What is Advocacy? Advocacy is building support for something ( an organization, an ideal, a cause) gradually, over time. It is a long-term, step-by-step process. It is the broad umbrella term under which public relations, marketing, lobbying, and advertising campaign, all fit. An advocate is a person who can be counted on in all venues and circumstances to support a particular cause. At every opportunity, such a person will gather their courage, and speak-out or act for the good of the cause in which they believe. Why do Media Specialists need to advocate? The role of a school library media specialist is not well understood by many education decision makers. There is a mistaken belief by many people that the Internet is the answer to everything. Funds are being channeled into classroom technology and away from the media center. Media Center staff positions are being cut. The very existence of school library media specialists may be at stake. The publication of national standards in Information Power, ALA, 1998, and state standards in Quality Library Media Programs for Ohio Schools, OELMA, 1999, gave media specialists an opportunity to reposition themselves. The Advocacy Project initiated by AASL, and in which OELMA is participating, gives the building level media specialist the support and materials needed to be an effective advocate for their media center program.

RETURN TO PRESS RELEASE PAGE July 25, 2002 Barriers to Organ Transplantation for HIV-Infected Patients Unethical Research at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Veterans Affairs Ann Arbor Healthcare System suggests HIV-positive patients do well after transplantation Contact information for: Information for: Radio news Past UMHS Releases ... U-M main campus news PHILADELPHIA, PA - A paper in the July 25th, 2002, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and the Veterans Affairs Ann Arbor Healthcare System argues that there are strong ethical reasons to remove barriers to organ transplantation for HIV-infected patients who need them. Scott D. Halpern, MSCE, and Arthur L. Caplan, PhD, of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Peter A. Ubel, MD, of the Veterans Affairs Ann Arbor Healthcare System, Ann Arbor, MI, found, in a review of the limited available evidence, that HIV-positive patients who had received organ transplants were doing "remarkably well." They argue that this refutes the common notions that transplantation in the setting of HIV is unsafe, and that the HIV virus substantially limits the benefit patients could obtain from organ transplantation.

2003 Media Coverage 2003 News Releases Archived News Releases Lightspan Partners With HUD To Develop Education Technology Programs That Benefit Hispanic Families FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – June 15, 2000 Contact: Bob Scheid bscheid@lightspan.com WASHINGTON, D.C., June 15, 2000 — Lightspan, Inc. (NASDAQ:LSPN) announced today that it will be teaming up with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide education technology resources for more than 600 Neighborhood Network centers in public and assisted housing communities. President Clinton will announce the partnership today at the historic White House Strategy Session: Improving Hispanic Student Achievement. The Lightspan/HUD partnership will begin by establishing programs in HUD communities that serve a large number of Hispanic families. To ensure access to the best possible resources in the Neighborhood Network centers, Lightspan will provide interactive and online content including: math and reading activities aligned with state standards; an online English/Spanish Parent and Family Center to provide homework assistance; and a series of online research tools, including an interactive encyclopedia, dictionary and thesaurus. The initial programs will be established in Delaware, where Governor Thomas R. Carper provided leadership in facilitating this dynamic partnership on behalf of lower-income families. "Having spent the past 20 years working in educational technology, I have firsthand knowledge of the equity-in-education issue and how it affects Hispanic communities," said John T. Kernan, chairman and CEO of Lightspan. As a result of Lightspan's success in helping schools and families bridge the digital divide and improve language and academic skills, President Clinton sought out Kernan to participate in the White House Strategy Session.

Media Home Contact Us Local Contents "Centers" at CDC Summaries Archive Global Health Odyssey Media Relations Home Page ... Email Us May 1997 ATSDR AND EPA Warn the Public About Continuing Patterns of Metallic Mercury Esposure Metallic mercury is a hazardous chemical that can cause serious health problems. Children (especially very young children) and fetuses are most vulnerable. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), part of the U.S. Public Health Service, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are jointly issuing an alert to the general public. There is a continuing pattern of metallic mercury exposure in children and teenagers and in persons using certain folk medicines or participating in certain ethnic or religious practices. It is important for the general public to understand that either short-term or long-term exposures to metallic mercury can lead to serious health problems. Human exposure to metallic mercury occurs primarily from breathing contaminated air. Other forms of mercury can be absorbed by drinking contaminated water, eating food (usually fish containing mercury), and from skin contact. At high levels, metallic mercury can cause effects on the nervous system and the developing fetus. Other forms of mercury can damage other organs. Even at low levels, metallic mercury can cause health problems.
