Rabies is a serious disease. It is caused by a virus. Rabies is mainly a disease of animals. Humans get rabies when they are bitten by infected animals.
At first there might not be any symptoms. But weeks, or even years after a bite, rabies can cause pain, fatigue, headaches, fever, and irritability. These are followed by seizures, hallucinations, and paralysis. Rabies is almost always fatal.
Wild animals, especially bats, are the most common source of human rabies infection in the United States. Skunks, raccoons, dogs, and cats can also transmit the disease.
Human rabies is rare in the United States. There have been only 55 cases diagnosed since 1990. However, between 16,000 and 39,000 people are treated each year for possible exposure to rabies after animal bites. Also, rabies is far more common in other parts of the world, with about 40,000 to 70,000 rabies-related deaths each year. Bites from unvaccinated dogs cause most of these cases. Rabies vaccine can prevent rabies.
Rabies vaccine is given to people at high risk of rabies to protect them if they are exposed. It can also prevent the disease if it is given to a personafterthey have been exposed.
Rabies vaccine is made from killed rabies virus. It cannot cause rabies.
If you have a minor illness, such as a cold, you can be vaccinated. If you are moderately or severely ill, you should probably wait until you recover before getting a routine (nonexposure) dose of rabies vaccine.If you have been exposed to rabies virus, you should get the vaccine regardless of any other illnesses you may have.
A vaccine, like any medicine, is capable of causing serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions. The risk of a vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small. Serious problems from rabies vaccine are very rare.
Other nervous system disorders, such as Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), have been reported after rabies vaccine, but this happens so rarely that it is not known whether they are related to the vaccine.
NOTE: Several brands of rabies vaccine are available in the United States, and reactions may vary between brands. Your provider can give you more information about a particular brand.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association volleyball coaches have selected the 2006 MIAA West Division-winning Washburn Lady Blues as the team for 2007.
WU edged defending conference champion Truman in the balloting, 77-73. The Lady Blues had six of a possible nine first-place votes (coaches cannot vote for their own school), while the Bulldogs picked up three top tallies.
Washburn has six starters back from last season, led by a pair of all-region choices from last year -- senior MHs Tessa Jones and Mandi Cox. Truman has to replace the MIAA's last two Most Valuable Player selections, but returns all-region junior MH Allie Cherven.
Central Missouri, an NCAA Division II regional finalist last season, was picked third in the poll, two points ahead of Pittsburg State. The Gorillas picked up the last available first-place vote.
Both UCM and PSU have six starters back from last season -- each needing to only replace their primary libero from 2006.
Northwest Missouri State was two points ahead of Emporia State for fifth place, 44-42. Missouri Southern checked in at No. 7 with 37 points.
Missouri Western, with former Oakland City (Ind.) head coach Tiffany Mastin now at the controls, was eighth in the survey with 22 points.
Fort Hays State placed ninth with 17 points, three ahead of Southwest Baptist -- the other MIAA squad with a new coach as Kelly Richardson takes over the Lady Bearcats. SBU ended a 55-match MIAA losing streak in 2006.
Once again this season, the top four teams in each division will advance to the MIAA Postseason Tournament. First-round matches will be hosted by the top two seeds in each division on Nov. 6.
The last two rounds will be hosted by the highest remaining East Division seed starting Nov. 9, with the finals the next day.

Troy Woodruff, chief of staff at the Indiana Department of Transportation, owned this 33-acre field with his father and brother before the I-69 project went through Daviess County. The Woodruffs sold a three-acre sliver to the state to build an overpass, then sold the remainder of the land to his uncle and cousins. The two transactions helped Woodruff and his father and brother reap a 83 percent gain on the land they purchased in 2007 for $148,500.

WASHINGTON, Ind. -- Troy Woodruff had more than one interest in the sale of property along the proposed route for I-69 through Southern Indiana.
Woodruff was a top official at the Indiana Department of Transportation -- the agency purchasing the property. And he and his family owned land right in the freeway's path.
Yet Woodruff never disclosed to state ethics officials his or his family's dealings with INDOT. Instead, they engaged in a series of deals that ultimately yielded an 83 percent gain on a piece of land Woodruff owned with his father and brother -- a scenario that an array of taxpayer ...

Just the other day as my two-year-old granddaughter was packing up to go home, she asked if she could take home a stuffed-animal froggy. I replied, "No, actually froggy needs some repair; one of the seams on his body needs to be re-sewn." Her reply: "Who did it? Was it Goldilocks? Did she get in here?" She had learned some information from a recent read of "The Three Bears" and transferred that knowledge into solving the question of why the frog needed repair. We thought it was pretty cute. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Now Goldilocks is getting blamed for anything that is damaged!

Couple of notes....I often show people (in India particularly) the image and more often than not they do a bit of posing, a few laughs and you get the shots that you were dreaming of......and don't forget that you can make print while you are there; I like to make prints for people that I have met and who may not have many other possessions...it is a way of expressing respect rather than waving money around....and one more....keep your camera discreet, particularly if you are wandering around what might be a difficult area. And finally...don't forget that you can make stitched panoramas.

Delphi points fingers at GM after being put on the hot seat for producing the defective ignition switches.
"NBC NIGHTLY NEWS" WILL AIR FROM 6:30 TO 7:30. Devin: OTHER NEWS HERE AT 6:00, TROY-BASED AUTO SUPPLIER DELPHI WAS ON THE HOT SEAT AND PRODUCED THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH. IT CLAIMS IT HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT. GUY GORDON IS IN THE NEWSROOM WITH THAT SIDE OF WHAT HAPPENED TODAY IN WASHINGTON. Guy: INTERESTING TESTIMONY FROM THE CEO OF DELPHI. THE PART THAT FAILED TO MEET GM SPECIFICATIONS, WE LEARNED ABOUT THAT EARLIER. THE CHIEF SAID HIS COMPANY DOES NOT BEAR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS THAT FOLLOWED. WE LEARNED GM CHANGED THE SPECS ON THE SWITCH TO GIVE IT A MORE LUXURIOUS FEEL. THEY WERE MADE IN ORDER TO MEET A SWITCH TEAL, A VERY EUROPEAN-STYLE SWITCH IN TERMS OF WHEN YOU TURNED IT. Guy: HE SAID THE TEAM WAS UNAWARE OF DEATHS UNTIL THIS PAST FEBRUARY. MARY BARRA AND HER IN-HOUSE INVESTIGATOR ABSOLVED DELPHI OF BLAME BECAUSE THE SUPPLIER WAS MERELY FOLLOWING GM'S INSTRUCTIONS. GENERAL MOTORS APPROVED THIS SWITCH KNOWING IT WAS BELOW TORM VALUES. WE'RE THE OEM, WE'RE THE COMPANY THAT'S RESPONSIBLE TO INTEGRATE THE PARTS INTO THE VEHICLE, SO IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY. Guy: DELPHI IS PRODUCING REPLACEMENT PARTS. CUSTOMERS AND DEALERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE DELAYS IN PARTS, RESULTING IN DELAYS IN REPAIRS, THE CARS THAT SOME CONSUMERS ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE. O'NEAL SAID THEY ENDED PRODUCTION ON THOSE MANY YEARS AGO AND IT'S A MONUMENTAL TASK TO REPRODUCE THEM. WE RETOOLED AND TRAINED ADDITIONAL WORKERS AND HAVE SHIPPED OVER 1 MILLION NEW SWITCHES AND WE'RE ON TRACK TO DELIVER MORE THAN 2 MILLION SWITCHES BY THE END OF AUGUST. Guy: LOCAL SERVICE MANAGERS SAY THEY'VE SEEN THE FLOW OF THE PARTS INCREASE MARKEDLY. SENATOR McCASKILL ACTUALLY GOT THINGS OFF TO A FRIENDLY START, PRAISING MARY BARRA, SAYING THAT SHE HAS STEPPED UP IN HER WORDS WITH COURAGE AND CONVICTION, FACING GM'S PAST MISDEEDS HEAD ON AND SAID GM WORKERS ARE GOOD PEOPLE WHO BUILD GOOD CARS WHO ARE VICTIMS OF WHAT McCASKILL CALLS GM OUTRAGEOUSLY INCOMPETENT MANAGEMENT. THAT SHOULD WRAP THINGS UP ON CAPITOL HILL.

Gov. Scott Walker gave greater clarity Monday to the guidelines he has set for his prospective review of off-reservation casinos in Kenosha and elsewhere, and Kenosha project backers didn't like what he had to say.
The bottom line for the Menominee Nation, which is awaiting federal review of its Kenosha application:
— Final approval from the governor won't happen without an end to opposition from the rival Potawatomi Tribe.
— The tribe would likely have to close its on-reservation casino in Keshena before it could open an off-reservation development in Kenosha.
Walker enumerated his position in an interview with Kenosha News editors and reporters.
In doing so, Walker outlined what he acknowledged is "a high bar" for the Menominee and other Wisconsin tribes that are looking to add to the state's roster of gambling houses.
Under federal law, Walker would have the final say on the Kenosha application, if it receives a positive recommendation from the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs. Menominee officials say a ruling from Washington could come soon, possibly by the end of January.
Most notably, Walker said consensus among the state's tribes — one of the three criteria he has referenced in the past — would mean approval from all 11 of the state's tribes.
That runs contrary to Menominee Nation Craig Corn's previous contention, based on an earlier statement by a Walker administration official, that one tribe would not be able to effectively veto the Kenosha application.
The Potawatomi, operators of an off-reservation casino in Milwaukee, have consistently opposed the Menominee proposal. Walker said the Menominee and Potawatomi would have to reach some sort of understanding for the Kenosha application to meet that criterion, should it reach Walker's desk.
"I'm trying to deal with a bar that says beyond gaming, just how am I going to find a way to not have constant feuding with all the tribal governments, when it comes to other issues that we're dealing with," Walker said. "Which is why we set that condition early on."
Corn, in a telephone interview, said he was surprised and disappointed to hear of Walker's view, which he said differs from what he was told in a meeting with Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch in August.
The Menominee chairman was similarly disappointed with a Walker statement Monday, that the opening of any new gambling facility would need to be accompanied by the closure of another.
Walker said his position is based on a 1993 statewide referendum, in which voters favored limiting the expansion of gambling in Wisconsin.
For the Menominee, the application of such a rule would likely involve closing the Keshena casino it has operated since the advent of tribal gambling in the late 1980s. Over the years, the tribe has stated intent to continue operating the Keshena facility along with Kenosha.
Asked whether the Kenosha proposal would have to be scaled back to the size of the smaller Keshena facility to meet his criterion, Walker was less clear.
"That one's a little harder, just because the referendum didn't specify," Walker said. "For us, we've kind of set out those terms. We'd have to look more closely at it."
Corn said the tribe had believed Kenosha language in its existing casino compact with the state would be sufficient for the Menominee project to meet Walker's criterion.
"That's news to us, too," Corn said. "It's just sad that we have to get this information secondhand."
Walker's third criterion — that a new casino enjoy the support of the community where it is to be located — is the least of the Menominee Tribe's worries, as the project won the support of 56 percent of Kenosha County voters in a 2004 referendum.
If Potawatomi approval will be needed for Walker to sign off on the Kenosha casino, it would appear an agreement is not close at hand.
Corn said the Menominee have made seven overtures to the Potawatomi to join the Kenosha project in some form, and all were rebuffed.
The Potawatomi, in a statement released Monday, did not indicate an agreement is close at hand.
"The off-reservation casino project currently being considered by the Menominee is riddled with a history of scandal and corruption and has come with many strings attached," wrote George Ermert, a spokesman for the tribe.
"For years, the Potawatomi have told the Menominee that they will not get involved with this project because of these factors — yet the Menominee continue to bring the same project to the Potawatomi for consideration."
Corn said perhaps Walker could help broker an agreement between the tribes.
Regardless, he said the Menominee will continue to push for the Kenosha venture, various incarnations of which date back to 1998.
"I'm just really frustrated that these criteria had to come out in the news," Corn said. "I wish they would have had some respect for the tribe and contacted us and let us know.
"The tribe's spending millions of dollars on this project, and you get one opinion from the secretary of administration and you get another from the governor, and nobody wants to talk about it. It's just not fair. It's frustrating."
Gov. Scott Walker's three self-imposed criteria for off-reservation casino approvals, and where the Menominee Nation's Kenosha casino proposal stands:
The casino has local support.
Not a particular problem for the Menominee, as 56 percent of Kenosha County voters backed the casino in a November 2004 advisory referendum.
The state's 11 sovereign tribes are in consensus in favor of the application.
This represents a challenge for the Menominee, as the Forest County Potawatomi Tribe has maintained opposition to the Kenosha casino.
The new casino does not represent a net increase in gambling in Wisconsin.
Walker suggested tribes would have to close an existing casino before opening a new one. In the case of the Menominee, that could mean having to close its on-reservation casino in Keshena to open one in Kenosha.
The Kenosha application would reach Walker's desk for final approval if and when it receives a positive recommendation from the federal government. Menominee Chairman Craig Corn said that could happen by the end of January.
Gov. Scott Walker covered a range of issues during an interview Monday with the Kenosha News editorial board. Here's what he had to say on a few topics.
On how he expects Wisconsin expects to look when he faces re-election in 2014:
"Hopefully it will continue on our path. Our whole goal with this next budget and the next legislative session is to create more jobs — help people in the state, that is, to create more jobs. So we'll focus on creating more jobs, developing the work force, transforming education, doing more to reform government and doing more infrastructure investments. I think a couple years out from now, hopefully we see a substantial level of not only new jobs, but new small businesses. Because I think most of the jobs that we create in the next few years are going to come either from startups or from small businesses that grow."
On his promise to create 250,000 jobs during his first four-year term in office:
"We're still pushing for it. I still think it's kind of like — I've got kids of my own, one in college and one in high school — I tell them I expect them to be on the honor roll. There can be all sorts of factors — it could be they're out sick for two weeks, they could have something come up that's challenging to them — but if I say, 'Oh, I'm lowering my expectations,' that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I still think just for the sake of all those families who lost work or work opportunities, I'm still aggressive."
On Wisconsin pursuing right-to-work legislation, as Michigan lawmakers approved last week:
"The other day, someone asked me after Michigan what I think about right-to-work, and I said, 'It doesn't matter what I think.' When I was in the Legislature, full disclosure, I supported it. I'm not flip-flopping on that. I'm just saying I looked at what happened with taking on an issue like that — and what happened not only recently with Michigan but what happened in Wisconsin with our Act 10 debate. I can't have anything that adds that level of uncertainty to the employers in this state. I'm not only not for it, I'm going to do what I can to make sure nobody else pushes it through the Legislature, because I think that would be a huge distraction from our focuses."
On his decision to allow the federal government to operate the health care exchange Wisconsin must offer under President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act:
"By nature, my gut instinct tells me if I've got a choice between the federal government and me running it, I want to run it. States are always better at doing things than the federal government. The problem is I believe the state exchanges are 'state' in name only. And what I mean by that is the only true flexibility from any sort of substantive standpoint is I can go from having a handful of people running it to hundreds of people running it. The federal government will give you that flexibility. But in terms of what I cover, how I cover it, what's involved with it, all of those things are ultimately restricted to the guidelines of the federal government. There is no flexibility for a state to say, 'We want to do something unique to Wisconsin.'"

School Library Representatives: role and responsibilities
Each School has a nominated Library Representative(s) who acts as a formal link between the School and the University Library Service (ULS) via their designated Subject Librarian.
There are three principal elements to the role of Library Representative:
1. Strategy
The University Library Service's purpose is to deliver to the University what it needs in its pursuit of excellence in research and learning and teaching. As such, it is essential the ULS is aware of the strategic needs of every School so that its library services and information resource provision can be aligned accordingly.
A key function of the Library Representative, therefore, is to ensure s/he is aware of the strategic needs of the School (and its associated research groups and centres) and to fully represent those needs to the ULS via the School's designated Subject Librarian.
2. Communication
The communication function of the Library Representative is to:
i. Ascertain library-related requirements from the School community and to ensure that those requirements are represented to the ULS via their Subject Librarian
ii. Disseminate information from the Subject Librarian or ULS regarding library services and information resource provision in a timely manner
iii. Discuss with their Subject Librarian major developments and innovations within the School which will require collaboration between the School and the library and/or will impact on demand for library services and information resources. Examples include: new courses or modules, new areas of research and grant applications
iv. Work in partnership with the Subject Librarian to represent library matters at relevant School Committees on behalf of or alongside the designated Subject Librarian.
3. Consultation
The third main element to the role of the Library Representative is to act as a point of consultation for the Subject Librarian concerning the management and development of the collections and library services provided for the School in accordance with the available library budget.
Key responsibilities include:
- Providing input into the School's biennial Collection Management and Development Agreement. This document is developed by the Subject Librarian in consultation with the School and outlines the respective responsibilities of the Library Representative and Subject Librarian, sets down principles regarding how the collection is managed and identifies areas for future collection development
- Assisting with reviews of subscription commitments
- Advising on School priorities in relation to the library budget.

Lawmakers on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee said they were tired of hearing about the longstanding problem.
"We need to know if we're on the right path," said Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont. "Right now, we're just treading water."
Veterans receive monthly payments for injuries or diseases incurred or made worse as a result of their military service. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have spurred an increase in the number of claims coming to the VA, and the complexity of the claims has increased as well. The number of veterans claiming eight or more injuries jumping by more than 200 percent in the past decade.
The number of claims considered backlogged, pending more than 125 days, has jumped from 180,000 to 600,000 over the past 3 1/2 years.
The top Republican on the committee, Sen. Richard Burr, brought up last week's failed demonstration project. VA officials said the computer program was run in a "lower-level environment" not at the production level where claims were actually processed.
"Wonderful testimony. It almost makes me embarrassed to ask questions that deal with facts," Burr said.
VA Undersecretary Allison Hickey emphasized that the VA was processing more claims than ever—more than 4.1 million over the past four years. She said that the agency made it easier for Vietnam veterans to get benefits for conditions related to Agent Orange, for Gulf War veterans to get benefits for conditions related to Gulf War illness, and for veterans of all wars to get benefits for post-traumatic stress disorder.
"While the decision was absolutely the right thing to do, it had an impact on our ability to keep up with the new claims coming in, and on the aging of claims we had already received," Hickey said.
Hickey said that the VA has rolled out its computer program to 20 disability claims processing offices and that a full rollout will have occurred by the end of the year.
Veterans groups seemed more optimistic than many lawmakers that VA is on the right track. Joseph Violante, national legislative director for the advocacy group, Disabled American Veterans, said the VA has set the right goals and that it has committed leadership.
"It's still too soon to judge whether the transformation will be successful," he said.

SAN FRANCISCO AND SAN RAFAEL, CALIFORNIA – San Rafael dentist Dr. Greg Larson is closely following a clinical trial for a test that could detect oral cancer in saliva.
Michigan State University surgeon Dr. Barry Wenig and Delta Dental of Michigan's Research and Data Institute are gearing up for a clinical trial to test patients' saliva for early detection of oral cancer.
The clinical trial will test between 100 and 120 patients who have white sores in their mouths or on their tonsils.
"These tests are as noninvasive as it gets," Dr. Wenig says. "Patients simply need to spit into a cup." The ease and speed of this test could save many lives threatened by oral cancer.
"Wenig and his team will be looking for certain biomarkers previously identified by researchers at UCLA," MSU reports. "The biomarkers have been shown in studies to confirm the presence of oral cancer."
Oral cancer is difficult to detect early. You may notice a small bump inside your mouth and decide to visit your dentist. Certain cancers don't show signs until they advance. You may also confuse the symptoms of oral cancer with something less harmful, such as a toothache.
The American Cancer Society lists a few ways dentists currently detect oral cancer at early stages. Dentists spread toluidine blue dye in the mouth, and the dye will shade any abnormal areas blue. Another process shines a laser light into your mouth that reflects abnormal areas differently than normal areas. A third method involves the patient rinsing with acetic acid. Your dentist will then use a light to inspect your mouth for abnormalities that are visible from the acid.
If an abnormality is found, your dentist will then take a biopsy of the suspicious area. The development of a saliva test will alleviate the need for biopsies on each suspected case since many lesions are benign. This will allow patients to receive diagnoses faster and start treatment faster.
Dr. Larson and his team perform an oral cancer screening using manual manipulation of the lips and tongue to discover any hidden lesions. With each examination, a magnifying camera and light are used to scan the entire oral cavity for any abnormalities. Lesions in the throat and posterior areas that are not visible can be detected with the new tests. After five years of being diagnosed, the survival rate for oral cancer is between 50 and 60 percent, according to the National Institutes of Health. Oral cancer claims 30,000 new cases per year and Dr. Larson is interested in using the latest science to help combat that number.
At Larson Dentistry, you and your family will receive expert oral care at each visit. Your regular dental visits will include thorough cleanings, oral cancer screenings, X-rays, and examination of your teeth, mouth, gums and jaw as needed.
Dr. Larson also provides cosmetic services such as Invisalign Teen, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening and laser gum contouring. You can preview your future smile with Dr. Larson's dental simulation software. Dr. Larson uses implant dentistry to replace missing teeth with implants matched perfectly to your existing tooth color. Contact our office today to schedule a routine appointment or to inquire about an abnormality in your mouth.

November 28, 2015
PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - A federal judge has ordered Santa Rosa
County schools to stop promoting religion.
The judge granted a preliminary injunction late Friday night. The American Civil Liberties Union had filed a suit against the school district in August, claiming that school officials were proselytizing and conducting other religious activities in public schools. The court's order requires school officials to stop a number of activities that promote religion.
The school district filed an admission of liability with the court last month, offering to self-correct any unconstitutional practices. Superintendent Tim Wyrosdick says the school district had actually been working on the problem before the suit was filed and plans to comply with the judge's ruling completely.

Family doctor asks questions about the impact to her patients and practice
Arlington, VA – Today Americans for Prosperity, the nation's largest grassroots advocate for economic freedom, announced the launch of the 2nd ad in an effort that highlights the negative consequences of President Obama's healthcare law. The ad is part of a larger educational effort intended to reach those who stand to suffer the most under ObamaCare, and educate them on how the law could negatively impact their healthcare.
The new TV ad, called "Doctor Questions," features the story of Dr. Gallagher, who has questions about how ObamaCare is going to impact her patients and medical practice. She identifies as one of the 65% of doctors who believe more government intervention is detrimental to healthcare. Doctors throughout the country will also be faced with massive new government mandates, rules, and red tape that will mean 190 million hours per year in new paperwork, reducing the amount of time that doctors have to see and take care of their patients. The threat of new requirements and rising costs has led to an increasing number of private physicians who may have to close their doors.
"ObamaCare is confusing and costly for doctors and patients alike." explained AFP President Tim Phillips. "Doctors are concerned that they may not be able to provide care their patients deserve and are worried about what will happen to their practices. We feel it is time for some honesty on the true consequences of government intrusion into the private healthcare decisions of doctors and patients, and to provide a counter to the disinformation that's out there."
Viewers of the new ad are directed to visit ObamaCareRiskFactors.com, where an online calculator will assess each individual's risk of suffering painful effects of the new law, and enable them to share their own risk factors.
AFP state chapters will engage activists around the country to further educate and provide information on the negative consequences of ObamaCare.

Issaquah Cooperative Preschool turns 50
April 17, 2012
By Amanda Austin
Issaquah mother Dana Macario admits she was initially concerned when Tent City 4 took up residency in the parking lot of the community church where her children attend preschool.
Instead of chasing transients out of the facility, however, the parents of the Issaquah Cooperative Preschool combined their efforts to provide a dinner for the Tent City 4 occupants in January.
Many parents brought their children with them on that cold, winter evening to help deliver the food. Macario said it turned out to be a great experience.
"Seeing both parents and children working together to help those in need was such a great example for the kids," she said. "It felt good knowing that our little group, in our own small way, was doing something to help others."
Cooperative-style schools require the time, effort and, well, cooperation of the parents of each participating child to foster a play-based learning environment. Each parent is required to work in the classroom two to three times per month, hold another job or board position for the school, and attend a monthly parent meeting.
What to know
Issaquah Cooperative Preschool open house
While cooperative education methods first showed up in the United States somewhere around the dawn of the 20th century, the Issaquah Cooperative Preschool took shape in 1962 — meaning the popular community establishment will celebrate its 50th birthday this year.
At its humblest beginnings, the co-op convened in a portable classroom owned by the Issaquah School District, according to Marie Frauenheim, who has been working with the co-op since 1993 as a parent educator. She is currently the parent education instructor for the 4- and 5-year-olds' class.
Parents whose children attended the school sought a more permanent space for the social and intellectual classroom environment they wanted for their preschoolers. In 1986, the co-op moved to the Community Baptist Church — now called the Community Church of Issaquah — where it remains today.
Why go cooperative?
"A co-op can tap the resources of many talented parent-adults," Frauenheim said.
Macario echoed that opinion: "Every parent has unique talents, abilities and ideas to offer the children, and I think that is a tremendous benefit."
The play-based learning philosophy was also a huge selling point for Macario, but it was the sense of community and extra involvement that ultimately won her over. She explained that a co-op isn't for everyone, because it does demand more commitment from parents. In the end, though, the friendly, communal nature of it all makes it worth it.
The parent participation component of the co-op sets it apart from traditional preschools, Frauenheim said.
"This provides a unique opportunity for them to observe their child's interactions and growth," she added.
"By being a part of a co-op," Macario said, "I'd have a better sense of what my daughter was experiencing at preschool."
Macario said her favorite part of working at the school is the snack room, because she enjoys observing the friendly interactions between the children.
"I love hearing the different conversations they have and getting glimpses into everyone's personalities," she said.
It's an opportunity to learn about your child's social behavior that you wouldn't have if he or she were enrolled in a traditional drop-off preschool, Macario said.

Thanks for the great article on Issaquah Cooperative Preschool! We are looking forward to introducing our new teacher at the Open House on Friday morning.
One correction – in the 5th paragraph it should say, …"Each parent is required to work in the classroom two to three times per month (not week!)"….

Another Business Falls Victim To Money Deposit Scam
By Mike Perleberg
Photo provided by Batesville Police Department
(Batesville, Ind.) – Another local business has been taken in a scam that persuades employees to hand over cash deposits to total strangers.
Batesville Police say the Dollar General store on State Road 229 was taken for approximately $2,000 on Thursday, July 24. That was after an unknown person called the store and told an employee that somebody from the corporate office would be coming by to pick up the daily deposit.
A woman later came into the store and was given the deposit by the same employee at around 5:28 p.m. that same day.
The female suspect seen in surveillance photos released by Batesville Police, who are working with surrounding law enforcement agencies to try to identify her. Anybody who may be able to provide information is asked to call the Batesville Police Department at (812) 934-3131.
A similar scam occurred at the Ameristop gas station in Greendale on July 28. Investigators identified a suspect in that episode last week.
At Least this robber was smart enough to wear a Hat, the Dumb one in Lawrenceburg my as well have smiled for the Camera..
I don't understand how these employes think a "corporate" employee would show up dressed like this. There seems to be a common stupity factor among clerks at these businesses.

Modular construction combines prefabricated building in a factory setting and simultaneous onsite preparation followed by onsite assembly and finishing. The result is built-to-last structure that's up and running up to 50% faster than traditional construction.
ModSpace takes full advantage of a controlled production environment, the latest manufacturing technologies, and the design flexibility of modular construction to produce high-quality permanent or temporary prefabricated buildings for any demand.
Repeatable design is a key benefit in prefab buildings. The consistent production process allows factory engineers and technicians to continually monitor the process and make improvements where possible to deliver the best possible product.
The prefab office building process starts with the assembly of a wood, steel and concrete or 100% concrete frame. Machine-cut wood, steel, or poured cement walls are added to the prefabricated modular buildings to exact design specifications. Electrical wiring and plumbing are installed before the unit is readied for transport. Redundant quality controls confirm spot-on manufacturing accuracy before every prefabricated office building leaves the factory.
Modular construction takes multi-tasking to a whole new level. While your prefabricated offices are built in the factory, ModSpace construction services professionals are at your site preparing the foundation to receive the completed modules. The land is graded, cement foundation poured and piers are placed as needed to support the completed prefab offices.
With all modules complete and shipped to the site, the foundation prepped and ready, the prefabricated modular buildings are crane set into place and connected to the foundation and each other for a solid and durable completed building. Utilities are connected and your choice of exterior finishes are added, including perfectly matched to neighboring buildings.
The resulting prefabricated modular buildings are environmentally-friendly, with the all the same architectural aesthetics you would expect from conventional buildings. And with a greatly reduced time to occupancy, your business can start generating revenue sooner, and accelerate your return on investment.
The ModSpace Construction Services Team can deliver environmentally-friendly prefab office buildings that meet the highest green standards, including LEED certified.
The component nature inherent in every prefab office building allows them to be quickly and easily configured and reconfigured to meet your changing needs.
ModSpace delivers more overall value to every prefab office project with end-to-end Design-Build capabilities. Our in-house team of architects, engineers and construction professionals can take your modular construction project from white board to brick and mortar in less time.
From your ModSpace single point of contact you'll get more information right upfront and the expert advice you need to make well-informed, confident decisions regarding the best building and process for you.
*Time saving, quality, and eco-impact claims based on research by the Modular Building Institute.

I regret I have lived long enough to see something as outrageous as Overland Park's proposed coyote ordinance (1/15, Local, "Revised coyote ordinance is endorsed; Overland Park proposal calls for the city to do trapping, with residents to bear some of the cost"). This is what happens when people think government should do everything for them and they forget how to take care of themselves. Their brains turn to mush.
There was a time when city government provided basic services, monitored and managed development took care of infrastructure, and provided police and fire protection. Today they feel the need to waste taxpayer dollars by getting involved in everyone's personal problems and catering to the whiners.
Once upon a time, pet owners were smart enough to recognize that small fuzzy dogs and cats were potential "coyote bait" and didn't leave them outdoors and unattended in semi-rural areas. Since some residents of Overland Park don't have good sense, perhaps the city should ban any fuzzy pets weighing less than 25 pounds. After all, they banned "pit bulls."

An award-winning author of twelve novels and nine nonfiction books, Patrick Dearen is a writer today because of his lifelong interest in Edgar Rice Burroughs and Leigh Brackett.
Dearen earned a journalism degree from The University of Texas in 1974 and won nine national and state awards as a reporter for two West Texas daily newspapers. His nonfiction books have centered on cowboy life and the Pecos River country, essential background for his novels "The Big Drift" and "To Hell or the Pecos." Another novel, "Perseverance," grew out of his interest in hobo life during the Great Depression.
Three of Dearen's books examine legends of lost treasure, which in turn inspired the story of a quest for a legendary interstellar power in his Starflight series, which consists of "Starflight to Destiny" and "Starflight to Eternity."
A ragtime pianist and backpacking enthusiast, Dearen has received awards from Western Writers of America, Will Rogers Medallion Awards, San Antonio Conservation Society, West Texas Historical Association, and Permian Historical Society. He makes his home in Midland, Texas, with his wife Mary and their son Wesley.

New details on deadly plane crash in the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge that killed two
Two people confirmed dead in Sunday night crash
WELLINGTON, Fla. - Two people were killed Sunday evening when a small airplane crashed west of Boynton Beach.
The aircraft went down in rough terrain in the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, a spokesperson for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said. The cause of the crash is under investigation by federal aviation officials.
Both victims were present at the Stuart Air Show. John Painter, a manager with Air Orlando, said one of the deceased was an experienced Orlando-area pilot with more than 15 years and thousands of hours of flying documented.
The pilot, whose name has not been released, rented the single-engine Cirrus SR-22 plane a few days ago from Air Orlando, a flight school and aircraft rental company at Orlando Executive Airport. Painter said, as far as he knew, the passenger was a relative of the pilot's.
Air Orlando Manager John Painter told The Sentinel the pilot was flying to South Florida to take a helicopter training class at a local airport. He was apparently relocating the four-seat plane from one airport to another when the accident happened, Painter said, meaning this was not a training flight.
PBSO said that a distress call from a pilot in another plane was relayed to the control tower at Palm Beach International Airport at 5:46 p.m. That pilot reportedly saw the Cirrus SR-22 airplane in trouble.
The plane is registered to a company called Mann Aviation from Geneva, Florida.
Family members of the victims were at a staging area set up by officials Monday morning.
A PBSO helicopter spotted the wreckage and guided airboats from the The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and Palm Beach Fire Rescue to the area.
Currently the plane sits in 7 feet of "muck" under about a foot of water, said Bill Calvert of the US Fish and Wildlife. The plane took a nosedive into the Everglades, nine miles north of the staging area.
When the plane was discovered Sunday night, Calvert said officials weren't able to recover a single thing. Eric Davis, a sheriff's office spokesperson, said the aircraft and the bodies will likely not be moved until sometime late Monday because airboats must be used to get to the wreckage.
National Transportation Safety Board investigator Dennis Diaz, who flew in from his Virginia office Monday morning, said officials cannot work the scene until a "rocket" is deemed safe. The plane was equipped with this "rocket" so that a parachute could be deployed, helping the plane glide down to the ground.
Painter said all Cirrus aircraft have this ballistic parachute recovery system that allows planes to lower to the ground without damage to plane or its occupants.
Diaz said investigators are trying to determine if the parachute or rocket was deployed.

text: Boeing 727 Crashes in Mexico—as Part of TV Show Discovery Channel will air footage later this year By Kate Seamons, Newser Staff | Suggested by ClickItOrTicket Posted Apr 30, 2012 12:44 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (9) (Newser) – A Boeing 727 crashed in a Mexican desert on Friday—on purpose. The staged event was carried out by the Discovery Channel, which will air the "groundbreaking" footage as part of a documentary series called Curiosity. With a name like that, it doesn't take much of a stretch to figure out what the network was trying to do: answer "the big questions about how to make plane crashes more survivable." To do that, it orchestrated what it calls a "serious, but survivable, passenger jet crash" using a plane stuffed with crash-test dummies and cameras, reports the Los Angeles Times. No word on what conclusions it drew, but Discovery did seek to allay a few concerns: The pilot is just fine (he ejected just before the crash); the network made sure to keep things safe (Mexican military and police and private security were present); and it didn't junk up the desert (the plane will be salvaged and Discovery hired a group to perform an "extensive environmental cleanup operation").

What's more, one of them landed a huge jackpot while playing the other's quarter. Each tries to find a way to walk away with the fortune but without the marriage.
May 16
"The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian": In this second film based on writer C.S. Lewis' "Narnia" tales, the young heroes from the first movie are transported back to the wondrous world they explored in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." Most of the major players from the first film, including director Andrew Adamson, are back.
May 22
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull": Harrison Ford returns for another adventure by the globe-trotting title character. If that's not exciting enough for you, note that Steven Spielberg is in the director's chair and Cate Blanchett, Karen Allen, Shia LaBeouf and John Hurt are along for the ride.
May 30
"Sex and the City": Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon reprise the roles they originated for their hit HBO TV series.
June 6

He says, however, that he has not seen the picture and that his opinion is based primarily on the trailer.
June 27
"WALL-E": Pixar writer-director Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo") is back with another animated adventure. This time he tells the story of a robot who, after centuries of loneliness, discovers his purpose.
"Wanted": James McAvoy plays Wesley Gibson, a slacker whose life is dramatically altered when he's recruited by a group of super-assassins. Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman and Terence Stamp also star.

July 11

"Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D": Brendan Fraser stars in a modern adaptation of the Jules Verne novel about a group of people who find a remarkable and dangerous world at the center of our planet. The real hook, however, is new 3D technology that is supposed to be easy on the eyes.
July 18
"The Dark Knight": This film will be remembered as the final project that Heath Ledger completed, but it would have been big news even if the young star hadn't died. That's because it re-teams "Batman Begins" director Christopher Nolan with most of the stars from that first hit. Christian Bale plays Batman, Michael Caine is Alfred and Gary Oldman is Police Lt. Jim Gordon. Ledger is featured as the uber-creepy villain the Joker.
July 25
"X-Files: I Want to Believe": Filmmakers aren't revealing much about this second "X-Files" movie, but the story reportedly stands on its own, so viewers don't have to be deeply versed in show mythology. Creator Chris Carter is directing and David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are back in the leading roles.
"Step Brothers": Will Ferrell is a slacker living with his mother, and John C. Reilly is an equally unmotivated guy living with his father. When their parents get hitched, they become stepbrothers.

August 8
"Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2": The first "Sisterhood" picture introduced viewers to four lifelong friends and detailed their experiences during a summer vacation. This sequel continues the story as they experience college. Both movies are based on books by Ann Brashares.
"Pineapple Express": "Superbad" scribes Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen team with writer-producer Judd Apatow for a comedy about two potheads who witness a murder and are forced to go on the run. Rogen also stars in the film, and he's joined by James Franco and Bill Hader.
August 15
"Star Wars: The Clone Wars": George Lucas' science-fiction epic continues with an animated film packed with exploits from Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and their pals.
"Tropic Thunder": Ben Stiller-directed comedy about a group of actors who must transition from playing soldiers to being soldiers when they run into a group of bad guys on location. Stiller also acts in the film, and he's joined by Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr.
"The International": Clive Owen plays an Interpol agent who, with the help of an assistant district attorney (Naomi Watts), is trying to topple a bank run by corrupt and dangerous officials. Tom Tykwer ("Run, Lola, Run") directs.

NORTH TONAWANDA, NY-The lineup is out for one of WNY's few remaining free concert series, the "Cornerstone's Niagara River Rocks" at Gratwick Riverside Park in North Tonawanda.
Mayor Robert Ortt and representatives from the Cornerstone Community Federal Credit Union announced Primus, The Tea Party and Rusted Root will be the featured bands this summer.
The concerts themselves are free, however, there will be a $5 charge for parking. No food, backpacks or coolers will be allowed at the park. Food and drinks will be available for purchase if desired.
"When I took office, I pledged to work to bring back major bands and musical acts to North Tonawanda," said Mayor Ortt. "Last year's show was such a huge success and we expect these three shows to bring thousands of concert goers to one of the most beautiful venues along the Niagara River, Gratwick Riverside Park."

Cooling Energy and Savings Tips
Free cooling tips you can use today!
- Close your house during the day. Opening the windows in summer actually heats the house.
- Use fans to minimise air conditioner use. A small fan will use much less power than a wall mounted air conditioner.
- Don't overcool your house. Keep the cooling thermostat set above 24°C.
- Don't leave your cooling unit running overnight or while you're out during the day. It's much cheaper to turn the unit off while you are sleeping, and turn it on again when you return or wake up in the morning.
- Close any rooms off that aren't occupied.
Further cooling tips
- Windows lose energy much faster than walls, even uninsulated walls. Install effective window treatments to keep the cool air in.
- Use portable and ceiling fans. The best choice for cooling, fans are cheap to run and produce less greenhouse gas. A ceiling fan only costs about $0.25c/day to run.
- Choose reverse-cycle systems where possible. They are not as energy intensive, generate less greenhouse gases and reduce your bills!
- When replacing your air conditioning unit, ensure you buy the most energy efficient unit that is available (i.e. at least 5 stars). Look for the energy star rating label.
- Cleaning filters regularly will ensure the optimum operation of your appliances.
- Choose energy efficient appliances. When purchasing your next appliance, large or small, choose one with an AAA energy star rating.
- Weatherproof your home. Sealing up gaps and cracks will improve your home's comfort and reduce energy use and cost.

A new poll points to the infrequency with which apartment and condominium dwellers obtain renters insurance.
According to a recently released poll conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International, less than one-third of all renters have renters insurance.
One of the main reasons for this appears to be due to the notion that it's expensive. For example, the poll found that six in 10 respondents thought the average cost for coverage was far more than what it is in actuality. According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, the typical policy is no more than $185 per year, or the equivalent of approximately $15 per month.
"Renter's insurance is a lot more affordable than most people think," said insurance expert Laura Adams, senior analyst for the quote comparison website that commissioned the poll. "Most renters don't realize that their landlord's insurance usually only covers the structure and not the renter's belongings."
Another justification respondents gave for not having a policy in place included the apartment or rental home having high quality security.
As noted by the Insurance Information Institute, there are generally two types of renters insurance - actual cash value and replacement cost. The former provides policyholders with the funds needed to replace their belongings should they be destroyed or stolen up to the limit of the policy, taking into account if the items depreciated in value. The latter pays for replacing the belongings based on what was spent when it was first purchased, paying no mind to whether or not it's less valuable.

The 'Mean Streets' are getting meaner!
The "bad old days" of offenders killing police officers is not some time in the 70s, it is now!
For this last column of 2010, PoliceOne Senior Editor Doug Wyllie asked me to look at lessons learned from recent police shootings. Doing a thorough analysis of such events is a rather large undertaking, starting with the need to capture the events, when there isn't really a real-time database of police involved shootings. So, short a full-blown anecdotal analysis of recent police shootings, I'll put forward my gut reaction. The mean streets are getting meaner. This is not an old guy saying, "Things were tougher when I was young." On the contrary, the "bad old days" of offenders killing police officers is now.
From a purely numerical point-of-view, the numbers of officers being killed in the line of duty each year was much worse in my youth. The largest number of officers feloniously killed in a single year was, if my aging memory still works, 132 officers murdered in both 1972 and 1973. So, with the number feloniously killed running around 50 for the last several years, things are getting better, right? After all, more officers were tragically killed in on-duty accidents last year than were murdered ... for the first time since we've been keeping score.
No, things are not getting better. Since the early '70s we have seen body armor thousands of cops from death or great bodily harm. In fact, according to Ron McBride at the DuPont/IACP Survivor's Club, some 3,112 Law Enforcement Officers have been saved by body armor since the first documented save in 1975... an average of 90 per year. Not all of them are felonious attacks, some are car crashes, but the number is still awesome!
Weapons, Tactics, and Nature
In the 70s, police officers were primarily shot with handguns, generally the size carried by the officers or smaller. Handguns still rate number one in terms of weapons used by felons, but the calibers are often the size carried by the officers or larger. Even more deadly is the rise in the use of long guns by felons, particularly center-fire caliber rifles, like the .223 Remington (5.56x45mm) or the 7.62x39mm. LTC Dave Grossman summed up the power of a rifle in his famous quote: "Taking a rifle to a gunfight is like taking a chainsaw to a knife fight," and that power works just as effectively for our enemies. Felons have learned that a rifle provides them with both a distance and a penetration advantage. No concealable body armor will reliably protect you from a rifle round, though some lucky "stops" have occurred.
The tactics of the felons have also changed. In the past, officers rarely faced more than a single assailant with a pistol, perhaps an armed robber flushed from the crime scene or a desperate felon on a traffic stop who was determined not to go back to prison. Now, we are seeing an evolution in criminal behavior that includes two very dangerous trends — felons who have learned how to spring an impromptu or deliberate ambush and criminals working as coordinated teams.
I detailed the ambush problem in the articles referenced above, but teams of criminal shooters pose an extraordinarily powerful threat. In West Memphis, Arkansas in May of 2010, a father and son team combined the deadly power of an ambush with long guns, and hate-filled aggression, to kill two West Memphis officers on a traffic stop. When two other officers later discovered those killers in a parking lot, the combination of explosive violence and heavier weaponry nearly cost more police lives. Another father/son team used rifles to kill a Waukesha (Wisc.) Police Captain after a bank robbery in 1994, nearly three years before the wild bank robbery gun battle with two rifle-armed monsters in North Hollywood.
A highly respected friend who died from cancer last year was one of the last great men from the first generation of SWAT officers our nation developed. He told me once of his concerns for the direction SWAT teams were headed. In the early days, SWAT teams typically made stealthy, surreptitious entries when forced to go into a building, hoping for an element of complete surprise. But, my friend said, now the younger guys tend to think in terms of violent, explosive entries as the way to surprise a barricaded gunman or hostage holder. My friend was the Entry-Team expert, not me, but he feared that overconfident teams had grown accustomed to encountering primarily drunks and fools, who were ill prepared to resist a "dynamic" entry.
In fact, his prophetic words have been borne out in more than one high-cost SWAT engagement. We have seen teams take heavy casualties when they made entry on a suspect who was both well armed and ready to fight head on. They aren't all drunks and fools. Similarly, not all school shooters are scared little boys who will crumple as soon as they face an authority figure.
Law Enforcers Under Attack
Several other examples of bad guys hunting the good guys could be outlined, four off-duty officers in just the last few months in Chicago … here in my own state. Just yesterday, as I write this, the murder of Chief Deputy Kevin Roberts of the Greene County (Ga.) Sheriff's Office proves this final point. A convicted felon executed the Chief Deputy, then self-inflicted, at the very place an officer should be able to feel safe, at the front door of his own home on a quiet Sunday morning.
What can we do to counter these threats? First, avoid the poison of denial. It can happen in your community and it can happen to YOU! Whether you work in Manhattan, New York or Manhattan, Montana, stay alert and vigilant for your own safety and the safety of your fellow officers. When you gather in groups, while relaxing in a coffee shop or while gathered at an incident scene, make sure some of you maintain a 360 degree alertness.
We can't allow ourselves to drift into paranoia and draw a weapon on every citizen encounter, but cultivate a "sixth sense" to help you pay attention to that little voice who whispers "danger" in your ear. I remember a legendary academy instructor who had the paperwork to prove he had made more than 25,000 traffic stops in his career as a State Trooper. He warned us that if your little voice says "don't stop this guy – something seems really wrong," ... to listen to that voice! If something feels hinkey, back off and get some help. It is never cowardice to ask for backup when something doesn't feel right.
Train HARD and train OFTEN. Hone your survival and fighting skills at every opportunity. I guarantee your department will not provide you with adequate training time or ammunition to maintain peak performance, especially in today's budgetary climate. It's your life, you have to decide how much of your own time and money to spend in protecting it.
Whether as patrol officers, investigators, or "bulletproof" SWAT cops, we really need to think long and hard about any mission which will confront a felon on his home turf. Perform a reasoned Risk Assessment on every mission. Do we really need to arrest him today? Do we really need to arrest him at his home? In most cases, we can arrest him somewhere else or at some other time.
Get Pissed Off!
I work at a police academy, interacting daily with the bright, young faces who will be joining your ranks in a very few weeks. In some respects I envy their youth and enthusiasm, but I do not envy these boys and girls the dangers they will face in their careers. This new generation of sheepdogs manning the thin, blue line will encounter wolves that are leaner, hungrier and have sharper teeth. The killers are packing more powerful weapons, have learned the effectiveness of teamwork and ambush tactics, and are perfectly willing to bring the fight to us, rather than waiting in their lair for us to arrive. So, we must be ever stronger, faster and more determined.

TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE: "Under the Dome," 10 p.m., CBS.
Somehow, Big Jim - the corrupt councilman and drug dealer - has almost become the good guy.
He seemed that way last week, when someone took away his propane business; Jim blew him up. And he seems that way compared to his son Junior, the unbalanced cop.
Tonight, they collide and Junior learns about his mother's death. Also, Julia sees the power of the dome.
TONIGHT'S ALTERNATIVE: "The Godfather" (1972), 8 p.m., AMC.
One of the all-time great movies airs tonight and at the same time Friday.
Then again, you might want to catch it alongside its sequel (1974) - both Oscar-winners for best picture. That's at 4 and 8 p.m. Tuesday or 12:30 and 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
? "How I Met Your Mother," 8 p.m., CBS. Barney promised Robin he'd get rid of his bachelor pad, but doesn't seem serious. In this rerun, he keeps discouraging potential buyers.
? "Switched at Birth," 8 p.m., ABC Family. A week before the season-finale, we find pre-wedding struggles. Toby is called away from his bachelor party; Nikki has trouble getting into bachelorette-party spirit.
? "Rio" (2011), 8 and 10 p.m., FX. Here are two chances to catch an animated delight, glowing with the look and sound of Rio de Janeiro.
? "New Girl" and "The Mindy Project," 9 and 9:30 p.m., Fox. Here are reruns that spurred key changes in these excellent shows. In "New Girl," the roommates offer funny accounts of losing their virginity, leading to a big moment for two of them. And in "Project," Mindy dates the youth pastor (Anders Holm) who would play a big role in the season's final episodes.

MedSkool Grand Rounds 3.36- Thanks!
Many thanks to the folks at MedSkool for including my post on "Contraception - A Basic Human Right" in this week's Grand Rounds 3.36 offering. Time has proven that neither abortion nor "just saying No" to sex is an acceptable solution to unplanned/unwanted pregnancy. Our best hope lies in sex education and contraception, but our country sorely lags the rest of the world in these areas.
