Ex-boyfriend: McCready left rehab too soon

HEBER SPRINGS, Ark. (AP) — Mindy McCready threatened suicide after losing custody of her sons earlier this month, yet she was allowed to leave a court-ordered drug rehabilitation program just days before she apparently killed herself at her Arkansas home, her ex-boyfriend said Monday.
Billy McKnight, who was in a long, stormy relationship with McCready and is the father of her oldest child, Zander, said the 37-year-old mother of two stayed in the substance abuse treatment center for about 18 hours before she was allowed to walk free.
McCready died Sunday at her home in Heber Springs, a vacation community about 65 miles north of Little Rock. She was found dead on the front porch, where her longtime boyfriend, musician David Wilson, died last month of a gunshot wound to the head. Authorities are investigating both deaths as suicides but haven't determined an official cause of death.

McKnight told The Associated Press during a phone interview from Tampa, Fla., that McCready and Wilson, the father of her youngest son, were recently engaged. He wondered how she was allowed to go free, given all the turmoil in her life.
"That was a big mistake on the part of whoever released her," McKnight said. "She was in a terrible state of mind. She doesn't perform any more. She wasn't working. She has two kids and her fiance was just killed. There's no way she should be out by herself in a lonely house with nothing but booze and pills. That was a really, really bad mistake, and the end result is tragic."
Arkansas courts were closed for the holiday Monday, so local case documents weren't immediately available.
Neighbors reported hearing two shots Sunday afternoon when they called the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office. Authorities found Wilson's dog dead next to McCready's body at the home, where yellow crime-scene tape looped through a grove of pine trees and around the one-story brick house Monday afternoon.

Governor Robert Bentley talks with the Montgomery Advertiser at his office in the state capitol building in Montgomery, Ala. on Thursday February 21, 2013. (Montgomery Advertiser, Mickey Welsh)
Gov. Robert Bentley demanded that his cabinet members and the state employees who work for them not discuss with state legislators any concerns they might have with a proposed overhaul to state law enforcement agencies.
"I do not want any cabinet head or any member of their department to lobby against this. Tell your employees to contact ONLY Blaine Galliher if they have any questions or concerns. NO ONE is to talk to members of the House or Senate in opposition to this legislation," Bentley wrote in an email sent to cabinet members by his executive assistant on Feb. 12.

And best news of all, sales of ensuites and cloakrooms are only likely to grow, as the house build market slowly returns to form. All new homes, by law, must have a downstairs sanitaryware facility and they often feature an ensuite, as standard, too. Tim Wood of Mereway Bathrooms comments: "The current trend among house builders is to offer atleast one bedroom with an ensuite fitted as standard. The rule of thumb tends to be a four bedroom property should have one bathroom with one ensuite, a five or six bedroom property should have one main bathroom and include two ensuites."
He adds: "It's also not unusual for executive new build homes to have nearly as many bathrooms as bedrooms. And, with 80,000 new homes projected for build in 2010, it demonstrates a huge potential for the ensuite market." New build homes also boost the opportunity for short and longer-term refurbishment opportunities. As Helen Clark says: "All new dwellings built after 1999 must have sanitaryware facilities on the ground floor We can therefore look forward to home owners shortly updating these rooms 10 years on." And Kevin Oakes, sales and marketing director at Jax Bathrooms, agrees that the new build market will be key for continued sales: "The new build sector is likely to have a major and positive impact upon this market. Couple this with the home improvement market and the next few years should be a very promising period."

ROCKFORD — Rock Valley College officials are working to revamp dual-credit "career college" offerings to local high school students.
ROCKFORD — Rock Valley College officials are working to revamp dual-credit "career college" offerings to local high school students.
More than 100 high schoolers already participate in such courses in automotive technology, manufacturing engineering technology, nurses aide or welding at RVC. But the college has more than a dozen high schools in its district, and officials hope by rebranding the program and offering more training programs — like aviation, accounting, fire science and emergency medical technician — they can attract more students and help high schools graduate those who have also earned job training or certification.
"It's taking this career-technical model and kicking it up a notch," said Susan Busenbark, dean of academic development and instructional support at Rock Valley.
Details are still in the works, but ideally, high school juniors and seniors would attend RVC in the afternoons and earn credits toward a certificate or post-high-school job training.
The program is akin to Running Start, the accelerated learning program for high school juniors who simultaneously earn their high school diploma and associate degree through Rock Valley, then transfer to a four-year college.
Upon completion, career college students could continue training at Rock Valley or in another postsecondary program, or enter the workforce.
The goal: give students the chance for additional certification or job prep so they're ready to work when they graduate from high school.
"There's just not going to be a lot of jobs for an individual with a high school diploma in the coming ages," Busenbark said.
Rock Valley has offered a career college-type program for years with area high schools through CEANCI, Career Education Associates of North Central Illinois, to pool resources and offer career and technical education programs. Instead of each high school offering its own limited technical education, Rock Valley has offered career-focused courses for high school students.
"This is really Running Start on the tech-prep end," said Winnebago Superintendent Dennis Harezlak, who serves as the CEANCI board president.
The program wouldn't compete with Rockford Career College, because that institution doesn't offer dual credit for high school students. That program targets nontraditional students, said Amy Semenchuk, dean of academics at Rockford Career College, although some students do enroll right after high school graduation.
Nearly 700 students are enrolled at the career college, which offers programs that lead to two-year associate of applied science degrees, one-year diplomas and short-term certificates. The programs are in business/accounting, information technology, paralegal and health occupations.
The mission, however, is the same: provide students jobs skills necessary to work locally.
"We try to stay on top of what the skill set is of what is required by the employers," Semenchuk said.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ A party is planned to wish a cabin a happy 140th birthday.
The cabin on Beaver Creek in Smith County is where Brewster Higley wrote a poem in 1873 that became the words to ``Home on the Range.''
The July Fourth party will include music, food and plenty of gratitude to Kansans who have helped save the cabin.
The event will give Kansans a chance to see the cabin before a major restoration project starts. Contract bids for the project will be let this summer.
The cabin is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. An estimated $80,000 to $100,000 is needed to restore it.
The Wichita Eagle reports that $60,000 has been raised, including $2,000 from Kansas schoolchildren in a ``Coins for the Cabin'' fundraiser.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Oh what a difference two months can make.
In early January, the city of St. Paul and, especially, businesses that stand in the shadow of the Xcel Energy Center were languishing under the lasting effects of the NHL lockout.
On Saturday, the 'hockey city' streets couldn't have been busier with an estimated 40,000 people attending the boys' high school hockey tournament and the Let's Play Hockey Expo.
"It's been spectacular. It's been one of the biggest tournaments we've had in the 10 years we've been open," said Kevin Geisen, co-owner of Eagle Street Grille.
Geisen estimates his restaurant -- which sits directly across from the Minnesota Wild's hockey home -- lost about 25 percent of its annual revenue due to the lockout.
"It just changes everything. It's a 180 degree difference," he said.
At one point, the restaurant was forced to lay off three-quarters of its staff to offset the lack of customers. But the month of March is bringing new hope: in the form of lots of hockey games, big-name concerts and a pretty popular St. Paul holiday: St. Patrick's Day.
"They call it 'March Madness' for a reason," Geisen said.
Sam Bergstrom with Tom Reid's Hockey City Pub couldn't agree more.
"Thankfully the revenue that the tournaments bring in during the month of March -- everything that goes on in the Xcel Center, when they pack it full of concerts and games -- is really helping to make up for what we lost," Bergstrom said.
In addition to the boys' high school hockey tournament, the city is hosting the Red Baron WCHA Final Five Hockey Tournament, seven Minnesota Wild hockey games, and concerts with Maroon 5, Bob Seger and Kid Rock, Pink and Rihanna. The city is also planning on a St. Patrick's Day Block Party on Saturday, March 16.

Market Value Of ICN Pondered As State Looks For Savings
Posted By News On March 25, 2011 @ 6:27 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
As the state continues to search for new sources of revenue, some leaders are wondering about the value of the Iowa Communications Network, or ICN. The ICN was established in 1989 as a way to bridge the distance between rural and urban areas, and better facilitate communication for schools, hospitals, colleges and the National Guard. Pella Schools Superintendent Mark Wittmer tells KNIA/KRLS News that while Pella doesn't often use the network, it does still have value for smaller, more rural districts. Knoxville Superintendent Dr. Randy Flack says they don't use the ICN for instruction, but do take advantage of it for meetings with the Area Education Agency, one of its intended functions.

|Successful pregnancy and normal delivery after whole craniospinal irradiation in two patients.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16101166 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Two cases of normal pregnancies and deliveries after whole craniospinal irradiation (WCSI) are described, and whether the ovaries can be left out of the WCSI field by identifying ovarian position using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is determined. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The distance between the upper edge of the pubic symphysis and the central part of the ovary was measured on MRI in 17 women. RESULTS: The right ovary was located 20.3-68.4 mm to the right of and 33.7-113.5 mm above the upper edge of the pubic symphysis; the left ovary was located 26.2-72.5 mm to the left and 25.8-106.6 mm above this edge. The lower border of the spinal field in WCSI should be the caudal border of the thecal sac, i.e., S2-S4. The line of this location, which nearly approximates normal ovarian position, should be employed in radiotherapy planning to avoid irradiating at least one ovary with its thecal sac. Omitting this area from the WCSI field in women of childbearing age with a good long-term prognosis, preserves potential fertility. CONCLUSION: It appears that the ovaries might be excluded from the WCSI field, using appropriate techniques, so as to preserve female fertility.

|Analyses of simulations of three-dimensional lattice proteins in comparison with a simplified statistical mechanical model of protein folding.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16907133 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Folding and unfolding simulations of three-dimensional lattice proteins were analyzed using a simplified statistical mechanical model in which their amino acid sequences and native conformations were incorporated explicitly. Using this statistical mechanical model, under the assumption that only interactions between amino acid residues within a local structure in a native state are considered, the partition function of the system can be calculated for a given native conformation without any adjustable parameter. The simulations were carried out for two different native conformations, for each of which two foldable amino acid sequences were considered. The native and non-native contacts between amino acid residues occurring in the simulations were examined in detail and compared with the results derived from the theoretical model. The equilibrium thermodynamic quantities (free energy, enthalpy, entropy, and the probability of each amino acid residue being in the native state) at various temperatures obtained from the simulations and the theoretical model were also examined in order to characterize the folding processes that depend on the native conformations and the amino acid sequences. Finally, the free energy landscapes were discussed based on these analyses.

The Legal Arizona Workers Act, sometimes called the "Employer Sanctions Law," went into effect on January 1, 2008. That law was amended in several respects by the Arizona Legislature, effective May 1, 2008.
The Legal Arizona Workers Act, as amended, prohibits businesses from knowingly or intentionally hiring an "unauthorized alien" after December 31, 2007. Under the statute, an "unauthorized alien" is defined as "an alien who does not have the legal right or authorization under federal law to work in the United States." The law also requires employers in Arizona to use the "E-Verify" system (a free Web-based service offered by the federal Department of Homeland Security) to verify the employment authorization of all new employees hired after December 31, 2007.
The United States Department of Homeland Security provides a searchable database of employers that have enrolled in the E-Verify program using an Arizona address. Click here to view the most recent list.

An unexpected discovery has led scientists to open an intriguing new window into the human brain, via the visual system. Their finding may have implications for better understanding of states such as sleep, epilepsy and anaesthesia say the research team leaders Dr Sam Solomon and Professor Paul Martin of The Vision Centre and The University of Sydney. Potentially it could open up a new pathway for manipulating brain rhythms to manage disorders such as insomnia and epilepsy, the team speculate in an article published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA.
"It was purely a chance observation we made while we were activating the three cell layers of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), which is the part where the optic nerve actually connects to the brain," Prof. Martin recounts. Two of these layers are linked with our ability to perceive edges and movement, he explains. The third, koniocellular or 'K' layer, is much more primitive – part of our deep evolutionary ancestry – and its function is still mysterious. "When we stopped applying a stimulus, two of the three layers ceased to respond while the K layer continued to pulse, slowly and rhythmically – like a sleeping brain."
At the suggestion of a colleague, the research team then compared the signal from the K cells to an EEG readout from the brain itself: "To our surprise and delight we found the two were marching in time," Dr Solomon says. The observation has provided physical evidence to support a scientific theory that the more primitive parts of the brain serve as regulators for the more advanced parts, responsible for conscious thought and feelings. It could also lead to a deeper scientific understanding of the nature of sleep and unconsciousness.However an intriguing idea is that this pathway might also be used to influence the patterns of the brain itself, Prof. Martin adds.
"We know this K pathway is affected by blue light. This raises the tantalising possibility that by stimulating it with light of the right wavelength you could actually alter the rhythms of the brain." The slow theta rhythms of the brain, as seen on an EEG, are commonly associated with sleep, anaesthesia and epilepsy, he says. "Just possibly, the K cells might offer a way to use visual stimuli to alter brain rhythms – to modify sleep patterns, say, or to arrest or prevent an epileptic state. At this stage it is simply an idea flowing from our discovery – but it is well worth exploring further."

Pre-1993 books briefly mentioned:
All of the articles in this book originally appeared as articles and the closing essay in the September, 1993, issue of Scientific American. Since this journal is noted for its very readable articles for the student and layperson, this compilation of articles is an excellent resource. Only chapter six, "AIDS and the Immune System," pertains to AIDS. It explains in an excellent way how the virus replicates itself, the research that is being conducted, and what the future holds. The only drawback is that the illustrations are not as crisp and clear as they are in the journal article.
The other articles cover: "Life, Death and the Immune System," "How the Immune System Develops," "How the Immune System Recognizes Invaders," "How the Immune System Recognizes the Body," "Infectious Diseases and the Immune System," "Autoimmune Disease," "Allergy and the Immune System," "The Immune System as a Therapeutic Agent," and "Will We Survive?" There is also an epilogue--"Immunology and Reciprocity." This is an excellent book for all school, public, and academic libraries, even if the library subscribes to the journal.
259. Sexuality Across the Life Course, edited by Alice S. Rossi. 1994. University of Chicago Press, 5801 S. Ellis Ave., Chicago, IL 60637. 418p., bibliog., index. (Studies on Successful Midlife Development) ISBN 0-226-72833-1. $34.95. (Descriptors: Sex, Intimacy, Psychology of Intimacy) (18 contributors)
Although this book does not speak about AIDS, it does speak about everything that is associated with topics that are discussed when doing AIDS research. It is divided into 4 sections: "The Biopsychosocial Perspective," "Sexual Diversity: History, Culture, and Lifestyle," "Sexuality at Selected Phases of the Life Course," and "Selected Health Issues." Sections 2 and 3 have a wealth of information that would be of interest to any AIDS researcher. These include history of human sexuality, attitudes toward sexual permissiveness, sexuality among African-American women, African-American male sexuality through the early life course, homosexual lifestyles, sexual behavior, sex and romance, sexuality and marriage, and sex and sexuality in later life stages.
This is a book that needs to be on the bookshelf of any AIDS researcher, especially those who are studying sexual behavior. It provides a solid background of information and may prevent the researcher from redoing something that is already done. For the general reader it will help in the understanding of some aspects of sexuality that may be fuzzy. This is a highly recommended book for public, academic, and medical libraries, as well as the private libraries of researchers.
260. Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide, compiled by The Buton Goldberg Group. 1993. Future Medicine Publishing, Inc., 10124 18th St., Ct. E., Puyallup, WA 98371. 1,068p., illus., bibliog., index. ISBN 0-9636334-3-0. $59.95. (Descriptors: Alternative Medicine)
"This book is intended as an educational tool to acquaint the reader with alternative methods for the maintenance of good health and the treatment of illness." Since many of the alternative methods have not been researched and approved by government regulatory agencies, some states may have laws that prohibit their use. As a result, the methods that are described should supplement the advice from a physician or licensed health professional. This is a very impressive volume with nearly 400 contributors who bring together in one place information on diet, and nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, environmental medicine, chelation therapy, and the other disciplines of alternative medicine.
Part one is a small introduction that provides insight on the future of medicine as related to a new understanding of alternative medicine. Part two of over 400 pages describes 43 alternative therapies, including acupuncture, Ayurvedic medicine, colon therapy, enzyme therapy, herbal medicine, hypnotherapy, neural therapy, osteopathy, quigong, and yoga. Each therapy is fully discussed and includes information on where to find additional help through associations or readings. The third part is the largest section covering individual health conditions. Each condition is described in detail including symptoms and causes, followed with various treatments that include diet, nutritional supplements, herbal medicine, or other alternative treatments. The discussion ends with list of places to find additional help and some recommended books.
There are 16 pages devoted to AIDS. The discussion includes a definition of AIDS, the HIV debate, co-factors, immune system cells and AIDS, and AZT. This is followed with various alternative treatments for AIDS. Here, the alternative view "places the emphasis on restoring overall health by first eliminating the co-factors." "Some of the alternative methods being used today to improve the health and immune function of individuals with AIDS and HIV-infection include improved nutritional status, detoxification, mind/body medicine, stress reduction therapies, herbal medicine, homeopathy, and ozone and other oxygen-based treatments." Obviously, diet and nutrition are stressed as a way to combat the onset of AIDS from being HIV positive.
This is an excellent book. As mentioned before, it is not to take the place of the physician but is to serve as a supplement to sound medical advice. In all of the discussions of individual health conditions, diet and nutrition are always advised along with vitamins and herbs. No matter what your condition may be--allergies, cancer, AIDS, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, or vision disorders--it is mentioned in this encyclopedic work. For the price, this is recommended for public, academic, and medical libraries. Physicians, especially, should be aware of this book, because more and more individuals are turning towards some form of alternative treatment.
261. Alternative Medicine Digest: The Voice of Alternative Medicine. Future Medicine Publishing, Inc., PO Box 10663, Des Moines, IA 50381-0663. Issue 1- , 1994- monthly. $36.00. (Descriptors: Alternative Medicine)
This monthly publication is intended to raise public awareness of health options and encourage research in the area of alternative treatments. Issue one has a feature article on "Why isn't the FDA doing its job?" The rest of the issue has brief reviews of published articles from prominent journals that recognize that there is some truth in what alternative treatments can provide. This is a recommended journal for public and medical libraries.
262. Alternative Medicine Yellow Pages: The Comprehensive Guide to the New World of Health. 1994. Future Medicine Publishing, Inc., 98 Main St., Ste 209, Tiburon, CA 94920. unpaged. ISBN 0-9636334-2-2. $12.95. (Descriptors: Alternative Medicine)
This is a "resource tool for those interested in contacting alternative health care practitioners." It provides the names, addresses and phone numbers of alternative health care practitioners, primarily through professional organizations in each of the fields of practice. The first and largest part covers alternative therapies while the second part covers health conditions. Within each category it is alphabetical by state, then alphabetical by city within that state. A good reference book for public, academic, and medical libraries.
263. Anarchist AIDS Medical Formulary: A Guide to Guerrilla Immunology, selected essays by Charles R. Caulfield, Billi Goldberg. 1993. North Atlantic Books, PO Box 12327, Berkeley, CA 94701-9998. 155p., bibliog. ISBN 1-55643-175-9. $12.95. (Descriptors: Alternative Treatment)
This book is "sponsored by the Society for the Study of Native Arts and Sciences, a nonprofit educational corporation whose goals are to develop an educational and crosscultural perspective linking various scientific, social, and artistic fields; to nurture a holistic view of arts, sciences, humanities, and healing; and to publish and distribute literature on the relationship of mind, body, and nature." Needless to say, the scientific community does not, at times, think kindly of what societies such as this do and advocate because much of it is contrary to current scientific thinking. However, that community is beginning to look into the therapies that are now advocated by such groups.
The collection of essays are adapted from the San Francisco Sentinel where they appeared in the column, "HIV News." They are intended to give a new way of looking at AIDS for the survivor. "Using the tenets of current basic science, we have been able to develop a strategy for immune reconstitution for people with AIDS. Our therapeutic system is nontoxic, effective, affordable, and readily available to all who need it." The authors stress throughout the essays that "AIDS is survivable." The essays are presented in two parts: "The politics and realities of AIDS treatment research" and "Alternative AIDS treatments: theories, therapies, and resources."
There is much to be gained from this book but there can be false hopes. So many factors need to be figured into the total pictures. True, Caulfield was diagnosed with AIDS ten years ago and is now asymptomatic. This is a recommended book, but not to the extent that it totally replaces all care from a physician. There is much truth in the fact that the mind controls many of our ailments and if one can use his or her mind to control the spread of AIDS in their bodies, then they should do it. A recommended book for public, academic, and medical libraries.
264. We Are All Living with AIDS: How You Can Set Policies and Guidelines for the Workplace, by Earl C. Pike. 1993. Deaconess Press, 2450 Riverside Ave. South, Minneapolis, MN 55454. 396p., bibliog. ISBN 0-925190-68-3. $14.95. (Descriptors: Industrial Hygiene, Personnel Management)
AIDS in the workplace can be a complicated matter. In fact, some workplaces do not even recognize that there may be a problem before it is too late. On the other hand, others know that there is a potential problem but fail to do anything or do not know exactly how to go about doing it. This book "is designed to help individuals and workplaces get unstuck. It's geared toward workplaces of every variety, and can be employed by boards, managers, or line staff from those organizations." The book contains four sections. The first, "Policy Areas," "provides background information on eight different HIV/AIDS policy subtopics that the workplace will want to address in order to create a comprehensive HIV/AIDS policy." Topics covered include ethics, discrimination, infection control, confidentiality, and nurturing diversity.
The second section, "Policy from Beginning to End," outlines how a policy is developed. "It provides you with everything you need to initiate, guide, and conclude HIV/AIDS policy development--including sample agendas for a policy planning group. "Special Policy Considerations for Particular Populations," makes up the third section. The special populations include children, mentally ill, substance abusers, primary healthcare settings, cultural communities, Native American communities, adolescents, disabled, religious institutions, school/educational settings, and women's programs. The final section, "Support Materials," lists and discusses various resource sheets that are needed for staff training and education." Finally there are some important resources listed in the appendix that include referral lines and hotlines; organizations, foundations, and coalitions; federal government agencies; and policy research groups and clearinghouses.
This is an excellent manual, that is well organized, written for the layperson, and full of extremely helpful information. It should be a required book for any workplace, regardless of whether or not anyone currently is diagnosed with HIV. The author has done a remarkable job. This is highly recommended for all libraries from school to medical.
265. Talking with Your Child About AIDS, by Barbara J. Prince. 1993. United Church Press, Cleveland, OH 44155. 24p., bibliog. (Growing Together Series Book) ISBN 0-8298-0865-5. free. (Descriptors: Juvenile Literature)
This small booklet provides some honest and helpful information on what to say to children about AIDS. It includes the medical, social, and theological contexts stressing that "Actions and attitudes can convey strong messages, stronger than the words you speak." It includes some brief facts about AIDS/HIV transmission, the actual communicating which is broken into birth to 2 years, 3-4 years, 5-8 years, and 9-12 years. Since this is a religious publication there is a section on faith messages that stresses compassion for those with AIDS. "How we teach our children to respond to people with AIDS and HIV, and the difficult situations surrounding the AIDS epidemic, will have an impact on the care and treatment of AIDS patients that should not be underestimated." Recommended for personal use and school and public libraries.
266. 201 Things You Should Know About AIDS and Other Sexually Transmitted Diseases, by Jeffrey S. Nevid, Fern Gotfried. 1993. Allyn & Bacon, 160 Gould St., Needham Heights, MA 02194. 182p., bibliog. ISBN 0-205-14873-5. $13.95. (Descriptors: Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Testing, Women)
There are several reference sources that are set up with a question and answer format. This one is similar to these giving definitions, descriptions, health tips, and other information. The first chapter defines sexually transmitted diseases while the other chapters cover such topics as the AIDS epidemic, HIV/AIDS illness and transmission, women and AIDS, testing and treatment, gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, vaginal infections, herpes, viral hepatitis and genital warts, crabs and scabies, STD prevention, and condoms. A well written and authoritative reference source for the general public and student that is non-threatening. Recommended for school, public, and college libraries. Would also be useful in an university and medical library general reference section.
267. Community Prescription Service InfoPack. Community Prescription Service, Old Chelsea Station, PO Box 1274, New York, NY 10113-0920. v.1- , 1991- . free. (Descriptors: Prescription Service, Drugs)
Community Prescription Service is a HIV positive owned and operated business that provides medications at a discount or free by taking your insurance company's payment as payment-in-full once your annual deductible has been met. This newsletter is for those individuals who participate in this service. It provides interesting articles about drugs, nutrition, and therapies. The June, 1994, issue had the following feature articles: "The silent plague: HIV-Associated malnutrition," "Nutrition and HIV: a practical guide," "Combating weight loss in HIV," "Tokyo AIDS conference preview," and "State programs pay for private insurance." The main readers of this newsletter will be those who subscribe to the service, but public and medical libraries should get on the mailing list so that alternative information is made available to the library patrons and to the physicians.
268. Family and HIV, edited by Robert Bor, Jonathan Elford. 1994. Cassell, 387 Park Ave. South, New York, NY 10016-8810. 282p., illus., index. ISBN 0-304-33069-8, 0-304-32985-1pbk. $55.00, $21.95pbk. (Descriptors: Families, Social Support, Children, Counselling) (63 international contributors to this volume)
This is an extremely important book for all social workers, physicians, counselors, religious leaders, and anyone else who is contact with family situations where AIDS is present. We all know too well how some individuals are turned away by their families when it is discovered that they are HIV positive or have AIDS. This is truly a sad situation. "What distinguishes HIV disease from so many other illnesses, however, is the associated social stigma and the fact that HIV may be transmissible, or may already have been transmitted, within a relationship." Most past research has concentrated on the individuals, but it is now recognized that the family is a growing are of research since it affects relationships. This is one of the first books to speak to this issue and it is fitting that it is published in the United Nations International Year of the Family.
The five sections with papers by world renown authorities cover: "The Family," "Social Support," "Children," "Choice of Partners," and "Counselling." It not only covers the traditional families here and in other parts of the world but it covers those families that are in the gay and lesbian communities. Some of the articles are centered around Uganda. These are research articles that contain theories, ideas, predictions, and detailed bibliographic citations. It is a welcome book into the AIDS field. There needs to be more research in this area so that some of the myths and taboos can be dispelled. It will help greatly in education and in the understanding that we cannot turn anyone away, regardless of what the disease is. A "family" in all of its broad definitions, is extremely important. All counselors should read this book as well as physicians and religious leaders. Recommended for public, academic, and medical libraries.
269. Beyond Antibiotics: Healthier Options for Families, by Michael A. Schmidt, Lendon H. Smith, Keith W. Sehnert. 1993. North Atlantic Books, 2800 Woolsey St., Berkeley, CA 94705. 307p., bibliog., index. ISBN 1-55643-134-X. $16.95. (Descriptors: Antibiotics, Natural Medicine, Self Help)
This is another book sponsored by the Society for the Study of Native Arts and Sciences. The emphasis of this book is to look beyond the use of antibiotics and possibly into alternative medicines. It does not advocate dropping the use of antibiotics all together, but rather work with physicians in using their prescriptions. The authors state that "pessimists suffer twice the number of infectious illnesses as optimists." Also, couch potatoes have a more sluggish immune system that those who are active. This book does not discuss disease but rather delves into health and nutrition. Its goal "is to empower you by giving you the means to enhance health, boost resistance to illness and use sound preventive strategies that will help you and your family avoid the use of antibiotics where possible." The authors are not against the use of antibiotics. They are, however, against the abuse of antibiotic use. The main thing is to question your doctor and know why you are taking a particular antibiotic. Discuss with him alternative methods that may provide some healthier options.
Some of the chapters are: "Antibiotics: what your doctor may not tell you," "How nutrition affects immunity and infection susceptibility," "Immune-boosting nutrients," "Environmental threats to a healthy immune system," "Hygiene, lifestyle and personal habits," "Stress, life events and infections," "Vitamin C and infectious disease," "Common conditions for which antibiotics are prescribed," and "Ways to boost immunity and avoid antibiotics." Again, this book is not to replace the reputable physician. Instead, it should provide questions to ask the physician so that all approaches to the infection can be considered. Alternative medicine is not for everyone but it should be considered, especially when common sense is involved and the use of vitamins and nutrition are recommended. Recommended for home use as well as public, academic, and medical libraries.
270. Vaccines: Modern Approaches to New Vaccines Including Prevention of AIDS. 1st- , 1984- . Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 10 Skyline Drive, Plainview, NY 11803. ISBN 0-87969-405-X 1992. $100.00 per volume. (Descriptors: Vaccines, Viral Vaccines, Synthetic Vaccines, Prevention and Control)
Vaccines are uppermost in AIDS research. Although there are some being tested, they are still illusive. These annual volumes report research on new vaccines for many diseases, including those being tested for AIDS. They are the papers that were presented at annual meetings with international presenters. These are highly technical papers with detailed discussions and long bibliographies. All medical libraries should have a complete set of this publication and have a standing order for future volumes.
271. Positive Women: Voices of Women Living with AIDS, edited by Andrea Rudd, Darien Taylor. 1992. Second Story Press/InBook, PO Box 120261, 140 Commerce St., East Haven, CT 06512. 267p., illus. ISBN 0-929005-30-9. $14.95. (Descriptors: Patients, Biography, Women Diseases, Social Aspects) (38 contributors to this volume)
Both editors are HIV positive and have compiled and international anthology of works by women who are also living with HIV and AIDS. It includes a broad range of submissions including visual as well as written material. It, also, was submitted in many languages that were translated later into English. Since there is always a fear of losing ones job, many of the women used initials or pseudonyms in order to identify their identity. The resulting anthology contains a wide variety of content, some of which will upset those who read it. Homophobia, also, is not absent, nor is incest, addiction, or sexual abuse. The overriding reason for the book is to dispel myths with the biggest myth being that women don't get AIDS. "Women from all walks of life, from all around the world can and do get AIDS. There is no profile; there are no risk groups here. We are women living with HIV and AIDS. This anthology documents our lives."
This is a moving book that should be in all libraries from school to medical. It should be a comfort to women who have just discovered their HIV status. Highly recommended.
272. AIDS in Africa: Its Present and Future Impact, by Tony Barnett, Piers Blaikie. 1992. Guilford Press, 72 Spring St., New York, NY 10012. 193p., bibliog., index. ISBN 0-89862-880-6. $18.95. (Descriptors: Africa, Social Aspects, Predictions)
Although this is a 1992 publication, it is mentioned here as an important book that gives good general information about AIDS in Africa. Research in this area is difficult to obtain if at all, especially with all of the warring conflicts that are currently raging in the areas where AIDS is a very serious problem. The impact of AIDS in Africa has many social implications but the political problems prevent any way of combatting the disease. Orphans for one are a major problem as well as farming where the bread winner has died of the disease. Recommended for all academic and medical libraries.
273. After You Say Goodbye: When Someone You Love Dies of AIDS, by Paul Kent Froman. 1992. Chronicle Books, 275 5th St., San Francisco, CA 94103. 270p. ISBN 0-8118-0088-1. $10.95. (Descriptors: Psychological Aspects, Bereavement)
This is becoming a classic book for life partners, family members, and friends who have lost someone to AIDS. It should be read from cover to cover. Part one, "The emotions of grief," covers "grieving without becoming a victim," "grieving well," "depression and grief," "regaining emotional power," "get mad," "say goodbye to guilt," and "conquering fear with action." The second part, "AIDS grief," covers "when your life partner has died," "when a family member has died," "when your friend has died," "caregiver burnout," "when someone you care about is grieving," and "saying goodbye." Recommended for individuals, counselors, and physicians. Should be available in all libraries from school to medical.
274. AIDS and the Law: A Basic Guide for the Nonlawyer, by Allan H. Terl. 1992. Hemisphere Publishing Corp., 1900 Frost Road, Ste. 101, Bristol, PA 19007. 180p., bibliog. ISBN 1-56032-218-7. $19.95. (Descriptors: Law and Legislation)
There are many detailed works that cover AIDS and the law but this one is for the non-legal eyes. "It is written in the hope that an understanding of the legal issues relating to HIV disease will help those with specific rights to be aware of them, to muster the courage to insist on them and, if necessary, to pursue them through the courts." It is also written "in the hope that those outside the legal profession--those too often perplexed by what seems to them to be confusing legal mumbo-jumbo--will be able to understand the broad scope of our legal system as it interplays with the issues raised by this still fairly new phenomenon called AIDS." It is written in straightforward language with many references to the legal materials. Although much of the information is brief it covers the early legislative quick fixes, access to justice, public benefits, confidentiality, consumer fraud, criminal law, education, employment, family law, free speech, housing, immigration, insurance, military, prisons, public accommodations, quarantine, testing, torts, wills, disabilities, and the right to know. An excellent book for any personal library as well as being recommended for public, academic, and medical libraries.
275. Vaccine Research and Developments, volume 1, edited by Wayne C. Koff, Howard R. Six. 1992. 251p., illus., bibliog., index. 0-8247-8619-X. $125.00. (Descriptors: Vaccines, Prevention and Control) (Contributors to this volume: Anna Aldovine, MIT; Nancy J. Alexander, Easter Virginia Medical School; Rae Lyn Burke, Chiron Corp.; W. Neal Burnette, Amgen Inc.; George T. Curlin, NIH; Patrick Kanda, Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research; John R. La Montagne, NIH; Gary Ott, Ciron Corpl; Patricia J. Freda Pietrobon, Connaught Laboratories; Robert E. Stein, Georgetown Law Center; James P. Tam, Rockefeller Univ.; Gary Van Nes, Chiron Corpl; Richard A. Young, MIT)
This is the only volume published so far in this series. It provides a review, up to 1992, of research in the area of vaccines, some HIV-related. It reports more on the philosophy of vaccine research rather than on specific vaccines. Examples of papers presented: "HIV-1 virus-like particles as a source of antigen for AIDS vaccines," "The use of Muramyl peptides as vaccine adjuvants," "Contraceptive vaccine development: future prospects," and "The development of an HIV vaccine: legal and policy aspects." Recommended for all academic and medical libraries.

|Margaret C. Etter Early Career Award
To recognize outstanding achievement and exceptional potential in crystallographic research demonstrated by a scientist at an early stage of their independent career. The award is established to honor the memory of Professor Margaret C. Etter (1943-1992), who was a major contributor to the field of organic solid-state chemistry. Her work particularly emphasized the use of hydrogen bonds and co-crystals. In addition to a large body of experimental work she was the major force in devising a set of rules known as graph sets to describe hydrogen bonds in a way that revealed similarities between structures without being tied up in the crystallographic details. Her experience teaching at an undergraduate institution and in working in both an industrial and academic setting gave her an unusually broad perspective from which to mentor students and to support and encourage colleagues. She had a love for people, for science, and especially for people who do science, that we honor. Established in 2002 as an annual award, it consists of a monetary award of $1,000 and plaque. The winner will present a lecture at the American Crystallographic Association Annual Meeting.
Scientists involved in crystallographic research in the broadest sense will be eligible for the award. At the time of the closing date for nominations, nominees must be no more than 12 years beyond the awarding of their Ph.D. degree, not including career breaks, and must have begun their first independent (not postdoctoral) position within the past 10 years. Nominees employed in tenure-track academic positions must not yet have received tenure. Nominations must include a nomination letter clearly indicating accomplishments since the nominee began an independent career and assessing future potential. Additional supporting letters and a c.v. for the nominee may be provided but are not requirements. Self-nominations are permitted. Nominees may be employed in academia (including service crystallography), in industry or in government laboratories.

Charles E. Supper Instrumentation Award
To recognize scientists who have made exceptional contributions to crystallographic instrumentation. Charles Supper emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1925, bringing an ability to fabricate almost anything mechanical. While at M.I.T. during the late 1930s, he collaborated with Martin Buerger in the development of the precession camera. This instrument was to become the most significant single-crystal camera of the second half of the century. By 1941, he recognized the need for a company to manufacture and supply high quality, easy-to-use, reasonably-priced instruments for the X-ray crystallographer and he founded the Charles Supper Company. Mr. Supper's innovative designs and methods led to the commercial availability of the Buerger precession cameras, the Weissenberg camera, Debye-Scherrer powder cameras, goniometer heads, devices to fabricate crystal and protein models, film measuring instruments and other useful diffraction accessories. In the mid 1960s, the firm also became a major distributor for various crystallographic products created by others. The Supper Award is given periodically and consists of an honorarium to present a lecture at the annual meeting. The Charles Supper fund was established by his son, Lee, in appreciation to the community of X-ray diffraction scientists for their continued support throughout the years.

ACA Fellows
The ACA Council has established a Fellows program. It serves
to recognize a high level of excellence in scientific research, teaching, and
professional duties, but also service, leadership, and personal engagement in
the ACA and the broader world of crystallography and science. Our Fellows
program celebrates the excellence of our own members from within the ACA, and
promotes their recognition worldwide to constituencies outside of the ACA, such
as their employers, other scientific societies, and the government. ACA Fellows
will serve as scientific ambassadors to the broader scientific community and
the general public to advance science education, research, knowledge,
interaction, and collaboration. This program allows us to significantly
recognize and honor a broader cross-section of the membership than was
previously possible with other, more specific awards. We envision that
eventually about 5% of the membership will be recognized as Fellows, and will
announce new inductees and honor all ACA Fellows at the annual Awards Banquet. Click here for a list of ACA Fellows.
The procedure for nominating and selecting Fellows is as follows: A nomination package must be completed by the nominator, who must be an ACA member. In a cover letter, a case should be made for how the proposed Fellow meets the above criteria. A brief CV must also be provided, as well as two letters from other ACA members supporting the nomination. Nominations will then be passed to all current Fellows, who will be asked to vote on the suitability of the candidates. Fellows will be appointed by the ACA Council if a majority of those Fellows voting are in favor.

|Hey David -
Here's a shock for you - I actually watched 3 quarters of little-league football (umm, of course I mean college football) this past weekend. LSU vs. KY. That's 2 1/2 quarters more than I watched in the last 10 years. To be honest I enjoyed the game, but there's two rules that will keep me from watching it again.
First, that idiotic rule about the clock stopping with every first down. What!!! These people are all playing for the same thing - a chance to get to the pro's. So make them think like they'll have to when they get there. The entire game of football is about pressure. So use the clock to put pressure on them!
The other ridiculous rule is how y'all do overtime. I could really go off about that, but it's so messed up, I wouldn't know where to start. And watch out for Hawaii

Ok, i have finished the bezel now. I used bondo as my filler and it turned out pretty good i think. It's not perfect perfect, but i like it. I then painted it with 2 coats of semigloss black, and then 2 coats of flat black. This made the finish almost identical to my stock dash.
Here are some pictures of the completed dash:
Whole dash:
Screen on:
Closeup of how i mounted the xenarc bezel to my dash:
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.
I also have the entire computer up and running in my house. The only thing that hasn't gone as planned is that i can't get the bluetooth dongle to connect to my phone as a headset. It will only use the DUN bluetooth profile. I have tried to install the widcomm drivers, but to no avail. Otherwise i am very happy with the rest of the system.

Netbooks only a main PC for 11% of users
updated 12:35 pm EST, Fri January 30, 2009
ABI on Netbook as Main PC
Only about a tenth of computer buyers would consider using netbooks as their main systems, ABI Research says in a new study. About 11 percent of Americans asked about the devices say they would use one of the small but low-cost portables as their only or primary computer while majority at 79 percent only consider a netbook a companion device to either a main desktop or regular notebook. The more difficult controls and lower performance are seen as sufficiently high-enough barriers that they preclude many from considering netbooks as more than occasional PCs.
"While their low price does cause some consumers to view netbooks as a replacement for a laptop given the current economic conditions, the majority view a netbook as being a secondary device," ABI principal analyst Philip Solis says.
The findings aren't conclusive but suggest netbooks are less likely to control the PC market than expected. IDC statistics put netbooks at 7 percent of all PC sales for 2008 but were unable to conclude whether the systems were taking the place of normal notebooks or just supplementing existing models.
While early netbook pioneers like Acer and ASUS have championed netbooks, more traditional PC builders like Apple and Dell have said that most current designs are too uncomfortable or otherwise unsatisfactory; during Apple's latest financial conference call, COO Tim Cook described netbooks as having "cramped" input and being "much less powerful" than users would actually be willing to use. The Mac creator has said it might only enter netbooks if the field becomes more established.

Re "Left's ideology degrades republic," Jan. 7 letter:
This letter was putative of the ignorance and stratified condition of many white conservatives. Abraham Lincoln said, in his second inaugural address, "The wealth of this country is based upon the unrequited sweat and toil of 246 years of the bondsman." He said the wealth of this capitalist system is a byproduct of force, brutality and one of the most inhumane periods in human history.
The writer's letter is factitious, because "free market capitalism" is anything but free. Lincoln's statement made that perfectly clear. The U.S. became the richest country in the world through violence, subjugation and invasion. Slavery, the stealing of this land from Native Americans, and violating 400 treaties has documented that many times. That is where the fortunes of the Rockefellers, Carnegies, Morgans and Mellons were predicated on.
The U.S has invaded countries more than 150 times from the mid-19th century to Iraq where that wealth was also produced from, showing how brutal and barbaric capitalism has been, leading to the killing of millions. Capitalism does not work. If not for socialism and Keynesian economic policies such as Social Security, public works programs, Medicare, Medicaid and unemployment insurance, millions more would have died and suffered because unregulated capitalism is a cancer. The Great Depression, as well as the 2008 financial crisis, demonstrated that. Unfortunately, conservatives are the prototype "retrograde" species that live at the expense of people. That is why the quality of life in this society is so uncivilized.

Tufts Animal Care and Condition (TACC) Scales for Assessing Body Condition, Weather and Environmental Safety, and Physical Care in Dogs
The Tufts Animal Care and Condition (TACC) scales were designed by Gary Patronek, VMD, to help animal control officers, cruelty investigators, veterinarians, and others more accurately determine the condition of a potentially neglected dog. First printed in the manual, Recognizing and Reporting Animal Abuse: A Veterinarian's Guide, published by the American Humane Association (AHA), the TACC scales were field-tested by officers with the Massachussets SPCA and are now used by Fort Wayne (Indiana) Animal Care and Control and other agencies.
With these guidelines in hand, an officer can objectively assess an animal's physical condition and determine the degree of neglect or level of care being provided by the owner. After the officer has evaluated the dog's health, he may simply offer the owner some care guidelines and discuss the potential health risks posed to the animal. But in more extreme cases, the officer might seize an animal, record the TACC score in his report, and submit the evaluation as evidence in a court case.
Read more information and view the full scales.

70% of all amphibians are in decline. First published over 12 years ago, Dr. Tyrone Hayes has shown in laboratory-grade experiments that "Atrazine (≥0.1 ppb) induced hermaphroditism and demasculinized the larynges of exposed males…" Parts per billion!
Atrazine is the second most used pesticide in agriculture, after Roundup. It's the #1 used pesticide on the #1 crop, corn.
According to this evidence, drinking water can have enough atrazine in it to cause the effect in frogs. Exposure to the chemical is responsible for causing estrogen responses in animals, and the same chemistry and tissues exist in humans. Mammals aren't as sensitive as frogs to this chemical, we can eliminate it from our bodies, while amphibians are bathed in it. The good news is that atrazine is water soluble, so it might not persist in the environment if use is stopped.
People like to ask me about my observations and experiences biking and hiking, and I think this is the most pertinent bit of information I can hand off. The surface waters in the United States are of extremely poor quality. The animals aren't extinct, but they are increasingly isolated in little parks and preserves and unused areas. In agricultural areas, little ponds and streams look like toxic waste ditches and there is almost no life in them. The photo below is a great illustration, you cannot expect animals to live in a field of DeKalb I-90.
This issue became very political, it could mean that a range of cheap solutions become more expensive… but the science is good and the evidence has stood for itself over the years. It has already stood up in court.

CLIFTON, Colo. An investigation has been launched to determine the circumstances surrounding an incident Sunday night that ended with a man being shot by a Mesa County Sheriff's Office deputy.
At approximately 9:30 p.m. deputies were dispatched to the area of E Road and Mesa View Lane in Clifton for an adult male who called 9-1-1 making suicidal statements.
After making initial contact with the man at the corner of E Road and 33 Road, the deputy shot the man. The circumstances leading up to the shooting have not been released.
The man was transported to the hospital. He was conscious at the time of transport, but any updates on his condition since then have not been released.
We have the man's name from friends and family, but we have chosen not to release it out of respect for the man's privacy.
We spoke to a family member, who said he feels sorry for both the man and the officer under investigation.
"Hope that the result of this is that he recovers and he's healthy and changes his life," the family member said.
In order to investigate the officer-involved shooting, the 21st Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team has been activated. The investigation is being led by the Grand Junction Police Department.
