Opera Press Releases
Giving gamers two windows to the Web: The Opera Browser for Nintendo DS™
Oslo, Norway - February 15, 2006
In Opera's agreement with Nintendo, Nintendo DS users will now be able to surf the full Internet from their systems using the Opera browser. The Opera browser for Nintendo DS will be sold as a DS card. Users simply insert the card into the Wi- Fi enabled Nintendo DS, connect to a network, and begin browsing on two screens.
Earlier this year, Nintendo reported that 13 million Nintendo DS systems were sold to consumers around the world within just 13 months of its debut in November 2004. Nintendo DS combines unique dual screens, touch screen, voice recognition and wireless and Wi-Fi communications capabilities. According to an independent market research company in Japan, Nintendo DS has become the fastest selling video games machine to top the six million sales mark in Japan in just over 14 months since its Japanese debut, breaking the old record held by Nintendo's Game Boy Advance.
"The incredibly popular Nintendo DS is already Wi-Fi enabled to support real time gaming, so adding Web browsing capabilities was a natural evolution for this device," says Scott Hedrick, Executive Vice President, Opera Software. "Gaming devices are growing more advanced and a great Web experience is becoming a product differentiator for gaming manufacturers. Opera is excited to work with Nintendo to deliver a unique dual screen, full Internet experience on Nintendo DS."
With an on-screen keypad and stylus, users can easily navigate the Web from their Nintendo DS with PDA-like functionality. Based on the same core as the Opera desktop browser, Opera delivers superior speed and rendering of Web pages on the Nintendo DS.
"Within just five seconds of turning on the system, the Nintendo DS is already fully operational. This makes it the ideal device to enable people to swiftly obtain the latest information from the internet, wherever they are," says Masaru Shimomura, Deputy General Manager of Nintendo's R & D Department. "Opera exceeded our expectations with its user friendly interface, quick access to all your favorite sites, ease of use and, most importantly, in making the best use of the Nintendo DS system's unique double screens and touch screen features. Opera is an important partner for Nintendo in our efforts to further expand the users of the Nintendo DS."
Nintendo Co., Ltd. held a presentation today in Tokyo, Japan, to announce updates for the Nintendo DS. Information on the availability of the Opera browser DS card has not yet been announced.

text: Today I noticed that my dog's one eye is going bad. She's been bumping into things and I get really sad. When you've had a dog for 13 years it's hard to see your life without her, but I don't want to think about that. She is always so great and she makes me laugh all the time the way she randomly rolls in the grass after I give her a bath. I'm freaking out about college apps. Not liking how xc season is coming so close to the end. And I don't want to stop just being at home. I love it here. I'm scared of leaving my friends and of them leaving me. I just want to….idk…stop time. Stay now forever. Practice my cello all day. See friends whenever and have dinner with my amazing family. I just can't…I'm tired and scared. I take each day for granted and never stop to thank the One who makes it all happen. I'm sorry for how I never show gratitude to God or ever show Him through my character. I'm sorry. I'm terrified of the next year, but at the same time excited to see my young and old friends grow and accomplish things. What am I going to do when I can't run anymore because I'm not fast enough? Cello is amazing, but I don't think I can survive without running on a team. You make the most amazing connections with those people. You run and you don't have to say anything. You just know that that person is there and they are running for you just as much as you are running for them. Gosh, running has changed my life. I'm so happy I decided to try in in 6th grade. If I have to crawl to that line to qualify for state, I'm doing it. It's time to finally get serious, after 7 years I'm determined to be great in something I wasn't built to do.

The Georgia Senate passed a bill on Monday that would loosen restrictions gun ownership.
SB 101 allows 18-year-old Georgians with basic military training to apply for a license to carry.
Alice Johnson is with Georgians for Guns Safety. The organization opposes the bill.
"There's a question about the language. It doesn't say served and completed your service.It just says went through basic training. Then the question would be, why didn't they stay?" said Johnson.
It also allows people with gun licenses from other states to carry in Georgia and allows people who live in public housing to own guns.
"For too long public housing has been a hot bed of crime and violence. This is going exactly the wrong direction in terms of redeveloping and maintaining our public housing," said Sen. Vincent Fort, D-Atlanta. He voted against the bill.
Jerry Henry, executive director of GeorgiaCarry.org, said law-abiding citizens who live in public housing should have a right to protect their homes.
"You can't keep the guns out of there now, that's where the crime is coming from. If you gave somebody a chance to defend themselves, you might cut down on the crime rate," said Henry.
Another gun bill designed to loosen restrictions on guns was debated on Monday in the House's Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee.
HB 512 would allow licensed gun owners to carry guns in churches, bars, government buildings without security guards and on college campuses.
"The majority of the public believes guns in bars where people serve alcohol is a bad idea. College campus and other kinds of locations, separately they are bad, when you put them together like this, they are insane," said Fort.
"Why shouldn't they (college students) have the right to protect themselves? If you look at the crime rate around Georgia Tech and Georgia State, they are very, very high," said Henry. "We're not asking the church to be forced to allow you to come in the church. We are asking that it should be treated like all private property."

The girl was walking north across Sperry Avenue on the east side of the intersection and had almost reached a center island when a green Toyota Tundra ran into her at 7:45 a.m., said Deputy Robert Banks of Patterson Police Services.
She only suffered some bruises and cuts to her face, and was released from Doctors Medical Center in Modesto later in the day after being transported there via ambulance, Banks said.
The Tundra, driven by a 72-year-old man, was heading south on American Eagle Avenue when it made a left-hand turn onto Sperry Avenue and hit the girl in the middle of the road, Banks said. Though there was no crosswalk on the side of the street where she was walking, a green walk sign was lit, indicating she had the right to cross, he said.
While the driver said he thought he was driving at about 10 mph to 15 mph, other witnesses thought he was traveling at about 20 mph to 25 mph, Banks said. Regardless, it appears the driver was well within the speed limit, Banks said.
The girl did not have any pain when medics assessed her, and she was only transported to the hospital as a precautionary measure, said Division Chief Jeff Gregory of the Patterson Fire Department.
"It was a low impact of speed," Gregory said. "She appeared to have non-serious injuries."
Banks said the driver, who had not noticed the girl walking across the street before making the left-hand turn, will be issued a citation for failing to yield to a pedestrian.
The driver was cooperative with authorities, Gregory said.
The incident caused traffic to back up at the intersection during the busy morning hours when many parents are dropping their children off at school, Gregory said.
Banks said it should serve as a reminder for drivers to slow down and take extra precautions, particularly in the morning hours when traffic is heavy just before the start of the school day.

BAGHDAD — A suicide bomber struck a group of anti-Al-Qaeda fighters north of Baghdad on Monday, killing at least 22 people and wounding 44 in an attempt to shake confidence in Iraqi security forces, officials said.
The blast is the latest in a string of particularly lethal attacks against security forces and civilians. More than 200 Iraqis have been killed since the beginning of the year.

In order for conference participants to reach our service, each one must call a telephone number. For Reservationless Standard and Web-Scheduled Standard conferences this number may be local or long distance, depending on their location. The only costs for these type of conference calls are whatever long distance rates are charged by each individual conference participant's long distance carrier (Sprint, MCI, AT&T, etc.). We do not require the use of any specific carrier, nor do we know what rates you pay on your calling plan.
For Web-Scheduled Premium 800 conference calls the dial-in number will be a toll-free number. The conference Organizer will pay $0.10 per minute for each Participant in the conference. Since the Participants in the conference will use a toll-free number they will not incur any charges for use of our service.
For further information please refer to our Services chart for a detailed comparison of our three conference products.
No. There are absolutely no surcharges. For Reservationless Standard Web-Scheduled Standard and Web-Scheduled Web-Scheduled Standard conferences, nothing extra will appear on your bill other than the call itself, billed at your normal long long-distance rate.Web-Scheduled Premium 800 conferences:
Yes, for Web-Scheduled Premium 800 conference calls, nothing will appear on your phone bill whatsoever. Instead, we will bill your credit card for the total amount of time each participant is present in the conference call, at the rate of $0.10 per minute per caller, plus the Federal Universal Service Fund Fee.
Beginning October 1, 2008, iotum®, will begin assessing the Federal Universal Service Fund Fee on all paid telecommunication services*, which is designed to recover iotum' contribution to the Federal Universal Service Fund.
iotum calculates the Federal Service Fund Fee as a percentage of all per–minute premium services. The percentage that iotum applies is the same as the FCC's universal service contribution factor. The current contribution factor can be found at: www.fcc.gov/omd/contribution-factor.html
This means that you will see an additional charge as a line item on your conference call receipt.
We have created a QuickStart Guide to acquaint you with our conference call services, and to help you decide which service best suits your needs. Click here to get started.
FreeConference.com assigns all Dial-in Numbers in order to balance capacity on our conference bridges
Web-scheduled conferences have a guaranteed time slot on our conference bridge for the number of participants, date, and time that you select. You reserve this time slot in advance using this Web site and call the dial-in telephone number assigned by the conference scheduler (More information).
Reservationless conferences allow you to call any time you wish, without scheduling your conference through the FreeConference.com website. Using your own planning tools, you can create a conference on-demand. When you register, you will receive a dedicated Dial-in Number and Access Code. Just let your participants know the date, time, Dial-in Number and Access Code. You will be prompted to enter your subscriber pin when using our Reservationless Premium 800. You can use your reservationless Dial-in number and unique Access Code again and again (More information).
Most often, this happens when the person using our Web site doesn't complete the process of reserving the conference by selecting "confirm this conference". It is very important to follow the prompts all the way through the process until our system reads "confirmed conference". Please visit the Conference Manager page of our site well in advance of your scheduled conference time and verify that the upcoming conference is displayed there. Also, you may wish to take advantage of our e-mail invitations and confirmations feature to gain a measure of confidence that the conference is truly reserved on our server.
Conference calls can have up to 150 participants. If you would like to conduct an Event-Sized Conference with 150+ participants, please contact customer support for more information or to schedule a call. For further information, please see our Services comparison chart.
In any conference call, no matter what conference bridge or provider you use, the clarity will decrease somewhat as you add more Participants. The more conference Participants, the more likely the use of cell phones, cordless phones, speakerphones, headsets, background noise, and other low-quality transmission problems. Also, there is more chance of someone putting the call 'on hold' without remembering to mute their phone and broadcasting their 'hold music' or radio station to the remainder of the conference.
Basically, it is human error that causes problems as a conference grows larger, and generally not our conference bridge. Since all lines are bridged together, a conference call can never be better than the worst connection on the call. For additional information, please see our guide to Eliminating Background Noise and Distractions.
Though we do not offer telephone support for non-emergency problems encountered by users of our free services, we do provide toll-free Customer Support for our Premium 800 service. The toll-free customer support number can be found in the Confirmation e-mail, once a Web-Scheduled Premium 800 call has been scheduled. For all other Premium services, the Customer Support number can be found on the Account page.
Our conference bridges are physically located on the premises of telephone company central offices and are connected to the telephone network via high capacity digital circuits. Our equipment does not itself introduce echo or noise into the conference. However, echo or noise can enter the conference through the telephone lines used by one or more of the participants in the conference. It is the nature of teleconferencing that all sound brought in to the conference is amplified and rebroadcast out to all the other participants in the conference. If there is a barely noticeable echo in a two-party conversation, it may become a very pronounced echo in a 30-party conference call. We STRONGLY recommend that all participants in the conference use only high quality telephones and avoid cellular phones, cordless phones, headsets, etc.
If you encounter an echo or noise during your conference you can try the following procedure: Ask everyone to mute themselves using touch-tone *6 (see Hotkeys). Then, slowly, one at a time, each participant should un-mute him or herself (again using touch-tone *6). When the echo or noise returns, the "culprit" will have been identified. That person should be asked to hang up and dial back in again, using a different telephone if possible.
If you use our Quick Scheduler feature, (see What is Quick Scheduler?) you can easily schedule multiple conferences in quick succession, up to 11 months in advance. In addition, if you use our RSVP email invitation tool, you can organize your contacts into groups and with one click, copy your group into the e-mail invitation for your conference. Scheduling each conference should take less than one minute.
Web-scheduled conference call lengths are only scheduled in increments as specified on the web site. You may call in up to 20 minutes early but you will hear music-on-hold until the scheduled start time of your conference. If facilities are available at the time your conference is scheduled to end, our system will automatically extend it if it runs long. Of course, Reservationless conference calls can start at any time and can last up to three hours. See our Services page for a comparison between our different services.
Quick Scheduler saves you time by "copying" previous conference settings into a new conference in 3 easy steps. Just select any previously scheduled conference, input your new date and time, then Quick Scheduler will duplicate your attendees, organizer code, access code, subject, agenda and invitees. You can still edit any conference setting on the manage page as usual.
Yes, we offer Conference Recording, Computer Download and Telephone Playback of your conference call. (learn more). This feature is FREE with all Premium 800 calls and only $9 per month as a FreeConference Select service with all Web-Scheduled Standard calls. If you wish, after the conference has ended we will contact a qualified third-party transcription service on your behalf.
Local, 800 & Toll-Free Numbers
Yes. You should be able to reach our conference systems from anywhere in the world. Of course, you will incur international long distance charges if you are not within the United States when you call.
Our Premium service provides toll-free numbers that can be reached only from within the fifty United States and Canada. If you use our Web-Scheduled Premium 800 service we provide a long distance dial-in telephone number for use by callers who are outside the USA and Canada.

As for sound quality - I'd say that it's OK for the money asked for them. Sound is clear, with nice mids and height. Sometimes bass lacked punch, but it depends on recoding mastering. So money/value - it's a good choice. " --cleg

One thing that separates the Golden Globes from the Academy Awards two ""best of the year"" broadcasts that forever competing for our attention is the divide of ""Drama"" and ""Comedy."" Splitting the genres down the middle, the Golden Globes open the door for two best picture winners. Why settle for one winner when you can get two?
This year's Best Comedy or Musical award went to Les Misérables, beating out The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, and Silver Linings Playbook for top honors. The Globes sided with heavier material in this year's Comedy/Musical category, nominating one straight musical and four films that blend drama with comedy. Sorry, 21 Jump Street and That's My Boy fans the Hollywood Foreign Press didn't find room for 2012's broad comedies.
Other genre-appropriate wins include Hugh Jackman for Best Comedy or Musical Actor for his work in Les Miserables, while star Jennifer Lawrence took home the statue in the Best Actress category for Silver Linings Playbooks. Les Misérables' win follows days after the movie was nominated for Best Picture at the 2013 Academy Awards.

And we are off!!!
Well after frantically getting the house in order, working an extra day at work, we finally are at the airport. Only to realize that I forgot my camera! Then the plane is delayed to fix the A/C. They finally announce that it will be an hour at least before boarding. So Dan ran home to get the camera. Thank heavens! Even small miracles are wonderful!

It is becoming natural for me to go out there and have fun.

This is a great exfoliator! I like to add it to a cleanser and scrub my skin one or two days post peel. It makes my skin glow! Great product! I have already purchased another jar!
The best micodermabrasion cream on the market. Point blank, period. It may not come in a fancy jar and isn't sold in Sephora, but it works. I'm very picky when it comes to scrubs and have only liked 2 over the 10+ years that I have been caring for my skin seriously. This comes in first place and Olay's microdermabrasion system is second.
I have sensitive skin and find this scrub works beautifully. The crystals are very fine in texture, like the softest sand you can imagine. Not irritating at all. I use it once a week, a few days after doing a Mandelic acid peel (also from MUAC). I use light pressure and scrub for only 1 minute. Afterwards, my skin feels like porcelain! I apply SkinMedica's TNS recovery serum and moisturize with Avene Clean-AC cream. My skin looks very healthy and glows.
I highly recommend this to anyone who wants smooth skin.

Ok. I've used my fair share of scrubs. The best (for me) that I've come across until now were Olay microdermabrasion and peel. And my very own concoction of lemon juice and sugar to make my own scrub. Yeah seriously!!! Some months ago a few women on a board that I frequent mentioned this product. I was hesitant because other scrubs have failed me and I didn't want to pay 25 bucks for 2 ounces of "crap". Later on I finally bit the bullet and I'm sooooo glad I did. This stuff is amazing. My skin is so smooth after one use. I would highly recommend this product. I have dark marks that I'm trying to get rid of so hopefully a combination of this, MUAC lactic/fade peels, vitamin c and the skin bleaching cream (for spots ONLY) will help clear them up. However, this scrub will remain a staple as long as they continue to sell!!! I'm happy.

Back when I was flush with cash I bought Dr. Brandt's Microdermabrasion in a Jar. I loved it and used it all up, and then I was too broke to buy more.
MUAC's Micro Polish Cream is BETTER. It works just as well as Dr. Brandt and it's less than a third of the price. It's a must have after an acid peel.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this as a sample and loved how it left my skin so smooth, I also have been using it a couple days after a peel to get rid of some flakes. I have since purchased the full size.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is an excellent product. I had not used scrubs for years (with the exception of household baking soda) because they irritated my sensitive skin. MUAC Micro Polish is different - so refined that with gentle use it has made a noticeable difference in the smoothness of my skin without any scraping, scratching or redness. I combine its use with an oil that contains an emulsifier. FIrst I apply the oil and massage it in for a minute or two to remove makeup, then add a dab of the Micro Polish with a few drops of water to disperse the granules and make it easier to spread around. After the cleansing massage, it all rinses off cleanly and the skin is smooth, moisturized and glowing. Love this scrub and will order again.

The best manual exfoliator I have used for a fair price.
I ordered this as a sample with my glycolic kit. It's tiny but a little drop on my finger covers my whole cheek so it will last a nice amount of time. Skin feels clean/soft after use, I'll eventually buy the full size (shipping is high to UK though for such a small product).
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is such a nice product that I always look forward to using. As everyone has already mentioned, MUAC's Micro Polish Cream has all the hallmarks of the perfect scrub. It has become a staple in my regimen and I just cannot do without it.
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Add me to the chorus- this is the best manual exfoliator ever. Originally I bought the sample size, and even that tiny jar worked wonders on my skin. Now I have the large jar, and expect it to last a long time, as all the MUAC products I've tried do. The packaging is not flashy, just like their peels, but the product is stellar.

Audubon School - Another Possibility
June 04, 2013
A competing proposal may be in the works for a former school in Rock Island. As the city considers the site for a new grocery store, developers of two historic properties in the Quad Cities now say they're interested in the Audubon School.
Joe Lemon Junior, and his family, have renovated the historic railroad station in Rock Island into the Abbey Station banquet center, and a former convent in Bettendorf into a hotel and now a drug treatment center. He calls the school a "beautiful historic landmark."
"Having seen a lot of historic properties that are in poor condition, this one struck us as one that still is in pretty decent condition. And really kind of a nice asset for the community, provided it could be put to a productive use."
Lemon says one possibility is to turn the vacant school into apartments or condomiums.
"This might have a future use even as a school. We've done a lot of research about charter schools in Illinois and the opportunity there. It seems that certainly it's laid out for the purpose of a school."
Fareway Stores would like to buy the property on 18th Avenue in Rock Island, tear down the school, and build a new grocery store, but some neighbors are opposed. The proposal goes before the city's Planning Commission tonight. Lemon thinks the city should explore all the alternatives before allowing Audubon to be demolished.

Lately I have been working on organizing and decorating in the kitchen/diningroom of my house. Even though these spaces are pretty small I have somehow managed to keep them really minimal (read: bare) since I moved in last year. :) I really wanted to create some kind of string art ever since I saw this one from Elise's blog. There are so many different takes on string (or yarn) art. I love seeing vintage pieces and I also love modern takes on this classic craft, like this one and that one. So I decided to make one for my kitchen area.I got this piece of wood at Hobby Lobby and then had Elsie helped create the outline of a fork and spoon. We outlined the design in black paint. Then I added nails all around the edges. Then came the fun part-adding the string. :)I really like how it turned out, and I can't wait to hang it in my kitchen this weekend! xo. Emma

Revised April 2012
Opioids act on specific receptors in the brain and the body, which also interact with naturally produced substances known as endorphins or enkephalins – important in regulating pain. While prescription pain relievers can be highly beneficial if used as prescribed, opioids as a general class of drugs have a high potential for abuse.
Addiction to opioids (e.g., heroin, morphine, prescription pain relievers) is a serious global problem that affects the health, social, and economic welfare of all societies. An estimated 12–21 million people worldwide abuse opioids, with 1.9 million people in the U.S. addicted to prescription opioid pain relievers in 2010 and 359,000 addicted to heroin. Consequences of this abuse have been devastating and are on the rise. For example, the number of unintentional overdose deaths from prescription pain relievers has soared in the U.S., quadrupling since 1999.
Abuse of opioids, especially heroin, is also linked with the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and other blood-borne diseases mostly through the use of unsterile drug paraphernalia, but also through the risky behavior that drug abuse may engender. Thus, treatment of drug abuse not only frees individuals from the vicious cycle of addiction, but can also prevent related adverse health consequences.
Medications – A Critical Component of Opioid Addiction Treatment
Drug abuse changes the way the brain works, resulting in compulsive behavior focused on drug seeking and use, despite sometimes devastating consequences—the essence of addiction. Therefore, drug abuse treatment must address these brain changes, both in the short and long term. When people addicted to opioids first quit, they undergo withdrawal symptoms, which may be severe (pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting). Medications can be helpful in this detoxification stage to ease craving and other physical symptoms, which often prompt relapse. However, this is just the first step in treatment. Medications may also become an essential component of an ongoing treatment plan, enabling opioid-addicted persons to regain control of their health and their lives.
Medications developed to treat opioid addiction work through the same receptors as the addictive drug, but are safer and less likely to produce the harmful behaviors that characterize addiction. Three types include (1) agonists, which activate opioid receptors; (2) partial agonists, which also activate opioid receptors but produce a diminished response; and (3) antagonists, which block the receptor, and interfere with the rewarding effects of opioids. Physicians prescribe a particular medication based on a patient's specific medical needs and other factors. Effective medications include:
- Methadone (Dolophine or Methadose), a slow-acting, opioid agonist. Methadone is taken orally, so that it reaches the brain slowly, dampening the "high" that occurs with other routes of administration while preventing withdrawal symptoms. Methadone has been in use since the 1960s to treat heroin addiction and is still an excellent treatment option, particularly for patients that do not respond well to other medications; however, it is only available through approved outpatient treatment programs, where it is dispensed to patients on a daily basis.
- Buprenorphine (Subutex, Suboxone), a partial opioid agonist. Buprenorphine relieves drug cravings without producing the "high" or dangerous side effects of other opioids. Suboxone is a novel formulation, taken orally, that combines buprenorphine with naloxone (an opioid antagonist) to ward off attempts to get high by injecting the medication. If an addicted patient were to inject Suboxone, the naloxone would induce withdrawal symptoms, which are averted when taken orally as prescribed. The FDA approved buprenorphine in 2002, making it the first medication eligible to be prescribed by certified physicians through the Drug Addiction Treatment Act. This approval eliminates the need to visit specialized treatment clinics, expanding treatment access.
- Naltrexone (Depade, Revia) an opioid antagonist. Naltrexone is not addictive or sedating and does not result in physical dependence; however, poor patient compliance has limited its effectiveness. Recently an injectable long acting formulation of naltrexone called Vivitrol received FDA approval for treating opioid addiction. Given as a monthly injection, Vivitrol should improve compliance by eliminating the need for daily dosing. To avoid withdrawal symptoms, Vivitrol should be used only after a patient has undergone detoxification. Vivitrol provides an effective alternative for individuals who are unable to or choose not to engage in agonist-assisted treatment.
Benefits of Medication-Assisted Treatment – Beyond Reducing Drug Use
Scientific research has established that medication-assisted treatment of opioid addiction increases patient retention and decreases drug use, infectious disease transmission, and criminal activity. For example, studies among criminal offenders, many of whom enter the prison system with drug abuse problems, showed that methadone treatment begun in prison and continued in the community upon release extended the time parolees remained in treatment, reduced further drug use, and produced a three-fold reduction in criminal activity.
Investment in medication-assisted treatment of opioid addiction also makes good economic sense. For methadone, every dollar invested in treatment generates an estimated $4–5 return.
Research Reveals New Strategies for Addiction Medications
NIDA is committed to supporting research to improve opioid addiction treatment, including behavioral therapies, which can be an important component of long-term recovery. Equally important is ensuring that these improvements reach all affected communities.
Improved medications – Probuphine is a long-acting version of buprenorphine that is showing promise in clinical trials. An implant inserted under the skin, Probuphine can deliver medication continuously for 6 months. Like Vivitrol, it aims to prevent abuse and diversion and increase treatment adherence by eliminating the need for daily dosing.
Vaccine research – Vaccines are being developed to help combat a variety of addictions including heroin. A heroin vaccine, currently under development, would corral heroin in the bloodstream and prevent it from reaching the brain and exerting its euphoric effects. This approach could guard against relapse and be an effective addition to a comprehensive treatment plan for heroin addiction.
Reaching Into the Community
NIDA is collaborating with SAMHSA and others to accelerate the translation of research discoveries into clinical practice, including the use of medication-assisted treatment. To learn more about these efforts, please visit: http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/nidasamhsa-blending-initiative

EP Review: Panda Su – I Begin
Packed with a cute, folksy vibe, Panda Su's I Begin heavily utilises the understated vocal and instrumental sound that fans of female-fronted acoustic-indie acts adore. However, whether purposefully or not, founder Suzanne Isabel Ferreira tends to stumble down the path of irritating over-simplicity that Zooey Deschanel employs with She & Him, conveying a similar kind of loveliness but without the same sense of honesty necessary to make it believable.
Whilst the EP plods along nicely and has its hum-along moments every now and then, it's very hard to feel like this hasn't all been done before. 'Bee Song' doesn't really do a huge amount from start to finish, and displays a bland and somewhat careless vocal effort with next to no thought for melody or development. 'I Begin' is a more interesting track, employing softly cooed vocals and a warm, relaxing timbre throughout. The song's outro somewhat lessens its calm allure, with a chorus of voices painfully drawling the same line until it becomes almost unbearable. 'Alphabet Song' begins beautifully, with a gorgeously plucked guitar line and subtle electronic rhythm building into a Morcheeba-like ambiance. The vocals, however, massively take away from the track by once again not seeming to care for dynamics or melody, eventually droning through two renditions of the alphabet with a maddeningly dull monotony. Thankfully, the whole EP is saved by the closing track 'Facts and Figures', in which we can finally hear the true charm of Panda Su begin to shine through, with a genuinely endearing melody accompanying clearly emotionally invested-in lyrics, hovering steadily above a piece that dynamically moves, develops and climaxes wonderfully.
I'm left feeling a little downhearted and frankly nonplussed by the attitude present on this EP. It certainly isn't that Suzanne is talentless in either vocal, instrumental or compositional prowess – one listen to 'Facts and Figures' or 'Éric Is Dead' from Sticks & Bricks will make that starkly obvious - but after a few listens to her voice on I Begin, I can't shake the feeling that she simply doesn't care about what she is singing.

Why does shredding system files not remove all the selected files?
Windows and many open applications are constantly using various temporary files. Since these files are in use, they cannot be modified by other applications. As a result, the operation "Shred System Files" will usually generate the result "Operation completed with errors". If you wish to remove more files, simply restart your computer and try again. The operation "Shred Free Space" can also be used to ensure that there is a bare minimum of sensitive temporary files on your system.

A Colquitt County man, who police say robbed a friend outside a McDonald's in broad daylight, is in jail.
Moultrie Police officers Monday arrested Kenjy Irving and charged with armed robbery. The victim, Willie Peterson, told investigators he was in the parking lot of McDonalds around 11:30 last Tuesday morning when Irving pulled a gun and demanded money.
Peterson thought it was a joke because he knew Irving. He told police Irving never pointed the gun at him but held it in his hand. He got away with cash.
Irving is being held in the Colquitt County Jail.

Sugar Cookie Pops
Oxmoor House
To bake these adorable cookie pops, simply roll balls of sugar cookie dough in colored sprinkles and insert a white craft stick before baking. Make a colorful (and edible) centerpiece for the kids' table by filling a container with florist foam, topping it with jelly beans, and then sticking the pops into the foam.

Recipe Time
Cook Time:
Prep Time:
Chill: 2 Hours
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- Colored sugars, sparkling sugars, and multicolored jimmies
- 4" white craft sticks
- Beat butter and shortening at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy; add sugars, beating well. Add eggs, oil, and vanilla, beating until blended.
- Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; add to butter mixture, blending well. Cover and chill dough 2 hours or overnight.
- Shape dough into 1 1/2" balls. Roll each ball in colored sugar or jimmies in individual bowls, pressing gently, if necessary, to coat balls. Place 2" apart on ungreased baking sheets. Insert craft sticks about 1" into each cookie to resemble a lollipop.
- Bake at 350° for 10 to 11 minutes or until set. Let cool 2 minutes on baking sheets; remove cookie pops to wire racks to cool completely.
You'll want to buy several containers of colored sugars and jimmies so you'll have plenty for coating these cookie balls.

Fun on the Plaza and Crown Center
5 out of 5 stars
Rodney L. - Wichita, KS
I had never been to Country Club Plaza or Crown Center and my girlfriend took me on a tour. Of the many fun things we did, one of the best was watching a street magician do some of the best illusions I had ever seen. After a very good lunch at P.F. Chang's, some awesome cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory, and a stroll through the many shops on the Plaza we had the opportunity to listen to some good music from a live local band. The next day at Crown Center was a lot of fun. The crayon color wheel at The Crayola Store was amazing. I really look forward to my next visit to KC.
Carriages keep it unique

Kristin G. - Edgerton, KS
Taking a carriage ride while the Christmas lights are up is a breath taking and moving experience. Its not Christmas until you've taken the leisurly ride from a huge fuzzy draft horse through the lights, art, and achitecture. It can't be reproduced by walking or driving it!

Hot Cocoa and Water Fire
No star rating provided.
Micki M. - overland park, KS
Being new to the KC area I'm so captivated by the spirit and beauty of the city. Especially at night time events such as the WaterFire walk along Brush Creek. Although many kids were enjoying the hot chocolate by the bon fires on the creek, my husband and I enjoyed a night without our kids. It was so beautiful and relaxing walking along the waterfire while still in the midst of the city lights. I must not forget to mention Houston's, one of my favorite restaurants, was serving their best food and drinks! I love this city!
The Plaza at night
No star rating provided.
Kristy B. - Kansas City, MO
We love to take walks through the Plaza on a crisp fall night. The smells of all the wonderful restaurants fill the air, and there are always plenty of local artist on the corners sharing their music. Then there are the fountains. You can just sit and watch the water dance for hours.
Beautiful Plaza has it all!
5 out of 5 stars
Lindsay M. - Rogers, AR
The Country Club Plaza was within walking distance of our hotel and we're so glad it was! It was so beautiful to stroll the shops, see the fountains and sculptures, and dine in the restaurants. There was ample, close, free parking and it was buzzing during the day into the night.
A Surprise on the Plaza
No star rating provided.
Joshua H. - Kansas City, MO
Kansas City is full of surprises, you never know what may happen from weekend to weekend. I was on a late night walk with my girlfriend around the plaza and we saw the fountain in front of Eddie Bauer. But we noticed something different about it. The fountain had bubbles coming out! It was really remarkable and made a memorable experience we won't soon forget.
City of Fountains
No star rating provided.
Jill V. - Dallas, TX
Kansas City is said to have more fountains than any city except Rome, and they make a great background for photos. This is me and my husband in front of the InterContinental Hotel on the Country Club Plaza. It's hard to see, but there's a big fountain behind us!
McKenzie Thorpe Celebrates His Art
No star rating provided.
Brian O. - Kansas City, MO
I love Kansas City because it embraces art from all around the world as exampled by the showing in Mill Creek Park. If the J.C. Nichols fountain is not enough and the Nelson Atkins Museum is not enough, we fly an entire exhibit in from England. Bravo KC.

Simple. Make it clear that you won't give him sex until he gives you foreplay. I'm sure he'll learn quickly.
Ok. Let me qualify this with two things.
First, if he can't physically do the things he used to, you need to get a grip and come up with some alternative to "make things exactly like they were before."
Second, as Ask Abby always says, when someone develops a sudden change in personality, you need to consider medical causes and talk to a doctor even if the change in personality is something you don't feel comfortable discussing with your doctor. Especially pay attention if the sudden absence of foreplay was accompanied by other changes, such as loss of memory, etc.
But even if there's a medical excuse for why he's suddenly not performing foreplay, you still need to sit down and explain to him that marital happiness is a two-way street. Unless he makes an effort to make sure you're happy in your sex life, he won't be happy in his. I'm sure he'll work out that trying to get without giving will get him nowhere.

Data Backup Solutions
Backup Solutions.
Everyone thinks about backing up their data after it's too late, Don't wait we have several backup solutions available. Perhaps you haven't been backing up your system because you're not really sure how to. Or maybe you have attempted to, but you're not really sure if you're getting all the right data.
What is on your Computer? Family photos and/or videos, personal information, documents, all of your email contacts and saved emails, job resumes, financial records, school projects/homework, the list is endless.
What if you are a Business? All of your business information, customer records and invoices, customer contacts, tax records, again the list is endless.
Your data is the most critical part of your company's network. A recent study discovered that, of companies experiencing a "major loss" of computer records, 43 percent never reopened, 51 percent closed within two years of the loss, and a mere 6 percent survived over the long-term.
We cannot stress enough the importance of miantaining a current backup of your important data that is saved on your computer or laptop. Backups work best when you have multiple copies, at least one of which is both current and offsite.
The reasons for data loss are numerous, such as viruses, application problems, human errors, operating system failure, hard drive failure, natural disaster, fire, flood and many more.
Hard drives do NOT last forever, and they DO have a general lifespan, on average 3 to 5 years. Did you know that Laptop hard drives have a higher failure rate over desktop hard drives? Most laptops lack proper air flow and cooling, and being that they are mobile there is the possibility of hard drive damage from being dropped.
|Symptoms of a Failing Hard Drive :
The best defense is a good offense. We provide several options to help you create and maintain a backup solution in the event of a hardware or software failure. We can help you set up your automated back-ups and remote storage (especially useful in the event of a catastrophic event).
Your back up solution should be automatic, if it's not automatic, the user will have to remember to make periodic backups, or it just never seems to get done. The day that you forget could be the day you loose everything important to you. Many backup solutions, can be set up to do it automatically, so you can just set it and forget it.
Backups should also be tested regularly to make sure that the data is readable and actually restorable!
We can assist you and implement a proper backup routine that will keep your files safe and secure. Remember one of the most important factors of a backup is having a regular routine that is easy to follow – otherwise your important backups will never get done.
Backup solutions for every need.
-We can backup all your important files such as email, Office documents, Pictures, Music and any other critical files you have. These can be burnt onto DVD, copied to a USB thumb drive, or onto another hard drive which could be a portable drive.
– We can also perform a complete backup of your hard drive and data including all your settings, installed programs, and Windows itself. This type of backup is called a clone or image and will ensure a quick recovery of Windows and your entire system when a restore is needed. This makes a system much easier to restore in the event your hard drive becomes corrupt. When an image is restored, the entire drive is put back exactly how it was when the backup was made.
-If a clone or image backup does not exist, then a restoration can be a time consuming affair, reinstalling Windows, Office, and all other programs that you use, as well as trying to remember all of your settings.
A word of Caution: If your computer has a restore partition, or you have a disc labled " Restore Computer To Factory Settings" And you use either of these options you will wipe your current hard drive and restore an image of your computer just like the day you bought it, losing all of your documents, pictures, etc.
Backup Solutions
We offer many different approaches for you to choose for backups.
-External USB hard drives. (We have a wide range of hard drives and external enclosures if you don't already have the hardware you need.)
-Internal hard drives. (Install a second hard drive, for desk tops, to keep your important files backed up.)
-USB Flash Thumb Drive. ( As an example, an 8GB flash drive or thumb drive can hold the equivalent of about 8,000 floppy disks or almost 12 CDs!)
-And automated on-line backup (The most secure and reliable back up, accessible from any Internet connection)

Williamson County crews battled a industrial fire fueled by printer ink Saturday morning.
Crews were called out just after 7 a.m. to the Evergreen Industrial Park on Highway 96 near I-40. By 9:15 a.m., dispatchers said firefighters were working to put out hotspots at the scene.
Officials said Custom Printing Inks LLC on Loblolly Pine Boulevard was damaged. It's not yet clear how the fire started.
A Hazmat unit from Franklin was also called, because of the chemicals involved in the fire. Firefighters said exotic ink and polar solvent were among the chemicals inside.
There were no reports of injuries.
It's the second fire in that area in the past month. A chemical tank caught fire at Fairview Asphalt Products on June 21, sending flames and thick smoke into the air.
The plant wasn't operating at the time, but emergency crews shut down Highway 96, and evacuated several homes for hours.
