The present invention relates to methods for providing access independent global roaming between heterogeneous networks. The invention solves this problem and provides policy enforcement and service transparency when terminals roam between different heterogeneous networks. By providing a policy enforcement point associated with the terminal, and by concerning the transport mechanism between terminals and servers as a packet pipe, adding no extra value except transport and Quality of Service classification thereof. The payment for access and services can be separated and access may be paid in real-time by an anonymous payment method. In accordance with the invention, the terminal becomes more like a personal profile manager, managing rights to services and access. The ability to purchase access opens the possibility for the terminal to act as an e-commerce platform, and the subscriber can access any network any time since access is paid for in real time.

The present invention relates generally to a method for use in communications systems, and more particularly, the invention relates to a method of access independent global roaring. The invention further relates to a system and apparatus for carrying out the method.
A large number of fixed and mobile access standards are now available, such as Wideband-Code Division Multiple Access (W-COMA), Universal Mobile Telephone System-Time Division Duplex (UMTS-TDD), CDMA 2000, Wireless-Local Area Network (W-LAN), EDGE etc, all of which belong to the 3rd generation wireless standards. Each type of access standard has its own particular network concept; where Mobile Internet Protocol (Mobile IP) and the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) tunnelling protocol are the main two concepts. The invention, however, is not limited to the above mentioned concepts.
Using methods presently available, interoperability between different network concepts is not guaranteed. This is mainly due to three obstacles. First, there is a lack of common subscriber profiles, service standards and authentication mechanisms, preventing enforcement of policies relating, but not limited to, access and service authorization, and accounting and mobility in different networks. Second, there is a lack of common Quality of Service (QoS) versus resource allocation paradigm in the access networks, due to a bottom up instead of a top down approach in designing the data link layers with respect to QoS requirements. Third, there is a lack of common higher layer standards in the terminals, preventing service transparency when user terminals, i.e. clients, roam between different networks that carry specific services.
Thus, there is a problem with interoperability between heterogeneous networks mainly because of problems with authentication and service transparency in and between different networks. It is, of course, theoretically possible to harmonise disparate networks at all of the above levels and thus creating interoperability. There is, however, a need for an organic way of integrating heterogeneous networks and thus providing access independent global roaming.
The present invention therefore provides a solution to the problems of integrating heterogeneous networks, providing for access independent global roaming and access to services via heterogeneous networks, without a need for harmonising disparate networks.
An object of the invention is to provide access independent global roaming in heterogeneous networks.
Another object of the invention is to provide policy enforcement and service transparency when terminals roam between different heterogeneous networks.
The invention achieves the above mentioned objects in embodiments thereof by:
moving at least essential or all service related functions out of the network into the periphery, i.e. clients or user terminals and servers, by separating service and access functions,
conceiving the transport mechanism between clients or terminals and servers as a packet pipe, not necessarily adding extra value except transport and Quality of Service (QoS) classification thereof,
separating the charging of transport from the charging of services and introducing real-time payment of transport,
defining policies, basically a sot of rights and obligations, in a policy definition point, e.g. operator servers, enforcing policies in a policy enforcement point residing in the client, e.g. the user terminal, and
standardising and modularising a client or terminal architecture that supports the above entities.
More specifically, the policies defined in the policy definition point are enforced locally in the user terminal in a local policy enforcement point instead of, as usual, in the network. By policies in this context is meant, among others, a set of rights and obligations pertaining to authentication of users, authorization to access and services as well as purchasing and brokering of transport resources and security, Accounting policies may govern the charging functions for access charging and service charging. By the separation of service and access functions, transport can be paid for separately, e.g. in real-time via a credit card, pre-paid card, cash card or the like and services can be paid for as usual e.g. as per invoice from a service provider, for example.
The client or terminal thus acts more as a personal profile manager, enforcing policies, hence managing rights to services and access. Services and access are controlled in the terminal by the local policy enforcement point and the terminal/profile manager is access independent, since access can be purchased in real-time. Thus, the subscriber can access any network at any time, considered the right modem or layer 1 and layer 2 access module is provided. Reference is made to the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) model.
By adopting the proposed solution, as described in the embodiments of the invention, global roaming is possible between heterogeneous networks such as, CDMA 2000, W-LAN, EDGE and UMTS. The ability, with the present invention, to purchase access also opens the possibility for the terminal to act as an e-commerce platform; i.e. the terminal can be used to purchase anything, not just access.
The term transport used in this specification may identify an access network such as CDMA2000, W-CDMA etc. or e.g. both an access network and a core IP-network. The term access is used synonymous to the term transport.
Although the invention has been summarised above, the method and arrangement according to the appended independent claims define the scope of the invention. Various embodiments are further defined in the dependent claims.
The objects and advantages of the invention will be understood by reading the following detailed description in conjunction with the drawings, in which:
The various features of the invention will now be described with reference to the figures, in which like parts are identified with the same reference character. In the following description, for purpose of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular circuits, components, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practised in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known methods, devices and circuits are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention.
The present invention describes a method of and a system for providing access independent global roaming between heterogeneous networks and solves the problem with policy enforcement and service transparency in and between different networks. The solution contains a number of salient features.
The solution according to the invention will now be further described in more detail with references to
The service domain, which covers the higher layers, e.g. OSI-model, consists of a server cluster called Secure Mobile Portal (SMP) 100 and a client, governed by a Local Policy Enforcement Point (LPEP) 110 residing in the client or terminal 120. A secure encrypted packet transportation tunnel 130 connects the SMP 100 and the LPEP 110 in a Client-Server relationship. This tunnel is enabled by the establishment of shared secrets between the SMP 100 and the LPEP 110, contained in a policy, which is used to generate encryption keys for the packets, e.g. IP (Internet Protocol) packets. Since each IP packet is encrypted with a unique key, i.e. a shared secret between the service provider and the service buyer, each packet received by the SMP 100 will be seen as a de facto authentication of the service buyer or subscriber by the service provider.
The SMP 100 acts as a Policy Definition Point (PDP) for the LPEP 110 defining policies with respect to services, authentication of subscribers, authorization to access and services, accounting, mobility and security for the subscriber. The LPEP 110 residing in the client 120 enforces the policies defined in the SMP 100. A feature of the architecture is that charging for transport and services can be separated. Transport can be paid for in real-time using, for example, a pre-paid card, credit card, a cash card or the like. Transactions in the service domain can be paid for as usual e.g. as per invoice, for example.
The transport domain, consisting of an IP based core network 140 and IP based access networks such as designated by the acronyms CDMA 2000-, EDGE-, W-LAN-, W-CDMA- or fixed or cable networks, transports packets from the SMP 100 to the LPEP 110. The layer 1 and layer 2 part 150 of the client or terminal 120 also belongs to the transport domain and is preferably implemented as interchangeable modules (modems) for different access standards such as W-CDMA, EDGE, CDMA 2000, W-LAN etc. The transport domain not necessarily adds value to the packets, except that it classifies the packets according to Quality of Service and transports the packets to the end destination, guaranteeing access to physical resources where this is appropriate.
The different access networks in the transport domain must have the appropriate interfaces and support agreed on Quality of Service definitions, a so-called packet pipe 130. The packet pipe 130 provides layer 1 and layer 2 functions to convey packet data traffic across radio air interfaces, for example. As part of the transport domain, the access networks must also be able to process charging information in the embodiment of the invention wherein transport charging is independent of service charging. That is, wherein access charging is independent from any other charging, and is seen as a separate entity. The transport domain thus involves means for charging a subscriber for transport used, e.g. via a pre-paid card, credit card, cash card or other means. It is not necessary that a subscriber is authenticated or authorised by a service provider before transport charging takes place. It is only necessary to validate the pre-paid card, credit card, cash card or the like, i.e. it is possible to implement anonymous payment methods for transport. Access providers can accept different types of payment methods for payment of transport; e.g. some access providers may accept all major credit cards and their own special cash card for paying for access to their networks. This can be compared to when stores have a sticker on the entrance informing what credit cards they accept, for example.
The structure and operation of an exemplary embodiment of the LPEP 110 resident in the client or terminal 120 will now be described in more detail with reference to
Each relation that the subscriber has with SMP's 100 or CV's 220 is defined with a number of parameters 310. In the embodiment shown at least four parameters have been defined. These are obligations, rights, and a shared secret, i.e. a unique identity and an encryption key, and an IP-address to the SMP 100 or the CV 220. These relations are negotiated either in real time using public key infrastructure or by signing up for a service and receiving the obligations, rights, shared secret and IP-address 310 to the SMP 100 or CV 220 by mail, for example.
The LPEP 110 is also responsible for authenticating the subscriber via e.g. a PiN-code or a fingerprint reader. If the subscriber is authorised he gains access to the LPEP 110. It is possible that the LPEP 110 serves more than one subscriber, then the authentication database 320 stores several subscribers A, B, . . . 330 and their corresponding identification keys key 1, key 2, . . . 340. The LPEP key 350 on the other hand is used for identifying the LPEP 110 to the SMP 100 and for encrypting the traffic between the LPEP 110 and the SMP 100 or CV 220.
During a communication session the LPEP 110 maintains an accounting log 360 containing accounting information 310 pertaining to the session, such as start time, stop time and service utilised. This accounting log 360 can be used by the SMP 100 for billing and auditing purposes. At completion of the session the LPEP 110 can forward the accounting log 360 to the SMP 100 and the SMP 100 replies in agreement or disagreement, i.e. compare the accounting log in the SMP 100 with the one generated in the LPEP 110. Alternatively the accounting log 360 is transmitted from the LPEP 110 to the SMP 100 at regular intervals, such as at the end of the day.

The terminal also contains a layer 2 IP switch 630 and a layer 3 IP router 640 between the modems 600 a-c and the applications interface 650. This enables the user 660 the possibility to have several information flows between applications 670 and modems 600 a-c active at the same time. For example can a voice over IP data flow be maintained through a W-CDMA network, at the same time as a multimedia flow is maintained through a W-LAN network, while the terminal at the same time is receiving a best effort flow from another terminal, through a Bluetooth™ modem. This possibility to route a plurality of data flows from a plurality of modems 600 a-c is possible because of the included layer 2 IP switch 630, and layer 3 IP routing 640. This embodiment also makes it possible for the terminal to hand over a communication session from one communications network to another, by re-routing the data flow from one modem port to another.
The access discovery function 680 of the terminal is continuously active, scanning the surroundings for access possibilities and generates a record of all available access possibilities. The access selection function 690 is responsible for requesting access and presenting credentials to the desired access network depending on the service requested from the service layers and also for preparing to interconnect with the chosen access network.
The policy enforcement engine 610 and the policy repository 620 in the control part connect the modems 600 a-c in the access part with the user 660 and the API's in the service part. More specifically the policy enforcement engine 610 in the control part has the responsibility for a variety of tasks such as authenticating the user 660 to the terminal, authorising the user 560 to services and collecting accounting data. These and other tasks will be further described in relation to FIG. 8.
The policy repository 620 of the terminal can be seen as a database containing the subscribers relationship to access providers, service providers as well as individual clients, i.e. the obligations, rights, shared secrets and addresses to credential verifiers or SMP's. These relationships can be varying and sometimes extremely complex. Also these relationships may need to be updated at any time.
Some service providers may e.g. have a hierarchical relation between different aspects of its service. For example a special access network or a special gateway might need to be used or passed before a particular service can be executed and perhaps a trusted relationship will have to be enacted for a particular session. Other service provider might be non-hierarchical, which means that the different services are open and enacted at the same level, e.g. in that any access network may be used.
A subscriber may have a relationship to many different structures, hierarchical and flat. For example, subscriber A has a private subscription with provider X for voice and web browsing. Under the voice service, subscriber A communicates following a specific policy with subscriber B. Subscriber A also has a specific business relationship to subscriber C. such that all packets to subscriber C will be encrypted and directly transferred to subscriber C. In addition to his private subscription with provider X and his occupational relationship with subscriber C, subscriber A may also be a member of an exclusive business club that operates a club server. His club membership fee provides subscriber A encrypted voice and data traffic services to all other members of the business club. The bank at which subscriber A has an account, may also operate a server of their own, and may have deployed a policy in the terminal of subscriber A, such that he always can access his bank account, even at midnights. Both the bank and the business club need to purchase the service of some MSP, in order to know the whereabouts of subscriber A, that is unless the bank or business club operates an MSP themselves. All these relationships are reflected in the policy repository 620.
Each relationship a user 660 or subscriber would like to enter into is defined using a number of at least three or four parameters. These are rights, obligations, shared secret, and address to a credential verifier or SMP, thus creating a policy block. The policy repository 620 contains several policy blocks defining the relationships that exists between the user 660 and different service providers as well as individuals.
The policy repository 620 can be accessed from outside 695 of the terminal providing the user has opened the policy repository 620 by e.g. a personal identification code, a fingerprint reading or other means. Then a service provider can update their policy block and relevant coupling coefficients. Once the service provider has entered its policies into the policy repository 620 these can be updated at will by the service provider providing such an agreement exists. If no such agreement exists the subscriber must open the policy repository 620 every time before changes can be made.
The policy enforcement engine 610 thus enforces policies defined in policy repositories 620. This implies e.g. that rental cars, hotel rooms etc. can be provided with policy enforcement engines 610 executing the policies in a user's or visitor's policy repository 620. Both the policy enforcement engine 610 and the policy repository 620 is preferably implemented as computer programs on a suitable media, e.g. smart cards together with a suitable wireless access product such as Bluetooth™. Other implementations are of course possible, e.g. integrated circuits, a circuit board in the terminal or as a separate circuit board that can be inserted into any appropriate terminal.
A coupling matrix is defined between the policy blocks, defining their hierarchical relationship. Relationships between policy blocks xi, yj and policy blocks xk, y┐ are determined by a coupling coefficient K, ij, k┐. If the coupling coefficient is 0, than there is no relationship. If the coupling coefficient is +1, than block k,┐ is dependent on block i,j implying that block i,j has a higher position in the hierarchy than block k,┐ and that block i,j must be enacted before block k,┐.
If the coupling coefficient is −1, than block k,┐ supersedes block i,j, implying that block i,j has a lower position in the hierarchy than block k,┐.
With reference now to both
The access discovery function 680, which is continuously active, has scanner all available access networks and found the above mentioned access possibilities 700-725 and made a record of what is available. The user 660 now e.g. wants to initiate a web-service and thus via the applications interface 650 agree on parameters, i.e. some Quality of Service value for the session. e.g. the transmission rate. The applications interface 650 thereafter asks the policy enforcement engine 610 to enact the requested web-service. The policy enforcement engine 610 then collects data from the policy repository 620 and the access selection function 690 to set up a channel that complies with the agreed parameters and the requested service and thereafter activates the connection.
If the user 660 does not have a subscription to the requested network, the policy enforcement engine 610 presents credentials to the appropriate access supplier. The credentials can e.g. be a credit card accepted by the access supplier. The policy enforcement engine 610 then launches the requested web-service according to the policies in the policy repository 620. The policy enforcement engine 610 tracks data exchanged during the executed web-service according to policies for accounting and verification purposes. Then the policy enforcement engine 610 disconnects the application 670 and assembles the accounting data.
Another possibility occurs if the terminal does not have the appropriate modem 600 a-c for the best access network. Imagine for example that the GPRS network 710 is most suitable for the requested web-service but the user terminal only has a W-CDMA interface. The solution is the Bluetooth™ modem 740 a-b attached to the terminal, which makes it possible to use the modems 500 a-c of a neighbouring terminal. The Bluetooth™ modem, 740 a-b in the neighbouring terminal then acts as an access point or bridge to access the GPRS modem of the other terminal.
The user or subscriber physical owns the PEP. The content of the PEP can be the ownership of many parties. The subscriber controls access to the PEP., and can delegate these rights to another party, for example an operator, or other service provider The PO and its sub-domains can be accessed from outside, providing the user initially opens the PD (by a card opening PIN or by other means). The service provider can enter its policy blocks, as well as the relevant coupling factors that define the relationship between the policies of the service operator. Once the service provider has entered its policies into the PEP, these can be updated at will by the service provider, providing such an agreement exists. If there is no such agreement, then the PD must be opened each tire by default, for example.
The LPEP can be realized physically in many different ways. It can be on board in a mobile terminal, it can be part of a network termination equipment in the residence, it can be a separate board which can be inserted into any appropriate terminal when the user wishes to make a call, or it can be a separate PEP board encapsulated together with a suitable wireless access product (such as Bluetooth™). The PEP may communicate with the client that the subscriber wishes to use for communication according to the principles defined above.
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be appreciated by a person skilled in art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.

Tires hurt,

far too long-
Rubbed raw…
A few feet away, fist-sized clouds of
Tiny Scarlet Trempeleau Butterflies paused-
Sipping nectar glistening like jewels from
Morning drops of dew, clinging to the running
Strands of Wild Pea Bush, with only daybreak in
The distance…
These beasts outside my window,
Hazy under Old London Street Lamps-
Silently glooming in middle night, awaiting call to arms
Of rush-hour traffic...

Draft Stock Watch: Forbes takes wing, rises on draft charts
Originally Published: May 30, 2008By Chad Ford | ESPN.com
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The second full day of the pre-draft camp saw many GMs ignoring what was actually happening on the court and instead spending time in the halls discussing deals.
I spent Thursday watching games and talking to NBA scouts and executives. Here is what they're saying about Thursday's performances:
UMass forward Gary Forbes continues to be the talk of the camp. Forbes had a stellar 30 points in just 25 minutes of play. He was 7-for-16 from the field ...

Russian Dispute With Ukraine Worsens, Hitting Europe
Anyone who thinks the oil market is a "free market" is seriously delusional. The two largest producers--OPEC and Russia--have enormous power over prices. Russia's curtailment of gas supplies to a large swath of Europe in the middle of winter is causing a scramble for other heating fuels, like heating oil, and that is driving up the entire energy complex. Speculators add to this buying pressure.

Grossfuss plays on victorious N.C. all-star team
Before going from a Lee County Yellow Jacket to a Lynchburg Hornet, Ben Grossfuss played one last high school soccer match last Saturday.
As one of the top seniors in North Carolina, Grossfuss represented N.C. in the seventh Clash of the Carolinas all-star game at Blackbaud Stadium, home of USL Pro franchise Charleston Battery. Grossfuss became the first Lee County soccer standout to play in a Clash of the Carolinas match.
North Carolina defeated South Carolina 2-0, with both tallies coming in the last 16 minutes of the match. Ashley High defender Gary O'Neill scored off a free kick in the 65th minute and Jacksonville midfielder Aaron Sparks scored in the 78th minute. North Carolina has three straight victories versus South Carolina.
The Clash of the Carolina's is the only state vs. state high school all-star match in the country.
The North Carolina squad was selected by the North Carolina Soccer Coaches Association from a pool of the 2012 NCSCA All-State seniors. Co-coaches for the N.C. team were Tim Healy from Cardinal Gibbons and Brent Walston from Corinth Holders.
Grossfuss was all-state along with being the Tri-Nine Conference Player of the Year and an All-South Region player by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. He scored 29 goals as a junior and 23 goals in his senior season as a Yellow Jacket.
Grossfuss will be attending Lynchburg College in the fall. He's a member of the National Honor Society and DECA Key. Along with the soccer honors, Grossfuss was a Yellow Jacket baseball player and all-conference placekicker for Lee County football.

Pharmaceutical Sales Tips Revealed!
Current Articles
RSS Feed
Read More
One of the common misconceptions about pharmaceutical sales reps is that they are all extremely attractive. Whether male or female this misconception persists for several reasons. While many pharma sales reps tend to be seen as very attractive by their peers and associates. There are many who are as average looking as in any other profession. BUT, I do believe their is a correlation between "perceived attractiveness" and success in business. This applies even more so to pharma sales. Think about it, all things being equal are you more likely to purchase a product from a more attractive or less attractive person? Of course, the salesperson's looks should not matter BUT in many instances perceived attractiveness makes a difference in from whom AND whether or not a prospect purchase a particular product or service.
One of the primary challenges sales representatives have in their sales role is getting a customer who is using their competitor's product to SWITCH to using THEIR PRODUCT. Every industry, product, and niche has their own process for getting a customer to switch. I will discuss the top 3 best practices for getting a physician customer to switch to your product in the pharmaceutical sales industry.
1-PIPELINE, PIPELINE, PIPELINE – Choose a company with a promising pipeline.
So, WTH is pharmaceutical sales?
Documented Sales Success – Why must you show documented sales success? You must show documented sales success because the logic of behavioral interviewing goes: if you have done it before (that is: produce SALES on a consistent basis), you can do it again. Your objective is to show how and why you were one of the top sales reps in your past roles. Showing your sales results from the past PROVE IT.

Has anybody ever played a cocktail kit?
Just curious, they look cool.
Re: Has anybody ever played a cocktail kit?
I did years ago. a buddy of mine had me do a few gigs with his dads trio while he was at college. Piano, Sax and cocktail kit.. Different but cool.
Re: Has anybody ever played a cocktail kit?
I've never played one, but definitely looking into buying one!
Just looking at the GP Percussion and Trixon ones on Ebay...has anyone tried one of these cheaper models? Any review? I'm dying to buy one and willing to try it out if those are any good.
Re: Has anybody ever played a cocktail kit?
They do look cool. There are a few of us on the forum who have them. They have their limitations, but they are definitely head-turners at gigs. I've got a Trixon, and have owned a Steve Jordan one as well, which I sold like an idiot. I haven't gigged with mine in over a year, and it's not really worth the money for me to sell it, so it sits in a corner of my basement and I play with it every few months. It's a cooler looking corner of the basement than it was before the kit got stuck there.
This dude rocks his cocktail kit out hardcore!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzB9s...eature=related

The Domino Effect
Monday, October 30, 2006
A good viral video sets off a chain reaction that continues until nearly everyone has seen it, including your mom. The mad scientists known as EepyBird know a thing or two about chain reactions. They first rocketed into viral video fame by turning the explosive act of mixing Diet Coke and Mentos into an art form. Today they're back with a chain reaction like none other: 500 liters of Diet Coke and 1500+ Mentos, all triggered by the pull of one string.
Don't miss The Domino Effect -- a Google Video exclusive. In addition to being very fun, it demonstrates another interesting application of our Sponsored Video program -- this time with user-generated content. This helps producers like EepyBird earn revenue by pairing them up with our advertising partners.
We're excited to help compensate these independent producers for their creativity, and we can't wait to see who the next stars will be. If you have very compelling videos and are interested in this program, please get in touch.

Clothing & Shoes at Daycare & Preschool
|Related Pages
My baby has been wearing pedipeds originals and now that she is walking, her daycare is asking for shoes that will protect her feet from being run over with a bicycle, wagon etc.(the pedipeds are completely soft like a sock). They also have several different surfaces such as tambark, rocks, gravel, grass etc. They are asking for at least the pediped flex style shoes and I want to keep her in the orignal style. Am I being unreasonable? mom
It sounds like the daycare providers are genuinely concerned about your daughter's safety, and their argument seems reasonable. I myself would not want to walk over rocks/gravel in just socks, and babies' feet are even more tender than adults'. I think it's OK to buy the new shoes, and I suspect that in a few months time it won't feel like a big deal to you anymore. Take care.

Wardrobe minimalism, personal minimalism, fashion minimalism—it represents concern at the amount of trash we generate and the money we waste, but also a continued fixation on defining ourselves through things. Europeans, writes Keila Tyner, have the balance right: "we should consider how all the cheap clothing we buy may be indirectly costing us much more than we realize."

U.S. Rep. Phil Roe speaks Monday with addiction specialists at Watauga Recovery Center in Johnson City. (Nathan Baker/Johnson City Press)
Doctors working at the region's largest addiction treatment center met with state and federal lawmakers Monday in Johnson City to plead for reforms to restrictive laws they say hinder their efforts and put lives at risk.
Addiction specialist Tom Reach spoke with state Rep. Tony Shipley of Kingsport and U.S. Rep. Phil Roe at the Watauga Recovery Center about the group's efforts to overcome the stigma attached to prescription treatment for opioid dependency and the need for changes to statutes that leave the physicians handcuffed when attempting to treat patients.
The clinic serves 400 patients at the Browns Mill Road location, treating their dependencies with buprenorphine, branded as Subutex and Suboxone.
Because of caps set on certified addiction specialists by the federal Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000, limiting them to only treating 100 patients at a time, the center has a four- to six-month wait list, and some patients die of overdose before seeing a doctor, Reach said.
"We have something beneficial here, that really does work, and other doctors are poisoning the well by prescribing it off-label," he said. "Then, the federal government stepped in, and they ended up creating another problem rather than addressing the original problem."
The patient limits put the Watauga Recover Center's Abingdon, Va., clinic in the Drug Enforcement Administration's crosshairs recently when it lost four doctors.
Instead of shedding 400 patients in various stages of recovery, a clear violation of the Hippocratic Oath, according to Reach, the clinic's doctors kept the full patient load, knowingly against federal law.
"We couldn't turn them out on the streets, so we continued to treat them," he said. "Now we're being investigated by the DEA."
Reach said he is communicating with the DEA, an experienced legal team and federal officials on how best to deal with the ethical dilemma.
Buprenorphine, known as Subutex, was created and approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat dependency on opiates.
By adding naloxone, the drug known as Suboxone deters abuse by injection by making the person injecting it feel sick.
The problem of doctor shopping arose when general practitioners not licensed to treat addiction began prescribing the drugs for pain relief instead of their intended use.
The resulting widespread abuse has led to other negative spinoff effects, like the rise of heroin use and the number of babies in the state born suffering from neonatal abstinence syndrome, or drug withdrawal symptoms.
To combat the epidemic level of prescription abuse in the state, Shipley worked with recovery center staff to sponsor the Opiate Addiction Treatment Act of 2015, otherwise known as "Bella's Law."
Under the statute, doctors would be limited to prescribing Subutex and Suboxone for only the uses approved by the FDA, making it illegal for doctors to prescribe them for pain treatment.
Pregnant women, nursing mothers or patients with documented hypersensitivity to naloxone can be prescribed the drug without the abuse control additive, but no others.
Shipley said he intends to file the bill in January at the start of the next legislative session, and he expects an easy passage into law.
"If you work out the dynamic costs, how much we pay for health care for people and to put them in jail for abusing these drugs, it's actually less expensive to society to get them into the proper treatment programs," the representative said.
Addiction specialist Kim Roller worked closely with Shipley to draft the legislation.
She said much of the fight will be to educate doctors and the public about addiction.
"People need to realize that it's a disease," she said. "A few years ago, there was a similar stigma attached to depression, but once people realized it was a true medical condition, that stigma has been mostly shed. That's what we're hoping for with Bella's Law."
After the meeting with the physicians, Roe said he intends to gather more information about addiction and the federal laws governing their treatment before taking action.
"It's a sophisticated issue," Roe said. "They educated me about the problem they're facing, and I'm going to continue that education process."

It is water-soluble, which means it is not stored in the body. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water. Leftover amounts of the vitamin leave the body through the urine. That means you need a continuous supply of such vitamins in your diet.I Would Like to Learn About:Expand All Collapse All Function Niacin helps the digestive system, skin, and nerves to function. It is also important for converting food to energy. Food Sources Niacin (also known as vitamin B3) is found in:Dairy products Eggs Enriched breads and cereals Fish Lean meats Legumes Nuts PoultryNiacin and Cardiovascular DiseaseFor many years, doses of 1 - 3 grams of nicotinic acid per day has been a treatment option for low HDL cholesterol and high LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Side Effects A deficiency of niacin causes pellagra. The symptoms include:PellagraPellagra is a disease that occurs when a person does not get enough niacin (one of the B complex vitamins) or tryptophan (an amino acid).ImageRead Article Now Book Mark Article Digestive problems Inflamed skin Mental impairmentLarge doses of niacin can cause:Increased blood sugar (glucose) level) Liver damage Peptic ulcers Peptic ulcersA peptic ulcer is an open sore or raw area in the lining of the stomach or intestine.

A duodenal ulcer occurs ...ImageRead Article Now Book Mark Article Skin rashesSkin rashesRashes involve changes in the color or texture of your skin.ImageRead Article Now Book Mark Article Even normal doses can be associated with feeling warmth, redness, itching or tingling of the face, neck, arms or upper chest. This is called "flushing" and it usually improves after taking niacin on a regular basis for awhile. To prevent flushing, do not drink hot beverages or alcohol at the same time you take niacin. New forms of nicotinic acid reduce this side effect. Nicotinamide does not cause these side effects. Recommendations Reference IntakesRecommendations for niacin and other nutrients are provided in the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), which are developed by the Food and Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine. DRI is the term for a set of reference values that are used to plan and assess the nutrient intakes of healthy people. These values, which vary by age and gender, include:Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): average daily level of intake that is enough to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97 - 98%) healthy people. Adequate Intake (AI): when there is not enough evidence to develop an RDA, the AI is set at a level that is thought to ensure enough nutrition.Dietary Reference Intakes for Niacin:Infants0 - 6 months: 2* milligrams per day (mg/day) 7 - 12 months: 4* mg/day*Adequate Intake (AI)Children1 - 3 years: 6 mg/day 4 - 8 years: 8 mg/day 9 - 13 years: 12 mg/dayAdolescents and AdultsMales age 14 and older: 16 mg/day Females age 14 and older: 14 mg/daySpecific recommendations depend on age, gender, and other factors (such as pregnancy). Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding need higher amounts. Ask your health care provider which amount is best for you.The best way to get the daily requirement of essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet that contains a variety of foods.Related Information Open ReferencesReferencesEscott-Stump S, ed.

Penny Phares
Psychiatric Nurse, MSN, ARNP, RPTS
"As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner I come from a discipline of wellness and prevention. Nursing concentrates on how the human responds to the environment and disease. It is my goal to help the client understand their own feelings and behavior and make choices for themselves and their families that improve their circumstances. Education in neuroscience is part of the process of treatment. Understanding how infant's brains develop, respond to nurture as well as abuse and neglect, shed insight into child and adult behaviors as well as parenting styles.

Heron Pond Counseling, Inc.
Clinical Social Work/Therapist
"Often by the time a client calls for help, he or she has already tried to change by themselves. What I offer first is information about mental wellness and/or addiction as it relates to your particular difficulty. Sometimes just understanding why we do what we do is the first step to change. Then together we work on a plan to help reach a goal as you define it. Change is always possible: unfortunately, we often struggle until the pain of staying the way we are is worse than the pain of the change. Success is worth the effort!

Counselor, MA, LMHC
"Twenty-three years of practicing psychotherapy with individuals, couples, adolescents, and marriage and family has afforded me a broad knowledge base and understanding of human behavior and the underlying motivations of stress related outcomes.

now or later?
Hi... I'm new to this forum and Mac but I have decided that I'm going to buy a MBP, I don't need it right now so I'm just wondering if I wait will Leopard then be included in the MBP price or will I then have to buy the new OS and install it myself?
Thanks in advance
~ 98jokl
If you don't need to buy right this minute just wait a while – maybe only a few weeks – and when Leopard's released it'll be pre-installed (maybe not straight away - if you buy the day it's launched you might get a pack of disks to install it yourself - but certainly soon after).
if you buy it before leopard comes out, you will have tiger, which is just fine.
if you wait, possibly for another few months, you can get a new system with leopard installed out of the box.
you can always upgrade from tiger to leopard anytime after leopard comes out for about $129 US.
do you think leopard will be out in march/april? because then ill just wait
It's impossible to say. Some reports indicate end-March. One thing worth considering is that this is a pretty quiet time of year sales-wise. If you have the money to buy now, it might be worth phoning Apple and haggling a bit. It depends if you're confident enough to stick at it. You'll get a better deal on the phone. I just got a great deal on a 20-inch iMac, Elgato EyeTV Hybrid, AppleCare and a Universal iPod dock.
As eric says, Tiger is great and will give you something to play with for now...
Buy the computer when you need a new computer. Don't look at what may or may not come out in the near or far future. No matter what you do, something better will always be released that is better than what you currently have.
When you need a new computer, and have the money to afford one, go get one.
yeah... i think ill wait until mid-april

Formula 1 World Champions Red Bull have called for change at engine partners Renault after an "unacceptable" performance in the Austrian Grand Prix which saw only one of their four cars (including Toro Rosso) finish the race on their home track.
Quadruple world champion Sebastian Vettel retired from the race at Spielberg with an electronics problem, his third failure to finish this season due to an issue with the new V6 turbo hybrid power unit.
"The reliability is unacceptable. The performance is unacceptable. There needs to be change at Renault," Team Principal Christian Horner told reporters. "It can't continue like this. It's not good for Renault and it's not good for Red Bull."
The champions, winner of both titles for the past four years with Renault power, are now 158 points behind leaders Mercedes after eight races.
Australian Daniel Ricciardo won the previous Canadian Grand Prix but was a distant eighth on Sunday.
Renault Sport F1's Deputy Managing Director Rob White said that the French manufacturer, who started the year well behind Mercedes on performance, admitted, "The anxiety that Christian feels, and the frustration he feels after a result that is not at the full potential of the performance of car and power unit, is completely understandable and shared by us."
"We know what is expected of us and individually and collectively we must buckle down in the right direction," added White.
Renault's Rémi Taffin summed up the sentiment in the Renault camp immediately after the race at Red Bull Ring, "Safe to say it's been a very tough weekend for us. We came here believing that the circuit would not suit the characteristics of the Renault Energy F1 Power."
He added, "The [Renault] Power Unit is not strong on the straights but there are many other good qualities to it, which we have not been able to show today."
"Unfortunately we also experienced some issues, which have put us in a negative light. With Sebastian's car the team experienced an issue linked to switching maps at the start. We will look at why this happened as it cost the team a lot of valuable points."
"It could be an issue with our software but it could also be linked to common software – in either case it clearly needs a lot of investigation," admitted Taffin.
Horner made clear that Red Bull would stay with Renault next season, when Honda are due to make their return as partners to McLaren, but he wanted to see a big improvement. The only other current F1 engine manufacturers are Mercedes and Ferrari.
"We need to work together as partners. There will not be another engine in the back of the car next year, but we want to be competitive and we want to run at the front," said Horner.
"Something needs to happen because whatever's being done there at the moment isn't working. It's not our business, it's not our responsibility. We're the end user and it's just frustrating that it's not where it needs to be at the moment," added the Briton. (Reuters)

Best New Place For Frozen Custard St. Louis 2001 - Whistle Stop
1 Carson Road
St. Louis, MO 63135
The Whistle Stop, located at Ferguson's historic train depot near the intersection of Florissant and Carson roads, offers some of the tastiest frozen treats around. Basic flavors are chocolate and vanilla; toppings include standard syrups, candies, fruits and nuts. Two Ferguson couples, the Jameses and the Cunninghams, launched the business earlier this year in conjunction with the reopening of the landmark train depot. They took a course in ice-cream-making, and the result has been an instant hit with the locals, many of whom still pined for Turner's, a Ferguson custard stand that closed in the early 1990s. The Whistle Stop borrows heavily on the railroad theme: concrete and sundae specials bear train-related names. Our particular favorite is the Conductor, a strawberry-and-hot-fudge concrete that in a healthy-sized regular serving costs $3.10. Although the heart-stopping, waistline-expanding custard is worth the trip, visitors get the extra bonus of viewing train- and Ferguson-related memorabilia that offer a glimpse at life in the North County burg 100 years ago.

The Life of an Abducted Bride
By Tigist Gizachew | Categories: Child Survival, Country Staff
Despite the Ethiopian government's efforts to eradicate bridal abduction, it's still frequently practiced in some rural areas. Bridal abduction has been illegal since 2005, but outside of the capital, the law is interpreted very loosely by the police and judges. Hence, girls as young as 11 years old are abducted and are given in marriage…

Psy has been a very busy man since "Gangnam Style" rose to international success, appearing on TV, being signed by Scooter Braun to Schoolboy Records (Yes, that is the same manager Justin Bieber has), and even stopping by the United Nations to talk with Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, so it's about time he released a followup song.
