No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger News and Notes
• This Week's Charger… The No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger team will race chassis PRS-802 during Saturday's Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway (CMS). This is a brand-new chassis to the No. 2 fleet.
• No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge in 2011... After 30 points-paying events, Keselowski and the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger team are ranked fourth in the 2011 Chase for the Championship standings. Keselowski is just 11 points behind leader Carl Edwards following a third-place finish in the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway last Sunday.
• Recent CMS Pole Winner… Keselowski picked up his second career NASCAR Cup Series pole position during qualifying for the Coca-Cola 600 at CMS on May 26 by recording a lap of 28.112 seconds, or 192.089 miles per hour, around the Concord, N.C. oval.
• Chasing Top-Five Finishes… Keselowski is one of two Chase drivers to record top-five finishes in three of the first four races of the 2011 playoff format.
• Triple Hops Brewed In N.C.… The featured tag line on the bumper of the "Blue Deuce" this weekend at Charlotte will be "Triple Hops Brewed in N.C. recognizing Miller Lite's local ties." MillerCoors operates a brewery in Eden, N.C. where multiple Miller Lite products are brewed and packaged.
• Deuces Wild… When Brad wins a race during the 2011 Chase for the Championship, two lucky fans will win their own "man cave," compliments of Miller Lite. The man cave gear includes a "kegerator," dart board, Miller Lite neon sign, basketball game and pub furniture. Visit MillerLite.com/Brad to enter.
• The Rest is History... Penske Racing made its first start in the annual 500-mile fall race at CMS on October 8, 1972 with Dave Marcis behind the wheel of the famous Penske Racing No. 2 car. In 91 combined starts, Penske Racing drivers have recorded one win, eight poles, 14 top-five and 31 top-10 finishes at the 1.5-mile Charlotte oval.
Brad Keselowski on this weekend's race at Charlotte Motor Speedway
"Charlotte is definitely a track that I am looking forward to going back to, especially now that the Miller Lite Dodge team is in the hunt for the championship. It was a place that I struggled to get a grip on during my early trips, but last year (crew chief) Paul (Wolfe) and I picked up a win in the Nationwide Series there and it seemed like a light went off for me. After winning the pole for the 600 in May, I felt we were one of the cars to beat. We put ourselves in position at the end of the race and just had nowhere to go when the 4 car ran out of gas. We just ran right into the back of him. That killed our chances for the win, but we know that we can run up front and lead laps there. I'm confident."
Brad Keselowski on his third top-five finish in four Chase races
"It takes consistency to win the championship and we have consistently had fast cars at every race in the Chase. We're executing very well as a group and as a team. The things that we can control, we're doing very well. Obviously we'd like to have Dover back because there are some 'wild-card' races coming up where you would like to have an ace-in-the-hole, like Talladega, Martinsville and Phoenix. Anything can happen at those tracks. But to have the consistency we've had to start the Chase has been great. We'll need to pick up a win or two before Homestead and I'm confident we can do that."
Crew chief Paul Wolfe on Charlotte Motor Speedway
"Charlotte is a race that we've had circled since the start of the Chase as a place where we think we can pick up a win. We had a strong run there in May. We feel like we have developed our Charlotte package even more and should have an even better Miller Lite Dodge on Saturday. We know that our cars can win at CMS and everyone here is expecting great things this weekend. We've made some great strides, aerodynamically, and our cars are as good as they have ever been for this package."

Suffolk, ss. Division of Administrative Law Appeals
Antonio Rizzo,
v. Docket No. CR-07-333
Revere Retirement Board,
Appearance for Appellant:
Deborah G. Kohl, Esq.
191 Bedford Street
Fall River, MA 02720
Appearance for Respondent:
Ira H. Zaleznik, Esq.
Lawson & Weitzen, LLP
88 Black Falcon Avenue
Boston, MA 02210-2414
Administrative Magistrate:
Maria A. Imparato, Esq.
The Revere Retirement Board shall grant accidental disability retirement benefits to the Petitioner because he has sustained his burden of proving that his permanently disabling left knee condition is the natural and proximate result of a personal injury sustained while in the performance of his duties.
Antonio Rizzo filed a timely appeal under G. L. c. 32, s. 16 (4) of the April 19, 2007 decision of the Revere Retirement Board to deny his application for accidental disability retirement benefits. (Exs. 1, 2)
I held a hearing on April 28, 2009 at the office of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals, 98 North Washington Street, Boston, MA.
I admitted documents into evidence. (Exs. 1 - 21) I marked the Petitioner's pre-hearing memorandum "A" for identification, and the Respondent's pre-hearing memorandum "B" for identification. There is one tape cassette of the hearing.
I took administrative notice of a prior decision issued in this matter on July 5, 2005 by Administrative Magistrate Joan Freiman Fink in the case of Antonio Rizzo v. Revere Retirement Board, docket number CR-04-130, in which she ordered remand to a new medical panel. The sufficiency of the new medical panel report is the subject of this appeal. The parties stipulated to the facts found in the Magistrate's decision.
1. Antonio Rizzo, d.o.b. 4/13/1946, worked for the City of Revere Department of Public Works as a Parks Maintenance Craftsman from September 1992 to June 15, 2001. (Ex. 3, Testimony.)
2. Mr. Rizzo's job required him to perform maintenance and care of recreation areas, athletic fields, parks and playgrounds. He performed journeyman level carpentry and masonry duties. He performed grounds maintenance including planting, seeding, raking and fertilizing. He graded, cut, watered and trimmed fields and park areas. He performed skilled mechanical repair of power mowers, tractors and other equipment. He constructed and repaired chain link fences, benches, grandstands, and playground apparatus. He painted, flooded skating areas, trimmed tress and bushes, set up and lined athletic fields, and operated motor equipment, including street sweepers and snowplows. (Ex. 5; Testimony)
3. Mr. Rizzo's job required lifting and bending on a daily basis. He was required to kneel when planting and weeding. He was required to walk 2 - 3 miles daily. (Ex. 5, p. 2)
4. Mr. Rizzo was able to perform his duties and did not have any problems with his knees prior to December 2000. (Testimony.)
5. On December 5, 2000, Mr. Rizzo was greasing and oiling the blades of a snowplow. He slipped in a puddle of oil and water and landed on both knees on the edge of the snow plow support. (Testimony; Ex. 3, p. 5; CR-04-130.)
6. In February 2001, Mr. Rizzo went to North Shore Suburban Hospital complaining of pain in both knees. He came under the care of Dr. Lynch, an orthopedic surgeon. (Testimony; Ex. 3, p. 10; CR-04-130.)
7. On June 6, 2001, Mr. Rizzo had arthroscopic partial meniscectomy and debridement of his right knee. He did not return to work and began to collect worker's compensation benefits. (Testimony; CR-04-130; Ex. 10, History & Physical, 1/15/02.)
8. In August 2001, Mr. Rizzo underwent arthroscopic debridement of his left knee. (Testimony; CR-04-130; Ex. 10, History & Physical.)
9. Mr. Rizzo then went through a course of conservative therapy for his left knee, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, Cortisone injections and the use of Synvisc. X-rays revealed almost complete loss of the medial joint compartment with large spurring. Mr. Rizzo participated in an exercise program, but he continued to have severe incapacitating pain requiring the use of narcotics. On January 15, 2002, Mr. Rizzo had a left total knee replacement at Melrose-Wakefield Hospital. (Testimony; Ex. 10, Discharge Summary; CR-04-130.)
10. Mr. Rizzo's admission diagnosis in January 2002 was "degenerative arthritis left knee aggravated by industrial injury of 12/5/00." (Ex. 10, History & Physical.)
11. Mr. Rizzo's left knee developed a staph infection. On October 10, 2002 the knee was opened and the prosthesis was removed. Mr. Rizzo underwent resection arthroplasty with an implantation of an articulating antibiotic spacer. Mr. Rizzo's left leg was casted pending revision surgery in January 2003. (Ex. 12, Knee evaluation form; Ex. 13, Operative Report.)
12. On October 12, 2002, Mr. Rizzo underwent a surgical procedure to place a tunneled right subclavian catheter to deliver long-term IV antibiotics to fight the staph infection. (Ex. 11, Operative Report.)
13. On January 30, 2003, William D. Shea, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon, performed re-implantation of the left total knee arthroplasty with removal of the antibiotic spacer. (Ex. 13, Operative Report; office note 1/30/03; CR-04-130.)
14. In February 2003, Mr. Rizzo continued to walk on crutches, bearing half of his weight on the left leg when standing. He was unable to drive a car. He began physical therapy. (Ex. 13, 2/11/03; Ex. 12, Notes.)
15. On February 24, 2003, Mr. Rizzo filed an application for accidental disability retirement benefits citing loss of function of his left knee and two total knee replacements in January 2002 and January 2003 as the result of falling onto his knees on December 5, 2000. (Ex. 3; CR-04-130.)
16. Dr. Shea filed a statement in support of the application answering all certificate questions in the affirmative. Dr. Shea offered a diagnosis of "status post painful failed infected total knee arthroplasty." Dr. Shea opined, "He presently continues to ambulate on two crutches. He is totally disabled from work. This condition is work related and permanent." (Ex. 4)
17. On March 29, 2006, a regional medical panel composed of John F. McConville, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon; James S. Hewson, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon; and Judy Fine-Edelstein, M.D., a neurologist, convened to examine Mr. Rizzo. (Ex. 6.)
18. The panel answered in the affirmative to all certificate questions. (Ex. 6.)
19. The panel reviewed medical records and a job description, took a history and performed a physical examination. The panel diagnosed advanced degenerative arthritis, multi-compartmental, left knee; status post failed arthroscopic medial meniscectomy and total joint replacement without patella resurfacing; revision total joint arthroplasty, left knee joint; hypertension; obesity; and atrial fibrillation. (Ex. 6.)
20. The panel noted that Mr. Rizzo was capable of ambulating, "but with considerable difficulty, still requiring the use of a cane or crutch." The panel noted that the "severe pain noted prior to his revision joint replacement has never completely resolved, but has improved considerably, now rated at 5/10." (Ex. 6.)
21. The panel noted that Mr. Rizzo's current symptoms include constant discomfort; an inability to walk without a crutch or cane; an inability to manage stairs; an ability to get in and out of only a large vehicle such as an SUV; an inability to use public transportation; and an inability to walk for a distance of greater than 50 yards before requiring rest. (Ex. 6.)
22. The panel noted that there were no prior problems involving the left knee requiring medical attention, "other than the work site incident of December 5, 2000." (Ex. 6.)
23. The panel concluded that Mr. Rizzo is unable to perform the essential duties of his job, that the disability is likely to be permanent, and that the disability might be the natural and proximate result of the personal injury claimed or hazard undergone on account of which retirement is claimed. (Ex. 6.)
24. By letter of June 6, 2006 from the Board to PERAC, the Board opined that the medical panel had failed to address the issue of whether Mr. Rizzo's work injury of December 5, 2000 aggravated his underlying osteoarthritis to the point of permanent disability. The Board requested that PERAC convene a third medical panel and ask the third panel to address the causation question, as well as two other questions: 1) If the knee replacement failed to cure his disability, did the knee replacement operation fail due to the overall physical condition and weight of the petitioner, as opposed to lack of success of the operation itself, and 2) Are the complication experienced by Mr. Rizzo the result of the procedures, or the result of the injury sustained by him in December 2000. If the complications resulted from the failure of the procedures, were the medical procedures required to be performed as a result of the accident of December 2000. (Ex. 15.)
25. By letter of July 31, 2006, PERAC denied the Board's request for a third medical panel. PERAC offered to forward to the medical panel any questions that the Board wanted submitted to the panel for clarification of their findings. (Ex. 16.)
26. By letter of August 28, 2006, Dr. Shea responded to the questions posed by the Board in its letter of June 6, 2006. Dr. Shea opined that Mr. Rizzo is permanently and totally disabled secondary to an injury sustained on December 5, 2000 in which he tore his medial meniscus which required orthopedic treatment including surgery. He required a total knee replacement, which was a direct result of the initial injury. His diagnosis at the time of surgery was traumatic arthritis of the left knee. (Ex. 19.)
27. Dr. Shea further opined that the second knee replacement procedure "was the direct result of the complications of the first surgery. The infection is one of the potential risks of such a procedure. The necessity of this surgery is the direct result of the original injury of 2000." (Ex. 19.)
28. By letter of September 28, 2006, PERAC denied the Board's second request that a new medical panel be convened to examine Mr. Rizzo. PERAC offered again to assist the Board in obtaining clarification from the medical panel. (Ex. 17.)
29. By letter of October 11, 2006, the Board requested that the panel answer a series of questions, among them: 1) whether the injury aggravated Mr. Rizzo's underlying osteoarthritic condition to the point of permanent disability; 2) if the second knee replacement failed to cure Mr. Rizzo's disability, did the knee replacement fail due to the overall physical condition and weight of the petitioner, as opposed to the lack of success of the operation itself; and 3) whether the complications experienced by Mr. Rizzo were the result of the procedures themselves, or the result of the injury sustained in December 2000. (Ex. 7.)
30. By addendum dated November 10, 2006, the medical panel responded to the Board's questions as follows: 1) the medical impact of a fall upon an already diseased joint is one of increasing damage to the involved joint, depending on the extent of the trauma sustained; 2) Mr. Rizzo did aggravate his underlying osteoarthritic condition, "but this superimposed injury did not in itself 'turn it into a permanent disability;'" 3) the vast majority of all surgical procedures are "elective" and only those instances of impending loss of limb or loss of life fall into the category of "necessary" surgery; 4) advancing age with chronic repetitive use of a joint may be expected to impact unfavorably upon the arthritic condition; 5) the complications of a postoperative deep infection after any major joint replacement surgery is related to the operation itself and not necessarily to the overall physical condition and weight of the patient; 6) obese candidates are less likely than those of normal body habitus to obtain a successful result in joint replacement arthroplasty; 7) the complications experienced by Mr. Rizzo appear to be the result of the procedures themselves, but also in part are attributable to the injury sustained in December 2000; 8) there is no precise method to pinpoint, in terms of percentage of damage, the medical impact of Mr. Rizzo's fall; 9) the medical procedures required were a result of the claimed accident of December 2000. (Ex. 8.)
31. By letter of January 31, 2007, the Board wrote to PERAC again requesting a new medical panel because "the clarification did not address the questions and concerns raised with respect to the first report." (Ex. 20)
32. By letter of March 27, 2007, PERAC denied the Board's request. "PERAC finds that the board should have enough information from the medical panel physicians to make a determination on this application and no reason to grant a new panel at this time." (Ex. 21.)
33. On April 19, 2007, the Board denied Mr. Rizzo's application because he "failed to establish that the permanency of his disability resulted from the claimed injury of December 5, 2000, and did not sustain his burden of proof that his disability was the natural and proximate result of the claimed injury of December 5, 2000. Applicant has a degenerative condition and other factors which appear to have caused his disability." (Ex. 1.) Mr. Rizzo appealed. (Ex. 2.)
The decision of the Revere Retirement Board is reversed. The Board shall award accidental disability retirement benefits to Antonio Rizzo.
In order to qualify for an award of accidental disability retirement benefits the Petitioner must demonstrate that he is totally and permanently incapacitated for further duty by reason of a personal injury sustained or hazard undergone, as a result of, and while in the performance of his duties at some definite place and at some definite time under G. L. c. 32, s. 7(1).
The Board's denial of this application rests on its opinion that the Petitioner has not met his burden of proof with respect to causation.
The Petitioner bears the burden of proof to establish a causal nexus between a personal injury and his disability. Campbell v. CRAB, 17 Mass. App. Ct. 1018, 460 N.E.2d 213 (1984).
In order to meet his burden the Petitioner must prove one of two hypotheses: that his disability was caused by a single or series of work-related events, or that his employment exposed him to an "identifiable condition … that is not common and necessary to all or a great many occupations" that resulted in disability through gradual deterioration. Blanchette v. CRAB, 20 Mass. App. Ct. 479, 481 N.E.2d 216, 220 (1985).
Aggravation of a pre-existing condition to the point of permanent disability satisfies the natural and proximate requirement. Baruffaldi v. CRAB, 337 Mass. 495, 150 N.E.2d 269, 270 (1958).
The Petitioner advances the first hypothesis in Blanchette: that the injury of December 5, 2000 aggravated his asymptomatic degenerative arthritis of the left knee to symptomatic arthritis that required a partial meniscectomy, then a total knee replacement that became infected, then another total knee replacement that has left the Petitioner unable to perform the essential duties of his job.
The medical panel's certification that the disability might be the natural and proximate result of a personal injury sustained while in the performance of one's duties is not conclusive, but is only some evidence to be considered. Wakefield Retirement Board v. CRAB, 352 Mass. 499, 226 N.E.2d 245 (1967); Mathewson v. CRAB, 335 Mass. 610, 141 N.E.2d 522 (1957.).
The final determination on causation is for the Contributory Retirement Appeal Board (CRAB), "based on the facts found and all the underlying evidence, including both the medical and non-medical facts." Blanchette, 481 N.E.2d at 219.
The record of medical and non-medical facts supports the panel's conclusion that the Petitioner's permanently disabling left knee condition is the proximate result of falling onto his knees on December 5, 2000. Prior to this event, the Petitioner had asymptomatic degenerative arthritis of the knees. After this event, the Petitioner's degenerative arthritis became symptomatic and ultimately disabling.
The Petitioner required a partial meniscectomy of the left knee after the fall in December 2000. After the meniscectomy he underwent a course of conservative care without relief from his severe incapacitating pain. As a result, the Petitioner had a total knee replacement in January 2002. The knee became infected, and the Petitioner had to undergo treatment for the staph infection, and then another total left knee replacement in January 2003. I conclude, therefore, that the injury of December 2000 began an unbroken chain of causation from asymptomatic degenerative arthritis to a torn left meniscus to total left knee replacement to a staph infection to a second total knee replacement to total and permanent disability. The injury of December 5, 2000 is therefore the proximate cause of the Petitioner's permanent disability.
Proximate cause is "that which in a continuous sequence, unbroken by any new cause, produces an event and without which the event would not have occurred." Wallace v. Ludwig, 292 Mass. 251, 198 N.E.159, 161 (1935.)
This is a "but for" standard. But for falling on December 5, 2000, the Petitioner's asymptomatic degenerative arthritis would not have become symptomatic, requiring a partial medial meniscectomy. He would not have required a total knee replacement, which developed an infection, which required a second knee replacement leaving the Petitioner permanently unable to perform the essential duties of is job.
The Petitioner has met the requirements for an award of accidental disability retirement benefits. The Board shall grant accidental disability retirement benefits to Antonio Rizzo.

With its rich Renaissance history and air of timeless romance, Florence is one of the most alluring travel destinations in Europe. The birthplace of Botticelli and Donatello is still home to several of their most celebrated creations, while the winding Florentine streets remain largely unchanged since their time. Florence's gastronomy is world-renowned, encapsulating the very best Italian cuisine. Just outside the city limits, vineyards and ancient monasteries are tucked away in the surrounding hills, awaiting travellers fortunate enough to stumble upon them.
Capital of Tuscany, cradle of the Renaissance, City of Lilies; each of Florence's nicknames is more evocative than the last. The historic seat of the powerful de Medici family, signs of their Mediaeval dominance can be found around the city.
On the north side of the river lies the magnificent 14th-century Palazzo Davanzati, the interior of which provides a meticulous reconstruction of Mediaeval life in Florence for an affluent merchant family. Stroll through the courtyard into the inner chambers to admire well-preserved frescoes, sculptures and artefacts that span the centuries of the building's existence.
Florence's central cathedral is the magnificent Santa Maria del Fiore. Capped by Brunelleschi's Dome, which offers unmatchable views over the Romanesque rooftops of the city, the ancient building has an enchanting history of its own. Its green-and-white marble walls have witnessed events including the 1478 murder of Guilano de Medici, part of the dramatic Pazzi Conspiracy, a failed attempt at redressing the balance of power in the city.
To learn more about the Medicis, visit the imposing Palazzo Pitti. Bought by the family in 1549, it has also hosted both Napoleon and King Victor Emmanuel II. The rooms are stunningly ornate, but even they are outdone by the entrancing Boboli Gardens.
For fine local produce, visit the bustling Mercato Centrale in the historic San Lorenzo quarter. The area was once at the artisanal heart of the city, and the new market is a key part of its creative revival. Housed in an impressive 19th-century building designed by Guiseppe Mengoni, the market maintains a strong focus on local gastronomy and Florence's arts-and-crafts heritage. Visitors can sample pasta, buffalo mozzarella, salamis, seafood and pastries, or enjoy freshly made dishes at the on-site restaurants.
Art and culture
The Uffizi Gallery provides the best possible evidence of the city's huge impact on art as we know it. The collection housed in the world-famous gallery dates back to the 12th century, with a natural focus on the vibrant creations of the Renaissance. Combining exceptional quality with staggeringly vast quantity, you'll gaze upon works by Michelangelo, Botticelli, Giotto, Leonardo Da Vinci and Rafaello as you stroll through the endless corridors.
Florence's artistic heritage is widely known, but its contributions to the field of science are equally profound. Visit the Museo Galileo to learn about scientific discoveries that changed the course of the world and, of course, the groundbreaking work of Galileo himself. Housed in the ancient Palazzo Castellani, the collections and didactic displays create an atmosphere of curiosity and exploration.

He walks more slowly these days, but the twinkle in his eye and his easy smile reveal a profound appreciation for life.
For 70-year-old Ken Worden, the appreciation grew from a quarter-century of difficult but treatable heart problems -- an aortic valve replacement in 1986, an aortic aneurysm in 1990 and a pacemaker implanted in 2006. All took place at Sanford Heart Center in Fargo.
The next chapter arrived in 2012. Last June, Ken and his wife, Sharon, learned from a Sanford cardiologist that his pacemaker would need replacement due to a manufacturer's recall. Many couples would react with alarm -- even fear, but not the Wordens.
"We'd been through so much over the years that we just took it in stride. The people at Sanford have taught us to do," says Sharon. "We also had such confidence in the Sanford heart specialists. They'd gotten us through a lot, and we knew they'd get us through this, too."
The "how" was what surprised them. Introducing laser lead extraction!
Thousands of heart patients know the lifesaving benefits of heart devices such as pacemakers and ICDs (implantable cardioverter-defibrillators). But they also know that in rare instances these devices may need replacement due to an infection or a manufacturer's recall.
In device removal, the biggest challenge can be the leads -- the thin, flexible wires inserted into the heart and connected to the device. Leads that have been in place for six or fewer months are relatively easy to remove. But leads that have been in place for years are difficult due to strong adherence to the heart and blood vessel walls, including scar tissue.
Says Dr. Christopher Pierce, fellowship-trained Sanford cardiac electrophysiologist: "Laser lead extraction is an impressive solution to a difficult problem. It allows precise, specific removal of these leads in addition to all the benefits of the minimally invasive approach -- shorter hospital stay, easier recovery and quicker return to everyday life."
Sanford is one of a small number of heart centers in the country to offer this leading-edge procedure.
Ken underwent laser lead extraction on June 22.
"I was ready to get this problem resolved and move on," says Ken. "No fears."
Dr. Pierce and his surgical team had confidence, too. Expertly trained and well-equipped, they had everything in place to ensure a successful outcome.
Sharon saw the success almost immediately.
"When I went up to the ICU to see him that night I was amazed," she says. "I expected he'd be sleeping, but he was wide awake, talking and feeling good with his brand new pacemaker. Even his color was better than it had been for months."
The next morning they went home.
"I couldn't believe it! Heart surgery one day and home the next," says Sharon. "I was a little nervous, but everything went just fine in his recovery."
For Ken, a key question was when he could resume driving. A 10-year volunteer with Lutheran Social Services, Ken travels the county four days a week, visiting seniors and delivering meals.
Two weeks after his surgery he was back on the road.
When it comes to care of the heart, Ken and Sharon put their trust in Sanford.
"They've been exceptional from the very start -- caring, attentive and very professional," says Sharon. "That's the kind of team you want treating you. That's why we'd never go anywhere else."
But there's another blessing that ranks even higher.
"Our family is everything," says Ken, nodding to the many photos in the living room in their Battle Lake, Minn., home.
"Faith, too," adds Sharon. "In every difficulty, faith has carried us through."
Married 44 years, Ken and Sharon relax in lawn chairs on the shores of crystal-clear Battle Lake. Water sparkling and a gentle breeze blowing, Sharon reaches over and takes his hand.
Hearts together have a power all their own.

|laziness, impatience, and hubris
For thought: "Perl in the greater context of (me and) the software businessby sundialsvc4 (Abbot)
|on Mar 19, 2013 at 20:59 UTC ( #1024386=perlmeditation: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
In polite response to the recent spat of posts here, I would like to offer a perspective ... my perspective, but also a perspective of thirty-plus years ... on "Perl and the software business."
First of all ... "my business," for many years now, "is not 'Perl.'" Or perhaps ... it's certainly not just Perl. I will hazard to suggest that this is undoubtedly true of most, if not all, of the "old hands" here. We have clients (or employers), who not only depend on us to work our magic, but who entrust their deepest businesses with us. Perl is just part of that magic.
My actual job, at this point, is actually that of a software engineer. "You, mister customer," are "somewhere," and you have concluded (at this point, rightly or wrongly) that "you are not in the place where you today wish to be." And my job is to figure out (a) how to stabilize "where you are now" (if you are in imminent danger of plunging into some abyss), and (b) to plot a course .. and a project plan, and a budget, etc. .. to wherever it is I recommend that you should now go.
Along the way, I will as-needed engage the über-specialists (if any) that may be required to get you there. I will, unbeknownst to you, arrange with each and every one of them to do their respective specialist part. Nothing special here: general-contractors hire subcontractors all the time.
It is actually typical that any project will involve multiple language systems, even on the server side. All of them, each in their own quirky way, has their own way to get you "there." You, the client, got "there" by some pathway that today we cannot change. My job is only secondarily to consider where "there" is. My primary job is to discern where "there" should be. From this, the language-specific voodoo consists of a fairly sensible number of good choices. There are many languages to choose from, but also strong incentives to "dance with the one that brung 'ya."
And I honestly believe that, in saying all of these things, I probably speak for most of the "old hands" here, as well as many others. If the choices that we had to make were simple, bright-line choices ... why would anyone seek us out? (Hint: they wait in line.)
So, perhaps this will at least help to explain why I look at "this language vs. that one" arguments with a very puzzled eye. Software systems are built using languages, and, having been thus constructed, never depart from them; nor should they. Code that provably works is, indeed, a priceless thing. Most systems involve multiple languages as well as considerable history ... and yet, they provably work (okay, okay, "more or less").
That is, at least IMHO, the computer software business. Perl, like all the others, is merely a means to an end ... a tool ... and a worthy tool it is. (Perl does not stand alone, but it does stand proud.) If you regard Perl, or any other language, "as an end unto itself" in this business, I submit that you are ... and I do not mean this "personally" ... missing the point, entirely. So much that I once again regard you, "with a very puzzled eye." Perl is not the point. My clients, and what they wish to accomplish, are. Perl, along with all the others, is merely how I/we get there. The client does not care: the client pays us so that they don't have to care.i

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A former Arkansas state treasurer has been charged with extortion and other crimes after allegedly accepting more than $36,000 cash from a bond broker to whom she steered state investments, according to a grand jury indictment filed Wednesday.
The indictment came less than a week after a judge rejected Martha Shoffner's attempt to plead guilty to accepting the money. She is charged with six extortion counts, one attempted extortion count and seven bribe-related charges.
Shoffner was arrested at her Newport home May 18 after the FBI said it caught her on tape accepting a $6,000 payment from the broker, who hasn't been identified.
Shoffner, 68, initially faced charges of attempt and conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official right under the Hobbs Act, a federal law often used to prosecute public officials for accepting bribes. Those charges carry maximum penalties of 20 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine.
She was set to plead guilty Friday to a similar charge until she told U.S. District Judge Leon Holmes the payments didn't affect her decisions as treasurer and that she didn't intentionally steer business to the broker. Holmes rejected the plea since she wasn't admitting guilt to all of the charges.
An FBI affidavit filed last month in federal court alleges that the broker — unidentified in court documents — would roll up cash in $6,000 increments and have it delivered to Shoffner's office every six months. At least two of the payments were delivered in a pie box with a pie. The broker "recognized his/her bond business with the state grew because of the payments," the affidavit said.
The payments were made after Shoffner asked the broker for $1,000 a month to pay her rent in Little Rock, according to the affidavit. The document said the broker was granted immunity in exchange for his or her cooperation.
Legislative auditors last year questioned Shoffner's selling of bonds before they matured, a practice that they said cost the state more than $434,000 worth of earnings.
Shoffner was arrested at her home in Newport after the broker agreed to record the meeting and bring $6,000 in a pie box, according to the affidavit. FBI agents executed a search warrant and found the cash inside a cigarette package in Shoffner's kitchen. Shoffner admitted that she accepted the payments from the broker, the FBI said in its affidavit.
Shoffner, a Democrat, was first elected treasurer in 2006 and won a second term in 2010. Facing pressure from fellow Democrats as well as Republicans who threatened impeachment proceedings if she didn't resign, Shoffner stepped down last month.
Gov. Mike Beebe last week appointed former Legislative Auditor Charles Robinson to serve the remainder of Shoffner's term, which ends in January 2015. Robinson is barred from running for the post next year since he was appointed to it.

As many folks already know the BlackBerry PlayBook is headed to Sprint and adopting their WiMax 4G services. What many folks never noticed was an obscure Verizon website had been put up advertising an early access program for Verizon users. The problem with the site is that it's never really been fully verified by Verizon, at least not yet anyway. Kevin noticed this site had gone up back on January 28th but still no official word was passed around. One could easily assume that if Sprint is getting a 4G version then Verizon is bound to as well at some point, despite using different 4G services as an all out LTE version has already been rumored. Or it could be that Verizon is going to sell the Wi-Fi only version for now too (an upsell to corporate BlackBerry Smartphone customers?). But you know what happens when people start to assume things. In any event, we sure do wish we had a code at the time when they were offering the early access.

Bone problems and dental work..
I have severe bone problems and would like to take one of the medications that might help...Actonel, Fosamax. I do have serious dental work that needs to be done. Will taking either one of these drugs create a problem when I have dental work done?
You present lots of variables here that would need clarification such as the nature of your bone disease and the dosing of the medications you mentioned. But either of them CAN create problems if you need significant dental work, especially work that involves surgical procedures with the jawbones.
The best information we currently have would suggest that any needed surgeries (including tooth extraction) should be completed as soon as possible. Most ideally, all surgeries should be completed before you start the Actonel or Fosamax. But if your physician thinks you need to start these drugs immediately, extractions or other surgeries can still be performed safely. Since jaw problems (occasionally called osteonecrosis of the jaws or ONJ) appear to be directly related to the total time and total dose that you use these medicines, the sooner any needed surgery is performed after you begin taking these drugs, the lower the risk of ONJ.
Most experts agree that the risk for ONJ is extremely low with the oral medicines, especially for patients who have taken them for less than 2-3 years. Since every case is unique, I would recommend that you seek a consultation with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to discuss your dental needs in person.
Good luck!

Google Summer of Code 2008
The plan
- Reimplement XPath
- Add some kind of pre-rendering of parts that don't use variables
- Try compiling templates to Python bytecode
- Try adding some minor optimizations
What has been done
XPath reimplementation
Current XPath implementation in Genshi is rather buggy (for example http://genshi.edgewall.org/ticket/185). I've rewritten it. Implemented algorithm works in O(qn) time, where q is length of XPath expression, n is number of stream events and O(qh) memory complexity, where h is height of document XML tree. It computes for every node which places of XPath expression does it match. O(qn) is pessimistic complexity, I think algorithm will work like O(n) in most cases (the worst case is when nearly every node matches to nearly every place of expression, which is quite rare).
Added also other implementations for simpler paths called strategies. Performance of new implementation in comparision with previous one can be checked here.
Simple pre-rendering
py:optimize directive was introduced. It marks subtree of this tag as optimizable - which means that rendering code inside can be omited and instead replaced by inserting cached one. In particular it cannot have any Python code that has side effects and cannot depend on variables.
Fragment of stream will be replaced by one event saying it represents this code. It will not be unpacked untill it is needed. Following cases "need" unpacking of fragment:
- matching tag inside optimized fragment; it also applies to first tag in
fragment so instead of
<py:match path="foo"> <bar> ${select('.')} </bar> </py:match> <foo py:optimize="">
Some text inside with tags which processing could be costful, but could be avoided by caching.

Next paragraph.
 </foo>
one should use
<py:match path="foo"> <bar> ${select('.')} </bar> </py:match> <foo> <py:optimize vars="">
Some text inside with tags which processing could be costful, but could be avoided by caching.

Next paragraph.
 </py:optimize> </foo>
- using Transformer filter; yeah it's really cool, but too cool to be cached - it is able to do nearly anything to the stream
- using form HTMLFormFiller; but here it's better than in Transformer case, because if filter sees there were no forms in fragment it returns just one event for fragment - does not return unpacked version
Using filters:
- When filtering stream with filters defined in genshi.output filter object you have to use the same filter object (don't construct it every time), if you don't optimization engine won't treat result fragment as the same as generated with other filter object
- HTMLFormFiller can be different object
Currently working at:
Alternative way of code compiling
Instead of using module to compile Abstract Syntax Trees to bytecode translate it to new Python code, and then compile it. This will allow using Python compiler optimizations and will make Genshi work at Google AppEngine.
Template pre-processing
- make py:optimize take argument -- expression that calculates some "digest" of context variables which this fragment depends on; it can be any hashable python object with assumption, that if results are the same, then the
rendered fragments will be the same

 <py:choice ="var%3">
It is divisible by three!

It's remainder when dividing by three is ${spell(var%3)}.
 </py:choice>
It is odd.

It is even.

A blog reader wrote to me the other day and asked what she could tell a member of her community who claimed he was not bound by the association's governing documents because he had never read them.
I introduced my reader to the concept of constructive notice; just because an association member has never actually read the documents does not mean he or she does not have constructive notice of the terms and provisions of those documents if they were properly recorded in the Official Records of the county where the association property is located. The concept of constructive notice imputes knowledge to a person even though actual notice was not personally delivered to him or her.
In the case of a mandatory association's governing documents, those documents must be recorded in the Official Records to be effective these days and purchase contracts include riders referencing them while title insurance policies similarly list them. Moreover, in a condominium purchase, the underlying covenants are identified by Official Records Book and Page number right on the deed. With all this notice that recorded restrictions exist, there is simply no wiggle room for an association member to legitimately claim a lack of knowledge of their existence. Since association members are already seen as having constructive notice of the governing documents, it is in their best interests to obtain actual knowledge by reading them both before and after purchase.
Another legal concept that creates some confusion in an association setting is the issue of who can legally bind the association? The term apparent authority is used when a reasonable person would understand that an agent had the authority to act on behalf of a principal. In a troubled community association, a question that often arises is, "how could our President have gotten us into such an awful contract?" A landscaper, roofer and any other vendor who is doing business with an association, can reasonably expect that an officer or director of that association has the authority to enter into contracts. It is only when such contractor is put on notice that he or she must obtain actual authority (ie a Board Resolution to enter into the contract) that apparent authority can no longer be relied upon to ensure that the contract remains intact.
Both of these legal concepts rely on passivity: constructive notice imputes knowledge while apparent authority imputes authority. In order to avoid the problems that can accompany both of these concepts, association members would be well advised to actually read the documents that govern their association and boards would be well advised to establish protocol to avoid detrimental, unilateral action by any one board member hiding under the cloak of apparent authority.

Endowed Funds
The Board of Trustees has established minimum support levels to guarantee the income will be adequate to achieve the benefactor's intent. Although gifts of any size may be added to an existing fund, the minimum thresholds listed are required to create and name a new fund.
For more information about giving to an existing endowment or creating an endowed fund, contact the Office of Gift Planning at email@example.com or 1-800-331-4943.
Endowed Chairs/Professorships: $2 million
Quality faculty form the backbone of Beloit, and receiving a named endowed professorship is a mark of teaching excellence. A named endowment of $2 million or more will yield support for a professor's salary and benefits, and provide additional funds for scholarship research and professional development. A full roster of prestigious endowed chairs will not only honor our most distinguished senior faculty, it will also enable the college to attract and retain the best young scholars and teachers in the future.
Endowed Funds: $25,000
Whether it be scholarship, programmatic support, or fellowship creation, endowed funds require a minimum gift of $25,000 to enable opportunities. Endowed funds can be in support of an academic department or program such as a lecture series or student internships. Donors may also establish or add to named funds that support athletics, entrepreneurship, the museums, international education, and campus maintenance.
About Endowed Funds
An endowment is comprised of hundreds of funds established by donors. The distributions from these funds keep Beloit moving forward, acting as a source of financial stability in times of unfavorable economic change and ensuring great programs that promote discovery, intellectual curiosity, and social responsibility can continue. Your gift will be permanently invested to provide an annual return for Beloit, whether it's through a general gift, a named scholarship fund, an endowed program fund, or funding for or creation of an endowed chair.
Your gift will be invested wisely with the goal of preserving or increasing your gift's purchasing power. The endowment is managed by the investment committee of the Board of Trustees who is responsible for determining the investment objectives and policies. The college also utilizes the services of an investment consultant/custodian. The allocation of investment income from the endowment is used to support the operations of the college. The current spending rate for restricted endowments is 4.5%, which is based on a three-year rolling average. An additional allocation is made from investment income to fund development activities at the college.
Who decides how endowment money is spent? In general, the donor decides by choosing from the following options:
- Direct gift to the general endowment – the Board of Trustees decides how income from this general pool will be spent.
- Add to an existing fund – these gifts are subject to the restrictions already established by the original donor.
- Create a new fund – by working with the college, the income designation is determined by what best fits program needs and the donor's interests. You can also name a fund in your name or an individual for whom you wish to honor.

ANNOUNCING: Bulletin author wins coveted award
The Department of Scientific Publications is pleased to announce that Lee Herman is to be awarded the Westwood Medal, one of the highest achievements in the field of insect systematics. The medal, awarded jointly by the Royal Entomological Society and the Natural History Museum, London, recognizes "excellence in insect taxonomy." It is given every other year for a work of outstanding quality and scope.
In this case, it is for Lee's 2013 monograph, "Revision of the New World Species of Oedichirus (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae)," published as issue 375 of Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History. Lee's monograph has been described as "a model of exploratory morphology." Just as Lee was the first to use a scanning electron microscope at the AMNH back in the early 1970's (focusing then as now on beetle bits), for this monograph he used the museum's confocal microscope to obtain superb images of delicate structures that are faint even under SEM.
The previous Westwood Medal was awarded to Jim Miller for his dioptine moth monograph, also a Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History (no. 315), published in two volumes.
The Department of Scientific Publications is pleased to announce that beginning with the calendar year 2011, our NOVITATES series is available for free download in epub format (ideal for viewing on an iPad using the iBooks app).

TORONTO (AP) — Joe Oliver has been sworn in as Canada's new finance minister, a day after Jim Flaherty resigned after eight years on the job.
Oliver had served as Natural Resources Minister and had been Canada's point man on the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which the Canadian government is urging the Obama administration to approve. He has an MBA from Harvard and worked as an investment banker with Merrill Lynch. He has also served as the executive director of the Ontario Securities Commission.
Harper made the announcement on Twitter Wednesday. He may prefer Oliver, 73, because he is not a considered a potential candidate to one day replace the prime minister, unlike some other Cabinet ministers.
Flaherty, who had the job since 2006, has been a fixture on world financial stage. He said he is returning to the private sector. He was the longest-serving finance minister among the Group of Seven leading industrial economies. The 64-year-old battled a rare skin disease over the last year, but he said his decision to leave politics is not related.
Flaherty has been Prime Minister Stephen Harper's only finance minister since Harper took power eight years ago. Harper's Conservative government plans on entering an election next year with a budget surplus. Flaherty has said his goal was always to get Canada back on track to a balanced budget after pumping stimulus money into the economy following the 2008 financial crisis.
Harper said he had accepted Flaherty's decision "with great reluctance." Flaherty is the third-longest serving finance minister in the country's history.
Junior minister Greg Rickford succeeds Oliver at Natural Resources.

this morning I was reading my greek-latin nt and noticed something interesting. where greek uses two different prepositions, eis and en, latin uses only one, in. So in 1 Peter 1:2 we have:
[face=SPIonic]en agiasmw pneumatoj, eij upakohn kai rantismon aimatoj ihsou xristou[/face]
in sanctificationem Spiritus, in obedientiam, et aspersionem sanguinis Iesu Christi
with "in" functioning in place of both "en" and "eis". This causes me some distress because I know the semantic difference between en and eis and am therefore able to better translate the passage. But if I came upon the latin first and simply had "in .... in" it would be much harder to make that distinction. So my question is are there other clues as to the meaning of phrases like these, or are we dependent solely on interpretive context???

Record Fish Factoids
The heaviest Indiana record fish is a 104 lb. Ohio River blue catfish caught by Bruce Midkiff in 1991.
The lightest Indiana record fish is a 3.5-ounce flier. Fliers are tiny sunfish found in a few southern Indiana rivers and swamps. Flier record holder Harold Otte of Greenwood boasts, "It's not the biggest, but it's the smallest."
The wiper record is Indiana's most often broken record. The record has been broken more than 20 times since Jamey Spinks of Shelbyville set the first record in 1985 with a 3.25-pound Monroe Lake fish.
Tom Berg of Dyer, Ind. holds the record for most appearances in the state's record fish program. Berg has twelve Fish-of-the-Year awards since 1994. Tom's brother, Mike Berg, can strut proudly about his boat knowing he holds the lightest official world record - a one-pound grass pickerel plucked from Dewart Lake in Kosciusko County.
A steelhead trout state record once stood for only 45 minutes. On June 11, 1981, Morton Kaplan of Michigan City ran into the DNR Lake Michigan office with a steelie weighing nearly 21 pounds, which beat the previous record set nine years before by 3 ounces. Kaplan then sprinted off to the Michigan City newspaper for photos. A few minutes later, Michigan City angler Henry May strolled in with a 22-pound steelie.
Indiana's 2-pound, 15-ounce yellow bass record, caught from Morse Reservoir near Cicero, still stands as a world record.
Garland Fellers from Loogootee has Indiana's longest held record. Garland entered a 30-pound White River freshwater drum during the program's first year in 1963.

Drought, Extreme Temperatures May do Damage to Wheat in High Plains
Source: Texas A&M University Press Release. aglifesciences.tamu.edu
College Station, Texas (January 13, 2014)--Timely rains across much of the state have the wheat crop looking much better than last year at this time, but for some areas, drought and cold temperatures may have combined to do some damage, according to a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service specialist.
Dr. Clark Neely, AgriLife Extension small grains specialist in College Station, said substantial rains came during the fall, starting in September, for much of the state. In fact, wet conditions kept some acres from being planted in the Blacklands – something not seen in recent history.
Soils have been fully recharged for most of East Texas and enough moisture has fallen to give consistent stands west to San Angelo and north to Abilene and Vernon, Neely said.
"Unfortunately, the High Plains received little of these beneficial rains and wheat producers struggled to get their crop up and out of the ground this fall," he said.
"Drought-stressed wheat also had to endure frigid temperatures during the past month, which have some concerned about the possibility of winterkill on small wheat."
Single-digit temperatures were common throughout the Panhandle; however, cool weather prior to recent cold snaps helped wheat plants acclimate and become less susceptible to extreme cold, Neely said.
"Healthy, acclimated wheat plants should be able to handle single-digit temperatures without significant damage; however, drought-stressed plants are more susceptible to cold temperatures for multiple reasons," he said.
"Dry soil does little to buffer temperature change and makes growing points more vulnerable under the soil surface. Additionally, drought-stressed plant tissue is less able to cope with leaf damage."
Neely said leaf burn on an unstressed plant from cold temperatures may look devastating, but does little damage to yield if the growing points remain healthy. The plant is able to rapidly replace damaged tissue when temperatures warm up sufficiently for growth to resume and adequate soil moisture is available.
"But damaged leaves on drought-stressed plants can lead to desiccation and death due to destruction of the growing point," he said, adding that observations from plots in Bushland, near Amarillo, show severe winterkill in oats, minor damage in barley and little visible damage to wheat plants.
"Often, symptoms take time to manifest, so producers may need to wait for a week or more before seeing yellow or necrotic leaves," Neely said.
Other concerns that accompany freeze injury are secondary infections from fungi and/or bacteria, which are more difficult to assess initially, he said. If plant tissue is damaged by cold temperatures, the plant may survive, but damaged tissue creates an entry point for diseases, which can be quite damaging given unfavorable conditions.
With the recent weather conditions observed in the High Plains, widespread winterkill is not anticipated at this time; however, isolated pockets are always possible, Neely said. Producers should keep an eye on fields over the next week to look for yellowing.
For a better assessment of crop status, producers can dig up damaged plants and put them in a bucket in a warm room, he said. Healthy plants will send up new leaves to replace damaged ones and continue growth. Some damaged plants may green up only to die shortly thereafter due to secondary infections.

BERLIN (AP) — The family of John Demjanjuk has appealed a prosecutor's decision to shelve an investigation into his death while awaiting an appeal on a Nazi war crimes conviction.
Bavarian prosecutors last week closed the investigation into whether pain medication given to Demjanjuk exacerbated his kidney problems, saying no evidence was found of medical errors.
But in the appeal filed Tuesday, Demjanjuk's attorney says the decision contradicts "all medical knowledge" about the drug Novalgin, which is commonly used in Germany but has been banned in the U.S. and elsewhere over safety concerns.
Demjanjuk's family is asking that charges be brought against five doctors and a nurse.
Demjanjuk was convicted in 2011 of serving as a death camp guard, which he always denied. He died in March at 91 while awaiting an appeal.

Glad Tidings
Muhammad Mahdi Muntadhar
Through the true faiths He sent in the past, Almighty Allah has spoken of a difficult time, the End Times, full of strife, war, oppression and troubles, when killing and acts of terror reach a peak, and when there will be natural disasters and economic crises. Almighty Allah has revealed that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will appear with the title of "the guide to faith" as a savior for the whole world in this final age, when the world will be in a state of terrible disorder, and has told all mankind about this blessed individual.
These glad tidings have been imparted to both Muslims and religious Jews in their own holy books. The Qur'an contains important references to the way of the Mahdi and the global dominion of the moral values of Islam. Hadiths handed down from our Prophet (saas) describe Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the End Times in great detail. In the same way, the events of the End Times and the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) as a leader who will bring peace and security to the whole world are also clearly set out in the Torah and the Zabur (Psalms). This blessed individual who will appear in the End Times, described in the Torah and the Zabur by such names as the MESSIAH, the KING MESSIAH and SHILOH (the one who is sent, the gift of Allah), is Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Therefore, in the End Times in which we are living, and in the light of our Lord's promise, it is essential for Muslims and religious Jews TO DESIRE THE WAY OF THE MAHDI, ANNOUNCE THE COMING OF HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH) AND ENGAGE IN PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES FOR THAT COMING. This is a major religious obligation that people have to fulfill.
The supporters of the anti-Messiah resort to underhand strategies in order to conceal the tidings of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)
As we know, there have been supporters of the anti-Messiah at all times, who have been alarmed by the coming of the prophets and the mahdis sent to various communities at different times and who have waged campaigns against them. These people have used all their material powers and mobilized all the means at their disposal in order to wage intensive campaigns against the prophets and the spiritual leaders of the time. This is the law of our Lord Allah. Allah creates such a climate of struggle in this world in order for the value and importance of the spiritual struggle waged by prophets and messengers to be properly understood, to increase the rewards of those who follow them and for them to enjoy great ease and comfort in the Hereafter. This is a test, a pleasure and a blessing for believers.
In the End Times in which we are living, the same devilish methods are being used by various forces, and the same underhand tricks are being resorted to. Cunning efforts are being made to conceal the glad tidings of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Since the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) in the End Times means a crushing defeat for the anti-Messiah, THE ANTI-MESSIAH AND HIS SUPPORTERS ARE ENGAGED IN INTENSIVE EFFORTS TO CONCEAL THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE MAHDI. One of the methods employed for that purpose is to bring up the false mahdis and messiahs who emerged in the past and to try to give the impression that the Mahdi of the End Times will not be coming. Using this method, the supporters of the anti-Messiah accuse everyone and all societies that speak of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) of making empty, fraudulent promises.
As a result of the anti-Messiah's intensive propaganda,
some Muslims and religious Jews who are awaiting Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) – known as the King Messiah in the Torah – and who wish to tell others the glad tidings of his coming, are becoming wearied of the reactions, criticism and mockery they will attract from people and are retreating from the fray.
Because of their previous experiences and this intense policy of intimidation
they are very wary and are keeping silent because of the probability they will be pressurized
. In this way, they are defeated by the anti-Messiah. USING PSYCHOLOGICAL PRESSURE, INTIMIDATION AND THREATS, THE ANTI-MESSIAH IS TRYING TO PREVENT MUSLIMS AND RELIGIOUS JEWS FROM SPEAKING OF HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH) (THE KING MESSIAH) AND FROM TELLING OTHERS OF HIS COMING.
At this point, some Muslims and religious Jews who believe in the true Mahdi are actually FALLING FOR THIS TRICK OF THE ANTI-MESSIAH'S and are choosing to remain silent because of this totally unnecessary fear on their part. This snare of the anti-Messiah's has had an effect on some people as one of the distinguishing features of the End Times. However, the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is an absolute certainty and NO PLAN ON THE PART OF THE ANTI-MESSIAH CAN POSSIBLY STOP IT.
The true adherents of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) must not fall for the anti-Messiah's tricks
Rumors of the coming of false mahdis and the way that the anti-Messiah will try to hinder the supporters of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) are portents of the End Times revealed by our Prophet (saas). For that reason, the appearance of false mahdis and messiahs is actually a portent of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Some hadiths on the subject handed down from our Prophet (saas) read:
The Day of Reckoning will not take place until some thirty liars are sent,
each one claiming to be the Messenger of Allah.
(Tirmidhi, Kitab al-Fitan: 43; Abu Dawud, Kitab ul-Malahim: 16)
The coming of sixty liars,
each one claiming he has been sent as a Messenger from Allah, the Sole Object of Worship.
(Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 36)
Of course the anti-Messiah will seek to hinder Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), who will put an end to and inflict a huge defeat on him by intellectual means, and his supporters. True believers devoted to Allah with an intense love know that they will be put through such a test and are prepared to face such an intellectual struggle. Therefore, the vile snares, false successes, threats and intimidation on the part of the anti-Messiah MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO FRIGHTEN BELIEVERS, BUT MUST ON THE CONTRARY INCREASE THEIR FERVOR AND POWER OF COMMUNICATION.
If true believers, be they Muslims or religious Jews, await the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and have no doubts regarding Allah's promise, then they must engage in intensive activities to that end. They must not be deceived by the indoctrination from forces that imagine they can seek to hinder them or forget the subject entirely. The more these forces try to make people forget about the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), THE MORE DEVOUT BELIEVERS MUST SPEAK ABOUT THE WAY OF THE MAHDI. The more they praise the glory of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), act as his vanguard and keep raising the subject, the greater abundance and blessings they will enjoy. Because of this genuine and sincere activity, the WAY AHEAD OF THE supporters of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) WILL BE OPENED UP. There is no doubt that Allah WILL BESTOW THE GREATEST VICTORY AND THE FINEST OUTCOME on those who praise and prepare the way for Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) who will be sent in the End Times, and who espouse the way of the Mahdi despite all these intimidatory tactics.
For that reason, no Muslim or religious Jew must be reluctant to speak of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). On the contrary, it is a most excellent religious observance for true believers to praise the glory of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) IN ORDER TO ENRAGE, WEAR DOWN AND DEFEAT THE ANTI-MESSIAH. The solution to all the corruption, the disputes and bloodshed in the world, the oppression and terror, the vice and irreligion in the End Times, IS TO DESIRE THE COMING OF HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH) AND STRIVE TO BRING IT ABOUT. No other tactic or measure can bring about a solution, unless our Lord so wills it.
True Muslims and religious Jews must honestly and sincerely believe THAT THE WORLD IS CREATED TO BE METAPHYSICAL, that our Lord Almighty Allah is unfettered by natural causes, and that if Almighty Allah so ordains, all images, environments and conditions can change with no need for natural causes behind them. THEY MUST NOT FORGET THAT ALL POWER LIES WITH ALLAH, LORD OF THE WORLDS, ALONE. They must pray and strive for Allah's promise to be made good and for the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Of course Almighty Allah, the Compassionate and Merciful, will heed true believers' prayers. BY ALAH'S LEAVE, HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH) WILL DEFINITELY APPEAR, AND VICTORY WILL GO TO HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH) AND HIS GENUINE FOLLOWERS. This is the truth and Allah's promise. And Allah's promise will definitely be kept.
It is He Who created the heavens and the earth with truth. The day He says 'Be!' it is. His speech is Truth. The Kingdom will be His on the Day the Trumpet is blown, the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible. He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware. (Surat al-An'am. 73)
