  • The Forgotten Fifth: Rural Youth and Substance Abuse
    THE FORGOTTEN FIFTH: RURAL YOUTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE Lisa R. Pruitt* This Article seeks to raise the visibility of the roughly twenty percent of the U.S. population who live in rural places—an often forgotten fifth—in rela- tion to the particular challenges presented by adolescent substance abuse. De- spite popular notions that substance abuse is essentially an urban phenomenon, recent data demonstrate that it is also a significant problem in rural America. Rural youth now abuse most substances, including alcohol and tobacco, at higher rates and at younger ages than their urban peers. The Article assesses the social, economic and spatial milieu in which rural adolescent substance abuse has burgeoned. Features of some rural communi- ties, such as a tolerance for youth and lenient and informal law enforcement responses, appear to benefit youth. Indeed, these are consistent with juvenile justice trends, such as diversion programs. Yet other characteristics of rural communities, such as limited social service and healthcare infrastructures, un- dermine the efficacy of such programs. Arguing that national drug policies often reflect urban agendas and leave rural communities disserved, this Article calls for policies that are more sensi- tive to rural contexts. It advocates nuanced empirical research that will provide a more comprehensive understanding of rural risk factors and, in turn, inform rural prevention, treatment, and diversion programs. Finally, it argues that fed- eral, state, and local responses to adolescent substance abuse must tackle defi- ciencies in rural infrastructure, while keeping in mind factors that differentiate rural places from what has become the implicit urban norm in law- and policy- * Professor of Law, University of California, Davis.

  • 1 Amazing Grace
    1Amazing Grace BY JOHN NEWTON 1. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saves a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found; Was bound, but now I’m free. 2. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fear relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. 3. Through many dangers, toils and snares We have already come; 'Twas grace that brought us safe thus far, And grace will lead us on. 4. When we've been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we’d first begun. 5. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saves a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found; Was bound, but now I'm free. 2Just aCloser Walk With Thee TRADITIONAL 1. Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it, Jesus, is my plea; Daily walking close with Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. 2. Through the days of toil and snares, If I falter, Lord, who cares? Who with me my burden shares? None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee. 3. When my feeble life is o'er Time for me will be no more; Guide me gently, safely on To thy shore, dear Lord, to thy shore. 4. I am weak, but Thou art strong. Jesus, keep me from all wrong. I'll be satisfied as long As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

  • Health Rights in the Balance: the Case Against Perinatal Shackling of Women Behind Bars Brett Dignam and Eli Y. Adashi
    HHR Health and Human Rights Journal Health Rights in the Balance: The Case Against Perinatal Shackling of Women Behind Bars Brett Dignam and Eli Y. Adashi Abstract Rationalized for decades on security grounds, perinatal shackling entails the application of handcuffs, leg irons, and/or waist shackles to the incarcerated woman prior to, during, and after labor and delivery. During labor and delivery proper, perinatal shackling may entail chaining women to the hospital bed by the ankle, wrist, or both. Medically untenable, legally challenged, and ever controversial, perinatal shackling remains the standard of practice in most US states despite sustained two-decades-long efforts by health rights legal advocates, human rights organizations, and medical professionals. Herein we review the current statu- tory, regulatory, legal, and medical framework undergirding the use of restraints on pregnant inmates and explore potential avenues of redress and relief to this challenge. We also rec- ognize the courage of the women whose stories are being told. If history is any guide, the collective thrust of domestic and international law, attendant litigation, dedicated advocacy, and strength of argument bode well for continued progress toward restraint-free pregnancies in correctional settings.

    Colorized covers are for web display only. Most covers are printed in black and white. © Dramatic Publishing Company, Woodstock, Illinois. Colorized covers are for web display only. Most covers are printed in black and white. Drama. By Kent R. Brown. Cast: 1m., 1w. Early one September morning, in an isolated farmhouse in the middle of rural Nebraska, Rebecca Pender peeks out her bedroom window and sees a vision of the end of the world. The next day, she and her husband, Lucas, stand transfixed as they witness the collapse of the World Trade Center. Insidiously, the trauma of 9/11 unlocks within Rebecca’s psyche a Pandora’s box of repressed fears. She loses weight, obsessively sanitizes the house, claims the water is tainted, even prowls gun shops and army surplus stores. She fails to keep appointments with her psychologist, preferring to hide out in movie theaters or drive isolated back roads. Though Lucas does not fully embrace Rebecca’s deepening paranoia, he can’t envision life without her. He sells his business, helps Rebecca build an underground shelter and stockpiles food supplies and weapons. They sever all relationships with family, clergy and friends. But while Rebecca thrives on the energy of their collaboration, Lucas begins to decline—a voracious cancer has gripped his life. At last, Lucas takes his place in their front yard, flashlight in one hand, shotgun in the other, scanning the skies in search of the Armageddon that must surely be coming. In the Middle of Nowhere examines how fear poisons the soul like a virus, ravaging all who come in contact with it.

  • Asian Pacific American Activism and the Racialization of Sophistication
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: DISSEMBLING DIVERSITIES: ON “MIDDLED” ASIAN PACIFIC AMERICAN ACTIVISM AND THE RACIALIZATION OF SOPHISTICATION Douglas S. Ishii, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed By: Professor Christina B. Hanhardt Department of American Studies Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies Program Professor Janelle Wong Department of American Studies Asian American Studies Program Dissembling Diversities: On Asian Pacific American Arts Activism and the Racialization of Sophistication interrogates how contemporary Asian Pacific American (APA) arts activism and representation has been shaped by the bureaucratic administration of “diversity” after 9/11/2001. Through close readings of texts, it specifically examines Asian American representation within scripted network television programming, graphic novels and comic strips, and indie rock as iterations of panethnic activism in media advocacy, graphical storytelling, and the independent media arts. It understands these cultural forms and diversity itself through the framework of middlebrow culture, which is constituted of texts disseminated through popular culture that normalize the accumulation of cultural capital – or non-financial embodiments of class status such as education and literacy – as cultural citizenship. Dissembling Diversities makes evident how the elevation of these texts through discourses of “Art” and “diversity” relies on the association of cultural capital with whiteness, particularly through the racial exclusivity of their representations and through

My mother’s got my boy, but she doesn’t want me.” (14-year-old mother in a detention center, 2003) “My baby is two now. He’s got some brain damage. I was in here when I had him and he got put in a foster home. He choked on some food and lost his air. I’ve only seen him twice since I had him.” (16-year-old girl in detention, 1997) “Can’t you help her? She’s 16, her baby’s two.

    NO PLACE TO HIDE: EDWARD SNOWDEN, THE NSA, AND THE U.S. SURVEILLANCE STATE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Glenn Greenwald | 304 pages | 28 Apr 2015 | Picador USA | 9781250062581 | English | United States No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State PDF Book Laura said it was critical that I speak to him directly, to assure him and placate his growing concerns. As the stories rolled out last year, there was almost too much to absorb My fear was quickly validated. You have many technically-proficient followers who are willing to offer immediate assistance. She handed over the thumb drive and suggested that I start looking at her set of documents. He was the only present target for our irritation, so we treated him like extra baggage with which we had been saddled. When it's not about Greenwald and his sense of his own heroic reporting, the content consists of copies of the leaked documents pages of powerpoint slides and quotes by other reporters. The next time Poitras flew out of the United States after the article ran, there was no interrogation and she did not have her materials seized. They were riveting. Did Trump collude with the Russians, I personally don't believe he has the depth or knowledge to successfully do that. Laura had been working for years on the subject of NSA surveillance, herself repeatedly subjected to its abuses. What makes leak cases difficult is that some leaking—some interaction between reporters and sources who have access to classified information—is normal, even indispensable, in a society with a free press.
