i started smoking at the age of 17. i smoked for 23 years. at the peak of my addiction i was up to two pack as day. at the age of 40 i was diagnosed with larynx cancer and now i have a hole in my neck. i've had cancer 11 times. seven since my larynx surgery. in 2001. you know, you think this only happens to other people. well, i'm the other people. when i was growing up, there was no tobacco education in north carolina, a tobacco state. what the cdc is doing today through this campaign is moving us into a positive direction. i'm grateful for the opportunity to share my story. hopefully to help keep others from making the choice that has so impacted my health and my life. thank you.

also nearly 1 in 3 young adults between the ages of 18 and 26 smoke. and this is the higher rate than any other age group, so this is a serious public health issue. one of the most serious findings in this report is about nicotine addiction and the younger they begin smoking the more likely they are to become addicted. every year 1.4 million youth under the age of 18 try their first cigarette. and many of them end up being lifelong smokers. cigarettes are designed for addiction. and nicotine is the key chemical compound that causes a powerful affect with cigarettes. added ingredients and design features make them more addictive than ever of before. many ingredients like sugar and moisture enhancements, when they are added they remove the harshness and improve the taste. chemical ingredients such as pneumonia convert nicotine called free nicotine that crosses little the blood/brain barrier. all these design features work together to enhance the addictive kick and the pleasure that smokers feel. and adolescentses a bodies are more sensitive to nicotine an

but as we see in the medical records, the age jumps around. there was no pension or application found in connection with the three enlistments. the thing to note there is that the original pension applications went through the state courts. there could have been a pension application that was kicked out through the state courts and never made it. that's possible. the other possibility is that pensions were given only on a need basis and any survivors of robert williams could have been in good financial state and not needed the money. of course, this is presented as a theory with evidence and is not meant to declare the identity of the man whose remains were found in the turret. and i and my project supervisors do not claim to be medical experts. and the last -- just so that we don't leave on a sad note here, clark rowe applied for a pension for his "uss monitor" service. he said that he enlisted on march of 1863 and was discharged in march of 1865. now, if you're going to commit a federal crime, i will advise that you go to the library first. h

the city. this breaks down race and ethnicity by age group. the bar is miners, the dark one on the right would be seniors. whites tend to be an old population. african americans are younger. asian/pacific islanders have the largest groups across the board but they also have a large number of seniors. latinos are very young, 14% of the population. 22 % of the children in the city. this shows between 1990, and this is another analysis that we did using the american communities survey from 2006 to 2008. you see the huge loss of african-american children. you see a huge number of african-americans. we have to point out, in 1990, you weren't able to put multiple choice. part of this, there is a huge loss of african-americans. we wanted to know where they went. other cities have had large losses of african-americans. oakland dropped between 1990 and 2008. richmond from 43 to 27. you look at where they went, and you see the suburbs between san francisco and sacramento is where many of the african- americans left during that time. for example, the numb

this shows the age migration and san francisco between 1990 and 2010. it confirms some of the things discussed earlier. on the left is lost, on the right is gain. a slight loss for kids under five, right? but that it really accelerates when they reach school age. we have a lot of families that have children, how they move when their kids are school age. we point out a couple of other things, a huge increase. we have a lot of young adults without dependants live for five years or whatever. and we have had a huge increase, over the age of the 45 that are at the maximum level of and come that maybe are not raising children at that point. i also want to point out the seniors there. people migrated out. you also see the huge number of very old seniors, it was a question earlier about seniors in the city. we have more seniors than any other community. it is about 16% or 17%. seniors you're very different. here there are very much influenced by immigration. they are much poorer and likely to be over the age of 80 and 75. they are less educated. 20% don't have a

dickens writes of "the age of wisdom," so it is appropriate to talk now about the knowledge district, a true asset for our great state. there are only seven ivy league medical schools in the world, and we have one of them, in a newly renovated and beautiful building in the knowledge district. nearby are the hospitals of lifespan and care new england. last year, i traveled to pittsburgh with diverse rhode island leaders from the public and private sectors -- representatives of government, business, labor, academia, and healthcare. our purpose was to get a first- hand look at the "meds and eds" -- the job-creating medical, research, and educational fields that have played a large role in the economic revitalization of pittsburgh. it was the third of my series of visits to cities that have successfully capitalized on these high-growth industries. from the 62nd story of the university of pittsburgh medical center building, we saw an old industrial city renewed. the transformation was on full display -- bustling hospitals, world-class universities, and a thriving health care workforce. as

now our biggest, biggest problem, big in every sense of the word, is obesity at all ages. i see parents using food as rewards all the time, and generally it's food of low nutrient density. it's like candies, cookies, lollipops, the usual sorts of things. tyler was sort of nice... and she's saying please... and basically when you use a food as reward, you're holding up that food as something special. when you think about it, it doesn't quite make sense. it's like, "you're a good boy, here's a lollipop that will cause you to have tooth decay, and has almost nothing in it for your health and well-being." how much sense does that make? that's a big problem that we have, in particular, in overweight children, where grandma's way of rewarding you is a trip to the local fast food chain. i won't impugn any one chain, they're all there-- you know, and fries and a burger are the way to your heart. we have to change that myth. fries and a burger should not be the way to your heart. it's the way to atherosclerosis. david faxon: in a recent study on autopsies of children and young adult

firearm injuries for black males between the ages of 13-19. the red stripe is for hispanic males of the the same age group the white stripe for white males of the same group between the years of 2001 and 2010. what is alarming about this in addition to the gross despairties is also the fact that it's not evident necessarily from this picture, but these rates have remained stable over the last decade. many of us have celebrated reduced crime rates, but this is an area in which we have not seen a reduction. i can talk more about this at a different time. we have resources available for you. but we moved along and considered what the firearm injuries mean in terms of costs not just to these kids, but to their families and societies as a whole and we've used as a benchmark measure, the entire federal budget spent on the offices of juvenile justice, the sole arm mandated for r guiding the states and providing funding for prevention and for some minimal standards and productions and what we came to realize is we spend more on hospital bills for adole

it was the age of wisdom, the age of foolishness. it was the epoch of belief.t was the epic of in credulity. it was the season of light. the season of darkness. it was the spring of hope. it was the winter of despair. we get everything before us. we had nothing before us. we were all going direct to heaven. we were all going direct the other way. does that sound like the current political discourse? [laughter] does that resonate with your feelings? does that describe your consensus of someone you know? how does one navigate the uncertain valley that lays between the best of times, and the worst of times? is it possible for this season of lights to shine into this season of darkness? there's a compass which can guide us from the winter of despair, and that is called hope. help. -- hope is putting faith to work when doubting would be easier. we can all be thankful for hope. people like martin luther king jr, told as darkness cannot drive of darkness. only light to that. the haight cannot drive out hate. only love can do that. perhaps it is only coincidental, but

not just by their parents but other people around them of the same age. you know, there was a statistic in the early 2000s, in 2001, 2002, that even though 20 to 25 percent of young adults will suffer from a mental disorder in a given year, up to two thirds of those kids won't seek help. and a lot of that is because of that stigma and the fact that kids don't know if other kids are going through these topics or issues because there's no discussion. and that is what i try and promote when i go to speak at these schools. not just to talk to each other inside the school but inside the entire community of all ages and to implement programs, whether it is peer mediation between the students or whether it is different activity nights for all ages to again continue the dialogue of mental health. jane, we've talked about screening and brief interventions. talk to us about what the institute does at cadca and how it offers community an opportunity to really get engaged. well, i will try to be brief, ivette, because as you know that is my favorite topic. what we do
