...year in health care costs, lost earnings, crime and accidents. Complicating the problem, addicts tend to abuse more than one substance at a time - two-thirds of cocaine addicts also use alcohol, for example - a potentially lethal combination that may be increasing in popularity. A 2006 University of Florida study found that deaths from cocaine overdose, which often involved alcohol, increased in Florida from 150 a year in 2000 to 300 in 2005. Researchers hope that addiction vaccines may someday help to reverse those trends, not only through treatment of the addicted, but also by immunizing children from addiction early...
...taking Huckabee on - at least not in New Hampshire. Nor is the former New York mayor positioned to do well in the next major contest, in South Carolina.

Pennsylvania, with 226 inmates on death row, hasn't carried out a sentence since the '90s. In Florida a spree killer named William Elledge, who confessed to his crimes and has openly discussed his guilt in interviews, will soon complete his 33rd year on death row with his appeals still unresolved. Thirty-three years! He's one of about 55 men in Florida alone with more than 25 years on death...
