Alcohol retailers in the United Kingdom appear to respond to increases in alcohol tax by undershifting their cheap products (raising prices below the level of the tax increase) and overshifting their expensive products (raising prices beyond the level of the tax increase), reducing the beneficial impact of tax policies on high-risk drinkers. Link to Abstract
Among European adolescents, being able to name a favourite alcohol advertisement is associated with increased likelihood of initiating binge drinking in the following year. Link to Abstract
In Estonia in 2008-09 most autopsies of people aged 25-54 showed evidence of alcohol-related pathology but the death records failed to capture the scale and nature of those pathologies. Link to Abstract
Genes appear to play a significant role in individual differences in the propensity to experience a hangover and of being resistant to hangover at a given level of alcohol use Link to Abstract
The introduction of the Alcohol Act in Scotland in 2011 was associated with a decrease in total off-trade alcohol sales in Scotland, largely driven by reduced off-trade wine sales. Link to Abstract
A patient's decision to stop taking medications during alcohol treatment appears to happen during a weeks-long process of disengagement from treatment. Patients who discontinue medications early in treatment or without medical consultation are typically those who drink more frequently and more heavily. Link to Abstract
Participation in methadone maintenance treatment appears to be highly protective against hepatitis C infection among illicit drug users. Link to Abstract
Years of cocaine use may be more closely related to cocaine cue and response inhibition brain activation than cocaine dependence diagnosis or amount of recent use. Link to Abstract
Recent cocaine use is associated with an increased risk for sudden cardiovascular death in people aged 15-49 years. Link to Abstract
The use of online social networking sites is potentially addictive. Compulsive online social networking use seems to be connected to poor emotion regulation skills and heightened susceptibility to addiction more generally. Link to Abstract
Family characteristics and expenditure on public health at a national level may play a key role in prevalence of problem gambling among adolescents in Europe. Link to Abstract
In homeless smokers, quitting smoking may be associated with reduced alcohol consumption but not with a substantial change in other drug use. Link to Abstract
In the United States, smoking menthol cigarettes appears to be associated with reduced success at quitting smoking, especially in African American women. Link to Abstract
Both genetic and individual-specific environmental factors contribute to comorbidity between borderline personality features and substance use disorders. A substantial proportion of this comorbidity can be attributed to genetic variation in normal personality traits. Link to Abstract
Allowing electronic cigarettes to compete with cigarettes in the market-place might decrease smoking-related morbidity and mortality. Regulating electronic cigarettes as strictly as cigarettes is not warranted on current evidence. Link to Abstract
Doctors who smoke appear to be less likely than non-smoking or ex-smoking doctors to counsel their patients to quit but more likely to refer them to smoking cessation programmes. Link to Abstract
The association between early age of alcohol initiation and alcohol use disorders in later life does not reflect a causal relationship, but rather is due almost entirely to common genetic risk factors. Link to Abstract
Young people share several perspectives regarding industry-driven alcohol marketing, including imperviousness to marketing, responsiveness to price and affordability and responsiveness to marketing that focuses on youth lifestyles. Link to Abstract
A stage tailored intervention (an intervention tailored to match people's changing motivations to change) appears to be more effective than a non-stage tailored intervention for reducing alcohol use among people with high levels of drinking and low initial motivation to change. Link to Abstract
High levels of adult drinking and lax national alcohol control policies are associated with high levels of alcohol use among adolescents. Link to Abstract
Motivational enhancement therapy (MET) appears to increase alcohol abstinence in patients with chronic hepatitis C, alcohol use disorders and ongoing alcohol use. Link to Abstract
Bupropion might reduce methamphetamine use in people who use methamphetamine less than daily, but the evidence remains inconclusive. Link to Abstract
Decreases in the price of pure heroin in the United States and increases in market concentration of Colombian-source/type heroin are associated with increased hospital admissions for heroin-related overdose. Link to Abstract
Bipolar adolescents with comorbid cannabis use do not exhibit the same over-activation of the regions involved in emotional processing as seen in adolescents with bipolar disorder alone. These individuals may have a unique type of bipolar disorder or cannabis use may alter brain activation uniquely in bipolar disorder patients who use cannabis. Link to Abstract
Within a 2-year time-frame, problematic use of computer games appears to be a less stable behaviour than reported previously and not related systematically to negative changes in the gamers' lives. Link to Abstract
Multi-line games (in which players can wager on more than one line per spin) appear to be more appealing to gaming machine ('slots') players than single-line games. Multi-line games may be particularly absorbing for people with gambling problems. Link to Abstract
Differences in past smoking behaviour may largely explain the regional differences in all-cause mortality existing in 2008-10 in Poland, and its trends since 1991-1993. Link to Abstract
Motivational interviewing by lay counsellors to promote smoking cessation in tuberculosis patients in South Africa approximately doubled sustained smoking abstinence for at least 6 months compared with brief advice alone. Link to Abstract
From surveys it seems that combining 'energy drinks' (containing caffeine) with alcohol increases levels of stimulation and reduces sedation but experimental studies involving relatively low doses have so far not borne this out. Link to Abstract
Countries with stricter restrictions on alcohol advertising have a lower prevalence of hazardous drinking. Link to Abstract
Alcohol industry sponsorship of sports in the UK seems to be associated with higher levels of hazardous drinking among the university students being sponsored. Link to Abstract
The 'yesterday method' (in which respondents are asked to report alcohol consumption the preceding day) can reduce under-reporting of alcohol consumption in telephone surveys. Using this method in a Canadian survey, younger drinkers and low-risk drinkers underestimated their alcohol consumption more than older drinkers and medium and high-risk drinkers. Link to Abstract
There is a significant increase in alcohol-related hospital admissions around the time of people's birthdays. Link to Abstract
In Australia, in the first year after release, Indigenous ex-prisoners are more likely to die from alcohol-related causes but less likely to die of drug-related causes than are non-Indigenous ex-prisoners. Link to Abstract
When using their own cannabis in a naturalistic setting, people adjust the amount they roll in joints according to concentrations of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) but not cannabidiol (CBD). Link to Abstract
In Australia, imprisonment appears to be a risk factor for hepatitis C virus transmission. Link to Abstract
Evidence from problem gambling questionnaires suggests that it may be better viewed as a categorical construct rather than a continuous dimension. Link to Abstract
Prenatal exposure to maternal cigarette smoking appears to be associated with a higher probability of experimenting with drugs during adolescence. Link to Abstract
'Future orientation' does not seem to be a strong predictor of success at stopping smoking. Link to Abstract
Many smokers in the United States avoid the full impact of state excise tax on the cost of smoking by buying cartons, using generic brands and buying from Indian reservations. Link to Abstract
After the introduction of tobacco control policies in the Netherlands in 2003, smoking prevalence rates decreased among all adolescents, but socio-economic inequalities in adolescent smoking increased. Link to Abstract
Adding prize-based contingency management (where a drug-free breath or urine sample provides a chance of winning a prize) to behavioural support for substance use disorders can increase short-term abstinence, but the effect does not appear to persist to 6 months. Link to Abstract
The decrease in youth drinking in Sweden that occurred from 2000-12 occurred at all consumption levels, which is consistent with Skog's theory of the collectivity of drinking behaviour. Link to Abstract
Drinkers at all levels of consumption appear to move in concert, both up and down the consumption scale, in Finland, Norway and the United States, as predicted by Skog's theory of the collectivity of drinking cultures. Link to Abstract
The observation that people who drink alcohol tend to have higher levels of cognitive ability does not appear to be due to any causal association. Link to Abstract
Documented brief intervention in the US Veterans Health Administration was not associated with changes in drinking among outpatients with unhealthy alcohol use and repeat alcohol screening. Link to Abstract
Rates of opioid-related deaths are increasing rapidly in Ontario, Canada, and are concentrated among the young. Link to Abstract
Methylphenidate may reduce concurrent methamphetamine use when provided as treatment for patients undergoing behavioural support for moderate to severe methamphetamine use disorder. Link to Abstract
The amount of time spent fixating on cocaine-related images is a sensitive and stable measure of cocaine cue attentional bias (the tendency to attend more to cocaine-related images than neutral images) in cocaine-using adults. Link to Abstract
As suggested by the Total Consumption Theory of gambling, aggregate spending by electronic gaming machine users predicts the prevalence of gambling-related harm in gaming venues. Link to Abstract
In adolescent smokers, cigarette consumption predicts severity of nicotine dependence as defined by DSM-IV several years later. Link to Abstract
People attempting to quit smoking without professional help have approximately 60% greater odds of reporting success if they use e-cigarettes than if they use willpower alone or over-the-counter nicotine replacement products. Link to Abstract
US smokers showed very little change in their smoking status when followed between 2001 and 2005. Link to Abstract
Varenicline can aid short-term smoking abstinence in methadone-maintained smokers. Link to Abstract
The nicotine vaccine NicVAX does not appear to improve the chances of stopping smoking when given in addition to varenicline and behavioural support. Link to Abstract
The nicotine vaccine NicVAX appears to produce no significant effects on brain activity in response to a nicotine challenge. Link to Abstract
We don't yet know how to identify alcohol-dependent patients who will respond well to naltrexone, although family history and the genetic mutation OPRM1 Asn40Asp seem to be promising areas of research. Link to Abstract
On average, three to four feedback/coaching sessions over a 6-month period sustain motivational interviewing skills used for substance use disorder treatment. Link to Abstract
For people with psychosis, the most detrimental effect of alcohol consumption appears to be its effect on mood. Some of this effect seems to be reversible through drinking reduction. Link to Abstract
Opioid substitution therapy in prison and post-release could reduce mortality risk in the immediate post-release period. Link to Abstract
Opioid dependence is a substantial contributor to the global disease burden; North America, eastern Europe and southern sub-Saharan Africa are most strongly affected. Link to Abstract
Analysis of water in the sewage system can be used to measure total illicit drug use more quickly and regularly than national surveys, and creates estimates where such data do not exist. Link to Abstract
Male abstinent heroin misusers appear to be more influenced by heroin-related stimuli (pictures of heroin and heroin-related paraphernalia) during decision-making than men with no history of heroin misuse. Link to Abstract
Depressive symptoms prior to quitting smoking appear to be associated with negative emotions once the quit attempt has started, which decreases their belief in their ability to quit, increases their urges to smoke, and their probability of lapse back to smoking. Link to Abstract
Tobacco use of any kind in adolescence is associated with higher rates of substance use disorders. Link to Abstract
A higher prevalence of alcohol problem use in adolescents who are gay, lesbian or bisexual is partly explained by increased rates of depression in this group. Link to Abstract
Alcohol policies that regulate the physical availability of alcohol are associated with reduced alcohol consumption in low- and middle-income countries. Link to Abstract
Computerized brief intervention can be an effective alternative to in-person brief intervention for addressing moderate drug use in primary care. Link to Abstract
Although smokers of strong cannabis alter their smoking behaviour to compensate for the higher strength, they still take in more THC than smokers of lower potency cannabis. Link to Abstract
Among young African American men, catecholamine levels (which indicate the degree of life stress) interact positively with delay discounting (the tendency to choose smaller immediate rewards over larger postponed rewards) to forecast increases in drug use. Link to Abstract
Children under 15 who experience second-hand an extraordinary traumatic event (such as a parent or sibling being assaulted, diagnosed with cancer, or dying) appear to have approximately twice the risk of developing a drug use disorder than those who do not. Link to Abstract
Problem gamblers make poor decisions under conditions of risk and ambiguity. Strategic (e.g. sports betting, poker) and non-strategic (e.g. electronic gaming machines) problem gamblers differed in decision-making and the underlying psychological processes associated with their decisions. Link to Abstract
Smoking, alcohol and cannabis use are influenced by aggregated genetic risk factors shared among these substances. Link to Abstract
Adolescent smoking prevalence has fallen dramatically in Norway, accompanied by a smaller increase in snus use (which has many of the same risk factors as smoking but to a lesser degree). Link to Abstract
Ex-smokers in Hong Kong are happier than current smokers and people who have never smoked. Link to Abstract
Smokers who quit have progressively higher levels of physical activity in the years after quitting compared with continuing smokers. Link to Abstract
Tailored self-help messages delivered alongside routine smoking cessation support in primary care may increase long-term abstinence compared with routine cessation support alone. Link to Abstract
A significant proportion of betel quid users in Asian communities meet the DSM-IV criteria for dependence. Link to Abstract
Large amounts of alcohol are produced globally that go unrecorded. Because this kind of alcohol is typically cheaper than licit alcohol, it may contribute to higher rates of heavy drinking. Link to Abstract
Among Canadian youth, two indices of alcohol use (heavy episodic drinking and overall quantity) are more strongly correlated with each other into early adulthood than other indices of alcohol use. These two indices also together account for greater variance in alcohol-related problems in emerging adulthood than either frequency or quantity alone. Link to Abstract
Increased alcohol taxes are associated with a reduction in sexually transmitted infections, especially among subpopulations with high disease burden such as non-Hispanic black people. Link to Abstract
Moderate alcohol consumption appears to produce a tendency towards increased risk taking in deciding to drive while intoxicated, which can be mitigated by monitoring processes within small (4 to 6 person) groups. Link to Abstract
The percentage of Australians aged 14-17 who do not drink alcohol increased from almost 33% in 2001 to over 50% in 2010. Link to Abstract
Data on Norwegian youths show a link between heavy episodic drinking and deliberate self-harm. Link to Abstract
Swiss men appear to settle into steady patterns of cannabis use by their early 20s. The number of symptoms of cannabis use disorder, rather than the frequency of cannabis use, predicts cannabis-related health issues. Link to Abstract
Support for implementation of supervised drug injection facilities in Ontario, Canada increased between 2003 and 2009, but at both time-points a majority still held mixed opinions. Link to Abstract
A street-recruited group of cocaine users in Spain showed a significant reduction in cocaine use over a period of 12-24 months. High consumption of alcohol and increasing use of other psychoactive drugs decreased the probability of reducing cocaine use. Link to Abstract
Among methamphetamine-dependent individuals, paranoia appears to occur increasingly rapidly in the course of a session of methamphetamine use. Severity of methamphetamine dependence and antisocial personality disorder predicts methamphetamine-induced paranoia. A genetic polymorphism in dopamine β-hydroxylase is associated with methamphetamine-induced paranoia. Link to Abstract
Low and/or declining parental monitoring of children between the ages of 11 and 14 is associated significantly with problem gambling when those children reach young adulthood. Link to Abstract
Government-funded tobacco control television advertising shown in England between 2002 and 2010 was associated with reduced smoking prevalence and cigarette consumption. Link to Abstract
The suspension of tobacco control mass media campaigns in England in 2012 appeared to markedly reduce calls to the quitline, use of the SmokeFree website and use of booklets but not attendance at Stop Smoking Services. Link to Abstract
Time between waking and the first cigarette of the day is correlated in daily and non-daily adolescent smokers with overall nicotine, and therefore carcinogen, intake. Link to Abstract
The association between smoking during pregnancy and offspring smoking initiation does not appear to operate through in-utero exposure to tobacco. Link to Abstract
The inter-relationship between depression and smoking in adolescence and early adulthood seems to be due to reciprocal causal associations. Link to Abstract
The Healthy School and Drugs programme (a Dutch school-based prevention programme for early adolescents) had no detectable effect on alcohol, tobacco and marijuana use. Link to Abstract
Smoking bans in restaurants and bars in the United States, South America, Europe, and Australia have on average not had a detectable adverse economic impact on the hospitality industry. Link to Abstract
Having more bars in a given area is associated with heavier drinking outside the home. Link to Abstract
When mental reserves needed for self-control are reduced, men tend to drink more while women tend to drink less. Raising self-awareness may counteract this effect in men. Link to Abstract
Training trauma center providers to screen for alcohol problems and deliver brief advice may have a modest beneficial effect on alcohol use. Link to Abstract
A motivational intervention in an inpatient substance use disorder detox ward may increase engagement in 12-Step groups and reduce substance use. Link to Abstract
Drug buyers in the UK, USA, and Australia use the Silk Road for the same reasons that many people prefer online commerce (range, quality, convenience, ratings). The appeal of the Silk Road is affected by country-specific deterrents and market characteristics. Link to Abstract
Among adolescents in urban primary care in the United States, a computer-delivered brief intervention appeared to prevent and reduce cannabis use. Link to Abstract
There is a dose-related increase in violent behaviour during periods of methamphetamine use that cannot be explained by presence of psychotic symptoms. Link to Abstract
Individuals with early-onset pathological gambling (PG) are likely to be male, never married, have lower income, belong to younger cohorts, and have a lower prevalence of mood disorders but higher prevalence of cluster B personality disorders than individuals with later-onset PG. Link to Abstract
Multiple distinct CHRNB3-CHRNA6 variants are genetic risk factors for nicotine dependence but not general substance dependence in African Americans and European Americans. Link to Abstract
At least some experienced users of electronic cigarettes appear to be able to gain as much nicotine from their products as smokers typically get from cigarettes. Link to Abstract

A history of childhood maltreatment predicts persistent adult alcohol and nicotine dependence. Link to Abstract
Banning multi-buy promotions for alcohol in Scotland did not reduce alcohol purchasing in the short term. Link to Abstract
Almost 80,000 deaths could be directly attributed to alcohol across the Americas between 2007 and 2009. Most of the deaths were in men and were from liver disease. Link to Abstract
The United Kingdom's news focus on youth binge drinkers may be masking the wider issue of alcohol overconsumption across the broader population. Link to Abstract
United States college students who show a greater neural response to pictures of alcohol subsequently show larger increases in drinking and alcohol-related problems. Link to Abstract
Supervising patients' consumption of opioid maintenance medications (buprenorphine, methadone, etc.) for longer periods doesn't appear to improve patients' opioid use or retention in treatment programs. Link to Abstract
Severe childhood physical abuse is associated with an earlier initiation into drug use. Any level of abuse is associated with more extensive polydrug use. Link to Abstract
Slow-release oral morphine appears to be at least as effective as methadone in treating people with opioid use disorder. Link to Abstract
Primarily in relation to 'filotimo' (a Greek concept that regulates behaviour towards one's family), the desire to restore one's spoiled identity plays a pivotal role in Greek problem drug users' decisions to stop drug use and seek treatment. Link to Abstract
Environmental factors appear to play a greater role in the co-occurrence of problem gambling and smoking and cannabis use than the co-occurrence of problem gambling and stimulant use. Link to Abstract
Some children and young people in the United Kingdom, irrespective of socio-economic status, may actively oppose parents' smoking in the home and car, although their influence may be limited by their position in the family and social norms. Link to Abstract
Following Australia's 2012 policy of plain packaging and larger pictorial health warnings on cigarette and tobacco packs, smoking in outdoor areas of cafés, restaurants, and bars declined, and fewer people made their packs clearly visible on tables. Link to Abstract
Initial subjective reactions to tobacco are associated with later nicotine dependence and cannabis use/dependence while initial subjective reactions to cannabis are only associated with cannabis use/dependence. The associations are partly genetic, suggesting common biological underpinnings. Link to Abstract
Children who are maltreated are more likely to smoke as young adolescents. Children who are neglected are more likely to drink and smoke as young adolescents. Link to Abstract

Toxin concentrations in the vapour from major electronic cigarette brands on sale in the United Kingdom are very low. Link to Abstract
Smokers in England who try to quit are three times more likely to succeed if they see a trained advisor than if they try by themselves but there appears to be no benefit from using nicotine replacement products such as gum or patches when bought from a shop with no professional support. Link to Abstract
Rising alcohol consumption among women and progression of higher-consuming birth cohorts through the life course are key drivers of increased per capita alcohol consumption in the United Kingdom. Link to Abstract
Balance (an automated online alcohol intervention), added to a brief online screening intervention, may aid reduction in alcohol consumption compared with the screening intervention plus an educational booklet. Link to Abstract
From late adolescence to mid-life, women and men in Britain are most at risk for higher levels of alcohol consumption and problem drinking when they are not involved in family roles such as intimate cohabitation, marriage and parenthood. Link to Abstract

Among 30 European and North American countries, developing countries and less affluent youth have assumed the former (heavier) cannabis use pattern of richer countries and more affluent youth. Link to Abstract
A modification of Kendler's risk factor model for major depression provides a foundation for a comprehensive developmental model of cannabis use and cannabis use disorders. Link to Abstract
Quetiapine misuse appears to be common in people who inject drugs in urban Australia. Link to Abstract
Early-onset and continued tobacco use appear to predict the development of a cannabis use disorder in adolescence, whereas early onset and continued alcohol use do not. Link to Abstract
It appears to be cost-effective to add extended cognitive behaviour therapy to standard smoking cessation treatment for older smokers. Link to Abstract
Among Australian twins, age at first drink and age at first gambling experience are influenced by distinct unique environmental factors, and the genetic and environmental underpinnings of both phenotypes differ in men and women. Link to Abstract
Legalizing Sunday sale of alcoholic beverages in some US states during the period 1990 to 2007 was associated with a significant increase in alcohol consumption. Link to Abstract
Medication-assisted treatment programs for opiate use in low- and middle-income countries achieve an average 50% retention rate after 12 months, with little difference between those using buprenorphine or methadone. Link to Abstract
There is modest evidence that lack of adherence to nicotine replacement therapy regimens undermines treatment effectiveness in clinical studies. Link to Abstract
Alcohol-related dysfunction rather than total alcohol consumption appears to underlie the effects of non-beverage alcohol use on loss of employment in Russia. Link to Abstract
Hepatitis C virus infection is associated independently with all-cause and liver-related mortality in HIV-infected patients with alcohol problems, even when accounting for alcohol and other drug use. Link to Abstract
Of all routinely used indirect markers for chronic alcohol consumption, percentage of carbohydrate deficient transferrin (%CDT) is the major predictor of repeat drunk driving. Link to Abstract
Treatment with methadone appears to be associated with better retention in treatment for opioid dependence than buprenorphine, as does higher doses of both medications. Treatment with buprenorphine is associated with lower continued use of illicit opioids. Link to Abstract
In a cohort of opioid-dependent people in New South Wales from 1985 to 2005, almost 9 in 10 deaths were avoidable. Link to Abstract
Approximately one-third of a sample of 18-year-olds in the United States reporting non-medical use of prescription opioids appears to continue use beyond age 18 and have elevated odds of other substance use behaviors at ages 23/24. Link to Abstract
A person's belief that he or she can abstain from cannabis use underlies at least part of the association between perceived consequences of cannabis use and actual cannabis use. Link to Abstract
Family environment appears to play a role in whether young adults in general start to gamble for both men and women. Link to Abstract
Nicotine replacement therapy may be more effective among individuals with faster CYP2A6-mediated nicotine metabolism. Link to Abstract
The comprehensive tobacco control programme introduced in 2009 in Taiwan, which combined smoke-free legislation with a tobacco tax increase, graphic health warning labels and a total ban on tobacco advertisements, was associated with increases in quit attempt rate and annual cessation rate. Link to Abstract
The proportion of smokers in England with both low motivation to quit and high dependence appears to have increased between 2000 and 2010, suggesting that 'hardening' may be occurring in this smoker population. Link to Abstract

Ex-WayForward dev's Shovel Knight promised for Wii U, 3DS
Only a few days ago, Shovel Knight was announced as the first title from Yacht Club Games, which consists of several former WayForward staffers. The retro platformer challenges conventions by equipping the stalwart hero with a shovel instead of a sword, opening up some rather clever gameplay possibilities.
Yacht Club has gone the Kickstarter route to fund this project. As an extra incentive, the team promises that Shovel Knight will also be available on 3DS and Wii U in addition to the currently planned PC build. A donation of $15 will guarantee an eShop code for either version -- that's five bucks more than the $10 PC tag, but that extra dough is required to satisfy the greater expense of console development. But we will be getting hardware-specific features, so that's a plus.
Go and chip in some cash if you haven't already. These guys are some of the good ones after all. And there are still 50 spots available for that über-awesome yacht party! Better act fast!

When Skynyrd recorded "Double Trouble" 30 years ago they may not have had Johannes Wunner and Sallie McIlheran in mind, but all you visual artists had better watch out when this husband and wife photo-and-paint team comes around to your gallery. You want color? You want ironic compositions snared by a quick shutter finger? Wunner brings it, working his Leica and his Hasselblad with a boldness you know comes straight out of Freising, Germany. McIlheran, a Fort Worth native who studied painting in Vienna, watercolors with boldness too, often with bright details set against Rothko-like color fields. This Mr. and Mrs. Smith of the gallery set collaborated for a show in Marfa earlier this year, and open Bildwerke-Dallas Saturday at 5:30 p.m. at Norwood Flynn Gallery, 3318 Shorecrest Drive. The show hangs through August 15. Call 214-351-3318 or visit norwoodflynngallery.com.

- Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures
- Release Date: Jan 11, 2013
- Starring: Anthony Mackie, Emma Stone, Giovanni Ribisi, Josh Brolin, Michael Peña, Nick Nolte, Robert Patrick, Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn
- Summary: Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and—if he has his way—every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It's enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop...except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O'Mara and Jerry Wooters, who come together to try to tear Cohen's world apart. "Gangster Squad" is a colorful retelling of events surrounding the LAPD's efforts to take back their nascent city from one of the most dangerous mafia bosses of all time. [Warner Bros. Pictures/Village Roadshow Pictures]… Expand

- Genre(s): Action, Drama, Thriller, Crime
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 5 out of 38
Mixed: 23 out of 38
Negative: 10 out of 38
Gangster Squad is a gang war drama built on Western conventions, a rootin' tootin', Camel-smokin', whiskey swillin' shoot'em up.
Gangster Squad provides a welcome burst of heat and color, even if those qualities are more illusory than real and subject to a fast fade.
Typified by Penn's blustery performance, Gangster Squad is sleek, stylish but superficial. Easy on the eye, even easier on the brain, it doesn't last long in the memory.
Jan 9, 2013Despite the unrelenting action and the terrific cast, Gangster Squad comes up more scattered than successful.
The violence is so indifferently presented that it has no kick; it's not grim or graphic enough to shock, but it doesn't rev us up, either. The picture's various shoot-'em-up sequences are so generically conceived and shot that each one is indistinguishable from the next – by the movie's end, they may as well all collapse into an exhausted heap.
Though based partly on actual events, Ruben Fleischer's ludicrous shoot-'em-up plays fast and loose with the facts, and plenty else besides.
His (Fleischer) first feature, "Zombieland," was a half-witty genre parody. This one might be described as genre zombie-ism: the hysterical, brainless animation of dead clichés reduced to purposeless, compulsive killing. Too self-serious to succeed as pastiche, it has no reason for being beyond the parasitic urge to feed on the memories of other, better movies.
Score distribution:
Positive: 50 out of 75
Mixed: 14 out of 75
Negative: 11 out of 75
Jan 14, 2013Angels: This is a good gangster movie. The dialog is tough, and smart, the characters are interesting, The plot is exciting, the scenery and costumes are very stylish, and the violence is, well, very violent. What is not to like. I have an admission to make. This movie is really an 8/9, but I gave it a 10, because I wanted to raise its average to combat the 'haters'. Because of the negative reviews I almost did not go to see the movie, but my buddy out-voted me, and I am very glad that he did. Did I say that Sean Penn and Ryan Gosling knock the ball out of the park? Look, those boys really get into character, and I am a sucker for pretty boy Ryan. Now, the critics say, this movie is no LA Confidential. Which must be true, because it's called 'Gangster Squad'. A very enjoyable night out.… Expand
Jan 24, 2013I didn't know what to expect when I considered seeing this film--I was worried that there would be too much action and try to be something that it shouldn't. Gangster Squad is a heavily cliched film which does almost everything right. Are cliches all that bad? I don't think they are. A good introduction to all of the characters is key for this kind of film. The antagonist played by Sean Penn blew my mind and made me enjoy every moment he was on screen. Only problem I noticed with the introduction is that it drags on for longer than it needed to do so--taking up too much of a film which could have been longer. The mind-set needed to watch this film is that of what the classic gangster films used to be like. It's a classically designed and cliche gangster film which blew me away and only just misses out on the perfect score due to length.… Expand
Jun 4, 2013"While i was not in love with the film nor is it a masterpiece in anyway, shape or form. But it sets a good tone in its classic backdrop. Featuring some pretty good performances. The bottom line is GS is entertaining but insanely forgettable. Its just good" B-… Expand
Apr 27, 2013An unfortunate waste of such great talent. This is just an average film still entertaining, but really lacks when it comes to the script and the tone.… Expand
Feb 5, 2013The movie fails to entertain period.
The story-line is a seen it a million times before and it was done better.
Characters are unbelievable, uninspiring and dull
There are mediocre special effects thrown in hear and there like car chases and fist/gun fights.
All in all do not recommend to anyone but people who have absolutely nothing else to do.… Expand

Sparkling Orange Creamsicle

total prep
This version of the classic drink is a little bit nutritious (half the dairy is yogurt), a little bit rich (the other half is ice cream), very flavorful (equal parts orange and vanilla), and ultimately refreshing (carbonation titillates every time). This is a filling soda, and it's best served as a snack or a dessert.
Recipe from Homemade Soda by Andrew Schloss/Storey Publishing, 2011.

- Combine the orange juice, yogurt, and ice cream in a blender or food processor, and purée.
- Optionally, to mix with seltzer, pour the purée into a tall glass. Add 3/4 cup of seltzer, stir just until blended, and serve.

Marco Rubio Unsure of Age of the Earth
It's only approximately 1,140 days until the first caucuses of the 2016 primary campaign, not that anyone's counting, which means it's time to get on the road to Iowa. Sadly, Marco Rubio knows that this road sometimes passes through Ignorance, USA and he's a little too eager to make a campaign stop there, while talking to GQ…
GQ: How old do you think the Earth is?
Marco Rubio: I'm not a scientist, man. I can tell you what recorded history says, I can tell you what the Bible says, but I think that's a dispute amongst theologians and I think it has nothing to do with the gross domestic product or economic growth of the United States. I think the age of the universe has zero to do with how our economy is going to grow. I'm not a scientist. I don't think I'm qualified to answer a question like that. At the end of the day, I think there are multiple theories out there on how the universe was created and I think this is a country where people should have the opportunity to teach them all. I think parents should be able to teach their kids what their faith says, what science says. Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries.
"I'm not a scientist, man" has to be among the most honest things an elected official has ever said. It should be the title of a show co-hosted by Rubio and Bill O'Reilly, with Tides: How Do They Work? and Radioactive Dating: You Can't Explain That being the season's first two episodes. It's wholesome entertainment, if nothing else. Like a dog wearing a sweater, watching a Senator talk natural history is unnatural, but hysterical.

@presleydavis27 Gonna do a twitcam, send in some questions!
I post the link and turn my webcam on. I start to read a few of the tweets that some people sent in.
"From @Yourmom: What's your favorite dare that you've done? One time someone dared me to scare tourists so Alana and I bought goldfish and walked up to the tourists, saying "Here!" And then we would run away. One time a tourist ran after us, saying "We no want fish!" I say, recalling that day.
"From @1D_Nina: Who's your favorite member in One Direction? Hm, I never listen to them but they're amazing. They're all cute but I like the curly haired one. Harry." I say, mostly because he's the only one I remember. "Okay next question from @comeatmebro You and Harry should- Whoa. That's inappropriate. I'm not gonna read that one."
I do a couple more questions then I turn it off when I hear Stevie calling me for dinner.
Harrys P.O.V.
Sometimes I really hate haters. I shouldn't, I mean I should be used to them by now but I'm not. The only thing that gets me through the day is these videos. I read once that laughter can cure anything, so when I found videos of a funny girl on YouTube, I took that as a "sign".
As weird as it seems, I can't get her off my mind, and I don't even know her. My phone sends me a notification, telling me that she's doing a twitcam. I quickly unlock my phone, pluggng in my headphones and press the link
"From @1D_Nina: Who's your favorite member in One Direction? Hmm I never listen to them but they're amazing. They're all cute but I like the curly haired one. Harry. Okay next question from @comeatmebro You and Harry should- Whoa. That's inappropriate. I'm not gonna read that one."
My breath catches in my throat. Did she just say I was her favorite? I have been trying to get her attention on twitter for the past couple of days, but she hasn't said anything. Yet I'm her favorite. I must have shrieked or something because next thing I know, Louis is behind me, watching her twitcam.
"Who is that?" He asks.
"No one. Just this girl I watch on YouTube." I say, before quickly ripping out my headphones and locking my phone.
"Whatever Harry, I know you're in loove with this girl. You watch her videos all the time, not to mention you tweet her like, everyday." He says, before realization hits his face. "Are you stalking the poor girl Harry?"
"No! I'm just a really big fan!" I say too quickly. Man, I sound like a girl.
"Sure Styles."
I got a notification on my twitter saying: @presleydavis27 EEP! Going to Disneyland in two days!
My mouth pulls into a smirk. This is my one big chance to finally meet her. We're in california right now, why not have a little fun? I shove my phone into my pocket, before striding into the other room where the boys are. "I have a great idea for what we should do while on our break." I say, catching Louis' eye, I know he knows what I'm doing.
I'm not a stalker...am I?
I've never had so much fun writing a chapter before. Hope you're enjoying it so far! Feedback would be awesome! (:

A new online database has been added to the mix of healthcare information resources, giving the public easier access to federal reports about investigations into complaints about hospitals.The reports are public records, but getting them used to require a time-consuming Freedom of Information Act request to the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The agency keeps hospital profiles online at medicare.gov, but they're limited to such categories as average times for treating certain conditions, readmissions and patient survey results.The new database at www.hospitalinspections.org has compiled reports from the CMS starting in January 2011. It's run by the Association of Health Care Journalists, with funding from the Ethics & Excellence in Journalism Foundation. The information is searchable by state and hospital, but it's also limited.It has the results of federal inspections done following complaints but doesn't include the hospitals' responses. It also doesn't include routine inspections by state agencies. A dozen states put those documents online; Texas isn't one of them.There are 162 reports for Texas hospitals on the new site at this point.Among them are two for John Peter Smith Hospital, Tarrant County's main public facility in a network with more than 1 million patient visits annually.A June 20 report found that nursing staff didn't properly handle three patients who came to the emergency room with symptoms of heart problems and that some nursing shifts weren't adequately staffed. A June 9, 2011, report documented three violations related to the treatment of blisters on a nursing home patient with a brain injury who was brought to the ER.In an email to the Star-Telegram Editorial Board, a hospital spokeswoman said the reports had led to corrections, including more nurse recruiting, better communication with families and improved leader accountability.Texas Health Harris Methodist Hurst-Euless-Bedford had four reports listed, including one from March 21, 2012, that documented violations centered on a blood samples sent for lab testing but labeled with the wrong patient's name. The report said the hospital had 239 incidents of specimen labeling errors within a 14-month period.A Harris spokesman said in an email that the hospital took immediate steps to fix the problem and that CMS last week said the correction plans were acceptable.Making the data more readily available can help with informed decision-making. Healthcare is a service, but it's also a business, and patients should be educated consumers.

Gulf markets end positively as region breaks for Eid
Gulf Arab markets all end in positive territory as the region closes down for the long Eid holiday, with Qatar Telecom's bid for the remaining shares it doesn't hold in Kuwait's Wataniya driving growth on the Doha bourse.
August 19, 2012 8:05 by Reuters
Having announced at the end of June its desire to buy the outstanding 47.5 percent of the Kuwaiti telco's share capital, Qtel said on Thursday it had received regulatory approval for the bid.
Under the terms outlined in the statement, Qtel will offer 2.6 dinars per share, valuing the stake at 622.4 million dinars ($2.2 billion). The offer price is a 22.6 percent premium to Wataniya's share price on June 21, the day it lodged the bid with Kuwait's Capital Markets Authority.
Wataniya's shares last traded on June 25, closing at 2.2 dinars, although they would resume trading on Aug. 22, according to a bourse statement.
Investors responded positively to the news of the offer details, sending Qtel's shares up 3.3 percent in their largest one-day gain since May 10. The Qatar benchmark drew strength from Qtel's gain, advancing 0.8 percent.
"Wataniya is very strong fundamentally so it should benefit Qtel," said one Dubai-based trader, who declined to be named.
Egypt's main index rose 0.9 percent, extending gains to five sessions, as signs of greater political stability and foreign help for the country's creaking economy lured more buyers into the market.
"We are in the most stable period post-revolution after the aggressive military reshuffle diminished the risk of a power struggle," said Ahmed Abu Taleb of Pharos Securities. "It makes any kind of investor more confident he can hold positions without any surprises."
OTMT climbed 1.8 percent after main owner Naguib Sawiris sold a stake in Russia's Vimpelcom for $3.6 billion.
Kuwait's bourse ticked up 0.1 percent, extending its winning run to four sessions, defying fears the previous day's government decision to ask the country's top court to rule on law changes which threatened further political friction would send the exchange down.
Low volumes – only four days in 2012 saw fewer shares traded – helped contain any fallout from Wednesday's move.
In Abu Dhabi, the index sustained gains for an eighth successive session, climbing 0.7 percent to its highest close since March 26. Its main support was Etisalat, which rose 2.1 percent.
Elsewhere in the United Arab Emirates, the Dubai exchange edged up 0.1 percent.
In Oman, the index rose 0.02 percent, thereby narrowly extending its winning streak to seven sessions.
Bank Sohar shares were suspended from trading until additional clarification is provided on the cut-off date for its rights issues, according to the Omani Capital Markets Authority.
The bank is looking to increase its capital through the issuance of 100 million shares at the par value of 0.1 rials ($0.26) per share.
Gulf bourses will be closed for the early part of next week to mark Eid Al Fitr, the end of the Muslim month of fasting.

Don't these people have any shame?
That's the question I always hear from people during political corruption trials.
The answer is "No."
You could hear it in the defiance of former Gov. George Ryan when he took the witness stand during his trial on federal charges of political corruption.
And you could perceive it in the twisted logic Rod Blagojevich used in defending his actions.
They had good intentions, these men would tell you.
They did nothing different than any other politician.
In fact, they just wanted to help the little people.
Blagojevich wanted nothing more than to provide health care for children and cheap prescription drugs for the elderly.
Ryan repaired the state's roads and bridges and saved the innocent from Death Row.
As for the damage done to the public's confidence in government and the suffering of their own families, they take no responsibility.
Federal prosecutors pursued them like some crazed cop in a 19th century French novel, they claim.
To really understand how morally bankrupt these fellows are, however, you have to look at the "trusted" friends and aides they relied on for advice.
Many appeared as prosecution witnesses during the trials, usually after their own convictions or indictments for corruption.
These guys were sleazebags.
People who would do virtually anything and turn on anyone for a buck or a break.
And that's exactly why these people had the confidence of these two governors.
You don't put guys like that in positions like that unless you want something done that an honest man would not do.
Blagojevich to this day believes a "not guilty" verdict would somehow vindicate him.
Ryan, from the interviews I've read, still thinks he was railroaded despite a guilty verdict in his trial.
Maybe that's just human nature.
Perhaps denial is the only way a man can stop himself from walking in front of a Metra train.
Still, all of us long to see a politician take the stand and confess.
"Yes, I did it all. I was carried away by power and ambition. I didn't care about anyone else because I am a bad, bad man."
Would that really help?
Would it make you feel better to see someone cry?
Would you believe them if they did?
Blagojevich wants the world to believe he did nothing illegal. But even if that were the case, it does not mean he did nothing wrong. He does not understand that.
Politics can be a nasty business. It requires compromise after compromise, favor in exchange for favor and making deals with people you dislike to get legislation passed for the greater good.
Money is required to run for public office.
Has a stranger ever given you money without asking for anything in return?
Politicians would have you believe they know such people.
Blagojevich and Ryan would tell you they are no different than any other politician.
And sometimes the evidence does blur the line between right and wrong.
A congressman asks a governor to appoint his wife as the lottery director and no illegal act has been committed.
A sitting president uses his chief of staff to suggest the names of people he wants appointed to a vacant U.S. Senate seat and that's just old-fashioned politics.
Businessmen make political contributions and get state grants and that's all right.
But a politician better not tell a businessman they have to give a contribution in exchange for government funding.
Or if he does, he better make sure there's no wiretap on his phone.
If there's no evidence, there's no crime.
It's a shame. All of it. No matter what the politicians tell you.

After the team lost the Little League World Series to South Korea, Benton returned to Chicago without a place to live. It turns out that his "family has been homeless since June." According to ABC Chicago, "the owners of a Chicago funeral home heard about the family's plight and decided to pay their rent for an entire year." Spencer Leak, Jr., from Leak and Sons Funeral Home in Chatham, told ABC Chicago, "I would hope that this rent turns into a mortgage that turns into home ownership for them." "We want our little superstar to have a roof over his head because that's what he is," he said. "He's a superstar." According to ABC Chicago, "with Jaheim's parents both struggling to find full-time work, the family was forced to split up and stay at friends' houses." Jaheim, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, was living with his father in "homes of friends and family, one step away from the shelters and the streets." Photo: Chicago Tribune

icarus / various - Sylt Remixes
UK electronica producers Icarus hand over the tracks from their 2007 Rump Recordings LP Sylt to a host of international remixing talent, from Raster Noton's Frank Bretschneider and Coh through to Morr Music artists Isan, and a rare return to beat-based production from Type Records' main man Xela. One of the early highlights on the selection comes from Danish artist Thomas Knak, who returns as Opiate for a great abstract overhaul of 'Keet', whose beats are remodelled into head-spinning flurries of granular sound - all very far away from Knak's classic Hobby Industries releases. Up next is a Frank Bretschneider take on the same track, opting for a more streamlined, minimal (as you could probably imagine) aesthetic, pinned together by stripped down loops and surprisingly unguarded melodies. Heading into a bit of a dubstep groove Karsten Pflum cuts into 'First Inf(E)raence' with some massive snares in tow, offering a wildly different slant on the original to Xela's unexpected hip-hop angle. Our old pal John Twells avoids the sort of pitch-black drone studies we've become accustomed to in favour of BOC-like beats, brightened synth basslines and layered, harmonising vocals. It's actually incredibly poppy, and underlines both the diversity and overall quality of this fine compilation.
