North West
Traditionally a wheat growing area, our regions other key products include cotton, coal, beef, lamb, pork cereal and oil seeds.
Do you have questions about Native Vegetation Codes of Practice? In response to an increasing number of requests the North West Local Land Services is running a series of information sessions throughout the region, on the 3 self-assessable codes of practice available for the clearing of invasive native scrub, paddock trees in cultivation and thinning of thick native vegetation.
Lodge your annual land and stock return by 31 August to help safeguard biosecurity and ensure market access for NSW producers.
Don't miss your chance to attend a free inspirational and informative day in Tamworth on the 18th June 2015. The inaugural "Farming Futures: Growing tomorrow, today" North West LLS Conference is an event not to be missed by anyone involved in the farming fraternity, especially those who are part of a family farming/grazing enterprise. The day will feature industry leading speakers including, keynote presenter Pip Job who was the '2014 RIRDC National Rural Woman of the Year'.
Applications are currently being sought from suitable candidates to be members of the North West Local Land Service Community Advisory Group (CAG). This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic thinker who is proactive in their local community. Successful applicants will join the five current CAG members who are representative of the areas of Tamworth, Gunnedah, Warialda and Moree. Preference will be given to applicants from areas where representation is required, Narrabri, Walgett and Goondiwndi.
The NWLLS Scholarship seeks to support an outstanding and highly motivated student enrolled full-time and on-campus in their first year of a Bachelor of Environmental Science, Bachelor of Agriculture, Bachelor of Rural Science, Bachelor of Agribusiness or a similarly related course. The applicant's home address must also be located in the Gunnedah, Gwydir, Liverpool Plains, Moree Plains, Narrabri, Tamworth or Walgett council areas.
All stakeholder organisations that are involved in or have an interest in land management in the North West Local Land Service region are encouraged to participate in the survey. The results of this survey will provide information to help guide the development of partnerships with stakeholder's to achieve improved land management by land managers and landholders. All information is confidential in so far as the information will be aggregated and no individuals, groups or organisations will be identified. The survey will be available until May 22 2015
The rates you pay to Local Land Services allow your local region to fund the services it provides to landholders and contribute to other important statewide functions.
Applications are now being sought for the North West Local Land Services investment program. The program focuses on building a stronger region by partnering with industry and the community. Applications will be accepted until March 30 2015
Key achievements from Local Land Services' first year of operation are outlined in a publication that highlights statewide results as well as case studies from the 11 regions.
While the recent rainfall within the region has been a blessing for landholders it has also provided favourable conditions for plague locusts to hatch.
Native Vegetation
Four online tools are available to help landholders determine whether their clearing activities require approval.
Biosecurity Framework
The proposed Framework outlines the legislative tools and powers required to manage pests, diseases, weeds and contaminants in NSW. Go to the Review page for more and have your say.
Native vegetation
The first three self-assessable codes for clearing under the Native Vegetation Act 2003 are now on exhibition and open for comment.

Game was such an insult to the franchise I asked for a refund, and got one.

I've got the feeling that Blizzard knew exactly what they were giving us with Diablo 3 as it is now. The game sold extremely well, but my feeling is that now they are not making much money out of it, RMAH is meh, people left in the game are mostly trading for gold. Blizzard will throw in two expansions, one fixing the main problem, itemisation (they'll probably bring cool items + runes + 1 new act) - and a second one, with two more classes and some alternate advancement in the form of a passive talent tree, and another act. Obviously each will cost about 40 bucks. It's consistent with Blizzard's policy, "why sell one game for 60 bucks, when you can split it into three parts and sell each for 50?"

But, i'll simply add one point for you and other haters to consider...
Name one game that has done really well (by the standards you've set) in the past 5+ years? ALL games are selling Millions of copies within a few days/weeks of release. People play them, get bored quickly, and move on. NO game released in the past few years has stuck around as a massive success.
I take that back, Minecraft? League of Legends? A few others I suppose?
Diablo 3, Call of Duty, Halo, and countless other AAA brands have released new versions that sold very VERY well but didn't hold peoples attention like back in the old days. This is just the new trend.

As for splitting one game into 3? This is the new trend in hollywood movies, not really video games. Starcraft 2 will be the FIRST title they do this...

In fact, read the recent Activision Blizzard financial statement. They cited D3 as teh reason they are doing well (amongst others).

Yes, the game sold extremely well, as i've posted, but that's a thing of the past. They have those money already. Currently, Blizzard earns only from RMAH sales. I do not have access to their RMAH sales, but i know a lot of people in game and neither me or them sold anything lately in the RMAH. Therefore, my feelings are that RMAH does not bring "enough" to the table right now for Blizzard. The way to further monetize Diablo is to launch expansions. My bet is that they deliberately split the game into two or three, in order to sell two or three boxes (that's where their main income comes from). That was my point, sorry if it was not clear.

The game was a massive disappointment for those looking for a D2 like experience, it was a massive let down for those who wanted an exciting dungeon crawler, and it was and continues to be too focused around making ongoing revenues for Blizzard in my opinion.
But it is not a failure....

Bite my fiery metal ass!
Funny, I got a great dungeon crawling experience out of D3. It's a fun game, with mechanics light years ahead of D2 in many respects.
Torchlight 2 was incredibly shallow, with crummy performance, terrible and uninspired skills / classes, and a story that was actually worse than D3's (not an easy thing to pull off). It no longer even has a place on my HDD.
So yes, I will be buying the expansion(s). The game is in a good place now, and things are being taken in the right direction. Should it have been closer to what it is now at launch? Absolutely. But most of the haters are like TotalBiscuit; they see the RMAH and immediately let that one feature color their perceptions of the entire game.
My only complaint at this point is that I don't have much time to play it, what with WoW, EVE, Smite, and other games (along with IRL responsibilities OFC) taking up much of my time.

So what people are actually angry about is that Blizzard is dipping in to their(the players) lucurative market of selling gear to people. Because that was a big think in the earlier games.
I find it a nice game, not something i play every day but to just drop in to every now and then and reduce some monster to a fine paste. In my mind it is neither worse nor better then the other Diablo games but then again i was never very emotionally engaged in the series.
When do the good fight turn bad, Smedley is a good example.
This have been a good conversation

The next big thing is not selling more D3 .. but selling D3 expansions, which were already anounced.

Well I was dissapointed in it and am done with blizzard after that..... but its sold, what like, 10 million copies already?? I guess we will see how well the xpacs do or a D4 down the road but sales wise D3 is good to go. The damage it did to the franchises future is yet to be seen though.

While people didn't get entirely what they wanted with D3, I bet the expansions still sell like hotcakes! I enjoyed the game but was saddened when it didn't offer the amount of replay I wanted (not my type at least). If the expansions are fairly priced, hell even I am in for one.
Started playing this again recently.
Issues with the first go with the game, at launch, was that progression stopped pretty quick. Inferno was nearly unplayble past a certain act. Gear was near impossible to find making the issue of inferno being too much death more of a pain. It was litereally one to two shots by anything killed you unless you were a good tank.
So anyway, inferno is now fun to run, its fast, lots of action, a bit more forgiving. Loot drops more often. Paragon levels adds another 100 levels and gives standard stats per level and megic find and gold find bonuses per level up untill it caps out...meaning once you max that youll never need to stack magic and gold find on gear. Also some decent gear is now pretty easy to purchase on the AH (for in game money). Monster power is a setting 1-10 you can set your game to, im assuming 10 is going to be ever harder than inferno was at launch, but adds rewards and gives you something to work for.
So in my eyes they fixed the two main issues with a game of this type. Put progression back in, made the loot grind more enjoyable and less fustrating. For me im having more fun than my first time around...and i came back to a level 60 character, it felt like a new alt but with gear, money and all my skills. New breath of life into the game IMO.
Oh and i dont give a rats ass about pvp in this game, this is a game to feed my loot-whoring urges and spamtastic carnage urges. Does both quite exelent now. Only game i really have enjoyed from blizzard, and i like it much more than POE and TL for what its worth. Just does actiony-carnage-loot whoring better imo. And i dont need to reroll for variety, just swap a rune, possibly a piece of gear or two and im good to go with a completely different gameplay ont he same character (people hated the rune system over an overly complex and permanant stat system, im loving it tbh).
I would have rated the game a 5 or 6 at launch (was enjoyable untill you hit 60 then sucked), now rate this a 8-9 (enjoyable well past 60), rating only applies to this being a lobby based dungeon crawler btw.

You know that the RMAH is kind of a dead zone now. You have got to be a real idiot or a lazy player to buy items on it. Most days a million gold sells for about thrity cents, so for like a ten dollar investment, you can hall away about 33 million in gold to finance a complete set of legendary gear and gems to boot and still have some change.
The main action is in the AH where people wait til the least minute to jack youur bids and you feel like one of those Quibids morons trying to get an Ipad for 25 bucks.
This has devaluated the gear grind as it is super easy to just buy the gear you want.
The main reason that Diablo kinda sucks right now is its horrendous public game system. You would think after years of Wow and Starcraft, that they would have the best looking for group ssystem in place.
Not only can you not know who or what kind of group you are joining, but you also dont know what MP that group is. This makes it difficult to find a group for just loot drops, xp runs, or even key runs because there is no way to label exactly what type of group you want to join.
And this is only going to get worse when they add in dueling, because you wont know if you are joing a dueling game or a regular run.
This just makes it frustrating trying to farm the INfernal Machine on MP 5 or higher and you cant find a group to do these runs.

I don't Forum PVP. If you feel I've attacked you, it was probably by accident.
No I don't think it's defunct. My guess is a D4 would sell millions, still plenty to make a profit. All they have to do to sell boxes is make big promises on the feature list. For all we know it might already be in development.
I give up.

I don't know if Diablo 3 is doing as bad as people claim. I never have to wait for a public game, and according to the chat system, I join "General Chat #83109" yesterday, and each general chat holds upto 100 people...by my math that's about 8,310,900? I guess not all the channels arent' full but heck if 83k people play that's still better than what some are implying. I still find people that will pay real money for my items within a few hours of posting them on the auction house, so there is either a really rich few, or alot of players that don't mind spending $5 on a superb piece of gear :\
As for brand recognition, it's kinda true. Look at how many millions go out and buy every new Call of Duty piece of garbage that comes out...maybe Black Ops 2 will finally teach them that they're not going to change anything except a few maps and textures, and basically just reskin the older games. Battlefield 3 is alot older, and Black Ops 2 is brand new, but looks and plays like Golden Eye 64 XD
Edit: I appologize for insulting one of the greatest FPS games ever...I loved Golden Eye :)

absolutely delicious just wish it wasn't made with agave!!
I agree with everyone, it tastes good! But it contains Agave so I'm out on that. Whether or not you believe the hype on Agave there are other alternative sweeteners out there. Anyway, I think it is just as easy to buy the Artisana 100% Raw butter, grab some Dagoba Organic Cacao Powder and make your own Chocolate Coconut butter.

South America dominates for the first time in a long time, in a decades long World Cup soccer rivalry between South America and Europe.
In world cup soccer, there is a rivalry that most US College Football fans should be able to relate to. It is the rivalry between the two most successful national soccer conferederations, UEFA (Europe) and CONMEBOL (South America). The rivalry can be closely compared to what is seen between the SEC and the PAC 10 in college football. One group, (Europe/SEC) is generally considered to have the best quality of football in the world (like how I used "football" in a double meaning there?) the other (South America/Pac 10) believe that they are just as good as the other, but are dealing with a (European/East Coast) bias.
When it comes to College Football, the problem lies in getting a bid for the National Championship, or a second bid for the BCS, in soccer the issue is entries into the World Cup. As far as the Europeans are concerned, South America has too many bids because their confederation has only 10 teams but can earn as many as five entries into the tournament, or 50%. Europe usually gets 12-13 bids, but has 53 members, or about 25%. South America, however, feels that they have the best players in the World and that their confederation does not include tiny countries with no shot to win the Cup, like Luxembourg or Latvia, so they should get more bids.
Over the past several World Cups, Europe has proven their argument by knocking out South American teams in droves, leaving Brazil and Argentina to hold the South American banner. This year however, the South American teams have not only fought back, they have put together one of the soundest thumpings of any confederation in history. Of the five teams that qualified for the World Cup in 2010, all five reached the elimination round, and only one (Chile) lost its round of 16 game. Who beat Chile? Brazil, another South American team. This, of course means that four of the eight remaining teams in the World Cup are from South America, and the remaining bracket makes it possible, albeit unlikely, that the final four teams could all hail from South America.
The results of this World Cup will not lead to added bids for CONMEBOL, but it certainly makes a sound case that they deserved the five they got, despite what their rivals in Europe might say.

Second AT&T iPhone 4 commercial again shows off simultaneous voice and data
AT&T has aired their second iPhone 4 commercial since losing exclusivity and it once again pushes the concept of simultaneous voice and data. While the first one focused on a hapless husband who forgot his anniversary, this time AT&T features a man arguing with a friend over the phone and trying to use Safari to settle the argument during the call -- something that's not possible on the Verizon iPhone without Wi-Fi. (Which is admittedly a little easier to believe in this commercial's restaurant setting as opposed to the first commercial's office setting.)
Verizon for their part has been hammering at AT&T over coverage and reliability, while Apple is just happy to have them both.
Is AT&T sticking with a winner strategy here or will simultaneous voice and data only take them so far? If so, what's next? A business woman frustrated by the limited conference calling available of CDMA? And if so will Verizon retaliate with the "Pepsi challenge" of reception tests in New York and San Francisco?

Second AT&T iPhone 4 commercial again shows off simultaneous voice and data
I'd like to see a Verizon response ad where an AT&T iPhone subscriber gets a call from the Human Resources department of a company he applied to, then turns 90 degrees, and the mysteriously call drops.
The ad would end with the guy with his fist clenched, screaming into his iPhone.
Based on a true story.
Haha, this will be a true classic. It's so true though. I lose calls daily, and am in the process of switching to the big v. I rather be able to keep a phone call than surf while talking. For the record, everywhere I travel (Europe, ME, Canada, Asia) I always get 5 bars (4 in the worst case) on my IP4. On a good day here in the Bay area, I get 3 bars and still manage to drop calls. I am so sad that now they are going to do the same with t-mobile and use their revenues on deceptive markettimg like instead of building their infrastructure.
Where in the Bay Area are you located? I live in the East Bay, and I found that AT&T works well at home and at work with the iPhone 4. I've tried several Verizon phones within the past year (Moto Droid, Moto w385, etc.), but either the voice quality sounded hollow or my calls dropped. I guess it is all about location, eh? With AT&T's probable acquisition of T-Mobile, I hope that our bills will not increase, though...
I think the only bills that will be increasing will be for the Tmo customers that decide to stick with AT&T. Particularly those that are on Tmo because they don't require a contract for lower rates.
Buy T-Mobile USA adds more infrastructure all at once than ATT could ever build on their ownn!
Tbone look no further than the city councils in the Bay area for why you have poor service. Regulation and a permit process designed by Satan makes it almost impossible for any carrier,let alone AT&T to provide the coverage everyone in the bay area needs
Verizons coverage may be ok now, but it won't take long for the users to overwhelm their network.
Until officials are elected that are more friendly to the carriers, the bay are will continue to receive 2nd rate service.
It's some kind of mobile Wikipedia app. It's not Wikipanion+ (as I use that app, and it doesn't have the "queue" button in the bottom right), and it's not Safari, as this article incorrectly states, but the formatting does appear to be some kind of app that displays the mobile Wikipedia.
It may be a music app that just searches through a mobile browser, but yeah, definitely not Safari, nor Wikipanion.
After some searching i found out,He's using iWiki
Considering that there are now phones on Verizon that are somehow getting voice+data over 3G, I would say that AT&T is losing.
Now once they got t-Mobile, all they can brag about is more customers.
I still think Verizon is better in the long run for consumers.
I've never actualy had a problem wit AT&T...yetducks in cover
I see no need to switch yet and simultaineous v+d is just an added benefit
I att is just grasping at straws now. What's next? Hey I know my networks garbage but let me find more less important tidbits that I can try to market against vzw. I didnt use the voice and data but maybe twice in three years. Bottom line is att service I a joke. Hey look u can leave a 3 second longer voicemail on att than verizon?! Let's make a commercial about that next.
Simultaneous voice and data is not grasping at straws. It's a very useful feature for business. I'm so glad I have it. It saves me a lot of time at work looking things up for my boss while on the phone with him.
I switched to AT&T and the original is hone because Verizon sold me a crap phone that ket having software issues. When I went to take it in a few weeks later, they said that I voided the waranty because a hologram wore off (sticker still there!). It only wore because the piece of crap battery had a loose fit! They said I had to buy a whole another phone at 200$ or something crazy. Verizon can suck a nut. A lot of omy friends switched to AT&T due to similar issues.
Yes, this from a man who asked if the verizon iphone could be unlocked to run on sprint. Yes, let's write an article about a commercial that's been out for a month.
I am amazed at the number of people that stick with att through all their dropped calls and spotty coverage. If the only phone verizon had was a startac, id use it just for the superior network coverage. I haven't dropped a call in at least a year.
AT&T can have their similtaneous voice and data. It's not worth having their terrible service out here in the valley. Besides we'll see what hook AT&T has once an lte iPhone comes out.

Westminster approves more police coverageBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | March 03,2013WESTMINSTER Residents approved hiring the Windham County Sheriffs Department to give additional police coverage in the face of increased crime in Westminster, voters at town meeting decided Saturday.
On a close voice vote, the plan to join with Putney to hire the Sheriffs Department was accepted, but not before debate on the role of law enforcement in a small town. Westminster will get close to 40 hours of coverage under the plan; it currently has about 15 hours of coverage per week.
A motion to limit the Sheriffs Departments traffic control efforts to 10 hours out of the 35 hours per week failed on an overwhelming voice vote.
Proponents of limiting the speed enforcement said it would hurt townspeople in the long run.
Several residents and business owners who have been victims of burglaries in the past year or so spoke in favor of hiring the Sheriffs Department, adding $37,000 to the $1.8 million town budget, which was later approved on a unanimous voice vote.
The Select Board will work with Windham County Sheriff Keith Clark a resident of Westminster to determine the time and focus of the police work.
Residents complained that they got short shrift from Vermont State Police, saying they often had to wait hours for troopers to show up to investigate property crimes.
But others said that hiring the Sheriffs Department was a waste of money.
One business owner said he had been burglarized and vandalized close to a dozen times in recent years with no action by police.
Selectman Craig Allen said it was a one-year experiment, and that townspeople would decide the future of the plan in a year.
Allen said businesses are investing in private surveillance cameras, but even when the alarm goes off, the state police dont come.
Other people said they would welcome the increased presence of an officer in town to cut down on speeding on busy town roads.
I support this highly, said Babetta Lynds, a town lister, adding that she constantly hears the complaint Where are the cops when you need them?
She said crime in town was not limited to burglaries, but also included domestic abuse and noise.
We need somebody in the middle of the night, said resident John Cook.
He said the police contract amounted to chump change, an assertion that was greeted with applause.
In addition to passing the town budget without a single question, voters also approved $130,000 for the highway equipment reserve fund, $15,000 for the bridge rehabilitation reserve fund, and $2,500 for the Westminster Recreation Club, which runs the towns swimming area.
The town also approved giving delinquent taxpayers a break on the late penalty, cutting it from 8 percent to 3 percent, if all taxes are paid within 30 days of the second installment due date.
The town also gave a standing ovation to longtime Selectman Paul Harlow, who is retiring after 16 years of service about half that time serving as chairman.
Harlow, a well-known organic vegetable farmer, said he felt it was time for new blood on the board. He thanked former town managers, current and former board members, town clerks and others for their help and support, as well as his large, extended family.
While there have been differences on the board, he said, we all wanted what was best for Westminster.
The 2012 annual report was also dedicated to Harlows long town service, including his volunteerism with local schoolchildren, teaching them the basics of gardening.
Paul is a rare individual that gives all he has, solely for the betterment of his fellow citizens, the dedication said.
Allen presented Harlow with a plaque in honor of his long service.
Town candidates and union school budgets will be voted by ballot from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Westminster Institute.

Google Maps is cooking in Australia! Yesterday Google added address search and geocoding support for use in mashups created using the Google Maps API. On the same day online giant Fairfax Digital released information about adding Google Maps viewing to their property search site Domain.com.au - This integration joins other new and existing real estate mashups in Australia signaling a boom in this online vertical industry. With the enhancements added to Google Maps and the API recently, this will add more momentum to this web 2.0 explosion in Australian real estate websites!
- As mentioned Domain is the Fairfax Digital online property search site which has integrated Google Maps search results into their website. To see this new functionality go to the site, plug in any Australian postcode or suburb name. In the search results page, there is a now a link called "View properties on a Map". Click that link and you're there! Tiny little house map icons showing you your next castle! :)
- HomeMap (.com.au) joins the Australian Google Maps real estate mashup boom with a Google Maps centric property search interface. Tick options off for Type, Number of Bedrooms and Price and properties are then listed on the map for you. They've created a nice map marker that makes its way into the site logo. You can add listings to this mashup as well. A forum and blog keep you up to date and connected on this mashup.
- Sellhouse (.com.au) hit the Australian online real estate scene as the first known Australian real estate website that made use of the Google Maps API back on August 8th. It covers the entire country and is powered by a proprietary geocoding system and includes a database of 8,000+ suburbs.
Google Maps Mania is aware of one other Real Estate Mashup that will certainly rank well among these once launched. I've had a look at it and it has an awesome web 2.0 interface interface not seen in other global real estate mashups. Keep an eye on RealMap.com.au for their launch date..

Children do not get the sleep they did years ago. With our hectic lifestyles today it is so easy to forget the importance of sleep and what time little Johnny got to bed. Between working longer hours, after-school activities and late dinners, it is very easy to get caught up in this vicious cycle known as "sleep deprivation."
Sleep deprivation is serious in that it can shave years off your life and wreak havoc on your child's growth and development. Children who lack the required amount of sleep suffer a wide array of problems, from having trouble paying attention in school to behavioral problems such as hyperactivity to just being grumpy.
Researchers have also found that children who lack sleep are at a higher risk for childhood obesity. It has been found that a child who sleeps one hour less than needed increases his risk of obesity by 80 percent. But how much sleep does your child need? School-aged children and pre-teens do best with 10 to 12 hours of sleep, whereas adolescents and teens do best on eight to nine hours.
How can I help my child get a good night's sleep?
All of these factors contribute to a child receiving a good night's sleep. Sleep is a child's brainpower; let's get all the zzzz's we need!

Women's Basketball Season Preview
- Release Date:
- November 5, 2012
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
The 2012-13 Hilbert College women's basketball program expects to add more 'W's in the victory column this year with the return of several key players from last year's team as well as the addition of some very talented new athletes. "We have a competitive and athletic group of players who are working hard and are ready for the start of our season," explained coach Rob Peterson, who returns for his third season to lead the Hawks.
"We have a full roster which already helps us as we prepare for the long season. The addition of five freshmen creates competition with the returning players and everyone is forced to step up their efforts. Plus, we have more combinations to work with which we know is beneficial for us. We are encouraged that the program will continue to improve."
The Hawks will rely heavily on the experienced upperclassmen for leadership. Senior Amber Grosch, who averaged 20.9 minutes a game last season was a very vocal player and one of the hardest working Hawks. Junior Natalie Whitman's 11.5 points per game and 8.3 rebounds were a big part of the Hawks success a year ago. Those numbers should improve now that the team is deeper which will force defensive attention across the board, not just on Whitman.
Sophomore Sarah Lorusso led the team in assists (63) last year and will continue to handle most of the point guard responsibilities. Sophomore Jenah Labuski is expected to be a major contributor, as she was second in rebounding (6.2) and scoring (8.2) her freshman year.
Sophomore Jessica Jamison should have a bigger role with the team this year, now that she is settled in after her mid-year transfer. And fellow sophomores Kateland Ball and Jenna Crans should see more minutes this season as they both bring energy to the team.
"As with last year's freshmen, this year's group of new players will also be looked upon to contribute right away. Sophomore Tiara Thomas and freshmen Dashlyn Johnson, Lauren Eggleston, Wyann Jackson, Erin Smith and Courtney Coots will be major factors in contributing to the growth in all areas in this year's team.
The Hawks open their season home versus Wells College on November 15th.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition.

At a funeral directors conference on Friday hosted by Scioto County Coroner Dr. Darren Adams the 2012 drug death statistics in Scioto County were revealed. According to the data, there were 15 direct drug deaths in 2012, down from 21 in 2011, the lowest since 2004. Drug related rose in 2012 to 13, up from 11 in 2011.
Adams explained that 14 out of the 15 direct drug deaths were the result of multiple drugs being found in the deceased person's system. Only one was from a single agent, Oxymorphone or Opana. Oxymorphone was found in six of the 15 deaths, followed by oxycodone found in five of the 15 deaths. Heroin was found in four out of the 15 deaths.
During the conference Adams gave some of the credit to former Scioto County Coroner and current State Representative Dr. Terry Johnson and House Bill (H.B.) 93.
"I applaud the efforts of all those involved in reducing the drug related deaths in our county, but it will take a concentrated effort of all the people in our county to continue the decreasing trend in drug deaths," Adams said in a released statement.
Johnson called House Bill 93 a key piece leading to the reduction but, stressed this kind of change starts with a grassroots community movement.
"Everybody was involved with that (grassroots community effort) from clergy, teachers to the health departments. I stood on the shoulders of the community when I authored that legislation (House Bill 93). The data shows this (H.B. 93) is paying off and it makes sense. It's very important for us to keep an eye on what's really important here, continuing the work and making sure we keep the members of our public as safe as possible."
According to the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services Scioto County was the leader in the state in prescription opioid deaths in 2011 with 25 deaths compared to 22 the year before.
Officials cited that in 2011 House Bill (H.B.) 93 was signed into law regulating pain clinics throughout Ohio calling it a first and critical step.
Throughout the state the percent of increase in deaths tied to opioid drug overdoses in 2011 was cut in half from 2010.
"We are encouraged that the rate of increase is going down but the number is still unacceptably high," said Orman Hall, ODADAS Director in a released statement. "As pill mills become increasingly scarce, we will see a shift to heroin and other non-prescription drugs so our interventions must be comprehensive and well supported as we move forward."
Ed Hughes, Director of Compass Community Health said the new numbers represents a significant decrease.
"We finally may have seen the calumniation of a lot of work that's been going on over the last five or six years," Hughes said.
He credited the work done by the Scioto County Drug Action Team and the creation of the Second Chance center as having a positive impact on the community.
"I was very encouraged to find out we finally had a very big data indicator that shows the things that we've been doing are now working," Hughes said.
Lisa Roberts, public nurse with the Portsmouth Health Department said this is another indication the work that was done by the community has paid off.
"Three years ago we were having double this amount of deaths that were prescription related. What I can tell by these numbers is that we did make a great big difference and that heroin has not been as deadly as the pain pills," Roberts said. "Our work is definitely not finished; I would like to see that number down to zero. We still have a lot of work to do and I would just about bet we're one of the few counties that has seen a reduction."
She said the problem of prescription overdose deaths is running ramped in other parts of the state currently.
Roberts credited some of the success to Project DAWN (Deaths Avoided with Naloxone) which was recently credited with saving its 14th life locally.
According to the Federal Drug Administration, Naloxone is a synthetic drug similar to morphine that blocks opiate receptors in the nervous system.
Participants of the program are trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of overdose and able to distinguish between types of overdoes. Participants also learn how to properly administer Naloxone.

Several Ladies Auxiliary members as well as some of the Veterans of Post 10624 were there to listen to these young students read their winning essays. "It was really wonderful to hear three young people talk about how great our nation is," says Kathy Thomas, scholastic chairman and member of the Ladies Auxiliary. All three students wrote about how our nation is one that our founding fathers can be proud of, and how lucky we are that we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Justin G. Cantwell, 18, of Ridge Spring was killed in the crash, and Dustin Day, 17, of Aiken is critically injured following the crash that occurred at around 1:30 a.m., according to Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton.

Rescue crews have found a body in a pond on Johns Island after a search that began when a man apparently lost his bearing and fell into a pond off Mary Ann Point Road while fishing.
At first, authorities had reported the man had fallen from a boat, but Charleston County Sheriff's Maj. James Brady issued a statement Tuesday night saying that initial reports were incorrect, that the man was standing on the bank of a pond when he slipped into the water.
There was a boat at the scene, Brady said, but it was not involved in the incident.
The victim was identified as 65-year-old Lovell Linton of Johns Island, according to Charleston County Deputy Coroner Kimberly Rhoton.
Crews were dispatched to the area, which is near Main and Chisolm roads, about 11:145 a.m., Brady said.
St. Johns firefighters, sheriff's deputies and paramedics searched the murky, 200-foot wide pond for Linton for several hours before finding his body.
Relatives at the scene said Linton would not get into a boat to fish because he could not swim.

The Georgetown County Sheriff's Office is asking for help from the public in locating whoever is responsible for shooting a woman at a Sampit club early Saturday.
Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Carrie Cuthbertspn says it happened at about 4 a.m. at the Yield Club located at 1411 Saints Delight Road.
The initial call indicated it happened at the Sugar Shack club.
According to Cuthbertson, deputies met the female victim at the Georgetown Memorial Hospital emergency room.
"The victim and a friend heard several males arguing while they were entering their vehicle to leave the establishment. The victim felt a burning sensation and realized she was shot," Cuthbertson said.
Other reports indicated the woman - whose name has not been released - was take from the scene in a personal vehicle but met an ambulance at an EMS station on Highway 521.
She had been shot in the right side. At first, EMS workers were unsure if it was a gunshot because they did not see an exit wound. When she arrived at the hospital it was confirmed the injury was from a gunshot.
Anyone that can identify the suspects or has any information about the shooting is urged to call the Sheriff's Office at (843) 546-5101.

While it's difficult to estimate your number of searches, Google Web History shows the total number of searches performed when you were logged in. The service was launched in April 2005, but my account shows data from December 2005.
Google Web History is enabled by default when you create a Google account and it records your searches, the search results you click on and your browsing history, but the last feature is opt-in.
In 2003, Google tested a counter that displayed the number of searches, but that feature didn't go live. "The counter is displayed at the bottom of Google's home page, and shows both a numeric count and a color bar to represent the frequency of your searching. (...) Beyond being an interesting gimmick, what's the purpose of the counter? Though Google has removed the counter FAQ page, its answer to the question What do I win was the zen-like There is no winning. There is only self-awareness. The search is endless."
