is a source of much of my information.
It contains information about PTSD for veterans, family members, or anyone else
concerned about the issue. It also contains links to service organizations, benefits
forms, and associated documents.
The Lundbeck Institute is another great resource for information about PTSD. It can
be accessed by clicking the link below.
An excellent (in my opinion) "plain language" explanation of PTSD, particularly regarding
survivors of rape, can be found by clicking the following: survive.org
There is more information available regarding this, and other aspects of dui prevention at
the DWI research Library
This was far enough off point that I felt the need to put it here, but, a vivid example of the rate at which we, as a people,
are learning about the universe. When I graduated high school in 1990 we were all told that the sun was, scientists
thought, a giant hydrogen fueled star held together by gravity. There were, admittedly, a lot of holes in their theories.
In Feb,2007 scientists presented a NEW theory of the sun! If you have about an hour to watch this outstanding
presentation by the scientists that have generated this profound new theory it can be viewed by clicking the title below.
Thunderbolts of the Gods
Alternatively you can "goggle" the title to arrive at the same presentation.
Homelessness is another major concern for our nations veterans. In a recent article by
Thom Wilborn published in the March/April '08 DAV magazine he cites the stattistic that 25%
of all homeless people are veterans of military service. This is particularly disturbing when
combined with the fact that veterans comprise only 11% of our total population. Resources
to assist homeless veterans can be found at the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans.
Ignition interlocks are a safety device that may be used to detect alcohol prior to vehicle operation.
One source of these devices can be found here.
In August, 1971, Stanford University conducted a prison life experiment to investigate the
psychology of prison life. The experiment was intended to last two weeks, but, had to be
ended after only six days because of its effects on the volunteer participants. Their experiment
is recounted by one of the researchers involved in the experiment and may be viewed by
