Despite shortfalls in state funding to community colleges, Illinois Valley Community College still approved a balanced budget for its operating costs for the 2008-2009 school year.
The IVCC Board of Trustees voted 5-0 Wednesday to approve the budget as presented last month. Trustees Deborah Sweeden and Thomas Setchell were absent.
The $33 million budget includes a loss of $167,000 in revenue due to the elimination of several grants in the state budgeting process. IVCC President Jerry Corcoran said the budget had included the option of adding four new staff positions. Given the loss of funding, the option of moving ahead with all four positions will be placed on hold. The college also will review contracts for services, supplies and conference and meeting expenses as places to make further cuts.

TOPIC: Access and utilization of mental health services for Latino children. PURPOSE: As Latino children may experience higher rates of unmet needs, this article examines the current literature for the reasons for the disparity and the barriers to the utilization of mental health services for Latino children.
SOURCES: An integrative literature review was undertaken from child psychiatry and nursing.
CONCLUSIONS: The literature confirmed a pattern of underutilization of mental health services by Latino children, but did not completely address the reasons for the disparity. Suggested barriers were language and cultural issues. Gaps in the literature include a lack of agreement for definition of a mental health problem and the tools to identify these, insufficient studies into the barriers for Latino children in the access and utilization of mental health services, and cultural and language issues related to Latino research.

Those who are fortunate enough to have grown up with the original Nintendo Entertainment System are bound to have played Tecmo Bowl. The series was the game that originally put video game football on the map, and this was before John Madden stuck his ugly mug on every EA football game. Tecmo has now seen fit to bring back the cherished franchise on the DS, in all of its old school glory.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is releasing results of its survey of 500 physicians about direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising for prescription drugs. The results confirm that DTC advertising, when done correctly, can serve positive public health functions such as increasing patient awareness of diseases that can be treated, and prompting thoughtful discussions with physicians that result in needed treatments being prescribed - often, not the treatment in the DTC advertisement. This study also demonstrates that most physicians view DTC advertisements as one of many factors that affect their practice and their interactions with patients, both positively and, in some respects, negatively.

Moved by the magnificent improbability of it all, our columnist feels compelled to write this open letter to the people of the United States.
ON exactly the opposite side of the globe from Chicago, the tropical noonday sun outside my window juxtaposed with televised images of your happy midnight, I watched you crying in Grant Park, people of America, your hearts set ablaze by your new President’s eloquence, by the poetry of his improbable victory, by your sudden surge of hope that the ship of state could right its course in the wearying year to come.
