Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a plant from Central Asia that is grown in many parts of the world today. The Cannabis plant produces a resin containing compounds called cannabinoids. Some cannabinoids are psychoactive (acting on the brain and changing mood or consciousness). In the United States, Cannabis is a controlled substance and has been classified as a Schedule I agent (a drug with a high potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use).
Clinical trials that study medicinal Cannabis in cancer are limited. To do research with Cannabis in the United States, researchers must file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), receive a Schedule I license from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and gain approval from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
By federal law, the possession of Cannabis (marijuana) is illegal in the United States outside of approved research settings. However, a growing number of states, territories, and the District of Columbia have enacted laws to legalize medical marijuana. (See Question 4).
Cannabinoids are active chemicals in Cannabis that cause drug-like effects throughout the body, including the central nervous system and the immune system. They are also known as phytocannabinoids. The main active cannabinoid in Cannabis is delta-9-THC. Another active cannabinoid is cannabidiol (CBD), which may relieve pain and lower inflammation without causing the "high" of delta-9-THC.
Cannabinoids may be useful in treating the side effects of cancer and cancer treatment.
Other possible effects of cannabinoids include:
The use of Cannabis for medicinal purposes dates back at least 3,000 years. It came into use in Western medicine in the 19th century and was said to relieve pain, inflammation, spasms, and convulsions.
In 1937, the U.S. Treasury began taxing Cannabis under the Marijuana Tax Act at one dollar per ounce for medicinal use and one hundred dollars per ounce for non-medical use. The American Medical Association (AMA) opposed this regulation of Cannabis and did not want studies of its potential medicinal benefits to be limited. In 1942, Cannabis was removed from the U.S. Pharmacopoeia because of continuing concerns about its safety. In 1951, Congress passed the Boggs Act, which included Cannabis with narcotic drugs for the first time.
Under the Controlled Substances Act passed by Congress in 1970, marijuana was classified as a Schedule I drug. Other Schedule I drugs include heroin, LSD, mescaline, methaqualone, and gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB).
Although Cannabis was not believed to have any medicinal use, the U.S. government distributed it to patients on a case-by-case basis under the Compassionate Use Investigational New Drug (IND) program started in 1978. This program was closed to new patients in 1992.
Researchers have studied how cannabinoids act on the brain and other parts of the body. Cannabinoid receptors (molecules that bind cannabinoids) have been discovered in brain cells and nerve cells in other parts of the body. The presence of cannabinoid receptors on immune system cells suggests that cannabinoids may have a role in immunity.
Nabiximols (Sativex) is a Cannabisextract that contains delta-9-THC and cannabidiol (CBD). Nabiximols is approved in Canada (under the Notice of Compliance with Conditions) for relief of pain in patients with advanced cancer or multiple sclerosis.
Though federal law prohibits the use of Cannabis, the map below shows the states and territories that have legalized Cannabis for medical purposes. Some other states have legalized only one ingredient in Cannabis, such as cannabidiol (CBD), and these states are not included in the map. Medical marijuana laws vary from state to state.A map showing the U.S. states and territories that have approved the medical use of Cannabis.
Cannabis may be taken by mouth or may be inhaled. When taken by mouth (in baked products or as an herbal tea), the main psychoactive ingredient in Cannabis (delta-9-THC) is processed by the liver, making an additional psychoactive chemical.
When Cannabis is smoked and inhaled, cannabinoids quickly enter the bloodstream. The additional psychoactive chemical is produced in smaller amounts than when taken by mouth.
A growing number of clinical trials are studying a medicine made from an extract of Cannabis that contains specific amounts of cannabinoids. This medicine is sprayed under the tongue.
Preclinical studies of cannabinoids have investigated the following:
Antitumor activity
Stimulating appetite
Pain relief
Nausea and vomiting
Anxiety and sleep
No ongoing clinical trials of Cannabis as a treatment for cancer in humans have been found in the CAM on PubMed database maintained by the National Institutes of Health.
Cannabis and cannabinoids have been studied in clinical trials for ways to manage side effects of cancer and cancer therapies, including the following:
Adverse side effects of cannabinoids may include:
Because Cannabis smoke contains many of the same substances as tobacco smoke, there are concerns about how inhaled cannabis affects the lungs. A study of over 5,000 men and women without cancer over a period of 20 years found that smoking tobacco was linked with some loss of lung function but that occasional and low use of cannabis was not linked with loss of lung function.
Because use of Cannabis over a long time may have harmful effects on the endocrine and reproductive systems, rates of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) in Cannabis users have been studied. Larger studies that follow patients over time and laboratory studies of cannabinoid receptors in TGCTs are needed to find if there is a link between Cannabis use and a higher risk of TGCTs.
A review of bladder cancer rates in Cannabis users and non-users was done in over 84,000 men who took part in the California Men's Health Study. Over 16 years of follow-up and adjusting for age, race/ethnic group and body mass index (BMI), rates of bladder cancer were found to be 45% lower in Cannabis users than in men who did not report Cannabis use.
Both Cannabis and cannabinoids may be addictive.
Symptoms of withdrawal from cannabinoids may include:
These symptoms are mild compared to withdrawal from opiates and usually lessen after a few days.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved Cannabis or cannabinoids for use as a cancer treatment.
Cannabis is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of any cancer-related symptom or side effect of cancer therapy.
Two cannabinoids (dronabinol and nabilone) are approved by the FDA for the treatment of chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting in patients who have not responded to standard therapy.

About PDQ
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government's center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
Purpose of This Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about the use of Cannabis and cannabinoids in the treatment of people with cancer. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Reviewers and Updates
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Integrative, Alternative, and Complementary Therapies Editorial Board.
Clinical Trial Information
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's website. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)-also called integrative medicine-includes a broad range of healing philosophies, approaches, and therapies. A therapy is generally called complementary when it is used in addition to conventional treatments; it is often called alternative when it is used instead of conventional treatment. (Conventional treatments are those that are widely accepted and practiced by the mainstream medical community.) Depending on how they are used, some therapies can be considered either complementary or alternative. Complementary and alternative therapies are used in an effort to prevent illness, reduce stress, prevent or reduce side effects and symptoms, or control or cure disease.
Unlike conventional treatments for cancer, complementary and alternative therapies are often not covered by insurance companies. Patients should check with their insurance provider to find out about coverage for complementary and alternative therapies.
Cancer patients considering complementary and alternative therapies should discuss this decision with their doctor, nurse, or pharmacist as they would any type of treatment. Some complementary and alternative therapies may affect their standard treatment or may be harmful when used with conventional treatment.
It is important that the same scientific methods used to test conventional therapies are used to test CAM therapies. The National Cancer Institute and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) are sponsoring a number of clinical trials (research studies) at medical centers to test CAM therapies for use in cancer.
Conventional approaches to cancer treatment have generally been studied for safety and effectiveness through a scientific process that includes clinical trials with large numbers of patients. Less is known about the safety and effectiveness of complementary and alternative methods. Few CAM therapies have been tested using demanding scientific methods. A small number of CAM therapies that were thought to be purely alternative approaches are now being used in cancer treatment-not as cures, but as complementary therapies that may help patients feel better and recover faster. One example is acupuncture. According to a panel of experts at a National Institutes of Health (NIH) meeting in November 1997, acupuncture has been found to help control nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy and pain related to surgery. However, some approaches, such as the use of laetrile, have been studied and found not to work and to possibly cause harm.
The NCI Best Case Series Program which was started in 1991, is one way CAM approaches that are being used in practice are being studied. The program is overseen by the NCI's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM). Health care professionals who offer alternative cancer therapies submit their patients' medical records and related materials to OCCAM. OCCAM carefully reviews these materials to see if any seem worth further research.
When considering complementary and alternative therapies, patients should ask their health care provider the following questions:
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH)
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) facilitates research and evaluation of complementary and alternative practices, and provides information about a variety of approaches to health professionals and the public.
CAM on PubMed
NCCIH and the NIH National Library of Medicine (NLM) jointly developed CAM on PubMed, a free and easy-to-use search tool for finding CAM-related journal citations. As a subset of the NLM's PubMed bibliographic database, CAM on PubMed features more than 230,000 references and abstracts for CAM-related articles from scientific journals. This database also provides links to the websites of over 1,800 journals, allowing users to view full-text articles. (A subscription or other fee may be required to access full-text articles.)
Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine
The NCI Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM) coordinates the activities of the NCI in the area of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). OCCAM supports CAM cancer research and provides information about cancer-related CAM to health providers and the general public via the NCI website.

Crafty ol' Larry King might just have tricked one Jonas brother into admitting his sibling is dating Miley Cyrus, and he didn't need a waterboard to do it.
In a CNN interview, King appears to have confirmed rumors about Nick Jonas and the Hannah Montana star, climbing over a dumbstruck Joe Jonas to get to the heart of the matter. First, King got all three boys to admit that, yes, they not only like girls, they date them, too! The young pop stars tried to be coy and avoid the legendary, suspender-wearing griller's traps, but poor Joe walked right into one.
"Joe, do you have a girlfriend?" King asked.
The boys fidgeted, doubtlessly aware that handlers have told them any tangible, personal connection to a female could spawn wailing and gnashing of teeth from heartbroken junior high school girls everywhere.
"Yes I do," Joe piped up as his brothers trembled. "Well, we date, and we've always said we have, and....."
Then sprang King's treacherous trap. "Is she as famous as his?" King asked, nodding innocently at Nick, who morphed into a deer caught in the headlights.
"Uh, I don't think anybody's as famous as Miley Cyrus," Joe answered. Realizing what he'd let slip, the poor kid tried to defer King's unnecessary attempt to clarify the revelation to older brother Kevin.
"For all of us, um, we've always dated, and I think we've always, um tried to keep, um, kind of private --" he said.
At which point King wholeheartedly agreed that the lads are entitled to their private lives and politely moved on to discussing the Jonas Brothers' new album.

Jesus Takes the Wheel in Hilarious Viral Video About Carrie Underwood Song
Over Labor Day weekend, two teens had some fun with Carrie Underwood's 'Jesus Take the Wheel.' In a video posted to Vine, one finds a young man driving a car with the song from 2005 cranked to 10. And then ... well, it's best if you watch for yourself.
While the teen is driving slowly through a parking lot, it's not clear how Jesus hides and then enters the car. Does he lean around from the backseat? Is he on a scooter alongside the car? Did Jesus really resurrect and take the wheel of this Nissan? These are the questions the Taste of Country staff are sure to be batting around the rest of the day.
This video -- posted by Vine user Nick Pasquale -- showed up as a GIF on Reddit's GIFs subreddit on Tuesday night (Sept. 3) and has remained on the front page since, with over 2,300 upvotes. The full Vine video was shared in the comments section.
Underwood is also a regular user of Vine, recently posting a video of husband Mike Fisher's encounter with a chipmunk. She hasn't commented on this remake of her song just yet.

My favorite pattern of the moment (sorry damask) is chevron! I love it and had to incorporate it into my home somehow.
*paint colors: Silver Sateen by Behr, Alabaster by Sherwin Williams, Warm Yellow by Rustoleum
I wanted to do a gray and white chevron wall, but had to decide where to do it. Our guest room has been gray, yellow, and brown for a few years, so I chose that room. I liked the brown walls, but thought it was time for a change. I then had to decide which wall I wanted to create the pattern on. Originally I was thinking the wall behind the bed, but then thought that it would be too busy (with the window breaking up the pattern, sconces, lamps, etc). So I decided on the wall adjacent to the bed. Wall before:
**Basically, no matter what I have done or will do to this room is a vast improvement from what it was when we closed on our house (it was a destroyed foreclosure and I am creating a page with before and afters of the whole house, so check back soon!). Here is the beast when we closed on the house back in September 2008:
This is me (behind) and my friend, Christina, in '08 painting the ceilings of this room (can you BELIEVE I BOUGHT THIS PLACE?!!?!?)
I will take you through the adventure of how to create a chevron wall. If you need assistance with figuring out which wall might work well in your home or calculating the measurements please comment on this post or reach out me on my 'contact me' page with your email and I will get back to you asap!
Here is what you'll need:
- a ruler (I like metal…nice sharp edges)
- a yardstick or long perfectly straight stick, rod, etc
- paints and painting supplies
- painter's tape (I spent a little more on the kind with 'edge lock' for this project…I wanted very clean and crisp lines on my chevron)
- a razor blade
1. The first thing I did was calculate and plan out my chevron pattern. I measured the width and height (from the top of the floor trim) of the wall. I wanted to make sure that I had full sides of chevrons ending at the walls, so the pattern wasn't cut off. I wanted the pattern to be fairly large in scale, so it wasn't too busy. I decided I wanted 5 points going across and each row to be about 9 inches wide.
Refer to the below image that I color coded to hopefully make sense to you. The width of the main wall (not including area above the door) is 103.5 inches. I divided that by 5 (number of points) which meant that each chevron needed to be 20.7 (20 5/8) inches apart. I divided this number by two and figured each diagonal section needs to be 10.35 (10 5/16) inches apart.
**Spending a little time before you get started will save you frustration and confusion. I am visual, so I drew the layout of my pattern and referred to it throughout this project.
2. I removed outlet and switch covers, taped off the floor trim to protect it, & set plastic down. I painted the whole wall white. I painted it the lighter color first, so when I later painted the darker gray I had good coverage.
3. This is where I felt overwhelmed. I had to measure out all the dots that I was going to connect with tape to create the pattern. I started at the top corner. I measured 10 5/16 inches over and marked a dot. Then I measured another 10 5/16″, etc, etc, etc until I had the top row of my chevron marked out.
4. After that I measured down 9 5/16 inches down from each dot to create my second row. I repeated this until I had a bazzillion dots on my wall. I made sure that my rows were staying straight by taking a yardstick every once in a while and lining up the dots. If I thought they were starting to get a little off I would adjust my dots a bit.
5. Time for a drink.
6. I now had to connect the dots with painter's tape to create the pattern. I made sure that I was placing the tape so it would be on the outside of the rows that I was about to paint gray.
7. I then cut off the extra tape that overlapped into the rows that were to be painted gray. I used my metal ruler to use as a guide to score the tape with a razor blade (you don't need to cut really hard into your wall, just slice through the tape).
8. I painted the necessary sections gray with a small roller. I did paint one row at a time and then removed the tape before painting a new row. This prevented the paint from drying to the tape and then pulling up when I removed the tape.
*I think gray paint is the hardest to get right. It can have so many different undertones and can look very different in various light. Make sure you compare various grays between each other, against something gray that you like, and look at your paint samples in different lights before choosing one*
9. Finally it was done! I re-attached outlet and switch covers (and painted them gray, so my pattern wasn't disrupted).
10. The last step was to get the room back in order, sit back, and feel proud of my new trendy wall!

For years, practitioners in just about every field took research conducted primarily with male subjects and applied the findings to women. Recently, however, researchers have begun to question the applicability of those findings to women-and the answer has been mixed.
One area in which the applicability of gender-neutral data has come under scrutiny is corrections. A recent report of the National Institute of Corrections states that, at the same time that the number of female inmates has been increasing significantly, the criminal justice system has too often—and with difficulty—tried to implement with women inmates "policies and procedures that…[were] designed for male offenders."[1] This practice may be ineffective because studies show that female inmates must overcome unique social, emotional, and physical challenges that impede their ability to integrate smoothly back into society following a period of incarceration.
Change is now well under way. Inmate rehabilitation programs are being developed specifically for female inmates. Older programs originally designed for male inmates are being evaluated to see how appropriate they are for incarcerated women.
NIJ studies looked at drug addiction treatment and other rehabilitation programs for female inmates in various jurisdictions. These studies point out the distinct treatment needs of female inmates and examine ways that programs addressing these unique requirements can help women successfully reenter society after incarceration.
One type of treatment program that has gained prominence for treating drug addicts in prison is the therapeutic community model. Therapeutic communities in the prison environment are based on the concept that the addict must be removed from the general population and placed in a separate area in which the negative influences of prison are decreased in order to create an environment that allows for positive behavior change. In a therapeutic community model drug treatment program, drug addiction is often viewed as a symptom, rather than the cause, of dysfunctional behavior in the addict's life.
The Delaware Criminal Justice Council received a grant from NIJ to evaluate the gender appropriateness of two therapeutic community drug rehabilitation programs: (1) The KEY program at Baylor Women's Correctional Institute and (2) CREST, a work release program at Sussex Correctional Institute.
Prior research has shown that the therapeutic community model, originally designed for men, can be successful for women if modified. For example, the success of women in therapeutic community programs is increased when the atmosphere is less confrontational and when female counselors are present. Additionally, women bring with them a host of personal issues-such as a history of sexual abuse and problems in maintaining relationships with their children-that must be addressed. These problems are distinct from those usually faced by male drug addicts.
During implementation of the KEY program, researchers observed the need for aftercare to maintain the positive changes in KEY graduates. To meet this need, Delaware obtained funding in 1990 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to establish the first work-release program (CREST) based on the therapeutic community model. Research since the implementation of KEY and CREST has found that addicts who attend both KEY and CREST have lower recidivism rates than those without KEY or CREST program experience.
The report submitted by the Delaware Criminal Justice Council shows that of the various demographic and social factors affecting a woman who enters the KEY program, four will have the most impact on whether she will succeed. A female inmate is at higher risk of failure if she has any one of these four factors:
The Council's report demonstrates that the first 5 weeks are critical for a new KEY participant. If she is to fail, she will likely fail during this treatment orientation period. However, if she remains in the program through the 49th week (the midpoint of the treatment cycle), she will likely remain in the program and be successfully discharged from KEY.
The Criminal Justice Council contracted Beth Bonniwell Haslett of the University of Delaware to analyze the curriculum used in KEY and CREST and to assess the two programs. Haslett concluded that the programs were gender appropriate, but made two main recommendations:
When asked, program clients considered the programs gender appropriate overall, but many expressed a wish that the programs have more female-only encounter groups. They also thought there should be more programming to help addicts make peace with their families and maintain contact with their children. Although Haslett recommends that the programs be made single-sex, participants thought that the coed nature of the CREST program was a benefit, providing an opportunity to develop healthy and positive attitudes and behaviors toward the opposite sex. This view was shared by program directors.
A difference of opinion emerged concerning the confrontational aspects of the programs, in which participants can challenge each other's behavior. Many women, citing histories of family violence, did not like the shouting and verbal sparring that often resulted from these parts of the programs. Some complained that there was more "tearing up" than "building up." Older women tended to be more uncomfortable with confrontation and felt "disrespected" when challenged by younger peers. Many thought more emphasis should be placed on bonding among participants and less on confrontation. (Program directors cited the potential for sexual activity and dependency as the reason that relationship building is limited and controlled in these programs.) The women generally viewed the programs' strict rules as providing structure and instilling the idea that the world outside had rules that had to be followed.
Most participants agreed that the programs offer an addict a way to "straighten up" and that, in the end, the addict has to want to change for the programs to work.
The Forever Free Program is a voluntary, intensive residential treatment program for women inmates with substance abuse problems at the California Institution for Women in Corona, California. The residential program is followed by voluntary community residential treatment during parole. Forever Free began as a 4-month program and has since returned to that duration; at the time of this evaluation, however, it was briefly extended into a 6-month program.
Forever Free stresses relapse prevention and approaches addiction as a disease. It also teaches offenders to identify symptoms and develop unique skills and strategies for dealing with withdrawal.
Some sessions are devoted to issues especially important to women's recovery, including self-esteem, anger management, assertiveness training, healthy relationships, physical and psychological abuse, posttraumatic stress disorder, codependency, parenting, sex, and health.
Women participating in the Forever Free Program were compared with women attending Life Plan for Recovery, an 8-week substance abuse education course. This group was chosen for comparison because participants had similar backgrounds and demographics and similar motivation for treatment (voluntary participation in substance abuse education). The women in both groups were about 35 years of age and averaged about 16 prior arrests and 8 prior incarcerations. Most had been incarcerated for a drug offense. In addition, they were poor, ethnically diverse, undereducated, and they worked in low paying jobs.
The study demonstrates the effectiveness of the Forever Free Program for women offenders both in terms of their involvement in the criminal justice system and in other aspects of their postrelease lives (e.g., employment, relationships with children, and services needed and received). Women in both the treatment and comparison groups were followed up 1 year after release.
Criminal justice measures. Forever Free Program participants reported being rearrested and/or convicted at a significantly lower rate than participants in the comparison group (40 percent versus 60 percent).
Drug use. In contrast to the comparison group, a significantly lower percentage of Forever Free participants reported any drug use since release from custody (51 percent versus 77 percent).
Employment. Two-thirds of Forever Free participants were employed at the time of the followup interview compared to less than half of the comparison group. Participating in residential treatment during parole apparently improved all subjects' chances of being employed.
Psychological functioning. At the 1-year followup, Forever Free participants had significantly better psychological functioning than members of the comparison group.
Treatment motivation and treatment attendance. Postrelease interviews revealed that drugs were a greater problem for the comparison group than for the Forever Free participants. Members of the comparison group also had a greater desire for additional help than the treatment group. However, Forever Free participants felt that they had greater control over their drug-use behaviors.
Relationships with children. In contrast with the comparison group, a larger number of Forever Free women had custody of all of their children postincarceration (48 percent versus 28 percent). Twice as many Forever Free women rated themselves as doing well in their parenting than did members of the comparison group.
Services needed during parole. Women in the comparison group reported greater needs for services than the Forever Free group. These services included transportation, medical treatment, life skills training, and vocational training. The Forever Free group appeared much better able to obtain such services for themselves.
Another significant finding of the Forever Free study is the importance of treatment after release from custody. For example, women who attended community residential treatment were much more likely to be employed at followup. In light of this evidence, criminal justice system policymakers may consider encouraging community residential aftercare for women participating in prison-based treatment programs for drug abuse.
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the Forever Free Program for women. And while most therapeutic community treatment programs last 12 months, the Forever Free Program lasts only 4 months (although it lasted 6 months at the time of this study). The fact that the program was able to demonstrate its effectiveness in a shorter time period than most programs may indicate that other programs could replicate Forever Free's success rate by emulating its curriculum-and save valuable tax dollars in the process.
Some incarcerated women receive a dual diagnosis of substance use disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD can be recognized in women with extensive histories of interpersonal violence. PTSD can compound the effects of substance abuse and increase the chance of criminal recidivism.
Seeking Safety is a cognitive-behavioral treatment developed in 1992 by Lisa Najavits at Harvard Medical School/McLean Hospital. It is designed for people dealing with both substance use disorder and PTSD or other trauma-related symptoms. Seeking Safety is a flexible treatment that can be used for men and women, in group or individual therapy settings, in outpatient or residential treatment facilities. Sessions focus on developing skills designed to combat both substance addiction and PTSD. For example, distraction techniques can be used to calm the triggers of both drug abuse and PTSD. The goal is to help clients attain a sense of self-control that will avert dangers in their behavior (e.g., self-inflicted injury), in their relationships (e.g., the risk of HIV infection), and in their thinking (e.g., addiction-related cognitive distortions).
The NIJ-funded study evaluated the initial impact of this approach in a group of women inmates in the Discovery Program, a substance abuse program at the Adult Correctional Institute in Rhode Island. There were two pilot studies. One pilot study involved six inmates who received Seeking Safety treatment. The other study involved participants who were randomly assigned either to a control group of 10 women who received treatment as usual or an experimental group of 12 women who received Seeking Safety treatment as an adjunct to treatment as usual.
Researchers conducted assessments pretreatment, posttreatment during incarceration, and postrelease. Preliminary findings from the group of six women are promising. In particular, these women showed a significant improvement in PTSD symptoms at posttreatment as well as at 6 and 12 weeks postrelease. Three of the six women no longer met the criteria for PTSD 3 months after treatment-a significant finding given that most individuals who receive treatment for PTSD take, on average, 36 months to recover from this disorder.
However, the random assignment study finds no differences between the test and control groups on any of the indices of interest (including PTSD symptoms, drug use, and recidivism). Significant differences between the Seeking Safety treatment group and the treatment-as-usual group were likely difficult to detect due to the small size of the control group and an appreciable attrition rate (30 percent) within the group.
The finding that 33 percent of the women who received Seeking Safety treatment returned to prison 3 months postrelease and that women in the treatment group were more likely than members of the control group to return to prison (50 percent versus 10 percent) may be explained by the fact that members of the treatment group had a greater severity of drug use than did members of the control group prior to entering prison, putting the treatment group at greater risk for recidivism. These findings also indicate that women who received Seeking Safety treatment may not have successfully transferred skills learned in the program once they left incarceration and reentered the community. Further investigation is needed to determine whether an extension of the Seeking Safety treatment to the postrelease period might improve on the treatment program's effectiveness in reducing recidivism.
Another study on the appropriateness of rehabilitation programs for female inmates examined discharge planning offered by the Rhode Island Department of Corrections (RIDOC). RIDOC offers female inmates programs addressing substance abuse, education and job training, life skills training, and emotional and mental health.
The study finds that the programs at RIDOC appear to be successfully matched to the needs of the steadily increasing population of female inmates. Programs are staffed by culturally diverse female role models who participate in both staff and mentoring programs. The programs offer drug treatment and multidimensional strategies for decision-making and skillbuilding, which are generally recognized as beneficial to women inmates. The programs are well received and well attended-most women inmates (more than 70 percent) participate in at least one type of program.
Overall, the results of the evaluation demonstrate that the RIDOC programs produce some positive changes in incarcerated women, such as increased confidence in life skills and reduced substance use. Women who received counseling in both areas were the most likely to believe they could get and keep a job and avoid subsequent substance abuse problems. However, none of the programs was able to reduce recidivism. Problems encountered by the women after release-such as an abusive partner-can overwhelm changes made prior to release. More than one-third of the women left prison with no job, no formal job training, no source of income, and less than a high school education, placing them at a further disadvantage. Moreover, many women who were recidivists were generally ill-equipped to deal with the routine stresses of daily life in the community and required strong social support upon release from prison. Supervised transition settings safe from violent partners, with opportunities to practice skills learned in prison, may be appropriate.
Though the various treatment programs discussed in this article differ in their details and approaches, all share the premise that the needs of women inmates differ in many respects-physically, emotionally, psychologically, and socially-from those of their male counterparts. The implementation of rehabilitation programs specifically designed with those differences in mind can effectively address the needs of female inmates and identify factors which may impede their ability to succeed post release.

Lamar Odom, the "Khloe & Lamar" star better known as a professional basketball player, has checked into rehab, according to a report out late Wednesday.
[Updated, 12:50 p.m. Sept. 5: Odom may not be in rehab, according to TMZ, which came out Thursday morning with an updated report citing sources close to the ballplayer. Odom may be merely "off the radar" relative to the Kardashian family, the website said.]
[Updated, 5:30 p.m. Sept. 5: According to People, citing two sources, Odom entered rehab Wednesday morning and left Thursday afternoon with an assistant.]
Two sources confirmed to People magazine on Wednesday that Odom, husband to Khloe Kardashian Odom, had checked himself into a treatment center for drug and alcohol addiction. "He realized he needs help," one source said.
Additionally, sources later told E! News the same.
It's less than a week after Odom was arrested on suspicion of DUI. He was stopped early Friday morning for going too slow on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley, driving in a "serpentine manner," police said, and going past three exits before stopping as the CHP tried to pull him over.
Odom, 33, was seen cabbing it around the L.A. area over the weekend, according to TMZ, which points out that any entry to rehab must have happened between the weekend and the People report.
The magazine did not say when Odom entered rehab, or where he is.
According to the website, the NBA free agent's wife didn't know her husband had taken the rehab route -- they reportedly haven't spoken since she gave him an ultimatum: rehab or we're done, TMZ said.
There has been no reaction on Kardashian Odom's Twitter page, though she tweeted Sunday, "As much as I wish I were made of steel ... I'm not. I'm pretty damn close to it though hehe."
[For the Record, 10:17 a.m. Sept. 5: An earlier version of this post listed Odom's age as 32. He is 33.]
[For the Record, 12:50 p.m. Sept. 5: The headline on this post has been changed from "Lamar Odom reportedly enters rehab — did Khloe know?"]

Finally, after many years of people asking for this, Linux can now properly support all known Samsung laptop devices. This means we can now handle backlight control, wifi button issues,and the weird "performance mode" keys as well as some of the other function keys.
If you have a Samsung laptop, I suggest looking at the driver in this post on the linux-kernel mailing list, and letting me know if you have any problems with it or not. If your laptop is not listed in the DMI table, please feel free to send me a patch to add it so we can properly support it.
Many thanks to Samsung oh so long ago for providing some of the needed information to get this to work, and to Ingmar Steen for putting all of the pieces together properly to handle the devices that were not being handled by the old in-kernel driver.

Want the look? This is a perfect look for when you don't have a lot of time in the morning but still want to look somewhat put together for school, work, or going out with friends. This look is clean and classy looking, and perfect for those days when you want to skip the shower and your hair looks pretty dull. If you would like to see more posts on how to hair styles, let me know in the comments below! 🙂 If you want to see how I achieved this look then keep on scrolling. Please remember to like this post and follow me for some more lovin'. Thanks for reading and love always Pearlsnheels ❤
What you will need to complete this hair style:
#1) Some bobby pins, I used around 10 of them
#2) Dry Shampoo
#3) An Elastic band
#3) A comb
#5) Some Hair
For this look you will need a bun sponge, I picked mine up from Clairs for about $5. I did not show the sponge in the picture above, because it was already in my hair :p So here is an image of one just so you know what I am talking about!
If you do not have one or don't want to spend the cash, you can get a similar look with a sock bun, made at home. There are millions of videos on this on Youtube you can check out for how to make/use one.
- To achieve this look, first comb through your hair. Release all the tangles and twists and smooth those strands out! I like to use day old unwashed hair for this look, because it seems to stay up on my head better, without any loose fly aways!
- Take your dry shampoo and spray some at the roots of your crown and sides of your head around your ears. Let the dry shampoo sit for a minutes, then work it into your hair.
- After the dry shampoo is applied to your hair, come through and start teasing! You can use a regular comb if you don't own a teasing brush, and just give yourself a little bit of volume on the top of your head. This is just an extra quick step to give your up do a fuller effect.
- Now, pull your hair up on top of your head and secure it with an elastic band, preferably one that matches your hair color.
- Slide the hair doughnut or sponge onto the pony tail and down to the base of your head. It is better to use a sponge that matches your hair color incase any strands get loose and you can see the sponge.
- Spread the hair evenly over the top of the bun making sure it is completely covering the top of the doughnut.
- There are two ways of finishing this look.
- You can use a hair elastic and just wrap that around the hair hat is over the bun. This is a cleaner tighter looking bun, and is faster! You can then take the excess pieces and wrap them around the base of the bun and secure with a hair color matching bobby pin.
- OR the way I created my bun; After the hair was layed over the top of the bun evenly I took my hair and took the first front small section and pushed it up a little bit to give it volume and bobby pined it to the base of the bun. This way the hair is not tightly wrapped around the bun, but just hovering over it so the bun looks fuller. Continue doign this with each chunk of hair; grabbing, pushing up, and pinning it until you have done this with all the hair. Then takign all the strands extra and twirl them tight around your finger then wrap it around the base of the bun and bobby pin it in the back, that is how I acheived the spiral effect shown int he picture below.
8. To complete your look, you can add some hair spray for lasting hold if you would like, or take a small comb and smooth back the front of the hair do to make every thing look clean and elegant.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are facing a major conundrum with Kentucky forward/center Nerlens Noel.
Noel, ranked first on some teams' draft boards, is coming off a torn left ACL.
Recently, it was disclosed that he had a fractured growth plate in his left knee in high school. That's potentially a major discovery.
If he's red-flagged by the Cavs, they could pass on the 6-foot-11 3/4, 206-pounder.
Their doctors have to be 100 percent sure about his knee. As it is, he's expected back on the court around Christmas. That scares off some observers.
Cavs majority owner Dan Gilbert has said he wants the team back in the playoffs in 2014. So, they're going to draft a player that will miss at least a third of the season, needs to pack on 25 pounds and has little or no offensive game?
And you want to be a general manager?
"He'll definitely not be ready for summer league or the preseason," NBA director of scouting Ryan Blake said. "He needs to put on weight, get in shape and have some kind of impact this season. That's going to be tough to do."
Noel fractured the growth plate in his left knee during his sophomore year at Everett (Mass.) High School, which caused him to miss all but five games that season.
It's reason for concern about his future.
He said his current rehabilitation is going fine.
"It's coming along very well," Noel said. "I'm still ahead of schedule. I moved down to Alabama to rehab at Dr. (James) Andrews' facility."
He had surgery in March. He hasn't starting running yet, but has been rehabilitating the knee.
"Ever since the surgery, everything is going great," Noel said. "It's been good from Week 1. I'm 100 percent confident, not just getting back to where I was, but (to be) stronger. Going through this time not playing basketball, I'm working on things I need to polish. It will improve me in the long run.
"With modern medicine, I definitely feel I'll come back stronger. I'll play out those risks and prove to people I'm expected to be."
He's working on his shooting, along with his strength and durability.
"I'm taking this step-by-step, listening to my physical therapist and Dr. Andrews," Noel said.
Noel played 24 games for the Wildcats and averaged 10.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and an NCAA-high 4.4 blocks. He shot 59 percent from the field, mostly dunks and tip-ins. His offensive game is lacking.
"I think I'm at a good point," he said. "Obviously, I can't do too much right now, but when I come back I'll be able to knock down that 15-footer and take my game to another level.
"I've been polishing every little part of my game. As time goes on, I'll do more low-block work. Right now it's more form shooting."
Noel, 19, said he was depressed after he tore the ligament in a game against Florida on Feb. 12.
"The day I heard what the injury was -- an ACL -- was only day I felt sorry for myself," he said. "Every day since then I've devoted to my rehab and accepted the challenge.
"It's an injury you have to be mindful of. You have to be careful with it. With Derrick Rose, he had to be careful with it. This is a sport of slashing and explosiveness. You have to be mentally ready for that."
His handlers won't let him return too soon.
"As much as you want to be back, you also want to be playing as long as you can in the NBA," he said. "You have to build back up as far as you can. Mental is a big part of it. I've already seen that."
Whichever team drafts him, that team needs to be patient. Once he returns to the court, it will need to develop him.
If it's the Cavs, he'd be paired with power forward Tristan Thompson. That would be a strong and potentially devastating defensive front line.
Noel could be the Cavs' defensive anchor. He's not going to average 4.4 blocks in the NBA, but he is a rim protector. He'll alter and challenge shots in the paint. He should develop into a good pick-and-roll defender.
Noel compares himself to Celtics All-Star Kevin Garnett. He's also drawn some comparisons to Marcus Camby, Theo Ratliff and even Keon Clark -- rail-thin, shot-blocking specialists. If he's Camby, teams won't hesitate to take him.
Noel weighed just 206 at the Chicago draft combine, which scared many talent evaluators. He played at Kentucky around 225 and will eventually put on even more weight. He's probably never going to get to the 250 range.
New Orleans drafted Kentucky forward/center Anthony Davis with the No. 1 pick in 2012. He was a first-team All-Rookie selection, but he wasn't a game-changer.
Noel is not as physically ready as Davis, has fewer skills and no offensive game. Now, one can see why he scares off many teams.
Noel is ranked as high as he is strictly on potential. He is long, has good shot-blocking instincts and is an explosive, fluid athlete. Teams that bypass him could live to regret it.
Noel said his rehab is a "seven- or eight-month process."
"Of course, he's going to say that," Blake said.
Blake said the Cavs will need to combine the NBA's medical report with their own testing and make a decision.
"I'm thinking from a GM standpoint, Chris Grant has to put all those things into the pie," he said. "He'll have to see what's the best bet for him. If he's satisfied, he's getting someone he really likes, let the cards fall where they may. It is a risk."
Many observers think Kansas shooting guard Ben McLemore, Maryland center Alex Len or Georgetown small forward Otto Porter are safer picks.
NBA draft insider analyst Kristofer Habbas doesn't have Noel ranked No. 1. He's sticking with Porter, for now.
"I could talk myself into taking Noel," he said. "I do think he'll be a great defensive player. He has better hands than Anthony Davis. He moves better. He's a better overall shot-blocker. Davis has better ball skills. Noel is raw offensively."
Habbas said Noel played at 218 pounds at the Nike Hoop Summit.
"I saw him with his shirt off and he looked like a male super model," he said.

Launched by Dr. Eric Holland, the STTR sets the stage for collaborations where scientists share insights into how to improve treatment for many tumors, leading to discoveries that can be applied to cancer. It's the best shot at making headway against the disease.
Starting with brain, Holland is building a database based on thousands of tumor samples from patients. The database will contain complete genetics profiles for each tumor, plus information on how each patient was treated and responded. Eventually the database will be expanded to breast, colon, head and neck, lung, ovarian, pancreas and prostate. The goal is to profile tumors for every patient which can be compared to those in the database and inform the decision on the most effective therapy.
"This is personalized medicine - making decisions that are tailored to the tumor," Holland said.

We've hardly seen hide nor (pink) hair from Katy Perry since Russell Brand, her husband of 14 months, filed for divorce on Dec. 30. However, the 'The One That Got Away Singer' has confirmed her first major public appearance since the split. She will appear at the People's Choice Awards, which will be held in Los Angeles on Jan. 11, according to PEOPLE.
Perry has collected three PCAs over the course of two years, so she will certainly be among friends and surrounded by those who love her when she makes this public showing.
Perry also has gigs slated for Jakarta and Manila later in January. So it's clear that the singer is returning to work, which is probably a good thing. It'll help keep her mind off her breakup with Brand and stave off some of the sadness she will likely feel.
But what about that girls trip that Katy and her bestie Rihanna were reportedly planning to boost her spirits alittle?
PopCrush is beyond psyched to see what Perry wears and what color her hair will be. Living well and looking good is certainly the best "revenge," is it not?

After deadly car crash at entrance, classes to resume at MDC in Liberty City
Classes at Miami Dade College's Liberty City campus are expected to resume a regular schedule Wednesday, a day after a deadly car crash killed one and injured three at the entrance.
The silver four-door Lincoln sedan was speeding north on Northwest Seventh Avenue, clipped a light post and crashed against a building. The car, which was reported stolen Aug. 18, exploded immediately after smashing into the wall, according to the Miami Police Department.
The driver of the vehicle ran away after the crash, leaving four people inside the burning car. One of the passengers was dead when officers arrived, authorities said.
Classes at Carrie P. Meek Entrepreneurial Education Center, 6300 NW Seventh Ave., were canceled for most of the Tuesday, but resumed at 5 p.m.
Witnesses said the speeding Lincoln spun out of control and slammed into the campus entrance before bursting in flames, barely missing people at a nearby bus stop. Pieces of the car scattered across the sidewalk and street. One witness ran to the car to see whether he could help.
"I guess he tried to miss some of the guys at the bus stop," Rodney Payne told Miami Herald news partner CBS4.
"He veered and tried to turn away from them, but at the rate of speed he was going, it caused the car to spin. He spun out of control. By the time he got any kind of control over it, it was too late because he was headed straight into the college," Payne said. "Boom, he hits the college. The car crumpled and immediately caught on fire."
The identity of the victims were not released as of Tuesday evening.
Three passengers were taken to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital. One of the injured was in critical condition, according to Miami police spokeswoman Kenia Reyes.
Police have detained the driver, who took off running and later checked into Jackson. The driver's name or charges were not immediately known.

Big Cats Everywhere:
Fast Cats, Semi-Saber Cats, Super-Fast Cats. Not to Mention the Super-Hyenas!
In Part One we learned the frightening facts: Lucy was surrounded by formidable felines. She was too slow to run away and she didn't have weapons to repel 150 pound leopards or 500 pound homothere saber-tooths.
Actually – we left some facts out. The predator situation was even worse then what we discussed in the last article. Lucy's world had even more kinds of meat-eaters to fear:
These speedsters have greyhound-like limbs, very long and tipped with nails, not claws. Cheetahs sacrifice climbing ability for acceleration and velocity on the ground. Living cheetahs are leopard size – 120 lbs average. But in Lucy's time cheetahs were as big as modern lions.
Semi-Saber Tooths – Dinofelis
These felids had the slinky bodies of leopards with an enlarged upper fang. Their saber teeth weren't as long or as sharp as a Sword Tooth cat but were far larger than in any modern cat.
Sword-Tooth Saber Cats – Smilodonts
These are the chunkiest, most heavily muscled saber-tooths. In Lucy's time, smilodonts grew to jaguar size, were heavier than a leopard, but had even more massive forearms and paws. Climbing would be excellent but speed on the ground was slower than a lion's. The upper fangs were much longer than those in a Dagger-Tooth homothere.
Lucy would have had to deal with Hyenas too……
The feline situation looked bad enough. The hyenas made it much, much worse.
Lucy's time saw the maximum diversity among the African Hyena clan. Today, the most advanced pack hunter is none other than the Spotted Hyena, Crocuta crocuta. This is a matriarchal hunter. The biggest males don't rule. Mom does. The alpha female is bigger, smarter and scarier than the males and she makes most of the decisions. Her sisters are next in charge. The Spotted Hyena has a close-knit social structure, and the dominant females are needed to keep order. It works to the kids' advantage. If Mom-Hyenas dies, her sisters will help raise the orphans. Hyena clans fan out and go after zebra and antelope, even water-buffalo and young rhinos. The Hyenas run and run and run. They've got great stamina.
Super-Crusher Hyena
Lucy had to watch out for Pachycrocuta, what I like to callthe Super-Crusher-Hyena. This monster was a close kin of today's Spotted Hyena but weighed almost as much as a lion – 300 pounds. And the Super-Crusher had jaws with even greater bone-smashing power than in the Spotted Hyena.
A clan of Super-Crusher-Hyenas would have instilled fear even in the biggest Saber-Tooth Cat.
In Lucy's time there was a Hyena menace we don't have today. It was Chasmaporthetes, the Wolf-Hyena. A Wolf-Hyena, seen from a hundred yards away, would look like big-headed Timber Wolf – long-legged, fast, and graceful. Up close, you'd see the Hyena family design. The paws were more compact than a wolf's and the jaws had meat-cutting teeth were longer and sharper. And there weren't any big molars in the rear of the mouth. Wolves and coyotes use those rear molars to crunch berries and fruit and other vegetable food. The Wolf-Hyena was more of a pure carnivore.
The Wolf-Hyenas must have been the nightmare of mid-sized hoofed stock, and primates of all sizes, including our Lucy.
Can't Bite Back. What defenses Did Lucy Have?
|photo credit: rdicker
Chimps and baboons can bite back. They have big canine teeth, especially large in the males. A 90 pound baboon or ape is a nasty close-in fighter. Leopards and hyenas can get terrible wounds from ape and monkey teeth.
But not Lucy. When australopithecines evolved from apes, the canine teeth got small. Lucy had much poorer dental weapons than what her ape ancestors had.
Final Conclusion:
Let's roll-play again…..,you're Lucy or her mate. You weigh 60 to 90 pounds. What do you do when a pack of Wolf Hyenas come over the hill? You can't out-run them. You might be able to fight off just one Wolf-Hyena, but not a pack of a dozen.
Let's say by some miracle you get away from the Wolf Hyena clan – then a Giant Cheetah comes at you at 55 mph.
Or you're resting and a Semi-Saber Tooth Cat attacks. Or a smilodont?
You haven't a chance….
Old Theories Are Missing Something.
BUT….Lucy and her family did get away, again and again and again. They lived long enough to mate and raise kids and evolve.
How did they do it?
What do you think?

Eye in the sky
NASA images show before-and-after scenes of Earth
As many a medieval castle-builder knew, the view from above is a privileged one.
Now, with its free Images of Change iPad app and online gallery, NASA makes the aerial perspective available to all, with results both stunning and disturbing.
For several decades, the agency's Earth-observing satellites have been capturing dramatic views of land-changing events such as fires, tornadoes and mudslides. To see individual glaciers receding, however, the app's ground-based photos showing green meadows replacing icebergs make the point best.
Urban change proves equally profound: An 1830s map alongside a satellite view of modern Boston shows that some of the country's most expensive real estate occupies land that, until fairly recently, was underwater.

His (and Our) Dark Places
TELLURIDE — Film festivals have shared rituals. One is the pre-screening introduction. The bests celebrate without spoiling, pose questions without forcing answers. Variety critic Scott Foundas did a tersely elegant job introducing Michael Haneke's "The White Ribbon."
Shot in sumptuous black-and-white (because, said the director, that this is how so many of us see the historical past; it's set in 1913 rural Germany). But it was the Austrian director himself that charmed those gathered at the Palm Theater (a school converted to a 600-plus seat theater for the occasion, the largest at the fest).
Taking the mic, the salt-and-pepper haired Austrian director, last here with a disquieting drama about surveillance and memory. I don't think directors should say anything before their film. So, I'll just say what I said before 'Cache,' "Have a disturbing screening." We did.

U.S. Rep. Bob Filner told a crowd at the Central Public Library on Sunday afternoon that he's running for San Diego mayor in 2012.
Jason Packman, a San Diego State University graduate student, broke the news on Twitter live from a screening of a documentary about the 1961 civil-rights activists known as the "Freedom Riders." Filner, a Democrat, was one of the activists arrested during the protests and he made the announcement during the post-screening Q&A session.
Packman tells CityBeat that Filner was visibly moved by the film. After answering a question about contemporary activism, Filner said something along the lines of, "Should I tell you? Yes, I'm running for mayor."
Filner is the first Democrat to publicly announce for the 2012 mayor's race (click here for the running list).
We have, of course, left a message with his office.
UPDATE: A lot of different immediate reactions to the news. Some pundits teased about how it wasn't the most elegant of campaign roll-outs. Indeed, Packman told us that it seemed like an impromptu disclosure more than anything, which seems in keeping with Filner's off-the-cuff style.
We're still waiting for a response from Filner's office, but Packman, who is working on a Master's in linguistics, was very clear about what he heard Filner say. (Packman already holds a Master's in Pacific International Affairs from UC San Diego's School of International Relations and Pacific Studies, in case you were wondering.) Our story was not based solely of Packman's tweet: Rather we made the guy repeat what he heard over and over again over the phone within minutes of his Tweet. Here's Packman's own blog post about the event.
Shortly after the story went live, writer Walter Meyer began posting to Facebook that the story was not true, because he too was at the event. CityBeat has since confirmed that Meyer attended Filner's Thursday appearance, not the Sunday event where Filner made the remark.
But if there's any remaining doubt of Filner's intentions, Labor Council CEO Lorena Gonzalez said she was surprised that his announcement would be news.
"He has told many of us he was running. I assumed everyone knew it was real," she said on Twitter.
Note: I've had to update the update a few times as more information has come in. As of 9:00 a.m., Monday March 28, this is to our knowledge accurate.
