LAS VEGAS --The Reverend Al Sharpton made a stop in Las Vegas Friday night. He came to town hoping to shine a light on the AIDS epidemic in the minority community.

Rev. Sharpton's main goal at the town hall that was held at the Cashman Center, 850 N. Las Vegas Boulevard, was to get the public talking about how the disease disproportionately impacts Americans, especially African and Latin Americans.

Currently, African Americans account for 44% of all AIDS patients in the United States; Latinos account for 21%, but, both groups represent a much lower percentage of the overall U.S. population.

One AIDS patient put a face on the disease when he spoke about his own battle.

"The initial struggle was more mental and coping with the whole life change of living with a chronic disease, which is manageable, However, it doesn't take away the sting and the mental and emotional impact, said Demarkest Brooks, AIDS patient.

The town hall Friday was part of a nationwide campaign to address AIDS as a civil rights issue. Organizers and Sharpton said they wanted this event to inspire cities like Las Vegas to open more clinics so that people will have better access to HIV testing.

Two Washington High School students will compete in the statewide finals of The Constitution Project competition, scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 12, in Jefferson City.

Carrie Snee and Darcy Becker will both compete as part of an all-star team comprised of the top students in each of the three disciplines from the regional competition whose schools did not advance to the team finals.

Snee will be a member of the crime scene investigation all-star team, and Becker will be part of the trial advocacy all-star team.

The Supreme Court of Missouris Committee on Civic Education announced this week that four teams will advance to the finals, including Logan-Rogersville High School, Cardinal Ritter Preparatory High School in St. Louis and the School of the Osage in Lake Ozark. The fourth team is the all-star team.

All of these winners gave outstanding performances in their chosen fields of crime scene investigation, journalism and trial advocacy, said Supreme Court of Missouri Judge Patricia Breckenridge, chair of the civic education committee.

They also demonstrated an exceptional understanding of and faithfulness to the Constitution, she said. We are so proud of them, and we look forward to seeing first-hand their progress at the statewide finals next week.

The WHS team competed in Region 2 against Cardinal Ritter, Dixon and St. James.

At the statewide finals, both team and individual winners will be selected in each of the three disciplines. Individual award winners will receive $1,000 scholarships from sponsoring organizations.

In addition, one outstanding student from each field from each school competing this year will be declared a Constitution Fellow. Constitution Fellows in journalism will spend a day at the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Journalism; fellows in crime scene investigation will spend a day at the Missouri State Highway Patrols crime lab in Jefferson City; and fellows in trial advocacy will spend a day at the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law.

Now in its second year statewide, the Constitution Project is an intensive, hands-on competition that engages students in investigating a mock crime scene, reporting about the crime and processing the resulting case as it progresses through the system, culminating in a mock trial all under the mentorship of local professionals in the fields of crime scene investigation, journalism and trial advocacy.

WHS Students to Compete In Constitution Project Finals

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter is blaming third-world peasants for the spread of enterovirus D68, a respiratory virus that has broken out in the United States.

Coulter made the accusation in an interview last week with right-wing radio host Lars Larson. While the Centers for Disease Control disputesthe conservative claim that enterovirus spread is linked to Central American immigrant children, Larson and Coulter refused to accept that judgment, arguing that doctors are afraid to speak the truth about enterovirus because of fear of government retaliation.

The doctors are scared to death to say it for fear that the federal government will come down on top of them, Larson asserted.

Yes, and theyll get audited, Coulter replied. Ive had a lot of doctors tell me, privately, that this is totally the border surge. Which makes sense, because I fly a lot, so I used to get colds a lot.

So not surprisingly, you bring all these third-world peasants in and send them throughout the country, its not the Mexican kids dying or the Central American kids dying from this, its the Americans because they dont have the immunities, she added later.

Enterovirus isnt the only public health challenge conservatives have seized on to champion tougher border security measures. Many Republican Senate candidates, including New Hampshires Scott Brownand North Carolinas Thom Tillis, have assailed their Democratic opponents for leaving the U.S. vulnerable to Ebola border crossers.
