To begin with, if you haven't been following my coverage of the Ed O'Bannon v. NCAA trial this week, well, gosh darn it, you should be. Here are links to my recaps of day one and day two, and here is SI.com's full case content hub. For this week's Mailbag, though, we'll stick to football. Hey Stewart, in your most recent Mailbag, you were very high on Florida State making the College Football Playoff. With all the praise given to the Seminoles after the winning the national title, do you have ANY concerns about complacency? These are young kids in a town where they are reminded everywhere and every day of how great they are. Have there been any teams in the last 10 years that have fallen flat after a national championship game despite little attrition?-- Will H., Denver, Colo. Without question, complacency is a concern. In fact, it's likely unavoidable no matter how many times coach Jimbo Fisher repeats his line, "We're not defending anything, we're chasing another championship." We know this because a similar problem has felled several other heavily hyped teams over the past 10 years. Alabama's players and coaches admit that complacency and entitlement infected last year's squad, which was coming off two straight national titles and which many assumed could sleepwalk to a third. They affected Urban Meyer's last great Florida team in 2009, another defending national champ that returned stars like Tim Tebow and Brandon Spikes but was ultimately blown out in the SEC title game. And complacency clearly impacted the latter half of USC's dynasty under Pete Carroll, when the Trojans annually lost a game they had no business losing. I would not be at all surprised if Florida State follows much the same arc. It's unrealistic to think the Seminoles will beat every opponent 49-17 and 59-3 like they did last fall. This time around, they'll endure more scares. RICKMAN: Florida State, Alabama headline post-spring Power Rankings But if Florida State's 2014 roster is as loaded as I suspect, possibly on par or better than all of those aforementioned teams, it will take more than a little complacency to completely derail its season. That's partially because it has more room for error in the new system. In the BCS era, when one loss was often one too many, a team like Alabama in '13 faced tremendous pressure to not only live up to the hype, but also to be perfect. While the Crimson Tide's previous two teams each suffered a regular-season loss, too, there was no guarantee they'd climb back into the top two. Last year they didn't. This year's 'Noles, on the other hand, will almost certainly make the playoff field as a 12-1 ACC champion, especially given the caliber of opponents on their schedule (Oklahoma State, Notre Dame, Clemson, Louisville, Miami and Florida). Also, it's no coincidence that those most of those USC teams, the 2009 Florida team and the '11 and '12 'Bama teams all played more dominant football directly after their losses, particularly in bowl games. Nothing shatters complacency quite like a humbling defeat. Of course, two regular-season losses would be tough to overcome. But if that happens to Florida State this fall, other factors such as injuries or bad chemistry will likely play a role. These players are 18- to 22-year-olds, not robots. You make a strong case that the four-team playoff field should not be limited to conference champions, but in my opinion, that doesn't mean the best set-up is always No. 1 versus No. 4 and No. 2 versus No. 3. Last year, for example, that would have meant No. 3 Alabama getting a second shot at a national title by playing in a semifinal game against No. 2 Auburn, which beat 'Bama in its regular-season finale. Would it have been a huge injustice if the committee excluded Alabama in favor of No. 5 Stanford (the Pac-12 champion) or No. 6 Baylor (the Big 12 champ)?-- Greg Fisk, Birmingham, Ala. The short answer is no, it would not have been an injustice if that happened. It's important to note the distinction between restricting the field solely to conference champions -- which could produce the scenario I described last week, in which a projected No. 13 team could secure a berth -- and leaving the field open but placing value on conference titles in the selection process. We'll have to see if the committee follows through on this, but playoff organizers have said league championships will be one of several unofficial tiebreakers, along with strength of schedule and head-to-head results, that distinguish between closely bunched teams. With that in mind, it's plausible the committee might have picked Stanford, which went 11-2, won a tough conference and played a top-five national schedule, over Alabama, which went 11-1, did not win its league and played a schedule ranked closer to 50th. The Cardinal might not be the best example here because they suffered a bad loss to 5-7 Utah in October. And maybe the committee still would have felt that the Crimson Tide, whose sole loss came on an implausible last-second play, were the better team. But fans need to prepare for the inevitable scenario, possibly coming as soon as this season, in which a team ranked fifth or sixth in the AP Poll finishes fourth in the committee's eyes in part because it won its conference. As for possible rematches, people really need to get over them. They happen all the time in every other postseason with almost no objection. For instance, the Carolina Panthers, the NFC South champion last year, beat the San Francisco 49ers, who entered the NFL playoffs in a wild card berth, during their only regular-season meeting last November. But when the teams met in the NFC divisional round, the 49ers won and advanced to the conference championship game, and no one blinked an eye. If that happened in college football, fans would have been outraged. I'm not saying rematches are ideal in a four-team playoff. Still, I'd rather have them than manipulate seeds or selections expressly in order to avoid them. STAPLES: Coaches and ADs must adjust to world with fewer regulations Stewart, given that nearly every power conference has a championship game, and given that the playoff participants will play one and potentially two additional games following a long season, do you see the recent success of more traditional physical teams such as Stanford, Michigan State and Alabama reversing the trend of spread offenses? A program built to wear opponents down with a punishing style seems better suited to the rigors of three consecutive games against presumably excellent opponents. If so, does this mean the running back will matter again in the NFL five years from now?-- Marc Porter, New York Great question. In the grand scheme of things, the spread offense isn't going anywhere. Now that it's so deeply engrained at all levels of football, most of the elite athletes coming out of high school are suited for the spread. Prospects spend all year playing in 7-on-7 competitions, and many teams tackle less frequently in practices due to concussion concerns. If every major college program in America decided to adopt Stanford's philosophy, you'd see a lot of bad offenses simply because there aren't enough great fullbacks, tight ends and drop-back quarterbacks to go around. As for the playoff, your reasoning makes a lot of sense. However, I'd guess the fatigue factor would be more relevant for conference championships than it would be for the playoff. By the time Dec. 31 or Jan. 1 rolls around, teams in semifinals should be well rested after a month off. This year, the winners of those games will then receive another 11-day break before the national championship. If, as we get into it, we see a trend of traditional power teams faring better, we still won't be able to say it's definitively a byproduct of their style. The teams that stick to those offenses may just have more talented players. I thought I was familiar with all 13 members of the College Football Playoff selection committee, but I recently saw a list that included Tyrone Willingham. Has he always been a member? Or was it somehow decided that his stellar coaching performances at Notre Dame and Washington merited him being a substitute for someone qualified?-- Gerry Swider, Sherman Oaks, Calif. He has been there all along, but I understand how he snuck up on you. Other than last fall's introductory teleconference, it's believed that no one outside his immediate family has heard from him in six years. Photo: David E. Klutho/SI Alabama's Nick Saban has long been a proponent of the SEC adopting a nine-game conference schedule. Hi Stewart. I have read on a couple of websites how Nick Saban is mad as all get out about schedules and how he truly believes in playing power-conference opponents. So, what do I see today? Alabama canceled its home-and-home with Michigan State, instead opting to play the mighty Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. I hope the new selection committee gets past the name on the front and looks at 'Bama's weak schedule.-- RTG, Dallas I realize Saban makes for an easy target, but he's hardly the poster boy for soft scheduling. For one thing, he's the lone SEC coach who consistently and adamantly supported a nine-game conference slate. That's saying something considering how much his team prospered in the BCS era by playing eight league games. And he has noted on numerous occasions that he would prefer if Power Five teams exclusively played other Power Five teams, basically saying that FCS and Sun Belt games are a slap in the face to paying fans. In the meantime, do you really think Saban is going to put his team at a disadvantage? He wants everyone to change their ways, not just Alabama, but unfortunately for him and for us, it's tough to get schools in the same conference to adopt a universal scheduling policy, much less across all major leagues. Saban's program has embraced neutral-site openers, which can be quite lucrative. Florida will reportedly earn $6 million to play in the 2017 Cowboys Classic against Michigan. That's $6 million 'Bama would miss out on every other year if it scheduled home-and-homes rather than one neutral-site game and three home cupcakes. Hence, why the school canceled the Michigan State series. So far the formula has worked for him. If the committee dings the Tide for subpar strength of schedule at some point, he may have to revisit it. STAPLES: College football's great scheduling debate is all about incentive After a 10-2 regular season, a crushing loss to Florida State in the ACC title game and a heartbreaking bowl loss to Texas A&M, what's the future of Duke?-- Knox, any USPA drop zone It's always a pleasure when Knox parachutes into the Mailbag. The future is bright for Duke. Last season will not prove to be a one-hit wonder. If anything, the Blue Devils managed to win 10 games last fall despite maddening inconsistency and far too many turnovers (25). This year the Blue Devils return quarterback Anthony Boone, receiver Jamison Crowder, two of their top three running backs and four starting offensive linemen. The defense loses its best player (cornerback Ross Cockrell), but returns five of its top six tacklers, including budding star safety DeVon Edwards. By any indication, Duke will be more experienced and talented across the board than it was in 2013. Yet unfortunately for the Blue Devils, many of their ACC Coastal peers should be better, too. I said last week that I expect North Carolina to be a sleeper team nationally. Miami should only continue to improve as well. Conversely, two programs that ruled this division just a few years ago, Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech, aren't showing many signs of encouragement. It's not unrealistic to think David Cutcliffe's team can reach the 10-win mark again, especially given its soft opening slate (Elon, at Troy, Kansas and Tulane) and weak ACC crossover opponents (Syracuse and Wake Forest). I never thought I'd write that. "Tennessee hasn't beaten Vanderbilt in four years." Umm. Might want to research that.-- Negateer, Atlanta My mistake. It has been three years since Tennessee last beat Vandy. Still, it's hard to believe there is a generation of toddlers that has no idea the Volunteers used to be better at football than the Commodores. Stewart, I was just looking at the TV schedule for this fall and saw an interesting item. The first televised game of the season is Texas A&M at South Carolina on Thursday, Aug. 28. I was psyched until I saw the network -- the SEC Network. I realize TV contracts with the major networks are in place for years, but do you think that conferences will schedule other marque matchups in the future on their own networks?-- Mark G, Folsom, Pa. That scheduling choice is not accidental. The SEC Network, which currently has deals only with DISH, AT&T U-Verse and Google Fiber, is trying to land widespread distribution by the start of the season. Putting a marquee conference game on the network right off the bat could ratchet up the pressure on cable carriers. And I'd strongly recommend the cable companies and DirecTV play ball, because they really don't want to find out the consequences of Alabama fans missing a Crimson Tide game. The SEC Network will show at least one game involving every league team within the first four weeks of the season for this very reason. One thing to be aware of regarding the SEC Network: Unlike the Big Ten Network, which is co-owned by FOX, and the Pac-12 Networks, which are run by the conference, the SEC Network is wholly owned and operated by ESPN. With those other leagues there's a predetermined selection order each week in choosing games, with the conference network usually getting lower priority. In this case, ESPN owns the rights to all SEC games below CBS' top choice, and while it presumably will keep putting the league's No. 2 and No. 3 games on ESPN and ESPN2, it could -- in a negotiating tactic -- place them on SEC Network. Those decisions will be made in conjunction with the conferences. It will be interesting to see how ESPN handles this if distribution battles continue into the fall. It will tick off a lot of fans nationally, if, say, Tennessee's visit to Georgia on Sept. 27 is relegated to a channel almost no one gets. But don't put it past ESPN to play hardball. You wrote: "That's why power conferences are pushing so hard for legislative autonomy. They're sick of getting sued over things they could easily pay for if their peers would just let them." The five power conferences total 65 schools. That's about half of the FBS or whatever it is called now. Why not just tell the NCAA, this is what we want or we start our own PCAA or whatever? I think the NCAA would cave on this.-- Michael, Los Angeles If by "NCAA" you're referring to Mark Emmert and his minions in Indianapolis, that's not who gets to decide the autonomy issue. It's the Division I membership itself, which includes 340 schools, not only FBS and FCS football schools. The Division I board of directors -- comprised of presidents and chancellors from Dartmouth to UCLA -- will decide in August whether the proposed autonomy model passes. At this point the question is not whether it will pass, but whether the Power Five commissioners will deem the final version sufficient. The most recent proposal included a few kinks, such as high voting thresholds, and other areas about which the big boys were not pleased. That spawned subsequent veiled threats like SEC commissioner Mike Slive's recent Division IV comment (which hinted those leagues might form their own subdivision). Still, a full-on breakaway is not in the cards, no matter how much offseason fodder such fantasies provide sports talk radio hosts. I don't think many people comprehend what a wide swath of areas fall under the NCAA's umbrella. You would need to stage championship events not only for football, but also for all of the other sports. You would need some sort of enforcement mechanism and a means to verify thousands and thousands of athletes' eligibility. You would need some sort of governance system for setting best practices and policies. It's a massive and unenviable undertaking. Most of all, even the Power Five know that March Madness wouldn't be March Madness without teams like Mercer and Florida Gulf Coast. If the major-conference schools leave the NCAA, they leave behind a $10.8 billion enterprise that serves as a three-week advertisement for their universities. Would a basketball tournament without Cinderellas garner as much money or interest? I doubt it. But then again, the rest of Division I needs the tourney far more than the Power Five, so the latter can use its possible demise as a negotiating carrot. STAPLES: Talk of a Division IV? No matter what, current structure must change I think college football blew it with the playoff selection committee. Here's a better plan: Start each year with everyone who qualifies as an "expert" picking winners and losers every week. The ones who are least accurate each Saturday get chucked out of the pool. By the end of the year, the small number of experts who were the most accurate would become your selection committee members. Maybe Condoleezza Rice winds up in the pool, and maybe an unknown taxi driver from Ohio winds up in the pool. ESPN or Fox could get a new reality show out of it, too.-- Thomas Horsley, Delray Beach, Fla. This is brilliant. Next year, Bill Hancock? Comments More College Football

Seducing Spirits
1 Timothy 4:1-16 The Holy Spirit is the "great teacher." Jesus says He, the Holy Spirit, will lead us into all truth, and He will bring to our remembrance everything that Jesus spoke about while He taught on earth. Whether we like to admit it or not, we all have a teacher. Some people have deceived themselves into thinking they are their own boss and they don't have to learn anything from any man. The truth, however, is that every day of our lives we are learning something. Our teacher may be experience, environment, hard knocks, etc., but ultimately we are taught either by Satan and his demons or by God and His Holy Spirit. Jesus gave us a great invitation. He said "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light" (Matt. 11:28-30). read more

Will We Go Through the Tribulation?
2 Thessalonians 2:1-17 The question "Will we go through the tribulation?" has been discussed in many books and by many teachers. People do not like the thought of going through any tribulation. In fact, when tribulation comes, they want an easy out. One of the promises of God we do not like to claim is, "In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." Jesus said this, and we will all suffer some tribulation in this life. There will be a day, however, when there will be tribulation as never before on this earth. This is a seven-year period at the end of this age when there will be horrific trials. All of us would like to escape this period of time, but the more I study Scripture, the only promise I can hold on to to comfort me about the last days on earth is, "We are not appointed to wrath." If one studies Revelation, he will discover that the last three and one-half years of the Great Tribulation will be a time on earth when all kinds of plagues are poured out on the earth. This is the time of God's wrath, and these various trials are called the bowls of wrath. I am convinced the church will not be on earth during this last three and one-half years because we are not appointed to God's wrath. The statement is made in Revelation that at this time no one left on earth will repent. read more

The Repentance
1 Thessalonians 4:1-5:3 A new series of books has just been produced that speaks of the last days. The series is called Left Behind. These fiction novels, which are based on Scripture, speak of the day of "the Rapture,"a day many believe the saints of the Lord will meet Jesus in the air. That day is described in detail in this series. Trains, planes and cars will crash suddenly, and those left behind will not know that something supernatural has happened. Some members of families will be taken in the Rapture, and others will be left behind. read more

Matt Roth, Chris Morris reportedly make visits to Foxboro
|08.02.11 at 8:58 pm ET
FOXBORO ' According to a tweet from John Clayton of ESPN, the Patriots held a workout with former Browns linebacker Matt Roth on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old Roth is a 6-foot-4, 275-pounder out of Iowa who is known as a solid presence against both the run and the pass. He played the majority of the last two seasons in Cleveland after being claimed off waivers in November of 2009. He had 3.5 sacks last year for the Browns after having four and five in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
He has a real familiarity with the responsibilities of an outside linebacker in a Bill Belichick-style 3-4 ' since college, Roth has played almost exclusively for former Belichick lieutenants. As a collegian, he was with Kirk Ferentz at Iowa. In the pros, he's also had stints with in Nick Saban (Miami) and Eric Mangini (Cleveland), which would likely mean an easy transition in New England.
In addtion, it was reported that center Chris Morris had a visit with the Patriots on Tuesday. Morris, 28, is a 6-foot-4, 305-pounder who has been in the league for the last five seasons, four with Oakland and one with Carolina.

SALT LAKE CITY — Mehmet Okur's injured back passed all the necessary tests in his first game since Dec. 29.
Hit a 3-pointer? Of course.
Guard one of the best players in the NBA in Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire? Absolutely.
Get in the paint and dunk? Sort of.
"I felt great," Okur said. "I'm still feeling good, and during the game I felt good. I didn't want a setback."
In his first game since straining his lower back against the Clippers, Okur played a little more than 12 minutes and scored 10 points. He also had two rebounds and two assists.
Okur received a warm greeting from Jazz fans when he entered Utah's 131-125 win over the Knicks at the start of the second quarter. He quickly assisted on a 3-pointer by C.J. Miles, and hit a fadeaway jumper to give the Jazz a 38-36 lead.
"I thought Memo played well," said Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. "We ran a couple pick-and-rolls for him, some post ups for him. I thought he handled himself really well. I thought he was back to where he was just before his back started bothering him."
The back problem is the third injury Okur has dealt with this season. He missed Utah's first 26 games while rehabbing from a ruptured Achilles suffered against the Nuggets in last season's playoffs. He sprained his ankle in his second game back, played two more games, and then hurt his back.
Okur missed six games with that strained lower back before returning against the Knicks on Wednesday night.
"Watching him practice, and go through the stuff, the problems he's had, I'm happy for him that he looked as good as he did," said Sloan.
So are his teammates.
"I'm very happy for him to get back," said Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko. "We definitely need him. He's a huge force for us in and out. He's still getting there, and I think he's going to get better and better."
Okur sat out the entire third quarter before playing a little more than half of the fourth quarter. He started out the period guarding Stoudemire and handled himself well in defending one of the league's top scorers.
"It could have been better," Okur said of his defense. "I fouled him a couple times, but it was nice game to win at home."
Okur's final basket of the game was a dunk that came off of a nice pass from Ronnie Price.
"That was a baby dunk," Okur said. "I was going to lay in, but I kind of got confused — lay in or dunk. But I got two points and that's all that matters."

Exploring racial/ethnic differences in substance use: a preliminary theory-based investigation with juvenile justice-involved youth
Racial/ethnic differences in representation, substance use, and its correlates may be linked to differential long-term health outcomes for justice-involved youth. Determining the nature of these differences is critical to informing more efficacious health prevention and intervention efforts. In this study, we employed a theory-based approach to evaluate the nature of these potential differences. Specifically, we hypothesized that (1) racial/ethnic minority youth would be comparatively overrepresented in the juvenile justice system, (2) the rates of substance use would be different across racial/ethnic groups, and (3) individual-level risk factors would be better predictors of substance use for Caucasian youth than for youth of other racial/ethnic groups.
To evaluate these hypotheses, we recruited a large, diverse sample of justice-involved youth in the southwest (N = 651;
As predicted, racial/ethnic minority youth were significantly overrepresented in the juvenile justice system. Additionally, Caucasian youth reported the greatest rates of substance use and substance-related individual-level risk factors. In contrast, African American youth showed the lowest rates for substance use and individual risk factors. Contrary to predictions, a racial/ethnic group by risk factor finding emerged for only one risk factor and one substance use category.
This research highlights the importance of more closely examining racial/ethnic differences in justice populations, as there are likely to be differing health needs, and subsequent treatment approaches, by racial/ethnic group for justice-involved youth. Additionally, this study highlights the need for timely, empirically supported (developmentally and cross-culturally) substance abuse interventions for all justice-involved youth.
Mainstream American youth exhibit high rates of substance use. Recent studies indicate that an average of 45% of high-school adolescents regularly drink, 19% smoke cigarettes, 20% use marijuana, and 10% use harder illicit drugs [e.g.,
Not only is substance use prevalent among justice-involved youth, it has also been implicated in both justice system involvement as well as longer-term negative consequences. Adolescent substance use has been strongly related to juvenile and adult criminal justice involvement
While concerning on its own, the negative health trajectory initiated by substance use and justice involvement becomes more consequential when the relative representation of the youth in the justice system is considered. To that end, some posit that the racial/ethnic representation of justice-involved youth mirrors the general population [e.g.,
Notably, a complete understanding of the nature of substance use and its contributing factors are not clear across youth of different racial/ethnic minority groups, particularly for those involved in the justice system. While some have found greater levels of substance use among racial/ethnic minority youth, most have found that justice-involved Caucasian youth tend to be more extreme both in terms of substance use as well as in terms of other risk factors [e.g.,
There are many factors that may contribute to adolescent substance use. In particular, the literature has indicated the role of variables in three key domains: parent, peer, and individual. While parent and peer variables have been well supported [e.g.,
While there are many likely contributions to and correlates of racial/ethnic differences (e.g., social economic, educational, cultural) in adolescent substance use, the examination of the existence of such differences is an important first step in its own right. Specifically, examining racial/ethnic differences in representation, substance use, as well as their correlates (individual-level risk factors) in the juvenile justice system is critical, as studies suggest that these inequities are linked to differential long-term outcomes for youth of different racial/ethnic backgrounds
Investigating Racial/Ethnic Differences: Theoretical Approach
While substantial efforts have been devoted towards evaluating racial/ethnic differences, few have been theoretically grounded. In an effort to systematize evaluations of racial/ethnic differences and their potential implications in the field of health, Carter-Pokras and Baquet
This study offered a timely opportunity to examine contributing factors to racial/ethnic differences in adolescent substance use with a high-risk sample (justice-involved youth). While there is precedent establishing the existence of racial/ethnic differences among justice-involved youth, the factors that underlie those differences are significantly less well understood. From a clinical standpoint, evaluating the reasons why differences in substance use might exist (through investigating potential risk factors), provides a firm avenue to guide future prevention and intervention efforts for this diverse, and often underserved, group of high-risk youth. Ultimately, research deconstructing differences on contributing factors is necessary in order to interrupt the pattern of negative, long-term health sequelae for justice-involved youth
Participants and Procedures
Data were collected as part of a larger, longitudinal study (PI: ADB). The goal of this study was to obtain a convenience sample of ethnically-diverse adolescents on probation in order to explore issues of risk behavior and its correlates in depth among high-risk youth. Sample size determination based on power calculations was conducted for the larger longitudinal study for which latent growth modeling analyses are eventually planned, and thus our original target for recruitment was 800 young people, of whom we were able to recruit 714. In addition to the recruited youth, an additional 387 youth indicated initial interest in the study, but did not participate for several reasons. Specifically, 18.9% of youth were ineligible due to age, 3.4% entered detention or treatment after providing assent rendering them inaccessible for participation, 28.4% did not provide effective parent contact information (preventing the securing of parental consent), and consistent with other high risk youth studies (Montanaro, Ewell, Bryan, Feldstein Ewing: Challenges associated with longitudinal research with adolescents: A two- sample perspective, submitted), 49.4% lost interest or repeatedly no-showed. This analysis focused on data from the baseline assessment.
The sampling frame was purposefully selected to yield the largest and most diverse justice-involved sample possible from the state of Colorado. Adolescents (aged 14-18) were recruited from two juvenile probation offices in the Denver Metropolitan area (Denver Main and Adams County). As the goal was to recruit a large, ethnically-diverse sample, these two offices were selected because they were the most ethnically-diverse and the most populous in the state. Because Denver Main is much larger than Adams in terms of their caseload, the majority of participants (77%) were from Denver Main. Youth in this study were on probation for a variety of reasons, ranging from legal infractions not warranting detainment to recently finishing a detention sentence and transitioning back to non-detained status. Adolescents received probation for a range of offenses, varying from mild (15.4% of sample; i.e., curfew violation, truancy, possession of drugs, graffiti, and joyriding), to moderate (49.1% of sample; i.e., theft, auto theft, burglary, harassment, and selling drugs), to severe (35.5% of sample; i.e., arson, carrying a weapon, sexual offense, child abuse, assault, and criminal trespassing). Of the 714 probation-involved adolescents recruited, 41% self-identified as Hispanic (
Research assistants were present in the waiting rooms of juvenile probation offices in the participating metropolitan area. They were seated next to a sign advertising the opportunity to participate in a longitudinal research study. Youth waiting for their appointments in the lobby were approached by research staff and asked if they would like more information about the study; if so, this information was given to them. At that time, adolescents were evaluated for inclusion (criteria included age 14-17 years, currently on probation, fluency in English, and cognitively capable of understanding the assent form as assessed by the research assistant). However, consistent with the delineated IRB protocols for vulnerable samples (e.g., youth, justice-involved samples), our IRB-approved procedures precluded any formal data collection prior to the collection of documented parent consent. Probation or juvenile justice staff had no involvement in recruitment. Adolescents signed an informed assent form and gave parent/guardian contact information to the research staff member. According to IRB-approved procedures, the parent/guardian was then called via telephone, was made aware that the phone call was being taped, and was then read the complete informed consent document. The parent/guardian was encouraged to ask any questions regarding the study, and their verbal consent was then given. All tapes were logged and kept to verify consent. All procedures were approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Colorado at Boulder. A federal Certificate of Confidentiality was obtained due to the age of the subjects and the sensitivity of the data. Participants were compensated $20 for the one-hour baseline survey.
All assessments utilized ACASI (Audio-Computer-Assisted Self-Interview) technology on individual laptop computers. ACASI has proven to be a reliable way to obtain survey data assessing risk behaviors
Using ACASI technology, adolescents were asked to complete the following instruments. Following Robbins and Bryan

Relative Representation in a System of Justice
According to the U. S. Census
Relative Rates of Current (Past Six-Month) Substance Use
Similar to previous studies [e.g.,
In terms of racial/ethnic differences in substance use, African American adolescents had the lowest alcohol use, which was significantly lower than Caucasian youth. For frequency of alcohol use and frequency of getting drunk, AIAN adolescents did not differ from other groups; they fell between African American and Caucasian youth. Of the 433 cigarette smokers, the average number of cigarettes smoked per day was 4-6. Caucasian youth were younger at age of first cigarette than Hispanic and African American youth. Again, AIAN youth's age at first use fell between Caucasians versus Hispanic and African American youth. Caucasian adolescents smoked significantly more cigarettes than Hispanic youth. Marijuana users (n = 392) reported using marijuana an average of 2-3 times per week and no differences in frequency emerged. However, Caucasian youth were significantly younger at first marijuana use than African American youth. In terms of hard drug use, African American youth used far fewer, while Caucasian youth used significantly more hard drugs than any other ethnic group. Hispanic and AIAN adolescents did not differ in the number of hard drugs they had used.
Relative Rates of Individual-Level Risk Factors
There were no significant differences by racial/ethnic group in terms of percent employed. There were significant group differences in school enrollment, self-esteem, and externalizing behavior (see Table

Our final analysis examined interactions between individual-level risk factors and racial/ethnic group. As described in the Analysis Plan, we used analytic techniques based upon the distribution of each outcome variable. Because of the number of tests, critical alpha was adjusted to .01. We did not use Bonferonni due to the stringency of that correction [see 57], as these were exploratory analyses meant to generate questions for further research. One significant interaction emerged. Because our hard drug use variable was right-skewed, we utilized generalized estimating equations in SAS (PROC GENMOD procedure) allowing for the specification of a Poisson-distributed outcome. To test the interaction, we followed outlined procedures
Following the theory-based approach of Carter-Pokras and Baquet
More specifically, in this study, we found support for Hypothesis 1, the over-representation of racial/ethnic minority youth in the juvenile justice system. In contrast to recent surveys
For Hypothesis 2 we posited that justice-involved Caucasian youth would evidence greater substance use rates than racial/ethnic minority youth. This hypothesis was supported, as Caucasian adolescents evidenced the greatest rates across almost all substance use categories. In contrast to the broader adolescent literature which found the greatest levels of use among AIAN and Hispanic youth
In terms of Hypothesis 3, as the level of substance use in this sample was significant enough to potentially influence these youths' later health outcomes
While not predicted, the most profound differences emerged between African American and Caucasian youth. One potential explanation for this difference is that more protective factors may exist in our society to prevent Caucasian youth's justice involvement. For example, while not explicitly examined in this study, studies have suggested that high-risk and substance-abusing Caucasian youth may be "referred" to hospitals, medical care, and treatment, whereas African American and other racial/ethnic minority youth are alternatively "referred" to justice settings
Together, these data indicate support for two of the three points of evaluation recommended by Carter-Pokras and Baquet
In terms of clinical implications, to effectively address the diverse health needs of youth entering the justice system, these findings highlight the need for timely, developmentally-, and culturally-appropriate substance abuse interventions to all youth entering the justice system [e.g.,
This study employed the theory-based approach of Carter-Pokras and Baquet
Limitations and Future Directions
The strengths of this study include the theory-based approach, large sample size, the significant representation of multiple racial/ethnic groups to support the cross-groups analysis, the comprehensive evaluation of substance use and identified risk factors, and the focus on the health issues of justice-involved youth. However, the findings of this study should be interpreted in light of the following limitations. To address the study questions, this study employed a convenience sample, resulting in the attendant limitations in terms of generalizability; future replication with a larger, nationally representative sample of adolescents involved with the juvenile justice system will be critical to following up with and further exploring the questions posed in our research. This was a cross-sectional study; future work should examine substance use progressions in a longitudinal design in order to strengthen our ability to draw causal conclusions regarding risk factors for progression of substance use. Additionally, consistent with the delineated IRB protocols for vulnerable samples (e.g., youth, justice-involved samples), our IRB-approved procedures precluded data collection on youth prior to the collection of documented youth assent and parent consent. Therefore, we were unable compare exact characteristics of those who participated versus those who did not. Moreover, the selection of risk factors was limited to individual-level risk factors believed to influence potential racial/ethnic differences; future work should examine the comparative influence of salient parent and peer factors, as well as critical environmental and genetic factors [e.g.,

"One of the things that I thought would be affected by the economy was the growth of the varieties - reds, yellows and fingerlings," said Don Odiorne, vice president of foodservice for the Idaho Potato Commission, Eagle. "But if anything they've held strong. I think they're expanding."
The U.S. Potato Board, Denver, said in its second quarter report that premium russets, organics, and red skin and yellow flesh varieties experienced double-digit dollar growth year over year.
The recession actually boosted premium potatoes at retail, the board said, because consumers are dining out less often.
Shoppers also took advantage of lower prices by trading up from "mainstream and bargain products" to gourmet items. Retailers responded by increasing the number of premium stock-keeping units by 9%, the report said.
Foodservice, however, gets some of the credit for the growth in specialty items, said Kevin Stanger, senior vice president of sales for Wada Farms Marketing Group LLC, Idaho Falls, Idaho.
"It starts in foodservice," he said. "Consumers see how something is prepared and how it's used at a restaurant. It's like what happened with sweet potatoes. Some restaurant chains are carrying sweet potatoes, and people see how good they are. Then you start seeing it carry over to retail."

The best lens for tourist photography - DT 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 (SAL18135)
Jul 21, 2014
So after many many years I got the chance to visit the Dallas World Aquarium and took my Sony A65 mounted with the most versatile lens in my bag - The DT 18-135, and I was not disappointed. It did all I asked it to do- from wide shots to long shots. Keep in mind most of the shots were taken through plexiglass or cage of some sort (wire or bamboo). I hope you all enjoy them as much as I enjoyed my visit to the aquarium.

"The Intel® Atom processor D510 is power-optimized and delivers robust performance-per-watt for cost-effective embedded solutions," says Jonathan Luse, marketing director, Intel Low Power Embedded Products Division. "Embedded platforms built with the new multi-threaded Intel Atom processor can deliver a combination of low power consumption, high performance and a smaller, more efficient footprint due to the integration of the graphics and memory controllers on the chip, opening new design and application opportunities for developers."
The LUGE LEC-7100 includes multiple audio and video interfaces, two gigabit LAN network ports, and two storage interfaces - CompactFlash Type I/II and SATA HDD.

Its robust fanless design makes the LEC-7100 an ideal solution for video applications such as digital signs, outdoor advertising and kiosk systems. The onboard 1.66GHz dual core Intel® Atom processor D510 provides outstanding performance with very low power consumption and minimal cooling requirements, resulting in improved stability and longevity and providing a higher return on investment.

*Lupe Fiasco thinks Justin Bieber has been let off easy following his racist tapes, with so many of his black friends quick to come to his defense.
The pop star has been under fire this week after the leak of two videos, which showed him using the N-word as part of a joke and singing about joining the Ku Klux Klan.
Young Money's Mack Maine and Lil Wayne, as well as boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Bieber's mentor Usher are supporting Bieber through the scandal, and Lupe Fiasco is convinced it's only because of his pop star status.
The rapper even compares Bieber to former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who was forced to sell the team following the leak of a tape on which he was also heard making racist comments.
Fiasco tells MTV: "Justin Bieber said it (so) it's cool, and people are already coming to his defense. I don't think anybody should be allowed to profit off racism. Donald Sterling made a billion dollars (when) he sold the team, and there was such an uproar about somebody who didn't use the N-word at all, but then you have somebody who made a very racist joke about it.
"I wonder if Justin Bieber's gonna get the same treatment as Donald Sterling? I don't think he will… It's an absurd thing. You get somebody who we 'like' who says it, and says it even more 'racist-ier' and we don't bat an eyelash at it."
Another black star to come out in support of Bieber is 50 Cent, who says the kid just "lost" himself after finding fame.
"I don't think he's a racist. I don't think even he knows who he is at this point – he's so young," he tells Britain's The Sun. "When you see people become huge stars real early, it's tough for them. You have to grow up with all these expectations. I think Justin's still a baby and he's lost."

|I own the D300s and I just can't see how the D5100 would even come close to the full-frame and extensive features of the D5100. I agree that this might not be an apples to apples comparison. The ability to plug in flash lights, manually save settings for specific locations or settings and the robust control over the shooting settings; in my opinion, make the D300s the clear standout.
