It announced last week that it is phasing in a reduction of the provincial CIT to 10 percent, which is paid on top of the federal rate that itself is falling to 15 percent. The combined rate of 25 percent will be far lower than the average U.S. federal/state rate of 40 percent. The province is also eliminating sales taxes on business purchases, which will substantially reduce effective business tax rates. As the Canadian Press reports, the cuts will make Ontario’s business tax rates much “lower than the average U.S. Great Lake state, considered Ontario’s main competitors for jobs and investment.” Big Three auto companies, for example, m...

The training helps officers to de-escalate situations that may otherwise turn deadly.CIT is a very important tool, but it shouldn’t be the only one.Law enforcement officers in Buchanan County, Missouri will be receiving CIT “in light of dwindling funding for mental health programs and increased demand for such programs”Police Sergeant Matt Rock, a CIT supervisor in Buchanan County said:“The response for CIT officers will range from a call of a mentally-ill person caught shoplifting to an emotionally-distressed subject threatening to jump off a bridge. The officers will facilitate emergency mental health assessments at th...

Larry Craig: Slog Reader Visits the Scene of the Crime Posted by Dan Savage on September 5 at 12:57 PM Slog reader Zach writes… I found myself in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul International Aiport over the Labor Day weekend and couldn’t resist searching out the famous gay bathroom in which Sen. Larry Craig tapped his closeted little foot into infamy. The internet said the cruisy men’s room is located in the middle of Northstar Crossing, a shopping area just past the main security checkpoint as you’re heading to your gate. It was real easy to find.

It, like many other articles, is very supportive of CIT - but most all who praise this program seem to miss the fact that by the time someone with an untreated mental illness lands in front of even the most well-trained, compassionate CIT officer, they are in trouble - because they have already deteriorated to the point when law enforcement is involved.Cheer for CIT if you must, it is certainly better than no CIT. But it is no replacement for earlier intervention - and real help from well-trained, compassionate mental health professionals.The Treatment Advocacy Center (www.treatmentadvocacycenter.org) is a national nonprofit dedicated to eliminating barriers to the timely and eff...

Having so many new agents available at the same time means that clinicians can finally construct salvage regimens that maximize the likelihood of full virologic suppression while minimizing further resistance. Still, resistance to these new agents is inevitable, as indicated by many presentations at this year’s International HIV Drug Resistance Workshop, which took place in mid-June in Barbados. The findings desc... aids-write.org blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=729871 Thu, 12 Jul 2007 17:25:32 +0100 729871 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=638315&cid=t_139822_135_f&fid=35246&url=http%3A%2F%2Faids-write.org%2F%3Fp%3D570 from kaiser family network: Politics and Policy | California Counties Facing Federal HIV/AIDS Funding Cuts; Pelosi Sends Letter to HHS Secretary [May 24, 2007] Programs for HIV-positive residents in three California counties are facing cuts in some services after HHS officials announced funding allocations that will result in an annual loss of $8.6 million in federal funds for the counties, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. San Francisco, Marin and San Mateo counties receive funding for HIV/AIDS services under the Ryan White Program. However, the Ryan White Reauthorization Bill (HR 6143), which President Bush signed into law in December 2006, redistributes some funds from cities to rural areas.
