Flying the Coop: Giant Prophylactic Enshrouds Senator's Suburban Home; New Era of Inside/Outside Activism Is Born
"Putting TAG on the Map"
As part of our on-going anniversary year series of interviews and commissions by the organization's founding members, TAGline caught up with founding director, long-time administrator and high-risk brainstormer Peter Staley one bright summery April afternoon in Chelsea. Over the course of a couple of hours, Peter traced through his final embattled days with ACT UP/New York, the extraordinary early successes of the new breakaway group he would call TAG and what many now see as a watershed year for AIDS treatment activism.
TAGline: I thought it might be interesting to begin with the last days of ACT UP and the first days of TAG.
Staley: Yeah, sure. Not that many people know the "pre-history" of TAG, as I call it. During my final years in ACT UP, I was already suffering under the burden of the in-fighting and the personal attacks. There were a lot of us who were. I started looking for a way out.
I had been thinking about it for a long time and then in the summer of 1991, ACT UP had gotten very big on its affinity group structure so I thought maybe I could use that in a different way to set up a transitional process whereby we create an affinity group of ACT UP but also surreptitiously have an organizational structure -- and our own checking account -- which made it very different from other affinity groups which used the ACT UP bank account.
So I think it was July of '91 I filed a D.B.A. for Treatment Action Guerrillas. And then with that opened a checking account, created a board of directors with a simple organizational, what's it called? That says what your purpose is?
TAGline: Mission statement. You and who else?
Staley: I remember we were required to have at least three people on the board. So it may have just been Derek [Link] and Garance [Franke-Ruta] and myself. There might have been a third, whom I can't remember now. Derek Link at the time was living across the street from me on East 7th Street.
TAGline: Oh yeah, that's right.
Staley: I remember at his apartment one night we came up with the idea, came up with the name, and the logo. The logo was actually designed pretty early on that summer, because we used it for the Helms action.
TAGline: How much of this was a chicken and egg thing? How much of this was a spin off of you guys' already being together to do the Helms thing and how much of it was explicitly your getting together to plot your departure from ACT UP?
Staley: I was pretty explicit. From the get go I was telling people that I was setting this up to be independent of ACT UP and as a place for us to split off if we wanted. I started basically campaigning to put the idea out there, saying, "This is getting nuts with ACT UP. Let's split, and we can do this."
TAGline: And the Helms action was to be your first big signature action?
Staley: Yeah, it was a way to put the Guerrillas on the map and, yeah, starting to do things within a fairly new structure that I'd never really envisioned before. This was all planned in August of '91. At the time I was working with this guy from Greenpeace who was an expert on high end sophisticated civil disobedience techniques -- which we used at the Astra action. Hooking up underneath trucks with pipes, things like that.
TAGline: Like what you used at the Burroughs Wellcome action where you drilled through walls barricading yourselves into their offices and granting interviews with the media via cellular phones?
Staley: No, that was way before.
TAGline: But that was kind of sophisticated.
Staley: Yeah, but that we dreamed up on our own.
We started talking to the Greenpeace guy about other techniques. He actually came with me down to D.C. to scope out Helms' house after we got the address from public records. He had a place in Arlington [VA], a simple little colonial -- with a very steep roof! We took pictures of it. Based on an average door size, we were able to out-measure the entire house. And then we designed on our own how a condom would cover the house. We took those designs and faxed them out to about five companies that made custom made inflatables for used car lots and things like that. We got quotes ranging from $3,500 to $15,000. I took the $3,500 one, and they were able to do a very quick turnaround too. It was a company outside of Sacramento, California, I think. We told them it was for a backyard benefit at a house in Long Island -- so they wouldn't know that we were planning to break the law in an action against a U.S. senator.
TAGline: But where did the money come from? Your own contributions?
Staley: I've never told this to anyone before, but I guess it's okay to tell it now. David Geffen had heard about what we were planning, and that we didn't really have the money to pull it off. He came up to me one day on the beach at Fire Island with a big stack of bills. He stuffed the wad in my hand and said simply, "Go do it."
About a week later it was delivered and we went up to Marvin Shulman's house in New Paltz to practice suspending it. We painted a message on it, "Jesse Helms: Deadlier Than the Virus." We put together a group of seven of us: myself, Derek and Garance, Sean Strub, and three others. We rented a truck, portable generators, fans to blow the thing up. And a humongous ladder to get to the top of the roof.
Sean and I were the roof guys, which was a really dangerous job because Helms' roof was very skinny and steep along the very top. From there we would unroll the thing and throw down all the lines to anchor it.
TAGline: And how long did it take before the TV crews arrived?
Staley: About five minutes. The press had been called beforehand and they were arriving during the blow-up. There was great coverage. It ended up getting that end-of-the-news news slot. You know, the major networks always send out some funny little story to all the affiliates that they play for those ten seconds at the end of the local newscast? "This amazing story from suburban Virginia..." It aired on local channels all over the country!
The impact was such that Helms actually felt the need to comment on it on the Senate floor. Our whole goal was this vague notion that he had terrorized us for years and was our number one enemy -- but nobody had ever counter-attacked. He had gotten off Scot free from the AIDS community -- and he raved about it!
We hoped that he'd have a slight change of heart. And also maybe the Senators he worked with would have a laugh at his expense, which might marginally diminish his effectiveness on the Hill. It's not something you can measure in any rigorous way, but there were very few "Helms amendments" on AIDS after that -- and certainly far fewer that were passed. And now, of course, he's talking about wanting to do something about AIDS in Africa.
TAGline: Yeah, I read about that in the Salt Lake City paper in February.
Staley: Yeah, and it was a big story in the Charlotte Observer. They even mentioned the condom action. So, that was actually TAG's first great moment. It put us on the map.
TAGline: And after that was the Astra zap in Massachusetts?
Staley: Yeah, that action got a lot of press. It made 60 Minutes. The local police department up there threatened to sue 60 Minutes for having prior knowledge of our plans. So it got a lot of great press. But as we got pulled out from underneath those trucks a lot of us said that that was it for civil disobedience. It was kind of a psychological turning point. It was... you realized... for the media and, more importantly, for the public, we were becoming a broken record. That even if we broke through and got press -- which the Hoffmann-La Roche action did [later that same winter in Nutley, NJ] big time. They showed it live on the national morning news programs! -- the public would see the images and just say, "Oh, it's another AIDS demonstration." They wouldn't know the issue. They wouldn't stop to learn about the issue. They wouldn't stop and say, "Oh, my god..." We had really lost a lot of our uniqueness and the ability to get our message out -- and therefore we lost the ability to effect change.
At the same time, the "inside" work that T+D had gotten so good at -- and that TAG began to really pursue in earnest -- was becoming a well oiled machine. There was no door that was closed to us anymore. So we didn't have to demonstrate for that. We could get through any door, including Congress -- which was something ACT UP had largely ignored during its history. In ACT UP we never did anything on a Congressional level. All of a sudden we were hot on the Hill -- as TAG -- once we had shed the bad boy image.
TAGline: Was that because of the coincidence with a new administration?
Staley: Several things. Clinton coming into office, certainly. We also had some friends both on the Senate and House side: Kennedy's office and Waxman's office, who wanted to do something -- who had been doing something. TAG had the foresight to distribute its analysis of AIDS research at the NIH. The legislators read it and were very impressed. They thought, "We can use this in legislation that is coming up." The NIH was being reauthorized at that time, and so they basically copied verbatim our recommendations and set them into legislation to create a more powerful Office of AIDS Research. And so the battle was joined. NIH fought it. Fauci fought it hard.
TAGline: Against it.
Staley: Against it. Getting Republicans on his side -- who were in the minority at that time. And it passed: out of committees and onto the floors -- and Clinton signed it. It was incredible. The first year of a not-for-profit's life... to have a major legislative victory like that. Which was, by the way, done very much in conjunction with amfAR, PAF and AIDS Action Council. And that was another thing that showed TAG's [maturity] over ACT UP's: where ACT UP tended to act alone and do very little coalition building, we realized we didn't have much name recognition on the Hill, so we started meeting weekly and then every other week with GMHC, AIDS Action Council and amfAR. Meeting in amfAR's board room.
TAGline: "We" being?
Staley: Me, Mark Harrington, Gregg Gonsalves. Mathilde Krim. David Barr. Derek Hodel, who was head of AIDS Action at the time. So those were great times. Since then, we have had a lot of little victories, but nothing on the scale of those early days. Since then it's been more what I like to call "greasing the wheels of AIDS research," both public and private. We've done good greasing year after year. It is an important role -- and a unique one. No one else was doing it. And it is our forte.

Until one 31'st of October, he did disappear
Now every Halloween his pranks are something to truly fear

The Lipscomb Bisons are figuring out how to win games, but they still aren't the team coach Scott Sanderson wants them to be.
"Some day we are going to have to pay for our sins," Sanderson said. "We aren't a very good basketball team right now. We are figuring out how to win and how to play the last five minutes of a game."
That day wasn't Monday as the Bisons came back strong in the second half to take a 62-46 win over Winston-Salem State, a team making the transition from NCAA Division II to NCAA Division I at Allen Arena.
The Bisons set a new NCAA record on defense with the 46 points. The previous low was 48 points by Kennesaw State on Feb. 26, 2006 at Allen Arena.
The Bisons played much of the first half, and all of the second half, without the services of guard Brian Fisk who was hit in the head by an elbow from a Winston-Salem player. Fisk returned to the bench in his uniform but did not see anymore playing time following the injury.
In a first half where neither team could find the basket consistently the Bisons led by seven at 20-13. But Winston-Salem State managed to bounce back and went ahead 21-20 at halftime.
"For pretty much the last part of the first half we played with our three best players on the bench with me," Sanderson said. "Trey Williams, Brian and Eddie Ard were all over here with me. I don't need them over here with me. I need them out on the court producing on both ends of the floor."
In the second half the Bisons managed to get back under control. A 12-2 run gave them a 45-33 lead with 6:45 left to play.
Winston-Salem State went on a 10-2 run to cut the lead to six points at 49-43. The Bisons answered with a 9-0 run to 56-43 with 2:07 to play on back-to-back 3-pointers by LaKory Daniels.
Daniels finished with nine points, hitting three-of-five 3-point attempts.
"LaKory is a rhythm shooter," Sanderson said. "He made some big shots. I was glad to see those go down for him."
Ard led the Bisons in scoring with a game-high 19 points.
The Bisons shot 46 percent (23-of-50) from the field. They were only six-of-22 from the 3-point line, a 27.3 percent success rate after hitting only one-of-11 in the first half. They went to the free throw line 17 times, hitting 10.
"We didn't get good shots in the first half," Sanderson said. "At least in the second half we did a little bit better job moving a little bit better job screening."
Winston-Salem State placed three players in double figures. Jamal Durham led with 16 points followed by Brian Fisher with 15 and Darrell Wonge with 10. Wonge also got the double-double with a game-high 11 rebounds.
Winston-Salem shot 33.3 percent from the field, hitting 16-of-48 shots. They were six-of-16 from 3-point range for 37.5 percent. They hit eight-of-14 free throws.
"We have not done a very good job offensively at all," Sanderson said. "We are not flowing at all. I thought defensively we were pretty solid."
The Bisons are 4-2. Winston-Salem State fell to 1-8.
The Bisons open defense of their Atlantic Sun Conference regular season championship Thursday night at 8:15 at Allen Arena against Jacksonville as part of a double-header with the Lady Bisons.
The Bisons are taking Tuesday off and will prepare Wednesday for Jacksonville.
"We have to get better in a hurry," Sanderson said. "We are going to kind of get away from it Tuesday. We aren't going to watch film. We are going to get them away from us and let them heal up.
"In the league you have to win your games at home. Hopefully, we will be a little bit better Thursday night."

The 1979 South Point team had a play called �tight-end throwback� that it had been saving for just the right time.
The 1979 South Point team had a play called �tight-end throwback� that it had been saving for just the right time.
With its undefeated season in jeopardy in the first round of the playoffs, the Red Raiders found the right time.
Less than four minutes showed on the clock against Statesville when quarterback Jeff Williams sprinted to the right, drew the defense his direction, then threw across the field to a wide-open Tim Rector on the left side for a 41-yard scoring play and the Red Raiders� only touchdown of the night. Williams then ran in the two-point conversion to give South Point an 8-7 home win that proved to be its toughest game in the playoffs as the Red Raiders went on to win the state championship.
As South Point prepares to face Statesville for the third time in the playoffs Friday, Red Raider players, coaches and fans can�t help but think back to that memorable 1979 Friday night in Belmont.
�It�s just all a blur, but I remember trying to find the goal line and I was kind of stumbling a little bit,� Rector said of South Point�s only touchdown that night. �I distinctly remember thinking, �Is that the five or the goal line?��
Fortunately for South Point, Rector didn�t dive too soon. Rector, a senior tight end, initially blocked on the play, then released and found himself wide open.
�I think we ran that play once the entire season,� Williams recalled Thursday. �That�s all I can remember running it, and it worked like a charm.�
The scoring play came with 3:53 showing on the clock, but South Point still trailed 7-6. Even though the Red Raiders had a good kicker in Tim Parrish, they opted to go for the two-point conversion.
�We wanted to win,� head coach Jim Biggerstaff said. �We weren�t satisfied for a tie. We didn�t even hesitate about going for two. We felt like we could make it and we wanted to go on in the playoffs, so we took a chance.�
The gamble paid off as Williams faked the handoff to fullback Perry Fewell (now the defensive coordinator for the New York Giants) and took the option keeper to the left.
�They had eight people tackle Perry, and I walked into the end zone, so it worked pretty good,� Williams recalled. �I don�t even think I got touched.�
Moments later, Williams ended the game when he intercepted Statesville before the Greyhounds could reach midfield.
It didn�t look good for South Point most of the night. Statesville had led 7-0 almost the entire game after scoring on a 37-yard run in the first quarter. Williams, a senior two-way standout, said the Greyhounds might not have scored that touchdown had he tried to tackle the runner rather than trying to strip the ball.
�I remember thinking that it looked like we were going to lose,� Rector said. �The clock just started ticking and then it got down to about six or seven minutes and David McKinney blocked a punt and I thought, �Here we go.� We finally got our break and then we didn�t score.�
But South Point got another chance, and the fact that Williams made it happen surprised nobody.
�He had saved us the whole year, and we assumed he�d be able to pull something out of the hat,� said Rector, now a dentist in West Jefferson.
South Point didn�t have any more heartstoppers the rest of the way. The Red Raiders defeated Tuscola 29-7 in the next round, then held on for a 28-20 win against Hibriten before crushing Ahoskie 34-13 in the 3A state championship game.
South Point finished 14-0 that season after claiming its second state championship and as a N.C. High School Athletic Association member. The Red Raiders had previously shared the Western North Carolina High School Activities Association title in 1971.
The Red Raiders would rather forget the school�s other meeting with Statesville. In 1984, South Point traveled to Statesville in the first round of the playoffs and saw its 10-0 record come to an end with a 27-7 loss.
So Friday will mark the third meeting between South Point and Statesville, and South Point has entered with an undefeated record every time. The game sets up on paper to be a competitive one as South Point (12-0) was ranked second in the final Associated Press 3A state poll while Statesville (12-1) was fourth.
Williams, Rector and Biggerstaff still follow South Point closely and are excited about the playoff run. Biggerstaff, who lives just around the corner from Lineberger Stadium, has reserved seats for home games, stays in touch with the current coaching staff and has even watched film on Statesville. Biggerstaff is thrilled to see the current South Point team playing so well after graduating 27 seniors from last year�s roster.
�They�ve come a long way. They were real, real young to begin with,� Biggerstaff said. �I attribute a lot of our success always to one of the finest coaching staffs in the state of North Carolina. I�ll put our coaching staff up against anybody.�
And he�d love to see another memorable playoff victory against Statesville that leads to a state title.

Welcome to Seattle Community Court
Seattle Community Court serves "chronic public system users" and offenders who commit low-level crimes, fail to comply with sanctions, fail to appear for Court, and use jail days when they could more effectively be rehabilitated through alternative strategies.
A Collaborative Effort
As a collaborative effort of the Seattle Municipal Court, Seattle City Attorney's Office and the Associated Counsel for the Accused Division - Department of Public Defense (DPD), Community Court takes a different approach to the chronic social, human and legal problems that are resistant to conventional solutions.
Problem-Solving Justice
Eligible defendants that "opt in" to the program are assigned community service hours at neighborhood-based sites. They are assessed for basic needs and referred to specific social services that help with homelessness, unemployment, education, mental health, and chemical dependency.
Defendants who commit these crimes are frequently homeless individuals with severe problems such as drug or alcohol addiction and mental illness, which often drive their criminal behavior. Our traditional criminal justice model does not and cannot address these issues. Relying on jail as the sole sanction does not address the underlying problems that may be driving recidivism by this population.
The problem-solving approach of community courts recognizes that individuals, as well as communities, can be victims of crime.
Therapeutic and restorative justice models have proven effective at reducing incident rates in other cities around the country.
Community Court combines sanctions with immediate referral to comprehensive services.
"It's given me the opportunity to take a different avenue and utilize services I may not have otherwise had access to. Everyone was very nice & (we were) treated fair." - Community Court Participant

Jim Impoco to leave Reuters as the company readies new digital strategy
Reuters Digital boss Chrystia Freeland issued a memo this morning announcing the leadership structure of Reuters Next, the company's new consumer-facing online strategy and soon to be re-launched website.
Buried in the announcement was the news that Jim Impoco, a veteran business journalist and one of Freeland's main deputies on the digital side, will leave Reuters at the end of the month.
Story Continued Below
"I am very grateful to Jim for his excellent work and wish him the very best in his new venture," she said.
Impoco's departure was a surprise to some. It had been expected that he would be moving away from the digital side to concentrate full-time on the eponymous luxury magazine he lauched for Reuters last year, the third issue of which is expected to debut at the forthcoming World Economic Forum in Davos.
Reached for comment via email, Impoco, who's also worked as an editor at The New York Times and the late Portfolio magazine, wouldn't say where he's headed, but told Capital: "I have nothing but great things to say about Reuters. Chrystia Freeland is a rock star and a friend for life. And I am grateful to [Reuters editor-in-chief] Steve Adler for all the fun opportunities he threw my way. Looking forward to the next challenge."
You can read Freeland's full memo below. We'll have more soon.
Dear Colleagues:
As Steve Adler announced a few weeks ago, I'll be taking on the role of Managing Director and Editor, Consumer News in the new Reuters structure, responsible for editorial, product and design and commercial strategy for our digital consumer products. This is an important and exciting time in the digital news space and I'm thrilled to be leading the team that will unveil the results of our "Reuters Next" initiative over the next few months — a new suite of digital and mobile properties, including the launch of the long-awaited new Reuters.com and its mobile app versions. The new website and apps are an essential element of Reuters' drive to create a consumer news platform which is a valued and effective showcase for all of our journalism, in every medium and around the world. Crucially, Reuters Next will be the public face of Thomson Reuters as a whole and will be organically connected with our paid-for subscription products, offering our clients an extra service and a wider community, and enticing new clients to try and buy our subscription products.
A key role in the new structure will be the commercial head of our consumer digital platforms. This is a critical and high-profile job which will require both consumer online sales skills and experience and a sophisticated understanding of the broader role our consumer digital presence needs to play for all of the Thomson Reuters businesses. This role will be responsible for identifying and managing the commercial strategy, revenue goals and revenue related operations for all of Reuters Next globally.
We will be posting the job both internally and externally and hope to fill it with dispatch. In the interim, Riley McDonough will continue to lead our global sales team. In his four and a half years with Reuters he has helped the site grow in both reputation and revenue. Although Riley has decided it is time for him to move on to new opportunities outside the company, he will be staying until we are joined by a new head of commercial strategy.
I will also be creating a new role of managing editor of the commercial digital platforms. This position will also be posted both internally and externally. The editor who takes this crucial job will be responsible for the editorial content on all of our consumer digital platforms around the world. The three talented journalists who currently lead our consumer editorial work -- Dan Colarusso, our head of global video programming, James Ledbetter, our opinion editor, and Kenneth Li, the editor of Reuters.com -- will report in to this new position. Jim Impoco, who has played an important role in the creation of Next, as well as launching our widely acclaimed Reuters magazine, has also decided to leave Reuters at the end of January. I am very grateful to Jim for his excellent work and wish him the very best in his new ventures.
My other direct reports will be Bill Riordan, our head of product, and Daniele Codega, our chief designer. Bill and Daniele have played a crucial role in the creation of Reuters Next and will be equally essential in unveiling our new platforms to the wider world and showing them off to best advantage.
I will be taking the next month or so to get to know the sales organization more deeply and work with many of you to determine the best way to structure it so it aligns with our Reuters Next strategy. You will continue to hear from me throughout this process on our new appointments as well as other updates on our progress. This is a very exciting time for all of us. Reuters' new united team creates powerful opportunities, and Next promises to make a big impact for all of us, our clients, our future clients and for all of our readers. This new structure in consumer news will give us the best possible team to capitalise on all of this potential.

text: The quality of teacher education programs: Q & A with James J. Hennessy, Ph.D. October 8, 2013 | By Nick Alexopulos James Hennessy presents during the Leadings Minds speaker series event at Loyola University Maryland on Sept. 26, 2013. In late September 2013, local and national education experts gathered at Loyola University Maryland for a panel discussion that explored whether teacher colleges are preparing teachers for the classroom. "Ready to Teach: Preparing New Teachers for the Classroom," this year's event in the Leading Minds speaker series presented by the Baltimore Curriculum Project and Loyola's School of Education, came on the heels of a heated national debate over the validity of a report released in June by the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) that widely criticized the quality of teacher education programs at colleges and universities across the country. James J. Hennessy, Ph.D., dean of the Fordham University Graduate School of Education, was among the experts on the panel, which included the NCTQ president Kate Walsh. He sat down for a one-on-one interview prior to the event to discuss the teacher education issue. Do you think the criticism of the quality of undergraduate and graduate teacher education programs is valid? I think there are a number of teacher education schools that may not be doing a good job, but the evidence is anecdotal in most instances. We don't have the data systems in place to come to firm agreement that this institution is doing a good job, that institution is not. I think that with what is going on in the world of accreditation in teacher education, what's going on in the world of organizations such as the National Council on Teacher Quality, we are moving toward gathering data that will allow us to look at the impact that our graduates – each individual school's graduates – are having in the K-12 system. I would be very concerned if we reduced the indicators of impacts to test scores, which is what is being done in a lot of the Race to the Top states, where they want to see growth in test scores. As someone with a deep background in psychometrics, I'm unaware of any single measurement that can be precise enough to be used to evaluate teachers in that way. What was your reaction to the NCTQ report, and what will the report's impact be? NCTQ is the 800-pound gorilla in the teaching world right now. They are bashing schools of education. I think the bashing is unnecessary; I think it is tinged with an unkindness that verges on nastiness and it's off the mark. The other side of that, NCTQ in some ways was a factor in pushing for the improvement of the accreditation of teacher education institutions. So while generally it is regarded as negative, I think it has contributed to pushing us to say we have to take a serious look at ourselves. And I think with the evolution of the new standards that were recently adopted by the new accrediting agency for teacher education, CAEP. As CAEP gains traction, the need for NCTQ-like evaluations simply passes away. What challenges should be addressed now and in the future? We should improve the academic quality of people entering the teaching field. The evidence that Teach for America regularly cites for why its core members do such a good job, is that they have a firm grounding in the liberal arts and sciences. They went to competitive colleges and they got grade point averages in the range of 3.0 and above. They're bringing highly able, highly educated folks into the classroom. That's what the teacher work force should be. Also, teacher education is too important to be an undergraduate major. Teaching is too important to simply be an occupation. Teaching should rise to the level of a profession. And it cannot, so long as it is an undergraduate major. You don't certify professionals on an undergraduate measure. It will take 20 years for that wave of teachers to cycle into the system before we will see the major effects that we would be looking for. It is not short term. James J. Hennessy, Ph.D., is dean of, and a professor in, the Graduate School of Education at Fordham University, where he taught on a variety of subjects in psychology and testing. He has co-authored four books on the psychology of criminal and aggressive behavior, co-edited a book on research ethics and fraud, and most recently co-edited a book on drug court research. His professional affiliations include the American Educational Research Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Psychological Society, The American Association for the Advancement of Science and the National Association of Drug Court Professionals.

Good News, Bad News
Evangelization, Conversion, and The Crisis of Faith
Fr. C. John McCloskey
Length: 134 pages
Edition: Paperback
Fr. John McCloskey has become a famous "convert maker" in the powerful corridors close to the White House. Having run the Catholic Information Center in the heart of Washington, DC from 1998 to 2004, McCloskey had direct contact with numerous well-known and lesser-known Washington figures. Among well-known Catholic converts instructed by Fr. McCloskey are Senator Sam Brownback, publisher Alfred Regnery, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, journalist Robert Novak and many others.
This work is a joint effort of McCloskey and Russell Shaw, the widely read Catholic author, speaker, and former communications director for the U.S. bishops. Drawing on moving, firsthand accounts of conversions, this book combines personal testimony, solid theology, and effective methods of communicating the Catholic Faith.
Father C. John McCloskey, III, STD is a priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei and a research Fellow at the Faith and Reason Institute. He has served as a Catholic chaplain at Princeton University and as director of the Catholic Information Center in Washington. His articles have appeared in such publications as Catholic World Report, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.
Russell Shaw is the author of eighteen books and is the former information director of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops/United States Catholic Conference and Knights of Columbus. He is also a member of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, the father of five and the grandfather of nine.
From personal experience, I can testify that Father C. John McCloskey is one of America's great Catholic evangelizers. This book is a unique, fascinating guide of how and why to convert, and it should be must reading for all Catholics.
—Robert D. Novak, Syndicated Columnist
Mr. Shaw and Fr. McCloskey have written a book about repentance, recovery, conversion, and joy. I recommend it because I have experienced it through Jesus, my Savior.
—Lawrence Kudlow, Host CNBC's "Kudlow & Company"
Through their friendship and their family life, Catholics converted the Roman Empire, on person at a time. This book shows you how it was done-and how it's still done today. It's a book that can change the world all over again.
—Scott Hahn, author Rome Sweet Home
This book ranks with Karl Stern's Pillar of Fire and Thomas Merton's Seven Storey Mountain as an indispensable spiritual road map for the perplexed, the sorely bent and the broken.I know: Father John McCloskey was my Virgil, guiding me gently and lovingly through the terrifying jungle of secular success to a place of infinite surcease – God's grace.
—Dr. Bernard Nathanson, Pro-Life activist and author
Fr. C.J. McCloskey and Russell Shaw are themselves incomparavle evangelists and apologists of the Curch. They are compelling writers. All should study them.
—Lewis E.Lehrman, 2005 winner of the National Humanities Medal
No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, pick this book up and be transformed both inside and out.
—Raymond Arroyo, EWTN News Director and New York times bestselling author
When it comes to leading people into full communion with the Catholic Church, Fulton J. Sheen was the John McCloskey of his day.
—Robert P. George, Princeton University
This book is calling all Catholics to share the gift of faith and shows them how to do so with winsome joy.
—Rev. Richard John Neuhaus, Editor-In-chief of First Things
Articulate and provocative. This is an important book we all need to read.
—Bowie Kuhn, Former Commissioner of Professional Baseball.
"There is no more articulate believer in the power and majesty of the Catholic Church than Fr. C. J. McCloskey. Any sincere searcher for Truth who is attracted to Christian--particularly Catholic--faith, will want to read this book. Agree or disagree with Fr. McClosky's unequivocal perspectives, his assertive witness provides much food for thought."
—Wesley J. Smith Senior fellow, Discovery Institute and author of Culture of Death: The Assault on Medical Ethics in America.
I've often wished that the call to Christian witness could come with a user's manual. Now it does, and the book is written by two true heroes of the apostolate. Do the world a favor and read this book today!
—Mike Aquilina, EWTN host. Vice-President, St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology. Author, The Father
Fr. C. John McCloskey is one of the foremost apostles of the new evangelization in the United States. Catholics looking to bring converts into the fold should pay close attention to this wise and engaging book.
—W. Bradford Wilcox, author of Soft Patriarchs, New Men: How Christianity Shapes Fathers and Husbands
Good News, Bad News is a wonderful contribution to the new evangelization envisioned by Pope John Paul II. Although dialogue is important for the Church, it is not a replacement for the fundamental call to evangelize. Father C.J. McCloskey and Russell Shaw, with clarity and deep insight, show how this can be done today in a joyful effort to bring others to the fullness of truth, which is found in Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church. All those who love Our Lord and long to share the Faith would do well to read this excellent work.
—Dr. Timothy O'Donnell, STD, KGCHS, President of Christendom College.
Fr. McCloskey's and Russell Shaw's new work is an arresting reminder that even in our relentlessly technological age, sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ born and raised from the dead is still best accomplished person-to-person. In these pages two compelling writer/evangelists provide both blueprint and testimonial to the ongoing power of the personal witness and its role in the evangelization of persons and cultures.
—Jeffrey O. Nelson, President, Thomas More College of Liberal Arts.
The obstacles to converting people to the Catholic Faith in the modern world today are formidable. It is difficult to imagine a time since Luther's revolt when Catholicism has been more misrepresented and misunderstood, and more treated with contempt and indifference. Fr. John McCloskey and Russell Shaw - the priest and the journalist -show how, despite these impediments, the Truth of the Catholic Faith can be made known to self-identified modern people through appeals to the intellect and the heart seeking understanding. Both practical and inspiring, McCloskey and Shaw have provided us with an indispensable guide for bringing others to where we are all called - home to Christ and his Catholic Church, the home of Truth and Divine Love.
—Samuel Gregg, Acton Institute
Father John is the subject of much wariness in some quarters — a secretive figure working the back corridors of power, sewing the seeds of medieval intrigue. Here's his playbook, for anyone to read, along with some A-list testimonials.
—Dave Shiflet, author "Exodus -- Why Americans Are Fleeing Liberal Churches for Conservative Christianity."
In McCloskey and Shaw we have examples of men who contradict the vacuous dictum that those who cannot do, teach. They teach what they have done, and have done well. What they say is both faithful and reasonable and the combination has already affected many lives.
—Fr. George William Rutler, New York City.
Fr. C. John McCloskey has written a book from an uncommon vantage point: the perspective of a clear-eyed, optimistic Christian who focuses, not on the obstacles to religious belief in our society, but on the incredible opportunities for evangelization. Drawing on his broad pastoral experience, and giving us the actual words of many ordinary, real-world people who have gone through different forms of conversion, he offers a multitude of resources to use and practical steps to take in order to bring others closer to Christ in a very normal, "un-preachy" way. This unapologetic introduction to apologetics will open people's eyes to marvelous possibilities for being apostles in their own lives."
—Christopher Wolfe, author of Natural Law Liberalism and Co-Director of the Ralph McInerny Center for Thomistic Studies
In a time of great conversions to the Catholic Church, not only in numbers but in the noteworthiness of the converts themselves, we are now blessed to have the Good News and the Bad News about the state of the Church and conversions in our age. Fr. McCloskey has been on the front lines, leading searching souls to the fullness of the faith. The stories are fascinating, the background instructive. This book is a fascinating read that will enthrall you from beginning to end.
—Steve Ray, author of Crossing the Tiber
Fr. C. John McCloskey has provided a clear and practical guide for the apostolate of evangelization to which God calls every member of the Catholic laity. With confidence in the power of the truth and an understanding of the joy that permeates faithful Catholic life, Fr. McCloskey draws upon his own considerable experience in helping converts into the Church to assure us that we, too, can be God's instruments in this edifying work.
This book is in many ways an exhortation to genuine friendship and love—just as Our Lord offers us friendship with God, so also can we help those we care about to a fuller friendship with Christ. If we take to heart and put into practice the message of this very readable little book, not only will we have a role in bringing God's kingdom to our friends and relatives, we will grow in our own relationship with Christ.
—Dr. Thomas E. Dillon, President of Thomas Aquinas College
McCloskey and Shaw have put forth a clarion call to the laity to proclaim the Gospel and defend the Faith. Good News, Bad News is filled with inspiring stories, concrete advice, and a clear theological vision of what it means to be a disciple and witness of Jesus Christ in a culture in desperate need of the Truth."
—Carl Olson, author of Will Catholics Be Left Behind?
Those who forget the role of contemplation in the conversion of souls would be well advised to read this book. As one of the greatest saints of the twentieth century has reminded us, it is prayer, then action, that is the recipe for winning souls for Christ
—Joe Sobran, Syndicated Columnist
A great priest and a great writer combine on a great topic, the path to Rome - now that's a great idea! As one who tread that path some years ago, I can not think of a more important subject. Hopefully, this book will inspire others to follow that path.
—William L. Saunders,Vice President, Family Research Council
Fr John McCloskey is an expert apologist and evangelist. With patience, wisdom, compassion and wit he has helped many people come into joyful full communion with the Catholic Church. Here he applies the same gifts to the task of teaching others the art of winning converts. Good News is a fresh, practical and readable manual for the New Evangelization, and should be devoured by all those involved in sharing their faith.
—Fr Dwight Longenecker, author, broadcaster and Chaplain of St Joseph's School, Greenville, South Carolina
Good News gives Christians of today a clear guide on how to reach out to people and disseminate the truth about life. The many personal stories about how human beings opened their souls to the Lord's calling have one implicit element in common: McCloskey's extending himself to meet and understand human beings as they are. God does the conversion, but McCloskey has helped open minds and hearts by an apostleship based on prayer, knowledge about his faith, example and courage.
—Alejandro Antonio Chafuen, CEO of Atlas Economic Research Foundation.
In this tour de-force, one of America's foremost writers and a well known priest evangelist, provide a theologically rich and a pastorally wise guide for Catholics to fulfill the Lord's command "Make disciples of all nations" Mt. 28:19. The personal stories provide thrilling moments of how God works through the evangelizer and in the converted. For priests and laity this thoughtful, joyful and practical book is a must!
—Bernard Dobranski, President and Dean, Ave Maria School of Law.
Conversion and Holiness in The New Evangelization may sound forbidding, but it offers a very practical spirituality. If a friend asks about converting to Catholicism, here is simple, straightfoward and unembarrassing advice. Almost all the known questions related to conversion are similarly discussed. God will be the real sheperd, of course, but this is a clear set of guideposts to Catholicism from which even (or especially) exisiting Catholics will benefit.
—John O'Sullivan, author The President, the Pope and the Prime Minister
Without conversion there will be no evangelization, that is the good news and the bad news. The call to change is the very heart of the gospel and the new evangelization demands it.
—Bishop Nicholas Di Marzio, Brooklyn
"Evangelizing" sometimes has a bad name. But Father McCloskey and Russell Shaw show why this needn't be the case. In fact, they explain why evangelization is every Christian's responsibility and how to evangelize with both zeal and genuine respect for others.
—Sen. Rick Santorum
Readers are guaranteed to find this book highly intelligent, unabashedly orthodox, and splendidly readable. The team of "Fr. C. John" and Russell Shaw would be very difficult to beat.
—Thomas Howard, author of The Night is Far Spent
We are repeatedly told that the success formula in life is KISS: Keep it simple, Stupid! And that's just what Father McCloskey has done in his work on evangelization. We are reminded that this task of "convert-making" is pre-eminently a lay apostolate and that it takes no more than a basic knowledge of the faith, living it enthusiastically and being willing to share it honestly and joyfully. The whole book constantly brought back memories of my own father - a common laborer with only a high school diploma - who throughout the fifties and sixties brought dozens of honest seekers into the Catholic Church by his own fervent witness and intelligent presentation of the Catholic Faith. What God has made so simple, we ought not to complicate, as this book amply demonstrates.
—The Reverend Peter M.J. Stravinskas, PhD., S.T.D. editor, The Catholic Response
Father C. John McCloskey is one of the most dynamic apostles of Jesus I have ever known. He has the ability to present the good news of our redemption through the saving life, death, and resurrection of Our Lord persuasively, enthusiastically, invitingly. In Evangelization, Conversion and the Crisis of Faith Father "C.J" and Russell Shaw describe the compelling insights Father has used to share the truths of the faith in an inspiring way. I personally know some of the persons he has converted-and whose moving testimonies are included in this book-and the way their lives have been transformed as a result. This is a must read.
—William E. May, Michael J. McGivney Professor of Moral Theology, Pontifical John Paul II Institute and author of Standing with Peter: Reflections of a Lay Theologian on God's Loving Providence

Mr Antonio Tajani
European Commissioner for Transport
B-1049 Brussels
Dear Commissioner Tajani,
We the undersigned travel industry consumers and organizations, representing millions of European business travelers, write to express our deep concerns regarding the current revision of the computer reservation system (CRS) Code of Conduct.
You will be aware that Parliament voted on 4th September 2008 to amend the computer reservation system (CRS) Code of Conduct as part of a compromise with the French Presidency. Given the significance of this legislation for consumers, and the wider travel industry, we have serious concerns about its effectiveness.
We would like to request a meeting with you to discuss which airlines will be considered "parent carriers" and thus, obligated under the revised Code's restrictions on abusive parent carrier behavior.
As you know, parent carriers are forbidden from restricting the flow of air and rail fare information and booking functionality to competitive distribution services. These restrictions are necessary because of the historical fact that airlines that own or control CRSs have the means and the incentive to undermine airline, rail and distribution competition to the detriment of consumers. The recently missed opportunity to bring legislative clarity to the Code is positive proof of how the interests of 380 million European consumers can be undermined.
Despite the fact that Parliament's Transport Committee overwhelmingly approved a set of amendments on 29 May 2008 providing a clear definition of parent carrier, a flawed plenary amendment was tabled as a result of a compromise with the French Presidency. Consumer groups actively sought clarification of this amended parent carrier definition due to the insertion of a dangerously ambiguous "decisive influence" test for parent carrier status. A large number of MEPs were concerned that this insertion rendered the code ineffective, and voted to delete the problematic decisive influence text in order to safeguard consumers. Unfortunately they lost a razor-thin vote (305 to 291) to remove this language from the legislation.
Europe's consumers now look to DG TREN and DG SANCO to cooperate closely and bring forth an interpretative notice on the definition of parent carrier as promised by the European Commission during the recent plenary. This notice should serve to protect consumers' interests by interpreting 'decisive influence' to make it clear that the right to designate one or more representatives on the board of the system vendor will be regarded as "conferring the possibility of exercising alone or jointly with others, decisive influence" over that system vendor. Indeed, by definition the directors of an undertaking together with the other directors decisively control any undertaking, so we do not see how the outcome of the interpretative exercise could, in fairness, reach any other result.
Assuring transparency is the only way to avoid regulation that works against consumer interests. The Commission has worked hard through its online ticketing investigations to provide price transparency for the purchase of airline tickets. Full disclosure of all airfare charges and fees codified in this CRS regulation is rendered meaningless if the consumer does not have visibility to the airfare offering in the first place.
We would be grateful if you could take the time to meet with us, as soon as schedules permit, in order to discuss the issues at stake in a timely manner, and to gain a better understanding of how you intend to proceed with protecting consumer interests. A representative of our group will contact your office to see when a meeting with you might be held.

On the morning of Nov. 30, Craig Webb will be raising a lot of red flags. Two thousand of them, to be exact.
Webb, manager of the Ventura County Public Health (VCPH) HIV/AIDS program, and his team plan to place these flags on the lawn of the Ventura County Government Center as a reminder of the increasing HIV/AIDS epidemic. Each flag represents a Ventura County resident who, since 1983, has been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.
"We're hoping to get people out to get tested to find out what their HIV results are," said Webb, "because only 1 in 5 people who are infected with HIV know their status."
More worrisome still is the fact that, in the U.S., someone new is infected every 9.5 minutes.
The flags, printed with "I Know, Do You?" are an effort to raise awareness about the need to get tested. VCPH is sponsoring the display, which has been timed to coincide with World AIDS Day on Dec. 1.
The global health day, held annually since 1988 and hosted by the National Aids Trust (NAT), is the first ever of its kind. While the primary goal of World AIDS Day is to raise awareness worldwide, it also provides an opportunity to show support for people living with HIV and to commemorate those who have died from the disease.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), about 50,000 people become infected with HIV in the U.S. each year. Nationally, about 1.2 million people are living with HIV, but roughly 240,000 have no idea they are positive, simply because they haven't been tested.
Getting tested, as both VCPH and the CDC agree, is the first and most important step in fighting the spread of HIV. Only those who know their positive status can begin to receive the care they need. Without proper medical care, HIV leads to AIDS and early death.
"Over half the new HIV infections are caused by people who do not know they are HIV positive," said Webb. "To reduce the spread of HIV, people need to get tested and into medical care. Without medical care, HIV can lead to AIDS."
But there is hope for those who test positive for HIV.
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) can lower the level of virus in the body and help people with HIV live longer, healthier lives. ART also lowers the chances of passing HIV on to others. Advances in medical care, along with ART, have helped reduce the number of people with HIV who get AIDS.
More than 16,000 people with AIDS, however, die each year. This is partly because only 28 percent of those who know their positive status are getting the care and information they need to manage the disease and keep the virus under control.
VCPH aims to remedy this, at least locally.
The agency is one of the main providers of free HIV/AIDS testing and comprehensive case management within Ventura County. In 2011, it administered more than 1,450 20-minute HIV rapid tests free of charge, thanks to a prevention grant from the California Department of Public Health Services, Office of AIDS.
In an effort to maximize its effectiveness, the VCPH has taken a nod from President Barack Obama's National HIV/AIDS Strategy, aligning its HIV/AIDS program to address four fundamental goals outlined by the Office of National AIDS Policy. These goals are to minimize the number of new HIV infections; maximize the number of people with HIV who access appropriate care, treatment, support and prevention services; reduce HIV/AIDS-related disparities; and, ultimately, reduce deaths due to HIV infection.
The comprehensive implementation of these goals is vital to arresting the spread of what the president has called a "pandemic."
According to the VCPH's HIV CARE Program Service Delivery Plan for 2011-2013, an estimated 1,500 to 2,500 people are currently living with HIV or AIDS within Ventura County. There have been 60 to 90 new HIV cases, annually, over the past three years.
One of the contributing factors to this increase is the county's proximity to Los Angeles County, where prevailing rates are among the highest in the nation. The CDC's most recent HIV Surveillance Report lists California as the state with the highest number of reported AIDS diagnoses in 2010.
Despite this alarming statistic, California has seen a steady decrease in AIDS cases over the past 10 years. In 1992, more than 12,000 diagnoses were reported. This number has fallen dramatically, to 4,000 or less, since 2005. Mortality rates due to AIDS have also declined, with the California Department of Health reporting a nearly 83 percent decrease over a 10 year period.
A combination of readily accessible testing, education and treatment for HIV — such as those provided by Webb and his team at the VCPH HIV/AIDS Program — have had a tremendous impact on arresting the spread of the disease and improving the lives of those already diagnosed.

Dry, breezy conditions fanned Toler Lane ditch burning
A Toler Lane controlled burn, which was picked up by the wind, was brought under control within a half hour of being reported Tuesday afternoon.
East Fork firefighters responded to an address in the 1400 block of Toler Lane for a fire that was reported at 2:17 p.m.
The fire's growth was reported halted at 2:45 p.m. By 5:10 p.m. firefighters had the fire out.
The fire was located south of Toler on an agricultural property, not far from the intersection with Orchard Road.
Initial reports were that the fire started as a controlled burn, and threatened a barn and vehicles on the property.
East Fork called for aid from the Sierra Front who sent a hand crew.
Smoke from the fire blew across Toler obscuring motorists' vision.
Traffic through Gardnerville was heavy with Carson Valley Middle and Gardnerville Elementary schools getting out around the same time the fire broke out.
East Fork Fire District Deputy Chief Dave Fogerson said the fire started when the wind shifted on a rancher burning a ditch.
"He had water on site and tried to put it out," Fogerson said. "We lost about a quarter acre, but the fire also got into a landscape lot, with some stacked timbers and a cottonwood tree. No one was hurt and everything went great. We were able to keep it out of the willows that led to a hay barn as well as four storage buildings, so it could have been worse had he not called 911 when he did."
Fogerson urged Valley residents who are burning to use extra caution since it's dry out.
Residential open burning continues until May 18, but ag burning typically continues through the year.

Tigers Practice at Falcons' Facility, Watch NFL Game
LSU Sports Interactive
ATLANTA -- LSU did anything but rest here Sunday as the Tigers continued to prepare for their New Year's Eve contest against 14th-ranked Georgia Tech with a workout in shells (helmets and shoulder pads) at the Atlanta Falcons Practice Facility.
Sunday's schedule had the Tigers departing for the Falcons Facility, located 45 minutes north of downtown Atlanta, at 9:15 a.m. followed by a practice session of just over two hours. The Tigers made the trip back to the hotel in time to catch the Atlanta Falcons game against the St. Louis Rams in the Georgia Dome that afternoon.
On the practice field, the Tiger defense continues to prepare for the triple-option offensive attack of Georgia Tech, while the LSU offense is preparing to face a very talented Yellow Jackets defense. LSU and Georgia Tech square off at 7:30 p.m. EST on Dec. 31 at the Georgia Dome. The game will be televised to a national audience by ESPN.
"We had another good work day," LSU coach Les Miles said. "Our preparation is rounding into shape. We'll get back into the Georgia Dome on Monday for our final practice and then we'll have our walk-thru there on Tuesday afternoon.
"I think we have made progress as a team during our bowl preparations. We are excited about the opportunity of facing a very good Georgia Tech team with a chance to finish our season on a positive note."
LSU spent both Saturday and Sunday at the Falcons Practice Facility, which is located in Flowery Branch, Ga. On Saturday, it was an LSU reunion of sorts at practice as five former Tigers stopped in to visit the team. Four of the former Tigers are currently listed on the roster of the Atlanta Falcons and consisted of center Todd McClure, center Ben Wilkerson, tight end Keith Zinger and defensive back Chevis Jackson. Former Tiger Chuck Wiley, who spent several years in the NFL, also took in a portion of the LSU practice.
"It was nice to see those guys," Miles said of the former Tigers. "All of those players were instrumental in helping build this program. They will always be Tigers and we're glad that we were able to spend some time with them."
Miles also got to spend a few minutes with Falcons head coach Mike Smith, who stopped by on Saturday afternoon to welcome the Tigers to their practice facility.
The Tigers will get a break following the Falcons game on Sunday as the team will have the night off before returning to football related activities with pre-practice team meeting on Monday at 9:45 am. LSU is scheduled to workout from 1 to 3:20 p.m. at the Georgia Dome on Monday.

NEW HOPE: From left, Ann Neumeyer, MD, medical director of the Lurie Family Autism Center, Elizabeth Thiele, MD, PhD, director of the MGH Pediatric Epilepsy Program, and Thibert accept the first donation for the Angelman Syndrome Clinic from ASF Executive Director Eileen Braun and board member Mitch Caspert.
MassGeneral Hospital for Children (MGHFC) recently rolled out two new clinics – the Angelman Syndrome Clinic and the Child and Adolescent Medical Psychiatry (ChAMP) Clinic – and a new weight and asthma program, Inspired Health, adding to its more than 50 specialty programs and 15 surgical services.
Angelman Syndrome Clinic
The MGH, MGHfC and the Angelman Syndrome Foundation (ASF) have partnered to establish the Angelman Syndrome Clinic, celebrating the launch at an Oct. 23 event. The facility – one of only two in the country – is focused on serving the comprehensive medical needs of children and adults with Angelman syndrome. A rare congenital disorder occurring in one in 15,000 live births, the condition is often associated with autism and causes severe neurological impairment that appears in newborns and lasts for a lifetime.
The purpose of the clinic is to reduce the frequency and severity of Angelman syndrome symptoms, particularly seizures, and to develop individual dietary regimens to further reduce symptoms, says Ron Thibert, DO, MSPH, the clinic's co-director. The clinic also will work to enhance education for Angelman syndrome patients, helping them achieve their full developmental potential. With the ultimate goal of improving quality of life for individuals with Angelman syndrome, the clinic provides "one-stop-shop" access to a clinical geneticist, neurologist, psychiatrist, psychologist, speech language pathologist, physical/occupational therapist, genetic counselor, social worker and nutritionist – all specializing in the disease. For more information, contact clinic coordinator Elias Shaaya at 617-726-6540.
Child and Adolescent Medical-Psychiatry (ChAMP) Clinic
The Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry recently launched the ChAMP Clinic to provide outpatient psychiatric consultation to children with both medical and psychiatric illness. Elizabeth Pinsky, MD, and Lawrence Selter, MD, will accept referrals from primary care physicians and subspecialists for patients exhibiting problems such as psychosomatic illness, depression or anxiety related to medical illness, psychiatric issues interfering with adherence to medical treatment, and illnesses that have both psychological and physical manifestations, including fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. The clinic will provide evaluations, treatment recommendations, short-term care and referrals to local providers for those needing long-term care. For more information, clinicians should email firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com. Patients can call 617-726-2726 for an appointment.
Inspired Health
Because the effects of asthma and weight can interact in complex ways, it is often difficult to manage each condition on its own. Christina Scirica, MD, MPH, a pediatric pulmonologist and weight expert, worked with the Division of Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine and the MGHfC Weight Center to create Inspired Health, a program designed to treat both conditions together. Each new patient undergoes an initial evaluation to assess his or her current health, asthma control, weight and level of conditioning as well as other factors that might affect care. The pediatric pulmonary staff, which includes a registered dietitian and social worker, works closely with each patient and family to develop individualized action plans and implement achievable goals with close follow up. For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com. Read more articles from the 11/9/12 Hotline issue.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a sweeping initiative to curb pollutants blamed for global warming, the Obama administration unveiled a plan Monday that cuts carbon dioxide emissions from power plants by nearly a third over the next 15 years, but pushes the deadline for some states to comply until long after President Barack Obama leaves office.
The 645-page rule, expected to be finalized next year, is a centerpiece of Obama's plans to tackle climate change and aims to give the United States more leverage to prod other countries to act when negotiations on a new international treaty resume next year. Under the plan, carbon emissions would be reduced 30 percent by 2030, compared to 2005 levels, putting in motion one of the most significant U.S. actions on global warming.
The proposal sets off a complex regulatory process, steeped in politics, in which the 50 states will each determine how to meet customized targets set by the Environmental Protection Agency, then submit those plans for approval.
"The glue that holds this plan together – and the key to making it work – is that each state's goal is tailored to its own circumstances, and states have the flexibility to reach their goal in whatever works best for them," EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said as she formally announced the proposal.
McCarthy characterized the proposal as "ambitious, but achievable."
Some states will be allowed to emit more and others less, leading to an overall, nationwide reduction of 30 percent.
Many states that rely heavily on coal will be spared from cutting a full 30 percent. West Virginia, for example, must cut 23 percent by 2030 compared to what the state was emitting in 2012. Ohio's target is 28 percent, while Kentucky and Wyoming will have to find ways to make an 18 percent and 19 percent cut.
On the other extreme, New York has a 44 percent target, EPA figures show. New York has already joined with other Northeast states to curb carbon dioxide from power plants, reducing the baseline figure from which cuts must be made. But states like New York can get credit for actions they've already taken, lest they be punished for taking early action on climate change.
Initially, Obama wanted each state to submit their plans by June 2016. But the draft proposal shows states could have until 2017 – and 2018, if they join with other states to tackle the problem.
That means even if the rules survive legal and other challenges, the dust won't likely settle on this transformation until well into the next administration, raising the possibility that political dynamics in either Congress or the White House could alter the rule's course.
Related: Senators seek more time to comment on coal plant emission standards
Although Obama doesn't need a vote in Congress to approve his plans, opponents in Congress could attempt to block them, and some Republicans have already vowed to pursue that course. Scuttling the rules could be easier if Republicans take the Senate in November and then the White House in 2016.
Another potential flash point: The plan relies heavily on governors agreeing to develop plans to meet the federal standard. If Republican governors refuse to go along, as was the case with Obama's expansion of Medicaid, the EPA can create its own plan for a state. But the specifics of how EPA could force a state to comply with that plan remain murky.
S. William Becker, who heads the National Association of Clean Air Agencies, credited the rule for giving states more time to develop strategies and granting credit for previous steps to cut emissions.
"Still, the regulatory and resource challenges that lie ahead are daunting," Becker said.
Power plants are the largest U.S. source of greenhouse gases, accounting for about a third of the annual emissions. EPA data show power plants have already reduced carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 13 percent since 2005, meaning they are about halfway to meeting the administration's goal.
The EPA projected that carrying out the plan will cost up to $8.8 billion annually in 2030, but the actual costs will depend heavily on how states choose to reach their targets. The administration argued that any costs to comply are far outweighed by savings in health costs that the U.S. will realize thanks to reductions in other pollutants like soot and smog that will accompany a shift away from dirtier fuels.
Environmental groups hailed the proposal, praising both the climate effects and the public health benefits they said would follow. Former Vice President Al Gore, a prominent environmental advocate, called it "the most important step taken to combat the climate crisis in our country's history."
But energy advocates sounded the alarm, warning of economic drag. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called the proposal "a dagger in the heart of the American middle class."
"If these rules are allowed to go into effect, the administration for all intents and purposes is creating America's next energy crisis," said Mike Duncan of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, which represents the coal industry.
Options for states to meet the targets include making power plants more efficient, reducing the frequency at which coal-fired power plants supply power to the grid, and investing in more renewable, low-carbon sources of energy. States could also enhance programs aimed at reducing demand by making households and businesses more energy-efficient. Each of those categories will have a separate target tailor-made for each state.
Coal once supplied about half the nation's electricity, but has dropped to 40 percent amid a boom in natural gas and renewable sources such as wind and solar. Although the new emissions cuts will further diminish coal's role, the EPA predicted that would still remain a leading source of electricity in the U.S., providing more than 30 percent of the projected supply.
Obama has already tackled the emissions from the nation's cars and trucks, announcing rules to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by doubling fuel economy. That standard will reduce carbon dioxide by more than 2 billion tons over the life of vehicles made in model years 2012-25. Calculations based on EPA figures show the proposal will prevent about 430 million tons of carbon dioxide from reaching the atmosphere.
