Human studies are necessary to identify and classify the brain systems predisposing individuals to develop alcohol use disorders and those modified by alcohol, while animal models of alcoholism are essential for a mechanistic understanding of how chronic voluntary alcohol consumption becomes compulsive, how brain systems become damaged, and how damage resolves. Our current knowledge of the neuroscience of alcohol dependence has evolved from the interchange of information gathered from both human alcoholics and animal models of alcoholism. Together, studies in humans and animal models have provided support for the involvement of specific brain structures over the course of alcohol addiction, including the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum, amygdala, hippocampus, and the hypoth...

Although [Obama] hasn't ordered auto industry cuts himself, "the revamping of the nation's largest car company is being guided by the aclrninistration's auto-industry task force, and it follows the president's calls for a leaner, healthier industry? DowJones.com reported on May 12. The Obama administration's downsizing of the auto industry, established as a precondition for approximately $30.5 billion extended thus far in loans to GM and Chrysler (with another $20 billion in the pipeline), sharply contrasts with the lighdy-conditioned, larger bailout of Wall Street. Nomi Prins, author of It Takes a Pillage, a forthcoming book on the Wall Street meltdown and its roots in Washington, estimated that Wall Street has received $12.5 trillion- nearly 400 times more- in loans, loan guarantees a...

The Missouri economy peaked in Calendar Year 2007, but -- as with nearly all states -- Missouri is struggling against the tidal wave of the national recession. Missouri employment has been on a general decline since October 2007. According to US Bureau of Labor Statistics' data, through the twelve months ending November 2008, the state lost 23,200 jobs, a decline of 0.8%. Missouri's economic outlook over the next two years is similar to that of the nation, weighed down by the general outlook in the housing and automotive industries. Revenue forecasting is challenging under the best of circumstances, and becomes even more difficult when the questions become -- as it is for Fiscal Year 2010 -- whether a stumbling national economy will recover and when, and whether Missouri will lead or la...
