Those numbers aren’t even in the same ballpark, but a recent BuzzFeed article has left users of the ride-hailing app trying to make sense of the gulf between them. The news site published screenshots, provided by a former customer service representative for Uber, that show a search for the words sexual assault pulling up 6,160 tickets in the company’s database and a search for the word rape returning 5,827 tickets.

Allegations of sexual assault against Bill Cosby as well as intensified focus on campus rape have left many prosecutors struggling to figure out new ways to right old wrongs. Now, a growing number of states are changing their statutes of limitations to allow sexual assault cases to be prosecuted years and even decades after the fact.
"We have to keep the door open for justice for survivors," says Rebecca O'Connor from the Rape, Abuse And Incest National Network.

It’s been four years since two female students accused a U.S. Naval Academy teacher, Marine Maj. Mark Thompson, of having sex with them amid a drunken night of strip poker at his Annapolis home.
The flawed investigation that followed — closely examined in a story this week by The Washington Post — shined light on one incident among several that have deeply embarrassed the nation’s service academies in the past two decades. In 2003, a survey revealed that one in 10 women at the U.S. Air Force Academy had been sexually assaulted while attending the school.

Siri and other smartphone personal assistants can look up driving directions, find the hottest ramen spots and send text messages if you just ask. Some can even help in crisis situations by directing users to the nearest hospital, dialing a suicide hotline or encouraging those who say they are depressed to seek help.
But when it comes to concerns about rape or domestic violence, a new study says most smartphone personal assistants come up short.

 As the population continues an aging process that will peak around 2050, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the nursing profession will itself continue to age. With a nursing shortage being reported in states around the U.S., retaining and leveraging the skills of older nurses is worth examining.

In 2012, a study published in the Journal of Nursing Administration reported that nurses ranked resistance from nurse leaders and nurse managers as one of the top five barriers to implementing EBP. Now a new study published in Worldviews on Evidence-Based Nursing has found that, while chief nurse executives say they strongly believe EBP results in high-quality care, only 3 percent of the 276 CNOs and CNEs ranked EBP as a top priority. And 74 percent reported that they allocated zero to 10 percent of their annual operating budgets to build and sustain EBP in their organizations.
