In Reply.—The response to my seasonal offering of speculation on the illness that may have afflicted the fictional Dickens' character Tiny Tim has been most enjoyable and overwhelming. The thoughtful letters, particularly those from medical historians and Dickens' scholars, are greatly appreciated and many serve to reinforce my speculation that Tiny Tim could have suffered from reversible renal disease. In response, I would like to explain my reasons for writing the article.
The concept arose as a teaching tool. About 5 years ago, my wife and I were watching one of the film versions of A Christmas Carol. As the pitiful character of Tiny Tim limped into the scene, she asked me what was wrong with him. Without thinking, I responded that he probably had cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy. Not satisfied with my answer, she persisted and reminded me that I was a pediatrician and ought to be

Skip to comments.Where Thought Flowered (The West Owes a Great Debt to the Intellectual Scholarship of Arabs)
Posted on 04/13/2009 8:59:52 AM PDT by nickcarraway
The House of Wisdom
By Jonathan Lyons
Bloomsbury / 272 pages / $26
Dust will never gather on Jonathan Lyons' lively new book of medieval history - the opening page of his The House of Wisdom cites a cleric scandalized by the Crusader ladies of Antioch and their penchant for the plunging neckline and the bejeweled merkin. If this is the Middle Ages, thinks the reader, bring it on! But this pleasure gradually gives way to another beguilement, to be found in Lyons' subtitle: "How the Arabs Transformed Western Civilization." That phrase suggests a brave viewpoint for a historian nowadays, one at odds with the us-vs.-them mentality copied from the Cold War and pasted on to any consideration of things Islamic.
Whether it's the ecstatic Lt. Gen. William Boykin claiming his Christian God is "bigger" than the Muslim God, or the late Harvard professor Samuel Huntington peddling, like some harebrained imam, an inevitable "clash of civilizations," the twain of East and West has seldom seemed less likely to meet than in the past few years.
For Lyons, a former Reuters reporter who roved the Middle East for two decades, the task is much greater than reminding the general reader of the splendors of Umayyad Cordoba. He is out to reverse a long-standing prejudice regarding the stupendous flowering of scholarship in medieval Islam.
Even when that flowering is recognized - but does anyone really remember learning about it in school? - it is usually brushed off as an unfortunate hiccup in the transmission of classical Greek thought to the Renaissance. In this view, the translators and scholars of Baghdad,Cairo andToledo were mere copyists or, at best, librarians, unwittingly preserving the genius of antiquity's philosophy and science in their dimly lit mosques - until the West recovered its brilliance.
(Excerpt) Read more at baltimoresun.com ...
And the Arabs' intellectual prowess since Islam?
In the immortal words of Janet Jackson: "What have you done for me lately?"
As I understand it, the "intellectual scholarship" of Islam was merely permitting the intellectuals of the subjugated nations to continue to practice their professions. It had nothing to do with anything Islam brought to the equation. Much like "Islamic architecture" and "Islamic engineering" and "Islamic art" were merely coopted from the conquered peoples.
Colonel, USAFR
Hey, muslims have given us great advances in propaganda and the use of human shields.
They can make evil look good and good look evil.
That's hard stuff.
Much of the perceived Arab scholarship was the dying light of Roman, Greek and Persian culture. Once the last vestiges of those civilizations died, middle eastern culture stagnated.
All very well, but that was then, and this is now. And now they are barbarians at best, savages at worst.
The denigration of the superior scholar Samuel Huntington is reprehensible. Anyone who has not read The Clash of Civilizations really is missing a major historical landmark.
I asked one of the staff what happened to send Persian Art and Culture into a nosedive about that time and why there was so little after that time. She was evasive as any good government bureaucrat but finally admitted that time was a time of great warfare. I knew not to ask what brought on that warfare because I knew it was a time of forced conversion to Islam and replacement of the tolerant Zorastian religion with a religion of intolerance and political oppression.
The flourishing of Persian culture after that time coincided with periods when secularization forced relaxation of the iron grip of Islam, the most recent example being from the early 1930's until 1979.
But Islam contributed little on its own. And it turned a blind eye to outside influences centuries ago. The Silk Road ended, and European sailors began sailing around Africa to trade with the East, because the Arabs were inhospitable. Coincidentally (or not!) Arab civilization stopped shining so brightly. After perhaps 1500, the Arabs stayed the way the were, as Europe continued to progress.
I believe one could make a strong case that Arabs did little on their own, but made some good use of the work of others. When the Arabs stopped dealing with outsiders, and were left to their own devices, their progress came to a grinding halt.
Doersn't speak well of them, IMO.
You are absolutely correct, and the reporter of this piece from the Baltimore Sun is as ignorant of history as that lady who was head of HP before being fired, who gave a major speech about this very same subject. Why don't the Christians of the United States know about the evil and the destructive power of Islam, instead of hearing it praised for the actual achievements of those whom it had enslaved?
There was a little more to it than that: because the Muslims conquered both provinces of the (Eastern) Roman Empire where classical Greek and Roman learning was preserved, and India, intellectuals in the Caliphate(s) could combine the fruits of those intellectual traditions.
There was a resulting brief attempt at a birth of empirical science in Muslim lands during the Middle Ages, but it was cut short.
Many of the vaunted Arab intellectuals were Christians, some were Muslims, but the latter ceased to provide any scientific contributions of any note when the occasionalist epistemology and ontology of Al Ghazali won out over the Aristotelian views of Avicennia and Averroes: If Allah is an arbitrary tyrant, and all things, even each instance of water boiling or ice freezing, happen by the direct will of Allah, then there is no basis for empirical science. And that, was the view of Al Ghazali, which is now the dominant view in all of Muslim thought.
Didn't the mooselimbs give us Zero?
And you can take that either way you want.
I saw Persian reliefs at the British Museum that were the
equal of Greek and Roman ones.However,I agree with the posts
about the Arab Muslims co-opting other groups works.
As in... Since the 7th century or so.
never mind the Libary of Alexandria or how it came to be destroyed...
In his GREAT book "What Went Wrong?" by Bernard Lewis, he points out that a time frame from thirteenth to the 17th century sometime (I don't remember exactly where) only one book was translated from the western world into Arabic.
It was a book on venereal diseases, and because that was considered to be a "Frankish" disease, it was acceptable for a muslim physician to own and use a Frankish book, or at least to translate it.
During that same time, tens of thousands of books were being tranlated from a multitude of languages into other languages, but only one was translated into Arabic.
I recall it was a period of more than 100 years with only one book translated from ANY language into Arabic.
That is what went wrong with Islam. They never thought infidels had anything constructive or worthwhile to offer, not much different from today.
Even more telling, when a european ship was beached after the crushing defeat of the Muslims at Lepanto in the 16th century, there was a debate amongst the muslims who were undecided on whether they could steal any features from the beached European ship and implement those changes into their own ships. Because it was an infidel contraption, they had to have a religious ruling on it.
THAT is why Islam is where it is today.
The heavy media saturation (and "art world conversion") regarding the greatness of Islam came after the 9-11 attacks. It sickens me.
I don't need institutional condemnation of all muslims but I don't need to see lockstep celebration of a religion that converts by the sword and enslaved generations.
I looked at it once and it seemed to me that whatever great things came from the conquered nations ended after about 40 to a hundred years of Islamic rule.
Fr. Stanley Jaki has an interesting book called "Savior of Science" that talks about why science hit dead ends in most cultures, including Islam. Islam failed to put together many realizations received from other cultures and advance them to the next level. The Christian West flowered soon after it got access to much of that material putting ideas together that never occurred to Islamics or to the cultures to absorbed.
Islam failed to add much to the accumulated knowledge because their concept of Allah was not bound by internal consistency. Since Allah's will was subject to change at anytime, so was the reality of the world and there was no philosophical foundation on which to build a systematic study of creation. Christianity had the foundation of an ex nihlo creation and an unchanging and loving God whose will was absolute but firm that allowed Western science to quickly outpace the rest of the world.
Post Ptolemaic Egypt and the largely Hellenic intellectual community at Alexandria is one example.
Much of that scholarship had been flowering under the Byzantine (or eastern Roman) empire until the Muslim conquerers took their libraries and best minds.
Sort of like us asking the Germans to thank us for the flowering of American rocketry under Werner von Braun.
There were some greats. I, who am no scholar, know of Ibn Rushd (aka Averroes) of Andalusia. But something happened that led to a long slow decline. And good arguments have been made that the "something" was the rise of an anti-intellectual strain of theology. I dunno, but it sure seems likely to me.
See my post at #17.
Yeah, but what HAPpened? We call Ptolemy's astronomical work the Almagest because we got it from them, and many of the stars have Arabic names ("Alcor","Alkaid", "Zubenelgenubi" and the like) . Alchemy? Of course it looks like algebra started in the Indies and only "passed through" Arabian culture. So it leads one to think that around the 13th century somebody slammed on the brakes.
Right. What happened is that they thought there was no culture that had anything to contribute to them, so they became completely insulated.
As the West went through the Renaissance, people in the West were learning and discovering all kinds of new things, taking the best of all the societies around them and so on, Islam was in a situation where someone had to make a ruling and issue a fatwa if an idea was proposed on how to make their ships better, but that idea came from an infidel vessel.
The right type of leadership in Iran could make the Arabs largely irrelavant despite their vast oil resources . . . and vice versa.
Good point. Thanks
Thanks nick!

You'll find Peter BetBasoo's brilliant reply to that speech by Carly Fiorina on my home page.
The Muslims preserved much knowledge they got from conquered countries (is it ok to say conquered?), but real advances? Not so much.
Thought that was a goat stew.
Read the book "What Went Wrong" by Bernard Lewis. It takes about 7 hours and is very interesting. Then draw your own conclusions,
Constantinople alone managed to hang on as a civilized state while the Mohammedans in TYPICAL Muslim style bankrolled their "empire" by looting, plundering, slave dealing and warfare with one another and their Christian neighbors.
Islam is a piratical faith and a piratical culture.
This book is just so much pablum for politically correct imbeciles. If the Muslims had not turned the Mediterranean into no man's land for western Christians they could jolly well have gotten all the Roman and Greek Culture they needed from the Byzantines, without having it distilled through Islamic hands.
I get it. Kind of like Ivy Leaguers from the Northeast. They can't possibly learn from anybody else -- they know everything worth knowing.
We owe far more to Byzantium than we will ever owe the Islamic culture anything.
Mmmmmm. Goat stew! Mmmmmmmm.
The Islamic "Golden Age" occurred during their period of expansion, where there was a steady influx of loot and slaves who knew how to run a civilization. As soon as their expansion was stopped, and they had to survive on their own productivity, Islamic "civilization" went into steep decline. It was only resurrected when a new source of unearned wealth (oil discovered and drilled by Western companies) came along.
The Dark Ages of Western Europe began with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire around 400 AD. (Note, however, that the Eastern Roman Empire, based in Constantinople, survived just fine well into the Middle Ages). Islam was not founded until the 7th Century.
There were lots of problems with barbarians, and the Islamic contribution definitely kept things bad for Western Europe for more centuries than would otherwise have been the case.
An interesting aspect to the fall of Rome was that it happened during a Global Cooling period, when dropping temperatures produced lower harvests (and thus less revenue to support the Legions), plus causing mass migrations of barbarian people looking for better farmland.
Man! Don't say stuff like that w/o some details. I'm perfectly willing to believe it, and I know that the classics were preserved in the "East" and all. But I also know Ptolemy and Euclid and to some extent Aristotle came to us through the Muslims. And that ain't hay.
Lots of that also came from Constantinople; I'm pretty sure
since Byzantine culture was Greek very early on that lots of classical works were passed on to us from them. Not to mention Roman law codified under Justinian I that passed into European law right down till modern times.
LOL...as someone who lives up here...I would say that is an entirely accurate analogy.
There are scholars who dispute that. Read Henri Prienne
"Mohammad and Charlemagne" an oldie but goodie.
The central government in Rome may have collapsed, but some of the "barbarian" successor states like the Ostrogoths in Italy and Visigoths in Iberia wished more to carry on in the Roman tradition than to destroy the culture and society. The spread of the Islamic menace through the Mediterranean, along with the kind of endmenic slave-rading and plundering naval actions so typical of Muslim bahavior towards all non-Muslims created a cultural break between western Europe and Byzanitum which was still a bastion of Greco-Roman culture.
"An interesting aspect to the fall of Rome was that it happened during a Global Cooling period, when dropping temperatures produced lower harvests (and thus less revenue to support the Legions), plus causing mass migrations of barbarian people looking for better farmland."
It may have been a contributing factor in some cases, but the main reason for the initial Volkerwanderung was the conveyor belt of nomad warriors from Central Asia bringing the Huns westward.
The Roman Empire sort of self-destructed due to many factors like the lack of a clear order of secession, which drove a whirlwind of civil wars for imperial control. In the 200's Roman civil wars pretty much devastated the military leadership of the legions as well as their manpower, driving them to recruit more and more barbarians en mass to fight against their own people under their own leaders rather than to gradually assimilate and Romanize them as they had done earlier. We SHOULD be taking notice of that. Currently, the influx of illegal aliens is so overwhelming our society that our ability to acculturate these people and assimilate them successfully has been seriously compromised, threatening the fabric of our society.
Well Euclid came to 'the West' because some monks snuck into Muslim Spain and copied it. Aristotle and Ptolemy MOSTLY came to us through Muslims. it's not that Byzantium didn't have this stuff. It just wasn't reaching the West from there, or not a lot anyway.
Muslim "science" is mainly if not totally a ocpy or a plagiarism and extension of Greek science.
I agree. Rome was more a Mediterranean civilization rather than a European one, whose prosperity depended on free sea trade along the Med coastline. Islamic pirates cutting the sea lanes between Byzantium and the rest of the European Mediterranean devastated the Med economy. Plus Europe no longer had access to North African grain, and the overgrazing by Arab herders turned North Africa from the breadbasket of the Roman empire into the desert wasteland it is today.
"Plus Europe no longer had access to North African grain, and the overgrazing by Arab herders turned North Africa from the breadbasket of the Roman empire into the desert wasteland it is today. "
Good point!! I forgot about that.
The Romans had turned North Africa into a wealthy province with irrigation and farms. The Muslims in true arab style converted it back into a wasteland by neglect and damage.
Was the Islam of Old Spain Truly Tolerant?

Variable ticket pricing sets prices for individual games in a season that parallel ticket demand. The Ravens will utilize a two-tier pricing model that establishes separate pricing for preseason and regular season games. With this change, the charge for all preseason tickets in all price categories will be reduced by nearly 50%, while the pricing for each of the team's eight regular season games will increase by approximately 12%. The total cost of your season tickets does not change.
Please view our Stadium Diagram for a full list of season ticket and non-season ticket pricing for preseason and regular season games.
In our annual fan surveys, PSL Owners have consistently asked us to recognize the value of preseason versus regular season games in our pricing. We have heard it loud and clear, and we believe it is time that we met that expectation.

Turner Makes 'Friends'
Victor/Victoria, move over: Kathleen Turner will play Matthew Perry's FATHER on a special May 17 hour version of "Friends," reports columnist Liz Smith. The episode, reports Smith, will contain a scene in which Monica (Courteney Cox Arquette) happens upon the father of her soon groom-to-be, Chandler (Perry), in a nightclub. Dad is dressed in drag and perched atop a piano, singing "It's Raining Men." "That's my dad!" Chandler exclaims. Smith asked Turner who will play Turner's mate. Replied the actress: "The lovely Morgan Fairchild! She is my wife . . . Chandler's mother! Is that great, or what?"

Did you know that the word "entrepreneur" comes from the old French "entreprendre" which meant to undertake? Undertaking a business of any kind comes with its fair share of, and here I can't help using a cliché, agony and ecstasy. Today we see more and more entrepreneurs taking the plunge to manage their own enterprises, and either sinking or taking off depending on the success or otherwise of their ventures.
Many take to entrepreneurship for the love of striking out on their own, frequently taking less trodden paths. If by chance your venture is closely related to your biggest passion in life, I would say half the battle is won.
One such entrepreneur who started her venture at the intersection of two of her passions, namely for books and for web-based technology is Vanishree 'Vani" Mahesh. She is my guest today, in the third in the series, "Interesting People."
Vani runs Easy Library Bangalore's oldest on-line library which she founded in 2001. She and her husband Mahesh had returned from the US in 2000 and she was looking for avenues to use her talents as a software professional. She had, after all, a Bachelor's degree in Engineering from Mysore and a Masters from New Mexico State University. She had worked for IBM and could easily have got a lucrative assignment in Bangalore, which was on its way to becoming the tech capital of India.
However something else tugged at her heart-strings. She had worked, and how, for a number of years. She was convinced that the time was ripe to do something different, something new and something in which she could harness her passion for technology with her deep interest in books and reading. Easy Library filled a vacuum. There was a felt need amongst busy people in Bangalore to have a service which would deliver books to them without their having to take time off to physically go all the way to a library. This meant much for people who seemed to spend forever on commutes to and from work. The very thought of another drive in teeming traffic to pick up a few books put off all expect the most hardy. The only thing they accessed easily was their computer.
Vani decided to go on-line. Naturally most of her first customers were techies. They had access to internet and her offering which enabled them to browse through catalogues of books, reserve books and have these delivered at their doorstep met their need in full. Sure there was a cost involved but they didn't mind paying for this badly needed service. Says Vani. " EasyLib (www.EasyLib.com) is the first online library in India. Started in 2001, EasyLib is known for its hand-picked books, efficient book delivery service, and literary events. You can like our Facebook Page which will keep you abreast of events and books at EasyLib."
From these small steps Easy Library has grown over the years. Here are extracts from my conversation with Vani:
Prem: You spent 7 years in the US as a software engineer, what made you start Easy Lib? How did your professional background help you in this?
Vani: My passion for web technology and for books is what promoted me to start EasyLib. Web has a lot of potential as we already see. My software engineering background helped in making the library technology driven.
Prem: How many members do you have in Easy Library? What are the trends you see since you opened this over a decade ago? What are today's membership profiles like? Are teenagers reading books these days?
Vani: We have about 2000 active members. There are many more who use the facility less frequently. Given mine is an online library, initial clientele comprised mostly of techies. They were the ones with easy access to fast internet then. But now students and homemakers make a large part of the membership. Teenagers read quite a lot during holidays.
Prem: How many books do you have? Which are some of the most popular genres? What are people reading these days?
Vani: New members are surprised to know that we have as many as 28000 books. This keeps growing with time. Popular genres would be thrillers, romance, and Indian writing. I observe quite a few takers for contemporary literature and fantasy.
Prem: How does the library actually work? What does success mean to you? What are the innovations you would like to bring about in future years?
Vani: Login or walk-in is our slogan. Offline, it works like any library. Online, people login and reserve. We door deliver those books (anywhere in Bangalore) and pick them up once they are read. Innovations we can bring in depend on what innovations happen in the area of web development. My main aim is to keep the library stacked as always with quality books. Success to me would be feeling happy about coming to work. And of course make money! Not oodles but enough to keep running the library at a good standard.
If you would like to check out the library in person, here is the address: 972 H, 1st A Main, S.T.Bed Layout, 4th Block, Koramangala, Bangalore, India 560034. There are different offerings at different rates.
Prem: What was the most difficult part of your journey as an entrepreneur? What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs?
Vani: Hiring and training is a challenge. For anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur, do something that fascinates you! I was lucky to get the unstinting support of my husband, Mahesh, who is a professor at PESIT and my daughters, Neethi and Akshara. My girls are voracious readers at 13 and 7, making the library worth it.
Thank you, Vani. You are an interesting combination of a tech professional and entrepreneur who has effectively channelized your passions. We wish you all the very best.

My Toddlers Locked Me OutDanielle
I took on the grocery store with three children in tow on Thursday. All was fun and games till it came time to unload my mini-van.
Since we live on a semi-busy main road I escorted the boys to the house, turned on the TV in the living room and explained to them, like they had not heard it 80,000 times before that they needed to wait in the house, safely, while I unloaded the car.
The first two loads of bags I had to repeat to them to go back into the living room. Well on the third trip back to the house… I got to the screen door, went to open it… and it was locked.
They had locked the screen door, and were both sitting there on the other side of the door giggling.
I have to admit at first I let out a little giggle myself because they are extremely clever, and mildly hysterical when they put their minds together, especially to plot against me.
But then they started walking back to the living room…
Ha… ha… ha! Nice joke guys… now come on and unlock the door… No seriously… It isn't funny anymore… unlock the door.
The best part of it all is the fact that no matter what, there simply is no key to that door because it is a simple screen door.
After they realized they were slowly gaining momentum onto the naughty list once I composed myself and put on my serious mommy face, they unlocked the door with ease.
Then came the lecture about how they should never lock that door, or play that game with Mommy ever again. In the back of my head as I said those words, I thought to myself for your own damn safety because next time I won't laugh about it!
Life with toddlers is never dull right?

That sounds like a claim youd hear on youtube by the average 14 year old ending his transmission with TYSON4LYFE!
Most boxing fans who like Mike, still realise Holmes was a spent force at that stage .

Mike Tyson's a huge fan of Larry Holmes.
He told me personally in 2009 he feels he is the greatest Heavyweight ever and that he was honoured to share a ring with him. And the win didn't mean much (I knew this already)
So yeah, Tyson knows himself the win wasn't all that.

The Maurice Harris win was a total robbery too.
On thing though, Holmes was in much better shape when he fought Mercer compared to the one who fought Holmes. He didn't have time to get in top shape for Tyson after a long layoff.

Larry Holmes had said openly in a ESPN interview that he was offered the Tyson fight twice and turned it down...he was retired. But when they offered it to him the 3rd time for 5 million (which was big money in the day) he said WTF and trained for all of 6 weeks after 2 years of retirement and inactivity. He showed up for the cheque only. It was never a big deal fight for Tyson.

Anyone who got in the ring with prime Holmes was in deep! Simple as that one of the best competitors EVER! If he didn't follow Ali he's be considered with Louis and Ali and Marciano etc even higher than he is now. It would be tuff on anyone follow Ali huge personality only J. Johnson could pull that off.
Tyson would be in deep with Larry, he'd have to come out strong and be non stop relentless smoothering Larry and stepping over to get off angled shots.
You could shake up Larry if you start that way but you better get it done too!
Inside 4 rounds Tyson has his shot, after that Larry is gonna be backing him off and Holmes had a very good upper cut and could throw his right hand from all the right angles.
Just watch Holmes vs Norton and you'll see to guys that happen to match up well and at that time Kenny was a hungry guy who felt he could hang with Larry and he was right! One of the very best Heaveyweight fights ever in my opinion.
Tyson always has the punchers chance but just remember when he gets hit he's not the same guy and Larry would hit him, more an more as the fight went on! I'll take Tyson in 2 after that Holmes stops him late!!
..............Big George wanted NO Part of Larry Holmes, thats the truth too!

How about this, Holmes fought at a high level "considering his age". To me I consider his win over Mercer and his loss to McCall his finest performances. Admittedly he no longer had the reflexes, speed or legs he had in the early 80's but the fact that he adjusted to his shortcomings and lasted as long as did was pretty amazing in my book. Even if his level of competition was not spectacular, compared to today's "convenient" matchmaking it isn't really that bad.

At least Holmes put up some kind of a fight, unlike Michael Spinks, who Tyson beat to become Ring and lineal heavyweight champion.

Cher Dishes To Billboard About 50 Years On The Charts
The icon got super candid about pop music, "I Got You Babe," and future touring plans.
The icon got super candid about pop music, "I Got You Babe," and future touring plans.
After postponing several shows due to illness, Cher has canceled the rest of her Dressed to Kill (D2K) Tour.
Was to be performed on November 9th at the United Supermarkets Arena
We just launched our brand new YouTube channel, and to celebrate we're letting 98.1 KOOL listeners subscribe to it for a shot at Cher tickets.
So, Landon ROYALLY messed up. Here's what happened...
We're taking karaoke to the next level with a little help from Cher and giving you a shot at an epic prize package to celebrate her big return to Lubbock.
The special guests for Cher's upcoming show in Lubbock have finally been confirmed. Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo will open the Nov. 9 show at the United Supermarkets Arena.
Cher has postponed tour stops in New York and New Hampshire after coming down with a viral infection.
The legendary singer is coming to Lubbock's United Supermarkets Arena Sunday, November 9. Want to be there? We got you, babe.
The one and only Cher continues her 'D2K Tour 2014' and will be adding a show in Lubbock, Texas on Sunday, November 9.
If you want to donate to autism research AND have an AWESOME outgoing phone message, you need to listen up:
By now you've heard that former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died yesterday at the age of 87. Or, if you get your news from Twitter, you may have heard that Cher died. That's because after Thatcher's death, someone started the confusing hashtag #nowthatchersdead.

Last week, in a False Claims Act ("FCA") case based on the so-called "implied false certification theory," the Sixth Circuit held that the plaintiff must plead a violation that is a "prerequisite to payment" and applied this requirement as a necessary element of proof of "falsity" under that theory. In United States ex rel. Chesbrough v. VPA, PC, dba Visiting Physicians Ass'n, No. 10-1494, 2011 WL 3667648 (6th Cir. Aug. 23, 2011), a decision that affirmed dismissal of the qui tam complaint for failure to satisfy Rule 9(b), the court held that in the absence of any statute or regulation that conditioned the government's payment on compliance with radiology industry standards or HIPAA's patient confidentiality provisions, there is no FCA cause of action based on a violation of those standards or provisions. The Sixth Circuit specifically relied on the Second Circuit's reasoning in United States ex rel. Mikes v. Straus, 274 F.3d 687 (2d Cir. 2001), where the court held that alleged violations of medical standards of care are not actionable under the FCA because they are not requirements of reimbursement. Applying similar reasoning to the relators' allegations of substandard testing and HIPAA violations, the Chesbrough decision held that the allegations failed to satisfy Rule 9(b) because they did not allege that the purported violations were prerequisites to payment. The Sixth Circuit's decision is significant in that it adopts a stringent interpretation of "falsity" and effectively limits FCA liability based on implied false certifications. While not citing the Fifth Circuit's decision in Steury v. Cardinal Health, Inc., 625 F.3d 262 (5th Cir. 2010), which also relied heavily on Mikes, the decision in Chesbrough means that three separate circuits have limited FCA liability based on the implied certification theory to situations in which the violation is a prerequisite to payment of a claim by the government agency.
The relators in Chesbrough operated a business that interpreted radiology tests performed by the defendant, Visiting Physicians Association ("VPA"), which billed the government for the tests. Relators claimed that VPA (a) billed Medicare and Medicaid for purportedly substandard radiology tests and for "nondiagnostic" or worthless tests, and (b) failed to preserve patients' confidentiality as required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"). The Sixth Circuit rejected relators' substandard testing allegations because they failed to allege that VPA was required to comply with what relators' claimed were objective, industry-wide standards for radiology tests as a prerequisite to payment. Nor did relators identify any Medicare or Medicaid regulation that mentioned the purported industry standards. The Sixth Circuit applied a similar analysis to the claim that VPA failed to preserve HIPAA's patient confidentiality protections. Finding no mention in the complaint of any statute or regulation that conditioned payment of a claim on compliance with HIPAA, the court dismissed the claim.
The Chesbrough decision places the Sixth Circuit in the same camp as other circuits in applying the prerequisite to payment requirement to define "falsity" and to limit implied false certification liability. Notably, the Sixth Circuit cited the Second Circuit's reasoning in Mikes that the FCA should not be interpreted "to enforce compliance with all medical regulations" that would require resolving issues such as levels of care that were not requirements for reimbursement. The Second Circuit found that
caution should be exercised not to read this theory expansively and out of context. . . .[T]he False Claims Act was not designed for use as a blunt instrument to enforce compliance with all medical regulations―but rather only those regulations that are a precondition to payment―and to construe the impliedly false certification theory in an expansive fashion would improperly broaden the Act's reach.
Mikes, 274 F.3d at 699. Consistent with Mikes, the Sixth Circuit applied the "prerequisite to payment" limitation on FCA liability in the context of defining the statutory requirement for a "false" or "fraudulent" claim―terms that are not defined in the statute―as opposed to assessing whether the false statements were "material" to a false claim. In addition, without specifically referencing the Fifth Circuit's decision in Steury, the Sixth Circuit's adoption of the prerequisite to payment requirement follows the holding in Steury that this requirement is fundamental to establishing "falsity" in implied false certification cases. See Steury, 625 F.3d at 269. See also FraudMail Alert No. 10-11-03; John T. Boese, The Past, Present, and Future of "Materiality" Under the False Claims Act, 3 ST. LOUIS U. J. OF HEALTH L. & POL'Y 291 (2010) (arguing that, after Congress eliminated the "prerequisite to payment" test for materiality in 2009, courts must necessarily impose such a requirement to limit abuse of the FCA).
The decision in Chesbrough is also noteworthy for other reasons. Increasingly, courts are using Rule 9(b) to engage in more thorough analyses of qui tam complaints, particularly in declined cases based on false certification allegations. See, e.g., Steury, 625 F.3d 262 (finding no indication that the government conditioned payment on a certification that Signature pumps complied with implied warranty); United States ex rel. Gross v. AIDS Research Alliance-Chicago, 415 F.3d 601 (7th Cir. 2005) (allegations failed to plead materiality of alleged false certifications); United States ex rel. Conner v. Salina Reg'l Health Ctr., 543 F.3d 1211 (10th Cir. 2008) (concluding that sweeping annual cost report certifications did not require "perfect compliance as an absolute condition to receiving Medicare payments for services rendered"). The Chesbrough decision follows that pattern by carefully parsing relators' allegations of "fraudulent scheme[s]" and "misrepresentation[s]" and assessing whether the underlying condition that is the object of the false certification is in fact a prerequisite for payment. By applying this requirement, courts are able to weed out false certification claims―at the motion to dismiss stage of litigation―that arise out of certain regulatory requirements. In addition, the Sixth Circuit's ruling that there was no FCA liability absent any statute or regulation conditioning the government's payment on compliance with HIPAA is the first circuit court confirmation that compliance with HIPAA's patient confidentiality provisions is not a condition of payment under the FCA.
As for relators' nondiagnostic testing allegations, the Sixth Circuit rejected them on more traditional grounds, finding that relators failed to identify any false claim that was actually submitted to the government. Applying United States ex rel. Bledsoe v. Community Health Sys., 501 F.3d 493, 510 (6th Cir. 2007), the court noted that simply pleading a scheme was insufficient; rather, the relator "must also identify a representative false claim that was actually submitted to the government." Chesbrough, at *6. Recognizing that other courts have relaxed this requirement in cases where the facts pled supported a strong inference that a false claim was submitted, the court observed that the Sixth Circuit in Bledsoe declined to speculate "as to the contours or existence of any such exception to the general rule that an allegation of an actual false claim is a necessary element of a FCA violation." Id. at *7 (quoting Bledsoe, 501 F.3d at 504 n.12). The court declined to relax Rule 9(b)'s requirements because the relators' personal knowledge was limited to the scheme and did not extend to the defendant's billing practices or contracts with the government. Chesbrough, at *8.

As fans, we love to see aggression inside the cage. It is the singular guarantor of what we pay to see: action.
But for fighters, aggression also goes hand-in-hand with risk.
It runs contrary to the basic combat sports principle of "hit and don't get hit." Few mixed martial artists have found a way to reliably mitigate the damage they take while attacking with reckless abandon.
With that said, compiling a list of fighters whose aggression is detrimental to their success was surprisingly difficult, since the majority of aggressive fighters are able to make the style work for them.
Additionally, the professionalisation of MMA means that the athletes have become much more circumspect in recent years.
Even in some of the names I have included, one might be able to highlight certain ambiguities and poke holes in my reasoning.
So feel free to offer your own suggestions in the comment section.
Without further delay, here is my rundown of the five fighters who suffer most due to their own aggression.

Microsoft DevRadio: (Part 1) Using Windows Azure to Build Back-End Services for Windows 8 AppsFeb 07, 2013 at 10:10AM
Thanks for the info.
I'd say that the choice of the payment model has to be figured out very early in the development because it greatly affects the overall cloud application architecture.
Even if one starts with free services and/or by paying (I assume you meant fixed) Azure costs on a monthly basis, scaling up (which is why Azure is the choice for the back-end) will inevitably push people towards shared or reserved instances and, essentially, pay-as-you-go costs.
By the time one realizes that the scaling up implies switching to a different payment/business model because the costs are, after all, per-usage and not fixed nor regular, it will be too costly (or even too late) to go back and try to retrofit into the application architecture a different payment model in order to offset those costs.
In fact, at the moment there does not seem to exist such a model which would match pay-as-you-go on the back-end side.
Speaking of which, I just started looking at the WP8's Wallet functionallity, specifically OnlinePaymentInstrument. Perhaps that can be used as a way to maintain some sort of a user account balance, which can increased with occasional payments (i.e. pay-as-you-go).
The trouble is, there is no equivalent functionality on Win8, but that's a problem for another day.

Easy to take, works very well better than most I've tried
Just started using it for antioxidant benefits. Can't says much about effectiveness as using it for short time. Pill form easy to deal with. Great value for money. Goes Well With:Everything
Since I started with Green Tea + CLA, I really feel the difference... much more energy during the day
Great product for great price! And quick delivery :) I love it!
I used this product to help make weight while boxing and the results where brilliant and tablets easy to swallow. would definitely recommend for anybody wanted to lose weight and burn fat
Only been on tablets for 1 week but can see changes already
Would really recommend these, after a week I could already see the difference a lot less bloating. I'm taking these along side my diet n my first week of taking the I lost 4 pounds!!Goes Well With:Water
Take one of these everyday along with other daily tablets. Would definitely recommend them as a way to get a big hit of green tea without having to drink lots of cups a day.
Not sure how effective these are but I feel that I am drinking more as a result so may indicate some thermogenic qualities. Too soon to tell but taken with a good training regime they may be worth using.Goes Well With:CLA
Have been taking daily in conjunction with MyProteins CLA and have lost 12 lb in 2 weeks with exercise and healthy diet, i dont think i would have lost as much without these supplementsGoes Well With:CLA
Good quality product cheap and fast delivery all around brilliant
Started using these once a day in conjunction with BCAA 1500 (4 a day) and CLA capsules (4 a day) and the results have been very impressive. My body fat has been dropping week on week, something that I usually find quite difficult. If your expecting the weight to drop just by taking a tablet you need your head shaking, these tablets just make the hard work pay off quicker they don't do it for you. Highly recommend. Goes Well With:CLA BCAA 1500
Started taking these recently. Easy to swallow. Starting to see benefits.
These capsules really do work, easy to take with no side effects! Completely tasteless and works well alongside all other health products. Great value for money too!Goes Well With:Any protein shake programme
Unsure of the impact of these but they look like they will taste gross but taste of nothing! The small caffeine does nothing but hopefully in 3/4 months it will have small but helpful impact on my fat loss Goes Well With:zma
Love this product so much got all my friends ordering too now Goes Well With:Water
Not a big fan of Green Tea so replacing it with this quick and easy capsule for ultimate goodness first thing in the mornings, for an active day ahead.
Would highly reccomend! These are absolutely fab!!!
I find these great as I can't drink green tea, no side effects or taste.
This is a must have for me. Have been using it for many months and seems that it helps with my energy levels and performance during cardio with L-carnitine.Goes Well With:L-Carnitine
Tablets are easy to swallow, unlike some others that are huge. I like that it's just one per day.nice and simple what more do you want.
Easy to take. Can definitely feel the caffeine in them. Will hopefully help me achieve my goalsGoes Well With:Fruit Juice
Love drinking green tea but theres no way I could drink the equivalent of one of these tablets so they are good to have. Hard to tell if they are doing anything but studies seem to suggest they are a good idea.Goes Well With:Cutting
Highly recommend, been taking these for weeks and making a big difference to the way I feel how much energy I have and just how healthy I feel, I do take other supplements aswell and drink at least 2 litres of water a day but these have definately helped the way I feel Goes Well With:Electrolyte tables Alpha men tablets
Bought this to help with my diet, I hate the taste of green tea so bought these for the effectiveness. I've only been using them about 12 days but can already notice the effect!! My abs are coming through again just in time for summer, the stubborn belly fat at the bottom is gradually shedding and the best bit: I usually get loads of water retention at my time of the month and I've barely got any this month!! My skin has improved as well and I feel less tired! The best supplement I've taken and 100% will be buying again when I run out! Goes Well With:A healthy diet and regular gym routine
I didn't know how much green tea could help you shred body fat. I had previously looked into weight loss teas but the fact that I had to boil water, mix tea bags and then drink scalding hot tea over 30 minutes was way too ineffective. then I saw the pill which is everything I wanted on the go. I find that I'm alert even without my first cup of starbucks even though it has become too much of a habit to drop. Yet I find that the mega green tea extract is cost effective because it has more value than ten cups of americano. Make SURE you take in the morning not evening. made that mistake yesterday and couldn't sleep..:)Goes Well With:water
These are great to get your daily green tea amount intake. I struggle to drink 2-4 cups a day due to shifts and busy lifestyle. I wake up eat my breakfast, swallow one of these done. There's approx 8-10 cups of green tea down my neck. As for the boost or fat loss I haven't noticed a massive difference yet.I've taken these for a week with a healthy balance diet. I have noticed difference in my skin seems a lot better. Goes Well With:Food and water
I take one tablet first thing in the morning and it gives me energy throughout the day. It helps me through 12hours shift at work plus more. Easy to swallow and there's no taste. I highly recommend this product as it works with your system to get rid of toxins and melt fat away.Goes Well With:Water and thermo tabs.
Good tablet's and a great price well worth every penny. Would recommend.
These pills are a good alternative to drinking green tea, I personally drink to aid weight loss and stave off appetite and drinking 8 cups of tea a day is not all to feasible. So I tried these out and its one of those things that I'm sure are working behind the scenes yet I couldn't quite give a definite yes to. On the upside they are tasteless and their shape allows for easy swallowing.Goes Well With:Water
I ordered these tablets after reading reviews about how good they were and they were not wrong......I take one tablet a day with meal 1 and they have definitely improved my belly fat. I follow a healthy clean eating nutrition plan along with a specific training plan for my goals and these tablets have just given me the extra boost for that stubborn fat on my belly that I really struggle to lose. Will definitely be ordering again!
Have just started taking this product. Easy to consume with no after taste. Not sure how long this takes to work but pairing it with a healthy diet and regular exercise so will hopefully some extra results soon! Goes Well With:Water
A good supplement as you only need 1 capsule a day,and it has the strength of approximately 8-9 cups of green tea. Works well with a clean diet.
Always feel healthy and seems to keep away the unwell germs from hitting me, been buying for about 4 years and wont stop. Helps me to keep belly fat away
This is a very useful product, I'm into my third week now and really feel it is helping. I feel like I'm loosing weight from my stomach. I'm working out hard as well but I'm sure this is helping. Would definitely buy this again.Goes Well With:Water
I used to have terrible energy, mainly because of my terrible sleep patterns. However if I take this in the morning, I will be perked up throughout the rest of the day, and my workout itself does feel better as well. I highly recommend this, especially as it is only one a day so you don't need to worry about missing a dose. Goes Well With:Anything, really. It's just a capsule.
Great for me as I don't like the taste of green tea but wanted all of the health benefits that are associated with it. Easy to swallow tablet and very good value for money. ...
Having used lower strength Green Tea extract supplements previously I was pleasantly surprised at how well this higher strength + Caffeine went down, taking it in the morning peps me up nicely and it is helping me strip the fat away Goes Well With:Your morning shake
Brilliant percentage of EGCG and Green tea powder per single capsules. Makes for easy customization for different diet and goalsGoes Well With:L-Carnitine Impact Whey
Received these as part of a bundle, having tried drinking different flavoured green tea, but hating the taste, I thought I would give these a go. I'm very active and eat healthily but my weight had plateaud after loosing 2 stone, havibg taking these for 3 weeks, the weight has started to come off again! I'm very pleased, they have most definately helped kick start my weight loss again. Will definately be ordering again.Goes Well With:CLA Active Woman Vitamins
Been taking this for about three weeks now. While no noticable weight loss, there has not been any weight gain either. So, They seem to work for me. I'll get more when my current supply runs low.Goes Well With:Proper diet and exercise
I absolutely love these, I take just one tablet a day which gets me sweating and burning twice as many calories as I usually do and I have only been taking these for a couple of weeks, however I took them all of last year but just hadn't got round to ordering some more when I ran out but I will definitely keep ordering more now. They also seem to give me the energy to go that little bit longer during my cardio. I definitely recommend!!! I cant really taste the tablet as I just drink it with water so there is no taste there.
Absolutely love these, been taking them for over four months now and they have contributed to my weight loss of over 30lbs. Taking just one tablet pre-workout gets me sweating and burning twice as many calories as I usually do. They also seem to give me the energy to go that little bit longer during my cardio HIIT or running sessions. Sometimes the after taste is a wee bit disgusting but I can live with that, given the benefits. Would recommend for anyone on a weight loss journey or even simply as a supplement.Goes Well With:Water. CLA if trying to lose fat.
I don't particularly enjoy drinking green tea so these are an excellent way of getting the benefits of gt without having to drink it.Goes Well With:water, any liquid.
I've always enjoyed a good cup of green tea and always try have a few cups a day to benefit from the ingredients. This makes it far simpler than having to remember to have your tea, one tablet and you sorted for the day.Goes Well With:Any liquid to swallow the tablet
Been using it for few months now. has definitely helped me with bloating. also helps me with constipation issues as this makes you run to the loo in the morning. no complains there as who doesn't want to feel lighter! no after tasteGoes Well With:water.
Fantastic product. Decent price. Easy to take. All in all very happy with purchase, would definitely recommend and buy it again.
Haven't been taking these long but I have already noticed a difference. Helping to suppress my appetite and feel much more energetic. It's a great boost to wake me up in the morning!
I wasn't 100% sure about taking these but I thought just go for it! I hate taste of drinking green tea so i wanted an alternative. Ive Been taking these for 3 weeks now and they really are fab. I'm no longer bloaty I feel good and its helped keep weight down. Had a back injury 2 weeks ago & couldn't exersize. I didn't put on any weight nor muscle tone loss. I also take CLA tablets the combination must work . Great for trimming tummy podge Goes Well With:CLA,
Started having one of these a day instead of the standard green tea tablets, along with a moderate diet these are the key to breaking down that extra layer of fat.Goes Well With:Breakfast

Kodiak - Granite
An exceptional granite with coloring in the mid-toned, brownish-black hues and an appealing visual texture that is not overpowering, yet still striking in the way it catches and reflects light.
Often compared to Antique Brown, this deep, dark granite with a pronounced mineral structure and a perfectly homogenous, medium- to large-grain pattern is more chip-resistant and maintains superior durability.

I recently convinced my sister to buy my beloved MacBook Core Duo, while I upgraded to the MacBook Core 2 Duo. Being lazy, I just swapped the hard drive from my old CD to the new C2D. I ran into two problems on my C2D:
- 1: The trackpad was recognized only as a mouse. I was unable to use all the life saving features like "two finger tapping means right click", and "hold one finger, use the other to scroll".
- 2: The function keys didn't work. (To manipulate screen brightness and audio volume.)
Seaching the net revealed no clues. Except a linux kernel patch. It turns out the CD uses the Geyser III trackpad, while C2D uses Geyser IV. I dived into this, for me, rather unknown Mach/OS X-territory (altho I consider myself a long time unix zealot), and located the file /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/
Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTrackpad.kext/Contents/Info.plist. My old hard drive, from CD, contained no information of Geyser IV. Stupidly trying to edit this manually, and reloading the kernel extention (using kextunload and kextload) was, of course, unsuccessfull. But, behold!, copying the AppleUSBTopCase.kext-directory from the new hard drive fixed everything. I am now happily scrolling using a new MacBook C2D using the original OS X installation from my old MacBook CD.

Early in the spring of 1913 the desirability of the study of pellagra from the viewpoint of heredity as a causative factor was brought to the attention of the Thompson-McFadden Pellagra Commission by Dr. Charles B. Davenport, Eugenics Record Office, Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y.
Under the joint patronage of the two offices fieldwork was begun in Spartanburg, June 1, 1913, and continued until Oct. 1, 1913. Through the winter the data collected were carefully reviewed, arranged in family groups and charted. It was found that in many instances more details were necessary, and the Thompson Pellagra Commission in 1914 decided that the results obtained were of sufficient merit to warrant another summer's work. Accordingly, fieldwork was begun May 1, 1914, and continued until Sept. 1, 1914. This year the association of pellagrins with antecedent cases was also carefully noted for comparison.
