Tour the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site – Tuskegee, Alabama

April 30th, 2009 admin No comments

On your trip into the world of Alabama tourism you will have the opportunity to step back in time when you visit the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site and Museum. The year is 1942 and the African-American men that knew how to fly or wanted to learn to fly were finally admitted into the Army Air Corp in Tuskegee, Alabama to help with the war effort. Prior to that date they had been relatively ignored or left out of the flying world by the military. Even when they were admitted to Tuskegee they were trained in a segregated field but they wanted to fly, they wanted to help with the war and they became a valuable asset to the war effort with their skill and abilities.

Today you can visit the Museum and see the films that tell how the Tuskegee Airmen were trained and their story. You can take a tour of Hanger #1 Museum on some weekends and see what is available at the museum in regard to the planes that were flown and hear some of the stories that have been passed on from the experiences.

Although there are not many of the original members of the Tuskegee Airmen left their contribution to the winning of the war will stay with us always. Come and see how the world has changed since the days when the Tuskegee Airmen entered the war as a segregated division of the military.

Adolescent Mental Fitness

School of Psychology

As parents, we want to think that our children are normal, if not perfect . Adolescent mental health problems are more common than most people want to admit. When my Johnny started having adolescent mental health problems, I would not even admit it to myself. I figured that he was just going through a phase . Although this is generally far from the truth even in the healthiest families, learning that you have a child with a severe mental illness can be completely devastating for parents. You want the best child psychiatrist for your adolescent – someone who can be a mentor and role model as well as an excellent doctor. It has to be a decision you take jointly too. You need to balance your observations and the opinions of your teenager to find someone who they can actually work with.

Of course, finding a good doctor for him was extremely difficult. Nonetheless, when he started engaging in self-destructive behaviors, losing communication with the family and getting worse and worse grades, I knew that something had to be done . I finally faced my worst fear. My son was not usual. He was a good child, but he needed professional psychiatric care. In many communities, there is a severe scarcity of decent adolescent mental health care. Acute care was alright – there was a hospital that would take him in almost instantly – but finding the sort of long-term care that I really felt he needed was more complicated. Adolescent mental health problems often do improve within a few weeks to a few years, but that still leaves the difficulty of finding treatment in the intervening time.

It turns out that I was right . Principally, adolescent mental health disorders come in two flavors. There are the disorders that are simply the product of adolescents – anxiety, depression, and that sort of thing – and those which become active during adolescence and then don’t go away. The psychiatrist that I found was an expert in treating adolescent mental health disorders. He treated teenagers with bipolar disorder, acute anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, and many other health troubles. He really worked on a referral basis with the acute treatment clinic that my son went to, so I got his name after the first doctor didn’t work out.

If my son had had schizophrenia or some other chronic disease, the prognosis would have been quite a bit bleaker. As an adolescent with chronic anxiety and depression problems, however, he wasn’t destined to face lifelong troubles in the same way. I could tell that my kid liked him a lot, and I held him in the highest esteem. It seemed like the first good break that we had gotten since this whole ordeal began, and I was hopeful that more positive developments would follow.

Desert Divas

April 28th, 2009 admin No comments

Stories of deserts usually involve a lack of water, high day time temperatures and low night time temperatures. But the Desert Divas were a story of another type. This Phoenix, Arizona prostitution ring was discovered and broken up by authorities in August of 2008.

Desert Divas

Boss of the operation, maybe he could be called the band leader of the Desert Divas, was Paul Nichta. He hired out escorts primarily through a number of web sites. A partial list is Desert Divas, AZ Confidential, Hips Tour and Escorts in Action. Paul’s business, and thus his stable of girls, extended into New Mexico and even Pennsylvania. Desert Divas wasn’t the official name, but it’s the name that stuck.

This prostitution ring set a number of records. Desert Divas was the subject of the largest prostitution investigation in Arizona history. Many people were charged, including clients from out of state, Paul, and many of the girls who worked for the organization. As a result of this sting, three homes, a motorcycle, and eight additional vehicles will be sold at auction. Speaking about money, most of the escorts in this ring earned between $2,000 and $15,000 a night. That larger amount was possible in the form of tips.

Desert Divas hired a wide variety of girls. The age range was 18 to 40 years old. It seemed women from all walks of life became in the activities of this business which included escort services, dating services, pornography and live web cameras via their various web sites. There were even exclusive monthly membership sites where viewers could see live sex shows.

Three indictments for the men who ran Desert Divas, three of them, were delivered in September. Some charges were filed in Arizona, while some were filed in New Mexico. Racketeering was one of the main charges – it’s nothing more than engaging in illegal business activities. It’s was college newspaper ads that first got many women involved in this operation. It would start out with the web cams and legitimate dating services before moving to pornography and paid sexual services.

There’s another Desert Diva out there. She used the name Desert Diva Assistant for her business assistant service. Many people thought she was the same as the now famous case. Many people harassed her, including some fake attorneys who pretended to be searching for a cat.

It’s crazy out there. This is only further reinforced by the case of the Desert Divas.
