Hide captionCross Burning In North Carolina; Photo By Jim WallaceIn the early 1960s, University of North Carolina student Jim Wallace, who was not black, photographed a Ku Klux Klan rally and cross burning to document what he thought was a great evil, museum director Lonnie Bunch says.
Hide captionKu Klux Klan Rally In North Carolina; Photo By Jim WallaceAs civil rights activists became more organized from 1963-64, opposition activity also increased. "What I think is fascinating is how we've gone, in 50 years, from people being proud of that to recognizing that was one of the darker moments of the American experience," Bunch says.
Hide captionLester Maddox's Pickrick Drumstick, c. 1973Lester Maddox was the owner of the Pickrick Cafeteria, which kept a dozen axe handles — "Pickrick Drumsticks," he called them — by the front door. Despite the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed segregation in public accommodations, Maddox refused to serve African-Americans, running a group of protesters off with a pistol while his son, customers and employees brandished the axe handles. Maddox took to selling axe handles and other "state's rights" souvenirs.
Hide captionSNCC PromotionAs the civil rights movement gained momentum in 1960, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee Formed in North Carolina, SNCC (often pronounced "snick") helped organize the Freedom Rides, voter registration campaigns and the March on Washington. Former member Joan Trumpauer Mulholland participated in several SNCC activities and donated several objects to the museum.
Hide captionDenim Vest With SNCC ButtonsMulholland joined SNCC in 1960 and served as an office assistant in Mississippi for several years. A button that reads "Never" on the collar of her vest is Bunch's favorite. "That was what segregationists would wear to counter that, to say that you never integrate," Bunch explains. "But what the SNCC people did is they took that button and turned it upside down as a way to protest."
Hide captionGlass Shards And Shotgun Shell From The 16th Street Baptist Church In Birmingham, Ala.Mulholland gathered these artifacts from the gutter outside the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., during the funeral of three of the girls killed in the 1963 bombing.
Hide captionJ.C. Deagan Chicago Vintage Railroad Dinner Bell ChimesEmployment as a railroad porter was considered one of the most stable and prestigious occupations open to African-Americans during the early- and mid-20th century. This engraved dinner chime was presented as a retirement gift to Leo LaRue, a porter who served executives for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad in the 1960s and '70s. "These folks had their own sense of pride," Bunch says, "and basically captured a sense of what was possible in an environment where they were considered inferior."
Hide captionJohn Brown And Frederick Douglas LettersLetters written to his wife while he was visiting Frederick Douglas express John Brown's commitment to abolition, but also his longing to see her and his family. Douglas adds a greeting and reassuring words..
Hide captionKnights Of The Ku Klux Klan Banner, Early 20th Century The Ku Klux Klan, originally founded in 1865 by veterans of the Confederate Army, was an insurgent group that undertook violent and vigilante activities during Reconstruction. The group faded away in the 1870s, but fueled by glorified images of the Klan in the film Birth of the Nation, was founded again in 1915 as a fraternal organization that developed orders nationwide with local chapters.
Hide captionPen Used By Lyndon B. Johnson To Sign The Voting Rights Act Of 1965 The act outlawed educational requirements for voting. Johnson symbolically chose to sign the Voting Rights Bill in the President's Room, just off the Senate chamber, where Abraham Lincoln had signed legislation freeing slaves employed by the Confederacy on Aug. 6, 1861.
Hide captionThomas H. Porter Slave Buttons, c. 1820Thomas H. Porter, a slave trader based in Barbados, sold slaves along the coasts of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia and the Carolinas, circa 1815-1830. He attached these buttons to the enslaved person's clothing during auctions.
Hide captionMaj. Peter L. Robinson, 1917Peter L. Robinson, Sr. (1892-1979) was born in Spotslyvania, Va., one of eight children born to slaves. He got a degree from Miner Normal School and a law degree from Howard University in 1924. He was commissioned as a first lieutenant in 1917, assigned to Camp Meade and later was a major in the Reserves. Robinson taught in Washington, D.C., schools for 40 years.

Hide captionBo Diddley's HatBo Diddley was born in McComb, Miss., in 1928 and became one of rock music's principal architects in the 1950s.
Hide captionHarriet Tubman's Signed Hymnal"This is one of the great treasures of the museum," Bunch says. One of the ways Tubman signaled slaves was by singing hymns. "So she'd sing 'Steal Away to Jesus' or 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,' and you would know it's time to go. And so to be able to have a hymnal that has those songs in it that was hers is just pretty amazing."
Hide captionA Sign From Lallie Kemp Charity Hospital In Independence, La.Another museum piece once belonged to the Lallie Kemp Charity Hospital in Independence, La. It's a carefully hand-lettered sign that tells the days colored residents could come in for medical services and when whites could receive service.
Hide captionA Bill Of Sale For A Slave Named PollyThis is the original receipt for a 16-year-old Negro girl named Polly, who was sold for $600 as a slave. "What really hits me about this document is it starkly reminds us that these people were considered property," Bunch says. "Suddenly you realize that this paper really is a way into the story of this woman's life."
Hide captionChild's PortraitMost images of African-Americans in the early 20th century are portraits of poverty. Bunch came across a remarkable collection of "cabinet cards" — portraits of middle-class blacks who were otherwise "invisible to most people."
Hide captionCassius Clay's (Muhammad Ali's) Head ProtectorThis is an Everlast head protector from the 5th Street Gym in Miami, where Clay trained for his first fight with Sonny Liston. "As soon as he defeated Sonny Liston, he announced that he became a member of the Nation of Islam, became Muhammad Ali," Bunch says.
Hide captionMichael Jackson's Victory Tour Black FedoraInside the hat is a black leather band stamped "By Maddest Hatter ... Made expressly for Michael Jackson ... 100 percent genuine fur." The hat was caught by an audience member attending the July 31, 1984, Jackson concert at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
Hide captionLeg ShacklesThese slave shackles were likely crafted in Africa rather than Europe because they are relatively cumbersome to close and open. Europeans would have instead closed shackles with a padlock. The size of the shackle loops indicates they were used on legs rather than arms.

The National Museum of African-American History and Culture is scheduled to open its doors on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in 2015. Over the past several months, Weekend All Things Considered has been given exclusive sneak peeks of the collection being built for the new museum.
Among the items founding director Lonnie Bunch has shared with host Guy Raz — Michael Jackson's fedora and Harriet Tubman's personal hymnal.
On a visit with Bunch last week, the first thing he pulled out was a letter written in 1858. Radical abolitionist John Brown wrote it to his wife while he was a fugitive from the law — and he happened to be visiting Frederick Douglass at his home in Rochester, N.Y.

Moving is not fun. On the scale of adult activities, it ranks somewhere between taxes and jury duty. Boxes need to be loaded, furniture needs to be lifted and the entire affair is typically fueled by a combination of pizza, beer and pain killers (a combo my friends affectionately refer to as "moving fuel"). It's not fun, and it's rarely easy.

The Nissan NV200, the van that's meant to act as the backbone of the New York City taxi fleet, is being recalled. Compared to some of the recalls we've seen this year, the 2,529 NV200s needing repairs is not a particularly huge deal – but try telling that to their inconvenienced owners and drivers.

No matter where you go in New York City, yellow taxi cabs speckle the landscape, and the newly named Taxi of Tomorrow will certainly help continue this trend. After winning the bid to supply the Big Apple's iconic taxis, Nissan designers based in San Diego, California spent about a year coming up with the perfect shade of yellow to use on the 2014 Nissan NV200 Taxi when it starts picking up NYC fares in October 2013.

Oh, how we love "rebranding." From the stumblebums at The Gap to the desperate deckhands on the Microsoft Titanic, needlessly changing your logo is all the rage these days, so we shouldn't be surprised to see the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission join in on the fun by eliminating the word "taxi" from the city's cabs. That's right, while they'll still be yellow and hailing one will still prove challenging for out-of-towners, New York's taxis will now be identified by a yellow capital "T

The little black cab is to London what the yellow Ford Crown Victoria has been up to New York City. With the departure of Ford's Panther platform, Nissan has stepped in with its all-new NV200, which will soon be spreading like kudzu over NYC streets. It seems that London may also share the Big Apple's fate in adopting Nissan's new minivan as its taxi of choice.

Typically when an automaker gets involved with a Formula One team, it picks one of its divisions to promote through the partnership. You won't see Smart branding on a Mercedes AMG F1 car, for example, or Proton on a Lotus. Scuderia Ferrari does put the Fiat logo on its F1 cars, but when it comes to Red Bull Racing – the team that has dominated grand prix racing the past couple of years – the entire Renault-Nissan Alliance has been getting on board.

Yellow cabs are synonymous with New York. It doesn't matter if it's an old Ford Crown Victoria, an even older Checker Cab or the new Nissan NV200: paint it that deep yellow and put a dome light on it, and you're looking at a New York taxicab. But the Big Apple is about to get a new type of taxi, painted a different color altogether.

"So here's the pitch. It's a movie about a car. But it's not really about a car. It's about something else. What that is isn't important. But it's got a car in it. Not just one car, but lots of cars. Thousands of them actually. And they're in almost every scene. But only in the background. And get this: They're all... wait for it... yellow! And the best part is, we don't have to pay anything for it, in fact, they're going to pay us to put our cars in the movie. And it's going to make our cars

First highly drug-resistant TB case found in U.S.
Misuse of medications is strengthening once-curable diseases
LANTANA, Fla. – It started with a cough, an autumn hack that refused to go away.
Then came the fevers. They bathed and chilled the skinny frame of Oswaldo Juarez, a 19-year-old Peruvian visiting to study English. His lungs clattered, his chest tightened and he ached with every gasp. During a wheezing fit at 4 a.m., Juarez felt a warm knot rise from his throat. He ran to the bathroom sink and spewed a mouthful of blood.
I'm dying, he told himself, "because when you cough blood, it's something really bad."
It was really bad, and not just for him.
Doctors say Juarez's incessant hack was a sign of what they have both dreaded and expected for years: this country's first case of a contagious, aggressive, especially drug-resistant form of tuberculosis. The Associated Press learned of his case, which until now has not been made public, as part of a six-month look at the soaring global challenge of drug resistance.
Juarez's strain – so-called extremely drug-resistant (XXDR) TB – has never before been seen in the U.S., according to Dr. David Ashkin, one of the nation's leading experts on tuberculosis. XXDR tuberculosis is so rare that only a handful of people in the world are thought to have had it.
"He is really the future," Ashkin said. "This is the new class that people are not really talking too much about. These are the ones we really fear because I'm not sure how we treat them."
Forty years ago, the world thought it had conquered TB and any number of other diseases through the new wonder drugs: Antibiotics. U.S. Surgeon General William H. Stewart announced it was "time to close the book on infectious diseases and declare the war against pestilence won."
Today, all the leading killer infectious diseases on the planet – TB, malaria and HIV among them – are mutating at an alarming rate, hitchhiking their way in and out of countries. The reason: Overuse and misuse of the very drugs that were supposed to save us.
Just as the drugs were a manmade solution to dangerous illness, the problem with them is also man-made. It is fueled worldwide by everything from counterfeit drugmakers to the unintended consequences of giving drugs to the poor without properly monitoring their treatment. Here's what the AP found:
•In Cambodia, scientists have confirmed the emergence of a new drug-resistant form of malaria, threatening the only treatment left to fight a disease that already kills 1 million people a year.
•In Africa, new and harder to treat strains of HIV are being detected in about 5 percent of new patients. HIV drug resistance rates have shot up to as high as 30 percent worldwide.
•In the U.S., drug-resistant infections killed more than 65,000 people last year – more than prostate and breast cancer combined. More than 19,000 people died from a staph infection alone that has been eliminated in Norway, where antibiotics are stringently limited.
This April, the World Health Organization sounded alarms by holding its first drug-resistant TB conference in Beijing. The message was clear: the disease has already spread to all continents and is increasing rapidly. Even worse, WHO estimates only 1 percent of resistant patients received appropriate treatment last year.
"We have seen a huge upburst in resistance," said Dr. Laurie Hicks, an epidemiologist for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Top infectious killer
Juarez's strain of TB puzzled doctors. He had never had TB before. Where did he pick it up? Had he passed it on? And could they stop it before it killed him?
At first, mainstream doctors tried to treat him. But the disease had already gnawed a golf-ball-size hole into his right lung.
TB germs can float in the air for hours, especially in tight places with little sunlight or fresh air. So every time Juarez coughed, sneezed, laughed or talked, he could spread the deadly germs to others.
"You feel like you're killing somebody, like you could kill a lot of people. That was the worst part," he said.
Tuberculosis is the top single infectious killer of adults worldwide, and it lies dormant in one in three people, according to WHO. Of those, 10 percent will develop active TB, and about 2 million people a year will die from it.
Simple TB is simple to treat – as cheap as a $10 course of medication for six to nine months. But if treatment is stopped short, the bacteria fight back and mutate into a tougher strain. It can cost $100,000 a year or more to cure drug-resistant TB, which is described as multi-drug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR) and XXDR.
There are now about 500,000 cases of MDR tuberculosis a year worldwide.
Drug-resistant TB is a "time bomb," said Dr. Masae Kawamura, who heads the Francis J. Curry National Tuberculosis Center in San Francisco, "a man-made problem that is costly, deadly, debilitating, and the biggest threat to our current TB control strategies."
Juarez underwent three months of futile treatment in a Fort Lauderdale hospital. Then in December 2007 he was sent to A.G. Holley State Hospital, a 60-year-old massive building of brown concrete surrounded by a chain-link fence, just south of West Palm Beach.
"They told me my treatment was going to be two years, and I have only one chance at life," Juarez said. "They told me if I went to Peru, I'm probably going to live one month and then I'm going to die."
Holley is the nation's last-standing TB sanitarium, a quarantine hospital that is now managing new and virulent forms of the disease.
Tuberculosis has been detected in the spine of a 4,400-year-old Egyptian mummy. In the 1600s, it was known as the great white plague because it turned patients pale. In later centuries, as it ate through bodies, they called it "consumption." By 1850, an estimated 25 percent of Europeans and Americans were dying of tuberculosis, often in isolated sanatoriums like Holley where they were sent for rest and nutrition.
Then in 1944 a critically ill TB patient was given a new miracle antibiotic and immediately recovered. New drugs quickly followed. They worked so well that by the 1970s in the U.S., it was assumed the disease was a problem of the past.
Once public health officials decided TB was gone, the disease was increasingly missed or misdiagnosed. And without public funding, it made a comeback among the poor. Then immigration and travel flourished, breaking down invisible walls that had contained TB.
There are two ways to get drug-resistant TB. Most cases develop from taking medication inappropriately. But it can also be transmitted like simple TB, from a cough or a sneeze.
For decades, drugmakers failed to develop new medicines for TB because the profits weren't there. With the emergence of resistant TB, several private drug companies have started developing new treatments, but getting an entire regimen on the market could take 24 years. In the meantime, WHO estimates each victim will infect an average of 10 to 15 others annually before dying.
A.G. Holley was back in business.
Regimen of drugs
Holley's corridors are long and dark, with fluorescent tubes throwing harsh white light on drab walls.
Only 50 beds are funded today, but those are mostly full. More than half the patients are court-ordered into treatment after refusing to take their meds on the outside.
Juarez came voluntarily. In the beginning, he was isolated and forced to wear a mask when he left his room.
"I was very depressed," he said.
Early on, Juarez's treatment was similar to chemotherapy. Drugs were pumped into his bloodstream intravenously three times a day, and he choked down another 30 pills, including some that turned his skin a dark shade of brown.
"When he first came in we really had to throw everything and the kitchen sink at him," said Ashkin, the hospital's medical director, who experimented on Juarez with high doses of drugs, some not typically used for TB. "It was definitely cutting edge and definitely somewhat risky because it's not like I can go to the textbooks or … journal articles to find out how to do this."
In 17 years of handling complex cases – including TB in the brain and spine – Ashkin had never seen a case so resistant.
Most patients foreign-born
Juarez's adventure in the U.S. had turned into a medical nightmare.
About 60 million people visit the U.S. every year, and few are screened for TB before arrival. Only refugees and those coming as immigrants are checked. The top category of multi-drug-resistant patients in the U.S. – 82 percent of the cases identified in 2007 – was foreign-born patients, according to the CDC.
Juarez's homeland, Peru, is a hotspot for multi-drug-resistant TB. DNA fingerprinting linked his disease to similar strains found there and in China, but none with the same level of resistance.
"So the question is: Is this a strain that's evolving? That's mutating? That's becoming more and more resistant?" asked Ashkin. "I think the answer is yes."
Doctors grappling with these new strains inadvertently give the wrong medicines, and so the TB mutates to become more aggressive and resistant.
Poor countries also do not have the resources to determine whether a patient's TB is drug-resistant. That requires sputum culturing and drug-susceptibility testing – timely, expensive processes that must be performed in capable labs. WHO is working to make these methods more available in high-risk countries as well as negotiating cheaper prices for second-line drugs.
Experts argue if wealthy countries do not help the worst-hit places develop comprehensive TB programs, it puts everyone at risk.
'True homeland security'
Juarez spent a year and a half living alone in a room plastered with bikini-clad blondes, baseball caps and a poster of Mount Everest for inspiration. There were days when he simply shut down and refused his meds until his family convinced him to keep fighting.
"I was thinking that maybe if I need to die, then that's what I need to do," he said, perched on his bed in baggy jeans. "I felt like: 'I'm never going to get better. I'm never going to get out of here.' "
When put side by side, his CAT scans from before and after treatment are hard to believe. The dark hole is gone, and only a small white scar tattoos his lung.
"They told me the TB is gone, but I know that TB, it doesn't have a cure. It only has a treatment like HIV," he said, his English now fluent and his body weight up 32 pounds from when he first arrived. "The TB can come back. I saw people who came back to the hospital twice and some of them died. So, it's very scary."
His treatment cost Florida taxpayers an estimated $500,000, a price tag medical director Ashkin says seems like an astronomical amount to spend on someone who's not an American citizen. But he questions how the world can afford not to treat Juarez and others sick with similar lethal strains.
"This is an airborne-spread disease … so when we treat that individual, we're actually treating and protecting all of us," he said. "This is true homeland security."

Linda Hart's review
Dec 30, 2011
Read in December, 2011 , read count: 1
Almost 4 stars, but really a "guy book" with fast moving, if unbelievable, storyline. Not especially well written. There is another book, In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin, by Erik Larson. That is the book I thought I was picking up at the library & it is supposed to be fantastic. I will read it, but will have to wait as it has 13 holds on it before my name.

[5.0] "It could be argued that Trinity was one of the "original" TNA Knockouts, being a popular figure in the company's early days. Like many Mikey Whipwreck trainees, she was capable of some impressive high-flying offense and seemed to connect with the crowd. Unfortunately, I think she was in the company way too early - with no legitimate women's division or quality opponents for her during her run in TNA during her run, I don't think we ever got to see what she could really do. Had she been around when the company introduced the Knockouts Title, Trinity may well have become a big deal in the division. After a lackluster run in WWE, Trinity has mainly focused on her work as a stuntwoman, though she did make a one-time return to TNA at the first Knockouts Knockdown One Night Only PPV in 2013."

As a filmmaker I needed the most capacity in the smallest size. This hard drive is fantastic. For Mac users, you have to download a driver and you're good to go. I've had this hard drive for about 2 months and I have nothing but good things to say about it. That being said, be very careful when transporting it as it is rather fragile.
It takes minutes for Windows 7 to recognize this drive and sometime I need to reboot. I have had it for almost a month and not pleased with this unit. My other USB drives detected immediately as soon as I plug it in to my USB port.
I am a DJ, and recently i purchased a competitors product with simular spects, but unfortunately the performance of that product failed to meet my work demands.
Proudly i purchased the Seagate backup plus 4TB 2.5" 5400rpm portable drive and i am very satisfied with the performance for the value. Also, I ended up purchasing two because of the value during a sale of this product.
The only reason i did not give this a 5 star rating is because if it were a 7200rpm or higher speed drive, then i would feel 100% pleased.
My advice is to buy this hard drive during a sale, and enjoy the great performance it produces.
I am really happy with this hard drive
From the beginning, this drive made clicking noises on and off, it disconnected itself from my computer more times than not when I tried to transfer files (unlike my two WD drives), and it is basically unusable now as it always shuts down when I try to transfer files. This suggests poor quality control. This is the second seagate drive I have purchased, and the second drive that has failed within a year. I will be sticking with WD drives in the future.
Excellent Drive for network back up. Installed it with my Airport Express as network attached storage and use time machine to back up my mac's.
Bought 2 units. 1 is working GREAT.
2nd was defective out of the box. the 4TB was only reading as a 1.5 TB.
Seagate support was great and is replacing the unit.
Works fine. Great amount of storage for the price.
I've been very pleased with the ease of use. I did need to use my DiskUtility to wipe the drive for use with my Mac as out of the box it requires the installation of software to partner with an Apple computer, but this isn't a hassle and is completed in a matter of moments.
Very pleased with the size of the unit itself as it's non intrusive and compact.
Just plug & play
Great Product
I have many external and portable drives, and yes this is a 5400 drive so it is a bit slower than an external. BUT it's made to be smaller and portable, and for that it's perfect. Love it.
Downloaded all data from my PC and Laptop with no problems at all. Everything is backed-up now and all went good.
Probably the best feature of this drive is that no external power source is required. I have 6 Seagate portable drives now and all of them have performed flawlessly. The only one that is a bit of a pain is the 3 TB with a power supply. That one of course has been designated for storage only as it is not very portable for that reason. Criticizing it for not working with Windows XP is a bit puzzling to me. I would have asked about that before purchase if I were to try and use it with an outdated OS.
Works perfectly fine, exactly as described. Don't give it a low rating because you're dumb and tried to use this with Windows XP and find out it doesn't work immediately. Also, the drive is plenty fast. To test I copied a 4gb file at an average of 120mb/s, which is not slow by any means.
Works well, arrived quickly. Meets all my storage needs and more
The hard drive has tons of storage, however due to its size i can only use it on my laptop then Bluetooth it to my tv. i would recommend checking to see if it is compatible with your tv first, as many tv's will not recognize a hard drive of this size without its own power source.
I purchased 2 of these units, and finally had a chance after a couple weeks to start using them, mainly hooked up through my desktop P'C. I was amazed and very disappointed that neither of the units would even be recognized on the desktop. What is unusual with this is that I thought the size (4-TB) was a limiting factor; but I do have 3 external (not portable) 4-TB drives hooked up and working perfectly with this same PC. My main purpose in purchasing these portables was to start moving away from the external units that require a bulky transformer plugged into a power bar; also the flexibility of taking these much smaller and lighter units with me on my travels, and with some trips to Europe, there would also be no need for power converters between 110 and 220 volts; it would make removing photos and handycam movies a breeze and keep my cameras / handicam clear to continue taking more pictures / movies. So now I am limited to ensuring that the laptop I take has at least Win7 installed; and due to my preference to using my DOS / XP programs for multiple other things, it means taking 2 laptops with me on trips. It makes me so happy to see computer technology advancing to a better state !!! In closing, I have not defined a new purpose for these 2 portable drives; they sit out of their boxes and idle. So I cannot review their characteristics or other features
It's quiet and easy to use with a very high capacity of 4tb.
Totally recommended (^^)d
Should've thought, comparing to other Seagate backup plus, the maximum date transfer rate speed is 600 mb/s. I have other two Seagate backup plus portable hard drives, they are super fast. So I thought it would have been a good buy during the black friday blow sale, but now i know why it was cheaper than others.

Players can choose between a tanking fighter, a grapple-happy dwarf, a quick, axe-wielding Amazon, a fire-blasting wizard, a bow-wielding elf or a magic-using sorceress. They will then make their way through Hydeland in pursuit of uncovering the secrets of the titular relic, the Dragon's Crown.
You can either fill our your four-member party with AI characters, or other players - however, there will be no cross-platform play between the PS3 and the Vita. The PS3 supports drop-in multiplayer, while the Visa uses the ad-hoc network. Along the way you'll meet NPCs Sam (a leader of the Adventurer's Guild), the wizard Lucain, and Rannie, a professional thief who will help out when you need a lock picked and a door unlocked. Finally, the skill tree allows players to develop the main character's abilities as they like and to what suits their playstyle.
Dragon's Crown's PlayStation 3 version is priced at $49.99 US, while the Vita version is $39.99. Be sure to stay tuned for more media and info leading up to its release!

Early UseSmoking, especially non-daily smokers Easy access Peer drinking Low self-esteem DepressionMedia and advertising How the body processes (metabolizes) alcohol
Another risk factor for addiction is the age at which the use or behavior started. Research has shown that the younger the user is, the more likely he or she is to become addicted. Addictive behavior in younger years can also have an impact on brain development, making young people more prone to mental health disorders as the addiction progresses into their later years. The age of first alcoholic drink – a study found that people who started drinking alcohol before the age of 15 were much more likely to have an alcohol problem later in life. Underage drinking in the USA is common – 26.6% of Americans under the legal age for alcohol consumption are drinking, a new report issued by SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services) informed in a new report. The authors explained that although some progress had been made in the short term to reduce underage drinking, especially among children aged up to 17 years, underage drinking rates are still excessively high in the USA. Of the 12-20 year olds who said they had drunk alcohol during the previous four weeks, 8.7% had bought it themselves. Despite all of these risk factors, many people are able to combat or avoid addiction completely. Risk factors do not guarantee someone will be an addict, merely that their chances may be greater. When risk factors are present, abstinence may be the best solution.
A study by Yale University researchers found that non-daily smokers are five times more likely to have a problem with alcohol compared to people who have never smoked.
Experts say there is a correlation between easy access to alcohol (cheap prices) and alcohol abuse and alcohol-related deaths. A US study found a strong link between alcohol tax increases in 1983 and 2002 and a significant drop in deaths related to alcohol use in one American state – the effect was found to be nearly two to four times that of other prevention strategies such as school programs or media campaigns. Stress – some stress hormones are linked to alcoholism. If our levels of stress, anxiety are high some of us may consume alcohol in an attempt to blank out the upheaval. Military service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are likely to experience posttraumatic stress disorder and alcohol use disorders simultaneously, according to researchers at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
People who have friends who drink regularly or abuse alcohol are more likely to drink excessively and eventually have an alcohol problem.
Experts say that people with low self-esteem who have alcohol readily available are more likely to abuse it.
People with depression may deliberately or unwittingly use alcohol as a means of self-treatment. On the other hand, a statistical modeling study suggested that alcohol abuse may lead to depression risk, rather than vice versa.
In some countries alcohol is portrayed as a glamorous, worldly and cool activity. Many experts believe that alcohol advertising and media coverage of it may convey the message that excessive drinking is acceptable. The Royal College of Physicians is asking for a European Union ban on alcohol advertising to protect children.
People who need comparatively more alcohol to achieve an effect have a higher risk of eventually having an alcohol problem, a study carried out by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, found.

Diane, I can see you on your profile you are newly registered here on Fodor's. So first, welcome!
Hardly anyone reads this "Travel Tips" branch, so even though it seems the appropriate place for a post like yours, you might want to repost in the destination forums like... Mexico & Caribbean so many more people will see it and possibly reply.

Thanks Suze, I'lll do that!

Try Cancun, is one of the most visited tourist cities in Mexico. It is also home to world's second longest coral reef system.

This is the CORRECT place to post UNLESS you have a narrower area of the world in mind.
You will not get suggestions to try the Seychelles, Maldives or Cape Verde Islands for example on the Mexico branch.
Obviously, enough people read this branch or there would be no replies. Duhhhhh.
Really MNDiane, you have not provided enough criteria for anyone to make suggestions on. Budget including airfares for example will eliminate a lot of choices that could be suggested as will flight time from home you are willing to undertake.
For example, Cane Garden Bay on Tortola, BVI, might be a real change for you. Aren't you getting a bit tired of the same old, same old, Mexican resort towns?

No - this really isn't the best place to post unfortunately. It might seem so - but in truth almost no Fodorites visit this forum. Only a tiny % even know this one exists. Most only access the boards that cover areas/countries they are keen on/knowledgeable about..
So if you have any ideas for a continent(s) even, you will get MUCH more/better response on the geographic forums.
