The United States incarcerates more people than any other country on planet Earth. In
1971, it was reported that 40,000 prisoners were incarcerated because they were involved
in the war on drugs. As of 2011, more than half a million prisoners are doing time for drug
use. There is not any specific race that uses drugs more than the other, but African Americans are convicted of this crime more than any others.
Richard Wilson
The average cost of a single prisoner in 2015 for all 50 states was $31,307. In Ohio, the
average cost per year is $60,225. This money comes out of the pockets of citizens in the
U.S., causing a rise in taxes. This issue has caused instability in the economy leading to
the passing of significant sentencing reform legislations from several states.
Jadiva Lee
To try and prevent the population of N.Y.s prisoners from rising any higher, the state
placed beefed- up policemen in the corners of high-crime areas. As result of the experiment, the prison population dropped about 13,000 inmates; thats almost 20 percent. The
rate of crime also dropped by 30 percent.
If this were to happen everywhere, and crime dropped to make the United States a safer
place, would you consider it a decline in the beginning of our epidemic in incarceration?

MONEY IS POWER
By: Rayvon McClendon
Billionaires have an advantage in
life, because with money comes
power. Whenever one has the lead
with some of the most money, one
has more power than one realizes.
One can buy whatever one wants
and pretty much get whatever one
aspires to.
The elite like to control their own
destiny, and thats what leads to
success. They explore companies
that need a change and buy
enough of the company to take
control. Its a reoccurring process.
Investing is the number one way
they contain their wealth. As long
as one knows how to pick the right
companies to invest in, one can
make a fortune. Stocks have given
the highest overall returns compared to bonds, commodities, cash
and returns in comparison to real
estate. The best way to invest is to
start small.
As a manager you should have great time management and know what needs to be
taught and what doesnt. Employees want and need guidance, feedback, and
validation that theyre on the right path.
The Best Friend
As a boss, its not good to have co-workers as your best friends. This will lead to you
giving them special treatment and letting them slide with different things. This
doesnt mean you cant be interactive and be friends with them, you just need
to reconsider what this type of relationship means.

The Warren County Coroner will be performing an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
"He was so young, so innocent. Just why? The Lord taught me, even through the hardest things in life, you gotta forgive he can't forgive
you either. Especially, even something like this, you gotta have faith and you gotta keep your head on straight. That little boy would want
me to keep going every day," Robert Ritchie III told WDTN. "He'd want me to go out and have fun for him and do everything I can for
him."
Ritchie III was very upset about his son, as would any loving and caring parent, and feels that his son should live on. He was a huge fan of
Star Wars, apparently in love with R2-D2.
Ritchie is being held in the Warren County Jail on $100,000 bond and was to be video arraigned on Friday March 18 at noon in Franklin
Municipal Court. She is charged with child endangerment, a felony of the second degree.
Be careful with whom your children are entrusted to, for all you know, your child may be endangered.

YOU SO SALTY
By: MartyNae McWay
We all have those lazy days and just stop to get fast food.
Maybe its due to hanging with some friends on a nice
day and choosing to go for some McDonalds, Burger
King, or Rallys.
Too many Americans are becoming unhealthy from eating fast foods. About 90 percent of
Americans eat plenty of it and all it contains is salt. In 2011-2012, the average daily sodium intake among adults was 3,592 mg; this was way above the public health target.
Since then, some adults agreed to cut back and eat home cooked meals. When cooking at
home, one is in control of how much salt is added, as well as seasonings and spices.
One can have a healthy body whether young or old. So remember try to eat at home as
much as possible. We can stay healthy together!
The goal of cognitive computing is to stimulate human thought processes in a computerized model. Using self-learning algorithms that use data mining, pattern recognition, and
natural language processing, the computer can mimic the way the human brain works.
This is the third era of computing, the more the different data system is exposed to, the
more it learns and the more accurate it becomes. The process of these systems are entitled for basically any field of work that deals with large portions of compacted data that
need to be analyzed to solve problems.
The program assistants on our phones such as Siri and Google are not even cognitive
systems because they are programmed to answer a preset number of requests, which
means its limited information.
