Jose Interiano and his neighbor thought they were getting a pretty good deal when a contractor offered to build them a long concrete block wall between their two properties for only $2800 dollars.
He said he had a state license, as required by law, but he never gave them the particulars on that and they didn't check him out. What they did do was give him almost the whole price in advance. The man came back with a couple of day laborers, dug a few holes, and never returned. Ouch. Welcome to the real world, where would be contractors rip people off all day every day in California and other states. We have something called the Contractors State License Board which tries to go after those working without a license, and today they announced some 121 people were arrested in 9 different undercover stings throughout the state.
Granted it's ''only'' a misdemeanor with a fine, but if the unlicensed contractors repeat offenders, they could go to jail. The Board stresses that consumers need to be proactive, go to their website, cslb.ca.gov where you can do an instant license check, and also see what if any disciplinary actions have been taken against licensed contractors. If they are not on there, that's a red flag. It's not worth it in the long run to save a little money by okaying a low bid when you don't know who you're dealing with and have no way to guarantee the quality of the job . Jose filed a complaint, even gave the State the address of the guy he says ripped him off, investigators supposedly haven't been able to locate him. We'll see. He did get a judgement against the guy in small claims court, good luck collecting. Live and learn right ?

Central Michigan University student government members are calling for school leaders to lift the ban on self-defense sprays, such as pepper spray, to help improve safety on the campus.
Chloe Gleichman and Mariah Urueta are two CMU students who believe their safety can be improved by carrying a quick-fire can of pepper spray.
"My grandma said, 'We should get you some of that, just in case,'" explained Urueta, a junior on campus, who was holding her small canister of spray.
"It's a psychological thing for me. I mean, I don't know if I could actually ever use it," said Gleichman, a senior.
The two students carry pepper spray as a sense of security. But under current CMU rules, it's technically a violation to carry the spray, and it could get them suspended or even kicked off of campus. Pepper spray is banned under the current CMU Weapons Policy.
"I just think that's really unfair and given circumstances of late, it seems like a bad policy," said William Joseph, a member of the Student Government Association at the university.
Joseph recently introduced legislation to lift the ban on self-defense spray. He points to the attack on campus last month as the reason why students should be allowed to carry pepper spray. On Jan. 16, a female student was abducted from in front of the Student Activities Center and brutally assaulted before narrowly escaping.
"I think it's just something else you can take as a precaution," said Joseph.
Even though pepper spray and other self-defense products are illegal on the CMU campus, it was not hard to find students who carried the spray. It also was not hard to find the product for sale. The CMU Bookstore, which is on campus, sells it.
CMU student representatives believe erasing the language that makes it illegal to possess pepper spray could help make students feel safer and make the campus a safer place to be.
"If this repeal of the ban ends up helping just one person here on campus, then it's definitely worth it," said student representative Jenny Moiles.
The next step is for the legislation to make it through one more student governmental hurdle. If it does, the legislation will be turned over to Central Michigan's Board of Trustees and the university president. Those parties have the power to overwrite current weapons policies on campus.
Pepper spray is legal to carry in the state of Michigan. The rules the students are proposing would follow state laws.

LOXAHACHEE, Fla.—Jerry Manuel got the telephone call from White Sox General Manager Ron Schueler on a Monday in November. He was asked if he wanted to be considered for the team's managerial opening, with the option to interview that Thursday or Friday.
Manuel had been preparing a lifetime for this chance, but he nevertheless put it off until Friday. He wanted time to fully prepare.
"Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were days of fasting and prayer," Manuel said last week.
He appeared truly to be a man at peace during a three-hour conversation in the family room of his comfortable house, at times actually curling up on his couch.
At the Dec. 4 news conference to announce Manuel's hiring as the White Sox's 36th manager, Schueler recalled that "the room lit up" when Manuel walked into his hotel suite for the initial interview. Manuel believes that first impression was the result of answered prayers.
"It is my belief that was spiritual," Manuel said. "When I went in there, I had a plan. God gave me a plan."
Manuel, 43, a career .150 hitter in the major leagues who spent the last seven years as a coach for Felipe Alou with the Montreal Expos and Jim Leyland with the Florida Marlins, returns to the only organization ever to give him a pink slip. He was fired from a scouting job in the winter of 1985-86 by then-Sox GM Ken Harrelson.
Manuel wanted this job in the worst way. But he didn't want it just for the usual reasons of ambition, money or ego. He wanted it because he believes he has been prepared thoroughly to succeed. And by winning in a market as large as Chicago's, with a franchise that hasn't been to a World Series since 1959, he plans to be a positive role model for his fellow Christians and African-Americans.
There is both order and serenity in the two-story house on a sandy road on the western outskirts of West Palm Beach, Fla., where the Manuels have lived for a decade. It is decorated with antiques and collectibles, with the most prominent baseball item a poster commemorating the old Negro leagues. There are computers for the children to do their schoolwork and a swimming pool and two basketball goals outside among the tall pines. The only disturbance is a telephone that seems perpetually ringing.
Yet Renette Manuel confidently declares the couple officially in the market for a home in Chicago. In doing this, she would seem to overlook the average shelf life of recent Sox managers Jim Fregosi, Jeff Torborg, Gene Lamont and Terry Bevington. She believes it will be different for her husband.
Both Manuels are interested to hear about DuPage County, yet Renette has her heart set on something closer to Comiskey Park. She hasn't yet explored farther south than 35th Street, but a recent newspaper article about the revitalization of Kenwood intrigued her.
"We came here because of a job," she said. "Neither of us had family here. There has been a lot of growth in our family here, but the season here has ended. It's time to move on. I look forward with great anticipation to making the move to Chicago."
She expects to make a difference in the lives of many people she has yet to meet.
"The word of God says God has a plan for you," Renette said. "I know we had to be qualified for this, I know (Jerry) had to be good at what he does. But there's a responsibility there. We are ready for that responsibility."
More than any other word, that's the one that pops up the most during a long conversation with Jerry Manuel. He uses it to describe his marriage, his religion and his management philosophies.
In professional sports, where backup players sometimes can earn more than their bosses, many coaches and managers tiptoe around the tough stuff. But Manuel wants it to be known upfront that he will place demands on all of his players, including batting champ Frank Thomas and Albert Belle.
"Commitment means changes, and sometimes change is uncomfortable," Manuel said. "If you're going to be committed to winning a world championship, you have to be willing to change, because (the current White Sox players) haven't won one."

Aging as a Woman
There aren't many of us who haven't cringed at the discovery of a new 'laugh line' or stood naked before a full length mirror and thought, "What ever happened to my body?" At some point there is a confrontation with the individual's concept of what the physical body is or should be and the inevitable reality that it is morphing right before our eyes.
Fact is, everything about us is different when compared to any other time in this physical experience. No matter how stridently we fight, the maturing of the physical, mental and spiritual is a natural progression. In a single lifetime we undergo changes too numerous to count. The causes that result in these changes are a complex combination of many factors that are as individual as each of us. Some we have control over, others we don't. Some are external or artificial; others are internal or natural. Exterior events such as stress, pollution, sun, physical activity or the lack thereof can impact the physical body. Internal events such as genetics, hormones, chemical changes and diet can also impact the physical body. Together these, and hundreds of other influences, are significant contributors to the overall metamorphosis we call aging.
Since we cannot escape the inevitability of getting older, what can we do and how can we cope in our youth oriented culture? Maybe a starting point should be the adage that says the movement of one butterfly's wings can alter an ocean's currents. That means if we, as individuals, adjust our thoughts and beliefs about ourselves we can change our consciousness to allow for natural maturation. If each of us transforms personal opinions of who and what we are with respect to aging, the overall perception of women aging will never be the same.
We have taken great steps to better understanding and expressing ourselves in the last few decades. We began to stretch our wings, knowing we only had to contend with boundaries we created. Whether a nurse, housewife or corporate executive, we began feel our power as women and to appreciate ourselves and our contributions. Our appreciation and knowledge of our gender and self then began to radiate outward.
These are wonderful advances, but, truth be told we are in the infant stages of learning what it means to be female. The exploration of the emotional and physical requirements of a woman has really just entered the gender landscape. Women are obviously physically different from men, yet the majority of medical testing has traditionally been centered around males, their needs, their responses, the causes for and the treatment of their ills. Women's health was grouped in with men, even though we are different. However, society has finally started to recognize that women may experience the same ills for different reasons and our more female oriented issues are just beginning to be explored by the medical profession.

Endeavor Air is an American regional airline that operates as Delta Connection for Delta Air Lines.[1] Pinnacle Airlines Corp. emerged from chapter 11 reorganization as a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines which became official on May 1st, 2013.[2][3] The name of the airline was changed from Pinnacle Airlines to Endeavor Air on August 1st, 2013.[4]
Its corporate headquarters is on the property of Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport,[4] and it has hubs at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, New York's LaGuardia Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport. Until the restructuring, Endeavor also operated hubs at Delta's Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and Memphis International Airport hubs.[5]
The airline was established in February 1985 as Express Airlines I with the intent of offering regional airline passenger feed to a code sharing, major airline's hub.[6] Express I began its first code sharing agreement with Republic Airlines in May 1985.[7] Republic was the dominant carrier in Memphis but, in keeping with the hub-and-spoke concept, wanted to add more smaller cities and free up its larger DC-9 jets to serve longer stage-length routes. Express I was able to accomplish this by beginning service on June 1, 1985, to 3 cities using BAe Jetstream 31 aircraft. Within six months, Express Airlines I was operating in ten markets using nine Jetstream 31s and two Saab 340 aircraft.
On December 15, 1985, a second contract opened operations at a Republic Airlines home base at Minneapolis-St. Paul. By its first anniversary, Republic Express was operating 20 Jetstream 31s and seven Saab 340s in 32 markets. In Spring 1986, Northwest Airlines announced the acquisition of Republic, which was completed on October 1, 1986, following regulatory and shareholder approvals.
Over the next decade, Express I provided airline services to 56 cities in the Southeast and upper Mid-West. In 1997, Northwest Airlines elected to make changes in the structure of Express I, which was a privately held company. On April 1, 1997, Express I became a wholly owned subsidiary of Northwest Airlines. In order to consolidate the many Airlink systems operated at that time, Express I transferred flying at Minneapolis-St. Paul, allowing it to concentrate on the Memphis Hub.
In August 1997, Express I moved its corporate headquarters to Memphis, allowing all the various departments to function from its main base of operations. On 7 May 1999, Express I announced a major transition into the jet age as its parent company announced that Express would be the launch operator of the Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ) at Northwest. This award was for a minimum of 42 CRJs designated to operate as Northwest Jet Airlink. Delivery of the CRJs began in April 2000 and the first Northwest CRJ lifted into the sky on June 1, 2000, bound for Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP). The first CRJ (N8390A) was named "The Spirit of Memphis Belle," although it has since been repainted into Delta Connection colors, but the title "The Spirit of Memphis Belle" still remains painted on the forward part of the fuselage. Express I changed its name to Pinnacle Airlines on May 8, 2002.
Current operations[edit]
Northwest agreed with Pinnacle on a new Air Service Agreement (ASA) on December 21, 2006. The agreement contracted Pinnacle to fly 124 CRJs until 2017. A clause within the ASA stipulates that if Pinnacle and Air Line Pilots Association did not agree on a new pilot contract by 31 March 2007, then Northwest could remove up to 17 CRJs from Pinnacle's fleet. After the deadline passed with no new pilot contract, Northwest exercised its right to remove 17 CRJs from Pinnacle, starting in September 2008 at a rate of two CRJs per month. Ironically, these 17 CRJs were removed from Pinnacle and handed over to Mesaba Airlines in 2008, which Pinnacle acquired in 2010.
Northwest had also allowed Pinnacle to seek flying from other carriers. On April 30, 2007, Pinnacle Airlines Corp. signed a 10-year contract with Delta Air Lines to be a Delta Connection carrier. The 16 Bombardier CRJ 900's began delivery in November 2007 and the deliveries were completed in May 2009. The first batch of delivered aircraft were based in Atlanta and began service in December 2007. On June 10, 2008 Pinnacle announced that Delta planned to withdraw from the contract by 31 July 2008 for failure to make its timetable. However, on July 18, 2008 Delta announced that an agreement had been reached that would allow Pinnacle to continue flying for Delta under the terms of the initial contract. The remaining 4 CRJ-900s would be delivered between January and May 2009, at which point all 15 CRJ-900s would be in service for Delta Connection.[8]
On January 18, 2007, Colgan Air, Inc. was acquired by Pinnacle Airlines Corporation for $20 million. Under the terms of the purchase, Colgan's regional aircraft fleet continued to operate independently of Pinnacle Airlines Corporation's major subsidiary, Pinnacle Airlines Inc..
On July 1, 2010, Delta Air Lines sold its wholly owned subsidiary Mesaba Aviation Inc. to Memphis-based Pinnacle in a $62 million transaction. Mesaba's fleet consisted of 41 CRJ-900's and 18 CRJ-200's, while downsizing its fleet of Saab 340 aircraft. The addition of Mesaba caused Pinnacle to announce that of an asset transfer, where all the jets operating for both carriers would become part of Pinnacle Airlines Inc.. The Colgan operating certificate would be renamed Mesaba and the Mesaba operating certificate would be phased out. This never came to fruition, and all pilots flying for Mesaba and Colgan eventually became pilots for Memphis-based Pinnacle Airlines Inc.
On February 24, 2012, Pinnacle invoked a 5% permanent pay cut for all pilots – a move which CEO Sean Menke insisted was necessary to prevent the company from filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.[9] Less than a month later on March 21 of 2012 however, Menke was given a 60% pay raise from $425,000 to $675,000 along with executive vice president John Spanjers receiving a 45% raise from $275,000 to $400,000.[10] Ten days later, Pinnacle filed for Chapter 11 on April 1, 2012.[11]
The airline has 8,000 employees (at May 2012 – number previous its Chapter 11 restructuring).[12]
In January 2013, Delta Air Lines reached a deal to buy Pinnacle Airlines after the Pinnacle emerged from bankruptcy protection.[13] Later that month, Pinnacle announced plans to move its headquarters from Memphis, TN to Minneapolis, MN by May 2013.[14] In April 2013, Pinnacle won approval of their Chapter 11 reorganization plan that would allow them to emerge from bankruptcy as a wholly owned Delta Air Lines subsidiary and move the business to Minnesota. Pinnacle's agreements with Delta call for it to operate 81 70-seat regional jets post-bankruptcy and eliminate 50-seat jets.[15]
On June 26, 2013, it was announced that Pinnacle Airlines would be rebranded as Endeavor Air.[16]
The headquarters is in Delta Air Lines Building C on the property of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.[17][18] The airline was scheduled to occupy five floors in Building C. The headquarters had moved from Memphis, Tennessee.[4]

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petition[edit]
On 1 April 2012, Pinnacle Airlines Corp., the parent of Pinnacle Airlines Inc., along with its other subsidiaries including Colgan Air, Inc., filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.[1][20] The airline planned to discontinue its operation of its Saab 340 and Bombardier Q400 turboprop aircraft by the end of November 2012.[1] The Q400s flying for United Express were picked up by Republic Airlines for United.
Endeavor Air is a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines. Flying as Delta Connection, it operates 162 regional jets on 850 daily flights to more than 100 cities in the United States and Canada.[21]
As of June 30, 2014, the Endeavor Air fleet includes the following aircraft:[22]
|Bombardier CRJ-200
|Bombardier CRJ-900
Delta's current fleet plan for Endeavor Air is 81 CRJ-900's. Twenty eight CRJ-900's are scheduled for delivery in 2014. The CRJ-200 jets began being phased out in summer 2013.[23] All CRJ-200s will be retired or returned to lessors by the end of 2014.
Endeavor Air has seven maintenance bases at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, Central Wisconsin Airport, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Des Moines International Airport, Fort Wayne International Airport, Greenville–Spartanburg International Airport, McGhee Tyson Airport and Indianapolis International Airport. The company's maintenance base at Memphis International Airport was closed during Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and additional Endeavor Air maintenance bases may close in the near future due to the planned fleet downsizing from 181 to 81 aircraft and the closings of the Atlanta and Memphis pilot/flight attendant bases.
Incidents and accidents[edit]
- Flight 3701 was a Bombardier CRJ200 with a crew of two operating a re-position flight (with no passengers) from Little Rock, Arkansas, to Minneapolis, Minnesota. It crashed on October 14, 2004, in a residential area in Jefferson City, Missouri, due to the flight crew pushing the plane past its capabilities and ignoring warnings. Both pilots were killed.[24]
- Flight 4712 was a Bombardier CRJ200LR from Minneapolis that overran the runway when landing at Cherry Capital Airport (TVC), Traverse City, Michigan. The plane was damaged, but no one was injured. The NTSB determined that the cause of the accident was the "pilots' decision to land at TVC without performing a landing distance assessment" which in turn was caused by fatigued pilots and unclear directions from the TVC controller tower. The report recommended more landing distance training, post-accident drug testing, and further criteria for runway closures in snow and ice conditions.[25]
- The FAA fined Pinnacle over $1 million for allegedly operating two Canadair Regional Jets in 2009 and 2010 that were not in compliance with FAA regulations. On one of the aircraft, the flight crew performed procedures which should have been conducted by maintenance personnel; FAA inspectors had denied a request to make the work an operations task. On a second aircraft, Pinnacle is accused of failing to conduct proper monitoring of a cracked low-pressure turbine case.
- An Endeavor Air Bombardier CRJ200 from Toronto Pearson Airport, with 35 persons on board, slid off the taxiway while exiting the runway on arrival at John F. Kennedy International Airport on January 5, 2014. The airport was closed shortly afterward because of ice and snow.[26]

A man taken in by a Worth County couple is accused of setting the fire that killed a man and badly burned another person in the home.
31 year-old Michael Carlisle is charged with murder and arson.
The State Insurance Commissioner's office says Carlisle lived in the home with the couple. Neighbors say Carlisle lived with the two a short time. They tell us the couple often took in boarders who needed a home. Authorities did not reveal a motive in the arson murder nor how they believe the fire was set. 50 year-old Gregory Fulghum, who was disabled, died in the mobile home on Fortune Street. Flames broke out around 6 o'clock Friday morning. 64 year-old Betty Booth was burned and is hospitalized in an Augusta burn center. Carlisle is being held in the Worth County Jail.
It was likely an electrical short that sparked a deadly early morning fire in Worth County. A disabled man was killed in the blaze, his wife was badly injured.
Investigators are searching through the charred rubble to figure out just what happened.
When firefighters arrived at the mobile home on Fortune Road, it was engulfed in flames. They were able to rescue Betty Booth Jackson, but her husband was already dead.
As firefighters worked tirelessly to put out the fire, neighbors watched from their nearby porches, hearts hurting for their beloved friends.
"It's hurtful, it's very hurtful to see someone's life just go up in flames," said Barbara Crosby, who has lived across the street for nearly two years.
When Betty Booth Jackson screamed for help, she did all she could. "She was distraught, devastated, she wanted us to help her get her vehicle over here so it didn't make it worse."
Officials say the flames sparked early Friday morning but by the time firefighters arrived, it was too late. "The call came in at 5:48 and they were dispatched out here and they found the trailer on fire and I was called about 6:30 from 9-11, saying they was a possible fatality inside," said Worth County Coroner Johnny Johnson.
And 9-11 was right. Fifty year old Greg Fulghum's body was removed from the home hours after the fire was put out. His wife, Betty, was rushed to the hospital with burns and smoke inhalation. "She woke up choking on smoke and she tried to go in there and get her husband off the couch and he was in a wheelchair, he was paralyzed from his neck down," said Crosby.
And while Betty Booth Jackson was too late to rescue her husband from the flames, she managed to save her three dogs and two goats from the property. Worth County Animal Control responded and say they'll be taking care of the animals free of charge.
"We don't charge in this kind of situation, it's a tragedy, so yes we'll just hold onto them," said Sherri Hendley of Worth County Animal Control.
Neighbors say anyone who is interested in making donations to Mrs. Booth can contact New Life of Albany where they are taking clothing, food, and monetary donations.
That mobile home is in Western Worth County, not far from Highway 300.

» Newsletter Archives
Happy Spring! An update on the status of the Section as we move into the Summer months…
This year's Annual Meeting will take place Nov. 4-8 in Boston and has the theme of "Public Health and Human Rights." This year, abstract submissions to the Mental Health Section not only held steady but increased by 5 percent! I would like to personally extend thanks to all those who served on the Review Committee — your efforts are invaluable to the program planning process and help make our program stronger every year. I would also like to acknowledge the work of David Mandell, who is being assisted by Joe Goulet, in the program planning process. David has provided a brief summary of program highlights later in the newsletter. In a related note, this year's Annual Meeting falls on Election Day. Please make a note to register to vote with an absentee ballot (unless you are from Boston!).
I am repeating myself from the last Newsletter, however, one of our key issues this year is membership. The good news is that we are holding pretty steady: we had 663 primary members on Jan. 10, and we have 658 as of today, May 12. Also in good news, we have a new Membership Committee, chaired by Judy Samuels, and also including John Lawless, Gary Cuddeback, and Jaime Marra. They are working toward developing a membership plan for the section. Membership is absolutely crucial to our section — it determines our budget, the strength of our voice on Governing Council, and the number of slots we get for sessions at the Annual Meeting, among other things. Therefore, once again I would urge every section member to log on to the APHA Web site and check your contact information and status of membership — even if you think it's correct. It only takes a few minutes, but could make a world of difference to the section. To check membership, go to the site http://www.apha.org/intro_private.cfm and click inside the box on the right that says "Where can I find my Member ID?" ('cause let's face it, who remembers their APHA member ID?). APHA will then, in a few moments, e-mail you your id, password, and date of member expiration. At the same Web address, click on "Log in now" and log in — then click on "Update your Member Record" (blue box on the right). Check everything, and if you make changes don't forget to hit the "Submit Changes" button at the bottom of the screen. If your membership is expired or expiring soon, hit the purple "Join/Renew" button on the left of the screen. If APHA does not recognize your e-mail address when you request your ID, don't give up! Write to email@example.com to update your e-mail address. If you don't, you may not get important information from us, because we rely on APHA's e-mail lists. Nine times out of 10, if you have not heard from us, it is because the e-mail address on record is wrong.
APHA is currently drafting a pandemic flu policy. As part of this process, each section was asked to draft a section of the policy relevant to its area of expertise. Luckily, we have among our members some of the top experts in disaster mental health in the country, and I called upon them to help draft the Mental Health Section policy. They graciously agreed, and the policy was prepared by a team from the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress at the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine and the CDC. There is an executive summary of the mental health section policy statement later in the newsletter. If you would like a full-length copy of the policy please e-mail me at email@example.com.
We will be having our mid-year meeting on the phone. The call will be on Friday, July 14 from 2 to 4 p.m., Eastern Standard Time. I will provide a toll-free call-in number, password, and an agenda as the call comes closer. Any section member is welcome to participate, however, those holding elected seats and other 'senior' members of the section are particularly encouraged to call in. By the time this newsletter is released I will be on maternity leave. However, I will be in e-mail contact and will be returning on July 10. So, please feel free to continue to contact me about section matters.

This year's program promises to be an engaging one. Abstract submissions were up for the Mental Health Section. This speaks well to the enthusiasm, productivity and commitment of our members. After a very competitive review process, topics for this year's sessions will include: coercion, parity, evidence based practices, consumer involvement and empowerment, issues in children's mental health, as well as a range of research on health and social conditions that frequently co-occur among or affect individuals with mental health problems.
We are very excited to have an invited panel to address the theme of this year's APHA meeting – human rights – as it pertains to mental health. This panel, organized and conceptualized by Martin Gittleman, will include Steven Scharfstein, MD, president of the American Psychiatric Association, and Robert Rosenheck, MD, professor of psychiatry and epidemiology and public health at Yale University.
We will have a number of new programmatic elements this year. A number of student members of the Section will be invited to present posters at the social, which will provide a greater opportunity for networking and feedback on their research. In partnership with NIMH, we will conduct a professional development workshop for pre- and postdoctoral trainees (and possibly junior faculty). More details will follow soon. I would welcome input and inquiries from anyone who would like to participate in any capacity. I will be contacting senior members of the Section shortly to ask them to act as a mentor during the workshops.
The program will be finalized over the next few weeks and decisions sent out by e-mail to all authors. Our program reviewers deserve special thanks for their hard work, thoughtful comments and timely submission of reviews, which resulted in our being able to get some extra session slots to accommodate more great submissions. Thank you to everyone who submitted an abstract and participated in making this a very strong and timely program.
The Rema Lapouse Award recipient for 2006 is Felton James Earls, professor of child psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and professor of human behavior and development at the Harvard School of Public Health. Hailing from New Orleans, "Tony" Earls received a medical degree from Howard University and completed a residency in general psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital and in child psychiatry at Children's Hospital in Boston. He was a postdoctoral fellow in neurophysiology at the University of Wisconsin and at Harvard Medical School.
Before returning to Harvard, he was Blanche F. Ittleson Professor of Child Psychiatry and director of the Division of Child Psychiatry at Washington University, St Louis. He has held visiting appointments at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and adjunct positions at Rockefeller University and the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health. Dr. Earls is currently Principal Investigator of the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods and a Project on the Ecology of HIV/AIDS and Child Mental Health in Tanzania. He has been funded by the NIMH, NIAAA, NIJ, and the Catherine T MacArthur Foundation on epidemiological work focusing on such topics as the impact of violence, disasters, and parental substance abuse on children. There have been over 200 publications, over half appearing in peer-reviewed journals, and seven books on child psychopathology.
Asked to explain his training for a life in the laboratory and his subsequent work in epidemiology, he replied that the events of the 1960s including the untimely deaths of the Kennedys, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King as well as so many other deaths in Southeast Asia "propelled him to study and work in the community rather than the comfortable setting of the laboratory." As for his interest in children, Earls replied, "I can't understand why everyone does not do this at least some of the time. Recognizing the rights of children is a cardinal principle of life."
He has served on numerous committees, directorships, and advisory councils. Dr. Earls is a Fellow of the American Academy of Art and Sciences and Member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. Dr. Earls serves on the Board of Directors of Physicians for Human Rights, the Committee on Human Rights at the National Academy of Sciences and is director of the Harvard-South Africa Fellows Program. A member of many professional societies, he serves on the editorial boards of numerous professional journals. Previous awards have included: Distinguished Psychiatrist Award and the Blanche F. Ittleson Award from the American Psychiatric Association; Dale Richmond Award from the Academy of Pediatrics; Honorary Doctorate of Science from Northwestern University; and the William Lawson Research Award from Black Psychiatrists of America.
The Rema Lapouse Committee (comprised of Elizabeth Jane Costello, Ronald C. Kessler, Nan Laird, and Anthony Kouzis representing the Epidemiology, Statistics, and Mental Health Sections of the American Public Health Association) is pleased with the acceptance of Dr. Felton Earls of this award. We are eager to see Dr Earls at the Annual Meeting in Boston, where he will present his special lecture Monday, Nov. 6, 2006, at 2:30 p.m.
Deadline: June 30, 2006

Maternal depression and its consequences for women, children and families is a devastating and an important public health issue. Each year nearly 800,000 women in the Untied States suffer from a major depression before or after giving birth. Postpartum depression (PPD) is a serious condition that affects not only a woman herself, but also her new baby, spouse, other children, family, friends and coworkers. Of particular concern is maternal depression's links to problems in children's health, mental health and development. The child of an untreated mother with PPD has three times the chance of suffering from major depression later in life. Unfortunately, women are frequently left feeling alone and confused when sadness, anxiety or other negative emotions emerge before or after childbirth.
The prevalence of chronic depression among women is higher during the childbearing years than it is at other stages of life. Women have twice the rate of depression as men. Among mothers of young children, estimates of the prevalence of depression range from 12 percent to 50 percent. The peak age of occurrence for depression among women is between 18 and 29 years - the prime childbearing years - and rates remain high through the age of 44. Only 15 percent of these patients receive any care at all. This is due to a combination of the lack of training of the physicians who care for them but of even more importance is the reluctance of these women to reveal the problems they are having because they fear being sent to mental hospital, jail or having their baby taken away. There is really no pure entity involved, and most of the patients have severe anxiety disorders and many disabling physical symptoms as well.
Fortunately these patients can be identified with a depression screening tool called the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale. It is well over 90 percent accurate. Even if patients don't go any farther at the time of testing due to their reluctance to expose themselves, the reading of the questions and the implications are the basis can be the basis for their coming to treatment on their own and having a much better idea that their struggle is not unique. Fortunately, chronic depression in mothers and postpartum depression can be effectively treated. Patients who receive the correct treatment have over a 90 percent recovery rate. Yet conventional efforts at diagnosis and treatment often fail because primary caregivers, including OB/GYN's, pediatricians, family practitioners and others do not have the time or training to address this issue. Additionally, women suffering PPD fear that if what they are experiencing is known, they may be sent to a psychiatric hospital or jail, or they may have their babies removed from their custody. Their mistrust isolates them because they believe they are the only mother who is "so bad."
Role of Family Mental Health Institute (FMHI)
Despite the prevalence of PPD and its dangerous consequences, the public is generally unaware of its severity and those women with PPD often suffer in isolation. In 2002 The Family Mental Health Foundation (new successor Institute 2005) was launched in an effort to increase public awareness of postpartum depression, help the affected women receive peer support and professional care, implement depression-screening programs and conduct professional education and research. FMHI's vision is to make universal depression screening for all new mothers and mothers-to-be a standard of care in the United States. Presently, there is no national campaign on PPD -- no unified message, call to action, or national strategy to convey the seriousness of this issue nor is there any comprehensive plan to eradicate the problem. Treatment for PPD often entails a combination of medication with psychotherapy and counseling. This combination therapy has proven to be effective in 90 percent of the cases studied. Women are able to reclaim their lives and begin enjoying their families and friends again. It has been shown that the children of women who have been successfully treated show definite improvement.
We helped the National Naval Medical Center design and implement a program of universal screening of all prenatal and postpartum women. This involved four departments of the hospital; OB, Pediatrics, Psychology and Social Work. It was so successful it has become the standard of care throughout the United States Navy. The state of New Jersey just passed a law mandating depression screening and counseling for new mothers. Our Second Annual PPD Screening and Awareness Campaign will include a Capitol Hill Briefing for Hill staff, with honored guest speaker and patient advocate, Edrienne Carpenter. We will follow the briefing with a Tea, "Get Screened, Get Treated, Get Well," at the APHA, under the aegis of Dr. Barbara Hatcher, APHA's director of global education.
Prepared by a team from the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress, Uniformed Services University School of Medicine: Robert Ursano, MD; Derrick Hamaoka, MD; David Benedek, MD; Nancy Vineburgh, MA; Carol Fullerton, PhD; Harry Holloway, MD; and Dori Reissman of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It is only relatively recently that attention has been focused on the mental health impact of disasters. Previously, concerns related to immediate physical health and community infrastructure risks in the aftermath of disasters had overwhelmed considerations of the short- and long-term mental health consequences of disasters, or the extent to which mental health played a role in the impact of a disaster. In the arena of the health impact of natural disasters, the majority of data available relate to weather or geologic events. In contrast, there is almost no data on the mental health impacts of outbreaks of disease.

Effects of Ethnicity on the Globalization Process
In the recent years, the globalization process has been challenged worldwide by several forces the most serious of which is that of ethnicity which has found expression as patriotism, self determination and ethnic chauvinism. This paper examines the globalization process and ethnic nationalism in contemporary era to see how the forces of ethnicity have affected the globalization process. The paper finds that ethnic sentiment aims at protecting the sovereignty of the countries involved, giving their nationals a greater control over their national economies and those of other nations, and is therefore expressed by both the developed and the developing nations. The paper concludes that aggressive national posture can only be removed or reduced if the globalization process gives the people a reasonable degree of control over their development, and, if the barriers are removed against the movement of people from the developing nations to the developed.

Two million and two hundred fifty thousand dollars.
That's how much the two sides in the Linn County casino vote have spent trying to persuade voters leading up to the March 5 vote.
Campaign spending reports filed Thursday afternoon with the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board show the "yes" campaign outspent the "no" campaign two-to-one.
Reports show "Vote Yes Linn County" spent $1,483,314.79, while "Just Say No Casino" spent $727,977.65.
Investors from Steve Gray's Cedar Rapids Development Group poured in more than $1.5 million in contributions to "Vote Yes." The filed report shows "Vote Yes" still has more than $120,000 in unpaid bills.
Meanwhile, "Just Say No" received just over $750,000 in contributions, $600,000 of which came from the Riverside Casino and Golf Resort, and $150,000 of which came from the Isle Casino and Hotel in Waterloo.
Most of the money has been spent on local television ads.

This post is sponsored by Disneynature's "Bears," in theaters April 18.
In addition to showing off the beauty of the national park where it filmed, Disneynature's Bears will also donate money to the parks.
The film, set in Alaska, will help support the National Park Foundation. For every ticket sold during opening week, April 18-24, Disneynature will make a contribution to the foundation to support conservation efforts in national parks focused on wildlife protection, habitat restoration and conservation research and education.
Actor John C. Reilly, who narrates the film, said that was a reason he joined Bears.
"What really drew me to the project was the fact that Disneynature was so supportive of animals that need protection," Reilly says in the video above. "I think anyone who sees the film will be inspired to support the national parks because there's an emotional component that stays with you for a long time."

Price hit Nashville in the early 1950s, rooming for a short time with Hank Williams. When Williams died, Price took over Williams' band, the Drifting Cowboys, and had minor success. He was the first artist to have a hit with "Release Me" (1953), a song made famous by Engelbert Humperdinck in 1967. However, Price became one of the stalwarts of the grinding, honky tonk music that became even more popular in the early 1950s with such singers as Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Webb Pierce and others.

so apparently in the 30 minute uncut version of the interview… Kyung was being serious talking about how Block B actually donates $200 of their paycheck for Thai BBC and it wasn't until the end of that conversation that Zico said he only has $7 on him and this whole thing is because barely any fans can speak Korean and were relying on false translations. Great.
lastly… Nickhun you're a good guy, but you also messed up because you should know how nasty fans can get and you should've known better to practically unleash hottest on Block B. You are at fault too no matter what. Your dongsaeng did not deserve this harsh of a punishment.

The Phillies dropped two of three against the Giants this weekend, losing the first two games before getting a walkoff win on a Rollins single in the tenth yesterday afternoon.
In the series opener, Worley started the sixth with the score tied 1-1. Brandon Crawford hit a grand slam off of him in a five-run frame and the Giants went on to win 7-2. Hamels took a 5-4 lead into the eighth in game two, but San Francisco tied things up on a solo shot by Melky Cabrera and won it 5-4 in the tenth when Cabrera scored on Gregor Blanco's bunt.
Yesterday Blanton pitched well, Mayberry homered twice and the Phils won 4-3 on walkoff single by Rollins.
After going 4-1 in their first five games to start the second half, the Phils are 1-3 over their last four.
The Phils lost the first two games in the set due mostly to shaky starting pitching. Hamels and Worley combined to allow 11 earned runs in 13 2/3 innings. Blanton was good yesterday, though, and the Phils got an outstanding performance from their wretched bullpen as their relievers combined to throw four scoreless innings in the game.
The Phillies are 42-54 on the year after beating the San Francisco Giants 4-3 in 12 innings yesterday. The Giants take the series two games to one. The Phillies are in last place in the NL East, 14 games out of first place.
Blanton got the start for the Phillies and went eight innings, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk. Five of the hits went for extra-bases, three doubles and a walk. He struck out six.
Second good outing in a row for Blanton. He has allowed five runs over 16 innings his last two times out and gone eight innings in each start.
Nate Schierholtz was the first batter of the game and he hit a 2-0 pitch from Blanton out to right, putting the Giants up 1-0. Blanton struck out Ryan Theriot before Melky Cabrera doubled to left. Buster Posey grounded to third and Pablo Sandoval flew to center to leave Cabrera stranded.
The game was tied at 1-1 when Blanton set San Francisco down in order in the second. He struck out Angel Pagan, got Brandon Crawford on a ground ball to first and Brandon Belt on a fly ball to right.
Blanton got pitcher Barry Zito and Schierholtz and Theriot behind him in a 1-2-3 third.
Posey singled with one out in the fourth and scored when Sandoval followed with a double to center, putting the Giants up 2-1. Pagan and Crawford both grounded out to leave Sandoval stranded.
It was 2-2 when Blanton set San Francisco down in order in the fifth and again in the sixth.
Pagan singled with one out in the seventh, but was caught stealing before Crawford flew to center for the third out.
Blanton got the first two hitters in the eighth with the Phils up 3-2 — Gregor Blanco hit for Zito and struck out swinging for the second out after Belt grounded to short for the first out. Schierholtz was next, though, and he homered again, hitting a 2-1 pitch out to left to put the Giants back up at 3-2. Theriot followed that with a double and Blanton walked Theriot intentionally. Posey flew to right on a running basket catch by Pence on the warning track to leave both runners stranded.
Bastardo stuck out the side in a 1-2-3 ninth.
Bastardo was pitching for the second day in a row after getting one out in game two of the set. He's allowed one hit while striking out six in three scoreless innings over his last five appearances, dropping his ERA on the year from 5.34 to 4.83.
Horst struck out the lefty Belt for the first out in the tenth. Righty Justin Christian hit for the pitcher Sergio Romo and singled to center. The lefty Schierholtz flew to Pence for the second out and Kendrick took over to face the righty Theriot. Christian stole second before Theriot fouled out to Ruiz to end the frame.
Horst has a 1.12 ERA and a 1.00 ratio after nine appearances.
Kendrick walked Sandoval with two outs in the eleventh. Pagan flew to left to leave him stranded.
Crawford doubled to center off of Kendrick to start the twelfth. Kendrick struck out Belt on a bunch of pitches off the plate for the first out. Switch-hitter Emmanuel Burriss hit for the pitcher Clay Hensley and Kendrick struck him out on a bunch of pitches off the plate for the second. Kendrick walked the lefty home run machine Schierholtz intentionally to put two men on for Theriot. Theriot flew to left to leave them both stranded.
Another outstanding bullpen performance from Kendrick. His last start was on July 6. Since then he has appeared four times in relief and thrown 5 2/3 scoreless innings. That's an enormous boost for a terrible bullpen.
Overall the pen went four scoreless innings in the game, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out six. Kendrick threw 40 pitches, so don't expect to see him anytime soon. Bastardo threw 13 pitches in the game and has thrown two days in a row. Horst threw 12 pitches.
The Phillies lineup against lefty Barry Zito went (1) Rollins (2) Victorino (3) Utley (4) Howard (5) Pence (6) Polanco (7) Mayberry (8) Kratz. Utley and Howard both in the lineup against the lefty. Mayberry in lefty and Kratz catching the day game for Ruiz.
Down 1-0 in the bottom of the first, Victorino walked with one out and scored on a triple to right center from Utley. 1-1. Howard was hit by a pitch, but Pence grounded into a double-play to end the inning.
Both lefties reach base against Zito in the frame. Phils don't score again after putting a man on third with one out.
The Phils went in order in the second.
Blanton and Rollins singled back-to-back to start the third, putting runners on first and second with nobody out. Victorino flew to center for the first out. Utley grounded to first with Rollins forced at second for the second. Utley stole second before Howard struck out swinging to leave the runners on second and third.
No run for the Phils after putting two men on with nobody out to start the inning.
Down 2-1, Pence and Polanco went down to start the fourth before Mayberry hit a 3-2 pitch out to left. 2-2. Kratz flew to left to set the Phillies down.
The Phils went in order in the fifth.
Pence reached on a throwing error by Sandoval with two outs in the sixth. Polanco grounded to third for the third out.
Mayberry hit the first pitch he saw in the seventh inning out to left for his second home run of the day, putting the Phillies up 3-2. The Phils went in order behind him.
Second multi-homer game of Mayberry's career. The other was July 6, 2011.
Lefty Javier Lopez started the bottom of the eighth with the game tied at 3-3. Victorino led off with a single, but Utley hit into a double-play behind him. Howard struck out swinging for the third out.
Polanco singled off of righty Sergio Romo with one out in the ninth. Mayberry struck out for the second out. Ruiz hit for Kratz and flew to right for the third.
Lefty Jeremy Affeldt set the Phillies down in order in the tenth. Nix, double-switched into the game in the top of the inning, struck out swinging for the first out.
First at-bat for Nix since May 9. His injury hurt the Phillies, forcing Mayberry and Wigginton to get way more at-bats against righties than they should have. Mayberry is hitting 208/272/272 against righties for the year in 136 plate appearances. Wigginton 247/293/361 in 181. That's really not what you're looking for from first basemen or corner outfielders.
Pence singled off of Affeldt with two outs in the eleventh. Righty Clay Hensley came in to pitch to Polanco and got him on a ground ball to third for the third out.
Righty Brad Penny started the twelfth for the Giants. Wigginton hit for Kendrick and hammered a ball to right, but Schierholtz took it running into the wall in right for the first out. Ruiz followed that with a walk and moved to third when Nix singled into right. Rollins was next and lined a single into center, scoring Ruiz to give the Phils a 4-3 win.
Rollins was 2-for-6 with an RBI in the game. 3-for-14 with a walk and three singles in the series. 256/313/409 for the year. Hitters batting #1 in the lineup for the Phillies have on-based .318 for the season, which is ninth-best in the NL.
Victorino 1-for-4 with a walk. 3-for-12 with a walk in the series. 253/317/387 for the season.
Utley 1-for-5 with a triple and an RBI. 3-for-12 with a triple and a home run in the set. On-basing .231 so far against lefties (in 26 plate appearances). 231/292/400 in 72 plate appearances for the year.
Howard 0-for-4 and struck out three times. 2-for-11 with a walk and two home runs in the series. 182/325/485 in 40 plate appearances.
Pence 1-for-5 with a strikeout. 1-for-12 with a walk in the series. 5-for-his-last-39 (.128). 271/338/457 for the season.
Polanco 1-for-5 to drop his average to .255 on the year. 2-for-9 with a walk and a double in the series. 255/300/328 for the season. 6-for-his-last-49 (.122) with three walks and a double. 211/265/322 against lefties for the season.
Mayberry 2-for-4 with two solo home runs. 2-for-5 in the series. 237/274/397 on the year. Seven of his eight home runs have come against lefties and about 43% of his plate appearances. 208/272/272 against righties and 273/277/556 against lefties. Among the 95 NL players with 75 plate appearances against lefties for the season, Mayberry's isolated power of .283 is ninth-best and tops among the Phillies.
Kratz was 0-for-3 and struck out twice. 2-for-10 on the year with two home runs.
Halladay (4-5, 3.96) faces lefty Randy Wolf (3-6, 5.60) tonight. Halladay allowed two runs in five innings against the Dodgers in his first start since returning from the DL. Righties are hitting 330/379/533 against Wolf for the season.

|2014 U.S. Open Cup
The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is a knockout tournament in American soccer. It is the oldest ongoing national soccer competition in the U.S. and the world's third-longest-running open soccer tournament.[1] It is open to all United States Soccer Federation affiliated teams, from amateur adult club teams to the professional clubs of Major League Soccer.
The Open Cup was first held in 1913–14, when it was called the National Challenge Cup.
The defending Open Cup champions are D.C. United, who beat Real Salt Lake 1–0 in the 2013 final. It was D.C. United's first title since 2008. They were eliminated in the 2014 tournament in the fourth round (round of 32) by Rochester Rhinos of the USL PRO league.
The overall champion earn a total of $250,000 (up from $100,000 in recent years) in prize money. The tournament runner-up receive $60,000 (up from $50,000) and the team that advances the furthest from each lower division will win $15,000 (up from $10,000).[2]
The competition dates back to 1913-14, when it was known as the National Challenge Cup. In 1999, U.S. Soccer honored one of American soccer's most important patrons, Lamar Hunt, by changing the official title of the tournament to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. The winners of the tournament were awarded the Dewar Cup, donated by Sir Thomas Dewar for the promotion of soccer in America in 1912, until it was retired due to poor condition in 1979. It was brought back into use by the United States Adult Soccer Association in 1997, but is now back on permanent display at the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Oneonta, New York, and the recent winners of the tournament have been awarded a new, different trophy. Despite this, the name of each winning club is still added to the base of the original Dewar Cup.
The National Challenge Cup was the first truly national cup competition in the United States, as previous cups had been effectively relegated to regional status by the difficulties in coordination and travel caused by the size of the United States in the early 1900s. While U.S. Soccer had initially administered the competition, in 1985 they handed over management to the USASA. In 1995, U.S. Soccer resumed its administration of the competition.[3]
Maccabi Los Angeles of California and Bethlehem Steel of Pennsylvania have both won the cup a record five times, while Greek American AA of New York and Seattle Sounders FC are tied for the record for most consecutive cup victories at three. Most of these records are likely to fall over time, now that Major League Soccer offers a fully professional league, and its teams typically dominate the competition. The old NASL did not participate in the Open Cup.[4]
Since MLS' debut in 1996, MLS clubs have won the cup in all but one of those years. The Rochester Rhinos of the 2nd division A-League were surprise winners in 1999, defeating four MLS clubs, including the Colorado Rapids 2–0 in the championship match. The first professional team to win in the modern era were the Richmond Kickers of the USISL (the predecessor to the A-League, USL First Division, and USL Pro) in 1995, one year before the start of MLS. D.C. United were the first MLS team to win in 1996.
Through the 2011 edition, eight teams from each level of the American Soccer Pyramid took part in the competition proper, with each league narrowing its delegation separately in the spring before the competition officially began in the summer. In some cases, additional teams played in qualifying rounds to gain entry. One example was found with MLS clubs, as only the top six from the previous regular season received automatic bids, while the bottom U.S.-based MLS teams faced each other to qualify for the remaining two MLS slots.
Beginning in 2012, the competition was expanded from its previous 40 teams to 64, with the qualifying process radically changed. The National Premier Soccer League received six places, plus the possibility of a seventh in a playoff against a team from the amateur US Club Soccer setup. Nine clubs from the USASA earned places, as did 16 USL Premier Development League teams. Each of these organizations has its own qualifying process to determine its entrants. These 32 teams competed in the first round of the Cup, with the winners meeting all 16 USL Pro and NASL teams in the second round. The 16 U.S.-based MLS teams entered in the third round.
In 2013 the competition was expanded to 68 teams. All U.S. based Division I, II and III teams will participate in the tournament proper: 16 from Major League Soccer, six from the North American Soccer League and 12 from USL PRO. The remaining 34 spots in the tournament field will be filled by amateur teams from the Adult Council category. There will be 16 from the Premier Development League, eight from U.S. Adult Soccer Association regional qualifying, eight from the National Premier Soccer League, one from US Club Soccer and one from the United States Specialty Sports Association.
The process for determining the site for the Open Cup tournament semifinals and final was changed in 2013. In past years, the sites for the final three matches of the tournament had been determined through a sealed-bid process, but this year the hosts of those games will be determined by a coin flip. Home teams throughout the entire tournament will be determined by random selection.[2]
Since 2008, the champion of the U.S. Open Cup has earned the right to play in the CONCACAF Champions League.[5] The first team to represent the U.S. as Open Cup champion was 2007's winner, the New England Revolution.
Through the 2011 U.S. Open Cup the USSF used sealed bids to award home matches,[6] which resulted in wealthier clubs being able to outbid smaller teams. From 2007 to 2011, MLS side DC United hosted 17 straight matches including two finals from 2008–2010 and MLS side Seattle Sounders FC hosted 11 of 14 matches in its three championship seasons.
In response, the USSF revamped the bid process, opting for a simple coin toss to decide each games host all the way through the final.[7]
