P[acman]-Generated Fruit Fly Gene 'Library': A New Research Tool
Using a specially adapted tool called P[acman], a collaboration of researchers led by Baylor College of Medicine has established a library of clones that cover most of the genome of Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) and should speed the pace of genetic research.

Needle Exchange Program In Humboldt County, Calif., Forced To End; Officials Hoping For Federal Help
Health officials in Humboldt County, Calif., "will be watching closely" the debate expected to ensue over legislation introduced last week containing "a provision that would scrap the federal funding ban on needle exchange programs that has been in place for years," the Eureka Times-Standard reports. According to the Times-Standard, "This month, Open Door Community Health Centers" clinics in Arcata and Eureka quietly stopped administering the needle exchange program they have operated for almost a decade." Open Door Community Health Centers Chief Operating Officer Cheyenne Spetzler, said, "The footprint of the program just kept getting bigger." In addition, grant funding was often limited to covering the costs of the needles and not the costs of administering the programs, Spetzler said. County Department of Health and Human Services Programs Director Barbara LaHaie said the county is currently seeking alternatives to continue the program. However, "Without a reliable funding stream, that may prove difficult," the article states (Greenson, 7/13).

Genetically Engineered Bacteria Compute The Route
US researchers have created "bacterial computers" with the potential to solve complicated mathematics problems. The findings of the research, published in BioMed Central"s open access Journal of Biological Engineering, demonstrate that computing in living cells is feasible, opening the door to a number of applications. The second-generation bacterial computers illustrate the feasibility of extending the approach to other computationally challenging math problems.

NHHRC Report Fails To Address The Future Of Rural Health, Australia

AMSA President Tiffany Fulde said, "It is unfortunate that the Commission has been unable to highlight specific strategies to recruit and retain more doctors into the bush. We currently have a health workforce in Australia that is grossly maldistributed, with large shortages of doctors and other health professionals in rural and remote Australia." "Large increases in medical student numbers alone will not address rural workforce shortages in Australia," said the President. AMSA applauds the Commission"s recommendation to provide increased access to multidisciplinary teaching in rural and remote areas, however, believes that more incentive-based initiatives are needed to entice these students into taking rural and remote placements in the first place. AMSA cautions against the Commission"s suggestion to expand bonded medical placements and adapt them to other health degrees, as this is a quick-fix approach to a long-term problem, and reinforces the stigma around rural medicine. HECS Reimbursement schemes, preferential intake into specialty training, scholarships and access to high quality training in rural areas are all more effective, incentive-based strategies to ensure students are adequately supported in taking up rural careers. "To get these students more interested in rural and remote health careers we need to give them increased access to positive experiences in rural and remote areas of Australia." "The Commission did however provide real inroads in regards to Indigenous health, in particular in regards to recruiting and supporting Indigenous students in health degrees," Tiffany Fulde stated. AMSA believes that we need to now focus on the future of rural health and this includes succession planning for the workforce in these areas. The medical workforce in rural and remote health is ageing and the Commission has failed to produce initiatives to recruit the next generation of health professionals into this area of need. AMSA
