"We wanted to obviously provide for those people who are in emergency housing situations and provide a one-time monthly rental or mortgage fee or a one-time downpayment on an apartment someone is trying to get into," she said.
"And we want to raise awareness of all the other services and programs available to people."
The grant program was developed because of the growing need for assistance on the shoreline due in the economic downturn, according to Heather Calabrese, chief operating officer for the United Way of Greater New Haven.

Grants given by Neighbor-to-Neighbor Lifeline to other organizations will help people buy food, find emergency shelter or take care of other urgent needs, she said.
The Guilford agencies plan to help around 10 families or individuals.
Candidates will be asked to fill out an application that asks if they are renting or own a home, how much money they need and why, how many people are in their household, if they have any income, and other financial questions.links of london
"Maybe someone lost their job and they just can't cover housing for that month," Petra explained.links of london
Tammy DeFrancesco, social services director, said candidates must have been directly affected by the economy and show that they have a plan for how they'll continue paying their rent or mortgage.

Money will be given directly to landlords of chosen applicants to cover a mortgage, rental or downpayment fees one time, and all the grant money must be links of london used by December.
Lyne Landry, Youth and Family Services director, said that the groups plan to apply for another grant after this one is spent.
Until then, DeFrancesco, Petra and Landry will determine which of their agencies or other community groups can further assist the applicants by providing counseling, offering help with a job search or giving them food.

"It's interesting on the shoreline. There's such a sense that problems don't exist, and obviously we do have problems and people do have pride and it's just different," Petra said.
"If we can come together to help people get through and get on their feet again, it's good for everyone."

Ayurveda hindering HIV therapy, dump it

Advocates and practitioners of Ayurveda may be claiming that the centuries-old system has a solution for the dreaded AIDS, but the National Aids Control Organisation (Naco) is not prepared to buy any of it. It has asked all medical colleges to stop experimenting with Ayurvedic treatment on HIV patients.

The organsation feels that the alternate treatment is destroying the importance of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and other therapeutic drugs for HIV. Acting on its order, the Mumbai District Aids Control Society (MDACS) has already stalled all such ongoing studies by students and doctors at various medical colleges in the city.

"Ayurvedic treatment or any other seo company kind of immune boosters is not the mandate of Naco," said Dr SS Kudalkar, project director, MDACS, adding that Naco's letter clearly stated that the HIV patients underestimate the importance of ART and other prescribed drugs when they are put on alternate treatments.

According to Kudalkar, Naco has specified that any HIV patient, whether under the ART or not, should not be included in any such research papers.

"Very often the patients start thinking that Ayurvedic treatment is curing them but they seo company suddenly find that they have reached an advanced stage of the disease. This is mainly because they start ignoring ART while taking the other line of treatment," said Kudalkar.

This is the reason why a student from Nair Hospital, who had recently applied for a research paper on 'Ayurvedic treatment as an immune booster' for HIV patients, was discouraged from proceeding with her work. The ethical committee set up by the college asked her to switch to another topic.

"The student's research was on neem, tulsi, haldi, cloves and other such harmless items as immune boosters for HIV seo company patients. If the life span of an HIV patient can be increased through such easy techniques, then such studies should be promoted by Naco instead of discontinuing them," said a senior professor from the hospital, who refused to be named.

Another study by consultant physician and professor of medicine, Dr AR Pazare, from KEM was discontinued after Naco's order. The study which had completed one year, used an Ayurvedic drug as an immune booster for HIV patients. It had yielded positive results in increasing the CD4 count in the patients. The CD4 cells indicate the health of a person. The researchers are now seeking permission from the Centre to re-start the study.

For almost an hour Saturday afternoon

For almost an hour Saturday afternoon, about 20 young men and women stood mostly silent along a winding, tree-lined road.

They quietly sobbed and hugged each other. During their vigil, they mounted a makeshift memorial of a white cross bearing the names of their friends, "Jordan," "Carly" and "Mike" -- Jordan Daniel Cobb, 19; Carly Marie Kudray, 18; and Michael Richard Simpson, 19 -- all of Salem and all lost that morning in a single-car crash on Church Street.

"We knew instinctively to meet up and bought planks of wood and did the best we could," Michael Fmura, 19, of Salem, said about the cross. "We just wanted to show them how much we love them. Even if some of these people don't tap into their emotions, well, today they did."

State police are investigating the wreck about 3 miles north of the intersection of Routes 22 and 819, which they estimate happened between 12:18 and 5:22 a.m. A passerby on his way to work had reported seeing a 1998 Buick Skylark down an embankment near a bend and around a tree.
Westmoreland County Deputy Coroner Tim O'Donnell pronounced Simpson, Cobb and Kudray dead at the scene. A third passenger, Chad Michael Vandergraft, 18, of Greensburg was listed in fair condition at UPMC Presbyterian.
Police have records indicating phones we

re used by the crash victims as late as 1 a.m. Saturday, O'Donnell said.
Only Simpson, who was driving, wore a seat belt, police said. The teenagers had been at a party on the previous night, according to friends.
Simpson and Cobb were 2009 graduates of Greensburg Salem High School who had just finished their first year of college. Kudray graduated from Greensburg Salem this month and had planned to attend Penn State.

Greensburg Salem Principal David Zilli said the teens' deaths seems doubly tragic because Thursday was the one-year anniversary of the death of Rachel Parker, a 2009 Greensburg Salem graduate killed in a car crash on Route 119, 2 miles north of Crabtree.
Automobile accidents are the leading cause of death for the nation's teens, according oil painting to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than one-third of teen deaths are cartier sunglasses caused by traffic accidents, the CDC reports.
From 2006 through 2008, the most recent year for which data were available, auto fatalities for people ages 16-20 numbered 611 in Pennsylvania and 15,527 nationally, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The period from Memorial Day to Labor Day is the deadliest for that age group, the safety administration reports.

Simpson was studying filmmaking and history at Penn State after receiving a University Trustee scholarship.
For his senior project in high school, he produced a documentary on Fort Ligonier Days. As a little boy, he used a pretend microphone to interview family members, said his mother, Joanie.
"He talked about going to New York City," she said. "He was a great kid."cartier sunglasses
Simpson had just taken a job at The Supper Club, the new restaurant at the historic train station in downtown Greensburg.

"He thought it was a great place to work," his mother said. "He loved his bosses."
Friends described Cobb as a class clown. He was studying business at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Coy Maloy of Slickville said his son, also named Coy, was a close friend of Cobb's.
"Jordan used to stay at our house all the time," Maloy said. "He wasn't a good kid; he was a great kid."

Many mourners yesterday had worked with Kudray at King's Family Restaurant, off Route 66 near Delmont. Within the past few months, she had moved on to a job at Rick's Sports Bar & Pub, near Murrysville.
Alexis DeSabatine said Kudray was her best friend, describing them as "like sisters, almost." They became close after Kudray dated DeSabatine's brother Vince.

Kudray was a majorette in high school who was interested in studying education, DeSabatine said.cartier sunglasses
"Her smile and laugh will never be replaced," she said.
The high school will open at 9 a.m. Monday for students who want to meet with grief counselors, Zilli said.

Two former porn actresses said Sunday

they will sue the San Fernando Valley clinic that tests adult movie performers for AIDS and alerts movie companies to actors with positive HIV tests.
Lead plaintiffs Diana Grandmason and Bess Garren said the practices of the Sherman Oaks-based Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation violate federal and state laws that oil painting protect the privacy of medical records.

The actresses and other porn performers are part of a move to require adult film producers to mandate the use of condoms when videotaping sex acts that result in the transmission of body fluids. The movement is being pushed by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, a Hollywood group that has been given the services of two lawyers working for free.oil painting oil painting
The nonprofit foundation has been pushing for mandatory use of condoms in adult films since an HIV outbreak in 2004 spread panic through the industry and briefly shut down production at several studios.

Last year, a woman who worked in the adult entertainment industry tested positive for HIV. Health workers at AIM, where she was a client, said the case was an isolated one and was significantly different from the HIV scare that jolted the industry in 2004.hublot big bang
To counter the campaign for condom use on movie sets, producers have set up an AIDS testing clinic to make sure their employees are not carrying HIV or suffering from AIDS or other venereal diseases.

No one at the producers' foundation's office in Sherman Oaks was available for comment Sunday. But producers have in the past argued that the large-but-below-ground porn industry headquartered in the San Fernando Valley will dissolve - with video production going to other states or overseas - if condoms are required in videos.hublot big bang hublot big bang
The central medical data clearinghouse is the subject of the lawsuit, which is expected to be filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court, Grandmason said.

The data center "violates the privacy rights of performers in the adult film industry by allowing the producers of adult films online access to workers' health care information without the individual consents and releases required by federal and California law," she said in a statement issued Sunday. The suit also will assert that the industry's health foundation "jeopardizes the health and well- being of performers in the adult film industry by discouraging the use of condoms and other safer-sex practices known to prevent and dramatically reduce the spread" of sexually-transmitted diseases, according to Grandmason.
