Charter schools and private schools create new aged segregation

# data[].attributes.body
By taking students from a zoned school and giving them the option of going to a “better” one, progressively decreases this zoned public school to the point of no return, although dramatic to say, this is what occurs in most cases. As this happens the less funding results in less assets available to the students to help the succeed. Technology is a big part of this and without the proper funding to keep them up to date and in the hands of the students, it results in yet another way the students will continue to fall behind.
That being said, today's segregation is not only towards minorities, poor white people fall not this as well.

Before the 21st century, suicide was considered taboo. You were expected not to talk about it. Now, it has become a near- daily occurrence. Mostly in young adults, but not limited to, the death rates have increased tremendously.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Nearly half a million lives (480,622) were lost to suicide from 2010 to 2020. During the same period, the suicide death rate increased by 12% and as of 2009, the number of suicides outnumbered those caused by motor vehicle accidents. On July 16, 2022, the federally mandated crisis number, 988, will be available to all landline and cell phone users, providing a single three-digit number to access a network of over 200 local and state funded crisis centers. 988 callers who are suicidal or experiencing a mental health crisis will be routed to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and connected to a crisis counselor where they may receive crisis counseling, resources and referrals, and in some cases and where available, mobile crisis units may be dispatched. While 988 is intended to help fill gaps in the behavioral health crisis continuum, there is concern about the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline's readiness to handle the increased volume, which is expected to triple from 4 up to 12 million calls in the first year alone. In this issue brief, we use 2010 to 2020 CDC WONDER data to examine trends in suicide rates over time and by race and ethnicity, sex, age, and state, ahead of the implementation of 988.

Suicide deaths increased between 2010 and 2018 and then slowed in 2019 and 2020, although some research suggests suicide deaths are undercounted. The overall number of suicide deaths peaked in 2018 and then decreased slightly in 2019 and 2020, although some research suggests that some suicides may be misclassified as drug overdose deaths since it can be difficult to determine whether drug overdoses are intentional. Deaths from drug overdoses increased by 31% between 2019 and 2020, but the suicide death rate was similar.

Suicide deaths by firearms accounted for more than half of all suicides in 2020. Between 2010 and 2019, there were similar numbers of suicides by firearms as by other means. However, in 2020, there were more suicide deaths by firearm compared to suicide deaths by other means, as suicides by other means decreased by 8% and the number of suicides by firearms remained roughly stable (Figure 1). Suicide deaths accounted for more than half (54%) of all deaths involving a firearm in 2020.

Suicide death rates in 2020 were highest among American Indian and Alaska Native people, males, and people who live in rural areas. As of 2020, American Indian and Alaska Native people had the highest suicide death rate at 23.9 per 100,000 people, nearly one and a half times higher than the rate for White people (16.8 per 100,000 people). Suicide death rates for Black, Hispanic, and Asian and Pacific Islander people were all less than half the rate for White people. Females are more likely to report mental illness and are more likely to attempt suicide, but male suicide death rates are four times higher (22.0 per 100,000 versus 5.5 per 100,000). Non-metropolitan areas have a higher suicide rate (19.1 per 100,000) than metro areas (12.6 per 100,000). There are similar suicide rates across adult age groups in 2020 (Figure 2). However, because younger people are less likely to die of other causes, suicides are the second leading cause of death in adults under the age of 45, accounting for 16% of deaths in people 18-25 and 9% of deaths in people 26-44.

Suicide deaths are increasing fastest among people of color, younger individuals, and people who live in rural areas. Between 2010 and 2020, suicide death rates increased substantially among people of color, with the highest increase among Black people (43% increase, from 5.4 to 7.7 per 100,000), followed by American Indian or Alaska Native (41% increase, from 16.9 to 23.9 per 100,000), and Hispanic (27% increase, 5.9 to 7.5 per 100,000) people (Figure 2). Other studies show a particularly large increase in suicide deaths among Black youth and adolescents. Underdiagnosis of mental health conditions, structural barriers to care, stereotypes and discrimination associated with poor mental health, racism and discrimination, and disparities in the use of mental health services may all contribute to rising suicide rates among people of color. In rural areas, suicide death rates increased significantly, possibly due to acute shortages of mental health workers in these areas. The suicide death rate also increased in adolescents (62% increase, from 3.9 to 6.3 per 100,000) and young adults (33% increase, from 12.8 to 17.0 per 100,000) between 2010 and 2020 (figure 2).

Suicide death rates varied substantially by state in 2020, as did the rate of change from 2010 to 2020. Suicide death rates by state range from a low of 5.5 per 100,000 population in Washington, D.C. to a high of 30.5 in Wyoming, with a median death rate of 15.2 per 100,000 in 2020 (Figure 3). The suicide rate may vary by state due to factors such as demographics, firearm availability (involved in over half of suicides), mental health status, and access to mental health services. Between 2010 and 2020, suicide death rates increased by 25% or more in 9 states, with the largest increases in Wyoming (36% increase, from 22.4 to 30.5 per 100,000), West Virginia (38% increase, from 14.1 to 19.4 per 100,000), Nebraska (43% increase, from 10.4 to 14.9 per 100,000), and Iowa (49% increase, from 12.1 to 18.0 per 100,000).

988 is expected to fill gaps in mental health crisis care and decrease adverse events and suicides, but uncertainty remains. The federal government mandates 988, but states are responsible for most of the funding and implementation. Almost one month before 988 launches, many crisis counselor hotline positions remain unfilled, a long-term funding strategy is unclear, and the community crisis infrastructure varies greatly across states and localities. While 988 is expected to improve the delivery of mental health crisis care, it is unknown how well it will address the needs of those who are most vulnerable, including some people of color, males, younger individuals, and individuals living in rural areas.

A Look at Suicide Rates Ahead of 988 Launch-A National Three-Digit Suicide Prevention Hotline

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
As the federal government prepares to launch the national three-digit number "988" for the mental health crisis hotline in July 2022, this analysis shows that suicide death rates increased by 12 percent in the decade from 2010 to 2020 -- with death rates rising the fastest among people of color, younger individuals, and people who live in rural areas.

DACA and how it protects dreamers is something that is really important to me, it affects millions of people, children and students in this country, it is one of the most progressive immigration policies that has been enacted in this generation and possibly ever. But this policy is in constant danger of being repealed or changed due to conflicting political views. If this policy were to get repealed so much would change and not for the better, this is a topic that means a lot to me, and I want to know more about it from a teacher as well as political standpoint.

This is a topic that I am currently doing a research project on. Why do we not get paid? This is BS (broken system).

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Many of us have fond memories of student teachers from our time in K-12 education. These students and aspiring educators joined our classrooms - and for several months, did the work of a full-time teacher, from planning lessons to managing the class on a day to day basis.

But what many students who have spent time learning from student teachers may not know is that those student teachers were not paid for their work.

In a time when people across the country are calling for an end to exploitative unpaid internships and we're seeing increased efforts to provide paid apprenticeships in various trades, student teachers have been largely left out of the conversation. It's time for that to change. People deserve to be paid fairly for their labor, and student teachers are no exception.

Paying student teachers fairly would be a good thing in and of itself, but it would also have far-reaching positive effects on public education as a whole. Michigan is currently facing a dire teacher shortage that has only been worsened by the pandemic, and we should be doing everything we can to ensure teaching is a profession people want to enter.

Of course, paying student teachers is just one of many changes needed to fix such a complex problem, but it certainly would help. By recognizing student teaching as a job instead of forcing would-be teachers to work for free, we could start these young professionals off on the right foot and show that their work is valued - and, most importantly, ensure they can support themselves while they finish up school and prepare to enter the workforce.

Paying student teachers would also help us take a crucial step toward a more diverse pool of teachers in Michigan's public schools. According to state education data , more than 30% of Michigan's students are students of color, but teachers of color account for less than 10% of teachers. We must work to close that gap, and that means removing some of the barriers that keep people from deciding to become teachers.

It's no secret that college is expensive, and that educators are frequently underpaid and overworked. Young people know this, and these unfortunate facts often lead talented students who could become great teachers toward other career paths instead. Adding what amounts to a full-time unpaid internship to their college workload effectively shuts out students from low-income families who can't afford to pay their bills without an income.

In Michigan and across the country, skilled trades and their unions are taking steps to provide education and training to strengthen the workforce. Take, for example, the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights, who last year opened a new training center to house skilled apprenticeships - and, of course, these apprentices are paid for their work while they develop their skills. Programs like this are a no-brainer - they're good for workers, good for professions, and good for the economy.

It's past time for our public education system to follow that lead. Student teachers already do great work in classrooms across the state. They deserve to be compensated fairly - both because it will alleviate undue stress and curb the need for an additional job to pay the bills, and because it's simply the right thing to do.

By changing this outdated practice, we can begin to address the teacher shortage and set new teachers and their students up for success.

Something I want to talk about is the stigma around mental health. While we have gained a much better understanding of how to handle our mental health, there are still many stigmas around mental health. These stigmas can make it hard for those going through tough mental health battles to overcome their issues, because people undermine their feelings and make them feel as though their emotions aren’t valid. Instead of judging and siding with these stigmas, people need to become educated on how mental health really works and makes people feel, so that we can all build each other up and help people feel like they are not alone. I think this can really help a lot of people overcome their battles.

Foods allowed in America that are banned in other countries - Brooke Haberman

# data[].attributes.body
Many American foods have ingredients that have been found to be linked to health conditions and diseases. These foods are normal in America, but other countries have banned them. I think this is an interesting topic because research has shown that these foods can be harmful, however, they are welcomed in America and we do not tend to question them.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
You are what you eat, they say. If that's the case, a lot of folks in the United States are less than healthy based solely on the foods they eat.

Sadly, many American foods contain ingredients that have been linked with diseases and health conditions. While these foods are still the norm in the U.S., many countries have decided to take a pass and ban them.

Here are 20 favorite American foods that are banned in other countries.

Banned in: France, Austria, Norway and Finland

Why it's banned: A glance at Kellogg's Froot Loops' ingredients might explain why the colorful cereals of our childhood are banned in many European countries.

The American breakfast staple is packed with food dyes such as yellow 5 and red 40, which are considered harmful. Many scientific studies link these artificial colors with the inhibition of cell development.

The sugary cereal also contains soybean, cottonseed oil, and hydrogenated coconut - all considered dangerous and banned in the above mentioned countries.

Banned in: T he European Union and Japan

Why it's banned: We all know Mountain Dew is not the healthiest of drinks. But, if you still "do the Dew," you might want to know the lemon-lime drink contains Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO).

This food additive banned in Japan and the European Union contains bromine, the element found in flame retardants.

According to CDC, the consumption of bromine can lead to a number of health problems such as headaches, memory loss, and impaired balance and coordination. It's also bad for the skin.

PepsiCo announced in 2014 that the dangerous chemical would be removed from its soft drinks. However, BVO wasn't removed from Mountain Dew's list of ingredients until 2020.

Banned in: Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, and the EU

Why it's banned: Got rBGH? That's what Europe, Canada, and many other countries are asking about milk produced in the United States, where dairy cows are fed with a synthetic man-made growth hormone rBGH to increase milk production.

Developed by the agricultural biotech corporation Monsanto, recombinant bovine growth hormone rBGH, also known as rBST, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1993, allowing companies to produce vast amounts of cheaper milk in awful conditions at factory farms.

As one could imagine, drinking hormone-enriched milk cannot be the healthiest option. Studies have found that cows treated with rBGH produce milk that contains elevated levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IFG-1), which can increase the risk of breast cancer and other cancer types.

Luckily, according to a 2014 report by the USDA, the practice is decreasing as only 9.7 percent of U.S. dairy operations were using rbGH.

Still is highly recommended to stick with organic milk or one that says "does not contain rBGH.

Banned in: Austria and New Zealand

Why it's banned: Salmon is a go-to meal for many Americans, who enjoy the meaty flavor and health benefits of the omega-3-packed fish. However, the bad news here is there is a big chance that the salmon you are eating is farmed-raised.

Around two-thirds of salmon eaten by U.S. consumers comes from farms, and the other third is wild-caught. Salmon farming has long been scrutinized by sustainability advocates because of the harsh conditions in which the fish are raised.

Farm-raised salmon are kept in crowded cages and are fed with fed processed fish feed and all kinds of dangerous chemicals like methyl mercury and dioxins. Additionally, the fish are given a lot of antibiotics and other drugs that are not safe for humans to consume.

Banned in: Norway, Finland, France, Austria, the U.K

Why it's banned: It turns out America's favorite cocktail garnish is actually a forbidden fruit in some countries.

Maraschino cherry, the syrupy sweet fruit, was invented during the Prohibition era to garnish virgin cocktails. Actually, the American maraschino cherry is an imitation of a Croatian delicacy made of Marasca cherries.

What the American version of the sweetened cherry has extra is the artificial food dye Red #40 to give that picture-perfect touch. Red #40 is one of the most widely used food dyes, as well as one of the most controversial. The dye is thought to be linked to allergies, migraine, and mental disorders in children.

Banned in: Japan, the European Union

Why it's banned: Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but not if you are having cereals like Rice Krispies, Honey Bunches of Oats and Frosted Flakes.

These breakfast cereals brands contain Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made flavor enhancer that has carcinogenic properties. It's banned in Japan and the European Union.

A number of processed foods, such as chewing gum and frozen foods, contain this preservative.

Banned in: the Europe Union, Japan, Australia

Why it's banned: This one is easy. It's mashed potatoes in a box. Of course, there is something off.

Instant Mashed Potatoes like Hungry Jack come with a side of Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA). This preservative is also found in rubber and wax food packaging. So, it's definitely not something you would want in your body.

Although it's widely used in the U.S., it's banned in Japan, Australia, and the European Union, because it has been linked with cancer.

Banned in: Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Iceland, Norway and Denmark.

Why it's banned: Ritz crackers are a must-have for any cheese board, right? Well, in Europe, you'll have to look for a different brand as the salty snack is nowhere to be found.

Apparently, Ritz crackers contain high levels of sodium-hydrogenated cottonseed oil, a trans fat associated with cardiovascular diseases.

The FDA has actually deemed these types of oils to be "not generally recognized as safe," but certain loopholes allow them to continue to be used in products.

Banned in: the European Union, Russia, and China

Why it's banned: If you were wondering why pigs in the U.S. are much bigger than those in the rest of the world, ractopamine is your answer.

American pigs are given ractopamine, an animal feed additive used to speed up weight gain and increase carcass leanness in finishing swine.

The additive is linked to major health issues both in animals and humans, explaining why it is banned in more than 160 countries.

Banned in: the European Union

Why it's banned: Don't expect to find Nestle's drumstick ice cream anywhere in Europe. The product has been banned for containing a sneaky ingredient within its cone, and it's not extra chocolate filling.

The famous ice cream treat contains carrageenan, a seaweed-derived thickening agent used to extend the shelf life of consumer products.

This food additive has been linked with inflammation and possibly cancer.

Banned in: the European union

Why it's banned: Hawaiian Papaya was genetically engineered to resist the ringspot virus, which destroyed U.S. crops in the 1990s.

Although there are many debates about whether or not genetically engineered produce is safe, the European Union isn't taking any chances, making genetically engineered papaya a forbidden fruit.

Banned in: Canada, the European Union

Why it's banned: Fat-free equals guilt-free, right? Well, not exactly. Doritos light contains a fat substitute that is not good for you.

Olestra is a synthetic fat that prevents the absorption of nutrients and has been linked to symptoms like loose stools and abdominal cramping.

For this reason, Europe and Canada banned the light version of the spicy snack.

Banned in: theUnited Kingdom, Japan, and several European countries.

Why it's banned: Kraft Stove Top stuffing is a go-to choice for a quick weeknight dinner. But, the problem is the stuffing contains a combination of beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT).

Both preservatives are suspected to be carcinogenic and impair blood clotting.

That's why the product is banned in the United Kingdom, Japan and some European countries.

One of the best rappers in recent years died of an overdose in 2018. His legacy lives on throughout his music as Juice Wrld has touched on topics such as the disheartening experience of heartbreaks, drugs, and promotion of mental health. Recently his ex-Ally Lotti has tried creating an argument that he didn't die of an overdose, disrespecting fans and the legacy he's left behind. She's also gifted a watch that the late rapper gave to her to someone else which many fans find disrespectful. The issue is that we need to understand that Juice has passed on and his legacy is still with us, we shouldn't be ruining it by giving attention and associating people who aren't apart of his legacy anymore.

Juice WRLD's girlfriend Ally Lotti claims that the widely-reported cause of death of the young artist is "wrong."

In a recent video she posted to Instagram, Lotti appeared to mock people who believe that Juice died from a drug overdose. She doesn't provide too much evidence to back up her stance, but Lotti does allude to the possibility that something else happened to the "Lucid Dreams" rapper.

"Y'all mad 'cause literally I'm like, 'Oh, blah blah blah you guys think he died from an overdose.' You're wrong! you're wrong!" Lotti said. "Literally, you're wrong so suck a d**k. Okay?"

"There's a lot of s**t y'all don't know that I f**king grieved through myself while I let y'all grieve and talk mad s**t on me. I don't care."

According to numerous sources, Juice WRLD, born Jarad Higgins, was flying in a private jet from Vans Nuys Airport in L.A. to Midway International Airports in Chicago. FBI and FAA agents were waiting on the ground at Midway after the pilot alerted them that the passengers had guns and drugs onboard. Upon landing, Juice reportedly ingested "several unknown pills" in an effort to hide them during a search by the agents. That's when he went into convulsions and then into cardiac arrest. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead on December 8, 2019 at approximately at 3:14 a.m.

This isn't the first time Lotti has raised suspicion about her boyfriend's death. Earlier this year, she posted and deleted a lengthy video about the day he died and claimed that she couldn't speak on everything until she felt "safe."

"I've been quiet for the last year-and-a-half-plus, to myself," Lotti said in the video. "Took myself away from everyone because I knew what was going to happen. If people knew what happened the day before Jarad passed, and the day that Jarad passed and everything like that, which I cannot speak upon at this moment. But I will. I will. I just have to make sure that I am safe. Know you guys have my full support. I cannot let Jarad's legacy be what it is. Jarad would never treat any of his fans like this... It's always been about money and Jarad made enough money to not have this issue."

The current food offered in public schools is usually high in sugar, sodium, and saturated fats. Food that (for the most part) is not nutritious but rather detrimental to the body. I witnessed firsthand my own public school experience and field experience. We know the health issues and chronic diseases linked to these foods. I am passionate about health and nutrition and as a future teacher, I think children should be healthy.

Hayley Nicholls: Postpartum Anxiety, Depression, and Psychosis (Lindsay Clancey case)

# data[].attributes.body
Recently a horrible incident occurred in Massachusetts. A young mother, and nurse, killed her three children then proceeded to try to commit suicide. This case went viral all over social media and the news, because Lindsay had openly talked about her postpartum anxiety and was on several medications. It seems as if she developed a rare condition called postpartum psychosis. The conditions need to be talked about more and women need support so that something like this won't happen to anyone else.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Massachusetts mom accused of strangling her two young kids and trying to kill her infant before jumping out a window had revealed online months earlier that she was struggling with her mental health after giving birth.

Lindsay Clancy, 32, opened up about her battle with postpartum anxiety on Facebook in July, months before the shocking violence at her home in Duxbury on Tuesday, the Boston Globe reported.

Six weeks after the birth of her third child, the mom of three shared another post about how she felt "dialed in" again.

She said she was focusing on exercise, nutrition and her mindset - noting "it has made all the difference," the outlet reported.

The post is not visible publicly on the Facebook page.

Sources have told CBS Boston that authorities are considering the possibility that Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

Clancy, a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, allegedly killed her daughter, Cora, 5, and her son Dawson, 3, and tried to kill her 8-month-old son.

She remains hospitalized after jumping out a second-floor window at her Summer Street home, about 35 miles southeast of Boston, in what authorities said was an attempted suicide.

Clancy faces two counts of murder, three counts of strangulation or suffocation, and three counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, officials said.

Firefighters responding to a 911 call from Clancy's husband, Patrick, discovered their three children "unconscious, with obvious signs of trauma," officials said, the Globe reported.

Cora and Dawson were pronounced dead at a hospital, while the infant boy - who turned 8 months old on Thursday - was flown to Boston Children's Hospital, where he remains hospitalized.

"I cannot begin to fathom the pain, the depths of pain" the family must be feeling, said Plymouth District Attorney Timothy Cruz, who did not provide information about a possible motive.

"We are shocked and saddened to learn of this unthinkable tragedy," Mass General said in a statement. "We extend our deepest sympathies to all those affected by these devastating events."

Clancy, who graduated from Lyman Hall High School in Wallingford, Connecticut, and Patrick were married in 2016 in Southington, Connecticut, the paper reported,

She earned a biology degree from Quinnipiac University in 2012 and holds a bachelor's degree in nursing from the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions, the Globe said.

In her yearbook profile, Clancy wrote that "life is messy sometimes," according to the outlet.

"No matter how hard you fight it, you fall. And it's scary. Except there's an upside to free falling. It's the chance you give your friends to catch you," she reportedly wrote.

In 2018, the couple bought their home at 47 Summer St. for $500,000, according to town records cited by the Globe.

Clancy appeared online to be a doting mom who was living an idyllic life in the suburban community.

"I feel like the luckiest mama in the whole wide world," she wrote. In a later post she said: "So unbelievably thankful for this family and life."

On Wednesday, an SUV parked outside the home had a "Baby on Board" sticker affixed to the back window, the Globe said.

Clancy's father-in-law, Christopher Clancy, declined to comment.

"We're all heartbroken right now," he told the paper.

Residents expressed their shock about the deaths and the charges against their neighbor.

"It's very sad. It's sort of like, 'How can this happen around here?'" Tom McGrath told the Globe, and offered his prayers for the family.

"Especially for the baby - and prayers for what she was going through to actually do this," he added, referring to Clancy.

Duxbury Fire Chief Rob Reardon said support services were being offered to first responders who came upon the horrific scene.

Town Manager René Read appeared emotional as he told reporters that he works closely with the first responders.

"I know a little bit of what they go through, but when they tell me it's the worst they've ever seen, it's going to have an impact," Read said, according to the Globe.

I want to research gender and autism diagnosis. Autism diagnosis can be very helpful in getting students resources and helping them understand themselves and their behaviors. It is also a very expensive and difficult process. Because the criteria are standardized for white males, many autistic people are not given these benefits.

The opioid addiction problem is a huge issue right now, especially with the introduction/popularization of Fentanyl.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When the history of America's long, devastating opioid crisis is finally written, 2022 may be remembered as both a low point and a turning point.

Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests the avalanche of overdose deaths - driven largely by the spread of illicit fentanyl --may have crested in March.

Researchers found a staggering 110,236 people died in a single 12-month period, a stunning new record.

But there are signs help may finally be on the way.

The avalanche of drug deaths spurred a series of major reforms in 2022 to the way drug addiction is treated in the U.S., changes designed to reduce stigma and improve access to care.

2022 was also a year of corporate accountability.

Major drug companies, distributors and pharmacy chains reached settlements of opioid lawsuits filed by state and local governments totaling more than $50 billion.

Experts say that money, paid out over the next two decades, will fund treatment programs and other services that are desperately needed, especially in poor rural towns and urban neighborhoods.

Here are the major developments in 2022 that made it a pivotal year for the overdose epidemic.

Fentanyl got worse in 2022. Probably a lot worse.

Let's start with the grim news.

Street drugs in America got even more toxic in 2022 with the spread of the synthetic opioid fentanyl. Many of those dying are young, under the age of 40.

"They're zombifying people," said Marche Osborne who lives on the streets in Tacoma, Wash.

She's been addicted to opioids for 18 years and prefers heroin, but says fentanyl is now the only drug street dealers are offering.

"Anybody will do anything for a pill, it's ridiculous. They're dehumanizing people. It's not a good thing. It's not going to go anywhere good if [the spread of fentanyl] continues," Osborne told NPR.

Using data from 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced in late 2022 that life expectancy in the U.S. has dropped to its lowest point in two decades, in part because of street drugs.

"Overdose deaths are increasing," said Kenneth Kochanek, a statistician with the CDC. "The majority of those deaths are to younger people, deaths to younger people affect the overall life-expectancy more than deaths to elderly."

The Drug Enforcement Administration said in December it seized far greater quantities of illicit fentanyl than ever before in 2022.

But drug policy experts say Mexican cartels are still able to smuggle the deadly synthetic opioid into the U.S. with relative impunity.

Republicans made fentanyl a major part of their midterm election message, attempting to link drug smuggling to undocumented immigration.

But NPR found the overwhelming majority of opioids being smuggled across the border came through legal points of entry.
What to look for in 2023: Because drug death data is gathered slowly in the U.S., it won't be known for many months exactly how many people died from fatal overdoses in 2022, but the toll is expected to be grim. Look for fentanyl to continue to be a hot-button political issue. Republicans have promised to focus attention on Southern border security and smuggling. The question is whether the GOP can come up with policy solutions that will have a real impact on the Mexican cartels.
2022 brought major reforms to addiction treatment

For decades, recovery treatment has been shaped by drug war-era policies that tend to be punitive, bureaucratic and so confusing many doctors simply refuse to treat people with opioid use disorder.

As a result, studies show roughly 90 percent of people with addiction get no healthcare at all.

Driven in part by the carnage of fentanyl deaths, 2022 was the year that changed that.

Congress and the Biden administration pushed through major reforms to the way people with addiction get healthcare.

The Biden administration announced new rules that will make it easier for many patients to access methadone and buprenorphine, medications proven to help patients avoid opioid relapses.

Congress also eliminated a bureaucratic hurdle known as the "x-waiver" that prevented many physicians from prescribing buprenorphine.

Lawmakers and federal officials also worked successfully to help at least one drug manufacturer prepare to sell the opioid-overdose reversal drug naloxone over the counter in pharmacies, without the need for a prescription.

"We begin to normalize and understand addiction as a disease," said Dr. Rahul Gupta, head of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. "And we start to treat people suffering from addiction as human beings and then prescribe them treatments."

Drug policy experts say this mainstreaming of addiction care, including modern medical treatments for opioid use disorder, could save tens of thousands of lives.
What to look for in 2023: Will the mainstream healthcare industry buy in and begin treating more patients with addiction now that red tape is being eliminated? Studies show deep stigma among care providers toward patients suffering from substance use disorder. It's not clear how many doctors will begin prescribing opioid-treatment medications. "It is actually the most painful part for me as a physician that this stigma exists in the healthcare community," Dr. Gupta said. "If it remains easier for people to get illicit drugs than to get treatment, we're not going to be able to bend the curve."
In 2022 corporations agreed to pay for the opioid crisis

Drug policy experts agree Big Pharma ignited this public health crisis by aggressively marketing and selling opioids.

2022 was the year some of America's biggest companies, including AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, CVS, Johnson & Johnson and Walmart, came to the table to cut deals.

While admitting no wrongdoing, corporate America agreed to pay more than $50 billion dollars in settlements.

"It is important - and long overdue - that we hold opioid companies accountable," said Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.).

While experts believe these payouts represent a tiny fraction of the public cost of the opioid crisis, the settlement money could be a game-changer.

Most of the opioid money is lock-boxed by court agreements in a way that ensures it will go to fund addiction treatment and healthcare over the next two decades.

"No amount of money will ever make up for the lives lost and families destroyed," Hassan told NPR. "The funding supports opioid prevention, treatment, and recovery services."

Along with big increases in state and federal funding for addiction care over the last year, corporate cash could make addiction treatment far more accessible and affordable - especially for people in poor rural areas and urban neighborhoods.
What to look for in 2023: While most corporations involved in the opioid business have reached settlements with state and local governments, they still face scrutiny from the U.S. Department of Justice. The DOJ has already sued two of America's top-10 biggest corporations over opioids, AmerisourceBergen and Walmart, and more civil complaints against other companies are expected to follow. Here again, the corporations insist they did nothing wrong. Billions of dollars in fines and penalties hang in the balance.
What about the Sacklers in 2022?

In recent years, members of the Sackler family who own Purdue Pharma, have emerged as the public face of the opioid crisis.

While they admit no personal wrongdoing, their company has pleaded guilty twice to federal crimes related to opioid marketing, in 2007 and again in 2020.

Their flagship product, Oxycontin, became one of the most widely abused pain pills.

In March 2022, the Sacklers reached a $6 billion dollar settlement with state attorneys general, a deal that's still under review by the federal courts.

Key members of the Sackler family were also confronted for the first time by victims of their company's wrongdoing during an emotional court proceeding that was held via videoconference.

In a process agreed to as part of the settlement, survivors of addiction and those who lost family members to opioid overdoses spoke directly to the Sacklers, describing the agony caused after Oxycontin flooded communities.

"You created so much loss for so many people," said Kay Scarpone, whose son Joe Scarpone, a retired Marine, died of an opioid overdose.

"I'm not sure how you live every day. I hope you ask for God's forgiveness for your actions. May God have mercy on your souls."

The Sacklers didn't speak during the proceeding and offered no apology. (During a congressional hearing in 2020, David Sackler told lawmakers the "family and the board acted legally and ethically.")

Members of the family faced another high-profile public reckoning in 2022 in the form of an award-winning documentary about the life of Nan Goldin.

The celebrated photographer lost years of her life to Oxycontin addiction.

"All The Beauty And the Bloodshed," which won the Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival, follows Goldin as she campaigned to force museums and galleries around the world to break ties with the Sacklers.

"All the museums and institutions need to stop taking money from these corrupt evil bastards," Goldin says in the documentary, as she helps organize one of the opioid protests that rocked the art world.

It worked. Major arts, education and medical institutions around the world have removed the Sackler name from buildings and programs.

What to look for in 2023: The $6 billion Purdue Pharma settlement - which could grant members of the Sackler family immunity from future opioid lawsuits - is still being reviewed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in Manhattan. A ruling is expected in 2023. If the deal is finalized, the money would go to fund drug treatment programs across the country.

"The downing of a suspected Chinese spy balloon just off South Carolina’s coast created a spectacle over one of the state’s tourism hubs and drew crowds reacting with a mixture of bewildered gazing, distress and cheers." (James Poland & John Raby, Feb. 2023)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) - The downing of a suspected Chinese spy balloon just off South Carolina's coast created a spectacle over one of the state's tourism hubs and drew crowds reacting with a mixture of bewildered gazing, distress and cheers.

The balloon was struck by a missile from an F-22 fighter just off Myrtle Beach on Saturday, fascinating sky-watchers across a populous area known as the Grand Strand for its miles of beaches that draw retirees and vacationers. Crowds gathered in neighborhoods, hotel parking lots and beaches to watch the balloon hover, with some cheering just after it went down.

The festive mood belied the seriousness of the situation, with law enforcement around the county of 366,000 warning people not to touch any debris and to instead call dispatchers.

"Members of the US Military are coordinating to collect debris; however, fragments may make it to the coastline," the Horry County Police Department said in a statement.

Ashlyn Preaux, 33, went out to get her mail in Forestbrook, South Carolina, just inland of Myrtle Beach when she saw her neighbors gathered outside. Curious, she went to see what they were looking at. It was easy to spot the balloon in the cloudless blue sky, and what appeared to be fighter jets circling overhead. After the strike, she could see the balloon start to come apart and fall from the sky.

"I did not anticipate waking up to be in a 'Top Gun' movie today," she said.

The balloon hovered directly above the Hardy family as they checked into their oceanfront hotel in Myrtle Beach. The family from Anderson joined several employees in the parking lot taking videos of the scene unfolding above before going up to their room ahead of the missile strike.

Logan Hardy, 12, said the moment of impact generated a "boom" that shook the building. His room's balcony gave the middle-schooler a clear view of the debris dropping.

"It looked like stars falling down," he said, adding: "I will never forget this day."

Some watchers rushed to nearby beaches as the balloon approached the ocean. Travis Huffstetler, who captured photos of the balloon, said the packed Garden City Beach almost looked like summertime on the chilly winter day.

When the balloon began crossing the water, Mark Doss, 54, drove a golf cart three blocks down from his home to Garden City Beach. There, Doss said he and his two teenage children spent 90 minutes watching the strike and waiting in vain for debris to wash ashore.

The sheer size of the white orb awed Doss, who said the approaching fighter jet looked like a model airplane. Doss recalled a "white puff of smoke" after the missile struck the balloon.

"That one jet made a beeline straight to it - wham!" Doss said.

Life continued uninterrupted for many others into the evening. Doss described the spectacle from a biker bar. There, Saturday night thrill seekers gathered like normal as if international tensions had not played out hours earlier 60,000 feet (18,300 meters) above them. A cover band performed while people shot pool and huddled around patio heaters. Along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, nightlife staff went unbothered by the day's events. Others waiting in line outside a club had completely missed the news.

But the severity of the growing diplomatic turmoil was not lost on Doss. He lamented the stress the events placed on his two teenage children, whose exposure to such sights had previously only come through the big screen.

State Sen. Greg Hembree of Horry, who represents the area in the South Carolina General Assembly, watched the strike from his neighbor's backyard.

The sight was both impressive and "a little bit scary" for Hembree, who said Americans typically expect such images to come from other countries.

"It was stunning," Hembree said. "You don't ever think you're going to see a live engagement with an adversary in sort of a military context."

The ensuing debris spread across roughly seven miles (11 kilometers) and landed in 47 feet (14 meters) of water, shallower than officials had expected.

The next day, Brady Deal set out to go fishing, but ended up capturing video of what might have been a portion of the shot-down balloon being brought to shore in South Carolina. A Pentagon spokesperson asked about the footage declined to comment Sunday.

Deal said he saw Navy personnel arriving at the Johnny Causey Boat Landing in North Myrtle Beach with what appeared to be a white, deflated balloon across the bows of two different boats. A third boat appeared to have a crane and boxes on it.

"I was just in the right place at the right time and I thought it was pretty cool," said Deal, a North Myrtle Beach construction worker.

On Saturday, Deal posted a live video on social media when the balloon was shot down.

On Sunday, "when I went over there and I saw the Navy boats, I was like, 'Well, I guess they're going to bring them back in today.' So we went back over there and we hit it at the right time."

As a federal operation to recover the debris continued, life in the beach town largely returned to normal.

About a dozen people strolled along Surfside Beach on the rainy, foggy morning. One couple spotted a ship in the distance through binoculars. A nearby bakery brands the area as "The Family Beach." Locals described the town as typically quiet, save for the hullabaloo the previous day's hullabaloo.

For Sandy and Bob Grubb, the balloon situation was not in the travel itinerary. The retired couple from Lebanon, Pennsylvania has been vacationing there for over 30 years. The two said they had been joking about the prospect of washed-up debris as they collected sea shells on their Sunday morning walk.

"It's a quite peaceful place - gave us some excitement," Sandy Grubb said, laughing. "Not the kind of excitement you need."

This is so interesting and scary to think that people are spying on our country and what is the reason behind it.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Department of Defense on Monday revealed the size of the suspected Chinese spy balloon that the U.S. shot down over the Atlantic Ocean this weekend - and it turns out it was bigger than the Statue of Liberty. The balloon is believed to have been up to 200 feet tall, officials said, a height taller than New York's iconic monument, which measures just over 151 feet tall from the top of its base to its torch.

The balloon, which officials said was carrying surveillance equipment the size of two to three school buses, was shot down over the weekend after it had been seen flying over the U.S. for several days. It was taken out of the air space at about 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, officials told CBS News, with a single air-to-air missile over the Atlantic Ocean off of South Carolina's coast.

Air Force Gen. Glen VanHerck, commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command, revealed Monday that the actual balloon was up to 200 feet tall and that it was carrying a payload the size of a jet airliner.

"[It] probably weighed in excess of a couple thousand pounds," he said. "So I would - from a safety standpoint, picture yourself with large debris weighing hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds falling out of the sky. That's really what we're kind of talking about."

A senior Biden administration official confirmed to CBS News on Tuesday that the U.S. intelligence community believes the balloon was part of an aerial surveillance program run by the People's Liberation Army out of Hainan. The Washington Post was first to report this development.

Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman held a briefing Monday about the balloon incident for about 150 staff from roughly 40 embassies, the official also confirmed. In the briefing, it was revealed that one balloon circumnavigated the globe in 2019, passing by Hawaii and over Florida, the official said. Balloons were also flown over Japan, India, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines, and the State Department is briefing other countries to alert them that their air space is being violated.

The State Department also sent information on the espionage that can be shared with allies and partners to every U.S. Embassy, the official said.

On Wednesday, the Gang of Eight - the bipartisan group of eight congressional leaders who are tasked with reviewing national intelligence information - will also be briefed, and the rest of Congress will be briefed Thursday, the official disclosed.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Monday that Congress was briefed in August on China's aerial surveillance program.

VanHerck said the massive debris field left behind by the destroyed balloon is about 4,921 feet by 4,921 feet - "more than 15 football fields by 15 football fields."

He told CBS News' David Martin that officials have already "collected the majority of that debris that fell in the ocean and other places." He also told Martin that the missile used to shoot down the balloon "absolutely" contained a warhead.

"There was a warhead in the missile," he said. "You can see that explosion on TV as it goes through the lower part of the balloon and right there through the superstructure."

VanHerck added that officials chose not to previously shoot down the balloon because it was initially believed that it "did not present a physical military threat to North America."

"I could not take immediate action because it was not demonstrating hostile act or hostile intent," he said.

China has claimed that the balloon was a weather device and said that the U.S. had an "overreaction" to it. But VanHerck said Monday officials "had a good indication that it was a surveillance balloon from the beginning."

Thousands of people have died and tens of thousands of others were injured by the devastating earthquakes that rocked Turkey and Syria on Monday.

Rescue teams are still desperately searching for signs of life beneath the rubble of collapsed buildings amid grim conditions, but days on from the massive tremblor, the chances of finding survivors lessen with every passing hour.

Here's what we know about the quake and why it was so deadly.

Where did the earthquake hit?

One of the most powerful earthquakes to hit the region in a century rocked residents from their slumber in the early hours of Monday morning around 4 a.m. The 7.8 magnitude quake struck 23 kilometers (14.2 miles) east of Nurdagi, in Turkey's Gaziantep province, at a depth of 24.1 kilometers (14.9 miles), the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said.

A series of aftershocks reverberated through the region in the immediate hours after the initial incident. A magnitude 6.7 aftershock followed 11 minutes after the first quake hit, but the largest temblor, which measured 7.5 in magnitude, struck about nine hours later. More than 125 aftershocks have been recorded so far.

Rescuers are now racing against time and the elements to pull survivors out from under debris on both sides of the border. More than 5,700 buildings in Turkey have collapsed, according to the country's disaster agency.

Monday's quake was also one of the strongest that Turkey has experienced in the last century - a 7.8 magnitude quake hit the east of the country in 1939, which resulted in more than 30,000 deaths, according to the USGS.

Why was this one so deadly?

A number of factors have contributed to making this earthquake so lethal. One of them is the time of day it occurred. With the quake hitting early in the morning, many people were in their beds when it happened, and are now trapped under the rubble of their homes.

Additionally, with a cold and wet weather system moving through the region, poor conditions have made reaching affected areas trickier, and rescue and recovery efforts on both sides of the border significantly more challenging once teams have arrived.

Temperatures have been bitterly low, plummeting several degrees below zero on several occasions.

With scattered showers and snow in the region set to continue, the elements are putting the lives of those trapped underneath the rubble - who have already gone days without food and water - at risk of hypothermia. Meanwhile, officials have asked residents to leave buildings for their own safety amid concerns of more aftershocks.

This is something of interest because it is insane that even after multiple warnings from multiple teachers the child was still able to carry out this attack. It is also crazy because this is a 6 year old.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
RICHMOND, Va. - A 6-year-old Virginia boy who shot and wounded his first-grade teacher constantly cursed at staff and teachers, chased students around and tried to whip them with his belt and once choked another teacher "until she couldn't breathe," according to a legal notice filed by an attorney for the wounded teacher.

The incidents were described in a notice sent to the Newport News school district by Diane Toscano, an attorney for teacher Abby Zwerner, informing the district that Zwerner intends to sue. The notice of claim, which was obtained by The Associated Press through a public records request, outlines behavioral problems the boy had at Richneck Elementary School and troubling interactions he had with teachers and students.

Two days before the shooting, the boy "slammed" Zwerner's cellphone and broke it, according to the claim notice. He was given a one-day suspension, but when he returned to Zwerner's class the next day, he pulled a 9mm handgun out of his pocket and shot her while she sat at a reading table, the notice says.

The notice elaborates on allegations Toscano outlined last month in a news conference.

The document says that several hours before the shooting, at least three teachers and staff members warned school administrators they believed the boy had brought a gun to school. The boy's backpack was searched but no gun was found, and administrators did not remove the boy from class, lock down the school or call police.
A CHILD SHOT HIS TEACHER. A 72-YEAR-OLD MAN OPENED FIRE IN PUBLIC: 6-YEAR-OLD SHOOTS, WOUNDS VIRGINIA TEACHER: School administrators 'could not be bothered' to heed warnings that day, lawyer says. Here's what that tells us about guns in America. Opinion: Opinion: I was against gun safety classes in schools. Newport News, Va., shooting changed my mind. The adults in charge failed. And a teacher was shot. By a 6-year-old child.
The claim notice says Zwerner went to former Assistant Principal Ebony Parker's office at about 11:15 a.m. that day "to advise her that the shooter seemed more 'off' than usual and was in a violent mood." It also says the boy had threatened to beat up a kindergarten student and "angrily stared down" the school security officer in the lunch room.

The document describes several more warnings Parker allegedly was given by staff members about the boy having a gun. "Assistant Principal Parker should have called police, instead she did not follow proper protocol and chose to do absolutely nothing," the claim notice says.

Parker, who resigned last month, could not immediately be reached for comment. A spokeswoman for the school district said she did not know whether Parker has retained an attorney.

Len Wallin, director of legal services for the school system, said in an email that it's standard practice for the school division to forward notices of intent to sue to its insurer, which handles such litigation.

Wallin said the district's insurer will handle decisions on whether it will represent Parker "after consultation with the school board, if that is necessary."
