Topic: Poisonous Plants
Title: Is Echinacea poisonous to cats?
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Is the echinacea plant poisonous to cats?
ANSWER:Neither the lists of "plants poisonous to cats" on the web page for the Cat Fanciers' Association or on the web page for CatHelp On-Line lists Echinacea sp. Nor, is it listed on the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School Poisonous Plants database or on the Poisonous Plants of North Carolina database. If you google "plants poisonous cats", you can find other lists of plants considered poisonous to cats, but I didn't find Echinacea listed on any of the ones I checked. You can certainly check them out yourself to be sure that it doesn't appear on any list.

Jeph Loeb gives us a very good detective story. Better is his character-study, nuanced approach to the Dark Knight, himself. Loeb manages to bring fresh eyes to the Batman, displaying a longing and a loneliness previously unrevealed. The scenes with Catwoman are some of the best in years. Those with Nightwing (the original Robin) show growth and a new maturity for both characters. And, of course, the new villain - Hush, is a great addition to the rogues gallery.
Jim Lee's contribution is possibly even greater. He draws some of the most iconic and visually stunning pictures of Batman, EVER. There was Neal Adams, Norm Breyfogle, Dick Sprang, and Alex Ross. Add to the `Top 5 Batman Artists of All Time' list - Jim Lee. And he may have taken over the Number 1 spot, at that! Sharp, dynamic, and nothing less than electrifying, Lee's work here is some of the greatest artwork ever done in a graphic novel or comic book.
Ranking high on the list (just after The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: Year One, and Batman: Absolution), HUSH instantly becomes one of the most important and character-defining Batman stories of all time.
7 years ago for some reason he decided to take his life. It devastated our family and still continues too. Not a day goes by where I don't think of him or the Times we spent together.
For Christmas this year I received a kindle fire hd. Scrolling through the books I immediately locked In on "hush" . So many memories sparked In my brain and it was a definite buy for me.
The story was amazing. Every page filled with awesome artwork and colors that completely set the tone. From old villains to catwoman looking so seductive, from the twists and turns and brutal past to the beauty of a love story intertwined in such chaos.
Each twist and turn had me smiling just thinking of the time he probably spent trying to dissect the story and predict what was to come. Paying so much attention To the minor details. This story is more than a story for me. It's precious memories and thoughts of my brother being reawakened and relived
And I loved every minute of it!
Only a passing knowledge of Batman lore is needed to enjoy the story, and virtually all of the characters in his history make appearances of varying degrees. The highlight is his battle of wits with Superman, and seeing the famous contrast in styles between the two characters at work here, both as combatants and allies. It makes one desperately wish they'd make a live-action crossover film (and while one almost did get made before these current reboots, it seems unlikely now, save for the upcoming Justice League film). There are also some great interactions here between Clark, Bruce, and Lois.
Jim Lee's style can be a bit too technical and lacking in character, but I'm still a fan of his clean, dynamic style, and it's great to see it applied to the Batman world. His Catwoman/Selina is particularly memorable. The way all the characters are shoehorned into the story can come off as contrived in some regards, but for the most part it works and makes for a highly entertaining adventure.
Batman: Hush is great in regards to letting you get back into the mind of the Bat. Hush, him(or her)self, is a great villain that is well done and there is also a good number of cameos by other mainstays and a twisted ending to the whole thing to boot!
I highly, highly recommend it to new or longtime Batman fans. I feel you won't be disappointed.

SOCAR Vice-President says new fields should be discovered to keep oil price stable
Baku. Vusal Nabiyev – APA-Economics. "The fields discovered by Azerbaijan recent yars are gas-condensate fields. In spite of large volume of condensate in these fields, new fields should be discovered to keep oil price stable", SOCAR Vice-President Khoshbakht Yusifzade told journalists.
According to him, SOCAR is conducting offshore exploration works in the depth: "But mainly gas and condensate fields exist in these depths. Exploration of oil fields there are complicated. We return to onshore explorations again. There are Mesozoic sediments there. SOCAR intends to start exploration works with the new technologies. We have signed contracts with several foreign companies in this regard".

Dear Supporter,
Hard won gains to end gang-based solitary confinement in California are in jeopardy if Governor Jerry Brown has his way by adding 48 new gang investigators in the state budget, at a cost of $5.8 million.
Legislative Budget Committees are determining which items in the Governor's proposed budget to approve and which to reject. On Wednesday, the Senate voted to REJECT the $5.8 million for new gang investigators.
It is vitally important that the Assembly committee does the same.
Such investigators find reasons to label behaviors as "gang related" and to keep people in prison longer, or house them in long-term isolation. Now that hundreds of people have been taken out of solitary, after prisoners went on hunger strike three times between 2011 and 2013, we must not support new efforts to punish them.
The Gang Framework that has been governing the use of solitary confinement has been found to be completely unjustified. It should be dismantled and the money re-directed to positive programs.
Call the members of the Assembly Budget Subcommittee and urge them to reject the $5.8 million and stop investing in failed programs:
Nora Campos, Chair, 916-319-2027
Chris Holden, 916-319-2041
Tom Lackey, 916-319-2036
Melissa Melendez, 916-319-2067

Dear Supporter,
Sacramento heard you! Following months of community pressure and mobilizations, the Senate Budget Subcommittee on Public Safety — which more than 50 CURB members stormed on our April 7 Lobby Day — voted to reject the governor's proposed $250 million in jail construction funding.
This is a powerful moment, and we have got to keep the pressure on!
The proposed jail funding is slated to be heard by the more moderate Assembly Budget Subcommittee next week. We're targeting these Democracts: Asms. Nora Campos (San Jose), Phil Ting (San Francisco), and Freddie Rodriguez (Chino/Pomona). Asm. Chris Holden (Pasadena) has already expressed his opposition to the jail construction funding, and we thank him for his leadership!
We need to make sure these Assemblymembers stand strong in rejecting the $250 million for jail construction.
Send them an email, make a phone call and, if you're local, visit their district offices!
We know that building jails results in the tearing down of our communities. Let's help Sacramento understand what we truly need to be safe: housing, jobs, and health care — not more cages!
In Solidarity,
Misty Rojo
Justice Now
P.S. Do you live in San Francisco? Assemblymember Ting, the Chair of the Assembly Budget Committee, is having a Budget Town Hall tonight, May 19, and he needs to hear your voice! Email firstname.lastname@example.com for more info.

For immediate release: Senate committee votes against jail construction funding, communities celebrate and vow to continue fighting
Sacramento – In a move celebrated by community advocates and anti-imprisonment activists, the California State Senate rejected $250 million for jail construction earlier today. The vote comes after months of community pressure and a series of mobilizations to Sacramento organized by Californians United for a Responsible Budget (CURB), a statewide coalition of over 70 grassroots organizations working to reduce California's imprisonment system.
"We applaud the Senate for making this move and standing by what communities have been saying since this money was first proposed," said Tash Nguyen, local advocate with the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights in Oakland. "Our message has always been that California must stop wasting funds on harmful jail construction, and use that money to invest in much needed resources that strengthen our communities, including mental health care, affordable housing, and education."
The proposed jail funding is slated to be heard by the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Public Safety next week. The full legislature must pass the full budget by June 15, to be signed by the Governor by July 1.
"This victory reflects the power and will of Californians who are standing against more jails in their counties, but the fight is not over," said Kim Carter of the Time for Change Foundation in San Bernardino. "We won in the Senate, and we will continue to build on this momentum to ensure that decision makers in the Assembly are compelled to definitively reject any more money toward imprisonment."
Opponents of the jail funding have provided many alternatives that should be funded instead, a demand that is reflected in the recommendation approved by the Senate. Among the recommended investments are mental health and substance use treatment, reducing homelessness, and reentry support for current and former prisoners.
Despite the gains, community advocates are strongly denouncing a move to put more money into law enforcement, also included in the Senate's recommendation.
"The move away from jail construction is welcome, but must simultaneously be a move away from the institution that fills jails, and that is the police," says Christina Tsao, an organizer with Critical Resistance Los Angeles.
CURB will be monitoring the vote by the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Public Safety next week, as well as the Conference Committee and Governor's final versions of the state budget that will be solidified by the end of June.
Dear Supporter,
It's go-time for the California budget! Last Friday, Governor Jerry Brown released a revised state budget that divests $250 million from communities for jail construction, fortifies and expands the prison system, and fails to support urgently needed programs and services in the community.
Now we need to make sure the legislature rejects this irresponsible and harmful expenditure of critical tax dollars!
Over the next few weeks, the legislature will work on producing its version of the budget, and they could vote on the jail construction funding as early as next Monday!
Let your legislator know that California needs to repair the damage that incarceration has unleashed on low-income communities of color — not expand the very system that induced the harm.
As long as counties continue receiving funding to build up and fill up their jails, they will fail to evaluate promising reforms that could shrink the number of cages and reduce the number of people they imprison. We must demand that our elected officials begin addressing our needs with care, not cages.
How would you spend $250 million? Tell your representative now!
In Solidarity,
Diana Zuñiga and Lizzie Buchen
Co-Coordinators, Californians United for a Responsible Budget
For Immediate Release – May 13, 2016
Press Contact:
Lizzie Buchen, Co-Coordinator, Californians United for a Responsible Budget
Sacramento – Governor Jerry Brown released a revised state budget today that divests $250 million from communities for jail construction, fortifies and expands the prison system, and fails to support urgently needed programs and services in the community. Despite Brown's promised commitment to a durable solution to the state's prison crisis, his budget lacks any reforms that would meaningfully reduce the prison population, instead bucking national trends in projecting a growth in the number of people imprisoned in California.
"This May Revision, like numerous budgets during the Brown administration, shovels billions of dollars down the black hole of incarceration while disguising it as reentry and rehabilitative support for people incarcerated," said Diana Zuñiga, Co-Coordinator of Californians United for a Responsible Budget. "Time and time again funding that could go to support community needs is instead going towards expanding CDCR and Sheriff infrastructure, prioritizing the policing and imprisonment of communities of color."
California has a critical opportunity to significantly and sustainably reduce the number of people imprisoned in county jails. Yet despite his refrains about fiscal responsibility, Brown is proposing to move the state in the opposite direction by expanding the county jail system, pouring another $250 million into jail construction to bring the total to nearly $2.5 billion in jail expansion since 2008.
"Every dollar spent on jail construction is a dollar diverted from community services and alternatives to incarceration," says Christina Tsao, an organizer with Critical Resistance Los Angeles. "Adding beds to the jail system will discourage counties from making changes that have already been proven to reduce the population, and would remove any incentive to explore new alternatives. Instead the state stays the course of caging instead of caring for poor people of color."
Despite Brown's assurances of reducing the size of our enormous prison system, his revised budget continues moving in the opposite direction: Spending $6 million to "repair" the dilapidated prison in Norco, instead of closing it down as has been promised for several years; extending the contracts with private prisons in California and other states; and funding a $5.4 million evaluation to plan for the renovation and replacement of the state's 12 oldest prisons, rather than sustainably reduce the prison population and close the most remote, inhumane, and dilapidated facilities.
"Today's Revise takes a page right out of the jail expansion playbook, trying to change the image of CDCR by hiding prison expansion behind 'additional investments to support inmate rehabilitation,'" says Deb Reyes, an organizer with the California Prison Moratorium Project. California doesn't need renovated 'social service prisons', we need fewer prisons," says Deb Reyes, an organizer with the California Prison Moratorium Project. "They have already tried the trick of adding the R back into CDCR. A "rehabilitative vision" requires true investments in communities most damaged by mass incarceration and decades of wasted funding in prison expansion is not that!"
Brown also proposes $5.8 million to increase staffing of the Investigative Services Unit, targeting alleged "gang" activity connected to the release of people from long-term solitary confinement in Pelican Bay State Prison due to the Ashker v. Brown settlement.
"This increase in ISU staffing is completely unwarranted," says Marie Levin, an organizer with the Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity coalition, whose brother was held in solitary confinement for 31 years until the settlement. "Many of the men who have been released from the SHU are peacemakers, and they are helping to bring about the decrease in violence in the General Population that the CDCR has been exploiting since the settlement."
The budget still falls short of what is needed to truly address community needs, including community-based substance use treatment, child care slots, housing, expanding healthcare to undocumented adults, and strengthening community-led workforce training.
"The budget revenue surplus should go into investments for the nine million Californians living in poverty, instead of into the rainy day fund," says Maribel Nunez, director of California Partnership. "Instead of $250 million going into more jail construction, we need to see the state properly fund SSI and SSP, invest in Health4All, and restore the cuts to MediCal reimbursements and child care."
Dear Supporter,
After our victory last December against the new San Francisco jail, we now have a critical opportunity to contribute to a new future for our city, in which we stop shoring up our systems for policing and imprisonment and start building community self-determination.
Several members of the No New SF Jail Coalition have joined a city working group to develop a plan to close the jail at 850 Bryant St and to meet the needs of communities most impacted by incarceration in San Francisco.
Our next meeting is this Friday, and we need a strong community presence!
To continue focusing our efforts on practical steps to achieve this goal, the Coalition has compiled a list of guidelines to shape the discussions of the working group, requiring that any new programs and facilities that are established meet the following criteria: Open, unlocked facilities; user-led and self-determined; reinvestment in community; run by community-based service providers, not law enforcement; provides equitable access to care; incorporates bail and bond reform; creates pathways toward permanent and sustainable housing; closes 850 Bryant immediately.
Read the full guidelines to learn more, and join us on Friday to help build a better, stronger, more liberated city for all:

Dear Supporter,
The RISE Act, SB 966 (Mitchell), is making national headlines! This morning, Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow, writes in the Los Angeles Times about why California must pass SB 966 and begin treating our communities with care, compassion, and concern — not cages.
Read her powerful op-ed and share it widely!
The RISE Act would repeal the three-year sentence enhancement for prior drug convictions. It fell just three votes short of a majority in the Senate two weeks ago, but gets one more chance to make it through this year.
Michelle Alexander writes that "thousands of families have been broken apart and communities throughout the state have been destabilized" by our punitive drug laws.
"Automatically adding years to a drug sentence is a weapon of individual and community destruction disguised as an expression of concern," she says.
"Passing SB 966 is an important step in the state's belated journey toward justice and healing in our communities."
Please share Michelle Alexander's wise words with your friends, family, and state representatives! Our primary targets are the five Democrats who abstained from the vote: Sens. Hueso, Jackson, Hertzberg, Wolk, and Mendoza. Find out who your Senator is by clicking here.

Dear Supporter,
As we continue to fight against the proposed construction of a new $200 million women's jail in Los Angeles County we want to invite you to the LANMJ Mother's Day Event to celebrate our victories and our women.
Last year's event was a moving experience for everyone involved. Just check out the video that was created by an LANMJ member.
This Mother's Day Event, like last year's, will focus on bringing love and healing to those visiting their loved ones at the
current women's jail in Lynwood. We will have an art space for children, a listening station for visitors, and a photographer to caputure each family's experience.
Will you join us for this amazing event?
When: Sunday, May 8th from 8am-12pm
Where: Central Regional Detention Center (11705 S. Alameda St. Lynwood, 90059)
There will be Spanish translation available, snacks, and water!
Can't join? Will you help us by sharing this video on social media with the hashtags #nomorejails and #nowomensjail?
We know you will continue to stand with us in our fight against incarceration in LA and across the state. We hope to see you on Mother's Day!
Dear Supporter,
I'm an undocumented and unafraid organizer with the Immigrant Youth Coalition. A few weeks ago, I attended my first CURB lobby day, along with other immigrant community members impacted by incarceration, detention, and deportation.
It was so powerful to see community members from across the state coming together to share stories, advocate for care and not cages, and make elected officials aware of these issues. My uncle was incarcerated, detained in immigration detention, deported, and separated from his two little daughters.
I know the pain that comes from having a loved one detained, and I want to thank those of you who were at CURB's Care Not Cages 2016 statewide lobby day for making it so special.
More than 50 people came out to tell legislators to stop prioritizing jails over people and to start investing in our communities. Seeing the familiar — and new — faces of CURB members fill the halls of the Capitol was a powerful demonstration of the capacity of our coalition. (Check out the photos on our Facebook page!)
And we aren't done. With just a few clicks, you can take part in CURB's next step –a Thunderclap to synchronize our message for #NoMoreJails and #CareNotCages on social media, amplifying our voices so we can break through and be heard.
Through May and June, the legislature and governor will continue finalizing the budget. They heard us loud and clear on April 7, and we'll need to keep the pressure on to make sure they stop pouring more money into jails and prisons.
Will you sign up for this Thunderclap to spread the word that we want to invest in are and communities, not cages?
We know that we couldn't do this work without you, and we want to thank you for your dedication. Help us spread a message on the budget that can't be ignored!
In solidarity,
Marcela Hernandez
Dear Supporter,
We in the Alameda County Jail Fight Coalition invite you to join us in a community forum to build grassroots power against Alameda County's $54 million mental health jail project. We believe that this money should instead be spent prioritizing community-based mental health treatment not more incarceration capacity at the Santa Rita Jail.
Will you come and learn about the proposed county jail expansion?
We will provide an overview of what's currently happening with the fight, learn from organizers who defeated San Francisco's new jail, and then we will split into three breakout groups to develop three main strategies: base-building, media, and legislative.
Join us on May 5th and invite your friends!
When: Thursday, May 5th from 6-8:30pm, with free food and child care provided
Where: First Unitarian Church of Oakland (685 14th St., Oakland, CA 94612)
The First Unitarian Church is wheelchair accessible, with gender-neutral restrooms. This will be a fragrance-free event. Please refrain from wearing scents such as perfumes/colognes, scented lotions, clothing with strong detergent scents, etc.
We look forward to seeing you there!
In solidarity,
Tash Nguyen

Serious educational games (SEG) have been shown to be effective in educating young people about a range of topics, including languages and maths. This paper identifies the use of computerised SEGs in education about alcohol and other drugs and reviews their impact on the prevention of alcohol and drug use.
The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, ERIC, Scopus, psychINFO, pubMED and DRUG databases were searched in February 2013. Additional publications were obtained from the reference lists of the relevant papers. Studies were included if they described an evaluation of a computerised SEG that targeted alcohol and/or other drugs and had been trialled with adolescents.
Key Findings
Eight SEGs were identified targeting tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, methamphetamine, ecstasy, inhalants, cocaine and opioids. Six reported positive outcomes in terms of increased content knowledge and two reported increased negative attitudes towards the targeted drugs. Only one reported a decrease in the frequency of drug use.
Implications and Conclusion
This is the first review of the efficacy of computerised SEGs for alcohol and other drugs for adolescents. Results suggest that SEGs can increase content knowledge of alcohol and other drugs. Evidence concerning impacts on negative attitudes and alcohol and drug use is limited, with few studies examining these outcomes.
Use of alcohol and other drugs is associated with considerable burden of disease, social costs and harms, especially in young people [1–4]. Nearly three-quarters of young Australians aged 12–17 years have had a full serving of alcohol, 6.4% have consumed alcohol at levels that put them at risk of injury at least once in the past seven days (defined as more than four drinks on a single occasion), and approximately one in six (15.6%) have tried an illicit substance [5]. Considering that early initiation into drug use is a risk factor for the development of substance use disorders, comorbid health problems, juvenile offending and impaired educational performance, it is important that evidence-based drug and alcohol education and prevention be initiated and implemented early [6–9].
Video gaming is a method of education that is gaining attention due to its popularity with younger audiences [10]. A video game is played on a digital device and can be described as a mental contest with a goal or objective, played according to rules that determine what a player can and cannot do inside the game world [11]. The use of video games is evidently becoming increasingly common with the younger population, with a recent study finding that out of a sample of 974 secondary school students in Australia, 95% had played video games in their lifetime [12]. Additionally, studies have suggested that playing video games can contribute to positive emotions, emotional stability and better attachment to school as compared to non-players [13,14].
Serious games, which are video games developed primarily for reasons other than entertainment [15,16], have been developed in the areas of education, rehabilitation, therapy, and medical and public health training [10,17–23]. Serious educational games (SEGs), which are developed primarily for educational purposes [15,16], have shown they can be effective in increasing the knowledge of adolescents in the areas of languages, maths, geography and computer science [10,23–28]. In some cases the use of SEGs were shown to be as effective in knowledge acquisition as non-gaming controls and to maintain higher motivation in learners [24,28]. Aside from increasing motivation and knowledge, other benefits found from SEGs include the promotion of general problem-solving skills, goal-oriented behaviour, strategic thinking, cognitive skills and visual attention [13,29–34]. However, exactly what aspect of playing these games promotes these outcomes is uncertain, and whether it can apply more specifically to SEGs on alcohol and other drugs has not been explored.
Modern theories of learning suggest that learning is most effective when it is active, experiential, situated, problem-based and provides immediate feedback, and games can be argued to offer more of these than traditional approaches to teaching [35]. The use of computers to deliver SEGs has its own potential benefits, as the use of computers has been shown to accelerate learning, develop more positive attitudes to learning and result in a longer retention of information when compared with traditional methods of teaching [36–38]. Furthermore, the medium of a computer means that the game is easily accessible, is consistent, requires minimum preparation time for teachers and can be easily updated [39,40].
A recent review by Connolly [15] explored the empirical evidence on the positive impacts and outcomes of computer games and serious games. Results showed that SEGs have been developed across a range of curricular areas, but mainly in tertiary and secondary education; however, none of the studies covered included SEGs on alcohol and other drugs. Regarding the serious educational games included, knowledge acquisition was a frequent outcome, although randomised controlled trials were uncommon. Nevertheless, Connolly's review highlights the potential benefits of SEGs, though also the need for further studies.
Taking into account the positive impacts SEGs can have on knowledge and behaviour change, as well as the importance of early implementation of drug and alcohol education, this paper will report a systematic review of computerised SEGs for alcohol and other drugs that have been trialled with adolescents.
Data sources
The Cochrane Library, Embase, MEDLINE, ERIC, Scopus, psychINFO, pubMED and DRUG databases were searched in February 2013 using the following keywords: 'alcohol OR drug OR cannabis OR ecstasy OR marijuana OR amphetamine OR psychostimulant', 'prevention OR education OR schools', 'game OR gaming OR interactive OR application' and 'internet OR computer OR web OR online OR virtual'. The titles and abstracts of the 1180 articles identified were independently reviewed, and full copies of potentially relevant papers were obtained to determine if they met the inclusion criteria. Publications were also obtained from the reference lists of the relevant papers and by contacting authors via email where the full text was not available. Articles were excluded if they did not describe a computer-based game on the topic of alcohol or other drugs or were published before the year 2000. Studies were included if they described an evaluation of a SEG which targeted alcohol and/or other drugs and had been trialled with adolescents. Figure 1 displays a flowchart of the search strategy and study selection process.
Outcome measures
The main measure evaluated was gains in content knowledge from baseline to post-test. Differences between baseline and post-test were also reported for a range of other measures, including drug-related attitudes and drug use.
Due to the limited number of studies included and the heterogeneity of study design and outcome measures, it was not possible to combine the results into a meta-analysis. Consequently, results have been reported in a systematic review.
Overall, eight computerised SEGs were identified. All eight of the games were universal, that is, they were delivered to all participants regardless of their level of risk for alcohol or drug use. The games adopted either an educational (n = 6) or social influence approach (n = 2). The games that adopted an educational approach presented the students with knowledge about the science of alcohol and other drug use, assuming that this knowledge would contribute to better decision-making regarding alcohol and other drugs. The games that adopted a social influence approach taught students to resist drugs by providing drug-related information, resistance skills training and normative education [41,42].
Of the eight games, four were delivered online, three were available via CD-ROM and one was presented on an autostereoscopic 3D display on a computer. All trials were conducted in the USA, except for one that was conducted in the UK. All trials were mixed-gender and were conducted on students in early adolescence (10–14 years of age). Of the identified trials, the Head On and Thinking Not Drinking trials were the only randomised controlled trials with a control group, which received an alternate alcohol prevention program called Life Skills Training and no program at all, respectively [43,44]. Four of the trials had pre- and post-test delays of a minimum of two to three days [45–48]. One study [49] took only post-test measures, immediately after participants played through the game.
Table 1 shows the outcomes for each trial. Of the six games that took an educational approach, the results for five showed a quantitative increase of content knowledge from the game, data for four of which were collected at a follow-up of at least three days after playing the game [45–48]. Two of the educational games were also associated with more negative attitudes towards the targeted drugs [45,50]. The other two games, Head On and Thinking Not Drinking, adopted a social influence approach. The first was associated with retention of content knowledge as well as reduced frequency of smoking, drinking and marijuana use, while the latter appeared to produce an increased perception of the harm of alcohol as well as increased assertiveness skills [43,44]. Qualitative data were collected in one study through interviews, which were conducted immediately after playing through the game [49].

This is the first review of computerised SEGs targeting alcohol and other drug use in adolescents. Eight trials of computerised SEGs were identified, seven of which showed quantitative evidence for positive outcomes, including the reduction of alcohol and drug use for one game which adopted a social influence approach. The most frequently measured outcomes were content/knowledge acquisition and increased negative attitudes towards the targeted drug. Results show that SEGs on this subject can be a potentially effective method for teaching and perhaps even for changing attitudes and behaviours towards alcohol and other drug use. If further studies show SEGs can be effective in changing attitudes and behaviours towards alcohol and other drug use, they could potentially reduce the significant harm and costs associated with alcohol and other drug use by young people, especially if they are able to delay the initiation of drug use [6–9].
Although the number of trials identified in this review is very small, the results have implications for the use of SEGs for educating people and preventing the use of alcohol and other drugs. The results of this study, indicating that playing SEGs about alcohol and other drugs can lead to knowledge acquisition and potential changes in attitudes and behaviour, parallels the effects shown for SEGs on other educational topics [10,23–28]. However, evidence suggesting that SEGs on alcohol and other drugs are more effective than traditional methods of teaching is still needed due to the absence of comparable control groups. Future studies should seek to include control groups where participants would be taught the content provided in the game through traditional teaching methods or have only the outcome measures recorded and receive no educational material.
A limitation to this study is the small number of trials included in this review and the inconsistency of the outcome measures assessed. It would be useful to investigate whether the content knowledge gained and changes in attitudes also accompanied changes in behaviours in the studies that did not already measure this. On top of this, in the selected studies, the longest delay before taking the post-test measures was three days; a more delayed follow-up at post-test would be useful in determining whether the measured outcomes were lasting. Additionally, none of the games were evaluated more than once, highlighting the need for cross-validation and replication studies of these existing games to provide further support for the effectiveness of SEGs about alcohol and other drugs for adolescents.
Overall, the results from the trials identified in this study and the evidence of effectiveness from SEGs on other educational topics suggest that computerised SEGs may have the potential to educate young people about and prevent the use of alcohol and other drugs. Further studies are needed to examine whether this approach can also change behaviours and if these changes persist in the long term. The further investigation and development of successful SEGs has the potential to lead to a new teaching method that engages students, can easily be implemented in schools and, importantly, addresses the significant harm and cost caused by alcohol and other drug use among young people.

Why? Stretches the upper and middle back as well as the chest and shoulders.
How? Crouch down on all fours, then take a deep breath in. As you exhale, slide your hands away from you, shoulder-width apart, palms facing down. Keep your thighs perpendicular to the floor.

Man sentenced to jail for making fun of girl.

It's not just "making fun of girl" OP, it's harassment to the point where the little girl was afraid to leave the house.
It's repulsive and stuff like this has to stop!
Yes it does have to stop, if you are a whinny little bitch. We live in a harsh world with harsh realities. When she grows up she will have to deal with much worse from the world. I am not condoning his actions, however, bullying is not a crime, being a dick is not a crime, she was afraid to leave the house, let her mother tell her that people like this exist every where and you can't hide from the world just because your feelings are hurt. Teach her to stand up for herself, ignore mean people, and be proud of herself. Stop defending government laws that go against the very constitution that our soldiers have fought to defend.

David Caruso
For his part, Caruso, the son of a former Newsweek editor and a library administrator, is proud of his arresting edge. "My visibility may have gotten Hollywood to redefine what's attractive," he says. Maintaining that definition with daily workouts and low-fat food, Caruso shares his spacious West L.A. home with girlfriend Paris Papiro, 30, a former masseuse, and weekends with daughter Greta, 9 (by second wife, actress Rachel Ticotin). Set to star on the big screen in the remake of the 1947 thriller Kiss of Death, Caruso isn't getting a big head. The only difference now, he quipped, is that "women are not totally nauseous after seeing me." But they do get dizzy, David.
