Underage drinking and sexual assaults
Issue June 2011 By Richard P. Campbell
Return Print This Article Download This Issue
The horrific consequences of underage drinking are not limited to the fatal ones featured in my Viewpoint column in the May issue of Lawyers Journal. Another life-altering consequence is an increased risk for sexual assault.
Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. addressed students and faculty at the University of New Hampshire on April 4, 2011. The subject matter of his speech was the prevalence of alcohol-fueled date rape. The same topic was reported in The New York Times on April 8 ("At Yale, Sharper Look at Treatment of Women"). In a letter to the editor of The New York Times published on April 12, 2011, Joseph Califano, a former secretary of Health, Education and Welfare and founder and chairman of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, attributed the mistreatment of women to excessive drinking by college students.
Secretary Califano offered the view that fundamental change in alcohol abuse is a preliminary step in protecting female students and eliminating the culture of misogyny. According to data assembled by his Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, alcohol abuse on college campuses results in 100,000 sexual assaults of women, 700,000 injuries, and 2,000 deaths every year. In its news investigation "Seeking Justice For Campus Rapes," National Public Radio described current conditions on college campuses as an "epidemic of sexual assault" where "one of [every] 5 women will be sexually assaulted during her college years."1
The majority of campus sexual assaults occur when women are incapacitated, primarily by alcohol.2 "[T]he vast majority of incapacitated sexual assault victims (89%) reported drinking alcohol, and being drunk (82%), prior to their victimization."3 Venue counts. "A surprisingly large number of respondents reported that they were at a party when the incident happened, with a significantly larger proportion of incapacitated sexual assault victims reporting this setting (58% compared to 28%). The majority of sexual assault victims of both types reported that the incident happened off campus (61% of incapacitated sexual assault victims and 63% of physically forced sexual assault victims)."4
In college years, fraternity houses and off-campus apartments are the sites of choice. Outside of college campuses, private homes are the preferred venues for underage drinking parties, offering up multiple rooms for binge drinking, drug use, and hooking up. The data are telling. Some 60 percent of female victims were first raped before age 18. And 20 to 25 percent of female college students experience completed or attempted rape.
Sadly, alcohol abuse and sexual misbehavior begins among underage drinkers long before college years.5 "This problem is not limited to college. During the 2007-2008 school year, there were 800 reported incidents of rape and attempted rape and 3,800 reported incidents of other sexual batteries at public high schools."6 One affluent community situated just west of Route 128 reported in its Youth at Risk Survey that 13 percent of its high school students had been "physically hurt by a date," 7 percent had been "forced to have sexual intercourse by a date," and 10 percent had been "forced to do other sexual things."
Alcohol consumption by the victim is a major risk factor for sexual assault. The 2007 federally funded Campus Sexual Assault (CSA) Study reported that "early age of onset of drinking and frequency of alcohol consumption" is directly tied to "greater risk of incapacitated sexual assault and penetration." In plain language, the earlier girls start drinking and the more frequently they do so, the more likely it is that they will be victims of sexual assault.
Part of the problem reposes in parents who provide venues for underage drinking parties and dismiss law enforcement as misguided. But part of the problem rests as well with society as a whole. We have to connect the dots between date rape, underage drinking, and use of private homes as the venue of choice. Our kids are at stake.

I am so sorry to hear of "Sonny's" passing. I fondly remember our visits as children and how he was such a warm and friendly man who always had a smile on his face. It has been many years since I have seen him, but last time he was in our area I had the good fortune to have a family dinner with him and he met my husband and children. My deepest condolences to your family at this time.


Carrie Underwood recently celebrated her son Isaiah's first birthday, and the first-time mom says that more children are definitely in her future.
In an interview with People, the "Heartbeat" singer was asked where she sees herself in five years, and the 32-year-old admits she hopes to give baby Isaiah a sibling in the not too distant future.
"I definitely see one more baby. At least," she tells the magazine. "Oh, Isaiah will be in kindergarten. Mike will most likely be retired by then. He'll be 40! He's like the second-oldest on the team already."
"We'll be living out here in the country," the singer predicts. "We have land that's five minutes away that we're going to build on. Career-wise, I have no idea. There are so many factors."
Underwood says that she and husband Mike Fisher plan on their current Tennessee home to be their "forever home."
"I have ideas of having a garden, being outside a lot, even when I'm old," she explains. "My best friend ... is going to live next to us. So we'll just be crazy old ladies together."
Underwood gave Isaiah a fish-style birthday party on Feb. 27, with an aquatic birthday cake, which the star posted photos on social media afterward. She shared the big birthday plans for her son with ET at the Grammys, admitting she wasn't even sure what she wanted to buy him for a gift.

Certifications according to ISO standards (9001/3834-2/1090-2) and ASME U, U2, S stamps, National Board NB, R Stamps as well as TR-CU-032 Certifications cover all operations.
Responsibility for the implementation of the Quality Policy falls on all departments within the company's organization. This approach promotes the concept of a company-wide quality culture, essential for achieving final product quality.
Project quality is controlled through a mandatory, job-specific Quality Assurance / Quality Control Plan issued by EKME's Quality Management Department and applied to all stages of production process. Through extensive knowledge of the codes' requirements and attention to client's demands, all quality control activities and acceptance criteria are clearly defined and scheduled.
EKME's Quality Management Department overviews these activities, directs and controls our specialized subcontractor in the execution of the quality tests and then interprets the results. Final acceptance of the test reports falls under EKME's responsibility.
Furthermore, the client has always the option of appointing a third party inspection agency to ensure compliance to the applicable codes and standards. EKME can easily accommodate such an arrangement by incorporating third party inspection (T.P.I.) in the QA/QC plan and providing full access to inspectors during production and testing.
Application of ''NB'' mark and registration of boilers, pressure vessels or other pressure retaining items with National Board.
Use of ''R'' symbol in accordance with National Board and NB-415 Inspection Code provisions and accreditation of ''R'' repair organizations.
Product compliance with technical regulations of customs Union of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan (Pressure Vessels/Reactors/Columns, Heat Exchangers, Filters/Separators).
ASNT and/or EN/PCN Level II certifications of EKME's personnel.


. . . as I listened to these women laugh about potty-training antics, complain about sleepless nights, and compare notes on breast feeding, I was preparing for my next specialist appointment. I was due for another round of injections and an hour-and-a-half drive for a new batch of testing.
My miscarriages matter, but God's goodness still reigns. And how do those things coincide? That's really where I set out to understand – how is it that I feel like a walking coffin now but God is still perfect in His goodness. How do those two things work out? And that's really what I had to figure out in my own heart.
remains held in your hands.


Comotion has a unique business model which ensures that clients always receive a team with the precise skill-set they require for their project.
We are a small core team with a huge network of skilled associates that we use to put together bespoke teams for client projects. The range of skills represented within our associate community is massively varied, including on the creative side; innovation specialists, brand strategists, service designers, user researchers (UX) and customer experience (CX) experts and on the digital side; digital process consultants, project managers, change managers, software engineers, digital strategists and IT transformation experts. We never need to hire from an agency as we have created our own 'cogency'.
Our associates are all strong, tested, known to us and of the highest calibre in their field. We have over 800 associates, in a huge range of roles and every one of them has worked with one of the core team previously, or has been recommended by another associate. We are in regular contact with our associates, whether they are on a project for us or not. We have a dedicated Resourcing Manager who as well as keeping regular phone contact with the network, holds bi-weekly breakfast meetings and a number of evening events to keep the connections fresh. Because of our careful nurturing of these relationships, our associates will quite often take a lower rate to work for us because they know us, and love working with us. Once an associate is working on one of our projects we check in with them regularly through meetings, drinks and dinner to support them and keep up to date with project developments.

So, for 2010 I've been able to come up with one word that I want to define this year, my "action word"/mantra if you will.
2009 helped me figure out what I want & need. 2010 is about making it happen. Besides, I'm really done with the emotional roller coaster of 2009. I have learned much in this past year, even from the difficult moments. But I'm ready to move forward & to put what I've learned to work.
I've learned that to make things happen I need to focus on the steps rather than the end product. I need to do the little things that would result in the big thing. I need to stop freaking myself out with the enormity of a project or task & instead just look at the smaller steps/pieces that would get me there. Yes, taking one step at a time might result in completion taking longer, but honestly, I have a better chance of completing things. Every day, I need to take some kind of action, some kind of movement on the things I care about, the things I want to do in my life whether it be finishing this novel, doing more freelance work, or getting a full-time job that I like and that gives me financial security and stability. If I do just one thing every day, I'll be one step closer to these things becoming a reality. Movement creates. Procrastination, fear, & inaction create stagnation.
So, I need to move every day. That's the goal for 2010. MOVEMENT.
In lieu of New Year's resolutions, I've decided to instead focus on 4 words that I want to be able to use to define my life at the end of 2009. The idea comes from Carrie McCarty & Danielle LaPorte who wrote this great book, Style Statement: Live by Your Own Design. I picked it up at the end of the summer as a part of my quest to do some self-reflection & just some basic figuring out. Anyways, life got in the way & I really wasn't in the mood to be too self-reflective, until last week when I picked the book back up & started going through it.
At least Christmas is over. Got through it by ignoring it. I slept through Christmas Eve as I slept off the morphine. Christmas Day managed to be a non-event as I didn't feel like going anywhere. My brother & I just stayed home watched movies & avoided the day. Worked out well. We agreed that next year we'll make an effort, but this year it just wasn't going to happen. The knee just made it easier to do that & get away with it.
Went to my writing group this morning. Nice to get out & to catch up. Not so much writing. I know, I know. I need to write. I need to get on it, but apparently I'm a master of avoidance. A theme these days I suppose.

God, I see the poor on the street begging. Everyday, I pass by the man who squats in the corner with out forearms, holding a cup with his elbows asking for money. In the evenings as I walk the streets I see the woman sitting on the dirty street with her toddler son in her lap. He's not a normal kid with joy and energy, he lays there lifeless, sad, bored. What kind of life is that God? What am I supposed to do with that? I hate to just walk by, but what do I do? To the man with no arms, I want to give him food but I think, how would he eat it? What is easiest for him to eat? Those questions alone inhibit me from responding, thus far.
God where is the justice in that. Why was I born where I was and they are born there. I grew up with opportunity, family, love, hope. That toddler only knows the street, his mother's lap, and the sounds of thousands of footsteps walking past him everyday. What kind of life is that? Where is Your justice God? Oh, how I weep for the broken, for the hopeless, how I desperately wish they knew You. Knew Your love, peace, joy, and hope that flows so endlessly and freely from Your throne. God use me. Let me be Your hands and feet to them. Teach me how to respond, teach me to hear Your voice, over that voice that fears man saying, 'what would people think'.
Why was I given so much more? Let me not be selfish, let me pour out and give back all that You've given me. Let me not judge those who don't know You and live selfishly for themselves. Give me Your grace and wisdom, and continue to break my heart for the things that breaks Yours.


I met Danny Lacey the day before we shot the just released short film "Host" which you can see below. It was out first of two collaborations so far with hopefully many more to come. I asked Danny to follow up his orignal guest post about deciding to become a filmmaker 4 years ago with this catch up and see how he got on with the festival circuit and how he is doing his online release schedule.
Host (a Danny Lacey short film) from Danny Lacey on Vimeo.
It's almost four years since I started the filmmaker's journey. Picking up a camera for the first time and learning how to make films, everything self-taught. It's brought me to this pivotal point in my filmmaking career, a moment where I need to choose my next film projects wisely as I set out my stall as a director.
The last three film projects (Love Like Hers, Host and That Day) have been opportunities to gain valuable experience and fine tune ones filmmaking skills. I wasn't expecting to make anything ground breaking or Oscar winning, that wasn't the point for making them. It's with the next few projects that I hope to turn a few heads.
It's one of the essential aspects of a new filmaker's journey, to just grab a camera, get out there and shoot short films. For me, the only way to learn.
One of the key aspects of my work, at this stage, is building an audience, some might call it a tribe. I think it's essential for the modern day indie filmmaker. The unique way in which I'm doing this is by sharing absolutely everything I am going through as a filmmaker online. Through my film website, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo. Note, building up an audience takes time, often years and it's a great way of attracting talent to your projects as they can see quite clearly just how serious and professional you are.
How did we get on with Love Like Hers, Host and That Day?
Love Like Hers was shot in September 2010, Host in October 2011 and That Day in February 2012. All three films were finished at the same time, August 2012 and Premiered at Hyde Park Picture House in Leeds.
It was always my intention to submit to a handful of film festivals, just for the experience, anything else would have been a bonus. I didn't really give too much thought to the fact that I'll have THREE short films and that submitting to film festivals can be costly. I must have spent over £400 submitting all three films to a handful of festivals. I have since come to regret this move. I should have submitted less, I just got carried away. I don't think these three films were ready for some of the festivals I were submitting to. Lesson learned. We didn't get accepted by any, but I knew there was a 99.9% chance this would happen, yet I still went ahead without caution. Expensive mistake for sure. Be warned, the film festival world is a money making machine, they take and more than often you'll get nothing in return.
A good example of why it is so important to film lots of behind the scenes stuff and to get a good photographer on board.
I had more success with this form of release with all of the DVDs and Blu-Rays completely selling out. This was 100 DVDs and 200 Blu-Rays, selling all over the world. The extra features on the discs I believe played a huge role in the sales figures, giving people a lot of basng for their buck. The extra features will eventually appear on my YouTube channel and Vimeo.
The next stage was preparing for the imminent online release of all three films. I'd decided that each film would be released in one month intervals. Releasing all three in one go might have diluted the impact and interest.
It's important for people to be able to find information on your work quickly and easily and so my personal film site was to be the hub for online release. I set up the Screening Room with 4 screens (links) to all four of my films. On each of the links was the release dates. Having this page set-up made it a lot easier to promote the online release, a single space to direct people and then making sure there were other useful bits of information and links for anyone wanting to find out more.
I wanted to release Love Like Hers last and have Host as the first, leaving That Day in the number two slot. A date for the first release was decided, midnight on 4th March. Thirty days prior to Host's release, it was time to start pointing people in the direction of the Screening Room, generating more interest and building up a little excitement. I was incredibly nervous about releasing online for everyone to see. I really don't mind constructive criticism and feedback, in fact I welcome it. I'm just mindful of how negative and cruel the online world can be in parts (trolls). I can't forget, this film was a hobby project, another learning experience. It's part of my development as a filmmaker and absolutely not a statement of what I'm capable of achieving. That's yet to come.
The film was viewed over 2,000 times in just 12 hours and at the time of writing this, just two days later, it currently has over 6,000 views. The feedback has been incredible with a very high majority of people really enjoying the film. Huge sigh of relief, it means we're heading in the right direction.
How have I grown as a filmmaker?
I think I've become a much better, all round film maker since shooting Angel of the Night back in 2009. I have a good grasp and experience on most aspects of the filmmaking process including screenwriting, producing, cinematography, casting, directing and editing. I think it's really important for filmmaker's to have a good knowledge of all parts of the process.
Given a bigger budget I'm incredibly confident I could deliver a very high standard of film. Confidence plays a huge part, especially when you're dealing with and working with seasoned professionals and they're looking to you for answers during production. You have to be convincing, a good blagger – but also have the talent to back that up with!
One of the key factors in my development is the standards to which I aspire to. I mean, I want all of my films to look like 'proper' films. It's not about what we shot it on, it's about the story, the production value, the acting.
The other thing that has helped is watching MANY hours of making of videos on DVDs and Blu-Rays. And I mean many, many hours! I'll sometimes be in the office working with the making of The Social Network (David Fincher) or the King Kong Production Diaries (Peter Jackson) and many others on in the background. I've learned so much from just watching these guys in action. I think it's a great way to learn.
1. Write with the edit in mind and less is always more.
2. Only work with the best actors you can get your hands on. Be ruthless!
3. Location is key. Always find somewhere interesting to film, something with bags of character. The messiest locations are often the best.
4. Surround yourself with talented and enthusiastic people.
5. Share and talk about your projects on Social Media. People really do find that kind of thing interesting.
6. Listen to feedback and constructive criticism, but remain selfish and focused when it comes to your ideas and ambitions.
7. Be professional at all times.
8. A 'no' always means 'maybe', with a little extra persuasion.
10. Be loyal and helpful to those that have helped you in the past.
Doors have started opening as a result of my work and contacts over the last few years and this year I will be directing a major feature length documentary. I'm so incredibly excited about this project and I'm more than sure you'll be seeing and reading more about it in the coming months. It could be a biggie.
I'm also working on the screenplay for my next short film Walk Away and a feature length version of my short film Host.
All this and trying to run a video production business to help pay the bills.

Great guest post! Interesting experiences with the Festival Vs Online debate Danny. I'm going through a similar situation myself now, straddling the line of my short being available online for free whilst narrowing down what festivals I can submit to without it's online presence causing an issue. (It's a complete deal breaker for a large amount of the best ones as most of you are no doubt aware). But nevertheless there does exists a grey area!
It's had some success though, winning BFI Future Film Festival Short Fiction Award just last month and being included in the Official Selection for the New York International Children's Film Festival, in fact they contacted us purely thanks to the fact it was released online! So in my brief experience dabbling with festivals it's been a mostly positive affair. However this project of ours was, like many people reading this blog, a Zero budget production. So submitting to festivals is straight out of cast and crew pockets. And like the blog post says, this can mount up quickly unless your careful!
Worth it? I'd say yes but not at the restriction of online release. It's fantastic to put on a CV or in the description of your video online. And it's fantastic to get that official acknowledgment for your work. But online, at least for me in this moment in time, is king.
Thank you for sharing your experience as an independent film maker. I am a BIG fan of self releasing a project. Having worked on a independent film that was sent to so many festivals , then be denied entry can be maddening.
Its a real roll of the dice when submitting to a festival!
Not that film festivals are a bad thing,but they too have or are becoming kind of mainstream just like the big studios of days past!
Now with the internet being more of a player from a viewers perspective, I see independent releasing as a fantastic way to share with the world a project you are proud of. I actually have friends who now have their film on NETFLIX here in the states.
Though I love film making, I am also a realist. At the end of the day,this is a business. In order to thrive and continue on this film making journey,one must seriously understand a career move like this is for all practical purposes going to define who you are and how you will make a living for the rest of your life!
To be paid AND continue of that journey is one wonderful ride, so good luck with your future projects.
Thanks for your advice on film festival submissions. We are working on an independent film now and will be releasing it soon. This post will definitely make us think twice before going into submission overload on the festival end.
Thanks for saving us some money spending.

Season Preview: Berean Christian hopes leadership training leads to victories on football field
Christian Baldari
Special to The Post
Following a disappointing 0-9 season in 2020, Berean Christian hopes this season will be a foundation for future success.
The Bulldogs return two seniors, including quarterback Michael Hendricks, and will field a team composed primarily of underclassmen.
"We're a really young team, and our job is primarily to learn to play football and execute," head coach Mario Jackson said. "[During the summer], we had 28 conditioning sessions, and we played in two 7-on-7 tournaments. Outside of that, we've really spent a lot of time doing chalk talk, going over our installations for our plays quite extensively."

Berean Christian may not produce many wins this season, but Jackson is more focused on fostering cohesion and leadership among his young team.
"This year I wanted to make sure that it was a player-driven team, not a coach-driven team," Jackson said. "What we've done to help with that is I took eight of the guys who played with us last year and we went through a leadership training."
During the training, returning players completed several steps meant to build leadership qualities, such as filling out a written self-evaluation, sitting for one-on-one interviews with coaches, and reading and discussing a book about Old Testament leaders, "Running with the Giants" by John C. Maxwell.
The exercises strengthened bonds between players and taught them how to be leaders on and off the field.
"That's one of the things they have to find out [about leadership]," Jackson said. "In a leadership role, everything is not a bed of roses. You're going to have some hardships, but can you stand the test of time and can you have your peers look up to you when times are good and when times are bad?"
Jackson hopes his returning players will set an example of togetherness and unselfishness that younger players will then follow.
"The funny thing is that we meet once or twice a week to discuss the different chapters, but you also hear the players talking among each other, having conversations with younger guys about what they're learning," Jackson said. "The fact that the older players have an opportunity to teach those lessons that they've learned to their teammates, it all makes it worthwhile."
The Bulldogs are trying to use their youth to their advantage, creating a culture of camaraderie that they believe will translate into wins in the years to come.
"One of my favorite quotes is 'A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within,' " Jackson said. "If I had to put it into words, it means that as long as we take care of our own house and we take care of each other, then whatever happens outside of our circle isn't going to be able to tear us down. We'll be able to rise above that."
