Opioid agonists bind to the opioid receptors and provide pain relief. Morphine is a pure opioid agonist whose principal therapeutic action is analgesia. Other members of the class known as opioid agonists include substances such as oxycodone, hydromorphone, fentanyl, codeine, and hydrocodone. Pharmacological effects of opioid agonists include anxiolysis, euphoria, feelings of relaxation, respiratory depression, constipation, miosis, cough suppression, and analgesia. Like all pure opioid agonist analgesics, with increasing doses there is increasing analgesia, unlike with mixed agonist/antagonists or non-opioid analgesics, where there is a limit to the analgesic effect with increasing doses. With pure opioid agonist analgesics, there is no defined maximum dose; the ceiling to analgesic effectiveness is imposed only by side effects, the more serious which may include somnolence and respiratory depression.

I am getting with the RSS Widget the seven days for the current week. Interestingly they have been re-sorted into a different order. I have no idea why we go Sunday, Monday, Friday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday, Saturday.
Is there a way to manage this, or would it be possible to provide an option to no re-sort the feed.

This, officially, is the offseason. It's the start of the football offseason and the end of the baseball offseason and anything that doesn't include the playoffs is the NBA offseason. College basketball is catching its breath before the tournament, which means the only teams with a chance of winning the title are worried as much about health as wins.
So it's February, the eternal offseason.
That used to be a bad thing. It used to be a horrible time for newspaper sports sections and gamblers. But now we should all embrace February, because February has come a long way in the past 10 years. February is the future of sports, where speculation and prognostication is all there is.
No games to get in the way of everybody's brilliance, in other words.
It's been heading this way for some time, ever since sports became a 24-hour operation. There simply aren't enough games, so the space between games had to be filled with opinion and analysis and a special brand of dramatic guessing.
If you don't know what you're talking about, say it a little louder. That way, nobody can tell. And besides, silence doesn't work well on radio or television.
It's February, time for you to let everybody know who you think is going to win and why. It's non-baseball season and non-football season and in-between basketball season, so do yourself a favor: Call a talk show or visit a message board and spread the genius.
Consider it an ode to February, when the offseason reigns.

Central Planners Freaking Out about Discussion of Gold's Role
By Clint Siegner, Money Metals Exchange
Sound money issues make for good politics these days. The leading Republican candidates have all suggested reforms to our monetary system. The topic is popping up in debates as well as interviews. Predictably, Fed worshippers and proponents of central planning everywhere are snickering and trotting out the usual responses.

Oklahoma native nets $15,000 and new Ranger boat in victory
JASPER, Texas - Picking up right where he left off in the semifinals, Mark Goines duplicated his first-place finish in the all-important final round of competition to win the first EverStart tournament of his career. Goines, a native of Shady Point, Okla., could hardly contain his excitement after edging out fellow competitor Wesley Strader for the championship.
"God bless Texas," said Goines, after learning that his 14-pound, 12-ounce catch was good enough for first place. "I love it."
Although many anglers opted to fish the shallows of the Sam Rayburn Reservoir, Goines employed a much different strategy on his way to the championship.
"I think I was doing something a little different than what everyone else was doing," said Goines. "I stayed in one area the whole time and I fished a little bit deeper than most of the others. I just stuck with my game plan and it all worked out."
Although Goines walked away with the top prize, he said he had his doubts coming into the final weigh-in.
"I came to this tournament just hoping to get a check," he said. "I knew I had a good day, but honestly, I wound up with more weight than I thought. It's a big relief to win."
Goines, who flipped a tubebait throughout the tournament using 25-pound test line, said one of the keys to victory was the strength of his partner, co-angler champion Bo Standley.
"Bo was a great partner. It's always a blessing to have a partner who you can work with," said Goines.
Although Goines has had plenty of past success as a fisherman, he said that he will never forget his first EverStart victory.
"This has been a long time coming," said Goines, who quit his job to become a full-time fisherman last year. "I've always wanted to fish for a living and it looks like it's starting to pay off. It's like a dream come true."
Tough luck for Strader
Despite finishing in second place, Wesley Strader of Spring City, Tenn., probably had the most agonizing weigh-in in recent memory. After besting 10th-place finisher Mark Jordan, Strader watched in anxious anticipation as the other eight anglers approached the podium to weigh-in their fish. One by one they all failed to beat Strader's catch of 12 pounds, 7 ounces. However, just when it seemed that Strader would walk away victorious, Goines approached the podium to weigh-in the final stringer.
Goines, the only angler left in the tournament who had a chance of defeating Strader, walked up onto the stage and placed his stringer on the scales. Immediately, Strader knew he was in trouble. And unfortunately for the Tennessee native, his fears were borne out as Goines topped the scales at 14 pounds.
"At first, I didn't think 12-pounds, 7-ounces was good enough to win," said Strader, who took home a check for $10,000. "But when the guys kept coming up and were unable to beat me, I started to think I had a chance. I was really nervous. But in the end, it just wasn't enough."
Despite the tough loss, Strader said it was a thrill to come in second place nonetheless.
"Any time you can compete against these guys and make the top 10, you've got to feel pretty good about your performance," said Strader, who recorded his highest finish in an EverStart tournament to date. "I'm tickled to death to be here. It's been a lot of fun."
Adam Wright of Benton, Ark., finished in third place with a catch of 11 pounds, 15 ounces.
"I didn't lose a fish today," said Wright, who took home a check for $9,000. "But I just couldn't catch the big one I needed."
Darrel Roberston of Jay, Okla., finished fourth with a catch of 10 pounds, 10 ounces. Robertson, who took home a check for $8,000, said that the high water level and small bites prevented him from making a significant run at the championship.
"Every time I come to Sam Rayburn it feels like I'm fishing a new lake," said Robertson of the ever-changing conditions on the famous Texas reservoir. "Unfortunately, I didn't get many big bites today. In fact, I think the biggest fish I caught all week was a three-and-a-half pounder. But overall, I've had a good tournament. It's been fun."
Joel Barber of Brandon, Miss., finished in fifth place with a catch of 10 pounds, 8 ounces. Barber won $7,500 for his efforts.
Rounding out the top-10 finalists were: Shane Allman (sixth) of Sam Rayburn, Texas, with a catch of 10 pounds, 3 ounces; Cody Bird (seventh) of Granbury, Texas, with a catch of 10 pounds; Jim Eakins (eighth) of Nixa, Mo., with a catch of 9 pounds, 8 ounces; Jeff Stevens (ninth) of Terre Haute, Ind., with a catch of 6 pounds, 10 ounces; and Mark Jordan (tenth) of Kevil, Ky., with a catch of 5 pounds, 2ounces.
The next EverStart Series Central Division event is scheduled to take place May 2-5 on Kentucky Lake near Gilbertsville, Ky.

By Buck from Vancleave, MS on July 26, 2013
Pros:Cuts well and lasts long compared to other blades.
Cons:Pricey but ToolsPlus has the best price. Get a discount for buying two at a time but still well over $100 per blade.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
These are very expensive everywhere. I couldn't believe the deal from Tool .com. They are the exact same blades that everyone else is wanting $200. a piece for and we 2 for less than that. Very happy.

$theTitle=wp_title(" - ", false); if($theTitle != "") { ?>
Jason Derulo only released his sophomore album Future History in September but it's already produced four singles for the singer. His latest titled Breathing is more of a risk for the usual four on the floor, R&B meets dance floor pop vocalist. The synths are a little bit rougher and the hook with the modulated chorus of vocals is more edgy than we're used to from Derulo. However, I'm totally digging the track. The track was produced by DJ Frank E who is responsible for Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. album and has also worked with the likes of Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias.
Jason brought on video director Colin Tilley to helm the project who recently worked with Derulo on his video for It Girl. The video definitely takes a walk on Jason's darker side as we see the singer wear a gas mask in a dark and abandoned warehouse of sorts. Jason also takes the opportunity to show off his chiseled bod and glow blue while his insides light up. Jason also shows off his impecable dance moves in between clips of him simulating a seizure in an electric chair. Overall, a whole lot of new stuff going for Jason, but does it work? Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

Now in its 6th year, The Next Stage Theatre Festival (NSTF) is Toronto's premiere winter theatre event featuring work by veteran Canadian theatre artists and the hottest emerging talent in our city. Produced by The Toronto Fringe, the 12 day festival showcases a thrilling variety of theatre from drama to comedy, and musical theatre to a multimedia "live-film" production. The line-up includes 10 productions whose actors, directors and playwrights have been recognized by many prestigious awards including a total of 11 Dora Award Nominations, Canadian Comedy Awards, a Governor General's Award for Drama, and many more.
Shows such as: Awake, created and directed by Chris Tolley & Laura Mullin, a hit of the 2011 Fringe which explores the ripple effect of gangs in an at-risk Toronto community; The Peace Maker, written by Natasha Greenblatt takes us on a journey through Israel and Palestine in search of identity, justice and peace; Sudden Death, by Charlotte Corbeil-Coleman tells the story of the last night of hockey legend John "Rambo" Kordic's life; Throne of Games, from Bad Dog Theatre is a comedic take on the HBO series Game of Thrones; Memorial, by Steven Gallagher follows a man who is about to get married while dealing with the knowledge that he is dying; Post Eden, from playwright and director Jordan Tannahill is a 'live film' about a fantastical day in the life of a fractured suburban family; Salt Baby, by Falen Johnson explores one woman's indigenous Canadian identity as she navigates life on the Rez and in the city as a 'white looking Indian' with fair skin and curly hair; With Love and a Major Organ, by playwright Julia Lederer—the sold-out hit of the 2012 Fringe—examines love, fate, pheromones, and the TTC; Liza Live! by Jennifer Walls is a hilarious and heart-warming look at one of the most dynamic (and dysfunctional) female stars of the last 60 years; and Pitch Blond, by Laura Anne Harris explores Judy Holliday's early career and her notorious courtroom appearance during the McCarthy-era inquisitions.

WELLINGTON, Ala. (AP) - An Alabama woman who founded the string
of Saxon Candy Kitchens that thrived in four Southern states in the
1950s and 1960s has died at 102.
The Gray Brown Service funeral home in Anniston confirmed Wednesday that Cora Saxon died Monday afternoon.
Family members told The Anniston Star that she died from internal bleeding after a fall Saturday night.
Saxon and her husband, Henry Saxon, opened the first Saxon Candy
Kitchen in 1947. Other Saxon Candy Kitchens, known for pecan pralines and chocolates, opened over the next two decades in Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee.
She began selling them after her husband died in 1968.

Altering the pattern pieces: additions are green and subtractions are red. From left to right:
1. I didn't alter the scarf piece at all.
2. On the front, I sloped the shoulder a little more, raised the underarm slightly, and added extra length above the waist as a FBA/posture alteration. This gets eased into the side seam.
3. On the back, I made the shoulder line squarer, cut the armhole deeper, and added some extra CB length and hip width.
4. On the sleeve, I used two sizes bigger than the rest of the pattern. I reshaped the cap to be asymmetric, so that there's less fabric at the front than the back. The underarm seam has also been straightened, since my arms do not get that much thinner at the elbow.

Victor Krasnykh, Ph.D.
Present Title & Affiliation
Primary Appointment
Bio Statement
Dr. Krasnykh's research program includes three main directions: The development of viral vectors for tumor-specific delivery and expression of therapeutic and imaging transgenes, the development of a versatile virus-based platform for anti-cancer vaccination, and the development of targeted imaging probes for cancer detection.
Viral vectors for tumor-specific gene delivery. The focus of these efforts is on achieving efficient, safe, and truly tumor-specific gene delivery and expression. To this end, we modify the natural tropism (tissue specificity) of adenoviruses (Ad) by direct genetic engrafting of tumor-targeting ligands into Ad virion proteins or by designing recombinant bispecific protein adapters that cross-link the viral vector and the target biomarker on tumor cells to enable gene transfer. In addition, we develop a more advanced strategy, which will eventually allow us to build extensive dual-function (protection and targeting) molecular shields on the surface of Ad virions resulting in protection of the virus from neutralization by antibodies, undesired uptake by nontarget tissues, and much improved targeting of tumors.
Virus-based vaccines for anti-cancer immunization. The goal here is to develop a versatile technological platform that will enable rapid generation of self-propagating vaccines that display sets of computationally predicted immunogenic epitopes of tumor-specific antigens (TSA) and are targeted to antigen-presenting cells (APCs) for improved processing . This will be achieved through multivalent presentation of defined TSA epitopes by genetically engrafting these epitopes in major proteins of viral particles. Targeting of these viral vaccines to APCs will be achieved by using the strategies described above.
Tumor-targeted imaging probes . These efforts are centered on using the rationally designed protein scaffolds as a platform for companion imaging diagnostics of cancer. For instance , to make complete surgical removal of disseminated microscopic tumors possible , we are working on developing panels of tumor marker binding probes enabling both the pre-operative detection of tumors by positron emission tomography and the intraoperative localization and identification of tumors by near-infrared imaging .

The mystery passengers travelling on the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 'look like Mario Balotelli'.
The comparison was made at a press conference by the Malaysia's Civil Aviation Authority head Azharuddin Abdul Rahman.
Talking about the two passengers who travelled using stolen passports, Mr Rahman said investigators have checked CCTV footage from check in to departure, and all security protocols were complied with.
But he said there's a possibility of the passengers being involved in a stolen passport syndicate.
He then told the press conference that - contrary to previous reports - they are not Asian-looking males.
Asked by a reporter what the two men looked like who, Mr Rahman replied that they looked like the controversial Italian superstar footballer Mario Balotelli.
Asked if they are black, he replied: "Yes," but then said he does "not want to dwell" on the question.
There were 227 passengers on board, made up of 154 people from China and Taiwain, 38 Malaysians, seven Indonesians, six Australians, five Indians, four French and three Americans.
But it was revealed on Saturday, that two of those on the passenger manifest - Austrian Christian Kozel and Italian Luigi Maraldi - who were not on the plane.
Both had their passports stolen in Thailand during the past two years, and investigators are now trying to establish who was travelling in their place.
Crime agency Interpol has also said its investigations showed there could have been other people with "suspect passports", and is working to find our more about them.
And Malaysian authorities say they are investigating up to four people who they believe could have been travelling with dodgy documents, and have called in the FBI for support.

- Discover the Tulip Festival in Flevoland.
- Explore 100km of roads with signage and nearly 2500 acres of flowering tulip fields.
- National Geographic (2009) has elected this one of the world's most beautiful road trips.
- Enjoy many activities along the longest and most colourful tulip route in Holland.
Discover the longest tulip route in Holland
Windmills, wooden shoes and colourful fields filled with tulips. That is how Holland looks on a postcard. Spring in Holland is marked by flowers and flower bulbs. The most famous places are Keukenhof and the flower-bulb region but Flevoland is not as well-known even though it boasts Holland's longest and most colourful tulip route in the Noordoostpolder!
One of the world's most beautiful routes!
With nearly 5,000 acres worth of red, yellow and purple flower-bulb fields, Flevoland is Holland's biggest flower-growing regions! The fields can be found in East and South Flevoland and, most importantly, the Noordoostpolder. Every year in spring, there is a spectacular 'Flower-bulb route' encompassing over 100km through nearly 2500 acres of flowering fields. The route has become the longest and most colourful route in Holland and even, according to National Geographic, one of the world's ultimate road trips!
Noordoostpolder products
The Tulip Route is marked by signs so it makes for an easy drive. You will pass through many wonderful tulip fields and have the opportunity to enjoy countless activities. Pick your own tulips at the Tulip Picking Garden, for instance, and stop to discover products made in the Noordoostpolder at several farms. You can also admire several gorgeous farm gardens lush with spring bulbs, unique plants and lovely arbours.
VVV tourist office maps
The Tulip Route is available annually from mid-April through May. Inquire at your local VVV tourist office for dates and a comprehensive route description.
Cycle the garden route
Another wonderful idea is to explore the Noordoostpolder on a bicycle. We recommend the 'garden route', which is about 19km long. An excellent way to discover beautiful plants and flowering tulips. The following gardens are part of the route:
- De Stekkentuin. Noordermiddenweg 13, 8311 PZ, Espel
- De Tuinen van Lipke Schat. Polenweg 9, 8314 PL, Bant
- De Goldhoorn Gardens. Klutenweg 13, 8314 PB , Bant
The best place to see tulips in Holland is Keukenhof. Keukenhof is a park with 7 million flower bulbs surrounded by tulip fields.Read more

In the C and C++ programming languages, what is the difference between using angle brackets and using quotes in an
include statement, as follows?
#include <filename>
#include "filename"
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
In the C and C++ programming languages, what is the difference between using angle brackets and using quotes in an
The difference is in the location where the preprocessor searches for the included file.
The only way to know is to read your implementation's documentation.
In the C standard, section 6.10.2, paragraphs 2 to 4 state:
The sequence of characters between < and > uniquely refer to a header, which isn't necessarily a file. Implementations are pretty much free to use the character sequence as they wish. (Mostly, however, just treat it as a file name and do a search in the include path, as the other posts state.)
If the
Also, a third form exists and is used when the
Some good answers here make references to the C standard but forgot the POSIX standard, especially the specific behavior of the c99 (e.g. C compiler) command.
According to The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7,
So, in a POSIX compliant environment, with a POSIX compliant C compiler,
It does:
with . being either the the directory of the file where the #include is contained in, and/or the current working directory of the compiler, and/or the defaultincludepaths
The 2011 standard mostly discusses the include files in "16.2 Source file inclusion".
Note that
At least for GCC version <= 3.0, the angle-bracket form does not generate a dependency between the included file and the including one.
So if you want to generate dependency rules (using the GCC -M option for exemple), you must use the quoted form for the files that should be included in the dependency tree.
By the standard - yes, they are different:
Note that the standard does not tell any relation between the implementation-defined manners. The first form searches in one implementation-defined way, and the other in a (possibly other) implementation-defined way. The standard also specifies that certain include files shall be present (for example,
Formally you'd have to read the manual for your compiler, however normally (by tradition) the
#include<> is for predefined header files
If the header file is predefined then you would simply write the header file name in angular brackets, and it would look like this (assuming we have a predefined header file name iostream):
#include <iostream>
#include " " is for header files the programmer defines
If you (the programmer) wrote your own header file then you would write the header file name in quotes. So, suppose you wrote a header file called myfile.h, then this is an example of how you would use the include directive to include that file:
#include "myfile.h"
An #include with angle brackets will search an "implementation-dependent list of places" (which is a very complicated way of saying "system headers") for the file to be included.
An #include with quotes will just search for a file (and, "in an implementation-dependent manner", bleh). Which means, in normal English, it will try to apply the path/filename that you toss at it and will not prepend a system path or tamper with it otherwise.
Also, if #include "" fails, it is re-read as #include <> by the standard.
The gcc documentation has a (compiler specific) description which although being specific to gcc and not the standard, is a lot easier to understand than the attorney-style talk of the ISO standards.
example: the filename here is Seller.h
In the class implementation (ex. Seller.cpp, and in other files that will use the file Seller.h), the header defined by the user should now be included, as follows:
The simple general rule is to use angled brackets to include header files that come with the compiler. Use double quotes to include any other header files. Most compilers do it this way.
1.9 — Header files explains in more detail about pre-processor directives. If you are a novice programmer, that page should help you understand all that. I learned it from here, and I have been following it at work.
Many of the answers here focus on the paths the compiler will search in order to find the file. While this is what most compilers do, a conforming compiler is allowed be preprogrammed with the effects of the standard headers, and to treat, say,
This is not purely hypothetical. There is at least one compiler that work that way. Using
Thanks for the great answers, esp. Adam Stelmaszczyk and piCookie, and aib.
Like many programmers, I have used the informal convention of using the "myApp.hpp" form for application specific files, and the < libHeader.hpp > form for library and compiler system files, i.e. files specified in /I and the INCLUDE environment variable, for years thinking that was the standard.
However, the the C standard states that the search order is implementation specific, which can make portability complicated. To make matters worse, we use jam, which automagically figures out where the include files are. You can use relative or absolute paths for your include files. i.e.
Older versions of MSVS required double backslashes (\\), but now that's not required. I don't know when it changed. Just use forward slashes for compatibility with 'nix (Windows will accept that).
Here's the msdn explanation copied here for your convenience).
In C++, include a file in two ways:
The first one is #include which tells the preprocessor to look for the file in the predefined default location. This location is often an INCLUDE environment variable that denotes the path to include files.
And the second type is #include "filename" which tells the preprocessor to look for the file in the current directory first, then look for it in the predefined locations user have set up.
I believe that headers included in double-quotes will be looked for the in same system paths as angle-bracketed includes if they are not found in the current directory.
The order of search header files is different. <XXX.h> prefer to search the standard headers first while "XXX.h" searches the workspace's header files first.

Winfrith Atomic Energy Establishment (or AEE Winfrith) was a United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority site near Winfrith Newburgh in Dorset. It covered an area on Winfrith Heath to the west of the village of Wool between the A352 road and the London Waterloo to Weymouth railway line. It was home to a demonstration steam-generating heavy water reactor (SGHWR) providing power to the National Grid, as well as to a nuclear research facility.
Nuclear research[edit]
Winfrith Atomic Energy Establishment was built for the construction and operation of experimental and research reactors.[1] Construction began in 1957, and the first low-energy reactor (ZENITH) was completed and in operation by the end of 1959.[1] This was quickly followed by two others (NESTOR) in 1961 and (DIMPLE) in 1962.[1] The last reactor was shut down in 1995, although decommissioning of the site will not finish till 2021.[2] Winfrith housed several experimental reactors during its lifetime. There were also impact test facilities, and a used nuclear fuel examination facility with the associated hot cells.
Experimental reactors included:
- ZENITH (Zero Energy High Temperature Reactor) built in 1959. It was a zero-energy reactor which was used to study the physics of high temperature reactors.[3]
- NESTOR (Neutron Source Thermal Reactor) built in 1961. Based on the JASON reactor operated by the Hawker Siddeley Nuclear Power Corporation at Langley, Berkshire.[4] NESTOR was a small research reactor which produced a large amount of neutrons making it a useful tool for investigating the design of power-producing reactors and carrying out sub-critical experiments on core assemblies.[4]
- DIMPLE (Deuterium Moderated Pile of Low Energy) built in 1962. Originally built at Harwell in 1954, Dimple was Britain's first heavy water reactor.[5] It was moved to Winfrith in 1962 and extensively modified and rebuilt for studies of the physics of reactor systems moderated by light or heavy water and by an organic moderator.[6]
- ZEBRA (Zero Energy Breeder Reactor Assembly) built in 1962. Designed for studying the neutron physics of a wide variety of fuel assemblies containing uranium and plutonium.[7]
- HECTOR (Hot Enriched Carbon-moderated Thermal Oscillator Reactor) built in 1963. Designed to examine the suitability of various materials for use in power reactors.[8]
- JUNO, built in 1964. Built from the components of a zero-energy graphite moderated reactor called NERO, and from a sub-critical assembly used for steam generating heavy water reactor investigations, it was used to provide the information needed for the design of small power reactor cores.[9]
- Dragon. The Dragon reactor was built in 1964.[1] It was the first power reactor built at Winfrith.[1] It was an experimental reactor built as a European inter-governmental research and development project.[1] It was the first demonstration high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) and had a thermal output of 20 MW. It operated until 1976.
Winfrith Steam Generating Heavy Water Reactor[edit]
The largest reactor at Winfrith was a steam-generating heavy water reactor (SGHWR) commonly known as the Winfrith Reactor.[1] It was designed by the UKAEA, and was intended to combine the features of the CANDU reactor and PWR.[10] The core consisted of a bank of metal pressure tubes (zirconium alloy) which passed through vertical tubes in a tank of heavy water moderator – allowing the designers to do without the pressure vessel that normally contained the reactor's core.[11] The pressure tubes contained the fuel which was cooled by a flow of light water up the tubes, generating steam.[11] The fuel was slightly enriched uranium.[11] The power level was varied by the level of the moderator.[12] The reactor exported up to 100 MW of electric power to the National Grid.[11] For many years it was the largest water cooled reactor in the United Kingdom.[1]
Construction of the reactor began in 1963.[1] It began operating in 1967,[12] and was notable for being built within the allotted timescale (four years), and for being under-budget.[13] It was built as a demonstration reactor,[12] with the intention of building a series of commercial reactors based on the design.[10] However, the SGHWR design was never advanced beyond the prototype at Winfrith,[12] and the design was sidelined in favour of AGR reactors.[10] The Winfrith reactor was shut down in 1990.[12]
The site today[edit]
The site is now split between the nuclear licensed site, the extensive Dorset Green Technology Park (formerly Winfrith Technology Centre) and the headquarters of the Dorset Police, whose police helicopter is based there.
Ownership of the Winfrith Nuclear site has now passed to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA). The site is managed by Research Sites Restoration Limited (RSRL)[2] who are contracted to deliver the site decommissioning programme. RSRL is a subsidiary of Cavendish Nuclear Limited, part of Babcock International Group.

The apartment was really clean and had all the facilities you would need. Dominik was very helpful and even organised our transport to the airport on our day of checking out. Great air conditioning also! The outside of the apartment block itself isn't the nicest. It's very dark at night with no lighting as you walk upstairs. But once you get inside the apartment it is lovely.

ADHD in Children Health Center
Tonsil Surgery Helps Kids With ADHD
April 3, 2006 -- New research suggests a surprising potential treatment for at least some children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder -- surgical removal of the tonsils.
Children in the study who had their tonsils removed showed improvements in both behavior and sleeping, and half of those diagnosed with ADHD prior to surgery no longer had the diagnosis a year later.
The University of Michigan study included 78 children who had their tonsils and adenoids removed and 27 children who had unrelated surgery.
Prior to surgery, behavior and sleep problems were much more common among the children with the sleep breathing issues. By the end of the study, a year after surgery, tests showed little difference between the two groups.
"These findings help support the idea that sleep-disordered breathing is actually helping to cause behavioral problems in children, and making them sleepy," says Ronald D. Chervin, MD, one of the researchers.
Chervin tells WebMD that it is not clear how many children with ADHD also have undiagnosed sleep-related breathing problems, but he says a "substantial minority" might.
Enlarged Tonsils Cause Sleep Problems
Chervin and colleagues had previously reported that children who snore have a higher incidence of ADHD and other attention and behavior-related problems.
Snoring is the most common symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when breathing stops and starts repeatedly during the night. This usually happens because the throat is narrowed or blocked, keeping air from getting into the windpipe and lungs.
Enlarged adenoids and tonsils are often to blame when a child has OSA. It is estimated that about 1% to 3% of children have the condition.
In their latest study, published in the April issue of the journal Pediatrics, the researchers conducted sleep testing on children with and without suspected sleep-disordered breathing, as well as behavioral, cognitive, and psychiatric testing.
All children were assessed upon study entry, prior to the removal of the tonsils and adenoids, and then again a year after surgery. Parents also completed standardized questionnaires designed to assess their child's behavior.
Although the children who had their adenoids and tonsils out scored worse than the other children on behavioral tests before the surgery, scores among the two groups were similar a year later.
Of the 22 children in the adenotonsillectomy group who had been diagnosed with ADHD, 11 no longer met the conditions for the behavioral disorder a year after surgery.
