President Obama offered sympathy and encouragement to flood victims in Paterson and Wayne on Sunday and promised all victims of Hurricane Irene that federal help would be there "even after the cameras are gone and attention is somewhere else. Obama also praised the work of responders, and expanded the disaster declaration he issued last week to make every county in the state eligible for both public assistance to rebuild roads and pipelines, and individual assistance to offset uninsured losses to homes and businesses.
The numbers are disturbing. In the last year, Bedford Domestic Violence Services received 5,792 hotline calls; walk-in counselors saw 391 people; court advocates accompanied 451 clients seeking protective orders; and 34 families stayed in the shelter for a total of 1,545 nights of shelter provided by BDVS.

REDLANDS - When given only a limited time frame in which to save a patient, having appropriate medication close to home can mean the difference between life and death. For patients in Redlands and the East Valley suffering from the most frequent form of stroke, the likelihood of survival increased this month when Redlands Community Hospital began administering a drug that can minimize the impact caused by ischemic, or blood clot- induced, strokes.
HAVING two parents in a household isn't the panacea to ending poverty in Virginia or elsewhere, but there's little doubt that, in many instances, it helps. Research has shown that the stability of homes with two adults is generally more likely to provide children with a level of security and opportunity lacking in broken homes. So it's easy to see why Gov. Bob McDonnell and other state officials would pursue an initiative to promote marriage and reconciliation among estranged couples to help combat poverty across the commonwealth.
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. - President Bush on Monday pledged extensive federal help for victims of Hurricane Katrina to "get your lives back in order." The government put into effect a massive emergency assistance program that included rushing baby formula, communications equipment, generators, water and ice into hard-hit areas.

As the Great Recession grinds on and unemployment rates hover near double digits, calls to hospitals, clinics and hot linesfor mental health problems have soared, as has the number of people admitted to psychiatric wards. Inpatient hospitalizations are up by 20 percent from last year at Hackensack University Medical Center. At St. Clare's Hospital in Denville, steady 2010 rates follow a 25 percent jump in 2009. St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson treated nearly 50 percent more outpatients in 2009 than in 2007. And, in some counties, suicides are up.
Enhanced radar, computer modeling and other improved technology have increased the amount of warning that can be given before a tornado strikes. But even technology has its limits when a weather system spawns tornadoes as numerous, massive and powerful as those that struck the South last week.
People across Maine have been calling the Pine Tree chapter of the American Red Cross asking whether they can volunteer to help the victims of Friday's tsunami and earthquake. They can't volunteer with the Red Cross, Gretchen O'Grady, emergency services director for the chapter, said Saturday, but Mainers can donate to the organization or another reputable nonprofit that will deliver aid to the earthquake victims, she said.
