Shroud lifted from county prison study
February 15, 2013
Lycoming County Commissioner Jeff Wheeland, board chairman, on Thursday released a copy of a taxpayer-funded prison needs assessment to the Sun-Gazette in response to the newspaper's repeated......
Surprise! Surprise! The prison/county is being secretive about their finances and inner workings. Ha!
Hoping for one shrewd of journalism left from the SG if the info gets released. The "prober" will probably be silenced and this issue will get buried.
Wheeland--our eyes only. what a joke!

My Gimpy Life – What Works/What Doesn't
My Gimpy Life is an episodic comedy series created by and starring Teal Sherer, loosely based on her real life awkward adventures as a disabled actress in Hollywood. Sherer is best known for playing Venom on Felicia Day's web series The Guild. The show is written by Gabe Uhr.
What Works:
I've never seen a show with this concept. I've never heard these stories. And I want to. That's a great place to start. Sherer identified that she had a unique perspective and found a way to share her stories through a comedic lens. All that's awesome, as is the production value. Thanks to her friends in the web world and strong concept she was able to get funding up front to make it look great. That being said, only two of the five episodes from season one work from a story format standpoint and that's too bad since this show has so much going for it.
Here's one that works. See below for why.

Hey everyone,
The purpose of this post is to answer questions many of you have about our product. While I can't promise satisfactory answers 100% of the time (because there may not be a good answer), I will try my best to help.
Also, I will not be able to give you timelines for anything. We always have multiple projects going on, making deadlines a little complicated. As with any company, there is a lot of bureaucracy to wade through before making changes. Just be patient - if we say we're working on something, we definitely are. It just may not be in the time frame you were hoping for!

I retired from the Army of 21 years and I love to study and visit Civil / Revolutionary War Battlefields and visit the generals grave sites who served during those periods. Thanks to Find a Grave I am able to plan my trips accordingly. As the National Chaplain for the Disabled American Veterans 1.2 million member organization, I like helping those who cannot visit their family members in person by taking pictures for them in the area in which I live. I post veteran memorials on Find a Grave to pay tribute to their service, a way of honoring them for the sacrifice made to this country. If you have more information to post to a memorial I have created, send it to me and I'll add it or I'll transfer the memorial page. Photos taken by me for Find a Grave may be considered public domain and you are most welcome to use them.

Just Six Easy Steps and You Are Moving Out
Here's a quick look at the steps you'll take when selling a home with Edina Realty:
1. Contact your Edina Realty REALTOR® to list your home. He or she will be able to expertly assess its current value so your return will be optimized. Start now by filling out our short Competitive Market Analysis form online!
2. Fix and clean up those items or areas that need improvement to maximize your home's exterior curb appeal and interior charm. If you need professional assistance, check out Edina Realty Recommends.
3. Get your home warranty and inspection done up front. When your home sells, it's likely that the sale will be subject to an inspection. By providing an initial inspection and warranty with Edina Realty's Warranty program, the buyer can feel confident and worry-free about buying your home-and you selling it.
4. You and your REALTOR® will work together to consider - and then negotiate with potential buyers - purchase offers on your home. Once an offer is accepted, you will both work with the buyer's agent to schedule a closing date and time.
5. Notify your phone company, utilities (don't forget water and sewer), moving company, post office, newspaper and magazines, friends and family (see our Moving Checklist).
6. Pack and move!

Back in 1994, L. Robert Kimball, who passed away Friday at the age of 89, had an idea to turn a gravel parking lot into a park in the center of his hometown of Ebensburg.
"That, to me, was the start of the entire renaissance of our downtown," said friend Eric Rummel, 60, an Ebensburg native and resident who, as a Vice President of First National Bank worked with Kimball on a myriad of civic and business projects over the years. "He did more for this community than most people realize," Rummel added, noting that Kimball did what was best for the town and not what was best for himself.
When Rummel managed what was then Laurel Bank in Ebensburg, Kimball sat on the bank's board and was always someone he could turn to for advice and guidance.
"He was the best coach and mentor you could ever want," Rummel said. "He always made time. He was always available."
It was 60 years ago this year that L. Robert Kimball opened his surveying and engineering firm, L. Kimball & Associates, in his hometown of Ebensburg. Despite growing his business to include hundreds of employees and more than a dozen offices in five states, he kept the company's headquarters in Ebensburg and worked all his life to make his hometown a better place, according to friends and community leaders.
"We rented the second floor to him when he opened his business," said Ebensburg native, attorney Freemont McKenrick, 89. McKenrick remembered Kimball as quite an athlete in his youth and the two earned their Eagle Scout honors in the same Boy Scout Troop. McKenrick pointed out how his friend was a highly decorated fighter pilot in World War II, serving with the Army Air Force.
McKenrick recalled one innovation Kimball brought to his work, the use of airplanes to take photographs to create tax maps that became part of the Cambria County tax registry.
Above all, Kimball was a friendly, charitable man who loved his community and gave his time, money and resources to help whenever and wherever he could, whether it be the Historical Society or the Ebensburg airport.
"He'll be sadly missed," McKenrick said. "He was a very good friend and I appreciated everything from him and his work in the community."
Ebensburg Mayor Randy Datsko said Kimball was "a very humble, very approachable" man who made a tremendously positive impact on Ebensburg.
"Mr. Kimball had a vision for the downtown," Datsko said, noting Kimball was instrumental in not only contructing what is now called Kimball Park at Center and High streets but also the landscape of the downtown, from the street lights to the renovation of buildings.
Borough Manager Dan Penatzer recalled Kimball as someone who was always involved and actively worked to improve Ebensburg. Penatzer said that kimball could have moved his business out of the town as it grew larger but he always stayed true to his hometown.
He said Kimball was always pleasant, always had sound advice and was always looking for a project to take on.
"He just commanded so much respect from everyone," Penatzer said.

If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

The NHL is not a joke for having people who dive, that's correct, but it was not my assertion that the league is a joke just because people dive. They are joke because of how they handle diving.
How does Soccer, Baseball, or the NBA handle diving?
It's honestly not something that only has to do with the NHL. Due to the gray area with "intent", most leagues don't lay the hammer down on dives and embellishments.

Commando, not everyone gets a mass transit stipend for using the train. I am advocating the use of mass transit subsidies, not because anyone is affluent or not, but because it's the better choice for commuting to supported areas.
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Doesn't anyone know that the train commuters to DC receive a tax free cash subsidy, up to 225.00 or more, each month? Why not shift that subsidy to MARC, directly?
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Reasonable & BornandRaised:
Even if the fuel is subsidized, your point still has two problems.
1. I (and I assume Tread) aren't asking our legislators to do that or add more (as these commuters are doing). In fact, I would love to see them repeal fuel company subsidies.
2. These train commuters now have 2 subsidies for their chosen lifestyle. The first subsidy for the fuel that they use to drive their cars. And a second subsidy for their choice to take a train to their chosen job in DC.
Now, is that what our society should be encouraging? Is that your point--that the affluent should use the force of government to subsidize their chosen lifestyle and make everyone pay for it (even those who are less affluent)?

SB 596 sounds like a step in the right direction to modernise our local sewage treatment plants so they don't dischare as much phosporus and nitrogen into the river. I am a little unclear what the bill will actullly do to help pay for these upgrades. I was just thinking that If all of us that are connected to these systems used more enviornmentaly friendly house hold products we might be able to for stall those costly up grades to our sewage treatment plants. That could be a way each citizen could become involved and take some responcibility their infrestructure, and save the tax payers of the State some money. As far as the MARC train is concerned, I wish they would run one train on the weekend so I could take my family to DC to see the museums.

I think this statement by Tomblin is telling... What happened to the money when it was in the budget, if the "sky didn't fall" after it was removed? And, why waste the taxpayer's money, by adding it back in?
Perhaps so Senator Snyder can subsidize his son's travel expenses (who chose to work in DC) each day?
"Tomblin said he could remember when he was chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, there was a budget line item for the commuter rail service.
"I think we'd put about $100,000 in that line every year," he said.
Now, neither the state nor any of the local governments contribute financially to the operation of the MARC Brunswick Line in Berkeley and Jefferson counties."

Group worried about the impact of drilling on Beaver Creek
February 17, 2013
LISBON — A local group opposed to surface drilling in Beaver Creek State Park is turning its attention to drilling companies that may want to withdraw water from the Little Beaver Creek....
Maybe they can*****more of that mirex out. If this group cared about life in the streams they would have been raising money to clean it out for the last decade.

If the water is that low the pump loses it's prime and causes wear to the pump. Try again.

Last year they were pumping out of the LBC area by Y Camp road, I saw the pump myself. We camp at the VFW camp and I have never, never seen the water so low, it was barely moving, and becoming stagnant in areas. There should be a point where they should not be allowed to pump, when the stream stops flowwing time to give it a break.

I've seen them pumping out in the Dungannon area. They don't block the stream and leave a good percentage of water going down stream. They slowly collect the water until they have enough. Has PA complained about dried up streams and dead fish from lack of water? No, this is just another angle that the anti's use to attack the process. As with all the othr made up bs, we live this thing called fracking and the scare tactics have already fallen apart. Move on and scare uninformed people somewhere else. We are onto your game.

Ever since the game against Canada I've had no respect for Nabokov. Heatley is just a moron. I mean, they're not the Ducks of the past or the Pens with Cooke and company but there are definitely more teams that I'd like to see win besides the Sharks.

I've really been disgusted with the Sharks diving and the no diving calls yet by the refs! It's funny how European's are thought of as divers, and the Sharks are the team in this series with more Canadians.
I'm starting to see a trend in hockey the last few years where the Canadian born hockey players seem to have the least amount of class compared to players born in other countries.
Maybe it's because I'm a Red Wings fan, I don't know, but it seems like Canadians now are the first to whine and complain to the refs, deliver cheap shots and hits from behind, dive, and lose their temper the fastest. The Europeans now seem to be more cool headed under pressure, don't whine as much, don't cheap shot as much, and don't tend to dive as much. They seem to be a more classier bunch.
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but if you read my posts around the Olympics, you saw how unimpressed I was with the Canadian Olympic team and I'm Canadian! I saw most of those guys as hot heads, whiners, and cheap shot artists.

From Cornell University Medical College, New York, NY. Drs Klerman and Perry are deceased.
This randomized clinical trial compared 16-week interventions with interpersonal psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, supportive psychotherapy, and supportive psychotherapy with imipramine for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients with depressive symptoms.
Subjects (N=101; 85 male, 16 female) with known HIV seropositivity for at least 6 months were randomized to 16 weeks of treatment. Inclusion criteria were 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale score of 15 or higher, clinical judgment of depression, and physical health sufficient to attend outpatient sessions. Therapists were trained in manualized therapies specific for HIV-positive patients. Treatment adherence was monitored.
Subjects randomized to interpersonal psychotherapy (n=24) and supportive psychotherapy with imipramine (n=26) had significantly greater improvement on depressive measures than those receiving supportive psychotherapy (n=24) or cognitive behavioral therapy (n=27). Similar results appeared in the completer subsample.
Depressive symptoms appear treatable in HIV-positive patients. Interpersonal psychotherapy may have particular advantages as a psychotherapy for patients who have experienced the significant life events of HIV infection.
IN 1988 the late Samuel Perry, MD, inaugurated a 4-cell treatment study for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients with depressive symptoms, modeled on the National Institute of Mental Health Treatment of Depression Collaborative Research Program (TDCRP) for medically healthy patients.1 Although depression prevalence among HIV-positive individuals was known to be elevated and response of HIV-positive patients to antidepressant medication was being established,2 little was known about the efficacy of psychotherapy for this population.3 Perry decided to compare interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT),4 cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT),5 supportive psychotherapy (SP), and supportive psychotherapy with imipramine (SWI). When the study began, HIV infection appeared more acutely fatal than it does today. Clinicians wondered whether antidepressant psychotherapies would help patients with seeming "reasons to be depressed."
Our study design diverged from the TDCRP in offering SP rather than pill placebo plus clinical management as its presumed least active treatment. Supportive psychotherapy was included to control for nonspecific effects of psychotherapy, and SWI as standard antidepressant medication treatment. We have reported preliminary data finding IPT (n=16) more efficacious than SP (n=16); however, symptoms diminished in both groups of patients.3 No other published trials have examined psychotherapy for HIV patients with depressive symptoms.
We hypothesized that focal antidepressant psychotherapies (IPT and CBT) would rival pharmacotherapeutic efficacy, and might perhaps be better accepted by HIV-positive patients who already took many pills and might not want or be able to tolerate additional medication. Supportive psychotherapy was designed to approximate a control condition, yet not be a minimal or empty treatment.3
Subjects were recruited through advertisement and referral. Advertisements offered HIV-positive individuals free treatment for depression. Inclusion criteria required known HIV-positive status of 6 months or more, a score of 15 or higher on the 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (Ham-D),6 and clinical judgment of significant depressive symptoms. Physical health had to permit outpatient treatment. Most subjects at entry fit Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stages II to III for HIV infection7 (relatively medically asymptomatic). Over time, however, increasingly seriously ill subjects were accepted. Exclusion criteria were significant non-HIV medical disease, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, contraindication to imipramine, current substance abuse, significant cognitive impairment (Mini-Mental State Examination8 score <25), inability to speak English, and concurrent psychiatric treatment aside from HIV self-help or support groups.
Four IPT (2 psychiatrists, 2 social workers), 3 CBT (all PhD psychologists), 9 SP (2 psychiatrists, 4 social workers, 3 registered nurses), and 6 SWI (3 psychiatrists, 3 registered nurses) therapists each treated between 1 and 15 cases (mean ± SD, 5.6 ± 4.1). Experts in each modality trained therapists during a year-long phase, certifying them after at least 3 pilot cases. To avoid drift, therapists used treatment manuals and were monitored throughout with individual supervision of audiotaped sessions and blinded ratings of random sessions by independent, reliable adherence monitors.
Separate manuals, treatment teams, and team leaders encouraged uniform treatment and therapist morale.
Interpersonal psychotherapy helps patients relate changes in mood to events in their environment and consequent changes in social roles.4 Depression is defined as a medical illness. The therapist gives the patient a depressive diagnosis and the sick role, engages the patient on affectively laden current life issues, and frames the patient's difficulties within an interpersonal problem area: grief, role dispute, role transition, or interpersonal deficits. Strategies address these problem areas, focusing in the present on what the patient wants and what options exist to achieve this. The manual9 modified IPT to particular psychosocial concerns of depressed HIV-positive patients. Therapists told patients they had 2 medical illnesses: depression and HIV.
Cognitive behavioral therapy5 is another antidepressant treatment validated by numerous controlled trials. Cognitive behavioral therapists help patients identify irrational, negative thoughts associated with depression. Patients learn to record and examine these thoughts, weigh their evidence, and challenge rather than believing and acting on them. The therapist helps the patient test hypotheses based on negative cognitions with the aim of disproving them. Techniques include cognitive restructuring and refocusing and formal homework.
Defined in its manual as non-IPT and non-CBT, SP resembled the client-centered therapy of Rogers10 with added psychoeducation about depression and HIV. Supportive psychotherapy was inherently less structured than IPT or CBT, and unlike them did not offer patients a framework for therapy or focus on specific themes. Although possibly hampered by the proscription of interpersonal and cognitive techniques, SP was by no means nontreatment. Supportive therapists were empathic, skillful, and experienced.
The SWI cell added imipramine and a biochemical rationale11 to SP. Imipramine therapy was begun at 50 mg/d and increased as tolerated to 300 mg/d for 3 to 4 weeks unless limited by adverse effects.
Sixteen 50-minute IPT or CBT sessions were scheduled within a 17-week period. Both SP and SWI conditions ranged between 8 and 16 sessions, determined by patient need, of 30 to 50 minutes' duration. All sessions were audiotaped or videotaped.
Subjects were assessed on study entry using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R, nonpatient version (SCID-NP12), the Personality Disorder Examination (PDE13), and demographic questionnaires. Outcome assessments were the 24-item Ham-D and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI14), to measure depressive symptomatology; CD4 cell count; and the clinician-administered, 100-point Karnofsky scale15 to assess physical functioning. Medication adverse effects were assessed by rater checklist. For comparison with other studies, we calculated Ham-D 17-item scores.
Raters monitored therapist adherence using a 104-item version, modified for SP, of the 96-item Collaborative Study Psychotherapy Rating Scale (CSPRS16) developed for the TDCRP. This scale differentiated the 4 therapies. Raters were 4 predoctoral psychology graduate students who developed reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient range, 0.26-0.90, generally 0.62-0.90) after approximately 40 hours of training. Training was conducted by J.C.M. and later by initial trainees and included rating and discussing up to 16 randomly chosen pilot tapes covering all interventions. Raters met for ongoing supervision to review tapes and prevent drift. All therapist-patient dyads were rated as adherent to treatment protocols based on CSPRS ratings of 2 randomly chosen tapes, 1 early (sessions 3-6) and 1 late session (9-12).17
Following telephone screening, subjects met with psychiatric nurses, who completed the Ham-D. Eligible subjects gave informed written consent for participation. Subjects were retested for HIV and discussed test results before treatment began. At intake interviewers administered clinical ratings, the SCID-NP, and the PDE. Subjects were randomly assigned to treatment in a balanced design using a computer-generated random number sequence sealed in individual envelopes.
Subjects completed BDIs before each session. At baseline, midpoint (week 8), and just before termination (week 15), independent raters repeated the Ham-D and Karnofsky scales. Therapists also rated the Ham-D at alternate sessions.
Outcomes were compared across the 4 treatments for intent-to-treat (N=101) and completer (n=69) samples. Intent-to-treat analyses compare the outcomes of all study entrants, including subjects who refused randomization (n=4) or received minimal treatment (≥1 but <4 sessions, n=15). Completer analyses test treatment efficacy only in the subsamples receiving full treatment dosage, and hence are less generalizable to treatment at large.
Demographic and diagnostic variables were compared using χ2 and t tests for discrete and continuous variables, respectively, with 2-tailed α=.05. Outcome was assessed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) for Ham-D and BDI, controlling for initial scores, and by repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). Clinician-rated Ham-D scores were used for the last observation in the intent-to-treat sample. Remission rates were analyzed using χ2 tests.
One hundred one subjects were randomized to treatment (IPT=24, CBT=27, SP=24, SWI=26). Table 1 illustrates no significant demographic differences across groups at baseline. Subjects were predominantly male (85%), gay or bisexual (80%), and white (58%). Mean ± SD age was 36.9 ± 6.9 years (range, 24-59 years). Eighty-three percent reported some college education. Eighty-four percent had known their HIV-positive status for 1 year or more; 71% for more than 2 years (n=9).
Most subjects were not severely medically ill at study entry. The sample shifted over time, reflecting the HIV epidemic, to greater proportions of heterosexual, ethnic minority, and medically sicker subjects. Baseline mean Karnofsky score was 80 ± 6.5; CD4 cell count, 280 ± 222 (n=99).
Although all subjects were judged to have clinically significant depressive symptoms, only 53% met DSM-III-R criteria for a current mood disorder (Table 1). Most subjects met lifetime mood disorder criteria. About half of the subjects met criteria for an Axis II disorder and for lifetime substance abuse history. Comorbidity did not statistically differ across treatments.
Interpersonal psychotherapy and CBT subjects attended nonsignificantly more sessions than SP or SWI subjects (IPT, 11.5 ± 5.7; CBT, 11.5 ± 6.5; SP, 9.0 ± 5.3; SWI, 9.9 ± 5.0). Subjects randomized to the SWI group (n=26) received a mean imipramine dosage of 210 ± 66 mg/d (n=23; range, 50-300 mg/d), with a mean imipramine/desipramine blood level of 177 ± 76 mg/dL (n=18; range, 54-339 mg/dL).
Subjects in the intent-to-treat samples did not differ across cells at baseline in depressive severity on the Ham-D or BDI. Scores on the Ham-D decreased significantly for all treatments by midpoint and at termination. The BDI scores fell significantly for IPT and SWI by midpoint, and for all cells by termination.
Across treatment groups, findings converged both for Ham-D and BDI, and for intent-to-treat and completer analyses. Table 2 and Table 3 and Figure 1 demonstrate a bifurcation in treatment outcomes. The IPT and SWI groups clustered with similarly low outcome scores; CBT and SP also moved together but showed less improvement. The intent-to-treat ANCOVA showed a main effect on Ham-D (ANCOVA F3,96=2.67; P=.05; n=101): IPT and SWI were each superior to CBT, with SP a distant but not statistically different third. On the BDI, SWI was superior to CBT and SP by ANCOVA, and IPT was superior to SP (ANCOVA F3,95=4.26; P=.007; n=100). Repeated-measures ANOVA found main effects for intervention and time, but no significant intervention by time interaction.
Outcome: Beck Depression Inventory. For interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), n=24; for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), n=27; for supportive psychotherapy (SP), n=23; and for supportive psychotherapy with imipramine (SWI), n=26. Analysis of covariance F3,95=4.26; P=.007; IPT>SP; SWI>CBT and SP.
Among completers (Table 2; n=69), IPT was superior to both CBT and SP on Ham-D (ANCOVA F3,64=3.22; P<.03); SWI did not differ from other treatments. On BDI (Table 3), IPT was superior to CBT and SP, while SWI was superior to SP alone (ANCOVA F3,64=5.01; P=.003). In no analyses did IPT differ from SWI, or CBT from SP.
To ascertain whether medical status influenced antidepressant outcome, we repeated analyses using as covariates intake Karnofsky score and CD4 cell count in addition to initial Ham-D or BDI score. Findings were unchanged except among completers, where one additional difference emerged. In this analysis alone, intake CD4 cell counts (t=−2.1, P<.04) and Karnofsky severity (t=−2.2, P<.04) were associated with endpoint BDI score, and the post hoc Tukey least significant difference test showed a trend for CBT to outperform SP (P=.06). Analyses of the 17-item Ham-D using ANCOVA failed to show statistically significant differences for the intent-to-treat sample. Differences persisted for the completer subsample (F3,64=3.70; P=.02; n=69).
Remission from depression was assessed using the strict TDCRP criterion of 17-item Ham-D score of 6 or greater. Groups did not significantly differ, although remission rates followed already described trends: IPT, 46%; CBT, 30%; SP, 21%; and SWI, 50% in the intent-to-treat sample; and 59%, 35%, 30%, and 56%, respectively, among the completer sample. Remission rates using the 24-item Ham-D at a threshold score of 8 or greater were similar: IPT, 46%; CBT, 30%; SP, 17%; and SWI, 42% for the intent-to-treat sample; and 59%, 41%,24%, and 50%, respectively, for the completer sample.
Karnofsky scores rose with mood improvement (baseline, 80 ± 6.5; termination, 86 ± 8.3), as might be expected with alleviation of depression3 (Table 4). Whereas Karnofsky scores did not differ at baseline, the IPT and SWI groups had higher termination scores than the CBT and SP groups (ANCOVA F3,62=4.60; P=.006). The CD4 cell count did not change significantly by group over time.
Neither Axis I diagnosis nor Axis II personality clusters mediated outcome by intervention. Presence of personality disorder was nonsignificantly associated with elevated depressive severity (Cluster A: 5 points on the Ham-D and BDI; Cluster B: 0 points on the Ham-D, 1 point on the BDI; Cluster C: 3 points on the Ham-D, 1 point on the BDI). Initial Karnofsky score correlated with the final Ham-D (r=−.27, P=.009, n=94) and BDI (r=−.25, P=.02, n=95) scores, suggesting patients with greater physical dysfunction responded best; CD4 cell count was not significantly correlated. Medication adverse effects at midtreatment, whether measured by severity or total number, were not significantly correlated with outcome. Therapist experience and professional training also did not affect outcome.
This first study of individual antidepressant psychotherapy for HIV-positive patients reveals that they, like other medically ill patients with depressive symptoms,2,18 warrant and respond to specific antidepressant treatments. Depressive symptoms diminished across treatments. High prevalences of Axis II disorders and lifetime substance abuse did not preclude successful treatment of mood symptoms. Depressive symptoms should never be viewed as normal, even when HIV is involved: they deserve vigorous treatment. The improvement in Karnofsky functional scores, particularly in treatments of greatest antidepressant potency, suggests that patients had previously attributed to HIV symptoms for which depression was culpable.
Treatment with IPT and SWI yielded the best outcomes, while CBT and SP fared less well. Statistical significance of outcome analyses varied by treatment sample and assessment instrument considered, but results clearly converged. The differential treatment effects invite comparison with the TDCRP, in which post hoc analyses found imipramine and IPT each superior to placebo and clinical management among more severely depressed patients. The TDCRP remission rates (IPT, 43%; CBT, 36%; placebo and case management, 21%; and imipramine and case management, 42%; n=239)1 closely resembled ours. Psychotherapy adherence findings were also similar, and the 32% attrition rate was identical.17 The TDCRP post hoc analysis of more severe (17-item Ham-D score ≥20)1 vs milder depression was not undertaken because only 10% of subjects met the severity criterion.
This study, which is only the second direct comparison of IPT and CBT as antidepressant treatments, revealed differences favoring IPT in some analyses. Research finding differences between active psychotherapies has been rare indeed. Possible explanations for this include the quality of therapy and differences in specificity for the target disorder. Therapists across treatments were uniformly well-trained, empathic, technically adherent, and esteemed by their patients.
Interpersonal psychotherapy may have particular advantages over CBT for HIV-positive patients with depressive symptoms. Interpersonal psychotherapy connects life events to mood episodes (1) to help patients mourn life upheavals while (2) pragmatically and optimistically encouraging them to find new life goals and adjustments. Both halves of this formula seemed important to patients. Having suffered a surfeit of HIV-related life events—multiple bereavements, role disputes, and role transitions—they responded to IPT therapists' supportive encouragement to "live out your fantasies": to change their lives and seek whatever they desired for however much time remained to them. This seemed a tailored fit of therapy and patient. By contrast, CBT addresses patients' exaggeration of hopeless thoughts, a relatively disadvantageous stance in treating patients with objectively negative life events. Even with optimistic cognitive restructuring and refocusing, CBT may fit HIV patients' situations less well. We speculate that IPT may be indicated for depressive patients who have experienced recent distressing life events and are likely to experience more in the future. Patients who report few life events (the IPT "interpersonal deficits" category) may be better CBT candidates.19 Despite (nonsignificantly) fewer sessions, SP equaled CBT in efficacy, suggesting no advantage for CBT beyond so-called "nonspecific" psychotherapy effects. The efficacy of pharmacotherapy was again validated.2
This study has numerous limitations. Relative to the TDCRP, sample size was small and depression scores were lower, reducing statistical power to find treatment differences (particularly on the 17-item Ham-D). Forty-seven percent of subjects lacked current SCID mood disorders, although all were deemed clinically depressed by supervising psychiatrists. Most subjects had lifetime mood disorder histories, and many barely missed the SCID threshold for a current episode. The criterion of clinical impression of depression rather than SCID imitates clinical practice and may widen the generalizability of these findings.
Another design limitation, potentially less treatment exposure for SP, could have handicapped SP outcome. Finally, subjects were overwhelmingly male. Treatment of depressed HIV-positive women, who face different psychosocial and socioeconomic pressures than men, remains relatively unexplored.20
Psychotherapy of HIV-positive patients deserves greater attention than it has received. Interpersonal psychotherapy may be a particularly beneficial psychotherapy for HIV patients with depressive symptoms. Yet, as the sole study of its kind, our results require replication. Future reports will examine whether psychotherapy yielded benefits to offset its greater costs in time and therapist effort relative to pharmacotherapy.

Based on the children's book series by Susan Meddaugh and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, the series stars Martha, a beloved family dog. She is accidentally fed alphabet soup, which gives her the power of speech and the chance to speak her mind to anyone who will listen.
With two stories in each episode, kids will get to know Martha as an outspoken, honest, smart, confident dog who loves to eat (and talk!). They will also meet the rest of Martha's family and friends. Ten-year-old Helen is Martha's best friend. Martha encourages the shy, artistic Helen to be more outgoing and brave. Helen acts as the voice of reason for Martha. It's a relationship any dog, or pet-lover, can appreciate.
The goal of Martha Speaks is to increase kids' oral vocabulary by helping them understand what words mean when they hear them. The show is designed to teach up to 20 words in each show. And how better to get kids excited about learning and trying out new words than with a talking dog, who just can't stop talking?!

MARC ridership is more than 600 daily
April 18, 2013
I have followed your reporting regarding SB 103, the West Virginia Commuter Rail Access Act and I would like to compliment you on the frequency of your coverage....
Does this ridership number include West Virginians who travel to Brunswick to get the train? If not, the West Virginia ridership is far higher than reported.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Who cares how many people ride this train. It is a disgrace that the government is subsidizining anything using my tax dollars. You note that the ones wanted subsidized never donate or give back to our community. A bunch of left wing loones with their hands out for a donation. Do you want to subsidize the food service on the train too so you can eat free on the taxpayer on your way to work?

"The state needs to make commuting a more attractive option and work with the railroad to do so." Isn't this welfare? This is more of the cut government but don't cut my government. Wouldn't local jobs that pay a living wage be a better idea? Why do you want this area to become a bedroom community?

... the jobs will never return. Our tradition is farming, and coal mines. Not much of a manufacturing base locates here due to a percieved lack of available labor talent. So the only way for our community to survive is to become a bedroom to DC or Baltimore. Once we wake up to that fact, our local economy can flourish with the service industries needed to support neighborhoods.. otherwise we will die on the vine

I bought a house here specifically because it was at the end of the line. The cost of living was a little less than what I experienced in suburban MD, and I KNOW the value will increase with time as the sprawl will eventually reach us... not now in the next 5 years but most likely within the next 20. We can hasten the increase in value of our individual property with commuter enhancements. It will happen. The only question is do we want it to take 20 years or maybe only 15? DC is growing and VA/MD is already saturated for the most part... We are already seeing Baltimore commuters living in the area. What about them? They have ZERO options at the moment. Our State and community need to look forward to keep residents here
5 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
the goal has to be to get people out of their cars and use "energy" collectively and more efficiently so perhaps we can have cleaner air to breathe (oops.. forgot this is coal country - acid rain rules here) and less of a carbon footprint by all involved... the reductions in service also serve the railroad and not the folks who use the service and in some respects is a deterrent to others thinking of MARC as a travel option to take a better paying job in the DC area (md,va). - People complain about what they don't experience all the time. I guarantee none of the detractors have ever made that 2.5hr trip even in one direction - let alone twice a day, every working day, year in and year out. They are jealous of something they see as a luxury instead of a necessity... they should be marginalized as their small minds already are... looking to the future of our community the only way to grow it is via stronger commuter rail options...
6 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The number is probably accurate since MARC counts passengers just about every day (especially during audits) and is really just an average. Don't get me wrong; I support the legislation and was a commuter once for 4 years and another stint at a year and a half. Regardless of the level of ridership the state needs to gain a seat at the table and perhaps back-room deals such as the one that imposed the "surcharge" on fares to WV - really just an astronomical fare hike- to "offset" the cost of running a train from Brunswick to Martinsburg could have been avoided. It was a 20% hike on every ticket. The state needs to make commuting a more attractive option and work with the railroad to do so. When the cost of a commuter ticket is no longer less expensive than the gas and cost to park - people will drive

Mr. Schein:
Even if it is a whopping 600 from the combined populations of Jefferson and Berkeley counties, then that is only .3% of the citizens.
Once again, proving that with the BULLY FORCE of government we all pay for a very few politically connected citizens who already have the means to provide for their own life choices...

Can cancer be prevented?
Most experts are convinced that many cancers can either be prevented or the risk of developing cancers can be markedly reduced. Some of the methods are simple; others are relatively extreme, depending on an individual's view.
Prevention of cancer, by avoiding its potential causes, is the simplest method. First on most clinicians and researchers list is to stop (or better, never start) smoking tobacco. Avoiding excess sunlight (by decreasing exposure or applying sunscreen) and many of the chemicals and toxins is an excellent way to avoid cancers. Avoiding contact with certain viruses and other pathogens also is likely to prevent some cancers. People who have to work close to cancer-causing agents (chemical workers, X-ray technicians, ionizing radiation researchers) should follow all safety precautions and minimize any exposure to such compounds.
There are two vaccines currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to prevent specific types of cancer. Vaccines against the hepatitis B virus, which is considered a cause of some liver cancers, and vaccines against human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 are available. According to the NCI, these viruses are responsible for about 70% of cervical cancers. These virus also plays a role in cancers arising in the head and neck, as well as cancers in the anal region, and probably in others. Today, vaccination against HPV is recommended in teenagers and young adults of both sexes. The HPV virus is so common that by the age of 50, half or more people have evidence of being exposed to it. Sipuleucel-T is a new vaccine approved by the FDA to help treat advanced prostate cancer. Although vaccine does not cure prostate cancer, it has been shown to help extend the lifespan of individuals with advanced prostate cancer.
People with a genetic predisposition to develop certain cancers and others with a history of cancers in their genetically linked relatives currently cannot change their genetic makeup. However, some individuals who have a high possibility of developing genetically linked cancer have taken actions to prevent cancer development. For example, some young women who have had many family members develop breast cancer have elected to have their breast tissue removed even if they have no symptoms or signs of cancer development to reduce or eliminate the possibility they will develop breast cancer. Some doctors consider this as an extreme measure to prevent cancer while others do not.
Screening tests and studies for cancer are meant to help detect a cancer at an early stage when the cancer is more likely to be potentially cured with treatment. Such screening studies are breast exams, testicular exams, colon-rectal exams (colonoscopy), mammography, certain blood tests, prostate exams, urine tests and others. People who have any suspicion that they may have cancer should discuss their concerns with their doctor as soon as possible. Screening recommendations have been the subject of numerous conflicting reports in recent years. Screening may not be cost effective for many groups of patients or lead to unnecessary further invasive tests, but individual patients' unique circumstances should always be considered by doctors in making recommendations about ordering or not ordering screening tests.

Pope Benedict and Anglicans - Printable Version

Pope Benedict and Anglicans - Severus - 20-10-2009
The news that Pope Benedict has made special provision for Anglicans seeking union with Rome is worth examining in full:
http://www.forwardinfaith.com/artman/pu ... _494.shtml
as is the joint statement by the Archbishops of Westminster and Canterbury:
http://184.108.40.206/news_services/bulle ... 13&lang=ge
Commenting on the issue to a private correspondent, Abba Seraphim today observed:
I should imagine that Forward in Faith and other kindred bodies will have no reason to delay further any move and that we should see a mass exodus of Anglo-Catholics to Rome once the Ordinariates (what a horrid word !) are established. It is effectively a form of corporate reunion as espoused by de Lisle and Lee and other 19th century Anglicans, so it is quite a historic achievement, which owes much to the present Pope. Presumably there will be mass conditional ordinations and one wonders how they will provide for elderly priests with no active ministry. As this clearly has the full support of Pope Benedict - whose several actions to date have been those of a healer and reconciler - there are signs that they will be charitable.
One hopes that personal and practical considerations among Anglican clergy will not overrule issues of principle and conscience, so that those who fear to lose their Anglican stipends, or bishops who are married, will be willing to make personal sacrifices ! My view has always been that once women were ordained as deacons (and later as priests) there was a departure from the historic Christian ministry, which was the time for those supporting the apostolic tradition to leave the Anglican communion. I have always felt that those who have remained have allowed themselves to be compromised. Let's hope this opportunity marks a clearer division. However, this provision will not satisfy the anti-Catholic evangelicals so it will not bring peace to the Anglican communion. I fear that one of the negative results will be an Anglicanism markedly more Protestant or Liberal with a bitter struggle between those two factions.
Whether this will prove beneficial to the Roman Church is another issue. I
do not doubt that there are many devout and sound clergy and laity who will use their Christian commitment and faith to good effect, but there is a type of Anglican mindset which is subversive and divisive and one hopes that it will not surface and prove destructive.
It will be challenging time on all sides and I pray that Pope Benedict will
be granted length of years and good health to see this reunion firmly
Church Unity - John Francis - 22-10-2009
Thank you for the links.
I can see a source of potential conflict between the married Anglican and the Celebate Catholic priest-Celibacy as an optional extra-this could weaken the RC celibate priesthood.
The Orthodox church appears to have a sensible solution -OrdinaryPriest(not meant in a derogatory sense)having the choice to be married or not Bishops being celibate-I hope my understanding is correct.
What about the Orthodox possibility of union?I believe that was recently expressed as a distinct possibility by the Russian Orthodox Church.
In God's Love
John Francis

A shooting in Ladson involving a Summerville man is being investigated by SLED.
According to the Berkeley County Sheriffs Office release, a deputy pulled over a 2014 Ford Fusion just after 9:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 8, on College Park Road in Ladson.
According to a BCSO release, at the time of the stop a shooting occurred inside the stopped vehicle. The deputy was not involved in the shooting incident.
A 21-year-old female was wounded and transported to a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries, and was treated and released. The passenger, Jemane Antone Sanders, 27, of Brookstone Way in Summerville, was arrested on an outstanding General Session Bench warrant, the BCSO reported.
This agency requested the assistance of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division to investigate the shooting incident.
According to the BCSO release, it is standard procedure for this request because a deputy of the Berkeley County Sheriffs Office made a traffic stop when the shooting occurred.

eService accelerator allows developers to easily create self-service customer portals built on top of ASP.NET. This accelerator utilizes an ASP.NET starter kit and several components of the ASP.NET framework including the membership provider for authentication. The out of the box functionality of eService includes the ability for customers to create cases, schedule and manage service appointments, search through KB articles, etc all from within the website.
Don't be fooled by the name "eService", as underneath the covers, there is an ASP.NET control suite for CRM. Each of the ASP.NET form you saw in this video is a customizable ASP.NET user control and all of its properties and settings are derived from the CRM metadata. You can hook up these controls to any entity within the CRM system and configure them fairly easily.
I'm sure this accelerator will jump start CRM development for a lot of ASP.NET developers and vice versa.
Oops, something didn't work.
I think it is a great solution, with good added value for the CRM implemtations.
What abaout licensing? Do we need a special license for this accelerator? Like CRM connector?
Thank you,

Cobham will add 60 jobs at its Orchard Park facility in a consolidation that follows the decision by the international defense and aerospace contractor to close a manufacturing plant in St. Petersburg, Fla.
The British company plans to transfer 60 jobs to Cobham Life Support in Orchard Park, which now employs 280 workers, and another 60 jobs to a plant in Davenport, Iowa, by the end of this year, said Jan Robazza, a spokeswoman for the company, which also is known locally as Carleton Technologies.
The workers in St. Petersburg will be given the chance to transfer to New York or Iowa, but Cobham Orchard Park may end up hiring locally to fill some of the positions if not enough workers accept a transfer here.
Cobham officials said they are closing the St. Petersburg plant, which produces components for life-safety systems, in response to cutbacks in defense spending.
Just 120 of the Florida plant's 160 jobs will be relocated to the Orchard Park and Davenport facilities.
The Orchard Park plant designs and manufactures life-support systems used for space, military and commercial applications.
These products range from the oxygen pressure-regulator used by Mercury astronaut John Glenn to life-support components in the space shuttle program, the International Space Station and the pressure suit worn by Felix Baumgartner last fall when he made his historic sky dive from more than 24 miles above Earth.
Cobham has 10,000 employees worldwide and about 5,000 in the United States, Robazza said.
Managers at Cobham Orchard Park also oversee 38 employees who work at a satellite Cobham facility in Maryland.
