A full room of community members sat in front of the Dillon Reservoir Recreation Committee's Tuesday meeting to discuss modernizing and relaxing the regulations on stand-up paddle- boards on Dillon Reservoir.
Current regulations from the committee require windsurfers and stand-up paddleboarders to wear either a dry or wet suit while recreating.
The attire requirement has been met with contention from some of those active in the paddleboard community who say the sport is growing rapidly and that suits pose potential danger to recreationalists who could over heat in summer temperatures.
The committee met the public comments with the fact that it is very likely that the wet suit requirement will be dropped while personal floatation devices and leashes may be added as a requirement.
"The PFD issue is not an issue, in fact, we recommend it," said Mike Ace Durkee, an avid stand-up paddleboarder. "It's a non-issue - it is the wet suit issue that we are more concerned about."
increased popularity of stand-up paddleboarders to the infancy stage of snowboarding.
"No one knew what to make of snowboarding when it first became popular - no one knew if that would be safe on the mountain," Durkee said. "Paddleboarding is bringing thousands of people to lakes like Dillon Reservoir to spectate in races, train at high altitudes and enjoy the sport leisurely."
Dillon Reservoir is perfectly situated for an elite, high-altitude training location for elite athletes, said some members of the public at the meeting.
"This is an unbelievably popular, up-and-coming sport - Dillon could be one of the best locations for stand-up paddleboarding in the world," Durkee said.
"No decision has been finalized, but there will be a change to the regulations imposed on paddleboarders," said committee chair Howard Scott, recreation technician for the U.S. Forest Service. "This is a fun committee to be on because sports are always changing - we just need to responsibly and appropriately come up with modern regulations on these types of recreationalists."
The water quality concerns held before is not as critical due to improvements in water treatment, though the temperature of the water is a cause for concern for inexperienced users of the reservoir.
Scott raised the concern that the cold water temperatures lends to the possibility of those using a paddle board to go into "cold shock" which triggers a person to gasp for air and potentially drown.
"We need to consider all of the possibilities," Scott said. "If we allow stand-up paddleboards then what is stopping an inflatable mattress from using the reservoir?"
The committee made clear that safety on the reservoir was the top priority.
"Dillon Reservoir is unique because we see a wide range of novice to expert users," Scott said. "Regulations on paddleboards need to apply to all walks of life - we need to give regulations a lot of thought to make it as safe as possible on the water."
Since the end of the season is approaching, new regulations are not likely to go into affect until the summer of 2013.
"I think we've missed the boat on changing the regulations for this season," Scott said. "A decision would need to be made almost immediately in order to implement new rules by fall - we're not to that point yet."

The Interactive Media & Web Design (IMWD) degree at Lindenwood University provides creative and aspiring minds with the skills needed to mix visual elements to effectively communicate a message to an analyzed target audience. Whether it be the marriage of video to a web interface, or the synchronization of audio to an animation, multimedia skills are in high demand; and graduates are capable of finding a fit in a variety of employment opportunities. For the student who enjoys any combination of web design, animation, video, audio, interface design, and/or computer graphics, this degree offers the skills necessary to turn an eclectic interest into a rewarding career.
Interactive Media & Web Design majors and minors gain hands-on experience with current industry leading software applications, but the learning transcends that of mere technological skills. Emphasis throughout the curriculum is on the transferrable skills necessary to make aesthetically pleasing and intuitive designs regardless of the application being used. A clear understanding of the target audience and how to best communicate an intended message is necessary; a design must not merely "look good", it must engage and communicate.
To ensure that IMWD students are able to succeed in this demanding field, a 57 hour degree program that spans a variety of topics while still focusing on a unified purpose of effectively communicating a message has been established. Students begin the program taking courses that will help to establish a solid foundation in graphics, programming logic, video production and web design. During their second year of studies each of these foundations is further enhanced and the student's sophomore year concludes with a focus on establishing a strong resume, digital portfolio, and plan for future employment. The third and fourth year of the program moves the student from mere knowledge of techniques to application. Students are challenged with real-world projects that result in the formation of deliverables for a variety of mediums. At culmination of the program students are required to further apply their education in the form of an internship or on-campus applied course. Through the internship opportunity, many of our majors formulate relationships that render them a job upon graduation. In addition to the internship a final IMWD Capstone course requires collaborative use of the skills that a student has attained during the program in a practicum format. Students not only finish the capstone course with a substantial project, but also a polished resume and impressive digital portfolio. During this four year journey students take courses that focus on graphic design, digital imaging, illustration, desktop publishing, 3D graphics, mobile application development, audio editing, video editing, interactive authoring, ethics, law, programming logic, web design, and more.
If an engaging and purposeful career that embraces both technology while encouraging creativity appeals to you, then Lindenwood University's Interactive Media & Web Design program has an open seat.

NBC executives on Sunday addressed concerns about the level of televised violence in the wake of the elementary school massacre in Newton, Conn., insisting that they don't run a "shoot-'em-up" network.
"I think it weighs on all of us," NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt told reporters at the TV critics press tour. "Most of the people at this network have children and really care about the shows that we're putting out there. It's something that's always in our mind, but this just brought it to the forefront."
Television violence figures to be a running theme at the tour, especially considering that both NBC ("Hannibal") and Fox ("The Following") are preparing to air shows pegged to serial killers.
NBC entertainment chief Jennifer Salke pointed out that "Hannibal," a drama that focuses on the early days of Hannibal Lecter, is a rarity on the network.
"There are so few shows that are violent on our schedule," she said. "So we are able to look at those individual episodes strategically and ahead of time, for the most part, and really try to make the best decision for those episodes without kind of strangling creators, but being responsible and respectful."
Greenblatt, who ran Showtime when it developed the serial-killer drama "Dexter," noted that broadcast television is governed by FCC-imposed parameters, unlike cable, which is "no-holds-barred." Still, he claimed that "Criminal Minds" on CBS "is worse than 'Dexter' ever was."
Even so, Greenblatt cautioned against drawing a link between real-life violence and that on the TV screen.
"I'm not a psychologist," he said. "But I'm not sure you can make the leap that a show about serial killers has caused violence in our country. There are many other factors, including mental illness and guns."
As for the content in "Hannibal," Salke said, "It's not like a shoot-'em-up kind of show ... It's not gratuitous in the way you might be thinking."

excerpt from David Bowie: I Am the Dragon Chapter One: The Bitch Is Born Gloria Stewart made a living as a nursemaid in Brixton in the late 1940's. She assisted in literally thousands of births. There was really nothing special that dreary Brixton day on January 8. 1947 when she was called to the Jones household to assist with the birth of a little boy, David Robert. Ms. Stewart always looked closely at the newborn babies she helped birth. They were beautiful, adorable, but without exception always the same. Their eyes were closed, they cried and were not aware of their surroundings. But this one, David Robert, born 3:30 pm, was very, very different. When David was born he was not like the other babies Ms. Stewart had seen. His eyes were clear, open and he was aware of his surroundings. It was like he was a little reporter, observing it all and taking it all in. When he focused his eyes on Ms. Stewart, he held eye contact. To Ms. Stewart he was like a little adult. Imagine a newborn baby acting like this! This was the most traumatic event in their little lives, yet David Robert was still, calm, intelligent and aware. There was never a baby like this. Ms. Stewart could not contain herself. She said something that would go down in history. "He's been on earth before." Everyone gasped. Even David Robert's mother and father knew what Ms. Stewart meant. David was already meeting their gaze with a steady gaze of his own. He was not crying, but reading their eyes and facial expression. Then, the unimaginable happened. David smiled. It was the first time he would charm an audience, but hardly the last. Everyone laughed with joy. David was already a star! copyright 2010
I like your first chapter, you have a great style of writing.
Thanks! Stay tuned for Chapter Two: "Shading His First Few Chords."

By the time Double Jeopardy rolled around tonight on the Celebrity Invitational we figured that Chris Matthews would reinforce our belief that cable news hosts shouldn't bother trying to prove that they know anything. Chris Matthews, consider our words eaten.
It's the second-to-last category in the Double Jeopardy round. David Duchovny, recovering sex addict, is at $11,800. That British guy from Mad Men is at $10,800-stupid Britons. And poor Chris Matthews is at a paltry 3,200. Not even Trebek thinks he'll manage to come back from this one... That is, of course until the Daily Double. After a slew of "OOoh!"s and "Aaah!"s, Matthews just dominates this category without even breaking a sweat, and all under a minute! Then, just when you think he doesn't have any more fire in him, he doubles his winnings again in the Final Jeopardy round.
Sure, Chris Matthews didn't win. But at least he didn't Icarus himself like Duchovny did. Jim Beam? Really? The truth may be out there, but apparently those answers aren't, huh David?

Instead of posting a referral link (250 extra Megs for anyone who follows â" and themselvesâ¦), I tell you what I liked about Dropbox as yet:
- runs and syncs just fine on Mac OS X (tried Tiger and Leo)
- runs on Windows, Linux
- Web access including sharing links
- Photo sub/folders have fine gallery view:
- Web 2.0-like interface
- download link on the view page
An easy to use and lite alternative to iDisk.
@tafkas : you can submit your idea on getsatisfaction, there are dropbox employees responding:
I just got myself an account of dropbox. So far the 2 GB free option works for me. I am considering to sync my photos as well. My thing is, that 50 GB is far to much right now. Hoping to see a pay as you go option. Maybe 1 USD for every commenced 5 GB, since they are using Amazon S3 anyway.
Simple, clean, fast and secure... I love it!
Best productivity app
I love Dropbox - does exactly what it promises. Easiest way to share files between computers.

In my last article, "How Native Tablet Applications Can Inspire Better Tablet-Optimized Websites", I outlined several principles from native apps that can be leveraged to improve browser-based web experiences on tablets.
As an example of the experience gap between many browser-based web experiences that haven't been optimized for tablet use and native applications on tablet devices, let's take a look at the A&E TV web vs. iPad experience to determine which experience better facilitates user tasks on a tablet device. For those not familiar with A&E, it is a United States-based cable and satellite television channel with the tagline: "Real Life. Drama."
While research should be done to validate A&E's users' needs, let's assume that A&E's digital content is likely frequently accessed by people sitting on their couches in front of a TV. These users likely want to find out more information about the shows, catch up on shows they missed, and find out when they are on. Under these general assumptions, does the A&E website or native tablet app deliver a more usable and enjoyable experience?
Read More
Native tablet applications are often described as being "more engaging" than their browser-based web experience counterparts. There are characteristics of native experiences that "feel" different from most browser-based web experiences. In fact, when considering a responsive design approach to optimize web experiences for tablets, many aim to design a mobile web experience that is more "app-like". But what does being "app-like" really mean? What can we learn from native applications that we can use to improve tablet-optimized web experiences?
There is currently a divide between browser-based web experiences that are optimized for tablet use and those that present existing desktop web experiences (perhaps with slight optimizations or none at all). Organizations frequently struggle with how to optimize tablet experiences, as the desktop experience can often be seen as "good enough," particularly given the additional cost of optimizing web experiences for tablets. However, there are lessons from native application design that can be leveraged on the mobile web that can result in deeper user engagement outside of the native application approach.
hab·it [hab-it] noun
In the book The Power of Habit, author Charles Duhigg explains how habits are formed and what it takes to break an ingrained habit. The book references a 2006 study from Duke University that found that 40% of the actions that people perform each day are habits, not purposeful decisions. Habits impact our daily lives in many different ways, even in how we interact with websites and applications. Being aware of how habits may influence interactions users have with your products can help you design better user experiences.
Duhigg breaks down how habits are formed into a very simple habit loop:
Content strategy is hard. It's clear that having a content strategy in place is critical to ensuring the success of most if not all projects. However, the reality is that actually doing content strategy work involves a lot of long, often tedious, and mentally challenging work. For that reason, when working on the content strategy aspects for a project, it's important to find ways to structure the activities and to keep track of the outputs of those activities.
In parts 1 and 2 of the "Mind Mapping for UX Design" series, I discussed applying mind mapping to sketch mapping and research mapping. Mind maps can also be used to help you wrap your head around the content strategy needs for a product or service and to make those activities more tangible, organized, and structured.
In almost all cases, a mind map alone won't be sufficient for completing many elements of content strategy (e.g. content audits, governance plans, metadata and taxonomy definitions, etc.). However, mapping out the high-level elements of content strategy can help ensure that the elements of your strategy are aligned and can help serve as a reference point when compiling the various aspects into a comprehensive strategy.
Content strategy maps outline content strategy activities and deliverables along with the top components that make up those activities. These maps can serve multiple purposes:
In part 1 of the "Using Mind Maps for UX Design" series, I discussed how to use mind maps to create "sketch maps" that organize ideas in a tree-based structure where sketches are used as the way to illustrate those concepts. Mind maps have many other applications for UX designers. This article will focus on how to use mind maps for user research.
Research maps are mind maps that can help you manage all aspects of user research, from planning, to conducting studies, through analysis and recommendations. Using mind maps to arrange elements of user research allows you to visually structure information in a way that helps you to make connections between research elements. For example, a research map could help you connect research goals with themes from your findings, identify connections across interviews or test sessions, or to match findings with recommendations. Instead of looking at different phases of user research in isolation (e.g. creating separate documents for your research plan, observations, and recommendations), a research map can help you see the big picture across all phases.

How do I use external fonts with QCAD?
I'm trying to do a laser cutter design. QCAD works quite well for the layout of the various cut parts. However, I don't see how to get text in a font other than those included by default. The fonts that come with QCAD are fine for machining drawings, but for text that actually ends up on the finished part, I need fonts that look good.

My husband once told me that one of the things that attracted him to me was that I ate vegetables. At the time I laughed, but I understood what he meant. When you're looking for someone to share your life with, it's probably wise to choose the person who will influence you to eat well, exercise, and stay healthy rather than someone who encourages you to make unhealthy choices. This works for spouses as well as friendships.
Earlier this month was National Friendship Day, which got me thinking about friends and how they affect health. Here's where I ended up: friends can be the best influences and the worst influences. They can encourage better eating habits and regular exercise, and sometimes they can encourage not-so-great food and lifestyle choices (I'm sure many of us have succumbed to the words "c'mon, just stay for ONE more glass of wine!"). While those naughty influences can be fun -- and we all need those once in a while too -- the friends who get you outside for a walk, to the gym, or to try cooking instead of ordering General Tzo's Chicken have a more positive impact overall. And you'll feel much better the next morning than when you had the extra glass of wine.
If you haven't tried combining friendship and exercise, give it a shot. Studies show that having an exercise buddy actually increases a person's commitment to consistent exercise, plus it makes the workout more enjoyable. Ask a friend to start up a weekly workout schedule with you. You'll be less likely to hit the snooze button again if you know someone's waiting for you at the gym. Plan a regular walk with one of your buddies where you can catch up on each other's lives while getting outside and moving.
Exercise can also help you develop new friendships -- ask a coworker to be your workout buddy or post a bulletin in your community. Visit a Website where you can connect with like-minded people to workout with, such as Exercise Friends or MeetUp.com. Sites like this can help you find a local hiking group or intramural sports team.
Food offers another way to encourage a healthy lifestyle between friends. Share tasty, healthy recipes with each other, or take turns hosting dinner gatherings where you try out new, low-calorie recipes. Just make sure to save those rich dessert recipes for only the special occasions.

Wilex rises after FDA agreement
09.10.2012 - German antibody specialist Wilex AG has reached an agreement with the FDA on the further development for its Redectane diagnostic.
According to Wilex, the US regulatory authority accepted the positive vote of an expert committee regarding the clinical usefulness of the test detecting renal tumours. The FDA however demands a second Phase III trial to confirm the diagnostic performance and safety of Redectane. WILEX assumes that an approval can be expected after successful conclusion of this second trial. Originally, the FDA had suggested to run a complex clinical outcomes study to prove the value of Redectane. Dr Paul Bevan, Head of Research and Development, said "eliminating the need for an outcomes-based study – which in our opinion was not a feasible option - will enable us to move forward with our strategy as the regulatory pathway for marketing approval of this innovative imaging agent is now clear. We are delighted with the result."
Redectane is intended to assist in the detection or exclusion of clear cell RCC during diagnostic workup of an intermediate renal mass. Wilex is already conducting preparatory work for the second trial called REDECT 2 and plans to submit the results to the FDA. German antibody specialist Wilex AG has reached an agreement with the FDA on the further development for its Redectane diagnostic. At the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Wilex was up more than 5% on Monday.

Swiss craftsmanship meets US technology
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 12:00:00 AM in IWC (29)
The Swiss are known for their expert craftsmanship and tradition. Few rival Swiss manufacturers and watchmakers in creating the most durable, complicated and beautiful watches in the planet. Mix this technical and aesthetical pedigree to the marvelous efficiency of the latest US technology you will have the International Watch Company. Engineer-watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones dreamed up IWC with the intentions of these two cultures to create parts and movements projected for the American market. With his friend and partner J.H. Moser, they founded the IWC in north-eastern Switzerland and became well-known for the being the only major Swiss watch manufacturers located in the region. With the company's admiration for the polymath from a little village in Itali, Leonardo Da Vinci, IWC created a line that's just like the man; ahead of their time. It was introduced in 1985 as the masterpiece of Haute Horlogerie. The mechanical Da Vinci sports a perpetual calendar showing the year in four digits. This line was expanded as editions continue to come out of the factory like the Da Vinci in a hi-tech case of colored ceramic—certainly the first in the world. Other notable collections are the Pilot's watches, Aquatimer, Portofino Family and the Ingenieur Family. For these are other collections, visit Shreve & Co., your trusted authorized dealer for IWC.

UCL Personal and Professional Development
Palgrave's Skills4Study Campus offers a number of modules to help you with your development at university. It's free for all UCL students with their UCL logins.
- Getting ready for academic study
- Reading and note-making
- Critical thinking skills
- Writing skills
- Referencing and understanding plagiarism
- Groupwork and presentations
- Exam skills
- Projects, dissertations and reports
- Employability and personal development
- Time management
- Confidence with numbers
- Research Principles
What to expect from your Personal Tutor
Who are Personal Tutors?
Every student at UCL is provided with a Personal Tutor (a supervisor in research degrees), who will normally be a member of teaching staff but not necessarily teaching courses taken by their tutees.
What sort of things can you discuss with your Personal Tutor?
Personal tutorial sessions should be scheduled in both small group and one-to-one formats to support tutees' learning and development, as well as considering personal welfare where needed.
This will include:
- facilitating personal and professional development in all years of study
- identifying any personal difficulties prevailing and advising or making referrals to
- advise on course progression and options
- general career advice
- recommendations for further study
Getting to know a member of academic staff
Since you will normally have the same Personal Tutor as you progress through your degree programme, it is common to ask them to provide a personal reference around the time you are graduating. If you have engaged with them consistently across the years, they should know you quite well both academically and personally.
Arrangements for personal tutorials
Detailed arrangements vary from department to department, but the baseline minimum standards are that you should have five scheduled personal tutorial sessions in the first year, of which three are one-to-one, and three in every subsequent year. Tutors usually also publicise 'office hours', when they are available for consultation on a drop-in basis. If your Personal Tutor is away for a significant length of time, alternative arrangements should be available for the duration. The person overseeing tutoring arrangements in each department is the Departmental Tutor, so they would be the person to call on if problems arise.
The more you put into it, the more you will get out
Your Personal Tutor has a wide range of professional and academic responsibilities and may be busy at certain times of year, sometimes unexpectedly. Don't let this discourage you from seeing them however - the personal contact and mutual commitment is a vital part of learning at UCL. By the same token, be conscious of how you use the time in tutorials and informal meetings and use it well. If you take on board the advice given and realise its benefits in practice, it is time well spent for both parties. Your Personal Tutor can offer guidance on your personal and professional development, via the planning and progress logging tools in Portico as described elsewhere in this site. This will provide a meaningful standing agenda item for each personal tutorial and a thread of continuity between them, particularly for the majority of times when there are no significant difficulties arising which might require welfare advice and guidance.

The Measles Scare and CDC Politics
Latest update: July 11th, 2013
Agudas Yisroel of America, in Federal Court depositions by experts on epidemiology and statistics, exposed the fraudulent data which Susan Blank and her friends at the CDC presented to bolster her case.
So seriously flawed was the City's case against the Mohels, that liberal, secular Jewish Federal judge, Naomi Buchwald, had no choice but to reject it.
So much for honesty and objectivity at the CDC.
Unfortunately, all doctors, pediatricians included, are controlled by the CDC. They ignore the guidelines of the CDC and the NYC Department of health at their peril. If they step out of these guidelines, they may be open to an expensive and messy malpractice suit.
The only legal protection a doctor has is to follow the "standard of care," as laid down by Government authorities.
So, now that we have some idea of how corrupt the CDC is, let's see how they handle the question of vaccinations.
First, we have to understand that vaccines are a multibillion-dollar business for the large pharmaceutical firms, Merck, Pfizer, Novartis.
It is a captive business, guaranteed to grow, since vaccines are forced upon children by law. A school or a daycare center may not admit a child who has not been given the entire recommended vaccine schedule.
Let's take a look at this "recommended schedule."
By the time a baby is one year old, the CDC recommends that he receive 21 injections against 10 diseases (some injections are boosters for the same disease).
This, despite the fact that, during the first year of life, the baby is unable to mount an effective response to any disease, because a full-fledged immune reaction would damage the baby's brain—God, in His wisdom, designed the baby's body that way.
That means that the baby is unable to tailor the immune system—the TH1 white immune blood cells—to respond to a particular bacterium or virus.
Heather Zwickey, PhD, Immunology and Microbiology, Yale University, explains that this is why any vaccines that doctors give before 12 months of age must be given again after that time in order for the immune system to tailor the THI cells properly.
One of the very worst vaccine abuses is the Hepatitis-B shot that is routinely given AT BIRTH. This vaccine is medically necessary only for the children of drug addicts, and, indeed, in most modern countries, this shot is given only when medically indicated.
"The Hepatitis B vaccine doesn't make any medical sense," says Dr. Larry Palevsky, a pediatrician in Long island. "Hepatitis has never been a disease prevalent in neonates (newborns)—Asinine, there's no medical indication for it."
Dr. Robert Sears, a famous pediatrician in California and author of The Vaccine Book, agrees that side effects of Hepatitis-B vaccination can be devastating to babies: high fever, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and prolonged hospital stays.
That's what happened at Chaim Sheba Medical Center in Israel. The first year that Hepatitis-B was injected into newborns, in 1992, the number of newborns admitted into the Neonate Intensive Care Unit (NICU) was double the number of the previous year, when the vaccine was not given routinely.
More than fifty scientific studies in both humans and animals, in peer-reviewed medical journals, have revealed that Hepatitis-B vaccine can cause lupus as well as potentially-fatal Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) (a form of paralyses). It increases the risk of type-1 diabetes by 250% and can cause other autoimmune diseases.
In a study done at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, one group of rhesus monkeys got the Hepatitis-B shot, while a similar group did not. The monkeys who got the shot showed significant developmental delays, when compared with those who did not.
Given this information, why would anyone in his right mind recommend this shot for a newborn child?
Pediatricians deny that there is any reliable research that demonstrates a link between vaccines and autism. Everything is blamed on a single doctor in England—Dr. Andrew Wakefield—who, it is claimed, single-handedly created panic among the British population by publishing a peer-reviewed article in the British medical journal The Lancet, proposing a possible link between the MMR shot and the explosive rise of autism, and recommending single shots only.Rabbi William Handler

107 Responses to "The Measles Scare and CDC Politics"
thank you for sharing this. I have B"H grandchildren now, when my children were young I did not know what to do. I did not know that the single vaccine was an option. I have had the feeling for a long time that he who holds the gold holds the power and the "truth", in what ever form it takes.
Nice summary of anti-vaccine talking points.
I am sorry to hear you are discouraging people from vaccinating young infants against diseases as dangerous as pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus and measles. Any of these diseases can kill or seriously harm a child. Adverse events from vaccine can happen, but are very very rare; that is not true of the harms of vaccine preventable diseases.
I am even more sorry to see you do it on the basis of an attack on the institutions, rather than on the basis of actual information. You say that you "differ with their statement that "there is no credible evidence that the MMR vaccination causes mental or physical damage to children.""; but there is no evidence that serious risks from MMR are anything but very, very rare and you have brought none. The vaccine injury court exists; it compensated less than 3300 cases in the 24 years of its existence, a very small numbers, especially given the large number of vaccine doses used. Here is a detailed analysis of the number: http://www.redwineandapplesauce.com/2013/03/05/a-look-at-the-numbers-in-vaccine-reactions/. There is no evidence that vaccines are harmful, and you have brought none; and still you encourage people not to use them to protect children.
Your autism claim – that vaccines cause autism – is based on two things: a defense of Wakefield, and the Hanna Poling case. As to Wakefield, putting aside his behavior, remember that his finding could not be replicated. Large scale studies from throughout the world found no connection. You can't blame the CDC for that – it included studies from Finland, Poland and Asia. Here is a link summarizing studies: http://www2.aap.org/immunization/families/faq/vaccinestudies.pdf.
Hanna Poling was not awarded compensation because a vaccine made her autistic. She had a rare mitochondrial disorder that could be triggered by many things – including a fever from a vaccine preventable disease – but the government conceded the possibility it could be caused by her vaccines and awarded compensation.
Not really caused, but probably triggered deterioration/clinical manifestations.
Someone is still pushing this old canard? Even if vaccines were causal in this case, and there's no evidence suggesting that, one case out of hundreds of millions of vaccinations that prevented millions of deaths seems like an amazing risk benefit ratio.
Thank you, Rabbi Handler, for this information so that parents can make "informed consent" before they decide whether to vaccinate or when to vaccinate. For even more information, parents can google "vaccine package inserts" to find out out what adverse reactions have been reported both in the testing and after-market phase of vaccines. Anywhere you see "encephalitis" or "encephalopathy", be very cautious. This is brain damage, which underlies autism symptoms. Here are some links: http://www.immunize.org/packageinserts/ and http://www.vaclib.org/chapter/inserts.htm#human.
Readers should be aware that some commenters here may be in the employ of vaccine manufacturing companies.
The old Pharma Shill Gambit. How tired. You can't argue facts so you try to make it sound like some mysterious conspiracy is trying to make you sound foolish. Who is paying you? Chiropractors, Naturopaths, Big Suppla. Mercola, Natural news?
The CDC determined there was no link between autism and vaccines after studying 25 children. Do you believe that's "credible"? …. read a little more into what the CDC's knowledge is…. http://www.aapsonline.org/vaccines/cdcfdaexperts.htm
http://childhealthsafety.wordpress.com/graphs/ vaccines get ALL the credit. What about scarlet fever? scurvy? typhoid fever? no vaccines but they are no longer around…
Jenifer L Sellars 25? I am counting around 4 million in the listed studies. AAPS? The John Birch Society of medicine? 3000 members and declining. HIV denialists? Yes, yes, yes, and yes. A fringe crackpot group like antivaxers.
Jenifer L Sellars Do you even know what those are?
From a report issued by the NYC Department of Mental Health and Hygiene dated January 7, 2013:
Direct oral suction during ritual Jewish circumcision (metzitzah b'peh) has been documented to transmit herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 to newborn males (1-4). In December 2012, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) received a report of a new case of HSV-1 infection in a newborn male infant attributable to direct oral suction.
In total, 12 laboratory-confirmed cases of HSV-infection attributable to direct oral suction have now been reported to DOHMH from 2000 – 2012. Two of these infants died, and two others suffered brain damage (4). In the most recent case,
the location of herpes lesions (on the penis), viral type (HSV type 1, which is commonly found in the mouth of adults), and timing of infection (10 days after circumcision) are consistent with transmission during direct contactbetween the mouth of the ritual circumciser (mohel) and the newly circumcised infant penis.
When evaluating an ill infant boy in the weeks following circumcision, providers should inquirewhether direct oral suction was performed during circumcision and consider infection with HSV or other oral pathogens.
Jenifer L Sellars Scarlet fever is still around but currently can be treated with antibiotics, for the moment. Scurvy is a vitamin C deficiency. Typhoid fever is still around and even with modern treatment has a 1% fatality rate. sanitation has helped curb it's spread.
All of that has nothing to do with whether vaccines work. Modern evidence and science based medicine has shown that they do. It seems to make you angry that vaccines are so effective. Does it threaten your closely held beliefs?
Kelly M. Bray No, she's just counting on people not to click through and to instead trust that her links somehow prove what she's saying.
That's one reason why, when I linked to the NYC Dept. report on bris-related HSV in infants, I also included pertinent text.
Your first link (to a legit organization) doesn't say what you imply it says, and your second link leads to this warning from Facebook: "The link you are trying to visit has been classified as potentially abusive by a Facebook partner."
Can you name 5 ingredients in a vaccine and what effects they have on the body? How about ever read a vaccine insert? Look at the science, and by that I mean from CREDIBLE sources, not those influenced by the almighty dollar. Sanofi Pasteur showing SIDS and Autism as side effects in Tripedia: http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/ucm101580.pdf
http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/vaccinetable.html US Dept of Health's "Vaccine Injury Table" Yep. This exists….
A good read about the lack of credibility vaccine.com (a Pharma sponsored website) references. They assume we don't look further into the science. This author did and found conflicting support. If anything, the references they cite create more doubt about aluminum safety. http://insidevaccines.com/wordpress/2011/11/28/overinformed-refusal-has-to-be-stopped/

if only vaccines works… http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/129/5/968.extract
single vaccines are VERY difficult to obtain. I've tried, to no avail. Only countries like Japan are smart enough to realize the need.
I see damage control from the usual shills for the drug industry, too late!
Jenifer L Sellars All it is saying is that acellular Pertussis vaccine needs a booster shot at around 11 to 13. You still are 23 times less likely to have Pertussis with the shot than without.
Quote from the summary of the article…"To overcome the problem, it needs to be recognized that B pertussis is circulating in all age groups and, therefore, for herd immunity there is a need to universally vaccinate all age groups at frequent intervals"
Have you considered an adult literacy class?
The VICP has paid out at least 83 cases of vaccine-induced encephalopathy (aka "autism) and that has been documented by Pace University School of Law. Vaccines are legally categorized as "hazardous waste" and "unavoidably unsafe." Dorit you work at a law school so you must be smart but you're not thinking critically and seeing through the government/corporate propaganda. I wish you well as you continue to study this.
Vaccine "science" is NOTHING BUT "tobacco science" plain & simple. It is NOT based in valid & legitimate UNBIASED fact, but rather just like the same "science" that claimed that smoking & tobacco were safe in the 1950s (and prior) vaccine "science" is based on manipulated data & biased studies conducted by those with clear conflicts of interest, secret agendas & ulterior motives!
"but for every life they help save from disease – the dreaded jab also harms more than 1,000 children, according to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention."
Is THAT what you call "the benefits outweighing the risks?!?!?" *smh*
Your comment is total BS!
First off, the ONLY reason that the Vaccine Injury Court has only compensated a very small number of cases is because LESS THAN 10% OF VACCINE INJURY & VACCINE INDUCED DEATH CASES ARE EVER EVEN REPORTED to VAERS!!
So IN ONLY 3300 CASES have been compensated and that is LESS than 10% of the TOTAL VACCINE INJURY cases, the number of UNREPORTED vaccine injuries is NOT small, but rather a LARGE PERCENTAGE of the number of vaccine doses given!!
For example, the CDC in China ADMITS that "for every life they help save from disease – the dreaded jab also harms more than 1,000 children, according to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention."
Is THAT what you call "the benefits outweighing the risks?!?!?" *smh*
I totally agree, Scott (and Jenifer!)
Dorit is clearly a pHARMa-brainwashed sheep & Offit clone!!
Man that doritt posts everywhere I think she needs a new hobby!
Jane, for the first link, you can click on the disease such as Hepatitis B, then click on the vaccine brand name such as Engerix-B, on pp. 6 and 7 are the adverse reactions from clinical trials and post-marketing. As for the 2nd link, it worked fine when I posted it earlier. Possibly an over-zealous vaccine proponent is abusing the Facebook reporting system?
Kelly, I never suggested anything about a conspiracy. No one is paying me. My child is vaccine-damaged. I hope that others will take the time to become fully informed about all aspects of vaccinations and make their own choices for their own children, something I never knew to do until it was too late.
Nice summary of antivaccine myths, you mean.
You misunderstand, antivaccine person- claims for compensation have nothing to do with reports to VAERS. They are directed through the NCVIP. And we know from analysis of VAERS reports that only 3% of reports were definitely caused by vaccines.
OK, I'll bite.
Sodium bicarbonate
Effects on the body? …Nothing. That do you?
PS I hope you realize that vaccine manufacturer's information sheets must include by statute all events that have ever been reported following administration of a vaccine, even when those things are coincidental and not causal?
He left out population control and mokey pus.
Readers should be aware that some antivaccine posters here may be in the employ of pharmaceutical companies. They are the ones who profit most by the unchecked spread of disease, all of which needs expensive treatment.
Your first link talks about long term formaldehyde exposure.
Fortunate then that vaccines which have formaldehyde are only given very intermittently.
Also, I hope you realize that a child's body produces on a daily basis more formaldehyde than in any vaccine? Why, I guess kids must be poisoning themselves, what with that genuine long term exposure…
Mike, interesting POV. That's a new one. I advocate that people become fully informed about the benefits and risks of vaccinations and then make up their own minds. Here's that link again http://www.immunize.org/packageinserts/ from the pro-vac camp and here's a link from the pro-informed consent folks http://www.vaclib.org/chapter/inserts.htm#human
Thank you Rabbi, for looking a bit deeper into the situation which has blinded so many. I trained as a pediatrician, ran an ER, have a masters in disaster medicine and I can't begin to tell you how deep the corruption is between pharma and the CDC. It is beyond the pale!
Unfortunately, kelly Bray, your comments are not based in reality. The majority of outbreaks in the US are in fully vaccinated populations. In Israel, it was discovered that immunization for pertussis actually causes colonization of para pertussis and much of the outbreaks are this species. In addition, we know the acellular vaccine is failing and this topic is all the rage in the industry. In fact, those who are not vaccinated tend to do better in the outbreaks for reasons unknown. please do your homework before spreading untruths
his findings can and have been replicated. remember, there was found to be no basis for Deer's allegations and the case was thrown out of court in England. Numerous other researchers have published the gut-brain connection and vaccine courts in and out of the US have paid damages to hundreds of children with brain damage leaving them autistic. please review the cases before making allegations.
Talk about comments not based in reality there, Toni.
Immunization for pertussis CANNOT cause colonization by b. parapertussis – because it does not CONTAIN b. parapertussis. Immunization against pertussis cannot cause pertussis either, since it is acellular.
The number of vaccinated individuals far outnumbers those who are unvaccinated, so we would expect to see more cases in vaccinated populations. If there's 1000 vaccinated for every 1 unvaccinated, well that shouldn't be too difficult to understand (I know math is hard, but the denominator matters).
The difference is, unvaccinated have a higher incidence rate of vaccine preventable diseases, as a greater proportion of their population is susceptible.
Because a Chinese site is so reliable, right?
Can I name 5 ingredients?
Distilled water – doesn't do anything.
Saline – doesn't do anything|
Formaldehyde – it's used to inactivate the virus – it's not an issue because our bodies can metabolize it in less than 2 minutes.
Aluminum salt (either phosphate or hydroxide) – it's used as an adjuvant to increase the immune response to the antigen. It's excreted by the kidneys. Also not an issue.
Neomycin (in some vaccines) it's an antibiotic. It's there to prevent colonization of the vaccine by bacteria, etc.
Toni Bark His findings have not been replicated. Sorry.
Readers should be aware that some folks commenting here may be in the employ of Age of Autism or other useless companies.
Kelly M. Bray there is no conspiracy, to the contrary its more like just facts in the open, if you only open your eyes!
And you shills left out it was just a coincidence, and the timing of the vaccine is about the same time a child is diagnosed with autism.
Vaccine issues aside (the few valid points about spacing out vaccines are overshadowed by his focus on the scare tactic of "everyone is corrupt so who are they to tell you what to do anyway?"), is the author advocating for continued use of Metzitz B'Peh? Absolutely disgusting. The Halachic backing for it is weak at best and CERTAINLY not in the face of direct harm to the infant.
Ushmartem Et Nafshoteichem – if you're going to use it to push an anti-vaccination agenda, yuo have to keep it in mind for the Bris as well!
Readers should beware of listening to anyone who uses a pseudonym to post comments.

More reliable than the biased Big pHARMa-funded corrupt corporate "tobacco science" of the so-called "mainstream media" American sites!!
Actually his findings have been replicated NUMEROUS times. And your comments about the vaccine ingredients are TOTALLY FALSE!
For example the use and overuse of antibiotics (like Neomycin) in vaccines are probably one of the reasons that people are developing resistance to antibiotics while diseases are mutating into drug-resistant strains. You really need to WAKE UP from the pHARMa-funded propaganda and do your homework!!

China administers over a billion vaccines a year. 1000 injuries leaves you with a 1 in 1 million risk of injury from the vaccine.
You're more likely to die in a car accident than be seriously injured from a vaccine.
Incorrect; the amounts of neomycin present in a vaccine are not sufficient enough to cause resistance – and vaccines are not administered often enough to be a contributing factor
I was with you until you mentioned the anti-defamation for the mutilation of boy's genitals. I could no longer read after that because of that absolutely disgusting statement. I'm sure I'll get ripped apart here, and honestly I didn't know what else I would expect from a Jewish linked article, but the fact that your website even exists is enough to make me want to vomit. Get your hands off of little boy's penises!
Amanda Wrigg – Are you nauseated at the notion that a Jewish website would be in favor of circumcision for boys?
I stopped midway through the second paragraph. It's people like this who are perpetuating the ongoing transmission of these vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccines are the one medical intervention that have been recommended over and over and over, for centuries, administered around the world to millions of people. "Subject" people to vaccines? Because people should prefer to be subjected to the life-threatening sequelae and even death that can result from enduring the disease itself. It is frightening to see such a widely read newspaper disseminate blatantly false and harmful information. I am abhorred.
Articles and authors like this drove me to pursue my MPH. That vaccines are good is, in fact, old news. These "news" stories must be fought tooth and nail to protect the larger community and the vulnerable populations. http://www.voicesforvaccines.org/
"At lease the IRS doesn't kill you?" Lord help us all if this mentality continues to spread. It's not bad enough that resurgence of pertussis at this point in 2013 is the worst in fifty years. To quote Dr. Alan Hinman, former Assistant Surgeon General, "Vaccines are good; disease is bad."
Thank you for this important information.
Toni Bark Why don't you quote the CDC figures directly? Not a newspaper article. What is considered harm?
Anti-Vaccine Liberals Nice rant with random capitalization. How do all those *bogus* studies get past the rigorous peer reviews…because in the end they are valid.
Anti-Vaccine Liberals Really, cite the studies that have replicated Fakefields findings. Also people do not become resistant to antibiotics. If you can't get that straight why are you commenting?
Sue Keller " Possibly an over-zealous vaccine proponent is abusing the Facebook reporting system? "
Or maybe you simply have no idea what you are talking about.
jewish press gets more absurd on a daily basis. how the hell do they print this crap?
No Kelly actually they DON'T have any "rigorous peer studies". If the "peer studies" are so rigorous as you CLAIM, why is it that drugs like Vioxx were able to KILL OVER 50,000 PEOPLE before it was finally TAKEN OFF the market?? Or Baycol, or Bextra, or Avandia, or Phen-Fen, or Meridia, or Redux or whatever other the "drug du jour is"?
EVERY drug and vaccine that has been taken off the market (thalidomide, DES, Vioxx, Bextra, Baycol, etc.) were first deemed "safe and effective" by your so-called "rigorous peer studies"!!
WAKE UP and STOP being such a BLIND AND NAIVE SHEEP!!

OMG you are such a brainwashed ignorant idiot it is INCREDIBLE!!
People DO become resistant to antibiotics! Ever heard of "Multi-Drug Resistant TB"? "Drug-Resistant MRSA"??
Do some research BEYOND just the biased propaganda that the Big pHARMa industry spoon-feeds you!!
Linda Tick Tock you are just as stupid and ignorant as Kelly!
With 50+ vaccines in JUST THE FIRST TWO YEARS of life, vaccines ARE administered enough to be (or become) a contributing factor to developing antibiotic resistance.
Especially when the 50+ vaccines in just the first 2 years of life is COMBINED with the antibiotics that are prescribed for every ear infection (which occurs PRIMARILY among the vaccinated while being RARE among the unvaccinated) and other illnesses, AND the antibiotics added to food.
Vaccines may not/are not the sole cause of the development of antibiotic resistance, but they DEFINITELY help "load the gun"!!
Kelly M. Bray http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/309672-1
Linda Tick Tock Once again, your comment is total BS!
First off, since LESS THAN 10% of vaccine injuries are ever even reported, the figure of 1,000 injuries for each one "saved by vaccines" is ITSELF significantly underestimated when you factor in the OTHER 90% of vaccine injury cases that were never reported or recorded (usually because the biased brainwashed sheeple [like you!] doctors refuse to report vaccine reactions, instead minimizing & dismissing those with vaccine injuries, claiming that it is something else, or more frequently, that they don't know what it is, but yet at the same time, trying to categorically state that "it has nothing to do with vaccines")
Secondly, your claim about being more likely to die in a car accident than be injured by a vaccine is complete crap as well. Because the difference is that, with car accidents, it is RANDOM, and for the most part, it is NOT preventable (though the risks CAN be reduced, by not driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, by not texting & driving, and by trying to avoid being on the roads at times when drunks are more likely to be on the road, etc.)
However vaccine injuries ARE preventable, because it is NOT necessary to inject toxic sludge into oneself or one's own kids to stay healthy. The SIGNIFICANTLY better health of the unvaccinated (http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/marvelous-health-of-unvaccinated/) compared to those who willingly pump themselves full of hazmat waste (if you don't believe me that its hazardous waste, just ask/see what happens if someone drops & spills a vial of vaccine solution! They have to call in the Hazmat team in Tyvek suits to clean it up!)
So yet again, another BS post by a brainwashed pHARMa sheep!!
Your comment is such BS, I don't even know where to begin, and I don't have the time for it anyway.
But since you ended with a quote, so will I, from Dr. J. Anthony Morris, former Chief Vaccine Control Officer and research virologist at the US FDA who said, "There is a great deal of evidence to prove that immunization of children does more harm than good."
Thank you!
If you have grandchildren, you don't want to listen to Willy Handler, given his pro-molestation agenda.
Vaccine trolls are even worse than 'intactivist' trolls
His child molestation views are far worse than either http://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/opinions/molestation-cases-must-be-handled-by-gdolim-not-by-experts/2013/05/26/
formaldehyde, high aluminum, polysorbate 80, etc… add it all together and its a recipe for toxicity. Anyone can nitpick one ingredient, but perhaps you should review the synergistic interaction of the entire list. Oh wait, that's right.. we have ZERO studies on aluminum and mercury for example.
Maybe a pro-child molestation guy isn't the best to speak up for bris milah or metzitza b'peh? You should've only let him speak his words about child molestation after this other nonsense, or better yet, not let him speak at all.
And so my sister's life long dream of being able to (legally) beat fools about by vaccines with a two by four begins!
And so my sister's life long dream of being able to (legally) beat fools about by vaccines with a two by four begins!
You mean vaccines aren't a government conspiracy to keep us down?
Jerusha Barton, don't worry about what this "Rabbi" says. He advises that Jews shouldn't go to the "secular" authorities in cases of child abuse/molestation, because he argues the non Jews are too over zealous and see abuse everywhere. There are special places where such people go, and I have a hard time imagining it's a good one…
Awwww thanks, sis. =)
Those who advocate for a more "spread out" schedule are almost as bad as the vaccine refusers. The vaccine schedule is precisely laid to ensure maximum protection of infants while balancing any interference from maternal antibodies. The immune system does not handle one germ at a time only, so while it appears disturbing the doctor "runs out of appendages" to vaccinate, the immune system is NOT overwhelmed. Therefore, there is NO basis for asking for a more spread-out schedule. Give the child a pediatric Motrin and be done with it. MMR has NOT been "proven" to have a bad record. In fact, in countries where there are current measles SIAs (mass vaccination campaigns), the WHO and local governments are petitioning to use the MMR so as to protect against congenital rubella syndrome. MMR got a bad reputation from a "doctor" who received payment from lawyers looking for someone to blame for a child's mental disabilities. He has since been stripped of his medical license and practicing privileges in the U.K., moved to Texas, and from there has been the subject of many a lawsuit. Study after study after study has debunked the Wakefield's claim that MMR vaccine "causes" autism. It is false and it perpetuates fear, which leads people to not vaccine or delay vaccination, which breaches herd immunity and leaves the youngest segment of the population vulnerable while ensuring the disease spreads within other age groups as well. Vaccines are neither 100% perfect nor 100% effective. But they work. The schedule works. The only vaccine that had a "bad enough" rap was the whole-cell pertussis vaccine. People accused the vaccine of causing "brain damage." That was unfounded. However, whole-cell pertussis vaccine did seem to associated with an increased incidence of seizures and other more-severe-than-expected adverse events and so was phased out by 1997 from use in the U.S. Since then, we have seen an increasing resurgence in children and adolescents who have received a mix or ONLY the acellular pertussis vaccine. Because of the resurgence, Tdap was created and recommended for use in 11-12y.o. in 2005. Eight years out, immunity provided by DTaP (pediatric formulation) and Tdap wane a horrifying amount within 5-10 years. The CDC has investigated the option of having two Tdap booster doses, but this recommendation was declined at the most recent Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice (ACIP, which makes immunization recommendation for the CDC and thus the U.S.) in June 2013. Vaccines work. When people call their safety and effectiveness completely into doubt and the demand is high enough, we have disappointments like Tdap and frequent resurgences, like measles and mumps. So with millions of lives saved and very few severe adverse events, who would dare say vaccines cuase "more harm than good?" Last I checked, smallpox was eradicated off the face of the Earth and how many diseases have decreased in incidence by 80-90% since their implementation? That's pretty damn hard to argue with, @Anti-Vaccine Liberals. And whomever you quoted probably doesn't work for the FDA at this point.
Actually, Wakefield's study was based on very few children (some of whom were attending his own child's birthday party). The CDC isn't the only entity to attempt to replicate Wakefield's findings. Therein lies the LACK of evidence to support Wakefield's "causal" link between vaccines and autism.
"First off, the ONLY reason that the Vaccine Injury Court has only compensated a very small number of cases is because LESS THAN 10% OF VACCINE INJURY & VACCINE INDUCED DEATH CASES ARE EVER EVEN REPORTED to VAERS!!
So IN ONLY 3300 CASES have been compensated and that is LESS than 10% of the TOTAL VACCINE INJURY cases, the number of UNREPORTED vaccine injuries is NOT small, but rather a LARGE PERCENTAGE of the number of vaccine doses given!!" VAERS and the vaccine court are two different things. First, there is no evidence for your claim that only 10% of serious injuries (as opposed to sore arms and mild fevers) are reported. Second, anyone with a serious injury can sue. Some people may not sue, but we know that people sue for injuries not caused by vaccines, like autism. So if you are going to claim the suits are less than the total, please provide some evidence. Second, even if we go with your assessment – 10 fold as many – that's 0.3%.
As to peer review studies – to remind you, we are talking about vaccines, not drugs. Vaccines have an elaborate system of post-clinical trials monitoring in place, and many studies are done after they are on the market. Done by researchers in universities across the world. With multiple sources of funding. The claim that all the researchers in the world are bought, all the governments in the world that monitor vaccines and support their safety are bought is just unconvincing, especially since you provided no evidence for it.
"he VICP has paid out at least 83 cases of vaccine-induced encephalopathy (aka "autism) and that has been documented by Pace University School of Law." encephalopathy is not autism. The article you refer to found that 83 of the 3300 cases compensated by the NVICP had autism. Given the rate of autism in the country, that's pretty low; and it's certainly not evidence that vaccines cause autism. The NVICP never compensated a child on the theory that vaccines caused that child autism. Never.
"unavoidably unsafe" – actually, the majority of the Supreme Court in BRuesewitz v. Wyeth rejected the application of the term (which does not mean what you think it means) to vaccines. I urge people to read the case.
Science did not claim that tobacco and smoking were safe in the 1950s; studies were slowly accumulating to the problems. Tobacco companies claimed it was safe. The CDC collects peer reviewed vaccine studies on vaccine safety from all over the world and organizes them by year here: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/library/index.html. If you think any of those studies are corrupt, would you mind pointing them out and explaining why?
Vaccines are 0.5 ml, a 1/10th of a teaspoon, most of which are liquid, usually distilled water. The amounts of additional ingredients them are minute. Since all these ingredients are already all around you – in the air, in the earth, in the food, and in the case of formaldehyde already produced by your body, obsessing about the tiny amounts in the vaccines is a little strange.

I do have to point out a rather large flaw in your statement.
People do NOT become resistant to antibiotics. From your own words, "Multi-Drug Resistant TB"
TB stands for tuberculosis. It's not a person. Neither is "Drug-Resistant MRSA" They are bacteria. The individual with DR-TB or DR-MRSA is not resistant to antibiotics, the bacterium in question is resistant.
If you're going to call someone an idiot, please be sure to leave your stupid behind before posting.

Actually Jenifer, the Vaccine Safety Datalink does monitor the recipients of vaccines in the US (and it isn't headed by the CDC) and they also watch for any possibility of synergistic effects of vaccines.
To date, there is no evidence to suggest that the components of the vaccine schedule exhibit any synergism in the recipients.
Furthermore, Jenifer – you want 'solid science', then I'd suggest you drop using safeminds and any 'study' promoted by its members, such an Neil Z. Miller, Ron Goldman, etc.
Their attempts at science are laughable, and their handling of the scientific method is, at best, poor
Anti-vaccine liberals doesn't have the time to begin with all this.
That's ok, he/she doesn't have any evidence to begin with, either.
Actually, it's not the PEOPLE who become "antibiotic-resistant," it's the particular strain of an organism that receives this resistance, whether through conjugation with another organism or learned resistance from repeated, incomplete treatments of antibiotics. Pick up a microbiology textbook sometime. And maybe an immunology book at that, those who don't "believe" in vaccines.
Very, Very few cases ever reach the vaccine court. There are very many technical rules that disqualify cases from even being heard, and those cases that are heard are a very tiny percentage of the actual cases that are out there. This is clearly a case of bureaucratic stonewalling.
There have been confirming studies in other countries. The famous Danish study that "debunked" Wakefield's research was conducted by a scientist connected to a major vaccine manufacturer–hardly an unbiased study!
Dorit: How do you know so much about Hannah Poling?–Her file was sealed–Why?
Kelly M. Bray Yes, all of the above have paid for the article–a true conspiracy!

Hello !
I noticed a small problem with the software and network shares.
I have a HP MediaSmart server, with Windows Home Server in french version.
This OS provide a default share named "Vidéos" and all my .mkv are in this folder.
PS3 Media Server point this smb share in /volumes on OS X.
In this configuration, my videos are choppy and the buffer does not fill quickly enough.
But, if I use a shared folder like: Videos, instead Vidéos, all works great!
There's a bug with "é" in the share path/folder ?
The problem is that I can not rename the default shared folder for videos.
Aby ideas?!
Thank's a lot!

He may not have a vote, but he has lots of responsibility as mayor of Georgia's second largest city. Deke Copenhaver got plenty of citywide support from voters, but many still don't know much about him. News 12 is on your side with more on the new mayor and what he hopes to do right away.
Mr. Copenhaver says many people doubted him early on, but says he proved a lot of people wrong when he won the election Tuesday night. And though he may lack political experience, he says he's more than ready to start the job.
If he's not already, Deke Copenhaver is likely to become a local household name. That is if you can pronounce it.
"You know, it's funny. I still think some people have some trouble with the name," Copenhaver said.
But you'll see and hear his name around for at least another year, after being elected as Augusta's new mayor.
"I know that there's some folks out there that say you've only got a year. I welcome the opportunity to prove to the people of Augusta what I can do as mayor," Copenhaver said.
The 38-year-old told News 12 he has a passion for more than just politics.
"I'm somebody from a big family, I have a strong faith," Copenhaver said.
Deke was raised in Columbia County, and later lived in Atlanta and Buford, South Carolina, before starting an environmental non-profit organization in Augusta. And just before the election, he took us on a tour of a soon to be park for children in the community.
"I'm going to have to leave a job that I really love to enter the mayor's office, but this is really, getting into this race and becoming mayor is just an extension of public service," Copenhaver said.
And last night at his victory party, Deke made a promise.
"Augusta did not get in the situation it's in overnight. It's taken awhile and we will not change it overnight. But we will start to change tomorrow morning," Copenhaver said.
