Excerpts from a powerful documentary produced by
WCOT in Tallahassee, FL detailing the dangers of
drinking and driving. The program follows the
story of Eric Smallridge, a young Tallahassee man
who is currently serving a 22-year sentence for
the death of two young women in a car accident
when he was driving under the influence. The piece
looks at the story from all angles, talking to
Eric, his parents and the families of the victims
showing how many lives were shattered in an
instant, with the decision to drink and drive.

What Can You Do to Protect Yourself?
Explains the steps you can take to protect
yourself from identity theft.
Identity theft is a serious crime. It occurs when
your personal information is stolen and used
without your knowledge to commit fraud or other
crimes. Identity theft can cost you time and
money. It can destroy your credit and
ruin your good name.
Deter identity thieves by safeguarding your
information.
■ Shred financial documents and paperwork with
personal information before you discard them.
■ Protect your Social Security number. Don't
carry your Social Security card in your wallet or
write your Social Security number on a check. Give
it out only if absolutely necessary or ask to use
another identifier.
■ Don't give out personal information on the
phone, through the mail, or over the Internet
unless you
know who you are dealing with.
■ Never click on links sent in unsolicited
emails;
instead, type in a web address you know. Use
firewalls,
anti-spyware, and anti-virus software to protect
your home computer; keep them up-to-date.
Visit OnGuardOnline.gov for more information.
■ Don't use an obvious password like your birth
date,
your mother's maiden name, or the last four digits
of your Social Security number.
■ Keep your personal information in a secure
place
at home, especially if you have roommates, employ
outside help, or are having work done in your
house.
Defend against ID theft as soon as you suspect it.
■ Place a "Fraud Alert" on your credit reports,
and review the reports carefully. The alert tells
creditors
to follow certain procedures before they open new
accounts in your name or make changes to your
existing accounts. The three nationwide consumer
reporting companies have toll-free numbers for
placing an initial 90-day fraud alert; a call to
one company is sufficient:
Equifax: 1-800-525-6285
Experian: 1-888-EXPERIAN (397-3742)
TransUnion: 1-800-680-7289

| HIV and AIDS: Prevention for Positives |
 |
Becky Kuhn, M.D., co-founder of Global Lifeworks,
discusses how people who are HIV positive (HIV+)
can reduce or eliminate their risk of transmitting
HIV to others. If HIV positive people choose to be
sexually active, it is important that they
practice safer sex techniques, such as using
condoms and dental dams, both to avoid infecting
others and to avoid re-infecting themselves with
other strains of HIV that may become resistant to
medications they are on or cause their T cell
(CD4) count to drop, which can lead to the onset
of clinical AIDS in a person who had been healthy
up until that point. If an HIV positive person is
on antiretroviral medication, it is important that
they take every dose on schedule to avoid
developing a drug-resistant strain of HIV. This
will also help keep their viral load low, reducing
the risk of HIV transmission. Visit

hopeless.

| Vitamin D: Essential for Prevention of Diseases |
 |
http://www.encognitive.com
Vitamin D: importance in the prevention of
cancers, type 1 diabetes, heart disease, and
osteoporosis.
The purpose of this review is to put into
perspective the many health benefits of vitamin D
and the role of vitamin D deficiency in increasing
the risk of many common and serious diseases,
including some common cancers, type 1 diabetes,
cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis. Numerous
epidemiologic studies suggest that exposure to
sunlight, which enhances the production of vitamin
D3 in the skin, is important in preventing many
chronic diseases. Because very few foods naturally
contain vitamin D, sunlight supplies most of our
vitamin D requirement.
25-Hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is the metabolite
that should be measured in the blood to determine
vitamin D status. Vitamin D deficiency is
prevalent in infants who are solely breastfed and
who do not receive vitamin D supplementation and
in adults of all ages who have increased skin
pigmentation or who always wear sun protection or
limit their outdoor activities. Vitamin D
deficiency is often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia.
A new dietary source of vitamin D is orange juice
fortified with vitamin D. Studies in both human
and animal models add strength to the hypothesis
that the unrecognized epidemic of vitamin D
deficiency worldwide is a contributing factor of
many chronic debilitating diseases. Greater
awareness of the insidious consequences of vitamin
D deficiency is needed. Annual measurement of
serum 25(OH)D is a reasonable approach to
monitoring for vitamin D deficiency. The
recommended adequate intakes for vitamin D are
inadequate, and, in the absence of exposure to
sunlight, a minimum of 1000 IU vitamin D/d is
required to maintain a healthy concentration of
25(OH)D in the blood.
