Treatment for long-term Lyme disease sparks long-running debate
Martha’s Vineyard Times
Enid Haller, founder and executive director of the the Lyme Center of Martha’s Vineyard, located in West Tisbury, is a CLD advocate. She tells a different story.… Ms. Haller told The Times that she suffered the long-term effects of Lyme disease for more than 10 years, and her treatment at the Dean Lyme Center was the breakthrough she’d sought for over a decade. She said getting the antibiotics intravenously, through a PICC line (peripherally inserted central catheter) was the key.… Ms. Haller also runs support groups at the Dean Lyme Center and at the Lyme Center of Martha’s Vineyard, described on her website as a walk-in information service for Lyme and tick-borne diseases, from a home on Panhandle Road in West Tisbury. She is certified in New York as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

Miriam Nisenbaum: Why lowering qualifications for CPS workers could harm kids
Dallas Morning News
Texas is in a dire situation with its child protective services system. It’s grossly under-funded and often locked into crisis mode, with little long-term planning and a lack of focus on true outcomes for children in care. And what’s the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services’ most recent step to solving the problem? Lowering the requirements for frontline staff in investigations, conservatorship, and family-based services from a four-year degree to a two-year associates’ degree. CPS is going backwards, not forwards. This would give Texas the dubious distinction of the only state that doesn’t require a four-year degree for its caseworkers.

United by a desire to challenge assumptions

On stage, singer Wyatt Isaacs says, United by Music North America seeks to “open people up to new ideas” about blues, swing and jazz. But there is a more important mission behind the group’s celebratory performances. “What I think is important about this group,” says Lisa Lieberman, whose son, Jordan Ackerson, is also a United by Music performer, “is that these are people who have musical talent who happen to also have different kinds of diagnostic issues.”

What it’s really like to be a 30-year-old virgin

However, for the women I spoke with, being “picky” about who they chose to have sex with for the first time also went hand-in-hand with fear—fear of rejection, fear of being traumatized by finally doing something they’d heard so much about, fear of giving themselves over to another person in such an intimate way. This type of fear is enough to keep a woman who is physically and intellectually ready to have sex from taking the monumental step of actually doing it. “It becomes normalized. When you don’t know another way, it’s scary to make a change,” Sherry Amatenstein, a New York-based licensed clinical social worker, told me in a phone conversation. “You get stuck, and then you feel really bad about yourself for being so stuck.” Amatenstein said that she’s seen her patients’ doubts about their desirability and attractiveness become a self-fulfilling prophecy. “Some women feel like they’re waiting for true love, that they’re waiting for something. Then they turn around and don’t know what they’re waiting for.”
