Super Bowl XLVI will feature some intriguing matchups on both sides of the ball between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots.
Each team possesses a high-powered passing offense and a lackluster pass defense, which sounds like a shootout in Indianapolis on Feb. 5.
But the Giants enter the Super Bowl leading the playoffs in sacks and boasting a stingier pass defense, and the Pats are holding opponents to just 15 points per game in the playoffs.
Something has to give.
Here are six matchups to look forward to in Super Bowl XLVI:

The English language is just a murdering of every other language in the world, pretty much, so you can't make it much worse.Originally Posted by Brawny
I have to agree with the original poster although in not such harsh words. Grammar does matter, even it is understandable. Maybe the difference between multiply and times is not that great, but if you let up on those, then the language will just keep getting murdered.
Why stop double posting? People can still read it just fine. (just an example)

yes yes, my mother always and still says that whoever invented the English language must have been drunk haha!! and yes when I cam to the USA (I'm from México) I entered into Algebra K class and then I heard it "times 2 and then times 5" and I was like what the hell? times? the correct way would be multiply or by..times is just stupuid
I have said this before and will say it again. It's really not that big of a deal and I honestly can't see why you people are getting worked up over one word. You people need to get over it already.
you could of spared your humiliation of creating a thread about this by just posting this in the Whats your biggest pet peeve? thread
Everything in this signature except for this text was made by Wiired, he is my creator and almighty.
The problem is that English has always been the vernacular, the common language. It has been the lowly one like after the norman invasion, Latin, French, and then English. When they tried to make it universal, they shoved in the latin grammar system which doesn't work too well. It like trying to fit a square inside of a circle perfectly.

True. and I'm sure that by umaking this thread, the person that did it was trying to foment that the words used in English as opposed to the ones in another language are different and irrelevant, and just made easier to understand for the Unitedstatian people; so it was just an example.
People that get worked up about little things like this are kind of more annoying than people that say things like that. Also you should edit your post, I don't think the "f" word is tolerated here.
Also with syntax on this one

As a man who spent five years sifting through information for a company that, well, sifts through more information than anybody else in the world, Douglas Merrill has learned a thing or two about being organized.
On Wednesday, Merrill plans to visit the University of Northern Colorado to speak of his experiences and his new book, "Getting Organized in the Google Era: How to Get Stuff Out of Your Head, Find It When You Need It, and Get It Done Right."
In a conversation with The Tribune, Merrill, the former chief information officer of Google operations in the Middle East and Africa, declined to discuss recent developments involving Google's ventures into China or the company's plans to implement a new bandwidth system in a few lucky communities, as he does not work for the company anymore.
Rather, he's focused - as always - on staying organized.
Q: So what are you up to now?
A: I just founded a small start-up company that's still in stealth mode, but we're in the financial services credit space.
Q: Why did you decide to leave Google?
A: Well, obviously, Google was a great place to hang out and I was super happy to have been there.
I left Google to go work for EMI Records, which is one of the big four music labels, because I'm a huge music fan and I had an opportunity to go in and try to attack an industry that's got huge amounts of promise, great art - still things coming out - although a lot of challenges as they move from primarily selling physical CDs to primarily selling online digital downloads.
Q: Changing gears, how have you been able to go about dealing with dyslexia?
A: It's harder to read, it's harder to comprehend long passages, it's harder to do sort of mathematical operations in my head. Things that are pretty easy for most people are more challenging for dyslexics. But that just makes it more important that I have tricks and strategies for figuring out how to manage information.
I'm just overloaded by information somewhat earlier than you would be, but you end up with the same effect. Given enough information we'll get overloaded. And the kind of tricks that I try to write about in the book were things that I used to manage my own information overload.
Q: So what are some of those tricks?
A There's a set of them in the book. For example, one is this notion of filtering, which is instead of reading an entire document verbatim, I first go through and skim the document and just mark in the margins anything that sounds interesting. I don't think about it, I just mark it.
And then I go back through the article and read only the things I have marked and then try to group them into categories of where these three things are similar and those three things are similar and I mark those with highlighters, so blue means one thing, red means another.
Then I go back through again and if I'm ever reading the article again, I only read the highlighted pieces and I only read one color.
So I skim through an article multiple times with the notion of trying to distill it very rapidly into small bite-sized pieces, because it's very challenging for me to maintain the entire thing in my head. Now it turns out it's challenging for everyone to maintain the entire thing in your head given a certain amount of stress.
Q: Many people have devices like BlackBerries and other mobile devices. How do you recommend dealing with things like that?
A: One of the most important things that people get wrong is to multitask. In fact, the human brain is quite bad at multitasking. So bad, in fact, that by trying to multitask you perform each individual task more poorly than you would have if you had just done it alone.
So one of the things that's very important is to organize your life so that you don't multitask.
Q: Do you have problems getting organized yourself?
A: I built all these tricks to organize myself, right? If you look at my desk you would see piles of paper, yellow stickies and stuff taped to the walls - it would look horribly disorganized to you, but looking disorganized is not the same as being disorganized.
So I learned and I learned the tricks that I described in the book to manage the fact that I'm always hanging on to being organized by the skin of my teeth.
Note: This interview was edited for brevity.

Service and delivery comments:
Very prompt
Best Uses
I was skeptical to spend money on fish cardboard cut-outs; however, they are worth every penny. They are bigger than I thought and worked perfectly. The kids at my daughter's 6th birthday party loved them and we took lots of pictures with them. We were just going to print some out from the internet but these were perfect! I would buy them again in a heartbeat!
Best Uses
These are HUGE, colorful fish that came with double-sided tape squares for mounting.

Due the the league minder site I was not able to give the correct scores. The real scores were 11.5 Sanford to 1.5 Marshwood Athletics.
Sanford shut out 2-0 South Portland who is now 2-1. Sanford played a great defensive game.
Number 88 on Rams intercepted the ball by catching it one handed. Mike Lenny blocked field goal attempt.

My husband and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and although we were first time cruisers, we went with a couple that were veteran cruisers. The visual imagery of the ship is stunning!! We had a wonderful time except for the sickness that was aboard the ship. It was pretty scary listening to everyone assume, guess and wonder!!
There was only one island, the last one at Grand Cayman, where we were delayed going ashore.
The dining room was a delightful experience and our waitstaff was par excellent!
We would highly recommend on the island of Belize to go to "cavetubing.com" and book your excursion. It was a great adventure!! Professional staff that give you a real flavor of the island. We booked snorkeling through the ship on the island of Costa Maya. Very nice!! Cozumel was my favorite with beautiful beaches, lots to do and shopping. We would definitely cruise again, but I think not on the Explorer.
The other couple we were with claimed that it wasn't as clean and the staff not as thorough as other ships in the Royal Caribbean line.

Joseph Palermo: After nine years of war the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan lacks support at home and is widely recognized as a drain on the domestic economy in a time of severe economic contraction. The billions of dollars in U.S. economic assistance to the Hamid Karzai government has created an unsustainable class of Afghans who are dependent upon the American largesse and military presence that would be impossible to sustain by local taxes. It is a puppet government that wouldn't last a day without American arms and money.
Michael Tomasky's Despairing Take on American History
Joseph Palermo: Tomasky argues that many of President Obama's harshest critics on the left are reacting that way because they don't want to admit to themselves that the "feelings of invincibility and redemption" after the 2008 election "were misplaced," and that "the power and euphoria were somehow counterfeit."
Alvin Greene's South Carolina Win: The Inside Scoop
Michael Sigman: Roughly a third of Al's votes came from soul and pop music lovers who believed they were voting for sexy Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Al Green, nee Albert Greene. Green, who was a superstar who sold millions of records in the '70s, also evoked sympathy from voters who remembered he was once doused by his girlfriend in a sea of boiling grits.
Obama's "Fireside Chat" (FDR or Jimmy Carter?)
Joseph Palermo: Tuesday night President Obama explained how his administration is going to respond to the most devastating human-made ecological catastrophe in the nation's history. But he apparently doesn't recognize how overwhelmingly popular it would be right now with the American people if he came out swinging against the malefactors of great corporate wealth like BP (or Goldman Sachs).
Eight Thoughts About Election Day and Words and Music
Michael Sigman: The name Tea Party evokes — was no doubt conjured to evoke — deep deep associations with The Boston Tea Party, a stirring public challenge to corporate monopoly and monarchy studied by every American schoolchild. Now, thrown together with carefully-chosen words and phrases like "Take our country back," "socialism" and "Hitler," the Tea Party purveys the exact opposite — restoring corporate monopolies and viciously rejecting a popularly-elected president.
Marcy's Response to Jane Harman: You're in the Bubble
Marcy Winograd: my JOBS, NOT WARS campaign against Jane Harman in today' Democratic Party primary centers around connecting the dots between the trillions we spend on war and the money denied for sustainable job creation, affordable housing, strong public education, and quality health care for all.
Bald Pols: To Pay or Not Toupee
Michael Sigman: It's tough to be a politician and a member of what Larry David calls "the bald community" in America, particularly when your shoulders also carry the burden of taking our country back. On last week's Real Time with Bill Maher, one of the host's New Rules was, "If Rand Paul is a true libertarian, he has to free his toupee."
And Carter Thought He Faced National Malaise
Joseph Palermo: The spectacle of British Petroleum literally killing off the Gulf of Mexico before our eyes while the Obama Administration apparently believes that BP is honorable enough to be trusted to dutifully clean it up is depressing beyond belief. Hearing Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal complain about the lagging federal response after he built his political career trashing the federal government is just too pathetic and stupid to even bother to ridicule.
O.J., Blumenthal, Souder, and Other Liars: What's the Point?
Michael Sigman: It's one thing for a sociopath like Simpson to think he can get away with asking, in effect, "Who do you believe, me or your lying eyes?" But why do politicians — who love to praise the smarts of "the American people" — tell lies time and again when common sense dictates they'll be caught, especially now that online searches allow facts to be instantly checked and communicated?
For Whom the Bell Curves: Harvard Law Student Says Blacks Are Dumber Than Whites; Black Harvard Professor Agrees
Jonathan David Farley: Should the Harvard law student be expelled for her stupid, offensive, and easily refuted views? Certainly. But more harmful than the email is the contemporary African-American community's customar ycowardice―the Harvard Black Law Students Association "has not taken an official stance" on the email that implies blacks are Untermenschen―and its propensity to elevate monsters and call them heroes. That's simply "precious."
Happy Cinco de Boycott!
Mario Solis-Marich: A sore spot among Latinos has long been that America accepts our cultural best while openly vilifying us in general. Salsa has long replaced ketchup as our country's favorite condiment. Suburbanites love the hard work ethic that is embedded in our cultural DNA and that they so readily hire. Tierra, Shakira, Ricky Martin, Eve Longoria, Raquel Welch, Vicky Carr are loved. Yet these same people are conflated by the media with drug smugglers and terrorists. The disconnect is painfully irritating and quite frankly politically and socially unsustainable.
Reid on Immigration vs. Climate: Whatever Comes First
Mario Solis-Marich: As the pressure mounts around the country on the police state known as Arizona, eyes turn to Washington for comprehensive immigration reform. Top Senate aides informed me this morning that despite news stories to the contrary, Majority Leader Harry Reid has not backed off of the idea of pursing an immigration bill as the next order of Senate business. The clarification is one that may be too nuanced for some but is an indication of the balancing act the Leader feels he must make to hold the Democratic caucus together while trying to pursue legislative remedies to the huge problems left to fester during the days of the past Republican majority. The clarification however will probably not satisfy the Latino community as the disrespectful sting of the slap in the face delivered by Arizona lingers.
Jan Brewer's Big Weekend
Mario Solis-Marich: While the state known as Arizona seethed and Latino parents fell on their knees with Rosaries in hand to pray for the future of their children Governor Jan Brewer went out for a tony dinner with gal pal and media made millionaire Sarah Palin. So happy was Brewer about her night out that she posted it on her Facebook page. It seems that after a week of "agonizing" over her decision to make Latinos the subject of racial profiling she needed a night out to blow off the steam. I guess creating wholesale big government discrimination made her hungry.

The clip the dark overlord of the universe 2 from Howard the Duck (1986) with Wanda McCaddon, Ed Gale Oh, after you. Hey, sorry. This is why I hate the night' shift. I'm sorry, we don't allow pets on the premises. Hey, have a heart. Seeing eye duck. Touching, isn't he? Not so tight. What are you doing? Falling in love? Yeah, sit down. I need a beer bad. Gotta find a waitress. Yeah. Hey, honey! You! Yeah, I'm coming. Here she comes. Your kid's costume is really radical. I'll bet he's crazy about... Yeah, I'm very attached to him. Your dad's sort of in his own space. What do you think he'd like to eat? I no longer need human food. I know it's a drag, but you're gonna have to order some food... if you wanna sit here, so how about the specials on the menu? You are about to witness the end of the old world... and the birth of the new. Hey, is he like one of those TV Evangelists or something? Yeah. Or something. I'm gonna kill somebody. It's okay, Howard. Why don't we just have three specials and three beers. Right. Poor girl. Listen, Dr. J. If you could tune back into reality for a second. I don't understand anything you're talking about.

Nginx: the High-Performance Web Server and Reverse Proxy
In addition to being an extremely fast static Web server, Nginx also is a load balancer and reverse proxy. A load balancer is a device used to spread work out across multiple servers or processes, and a reverse proxy is a server that transparently hands off requests to another server. Among other things, this allows Nginx to handle requests for static content and to load-balance requests for dynamic content across many different back-end servers or processes.
For this example, let's create a very simple Python Web server to serve up some dynamic content. Don't worry if you are not familiar with Python; we're just using it to display a Web page that indicates on which port the server is running. Save the following to a file called /tmp/server.py:
import sys,BaseHTTPServer as B class Handler(B.BaseHTTPRequestHandler): def do_GET(self): self.wfile.write("Served from port %s" % port) def log_message(self, *args): pass if __name__ == '__main__': host,port = sys.argv[1:3] server = B.HTTPServer((host,int(port)), Handler) server.serve_forever()
Now we can start two of these local servers, each on a different port:
# python /tmp/server.py 127.0.0.1 8001 & # python /tmp/server.py 127.0.0.1 8002 &
If you open http://127.0.0.1:8001/ in your browser, you should see "Served from port 8001", and if you open http://127.0.0.1:8002/, you should see "Served from port 8002".
Now, create a new configuration file called /etc/nginx/sites-available/proxy with the following contents:
upstream python_servers { server 127.0.0.1:8001; server 127.0.0.1:8002; } server { listen 127.0.0.1:8000; server_name proxy; access_log /var/log/nginx/proxy.access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/proxy.error.log; location / { proxy_pass http://python_servers; } }
Enable the site and restart Nginx:
# cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled # ln -s ../sites-available/proxy . # /etc/init.d/nginx restart
If you open http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in your browser, you should see a page with either "Served from port 8001" or "Served from port 8002", and it should alternate each time you refresh the page.
Let's go over some of these new settings. The upstream block defines a name for a group of back-end servers. In our case, we defined a group named python_servers, which contains the two local Python servers we started on port 8001 and 8002. We then configured Nginx to hand off all requests to our back-end servers with the line proxy_pass http://python_servers;. Nginx automatically load-balances the requests to each Python server in a round-robin manner. You also can set weights for each back end, so you can direct more or fewer requests to specific servers.
Nginx handles back-end failures automatically and will stop sending requests to a failed back-end server until it starts responding again. To demonstrate this, we can kill off the Python process that's running on port 8001. Use the jobs command to find the job number for the Python process running on port 8001, and use kill %<job number> to kill the process:
# jobs # kill %1
Open http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in your browser and keep refreshing the page, you should see only the "Served from port 8002" page. Nginx detected that the back-end server from port 8001 was not responding, so it stopped sending requests to that server. Now, restart the Python process for port 8001:
# python /tmp/server.py 127.0.0.1 8001 &
Keep refreshing the page and you should see your browser start alternating between "Served from port 8001" and "Served from port 8002" again. Nginx detected that the port 8001 back end was responding and began sending requests to it.
Whether you are looking to get the most out of your VPS or are attempting to scale one of the largest Web sites in the world, Nginx may be the best tool for the job. It's fast, stable and easy to use. Thanks to Igor Sysoev for creating this excellent piece of software.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

News from the National Executive Director, September 2016
As Reclaiming Futures enters its 16th year of operation, we reflect on our unique contributions to the juvenile justice reform efforts of the past couple decades. What is most concretely evident to the field is our public health oriented approach and the creation of an accessible stepwise model, designed for juvenile justice settings, to organize the way they identify treatment need and then deliver developmentally appropriate and evidence-based treatment responses that are then sustained by community supports. In order to make our six-step approach work at the local level, we partner with jurisdictions to break down silos and build authentic collaboration across a number of systems that serve youth.
In creating and disseminating this approach, Reclaiming Futures sets a higher standard for treatment practice in youth justice settings. Our recent OJJDP-funded national evaluation shows that, in the case of juvenile treatment courts, the Reclaiming Futures approach may make the difference between a treatment court that doesn't consistently meet the treatment needs of its participating youth and one that not only improves treatment access and treatment matching, but then produces significant cost savings.… Read More »
A Must Read – Reclaiming Futures and Organizing Justice for Drug-Using Youth
Researchers from John Jay College of Criminal Justice (John Jay) have been involved in evaluating Reclaiming Futures since its inception. Beginning in 2002, Jeffrey Butts, PhD and colleagues began studying the relationship between the Reclaiming Futures' system-level change approach and the way stakeholders across all the inter-connected systems in juvenile justice settings perceive the effectiveness of their system of care and the delivery of services to youth. In his approach, Dr. Butts examined variables in key domains like administration, collaboration and quality. While no evaluation is perfect, the work Butts and colleagues did to begin to quantify system-level change variables in a meaningful way was quite original and generated useful information for Reclaiming Futures and the field. The initial evaluation results were also helpful in guiding subsequent evaluations by The University of Arizona, Chestnut Health Systems, and Carnevale Associates, LLC.
In Reclaiming Futures and Organizing Justice for Drug-Using Youth (Butts, Tomberg, Peirce, Evans & Irvine, 2016), John Jay researchers begin by reviewing Reclaiming Futures history and previous evaluations: the strengths and shortcomings and then report findings from a survey of Reclaiming Futures sites around the country that served as a follow up to the original community networks analysis conducted a decade ago (Butts and Roman, 2007). While there are numerous interesting qualitative and quantitative aspects to this report, I found the follow up to the community networks analysis very relevant and practical. Butts and colleagues contacted sites that participated in the 2003 and 2006 analysis to collect a third wave of data. The researchers asked Reclaiming Futures leadership to rank each site on its "relative level of engagement" with the National Office and Reclaiming Futures activities and events (p. 13). Then, the researchers examined these site-engagement rankings relative to several survey indices. The investigators found that sites that remained strongly engaged showed significantly better perceptions of "access to services" (e.g., location; funding) as compared to those with weak or no engagement. They also found statistically significant differences in "resource management" (e.g., sharing resources; efficient use of existing funding) with sites that were more strongly engaged reporting better resource management scores than sites with less strong or no engagement. Similarly, engaged sites reported more positive perceptions of their alcohol and other drug assessment practices as compared to those with less engagement.… Read More »
News from the National Executive Director, August 2016
In the current Reclaiming Futures newsletter we focus our attention on Screening Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT). SBIRT is a public health-oriented framework revolutionizing the way we think about behavioral health and substance use screening and prevention. Buoyed by strong evidence from the adult research literature, there has been a surge in national interest in translating the successes of the adult SBIRT model for youth populations.
The process of developing an SBIRT framework for youth is in its very early stages and the interest in the approach is currently outpacing the presence of either a body of research evidence and a set of best practices to guide the field. However, with a significant strategic investment by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation (CNHF), the field is making strides. Among other elements of a multi-pronged strategy, CNHF is supporting the field to develop and pilot innovative approaches to youth SBIRT, to look at workforce training, and to explore appropriate settings for implementation. The result has been to challenge a number of youth-serving systems like schools and juvenile justice systems to view their work with youth through a public health lens.… Read More »
Year 2 Update! Reclaiming Futures' Version of Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT)
As many of you know, Reclaiming Futures was awarded a Conrad N. Hilton Foundation grant in September 2014. The purpose of this grant is to develop, pilot test, evaluate, and disseminate a new version of SBIRT for youth at risk for deeper involvement with the juvenile justice system. As a first step, Reclaiming Futures issued a request for proposals and awarded five sites to help us in the endeavor. The sites selected, through a competitive process, were:… Read More »
"Read All About It" – Research Findings Published!
Reasons why I am proud to write this blog…
Reason 1: My former colleagues (and friends) at The University of Arizona, Southwest Institute for Research on Women (UA SIROW) (UA SIROW) have been leading the efforts on the national evaluation of Juvenile Drug Courts and Juvenile Drug Courts blended with Reclaiming Futures (JDC/RF). UA SIROW collaborated with Chestnut Health Systems and Carnevale Associates, LLC to implement a comprehensive evaluation that included data from Juvenile Drug Courts, Juvenile Drugs Courts blended with Reclaiming Futures, and non-justice related intensive adolescent outpatient programs. The purpose was to examine processes, outcomes, and costs.
Reason 2: A collection of five research reports and two commentaries are published in a guest issue of the Drug Court Review – a project of the National Drug Court Institute.… Read More »
News from the National Executive Director, June 2016
It is widely known that arrest rates for adolescents have steadily declined over the past two decades. During this time, we've also seen a gradual shift in the nation's juvenile justice practices away from the use of out-of-home placement for minor, non-violent offenses and toward more treatment-oriented, trauma-sensitive and community-based responses.
This, unfortunately, has not been the story for girls involved in the juvenile justice system. In fact, the proportion of girls involved at all stages of the juvenile justice continuum increased over this time period. Experts and policymakers agree that the system remains insensitive and ill-equipped to serve the needs of girls – particularly girls of color – at all levels of juvenile justice continuum.… Read More »
Adolescent Girls in the Spotlight
In 2008 my colleagues and I wrote for and were awarded a recovery-oriented systems of care grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The primary goal of this grant was to develop and implement a trauma-informed and recovery-oriented system of care for adolescent girls. My colleagues and I were concerned about the increasing juvenile justice involvement and substance use rates among adolescent girls with little to no increases in their rates of enrollment in treatment. Our previous research highlighted the significant levels of trauma and other co-occurring mental health problems among girls. In addition, we found girls had higher rates of "harder" drug use such as cocaine, amphetamines, and heroin/opiates as compared to boys. And on the positive side, we also found that girls who accessed treatment responded really well and made significant behavioral improvements over time.
Other juvenile justice and behavioral health policy makers and program developers have recognized the importance of responding to these increased rates of behavioral health and substance use problems among adolescent girls. We now have a better understanding that while males and females are equally vulnerable to addiction, that from a physiological standpoint, females can have lower tolerance and may progressive to physical dependence at different rates. We also have a better understanding of the critical role played by trauma in substance use and addiction as well as a broader range of available approaches for providing gender-specific and trauma-informed treatment. The positive news is that we have seen the rates of illicit substance use significantly decrease for girls from 2008 to 2014 (26.5% versus 23.7%) and decreases in comparison to boys.… Read More »
Talking About Addiction
On June 1, 2016, our Reclaiming Futures national executive director Evan Elkin spoke at Red Emma's in Baltimore for Open Society Institute-Baltimore's second event in their "Talking About Addiction" series. Elkin was accompanied on the panel by Dr. Hoover Adger from Johns Hopkins Children's Center and by Carin Callan Miller, who founded Save Our Children Peer Family Support. The conversation was moderated by Scott Nolen, director of OSI-Baltimore's Drug Addiction Treatment Program. A full room of community members joined them for the evening, including families affected by adolescent addiction.
Youth, Addiction and the Juvenile Justice System
Whereas the first "Talking About Addiction" event explored alternative law enforcement approaches to addiction, this event focused on youth, addiction, and the juvenile justice system. Despite public acknowledgment of the failures of the "War on Drugs," and an increased understanding of addiction as a public health issue rather than a criminal justice issue, OSI-Baltimore recognizes that research and policy around adolescent addiction are slow to reach the mainstream. Indeed, during the discussion, some attendees expressed frustration with how long addiction treatment reform is taking; OSI moderator Nolen suggested reassurance that the addiction paradigm is finally shifting.… Read More »
Youth Justice News Roundup
We round up the latest news on youth justice reform and national public health.
- Compromise reached on "Second Chance" legislation; raising the age debate now closed. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy argued to raise the age of youth in the state juvenile justice system, but the debate ended last weekend in a compromise with Democratic leadership on bail reform for non-violent, misdemeanor offenses. [NBC Connecticut]
- White House deletes FDA's planned policy and rationale for restricting flavored e-cigarettes. After demonstrating the appeal of flavored products to youth and young adults, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) submitted a tobacco regulation on flavored e-cigarettes to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The FDA policy and rationale for the restrictions were deleted by the OMB; no comments on why at this time. [NBC News]
News from the National Executive Director, May 2016
America is facing a heroin and opiate crisis. Heroin is increasingly popular – a report by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration indicates that first-time heroin users doubled between 2006 and 2013 and data from the National Institute on Drug Abuse indicate that deadly heroin overdoses increased sixfold in the years between 2001 and 2014. More than ever before, this crisis is addressed as a public health issue more than a public safety or criminal justice issue. This shift has sparked much public debate about why this is the case. Have we finally reached a tipping point as a society in our views of addiction as a health concern? Have irresponsible pain management prescription practices contributed to opening our eyes to one of the epidemic's root causes? Some argue that race is a critical part of the story and feel that the shifting demographic – with an apparent increase in the proportion of white heroin and opiate users – is what has changed the perception of heroin abuse and finally mobilized policy makers. In this month's Reclaiming Futures newsletter, we focused our attention on the issues surrounding the opiate crisis and featured a new blog post by Reclaiming Futures Program and Policy Analyst Bridget Murphy.… Read More »

Shortfall loan may up debt by millions
County supervisors voted Monday to take the next step toward a loan in anticipation of taxes, after learning that the amount they can borrow may substantially exceed first estimates.
Board attorney Ellis Pittman said gaming tax revenues can be added to the amount anticipated from property taxes and that up to 25 percent of that amount could be borrowed.
"We're looking for a fiscal year tax," county administrator Michael Thompson said.
"All (property taxes and gaming tax revenue) can be considered taxes that you can get an anticipation loan on," Pittman restated.

Al-Qaida flourishes in Sahara, emerges stronger
RABAT, Morocco -- The Islamists are back as a force in Algeria.
The terrorist attack on an Algerian natural gas plant that left dozens of hostages and militants dead has demonstrated how a failing Algerian insurgency transformed itself into a regional threat, at least partly by exploiting the turmoil unleashed by the Arab Spring revolts.
Al-Qaida's branch in Algeria retreated into a Sahara no man's land after it was largely defeated by the Algerian army in a 10-year war in the 1990s. There it grew rich on smuggling and hostage-taking and re-emerged stronger than ever, armed with looted high-tech weapons from Libya's 2011 civil war.
The audacious assault Wednesday on Algeria's Ain Amenas gas complex shows how long-simmering ethnic tensions in Mali, a civil war in Algeria and a revolution in Libya have combined to create a conflict spanning the deserts and savannas of both North Africa and West Africa.
Algeria's Islamists were driven south into the desert by the military's brutal counterinsurgency tactics -- a take-no-prisoners approach vividly on display in the resolution of the latest hostage crisis.
Factions of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb became rich in the lawless desert.
While taking up the Tuareg cause in northern Mali, these al-Qaida-allied groups decided to use their newfound strength to settle scores against old opponents like Algeria and the West.

Erie man charged in kidnapping, robbery after traffic crash
Erie police said a traffic accident on the city's east side led to a kidnapping and armed robbery that ended when the victim escaped and one of the accused returned to the scene of the crime.
Dajon J. Jones, 20, is accused of holding the victim at gunpoint and threatening him after forcing the man into another vehicle, taking the his ATM card and demanding the victim's pin number, police said. Police charge that the victim was forced into a sport utility vehicle that appeared after Jones and the victim got into a motor vehicle accident at Buffalo Road and Bird Drive shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday.
According to police, Jones placed a phone call after the accident and the SUV with four people inside arrived a short time later. After the victim was forced into the SUV, he was driven around the area while the suspects demanded various amounts of money to pay for damages in the accident, police said.
The victim managed to escape from the SUV at a local gas station. He ran behind the gas station and the suspects fled, police said.
The victim gave police a description of the suspect involved in the accident and officers who responded found Jones, who matched the description, at Buffalo Road and Bird Drive, Erie police Lt. Stan Green said.
Jones, of the 2500 block of East 44th Street, was later arraigned by Erie 3rd Ward District Judge Tom Carney on charges of kidnapping, robbery, unlawful restraint, simple assault, receiving stolen property, theft and criminal conspiracy.
Carney set bond at $100,000.

By Fredreka Schouten, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON President-elect Barack Obama is not taking any corporate or federal lobbyist money to pay for his inauguration, but businesses and their lobbying arms are lining up to underwrite the celebrations surrounding his swearing-in Jan. 20.
American Airlines donated $40,000 to a Jan. 19 ball sponsored by the Illinois State Society, which represents Obama's home state. Chicago-based utility Exelon is donating $80,000 to the Illinois ball and a separate gala for Pennsylvania powerbrokers.
The Nuclear Energy Institute, which lobbies to build more nuclear power plants, will co-host an invitation-only party in a downtown office building where attendees can watch the Inaugural Parade. Tickets to many other balls are quickly snapped up by political insiders and members of state societies that sponsor them.
These gatherings aren't new, but government watchdog groups say they offer a view of the ways special interests can curry favor with politicians.
"These are lobbyist-sponsored soirees to have a great time and schmooze with members of Congress and congressional staff," said Craig Holman of Public Citizen. He said many of the events are "inherently unfair" because they aren't public.
Obama won't be the only politician feted next month. Despite new rules aimed at severing ties between lawmakers and special interests, members of Congress will be honored at inaugural events — including some paid by industries they regulate. An ethics law passed last year barred lawmakers from attending parties in their honor at national political conventions but was silent on inauguration-related events.
Textbook publishers and educational-software providers, for instance, are helping to pay for a ball honoring Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., chairman of the education committee.
Kennedy spokeswoman Melissa Wagner said the award recognizes the senator's "public policy efforts in support of education technology" and won't sway his decision-making.
Obama, who pledged that special interests would not have an inside track in his administration, is not accepting inaugural money from federal lobbyists, corporations, political action committees or unions. He has collected nearly $10 million to help pay expenses not covered by public funds. More than 240 people have donated.
Presidents and their wives traditionally attend only official balls. The Obamas will attend 10 official balls, most at the Washington Convention Center. He is giving tickets to invitation-only events to donors.
That hasn't stopped interest groups from planning unofficial parties. One example: The Creative Coalition, the entertainment industry's advocacy group, will host a gala featuring singer Sting. More than 40 lawmakers are "honorary" hosts.
"This is our welcome to the new president, the new administration and the new Congress," said Robin Bronk of the coalition, which pushes domestic movie production. "We believe in making our issues heard."
The Price of Power is an ongoing series tracking money in politics.

PHOTO GALLERY: Temple Owls at SMU Mustangs
Rattle and Hum Sports and Entertainment in Dallas Fort Worth
Rattle and Hum Sports and Entertainment in Dallas Fort Worth
It was a theme that has become all too familiar to Mustang fans. The Ponies play well against a superior opponent, but in the end, critical mistakes prevent them from winning.
Hopefully, the Mustangs' stay will extend through Sunday evening's NCAA selection show, as the plan is to return to Dallas immediately if they lose Saturday.
SMU forward Markus Kennedy set the tone early, scoring eight of the Mustangs first 10 points. Kennedy finished the night with 14 points and nine rebounds falling just short of his seventh career double-double. Kennedy has now led the Mustangs in points and rebounds in eight of SMU's last 12 games.
The game had big play after big play, but the biggest might have been Keenan Holman's 19 yard touchdown grab from Gilbert with 49 seconds left in the first half. That pitch and catch made the score 28-14 Temple.
