Is Standing Rock a milestone for American Indian activism?
Dec 8, 2016 1:00 pm by Craig Chamberlain | Social sciences editorExpert ViewpointsHumanitiesSocial Sciences
Native Americans have claimed their rights and their place in the U.S. through more than two centuries of activism, according to Frederick Hoxie, recently retired as a professor of history, law and American Indian studies at Illinois.
For months, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and its allies have protested the routing of an oil pipeline near its reservation in North Dakota – and recently won a temporary victory when federal officials put a hold on the pipeline's completion. But the protest itself has been a significant event in the 200-year history of American Indian activism, says Frederick Hoxie, who told that history in the book "This Indian Country: American Indian Activists and the Place They Made." Recently retired as a University of Illinois professor of history, law and American Indian studies, he spoke with News Bureau social sciences editor Craig Chamberlain about the protest and what it means.
What have you found significant about this event, especially when compared with other American Indian protests of recent decades?
This has been a remarkably successful protest because the organizers presented themselves as more than American Indian activists; they argued that they were defending the environment on behalf of everyone. They spoke of the long history of mistreatment of native peoples, but they insisted from the start that their cause was bigger than defending the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.
The pipeline opponents' approach was strikingly different from fishing rights and treaty rights protests of the recent past – recalling the Wounded Knee occupation of 1973, for example. Those events focused largely on local, tribal grievances and cast participants in the largely male role of modern-day warriors. By contrast, women were quite prominent and visible in the North Dakota protest, and the organizers made a point of reaching out to potential allies in groups concerned with the environment and the unchecked power of energy companies in our daily lives.
Their appeal succeeded in rallying a broad group of activists behind them. As a consequence, there was little intertribal tension in the protest camp, and people from a wide array of reform groups rallied to their side. The protesters' broad approach also won them the support of mainstream churches, political leaders, veterans and others not directly identified with environmental issues.
Finally, the on-site leadership was generally effective in controlling the peaceful tone and maintaining order at their demonstrations, as well as in their use of social media to organize sympathy protests and issue calls for material support. What came across to the public as a consequence of these efforts was a movement that was clearly native-led, but which was also very much in the American tradition of broad-based, peaceful protest.
How do you view this event in light of the long history of native activism that you chronicle in your book?
As I described in "This Indian Country," Native Americans have long insisted that the United States has an obligation to respect their communities and their homelands. They have never asked for special treatment, but they have argued that this nation in the past repeatedly promised them land, protection and dignity in exchange for their friendship and their land. Treaties embody many of those promises, but so do federal actions that recognize and protect American Indian cultures and traditions.
The most effective protests have been ones where native leaders have demonstrated that their claims are based on these basic principles of fairness and respectful consultation. The North Dakota group's ability to accomplish that goal drew people toward them and multiplied their power. The protesters also benefited from the active support of national American Indian leaders and organizations who endorsed their approach.
The pipeline protests also introduced a newer element to the tradition of Native American activism: the claim that native people have a special obligation to alert the American public to threats to the environment. White people often stereotype native people as innocent children of nature. The protesters turned that benign stereotype around by declaring that they would not sit idly by while a precious resource – drinking water – was being endangered. In contrast to the old conservation poster of the old Indian silently weeping over polluted streams, these activists stood up as Indians and as Americans to express outrage and demand action.
Is the protest a sign of yet another stage in the evolution of American Indian politics and expectations?
The sophistication of the protest operation itself, its ability to win significant participation and support from non-native environmentalists, and this unexpected – if even temporary – victory signal a new and exciting stage in the evolution of American Indian politics. Following in the footsteps of native activists who began their campaigns nearly two centuries ago, these protesters have demonstrated that they have a legitimate claim to speak out on an important issue of our time, and that they have the political savvy and organizational strength to enable them to win the spotlight and to be heard. It will be difficult to ignore them in the years ahead.

If you know of any buildings which still exist and are not represented here, I'd love to hear from you.
The short-lived Chicken Chef chain (1968-1971) had locations in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Tennessee. Apparently, there were locations in a few other states as well. There are still a few surviving buildings and one still operating location (see bottom of the blue box below). The buildings look very similar to Mr. Swiss. However, the box-like structure in front of the building has a sloped roof.

Women speak on struggle, resistance & solidarity
By Workers World staff posted on March 24, 2014
Speakers from March 21 women's forum.

Workers World Party sponsored an extraordinary panel of women activists at its annual International Working Women's Month forum in New York City on March 21. The program was entitled "Women on the move against the 1%; Oppression of women here and worldwide = resistance and solidarity." The women speakers connected some of their daily personal and political experiences to the general status of women living under and resisting capitalism and imperialism, including low-wage jobs, racism, sexism, transgender oppression, war, occupation and other forms of institutionalized inequality.
Monica Moorehead, an organizer of the forum, remarked: "It was so inspiring and educational for everyone who attended this three-hour forum to hear these courageous women not only speak about their roles in their various groups and coalitions, but also connect their daily struggles to other women and communities that are thousands of miles away. Their words showed that these struggles know no borders. They also spoke about the need to put aside any differences in order to work together because building unity and solidarity is the only way to replace this oppressive system with one — socialism — that is based on winning social justice and workers' empowerment, including the liberation of women."
The speakers and their organizations were Joyce Kanowitz, People with Disabilities Caucus of Workers World Party; Madison St. Claire, Strategic Trans Alliance for Radical Reform, part of the Sylvia Rivera Law Project; Rosanna Rodriguez, Laundry Workers Center; Rosa Maria de la Torre, Chelsea Coalition for Housing; Norma Capuyan, KALUMARAN: Strength of Indigenous Peoples in Mindanao, Philippines; Fatin Jarara, Al-Awda, Palestine Right to Return Coalition; Brenda Stokely, Million Worker March Movement; Kaylee Knowles, Fight Imperialism, Stand Together (FIST) youth group; Teresa Gutierrez, May 1 Coalition for Worker and Immigrant Rights; and Sharon Black, Baltimore "We Deserve Better" Workers Assembly. LeiLani Dowell from Workers World newspaper chaired the meeting.

Why ODB Would Be a Star in 2018

by Julian Kimble
The November, 1993 release of Wu-Tang Clan's Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) transported listeners into a discordant world of martial arts samples, Five Percenter knowledge, and street tales, all while unveiling the greatest concentration of talent hip-hop had ever witnessed. Ol' Dirty Bastard, a founding Wu-Tang member, was unlike the rest of his comrades. Dirty, who adopted the "righteous name" Ason Unique after joining the Nation of Islam offshoot sect, the Nation of Gods and Earths, and referred to himself as such on Wu-Tang's debut single, "Protect Ya Neck," was A Son Unique, indeed. His style, an idiosyncratic blend of raunch, humor, and skill (yes, skill), was unprecedented in hip-hop. Where ODB's gonzo technique and self-destructive public persona were largely thought of as novelty during his career, they would've translated into something else entirely in today's landscape: superstardom.
ODB played his position as a chess piece throughout Enter the Wu-Tang, punctuating songs with his off-kilter approach, but he was quick to establish himself as a solo artist following the album's critical acclaim. 1995's Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version, brought levity to Wu-Tang's arcane universe through ODB's free-form, kaleidoscopic method. His "fatherless style" defined his existence: Woozy sexcapade anecdotes like "Don't U Know" showed his knack for vulgarity, evoking memories of the infamously lewd performer Blowfly and comedian Rudy Ray Moore. Still, his charisma shone through in his animated cadence, playfully gross lyrics like "I keep my breath smellin' like shit so I can get funky," and numerous interviews. Much to the world's amusement and, tragically, his own detriment, ODB dominated the news cycle before "going viral" entered the lexicon. His erratic behavior was never a display of petulance, though, he was just comfortably shameless in an industry unconcerned with the wellbeing of the damaged souls it enables for profit. In 2018, that machine would devour his every move even faster.
If ODB, who died of a drug overdose in November 2004, two days before his 36th birthday, were 24 and alive today, he'd be hip-hop's most transparent display of impulse: a constant topic of conversation. His songs—in which he declared himself a one-man army, played drunken Casanova, and urged the FBI not to keep tabs on him—would climb the Billboard and Spotify charts, their ascent driven by his exploits. Imagine the real-time reactions, comical hashtags, and resulting memes had his 1998 Grammy speech, where he proclaimed that Wu-Tang was for the children after abruptly taking the stage, happened today. He could make songs as dissonant as "Raw Hide," or adjust his form for huge R&B remixes like SWV's "Anything" and Mariah Carey's "Fantasy." Add that to the list of reasons why he'd be recognized as the King of New York—a bonafide star. "O.D.B. burned hot in a world where stars are supposed to stay cool," Kelefa Sanneh wrote in the New York Times following Dirty's death. His madcap flair, stoked by 2018's thirst for spectacle and mainstream music's broadened palate, would push him beyond the realm of cult hero and onto the front line under today's ever-ready spotlight.
Experimentalism was not only one of ODB's strongest qualities, but the one best suitable for the current music landscape. He may not have met the staunchest purist's criteria for what constitutes a "good rapper," but that notion is subjective. ODB made music by coloring outside the lines. This would serve him perfectly now, as hip-hop's tolerance for the baroque is so high that things once considered radical, weird, or flat-out unacceptable now prevail. Where artists like Young Thug and Key! are notable for their aversion to typical verse and song structure and the strategic-but-natural use of ad-libs, ODB mastered all of the above back in the '90s—and with unmistakable, foul-mouthed charm. "Brooklyn Zoo" features an intro of shit talk, an extended stream-of-consciousness verse, and a hook that functions as an outro. Meanwhile, "Cuttin Headz" is a hookless display of his and RZA's chemistry. He had an abstract process for making songs as well, something Pras testified to when he revealed that ODB recorded his ad-libs on "Ghetto Superstar (That Is What You Are)" first and his actual verse, which he freestyled, last. "On the fourth track, it was everything you hear currently, right now," he explained on the Drink Champs podcast earlier this year. "So he did it backwards." (The buried lede here is that ODB only appeared on the song in the first place because he stumbled into the wrong studio.)
ODB also grasped the value of inflection; that it isn't just what you say, but how you say it. Take "Shimmy Shimmy Ya," for example. He emphasizes the end of the opening bars ("Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay/Gimme the mic so I can take it away"), breaks out into song ("For any MC in any 52 states/I get psycho killllaaaaa, Norman Bates"), then caps the verse by blending the emphatic rhyme scheme and his singing voice ("My producer slam, my flow is like, blam!/Jump on stage and then I dip dowwwwn"). Although he sang poorly, he did so to great effect. ODB could deliver throaty renditions of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" mid-song or vocalize the "Sanford and Son" theme without offending the ears. He could cover Rick James and Billie Holiday or belt out vocals with a little bit of creative direction, as he did on "Pop Shit" thanks to Pharrell's guidance. This ability would adapt well in modern hip-hop, where there's a premium on versatility because it creates a more engaging listen. And for better or worse, there's no denying that ODB, in all of his outrageousness, was entertaining.
One way artists "entertain" today is through greater access to their day-to-day lives. Audiences gawk eagerly as stars plummet after flying too close to the sun, because society enjoys watching tragedy unfold before its eyes. "There's a small explicit thrill, envy almost, in watching public figures self-destruct, particularly when it involves sex, drugs, and creativity, because it represents what we want, what we wish we could do," Jaime Lowe wrote in her 2008 book, Digging for Dirt: The Life and Death of ODB. ODB's instability was fueled by drug addiction; Lowe's book suggests neglected mental illness played a significant factor as well. (A source reportedly told the New York Daily News that he was displaying signs of schizophrenia in 2003.) Regardless, the public ate it up. "To a lot of people who deem themselves politically correct," storied A&R Dante Ross told The Guardian in 2002. "I think Dirty became their minstrel show. He was as close as they could get to the ghetto and watch someone totally dissolve as a human, while sitting far enough back to laugh."

Similar fetishization persists today, as the likes of Young Thug, Future, Migos, Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, and Chief Keef, just to name a few, are ogled by the masses and often covered by white writers operating at extreme cultural distances in a way that's uncomfortable and sparks debates. This coverage does, unfortunately, boost artists' popularity and drive content, so even in this day and age of hyperwoke performance, ODB's eccentricities—and the issues that hamstrung his career and led to his demise—would control the headlines, thus making his profile bigger. Talk of all the children he allegedly sired and his child support issues would be endless fodder for the Shade Room. His shootings, including one allegedly with the NYPD, would be chronicled by every outlet from CNN to Bossip—ridiculous headlines and all. The unbelievable series of events that ultimately landed him in jail in 2001 (namely his escape from rehab and arrest while signing autographs in the parking lot of a McDonald's in Philadelphia) would receive nonstop coverage from TMZ. Given his comedic timing, picture his most notorious interviews, then envision the most absurd portions of his Breakfast Club and Hot 97 appearances being aggregated across various sites. This would be greatly aided by social media, which has helped erase the barrier to celebrity.
ODB had no filter, so his social media accounts would likely be correspondingly raw. His trip to pick up food stamps in a limo? That would've been an Instagram Story, especially since it occurred while he was promoting his debut album. Him calling assistants "white devils" while recording his verse for the "Fantasy" remix and buying clothes for the music video that he didn't even wear ("I wanted to shoot him," former Sony Music exec Cory Rooney told Billboard in 2016)? Another epic IG Story. His first 24 hours out of prison, documented in a sad VH1 special, would've been an impossibly long Story and viewed as less depressing because he'd be seen as in control of the situation. Overall, the sheer randomness of his behavior would have made him a sensation, and his peers would love it as much as his fans or the media.
Another way of gauging ODB's popularity in 2018 is the way today's rappers embrace him. KYLE listed him as a huge influence, revealing that "Got Your Money" was the first rap song he ever heard. JPEGMAFIA, notable for his amorphous approach, built "Real Nega" around a sample of ODB's detached vocals from "Goin' Down" and paid homage to the brilliant, welfare card-emblazoned cover of Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version through one of the covers for his Veteran album. In an interview, JPEGMAFIA explained why he felt obligated to reference ODB: "He was weird as shit before the internet, before all of that shit, before it was cliché to be weird…I had to put him on there because he's a precursor; he's like a relic, he predated all of that shit. And he wasn't trying to be anything—that's just who he was." Those quirks have made ODB ubiquitous thanks to hip-hop's evolution.
"Everyone is trying to mimic his style right now … It ain't a bad thing, it's a good thing," his son, Young Dirty Bastard, told Noisey in 2014. ODB's style was anomalous and timeless, and in an era when the supposed canon outlining what rappers can and can't do on record grows increasingly irrelevant, his star would shine bright.

PinkNews Staff Writer January 26, 2006
Fresh from being booted out of his most famous role as James Bond, Pierce Brosnan hits the big screen once again in a role that seems to have given him an immense amount of fun.
In fact, those who know Brosnan primarily from his Bond turns – or perhaps as Remmington Steele in the 1980s TV show of the same name through which he first found fame – may not really have noticed that he's got a wonderful comic ability. The suave Bond image, even with the one-liners, has always seemed slightly restrictive on old Pierce and despite making a very good 007, second only to Sir Sean Connery, he's never really been able to shine through and prove his abilities in the part.
Yet in a number of his other film projects since becoming a global megastar with the Bond franchise, Brosnan has seemingly easily displayed precisely the kind of laid-back, likeable charm that his Bond has often lacked. Be it as the title character in the superb heist movie that is The Thomas Crown Affair remake, the unconventional lawyer in romantic comedy The Laws of Attraction, the sociopath spy in The Tailor of Panama or even the nutty professor in the excellent sci-fi spoof Mars Attacks!, Brosnan has used his good looks and classic Hollywood smile to superb effect, often playing off his status as Bond to expertly wrongfoot audience expectations.
Now, however, we get to see Brosnan do near-slapstick comedy in a deliberate exercise in good natured self-mocking. Once again using his audience's instant recognition of him as Bond, the expectation of Brosnan playing a hitman is that he will be the usual charming, smooth and sophisticated type which the Irishman seems constantly to have been cast as since he became 007 back in 1995. Instead, his assassin is a bumbling, sleazy, moustachioed near-incompetent who looks and acts more like a reject from a low-budget 1970s porn movie than the coolest secret agent in the history of cinema.
Thanks largely to this unexpected turn, the result is a lightweight but highly entertaining, utterly silly film. Brosnan's assassin befriends the often underrated Greg Kinnear in Mexico city, helping out the down-on-his-luck businessman to sort out a few problems. But soon the favour needs to be returned – not in the kind of sinister way that hitmen usually require favours to be returned in Hollywood movies, but a surprisingly endearing, pathetic and yet simultaneously repellent way.
Throughout, it is Brosnan who dominates – his character is incredibly hard to like, but his performance is instantly endearing. He's obviously having great fun in front of the camera, and such sheer enjoyment filters through easily. This may not be a classic by any stretch, and is unlikely to have the enduring appeal of his The Thomas Crown Affair, but it is almost guaranteed to give you a top-notch night out, albeit a highly silly one.

"Hydrogen Two-Photon Continuum Emission from the Horseshoe Filament in " by R. M. Johnstone, R. E.A. Canning et al.
Far-ultraviolet emission has been detected from a knot of Hα emission in the Horseshoe filament, far out in the NGC 1275 nebula. The flux detected relative to the brightness of the Hα line in the same spatial region is very close to that expected from hydrogen two-photon continuum emission in the particle heating model of Ferland et al. if reddening internal to the filaments is taken into account. We find no need to invoke other sources of far-ultraviolet emission such as hot stars or emission lines from C IV in intermediate-temperature gas to explain these data.

Alyssa Obregon threw three innings and struck out three batters.
Ironically, Floydada (3-4) will head to Slaton on Thursday for a tournament.
Whirlwinds collar Bulldogs
TAHOKA – The Floydada Whirlwinds baseball team blew by the Tahoka Bulldogs for a season-opening, five-inning 21-8 victory on Monday.

Hermilio Martinez gave up eight runs on five hits and recorded 12 strikeouts for the win.
Floydada (1-0) competes in the Post Tournament on Thursday.
Edgemon honored as SAC Player of Week
By KEVIN LEWIS
Wayland Baptist Athletics
PLAINVIEW – Wayland Baptist's Kaylee Edgemon has been named Sooner Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week.
Edgemon helped the sixth-ranked Flying Queens to three victories last week over Oklahoma-Panhandle State (87-64), Southwestern Christian (99-49) and 10th-ranked Oklahoma City University (76-61).
Two games after scoring a career-high 23 points in a game against Bacone, Edgemon topped that with a 27-point effort against Southwestern Christian, then the next game went for 22 points with nine rebounds as the Flying Queens completed the regular-season sweep of OCU to take the inside track to the No. 1 seed in the SAC Tournament.
For the week, Edgemon averaged 19.7 points and 6.7 rebounds. She shot 59 percent (24-of-41) from the field, 42 percent (5-of-12) from 3-point range, and 86 percent (6-of-7) from the free-throw line.
A 5-11 sophomore from Littlefield and a first-year transfer from Eastern New Mexico University, Edgemon ranks 13th in the NAIA in field goal percentage (49 percent).
The Flying Queens (24-4, 18-2) wrap up the regular-season this week and can clinch at least a share of the conference title and the No. 1 seed in the SAC Tournament with wins at Texas Wesleyan (13-15, 11-9) and Southwestern Assemblies of God (19-9, 13-7). In the first round of conference play, Wayland defeated Texas Wesleyan, 80-53, and SAGU, 76-66.

PLAINVIEW – Josh Throns of Wayland Baptist University has been recognized as Sooner Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week.
Throns helped the ninth-ranked Pioneers secure their first-ever SAC regular-season title with wins over Oklahoma-Panhandle State (97-87), Southwestern Christian (85-61) and No. 18 Oklahoma City (86-74).
In only 21 minutes, Throns came off the bench to pour in a season-high 28 points against Southwestern Christian. He hit 9-of-13 field goals, including 6-of-9 3-pointers, and was 4-of-4 at the free-throw line.
"Josh was ready to play," WBU coach Ty Harrelson said.
Throns then scored 17 points in Saturday's win over OCU that cinched the conference title.
For the week, Throns – a senior guard from Perth, Australia, who twice played in front of his parents who were visiting from Australia – averaged 19 points and 2.3 rebounds while hitting 20-of-35 field goals (57 percent), 13-of-26 3-pointers (50 percent), and 4-of-5 free throws (80 percent).
For the season, Throns has made 61-of-69 free throws (88.4 percent).
The Pioneers (22-6) wind up the regular-season this week with three games. The Pioneers return to SAC play with games Thursday at Texas Wesleyan (13-15, 8-12) and Saturday afternoon at Southwestern Assemblies of God (18-10, 11-9). Earlier this season, WBU defeated Texas Wesleyan, 68-52, and SAGU, 92-71.

Trump Eyes Anti-Vaxxer Robert Kennedy, Jr., for Vaccine Safety Committee
The medical community isn't thrilled about the news.

The medical community is expressing concern after reports surfaced Tuesday that president-elect Donald Trump met with vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert Kennedy, Jr., to potentially chair a committee on vaccine safety.
Kennedy was photographed going into Trump Tower in New York on Tuesday and told reporters afterward, per The Atlantic, that the meeting went "very well." Kennedy also said that Trump asked him "to chair a committee on vaccine safety and scientific integrity."
However, Hope Hicks, a spokesperson for Trump, told the Los Angeles Times that Trump is only "exploring the possibility" of a committee. "The president-elect enjoyed his discussion with Robert Kennedy, Jr., on a range of issues and appreciates his thoughts and ideas," Hicks said. "The president-elect looks forward to continuing the discussion about all aspects of autism with many groups and individuals."
Major health organizations, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Academy of Medicine, and the World Health Organization, have repeatedly stated that there is no connection between vaccinations and autism or other neurological conditions. Numerous studies have also backed up those statements.
Before it was determined that thimerosal, a preservative used in some vaccines, is not harmful, it was removed as an ingredient in many vaccines as a precaution. Since it actually doesn't have a link to health issues, it still remains in some flu vaccines, the CDC says. The organization states that the human body easily eliminates thimerosal from its system, adding, "thimerosal use in medical products has a record of being very safe."
Despite scientific evidence to the contrary, Kennedy has publicly stated that thimerosal is linked to autism. He also claims that the government is covering this up—allegations that he detailed in a 2005 article for Rolling Stone called "Deadly Immunity," and expanded on in a 2014 book called Thimerosol: Let the Science Speak. In addition, he promoted the 2014 anti-vaccination movie Trace Amounts. "They get the shot, that night they have a fever of 103, they go to sleep, and three months later, their brain is gone," he told an audience in Sacramento before a screening of the film in 2015, per the Sacramento Bee. "This is a holocaust, what this is doing to our country."
Autism Speaks, an advocacy group for people with autism, released a statement to NBC News after Kennedy's meeting with Trump, stressing that vaccines aren't scientifically linked to autism. "Over the last two decades, extensive research has asked whether there is any link between childhood vaccinations and autism," the statement said. "The results of this research are clear: Vaccines do not cause autism."
Richard Watkins, M.D., an infectious-disease specialist at Cleveland Clinic Akron General Hospital in Ohio, tells SELF that the news of a potential committee on vaccine safety chaired by Kennedy is "disappointing for those of us who believe in science and practice evidence-based medicine." He adds, "vaccines have already been thoroughly evaluated for safety."
Women's health expert Jennifer Wider, M.D., agrees. "This is frightening, especially for the medical community who has been fighting and fighting anti-vaccine rhetoric for years," she tells SELF.
Danelle Fisher, M.D., chair of pediatrics at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California, tells SELF that she's concerned about a vocal opponent of vaccines being chosen to lead a committee on vaccination safety. "An outspoken critic against this science chosen to lead this position seems a bit biased," she says. "It would do a huge disservice to vulnerable children across the country if we start reversing their opinions on science based on something non-scientific."
Wider says she's concerned that a continuation of anti-vaccine talk will cause more children to be unvaccinated, which can have "dire" consequences. "All of this rhetoric continues to endanger public health and confuse parents about vaccinating their kids," she says.
Watkins stresses that vaccines "save lives and prevent serious illnesses." "I have seen several patients who suffered severe brain damage from measles before the vaccine was available," he says. "Personally, all of my children were vaccinated according to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices vaccine schedule."
Fisher says she regularly talks to families with concerns about vaccinations and that she always stresses she would never want to do something potentially harmful to their children, just as she wouldn't do that to her child. "I would do the same for my own child as I would do for every single patient," she says. "That is endorsement enough, hopefully." If you have questions about vaccines, experts recommend speaking with your child's pediatrician or doing research of your own based on reputable sources like the CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics.
Just know this, per Wider: "Vaccines protect people's lives."

Star Trek MMORPG in development
But you'll need a wormhole to 2007 to play it now.
News by	Tom Bramwell, Contributor
Updated on 11 October 2007
Online game developer Perpetual Entertainment, founded by Electronic Arts veterans Joe Keene and Chris McKibbin, has signed a deal with Viacom to produce a massively multiplayer Star Trek game - under the working title Star Trek Online - spanning all five TV series and 10 movies in the long-running sci-fi franchise.
Although the game covers all the content created for TV and the big screen, the launch version of the game will focus on the 24th century setting of Star Trek: The Next Generation, with further expansion packs set to add content from different parts of the timeline.
However Star Trek fans shouldn't get too excited just yet, because Perpetual doesn't even plan to begin testing the game until sometime in 2006 (the franchise's 40th anniversary), and won't launch the game until early 2007.
According to a FAQ document on StarTrek.com, the game will feature "a persistent world where thousands of players will immerse themselves in the life and times of the Federation. You will explore the galaxy, defend against incursions, and pursue the needs of the Federation in space, on planet surfaces and in star bases."
Chris McKibbin, president of Perpetual, added: "Players will encounter characters, places, and situations from their favourite Star Trek movies and televisions series; will explore incredibly new worlds; and will cooperate with or battle friendly and hostile races throughout the game."
For more detailed information on the game, which is still in the early stages of development, we suggest you check out the FAQ for yourself. Expect to hear more on Star Trek Online sometime soon.

Deutsche Bank expects huge 6.7-bn-euro net loss in 2015
Deutsche Bank expects a fourth-quarter loss of 2.1 billion euros, it said in a statement (AFP Photo/Daniel Roland)
Berlin (AFP) - Germany's largest bank, Deutsche Bank, on Wednesday said it expected an overall loss of 6.7 billion euros ($7.3 billion) for 2015, blamed on litigation costs, write-downs and restructuring charges.
Some of the losses had already been announced earlier in 2015 but the bank reported additional litigation charges of 1.2 billion euros in the fourth quarter.
Overall, it expects a fourth-quarter loss of 2.1 billion euros, weighed down by "challenging market conditions", the lender said in a statement of preliminary earnings.
"The full-year results include previously disclosed impairments taken in the third quarter of 5.8 billion euros of goodwill and intangibles, full-year litigation provisions of approximately 5.2 billion euros and restructuring and severance charges of approximately 1.0 billion euros," it said.
The bank is currently embroiled in some 6,000 law suits over allegations of money laundering and rate manipulation. Last May, it was fined a record $2.5 billion for its involvement in rigging interest rates.
In addition to write-downs totalling 5.8 billion euros due to tougher regulations on capital requirements, Deutsche also took charges on assets such as its almost 20-percent stake in China's Hua Xia Bank, pushing it deeper into the red.
The bank said its planned sale of the stake in the China-based bank is expected to close in the second quarter of 2016.
Last October, Deutsche Bank vowed to take drastic measures after unveiling a record 6.01-billion-euro loss in the third quarter.
Besides not paying dividends in 2015 and 2016, Deutsche said it would cut some 26,000 jobs, around a quarter of the workforce, sell off assets and pull out of 10 countries.
"It's all about executing on our plans to build a better Deutsche Bank... about making Deutsche Bank simpler and more efficient," new co-chief executive John Cryan said at the time.
In Wednesday's statement, Deutsche Bank said it expects to report fourth-trimester revenues of 6.6 billion euros -- compared to 7.8 billion euros a year earlier -- and full-year revenues of 33.5 billion euros, up six percent on the previous year.
The lender also said it was targeting a capital ratio -- a measure of its financial strength -- of roughly 11 percent at the end of the fourth quarter.
The bank will announce full details of the fourth-quarter and annual results on January 28.
Observers say Deutsche Bank is trapped between its international ambitions in the field of investment banking, where it insists it is among the top five in the world, and its traditional high-street banking in Germany.
It suffers from mediocre profitability, faces ferocious competition and increasing regulatory demands.
