In the 1980s and 1990s, both states and the federal government began to crack down on drug offenses at every level. Fighting drug crime was prioritized. Mandatory minimum sentence laws were passed. Prosecutors began stacking sentences to keep people in prison for longer.
Rethinking the Drug War around fentanyl and its analogues
Should a drug relapse on probation mean prison time?
Right now, Iowa and most jurisdictions deal with drug abuse almost exclusively through law enforcement. If you're caught with a prohibited drug, or one you don't have a prescription for, you can be arrested, charged and convicted of a criminal offense. In most cases, that means you'll be incarcerated -- with little to no access to drug treatment.
Iowa Supreme Ct: Immigration status OK to consider in sentencing
In 2018, a Mexican immigrant who had been brought to the U.S. as a teenager was convicted in Iowa of intent to deliver marijuana. During a 2017 traffic stop, officers allegedly found 184 one-pound bags of marijuana and a handgun in his car. Although he claimed he had been using the marijuana to treat back pain, Guillermo A. pled guilty to the charge.
Iowa's Good Samaritan Law seeks to save lives
Iowans should never have to choose between saving someone's life or putting themselves in legal jeopardy in the event of a drug overdose. That is the purpose behind the state's Good Samaritan Immunity Law enacted in 2018.
In Iowa, dealers in illicit drugs are required to get tax stamps
Many people call it a punitive measure or an extra punishment for distributing drugs. If you're caught dealing illegal drugs in Iowa, you may be charged with tax evasion if you didn't obtain excise tax stamps for what you sell. Having the stamps proves you've paid the required taxes.
Clearing up confusion: Are CBD products still illegal in Iowa?
On May 13, 2019, Iowa's governor signed the Iowa Hemp Act. Many supporters saw this as an opportunity for products containing hemp-derived Cannabidiol (CBD) to be manufactured, sold and bought within the state.
Diversion programs limit the consequences of criminal convictions
Diversion programs offer a way for people with minimal criminal histories to avoid becoming trapped in the criminal justice system.
Study: Asset forfeiture does little to reduce crime, drug use
A recent study released by the Institute for Justice, a libertarian-leading public interest law firm, calls into question a number of justifications for civil asset forfeiture. Contrary to claims by law enforcement, seizing property from criminal suspects does not appear to meaningfully reduce crime rates or lessen drug use. Far from being used to fight major drug traffickers, civil asset forfeiture is usually deployed against the poor and people of color.
Could Iowa cut its incarceration rate by half? ACLU says yes.
The state of Iowa could reduce its incarcerated population by 5,427 and save $360,400,064 by doing so -- all without a major impact on public safety, according to the ACLU of Iowa. The organization, along with ACLU affiliates nationwide, recently released a blueprint to reduce mass incarceration in the state.
A large percentage of drug field tests result in false positives
If a drug field test comes back positive, that is generally considered enough to justify an arrest. Field tests are inadmissible in most courts, so further testing must be performed by a lab. Unfortunately, lab results can take months to come back. If a field test is inaccurate, an innocent person could be stuck in jail for a long time before the inaccuracy is discovered.

Simon Featherstone, who has died aged 56, was one of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's leading China experts, and witnessed the rise of China from the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution to her ascendancy as a world power. Whereas, before the end of the Cold War, experience of Europe and the Soviet Union was seen as the route to the top in the FCO, Featherstone's career marked a change of emphasis towards the Asia/Pacific region.
Simon Mark Featherstone was born on July 24 1958, the son of David Featherstone, a theologian, and his wife Nora, a French teacher, and educated at Whitgift School, Croydon, and Lincoln College, Oxford, where he read Law. He joined the FCO in 1980, and after studying Chinese at the School of Oriental and African Studies and in Hong Kong he was posted to Peking. It was still a city of bicycles, Mao suits and conformity.
The British were regarded as an imperial power, and the negotiations over the future of Hong Kong had just begun. Peking — now known as Beijing — was regarded as a "hardship" post, but Featherstone saw it as a challenge and never lost his fascination with China. Returning to London in 1987, he went on loan to the Cabinet Office and was there in 1989 when the massacre of student protesters in Tiananmen Square took place. He was able to use his experience of China to good effect in advising on sanctions against the regime.
He then moved to Brussels in 1990 to cover environmental issues in the UK Representation to the European Union. The importance of the environment was by then firmly on the international agenda, and Featherstone, with his legal background, became a master in Britain's interest in coping with the thicket of EU regulation — he was acknowledged by friend and adversary alike as "the computer".
But China again beckoned, and at the young age of 36 he was appointed consul general in Shanghai, where Britain was in stiff but successful competition with foreign rivals to equip the new Shanghai Airport. Featherstone moved to be political counsellor in Peking in 1996 as the negotiations for the handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997 were being completed and played a key role in understanding the Chinese government's intentions.
He returned to London in 1998 to head the European Department in the FCO, which was charged with the difficult issue of the accession of the former communist countries of Central Europe and the Baltic States — in particular, whether their citizens should have the right of residence and employment in Britain. This was a matter for political decision, but Featherstone believed that the post-war division of Europe should be ended and that enlargement of the EU was in the interests of Britain's security and prosperity.
Featherstone was appointed ambassador to Switzerland in 2004 and was much involved in negotiations to force Swiss banks to reveal details of secret bank accounts held by foreign nationals that were being used for tax evasion and money laundering. However, he was called again to work with China on appointment as the British director of the Shanghai Expo 2010. The British Pavilion, designed by Thomas Heatherwick, won the gold medal for pavilion design, but it required an immense and skilful campaign by Featherstone to fill it with the best of British culture and industry. He was appointed CMG for his work. After the Expo he was appointed High Commissioner to Malaysia.
For Featherstone, through his long association with China, this could have been a difficult assignment given Malaysia's rivalry with China in the Asia/Pacific region. There were still vestiges of Britain as a colonial power that had at one time led to the "Buy British Last" campaign and the banning of Concorde overflights. But he found that the Malaysians welcomed his knowledge of China, and he quickly got on terms with Najib Razak, the prime minister, who described Britain moving from "benign neglect to constructive engagement" during Featherstone's time. There was a rise in trade and investment, including the purchase of Battersea power station by a Malaysian consortium. The loss of the Malaysian airliner MH 370 over the sea in March 2014 led to close cooperation in the search operation.
He was a keen supporter of British education in Malaysia, notably with Nottingham University, which honoured him with a Doctorate of Laws.
Having grown up in south London, he was a Crystal Palace supporter but, ever the diplomat, he presented himself in Malaysia as a Manchester United fan, since this is the team supported by half the Malaysian population.
Featherstone was diagnosed with cancer in September 2013 but served on with great courage in Malaysia until May 2014. Once, when still a junior official in the FCO, he was amused to be quoted in The Guardian as "a senior Foreign Office mandarin". But that never became his manner. He had an approachable style that won friends wherever he served. While he played his official role with dedication, he never took himself too seriously. As a committed Christian, he saw public service as part of his calling, treating everyone with respect, seeking to show integrity in all his dealings.
He married, in 1981, Gail Salisbury, whom he met when they were both at Oxford. She survives him with a son and two daughters.
Simon Featherstone, born July 24 1958, died August 26 2014

Hotel was clean and well maintained. Air-conditioning didn't function well but they fixed it promptly. Breakfast was typical Chinese and good. Didn't explore local area but convenient for work and taxis. Staff was helpful and checked our luggage for the day.

Payment issue
I use my American Express Card to guarantee the room, and request to pay the room rate of RMB899 in local currency. However, the Hotel says that it has deducted my payment from my American Express Card, so that I can not pay my hotel charge in local currency, RMB. This is not good. I have chosen to pay higher rate, 10% more per night to have the privilege to pay my hotel bill in local currency. It does not happen this time. Please check what happens. Thanks. Best regards, James

text: Since getting my Big Green Egg my way of thinking about grilling and barbeque has completely changed. For one thing it meant using charcoal: something I haven't done since the old hibachi in the back yard when I was nine. When I bought the Egg it came with a bag of Big Green Egg lump charcoal: wood that had been made into charcoal by lighting it and removing the oxygen, such as burying it in sand. Nothing added, just a good burn that gives to my nostrils a heady smoke…read more

I can imagine this is how Tamir Rice felt on the day he died. I sure he felt as if nothing bad would happen. He would just go to the park, play, and then come home. That day on November 22nd when he got up on a Saturday morning excited about playing at the park, I can imagine him hopping out of bed, barely rinsing out his mouth with water before putting on his clothes. Rummaging through his closet, grabbing at whenever was warm, clean, and comfortable. I can see him racing to the kitchen. Opening the refrigerator, and pulling out the milk before grabbing a bowl. He might have poured the cereal of his choice into that bowl, spilling the milk on the kitchen table as he gobbled up his breakfast before running past his mother, snatching his coat from the closet next to the front down. Rushing to get out into the sun light barely creeping its way from behind clouds finally parting after a night of snow.
"Get back before the street lights come on." I can imagine her saying that as she walked tired into her bed room to start her shower.
"Aight." I'm sure he said, or meant to say as he dashed down the road that led to the park.
He might have been excited about his new toy. He might have felt over joyed at the thought of running around with a gun that looked almost as real as the ones he's seen in movies. As he walked down the road tattered from wear and tear, patchy with cracks and pools of ice, he might have pulled out the orange tab from the tip of the toy gun and threw that fake looking thing on the ground as he went.
Nothing in him would have warmed him that later on that same morning he would be shot by the police officers charged with protecting him and his mother from the bad guys. He was just a kid at play.
Some of his time playing can be seen on the video provided below. He walked around the park, pulling out his gun and shooting his imaginary bullets at any and everything. He looks small. He looks like a child at play defending the world from the bad guys. Keeping us all safe from evil. Or maybe he was the glorified gangster that he's seen on television or in movies. Either way, he was just shooting his invisible bullets at nothing. Just running around on a cold day in the remnants of snow still on the ground or atop trees and park benches.
But someone saw him with that toy, and without the orange tag that was now sitting somewhere in the snow, it might have looked real. Worried about their safety, the safety of other children at the park, and even the young man with the gun, they called 911 and reported that a child was carrying a gun in the park. But they also said that it might have been a toy. Just a piece of plastic that could harm no one.
When the cops showed up he was in a gazebo shooting at translucent foes that occupied the space between reality and his imagination. They hop out of the car, hide and then shoot. They might have told him to put his hands up. They have identified themselves as cops. But he was 12 years old and none of that made sense to him. None of that was as important as pulling out his toy and showing them that it was just a toy. He might have pulled out the piece of plastic to show the two police officers who were supposedly trained to identify a real gun that he was just playing with a toy.
You might get on your high horse as say that he shouldn't have been playing with a toy gun in the first place, but he was a young boy, and that is what boys have done since toy guns were invented. You might be saying that he should have just dropped it and put his hands up, but he was a kid. They aren't supposed to know how to deal with situations like this. We don't train them for this. We train the cops for this. And they

Failing to expand volume

Hey Guys,
I have some systems that are failing to expand the volume when doing a deploy. The reference system is built in a VM with a 10gb HDD, and it's being deployed to hardware with a 500gb Hard Drive. Once deployment is finished, the partitions are only 10gb.
Deploy log attached.

Have you upgraded to 1.3.3, it should fix this problem with xfs not expanding. Make sure you recreate your usb / iso boot after upgrading.

I'm on 1.3.0
Looking at the upgrade now.... Thanks for quick reply.
Still having to run "dracut --force --regenerate-all" in a recovery kernel by the way, to get it to boot properly after deployment (for SOME systems).

My Review
This book is such a cute story. Simon and Pepper get together and then don't see each other for a couple of months. Exciting things happen after meeting again.
I loved the business Simon had. He has a chain of pet stores but does not own a pet. But his life is about to change. Pepper bakery catches on fire, and then she comes to live with him. Things are changing for Simon.
I loved the dog in the story named Daisy. Pepper falls in love with Daisy. I enjoy books with pets in it.
I love the author's books. I think this one of my favorites. It was such an enjoyable story with the dog.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from Prism book tours. This book review is my own opinion.

Driven by the Sacred Heart mission, at age 82, Rose Quilter, RSCJ, continues to be a lifelong learner who seeks to serve as a conduit of empowerment for those on the margins as she listens to the voices of immigrant families living in Texas on the United States-Mexico border.
The groundwork
"It's been such an adventure," said Sister Quilter, reflecting on the journey that led her to the Rio Grande Valley and ARISE (A Resource in Serving Equality).
Duchesne House for Volunteers in New Orleans, Louisiana, a ministry of the Society of the Sacred Heart, United States – Canada Province, will close at the end of August 2019.
Duchesne House opened in 2007 as a response to the needs of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Religious of the Sacred Heart have staffed the Duchesne House since its foundation. Today, Bonnie Kearney, RSCJ; Sergio Vasquez (an Associate); and Maureen Chicoine, RSCJ, are its current staff.
Since 2010, community life director Clare Pratt, RSCJ, has been the backbone of the Oakwood Community in Atherton, California. Oakwood is one of the Society of the Sacred Heart's eldercare communities.
On March 1, Sister Pratt stepped down as community life director and Sally Rude, RSCJ, took the reins!
Betty Nakato, RSCJ, and Joan Gannon, RSCJ, were among those featured in a social media campaign celebrating the myriad ways women religious and their supporters stand up for social justice in our communities. The "Stand With Sisters" campaign ran during National Catholic Sisters Week (March 8-14) and continued throughout the remainder of the month.

As a member of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), the Society of the Sacred Heart echoes and affirms the statement released by LCWR on sexual abuse by Catholic sisters.

Dear Family of the Sacred Heart,
Fifteen years ago, under the direction of then provincial Sister Kathleen Hughes and her provincial team, another journey began with the call to Sister Shirley Miller to open our yet to be formed mission advancement office. Shirley, in her 35 years of experience in Sacred Heart schools, in teaching, administration and fundraising, has demonstrated over these many years her skill as an administrator, spokesperson and fundraiser.

New thrift shop supports rescue of exotic birds from neglect and abuse
Deep River — Allison Sloane hopes the proceeds from her new thrift shop will someday provide not only for the care of the 36 exotic rescue birds housed at the back of her flower shop, but also allow for a bird facility in Waterford where people with post-traumatic stress disorder and opioid use disorder can go for healing.
Even if you didn't know about this mission, visiting Ashleigh's Garden would still be an unusual experience.
Sloane opened the shop 25 years ago after her daughter, the store's namesake, was born. Flower-filled rainboots and cowboy boots hang from a door frame next to the entrance, while a large "A" is affixed above and flower pots hang in front.
Upon entering, you may be greeted by Sam, Winter and Humphrey — respectively two Akita dogs (certified therapy dogs who are quite large and fluffy) and a tortoise (who is speedier than you'd think).
An Eleanora cockatoo named Gracie is one of the only birds who can interact with customers, whereas "all the other birds are rescued from abuse and neglect and really bad situations and cannot be interacted with," manager Karen Wolff said. Another exception is Bic, an African grey parrot who "doesn't know she's a bird," Sloane said. "She thinks she's a dog."
Newer birds spend some time in the adjacent work room before entering the back two rooms with the other birds. Sloane has only had great-billed parrots Ross and Rachel, who are apparently mated, for a few weeks.
"They're on a break," Wolff joked.
Ashleigh's Garden has two full-time and three part-time staff members, and the irony is that Sloane prefers her hires don't have a floral background, since she is trained in European design and wants to train them herself.
But they must be good with animals.
Sloane said she's had 12 birds from crack houses, and a blue and gold macaw named Morgan was rescued the day of a scheduled euthanasia. When Olive arrived, she kept saying "bad bird" and "swore like a sailor," because that's what she heard and what she was taught.
"They're so used to being taught to do this, because people think it's funny teaching them swear words," Sloane said. Now, she said some of Olive's utterances are "What's up?" and "Aflac," and she likes to sing with Morgan when Sloane puts on a Disney movie during their breakfast.
These two birds are in one of two rooms at the back with other birds — Amazon parrot, African grey parrot, Cape parrot, severe macaw.
Upon walking into Ashleigh's Garden, you wouldn't realize there are 36 birds. But when Sloane opens one of the back doors, the room is filled with a chorus of differently pitched and differently timed squawks emanating from the cages.
In the next room, the number of Xs on a cage indicates whether a bird can be let out. "XXXX" means if a bird gets out, everyone has to leave the room, and Sloane comes in to handle the situation, since some birds bite.
"They don't bite because they're mean. They bite because they're scared," Sloane said.
She had just introduced one bird by lovingly saying, "That's Pepper. She's demonic." The Greek word for "demon" is the root of an English word used to refer to a wild uproar: pandemonium.
"Pandemonium" is also the term for a group of parrots. And it's what Sloane calls both her nonprofit that rescues birds and reptiles and the new thrift shop.
Thrift shop supports rainforest project
It's remarkable how many items the 10-room Pandemonium Thrift Shop, adjacent to Ashleigh's Garden, has acquired in just two months. The store opened in a room in Ashleigh's Garden but it "just blew up," Sloane said.
She was fortunate to have the encouragement of her landlords to expand next door.
One room includes racks of old books, children's books, and romance books by bestselling authors like Danielle Steel, Nora Roberts and Nicholas Sparks — along with a few chairs and ottomans.
"I just want people to feel like on a rainy, cold day, they can come in and sit and pick out a couple of books," Sloane said. There's also a room where visitors can grab a cup of coffee and pay 5 cents for a piece of candy. There's a glassware room, and rooms of clothing and shoes and hats, and a holiday room.
It's not consignment; all the items are donated and the shop is run by a half dozen volunteers, meaning 100 percent of the proceeds go to the Pandemonium Rainforest Project.
Sloane was inspired by all the charity thrift stores she saw traveling in England and Scotland. Plus, she said she's not the kind of person who is going to put on a gala to raise money.
Sloane said she is working with architects in Old Lyme and a landowner in Waterford for her vision of a facility that would house rescued animals, serve as an educational facility, and provide a place for people who are coming out opioid addiction, have PTSD or are incarcerated to volunteer. She said she won't sign for the land until she starts raising more funds.

Arbitrator could rule against us, and that ruling could be because of comments an employer made publicly that may have prejudiced a particular decision on a case and there are also privacy rights we need to respect. Said disciplinary cases are dealt with individually and factors such as an employee length of service, history and employment record go into any decision..
Have you ever noticed that there aren't any parents in Donald Duck cartoons and comics? Scrooge, for example, is Donald's uncle, who in turn is an uncle to Huey, Dewey, and Louie, a first cousin to Gladstone Gander and a boyfriend (but never husband) to Daisy, who herself has three nieces, April, May, and June (because fuck it, picking out baby names is hard). That means that the world these characters live in is essentially devoid of any real families and populated solely by orphans. Without parents and nepotism, each duck is left alone to constantly compete against the others for wealth and status.

Barrick Gold (GOLD - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $18.02, moving -1.42% from the previous trading session. This move lagged the S&P 500's daily gain of 1.5%. At the same time, the Dow added 1.44%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 2.1%.
Heading into today, shares of the gold and copper mining company had lost 0.6% over the past month, outpacing the Basic Materials sector's loss of 6.26% and lagging the S&P 500's gain of 0.54% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from GOLD as it approaches its next earnings report date. This is expected to be February 12, 2020. The company is expected to report EPS of $0.15, up 150% from the prior-year quarter. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $2.78 billion, up 46.04% from the year-ago period.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for GOLD. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.

This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. Mining - Gold stocks are, on average, holding a PEG ratio of 3.92 based on yesterday's closing prices.
The Mining - Gold industry is part of the Basic Materials sector. This industry currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 186, which puts it in the bottom 28% of all 250+ industries.

How Paleo and Ketogenic Lifestyles can Prevent Leaky Gut Syndrome
What prompted you to start Mark's Daily Apple?
Two main reasons: I wanted in on this cool new thing called blogging. I could tell having that direct line to readers was the wave of the future, whether you wanted to make money, promote your business, or build new ideas or communities.
I'd been in the health, fitness, and nutrition game for so long and seen so much erroneous information spewed out that I wanted to help correct the record. I figured I'd write every day for a year, and after that, I would have said all there was to say on the subject. That turned out to be a miscalculation.
You mention that you were working in health and nutrition before starting the blog — what exactly were you doing?
I was on the anti-doping commission for the sport of triathlon, did a lot of personal coaching and training, coached some triathlon teams, and in 1997 started a supplement company called Primal Nutrition.
Can you explain what leaky gut syndrome is, what the main symptoms are, and why people need to know about it?
Leaky gut syndrome is a funny story. For years, the health authorities called it a myth or woo-woo pseudoscience — something that only quacks and snake oil salesmen discussed.
But at the same time, researchers were studying something called intestinal permeability. Hundreds of papers have been published on the subject. And it turns out that intestinal permeability — a legitimate medical phenomenon well- accepted by the experts in the field — is a synonym for leaky gut.
The lining of our gut has gateways called tight junctions. The tight junctions are like doormen at a nightclub: they open up to permit desired compounds through, like nutrients and water, and bar toxins, antigens, and pathogens. In leaky gut, the tight junctions are allowing unwanted compounds entrance to the rest of the body.
More than "symptoms" there are conditions linked to leaky gut. They include obesity, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, food allergies and intolerances, asthma, autism, autoimmune diseases, depression (about 35% of patients with clinical depression have leaky gut) That's not to say that leaky gut causes these conditions, just that they often occur together.
How common do you think leaky gut is? Is it something everyone is susceptible to, or only people who have particular digestive issues?
Everyone is susceptible to leaky gut because it's a physiological (normal) aspect of gut function that can become pathological.
What's the best way to diagnose things like leaky gut and diet-induced autoimmunity issues? Can people go off of symptoms like diarrhea and constipation, or should they be getting lab tests?
For a true medical diagnosis of leaky gut, there's the intestinal permeability test. You drink a solution containing a pre-measured amount of mannitol and lactulose, two indigestible sugars. You collect your urine over the next 6 hours and measure the amount of excreted mannitol and lactulose to determine how much permeated through your gut.
Diarrhea and constipation can be good signals, too, but beware of reading too much into short term symptoms. We're all a little leaky sometimes. Lots of things can transiently increase intestinal permeability, like hard exercise. It's when the diarrhea isn't letting up, or you consistently get rashes and constipation after you eat a particular food that you have a good signal that something is wrong with your gut health.
Why does hard exercise temporarily increase intestinal permeability? Do you view it as a negative side effect of exercise, or is it actually an adaptive response to help us take up more nutrients post-workout?
It's just "one of those things." A good way to think of exercise is as a very powerful stressor. You're essentially doing trauma to your entire body with the hope that you'll be able to recover better-adapted to the trauma than before. Increased permeability is just a consequence of the full-body trauma.
John's note: It sounds like the increase in intestinal permeability post-exercise is probably a side effect of the rise in inflammation that occurs after a hard workout. Unfortunately, that inflammation is part of the anabolic signaling that makes your body get stronger after exercise. In other words, you need it to happen.
Is the medical test for leaky gut usually covered by insurance? What's the best way to raise the subject with one's doctor?
Most conventional docs aren't thinking about intestinal permeability as a cause of disease at all. The test is generally used in research settings rather than clinical. I've never heard of anyone getting their Kaiser doc to order one.
Alternative/functional medicine docs are more likely to order it, but that's less likely to be covered by insurance.
I've seen a lot of mixed evidence around the supposed dangers of gluten, with some research showing wheat is safe, some suggesting it's dangerous, and some suggesting that gluten isn't an issue for most people, but that other chemicals in grain (like FODMAPs and physic acids) are. What's your take on this?
Gluten increases expression of zonulin, a compound that makes the gut more permeable or "leaky." This happens in everyone, though the zonulin response is exaggerated in people with celiac disease.
However, not everyone experiences overt symptoms of leaky gut after eating gluten. Some people can clearly tolerate it just fine. If you insist on eating gluten on a regular basis, you're probably better off with a fermented form, like sourdough.
Speaking of FODMAP's, they're present in high qualities in a lot of foods that are considered paleo, like artichokes, cashews, and pears. Should people be cutting back on "paleo" foods that are high in FODMAPs?
Only if they have FODMAP intolerance. Symptoms include horrible gas, stomach pain, constipation and/or diarrhea.
Ironically, the foods that you eliminate on a FODMAP program in addressing a gut dysbiosis are some of the same foods that can feed the "good bugs" when you have a healthy gut. Some foods that are beneficial in some instances can be problematic under other circumstances. No right answer here — just choices.
Are there any dietary supplements, over-the-counter drugs, or non-dietary lifestyle changes that help prevent or heal gut inflammation and leaky gut?
Stress and sleep deprivation are major stressors for the gut. Stress reduction and getting enough sleep are gut health fundamentals that most people don't even consider.
Since intestinal permeability is a normal part of human gut function, is there a condition that's the opposite of leaky gut — one where intestinal permeability is too low? If so, what are the symptoms and how would you diagnose it?
I've never come across or heard of it.
I've heard of people taking collagen supplements for their joints and skin before, but not for gut health. How does collagen help the gut?
Part of gut health is supporting and rebuilding the structural tissue the gut is made of. Most of that is collagen, and dietary or supplementary collagen provides the raw building blocks needed to make necessary repairs.
How do seed oils damage the gut lining?
It's not that seed oils directly damage the gut lining — although that's a distinct possibility, I haven't seen any clinical evidence that it happens. The problem with seed oil consumption is that it creates an overall inflammatory environment in the body. You need a solid foundation of health to maintain gut health, and the constant drip-drip-drip of inflammation makes it hard to erect that foundation.
Leaky gut is highly correlated with inflammation. Would anti-inflammatories help to treat it? Do you think leaky gut causes inflammation, inflammation causes leaky gut, both, or neither?
Some anti-inflammatories, like aspirin and ibuprofen, can actually cause leaky gut.
Leaky gut is more likely to be a proximate cause of inflammation, but an inflammatory environment makes it harder for the body to support and maintain the integrity of the gut. More resources devoted to dealing with inflammation, fewer available to maintain gut health.
After cutting out grains, which carbohydrates do you primarily replace the with?
Fruit, winter squash, and starchy tubers like potatoes or sweet potatoes. I'm generally low carb myself, but those are healthy sources of carbohydrate.
John's note: Cutting back on carbs is generally a good idea for most people, particularly those looking to lose weight. Your carbohydrate intake should depend on a few factors, including how active you are, how lean and muscular you are, and a few genes that regulate how the body processes carbohydrates and fats. More detail here.
What about legumes–most paleo experts recommend avoiding them because of the lectin content. Do you agree or think this is an exaggerated concern?
It's exaggerated (and I got this wrong back in the day, too). The vast majority of legume lectins are degraded with sufficient heating.
John's note: You can also remove most of the legumes from beans and lentils by soaking them in water. Just put your cooked legumes into a colander and run some cool water over them for a minute or two. Lectins are the chemical that causes beans to give people gas; if beans don't make you gassy, they're probably not causing any significant damage to your gut either.
For people looking to prevent gut inflammation and autoimmunity, which foods would you recommend completely avoiding, and which foods would you recommend eating less of, but not necessarily cutting out?
Avoid: Seed oils (corn, canola, soybean, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower), gluten-containing grains (wheat, barley, rye).
Reduce: Grains in general, sugar.
What do you personally do to avoid gut issues?
I drink bone broth and use collagen supplements.
I avoid grains and high omega-6 seed oils.
I'm very selective about my alcohol intake. A few years back, I gave up alcohol entirely for a few months and it fixed my lingering gut issues. These days, I pretty much only drink lower-alcohol (12%-ish) natural wines.
I get plenty of sun. Low levels of vitamin D (which we make in response to UVB) have been implicated in leaky gut. John's note: Most people don't get nearly as much sun as Mark does, and should take a vitamin D supplement.
I'm religious about my sleep. John's note: if this is an issue for you, read my guide on sleep.
I'm working on my stress. Meditation doesn't really work for me, but standup paddling is a kind of meditative practice that really calms my mind. I try to paddleboard as much as possible.

|RTF – is a standard format intended for the exchange of text data. Created in 1982 with the participation of experts from Adobe and Microsoft, so it is supported by most of the software solutions of the latter. It is integrated in Windows with version 2.0, allowing to exchange between applicable annexes. The format provides the ability to create a document in one OS and transfer to another OS, while it is not designed to work with images and other objects. The user can print text in Word, saving it with a .rtf extension, and export it to a recipient using WordPerfect 6.0, regardless of the version of Windows. RTF files can be opened in any modern editor capable of formatting text documents. The format allows you to save the selection settings for text fragments, color solutions for the design of symbols, underlined text and much more.
|Technical details
|The specification of this format applies standards of ANSI, PC-8 symbols display, and some others. It sets control words and symbols that act as a command in the formatting process. If an extended text document is saved, the writer RTF processes it, and adapts the symbols of the word processor to the Rich Text Format language. During the reading process, the RTF reader formats the defining symbols, transforming the RTF language into the formatting of the text editor that the document is to visualize.

|GIF – is one of the most popular formats on the World Wide Web, allowing you to share images. It supports various animations, including its transparent views. Such files are used for the development of web advertising with sequentially changing pictures, as well as the graphics shell of video files. They use scan-line images with the depth parameters up to 256 shades of the RGB palette. The process of compressing files in GIF does not affect the quality in any way, as there is no loss. Due to this, it is possible to convert to other formats while preserving the original image properties. The extension is opened by many applications for viewing and processing images and video content installed on PCs and mobile devices regardless of OS.
|Technical details
|The format was developed by Compuserve specialists specially for its use in the web environment, which provided wide public access to data on such files. The extension uses the LZW algorithm that allows to carry out a process, in parallel with the removal of segments containing insufficient information. This ensures the preservation of high quality pictures. Thanks to the Lempel-Ziv-Welch algorithm, the format handles graphic files with repeating sections well, in particular, images with a large number of single-color pixels horizontally. Interlaced data storage is also possible. Scan-line data is compressed to the smallest size. Reducing the number of colors required to create an image is provided by removing shades unnecessary to perform this process. The range of available GIF colors is from 2 (black and white) to 256, while reducing the number of colors leads to a decrease in the file size.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP)– A new study finds that the opioid crisis cost the U.S. economy $631 billion over the past four years.
The Society of Actuaries released its report on Tuesday. It found the highest cost was in lost earnings for those who died in the crisis. Next was health care, a cost borne largely by Medicaid and Medicare.
The society's tally was higher than a cost estimate contained in a 2016 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, but lower than one from the White House Council of Economic Advisers in 2017.
The report was released less than a week before the first federal trial on the opioid crisis is scheduled to begin.

Under the Stethoscope: Red Cross symbolizes hope
When any disaster strikes, the Red Cross logo stands as a universal symbol of hope. Having worked with the American Red Cross for more than 15 years, I have seen firsthand how people's faces light up when they see a Red Cross vehicle pull up amid the chaos and destruction of a natural disaster or home emergency. March is Red Cross Month, and there's no better time to shine a spotlight on this amazing organization, our local chapter, and the everyday heroes who help those in need in our community.
The Red Cross responds to 70,000 disasters in the U.S. every year, providing food, shelter and health services to help families and communities rebuild. Internationally, the American Red Cross is part of the world's largest humanitarian network and is active in 187 countries. Red Cross blood donations provide more than 40 percent of the nation's blood supply, making it the single largest supplier of blood products in the U.S. And I'm sure nearly all of us have taken at least one of their health and safety courses to get trained in CPR, first aid or lifeguard training. What is truly astounding is that the American Red Cross accomplishes all of these feats with a workforce made up of 90 percent volunteers and financial backing that comes solely from individual and corporate donors.
While we often see news footage of the Red Cross helping in national and international disasters, our local Nashville chapter has been very active in providing health, safety and disaster services for those living in Middle Tennessee. In 2010, when this area was struck by severe flooding, the Red Cross opened 37 shelters and served more than 350,000 meals. Just last year alone, nearly 1,300 volunteers logged close to 13,000 man-hours. These generous individuals responded to 177 local disasters and helped 243 families rebuild their lives. A majority of these local disasters are home fires, which kill an average of seven people a day. Our chapter is joining the national Home Fire Preparedness Campaign, which aims to reduce deaths and injuries caused by home fires. Volunteers will replace or install smoke alarms free of charge to any home in the area.
If all this talk about home fires made you think about how prepared you and your home are for a disaster, don't worry, the Red Cross has you covered. There's a new American Red Cross Emergency app that gives you access to local weather alerts, safety tips and information on how to prepare for an emergency. There's even a feature that allows you to check on loved ones who are in an area currently being affected by an emergency. Honestly, I can't imagine why you wouldn't download this app.
During the month of March do something good for your health by joining the American Red Cross in serving the greater Nashville community. A study published in the journal BMC Public Health revealed that people who spend their time volunteering had a 20 percent lower risk of death and lower stress levels than those who did not volunteer. Here are some ways you can help:
- Create an emergency preparedness plan for your household.
- Test your smoke detectors and remind your neighbors to do the same. If you don't have smoke detectors, call (615) 250-4300 for more information.
- Take a CPR, first aid, lifeguard or babysitting course.
- Donate blood by scheduling an appointment here.
- Become a Red Cross volunteer. You can register online or call Sherry Ricketts at the Nashville office at (615) 250-4293.
Now get out there and spread some hope by becoming an everyday hero in our community!
