I applied online. The process took 2 days – interviewed at Baker Hughes (Aberdeen, Scotland (UK)).
2 day interview including, the main interview (10 interviewers at once), logic and numeracy tests and presentation. Quite friendly interviewers and very accommodating. The 2 days also include a walk around their base to see what they do as most people who applied (including me) did know much if anything about wireline. Interview organisers try to provide a relaxed atmosphere by including making paper aeroplanes and other silly games in the tasks.
Interview Questions
- What is a wireline engineer?!! Answer Question

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Baker Hughes in August 2014.
Initial communication made by recruiter, had short phone screening then scheduled 1 hour interview the week after with HR manager and two R & D employees. Great interview, positive feedback. Had a tour round the site and met other members of the team. Didn't get an offer unfortunately, gave it to someone with more experience.

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Baker Hughes (Aberdeen, Scotland (UK)) in November 2013.
Applied online and was selected for phone interview. Was given a 4 days to prepare the interview (plenty of time), they give a choice of time and date, interview took around 20 min.
Questions were:
1) Why do you want to work for baker hughes?
2)Tell me a time when you used your technical skills to solve a problem ?
3) What was your favourite subject of your MSc, (follow up question:) what did you do to learn more about this subject?
Was asked to complete and online English test (a requirement for foreigners).
4 days later was invited to participate Baker Hughes Experience (2 day assessment):
1st day: breakfast at 6am followed by individual presentation of all candidates and assessors (12 assessors for 19 candidates. Group task 1 - building a paper plane and presenting it. Group task 2 - building a drilling tower with straws and paper with time limit. Set of individual tests - mechanical, English and numerical. Individual interview with 6 of the assessors - 2 behavioural questions
2nd day: 6h30am. Group debate. Group presentation - pretending to be recruiters trying to sell the company to graduates. Final individual interview with the 12 assessors.
The assessment is intense, the assessors are always around even at breakfast, lunch and dinner engaging in conversation. If you reach this point your CV and degree count for nothing, its all about standing out ( in a reasonable, professional and well disposed manner). Have a prepared answer for all behavioural questions you can think of (strengths, why do you want to work with us, leadership situation, problem solving situation, etc etc..) I kind of messed up in my final interview, completely blanked out.
Didn't get the job, but got a thorough feedback about my performance!!
Feel free to ask any questions ans good Luck
Interview Questions
- Final interview with 12 assessors 1 Answer
Helpful (15)Declined OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Baker Hughes (Aberdeen, Scotland (UK)) in June 2013.
A competency based telephone interview with a question about motivations for Baker Hughes role. Found out about progress to next stage after a week.
The correspondence via email was very vague and no information is given about the two day assessment center.
DAY ONE: The tests were the same to those described for the graduate Field engineer roles. Mechanical assembly of something (hint: read numbers marked on components and set out in order on table and assemble fast - don't give up even if stuck), pH test using litmus paper, you just match colors to color on box, another test to check resistance on a resistor (hint: clip on crocodile clips to both ends and set resistor to milli ohms), a measurement test of a mechanical device (hint: make sure to set measuring device to zero).
Group exercise: make a mini oil rig - you have "fake" BH money to spend on either, tape, newspaper, sticks or straws. Try and buy your materials asap as they are limited. Also you need to stick to the design of oil rig shown on screen (you can pick one design from 3)
Day two: A group presentation on baker hughes, do not waffle or make up stuff as you will be questioned on it. hint: work well in a team and be pro-active. also, prepare flipchart asap.
A dilemma exercise, where you have 4/5 color cards correlating to different options to a scenario. these scenarios are what you would expect on an oil rig as a worker (i.e. safety concerns) - how you would react to it etc. Other issues to do with management etc. You then have to stand on one side of a room to people with a diff opinion to yours and argue a case. Hint: make sure you think of BH core values whilst making decisions.
You have these "mysterious" one question interviews, they could ask you stuff like what motivates you, what you expect from a job role etc and then you speak for as long as you can and they won't say anything (really weird).
The HR team are very stuck up so if you really want the role just be as polite as possible. The response to emails leading to the event were very un-professional and they have not given anybody feedback despite emphasizing its importance on the day as you spend two whole days with them.
Interview Questions
- Be wary! a lot of the candidates I was with had contacts within the company (recent graduates/ family members) and a VERY good idea of what to expect on the two day assessment center which gave them a huge advantage. Gain as much info as possible before the event. Answer Question
Reasons for Declining
The company was very mysterious about the whole event, despite having many candidates at the event who knew exactly what was going on from internal contact. I was very appalled by the nature of the HR team, particularly the gentleman who ran the event and the lady who corresponded via email. Not had a good impression of the company what so ever. I have provided detailed info about the event so that none of you may be in any disadvantage on the assessment center.
Helpful (1)No OfferAverage Interview
I applied online – interviewed at Baker Hughes in May 2013.
Applied online. Received email to confirm phone interview.
The interview lasted for half an hour, the lady was very polite and made me feel comfortable. She asked me 4 questions about working with difficult team mates, technical issue I had encountered, what did a field engineer do in first year, why Baker Hughes and personal goal that I had achieved. Evaluation still in progress.
Interview Questions
- I had prepared for the questions that were asked. Answer Question
Helpful (6)No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ months – interviewed at Baker Hughes (Aberdeen, Scotland (UK)).
30 Mins telephone Interview. Questions were: What do I know about Baker Hughes?
Why do I want to work for them?
What motivates me?
History of Baker Hughes from 1900 onwards?
Favourite university module and why?
Name a time you had to work with someone difficult.
Give an example of a time when you had to solve a technical problem.
What are you likely to do in your first year as a graduate?
What are the core values of Baker Hughes?
Describe a time when you and another person had conflicting ideas. How did you resolve the matter?
Why should we hire you?
Name a goal that you created for yourself and how you accomplished it?
Why Field Engineering?
The telephone interview went really well. I had already prepared for most of these questions. Remember to relate your answer to the question explicitly. After 2 weeks they got back to me saying I am still under consideration. Another 4 weeks and I was asked to attend the Baker Hughes Experience in Aberdeen.
The experience was quite informative. They don't tell you anything about the activity you are about to do next. On day 1 there was: 1) Introductory presentation about yourself. 2) Talk from baker Hughes staff about the different product divisions of Baker Hughes, listen carefully. You will do a presentation on Baker Hughes as a company the next day! 3) Next there was a tour of the Baker Hughes facility, make sure to ask questions!. Afterwords there were 5 practical tests (pH meter, 2*mechanical assemblies, measurement test, electrical test). 4) A group activity where you build a mini oil rig. Remember to be yourself and that you are being assessed the whole time. The next day there is 1 more group activity on leadership and how to resolve issues. Don't be too outspoken and do not be too quite! Be friendly!
Top tip: Better product division description on their competitors website (Hali***ton!) - take it from there! Be prepared. Also, there is a group interview on day 1 and group interview on day 2 - be confident and do not give vague answers.

..or you could just be feeling the effects of the chem-trail poisoning and radiation from Japan.ReplyDelete
haha...I thought that too...I can honestly say I have experienced many of what has been outlined here...but the real question is; what's causing it? chem-trails, EMP's, Radiation or real ascension???Delete
LOL at the anonymous comment above! Fear IS the mind killer. I know that much, for certain. I ENJOY letting the truth about conspiracies fly! It's liberating!ReplyDelete
When you stay positive and keep your frequencies up there, you are protected from all their poisonsReplyDelete
The ASCENSION is taking place whether you know about it or not.....including that of MOTHER EARTH/Gaia.....she will also ascend and shake us off like sands in the wind (and for the most part, we have treated her with such disrespect for so long - we are rats of disgrace for what we have done to her) - if we do not make DRASTIC changes in the next 6 months!
WHY on Earth do you think the Cabal created the drama and crippled us, because they were well aware of this?!
LEARN ALL YOU CAN asap!!!
Wow Satan is working hard people. Who would tell you to stop worshiping God? God has no ego? you are god inside and out? Now that sound like ego worship!!! God speaks that he is the truth and the light, not ourselves. Through the Son is the only way to the Father. Repent from this old serpent who wants your soul!ReplyDelete
The religious dogma created by the Illuminati is breaking down and people are no longer buying the indoctrination by religion, education, politics, etc. Ireland told the Vatican to take a hike and more and more people are now questioning what they have been taught about everything and they are researching the origins of their beliefs, of our history, financial systems, social structures, and they are not happy with what they are finding out especially religious leaders who are not out to maintain their wealth and power.ReplyDelete
Yes, many of us are finding that the design of education, insurance, banking, social and political systems are not aligned with well-being to all. They meant for exploitation and slavery of human beings.ReplyDelete

The Free Agency Season in the NFL cracks me up. So much drama from fans and experts giving us "winners" and "losers." Of course no one really knows whether FA signings are good or bad until at least the next season plays out. For the draft, it's even longer, at least 3 years. Free Agency in the NFL has a much smaller impact on teams than in other sports. It's not like the NBA or MLB, where you can pick up one or two guys who can greatly increase your chances of winning more games. At best, you get a key role player. At worst, you blow a bunch of cap space on a non-entity.
However, that's what I like about the NFL. Teams can afford to keep players at positions essential to winning, like quarterback, while letting less essential players go via free agency. Imagine if more MLB teams could afford to keep the ace pitcher or offensive all-star instead of having to worry about trading them before their contract is up just so they can get some kind of return for them.

Swagit Productions, a provider of hosted audio/video streaming services for government agencies, has selected ViewCast's Osprey video capture cards and SimulStream software to stream government proceedings to citizens.
The cities of Galveston and Southlake, TX; White Plains, NY; and Wilmington, DE, are among the latest municipalities to implement Swagit's ViewCast-powered services.
Through a mixture of onsite streaming media encoders, management software and offsite support personnel, Swagit provides municipalities with the ability to record official meetings and events, index and cross-link content with documents for navigation, and stream the content to constituents live and on demand without the need for additional city staff.

Forum staff reports, Published January 04 2014
Fargo firefighters called to put out machine fireFARGO – Firefighters doused a small blaze in a machine Saturday at a north-side business that makes PVC pipe.
About 11 a.m., a 911 caller reported seeing smoke and flames at Northern Pipe Products, 1302 39th St. N.
Inside the building, fire crews found smoke coming from a machine used to grind plastic into small pieces so it can be heated and formed into pipe.
It turned out that ground plastic, between the grinder and hopper where the grindings collect, was burning. Firefighters took apart that portion of the machine and extinguished the fire.
Fire officials suspect that a machine malfunction overloaded the hopper system and led to the fire.
The machine sustained light fire and smoke damage. No one was injured.

Re: SKINNER
posted at 1/27/2011 10:07 AM ESTI'm not concerned about Seguin. He is learning to be a more complete player than Hall or Skinner. Stevie Y went through the same thing with Detroit when he had to become more responsible defensively. The offense will come, but the defensive side of his game will be sound as well.
Re: SKINNER
posted at 1/27/2011 10:25 AM ESTComing into this year, Richards had a points per game percent .01% better than Bergeron, with far more talent, and no where near the faceoff percentage.
I'll keep Bergeron thanks.
In Response to Re: SKINNER:I don't know but playing with Staal is not nothing. Best player in deepest draft ever of 2003-2nd pick overall, has most Gms Goals Assist and Points, but 12th in Pen mins. Seg has 3 as well, but not any playing time with any. 3rd pick Horton Gms 3rd - Goals 5th - Assists 8th - Points 6th - Pen Mins -8th 45th Berg 11th - 12th - 3rd - 9th - 45th where he was picked, imagine he does not lose a year plus to injury. 21st Stuart 38th(11thD) - 11th for D- 18thD - 16th D - 22nd(9thD) Year 2003 never ceases to amaze me of its depth, players between Stu and Berg we could have had Mike Richards, Corey Perry, Louis Erickson or we could have had the Rangers pick 12th overal Hugh Jessiman the only player in 1st round to not play in the NHL. Hall is playing with Horcoff and Penner, 2 players a lot of people would like here, but I'll abstain. I do agree Skinner and Hall are having better years and Seg has not found his groove, and he is playing peripherally(which is ok if that is his style). I for one wanted Seg over Hall, I expected a slower start of Seg from Hall but still hope that his career will be better. I really wanted Skinner last year and wanted the B's to find a way to get him last year but once again, wanted Seg more and will expect a better career here as well. Both these players play on more run and gun type teams and not for CJ, Hall plays 6 mins more and Skinner 4 mins more than Seg. Seg will be the better player.

Re: SKINNER
posted at 1/27/2011 10:26 AM ESTYou do know Skinner is getting way more ice time because the only player on the team clearly better than him is Eric Staal, right?
You know that neither Carolina or Edmonton are in the playoffs?
In Response to SKINNER:Has been added to the all star game (with the big boys) this guy plays with heart and guts same with T hall for all the people who keep making excusses for Seguin you need to watch these rookies, and some of you will say they are getting more ice time and your RIGHT!! because they earn it. Seguin has better players around him so that should leave him open more while hall n skinner are there teams go to guys and still getting it done. Point is Seguin is soft and while he has good skill you cant teach bravery and this kid is just that very scared when it comes to the dirty areas. CJ has pointed this out that he has to be willing to battle harder and go into the dirty areas more often!!! The problem is courage is something the bruins have no control over when handleing TS. The word here in CAN is that his days before plymouth he was a P#$@#y so for those who continue to make excusses for him i suggest you watch the other rookies mentioned above.... they are exciting to watch same cant be said for the segul

Re: SKINNER
posted at 1/27/2011 12:39 PM ESTSkinner is an excellent player, he was in junior and is in the NHL. So is Hall. Seguin has some awesome talent and may or may not be better than them in time but they will all be very good. But everyone who is clamoring for Seguin to play more are the same people who would be saying Julien has to go and the Bruins stink if they had lost a few more games and were on the outside looking in of the playoff picture. The league is so tight that you can't afford to let Seguin play and live with the results. Claude has to go with his best options available every night, and unfortunately that often isn't Seguin yet. And as far as getting the ice time and then earning it, there is no need for that to be the case. Brad Marchand is proof that, on the Bruins, if you do a lot with a little opportunity, you will get more.

Novozymes is scouring the world for enzymes that make industrial processes more sustainable, as Mark Peplow discovers

US scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have made a key step towards nanopore protein sequencing, thanks to an 'unfoldase' enzyme. Mark Akeson's team exploited this enzyme to unravel proteins and pull them through nanopores.
Though DNA sequencing techniques relying on similar nanopore-based processes are emerging that read longer fragments than predecessor technologies, there's no equivalent yet for proteins. And while sequencers remain remote, the researchers see similar potential in their findings. 'Protein translocation control for bench-top sequencing applications will require technical improvements,' they write. 'This is worthwhile because an optimised nanopore device could provide long reads of individual native protein strands.'
While important for biological function, proteins' secondary and tertiary structures must be unfolded to pass them through a nanopore for any attempt at sequencing. In Escherichia coli the enzyme ClpX draws proteins through a nanopore into a chamber where they're degraded. Akeson's team realised it applies enough force to proteins to break down stable folds, and pull a protein through a pore fast enough to potentially be used in sequencing. So they put ClpX on one side of a lipid bilayer containing an α-haemolysin nanopore and put folded proteins with a trailing peptide tail on the other. They put a sequence known to target ClpX on the end of the tail. The peptide tail also contained a long sequence of negatively charged amino acids, which draws the protein to the pore when they applied a current across it.
When the team applied a current, ions flowed through the nanopore and they saw the ionic current vary as a protein passed through. The changes showed that the protein moved to the pore, with the tag poking through to the other side. ClpX bound the tag and moved along the chain, forcing the folded protein against the nanopore. That force and the pore's electric field unfold the protein, allowing ClpX to pull the whole chain through. The team hope that these changes in the current could ultimately identify amino acid sequences.
'This unusually strong work has considerable potential for use in biotechnology,' says Hagan Bayley, at the University of Oxford, UK, who founded nanopore DNA sequencing company Oxford Nanopore. However, he calls using the approach for protein sequence determination 'a distant dream'. 'There may be more immediate applications such as analysing polypeptides produced by alternative splicing, an important source of protein variation,' he adds.

Drug Policy Reform at Home and AbroadPosted byon June 26, 2015 at 5:02 PM EDT
Today is the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Drug Trafficking, an annual observation established in 1987 by the United Nations General Assembly. It is an important day to reflect on the progress the world has made against drugs and the many challenges still to be addressed.
One notable example of progress is the increasingly widespread support for a public health-focused approach to the drug problem. Just a few years ago, a focus on prevention, early intervention, behavioral and medication-assisted treatment, overdose prevention, and recovery support services was controversial in many areas of the world. In fact, there was a time when the word "recovery" was not even accepted in U.N. documents. But in 2014, a U.S. resolution on recovery at the annual U.N. global drug meeting (the Commission on Narcotic Drugs) easily won approval. These discussions at the U.N. and elsewhere have led to a greater appreciation of the urgent need to reduce the stigma associated with substance use disorders – both out of genuine compassion and as a means to encourage those who need help to seek treatment.
Implementing public health policies requires a lot of hard work and an investment in building treatment capacity, including training medical professionals on how to address substance use disorders through screening and early intervention. Once medical professionals are trained to screen patients for substance use, they can identify and address problems earlier. This type of assessment can result in huge long-term savings in future criminal justice and other public costs.
Also critical to improving public health is the use of medications to treat addiction and the implementation of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) protocols. Although cultural and social stigmas regarding medications used to treat opioid use disorders persist in some places, clinical research has shown it is highly effective, reducing relapse rates and improving health outcomes significantly.
Another encouraging development is the emerging global consensus in favor of alternatives to incarceration for people with substance use disorders.
There are now over 2,900 drug treatment courts in the United States and dozens more internationally. Over the years, these specialized courts have continued to refine and improve their operations. This intervention has repeatedly demonstrated success in decreasing recidivism, driving drug use down, and reducing criminal justice costs. In addition, DTCs break down the walls that too often divide justice and health agencies, allowing them to work together toward the same goal. It is no surprise that international partners are studying these models and adapting them to the challenges they face in their countries.
In just over a decade, Hawaii's Opportunity Probation with Enforcement (HOPE) and similar initiatives operating in about 40 jurisdictions have helped to inspire probation reforms across the United States. The Swift, Certain, Fair approach reduces drug use, recidivism, and crime by employing brief, consistently applied sanctions for every probation violation. Treatment is provided to those who request it. An independent evaluation of the HOPE program found that participants – primarily methamphetamine users – were 55 percent less likely to be arrested for a new crime; 72 percent less likely to use drugs; 61 percent less likely to skip appointments with their supervisory officer; and 53 percent less likely to have their probation revoked.[1]
As the international community prepares for the U.N. General Assembly Special Session on drugs in April 2016, the United States will advocate wider adoptions of vital reforms such as these around the world.
More information about medication-assisted treatment and alternatives to incarceration is available at http://www.dpt.samhsa.gov, the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, and the SwiftCertainFair Resource Center.

How Drug Courts Make the Case for Alternatives to IncarcerationPosted byon May 27, 2015 at 11:44 AM EDT
Donovan Simmons was the type of person many judges might have written off. He had pled guilty to a series of criminal charges, including burglary, and had been sentenced to five years in prison.
But Judge David Tapp of Somerset, Kentucky, refused to write Donovan off.
Like many people who come into contact with the criminal justice system, Donovan had a long history of substance use disorders. He struggled with serious marijuana and opioid use disorders, which began as he tried to cope with childhood trauma. Donovan was ill and needed medical treatment, not jail.
For decades, science has shown that addiction is a chronic brain disease—not a moral failing on the part of an individual. So treating the disease can give people caught up in the criminal justice system a chance to break free from the cycle of drug use, crime, arrest and imprisonment.Learn more about
Community Policing and Drug Overdose: Where You Live Doesn't Have to Determine Whether You Survive an OverdosePosted byon May 19, 2015 at 1:50 PM EDT
The odds of surviving a drug overdose, much like the odds of surviving a heart attack, depend on how quickly the victim receives treatment. But access to naloxone—which can reverse heroin and prescription drug overdoses--varies greatly across the country, even though all drug poisoning deaths have surpassed traffic crashes as the most lethal cause of preventable injury. Because police are often the first on the scene of an overdose, the Obama Administration has strongly encouraged local law enforcement agencies to train and equip their personnel with naloxone.
Yesterday, the President traveled to Camden, New Jersey, a city that's taken steps to create economic opportunity, help police do their jobs more safely, and reduce crime in the process. Yet another area where the Camden County Police Department is taking the right steps is with its creation of an overdose prevention program. This program has reversed 68 overdoses since it started a year ago. Across New Jersey, law enforcement officers have used naloxone to respond to overdoses 888 times since 2014.
By engaging with law enforcement in naloxone administration, we are truly pursuing a 21st century approach to drug policy and community policing--one that combines public health with public safety.
Recently I met Corporal Nicholas Tackett, a police officer from Anne Arundel County in Maryland. Corporal Tackett has witnessed about 50 drug-related overdoses in his law enforcement career.
He knows the signs of overdose, the looks on their faces. Now, with naloxone, he has a tool that enables him to save lives. Corporal Tackett brought me to the locations where his use of naloxone reversed the life-threatening overdoses of two people. Naloxone works, and it is an incredibly important tool.
In October 2014, the Department of Justice released a Naloxone Toolkit for law enforcement. This toolkit is an online clearinghouse of more than 80 resources, such as sample policies and training materials designed to support law enforcement agencies in establishing a naloxone program.
In the past year, we have witnessed an exponential expansion in the number of police departments that are training and equipping their police officers with naloxone. They now number in the hundreds and they are saving lives.
The Police Department in Quincy, Massachusetts, has partnered with the State health department to train and equip police officers to resuscitate overdose victims using naloxone. The Department reports that since October 2010, officers in Quincy have administered naloxone in more than 382 overdose events, resulting in 360 successful overdose reversals.
The Vermont Department of Health has been distributing Overdose Rescue Kits with naloxone to State police as well as to individuals through community-based partners. To date, naloxone has been deployed 146 times across the State.
There is also collaboration taking place in rural and suburban communities. In Illinois, the Lake County State's Attorney has partnered with various county agencies, including the Lake County Health Department; drug courts; police and fire departments; health, advocacy and prevention organizations; and local pharmacies to develop and implement an opioid overdose prevention plan. As of February 2015, the Lake County Health Department had trained 828 police officers and 200 sheriff's deputies to carry and administer naloxone, and more departments have requested this training.
To build on these efforts, the President's FY 2016 Budget directs the Department of Health and Human Services to permit the use of block grant funds for naloxone purchases. It also provides funding specifically for law enforcement to purchase naloxone.
Where you live shouldn't determine whether or not you survive an overdose. So our goal is to get naloxone in every community where overdose deaths are prevalent. Combined with evidence-based prevention programs and access to effective treatment, this approach will save the lives of many Americans.

Honoring Courage and Saluting Sacrifice During National Police WeekPosted byon May 15, 2015 at 6:00 AM EDT
This week, Director Michael Botticelli joins thousands of law enforcement officers from across the country, President Obama, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Secretary Jeh Johnson and other distinguished officials in Washington, D.C. to honor the lives of officers who have gave the ultimate sacrifice.
As part of National Police Week, Director Botticelli read the names of three fallen officers at the 27th Annual Candlelight Vigil at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. Today, he will join President Obama at the 34th Annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service on the West Front Lawn of the United States Capitol.
Law enforcement officers have a profound sense of duty to serve and protect their communities. Every day, they place their lives on the line knowing they could be exposed to harm at any moment. ONDCP honors all the brave men and women who have died to protect the safety of others.
During Police Week, we also particularly recognize officers on High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Task Forces who, despite the risks, remained steadfast and gave their lives in the line of duty, including Ogden Police Officer Jared D. Francom, Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Deputy Sheriff Jerry Ortiz, Glendora Police Detective Louis Pompei
,FBI Special Agent Paul M. Sorce and Maryland State Police Corporal Edward M. Toatley.
We owe all those who we have lost, and the men and women keeping us safe today, our deepest gratitude for protecting our families, homes and communities.Learn more about

We Don't Have Time to WaitPosted byon April 21, 2015 at 10:29 AM EDT
This is a picture of Taylor Smith from Holly Springs, Georgia, with her sister, Gabrielle.
Taylor died of an overdose.
Her mother, Tanya Smith, writes:
"Taylor was a freshman, junior varsity and varsity squad basketball and football cheerleader at Creekview High School; known for her quick wit and infectious squeaky laugh, she was an avid animal rescuer, and quickly came to the defense of those she felt were treated unfairly. She was 20 years old when she overdosed in the company of friends, who subsequently dumped her body in the yard of an abandoned trailer to avoid arrest for drug possession."
Taylor might still be alive if her friends had known that Georgia, along with 21 other states and the District of Columbia, has legal protections in place that shield people possessing drugs from criminal liability if they're helping someone having an overdose.
Her mother Tanya has channeled her grief into action, pushing to make sure that law enforcement officers in her town now carry naloxone — the antidote for opioid overdose.Learn more about
Recovery Story: Patrick Kelley, Photographer to the Commandant of the Coast GuardPosted byon April 3, 2015 at 4:31 PM EDT
When Coast Guard Petty Officer Patrick Kelley met Director Michael Botticelli last November on a flight to Panama for an Interdiction Committee meeting, they instantly bonded over their similar past: Both men are in long-term recovery from alcohol use disorders. For Kelley, Botticelli's journey from alcoholic to 26-years-sober Director of National Drug Control Policy was inspiring – so much so that he decided to share his own recovery story with the Office of National Drug Policy.
Two years ago, Kelley was in a dark place. His marriage was failing, and he found himself routinely drinking to excess, alone. He was hesitant to admit his alcohol problem to his Coast Guard colleagues because he worried that admitting he had an alcohol use disorder would damage his reputation or force him out of his job.
After his decade-long struggle with alcohol culminated in one awful night, Kelley finally opened up about his substance use disorder and sought help within the Coast Guard community. He was amazed by the response: His friends and peers rallied around him and helped him into treatment. His biggest fear had been getting kicked out of the Coast Guard, but the opposite happened. He found that the Coast Guard has a compassionate, evidence-based response to service members in need of treatment for substance use disorders.
In November 2014, the U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters established a 12-step support group that helps ensure that service men and women struggling with substance use disorders don't have to feel isolated when seeking treatment.
Director Botticelli sat down in March with Rear Admiral Maura Dollymore, the Coast Guard's Director of Health, Safety and Work-Life, and other senior staff for a Coast Guard Prevention and Treatment roundtable discussion. At the meeting, Coast Guard leadership talked about the newly formed support group that helps service members like Kelley through treatment, and Director Botticelli offered his support for the Coast Guard's prevention and treatment initiatives.

'Reality TV': House of Cards Highlights the Importance of Prescriber EducationPosted byon March 27, 2015 at 7:00 AM EDT
Spoiler alert: This post discusses House of Cards Season 3.
Although House of Cards is known mostly for its political drama and manipulative characters, season three's story line about character Doug Stamper has highlighted the importance of prescriber education and the realities of relapse during recovery.
After Doug's six-month hospitalization to rehabilitate his leg, his doctor prescribes medication to address his anxiety and depression. She tells Doug she cannot prescribe him painkillers because of his history with alcohol use disorder. Yet after he falls and breaks his arm in the shower, an emergency room doctor prescribes Percocet, a mix of oxycodone and acetaminophen. Although Doug had been in recovery and attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for 14 years, the prescription triggers a relapse. Initially regulating the amount of alcohol he drinks with a syringe, Doug eventually begins drinking uncontrollably until he meets with President Frank Underwood while intoxicated and asks for help. With the help of his brother, Doug is able to get sober again and become the President's Chief of Staff.
In recent years, the number of filled opioid prescriptions has increased dramatically. Although opioid pain relievers are among the most powerful medications available and can effectively relieve suffering for many patients, they also present grave potential for misuse.
The first and most crucial step for the prevention of opioid misuse is to educate drug prescribers and dispensers. Practitioners, nurses, and pharmacists have a role to play in reducing prescription drug misuse. Unfortunately, prescribers receive little training in the risks associated with dispensing opioid pain relievers, especially for persons in recovery.
The physician who treated Doug's leg was familiar with her patient's medical history. She knew an opioid prescription would be detrimental to his journey in long-term recovery. Meanwhile, the emergency-room doctor, who met with Doug only briefly, prescribed a highly addictive painkiller without first asking if Doug had any history of substance use or disorder. As we learn from House of Cards, it is essential that prescribers receive training regarding the substance use history of patients to prevent triggering a relapse for those in recovery.
It is important to note, however, that Doug's relapse was not out of the ordinary. A substance use disorder is a chronic disease, which means that for many in recovery, relapse is not only possible, but likely. Relapse rates for substance use disorders are between 40 and 60 percent—similar to those for other chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma. Just like these other conditions, substance use disorders do not discriminate: Anyone can possess the risk factors or fall into the cycle of misuse. Relapse is never a sign of failure for any patient; rather, it is a speed bump on the road to recovery. It is essential that prescribers receive training to aid in the recovery process and make this journey as smooth as possible.
Doug Stamper is a fictional character in a dramatized television show, but his story of recovery and relapse is far from fictional. House of Cards illustrates how imperative it is for prescribers to know their patients' histories before prescribing opioids. Doug's story serves as a reminder to the friends and families of persons in long-term recovery that relapse of a substance-use disorder is as much a reality as it would be for any chronic medical condition, but that with their love and support, recovery is completely attainable.Learn more about
Commission on Narcotic Drugs Endorses Alternatives to Incarceration for Substance Use DisordersPosted byon March 26, 2015 at 10:23 AM EDT
Earlier this month, the United Nations Commission on Narcotics Drugs (CND) approved a resolution that called for justice and health agencies to work together to provide a range of alternatives to incarceration for those affected by a substance use disorder. The CND, held in Vienna, Austria, is the largest annual governmental meeting on drug issues with 53 member states. The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy initially proposed the resolution.
"A global consensus is emerging that no nation can solve its drug problem by simply arresting and incarcerating those affected by a substance use disorder," said Director of National Drug Control Policy Michael Botticelli, who represented the United States at the CND. "The United States is strongly committed to advancing strategies that bring justice and health agencies together on innovative solutions for drug-involved individuals wherever they are in the world."
The United States introduced the resolution, which emphasizes that too many individuals with substance use disorders around the world are serving extended prison sentences, but not receiving evidence-based treatment or other needed health services. Increasing the use of alternatives to incarceration and the provision of treatment for these individuals, whether in the community or in prison, supports sustained recovery from substance use disorders, promotes fairness, and reduces prison overcrowding.
The resolution encourages all countries to utilize a range of alternatives to incarceration and other criminal justice reforms that also promote treatment for substance use disorders. The health-related interventions referenced in the resolution include screening for substance use disorders, access to treatment, including medication-assisted treatment, counselling services and other behavioral health services, overdose prevention and treatment, recovery support services, treatment for HIV, hepatitis, and other infectious diseases and mental health disorders. The alternatives to incarceration and other reforms listed include reduced or suspended sentences, diversion programs before or during trial, home detention, community service, fines, victim restitution, random drug testing, and GPS tracking.
Effective combinations of supervision and drug treatment, which are a subject of ongoing research in the United States, can result in more effective crime reduction, better health outcomes and lower prison costs. These alternatives can also allow incarcerated individuals with substance use disorders to return to their families and communities, while concurrently receiving treatment and helping to break the cycle of drug use, arrest, incarceration, relapse and re-arrest.
The resolution, specifically called for the following:
- Greater collaboration between health and justice agencies on alternatives to incarceration;
- Establishment of mechanisms to "break down the silos" between health and justice agencies so they can work together better to provide health services for those under criminal justice supervision;
- Training for justice officials on the effectiveness and importance of evidence-based treatment for substance use disorders;
- Recommendation that governments review their drug sentencing practices to ensure that they allow for alternatives to incarceration for those affected by a substance use disorder;
- Collection and sharing of best practices and research on collaborations between justice and health agencies on alternatives to incarceration for those with a substance use disorder;
The full title of the resolution is: Supporting the Collaboration of Public Health and Justice Authorities in Providing Alternatives to Conviction or Punishment for Drug-Related Offenses of a Minor Nature. The following countries co-sponsored the resolution: Australia, Ecuador, El Salvador, European Union, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Israel, Lithuania, Mexico, Namibia, and Uruguay.Learn more about
Celebrating Five Years of the Affordable Care ActPosted byon March 23, 2015 at 1:56 PM EDT
Nora Zarabia faced a difficult – and all too common -- question when her 20-year-old son, Alex, was diagnosed with a substance use disorder. How was she going to pay for the help he needed?
Fortunately for Alex, Nora's health insurance – thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) – allowed him the opportunity to receive addiction treatment and care under her policy until age 26. After that, he can obtain insurance on his own that will cover his treatment needs. The ACA requires insurers to cover mental health and substance use disorder treatment at the same level they'd cover any other medical treatment. Without the care he received, Alex may not have entered recovery and gotten back on track at school, building the life he and his mom had hoped for.
As we celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Affordable Care Act becoming law, we celebrate that millions more people have health insurance than before. And that's not all there is to celebrate. The ACA establishes the biggest expansion of mental health and substance use disorder coverage in a generation. It requires insurers to provide mental health and substance use disorder benefits at parity with coverage for any other medical condition, like diabetes or heart diseases. In total, this expansion creates new opportunities for substance use disorder and mental health care for more than 60 million Americans.[i]
Research highlights an increase in utilization of inpatient care for mental health and substance use disorder services among young adults between 2010 and 2012, according to the Health Care Cost Institute.[i]
The Affordable Care Act offers a profound change for those who suffer from substance use disorders – one that has proven time and time again to save lives. Millions of Americans, like Nora and Alex, have had a burden lifted by having options and access to quality care.
The Obama Administration is committed to restoring a balance to U.S. drug-control efforts by focusing on public health to reduce drug use and its consequences. By decreasing the number of uninsured Americans and cutting costs, the Affordable Care Act plays a crucial role in connecting Americans to the resources they need.
We've made great progress: after five years of the Affordable Care Act, 16 million people have gained health coverage.
That's something to cheer about. So on this anniversary, let's celebrate opportunity and progress – for our loved ones, for our communities, and for our nation.

I have eaten here regularly over the years, usually as part of a large crowd. Thomas, Rene and all the staff can not do enough to make you feel at home. Service is always impeccable and comes with a smile and some friendly chit chat, not some stiff, crusty robotic service. It is natural and makes guests feel very relaxed.
I have never been let down by any of the many dishes I have tried from the menu here and there are always very drinkable wines of the month at very reasonable prices by Thai standards ( for the uninitiated wine is ordinarily extortionate in Thailand).
For group bookings or parties, there is also a private room - useful if you are as loud and obnoxious as our group tend to be after a few too many glasses of wine. Also if there are enough of you, Thomas and Rene are very accommodating and will provide pretty much whatever your group want as long as they know ahead of time. Our group for example have been lucky enough to enjoy all sorts over the years from whole veal racks to lobster pastas, soups with malt whiskey in ( lovely) roast beef, etc etc.
