The Opioid Crisis: Trying to Do More with Less
Nearly two months ago, President Trump unofficially announced that the opioid crisis in America was a national emergency. Yet, the official declaration has yet to be signed. This could free up additional funding for highly affected areas, while giving states regulatory flexibility in order to quickly treat more people suffering from opioid dependence and misuse. West Virginia has the highest rate of fatal opioid overdoses in the country, killing 36 people out of every 100,000. That's three times the per capita rate for the entire country. Dr. Rahul Gupta, West Virginia's Public Health Commissioner, says until that declaration is signed, it's about "doing more with less." He meets with Soledad O'Brien to discuss the severity of the opioid crisis in his state and the nation's pain culture.

DC Universe Online Gives Players a Home of Their Own
Looking for a place of your own in DC Universe Online? Is chilling at the Watchtower not as comfortable as you had hoped? Well, hold tight, because soon you can make your very own Batcave!
A new trailer has gone up, courtesy of Classic Game Room, which shows off what players have to look forward to upon the update's release. Both heroes and villains will have the ability to design their own personal hangout, so housing is guaranteed, no matter what your alignment.
Not only will you be able to customize your own awesome home base, but the addition of the Mainframe feature will let you craft gadgets and mods to use while you're in the field. You can grab these goodies from your handy new Dispenser. You also get access to new research mods to buff up your equipment and supply drops that help you recover.
But perhaps the coolest part of this update is the addition of backup/henchmen for heroes and villains, respectively. You can use these helpful lemmings to take down tougher foes, and each group of allies will be modeled after your home base's theme.
And even better? You can have sidekicks. If you've ever wanted to pass on the tricks of your trade to a promising young protege, then now's your chance! You'll even have access to accomplices, which are like lesser forms of sidekicks, but both are definitely a lot beefier than their backup/henchmen counterparts.
If you find yourself really in a heap of trouble, even with all of the extra help, then you can call on your Mainframe to bring down one of the tastiest weapons of all: an orbital strike from the heavens.
There's nothing quite like bringing down the wrath of ages from space.
The update will be coming soon, on January 29th, 2013, so make sure you've grabbed a few of your super-powered friends to help you move your stuff. Promise them pizza for their hard work, even if they can just lift the moving truck singlehandedly.
Check out the trailer below and let us know what your thoughts are about these humble new abodes!

Walk2gether has left a lasting impact in Venezuela in the form of five murals located along the walk route.
The murals, each about 2 meters by 4 meters, were designed by a sponsored scholar and a CFCA volunteer from Spain. The majority of the work was completed by sponsored youth and scholar students, with some help from parents and CFCA staff.
It took one full weekend and nearly 40 gallons of paint to complete the murals. The mural team split into five groups and spent a Saturday sketching the murals and began painting (the surface was prepped the weekend before). They completed the painting the next day.
The murals symbolize scenes from the walk with a focus on nature and the importance of preserving our environment.
Sunilde PÈrez, Barquisimeto project coordinator, said of the environmental theme in the murals, "We are all united as one community."
The central theme of the walk is to remind families that they are not alone. The CFCA familyómade up of sponsors, staff, volunteers and other sponsored membersóis with them every step of the way.
"We are all in this together," Sunilde said. "Everything that we do has an effect. When the walk passes through, it affects all of us, as well as our environment."

"Ramona and Beezus" is the sort of film that rarely gets made anymore. It's a clear throwback to the kinder, gentler style of family stories that were common in TV shows and movies of the 1950s. It's a genuine G-rated tale that centers on the life and times of Ramona, a rambunctious 9-year-old girl.
Based on the popular book, it deals with familiar themes of childhood and growing up in a mostly happy home. So many modern movies for kids deal with plots that are fantastic, outrageous or ridiculous. This one focuses on the everyday events of school, play, friendship and family interactions.
Thankfully, no talking animals, wizards or superheroes are involved.
Little Joey King is cute and clever as Ramona. Disney star Selena Gomez is her thoughtful teenage sister, Beezus. Their story is mostly played for fun, but drama enters when their dad suddenly loses his job. In the end, the resolution is appropriately sweet and simple. It's all so wholesome that every character would be right at home in an episode of "Father Knows Best" or "Leave It to Beaver."
"Schmucks" runs amok
Nice guys and mean guys all finish last in "Dinner for Schmucks," a comedy that feels like a desperate attempt at zany mixed in with a lotta schmaltz and a little schmutz.
In this remake of the far superior 1998 French farce, Tim (Paul Rudd) is invited to an annual dinner by his smarmy boss in hopes it will get him a promotion from the lowly sixth floor that "smells like dead dreams."
Turns out, the office ain't the only thing that stinks.
Each guest must bring a prize idiot for the amusement of the "regulars." Tim wants to back out, but then runs — literally — into Barry (Steve Carell), who seems like a sure bet to win first place.
Barry is sweet but incredibly clueless, and triggers events that land Tim in trouble with his girlfriend, boss, prospective client, former lover, and the IRS.
Some gags work here; others land like a bug on a windshield. Rudd again plays a blandly likeable straight man, as Carell and Zach Galifianakis ("The Hangover") go beyond "Looney Tunes" antics.
The climactic dinner itself is so cartoonish, I kept expecting Daffy Duck to spring out and declare "Wabbit Season!"
The true delight of the movie comes from Barry's "Mousterpieces" — tiny dioramas of famous scenes using stuffed mice. They have all the wit and charm that this "Dinner" does not.

On the market: A stately Georgian
Few things are as exciting as following a long, private driveway to discover a new house. Add to this the discovery of a locked gate, and you know you're in for something interesting.
The grand-sized half-stone colonial at 388 Wahackme Road in New Canaan is a handsome house in an excellent location. The front facade is a picture of Georgian style, with three gables marking a high third floor.
Up the slate walkway, between two sets of Doric pillars, one enters into a grand spacious two-story hall. The sweeping design of the parquet floor rolls around a twisting bannister and staircase that ascends to a wrap-around balcony.
To the right is a dining room with a high ceiling, which is recessed at its center and spun with dentil molding. There's a fireplace, and access to a butler's pantry and the kitchen.
To the left of the main entry is a deep, wide archway to a living room. The space is open and, using the tones of the floor, it has space separating the rooms. This living room, which also has the same fireplace to make it a twin to the dining room, has long, high sash windows, which let in the morning light. The high ceilings have a panel design, broken only by subtle built-in speakers for the sound system. Waist-high wainscoting decorates this and many other rooms in the house.
Off the living room is the library, with yet another fireplace. The room is all mahogany wood -- walls and ceiling -- with a wall of bookshelves and crank windows.
More InformationABOUT THE HOUSE
ADDRESS: 388 Wahackme Road, New Canaan
STYLE: Georgian
FEATURES: Three-car garage, patio, pool, pool spa, whirlpool tub, wet bar, wine cellar, sound system, exercise room, terrace, lawn sprinkler
SCHOOLS: West Elementary, Saxe Middle, New Canaan High
Straight through from the entry is a central sunken family room space, around a stone fireplace, with French doors that open to a large flagstone patio and in-ground pool.
A TV room is south of there, with built-in shelves, high windows and another set of French doors.
The kitchen is equipped with a six-burner Wolf stove, along with a central island with its own sink. A section of bay windows at the back allow room for a breakfast area. Counters are polished black marble, and the refrigerator and other amenities are built into the cabinets.
There are 12 rooms, but it seems like even more. To the right, a staircase leads down to a large wine closet with elegant lighting and design. This leads into an entertainment room, or potential screening room, with tract lighting that accentuates a tasteful mix of wood beams and paint.
The basement is like its own house. There's a good-sized gym, a large playroom, a separate bedroom and bath, and a multi-use room on the south side that has a stone-hearth fireplace and sliding glass-paneled doors that lead out to a separate patio visually cut off from the pool.
The upstairs features a master bedroom with a bathroom centering on a spa tub and two walk-in closets.
Each upstairs bedroom is unique, owing to the particular curves of the house, but they're all roomy.
Going up to the third floor -- the entrance of which has a built-in gate, as do all the staircases -- is a suitable in-law apartment that enjoys a private bedroom and separate utility room.
For more information or to make an appointment to see the house, contact Patti Fieber of Halstead Property at 203-979-8320 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

in the press conference with Goodell and being interviewed on NFLN by Andrew Siciliano yesterday? Damn dude looks like he could still run over a DT, a couple of LBs and drag a S the last 15 yds. into the end zone and he's 73 years old!!
If you saw him play there's a VERY good chance you think he's the greatest player that ever played the game like I do, no matter what NFLN's top-100 said.

Grabavoy leads the way as RSL charges past Chivas
Carson, CA – Ned Grabavoy scored his first two goals of the season on Sunday to lead Real Salt Lake to a 4-1 win over Chivas USA at The Home Depot Center.
Grabavoy had the visitors in front in the fourth minute, and Joao Plata netted a goal early in the second half to double Salt Lake's advantage.
Jorge Villafana gave the home side some hope when he pulled a goal back in the 55th minute, but Robbie Findley's second goal of the campaign 12 minutes from time wrapped up RSL's third win in the past four games before Grabavoy added his second tally in stoppage time.
Chivas has been outscored 11-1 in its last three matches, and has managed to earn just one point from its six most recent outings.
Javier Morales played provider on the opening goal when he laid a pass off to the onrushing Grabavoy, who found space behind the defense to slot his shot past Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy.
Eric Avila struck the crossbar with a shot from inside the penalty area for Chivas, but the Goats found themselves down 2-0 in the opening minutes of the second half.
Kyle Beckerman intercepted a pass in midfield by heading the ball into the path of Plata, who did the rest by racing in on goal and beating Kennedy.
Villafana reduced the deficit seven minutes later when he headed home Edgar Mejia's cross.
However, RSL put the result away in the 78th as Yordany Alvarez drove a first- time ball to the far post for Findley to turn past Kennedy from a few yards before Grabavoy capped the victory in the final minutes with his second goal of the night.

Dino Nowak needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 88 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
Nashville Firm Body Boot Camp.com Tagline: You're Worth The Fight!
I am launching a fat loss boot camp class and need a new logo for website and collateral material like business cards, gift cards, clothing, etc… This is not a typical militaristic boot camp (yelling and screaming in their face etc..), it's a place where they'll be encouraged, have fun but also challenged.
If it helps in designing; I guess I see myself as someone helping them break the chains they've been held to by this struggle. Kind of like a big brother or guardian protecting them from all the misinformation and those who would seek to take advantage of their situation. My personal tagline is "Americas Most Trusted, Transparent and Controversial Trainer"
My background can be found at http://www.dinonowak.com click on "About Dino" or even listen to the radio show to get an idea where I'm coming from and where my heart is.
I'm at a loss as far as direction I'm hoping to see a few designs that have that "it" quality and I'll just fall in love with it when I see it.
Thank you so much ahead of time I'm very excited to see this come to life. Your creativity, effort and passion is greatly appreciated.
Women and Men though primarily women; middle class to affluent who are looking to lose fat and get in the best shape of their lives.
People who have probably tried every diet under the sun, bought all sorts of infomercial products and are frustrated and don't know who to trust. Might have even given up all together.
Logo should communicate; as many as possible (doesn't have to be all of course, if you can pull that off that would be unbelievable):
Lasting Change
Logo delivery must be in vector format.
Iconic - feature an icon people will associate with the company
Logo should be meaningful to the target audience.
Think of something that they would like to wear or something you wouldn't mind wearing if that helps. Try to put yourself in their shoes. Not everyone is going to be obese though some just want to get in better shape.
Don't want:
• Stock images
• Clip art
• Copycats

seanwalsh avait besoin d'un nouveau design de logo et a lancé un concours sur 99designs.
Un gagnant a été sélectionné de 110 designs proposés par 27 designers freelance.
Logo required for WEBFRESH (http://www.webfresh.co.za) - a company offering website services aimed at small businesses (website design, hosting, CMS, SEO, etc).
The key idea here is that this will be a FRESH, new & easy approach to getting online. So I'm looking for a clean, fresh & modern logo.
The target market is mostly small businesses with old, homemade websites. We want to overhaul their websites... give them a fresh start, a professional new look, and help them get better results from their web investment.
WebFresh (http://www.webfresh.co.za)
A lot of information is already in the Short Summary, but I'll try elaborate:
Must be vector format, preferably Photoshop, with Gifs.
The overall feeling I want to get from the logo is FRESH, that this is a new approach, a breath of fresh air.
It's a web/online services company, so I would like it to look modern, maybe cool(?). Maybe Web2.0-ish (...maybe). The products & services are hopefully going to be dead-easy to use, so I'd prefer a logo that hints at that too - not a cluttered/complex logo.
I'd like a logo device (I think that's what they're called?). i.e. some graphic/icon/thing that sits in the logo that captures the whole vibe, and that I can then (potentially) use as a watermark / bullet point image / email signatures etc. (Not 100% sure where I'd use it, but basically something that could be reused without the wording to build the brand).
More thoughts: Not sure on WebFresh, webfresh or WEBFRESH yet, will depend on the readability of the logo. Maybe, given the previous paragraph, the device can go between the web & the fresh...?
The domain is http://www.webfresh.co.za. I'm not sure yet whether to put that in the logo or not, will have to see how it looks & what comes through.
I'm also open to taglines; something like "a fresh approach to getting online" or "a fresh approach to web services" (although I think "web services" might be a bit confusing).
I have some colours and styles in mind, but I think I'll hold back for the first day or two to see what people come up with.
We're hoping to use 99designs for most of our design work, so this is also a "proof of concept" for us, in that we're using 99designs for our OWN logo & website. So fingers crossed we get a good result!
Again, most is said in the description, but I will add to this section once a few ideas start trickling in.
But basically:
- clean, fresh look & feel
- modern logo / fonts
- some sort of logo device
- possibly include a tagline
- possibly include the url
- fresh, light(?) colours
- 2-4 colours
- must work as mono too
- cluttered / busy logo
- dark overall look/feel
- complex logo device - prefer something simple
- too many colours
- complex/detailed fonts

Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — An anonymous social media site has been identifying witnesses in violent crimes across Philadelphia with the stated intention of trying to "expose rats," and city police were trying to find out who is behind it.
The "rats215" account on the San Francisco-based photo-sharing site Instagram has posted pictures, police statements and testimony identifying more than 30 witnesses since February, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
Police Lt. John Walker said investigators learned of the account last week when an officer monitoring Twitter spotted photos of a witness and court records from an attempted shooting last year. That led to the Instagram account, where officials found witness statements from the alleged 19-year-old victim, who said he was fired upon that summer because he had testified in a homicide case.
It remains unclear how rats215 obtained his testimony, the Inquirer reported. The case was handled by a secret indicting grand jury — a practice the Pennsylvania Supreme Court authorized last year to protect witnesses in violent crime prosecutions. The site also had names of witnesses, even though the names of witnesses and victims are redacted in court records for their protection.
The account, which was inaccessible by 8 p.m. Thursday, had nearly 7,900 followers and had been updated almost daily, The Inquirer reported. It had contained more than 150 photos, many drawing dozens of comments and likes.
"Post some new rats," one commenter wrote in September, according to the Inquirer. "I needa put a hit out on them."
One post praised drug dealer Kaboni Savage, who was sentenced to death for being behind a dozen murders including a firebombing that killed four children and two women. The bombing was retaliation for an informant's cooperation with authorities and was among the worst witness revenge killings in city history.
Instagram would not say whether it took down the account, citing a policy of not publicly discussing individual accounts. But a spokeswoman said Friday that community guidelines do not allow content that bullies or harasses, and she said Instagram encourages people to report such content using a built-in tool next to every photo or video posted on Instagram.
Tasha Jamerson, a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office, said she couldn't comment on an investigation but called witness intimidation a "very serious, ongoing problem" that plagues Philadelphia prosecutors daily.
"We work with Philadelphia police to investigate vigorously and thoroughly any attempt to intimidate any witness, to identify perpetrators, and, where appropriate, arrest and prosecute," she said in an email.
Veteran law enforcement officials say they have seen victims' statements posted in barbershops, on neighborhood utility poles and even mailed to the homes of witnesses, but such statements now are as likely to wind up on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Walker said investigators are now working to identify the accountholder.
"These actions shoot an arrow through the heart of the criminal justice system, placing victims and witnesses at risk," he said.

Brunel University are pleased to invite you to learn about our cutting-edge research work in combating chemicals in the water supply chain, meet the researchers at Brunel, and discuss the challenges faced in keeping our waters clean.
With a population of over 60 million in the UK, we deliver to the UK water industry around 3.6 billion tonnes of sewage a year (1½ times the volume of Lake Victoria, the largest of all African lakes) – its treatment presents a huge challenge, exacerbated by the occurrence of often hazardous chemicals. With the addition of urban and agricultural runoff, controlling the water quality of our rivers is a challenge underpinned by meeting statutory standards.
Meeting these standards comes at a cost. How can we reduce the concentrations of chemicals in the environment at a time of increasing population and chemical use, alongside the need to reduce CO2 emissions? What are appropriate standards and control measures? How can we be more intelligent about how we use chemicals and dispose of them?
Topics to be covered during the day include:
- What are the issues surrounding water quality in the UK, political, regulatory and industrial viewpoints (invited speakers)?
- Discussion of the ecotoxicological issues by Professors John Sumpter and Sue Jobling, recognised as experts worldwide.
- Sources and use of chemicals, and thoughts on novel materials for treatment of wastewater.
Who should attend?
- Those engaged in water quality issues.
- Senior managers and industrialists in the water and pharma industries.
- Industrial and academic researchers.
|networking, workshops, conferences, water, pharmaceuticals, hazardous chemicals
|industrial chemists, decision makers, research scientists, universities, professional chemists, senior managers

Division of Transition of Care
About Our Division
By their 21st birthday, all patients treated at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del., must transition to adult health care. Since there are many transitions that occur between the ages of 18 and 25, families often aren't adequately prepared.
Our Transition of Care program is a clinical consultation service designed to help teenage and young adult patients (particularly those with special health care needs) and their families transition as smoothly as possible from pediatrics into adult health care. We address both the medical and non-medical issues during transition (educational, vocational, legal guardianship, residential options, etc.).
Our Patients
Ideally, patients over the age of 14 with special health care needs will develop transition plans with their providers and parents. The patients who typically benefit most from working with our Transition of Care team are kids who:
- see multiple subspecialists in pediatrics and, therefore, may have a complicated transition
- have disabilities that will make it difficult to be completely independent as adults
Our Staff
A pediatrician and social work coordinator run our Transition of Care program. Together, we work with young adults and their families to create transition plans. To gauge progress, we meet with the family and child on a regular basis.
Patient Education
Transitioning care involves a lot of preparation and is a process, not just a transfer. A great place to start is by finding ways to increase independence or co-manage medical issues. To assist teens in beginning the process of developing a transition of care plan with their providers and parents, we help:
- identify adult health care providers who are knowledgeable about the child's medical condition and with whom the family/child are comfortable
- kids learn more about their medical conditions
- teens and young adults manage their own care and become advocates of their own health (e.g., how to refill prescriptions and talk to adult providers)
- families work with insurance providers
- kids and their families learn about residential options, especially for patients who have disabilities that don't allow them to function completely independently

I, for one, am more than a little OCD and prefer everything to be organized in one place rather than filling up the thread index. In the interest of organization, I ask that everyone who is looking for members for their linkshell consider posting in here. I will edit this post to include all the linkshells, so that people who are looking for one can come here and find all the info they need.
A basic template for what I think should be included (If anyone has other suggestions for this, feel free to mention them):

Scheduled Events: (if applicable, should include times/days if those are determined.)
Other Information:
LS Website: (if one is available)
I cannot stress enough the importance of the linkshell leaders posting in here to keep me up to date on what's going on with your shell. If you add events, change of contact person, etc., I need to know about it so I can keep the information here as accurate as possible. Thanks!
