A New Jersey jury on Monday awarded $3.35 million to a former nurse who blames Johnson & Johnson's vaginal mesh implant for years of severe, chronic pain despite 18 unsuccessful repair surgeries.
NJ jury awards woman $3.35 M in J&J implant suit
It's the first verdict in about 4,000 lawsuits filed against the giant health products maker based in New Brunswick, N.J. At least one plaintiff has won a lawsuit against one of the other 30-plus makers of the once-popular implants, used to lift sagging pelvic organs back into place.
The state Superior Court jury in Atlantic City awarded the compensatory damages to Linda Gross, 47, of Watertown, S.D. Her attorney said pain and other complications caused by the implant forced the former hospital hospice nurse to stop working shortly after her surgery in 2006.
The trial is to begin a second phase on Tuesday, in which the jury will consider whether to also award punitive damages. Under New Jersey law, punitive damages of up to five times the compensatory damage amount are allowed, according to the woman's legal team.
Sheri Woodruff, spokeswoman for J&J's Ethicon Surgical Care subsidiary, noted the jury did not rule against the company on all counts.
The jurors rejected a claim that J&J's former Prolift vaginal mesh implant was designed defectively. Johnson & Johnson launched Prolift in 2005 and stopped selling it last year amid mounting lawsuits.
"While we are always concerned when a patient experiences medical conditions like those suffered by the plaintiff, all surgeries for pelvic organ prolapse present risks of complications," Woodruff said in a statement.
Prolapse occurs when a pelvic organ — the bladder, uterus, vagina, bowel or rectum — droops as muscles weaken due to childbirth, aging, obesity or other factors. That can cause painful intercourse, lower backache, constipation or stress incontinence, meaning bladder leakage usually triggered by coughing, sneezing, lifting heavy objects or exercise.

Now you see it; now you don't.
Residents in Mill Lane, West Farleigh, were dumbfounded when one of the two sleeping policemen in their road suddenly disappeared.
The speed bump had been installed last year at the expense of the 10 households in the lane, who all chipped in.
But early in the evening of Monday last week it vanished, leaving a slight channel in the tarmac.
The lane is unadopted and leads from Teston Lane, just above the Teston Bridge, to Tutsham Farm.
Although the houses along the lane have a right of way, it is not clear who actually owns the lane.
A rubber rumble strip installed two years ago was also eventually chopped off at the edges so as to make it ineffective, which was why the humps were installed.
Without the sleeping policeman to slow traffic just before a blind bend, residents say the road can be dangerous.

What I learned early in my investment career is that the news media likes to disseminate a lot of inaccurate information about financial companies or blow things out of proportion. I believe that AIG will be able to beat expectations due to favorable economic conditions. I think the company will add $10-12 billion to its market capitalization in 2013 alone.
Qualitative Analysis
Source: Information pertaining to AIG came from the shareholder annual report, shareholder quarterly report, investor presentation, along with YCharts.
The potential losses AIG could experience from insurance related losses was exaggerated out of proportion. Zachary Tracer from Bloomberg cautions:
The insurer recorded $309 million of impairments in 2012 and $312 million in 2011; AIG said in its annual report last month. So-called life-settlement contracts let investors buy insurance policies from individuals and pay the premiums until those people die. The arrangement is less profitable for AIG the longer a person survives the opposite of traditional life coverage sold by the firm, in which early deaths hurt results.
I find it amusing that the financial media is hyping up losses made by its life insurance division. That somehow this could have a substantial impact on AIG as a whole. The company is a heavily diversified holding company.
Look closely at the picture above, Life Insurance represents approximately 16% of AIG's total revenue with AIG deriving a vast majority of its profit from AIG property and casualty. It is unlikely that an insurance division could represent a substantial enough of a risk to sink AIG's insurance empire. AIG's impairments will be temporary as insurance actuaries are extremely skilled at predicting mortality rates. AIG will review the data on death rates and make some minor adjustments to the underlying algorithms. This will result in accurately priced life insurance products, whereby AIG will be able to extract profits from Life insurance.
A bigger upside catalyst was the results from the property and casualty results. AIG lost $2 billion in 4Q 2012 due to hurricane Sandy implying that the $2 billion in losses are likely to be temporary. Losses like this will not be repeated going into fiscal year 2013. Had the hurricane not happened, AIG would have earned a billion dollars from property and casualty.
AIG's exposure to Europe is fairly limited with 19% of the business being exposed to European banking woes. Based on the data, it is unlikely that AIG's business would be materially impacted by European default issues. Furthermore, AIG's business activities include the Americas at 51% of revenues and the Asia Pacific at 30%.
The United States government requires car and homeowners to have insurance. The legal penalties can be stiff. Because insurance policies are bought with homes and cars, it can be assumed that if the number of homes and cars purchased increase than the number of insurance policies will also increase.
The American population has continued to grow by 3 million people a year. Population growth implies a demographic need for housing. Economists estimated that there is pent-up demand and that household formation will return to 1.2 million a year as job conditions continue to improve (unemployment rate is currently 7.9%). During 2011, only 845,000 housing units were built annually over the last four years, with demolition and destruction of homes from demolition, and natural disaster (Katrina, Sandy, etc.) Resulted in a 250,000 decrease in the number of homes on average (4-year average).
Assuming the economic predictions are correct in the United States alone 1.2 million people will be buying either homeowners or renters insurance per year. Since AIG's business activities, are concentrated in the United States, it is likely that AIG will be able to compete for and secure a reasonable amount of market share. That being the case, it is reasonable to anticipate an increase in the number of policies that AIG writes. This can be reflected in the positive earning analyst estimates of $3.35. I believe that analyst estimates should be set even higher because it's not just houses that are likely to do well, cars are also projected to do well this year.
According to Seeking Alpha Newswire:
Ford Motor company (NYSE: F) January U.S. sales of 166,501 grew 22 percent year-over-year with retail sales up 24 percent. Gains were made across the product lineup, with cars up 34 percent, utilities up 23 percent, and trucks up 11 percent for the month.
With Ford able to grow fleet sales by 24%, this is indicative that AIG's casualty division will be writing many more car insurance policies for Q1 2013. The population sample size of Ford is accurate because Ford represents 18% of the car market share within the United States. Furthermore, all automotive companies are likely to do extremely well in the coming years as demand for durable goods continues to climb. This is correlated because AIG sells insurance on cars, and for a car owner to own a car, the car owner must purchase car insurance in the United States. Since the Americas represent 51% of AIG's revenues, it is likely that the favorable economic conditions will certainly help AIG in its Q1 2013 earnings results.
Banking and insurance services have an elasticity rating of 0.56. This implies that consumers are not very price sensitive to insurance and financial products. In other words, no one goes around shopping for the lowest insurance premiums; lowest debit cards fees, highest CD rates, and etc. Assuming ceteris paribus insurers can increase premiums by 10% and anticipate a decline in demand of 4.4%. This could allow AIG room to maximize profits through price increases, on its insurance products.
AIG has been able to stabilize the cash flow it generates from its business division. I anticipate AIG to be able to grow earnings and cash inflows. I don't anticipate another major natural disaster within 2013 which should help AIG shareholders. Furthermore, I anticipate the favorable economic environment to further support AIG's cash flow going forward. I believe that the company will charge higher premiums, which could improve profit margins and erode the losses it has made in life insurance. Based on the figure below, the company's financial condition continues to improve.
The balance sheet risk seems to have been reduced over the past four years. The current ratio improved from 0.09 to 0.15 over the period analyzed. The amount of current assets relative to current liabilities has improved by 66% over the period. The linear trend line shows that the current ratio has been on an uptrend. The company has consistently increased the amount of cash on its balance sheet in order to meet its short-term obligations. This type of trend can be seen as a positive because it means that AIG is reducing its immediate risk of defaulting on its short-term obligations, which should reassure investors that AIG's financial position has been consistently improving over the past four years.
According to Schlumberger, the worldwide GDP is projected to grow at 3.5% for 2013, and 3.9% for 2014. This implies that AIG's economic environment is both stable and will continue to improve going forward. It is also anticipated that the Eurozone will exit out of recession by the end of 2014 barring any unforeseen circumstances which should keep investors optimistic on European woes despite the recent issues in Cyprus.
Technical Analysis
The stock has been on a continuous up-trend since November 2011. I believe that the stock will be able to sustain this momentum based on market sentiment and the underlying fundamentals of the stock.
(click to enlarge)
Source: Chart from freestockcharts.com
The stock is trading above the 20-, 50-, and 200- Day Moving Averages. The stock has been able to find some support on the 20-day Moving Average. The broader stock market has a lot of momentum, and I anticipate that AIG will follow the trend over the short-term. The recent sell-off that came as a result of the Cyprus scare is temporary. This is a good opportunity to buy the shares at a discount.
Notable support is $30.80, $34.70, and $37.00 per share. Notable resistance is $43.00, $45.00, and $60.00 per share.

The EPS figure shows that throughout the 2003-2006 period earnings were growing due to favorable economic conditions. Then the company was adversely affected by the great recession, throughout 2007-2009 the net income rapidly declined. AIG eventually logged the biggest loss in corporate history. During 2010, the company was able to generate a profit by restructuring the company; this involved selling business units, which inflated earnings by $17.7 billion dollars. Once the United States economy exited the recession in 2010-2012 the company earnings have improved, albeit gradually. In 2011,, the abnormal earnings of $8.60 were due to a provisional benefit from taxes worth $18.03 billion dollars. The improvements in net income for 2010-2011 were one-time events and should not be considered a part of the long-term earnings growth trend. So in essence, 2012 is likely to be the most normal year for AIG out of the past 5 years.
Source: Table created by Alex Cho, data from shareholder annual report
By observing the chart, we can conclude that the business is somewhat cyclical and is affected by macroeconomics. Therefore, one of the largest risk factors to AIG is the slowing of international gross domestic product growth. So as long as the global economy continues to grow, the company will generate reasonable returns over a 5-year time span based on the forecast (the below figure).
Source: Forecast and table by Alex Cho
By 2018, I anticipate the company to generate $11.72 in earnings per share. This is because of earnings growth, improving global outlook, product development, earnings management and continued development overseas.
The forecast is proprietary, and below is a non-linear chart indicating the price of the stock over the next 5-years.

Below is a price chart incorporating the past 10 years and the next 6 years. Detailing 16 years in pricing based on my forecast and price history on December 31st of each year.
Source: Forecast and chart created by Alex Cho, data from shareholder annual report, and price history are from Yahoo Finance.
*The period 2003-2008 were price quotes based on pre-split stock prices (multiply by 20 to calculate the price of the shares between 2003 and 2008). On 7/01/2009, the stock had a 1:20 split (reverse split).
Investment Strategy
AIG currently trades at $38.60. I have a price forecast of $47.43 for December 31st 2013. Undervalued stock will experience sudden rallies in order to fetch a reasonable premium relative to historic valuation, growth, or book value. I factored that into my price forecast, making it an important component behind the sudden jump in stock valuation despite the gradual improvement in anticipated earnings.
Short Term
Over the next twelve months, the stock is likely to appreciate from $38.60 to $47.43 per share. This implies 22.87% upside from current levels. The technical analysis indicates an up-trend. While the previously mentioned price forecast using fundamental analysis further supports the trade set-up.
Investors should buy AIG at $38.60 and sell at $47.43 to pocket short-term gains of 22.87% during 2013. This return on investment is exceptional for short-term investors.
Long Term
The company is a decent investment for the long-term. I anticipate AIG to deliver upon the price and earnings forecast despite the risk factors (competition, regulation, economic environment). AIG's primary upside catalyst is international expansion, growth, share buy-backs, and managing costs. I anticipate the company to deliver upon my forecasted price target of $159.24 by 2018. This implies a return of 312.53% by 2018. This is a phenomenal return for an insurance stock.
A higher yielding investment opportunity albeit having a higher risk is to buy the Jan 17, 2015 calls at the $42.00 strike. The call premiums trade at $4.78. The price forecast for the end of 2014 is $60.43. The rate of return if the calls expire at $60.43 is 285%, the option will break-even when the stock trades at $46.78.
The call premiums are cheap because investors who are short AIG calls do not anticipate the stock to trade near its intrinsic value over the short-term. Furthermore, the risk-to-reward is high, but so is the risk (3.5 beta).
AIG has a market capitalization of $57 billion; the added liquidity makes this an investment opportunity appropriate for larger institutions that require added liquidity.
The company has survived through many storms, like hurricane Sandy. Consumer demand for homes and cars grows giving AIG further upside. The company is growing in China which could be another upside catalyst waiting to unfold. Ultimately this is the best insurance company investors could ever hope to own.
The conclusion remains simple: buy AIG.
Disclosure: I am long AIG. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Maybe Nyjer Morgan's auditioning
Spree of bad behavior on the diamond only makes sense if reality TV is involved
Updated: September 3, 2010, 3:30 PM ETBy Tim Keown | ESPN.com
There's a chance someone put Nyjer Morgan up to all of this. As weird as he's been the past two weeks, it wouldn't be at all surprising to discover Morgan signed on for a reality show and the production company's been secretly filming the pilot over the past 10 days. Either that or the Nationals' brass decided the team needed to find a way to remain "SportsCenter" worthy in its post-Strasburg state.
If so, well played.

Attending space camp fuels goal to become astronaut
Basehor-Linwood student completes three training camps
A local teenager is a step closer to achieving his goal of becoming an astronaut.
Ian Smith, a freshman at Basehor-Linwood High School, recently returned from a trip to the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson after completing Level 3 of the Future Astronaut Training Program.
Smith said his interest in the program stemmed from his family's many trips to science museums.
"We like to take short trips on three-day weekends," James Smith, Ian's father, said. "He's always been interested in science."
Fueling his interest, Ian's mother, Laura found the training camp through an Internet search. He completed Levels 1 and 2 in previous years as they are prerequisites to enroll in the week long Level 3 camp. Each level features different stages of activities such as spaceflight simulations and shuttle crew exercises.
"In Level 1, you're basically learning everything about the systems," Ian said. "Every year, they add onto the missions and shuttle simulators."
In Level 2, future astronauts prepare for their more challenging missions, which includes flying an Advanced Flight Simulator in an actual F-101 cockpit, by going scuba diving to practice spacewalking and experience microgravity.
"In Level 2 we got to go scuba diving because that's how the astronauts train," Ian said. "It was really fun."
Students go through another advanced training session in Level 3, which includes a mission aboard the cosmosphere's space shuttle simulator the Falcon III, and then travel to Houston for two days to visit the Johnson Space Center. While in Houston, students tour Building 9, which is home to a full-scale shuttle and NASA's space shuttle trainers. The students also toured the Mission Control Center, the Neutral Buoyancy Lab where astronauts train for microgravity in a 6.2 million gallon pool and several other behind the scenes areas of the space center.
"My favorite part of Level 3 was Johnson Space Center," Ian said. "We got to go places most people will never see."
Level 3 students are also offered the opportunity to meet with NASA engineers and flight trainers during a special evening banquet. Ian said he is excited to attend Level 4 next year, which allows him to tour the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla.
Each level concludes with a graduation ceremony that parents can attend.
James said that the Future Astronaut Training Program is a great opportunity for school-aged youth to grow mentally and socially.
"It is a tremendous confidence booster for them," he said. "It teaches leadership and communication skills and they get to meet people from literally all over the country. Each year he (Ian) comes back more enthusiastic than he was before."

Head Coach: Arsene Wenger
Arsenal Football Club (also known as Arsenal, The Arsenal or The Gunners) are an English professional football club based in Holloway, North London. They play in the Premier League and are one of the most successful clubs in English football, having won thirteen First Division and Premier League titles and ten FA Cups, and hold the record for the longest uninterrupted period in the English top flight.
Arsenal were founded in 1886 and were the first Southern club to join the Football League, in 1893. They won their first major trophies in the 1930s, with five League Championship titles and two FA Cups. After a lean period in the post-war years they became the second club of the 20th century to win the League and FA Cup Double in 1970–71, and during the past twenty years have recorded a series of successes – in this time Arsenal have won a Cup Double, two further League and FA Cup Doubles, the Premier League title unbeaten, and became the first London club to reach the UEFA Champions League Final.
Head Coach: Alan Pardew
Newcastle United Football Club (also known as The Magpies or The Toon, and often abbreviated to NUFC) is an English professional association football club based in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear. The club was founded in 1892 by the merger of Newcastle East End and Newcastle West End, and has played at its current home ground, St James' Park, since the merger. The ground was developed into an all-seater stadium in the 1990s and now has a capacity 52,339. The club has been a member of the Premier League for all but two years of the competition's history, and never dropped below the English football's second tier, since joining the Football League in 1893. In 2007, long term chairman and owner Freddy Shepherd sold his share in the club to Mike Ashley.
They have won four First Division titles and six FA Cups in their long history, as well as the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup and the 2006 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Newcastle United has the eighth highest total of major honours won by an English club.The club's most successful period was between 1904 and 1910, when they won and FA Cup and three of their First Division titles.
They have a fierce local rivalry with Sunderland, and the two clubs have engaged in the Tyne–Wear derby since 1898. The club's traditional kit colours are black and white striped shirts, black shorts and black socks. Their traditional crest takes elements of the city coat of arms which features two seahorses.
Capacity: 60,355The Emirates Stadium, commonly referred to as the Emirates, is a football stadium located in Holloway in the London Borough of Islington, and has served as the home of Arsenal Football Club since it opened in July 2006. The stadium has an all seated capacity of 60,355, making it the fifth largest football stadium in the United Kingdom, and the third largest stadium of any kind in London, after Wembley and Twickenham. It was initially known as Ashburton Grove after the road it was located on, before a naming rights deal with the airline Emirates was struck in October 2004. The project cost £430 million, including the cost of the associated infrastructure.

Joe Dumars wanted to make one thing clear on Friday afternoon. The Detroit Pistons love their new rookies, as every team does today, but they won't be putting a 2013 playoff run on the backs of Andre Drummond, Khris Middleton and Kim English. "The expectations of what we do as a team this season will not land on the shoulders of these three rookies," Dumars said as the players were introduced at the team's practice facility. "We're going to push them, just like we push everyone on our roster, but we're not going to throw them out there with unrealistic expectations." Lawrence Frank agreed, saying that he wouldn't even know what he had to work with until he saw the trio practicing, but was happy to share the podium with those three specific players. "If you read what the draft experts have to say about a player, they always focus on what the guy can't do," he said. "Joe and his team always look for what a player can do, and how he can help our team. These are three men that we fe...

The Complete Handbook of Home Brewingby Dave Miller
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Tastes in beer have changed as Americans have come to know and love the robust flavors of international beers. And connoisseurs agree that quality beers can be brewed right at home — a hobby that can quickly become a passion. With The Complete Handbook of Home Brewing the beginner or veteran can learn to brew a range of fine lager beers and ales — from the Trappist ales of Belgium and the stouts and porters of Ireland and Great Britain, to the pilsners that are the predecessors of American beers.
The author's clear and lively presentation makes this complex, technical subject fascinating. In his words: "Brewing is complicated in its details but simple in practice, and there is no magic involved. Ordinary people were doing it for centuries before it became the province of specialists, and now, thanks to modern science, we can turn out better, more consistently flavorful beers than our ancestors would have thought possible."
This book is a practical guide to brewing good beer at home and gives you a full understanding of the brewing process. Equipment, materials, and the procedures to follow for successful home brewing are full described. The book concludes with a section that shows how to make beers to suit your own taste, including fifty-five of the author's tested recipes for classic ales and lagers.
There are three essential ingredients for successful homebrewing: patience, motivation, and this book. Includes 55 recipes for classic ales and lagers as well as equipment, materials, and procedures information.
Includes 55 recipes for classic ales and lagers as well as equipment, materials, and procedures information. 103,000 copies in print.

I agree with this man.
Realism doesn't always equal fun, and anybody obsessed with it should go do the real thing because it sure as hell doesn't get any more real than that. Maybe it's because I started gaming back when arcades were still around games only had two dimensions, but I find that arcade games (or games with a good mix of realistic and arcade aspects) often offer the most
. Games that are just fun because they are, and to the majority of people, too. Not just to some small niche section of gamers that apparently love driving games in which they have to worry about the quality of their fuel mixture. This isn't to say that I don't enjoy games that try and be realistic, it just means that there are room for both arcade and realistic games in my collection.
I honestly hope games never become
realistic, because if they do they won't be games anymore so much as they would simply be simulators. Too much focus on realism tends to break down core gameplay dynamics and good game design, because if you haven't noticed: Real life isn't a game. Introducing more of the real world into gaming is both a curse and a blessing, it'll give you more enjoyment if handled properly, but it can take a lot more away if it's not.
I could go on, but this alone will most likely bring on countless flames by legions of small-minded individuals. Most of whom will likely turn into the stereotypical PC snobs and make some snooty comment about how I should go buy a console and play my stupid "kiddy" arcade games while the "real gamers" play their magnificent life simulators instead of really doing the things they apparently love so much.

U.S. detains fewer juveniles
Tennessee leads nation with 66% decline in 15 years
The rate of juvenile detention has fallen to its lowest national level in 35 years, with all but a half-dozen states indicating they are confining a smaller share of their youths, a new analysis of federal statistics shows.
"Reducing Youth Incarceration in the U.S.," released by the private Annie E. Casey Foundation in Baltimore, Md., shows a significant decline over a 15-year period in confinement of people younger than age 21. Lockups peaked in 1995, with 107,637 young people behind bars on a single day; by 2010, that number had fallen to 70,792 on a comparable day. Over that period, the detention rate dropped from 381 per 100,000 youths to 225 per 100,000, according to data drawn from the U.S. Census Bureau's Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement.
The decline "is very significant because America is not a country, over the past while, that has done anything but build up its incarcerated population," said Bart Lubow, director of the Casey Foundation's juvenile justice strategy group.
The findings reflect a trend toward treating youthful infractions less harshly than in the past. That approach conforms with scientific research showing that as their brains mature, youths develop better mastery of executive function — meaning they can more easily control destructive impulses.
Most youths are held for nonviolent offenses such as running away from home or violating curfew — status offenses that would not be considered illegal if committed by someone 18 years old or older.
Lubow described the decline as "an absolute and radical sea change. We think it's a highly important social development that has largely gone on under the radar."
Forty-four states and the District of Columbia have reduced their confinement rates. Tennessee showed the biggest change, with a 66 percent decline in confinement rates — from 347 per 100,000 to 117 per 100,000 — between 1997 and 2010. Rates fell significantly in other states, too: in Arizona, by 57 percent; California, 48 percent; Michigan, 44 percent; Texas, 35 percent; and Ohio, 31 percent.
Mississippi's rate declined by 50 percent, from 210 to 105 per 100,000. Arkansas' confinement rate rose by 20 percent, from 192 to 230 per 100,000. The five other states whose confinement rates rose were Idaho, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and West Virginia.
At the same time, violence committed by youths went down significantly.
Since hitting "a historic height" in 1994, arrest rates for juveniles involved in violent crime fell by 55 percent in 2010, the federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention reported. The rate dropped from 497 to 225 arrests per 100,000 youths over that period. OJJDP's count includes youths ages 10 through 17.
But juvenile justice systems still treat children of color more punitively than white youths. The Casey analysis found African-American youths are still "nearly five times more likely to be confined than their white peers. Latino and American Indian youth are between two and three times more likely to be confined."
Mark Soler, executive director of the Washington-based Center for Children's Law and Policy, said Casey's advocacy for alternatives to juvenile detention has been "probably the most effective" single tool in widespread reforms.
Soler credits both the Casey Foundation and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation for their complementary and sometimes overlapping approaches to advocating for a reduction in unnecessary detentions without jeopardizing public safety. (Soler's organization has received funding from both.) While Casey has focused largely on detention policy, MacArthur has concentrated on access to mental heath care, the age of criminal responsibility, and racial and ethnic disparities.
The Casey Foundation, which sees wholesale incarceration as counterproductive, provides technical assistance to about 200 jurisdictions nationwide that are attempting to incorporate its approach into their juvenile justice systems.
Tennessee's largest juvenile justice program is one of them. Overseen by Juvenile Court Judge Curtis C. Person since 2006, the Juvenile Court of Memphis and Shelby County has three initiatives aimed at keeping all but the most serious offenders out of lockup.
The first began in 2008, when police were given the discretion to decide whether to take students into custody. Before that, school principals could bring in police — and have youngsters taken away — for almost any reason.
Person recalled "being in the detention area one day when law enforcement brought a young man in," because, as an officer told Person, "he wouldn't tuck his shirttail in."
Now, when students are accused of disorderly conduct, criminal trespass, assault without injury or gambling, schools are encouraged to handle the matter on site. Transports for those offenses are down more than 50 percent since the change went into effect, Person said.
Under Tennessee law, a juvenile's delinquent acts are not crimes.
Another effort, begun in 2010, lets police use their discretion to write summonses for seven offenses, including theft under $500 and simple possession of marijuana, for future court dates. That has reduced transports to juvenile facilities by 70 percent over that period, Person said.
A third initiative assesses risk at an initial screening, leading many youths without prior court records or weapons offenses to be granted immediate release.
Soler, who works with Memphis and Shelby County, hopes to see the local Juvenile Court's Casey initiative coordinated with a recent consent degree Shelby County entered into with the U.S. Department of Justice aimed at ending discrimination against African-American youngsters, who have historically received harsher treatment from juvenile authorities there.
The Casey report recommends five steps to accelerate the drop in youth detention, including restricting incarceration only to those "who pose a demonstrable risk to public safety" and upending the financial incentives for correctional placement. "The recent de-incarceration trend provides a unique opportunity to implement responses to delinquency that are more cost-effective and humane, and that provide better outcomes for youth, their families and communities," it said.
Other larger societal factors underline the new focus on science and effectiveness in juvenile justice.
In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that capital punishment for offenses committed before age 18 was unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment. At the time, 20 states permitted such executions, including Mississippi and Arkansas.
Last June, a similar 5-4 majority found life sentences without the possibility of parole for those charged before their 18th birthdays to be cruel and unusual. At the time, 28 states mandated life without parole for youths convicted of murder; Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas all had juveniles serving life without parole.

Originally written on The Sports Bank | Last updated 11/4/12
If the NFL playoffs were to start next week, today's 1 p.m. matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the Miami Dolphins, both 4-3, would decide a wild-card spot. The two franchises were a combined 8-24 in 2011. But their surprising presences in the postseason conversation — albeit in a weakened AFC — go to show that the nature of the NFL game (and impressive rookie quarterbacks) allow for such turnarounds if a team has underrated talent elsewhere on its roster. That is the case with these two clubs, who according to NFL.com will participate in the first-ever meeting between two top-10 draft-pick quarterbacks with winning records at this point in their rookie seasons. The Dolphins, who have been trying to find Dan Marino's successor since the iconic quarterback retired following the 1999 season, appear to have hope with Ryan Tannehill, although the rookie from Texas A&M is questionable to play today due to a knee injury he sustained last week during Miami's victory against the...

Hogwood, J.; (2010) The disclosure dilemma: the experience of adolescents with perinatally acquired HIV. Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).
Full text not available from this repository.
This thesis involves three sections exploring disclosure amongst adolescents with HIV. Part one is a literature review examining the current literature around disclosure for young people with HIV and highlighting the factors that both facilitate and inhibit disclosure. Part two is an empirical paper outlining a qualitative study interviewing young people with perinatally acquired HIV on their attitudes and experiences towards disclosure. Part three is a critical appraisal of the research experience, commenting upon some of the challenges of conducting the research, methodological issues and learning points. All three sections should influence further research and have implications for clinical work in suggesting ways in which young people with HIV can be better supported around disclosure.

Starting an LLC with a foreign partner
by h.narayan, Window Shopper
- Created: April 28, 2012, 10:10 am
HI, I'm a US citizen looking to form an LLC with a foreign partner. My partner is an Indian citizen and I was wondering if he had to show proof of a certain amount of money in his personal accounts in order to be apart of an LLC in the US. I have heard some people say that they needed to show $200,000.00 in capital to enter into the American market. Is this true? What financial prerequisites would my partner have to fulfill in order to open and LLC with me? thanks
Alex Coffey | Window Shopper | 4/29/2012 - 12:12 pm
Good questions n.narayan. I'm in a similar situation. I'm researching setting
up a LLC with a Chinese partner. They already have a consulting business
license in China but want to start a use based company with a partner. I
haven't read anything about a foreign partner needing any capital to join a

IBIA to Focus Efforts on the Growing Issue of Identity Management
WASHINGTON, July 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The International Biometrics & Identification Association (IBIA) today announced that it has expanded its mission to focus on the overall issue of determining identity. This new mandate, one which will see biometric and other technologies play an increasingly important role, has been deemed critical by the IBIA, given the rise of authentication issues facing data security, identity theft, immigration and homeland security.
Recognizing the vital role identity plays in a globally connected world, the IBIA will bring stakeholders into a single organization to collaborate on key identity management issues such as preventing identify theft, securing data and transactions for financial and healthcare institutions, protecting data in laptops and mobile phones, and protecting national borders and ports.
"Without a doubt, there are many opportunities to ensure technology is used effectively and appropriately in identity management, including the banking, healthcare, telecommunications, and homeland security sectors," said IBIA Board Chairman Walter Hamilton. "The IBIA will play a critical role in addressing these issues by bringing various stakeholders together in a forum for exchanging information and ideas that will not only resolve issues and establish policy, but will become a voice for advocacy and education."
One example of the recent uptick in identity management issues can be found in the 2010 Identity Fraud Survey Report, released by Javelin Strategy & Research on February 10 of this year. The report found that the number of identity fr

Frank Gore's mileage hits critical status
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, December 1, 2010
Frank Gore's fractured right hip serves as half-omen and half-memo to the 49ers. They won't have their star running back for the remaining five games of the season, and they'll be lucky if they have much of a future at all with him.
None of this should come as a surprise. The game is hard on running backs in general, and it has delivered especially damaging blows to Gore's body in both college and the pros. At the start of the next season, he will be 28, which is about 59 in running-back years. A fractured hip would be hard on any athlete, but a running back with damage in that area is particularly vulnerable.
The 49ers have largely wasted their six seasons with Gore, stumbling through seasons of experimentation at quarterback, failing to bolster their offensive line for most of his tenure, and running offensive coordinators through a revolving door.
Much has been made of the multiple coordinators' effect on Alex Smith's development, but Norv Turner's presence in 2006 revealed much more about Gore's potential than Smith's. His 1,695 rushing yards that year demonstrated what a well-designed offense could elicit from him.
Gore has some limitations, most notable in his periodic fumbling streaks. But all in all, he is one of the most valuable players in the NFL, a good receiver and pass protector as well as one of the most formidable second-, third- and fourth-burst runners in the game.
Yet he may never reach the playoffs. If the 49ers somehow win the default berth that will go to the NFC West this year, Gore will have to be a spectator. That possibility seems almost as wrong as the chance that a 7-9 team will make the postseason.
If Brian Westbrook fills Gore's job well enough to take the 49ers to the playoffs, he will deserve every bit of credit that comes his way. His leadership and savvy were evident on every down he played in Monday's win over Arizona. The 31-year-old Westbrook clearly had the ear of the referees, who engaged in the kind of tete-a-tetes they tend to conduct primarily with respected veterans.
They don't often consult with running backs, no matter how smart and diplomatic they might be. Building that rapport takes time, and most backs come up short.
