SNELLVILLE -- Now smartphone addicts can do something good with all that texting.
The Snellville Police Department announced Thursday a new initiative allowing concerned citizens to send crime tips to the department via text message, creating a two-way dialogue that remains "completely secure and anonymous."
Using a software called TipSoft, residents can text tips to "CRIMES" (274637) with the keyword "SNELLPD."
"The widespread use of text messaging makes it easy for the public to help law enforcement agencies fight crime," Chief Roy Whitehead said. "And with TipSoft, they can know that it's safe for them to do the right thing without ever disclosing their identity."
Potential tipsters are encouraged to use the software to report "non-urgent illegal activity" like vandalism, theft, the sale or distribution of drugs, and information regarding unsolved cases or planned crimes. The service allows users to remain anonymous by encrypting text messages, assigning them a unique alias and routing them through secure servers, officials said.
"The Snellville Police Department is demonstrating its commitment to the public and to public safety by using technology to prevent, reduce and solve crime," said Greg Whisenant, the CEO of TipSoft maker CrimeReports. "With TipSoft, agencies can invite the public to take an active role in making their communities safer."

NEW YORK (WABC) -- The remarkable story of a young transgender man trapped in a girl's body, who made the decision at age 16 to become a boy.
Aiden Kaplan is now a 20-year-old college student. What's even more amazing, he documented his transsexual transition on Facebook.
For the first time, Kaplan is telling his story.
This story evolved in the wake of a story Eyewitness News did of fired transgender teacher who just became public at age 59. READ PREVIOUS STORY Her only regret is that she didn't do it sooner.
Aiden Kaplan, born Meghan, did make a change early as a teenager with the full support of his mother.
"It's the best feeling to look down and feel my body matched my brain," said Aiden.
It's an extraordinary journey that 20-year-old Aiden Kaplan decided to make public on Facebook, documenting his transition from a girl, Meghan, to a boy.
"When did you realize you were a boy trapped in a girl's body, When did you know that you wanted to be a boy?" Sarah Wallace asked.
"I think it's always inside of you," Aiden said.
"You were a tomboy?" Wallace asked.
"Completely, but I had this irrational fear of being feminine, When I was little people would call me her or she and I hated it," Aiden said, "It was pretty much the summer between 9th and 10th that I was at the edge of a cliff and it was either jump and hope that you can fly or fall. And I had to try."
"So you went freshman year as a girl and came back as a boy?" Wallace said.
"Yeah. And it was the best decision I ever made," Aiden said.
But his mother, who's been completely supportive, does admit her son's announcement initially came as a complete shock.
"He was a tomboy, the stereotypical tomboy. I never knew that he was really a boy trapped in a girl's body," said Lori Shea, Aiden's mother.
"So all of a sudden, he just said to you, I'm transgender?" Wallace asked.
"Yeah. And we were actually having a family gathering and he was sitting on the stairs leading up to the bedroom, and matter of fact, said,"I'm transgender," Shea said.
"Is it hard?" Wallace asked.
"Oh, my God, of course it's hard, but harder is seeing your child in pain. They're not in the body they're supposed to be and it's not just a physical issue, it's mentally," Shea said.
There were months of consultations with doctors and therapists. Aiden then started hormone blockers after living for a year as a male, and finally got surgery to remove his breasts.
"I had them removed and it was the most liberating experience. And I've had everything pretty much from underneath my arms to my knees re-sculpted," Aiden said.
He admits he had plenty of fears which he posted in a remarkable YouTube video called&"I am afraid of". WATCH YOUTUBE VIDEO
"It was one way to share these fears that I was having. I was so afraid to share with anybody." He continues "I'm still the same person as I was before I transitioned. I just have different exterior. And that's the most important thing to prove to someone is that we're all still people," Aiden said.
"And he's the person he's supposed to be and he's living his life. I couldn't be more proud of him and I can't wait to see what he's going to do," Shea said.

This is one of the many "sulfate-free" shampoos I've tried over the months. I normally use Pureology Hydrate but it's expensive so I try to look for cheaper alternatives. I tried the Everpure Smooth one also and the "Volume" shampoo is better in terms of giving my hair more volume, more lift at the roots as well as more bounce and swing. The Everpure Smooth one left my hair a bit weighed down with the hair laying more flat against my scalp.
Consistency is thick and rich and forms a smooth, rather than bubbly, lather. A little goes a long way and I only need to use less than a quarter size to clean my scalp. I have waist length hair but I don't use the shampoo on the whole length, just my scalp. I'm not too crazy about the scent although it doesn't last long on me. It cleans my scalp very well without it feeling stripped. I didn't notice any build-up or static that some people have experienced. I have medium textured as opposed to "fine" hair so I'm not sure if it has anything to do with one's hair type.
NOTE: In my experience, most volumizing shampoos tend to leave my hair a bit dry and this shampoo was no exception. So, instead of using the conditioner that pairs with this (which I found wasn't moisturizing enough), I use Loreal's Evercreme Intense Moisturizing Conditioner instead and only on the last 4-5 inches of my hair. The result is nothing short of fantastic: Non greasy roots and moisturized, tangle-free ends that lasts up to 2 days. It's a win, win for me.

I bought this shampoo and the conditioner that comes with it because of its lack of sulfates. My hair is fine and has been bleached, so it was very frizzy and hard to comb out even after using conditioner. Already after the first time of usage, my hair felt a lot better. The shampoo didn't dry out my hair, and the scent of the conditioner is soo freshening. I don't think it has a huge volumizing effect, but it still kind of adds a little more 'airy' feeling to my hair when it's dry. These products have really softened and strengthened my hair, and they are definitely worth the money, especially because a little of it goes a long way - so it's not that expensive anyways. I'm definitely continuing to use them as long as I can.

This really is a fantastic shampoo for my hair! I have never actually used a shampoo & conditioner that has made my hair feel so soft and clean after every wash. L'Oreal's new Everpure volume range is amazing. I have very long fine/naturally poker straight hair so finding a shampoo that keeps my hair in good condition and adds volume is ideal. I happened upon this shampoo when staying at my aunts house a few months ago, I had never seen the range before and was intrigued! I was so amazed by the result that when I got home I bought some straight away. The price is a little expensive compared with other high street brands however I keep paying it as it is worth it! My hair feels really clean and baby soft for days, plus it looks shiny and just feels healthy. A lot of people have commented on its healthy look recently. I would highly recommend both the shampoo and the conditioner to anyone as it is probably the best one I have ever used. It is said to use natural ingredients with few chemicals making it purer. To be honest I think you can really tell, the mint in the conditioner actually tingles my hair and feels like it is working straight away. Try try try!!

I really love this shampoo! Not so much for its volumizing abilities (didn´t notice much of that), but because I have the feeling that it cleans really thoroughly without being harsh at all, and it produces a wonderful soft and silky lather. Afterwards, my hair feels clean and it doesn´t lack moisture or shine, as it can happen after other volumizing shampoos. Also the scent is nice, and I prefer its slight herb-y aroma to other overly fruity or sweet scents. Will definitely buy again!

I needed a sulfate free shampoo so I grabbed this one. I love the fresh scent and it seems to do a good job; however, it has caused MAJOR back acne. I'd tried this brand, different formula before and couldn't remember why I didn't rebuy, now I remember -- ACNE. Not sure what it contains that causes my breakouts but it is definitely the cause. bummer!

My favorite, holy grail shampoo. It cleans my hair without stripping my scalp of its oils and leaves a wonderful scent. I don't really notice a "volumizing" effect but it gives a little more boost than a regular shampoo. I have been using this EverPure line for years and will continue to repurchase. As a side note, I have very straight and thick hair.

I've always had very healthy and fine, but strong, hair. Until I started using this shampoo. I bought it to protect my hair color, but it turned out to be a huge mistake. I didn't realize it was drying out my hair and causing it to break. Now my hair is frizzy and thin and it's breaking like crazy. Ugh. I went back to my cheap Herbal Essances and my hair is starting to feel better now. I do NOT recommend the EverPure shampoo or the conditioner.

There have been quite a few reviews that mention drying out the hair, I bought it in the hopes that it WOULD dry out my super oily hair! I love that it is sulphate free. I only used it once so far but so far so good, I didn't even need conditioner (which I didn't buy) which is shocking for me as my hair is usually a rats nest to comb out while wet if I don't use conditioner!
So far this stuff gets an A+++ from me, will update if any major issues chance my review.

I've also reviewed the conditioner that goes with this -I really like them both, separately but weirdly, I don't think they work as a pair
I really like this shampoo. It smells gorgeous (fresh, slightly minty), and feels like a lovely luxury to apply -despite being a sulphate free cleaser, you only needed a teeny tiny amount of it to lather & cleanse really well. However after a few weeks I was somewhat disappointed to see that my hair was quite a bit flatter -it wasn't exactly limp, but it didn't have the amount of life it had before, and didn't feel as 'swishy', plus I was getting odd spot-like bumps in my scalp quite often.
It took me a while to work out what probably happened is that because the shampoo doesn't have sulphates but the conditioner that goes with it does have silicones, they weren't being washed out (as only harsher sulphate cleansers get rid of them properly) -so unfortunately the fact that this is lovely and gentle means they don't work together for me, despite being a pair.
As with the conditioner the is packaging attractive -not ridiculously girly, not bulky and easy to open in the shower. It didn't open in my wash bag when I went away & wasn't too hard to get the last of it out, with a bit of persuasion.
If I bought this again (I'd be tempted, as with the conditioner, if it was on offer) I'd try teaming it with a silicone free conditioner (mostly found in the natural organic ranges)

My hair is naturally flat and fine, and this stuff made it even flatter and finer. I don't know, I guess its just not for me. On the upside, it does smell pretty good and I don't see how it could damage the hair. Seems gentle. But its just way too conditioning for my hair type. Maybe good for a coarser hair. Not sure.

Full description for The Ancient Near East
The Ancient Near East embraces a vast geographical area, from the borders of Iran and Afghanistan in the east to the Levant and Anatolia, and from the Black Sea in the north to Egypt in the south. It was a region of enormous cultural, political and linguistic diversity. In this authoritative new study, Amelie Kuhrt examines its history from the earliest written documents to the conquest of Alexander the Great, c.3000-330 BC. This work dispels many of the misapprehensions which have surrounded the study of the region. It provides a lucid, up-to-date narrative which takes into account the latest archaeological and textual discoveries and deals with the complex problems of interpretation and methodology. The Ancient Near East is an essential text for all students of history of this region and a valuable introduction for students and scholars working in related subjects. Winner of the AHO's 1997 James Henry Breasted Award.

Daniel Cleburne Reeves's Journal
Au revoir
Written Nov 14, 2013 7:49pm
Greetings from the Reeves Five! We thank you for your continued prayers for our family and I'm pleased to report Daniel is doing great. We did have a bit of excitement back in September when blood was visible in his urine. I rushed Daniel to his pediatrician where tests were run immediately. Though doctors are baffled as to what may have caused the bloody specimen, it has not recurred and Daniel's CBC (complete blood count) continues to testify to the blessed healing of his leukemia. We are ever grateful and I'm with Daniel, who following his last oncology visit in July said, "Mom, I really don't want to ever have to go through all this again." However, we also acknowledge that it's through "all this", that we have been brought so much closer to each other and, most especially, to our Savior.While I was certainly apprehensive on Wednesday, September 18, I think the Lord is making a good cowgirl out of me as He continuously provides opportunities for me to "lasso" my out-of-control thoughts. II Corinthians 10:5 says, "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." The Greek word for "take captive" that Paul was divinely led to use when he wrote to his friends at Corinth is "aichmalótizó." Its implication is not a passive imprisonment, but rather an aggressive strategy to "subdue by sword." God commands me to deal with my thought life and He's provided the weapon. Ephesians 6:17 says, "…the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Looking over the 299 entries recorded in this CaringBridge journal for Daniel and Caroline, I'm reminded of how I wanted to intentionally incorporate Scripture into each one because I desire our children to see that we cannot fight any battle in life without the weapon of God's Word.Lord willing, this will be my last CB post. My biggest fan, Lee, has encouraged me to move my "Mommy journaling" into another format and we are pleased to share that with you today. Know you are dearly loved and we consider you our "extended family." We hope you will accept our invitation and join us as we continue to share our laughs, our cries, and our learning: http://rememberyourraisin.com. -
Written Apr 30, 2013 5:28pm
The carpool line shortened, and I could see Caroline and Daniel anxiously awaiting my arrival. Our firstborn was the first to hop in and fasten her seatbelt. She looked at me with eyes widened, "Mom, you are not going to believe what Sally said Jason texted her." "What?" I asked, not exactly sure where this might lead. Caroline leaned toward me and whispered, "He called her a.... " Caroline hesitated, inhaled deeply and relayed each letter somberly, "Jason called her a P-I-T-C-H!" Suppressing my urge to giggle, I pulled over and hugged Caroline. "Sweetheart," I said, "I am so thankful you and Daniel are always willing to share things with Mommy and Daddy. But I believe the word Jason called Sally begins with the letter 'b' and, you're right, it is not a nice word at all." "Oh," Daniel chimed in, "like the 's' word." Which, in our family, is still the word "stupid."
Driving home, I rejoiced in the innocence of our twins. I also thanked the Lord for a husband who has chosen to remain on the same page in our parenting. We desire our speech to be edifying to the Lord and to others so we are conscious of the words we use to express ourselves. And we want to equip our children to make wise choices and be guarded in what they watch with their eyes, listen to with their ears and with the actions they take. We have resisted purchasing iPhones for Caroline and Daniel until we train them in how to maintain a covenant with their eyes and ears. To further ensure this safeguard, I have a basket next to our front door into which visiting friends drop their "smart" phones. Lee and I are certainly not defectless parents, but we are choosing to be deliberate in how we raise these three blessings God has permitted us to steward in this season.
Understand that we do not want our trio to be naive. Innocence and purity come by choice, not by ignorance. We live in a fallen world. Cursing happens. So does cancer. Today is the sixth anniversary of Daniel's diagnosis. It is full awareness of all the heartache and hurt in this world that makes me ever more thankful for the cross of Christ Jesus. "For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures," (I Corinthians 15: 3-4). In Him, our hope remains fixed, fastened, and secure.
The Reeves Five
Written Mar 18, 2013 9:19pm
Much has transpired since I posted in June of last year. Daniel returns to Levine Children's Hospital every three months and is doing extremely well. During the summer, Lee and I were hiking up the Eiffel Tower with Caroline and Daniel, visiting the Arc de Triomphe, touring Versailles and learning to appreciate even more the sacrifices of our WWII heroes during our stay in Normandy. This fall, the children and I flew to Boston while Lee attended an Executive Management Program at Harvard Business School and, on Groundhog Day, February 2, 2013, we welcomed Miss Harrison McClary Reeves into our family!
These past six weeks for the Reeves Five have been both rewarding and challenging. I am counting on my CaringBridge family to continue your prayers for us. After Mommy and baby received the "all clear" for discharge from the maternity ward at Lake Norman Regional Hospital, we arrived home on Super Bowl Sunday, February 3, in time for kickoff! My precious parents, Clebe and Deanna McClary, had driven from South Carolina to stay with Caroline and Daniel and relieve my friend, Joyce Burke, who had rushed to our house about 2 AM Saturday. I romanticized a homecoming that had the twins immediately embracing their little sister and welcoming her home to our family. Perhaps my glasses were a little too rosy. As Lee and I crossed the threshold carrying our seven-pound, ten-and-a-half pound newborn, she was screaming at the top of her lungs and, generally, making a strong first impression. Daniel greeted us curiously and studied the tiny hospital bracelet still around Harrison's wrist. Obviously annoyed with her crying, Daniel looked up at me pointing to Harrison's wristband: "Is that her return tag?" He then raced upstairs to his room crying and slammed the door.
Needless to say, Daniel is now the first to kiss his baby sister before school and number one in line asking to hold her when he gets home. Just among us friends, I would ask you specifically to pray for Caroline. Daniel is a much easier read for me than his twin sister. Caroline, the consummate cheerleader, has encouraged her brother through his treatment and now has another girl to get used to in the family.
On Saturday, the twins turn twelve. While I truly savor most mommy-hood moments, guiding two hormonally challenged children into puberty; putting oodles of miles on the car as I drive them to and from tennis, lacrosse, and school; breastfeeding Harrison every few hours; and desiring to keep my marriage at the top of it all can be daunting. But, whenever I take my focus off my heavenly Father and attempt to look at life from the middle of my circumstances, I am always discouraged and sense I am drowning. It never fails. Real spiritual maturity and success is seeking the Lord's perspective on my circumstances. He loves me and has planned for my best. When I feel like Daniel and seek a "no hassle return policy" on the irritations of life, I am reminded that God most effectively uses those times to bring a greater revelation of Who He is.
King Jehoshaphat responded well in II Chronicles 20:12 when he said: "O our God ...we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You." How thankful I am that my parents instilled in me the importance of keeping my gaze on Jesus. Faced with sleep deprivation and preteen drama, it isn't hard to contrast the balloons and laughter I found in the maternity ward to the antiseptic smell and silence I remember from the pediatric oncology clinic. We have been truly blessed, and I am grateful.

Cyclosporin Implant to Treat Uveitis

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a sustained-release cyclosporin implant to treat uveitis, a sight-threatening eye inflammation caused by an immune system abnormality. Previous studies in humans have shown that, taken by mouth, the drug cyclosporin is effective in treating chronic uveitis.
Uveitis may require long-term treatment with potent immune-suppressing drugs, such as cyclosporin, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, azathioprine or steroids. Taken systemically (by mouth or injection), however, these drugs can do serious damage to the kidneys, liver or lungs, and can raise blood pressure and lower blood cell counts. Because of this, some patients cannot or will not use these medicines.
This small pilot study will evaluate the safety, and to some extent effectiveness, of cyclosporin delivered directly into the eye, to try to prevent harmful side effects. In animal studies, sustained-release cyclosporin implants did not cause the severe side effects seen with systemic use of the drug. Some animals developed opacity of the lens and slowed retinal responses, both of which reversed when the drug was stopped. Earlier animal studies of cyclosporin injected directly into the eye reduced inflammation that had been produced experimentally.
Patients with uveitis who have active inflammation and poor vision are eligible to participate in this study. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One group will receive a 1-mg implant that releases 0.8 micrograms of drug each day; the second group will receive a 2-mg implant that delivers 1.4 micrograms of drug a day.
Before surgery, patients will have a medical history, basic physical examination, and complete eye examination, including special tests called electroretinogram and fluorescein angiography. An electroretinogram measures the electrical responses generated in the retina in the back of the eye. Fluorescein angiography uses a special camera to photograph the retina, showing the condition of the blood vessels in the eye.
The surgical procedure to place the implant takes about 1.5 hours and may be done under either local or general anesthesia. Patients will stay in the hospital overnight. After discharge from the hospital, they will return for follow-up visits 1 and 2 weeks after surgery, then once a month for 6 months, and then every 3 months until the implant is depleted of drug or removed. During these follow-up visits, eye examinations will be repeated to evaluate the effects of the implant on the eye. Repeat blood tests will measure the amount of cyclosporin in the blood and the drug's effect on the kidneys. When the implant runs out of drug (between 2 and 3 years), it may be removed or left in place.

Official Title: | A Pilot Study of a Sustained-Release Cyclosporine A Implant for Uveitis |
Estimated Enrollment: | 10 |
Study Start Date: | May 1998 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | March 2004 |
Sight threatening uveitis may require long term use of systemic immunosuppressants. In some patients, aggressive systemic immunosuppressive therapy fails to control inflammation and can lead to serious side effects. Oral Cyclosporin A (CsA) has been shown in several human trials to be effective in treating chronic uveitis. This pilot study will assess the safety, and to some extent efficacy, of a novel intraocular CsA release implant in patients with active inflammation and poor visual acuity in one eye despite immunosuppressant therapy. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive in one eye a 1 or 2 mg CsA implant releasing at either 0.8 microgram per day or 1.4 microgram per day respectively. The main purpose of the study is to assess the safety of the CsA implant. Secondary outcomes will include a change from baseline in the ocular inflammation, visual acuity, and the need for concomitant anti-inflammatory medications.
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Age range: 15 or older.
Active non-infectious intermediate, posterior or panuveitis present for at least 6 months despite systemic immunosupressive therapy including at least 20 mg of oral prednisone or use of another immunosuppressive agent.
Visual acuity worse than 20/80 (55 letters) and better than 5/200 (4 letters) in the eye to receive the CsA implant, and better than 20/80 (54 letters) in the non-study eye.
Bilateral or unilateral uveitis with active inflammation in one eye only (eye to be implanted). Patients may continue systemic immunosuppressants with the exception of systemic CsA. Patients may not take greater than 1 drop of topical steroid four times a day in the eye to be implanted for maintenance of anterior segment inflammation after 1 month postoperatively.
Recordable electroretinogram (ERG).
Willingness and the ability, with assistance of a care giver, if necessary, to comply with treatment and follow-up procedures.
The ability to understand and sign an informed consent form which must be obtained prior to treatment.
Negative serum pregnancy test (females of childbearing potential only).
Normal serum creatinine (males 0.9 - 1.4 mg/dL, females 0.7 - 1.3 mg/dL).
No current or past history of retinal detachment.
Current or past history of retinal detachment.
Pregnant or lactating patients or patients with potential for conception unless using effective contraception. Fertile males must use effective contraception. Contraception would no longer be mandatory for participation in this study at three months postoperatively assuming (1) negligible CsA absorption, (2) patient is not taking any other medications that may affect a developing fetus or spermatogenesis.
Patients who received therapy within the previous one week with any nephrotoxic drugs.
Patients having a known allergy to CsA.
Patients receiving current therapy with CsA. Patients need to be off of systemic CsA seven days prior to implant surgery. Patients may continue other immunosuppressive therapies if needed to control inflammation in contralateral (non-study) eye provided the inflammation is currently not active.

It is argued that the best way to model an edge is by assuming all ideal mathematical function passed through a low-pass filter and and immersed in noise. Using techniques similar to those developed by J. Canny (1983, 1986) and L.A. Spacek (1986), optimal filters are derived for ramp edges of various slopes. The optimal nonrecursive filter for ideal step edges is then derived as a limiting case of the filters for ramp edges. Because there are no step edges in images, edge detection is improved when the ramp filter is used instead of the filters developed for step edges. For practical purposes, some convolution masks are given which can be used directly for edge detection without the need to go into the details of the subject.

Title: Sledgehammer -- Medical Fiction Thriller at Its Best Word Count: 343 Summary: Paulo Reyes' new fiction book deals with the possibility of a terrorist attack whereby terrorists have used smallpox against us. It's a medical fiction thriller that begs to ask the question what if? Keywords: terrorist, smallpox, fiction book, non-fiction book, best selling fiction book, Paulo Reyes, biochemical attack, smallpox vaccine, disaster recovery, thriller, terrorism Article Body: Looking for a good fiction book to read? Look no further. This medical thriller will have you glued to every page as the drama unfolds and an ER doctor must stop a biochemical nightmare from happening. 6 days … 6 days to stop an epidemic and convince the government that terrorists have indeed used smallpox as a weapon against us. When one of the terrorists shows up in the ER with symptoms, time is of the essence to convince higher ups and the government that indeed this is the dreaded once thought eradicated disease smallpox. If not for the quick action and prior medical expertise of the main character, Dr. Max Kroose, fatalities could be in the millions. What makes the book even more interesting is that the events unfolding in the ER symbolize real events that occur in emergency rooms daily. The author, Dr. Paulo J. Reyes, is a practicing Emergency Room Doctor and First Responder to disasters in Los Angeles, California with a medical career spanning 25 years.
