A church van that crashed near Vandalia, Illinois.
By Jeff Black, Staff Writer, NBC News
Five people were killed Monday when a church van carrying 11 passengers rolled over on Interstate 70 in southern Illinois, the Fayetteville County sheriff?s office confirmed.
It was unclear why the van, which had Maryland plates and was en route to the East Coast from California, flipped near Vandalia, Ill., about 70 miles northeast of St. Louis.
No bad weather was reported in the area at the time of the crash, according to the sheriff?s office.
Several people were taken to the hospital, some by medical helicopter, The Leader-Union in Vandalia reported on its web site.?
Four of the injured were taken to Fayette County Hospital in Vandalia and were in fair condition, a spokeswoman told The Associated Press. Two were taken to Greenville Regional Hospital in Greenville, Illinois, but their conditions were not immediately available.?
Eastbound I-70 was closed to traffic because of the rollover, NBC station KSDK in St. Louis reported.
According to a preliminary report from the Illinois State Police, the white 2002 Dodge 15-passenger van was eastbound on I-70 when it veered off the roadway and rolled multiple times, ejecting several passengers before coming to a stop.
Investigators were on the scene of the accident trying to determine the cause.

Apple ‘tax gimmicks’: rotten to the core or sensible business?
Two senators on Tuesday plan to grill Apple CEO Tim Cook about the company’s tax practices, which they say cheat the US out of billions of dollars. Apple says it’s playing within the rules.

Sens. Carl Levin (D) of Michigan and John McCain (R) of Arizona will put Apple CEO Tim Cook to a congressional roasting before their Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, alleging that the company shielded as much as $10 billion in profits per year through creative accounting measures which, while legal, violate the spirit of American tax law.
Apple?s tax moves are ?right at the top of the list of creative tax gimmicks,? Senator Levin told reporters Monday. ?I had never seen anything like this, and we don?t know anybody who has seen anything like this.?
Apple isn?t alone in drawing the committee?s ire: Last year, fellow tech titans Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard were the focus of another hearing on tax avoidance strategies. Apple holds some $100 billion in cash overseas.
The inquiry cuts right to the heart of several brewing debates in Washington. First are questions of equity in the tax system, where lawmakers find it hard to explain why a US-based company like Apple can negotiate a special 2 percent tax rate with Ireland for a chunk of its foreign profits, for example.
That question of tax fairness is of particular importance in today?s tight fiscal times, with lawmakers straining for ways to find new revenues in politically palatable ways or reduce spending without cutting into core government functions from military spending to the social safety net.
In the long run, the issue of how the nation should structure corporate taxation is a key piece of America?s global competitiveness, an issue often raised by tax reformers like Sen. Max Baucus (D) of Montana and Rep. Dave Camp (R) of Michigan, the chairs of the tax-writing committees in the Senate and House. They want to close tax deductions and lower tax rates for both individuals and corporations ? and shift most corporate profits earned abroad into a lower tax threshold than the 35 percent rate that hits many private sector bottom lines today.

Conductor James Levine Returns To Lead Metropolitan Opera Orchestra After Partial Paralysis
NEW YORK ? James Levine rolled onto the Carnegie Hall stage in his black motorized wheelchair and into a 6-by-6-foot mechanical podium constructed by the Metropolitan Opera.
Belted into the wheelchair, Levine and two aides waited while the podium hoisted him about 3 feet in the air and its interior rotated 180 degrees to leave him facing the audience. Given a 1-minute standing ovation, he blew a kiss to the crowd in the sold-out 2,804-seat auditorium, raised his fists in triumph and tapped his heart.
And then it was to business. After an absence of more than two years caused by a fall that left him partially paralyzed, the Met’s music director had returned.
Looking a bit like a starship captain in the commander’s chair, Levine conducted the prelude to Wagner’s “Lohengrin,” Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 with Evgeny Kissin and Schubert’s Symphony No. 9 (Great) on Sunday afternoon, the first step toward his return the Met next fall. He received a 71/2-minute standing ovation at the end.
Levine, who turns 70 on June 23, has transformed the Met since his debut in 1971 and joined Leonard Bernstein as the most acclaimed American conductors. He has been the leading force at the Met for four decades as chief conductor (1973-76), music director (1976-86 and 2004-present) and artistic director (1986-2004).
But Levine’s health began to deteriorate. He was afflicted with aggravated Parkinsonism ? a relatively benign form of Parkinson’s disease ? starting in 1994. He tore a rotator cuff in March 2006 when he tripped and fell on the stage of Boston’s Symphony Hall during ovations, and his right kidney was removed in July 2008 because of a malignant tumor. Then he had surgery in 2009 to repair a herniated disk in his back and a second back operation in 2010.
By then he was conducting from a chair and by 2011 he took his bows from the podium in the Met’s orchestra pit rather than walk on stage. He resigned as music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, a position he had held since 2004, and canceled his appearances on a Met tour of Japan that was to celebrate his 40th anniversary with the company.
Two more back surgeries followed in May and July 2011 and the next month he fell and damaged a vertebrae, leaving him with no feeling in his legs. He canceled his entire 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons at the Met, leaving the company to scramble for fill-in conductors for his many assignments.
With intensive therapy, he regained feeling in his legs and in recent months has started to walk. He said doctors are hopeful for a complete recovery at some point. But for now, he conducts from the wheelchair.
Wearing a black shirt ? the outfit he switched to several years ago ? rather than white-tie-and-tails, he seemed to have freer movement than he did before the 2011 surgeries. His upper body was strong, and the gestures he made with his left hand to increase and decrease the orchestra’s level and shape its sound were the same as the Levine of old.
His return program opened with a rendition of the “Lohengrin” prelude notable for the shimmering spaciousness of the strings in A-major. Before Sunday, his last performance had been a televised “Die Walkuere” on May 14, 2014, and his illness created a hole in the company’s Ring Cycles last spring and this that Fabio Luisi never quite filled.
Levine’s Wagner has texture and force, an ebb and flow that creates great import, yet a lightness that lets all the colors shine. In all of nine minutes, he showed what the Met had been missing.
He followed with frothy Beethoven accompanying Kissim, an energetic rendering of the G Major that never sounded rushed. The andante con moto was ominous and the closing rondo galloping. Kissim added a fun encore of Beethoven’s “Rage Over a Lost Penny, Vented in a Caprice.”
Levine’s Schubert, which followed intermission, was grand and lavish with an arch that intensified toward the conclusion. By the final ovations, Levine looked overjoyed.
He is scheduled for three productions at the Met next season: revivals of Mozart’s “Cosi fan tutte” starting Sept. 24 and Berg’s “Wozzeck” beginning March 6, and a new-to-the-Met staging of Verdi’s “Falstaff” opening Dec. 6. He also will conduct the Met Orchestra’s three Carnegie concerts.
Levine says if all goes well, he will increase his schedule in 2014-15. Many a conductor’s best work took place after age 70. After Sunday’s performance, Levine can start looking forward to his renaissance years.

Why an 87-year-old took on Donald Trump? ‘Someone had to’
CHICAGO (AP) ? An 87-year-old woman who alleges Donald Trump cheated her in a bait-and-switch scheme has told jurors she had qualms about suing the developer-turned-TV star given his power and influence.
But during testimony Monday, when she was asked why she nonetheless took Trump to court, Jacqueline Goldberg replied firmly that “Somebody had to stand up to him.”
Goldberg says “The Apprentice” star enticed her into buying two condos at Chicago’s Trump International Hotel & Tower with an offer to share profits of the entire building.
But she told jurors at the civil trial in Chicago that she felt “conned” when Trump withdrew the profit-sharing plan after she bought the condos.
Testifying last week, Trump denied the allegations. He also told reporters that Goldberg was in fact trying to rip him off.

Busch will understand if Kahne retaliates soon
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) ? Kyle Busch holds a 3-0 advantage over Kasey Kahne this season and understands Kahne may be planning some retaliation.
In fact, he jokingly told Kahne he was ready for revenge.
“I just told Kasey, don’t make it hurt too bad,” Busch said.
Nobody knows when ? or if ? Kahne will issue a payback for the three incidents he’s had this season that all involved Busch. The latest came last Saturday night at Darlington Raceway when Kahne spun as the two were racing for the lead with 33 laps remaining.
“Three times this year me and Kyle had contact and I had a chance ? capable, winning cars ? it’s disappointing on the points side and not winning some of these races,” Kahne said after the race. “Whether he hit me or just blew the air off, whatever it was, he blew his entry. I’m not sure what he was thinking on that.”
Busch shrugged the Darlington incident off as hard racing in the closing laps of the race. But he admitted Friday at Charlotte Motor Speedway that incidents with Kahne in the season-opening Daytona 500 and two weeks ago at Talladega were mistakes on his part.
The Daytona accident triggered a nine-car pileup, while the Talladega wreck collected 16 cars.
“The first two instances were a mistake, just misjudgment,” Busch said. “Last week was just hard racing. Whether or not we touched, I think that’s insignificant because I’m not racing to wreck Kasey Kahne, but Kasey Kahne did crash because of me so it’s a part of hard racing at the end of the race and I hate that it keeps being the same guy.”
Busch confirmed he’s reached out to Kahne since Darlington, and it led to him joking about retaliation. But he’s not convinced it’s coming from Kahne, who isn’t known to be hot-tempered or vengeful on the race track.
“I don’t think Kasey is that kind of guy,” he said. “But if it happens, I’ll understand.”
If it does happen, Saturday night’s Sprint All-Star Race is the perfect stage for a showdown.
The race is an exhibition only with a cool $1 million to the winner ? track owner Bruton Smith has offered an additional $1 million bonus if the winning driver sweeps all five segments. With no points or championship implications on the line, Kahne retaliating would not harm Busch’s bid to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kahne’s teammate at Hendrick Motorsports, didn’t understand why the All-Star Race would be the best place for payback.
“What’s wrong with the other races?” Earnhardt asked.
Jimmie Johnson has spoken to both drivers, and described both their moods as “frustrated” and said he could relate based on past incidents he’s had.
“Kasey’s come out on the losing end three times,” Johnson said of his teammate. “It’s not like Kyle has an issue; it’s just stuff. I had it with Kurt (Busch) and also Sterling Marlin in 2003-04. It’s no fun when it happens and you have a magnet for (another) car.”
Once a driver starts to have repeated incidents with the same driver, it can be difficult to stop, Johnson said.
“The way I’ve been able to break the cycle is you just have to consciously get away,” he said. “If it goes to the third time, it’s OK, if I see you coming I’m getting the hell out of the way. You have to try to make it stop that way.”
Busch is frustrated beyond the incidents with Kahne. He led 265 of 367 laps at Darlington but a tire problem caused him to fade at the end and finish sixth. It was the 11th time Busch has led at least 200 laps in a Sprint Cup race, yet he’s only won four of those.
“If you lead 260 whatever laps and don’t win, it’s a lost race, it’s gone, it means nothing. It is what it is,” Busch said. “On the flipside, if you can only lead one lap and lead the last one and win any race, I’d have that happen every single week. It’s all about taking home the trophy and the checkered flag, it’s not necessarily about how many laps you lead.
“When you lead all those laps it shows that you’re good, you’re team’s good, you’re car’s good and everything else, but it just goes to show you how much bad luck (Busch) has.”

American Psychiatric Association releases DSM-5

Publication of diagnostic manual culminates 14-year development process
ARLINGTON, Va. (May 17, 2013) The American Psychiatric Association (APA) today announced the release of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The manual’s publication marks an important milestonerevising the classifications and criteria of mental disorders for the first time since 1994 to reflect nearly two decades of scientific advances and clinical experience.
DSM-5 is the guidebook used by clinicians and researchers to diagnose and classify mental disorders in this country as well as around the world. The new edition is available first in print, with an electronic version to be offered later this year. Both versions, as well as supplementary publications from the DSM-5 Collection, can be ordered at http://www.psychiatry.org/dsm5.
“The changes to the manual will help clinicians more precisely identify mental disorders and improve diagnosis while maintaining the continuity of care,” said David J. Kupfer, MD, chair of the DSM-5 Task Force. “We expect these changes to help clinicians better serve patients and to deepen our understanding of these disorders based on new research.”
Organization of DSM-5
DSM-5 is different from its predecessors in fundamental ways. The revised chapter organization signals how disorders may relate to each other based on underlying vulnerabilities or symptom characteristics. It also breaks out some disorders because of greater understanding of their basic causes. As an example, the previous single chapter on “Anxiety disorders, including obsessive compulsive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder” now is three sequential chapters detailing Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders, and Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders. This move both emphasizes the distinctiveness of the categories covered while signaling their interconnectedness. (The table of contents for DSM-5 is included in Attachment A.)
Throughout the manual, disorders are framed in the context of age, gender, and cultural expectations. In fact, disorders now are organized along a developmental lifespan within each chapter; conditions first evident in childhood and adolescence are no longer set apart but integrated throughout the manual. And although DSM-5 includes several new categoriessuch as binge eating disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and hoarding disorderthe new manual will have approximately the same number of disorders as DSM-IV.
More Precise Diagnoses
Many of the changes in DSM-5 were adjustments made to better characterize disorder symptoms in terms of appearance, duration or severity. Certain conditions were combined because of the recognized overlap between some categories or, in the case of autism spectrum disorder, because the relationships among categories clearly placed them along a single continuum. In Section III, which is new to the manual, several conditions are introduced that warrant more research before they might be considered as formal disorders for the main book. Two such conditionssuicidal behavioral disorder and nonsuicidal self injuryreflect DSM-5′s increased recognition of suicidal ideation and its related issues. Their inclusion in Section III should help to determine if they have clinical utility and their diagnostic criteria can be used reliably.
The Development Process
The product of the most comprehensive and transparent development process in APA history, the new book represents the strongest science and the contributions of more than 1,500 U.S. and international experts from a diversity of mental health and medical fields. Draft diagnostic criteria were made available online as part of three open-comment periods that drew more than 13,000 responses from consumers, advocates, mental health and medical professionals and organizations. Every response was reviewed and considered by the Task Force and DSM-5 Work Groups.
“When the APA set out to revise DSM, we wanted to facilitate the broadest participation possible to ensure we captured a diversity of opinions. We also wanted to strengthen the final manual for clinicians, patients and researchers,” said Dilip Jeste, MD, president of APA. “We have achieved both goals and expect DSM to have immediate utility for clinicians and benefit for patients.”
APA is looking to make future revision processes more responsive to breakthroughs in research with incremental updates until a new edition is required. Since the research base of mental disorders is evolving at different rates for different disorders, diagnostic guidelines will not be tied to a static publication date but rather to scientific advances.
