Kolohe reaching new levels pictured.
Wednesday's Vans US Open of Surfing schedule is jam packed with action – the day begins with Round 2 (Heats 1-6) of the ASP Women's WCT at 7:30am local time, followed by men's ASP Prime Round 2 (Heats 7-12), Junior Men Quarterfinals (Heats 1-4) and Junior Women Semifinals.
The Vans US Open of Surfing, stop No. 6 of 8 on the Women's ASP World Championship Tour (WCT), took to the water today, completing Round 1 action in peaky two-to-four foot (1 metre) waves. Huntington Beach Pier would host a series of mixed results from the ASP Top 17, with both shock upsets and top scores from the event's top seeds. GO LIVE HERE
Silvana Lima (BRA), 28, current ASP No. 14, earned a crucial Round 1 victory at the Vans US Open of Surfing, relegating reigning five-time ASP World Champion and former event winner Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 25, and rookie Bianca Buitendag (ZAF), 19, to Round 2. Lima has struggled to find her rhythm this season following an injury plagued 2012 and is out to turn her year around with a big result this week.
"I feel really good," Lima said. "This is my best Round 1 result and usually I have to surf in Round 2 here in Huntington. I'm happy to skip that round 2. I've had a tough year, but I'm feeling really good and it's nice to have some waves. Hopefully I can keep going."
Pauline Ado (FRA), 22, current ASP World No. 13, was responsible for one of the day's upsets while making a crucial step towards requalifying for the 2014 WCT. The talented regular-footer would take a massive Round 1 victory over defending event champion Lakey Peterson (USA), 19, and dangerous Hawaiian Coco Ho (HAW), 22, advancing directly to Round 3 of competition.
"I started off slow in that heat and the girls were paddling around me," Ado said. "Then I got that good score. I need to get good results the rest of the year. I've lost in the fourth round a lot of times and it's good to be in round three already. Hopefully I can make another heat and get some important points."
Alana Blanchard (HAW), 22, current ASP World No. 10, contributed to the day of upsets, defeating current rankings leader Tyler Wright (AUS), 19, and wildcard Leila Hurst (HAW), 19, in their Round 1 battle.
"Competing here is amazing and I love the support from the fans," Blanchard said. "It makes the event that much more fun. I always want to surf my best and I try not to really think about the crowd. Coming in to this event, I'm just trying not to think about the ratings. I usually do better when I'm having fun with it all."
While several event favorites were relegated to Round 2, half of the event's top seeds dominated their heats, earning the day's high scores.
Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 22, 2011 event champion, dominated her heat with committed combinations on both her forehand and backhand, earning the Women's high heat total of 16.70 out of 20.
"Really great coming back to Huntington and US Open week is always a unique experience," Fitzgibbons said. "The heats are spread out, but our weeks are filled in with lots of other things. There are big crowds and it's good fun. I think the more time I've been on tour I just draw from experience and have that confidence even when I'm not competing. I've been training and feel really strong."
Carissa Moore (HAW), 20, 2010 US Open Champion, admittedly felt out of sorts following the long break between events, but still managed to take a commanding Round 1 victory compliments of polished forehand surfing.
"I just got done surfing my first heat here and I didn't feel that good, but it was good to just surf a heat," Moore said. "I haven't surfed a heat since Brazil, so it's been about two months and I'm just happy to have the jersey on again."
Moore, former ASP World Champion and current No. 2, knows an additional crown is well within reach, but is trying to focus on another strong heat at the Vans US Open rather than the title race.
"I'm just taking it heat-by-heat like I always do," Moore said. "If you start overthinking things you'll fall to the pressure so right now I'm trying to figure out Huntington. It's always a little tricky so I'm going to just take it day-by-day. It'd be awesome to win here again. To win in front of this crowd would be awesome, but we'll see what happens."
Courtney Conlogue (USA), 20, current ASP World No. 4 and local favorite, dominated her opening heat, capitalizing on her intimate knowledge of the Huntington Beach Lineup to secure a convincing Round 1 win. The Californian is hunting a big result in the only American Women's WCT event this season and hopes to build momentum as the rounds progress.
"Lot of support here and I love being here in my hometown," Conlogue. "I love sleeping in my own bed and getting my coffee before. It just gives me a lot of confidence. I really want to get a good result here. I've got two fifths and it'd be good to replace that. I'd like to build momentum and not peak too soon and hopefully I can put on a good show for everyone."
While several top seeds stumbled in Women's Round 1, ASP WCT surfers continued to rampage through the early rounds of men's ASP Prime competition with defending event champion Julian Wilson (AUS), 24, leading the charge.
Wilson would ignite the highest scores of the Vans US Open, launching a massive backside air-rotation for a near-perfect 9.83 out of 10. The Australian would combine the score with an additional excellent ride of 8.30, securing the event's high heat-total of 18.03 out of 20.
"That air felt good," Wilson said. "It was one of the ones that you just go for and you don't always have the highest percentage on, but I kind of surprised myself. I was in a position in the heat where I could go for it. It was good to land it and it gives me confidence."
Michel Bourez (PYF), 27, continued his dominance at the Vans US Open today, besting Miguel Pupo (BRA), 21, while eliminating local hero Brett Simpson (Huntington Beach), 27, with his patented power game.
"I'm not an air guy and I just stick to my plan," Bourez said. "I knew Miguel (Pupo) would go for big airs and you never know with Brett (Simpson). I think he injured himself, but I hope he's alright."

Film Interview
You Don't Know Jack (But You Will)
An interview with Tom Laughlin, the creator of Billy Jack
Tom Laughlin began his career as an actor, doing small parts in mainstream films (Gidget, South Pacific). As the turbulent '60s came to an end, however, Laughlin turned his head to writing, producing and directing. Beginning with the 1967 film Born Losers, Laughlin launched one of the most successful independent film series in movie history. It wasn't until the 1971 sequel Billy Jack that Laughlin's creation achieved its full pop cultural icon status, though.
Film Review
In Her Shoes
Genial comedy/drama proves "chick lit" isn't just for chicks
The crazy, irresponsible sibling paired with the stable, reliable sibling is as predictable a Hollywood character duo as the immature, free-spirited parent paired with the precocious, overly serious child. Or the hotheaded, young rookie partnered with the gruff, about-to-retire cop. Or ... well, you get the idea. Despite the cliché at its heart, the new comedy/drama In Her Shoes does workmanlike duty, finding appealing actors to fill the roles and a witty, emotion-soaked hankie of a script from which they can work.
Idiot Box
Show Me the Monster!
"Night Stalker" on ABC
Seedy supernatural journalist Carl Kolchak first came to life in a 1972 TV movie called The Night Stalker. The clever tale of a reporter (crusty Darrin McGavin) hunting vampires in modern-day Vegas became the highest-rated TV movie to date. A sequel (The Night Strangler) was conjured up a year later, while the inevitable "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" TV series followed in 1974. Though the series never quite lived up to the potential of the movies, it left a lasting impression on early-'70s TV watchers, including "X-Files" writer Frank Spotnitz who, along with "X-Files" creator Chris Carter, drew significant inspiration from the old show. Carter and Spotnitz even recruited McGavin for a major guest spot on "X-Files."

Save money by collecting and storing seed of your favourite hardy annuals, to sow next year. Saving seed from pot marigold, Calendula officinalis, couldn't be easier. Ensure you allow the seedheads to fully develop on the plant before collecting them (they will turn brown and papery as they mature), and store in a cool, dry place.
When the seedheads have developed fully, remove them from the plant and lay them on a sheet of paper indoors, to dry for a few days. Once dry, separate the seeds from the seedhead. Place the seeds in a clean, labelled envelope.
Place a sachet of silica gel in the container to prevent any moisture developing, and add the envelope of seeds. Seal the container and store it in a cool, dry place such as the fridge.
You can also save seed of cerinthe, nigella and poppy, for sowing in spring.

- Great ServiceNoglutenDined on 9/12/2014I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease and must eat gluten free. This restaurant and our server are excellently prepared to deal with this demand. A large portion of the menu is gluten free and clearly notes what is. Our server asked at the initial greeting of us if anyone wanted gluten free bread (it was surprisingly good). The food was good, and the service was excellent.Special Features:
- 63% discount!conchDined on 9/12/2014Have been to FFC several times for their Copper River Salmon, a seasonal treat.

- Lobster!luvfreshfishDined on 8/30/2014The Maine lobster special was fabulous! Cooked perfect, lots of butter kept warm on the sterno. Side dishes of salad and red potatoes were the perfect compliment to the meal. The wine selection is awesome, the Riesling was perfect for the lobster entree. Not a huge beer selection. Great meal. Friendly staff. Keep it up! Make reservations or you may wait and get hungrier!Special Features:
- A great traditioncoonsadiDined on 8/30/2014My friend, Patty and I have birthdays 4 days apart and were born in 1950. We've made it a tradition to meet at least once a year and catch up on things. She lives there in Denver and I live in Gardner. (About 180 miles away) My wife and I have known Patty for over 40 years and The Fresh Fish Company has always been the perfect venue for such a get together. Very much worth the trip there. Thank you for excellent service and great food. As they say, "The ambiance is impeccable."Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/25/2014Went during Restaurant Week and the menu was great! Had the prime rib and garlic shrimp, clam chowder. Also there were four of us. 3 had the special of prime rib. The sides were steamed vegies(a little overcooked), sweet chili tomatoes(good) and parsley red potatoes(good). My husband had the gigantic lobster for his 77th birthday! Loved it and the chocolate mousse. It was interesting to note how many tables around us were celebrating a birthday to get the discount. The server was GREAT!Special Features:
- Filthy and disgustingLin21Dined on 8/24/2014Our night started off with dirty utensils and plates. After having those items replaced everything thereafter was also dirty. The whole experience ruined the night and our appetite was lost. I don't know how dishes are washed there but no one was doing the job right. Will not return.
- Not what we expectedcuriousstasterDined on 8/24/2014the food was ok, it did not wow us with the flavors. Seems to be an old family establishment that people have been coming to for a long time. I personally did not think it was worthy of many stars.
- Fresh Fish CompanyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014The food at the fresh fish company was very good. I thought that our waiter was very rushed and brisk with us. He didn't really strike up any conversation. I felt he was overwhelmed. Not very friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DecentabradleyjrDined on 8/24/2014Food was decent for Denver Restaraunt Week. Had Red King Crab and Crab Trio. Good portion, yams were not good (my opinion). Service was just ok. Server wrang in wrong drink for wife and then wrang in completely wrong meal also. Good for an occasional treat but not planning on making it a regular stop.Special Features:
- DRW Disappointment ...Taxiu7VIPDined on 8/24/2014We have been regulars at Fresh Fish Co since late 2010 and this most recent visit was very disappointing when compared with all of our prior visits. One of our first visits was to sample the then "5280" menu and made a great impression. We've taken out of town guests and neighbors, always with great food and service. So we decided to take some friends who really enjoy dining out and the overall experience was mediocre at best. Service started ok, then disappeared, then finally had to track down manager to get correct billing for wine. Screaming kids running around the aisles was not only annoying but dangerous for them. One toddler knocked a wrought iron wall hanging off the hook and thankfully didn't get injured. Food was ok.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- pleasant visitwwincoloradoDined on 8/24/2014This was our first visit to Fresh Fish Co. and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Comfortable atmosphere, good service, excellent food. Will be back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The fish tanks they have all over are quite enjoyable to watch, give one a calming effect so you can enjoy your dinner even more. The service is impeccable, really, you must try this place at least once and you'll return & return & return, just as we did.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dated but delicious diningGregDined on 8/23/2014This restaurant is old, and looks it. It is stuck in an 80's time warp and not in a good way. Which is too bad because the food is so good! But we have a hard timing paying for fine dining when we don't get the full experience of a more modern dining room. Our server was efficient and knowledgeable but honestly, he didn't imbibe a fine dining attitude of being friendly, conversational and concerned about us as diners. The menu is so informative letting you easily know which fishes are farmed and which are wild caught. Gluten free items are underlined for easy selection. They even have gluten free bread! If you only care about good food this is your place. If you want an overall dining experience, you might want to go someplace else.
- not greatdenisebDined on 8/23/2014A pretty disapointing dinner. The primes rib was dry and tastless, the fish plate was so small that one in our party had to order another dish, the crab was cold....
- Just plain badFoodieVIPDined on 8/23/2014I heard this place used to be the only place on Denver to get seafood, well I would say it's now the worst place. The restaurant is so run down looking we should have exited before being seated. The food was also terrible! Salad was wilted, fried food was just gross. Dry, greasy and thick batter on everything from calamari and crab cakes to kids chicken fingers! Seriously don't waist your money. Even the fries were bad.
- great food for a great priceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/23/2014I took my wife there for our first anniversary. It coincided with Denver restaurant week which was awesome.

Franchisees don't like the chain's margin-sapping low pricing. Plus, US sales dropped for the first time in 10 years.
McDonald's (MCD) franchisees aren't exactly lovin' it.
Owners of McDonald's outlets are increasingly pessimistic about their ability to turn a profit, given the fast-food chain's heavy discounting and Dollar Menu items, reports the Nation's Restaurant News, citing a survey from Janney Capital Markets.
McDonald's has turned to its value menu to boost traffic to stores amid soft global demand, but so far that doesn't appear to be having the desired effect.
The company on Friday reported a first-quarter profit that was little changed, although same-store sales in the U.S. dropped for the first time in a decade, according to Bloomberg. McDonald's also warned that sales would drop in April, The Associated Press reports.
Franchisees said discounting is hurting their ability to sell items at full-margin prices. Asked to rate the level of 2013 discounting on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest possible price cuts, franchisees gave an average response of 8.32, NRN notes. The historical average level is 5.
As previously reported here, McDonald's Dollar Menu is causing something of a bind for the restaurant chain, which wants to lure customers struggling with higher payroll taxes and a still-recovering economy. But getting people into the stores with cheaper items produces a quandary for McDonald's. After all, if you can buy a Sausage McMuffin from the Dollar Menu, why pay the full price of $4.20 for a Big Mac?
Restaurant owners have pushed back against some discounts requested by McDonald's. The Operators National Advertising Fund, a cooperative of franchise owners, recently voted against McDonald's request to sell hamburgers and cheeseburgers for only 69 cents and 89 cents, respectively, NRN notes. About 80% of McDonald's 34,000 restaurants are franchised.
The group also pushed back against selling McDonald's new McWrap product for $1. The franchise owners, however, agreed to add more $1 items such as the Grilled Onion Cheddar Burger and the Fish McBites, which haven't caught on with customers.
In the meantime, competitors are introducing new products, heating up the battle with McDonald's. Burger King Worldwide (BKW) is serving turkey burgers, while Wendy's (WEN) debuted flat bread grilled-chicken sandwiches.
"The economy is still coming back," one respondent in the Janney survey said. "The corporation wants so much discounting. When is the cash flow coming up?"
Shareholders are likely asking the same question.

everything is overpriced and the burgers are just plain blah. I would like to see them get onion rings on the menu or how about some MC "TOTS" ?? I am suprised they didn't jump on that band wagon. Value meals are not value meals anymore. Even if I have to pay a buck or two more to get a real hamburger I will do that to get a good quality burger. Fries are still okay if you can ever manage to get them while they are hot...
I grew up loving Mickey-D's. Over the years, I have seen the sandwich prices double from what they were 5 years ago. Then there's the problem of good workers... I guess they aren't at Mickey-D's. EVERY time I go and order takeout something is either missing or wrong. Yesterday, I got a Quarter-Pounder, and when I pulled it out of the box when I got it home, the workers had PUT NO MEAT between the buns!!! Seriously, I had a bun and cheese with ketchup. We had to take the thing back and show them... seriously, the workers never questioned giving a customer a $4 BUN???
Mickey-D's needs to make sure they have adequate service for their customers charging the prices they are these days. Anymore, I'm getting Subway and Arby's way more often than McDonald's.
"Franchisees said discounting is hurting their ability to sell items at full-margin prices."
I wonder just what are "full-margin prices". Is there a book somewhere that tells what the full margin price for a hamburger is?
The owner of the McDonalds in my town lives in a gated community. Hard to feel sorry for them because they have to discount some items.

Vulnerabilities in Xine-Lib and Mplayer
Vulnerabilities have been discovered in two major media players for Linux. A Xine-Lib vulnerability also affects Mplayer.
The vulnerability in Mplayer was disclosed just recently; further information is available from the project hompage for the player. The vulnerabilities were discovered in part by Core Security. One of the vulnerabilities was inherited by Xine-Lib. Other applications based on Mplayer, or the Xine library may be affected. Security researchers classify both vulnerabilities in both projects as extremely critical.
The vulnerability, which affects both Mplayer and Xine-Library, can be exploited by injecting manipulated comments in loss-free FLAC compressed files (Free Lossless Audio Codec). The attacker can use this vector to provoke a stack overflow in the "demux_audio.c" file, and then run injected code with the player's UID.
Based on current findings, only Mplayer and projects based on it are affected by the bug. Attackers can use some IPv6 URLs to provoke a buffer overflow in the "stream/url.c" file's "url_escape_string" function. An array indexing error in "demux_mov.c" can also provoke a buffer overflow on parsing MOV files. Additionally, a buffer overflow can occur on evaluating CDDB files.
The vulnerabilities affect Xine-Lib up to version 1.1.10 and Mplayer up to version 1.0rc2. The Mplayer team has released patches to remedy the situation. Distributors are likely to follow suit with updated packages in the next few days.

probably the shortest blog i will ever write that has to do with the whole quil imprinting story
"so mckinsey any guys catch your eye?"molly asked i knew they were talking about quil "nope"i said popping the p "well ,you know if you see a guys that are interested i-"seth started but i cut him off "i dont want a boyfriendand you can tell quil that too"
"why dont you want a boyfriend?"jacob questioned i didnt say anything they all just starred at me waiting for an answer
"i got to go"i said getting up from the lunch table even though it was only half way through lunch.
Bad memories:
It all started when i was 6 years old,my dad died.my mom would spend everynight crying about it and not only did it really mess up my sleeping patterns it also made me think whats the point of loving someone if 1 day there eventually going to leave you. when he died my mom would say dads on a buisness trip but the truth was he left because he didnt love me (at least thats what i thought when i was little and didnt know better).

Depending on your politics, you may or may not agree with this issue's feature story, "The Economics of the Great Healthcare Debate," by my colleague, Sean Keehan, affiliate professor of healthcare economics, which focuses on the economics of healthcare spending. But you can't question the impact this issue will have on next year's 57th Presidential Election. The topic, and the rapid acceleration of debates among President's Obama's potential Republican opponents, got me thinking about leadership and the most important characteristics to consider when choosing a leader.
While strategic vision and the ability to lead your organization—and in this instance, your country—is crucial to success, I believe the important thing to keep in mind is that leading is a marathon, not a sprint. Leading is not something that comes easily or is truly mastered. I believe the right type of leader varies not only with the type of organization, but also its stage of development. Some leaders can adapt from environment to environment, from one phase to another in an organization's evolution. But sometimes, new circumstances call for new leadership.
An individual with strong skills can be a good manager; one with passion can be a zealot; and one with soul can be a good philosopher; but it takes all three to be a leader. There's a great quote by James MacGregor Burns, "Divorced from ethics, leadership is reduced to management and politics." I believe this ethos is very consistent with the approach to leadership we take at the Sellinger School.
Effective leaders take all stakeholders into account. Leading is not based on a title, a position on one issue, or a hierarchy within an organization. We are all leading others in one way or another—we can do that well and consciously or coast along and miss opportunities to make a real difference. Effective leadership is a function of how we lead; where we lead from; where we lead to; what you are leading; and why you lead.
I would be remiss not to acknowledge a great leader lost to his battle with pancreatic cancer, Steve Jobs. As it happens I believe he epitomized the assets I discussed above. Take a look at this article, I think it does a nice job of outlining one of the great lessons Steve Jobs taught us about leadership by example—no one is expected to have all of the answers all of the time; however, how we respond to the unexpected challenges, opportunities, and choices that we face speaks to our character as leaders. We must be prepared for twists and turns along the way; we are tested by time and circumstances.
Finally, take a moment to view this video interviewing one of our own professors, Peter Lorenzi, Ph.D. Peter summarizes the concept of effective leadership perfectly, "Leadership is systematic, purposeful influence. It has to be organized; it has to have a strong sense of purpose or vision behind it; and it has to have the ability to change people, including yourself."
I urge you also to reflect on some of these facets of leadership over the next year as you weigh your opinions of our country's next leader—and in your everyday life. And as always, please do reach out to me at email@example.com if you'd like to discuss this or any other topic in more detail.
View a video of Karyl B. Leggio, Ph.D., dean of the Sellinger School.

The Green Bay Blizzard are up for sale. Three years after Titletown Football Group purchased the franchise from a group led by former Packer Brian Noble to keep the organization alive, they've put the Indoor Football League team on the market. The Blizzard finished 4-10 this past season, drawing an average of 3100 fans a game to the Resch Center. The team has not made a profit in any year Titletown owned the team, but the losses have declined each year. Negotiations on a new lease with PMI, owners of the Resch Center are taking place but unless a new owner is found by September 1, the Blizzard may have to suspend operations for the 2014 season.

The United States federal courts is the system of courts organized under the United States Constitution and laws of the federal government of the United States. The federal courts decide disputes involving the Constitution and laws passed by Congress.
Altogether, almost 1,770 judgeships are authorized in the federal court system. The federal courts hear far fewer cases than do the state courts, but federal court cases tend more often to be of national significance.
The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial body in the nation and leads the judicial branch of the federal government.
Circuit Courts
The United States Courts of Appeals are the intermediate appellate courts of the nation. There are thirteen of these courts.
District Courts
The United States District Courts are the trial courts of the federal courts. This level of court is comprised of ninety-four different courts.
Bankruptcy Courts
The United States Bankruptcy Courts handle matters of bankruptcy across the nation. Courts correspond with the jurisdiction of the United States District Courts.
Courts of specific subject-matter jurisdiction
There are seven courts of subject-matter jurisdiction in the federal court system. Most of these are Article I tribunals established by the United States Congress. For a summary of these courts, see Federal subject-matter jurisdiction courts.

Article III judges
Article III judges refer to judges who serve on courts authorized by Article III of the Constitution, which created and enumerated the powers of the judiciary. Those judges are: justices of the Supreme Court, judges of the Circuit Courts of Appeal, judges of the District Courts and judges of the Court of International Trade. These judges are appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by Congress before joining the court. These judges serve life terms.[1]
Non-Article III judges
Article III judges are not the only ones serving the federal judiciary. Notably, bankruptcy judges and magistrate judges also contribute to case resolution.
Bankruptcy judges serve fourteen-year renewable terms after being appointed by the judges of the corresponding Circuit Court of Appeal.
Magistrate judges serve eight-year renewable terms and are appointed by a majority vote of active district judges on the court.[2]
Non-judge members of the judiciary
The judicial branch is supported by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
Number of federal judges
The number of federal judicial positions is set by the United States Congress, which authorizes a set number of judge positions for each level of the courts and makes adjustments as necessary.[3][4]
Article III
- Supreme Court of the United States: 9 justices, as set by the Judiciary Act of 1869.
- United States court of appeals: 179 judgeships[5]
- United States district court: 677 judgeships[5]
- Federal magistrate judge: There are 517 full-time and 42 part-time magistrate judgeships.[6]
- United States Court of International Trade: 9 judgeships[5]
Article I
- United States bankruptcy court: 350 judgeships[7]
- For more Article I courts, see: Article I tribunal.
Other branches
Executive branch
The most integral responsibility of the executive branch as pertains to the judiciary is to nominate and appoint judges for service on the federal courts. See this category for a list of every judge appointed by each president throughout our nation's history.
For a list of current vacancies on the federal courts, see the Federal Court Vacancy Warning System.
The Cabinet level post of United States Attorney General is the highest ranking member of the United States Department of Justice. He or she is responsible for the United States Attorneys assigned to each judicial district, as well as the Assistant United States Attorneys serving.
The United States Solicitor General argues cases on behalf of the federal government.
Legislative branch
The United States Senate is responsible for confirming federal judges following appointment by the president. The Senate Judiciary Committee evaluates nominees and considers federal legislation pertaining to the third branch.
Senators are also charged with recommending nominees to the president for appointment to federal courts in their respective states.
House of Representatives
The Judiciary Committee of the United States House of Representatives considers and recommends legislation pertaining to the judicial branch.

The Palm Beach Institute Rehabilitation Facility
The Palm Beach Institute is a drug rehabilitation facility which takes a multidimensional and comprehensive approach which honors the diversity of both the people and personalities who struggle with addiction. This Florida-based drug rehabilitation center offers a full range of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services, including programs for adolescents, eating disorders, detoxification, and family programs. For over forty years, The Palm Beach Institute had provided quality treatment programs from their facilities in West Palm Beach, Florida and are both nationally and internationally recognized for their commitment to quality care and excellence. The Palm Beach Institute was also the first private drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in the state of Florida.
The Palm Beach Institute also offers unique drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs such as recreational therapy, comprehensive aftercare programs, and alumni programs. This multidimensional and comprehensive approach is offered within a supportive and healing atmosphere where the body, mind and spirit are restored from the ravages of addiction. The multidimensional approach that The Palm Beach Institute uses in drug rehabilitation as well as alcohol rehabilitation recognizes that each individual is unique with a distinct set of characteristics involving race, culture, life history, drug of choice and using style, among other traits.
Recognizing that each person responds to different therapeutic and counseling approaches, the Palm Beach Institute has established a multi-faceted approach to drug and alcohol rehabilitation which includes not only addiction counseling, but family therapy, psychiatry, and mental health counseling. Other unique facets to this multidimensional approach used by the Palm Beach Institute include alternative therapies, recreational therapy and the use of a technique called psychodrama in which clients recreate the life situations within their family structure—in both their immediate and extended family structures– and uncover those life events which lead the client to their substance use and abuse.
Along with their drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs, The Palm Beach Institute is one of the few Florida-based treatment facilities that offers on-site medical detox to drug and alcohol addicted adults. The Palm Beach Institute also offers programs for adolescents aged 13-17 who are struggling with drug and alcohol dependence issues.
The Palm Beach Institute offers other drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs such as the Olive House, a transitional house for adults. There are also family programs, like our three-day family program, in which families of those struggling with addiction can be active participants in the healing process. Recreational programs centered on art, music, and physical activities are also an integral part of this multidimensional process. The full continuum of care provided by The Palm Beach Institute provides the stability and consistency throughout every step of an individual's stay. In each step, clients are evaluated and challenges to long-term recovery are identified and addressed in order to build a solid relapse prevention plan.
The Palm Beach Institute is accredited by the Joint Commission, which was formed in 1951 and has been acknowledged as the leader in the development of the highest standards in the healthcare field. The Palm Beach Institute is also accredited by the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP). The NAATP, developed in 1978, has stood at the forefront in the addiction treatment field.
