Women and Depression
Studies have shown that, in the general population, women are two times more likely to be depressed than men. While it is not clear why women suffer from depression so much more than men, there are several possible reasons. One reason used to explain the high rate of depression among women is the burden many women bear as the primary caregiver for family members. Often, women will care for others and not care properly for themselves. Other reasons that women may feel depressed include having a lower household income, less education, less social support, and a greater chance of being physically and/or sexually abused.
Depression in Women Living With HIV
Women living with HIV (HIV+) are even more likely to suffer from depression than women in the general population. Although many HIV+ people live long, healthy, and full lives, learning that you are HIV+ is life-changing news that can be very difficult to hear and accept. Some people feel overwhelmed, helpless, or unable to cope with an HIV diagnosis. Others are afraid for their future health, or of disclosing their HIV status to friends and family. The stigma that many HIV+ women experience may lead to social isolation and feelings of loneliness. All of these feelings -- helplessness, anxiety, loneliness -- are key elements of depression.
Many HIV+ women also experience large life stressors such as racial discrimination, poverty, violence, and single parenthood, which can lead to depression. An HIV diagnosis can simply add to this burden and to the chances of developing depression.
Depression and Older Women Living With HIV
As HIV treatments have improved, there are more and more older women living with HIV. Growing older often involves its own life challenges, such as chronic disease, disability, or the loss of loved ones. These life changes can lead to feelings of sadness or depression. One study showed that more than six in ten HIV+ women from 50 to 76 years old suffered from depression.
Depression Can Cause Serious Problems
Studies show that there is a direct connection between depression and reduced health for those living with HIV. Specifically, HIV+ women who are depressed seek HIV care less often, have more trouble sticking with their HIV drug regimens, and have more rapid disease progression. If you are experiencing symptoms of depression, you may miss doses, take the wrong dose, or take the dose at the wrong time. Not taking your HIV drugs regularly can lead to the development of resistance, which makes HIV drugs less effective at fighting the virus. This can cause your CD4 cells to go down and/or your viral load to go up.
Even among HIV+ women with similar CD4 counts and viral loads, being depressed can double the likelihood of dying compared to having few or no symptoms of depression. For those women who made contact with a mental health provider, the risk of death was cut in half. It is important that depression be diagnosed and treated as quickly as possible to avoid serious problems.

Difficulty starting or maintaining a urine stream is called urinary hesitancy.
Delayed urination; Hesitancy; Difficulty initiating urination
Urinary hesitancy affects people of all ages and occurs in both sexes. However, it is most common in older men with an enlarged prostate gland.
Urinary hesitancy usually comes on slowly over time. You may not notice it until you are unable to urinate (urinary retention), and your bladder swells and becomes uncomfortable.
Almost all older men have some trouble with:
Urinary hesitancy can be caused by:

Call your doctor for urinary hesitancy, dribbling, or a weak urine stream if you have not already been evaluated for these problems.

Your doctor will take your medical history and perform a physical examination, paying special attention to your pelvis, rectum, abdomen, and lower back.
Medical history questions may include:

Treatment for urinary hesitancy depends on the cause. Often, medications such as alpha-blockers can relieve the symptoms. If you have a bacterial infection, your health care provider may prescribe antibiotics. You may need surgery to relieve a

Local woman spearheading effort for Free Laundromat DayWritten by Danielle Stanton | | firstname.lastname@example.com
As a branch of her extreme coupon "ministry," Joni Meyer-Crothers is calling on Toledoans to step up in their giving by "adopting" a laundromat from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 27 for Free Laundromat Day.
Meyer-Crothers, a local who has made national headlines with her book and blog on extreme couponing, is asking businesses, churches and families to pay for wash and dry cycles, detergent, fabric softener and other supplies for those in need at participating laundromats.
The community service event was born out of Meyer-Crothers' Bible-based beliefs about giving rather than receiving and helping one's neighbor.
"So many people take for granted doing their laundry, but the working poor are struggling. … How do they get their clothes washed?" Meyer-Crothers said. "There's no strings attached. That's what the Bible tells us to do: Help someone else out because who knows when we will be in that position."
In February, Meyer-Crothers held the inaugural adopt-a-laundromat at All-Wash Laundromat on Broadway Street. This time, she wants to adopt out most of Toledo's laundromats at the same time.
"We thought we could do it for the whole city," she said. "How cool would that be to have all the laundromats for three hours?"
As of press time, $1,200 has been raised, which is enough to adopt two out of 15 participating laundromats. She wants to raise $9,400 more for the 13 remaining laundromats, for a total of $10,600. That translates into 2,040 loads of laundry washed and dried.
The laundromats cost between $441 and $953 to "adopt" for three hours, based on Meyer-Crothers' calculations.
Organizations and individuals who don't want to adopt an entire laundromat can donate as little as a dollar by going to her website www.freetastesgood.com. On the website, you can also check out a video posted from February's event.
Meyer-Crothers is also seeking donations of laundry detergent, fabric softener, bleach and dryer sheets.
The event will also need to staff volunteers who will "mingle" with those who are benefiting, Meyers-Crothers said.
"It's a fellowship thing to get to know the people," she said. "We want to serve the people."
Tiffany Geer of Deshler gave a donation to Free Laundromat Day because she said she knows firsthand the struggles of not being able to afford laundry.
"When the depression hit, my husband was in construction. We went from a good income to not a good income at all," Geer said. "There were two things that were hard to come by: laundry detergent and toilet paper."
Geer said she loves being able to give back to others and works closely with Meyer-Crothers on helping to feed the homeless.
"I've seen a mother washing clothes out of a sink and you don't forget very often — it sticks with you," she said. "I hope this helps people be inspired to give back."
At February's Free Laundromat Day, 111 loads of laundry were washed and dried at the participating laundromat, Meyer-Crothers said. She said the day was "the neatest thing ever" and that she was able to help a lot of people.
"One guy was laid off and getting back to work on Monday and he had no idea how to get his laundry done," she said.
Meyer-Crothers is an "extreme couponer" frequently featured in the national media, including TLC's "Extreme Couponing," "The Today Show," "Rachael Ray," FOX News and AOL's You've Got.
She and her husband, Jamie Crothers, have seven children. She started couponing to save money on groceries after Jamie was laid off from his automotive job in 2007. A friend showed her how to use coupons, and within two weeks she had purchased $3,000 worth of food for just $100. At the time, she thought, "This isn't couponing, this is ministry."
The couple started an open pantry in their garage with a commercial freezer filled with meats, frozen vegetables and frozen dinners and a refrigerator filled with milk, butter, eggs, cheese and juice. People can go into the garage any time, day or night, and take what they need. Couponing has allowed Meyer-Crothers to help hundreds of people.
"All we ask is that when they're in a better position, they pass the blessing on to others," Meyer-Crothers has said.

"Yes absolutely (this is a fresh start)," Overeem told Bleacher Report. "I believe that both Browne and myself are top ranked fighters and the winner of this fight will be one step closer in getting a title shot, so in that sense I know this fight can put me right on track as I still have one goal in life and that's becoming the UFC heavyweight champion.
"I know there are more fighters going after that number one spot but with the nature of the sport anything can happen. So my main focus is my next fight and afterwards we will see who or when I will be fighting next."
The scrutiny surrounding Overeem since coming to the UFC has multiplied exponentially from his days fighting in Japan. He didn't make it easy on himself with the positive drug test in 2012, but after his last fight, more personal information about Overeem was released as part of the commission's testing process.
It was revealed after the fight with Silva that Overeem had dangerously low levels of testosterone in his body for the bout. Overeem was tested consistently by the Nevada Commission after his original test produced high results in 2012, and in the subsequent tests he came back with extremely low levels of testosterone, which can cause a myriad of health problemsmany related to MMA.
As these issues hit the headlines, Overeem's athletic career intersected with his personal life. Overeem took it all in stride, however, saying that he signed up for this by deciding to become a professional fighter and that once that line is crossed, privacy is a thing of the past.
"I don't pay real attention to it all and it comes with the job anyway, being in the spotlight and fighting for so many fans over the world you become subject for personal things," Overeem said. "It's not always nice but at the end it's something you signed for when you wanted to be a professional fighter so it comes with the territory."
While Overeem's name in the headlines over the last couple of years has been as much about his out-of-competition life as what he's done in the cage, he's happy to turn the focus back on fighting.
Facing a very tough heavyweight in Travis Browne, Overeem knew this was a good way to get back into the title picture and erase the harsh memories of his last trip to the Octagon.
"Travis is a good fighter who has a pretty all-round game so he will be dangerous, I'm not going to underestimate him," Overeem said. "I just wanted to fight as quick as possible and Travis made the most sense to put together. A lot of other ranked fighters had their fight or got a fight scheduled so it was the most logical choice for the UFC to make as I told them that I didn't want to wait for a certain opponent."

Apple.com returning search results for "iPhone 5", including press release URL
I can't believe how clever people are, finding this stuff, and still surprised Apple web folks couldn't keep that under wraps until the show. But I know it's got to be hard to keep that much new information (parts, web pages, PR releases, etc.) all a secret.
iTunes 11 would be most welcome, particularly since scrolling the multiple subscreens, both vertically and horizontally, sucks big time. Also, you can't burn more than one CD at a time (i.e., simoultaneously using and OEM's laptop burner and an external burner). Plus, how I wish you could apply many more filters and sub-filters for music search on the iTunes Store. Amazon won't sell digital music outside the US, FR, DE, UK, and few others. This is why the iTunes store still fares so well internationaly, despite iTunes 10's many shortcomings.
A bluetooth Nano would be heaven.
i was wondering the same thing. try all different variations of the search. maybe you will get lucky.
This announcment has been ruined for me with all the leeks. I am not exited anymore. :(
Interesting Article .And i would like to Share an App with you friends .I found an New App while surfing in the internet .Its Awesome .I would like to have .Please check it out this App .
@mike. Save your sales pitches for somewhere else, jerk off.
Which has zero to do with this conversation. Troll.
that really is true, i remember the leak of the iphone 4, within 24 hours stuff was pulled from the internet and people were being investigated. Makes you wonder if these leaks were planned by apple to blow us away with something completely different then we are expecting. unlikely but if it were......hmmm
Personally I'm more excited for the after event. It's like a yearly ritual to see just how the iPhone didn't live up to all the hype that people had built up for it. I also enjoy reading how it's going to be the biggest flop of all time, and how nobody is going to want to spend money on such a small incremental change. And a few weeks after all that it really cracks me up how each and ever person who claimed they were done with Apple post in the "I've got mine" threads after not only buying the phone they said there weren't going to buy, but also paying full non subsidized price for the product. That's what I'm excited for...
did anyone else see the big 5 as the 12s shadow? i think that was a big clue hahahah
Why do I read everywhere that the event is held at 5PM and we'll get news by 9PM on ET???
After selling my 3GS, I've been keeping an eye out for something from Apple that would bring me back. But it hasnt happened yet. There just isn't any harware or software that is truely stands out. It looks the same, it acts the same...no major updated software. I'll be watching today, but I really dont see anything leeked that is really spectacular. Am I missing something? What are everyone elses reasons to ditch their 4S for the 5? Bigger screen? I saw the keynote on the Lumia 920...that looks pretty cool. I like the idea of wireless charging and the screen seems to be boasted as better than retina display. And if the camera is as good as the youtube videos I've been seeing...its quite the monster. Your thoughts? (P.S. Siri isn't so hot. I've played with my folks and some of my friends...while I like the humour and personality, she is kinda useless. I hope the upgrade in iOS6 is more than what they claim, because TellMe does most of that already. Anyone try voice assistance on Android? Never tried it)

Juárez was a bustling city of 1.3 million that was the fourth economic power in Mexico. It saw a boom of U.S. manufacturing factories called maquiladoras that paid Mexican workers low wages, about $4 per day, after the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994.
But now Juárez is emptying out, and up to 100,000 people are estimated to have fled.
"A lot of my friends and all of my relatives have moved to El Paso," said one woman, also speaking on condition of anonymity. "I have two nephews who are doctors in Juárez. They still have their business over there, but they boarded it up. One of them was assaulted three times in his office. The last time it was people with guns."
It's hard to find any local government presence; the mayor of Ciudad Juárez, Jose Reyes Ferriz, runs his administration mostly from El Paso, residents say. He is a vehement supporter of the military presence in his city. In early March, a pig's head with a note reading, "you're next" was found outside his Juárez residence.
"The army will remain in Juárez for the time being," he said at a news conference March 27. "It has done an excellent job and has controlled the delinquency rate, the robbery of banks and car thefts."
At this point, bank robberies and auto theft seem minor in a city where children can walk out the door on any given day and see a bleeding body outside their homes. But it is the apparent policy the Mexican government, quite different from prior administrations, is intent on following for the near future.
"The White House thought the violence and corruption was a Mexican problem that wouldn't affect the United States," Chabat said. "And Mexico thought the consumption of drugs was a U.S. problem. . . . Time has proven that both perceptions are erroneous, and whether we like it or not, the phenomenon of drug trafficking must be confronted by both governments. If we don't, the chaos will overpower both nations."
It's certainly overpowering Juárez, rapidly becoming a dilapidated, lawless city where only those who don't have other options stay. Many of the poor who came in droves during the maquiladora boom are returning to the southern states they came from. The Juárez business group called Coparmex estimates about 40 of the 300 or so factories have shut down in the past two years, costing thousands of jobs.
The Juárez Chamber of Commerce, meanwhile, estimates 10,000 businesses have been forced to close. Many owners can't or refuse to pay the bribes that gangs demand for protection. Dozens of businessmen have been kidnapped for ransom, and countless businesses have been torched, leaving central shopping centers empty and boarded-up. The once-popular discotheque Broncos and Cowgirls was burned down a few months ago by extortionists, and the surrounding shopping mall in Plaza las Americas has few cars in its parking lots.
In the Plaza de las Armas, the once-bustling plaza that thrived selling blankets and silver to American tourists, has disappeared. Although locals still go there to sell hot dogs or get their shoes shined for a semblance of normalcy, it empties out in the afternoon after people return from work.
"There are less people in the plazas, in all public areas, hotels, dance halls, shops. A lot of people are imprisoned in their homes," said the Reverend Carlos Reza, 32, a priest in the city's main cathedral. Reza tells his flock in sermons that what is happening in Juárez is similar to the persecutions of early Christians and Israelites, meaning, this too shall pass.
High unemployment and lack of education among those 18 to 25 years of age—the age group that comprises around 40 percent of the population in Juárez—has clearly fed criminal activity and crimes of opportunity, but so have low wages of about $5 per day, a rate that has gone up only about $1 since NAFTA went into effect, fueling an underground drug economy that's attractive to the young and poor with no other options to make a living.
"We have watched with mounting distress as the narcos become more powerful. They are lawless. They are terrorists. They control the Mexican side of the border," said Alejandro Junco, owner of Grupo Reforma, the largest newspaper company in Latin America, speaking at World Affairs Council luncheon in San Antonio on March 25.
"The rule of law in our democracy hangs by a thread. Those who are not corrupted cannot contain the lawlessness.
"The reason so many young men join the bloodstained hands is they would rather live one week like a king than endure a life of misery for 70 years. Our sad reality is that if you are born poor and you don't leave the country, poverty is your destiny if you don't become a hit man."
Junco, 61, employs some 4,000 Mexican reporters and most wear bulletproof vests. Like other Mexican newspapers, Junco's dailies of Reforma, El Nortein Monterrey and Mural in Guadalajara have forgone bylines in drug stories.
Junco himself has been the target of death threats, and like prominent figures who speak out, he says he has lost faith in the Mexican government. He spends much of his time in Austin.

It's the world's first power-folding stroller: at the touch of a button, it folds itself. To open or close the stroller, just push that button and relax while the rest takes care of itself.
Built-in Generator:
Products for kids consume millions of alkaline batteries each year, and we didn't want to add to that total. The Origami has built-in generators so the system recharges itself while you walk. Sure, you can plug it into a wall or even fold it manually if you need to, but a short walk is all it takes to keep the battery fully charged. It's hard to be greener than that.
We've heard it before: won't it eat my baby? Never fear: the Origami's strictly vegetarian. Built-in sensors means it won't fold a child in the seat, and the two-step activation system means you won't fold it by accident. Plus, the Origami has daytime running lights to keep it visible at all times, and pathway lights to brighten your way in low-light conditions.
LCD Screen:
The LCD interface makes the Origami so easy to use our grandmothers can do it (no offense, Grandma). Plus, the Origami knows things. All you have to do is look at the display to confirm it knows a child is in the seat, or how charged the battery is, or how far you've walked. Easy, convenient, and very cool.
infant stroller mode: 27 lbs
toddler stroller mode: 32 lbs
Weight and Age Limits - Origami with seat ring: 40 lbs (usually about two years) Origami with car seat adapter: follow the weight and age limits of your specific car seat
Dimensions - Open - wheel base - 32 inches long, 28 inches wide at the rear. Front wheels to handlebar - 41 inches long. Height - 39 inches. Closed - length: 38 inches, width: 21 inches, height: 14 inches
Materials - Aluminum tubes, polyester fabric, foam rubber composite tires, lithium polymer battery
Care - Wipe down the plastic or aluminum parts of the Origami with mild soap and water. The seat insert and storage bag are machine-washable. We recommend you not store the Origami below freezing temperatures, as this can decrease battery life.

POMEROY — Two people were arrested Sunday morning in what is being described as the largest heroin bust in Meigs County to date.
Meigs County Sheriff Keith O. Wood reports the arrest of Andrew "Luke" Barstow of Pomeroy and Anthony R. Wervey of Middleport, both age 23, for aggravated possession of a controlled substance, a felony of the second degree.
Deputies located the two males, along with Barstow's two-year-old son, in a vehicle at the 124 Mart gas station along Ohio 7 and Ohio 124 near Pomeroy at 11:24 a.m. Sunday. After a search of the vehicle, 7.5 grams of what was suspected to be black tar heroin was located along with syringes and several suboxone pills. A search was completed of the residence where both males were staying, and additional heroin was found there along with a white powder substance believed to be cocaine with additional syringes.
The street value for the amount of heroin found is reportedly approximately $4,500.
Barstow and Wervey each made their initial appearance in Meigs County Court on Monday morning.
Bond for Wervey was set at $50,000 and bond for Barstow was set at $25,000. Attorney Charles Knight was appointed to represent Wervey and Attorney Trenton Cleland was appointed to represent Barstow.
Barstow is being held in the Meigs County Jail and Wervey in the Middleport Jail.
The Meigs County Sheriff's Office was assisted by Meigs County Department of Jobs and Family Services.
A preliminary hearing for each defendant is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 8.

Treasury's green light for Albion Square plan
Last updated at 11:13, Thursday, 05 April 2012
THE Government has this week given the green light to Whitehaven's £20 million Albion Square scheme.
The Treasury had looked into all the options for moving workers from Sellafield. It has told the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority that Albion Square represents the best value for money.
As many as 900 staff will move to work in Albion Square's four-storey office accommodation at the Preston Street Lane end of Whitehaven.
At this stage it is believed Britain's Energy Coast has around £3 million available to kick-start the development but project partners are confident of attracting a private sector developer both to put in a sizeable investment and take on a building lease.
"The Treasury confirmation that Albion Square will provide value for money is welcome and exciting," said Copeland Council leader Elaine Woodburn. "Bringing 900 more people into Whitehaven town centre to work and shop is a massive boost towards injecting vitality into the town centre."
Work is already underway leading to demolition of existing buildings so construction can start.
Albion Square is expected to be ready for use late in 2013.
The NDA's next step apart from tying up a developer deal will be to appoint a project team to drive forward a development.
Britain's Energy Coast chairman, ex-energy minister Brian Wilson, said: "This latest step forward is testament to the hard work and commitment towards a project which we and our partners have maintained throughout all the challenges presented.
"Albion Square will confirm that Whitehaven is very much open for business and can provide space to rival that found in Britain's major city centres. Bringing hundreds of workers from the relative isolation of the Sellafield site into the heart of Whitehaven will create a real economic boost."
Coun Woodburn stressed: "The Albion Square project is the one that will bring the biggest possible impact on the regeneration of Whitehaven with a significant number of workers coming into the town centre and no doubt using our shops and services.
"I'm delighted we now have confirmation that the project can move ahead."
The NDA's new chief executive, John Clarke, described it as "a significant step forward for both ourselves and Sellafield Ltd's aspirations to maximise the broader economic benefits of relocating staff from Sellafield site.
"We can now really get to grips with driving forward a development which has a key role in enhancing Whitehaven town centre and the wider Britain's Energy Coast programme."

Whitehaven will become Slough-on-Sea.

CONCORD, N.C. – The 2012 WKA Mazda / Bridgestone Manufacturers Cup Series closes its 2012 season this weekend with the McLaughlin Motorsports Grand Nationals at the popular New Castle Motorsports Park in New Castle, Indiana.
The 2-cycle national sprint series, which began in the final days of 2011 at Daytona Int'l Speedway's Sprint Course, finishes another strong season that has seen four of the first five events surpass the 550 overall entry count.
Pre-entry numbers for this weekend's Grand Nationals have surpassed the count for the 2011 Grand Nationals at New Castle, which boasted a fine overall count of 570.
But when practice opens Friday morning entry counts won't be on the racers' and teams' minds. National titles are on the line and dozens of drivers enter New Castle with a shot at one national title or more. In addition, feature race winners will be awarded prestigious Grand National Eagle trophies and 50 bonus points will go to all drivers that make weight and pass tech.
Here's a breakdown of the national championship battles in the 17 Man Cup divisions.
Paley has a slim 26-point lead on Jason Welage for second. Daytona winner Max Kaeser is fourth and Sam Mayer rounds out the top five.
Brandon Lemke has won races in Yamaha and Komet Sportsman but continues to look for his first Cadet score. He sits third, only five points back of Malukas. Zach Holden has two wins but like Malukas, also has some DNFs; he's fourth. Braden Eves has one win at Kershaw and enters the weekend fifth, just ahead of his PCR teammate Leonardo Stoia.
Holden has one win (Norway) while Lemke and Stoia each have won twice.
Kosmic racer Nick Luedeke has been top five throughout much of the season but is still looking for his first Man Cup victory. Brandon Lemke and David Malukas round out the top five.
Holden's most difficult chore in his bid for a Triple Crown comes in this class because he needs help to win it. Unofficially, he'd have to win and hope Lemke finishes third or worse.
David Malukas is on the outside looking in. He's third, 62 points back of Lemke, but his drop doesn't help him. Leonardo Stoia is fourth and Neil Verhagen fifth.
Kalish enters Komet Jr Lite a cool 180 points in front of Ashley Rogero, but if you calculate the drop, Kalish is only 71 points ahead of Rogero. Mike McAndrews has been hot as of late and enters the Lite version of Komet Jr third in the points. Jens is fourth and first year Junior wheelman Grant Quinlan sits fifth.
No driver has won more than once in the class. Kalish, Rogero, McAndrews, Kyle Kirkwood and England's James Kellett, who won Daytona, have stood atop the podium.
Grant Quinlan has been quiet this year but is top five in this class as well as Komet Jr Lire. Quinlan is only 56 back of McAndrews while Garrett Johnston is fifth, 66 points out of the lead.
Joel Jens is third but needs a top finish and Kirkwood and Kalish to finish outside the top five for any shot at a championship. Mike McAndrews is fourth and Jake Johnston fifth in the series' largest division. Seventy drivers have started a Yamaha Jr Heavy feature in 2012.
Cal Stewart won the opening two rounds at Daytona and Kershaw but has been shut out since. He's still third in the points. Jacob Knueven is fourth and MRP victor Chris Wehrheim rounds out the top five.
But when calculating the drops its much closer. Wehrheim is only 47 points ahead of Andersen, while Chelootz is only 52 points out of the lead and Bujdoso just 57 points back of Wehrheim.
Robert Bujdoso is third with one win at Kershaw, Tommy Andersen fourth and T.J. Koyen fifth.
There have been five different winners in five races. Pesek, McCusker, Olsen, Kyle Kuntze and Jimmy Clark have all won Supercan Heavy mains this season.
Pre-entry pickup runs from 3 to 6 p.m. Thursday. Official practice is 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday. Eleven national classes run Saturday and nine on Sunday. Practice begins at 8:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday with qualifying, pre-finals and final to follow.

Bacterial Meningitis: What You Need to Know
Effective November 1, 2012, Texas law requires most incoming college students to be vaccinated against bacterial meningitis or provide an exemption request declining the vaccine. Senate Bill 1107 amends current Texas law requiring proof of Bacterial Meningitis vaccination at least 10 days before attending classes.
All students must meet the bacterial meningitis compliance requirement to register for classes.
Meeting the state meningitis compliance requirement is part of the registration process. Student access to class registration is blocked until evidence of compliance with meningitis requirements is completed. Students should plan ahead to meet compliance requirements and eliminate registration delays. Confirm your compliance status by signing into myLoneStar.
You are REQUIRED to provide proof of vaccination or exemption if any of the following apply:
- You are enrolling in college for the first time as a credit student.
- You are returning to college after a break in enrollment of one, or more, fall or spring semesters.
- You are transferring to LSC for the fall or spring semester from another college or university following a break in enrollment of one, or more, fall or spring semesters.

About Bacterial Meningitis
Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. The severity of illness and treatment differs depending on whether it is caused by a virus or bacterium. Viral meningitis is generally less severe and clears up without specific treatment. Bacterial meningitis can be severe and may result in brain damage, hearing loss, or learning disabilities. It is also important to know what type of bacterial meningitis, because antibiotics can prevent some types from spreading and infecting other people.
Haemophilus influenzaetype b (Hib) was the leading cause of bacterial meningitis before the 1990s. Since the Hib vaccine is now given to all children as part of their routine immunizations, the number of Hib infections and related meningitis cases has declined. Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis are now the leading causes of bacterial meningitis.
High fever, headache, and stiff neck are common symptoms of meningitis in anyone over the age of 2 years. These symptoms can develop over several hours or take 1 to 2 days. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, discomfort looking into bright lights, confusion, and sleepiness. Infants with meningitis may appear slow or inactive, have vomiting, be irritable, or feeding poorly. As the disease progresses, patients of any age may have seizures.
Some forms of bacterial meningitis are contagious. The bacteria is mainly spread from person to person through the exchange of respiratory and throat secretions. This can occur through coughing, kissing, and sneezing, yet none of the bacteria that cause meningitis are as contagious as the common cold or flu. The bacteria are not spread by casual contact or by simply breathing the air where a person with meningitis has been.
Sometimes the bacteria that cause meningitis have spread to other people who have had close or prolonged contact with a patient with meningococcal meningitis or Hib. People in the same household or daycare center or anyone with direct contact with a patient's oral secretions (such as a boyfriend or girlfriend) would be considered at increased risk of getting the infection. People who qualify as close contacts of a person with meningitis caused by N. meningitides should receive antibiotics (prophylaxis) to prevent them from getting the disease. This is if there is 1 household contact younger than 48 months who has not been fully immunized against Hib or a child with a weakened immune system, then the entire household, regardless of age, should receive prophylaxis.
Reducing Your Risks of Infection
Follow good hygiene practices:
- Wash your hands thoroughly and often
- Clean contaminated surfaces with soap and water or a disinfecting solution.
- Cover your cough by coughing into your upper arm or using a tissue. After using a tissue, place it in the trash and wash your hands.
- Avoid kissing or sharing a drinking glass, eating utensil, lipstick, or other such items with sick people or with others when you are sick.
- Receiving vaccinations as recommended.
- Try to avoiding bites from mosquitoes and other insects that carry diseases that can infect humans
- If you have a rodent infestation in and around your home, take cleaning and control precautions as recommended by the CDC.
The CDC and Texas State Department of Health Services provide the following general guidelines to determine when one can return to work after developing meningitis:
NOTE: Individuals who have had meningitis should stay away from school and work for as long as symptoms exist. This could be for an extended period of time. It is highly recommended that an individual seek guidance from their health care professional or the local health department to determine when it is appropriate to return to work or school.

I jump into bed - thump, thump bumpety bump.
I am all tucked in when from down the hallway
I hear creak, creak, crinch!
And I wonder, who's there? What child hasn't wondered the very same thing when the night makes everything sound creakier and squeakier? As a little bunny tries to get to sleep, it's sure it hears bumps and thumps from the hall. Could it be a Crusty, Dumply Ogre? Or maybe it's a Two-headed Grumbly Snoop!? The door slowly opens and . . . it's just bunny's little brother, pulling his noisy pull toy along behind him. Little bunnies everywhere will smile with sleepy relief.

Local author raises human trafficking awareness with new novelWritten by Jordan Finney | | email@example.com
He's talked to sailboat enthusiasts, helicopter pilots and SWAT teams. He's traveled the Cayman Islands, Sunshine State and New Orleans. He's a self-published novelist with eight award-winning books to his name and an imagination wild enough to write many more.
Bob Adamov never quite knows where his research will go or how a story will end. It's like putting the pieces of a puzzle together without having a box to know what the picture looks like.
"I never know where he'll take something. I just can't wait to see what he'll write next," said Adamov's wife, Cathy. "His imagination really doesn't stop. He can talk to people and all of a sudden he gets this look about him and I think 'Oh here he goes, there's a story here.' I'm starting to be a better listener because of him."
The mystery-adventure writer from Put-in-Bay spends about a year researching before he begins writing a book. The investigation begins with a list of scene ideas, maybe some catchy one-liners. Then, Adamov fashions a rough working outline that evolves as he meets new people and new plotlines develop.
"One reader told me I use the 'prego' approach to writing: if you want it, it's in there," Adamov said, chuckling. "I'm also a prankster. I look at my books as a fun opportunity to pull pranks on thousands of people, tease readers. I also try to be accessible and visible with them so I can ask 'Were you surprised? Did this prank work?'"
Newspaper headlines or a random, entertaining anecdote can explode into a book chapter. Even Adamov's personal experiences — like sitting at a seafood house near a rough-looking biker crowd only to realize his face is plastered with sparkles from suntan lotion — get added to his stories.
"I think the author's main character has to embody what the author is to some extent," said Mike Steidl, who helped copy edit Adamov's newest book "Zenobia: The Patriot Way." "When you get a description of Emerson Moore's personality, you can see a lot of Bob in that. Inquisitive, adventurous, generous."
In addition, Adamov often incorporates acquaintances, friends and local personalities into his writing.
"It's so much fun to read about yourself as a semi-fictionalized character. It's a thrill, actually, to be part of the process," said friend Mike "Mad Dog" Adams, who appears throughout "The Other Side of Hell." "Bob reminds me of his literary hero, a famous author by the name of Clive Cussler. Each book gets better. I'm a rave reviewer."
Inspiration can happen at any time. If Adamov's enjoying a movie, but thinks it should go in a different direction, he bustles over to his computer and types out the inspiration behind a scene.
"I'm always listening, watching, writing notes," Adamov said. "If an idea hits, I'll want to jot it down. If I don't have paper, I'll call myself and leave a message. It's important to capture ideas while they're fresh. And if it's really hot, I'll sit down and write it out. It could even be the subject of my next book."
While researching with a SWAT team in Naples, Florida, Adamov stumbled upon a "really hot" idea, which led to his latest thriller, "Zenobia: The Patriot Way."
"In 'Zenobia,' I take a hard look at human trafficking. I'm not an expert, but I tried to use my novel as a tool to create more awareness in readers' minds about it," Adamov said. "All those atrocities in the book actually took place — I didn't make any up. That's why I call my books 'faction,' not fiction. I mix so much fact and true detail into the story."
Research for 'Zenobia' included extensive interviews with local experts, including University of Toledo professor Celia Williamson, Toledo Police Department Detective Peter Scwartz, Lucas County Juvenile Court Judge Connie Zemmelman, and Tasha Perdue of the Lucas County Human Trafficking Coalition.
The novel opens in Vukovar, Croatia, where Adamov's Serbian father used to live. Protoganist Emerson Moore ventures to Vukovar for an investigative reporting assignment, giving readers a cursory glance at the Serbian-Croatian war. Near its middle, Zenobia's plot advances to the present day, with Moore investigating the disappearance of two women while he's working undercover in Toledo. The final third of Adamov's novel carefully examines the sex trafficking industry's many human rights violations.
Adamov said he felt shocked to learn the hushed horrors of domestic human trafficking, and especially how its common perpetrators include clergy members, truck drivers, businessmen and police officers.
"I thought I was a savvy guy, but there's a lot going on I had no idea about," he said. "I take readers up to a closed door and that's where it stops, no sex or strong language in my books. It's just not my style. They're PG, maybe PG-13 because of violent graphics. My daughter is still my little girl and I wouldn't write anything that would offend her."
A portion of proceeds from "Zenobia" will be donated to Second Chance, a Toledo-based service initiative dedicated to supporting victims of domestic sex trafficking and prostitution, and the Lucas County Human Trafficking Coalition.

The Separate Prison from the air, here solitary confinement and being locked up for 23 hours per day was the norm.
In 1848, harsh physical punishment within the prison was rejected in favour of punishment of the mind. Flogging gave way to solitary confinement.
The Separate Prison was built at Port Arthur in 1850. Cruciform-shaped, each of the four wings comprised a central corridor flanked by rows of solitary confinement cells. Separated by thick sandstone walls, it was hoped that the convicts would benefit from contemplative silence and separation.
As you enter the Prison, a voice reads out the Rules and Regulations of the Separate Prison as they were read to each man who was imprisoned here. Your echoing steps along the central hall take you to A Wing, and the cells where the men spent their days—sleeping, waking, working and eating.
In the narrow exercise yard, you find yourself surrounded by high, imposing walls, revealing a sliver of sky, your only link to the outside world.
A major conservation and interpretation program is in progress at the Separate Prison, creating a new and powerful insight into the experiences of the prisoners who were confined here.
Several further stages of conservation and interpretation at the Separate Prison will be implemented over the next few years, ultimately creating an innovative interpretative experience of life in the dreaded Separate Prison of Port Arthur.
Downloadable factsheet about the Separate Prison building, and the reform system it was founded upon.
Learn more about the conservation and interpretation program is in progress at the Separate Prison.
