When Kenny Macklin was in third grade in 1956, he and his mother left their East Orange, N.J., home to visit the place where his mother grew up in rural Virginia.
At a five-and-ten luncheonette, after they sat at a table to eat, a black employee, instructed by a white supervisor who stood by watching, told his mother, "I'm sorry Miss, colored people not allowed to eat here," and the employee pointed them to a stand-up counter in the corner.
His mother moved to obey, saying, "Come on, Butch, [his childhood nickname], let's go."

Penn State Altoona admissions
director Kenny Macklin holds a photo of himself with his college housemates from Florida State University at the grave site in Atlanta taken on the one year anniversary of King's death.
Before he complied, Kenny swept the salt, ketchup and mustard from the table to the floor. When they reached the counter, his mother told him, "I'm going to have some trouble out of you."
Macklin is 64 now, an employee of Penn State Altoona since 1991, starting as men's basketball coach. He is currently assistant director of admissions.
Among his responsibilities: recruiting minority students and counseling students on life issues.
He grew up at a time when the country was in ferment over civil rights. He was born in Newark, N.J., scene of one of the worst race riots in the nation's history, and he went to college in the deep South, the main battleground for civil rights.
He is an admirer of Martin Luther King, whose civil rights legacy and philosophy we celebrate today. But early on, he subscribed to a philosophy that competed with King's.
Many times, when Kenny was in the middle grades in school, he and his friends encountered Italian kids at the Boylan Street municipal pool in an Italian neighborhood in Newark, a 10-minute walk from home.
The Italians always fled the pool when the blacks went in, making a show of it, posturing, calling them derogatory names.
"I'll kick your ass," they would say. "Go back to where you belong."
The Italians usually outnumbered the blacks, so the blacks avoided fighting, when they could. But it wasn't always possible.
"Our stance was, if you put your hands on us, then we'll have to go [fight]," Macklin said.
Once, two or three Italians attacked him. He and his friends tried not to be the only ones to get hurt.
"The times it really scared me was when they had knives," Macklin said. "Many times you would find yourself running away to live another day."
When Macklin was a young man, the militant philosophy of the Black Panthers, Malcolm X, Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, Eldridge Cleaver and Dick Gregory appealed to him.
Their ideas "talked the most to my soul," he said.
But the militants' threat of violence and call to revolution scared some black people, Macklin said.
Their cause always seemed destined to defeat, because the white-dominated government had far more resources than the militants could ever muster.
Moreover, when Macklin eventually thought beyond their rhetoric, he realized he didn't want to commit murder.
The riots too were "scary."
"More people were attuned to loving your brother than to picking up a gun," he said.
The rise of blacks in American society - so that one of their own has become president - has especially apparent in sports.
But when Macklin was a sophomore at Florida State in the mid-1970s, he attended his first Florida State-Florida football game with friends from the basketball team. They were the only blacks in the rooting section. At some point during the first half, one of Macklin's teammates discovered that the fans behind him had burned holes in his shirt with cigarettes.
Macklin calmed the teammate and prevented a fight. At halftime, they went to the restroom, and there, Macklin found that they'd burned holes in his shirt too. So when they returned to their seats, they "slapped" the offending fans around a little.
"They were too meek to make it a brawl," he said.
One year at Florida State, the basketball team - seven of whose 12 members were black - refused to rise during the pre-game rendition of "Dixie," the Confederate anthem.
The fans hooted the N word and hollered demeaning epithets.
At halftime, as the Florida State players went through a passage towards the locker room, fans from above hooted and hollered some more, showering them with soda and pelting them with ice, popcorn, hot dogs and half-eaten buns.
The Georgia Tech players in front of them turned and added insults, and a fight broke out. Security officers broke up the fight, but in the second half, Florida State punished Georgia Tech, extending a rout that had begun in the first half by refusing to remove the starters.
"We kicked butt," Macklin said.
Another time at Florida State, Macklin was strolling with teammates in downtown Knoxville after watching a movie during a road trip for a game with Tennessee, when a white man came towards them brandishing a handgun, shouting the N word and accusing them of taking sandwiches from his truck.
Befuddled, they shouted, "What the [bleep]?" The man pointed his gun at Macklin from about 15 feet and fired. Macklin felt the bullet pass close by his head. They ran away. They didn't report the incident to police, because they had no confidence it would do any good.
Police at the time weren't "user friendly," Macklin said.
King's message ultimately overcame that of the militants.
His message resonated with black people - especially older ones - because church was the strongest institution in the black community, Macklin said. King was a churchman.
"Golden rule stuff," Macklin said. "Stuff we grew up with."
King's message reached "a lot of ears," all over the country and eventually all over the world.
When the nation saw passive marchers "hosed" and saw sheriffs deputies sic dogs on them, even white people grew enraged.
When they saw the open racism of the south exposed, that racism began to die in the "light of day," in the way all negativity and abuse tends to die in the light of day, Macklin said.
King's message "was pleasing to the ear," he said.
It resonated with Macklin, eventually.
"He was speaking to me, too," Macklin said.
"I think [King] would be proud of the situation today," said Don Witherspoon, president of the Blair County NAACP.
There are more black doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs and a black president.
The militant philosophy has died, he believes.
He's happy about that.
There was no "watershed moment" when Macklin began to believe King had it right. But it began after he stopped being "young, fresh and dumb," and after he left behind the aggressiveness he cultivated as a "jock."
Mainly, it came from revisiting King's "I have a dream" speech, he said.
The speech includes the passages: "Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred," and "We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence."
King also says:
"I have a dream that one daylittle black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers," King said.
"Playing together, living together, loving together," Macklin said. "Having babies together."
Militancy is "marvelous," but it "must not lead us to a distrust of all white people," King says.
"[King] had it right," Macklin said.
It was right because it was practical, he said, and because it was practical, it allowed for growth, he said.
He had grown by the time he came to live in Altoona, where he encountered store employees who followed him around on the presumption he was likely to steal.
"Profiling," he said.
He kept his response within the bounds of civility, "just kind of looking" at his shadowers to convey that "Hey man, you got the wrong one." He wasn't being threatened, he realized.
The appreciation of King came with maturity, he said.
"It sticks and it stays," he said. "Now we're like - living it."
One evening at Florida State, he was walking down the street with friends discussing injustices they routinely experienced or observed when they decided spontaneously to take over a campus building.
They entered the sociology building, chained and locked the doors, stayed there all night, worked up a list of demands and in the morning, refused to let university employees inside.
The college president, Pennsylvania native J. Stanley Marshall, negotiated and made concessions.
"He listened to us," Macklin said.
The sit-in resulted in the designation of a house for a black-student union and reforms connected with the cheerleading squad, which included a token black student whom the others ostracized. Even the locked-out employees turned around and went home, declining to make "a whole lot of to-do."
The students made concessions too.
"There was some loud talking at times," he said. But no one got hurt.
Macklin has changed, but he hasn't forgotten.
He's comfortable in his own skin, but "not a day goes by that I don't see myself as a black man" - a thought triggered by some internal or external stimulus. It can be as simple as the way someone looks at him, he said.
That frequent awareness of his own racial identity contrasts with the lack of awareness of white people, he believes.
"Most white men don't see themselves as white men," he said.
He doesn't regret his own racial awareness in himself, because it has made him what he is, he said.
But for many younger people, it's different now, and better, he feels.
There are black and white students at Penn State Altoona living with each other who think that's nothing special, he said.
"You bring up the topic of racism with them, and they look at you like the idea is crazy," he said.
Those are generally students from schools with diverse student populations, he said.
They hardly notice the color of each others' skin, he said.
His granddaughter "doesn't have a clue" about racism, he said.
The indifference to color is the fulfillment of King's "dream."

The college football rankings, in all likelihood, probably won't change a heck of a lot in Week 7, but some teams certainly felt the need to make a statement.
From Boise State's 50-point win over Fresno State on Thursday night, to Oklahoma's 55-17 dismantling of Texas in the Red River Rivalry on Saturday, to Oklahoma State putting up 70—70!—on Kansas, it was a weekend of big noise for some teams.
How that plays out in the rankings remains to be seen, but this was certainly a case of style points for some programs with an eye on next weekend—the all-important release of the first BCS rankings on Oct. 16.
In the meantime, AP No. 1 LSU just keeps on rolling with a 30-point win over Florida.
For all the latest rankings news and analysis, keep it here on Bleacher Report throughout the day and the rest of the season. This page will be updated below.

5 Childhood Traditions That Would Make Adult Life Awesome
There's one thing that the kid/parent switcharoo movies of the 1980s got right: Kids want nothing more than to be grown-ups and grown-ups want nothing more than to be kids, if only for a day to have some fun and stage an elaborate water balloon fight against a bully and his minions. That's what human kids do, right?
The Image Company / Getty
Of course these are water balloons, not the eggs of my people.
This time of year, juveniles of the world are heading back to school for new adventures and opportunities to be rascals, while adults are stuck in an endless montage of Dilbert panels. So why not carry some of those old back-to-school rituals with you into the adult world? Just because you're old enough to buy beer and have/buy sex doesn't mean things are all fun all the time.
#5. Summer Vacation
Smith Collection / Getty
One minute, summer vacation and all the promise and hopes and dreams attached to it is a staple of your childhood psyche. The next minute, it's gone. Losing summer is like losing an arm in a battle you don't remember having. Until the day you die, you're going to have phantom twinges of hope for a three-month holiday that is never ever coming.
What you might have forgotten was that having a fun summer took work. Think back. You had 90-ish days to fill up with your own agenda, but if you did any one thing for too long, it probably got old. Maybe one day you watched cartoons, another was spent learning sick yo-yo tricks, while the next day was all about painting faces on your toes and taking them to a shoebox techno club called "The Toe Hold" and watching them dance. Your brain was forced, maybe for the first time since your last summer vacation, to invent things to do, otherwise an adult would come up with something for you. Would you rather dust the hobo clown figurine collection or sit in your room and play endless variations of M*A*S*H all by yourself? It's an easy question with an easy answer.
How to Bring It Back
Surprise! When you're a grown-up, every night is summer vacation. Those same options that you had during long breaks are all still on the table until the day you die. Actually, I take that back. Once you're sporting a beard and driving around with a Domino's sign on your car, you should also plan on never playing hide and seek with the neighborhood kids again, so let's knock that off the list of ways to spend your nights.
Otherwise, remember that the fun of summer vacation wasn't the endless days watching TV or playing video games or "chatting" on "forums," although those are all great things to do. The fun of summer was that you were free from the routine that someone else invented for you. Are you bored with your life right now? Think like a kid. Find something new to do. Finding a new hobby or skill is like giving your brain a vacation from the routines that are boring you to death.
In fact, at the beginning of the year, David Wong actually challenged readers to learn a new skill set. It's that important to your not-turning-into-a-cranky-bastard development. The Cracked forum now boasts 55 pages of readers who took the challenge, not because they had three free months of summer to goof off, but because what else are you going to do? Watch Breaking Bad? Yes, obviously you're going to do that, but when it's over? You're going to need a new activity to fill the Breaking Bad hole in your heart pretty soon. That's what a new hobby/summer surrogate can do for you. I know I'm having fun with M*A*S*H this year.
#4. The First-Day-of-School Outfit

Never in your life will you work harder to make a good impression than on the first day of the school year. Not during interviews for your dream job, not on your wedding day, not when you're getting knighted or meeting your so-called child for the first time. Because hopefully by the time you get to those stages in your life, you're confident enough in your own identity to be comfortable around others and not so hung up on what everyone thinks about you. Or comfortable-ish, for you.

Too comfortable! Retreat!
I could go to Walmart wearing a hole-ridden Tweety Bird nightgown and a fright wig RIGHT NOW and hold my head high, that's how confident I am in all this (points at self, head to toe). That confidence might come from being a grown-ass woman, or it might come from drinking too much wine earlier this morning, one of those two. But I certainly didn't have it when I was a kid. That's what the first day of school outfit was for -- to fake everyone out into thinking you were better than you really thought you were.
If my perfect first-day-of-school fantasy ever came to fruition, the combination of my new clothes from Sears, extra crispy bangs, and fresh, dope, plastic framed glasses would have translated into a girl that no one would recognize from the year before. "Who's she?" they'd all say. "Is she an exchange student from France?" and "I didn't know we had a vocational model program!" And then they'd say "It's Kristi! Kristi from last year! But you're so pretty!" And then they'd immediately elect me homecoming queen even though the vote was a month away and we were in elementary school and didn't have homecoming.
How to Bring It Back
That ridiculous optimism that you can create a whole new you on the first day of school is rooted in fact that's as American as apple pie: You really can reinvent yourself. Maybe not in front of the same kids who know you wet your britches under the slide in kindergarten, and maybe not when everyone else is also trying to solidify themselves on the cooler side of the social spectrum, but upgrading is not only possible, it's a good instinct. If you're familiar with the show Mad Men, you know the character Don Draper took the idea of reinvention and ran it to the finish line (of death? We don't know yet). Here's the character Don Draper as we know and love him:
Here's a screenshot of Don "Knotts" Draper as a young man, before he created a new life for himself:
Shocking. But it's nice to know that nothing about you is completely set in stone, and that's a good thing to remember once the doldrums of adulthood get you down. There's nothing you can't change: your body, your skill set, your friends, your personality, your IQ (ish). Just don't let that ambition manifest itself in a spouse-dumping midlife crisis or worse -- a single stud earring. That's actually good advice for you high school boys, too.
#3. Back-to-School Jitters
Lynn Koenig / Getty
It's the night before your first day at school. You've packed your backpack, laid out your outfit, memorized a map of the school, practiced your choreography just in case the opening sequences to Grease and Grease 2 were documentaries all along (as you always suspected), hid your secret summer baby, and put on your jammies. Now it's time for sleep. After saying your prayers and reviewing the alphabet just to make sure you didn't get a sudden case of the illiterates, you try to go to bed. But you can't. Sleep will not come. Instead you're bombarded with a hurricane of terrible first-day scenarios.
Workbook Stock / Getty
"Maybe they'll figure out I'm just a narc posing as a high school kid."
What if no one likes your clothes? What if they like your clothes so much that all the teachers are wearing your outfit, a plot totally executed to perfection in an episode of Full House? What if you period all over your new Girbaud jeans and everyone called you "Bloody Mary" all year? What if every time you walked into the bathroom the mean girls turned off the lights and yelled "BLOODY MARY" three times and then, because your luck is awful, the historical Bloody Mary showed up and killed you and you are now actually dead? What if Elton John comes to your funeral and sings "Goodbye, Texas Rose" and the very hottest boy at school places a yellow porcelain rose inside your coffin because he loved you all along? Whoops, looks like it's time to flip the pillow, this side is too tear soaked.
How to Bring It Back
For insomniacs, that night-before-the-first-day-of-school imaginary soap opera isn't a once-a-year deal, it's an every-night deal. After an hour or two of trying to sleep, you eventually just end up thinking of terrible ways that everyone around you will die, then you feel sad and cry until the sun comes up. What? That's not how insomnia works for everyone else? Huh.
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
Everyone gets to play insomniac the night before school starts. It's like the world's most boring cosplay event. But those jitters are kind of fun, too, like waiting in line for a roller coaster. By the time you've made it to the front of the line, you've imagined every single way the thing can malfunction, but you get locked into your seat anyway. Or you slip out of line because your fears got the best of you. Either way, nervously imagining the worst case scenarios isn't in itself a bad thing. You will get fired someday. That's going to happen. Playing out a version of that story in your head isn't going to hurt anyone. Your whole family and all your friends are going to die someday. I'm so so sorry. But that's true. Weird as it is, I think my own sleepless nights have worked as a pre-therapy for real-world mourning times to come. Fixating on the worst possible things that could happen to you is a bad idea. Imagining them, playing with them, facing your fears, getting through them, isn't a bad idea.
On the other hand, if you perioded all over your Girbauds on the first day of school, I'm really sorry for you. Life only gets better from here.

This is the fourth chapter of a nine-chapter serial story to be published weekly in NeXt. The story, set during the Civil War, is about a young girl in Elmira whose brother is a prisoner of war in Andersonville, Ga. She can't understand why the war widow she works for and the former slave who is sexton of her church don't share her bitterness toward the rebel prisoners. That is not until the night she is confronted by a young Southerner who shares her brother's intense desire to get home, and needs her help to do it.
Our story so far: Betsy's brother Jimmy has smuggled a letter out of the POW camp in Andersonville, Ga., to let them know that he is alright but that his hometown friend Charlie Stout has died.
Chapter 4: Kindness
"It was a kindness for him to say all that about Charlie," Mrs. Baxter said. "Your brother is a kind and thoughtful man."
She had done laundry that day and, when Betsy came from school, they hung the sheets on the line together. Now they were sitting on the porch, shelling peas and drinking cambric tea while the baby napped beside them in a basket of clean diapers and towels.
Betsy kept her eyes down at the bowl in her lap as she spoke. "I don't know that he said anything very comforting," she replied. "Poor Charlie couldn't even eat. It seemed very sad."
"Even bad news is news," Mrs. Baxter insisted. "It helps to have a picture in your mind, to know at least a little about it." She reached up to dump the peas from her bowl into the larger pot on the table, then took another handful of pods and put them in her lap.
"To know that your Jim and that John Kelley were there with Charlie at the end, that has to gladden his parents' hearts amid the sorrow," she went on. "I know it gladdened my heart to hear that my Tom knew we had a son. I was afraid my letter didn't get to him in time, that he never saw it."
They said nothing for several minutes, then Mrs. Baxter spoke again. "I shouldn't say this, but I'm glad John is there." Betsy looked up for a moment, but didn't say anything.
"Goodness knows, I don't mean I'm glad poor John is in prison," Mrs. Baxter went on. "But I'm glad Jim isn't alone. John was never a close friend; Jim and Tom and Charlie were always together while John was always working at his family's store. Still, he is from home. I'm glad Jim has a friend for company."
"I'm not glad of anything," Betsy declared. "And I don't care about anything else. I just want Jimmy to come home! Nothing else. Nothing else will ever make me glad again, ever!"
Mrs. Baxter's eyes began to fill with tears and Betsy suddenly realized the terrible thing she had said. Her brother might yet come home, but Mrs. Baxter's husband never would.
"I'm sorry!" she said, and now she began to cry, too. "I didn't mean it!"
"Of course you did!" Mrs. Baxter said. "Of course you meant it!"
And she put her bowl on the table, and took Betsy's bowl, and then reached over and the young widow and the young sister held each other and wept. It was the first time Betsy had cried since the day Jimmy's first letter arrived and they knew he was a prisoner.
But now little Tommy began to cry, too. Mrs. Baxter wiped her eyes, and laughed, and picked him up from the laundry basket. "Did we wake you up, little fellow?" she asked. "Did those foolish girls wake you up with their caterwauling?"
She played with the baby until he stopped crying, and then put him to her shoulder and patted his back.
"When I first heard about Tom, when your parents brought Jim's letter over, I thought my life was over," she said. "I thought I would never smile again. And then I looked at little Tommy and I knew there was much, much left before me."
She reached out and cupped Betsy's cheek gently with one hand. "Jimmy is coming home. I know he is. Jimmy will come home."
Betsy was thinking about Tom Baxter, and his widow, and his son, and her own brother, as she walked home. She barely heard the wagon slow to a stop until the voice said, "Would you like a ride?"
It was John Jones, the sexton at her church, the man who had given her the job of helping Mrs. Baxter after school. He held a hand down, inviting her to come up on the seat beside him.
Betsy took his hand and stepped up onto the wagon. "Thank you, Mr. Jones," she said, and the black man smiled back.
"Mrs. Baxter says you are a great help to her," he said, as he shook the reins and started his horses up again. Betsy wasn't sure what to say, so she said nothing, and, after a moment, Mr. Jones spoke up again. "I heard you had a letter."
"Yes," Betsy answered.
"He's going to be all right," Mr. Jones said. "He's going to come home. I feel it in my bones!"
Betsy still didn't know what to say. Mr. Jones had been a slave in Virginia, until he and his brothers escaped and came north to freedom, in Elmira.
Then he became a conductor on the Underground Railroad.
Nobody in Elmira talked about it, but everybody knew it: John Jones had helped a lot of slaves to freedom, sending them in railroad boxcars up to Canada, where nobody owned people, where people were free.
But now John Jones busied himself with burying the rebel soldiers, those who enlisted to preserve slavery but then died in the Elmira prison.
He didn't just deliver them to the cemetery. He kept track of each grave. Mr. Jones even put a slip of paper with the name of the prisoner and his regiment in a bottle around each dead man's neck, so that that particular reb's body could never be lost and forgotten.
Betsy rode beside Mr. Jones in silence until they came to her house.
Next week: A prison break.

BOSTON – Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is being investigated in connection with a 2012 double murder in Boston, according to multiple news outlets.
The Boston Globe, Boston Herald and Fox 25 in Boston reported that officials said investigators now believe that Odin L. Lloyd, the man Hernandez is charged with killing in a North Attleboro, Mass., industrial park June 17, may have had information linking Hernandez to the double slaying.
Lloyd, 27, a semi-pro football player from Dorchester, Mass., was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.
Hernandez, 23, who was fired by the Patriots shortly after his arrest, appeared Thursday at a bail review hearing but was again denied bail after prosecutors said he was captured on video walking into his house with what they believe was the murder weapon.
The prosecutor also said he told his girlfriend not to talk to police about the case, although defense attorney James Sultan pointed out that he has not been charged with obstructing the investigation.
Lloyd was shot five times, including twice in the chest while he was on the ground, the prosecutor said. The shell casings were found and all matched one gun. The gun, however, has not been found.
A dejected Hernandez was escorted out by burly guards, as his fiancee broke down in tears.
Prosecutor William McCauley told the judge that police also searched a Franklin condominium that Hernandez is renting, and a variety of ammunition was found in that condominium.
Authorities said they also searched a Hummer registered to Hernandez at that condominium's address, and they found a clip for a .45 caliber firearm.
McCauley said Fernandez was a flight risk, and that there's proof he took steps to destroy evidence.
"The case against him is strong, and he would be looking at a chance of life in prison without parole," he said.
Meanwhile, investigators are probing a possible connection between Hernandez and a double murder in Boston last summer and will be back at the jailed player's North Attleboro home today.
Police told Boston media that Hernandez is being eyed in a double-murder July 15 of last year in the South End, where two men were gunned down. Upon arrival, police reported finding two men dead at the scene – Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreau, 29, and Safiro Teixeira Furtado, 28, both of Dorchester.
A cousin of Furtado said investigators have not talked to the family about any possible link to Hernandez.
A jogger found Lloyd's body in a remote area of an industrial park about a mile from Hernandez's home in North Attleborough 10 days ago.Prosecutors said Hernandez orchestrated the killing because Lloyd talked to the wrong people at a nightclub.
In laying out more of the government's case Thursday, McCauley said prosecutors believe that the murder weapon was a .45-caliber Glock and that a gun Hernandez is seen holding on his home surveillance video, a weapon they haven't found, appears to be a Glock.
Meanwhile, authorities in Connecticut also made an arrest in connection with Lloyd's slaying. New Britain State's Attorney Brian Preleski said Thursday that investigators arrested Carlos Ortiz, 25, in Hernandez's hometown, Bristol, Conn., as part of the murder probe. Authorities charged Ortiz as a fugitive from justice, and he agreed to be transferred to Massachusetts.
Prosecutors have said that on June 16 Hernandez and two unidentified friends picked up Lloyd from his Boston home in a rented silver Nissan Maxima, took him to a remote area of an industrial park and shot him five times.
Lloyd, in the minutes before his death, sent a series of texts to his sister, who had seen him get into the car.
"Did you see who I was with?" said the first, at 3:07 a.m. June 17.
"Who?" she finally replied.
"NFL," he texted back, then added: "Just so you know."

Position Statement 18: Cultural and Linguistic Competency in Mental Health Systems
Mental Health America (MHA) believes that it is essential that all aspects of wellness promotion and mental health and substance use disorder prevention and treatment be reflective of the diversity of the communities being served and that mental health and substance abuse agencies strive to become and remain culturally and linguistically competent. A culturally and linguistically competent system incorporates skills, attitudes, and policies to ensure it is effectively addressing the cultural and communication needs of consumers and families with diverse economic and social resources and capacities and diverse values, beliefs, and sexual orientations, in addition to backgrounds that vary by race, ethnicity, religion, and language. This requires (1) a thorough understanding of the culture of the many segments of American society, (2) adequate language skills to serve the language needs of substantial limited-English-speaking communities(1) and also of the deaf and blind communities and (3) an understanding of the full range of sexual orientations, currently summarized as LGBTQQIAP (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, ally and pansexual). Mental Health America urges that planning and advisory councils and governing boards, staff and peer service workers of mental health and substance abuse treatment agencies all be chosen and trained to reflect and respect cultural and linguistic diversity as a basic civil right.(2)
Identification and treatment of mental health and substance use conditions requires a full understanding of the culture and language of the person and an ability to relate successfully to the person through culture and language. Thus, culture and language are indispensible means of communication, and when barriers exist, they must be addressed for prevention and treatment to be effective. This requires recruitment, resources, integrity, and sustained effort. Most importantly, cultural competence requires training and self-criticism to combat stereotypes, such as the legacy of racism and ethnic prejudice in America(3), the condemnation of diverse sexual orientations in prior mental health diagnostic systems(4), and other cultural biases and prejudices that still haunt us.
There can be no doubt that poverty, race and ethnicity affect the treatment of people with mental health and substance use conditions and that active programs are necessary to promote cultural and linguistic competency throughout the mental health and substance use disorder treatment systems.(5) Disproportionate criminal justice system involvement often is used to justify this systemic discrimination and requires separating the person from the record. This is hard to do, but essential to assure cultural competency.
The main message of Mental Health: Culture, Race, and Ethnicity-A Supplement to Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General (2001) is that "Culture counts:"
"The cultures of racial and ethnic minorities influence many aspects of mental illness, including how [people] from a given culture communicate and manifest their symptoms, their style of coping, their family and community supports, and their willingness to seek treatment. Likewise, the cultures of the clinician and the service system influence diagnosis, treatment, and service delivery. Cultural and social influences are not the only determinants of mental illness and patterns of service use, but they do play important roles.
- Cultural and social factors contribute to the causation of mental illness, yet that contribution varies by disorder. Mental illness is considered the product of a complex interaction among biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors. The role of any of these major factors can be stronger or weaker depending on the specific disorder.
- Ethnic and racial minorities in the United States face a social and economic environment of inequality that includes greater exposure to racism, discrimination, violence, and poverty. Living in poverty has the most measurable effect on the rates of mental illness. People in the lowest strata of income, education, and occupation (known as socioeconomic status) are about two to three times more likely than those in the highest strata to have a mental disorder.
- Racism and discrimination are stressful events that adversely affect health and mental health. They place minorities at risk for mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. Whether racism and discrimination can by themselves cause these disorders is less clear, yet deserves research attention.
- Mistrust of mental health services is an important reason deterring minorities from seeking treatment. Their concerns are reinforced by evidence, both direct and indirect, of clinician bias and stereotyping.
- The cultures of racial and ethnic minorities alter the types of mental health services they need. Clinical environments that do not respect, or are incompatible with, the cultures of the people they serve may deter minorities from using services and receiving appropriate care."
"Cultural differences must be accounted for to ensure that minorities, like all Americans, receive mental health care tailored to their needs."(6)
The Surgeon General expressly declined to deal with sexual orientation, stating that: "Clearly, the four racial and ethnic minority groups that are the focus of this supplement are by no means the only populations that encounter disparities in mental health services. However, assessing disparities for groups such as people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender or people with co-occurring physical and mental illnesses is beyond the scope of this Supplement. Nevertheless, many of the conclusions of this Supplement could apply to these and other groups currently experiencing mental health disparities."(7)
In its 2011 report, The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People,(8) The Institute of Medicine concluded that little is known to science about LGBTQQIAP culture, and that: "While LGBT populations are [often] combined as a single entity for research and advocacy purposes, each is a distinct population group with its own specific health needs. Furthermore, the experiences of LGBT individuals are not uniform and are shaped by factors of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geographical location, and age, any of which can have an effect on health-related concerns and needs."
Thus, according to the IOM, data on "sexual and gender minorities" should be included in the battery of demographic information that is collected in federally funded surveys, in the same way that race and ethnicity data are collected. In addition, data on sexual orientation and gender identity should be collected in electronic health records, like race and ethnicity. While all data collected in electronic health records are subjected to high levels of privacy and security protections, information on sexual orientation and gender identity could be perceived by some as more sensitive than other information, but its collection is important for the development of effective treatment protocols.
Asking study participants about their sexual orientation and gender identity also presents a challenge for researchers. While questions designed to elicit this information have been developed and used, HHS and all of its operating divisions should support research to evaluate the questions and develop additional measures. Similarly, questions about sexual orientation and gender identity on federally funded surveys should be standardized to allow for the comparison and combination of data across large studies. (9)
For LGBTQQIAP teens and young people and families of color, the challenges of growing up are especially difficult. Stresses and confusion are pronounced in young people who are coming to terms with a stigmatized sexual orientation and considering coming out, as they are for racial and ethnic minorities seeking a positive role in American society. Studies show a strong correlation between gay, lesbian or bisexual sexual identity and the risk of suicide,(10) and the criminal justice system disproportionally affects (and sometimes targets) racial and ethnic minorities.(11)
In order for people disadvantaged by any cause to participate in treatment, promotion of health literacy is essential. MHA Position Statement 12, Evidence-based Healthcare, stresses this issue and MHA's role in promoting health literacy. (12)
Health literacy was defined by the IOM in 2004 and 2011 as, "the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions."(13) Capacity to make decisions is the core issue in assuring consumer autonomy and self-directed care and treatment. Promotion of such capacity can be complicated by individual learning skills and preferences and issues such as literacy/language skills, cultural differences, age-related physical, emotional and cognitive changes and disabilities, and individual challenges that affect listening, learning and remembering. Cultural competency requires crossing all of these barriers.
Call to Action
Unfortunately, many mental health systems and agencies, including those that serve highly diverse populations, pay only lip service to these concepts, despite the significant impact that cultural and linguistic competence has on both positive outcomes and costs. In order to improve the cultural sensitivity and responsiveness of mental health delivery systems, the Mental Health America urges all organizations that provide mental health services to:
- Assess the diversity and needs of the people and community that it serves and develop and implement plans and practices that work best for them.
- Develop a formalized, written cultural and linguistic competency plan. The cultural composition of communities tends to shift over time, and organizations must periodically update these plans to reflect changes in the populations they serve and work with.
- Form planning and advisory councils and governing boards with diverse and culturally and linguistically competent membership, reflective and respectful of the communities being served.
- Provide enrollment and educational materials in different languages and in Braille, consistent with the linguistic diversity of the population being served.
- Pre-test the reader-friendliness of enrollment and education materials with focus groups comprised of persons who are reflective of the cultural and linguistic diversity of the population.
- Measure the reader-friendliness of such materials as an indicator in consumer satisfaction surveys.
- Ensure availability of providers with language skills that complement the languages spoken by the population being served and provide needed linguistic support and translation services, including signing professionals as well as sign language services, to consumers and families (at no cost to them), beginning at the point of entry into the system and throughout the course of care.
- Develop and implement standards for recruitment and hiring of culturally and linguistically competent leadership and staff (including a range of genders and sexual orientations as well as linguistic and cultural understanding).
- Develop care plans that are compatible with consumers' community environments.
- Direct consumers and their families to treatment modalities that are culturally acceptable to them to ensure the likelihood of acceptance of and compliance with the treatment plan (including sensitivity to religious beliefs and sexual orientation).
- Have a regular quality-monitoring program with indicators that separately evaluate both the quality of services and outcomes with respect to culturally diverse populations.
- Provide regular cultural and linguistic competency training for leadership and providers.
- Ensure that providers have an understanding of the cultural attitudes about healing systems held by the consumers whom they serve.
- Ensure that providers have an understanding of the family dynamics and sexual orientations of the consumers whom they serve.
- Ensure that providers are skilled in specialized assessment and treatment techniques to serve consumers with diverse ethnicities and sexual orientations.
Effective Period
The Mental Health America Board of Directors approved this Policy on September 17, 2011. It is reviewed as required by the Mental Health America Public Policy Committee.
Expiration: December 31, 2016
- Communities that have adopted a legal standard have often used a threshold of five percent of the population served.
- Section 601 of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000d, provides that no person shall, "on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." See also United States Department of Health and Human Services, "Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons" (2004). http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/resources/specialtopics/lep/policyguidancedocument.html
- Citations can only skim the surface, but a good starting point is Alva and Gunner Myrdal's classic An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy (Harper & Bros., 1944) and the words of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
- In 1973, the weight of empirical data, coupled with changing social norms and the development of a politically active gay community in the United States, finally led the Board of Directors of the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Some psychiatrists who fiercely opposed their action subsequently circulated a petition calling for a vote on the issue by the Association's membership. That vote was held in 1974, and the Board's decision was ratified.

- In Position Statement 56, MHA acknowledged this shameful fact: "MHA recognizes the nation must acknowledge and address the forces that contribute to the disproportionately high involvement of persons from ethnic and racial minority communities in the criminal justice system. A system that continues to incarcerate so many people of color with inconsistent lengths of incarceration when compared to others is inherently unjust."

On February 26, I met with State lawmakers as part of the Alzheimer's Association Advocacy Day. I visited Incline's representatives, meeting with staff in Senator Ben Kieckhefer's office and personally with Assemblyman Randy Kirner, whose wife had just lost her mother the day before to Alzheimer's.
Additionally, our team met with Assemblywoman Ellen Spiegel (Henderson) and Assemblyman Harvey Mumford (Las Vegas). We asked them to support the 29,000 plus Nevadans with Alzheimer's disease and the thousands of family and friends who care for them.
This issue is very personal to me. Although Alzheimer's is perhaps the best known of the dementias, there are more than one hundred varieties.
My mother suffers from Lewy Bodies dementia, the third most common form of the disease. Various misdiagnoses sent our family from doctor to doctor. Sadly, most drugs that are effective at slowing the progress of Alzheimer's cause dangerous side effects or heightened symptoms in Lewy Bodies patients.
Mom's disease is characterized by visual hallucinations, trouble interpreting visual information, delusions, confusion and alertness that varies significantly, and some malfunctions of the autonomic nervous system. While her memory loss is significant, it is less prominent than in other Alzheimer's sufferers I have met.
I hope our legislators will help thousands of families like mine by supporting SB69, AB80 and SB86. We must invest in action against this devastating disease and help families that are in desperate situations.
One in 8 people over age 65 will get Alzheimer's disease, the sixth leading cause of death in the nation. You can take action against Alzheimer's by asking for help or volunteering with the Alzheimer's Association. They can be reached any time, day or night at 1-800-272-3900.

How to prevent and treat damp
Don't ignore damp - it can do serious damage to the structure of your house. Lots of different factors can cause it, and you need to find out what these are before you try to cure it, or you may treat the wrong thing and make the situation worse. Any remedies that involve opening up external cavity walls or fitting a new damp-proof course are best left to the professionals. And if your home is in an area that's prone to flooding, there are a number of precautions you can take to protect it.
There are three main kinds of damp: penetrating damp, rising damp and condensation. If you're not sure which kind you have, check the symptoms of each - and find the moisture levels in your home by using an electronic moisture meter.

Buyer's guide to loft insulation
Out of sight, out of mind – the dark, dirty loft is one of the areas of the house that can be neglected in favour of rooms that are more accessible and see more use. But, while insulating the loft is not one of the most glamorous jobs in the world, you should only have to do it once and it will prove massively beneficial to your comfort as well as your bank balance.
But before you head up into the loft, it's important to decide which type of insulating material you're going to use to complete the job. And where once there was very little choice available, now there are a number of different options to choose from – that can all be mixed and matched to suit your needs. So whether you're looking for something that's eco-friendly, that's kind to the skin or even provides a stable surface for walking on – we'll take you through all the different materials available.
Before you begin
It's important to understand how much existing insulation your home currently has, and subsequently how much new insulation you need to complete your project. For more on this, read our guide on How to insulate your loft.
Don't forget that loft floor insulation is compression packed for easier handling and will expand to the advertised thickness when unwrapped.

A 47-year-old Windsor man died early Saturday morning in a traffic crash about 4 miles north of Windsor.
The victim was identified as Ricardo Montalvo, according to the Weld County Coroner's Office.
The crash occurred about 12:50 a.m. Saturday near Weld County Road 74 and Colo. 257. Montalvo was driving a 1991 Honda coupe on Colo. 257 when he collided with a 2006 Subaru sedan at the intersection of Weld 74. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Subaru, whose name was not immediately released, was transported to North Colorado Medical Center, Colorado State Patrol spokesman Trooper Josh Lewis said. He said he did not know the extent or nature of the injuries the Subaru driver suffered. There were other passengers in the Subaru, but none of them were injured, he said.
Lewis said both roads were open in all directions; however, police were continuing to investigate Saturday afternoon.
Montalvo is the third person to die this year on Weld roads. Through this date last year, two people had been killed.

As a prisoner of war, William Funchess saw deprivation and brutality during three freezing years held by Chinese and North Korean guards. That first winter, more than 1,600 Americans died.
Funchess could easily tell who was "giving up" because they had stopped picking lice from their bodies.
Still, it took a visit to a doctor in the 1990s to finally get over his terrors, cathartically writing his experiences down and working through them with pen and yellow note pad.
"He said to me, '40 years is a long time to have nightmares,' " Funchess recalled.
Funchess was one of several story-tellers in a panel discussion Friday on "Internment in Times of War" held onboard the aircraft carrier Yorktown at Patriots Point.
Citadel graduate and Air Force pilot Quincy Collins remembers being held in a tiny cell in North Vietnam after he was shot down in 1965. Despite his captivity, his seven years as a prisoner reinforced his faith, even in the darkest hours.
"God is real," he said. "He is real and he came down into that cell with me many times when I was ready to give up."
Mary Murakami was only 16 years old in 1942 when the U.S. government said her family's Japanese ancestry made them potential enemies. Like tens of thousands of other West Coast families, she was uprooted from her San Francisco home and shipped to a camp on a dry lake bed in Utah.
Today, she sees parallels in what happened to her and the growing level of prejudice aimed at Muslims in America.
"Hysteria and discrimination can change everything in an instant," she said.
Also joining the group was Charleston resident Joe Engel, who was a teenager when Nazis stormed into Poland and sent the Jewish youth to the death camp at Auschwitz. He survived and escaped by later jumping from a fast-moving train that was shipping detainees away from the oncoming Red Army. Rounding out the speakers was Ned Montgomery, son of a POW held by the Japanese.
Friday's event was scheduled to bring together the live voices behind disappearing stories of detainment to an audience of local schoolchildren. One of the lessons taught was that the reasons for captivity can take on many forms, be it prejudice, wartime brutality or outright extermination.
The speakers said their will to survive, coupled with the hopes of being reunited with loved ones, fortified their strength.
"That human feeling in you that says 'I've got to make it,' " Collins said of his time in Vietnam. "That survival mode that tells you, 'Here's what I've got to do to make it.' "
Collins today finds humor in what happened to him when he was captured and sent to the infamous North Vietnamese camp dubbed "the Hanoi Hilton."
"As the world's greatest fighter pilot, it was embarrassing to be shot down," he said, drawing laughter.
Funchess was captured in 1950 and became one of the longer held Americans from the Korean War. He turned his story into the 1997 book "Korea POW — A Thousand Days of Torment."
"After I finished, the nightmares stopped," he told the crowd via videolink from his home in the Upstate of his writing experiment.
Engel, who jumped off a train and hid in the snows of Czechoslovakia, eventually became a resistance fighter.
He said most portrayals of the Holocaust fall short. "Nothing came close to what happened in the death camp, Auschwitz and Birkenau," he said.
Montgomery delivered one of the lesser-told stories of captivity: not knowing whether a relative is dead or alive. His father, who had survived two POW ship sinkings, died in February 1945.
Murakami said she has no resentful feelings about living in Camp Topaz, Utah, saying it was the Japanese way back then to respect the government. If officials felt they needed to be rounded up, "authority was always right," she said.
The real prejudice emerged, she said, after she was released from the camp and tried to re-settle in the San Francisco area as the war wound down and her family had difficulty finding a place to live. "I didn't feel any discrimination until we were out of the internment," she said.
Students said they found relevance in the stories, including how extreme prejudice can be targeted on minorities such as Murakami and Engel.
"Even though they were tormented, some people can live on through things," said Kira Irick, an eighth-grader at Palmetto Scholars Academy.

MARTINSBURG - Local production company Growth Media Services has spent the last year in development and production of an Internet based sci-fi series called Shotgun Mythos, and the hard work has paid off.
The show received the ITV Young Guns Award for Up and Coming New Shows at the DC Web Series Festival held April 6 at the Arlington Draft House.
"Part of us were in Richmond, promoting the show at the sci-fi convention RavenCon, while another group went to the DC Web Series Festival to represent the show," said show creator and director Clint Gaige. "The award was a huge surprise. We were considering the event a promotional opportunity. It never occurred to us that we would come away an award-winning series."

Leigh Ann Wakefield works for the Defense Logistics Agency on the grounds of the former Navy base and shipyard.
Major military jobs
The Navy is the largest employer in the region, with more than 12,000 employees, including both military and civilian workers.SPAWAR Atlantic has 3,100 active military and civilian employees, including more than 850 degreed engineers.The Charleston Air Force Base features the largest C-17 air base on the East Coast, with more than 7,000 active-duty and civilian employees.Source: Charleston Regional Development Alliance
All around her, colleagues are adjusting their lives with an eye toward the Pentagon-mandated furloughs that appear headed their way.
"My biggest fear is that just when the economy is starting to come back up, it's going to go back down again," the Summerville resident said.
While Wakefield is for the most part in good shape financially, she worries for others.
"Most people live right at their means already," she said. "Or at least 'to' their means."
Sequestration could be just days away, and Charleston's military community is on edge. The Department of Defense, its local installations and its contractors already are making this year's expenses fit last year's budgeting, and sequestration would mean billions of dollars more in cuts, unless Congress comes up with a more nuanced solution.
The most optimistic are taking a "wait-and-see" approach, while others in the business believe the automatic cuts are a foregone conclusion.
Ryan Lemire, who leads the North Charleston office of Geocent, a software company that does work for the Department of Defense, has been preparing for the worst since at least last year, and believes the sequester ax will fall on Friday.
"When it was tied in with the 'fiscal cliff' and all that, I expected they'd come to a resolution at the same time," Lemire said.
"When they separated it from the fiscal cliff and kicked it down the road a couple months, it kind of changed the ball game."
Noah Leask, CEO of Mount Pleasant-based cyber firm ISHPI, feels the same way.
"There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of bipartisanship and ability to work together today in our top level of government," Leask said. "In my humble opinion, I think sequestration will go down."
Sequestration could mean furloughs for thousands of civilian employees at Joint Base Charleston and reduced work for many more private contractors in the area who support the Joint Base's tenant commands, like the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, better known as SPAWAR.
The threat has been hanging since summer 2011, when Congress set up the sequester mechanism, and has become more real since lawmakers postponed the effective date from January to March and, like a Band-Aid, passed a continuing-budget resolution in the meantime.
Significant impact
If Congress doesn't act by Friday, more than 5,000 federal civilians who work for the military in Charleston face the probability of being furloughed, with workers expected to be staying home one day out of every five for as long as 22 weeks. Those furloughs would likely begin in late April.
The financial impact of sequestration is expected to be significant for military towns like Charleston. Locally, the military employs more than 22,000 people.
That includes the ranks of the active duty, civilian and contract civilian workers. Their contribution adds more than $4.67 billion annually to the local economy, according to the Charleston Regional Development Alliance.
While a 20 percent loss of salary is one thing, defense contractors say loss of their work will be rippled if the government goes to the extreme, possibly even pulling back on already issued contracts.
In a Feb. 15 letter to South Carolina's congressional delegation, the board of the Charleston Area Defense Contractors Association said there are "more than 250 companies supporting the local defense/government agencies and contributing approximately 10 percent to the Metro Chamber economy."
CADCA Vice President Jack Moore wasn't sure where the 10 percent figure came from, but said the bottom line was correct. "The automatic spending cuts that would occur if the sequester takes effect could conservatively cost our area nearly 4,000 jobs," the letter stated.
Over the next decade, sequestration calls for roughly $1 trillion in cuts, half of which would be cuts to defense programs.
Ironic timing
This isn't the first time Charleston's military industrial complex has been at risk.
This week marks the 20th anniversary of former U.S. Sen. Fritz Hollings breaking the news that sent Charleston into disbelief and denial: The Charleston Naval Base and Shipyard were targeted for closure.
With that history in mind, Gov. Nikki Haley said last summer that the cuts simply "can't happen," and U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham said allowing sequestration to take effect would be a "national disgrace."
Newly appointed U.S. Senator Tim Scott said last week that the sequestration situation was not "even close" to the Navy base closure.
Since Hollings' warning came true, the Navy has clawed its way back as the largest employer in the region, with more than 12,000 employees, including military and civilian workers.
"I think that would be very premature and a signal that we shouldn't send to anyone that we are preparing to absorb the loss of that number of people," Scott said, calling such a result "catastrophic."
He added, "I think we are in a position that is better than the last time for us to hopefully be able to keep the assets that we have."
SPAWAR alone has more than 2,600 employees and more than 8,000 local contractors, according to spokesman Tommy Groves. Joint Base Charleston had more than 23,500 employees and some 4,900 contractors on base as of November, according to spokesman Capt. Frank Hartnett.
Like other Department of Defense divisions, they have already taken some steps to cut costs, including a hiring freeze, postponing government-sponsored conferences, and curtailing travel and expenses.
Those moves came in response to a Jan. 10 memorandum from Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter, which noted that the department already is hamstrung thanks to the continuing resolution.
Other planning documents detail cuts in ship maintenance, flying hours and overseas deployments that would be necessary if the continuing resolution is extended or sequestration happens.
For suppliers and others, Hartnett, the Joint Base spokesman, said "at this point, contracts have remained honored." He added "Until an event takes place at that level" in reference to the Pentagon, "those contracts continue to move forward."
Of concern
Leask, of Mount Pleasant-based cyber firm ISHPI, and others believe their government contracts are safe for years to come.
ISHPI specializes in cyber warfare, defense and offense, and Leask sees the demand for those services only increasing, regardless of any overall budget decreases.
"We're in the hottest market," he said. "A lot of our clients are well-funded because our mission is picking up."
Groves, of SPAWAR, hinted that some contracts are less bulletproof.
"The scope of the contracts may need to be readdressed, or there may need to be changes in the performance requirements of those contracts out there," he said. "There really is a lot of wait and see."
Rebecca Ufkes, president of UEC Electronics in Hanahan, already has seen the effects. Just a few days after the Jan. 10 letter, Ufkes said an agency visit to UEC was canceled and two conferences UEC planned to attend were canceled.
Not long after, UEC's contract to work on amphibious assault vehicles, which was supposed to go through 2014, was "defunded immediately."
Ufkes remained upbeat last week, noting that UEC has commercial contracts, such as with Boeing, in addition to its defense contracts. But she expressed frustration that Congress has allowed the funding situation to reach this dire juncture.
"It's just shocking that it's gone on this far. It's just shocking that what seems to be a No. 1 priority has not been resolved," she said.
Lemire said Geocent hasn't "gotten hit" yet, and is still hiring.
But he said there have been longer waits for task order awards within contracts because higher levels of approval are now necessary before agencies spend money.
He has shifted a couple of his guys from defense work to commercial work this year as part of a continuing hedge against federal budget cuts.
"Long-term," he said, "I see this trickling down and affecting the whole community."
Real money
Government employees agree that ready cash will disappear if the furloughs come. Several interviewed were reluctant to let their employers know they were talking with the press, but confirmed they expected the worst.
"I'm not going to pay down (my) debt as much as I would like," said one 41-year-old man who wouldn't give his name but said he worked at SPAWAR.
He pointed to carrying thousands of dollars in house, car, student and home equity loans.
Another man eating lunch outside a restaurant in the Park Circle area of North Charleston said a furlough would mean losing what he called real money.
"I don't have 20 percent of my income in savings so it's going to have to come from somewhere," said the man, who is married, has three children and identified himself only as DoD employee "Matt B."
Of his future spending habits, "We're going to be home-bodies," he said.
SPAWAR employees were hard at work last week on an MRAP M-ATV, but the threat of sequestration has left many of them on edge.×

As we may know, "Squee!" is a noise primarily made by an over-excited fangirl. Squee girls are a form of fangirls. Most enjoy anime and manga; several enjoy yaoi. They are known to glomp people, write/read fanfiction, and say such phrases as "w00t" and of course, "Squee!" Most seem to be tech addicts who use Geia and Livejournal. They are often misunderstood by those who are unfamiliar with their ways.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Gamida Cell raised $10 million through an internal Series E financing round with all its existing major shareholders. The proceeds will be used to support global commercialization of the firm's Phase III-stage StemEx cord blood stem cell therapy for blood cancers, and continue development of additional pipeline candidates, including clinical development of its cord blood-based NiCord® cell therapy for the treatment of sickle cell disease and thalassemia.
StemEx is an expanded stem cell product in development through a joint venture with Teva as an alternative allogeneic therapy for patients with blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma who could be cured by bone marrow transplantation but for whom there is no matched bone marrow donor available. Results from the ongoing registrational study are expected by the end of 2012, and market launch of StemEx is projected for 2013.
StemEx comprises a graft of expanded stem/progenitor cells derived from a single umbilical cord blood unit, and transplanted by IV administration together with the remaining cells from the same cord blood unit. Gamida Cell says that in contrast with competing cord blood-derived products in development that use two units of blood, StemEx should be significantly less expensive. The firm is currently looking for a strategic partner for global commercialization of the product.
Gamida Cell's remaining pipeline is based on its nicotinamide (NAM) stem cell expansion platform. The lead NAM-based product NiCord is in Phase I/II clinical development for the potential treatment of hematologic malignancies and hemoglobinopathies such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia. The NAM technology also forms the basis of the firm's CordBridge™ candidate for treating neutropenia, and is being applied to natural killer cell expansion to develop products for solid and hematological cancers, and to mesenchymal stem cells for applications in regenerative medicine.

Every day
thousands of Americans are leered at "in the buff" by U.S. Transportation Safety
Administration employees. This uncomfortable -- to some -- situation
is justified in the name of national security. Unfortunately, independent
testing has shown the scanners to have trouble detecting some of the most dangerous types of
materials -- low-density chemical products like explosives or
plastic guns.
In a measure to placate a disgruntled public, the Democratic-controlled U.S.
Senate has moved to make it illegal to share images taken in the scans.
Under the pending provision in the Security Screening Confidential Data Privacy Act,
sharing such an image could land you in jail for a year or net you a $100,000
USD fine.
Supposedly the scanners don't have the capability to save or transfer pictures.
Recent documents from cases involving the
U.S. Federal Marshals reveal, though, that the scanners not only have these
capabilities, but they are regularly used.
The bill is sponsored by Senators Charles Schumer (NY-D) [profile] and Ben Nelson (Nebr.-D) [profile] and
co-sponsored by Senators Daniel Akaka (Haw.-D) [profile], Sheldon Whitehouse (Conn.-D) [profile], Jeanne Shaheen (NH-D) [profile], Jon Tester (Mont.-D) [profile], and Robert Menendez (NJ-D) [profile]. None of the Senate's 49
Republicans and neither of its 2 Independents sponsored the bill.
The new guidelines for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration are expected to
pass through Congress relatively smoothly. However, Democratic U.S.
President Barack Obama, like the Republican President George W. Bush before
him, will likely continue to push to expand the deployment and funding for the
invasive body scans.
At the end of the day the question was, and still is -- how far is the U.S.
prepared to go in the name of security? With suicide bombers in places
like Saudi Arabia trying increasingly unorthodox like inserting bombs in their
rectal cavities [1] [2], one has to wonder exactly how intimately the
federal government is willing to intimately poke, prod, and image its citizens
in the name of the "War on Terror" -- and how much taxpayer money the government is willing to spend to
do so.

As with the current version of AIT, the areas identified as containing potential threats will require additional screening. The generic outline will be identical for all passengers. If no potential threat items are detected, an "OK" will appear on the monitor with no outline.
