| United Way contributes funds to Mental Health and Substance Abuse ...
Mental Health and Substance Abuse Centers of Southern Oklahoma, located at 111 E. 12th St., has been providing services for the Ada area since the 1950s. "We provide behavioral health services, counseling - individual and group, rehab - individual and group. We have a medication clinic which is where we have a psychiatrist that comes in and provides psychotropic medication for those who need them. Our psychiatric rehabilitation program is a day program from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. This program enables individuals to learn new living and social skills," said Terry Goodwin, executive director of MHSACSO.MHSACSO is a non-profit agency that provides mental health care and chemical dependency treatment to nine counties in South Central Oklahoma. Other services include screening and assessment, emergency crisis intervention, outpatient treatment, inpatient treatment, case management, day treatment, children/adolescent programs, aging programs, chemical dependency treatment, consultation, education, and prevention.
Editorial cartoons from Mike Luckovich.
We should call an international conference on Iraq and get the support of other countries—crucially Iraq's neighbors—for this new mission. There should then be a joint international push to get the Iraqis to make the kinds of political deals that will turn the ceasefires into lasting peace. Over the next year if the violence continues to decline, countries like India, Poland and South Africa could be persuaded to relieve American troops. With sustained and focused efforts, over time, American forces could draw down substantially. The mission could then become what it was always billed as, a genuinely international effort to assist the Iraqi people in founding a new nation.}}}} I can't believe people still take these strokers in the drive by media seriously. Talk about living in a bubble.

Marion-for-Shaq deal close
The Suns are deep into trade talks that would bring Miami center Shaquille O'Neal, "The Big Aristotle," to the Western Conference's first-place team for nine-year Suns star forward Shawn Marion and reserve guard Marcus Banks.
Several NBA sources said a deal could be imminent, but everything from the Suns' long-term finances to O'Neal's health have to be weighed before agreeing to the blockbuster move. .
Gays Want Apology For Stunt Involving Idaho's Simpson
Huckleberries Online (aka No Holds Barred and Hot Potatoes) turns 4 today. Age 4 in blog years must be like 40 in human years. Not many make it this far. Blogging is hard work. I know. I was ready to quit every other day during that first year, 2004. HBO has evolved from a politically conservative blog that started as a means to support George W. Bush's re-election bid into a community of bloggers, commenters and blurkers who generally get along despite widely different political, religious and social backgrounds. I feel privileged to be the ringleader of this three-ring cyber circus. Of course, we celebrate this ongoing experiment each year by staging an annual blogfest, which happens to fall today, on the actual anniversary of HBO. You're welcome to join us for free pizza and pop from 2-4 p.m.
