Molly Welch-Marahar, policy fellowship program manager for the Center for Healthcare Research & Transformation, says proposed regulations could jeopardize an invaluable component to the substance abuse treatment network — recovering addicts helping those in treatment: “There’s more and more support for the mode of peer support being critical in engaging people in recovering and ensuring long-term stability.”
Matt Bernhard, doctoral student in computer science and engineering, has shown in videos how he can defeat plastic security ties that counties across Michigan use to protect ballot bags, the cases that store voting machines and the ports that store the memory cards on optical-scan machines, which record paper ballots scanned into them.
