For more than 25 years, CureSearch has been a leader in funding children's cancer research. During this time, overall cure rates have increased from approximately 40% to 80%. But, for many of the more rare cancers, cure rates remain unchanged. During this same time, only 2 drugs have been specifically developed for children's cancer, a number that is simply not acceptable. Today, as they did decades ago, children are treated using medications developed for adults, but in much higher doses. With decades to live after treatment, children often experience significant side effects and secondary cancers later in life.
Now, the field is changing. Advances in genomics are enabling researchers to understand more and more about the various types of children's cancer – from how they begin at the cellular level to what impact specific therapeutic agents have. Such understanding is expected to lead quickly to new, targeted treatments, if funding is available.
To help us define and launch a new scientific vision, CureSearch convened a Scientific Advisory Council featuring some of the brightest and most innovative thinkers in the cancer research field. Together, this venerable group has set a strong vision for how CureSearch might stand at the intersection of medical, scientific, and commercial sectors to bring patients to the forefront as we solve for a cure. In partnership, we have articulated the following scientific vision:
CureSearch will accelerate the cure for children's cancer by driving innovation, eliminating research barriers, and solving the field's most intractable problems.
CureSearch will continue to fund collaborative clinical trials so that children in treatment today have access to the latest medicines at hospitals close to home.
Ultimately, CureSearch hopes to change the odds for those children who are most at risk.

The console is much smaller than its direct competitor and 50 percent more powerful. The power brick is incorporated in the console despite the slim factor. After Sony announced the ram type there was discussion how and if they would be able to fit 16 4Gb GDDR5 chips in the console, the product would be rather colossal. The Xbox One is a huge console, and weeks prior to E3 everyone was certain the PS4 with its better specs would be of a similar size, if not even bigger.
Even Yoshida was amazed by its smallness:
"We were heavily involved in designing the DualShock 4 even at the time that no idea existed, because it's the interface," Yoshida said. "We were there as a team. But the box, it's just a box. When I finally saw it, it was near-final and I was amazed by the thinness and lightness of it. It looked already like the second generation of a console. I compared it to the second generation of the PS3. On PS4, first-gen is almost exactly the same dimensions. More than the aesthetics of it, the smallness of it. I am so psyched."
This is not a size comparison thread but a question of ''how did they do it?!'' Why is the Xbox One bigger? This is how it looks inside:I'm really stoked to see the internals of the PS4 and how it compares to the Xbox because I believe Sony engineers used magic arranging the innards of the console.

Not all religious statues are depictions of garden angels or sculptures related to Christianity. Several of the religious-themed sculptures in our collection are depictions of the Buddha. When one travels to eastern Asia, sculptures of sitting, standing, and even laughing Buddhas are a common sight in temples, gardens, and parks. The serene look on the Buddha's face compliments an already peaceful garden and seems to blend in with the natural surroundings. For this reason, statues of the Buddha are often placed in grottos and other beautiful natural places.
A Buddha statue can have the same peaceful effect on backyards no matter what their size. The beautiful two and a half foot tall The Bodh Gaya Buddha Asian Statue adds a peaceful touch to a backyard when placed by the back door, placed next to a pond, or displayed inside the home.
If the garden would look better with a large Buddha statue, our Giant Buddha Monument-Sized Garden Sculpture is a perfect fit. This large, four foot, seated Buddha is modeled after similar Buddha sculptures from Thailand and has the same, very peaceful appearance. For a Buddha with his very own grotto, put the classic Great Buddha Garden Sanctuary Sculpture in the backyard.
Enjoy 20% off these fine sculptures and all of the religious statues in our collection when purchased from today until April 7th.
This sale cannot be combined with other offers.

Why Can't I Keep Friends? SLU Helps Teens with Asperger Syndrome
To most SLU students, friendship comes easily. Mealtime, intramurals and weekends are fun, not stressful. But in the occupational science and occupational therapy department, SLU students are helping high schoolers for whom friendship remains a mystery. SLU's novel program for teens with Asperger syndrome teaches participants the skills to communicate and make friends, and then cements the lesson with SLU students showing them how it's done.
|Student volunteers Melissa Weinacht and Lydia Royeen
"It's amazing how much people can change in six weeks," said Alicia Karpel, an occupational therapy Master's student and mentor for this summer's social skills program. "Teenagers who stared at the floor and wouldn't make eye contact have started making conversation.
"It opens your eyes to understanding other people in a new light."
The project began with an email. Jeanne Eichler, instructor and lead therapist in the occupational science and occupational therapy department, received a note from a high school student with an unusual request. He wanted help with ordinary social interactions - making friends, talking to girls, doing group work at school.
The Angst of High School
While feeling anxious in social settings isn't unusual for high schoolers, the teenager's diagnosis of Asperger syndrome makes navigating these everyday events difficult and prone to miscommunication and missed social cues.
"Nobody lets these kids know that everyone faces these same issues," said Eichler. "The consensus is that high school is a good time for kids with Asperger's to tackle some of these challenges. These are issues their peers are facing, too."
Eichler decided to create a teen social skills program, something the occupational science and occupational therapy department at SLU's Doisy College of Health Sciences already had in place for younger children, specifically geared toward helping teens with Asperger syndrome feel more comfortable interacting with their peers.
After sending out several emails to gauge interest, she received more than 100 responses, finding that her small inquiry had been forwarded to parents eager to find resources for their teens.
Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder often characterized by difficulty in social interactions. Because teens with Asperger's often are academically successful in school, parents report finding little help for their children, who, Eichler says, may have trouble making and keeping friends.
"These kids struggle," Eichler said. "Their teachers and peers might never know they have this diagnosis. Often they are bright, college-bound kids who struggle in their social interactions. How do you cope in a world that doesn't perceive the world the way you do?"
A New Model
Eichler, who has worked with kids with autism for 15 years, says that parents report that schools often pulled kids with Asperger's and high functioning autism out of class and put them with other children with the same diagnosis to practice social skills, with limited success.
Instead of replicating this model, Eichler set up her occupational therapy program to focus on specific tasks that are critical for success for high school age students and young adults. Less self-conscious, the teens became engaged in working to meet their goals and learned social skills along the way.
The first sessions were held last summer, and new groups met throughout the fall and spring. Activities included a photo scavenger hunt at the zoo, a visit to a pizzeria, a cooking day in SLU's nutrition and dietetics food labs, a game night and a trip to the science center.
This summer, participants broke up into several groups with particular themes, like the "Restaurant Critics Group," which is visiting different types of eating establishments, including fast food, fine dining and international cuisine.
Woven into the "field trips" are activities that encourage social interaction. For example, at the zoo, the teens were on a mission to take photos for a scavenger hunt. To complete the game, they were required to approach people they didn't know at the zoo and ask for their help with specific tasks, such as taking a picture of their group.
SLU Students Set Example
Eichler added several components to ensure the program's success and increase the likelihood that the teens would have positive social interactions.
Student volunteers from SLU's occupational and physical therapy programs participate in the activities alongside the high schoolers. Without calling attention to their role as mentors, the volunteers talk with the teens, modeling positive social behavior and demonstrating successful interactions.
One SLU student mentor and occupational therapy graduate student, Monica Jefferson, remarked on the progress she saw over a few weeks.
"It's nice to see the teens come out of their shells. Some of them didn't talk at all in the first session. Now, not only are they talking, they're laughing, getting their hands dirty and laughing together during group.
"In life, good communication, effective communication is so important. This experience has shown me the importance of social skills."
It's a lesson Jefferson will take with her when she graduates and begins work in occupational therapy.
"It's been a fantastic opportunity," said Jefferson. "I want to work in pediatrics, and this experience has given me so much insight into what it takes to plan a group therapy session. It's taught me to be flexible and go with the flow. I'm learning more about Asperger syndrome and how it affects teenage experience."
|Jeanne Eichler, occupational therapy instructor
While the teens are busy, their parents meet separately, offering an informal support group to discuss their children's experiences as well as family and personal challenges that they have in common.
Strategies for Friendship
In addition to the activities, the teens meet with Eichler, a licensed therapist, and the student volunteers to talk about their frustrations in social settings and to learn strategies to improve interactions.
"Body language can be an enigma for someone with Asperger's," Eichler said. "For example, they may incorrectly interpret anxiety as anger. It's often something that must be learned from scratch.
"Often, these kids set very high standards for themselves and beat themselves up when they don't succeed. They are frustrated after a negative social interaction when they don't know what they did wrong or what to do to improve.
"They often ask 'Why can't I keep friends?'"
One group talked about honesty versus diplomacy. In another session, the boys in the group asked to talk about "how to decode girls." Writing their questions on index cards, they asked one of the SLU student volunteers their questions: "How do you talk to a girl you don't know? How do you ask her to sit with you at lunch? What do you do if she says no? What do you do if she says yes?"
Organized as an occupational therapy group with interventions and follow-up and led by a licensed therapist, the cost to participate is $300 for the six-week group and $100 for an initial assessment.
After the first six-week session, one parent reported that her child had invited another teen from the group over to hang out -- a first, and a sign of friendship that is not taken for granted.
Stephanie Fay, an undergraduate occupational therapy student who is working with the social skills group this summer finds the experience inspiring.
"I've seen a lot of progress, some huge changes. The first day or two kids were shy and uncomfortable. I remember one of the boys didn't make eye contact the first day I met him and he was really quiet. Then, at a later session, he was able to initiate conversation and maintain eye contact. It was just really exciting to see the progress.
"It's an awesome experience to see everything coming together."

ZANY Steven Hall is urging people to vote for him after he performs in front of millions of TV viewers on Britain's Got Talent tonight.
The 53-year-old telecommunications engineer will represent Cumbria when he takes to the stage for the live semi-final with a new dance routine.
Having taken the nation by storm with his eclectic two-minute act, which saw him perform a dance to The Birdy Song, The Macarena and The Twist, he has become an overnight success.
He has gained more than 1.5 million views on YouTube and more than a thousand fans on his official Facebook site.
So, what has he got lined up for the biggest performances of his life tonight?
"It was said: 'How am I going to follow that?' Because the element of surprise has gone," he said.
"So I have taken what everybody said they would expect me to do next and not done it."
Life has changed for the Burneside Amateur Theatrical Society member since he gained three 'yes' votes from Amanda Holden, Michael McIntyre and David Hasselhoff, and a standing ovation from the Liverpool crowd.
"It was the second best experience of my life, but I can't tell you the first one," he jokes.
"Since then, it has been so busy I haven't had time to think about it.
"I have been to London several times for interviews and rehearsals."
Having performed in theatres across the Lake District, Steven set up Comedy Showtime two years ago, a five-person act that puts on performances across the region.
From this, a 10-minute dance evolved which came to form the basis of his BGT audition.
If Steven is successful tonight, he will make it through to Saturday's live final.
If victorious in the final, he will perform in front of The Queen at The Royal Variety Performance and win £100,000.
"I am nervous and confident about tonight," he said.
"Nervous because Simon Cowell is back on the show and he is held in such anticipation about what he has thought of the acts that have gone through while he's been away.
"But I am confident of my routine. I'm looking forward to it."
THE Bassenthwaite Ospreys have moved home to live in marshes nearer to Bassenthwaite Lake.
After successfully nesting at their treetop summer home at Dodd Wood since 2008, the pair decided it was time for a change and have been gradually building a new nest since returning from their wintering grounds in West Africa.
Fortunately, the new site is visible from the Dodd Wood viewpoint so visitors can still enjoy watching the birds of prey this season.
Ospreys are normally faithful to successful nest sites, so the move was a bit of a shock for staff at the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP). This is only the second time staff have seen the ospreys change nest in the project's 11-year history.
Nathan Fox of the RSPB's Lake District Osprey Project, said: 'It has been an interesting and exciting start to the season, with the birds deciding to move. We have been working closely with local landowners and farmers to make sure that the birds are fully protected and therefore have a good chance of raising their chicks."
A PAIR of ospreys have returned to their nesting site in the Lake District. The birds are back at Bassenthwaite Lake - 10 years after the first male osprey chose the area for a nesting site.The bird, known as No Ring, was the first to nest in the Lakes for 150 years. Experts say he has returned with the female he paired up with for the first time in 2007.
It is hoped the birds will rear an 11th generation of young after two male chicks were produced last year.
Graeme Prest of the Lake District Osprey Project said: "It is wonderful news that the ospreys have returned for another season and have already mated. With a bit of luck, the female will be laying her eggs soon."
Almost 100 people are part of a volunteer project to provide 24-hour observation on the nest. They also engage with the public about ospreys at the Dodd Wood viewpoint and Whinlatter Visitor Centre.
The public Osprey Viewpoint at Dodd Wood, near Keswick, has been opened and telescopes are being provided to see the birds.
Live images from the nest are also being beamed to a big screen at the nearby Whinlatter visitor centre. The osprey project is managed by a partnership of the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park Authority and the RSPB.

By JEFF AMY
JACKSON — New voters flooded into Mississippi's Republican presidential primary Tuesday, watering down the influence that metro Jackson had in the primary four years ago and apparently benefiting Rick Santorum at the expense of Mitt Romney.
Turnout roughly doubled from 2008, when 145,000 voters cast ballots. That year the Republican presidential race was nearly over by the time of the primary, which Arizona Sen. John McCain won with 79 percent of the vote on his way to the GOP nomination.
But in 2008, there was a lot of suspense over who would win the Republican nomination for the state's 3rd Congressional District, a contest that U.S. Rep Gregg Harper of Pearl eventually claimed. That race bolstered turnout in the 3rd District, which runs diagonally from Macon to Natchez, but is centered in Jackson's Republican suburbs.
In 2008, there were also Democratic primaries in three of four congressional districts, and the Democratic presidential race between then-Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton was still in doubt. That drew voters into the Democratic primary, said Henry Barbour, a nephew of former Gov. Haley Barbour, who worked for Texas Gov. Rick Perry's failed presidential campaign before backing Romney.
So when Republican turnout rose Tuesday, it increased a fair bit in Rankin, Madison and Hinds counties. It also doubled in Lee and Itawamba counties, tripled in Jackson County, and quadrupled in Harrison and Forrest counties. It also went up in a number of rural counties that had never been major factors in GOP presidential primaries.
"The more rural counties that have not voted in overwhelming numbers in Republican presidential primaries, they turned out in big numbers," Henry Barbour said. "That played to the advantage of (Newt) Gingrich and Santorum."
Romney ran ahead in metro Jackson, but not by enough to offset his losses in places like Lee County, where Santorum won more than 40 percent of the vote, as well as DeSoto County, where Santorum received 37 percent.
That helped Santorum, a social conservative and former Pennsylvania senator, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich edge out Romney. The former Massachusetts governor leads the national delegate count.
"Where (Romney) won, he didn't win by a significant enough margin to help him, and where he lost, he got clocked pretty good," said Andy Taggart, a Madison Republican who voted for Santorum.
The electoral map also reflected Mississippi's historic split between the hills on the east side of the state and the Delta and coast. Of the 23 counties where Romney won the most votes, the only ones that didn't follow that pattern were the university-dominated counties of Lafayette and Oktibbeha. Some of those Delta counties, though, had small Republican electorates.
Marty Wiseman, a political scientist at Mississippi State University, said Santorum appealed to rural conservatives who wanted a sharper anti-government message than Romney offered.
"It was obviously time well spent in Tupelo for him," Wiseman said.
Barbour agreed: "I think Santorum won because he was perceived to be the most conservative of the Republican candidates. It is a Republican primary in Mississippi."
Romney had been endorsed by Gov. Phil Bryant and the six other statewide elected Republicans, but it wasn't enough.
"That he was supported by true conservatives was not enough to convince Mississippians that he is one," Taggart said.
Wiseman said that although Romney didn't win, he still believed those endorsements helped.
"He got 30 percent of the vote, which is the highest percentage he's gotten in any other state," Wiseman said.

While the Duplass Brothers were shooting their last feature film "The Puffy Chair," a crew member raised the question "what's the scariest thing you can think of?" Someone immediately said "a guy with a bag on his head staring into your window." Some agreed, but some thought it was downright ridiculous and, if anything, funny (but definitely not scary). Thus, "Baghead" was born, an attempt to take the absurdly low-concept idea of a "guy with a bag on his head" and make a funny, truthful, endearing film that, maybe, just maybe, was a little bit scary, too.

The cats ok. For a while we thought one of her eyes would have to be removed, but eyes drops saved it. She still has a blurry spot on the retina though.

Stan's NoTubes Arch EX 26" Disc Mountain Bike Front WheelThe Stan's Arch EX 26" Disc Mountain Bike Front Wheel is stronger and lighter for 2012. The Arch rims use Stan's new bead socket technology instead of the traditional bead hook. The result is a lower rim sidewall, which reduces strain on the bead, creates a tighter seal and virtually eliminates pinch flats. It's so effective, you can even get away with using thinner, lighter rim strips and still avoid pinch flats.
- A lightweight 26" MTB wheel that's stout enough to handle aggressive trail riding
- Stan's new bead socket technology moves the sidewall of the rim down by 2-3mm to virtually eliminate pinch flats
- Bead strain is reduced to create a tighter seal between tire and rim
- Stan's Arch EX wheel is taped air-tight using yellow spoke tape and can be used tubeless with the included valve stems

For Immediate Release: October 26, 2010
For information:
"Race to Nowhere," the documentary sensation that is feeding a groundswell for change in schools and organizations nationwide, will be presented by the Alexandria Film Festival on Saturday, November 6 at the AMC Hoffman Theatre, 206 Swamp Fox Rd. at 1pm. First time filmmaker Vicki Abeles, a 48 year-old lawyer, was inspired to make "Race to Nowhere" out of concern for her children and the pressures that they face in school.
A mother of three and former Wall Street attorney, Abeles awakened to this crisis in a hospital emergency room as her 12-year old daughter was being treated for stress-related illness.
"We are thrilled to have "Race to Nowhere" in this year's Festival," said Festival Chair Pat Miller, while making the announcement of the new selections recently added to the lineup of films scheduled to be screened over the course of the 4 day cinematic film fest.
"The Festival has something for everyone," said Ms. Miller. "We've got independent, short and feature length films, documentaries, animation and narrative films in every imaginable category, some of them starring well known actors and many of the films making either their East Coast or Washington, D.C. debut and in some cases, their World Premiere."
Among the other new additions to the Festival are: "Grassroots ," a documentary directed by Jeffrey Daniels, an entertaining look at the battle that ensued in Las Vegas over a ballot initiative to approve the regulation and taxation of marijuana.
"L'Affaire Farewell," an espionage film by Director Christian Carion is based on a true story about a KGB Colonel who became disenchanted with the Communist ideal and found a way to pass documents containing USSR secrets about the US to a French civil engineer working in Moscow.
Opening night of the Film Festival features the Washington, D.C. premiere of Griefwalker an unforgettable, feature length documentary by the award winning filmmaker Tim Wilson, who set his lens on his friend Stephen Jenkinson, a Harvard educated theologian and one of Canada's leading palliative care educators.
Mr. Jenkinson, who travels throughout Canada providing grief counseling, believes that in order to love life, we need to love death. He will be in attendance for a follow up discussion with the audience.
Also being shown on opening night at the Old Town Theatre, 815 1/2 King St., will be Ride the Divide, directed by cinematographer Hunter Weeks, a visually stunning film about a 2,700 mile mountain bike race through the entire Rocky Mountain range weaving three characters' experiences with immense mountain beauty and small town culture as they all attempt to pedal from Banff, Canada to a small, dusty crossing on the Mexican border. Producer Joe Cantrell will introduce the film and be available for the after film Q & A.
On Friday night November 5, at 7 p.m., Leading Ladies, a zany romantic comedy about the pressures of competitive ballroom dance will make its Washington, D.C. premiere, at Hoffman Theatres followed by a party at Yves Bistro, just steps from the theatre where featured actresses Melanie LaPatin, Laurel Vail and actor Benji Schwimmer will give a live demonstration of an art form at the pinnacle of its popularity.
For further information about the films, descriptions, trailers, screening schedule, events, and locations, visit AlexandriaFilm.org.
The 2010 Film Festival is organized and presented by the Alexandria Commission for the Arts and the Alexandria Office of the Arts, a division of the Department of Recreation, Parks & Cultural Activities. Daily updates on Facebook.

So if ONE thing might not be able to be explained, that's enough evidence, for me at least that intelligent life exists. Should be for most scientists but personal opinion gets in the way.
UNexplained or UNidentified in no way equates alien life or "enough" evidence. And NO it should never be the same for ANY scientist, science should NEVER accept something that can't explain for any personal view of an answer. That's basically what you're doing, you can't explain something so you give it an answer that you WANT it to be. A true scientist would never let a personal opinion overrule scientific reasoning.

A spa retreat and Swing Lagoon swimwear! 0
So it is my 30th birthday today! Happy birthday to me!
One of my early birthday presents was a fabulous spa day away with the girls.
The treatments included a facial (bliss) a full body massage (heavenly) and a pedicure (anything that makes my feet look slightly feminine is good!) and a delicious two course lunch!
The day before we are set go and what should pop through the post but the Swing Lagoon Bikini.
Absolutely delightful it is!
The padded top gives me some va va voom in the boob department and the band around the top of the brief is so very flattering to your waist line.
It has a floral design but in nautical colours and looks very classy. The bikini also comes with a matching dress that can fall off the shoulders for sun bathing purposes but will look so cute in the summer teamed with a pretty pair of flip flops! I can't wait for the weather to warm up again so I can wear this!
The bikini saw me well through the Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room! It got lots of compliments and i have converted another two friends to the joys of Freya!
How I love a birthday! I wish I could turn 30 again now!
Hope you get some spoiling to soon – if not treat yourself to this bikini!

Let's face it, looks matter. And while we like to focus on performance, there's nothing wrong with making our rides look nice. When our cars rolled off the assembly line, they were considered basic modes of transportation with functionality being high on the priority list. After all, they weren't building show cars back then any more than they are today. If you'd have told them that we'd be massaging them the way we do in '09 they would have laughed in disbelief.
For designers, the firewall was all about function. It wasn't put there to look pretty, it was simply a steel barrier between the engine bay and the passenger compartment. As such, it's a bumpy, hole-filled mess that can greatly benefit from a little TLC.
In the case of our Project Track Rat, we want the engine bay to have a very clean and uncluttered look. The '68 will have all the bells and whistles such as air conditioning and wipers, but that doesn't mean we can't tidy things up a bit. So, follow along as we give our functional firewall an aesthetic makeover.
In the lower area of the firewall there are two holes for accessing the cage nuts for the subframe bolts. They are important access points if you run into a rust issue and can't get your subframe bolts out, or if rust breaks loose the cage holding the nut. Our car is in great shape and will lead the good life from now on. So, for an extra clean look, we decided to close them up. We also decided to ditch the fenderwell supports, so we ground down the factory pinch welds and removed the brackets.
Time to get to work with our 3M cutoff wheels. The object isn't to remove the entire factory firewall, but instead to cutaway any part that protrudes out from the main plane of the bulkhead. We will also be removing the leading edge of the transmission tunnel to get a cleaner, truly flat look to the finished product.
Using a grinding disc, we ground down the metal flanges surrounding some of the holes. We also took most of the firewall down to bare metal. We will be using a metal adhesive to help bond the new firewall to the vintage steel, and it works best bare metal to bare metal.
Something that can't deviate is the angle where the brake master cylinder mounts. Changing the angle or location of this would mean having to reengineer the brake system and that's just more work for no gain. Most of these holes won't be in our finished firewall. For example, our wiring will be different, so we won't need the fuse block hole, the car won't run the factory parking brake system, and the hole for the steering column will only need to be the size of actual column.

Simple, spare and handsome, the minimalist elegance of Robert Altman's Swatch does indeed give one Time to Reflect (GZ143). Featuring nothing but these words, stylishly scripted across the minute and hour hands, the still, silvery dial offers a meditative reminder to take time for musing. The entire watch is done in a mutely luminous light grey, suggestive of mirrors and reflection as well as the classic palette of black and white films. Altman's signature and the word-laden hour and minute hands emerge in black like titles from a cinema screen. Bare, clear, and thoughtful, this work speaks in a whisper with a look as classy as Altman's movies.

Plan unveiled for £200,000 West Cumbria drugs clinic
Last updated at 19:40, Thursday, 07 June 2012
Plans for a new £200,000 alcohol and drug clinic in Workington have been revealed.
A planning application has been lodged for a vacant building on Finkle Street to change its use to a rehabilitation clinic.
Greater Manchester West Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, which has submitted the application, said it would help around 500 people a year, including users, their families and carers. It will employ 10 full-time staff.
Kate Hall, assistant director of the Alcohol and Drugs Directorate for the Greater Manchester trust said: "The Cumbria drug and alcohol action team identified a gap in service provision in its recent tendering exercise which this planning application aims to address.
"We will work closely with the community, current service users as well as people who have gone through treatment and are in sustained recovery and make sure we listen to them – they are experts by experience and in the best place to show us how to deliver the best standards of care possible."
The clinic will provide information and advice including group work and will be used by support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous.
There will be a free needle exchange facility and access to services such as Blood Borne Virus screening, testing and vaccination.
The Greater Manchester trust won the tender to provide alcohol and drug prevention and rehabilitation services across Cumbria starting from July 1.It was previously the responsibility of three separate organisations – Cumbria Partnership NHS Trust, the Alcohol and Drug Service and Crime Reduction Initiatives.
The new clinic will replace the current drug and alcohol facility in Peter Street and staff will be transferred.
The plans have been welcomed by Dave Smith, founder of The Rising Sun Trust, a drug and alcohol charity based in Workington.
He said: "It is something we really need and we will work with them.
"The sooner they are up here established and starting to work with the local agencies the better.
"We have been doing this for 13 years and the need for our place has got more rather than less and the more people that get help the better."
The proposed opening hours for the clinic would be 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday with the possibility of opening some evenings and weekends.
Five other locations in the town centre were identified and discounted by the trust as suitable locations prior to submitting the application.
The clinic would include three consulting rooms, a group room, reception and waiting area, needle exchange and clinical team office.

Have your say
Maybe this clinic is needed maybe it's not.I would prefer to hear about how addicts become addicted in the first place. It used to be alcohol that was the main addiction now it is numerous types of addictive substances that have become too easily to access.Many people suffer from traumatic experiences and have other issues yet they do not become addicted to alcohol or drugs, I wonder why.
A town centre retail location is not the most appropriate location for this organisation. Whilst I support the need for such a facility, surely a building further out of town would be better suited - to all parties.

Serving in a transitional role for leadership is not new to Dr. Bradberry, who served as the interim vice president for academic affairs for eight months in 2013, prior to Edward O'Connor, Ph.D., joining Creighton as the University's first provost.
Read about Dr. Bradberry in his biography.
Daniel S. Hendrickson, S.J.,
Selected as 25th President
Daniel S. Hendrickson, S.J., Ph.D., a Nebraska native, graduated from Mount Michael Benedictine High School in Elkhorn, Neb.

Mississippi State University will hold its sixth annual biofuels conference today through Friday at the Energy Institute in the Thad Cochran Research Park and the Foster Ballroom at the Colvard Student Union.
Ray Mabus, U.S. Secretary of the Navy and former governor of Mississippi, will deliver the keynote address. Mabus was also U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the Clinton administration.
Glenn Steele, director of the MSU Energy Institute, said he and other conference staff are honored to have Mabus as lead speaker.
"He'll be explaining how the Navy has set a high priority for using biofuel to power their naval aircraft and fleet as much as possible," Steele said. Their goal is to be less reliant on foreign oil."
The agenda for the conference features seminars led by biofuel researchers from universities across the country, including Auburn University, the University of Florida, North Carolina State University, Texas A&M University and Ohio State University. Other organizations represented will include the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Air Force, KiOR, General Atomics of San Diego, Calif. and REPREVE Renewables of Soperton, Ga.
"We're doing a great deal of research in the biofuels area, and it's attracting national attention," Steele said. "We're coordinating with other universities and national laboratories. People are very aware of the biofuels research at Mississippi State."
Steele said the conference has sometimes moved from campus to Jackson in the past, but this year it will stay in Starkville to showcase biofuel technologies which are nearly ready for commercialization. Rafael Hernandez, MSU chemical engineering professor and conference director, said moving from research to commercialization is the conference's theme.
"The idea is to emphasize that many of these technologies that started seven, maybe 10 years ago at a very small scale are now being implemented at a very large scale, and some of those companies are going to be in Mississippi," Hernandez said. "KiOR, for instance, is going to be in Columbus."
Business executives aren't the only ones seeing MSU's technology this weekend. Hernandez said high school students visited biofuel facilities in the Thad Cochran Research Park, learning about careers in the field from MSU professors.
"This year, we decided to include some activities for kids as an educational component of the conference," Hernandez said. "(On Wednesday) we'll go to Annunciation Catholic School in Columbus, and we'll spend some time with the seventh and eighth graders, talking about biofuels and doing experiments in the classroom."
On the same Thursday as Mabus' keynote address, Gov. Haley Barbour is set to receive a briefing from General Electric Energy officials on biofuel engines installed at Golden Triangle Regional Landfill to capture methane gas to generate electricity. Hernandez said there is no connection between MSU's biofuel conference and this briefing or the landfill facility, a detail GTRL Executive Director Jimmy Sloan confirmed.
Sloan said GTRL will hold an official ribbon cutting ceremony Oct. 11 at 11 p.m. for the facility. A previous Associated Press report said the facility would not be online until the end of next year, but Sloan said this was an error.
"It's already been online, and we've been doing some work on the engine," Sloan said. "Anytime you want to start up a big project like this, you have to spend a couple of weeks tweaking things."
