Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a life-threatening disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). An estimated 1.1 million Americans are infected with HIV, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Approximately one-quarter of those infected are unaware of their status.
HIV damages the immune system and destroys CD4 positive T cells. The purpose of these cells is to help coordinate your body's ability to fight infections. As HIV progresses, your body's ability to fight infections decreases and you become more susceptible to a wide variety of infections and other diseases. Doctors typically diagnose AIDS when an infected person develops one or more particular infections like pneumonia or tuberculosis, or when your T cell count drops to less than 200 cells per cubic millimeter of blood, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Symptoms of HIV/AIDS vary depending on the stage of infection. This is mainly defined by the degree to which your CD4 cell count has dropped. Within two weeks of developing an HIV infection, you may experience flu-like symptoms that can last up to two months. These include:
- headache
- fever
- muscle aches and joint pain
- body chills
- sore throat
- swollen lymph glands
Initial symptoms of an HIV infection may also include night sweats, diarrhea, and skin rash. However, some people don't show symptoms during the early stage.
HIV Causes
HIV is a sexually transmitted disease. The virus can pass from person to person through contact with infected blood, semen, or vaginal fluids. Having unprotected sex with an infected partner increases your risk of infection.
Other risk factors for HIV/AIDS include having a blood transfusion and sharing needles or syringes with an infected person. Infected mothers may pass the virus to their children during pregnancy or through breast-feeding. Although it remains a controversial topic, some studies suggest that uncircumcised men have a higher risk for HIV, according to the Mayo Clinic.
HIV Diagnosis and Tests
If you're sexually active or if you think you've been exposed to the virus, talk to your doctor about testing. You can infect others with the virus even if you don't have symptoms of HIV.
In order to determine if you have HIV, your doctor may test your blood and look for antibodies specific to HIV. However, that initial round of testing may not detect the virus. It can sometimes take up to one to three months for an HIV antibody test to become positive. If you test negative, doctors may recommend follow-up testing in a couple of months. They may also conduct a test that's able to identify an HIV protein in newly infected people.
If you're diagnosed with HIV infection, you'll need to see an infectious disease specialist who has experience treating HIV patients. Your doctor will complete additional tests to determine how severe your infection is. These tests include the following.
CD4 Cell Count
This test determines how many CD4 cells are present in a sample of your blood.
Viral Load
This is a test that tells your doctor the amount of virus in your blood.
Drug Resistance
Some strains of the virus are resistant to certain medications used for the treatment of HIV. This test helps your doctor determine the best combination of drugs to treat your infection. Simply because you've never been treated for HIV before doesn't mean that the virus you've been infected with hasn't been exposed to antiretroviral drugs before. The virus may have been exposed to antiretroviral drugs in the person who transmitted the virus to you. The initial drug resistance test can allow your doctor to create a treatment plan that will work for you.
HIV/AIDS Treatment
HIV can develop into AIDS in about 10 years if left untreated, according to the Mayo Clinic. There's no cure for HIV/AIDS, but treatment can slow the progression of the disease and improve your quality of life.
Once you're diagnosed with the virus doctors prescribe antiretroviral therapy (ART). These medications can stop HIV from multiplying in the body and reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to others. There are five classes of anti-HIV drugs. Your doctor will likely prescribe multiple drugs to help control the virus. Drugs used to treat HIV/AIDS include:
- non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs)
- nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs)
- protease inhibitors (PIs)
- entry or fusion inhibitors
- integrase inhibitors
HIV/AIDS is a chronic condition that requires lifelong treatment. You'll need periodic blood testing to check your viral load and CD4 count. This helps your doctor determine whether treatment is working. In addition to addressing side effects or complications, this will guide their decisions about future treatments.
HIV/AIDS Complications
Because HIV damages your immune system, you may have more infections that a person who doesn't have the virus. The risk for infection increases as the disease progresses and your CD4 count drops. People with HIV also have an increased risk for certain cancers like lymphoma. Possible complications of HIV/AIDS include:
- tuberculosis
- forgetfulness, confusion and other neurological complications
- depression and anxiety
- candidiasis
- pneumonia
- pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP)
The infection can also directly affect your organs and cause problems with your kidneys, liver, heart, and brain.
HIV/AIDS Prevention
HIV and AIDS are preventable. In order to protect yourself, avoid contact with infected bodily fluids like blood, semen, breast milk, and vaginal secretion. Don't have unprotected sex and don't reuse condoms. Also, never share a needle with anyone. Wear gloves if you're helping someone with an injury or cut to avoid contact with blood.
It's important that you get tested for the virus and you should encourage your partner to get tested. If you're pregnant and test positive for HIV/AIDS, talk with your doctor about effective medical interventions that can significantly reduce your baby's risk of HIV infection.

The Mercy redevelopment project in Watertown was a big winner in economic development funding announced Wednesday by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.
COR Development Co., Fayetteville, scored a $2.1 million grant that will go toward transforming the vacant complex into a mixed-use development with commercial, business and residential components.
Announced in Albany, the funding comes through the third round of Regional Economic Development Councils and is among $81.3 million in projects in the north country.
Another Watertown project also was funded. They are: $250,000 for renovation of the Lincoln Building and $150,000 for Neighbors of Watertown Inc. also received money for that project.
COR President Steven F. Aiello said Wednesday the funding will be used for environmental cleanup of the site, demolition and some infrastructure work. So far, the project received $2 million last year in Regional Economic Development Council money and $2 million from the Development Authority of the North Country.
It gets us out of the gate, Mr. Aiello said.
The environmental cleanup of the mammoth complex, at 218 Stone St., is slated to begin this month, with demolition to follow.
Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham thanked Lt. Gov. Robert J. Duffy and Gov. Cuomo for their continued involvement in the $65 million to $70 million project. Mr. Graham mentioned that city and business leaders were able to point out its importance when the lieutenant governor visited Watertown last year.
Its something that the state needs to be involved in because its so big and has the potential to transform downtown, he said.
The project should take 24 to 36 months to complete. The site will be transformed into 168 residential units and 42,000 square feet of shops and offices.
In September, COR took ownership of the former Mercy Hospital complex after closing the deal to acquire the propertys deed from MGNH Inc., the defunct Lake Katrine company that had shown little interest in it for years.
Until COR stepped in, local officials feared the city was going to get stuck with the series of buildings that make up the Mercy complex and eventually have to spend millions of dollars to demolish them.
The complex became vacant last winter when Samaritan Medical Center moved the residents of Mercy Care Center of Northern New York into Samaritan Summit Village on outer Washington Street.
COR has a history of investment in the Watertown area, spending millions to develop the Towne Center shopping complex on outer Arsenal Street, which includes Target and Kohls department stores, as well as the 296-unit Beaver Meadow Apartments behind the shopping center on Route 3 in the town of Watertown.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will recruit 520 treatment-naive and 150 treatment-experienced patients to take the first line or second line of antiviral therapy. This study aims to set up a well-trained clinical and laboratory team in China, to explore the effects and side-effects of the first-line and the second line of ARV treatment in Chinese HIV/AIDS adult patients, to investigate the side-effects of ARV drugs, such as hepatotoxicity, lipoatrophy, cardiovascular influence, to explore the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of Chinese generic ARV regiments and effective drug concentrations and to explore primary and secondary drug resistance in China and the immune reconstitution characters of long term ARV in Chinese adult AIDS patients. This study might provide more practical and optimizing prove for the treatment guideline for resource limited areas.
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
HIV Infections
Drug: first line ARV (3TC+NVP+D4T or 3TC+NVP+AZT)
Drug: second line ARV therapy (3TC+TDF+LPV/RTV)
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single Blind (Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Research on the Antiretroviral Therapy and Immune Reconstitution on Chinese HIV/AIDS Patients
- To set up a platform of antiviral therapy network all of CHINA, to obtain evidence to make first line or second line ARV treatment strategy for HIV/AIDS patients in resource limited areas. [ Time Frame: two years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Set up our own antiviral therapy guideline and drug side-effects, drug concentration and immune reconstitution result. [ Time Frame: two years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|March 2009
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|December 2010
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Treatment-naive
To explore the efficiency and safety of generic antiretroviral drugs for 520 treatment-naive HIV/AIDS patients
Drug: first line ARV (3TC+NVP+D4T or 3TC+NVP+AZT)
use the generic regimens: 3TC+NVP+D4T or 3TC+NVP+AZT to initiate the ARV therapy, after 6 months, half of the group 3TC+NVP+D4T patients switch to the the treatment of 3TC+NVP+AZT
No Intervention: TREATMENT-EXPERIENCED
To explore the long term ARV of treatment-experienced patients who have no sign of drug resistance; to explore the long term efficiency and safety and drug sife effects of ARV in HIV/AIDS patients. These patients have taken ARV for approximately 3 years already.
Experimental: drug resistance
To explore the second line drugs for those drug resistance patients
Drug: second line ARV therapy (3TC+TDF+LPV/RTV)
Use 3TC+TDF+LPV/RTV to treat those drug resistance patients, to explore the efficiency and safety of the second line ARV available in China
Detailed Description:
Three arms will be studied in this research, 520 naive-treatment patients would be randomized to two groups, taking the generic drugs 3TC+D4T+NVP or AZT+3TC+NVP, 6 months later half of the 3TC+D4T+NVP group will switch to AZT+3TC+NVP, in order to observe the efficiency and safety of the first line drugs. Arm 2 will recruit 100 patients who are taking ARV for about three years already. Arm 3 will recruit 150 patients who have a Viral load of more than 1000 copies/ml, i.e., drug resistance. The second line drug 3TC+TDF+LPV/RTV will given to them and the safety and efficiency will be observed. All patients should be explored in terms of the clinical features, drugs side-effects, and immunological and viral response. The drug concentration and the metabolism changes would be explored also. Also the immune reconstitution will be studied for all patients. This study will be the first large-scale, multicentered, randomised, prospective ARV therapy study in China for HIV/AIDs patients. The result would provide proves for further practical antiviral therapy for China or other resource limited countries.

The 14 Style Rules You Should Break
- 1 of 15
Who doesn't love a challenge? Here are 14 chic, approachable outfits to inspire you.
- 2 of 15PHOTO: Camille Over The Rainbow
Sneakers Should Never Leave The Gym
Giving your feet a break doesn't mean you have to look sloppy. Sneakers look great outside the gym, just ditch the socks and wear with a crisp button-down, cropped pants and a tailored coat for a pulled together weekend look.
- 3 of 15PHOTO: Vanessa Jackman
Sequins Are Only For The Evening
If you weren't convinced by our most recent Trend Trial, take a cue from Erin Wasson and mix a sequin piece with simple separates, like a white tee and jeans. Sequins also pair brilliantly with army green, so try layering a chunky sweater and army jacket over your holiday dress to give it a new lease on life.
- 4 of 15PHOTO: Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images
Navy And Black Clash
The trick here is to make sure that it looks intentional. Do this by choosing a rich blue navy that is clearly distinguishable from the black, and the result is actually a very flattering, and slimming, combination.
- 5 of 15PHOTO: Tommaso Boddi/WireImage
Shorter Girls Can't Wear Midi Skirts
Select a style that highlights the waist and hits just below the knee, choose eye-catching heels and a more fitted silhouette—leave the super poofs for your tall friends.
- 6 of 15PHOTO: We Wore What
Head-to-toe Denim Is A No-No
A denim shirt tucked into fitted, cropped jeans provides a great canvas for a bold statement coat. Trepidatious beginners should try mixing different shades of denim.
- 7 of 15
No White After Labor Day
Winter white is universally flattering and a breath of fresh air in a crowd of black cocktail dresses. Flaunt your adventurous nature by pairing it with white accessories.
- 8 of 15PHOTO: Natalie Off Duty
Socks With Sandals Are For 80's Tourists
You can wear your open-toed sandals in the winter—what more do we need to say? After all, are tights really that different from pants and socks in the same color? Nope!
- 9 of 15PHOTO: Vanessa Jackman
Faux Fur Looks Cheap
Not anymore, thanks to all of the fabulous new and very realistic versions that are on offer. Opt for a scarf or collar in a natural color (read: no orange) and it will add something special to an all-black winter outfit.
- 10 of 15PHOTO: Neil P. Mockford/FilmMagic for J. Crew
Your Bra Should Never Show
Not that we suggest strutting around in a fishnet top, but sometimes a suggestion of lingerie under a slightly sheer blouse is an alluring alternative to exposed skin. Keep everything else ladylike and choose a high-necked blouse, or let a delicate bra peek out from a silk button-down.
- 11 of 15PHOTO: Stockholm Street Style
Horizontal Stripes Add 10 Pounds
Lies! If you feel unsure, keep the stripes on the skinny side and slip on a blazer, denim jacket or coat so that the striped expanse is limited.
- 12 of 15PHOTO: David M. Benett/Getty Images
Mixing Prints Looks Messy
Only if they are both competing for first place. Make sure one print is more sedate than the other, ideally by choosing a smaller pattern or a more muted color palette. Beginner tip: pick prints in the same color family.
- 13 of 15PHOTO: Man Repeller
Gold and Silver Jewelry Don't Go Together
The contrast looks fresh. Throw in a strand of pearls for even more interest.
- 14 of 15PHOTO: Collage Vintage
Your Belt And Shoes Must Match
Perhaps this rule was conceived when shoes were only made in black or brown? In today's world of printed and embellished accessories, it seems completely ridiculous. If this feels unnatural, start with different colors of the same fabrics—you wouldn't pair a grosgrain belt with patent pumps—and contrasts like tan and black or plum and navy.
- 15 of 15PHOTO: Larry Busacca/AMA2013/Getty Images for DCP
Always Remove One Accessory Before Leaving The House
Sometimes more is more, particularly if you are receiving an award. A covered-up cold weather outfit provides a perfect chance to pile on the dazzlers, just abide by one overarching aesthetic.

Comments about Black Diamond Hoodwire Quickpack:
I like the hoodwire carabiners because they are a reasonably light, yet durable carabiner that can be used for sport clipups as well as trad routes. Basically, they arent too heavy to rack up gear with, yet they wont wear out in one season. The hood feature is a clever solution to the wiregate.
Comments about Black Diamond Hoodwire Quickpack:
I bought all my equipment in 03/2014 and receive products with 2013 date. This is pretty sad.

Comments about Black Diamond Hoodwire Quickpack:
I find these draws to be great for me when sport climbing. They are very light, with smooth and consistent gate action, and they can not get hung up on bolts or rope when sending a route or cleaning a climb. The Hood Wire does its job very well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these quick draws.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Becoming Maine's First Lego League Champion is more than fun and games.
It's a test of skill, concentration, and knowledge in math, science and technolgoy, as 600 Maine students are learning at the Lego League Championships in Augusta this weekend.
For the 13th year, the Maine Robotics organization has put on what is the largest science and engineering event in the state.
Maine Robotics Executive Director Tom Bickford says the Lego League is a unique way to introduce kids to engineering concepts, while helping them have fun.
"[The kids] find science and technology interesting, but we don't present it in a manner that they want to hear," said Bickford. "That's what this is all about."
Schools have teams of students assemble a lego robot, and program the robot to complete selected missions in the competition.
Each completed mission earns the team points. Teams are also evaluated on teamwork, presentation, research, and other areas.
"We get to build and learn engineering and stuff, it's awesome," said Jasmine Liberty, a fifth grade student from Albert S. Hall Elementary School in Waterville.
The winning teams from Maine advance to compete in Lego Land parks in California and Florida.
66 teams from 42 towns competed in the all day event and was the culmination of the fall season. A total of 540 children competed and an additional 1200 spectators, volunteers and coaches were in attendance.
Champions, 1st place: (overall winners for the whole tournament)

Question: what do Kate Moss, Rihanna, Diane Kruger, and every amazing European magazine editor have in common? A seriously deep-seated love for the latest Balmain looks. These women have backed the famous French fashion house for many seasons, wearing everything from last fall's fringe booties to spring's acid-washed skinnies to this fall's strong-shoulder pieces with a devotion that borders on the fanatical. But one look at the current collection and we understand why these directional dressers adore anything Christophe Decarnin designs: his clothes offer a greatly appealing mix of gritty attitude and unapologetically sexy glamour.
Even if you're not a front-row regular or a paparazzi target, there are still ways to incorporate the high-impact Balmain look into your everyday wardrobe. Let's begin with the collection's color palette, shall we? With the exception of an occasional pop of bright cobalt blue, the entire line was cut in a few stark shades, specifically black, white, and gray. Of course, though colors were limited, we noticed that dramatic touches were in full force-specifically sequins! Body-conscious frocks were given the sparkle treatment; just take a look at the Paillette Mini Dress ($13,395) for reference! But for every hiked-up hemline, Decarnin supplied a tough, toned-down alternative, via pieces like Buckle-Embellished Boots ($1605) and Biker Jeans ($1940). Even accessories got the industrial treatment (albeit in a luxe way), as Decarnin supplemented many looks with high-end biker accents like the Double Chain Belt ($1150) and Triple Chain Belt ($950). Basically the collection has a fabulous eighties-supermodel-meets-motorcycle-gang vibe, which is remarkably easy to achieve at home-with a little help from us, of course! If you're ready to play dress-up, just read on for a few of our favorite Inspired By pieces!
1. French Connection Lust Dress ($288)
The long-sleeve mini dress is a fall fashion must-buy, so why not go for it with gusto? If you're ready to brave the Balmain look, don't miss this amazing marine blue sequin dress from French Connection. It's the perfect piece to wear to all of your upcoming holiday parties or it could be the saucy centerpiece for a girls'-night-out ensemble. To ensure you don't look like an eighties lounge singer, we suggest pairing the glizy frock with some slightly punk footwear, like buckle-embellished boots or studded pumps.
2. Bakers Buckley Boots ($170)
Whether they're in leather or suede, Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain's Buckle Boots ($1605) are strikingly cool. They're also an extravagant splurge, so when creating this Inspired By story, we knew it was imperative to find a suitable substitute. Enter Bakers' Buckley Boots: a super-affordable style with all the attitude of the runway version! They'll look amazing with a bandage skirt and tucked-in tee or simply worn with your favorite pair of skinny jeans.
3. H&M Shirt ($25)
One of the most intriguing looks from Balmain's recent show involved a pair of split leg harem pants and a black t-shirt with silver sequins. While you might be a touch wary of wearing the head-to-toe look, it's easy to incorporate the interesting tee into many different outfits. H&M happened to create a stylishly similar shirt for fall, which we would wear under a boyfriend blazer or paired with some slouchy trousers (sans slits, of course).
4. Current/Elliott Moto Skinny Jeans ($235)
Decarnin always creates the most amazing denim pieces and definitely knows how to start a jean craze (such as the bleached-out and thrashed trend). So when he sent out a slew of motorcycle jeans at Balmain's F/W 09 show, we couldn't help but notice. While tastemakers like Vanessa Traina adore the originals, personally, we will invest in a pair of Current/Elliott's Moto Skinny Jeans instead. Like everything else from Current/Elliott, these jeans are beyond darling, fit like a dream, and are totally on-trend.
5. HTC Electric Multi-Chain Belt ($240)
As we mentioned earlier, one of the must-buy accessories for the Balmain look is a chain belt. While the uber-expensive designer options are certainly desirable, we like this heavy-metal style from HTC. It has multiple chains mixed with sturdy leather, a very appropriate combo for today's topic! Throw it on with an elegant pair of pants or just add it to your casual jeans, either way, it's an awesome item to have on hand!
6. Zara Black Studded Pumps ($80)
Though Balmain's killer buckle boots are hogging the majority of the footwear press, we must point out that they're not the only shoe-style worth noting. The house also created Diamante Studded Pumps ($775) that are obviously more interesting than your average pair of heels! While they're cool, we actually heart a studded style we found at Zara just as much. They'll perfectly punctuate your outfits all autumn long and we have a feeling you'll appreciate their very affordable price...
7. Dannijo Sparo Cuff ($538)
While Decarnin didn't use much jewelry in his fall runway presentation, we couldn't resist including this beautiful cuff in our roundup. It's a got a hint o' vintage thanks to the rhinestone pattern, but the silver-chain element gives it some necessary edge, which means it fits in with the rest of our Inspired By story fantastically.
8. Topshop Embellished Biker Jacket ($310)
The sculpted shoulders of a Balmain jacket are eye-catching and highly desirable, but not everyone wants to wear such an identifiable piece. To achieve a subtler silhouette while still executing the collection's spirit, we suggest picking up Topshop's Embellished Biker Jacket. The shoulders are strong, but less exaggerated than the runway style, so we think it's much more wearable.
9. Club Monaco Jen Beaded Clutch ($80)
Last, but certainly not least, we have a beautifully beaded bag from Club Monaco. Though it's patently different from the Crystal Leopard Suede Shoulder Bag ($3590) that was carried on the runway, we think its pewter-gray color, slight shimmer, and squared-off lines would totally fit in with the collection. It's a great antidote to the typical basic black bag; we'd wear it with a tuxedo jacket, a slim pair of cigarette pants, and dance off into the night!

Reporter: Claire Doan
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) – Five days since the disappearance of Isabel Celis, and those who know the 6-year-old say it has been five days of uncertainty, anguish and unanswered questions.
For the first time, Isabel's parents made a public statement Wednesday afternoon in front of a throng of reporters, pleading for their daughter's safe return.
"Please, please to the person or persons who have Isabel – tell us what you want, we will do anything," said Sergio Celis, Isabel's father, after noting that they have fully cooperated with police. In a news conference Wednesday night, Chief Robert Villaseñor said there has not been a demand for ransom.
Rebecca Celis, Isabel's mother, thanked police, the community, her Little League Team and people around the world for helping in her search.
"We do not want the focus to be taken off Isabel by us being in front of the cameras or by the media. We are here today to plea for the safe return of our baby Isabel," she said.
Isa played for the Diamondbacks on the Little League team, and friends say she was always happy.
"She's very sweet and friend. She's really fun to play with," said Moe Vogt.
"She was the cutest little girl. It was hard to resist talking to her," said Marielle Trujillo.
Volunteers said the Celis family is why they've been working so hard to get the word out, setting up donating boxes and handing out fliers.
"They are wonderful loving parents. Isa – we want her home. She's a wonderful little girl. We cannot wait to celebrate her homecoming," said family friend and volunteer Valerie Ballesceros.
And Isabel's parents vow that until that safe homecoming, they will never relent.
"We are looking for you Isa. We love you and we miss you much. We will never give up looking for you," her father said.
Police have let the family back into the home, but they said Isabel's parents have chosen not to come back for personal reasons. The parents have not been ruled out as suspects; police have said the family has fully cooperated with the investigation.

ATTICA, NY - There are new concerns about a possible chemical cover-up in Attica, regarding Hillcrest Industries and the terrible smell issue the village suffered through last year.
2 On Your Side has obtained new documents that show some critical details weren't released to public, while the EPA tried to extinguish a burning pile of garbage in September and October.
2 On Your Side's Jeff Preval heard from two Attica officials Thursday, who claim that the EPA withheld information.
"Somebody screwed up somewhere, didn't do the job that was supposed to be done and rather than name names, they just held some information back," said John Perry, an Attica Village trustee.
What's got Attica leaders so enraged about the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, has to do with federal documents that weren't released to the public. They include a redacted press release from late Sept. 2012, when the EPA first released data of what chemicals were coming from the Hillcrest site, located at 40 Favor Street in Attica. The documents also include a review from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, or ATSDR, which partnered with the EPA to do air testing.
The information at issue involves a powerful chemical called benzene. According to the American Cancer Society, the chemical is a colorless, flammable liquid that can cause cancer. Benzene, along with other pollutants had been burning at Hillcrest last spring and summer. On Sept. 24, the ATSDR reported that benzene was found at Hillcrest's property line and, "weeks to years of exposure to the concentration reported may pose a public health concern."
Homes and a church are just feet from this location.
However, a couple days later, the EPA told the public that there was only a chance benzene was coming from the site. The agency wouldn't declare any health concern.
"I think there's a few reasons that happened, one being they didn't want to start any type of panic, over whether they thought people were going to get cancer right away," said Perry.
Chris Van Son, another Attica trustee, who is running for mayor of the village said that the new information, "frustrates me, I think it happens a lot and if there is stuff being withheld, I would like to see it brought out, so people really truly are aware of what potential problems there are brought out."
And finally, according to the non-edited version of the same press release, the EPA chose not to say that there were any short term affects from benzene. The agency went so far as to delete that benzene is known to cause cancer.
EPA press officer Elias Rodriguez tells us in a statement that the agency, "was transparent," and that it, "shared all of its scientific information with the public throughout its response to the Hillcrest fire." And that changes to the press release were made to make it more "accurate."
"I think that a lot of things were held back for one reason or another," said Perry.
Sen. Patrick Gallivan, who represents Attica told Two On Your Side in a statement, "If EPA, or any regulatory entity, withheld pertinent health and safety information from the residents of Attica regarding the Hillcrest site, I will work with local, state and federal partners to ensure that withheld information is made available, appropriate action is taken and responsible parties are held accountable to the people they serve."
According to Attica officials, only glass is behind Hillcrest.
Meantime, the DEC still is monitoring the company and is doing air tests. In the past, the DEC has said there were health concerns in Attica.
Meantime, many residents and leaders in Attica are still waiting for the state to come to a settlement with Hillcrest to resolve all the fines against the company for causing the foul odor.
Also, many Attica residents still want a follow up meeting with the DEC and respective agencies handling the Hillcrest smell issue. A meeting was held late last year, however, there were many unresolved issues and questions for residents. Many residents still are demanding a second meeting to get their questions answered.

Sporting Kansas City
After a morale sapping 2-0 loss in New England last week, the Fire need to pick themselves up for the visit of Eastern Conference table toppers Sporting KC Friday night. There has been no love lost between the sides over the past few seasons and this one promises to be no different. Here are few things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Changes to the Fire defense – who will replace Bakary Soumare
Since the return of Bakary Soumare, the Fire's starting back four has remained virtually unchanged despite some less than stellar performances. Soumare's suspension forces Frank Klopas into making a tough decision.
The two most likely options are moving Jalil Anibaba into the middle and replacing him with Logan Pause/Wells Thompson/Mike Videra or keeping Jalil at right back and drafting Hunter Jumper into the middle.
The latter seems the more likely choice, especially considering Jumper's height and the coaching staff's desire to play big men against Sporting KC in the past. Jumper has had limited playing time this season (just one appearance so far) and will need to adjust to a SKC team who started off so well at Toyota Park last time out.
A strong start and scoring first will be a huge boost to the Fire psychologically.
How to break SKC down – target the outside defenders
Kansas City have the second best defensive record in the East thanks in part to a brilliant goalkeeper and rock solid central defense pairing but it's on the outside of the defensive four that some cracks appear.
In SKC's recent loss against New York, more than one of the goals scored by the Red Bulls came from getting in behind the defense. With players like Mike Magee, who is so good at making runs, the Fire need to be trying to play through balls as much as possible Friday night.
Getting into 1v1 situations with the SKC outside backs is another good tactic. Joel Lindpere has made no secret of his desire to play in the middle and not on the wing, where he feels that his lack of place and ability to take a man on are on show.
With that in mind, switching Alex to the wing is a good option. With Alex and Dilly Duka on the wings, the SKC outside defenders would certainly be on the back foot for most of the night.
SKC wing play – don't allow easy crosses
Just as the Fire should be looking to attack down the wings, the Men in Red must also be wary of SKC's wide play. Normally, SKC rely on U.S. international Graham Zusi to create from midfield but in his absence, more emphasis has been put on getting the ball wide and putting crosses into the box for Bieler, Kamara and Saad.
In Sporting's last match against New England, this tactic worked to perfection, with the first two goals of the night coming from crosses. New England allowed the SKC players far too much room to pick people out with crosses.
The Fire must be quicker to close Kansas City down, especially when they get the ball into the wide areas. It is expected that Zusi will be back in the starting lineup tonight but his presence should not distract the Fire from concentrating, not allowing Sporting players time on the ball.
Prediction: It's a must win for the Fire and I expect them to come out on top: 1-0 Fire with a goal from Mike Magee.

The Fire will host Sporting KC on Sunday afternoon at Toyota Park attempting to extend their unbeaten run to double digits after a dramatic five-goal thriller against San Jose midweek while KC comes to Chicago after a disappointing home draw against Vancouver.
Both teams are not on friendly terms and this looks set to be a thriller. Here are some tactical things to look out for.
Limiting the set pieces – Don't allow Zusi to work his magic
Sporting KC have a double threat on set pieces with a number of players who are very good in the air and they have Graham Zusi, one of the best strikers of a dead ball in MLS.
At the back, Frenchman Aurelien Collin is not only strong but always makes a nuisance of himself in the box. Up front, they've benefited from the return of striker Kei Kamara who spent some time with Norwich in the Premier League.
Dan and Kevin talk Sporting KC
In KC's last match against Vancouver, Kamara came very close to scoring from headers on multiple occasions not by outmuscling his opponent like Collin does but simply by out jumping them.
Like quite a few teams in MLS, Kansas City also possesses a modified set play – the long throw. Just as Jalil Anibaba deploys the it almost whenever possible for the Fire, SKC center back Matt Besler does the same.
The Fire gave away a silly goal from a set piece last week and better defending will be needed against a team that is well known for their set piece prowess.
Keeping SKC's attacking wide players at bay – neutralizing Saad and Kamara
Kansas City starts in a 4-3-3 formation with striker Claudio Bieler in the middle with Kei Kamara and Soony Saad supporting him wide. Many teams are so focused (and I don't blame them) on Bieler and attacking mid Graham Zusi that sometimes Saad and Kamara are overlooked and both players are good at finding space.
Coach Peter Vermes constantly orders the players to switch sides during play which makes picking them up even harder. In Kansas City's last win against Columbus, Kamara chipped in with two goals, the first coming from a fantastic switch of the field which found Kamara in space that he was able to control and finish.
The attacking nature of Sporting's outside defenders also gives Kamara and Saad an excuse to get into the middle and support Bieler. There will be some 1v1 battles between Saad and the Fire outside defenders but it will certainly take a team effort to keep the wide men at bay on Sunday afternoon.
Letting the Fire wingers create – creating room for Nyarko and Duka change the game
Anyone who has watched the Fire closely this season will tell you that winger Patrick Nyarko is playing the best the best soccer of his career and if he can overcome the tight hamstring that brought him out early against San Jose and start against KC the Fire have a great chance of winning.
Athletico Coaching Corner with Mike Matkovich
Nyarko has done it all for the team this year, be it tracking back to win the ball from his opponent, beating a man in a 1v1 situation or combining well with his teammates.
In the midweek win against San Jose, Nyarko did something many critics of the Fire often call out for more of, getting into the box to support the strikers. Nyarko not only got in but made a great near post run and finished superbly.
The cross provided for the Nyarko goal came from Dilly Duka who is starting to show his true potential. Duka had a goal and an assist in the win against San Jose and could've had a few more if not for narrowly missing a few rockets from outside the box.
READ: Will Nyarko be good to go Sunday?
In the past few weeks, Dilly has been a major threat from the wide positions, beating players at will and putting in numerous dangerous crosses. Duka has also got into the box to great effect, scoring two goals in as many matches.
The dual threat of attacking from wide areas as well as providing support in the box should cause the SKC back line some major issues on Sunday afternoon.
Prediction: Fire critics have claimed the club has yet to beat an elite team during the side's nine-game unbeaten streak but I think those critics will be silenced on Sunday afternoon. 2-1 Fire with goals from Magee and Alex.

Today we look back on one of the most impressive come back wins in club history which came almost 10 years ago when the Fire visited the Kansas City Wizards at Arrowhead Stadium on April 26, 2003.
While the team was destined for their first and still only MLS Supporter's Shield that season, they hit early bumps in the road under new head coach Dave Sarachan (photo right), drawing their first two matches of the season (1-1 vs. New England and 0-0 at D.C. United).
PERUSE: TrueCar Player Registry
Early in this one, things didn't seem to get any better as Preki's free kick found Igor Simutenkov in the 25th minute before the naturalized U.S. international's corner was headed home at the back post by Jimmy Conrad in the 38th to give KC a 2-0 halftime lead.
"The only [halftime] adjustment we made was to challenge them," Sarachan told the Chicago Tribune. "We asked them if they were going to hang their heads or do something about it."
The challenge was met just after halftime when Orlando Perez sent a blistering left-footed effort from just inside 30 yards out past Tony Meola in the 53rd minute.
Twelve minutes later Andy Williams would bring things level, receiving a pass from Perez on the left before right-footing his effort past Meola from just outside the box.
* Ralph's match-winner was the first of his Fire career and one of 11 he would go on to score in his MLS Rookie of the Year campaign.
"I'm glad I gave the team the lift it needed and it gave me the confidence I needed too," he said post-game.
* The win was also the first of Dave Sarachan's tenure as head coach and pushed the side on to that year's Supporters Shield, still the only time the club has taken the honor.
* This marked just the second time in club history the Fire came back from a two-goal deficit to win in regulation. The club has achieved that feat just three times in a total of 470 regular season matches.
The Others: Chicago Fire 4, Dallas Burn 3 (May 24, 2000), Chicago Fire 3, Colorado Rapids 2 (August 23, 2009)
* The game was just the second of current Fire captain Logan Pause's career. Pause, DaMarcus Beasley and Carlos Bocanegra are the only three active players left out of the 23 that played on the day...
CHI – Zach Thornton; C.J. Brown, Jim Curtin, Carlos Bocanegra, Orlando Perez; Evan Whitfield, Logan Pause, Chris Armas ©, DaMarcus Beasley; Andy Williams (Kelly Gray 87'), Rodrigo Faria (Damani Ralph 65')

Maicon Santos' two-goal substitute performance had me thinking this week, how often have Fire players come off the bench to tally a brace?
The Answer: It's a very rare thing… Santos' effort on Sunday was just the fifth time (or .008%) in the club's 573 all-time competitive matches that a player has scored two goals off the bench. It was just the third time in MLS league play and first since 2006.
The others...
Orr Barouch - Chicago Fire 4, New York Red Bulls 0 - U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal (7/12/2011)
In a memorable match that was moved up to 5pm because of a massive power outage at Toyota Park, Barouch came on at halftime for Cristian Nazarit with the Fire already leading 2-0. It took the Israeli youth international just five minutes to make it 3-0 before closing the scoring off a feed from Diego Chaves in the 69th minute (WATCH).
PERUSE: TrueCar Player Registry
Barouch led the side with three goals in Open Cup play on the way to the tournament final that year.
Chad Barrett – Chicago Fire 2, Real Salt Lake 1 – MLS Regular Season (6/28/2006)
Throughout much of his first two seasons with the Men in Red, Chad Barrett was an oft-used second half attacking sub. In this match, he repaid Dave Sarachan's faith in him, entering for captain Chris Armas in the 68th minute before heading home the equalizer off a cross from Justin Mapp in the 80th minute (WATCH).
Five minutes later, Mapp would slot Barrett through the RSL backline before the second-year striker put slid his effort past Scott Garlick and in off the post for the winner (WATCH).
The effort was the first of two braces for Barrett during his time with the Men in Red, the other coming in a 5-1 victory at Red Bull on May 25, 2008.
Dipsy Selolwane – Chicago Fire 4, San Juan Jabloteh 0 – CONCACAF Champions Cup (3/17/2004)
With the team coming off a somewhat shocking 5-2 first leg defeat away to the Trinidadian side, the Men in Red returned to Soldier Field needing four goals in the second leg in order to advance.
Though Damani Ralph took the aggregate score to 5-3 just before halftime, Selolwane entered for current Fire captain Logan Pause to provide more offense after the break. The Botswanan international's long-range effort in the 51st minute brought the Fire to within a goal before his empty net finish 11 minutes later brought the score level.
Selolwane proved to be Man of the Match when he set up Chris Armas' 90th minute series winner to push the Fire past Jabloteh 6-5 on aggregate and into the Champions Cup semifinals.
Interestingly, that performance was the only brace of Selolwane's Fire career, though he did come up with back-to-back game-winners in the team's run to the U.S. Open Cup final that season.
Hristo Stoitchkov – Chicago Fire 7, Kansas City Wizards 0 – MLS Regular Season (7/4/2001)
Of course the Mad Bulgarian was the first to do this with the Fire and of course it came in the Fourth of July Massacre.
With the team already leading 4-0, there was little need for Stoitchkov to come on in the 78th. One minute after entering the match, Piotr Nowak scored his second to take the game to 5-0 and then Stoitchkov proceeded to drive the dagger in tallying in the 83rd and 88th minutes to exact revenge for the Fire's MLS Cup loss to Kansas City the year before (WATCH).
Like Barrett, Stoitchkov tallied two braces while with the Men in Red. The first came in his debut appearance, a 4-2 Opening Day loss to the Dallas Burn on March 18, 2000.
Last month we asked you to help us pick who our Quaker Bobblehead giveaway should be for our July 7 game against Sporting KC.
After two weeks of voting, it was clear that one player campaigned much harder than the rest of his teammates for the right to be immortalized on a Quaker Bobblehead.
The first 5,000 supporters into Toyota Park that day will receive one. Get your tickets here!

Bag of Bonesby Stephen King
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Stephen King's most gripping and unforgettable novel, Bag of Bones, is a story of grief and a lost love's enduring bonds, of a new love haunted by the secrets of the past, of an innocent child caught in a terrible crossfire.
Set in the Maine territory King has made mythic, Bag of Bones recounts the plight of forty-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan, who is unable to stop grieving even four years after the sudden death of his wife, Jo, and who can no longer bear to face the blank screen of his word processor.
Now his nights are plagued by vivid nightmares of the house by the lake. Despite these dreams, or perhaps because of them, Mike finally returns to Sara Laughs, the Noonans' isolated summer home.
He finds his beloved Yankee town familiar on its surface, but much changed underneath — held in the grip of a powerful millionaire, Max Devore, who twists the very fabric of the community to his purpose: to take his three-year-old granddaughter away from her widowed young mother. As Mike is drawn into their struggle, as he falls in love with both of them, he is also drawn into the mystery of Sara Laughs, now the site of ghostly visitations, ever-escalating nightmares, and the sudden recovery of his writing ability. What are the forces that have been unleashed here — and what do they want of Mike Noonan?
As vivid and enthralling as King's most enduring works, Bag of Bones resonates with what Amy Tan calls "the witty and obsessive voice of King's powerful imagination." It's no secret that King is our most mesmerizing storyteller. In Bag of Bones — described by Gloria Naylor as "a love story about the dark places within us all" — he proves to be one of our most moving.
"Carrying galley copy that avoids the h(orror) word while touting its 'O. Henry Award-winning author,' King's latest novel features a marketing campaign in accord with the distinguished pedigree of his new publisher. But has King written a book that ranks him as a literary heavyweight? Indeed he has, though not by forsaking his roots: the novel is a classic ghost story....From his mint-fresh etching of spooky rural Maine to his masterful pacing and deft handling of numerous themes...this is one of King's most accomplished novels. It is his most personal as well, revealing through Mike's broodings the intimacies of the creative writing process: a passionate gift from a veteran author to all who care about the art and craft of storytelling." Publishers Weekly
"...King's most narratively subversive fiction.... Popular fiction just doesn't get any weirder than this." Tom De Haven, Entertainment Weekly

Dean has been diagnosed with magalencephalic leukodystrophy which is a rare disease. In fact, only six cases have been confirmed in the U.S., including Dean. The disease affects the brain, spine and peripheral nerves and requires constant medical attention. In order to assist with medical bills, the proceeds which the raffle raised will be donated to the Dean family.
