Measles cases reached 15-year high in 2011
Back in 2000 measles was eliminated from the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But now a new CDC study tells us there were 17 outbreaks and 222 cases of the highly infectious disease reported in 2011.
An outbreak is defined as three or more cases linked by time or location. The average age of those infected was 14 and most were infected while traveling abroad. Seventy patients were hospitalized, but there were no deaths reported.
"It's really important for families to know that measles are still a threat," Schuchat said. "In some places it's easy to exempt from a vaccine. We believe that for many parents a reason to decline a vaccine is they don't think the disease exist, they believe it's gone ... No one wants their child to die from measles in 2012."

MSNBC host Al Sharpton owes creditors and Feds nearly $1 million
MSNBC’s Al Sharpton is reeling in debt and back taxes.
The liberal provocateur owes nearly $1 million to creditors and the federal government as a result of his failed bid for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination.
His campaign’s unpaid bills exceed $888,000, according to federal filings.
It is unclear why Sharpton has not paid his creditors. He does not lack for income.
Sharpton has his own primetime talk show on liberal network MSNBC, a platform he used to drive the Trayvon Martin shooting story that rocked the nation and led to the arrest of Democratic neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman.
In August 2011, Sharpton took over the 6 p.m. slot from Keith Olbermann, who earned more than $4 million per year working in the same slot at the network. Sharpton also drew a $240,000 salary from his nonprofit group, National Action Network, in 2011 even as the group racked up nearly $1 million in unpaid federal payroll taxes, interest, and penalties.

A foreign policy disaster President opens the door to catastrophe
Victor Davis Hanson:
In a variety of landscapes — North Korea, Russia, China, Iran, the Middle East, South America — this administration has either overtly or inadvertently given signals that if one were to alter the existing strategic landscape the U.S. might not react. After three years of everything from overseas contingencies operations, open mics, the Maldives/Malvinas, serial deadlines to Iran, “light” between the U.S. and Israel to the abrupt withdrawal of all U.S. combat troops in Iraq, confusion about North Korea, “reset,” and the administration’s on again/off again attention span in Afghanistan, I think there is a good chance for a “correction” by mid- or late-2012, in which some decide that it is time to cash out their chips and take what they think are their winnings home. That we are $5 trillion poorer than we were three years ago and facing massive budget cuts as we add another $1 trillion a year to the debt is also not lost on our enemies.

Four-week average trending UP...sound of crickets from MSM
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits slipped 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 386,000, the Labor Department said. But the prior week's figure was revised up to 388,000 from the previously reported 380,000.
The four-week moving average for new claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends, rose 5,500 to 374,750.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast claims falling to 370,000 last week.
