get strong through the peer-on-peer, through the meetings, through the groups, through the interaction. we-we pretty much do everything together. one thing that helps me maintain my recovery is working at chase. it keeps me fresh. i see the guys, their struggles, and it reminds me of me, many, many years ago. peer-to-peer recovery service, i think, is really the only way that things can work for a person who doesn't have any knowledge about what it's like to deal with day-to-day stresses without some type of drug or-or alcohol. when you have others that have experienced some of the challenges and have made it through without pickin' up, you have a chance to talk to somebody about it before you make a decision one way or the other about how to handle the situation. yeah, if you look back over and ask the guys "where you got most of your help," they will say somebody, maybe a counselor or a director, gave him an idea or pushed him in the direction. but when you ask them about "well, where did your real support come from?" it comes from the network that they're building a program like thi

we're peer-to-peer support. we don't have professionals online to be able to diagnosis or treat any particular type of situation. it's all about, i'm like you, and we can help each other best. so in that regard, i think that the model itself works very well, very well. because it's all about the desire from the individual. let's talk about the whole criminal justice issue. about 19% of those in federal prisons and 30% of those in local jails are homeless. what, what is that dynamic about, and what, what are we doing to really help those individuals that have been intercepted? and i'm sure that they probably pick them up if they're having an addiction problem, someone calls up and says, i think somebody has died, or they look like they're dead, and either they end up in the emergency room, and from there they may take them away. is that correct? that's right. and actually, we've been working on this quite a bit over the past couple of years. we have an initiative called the returning home initiative, in which we'

the biggest supports that our organization does, connecticut turning to youth and families, we do peer-to-peer support, you know, and we do from a lived experience perspective. so my family can support another family on how we accessed the system and how we kind of talked to same of how to access state benefits and a young person in recovery knows how to fill out the form down at the social service office to get you on services to access, you know, a bed, you know, there's also that in between. a lot of those things take weeks sometimes. and, you know, what do you do in between? if there's a critical time and there's a lot community-based peer support out there, you know, mutual support groups or, you know, online stuff where people can connect with people and live recovery experience so that way they at least have some social support, you know, if they're in need of treatment. and then there's also a lot of young people who may not need, you know, residential treatment and they might be better suited to stay at home or to be in the community and just, you know, work on the recovery from that

san francisco pier court is a city funded peer to peer restorative justice program that provides leadershipand restorers -- a sort of opportunities to actions in the community rather than advancing through the justice system. restorative justice also gives a strong role to the community in promoting offender accountability and community safety rather than a more punitive approach focused on punishment and deterrence. in the past two years, the board has participated in national youth court month by recognizing the youth that volunteer with the san francisco peer court. today, supervisor mar and i have invited the 23 young men and women who are serving this year to be honored. supervisor mar, do you have anything to add? supervisor mar: i was going to say, the 23 of you and the many hundreds of others that have come through the program are really true community-based example of restorative justice but also youth empowerment and you are the leaders of tomorrow and today. thank you so much for your great work over the years and to tony, as well. >> we could call up tony who is the program dire

networking web sites, like myspace and facebook, and find innovative strategies that are probably peer in my opinion, to exploit the particular strength of that environment. that said, the web is not dead and email is not dead. so i really think that paying attention, close attention, to the audience and making the investment to understand where they are is key. one way to think about all these technologies is to put away the technology and say what the patient experiences. and if there are some technologies that provide information, and there are other technologies that allow the patient to have peer support, and there is a third set of technologies that allow counseling to occur. so these are three different ways of organizing things, and you can go on different sites and have information, peer support, or counseling. and those will have different implications of what works and what impact it will have. cynthia and i were just talking before the taping. this disease being an equal opportunity killer will present itself anytime, any place, anywhere. and we were just talking about our

i believe the most important support services that we have here is peer to peer, where the new individuals that come into the center feel more comfortable when they know that they're talking to someone who's been through the same things that they've been through. it's nice to know that somebody else has been through what you went through. there's a little bit of comfort knowing that somebody can understand exactly the way i felt. the benefit of helping someone else cannot be overstated to the person giving the help and the person receiving the help. you get a feeling as if you'u're in a partnership and the two of you are doing something together. you both grow from it, and you both become better for it, and that feeling of hope continues to-to grow. i couldn't keep my mind straight. i'm thinking, you know, i need a doctor, i don't know what i'm doing. but it was the whole coming off of substances and then learning how... we also have many facilitated programs, which are life skills and helping people really skill-build kinds of services, not only gather information but also to really try o

to peer networks and it's pretty obvious to me why that's happening because the direction that wiki leaks is going right now is is basically it's moving off of sort of large servers and it's what you're going to see is a peer to peer network version of wiki leaks and so you know the government will attempt to to crack down on on on. operations hacktivist operations but you know the hacktivist outnumber the the number of people that the government can throw at the problem so i think in the long run i think it's very difficult to get on top of the hacktivists here right so i guess it seems like they're in their spirit is still alive as lawyers think despite the fact that wiki leaks might vanish still always be here thanks so much for joining us sure enough thanks for having me. are coming up on tonight's show we're going to have a little fun with work he's a journalist who took on the outrageous protests by the westboro baptist church and he's here to tell us about how he pokes fun at the very serious religious groups will back him up. just. the whole of the. more. secure. the future.

peer to peer communications, again, government often has difficulty accessing those communications. and what happens is, and this goes to the issue of costs as well, the government is often railroaded to go in, help the technology provider actually build in the post facto intercept capabilities to try to then pullout the information about communications. two other things i would say, though, ray. one is the fact that this is in some ways a prospective proposeal that is to say i think government is anticipating that there will continue to be innovation at a speed with which with the government can't keep up. and so the idea here is to, as in 1994, put the onus on the private sector to build in the capabilitys to actually intercept in a way that maps what was done in 1994. but doesn't infringe on technological own vacation or on privacy. there are serious issues here though, no doubt there are good questions that need to be asked. some of these technologys were not built with this in mind. certainly people engage there skype communications, for example, assume that they are not being

to peer messaging like skype to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order so if a service can encrypt messages they also have to have a way of unscrambling them if they allow peer to peer communication they have to redesign their entire service to allow interception now essentially this means of the government wants to have the ability to know everything you say and do it at all times if they deem necessary but of course they're only talking about lawfully authorized intercepts that's what officials claim but looking back on the past ten years that doesn't make me feel whole lot better under the guise of national security this government seems to think that they can lawfully intercept everything because that's going to stop terrorism but you know what it hasn't been stopped yet can we still stop the government well joining me here to discuss it is julian sanchez a journalist and research fellow at the cato institute joined thanks so much for being here thanks for having me you know one thing that really bothers me about this i have to mention to you is that th

that were immediately put on hold, not to mention a whole other set of grants that were ready for peer review that we had to stick on the shelf because we felt that the judge's order prevented us from acting on them. fortunately and to our great relief, although temporary relief it apparently is, the stay on that particular injunction last week allowed us to catch up and to go back to doing what we had been doing along, and we are working vigorously to be sure that we are doing the right thing here in terms of supporting the research that we always had intended to. but there is this cloud of uncertainty that hangs over the situation because of not a clear path forward. and i think as you will hear from others at this hearing, that is creating great anxiety, particularly among other young scientists, who wonder, do i have a career path here or is this something i better not get involved in because it's too uncertain? so the impact so far has been quite significant and is uncertain going forward. we are, as i tried to show in the graph in the opening statement, spending in the neighborho
