Radiation Therapy (WBI Versus PBI) in Treating Women Who Have Undergone Surgery For Ductal Carcinoma In Situ or Stage I or Stage II Breast Cancer
a study on Breast Cancer
- Eligibility
- for females ages 18 years and up (full criteria)
- Location
- at La Jolla, California and other locations
- Dates
- study startedestimated completion
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy in different ways may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether whole breast radiation therapy is more effective than partial breast radiation therapy in treating breast cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying whole breast radiation therapy to see how well it works compared to partial breast radiation therapy in treating women who have undergone surgery for ductal carcinoma in situ or stage I or stage II breast cancer.
Official Title
A Randomized Phase III Study of Conventional Whole Breast Irradiation (WBI) Versus Partial Breast Irradiation (PBI) for Women With Stage 0, I, or II Breast Cancer
- Compare local tumor control in women with ductal carcinoma in situ or stage I or II breast cancer treated with adjuvant whole breast vs partial breast irradiation following lumpectomy.
- Compare overall survival, recurrence-free survival, and distant disease-free survival in patients treated with these regimens.
- Compare the cosmetic result in patients treated with these regimens.
- Compare fatigue and treatment-related symptoms in patients treated with these regimens.
- Compare perceived convenience of care in patients treated with these regimens.
- Compare acute and late toxic effects of these regimens in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease stage (ductal carcinoma in situ [DCIS] only vs invasive and node negative vs invasive with 1-3 positive nodes), menopausal status (premenopausal vs postmenopausal), hormone receptor status (estrogen receptor [ER]-positive and/or progesterone receptor [PR]-positive vs ER-negative and PR-negative), intention to receive chemotherapy (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. (Patients who are 50 years of age and over with DCIS regardless of hormone receptor status AND patients with invasive breast cancer meeting all of the following criteria: ≥ 50 years of age, node-negative, and hormone-receptor positive status will not be enrolled in study after 12/30/2006.)
- Group 1: Patients undergo whole-breast irradiation (WBI) once daily, 5 days a week, for 5-7 weeks.
- Group 2: Patients undergo partial-breast irradiation (PBI) twice daily on 5 days over a period of 5-10 days. This may be delivered by multi-catheter brachytherapy, single-entry intracavitary brachytherapy, or 3-D conformal radiotherapy.
Patients in both arms may receive adjuvant chemotherapy at least 2 weeks prior to initiation of WBI OR at least 2 weeks after completion of PBI at the discretion of the treating physician. Patients with ER-positive or PR-positive tumors may also receive hormonal therapy, beginning 3-12 weeks after completion of adjuvant chemotherapy (or before, during, or after completion of WBI or PBI for patients not receiving adjuvant chemotherapy) and continuing for at least 5 years.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 1 and 6 months, every 6 months for 4.5 years, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 4,300 patients (2,150 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 4.6 years. Note: Accrual closed on April 16, 2013, following approval of the Data Monitoring Committee to reduce the sample size from 4,300 to 4,214 patients.

I found this site about a couple years ago through a friend. I'm very glad about being able to join this great writing community and sharing some of my ideas with everyone! Some things that I do are writing (obviously) and directing T.V./Movie productions. I don't really have any worries about the site or concerns. So just keep on keeping on, i guess!

Hi there.
I see you've already got a sandbox and a forum thread, so you're well on your way to be a site contributor. Just a heads up though, if you're looking for SCPs that are a good example of current site standards, I recommend reading the high-rated Series II and III articles (SCPs with numbers from 1000 to 2999). There are many inspirational articles in Series I, but articles written four or more years ago are less likely to be up to current community expectations, even if they've got a lot of upvotes. Remember to pay attention to how old an article is when deciding if you'll use it as a guide or not; you can (and should!) check article age by clicking the "History" link at the bottom of a page, and looking for the page creation date.
It's great that you've written pieces before. Out of curiosity, what kind of directing do you do?
Let me or another staff member know if you've got any questions, and welcome to the site!
Thanks for the heads up, I'll make sure to keep that in mind. I direct just about anything my team and I can write a scrip out of, mostly works of fiction. Right now we don't have a whole lot of resources or equipment, so we keep ourselves focused on the basics (lighting, sound, camera angles, etc.). I think that we could definitely bring some audio files to life or possibly even make a video file in the future. Just some thoughts!

Dems outpace GOP, 3-1, in new voter registration Unaffiliated also add to voter rolls
If new voter registrations are any guide, Democrats will come to the polls in force for next Tuesday's presidential primary election.
Between Oct. 1 and so far this month, 940 Norwalk residents registered with one political party or another. Of those, 430 residents registered as Democrats, 352 registered as unaffiliated voters, 143 registered up as Republicans, 12 registered as Independents, and three registered as members of the Green Party, according to the Registrars of Voters office.
As of Tuesday, the Norwalk Town Clerk's office, meanwhile, had issued 260 Democratic ballots and 83 Republican ballots for Tuesday's election, according to Town Clerk Andrew S. Garfunkel.
Galen Wells, Norwalk Democratic Town Committee chairwoman, described enthusiasm among Democrats for the 2008 presidential election as "very high."
"There's always more enthusiasm in a presidential election. I think it's very high (among Democrats)," Wells said. "Everyone seems fed up with George Bush and is really looking forward to a change."
The new voter registrations, to be sure, generally mirror the affiliations of existing registered voters.
Currently, 20,525 Norwalkers are registered as unaffiliated voters; 14,182 are registered as Democrats; 9,550 are registered as Republicans; and 687 are registered as Independents. In addition, the city has 41 residents registered with the Green Party, 20 registered as Libertarians, and 10 as "others," according to the registrars office.
Norwalk has about 85,000 residents.
Professor Gary L. Rose, chairman of the government and politics department at Sacred Heart University, said he is not surprised by recent voter registration in Norwalk. He traces it to growing involvement by young people and interest in the campaign of Barack Obama, the Illinois Democratic senator running for president.
"Obama has electrified a component of the electorate quite dramatically," Rose said. "It's not so much a Republican Party phenomenon. It's primarily because of the dynamics in the Democratic Party. Super Tuesday is going to be fascinating. I think you're going to see here in Connecticut an exceptionally high level of turnout."
Karen Doyle Lyons, the city's Republican registrar of voters, predicts that local turnout in Tuesday's presidential primary will be high among Democrats and moderate among Republicans.
Overall, new voter registrations are up compared to the months leading to the 2004 presidential primary, according to Democratic Registrar of Voters Betty J. Bondi.
"We're lucky if we get 50 to 75 new voter registrations in the month of January. I think currently we're (almost) over 500," Bondi said. "And it's in a condensed period, from November to Feb. 5, so there wasn't a lot time for people to register. Last time, the primary wasn't until March, so people had January and February."
While Democrats say they are excited about the 2008 presidential election, it is Norwalk's unaffiliated voters who will factor into the outcome of the general election, according to Art Scialabba, former Republican Town Committee chairman and member of the Connecticut Republican State Central Committee.
"We've always had a challenge to woo the unaffiliated votes over to our side on key elections and on key issues," Scialabba said. "With the Democratic campaign down to three major participants, I certainly can see why the Democrats are registering in greater numbers to make their voices heard and select their candidates."
Jeffrey M. Konspore, current Republican Town Committee chairman, could not be reached for comment.
Norwalk Democrats, while enthusiastic about the election, have not yet rallied behind a single candidate.
Wells is backing Obama, whereas others, such as former Councilman Michael W. Coffey, have thrown their support behind U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.
Whether Norwalk Democrats' enthusiasm carries into the general election Nov. 4 may depend upon the outcome of Tuesday's Democratic primary, according to Scialabba.
"Right now, it's certainly (enthusiasm for) the primary," Scialabba said. "I can see enthusiasm falling away if the candidate for Norwalk is not the one running in the general election."
The situation also remains fluid on the Republican side.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was the favorite candidate of Norwalk Mayor Richard A. Moccia and state Rep. Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-142, minority leader, lost to U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in Florida's primary Tuesday night.
"We'll see who's left standing on the Republican side," Scialabba said.
Only registered Democrats may vote in the Democratic primary election. Only registered Republicans may vote in the Republican primary election.
As such, all of Norwalk's 430 newly registered Democrats may cast ballots in Tuesday's Democratic primary election. Likewise, all of the city's 143 newly registered Republicans may vote in the Republican primary.
By contrast, Nov. 5 was the deadline for registered Republicans to change their affiliation to vote in the Democratic primary, and for registered Democrats to change their affiliation to vote in the Republican primary.
Barbara Marquette stepped into the registrars office Monday to register as a Democrat and found out that she cannot vote in Tuesday's primary. Marquette believed that she had been registered as an unaffiliated voter.
"I found out that in 2000, for whatever reason, I put Republican down (as my affiliation). It never really mattered me," Marquette said. "I am passionate now because I really believe we have a leader. I believe we have found someone who can really make a change in this country, Barack Obama."
While Marquette is displeased that she cannot vote Tuesday, she has not been disenfranchised, and the city is following state law, according to Doyle Lyons.
"We immediately pulled her original voter's registration card, and made a copy of it for her. In her own handwriting, she had written out her party affiliation," Doyle Lyons said. "We have no right to change that party affiliation. Only the voter can do that, and they have to abide the state laws that are in place."

Background Wp Template
Over the past ten years, I've used a lot of different WordPress topics and have been very disappointed. Up till recently, I was using MyThemeShop, that was pretty excellent. However, I had to perform a lot of customization to allow it to do and operate the way I wanted it to. A couple of weeks ago I decided to provide GeneratePress a try, and let me just say, it's undoubtedly the best WordPress theme I've discovered in a decade . I was blown away and am moving all my websites to GeneratePress. I'll enter exactly why in my comprehensive GeneratePress review below. And if you're wondering, yes I have attempted Genesis, Astra, OceanWP, Avada, X theme, Divi as well as several other lightweight and thicker multi-purpose themes. Wp Template
To Get started, Click here to download GeneratePress.
GeneratePress Evaluation
GeneratePress is a free WordPress theme created by Tom Usborne, a developer from Canada. I have actually seen it for many years from the WordPress repository. Most of you realize that I am pretty picky when it comes to web performance, and so I have a tendency to ignore everything from the repository. Typically because a great deal of things on there isn't that good, or not encouraged for long. Nonetheless, in this circumstance, that was a mistake. The theme currently has over half a million downloads, 80,000+ active installs, with over 500 5-star ratings. So obviously Tom is doing something right here.
I Really set up the free version of the motif and in a matter of 15 minutes bought the superior version. I could tell right off the bat, the programmer was thinking exactly how I was imagining a theme should work. And I will go into that more below, but let us first look at some of the qualities. I will be covering the premium version of the theme, because it's worth very penny. In fact, Tom, in the event that you ever read this and are seeing Scottsdale, Arizona, coffees on me.
Super lightweight and fast. Modular design allowing you to enable/disable items you do not want running. This is one of the greatest reasons I adore GeneratePress.
Responsive, looks great across all of the devices.
Schema built-in, for greater outcomes in SERPs.
Dramatic integration using the WordPress Customizer. I have not been a fan of this customizer previously, but Tom does it right.
Compatible with all popular plugins, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, EDD, BuddyPress, bbPress, and WPML. Great browser support back to IE8.
Additionally, it works great with the popular fast-growing Elementor page builder. If you would like to dive into even more customizations, these really are a terrific combo. I have also read that individuals using Beaver Builder have had success.
Translation ready.
Font wonderful built-in.
A lot of filters and hooks which make it good for programmers.
Excellent active service from the programmer. On average, 3 updates per month.
The Documentation can be incredible. Besides have great documentation on their site, the theme has existed long enough that what I Googled throughout the setup procedure was found inside a couple of seconds in their own forum.
Going Deep Into GeneratePress
Now it is Time to the fun part! I test a new theme right from the box without any customizations to see how quickly the base is. This tells me a lot of what I could expect by the time that I add everything for this. Running the stock GeneratePress WordPress motif on Kinsta hosting clocked in at a whopping 265 ms load time. I was quite impressed.
One Thing I was concerned about with GeneratePress was that the modular design was going to produce a whole lot of big files, but this isn't the situation. You can tell that Tom actually worked hard on ensuring that every record loaded in GeneratePress is as small as possible. With HTTP/2, the number of files isn't as important. However, the size is! Take a peek at some of the core GeneratePress files under:
/generatepress/css/unsemantic-grid. min.css 2.9 KB
/generatepress/style. css 7.1 KB
/generatepress/css/mobile. min.css 1.6 KB
/generatepress/js/navigation. min.js 1.1 KB
/generatepress/js/dropdown. min.js 1.5 KB
That is a programmer that cares about performance! And I have Seen the same during all the premium add-ons. They are as small as you can possibly get them. In fact, Font Awesome is most likely the largest file contained. And that is not even his. Together with Font Awesome 5 coming round the cornerwe can anticipate this to get smaller also.
The premium add-ons Are installation in what I'd call a modular layout. You can activate/deactivate anything you aren't using to guarantee they don't load on your site. Since the co-developer of the perfmatters plugin that has a script manager built, I felt right at home with this. Everything should be made this way.
If You're interested, I'm using the next add-ons on this website:
Page Header
No Child Theme Needed
One of The best features of GeneratePress is that I no more have to use a Child motif . This makes my life so much easier. No longer editing my functions.php or header.php documents. I will literally update my GeneratePress theme this exact moment and not lose one customization. The hooks add-on certainly can help make it possible. It permits you to add custom code/PHP anywhere throughout your WordPress site. Wp Template
Other Things I Love About GeneratePress
On each Page/post you have a great deal of options. You are able to alter the sidebar design and the footer widgets.
You Can easily swap a page involving the default option to a full width page, as well as disable components.
The WordPress customizer options is where GeneratePress really shines! Bear in mind, a lot of these choices are permitted from the premium add-ons. I can't show you everything, otherwise, we'd be here all day. But allow me to show you couple which actually come in handy.
Responsive Columns
Another Plugin I highly recommend grabbing is the free Lightweight Grid Columns. Not to my surprise, this can be made by the exact same developer as GeneratePress. It enables you a super easy way to incorporate responsive columns to any page or article. Features include:
Desktop grid thickness
Tablet grid width
Mobile grid width
Add Customized courses
Insert custom inline styles
Equal height columns
This is An example below:
You might want to Also catch his incredible WP Display Posts plugin also. See my featured articles on the sidebar of this website? That is using the WP Show Posts plugin. I have it set to show posts from a particular"featured" category. You might also get it show last modified/updated articles, recent posts, etc.. I'm using the free version and it works terrific.
To Begin, Click here to download GeneratePress.
Sections Add-on
The Segments add-in in the premium version of GeneratePress allows you to do all kinds of things concerning design. Consider it like a webpage builder without the bloat. GeneratePress is certainly not only for blogs! I'm in reality utilizing GeneratePress for our ecommerce website (perfmatters.io) that is running Easy Digital Downloads. Don't hesitate to check it out. But as you can see below, it looks like a site.
Speed Tests
For all those Of you that are regular readers, you likely didn't even notice that I changed the whole motif that forces woorkup.com. It only took me about an hour to get GeneratePress to mimic my MyThemeShop motif that I had spent a year customizing. Here's a comparison below.
woorkup.com Old MyThemeShop Theme
My old MyThemeShop motif was already pretty quickly, but I spent a lot of time customizing it. In reality, I've gotten a lot of emails from you guys asking me to publish all of my customizations. My advice today is, just get GeneratePress!
woorkup.com New GeneratePress Theme
With the New GeneratePress motif I was able to attain faster speeds and 600 fewer lines of code! And keep in mind, I do not have a child motif. All the customizations were made with the awesome GP hooks and snippets plugin (both CSS and PHP).
Like the WordPress theme I have working on woorkup? You are in luck. Tom asked if he could create a copy of woorkup to your brand new GeneratePress blog library. I'm pleased to let you know that now you can install my woorkup motif in your own GeneratePress site with only a click! It is known as the Marketer motif.

I was Able to replicate the entire appearance 100 percent in GeneratePress in under an hour. And since you can see it loads even faster! Amazing. I was able to get rid of a couple plugins which weren't needed because of GP.

I also Moved over our business website, forgemedia.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I was using a motif from Array Themes. It is a pretty basic minimum website, as we simply use it for our LLC. Since you can see it loaded pretty quickly. Wp Template

I was Able to again move everything over and get it looking just how I needed it in under one hour. And as you can view it loads faster! Amazing. I was able to get rid of a total of four plugins and it dropped my total page burden 2x!
I can not express my Excitement about finding GeneratePress and I am moving over all my sites for this (which includes some EDD e-commerce websites ). After I have my 9 websites all running in GP without any child topics, my life will be a breeze! The developer has restored my faith in multi-purpose themes, and that when done the right way, can actually perform quicker.
And The best thing isI now have a thousand more choices to pick from than I did earlier.
What GeneratePress Is Great For…
GeneratePress Is the ideal option for performance-focused users that wish to be able to customize and control precisely how their site appears.
You Can make GeneratePress do pretty much anything. And since GeneratePress has a focus on functionality, the website that you build will have a fantastic base to make it load quickly.
Since Of that, people who assemble WordPress sites for a living love GeneratePress. They will typically pair it with a WordPress page builder and use it for literally any kind of website.
But GeneratePress Might Not Be A Fantastic Combination If…
…you Need something that will immediately look perfect from the box.
For Example, if you know you wish to create a style blog, you might be happier picking out a niche theme that's developed exclusively for fashion bloggers.
Even though GeneratePress has gotten a great deal easier to use, as a result of its pre-built Website Library, GeneratePress still looks very barebones when you initially install it.
So To make GeneratePress look how you want it to, you'll most likely will need to go in and customize matters. And though the significant advantage of GeneratePress is how customizable it is, some users, especially casual users, do not like having to make those changes themselves.
GeneratePress Features That Make It Unique
Here Are some of the particular features that explain why GeneratePress is indeed common.
Lots Of Customization Options From The Real-Time WordPress Customizer
Past Functionality, another area where GeneratePress does well is its customization options.
GeneratePress Utilizes the WordPress Customizer for customization, which can be convenient because you'll be able to see all of the changes that you make in real time.
The Free variant of GeneratePress provides you decent possibilities, but if you own GeneratePress Premium, you'll have the ability to customize nearly everything about your website.
For Example, if you go in the Design region, you may configure comprehensive settings for yourown:
- Header — you can move your header round and alter its own styling
- Navigation — GeneratePress gives you two different navigation options, including sticky menus
- Sidebar design — you can use a Couple of sidebars
- Blog post design — like featured image dimensions, metadata, etc..
- Footer layout — just like how many widgets to add
Likewise, That the Typography place enables you to control the font to get every single element on your site, such as buttons:
And You also receive a thorough area to control the color of each and every element on your website.
All Whatsoever, GeneratePress will provide you much more customization options from the WordPress Customizer than most other themes. This amount of detail might be a bit overwhelming if you are a newcomer. But once you understand the way the preferences come together, you'll have complete control over how your site looks.
Optimized Performance And Quick Page Load Times
Across All of its features, GeneratePress consistently includes a focus on exceptional performance and clean code. The entire motif is less than 30 kB, which will be about as little as you'll ever find for a WordPress theme. Even most other optimized WordPress topics are still 200+ kB. And some poorly coded topics can even exceed 1 MB!
GeneratePress Also has no code dependencies, which will help you avoid the render blocking error that Google Pagespeed Insights often cites.
Place That together, and you obtain a superfast-loading theme. How fast? To give you an idea, I ran a small test.
First, I put up an empty website utilizing a haphazard popular WordPress.org motif (Envo Magazine). After analyzing its performance with Pingdom, it:
- Had a performance grade of 77
- Loaded in 1.05 seconds
- Had a page size of 243.9 kB
- Had 15 asks
That's Not bad at all! However, GeneratePress can perform.
Next, I activated GeneratePress on the exact same test website without altering anything else. Here's how GeneratePress failed:
- Had a performance tier of 87, 10 points better
- Loaded in 666 ms, ~37% faster
- Had a page size of 26.8 kB, ~90% smaller
- Had 9 asks, ~40% less
If You perform that same test with different themes, you'll continue to see that GeneratePress is one of the fastest-loading WordPress themes in existence. Wp Template
Other Useful Premium Extensions, Plus Much Modular Approach
Beyond Giving you more design controls from the WordPress Customizer, GeneratePress Premium comes with a lot of other helpful features like:
- Elements — a unique feature which lets you create customized hooks, page headers, or design templates.
- Page Header — lets you create a exceptional page header on a per-page basis.
- Sections — that is sort of like lightweight page building. It permits you to create separate"sections" on a page, each with their own design and column preferences.
To Remain lightweight, GeneratePress also gives you a modular port where you could pick and choose exactly which characteristics you want to trigger.
That Way, you don't have to slow your site down for a feature which you're never going to use.
Pre-Made Starter Sites Make It Easier To Design Your Site
In The last, you had to build GeneratePress sites from a blank canvas no matter what, which left the theme difficult for casual users to install.
Earlier In 2018, though, the programmer added a fresh Site Library feature for GeneratePress Premium users which allows you easily import any one of the 25+ pre-built demo sites.
You Can import them right from the WordPress dashboard.
Yes — this Website still uses GeneratePress! All I did was click on a few buttons to import a demo site.
Page-Level Settings Provide You Detailed Control Over Each Bit Of Content
With Most themes, every post and page will use the very same settings for the most part. You might have some custom templates or formats — however you do not have very much control beyond that.
GeneratePress Changes that by providing you a brand new Layout meta box for each and every page and post:
You Can utilize this meta box to:
- Change how many sidebars your site uses, or the sidebar orientation (such as changing the sidebar from right to left)
- Choose the number of footer widgets to utilize
- Disable certain components, such as your header, navigation menu, article featured picture, post title, or footer
- Create a special"container" to your page builder
Where These controls are the most helpful is if you're using a WordPress page builder.
By Disabling certain elements, you are able to create the proper baseline for your page builder layout, which makes it effortless to create custom articles as needed. Wp Template
GeneratePress Pricing: Cheap And Works On Unlimited Sites
The Core GeneratePress motif is available at no cost at WordPress.org.
Nevertheless, If you are seriously interested in utilizing GeneratePress, I feel you need to buy the GeneratePress Premium plugin, as that's what produces the theme so elastic. The free version doesn't give you nearly as numerous configurations from the WordPress Customizer. And you'll also lose out on the premade Site Library.
GeneratePress Premium is also still quite affordable. It costs only $39.95, and that gives you use on unlimited websites . You'll also get a 40% discount if you want to renew to continue receiving support and updates following the first year (you can, of course, keep using GeneratePress after the first year without renewing — you won't receive any more updates).
When You believe that the typical premium WordPress theme will usually cost around $60, GeneratePress provides a great price.
As I said, I do not think GeneratePress is for everyone.
If You desire a niche-specific theme, you can probably save time by purchasing a theme that fits your requirements for your market from day one.
But If you're willing to spend some time altering preferences, then GeneratePress' style controls give you the flexibility to turn it into any type of WordPress site. Or, you may even be able to locate a starter website that fits your needs to save a little time.
Additionally, It is among those fastest-loading WordPress themes you will locate. So if you're seeking the best performance possible, using GeneratePress as your WordPress site's base is a great choice.
If You combine it with fast-loading hosting, so you should have no problem making your website load in under one minute. Wp Template

Worcester, Mass. – Rising star Ogechi Ezemma (Hope Valley, R.I.) scored 17 of her game-high 21 points in the second half and Clark University surpassed their win total from a season ago with a hard-fought 53-44 win over Suffolk University in non-league women's basketball action on Tuesday evening.
The Cougars enter the semester break at 7-2 their best nine-game start since the 2011-12 squad did the same thing. That team went on to win 16 games, host a NEWMAC playoff game and play in the ECAC Tournament.
Game Information
Score: Clark University 53, Suffolk University 44
Records: Clark University 7-2, Suffolk University 5-5
Location: Kneller Athletic Center, Worcester, Mass.
How It Happened:
The teams started the game off incredibly frigid from the field combining to miss the first 22 shots of the game and nearly four minutes into the game Suffolk was ahead just 1-0.
Despite missing their first 12 shots and not making a field goal until there was less than a minute remaining in the period, Clark only trailed 13-9 at the end of the first quarter.
Amazingly, the Cougars eventually took their first lead of the game at 16-15 less than three minutes into the second quarter when Kacey Legare (Chicopee, Mass.) connected on a three-pointer. Another scoring drought ensured – this one lasted nearly five minutes - following Legare's triple and when Cori Ouellette (Madison, Conn.) knocked in a three of her own, the Scarlet and White pushed their lead to 19-15 with 1:45 left in the half.
In front 19-18 to start the third period, Ezemma began to seize control of the contest for Clark, scoring ten of their 19 points in the frame and when Maya Kerstetter (Northampton, Mass.) picked up a loose ball after a Sam O'Gara (Worcester, Mass.) steal and knocked down a pull-up jumper as time expired, the Cougars were ahead 34-31.
The Rams got the lead down to two early in the fourth quarter after Georgia Bourikas (Hull, Mass.) drilled a three-pointer but the Scarlet and White embarked on a 9-1 run over the next six plus minutes that featured a pair of Ezemma baskets and a layup and three-pointer from Kerstetter.
Now trailing 45-35, Suffolk scored seven of the game's next nine points on an Alexandra Nagri (Salem, N.H.) three-pointer and a layups from Bourikas and Katelyn Rourke (Watertown, Mass.), cutting the Clark lead to 47-42.
The Cougars put the game away, however, as they went 6-for-8 from the free throw line in the final minute and got a key Ezemma block in the final 20 seconds to secure the win.
Inside The Numbers:
Neither team shot the ball well, but the Rams went long stretches without scoring and shot just 27 percent from the field for the contest. Clark meanwhile, did warm up in the second half (44 percent) after shooting just 20 percent in the opening 20 minutes.
The specialty stats were eerily similar with both teams scoring 24 points in the paint, each getting five second chance points and just two fast break points. Clark held a slight edge in bench points (16-15) but they turned the Rams' 18 turnovers into 15 points, compared to just five points for Suffolk off of 14 Clark miscues.
For The Nation:
Ezemma, the reigning NEWMAC Player of the Week and WACBA Player of the Week, finished with game-highs of 21 points, 15 rebounds and a career-best six blocks.
Kerstetter, meanwhile, came off the bench and produced a career-high nine points in 18 minutes, while O'Gara had 14 points, four rebounds and four steals.
Haley Wilder (Rindge, N.H.) didn't score for Clark but she helped out on the boards, hauling in a career-best ten.
For The Foes:
Nagri led the Rams with 11 points before fouling out, while Bourikas chipped in with ten points in just 22 minutes. Alexandra Clarke (Boothbay Harbor, Maine) was strong on the glass for Suffolk, pulling down a team-best 11 and local product Alexis Hackett (Charlton, Mass.) finished with five points, nine rebounds and three assists for the Rams.
Up Next:
Clark is off until Friday, December 30 when they visit UMass-Boston. The Rams, meanwhile, are off until after the New Year when they visit Pine Manor on Thursday, January 5.

Northern cities voted best for buy to let investment
As recently reported by The Telegraph, Manchester is the fourth best university town in the UK for buy to let investment.
The study showed a top 100 index for all the major universities in the UK and where they ranked best for investment. Northern cities dominated the top 10, with Manchester, Leeds and Lancaster all appearing as strong contenders.
The news follows on from new wave of students who are looking for modern, high quality accommodation such as city centre apartments. Unmodernised house-shares which were once considered to be satisfactory have now been replaced with more sought after, better quality homes and apartments in prime locations that are close to universities and city centres.
Luxury developments have proven particularly popular with international students as well as postgraduates, it has been reported. Their willingness to pay a little more in rent is in response to a higher-spec home with good service and response rate from their landlord or agent. There is a rising number of students not opting for traditional halls residence during their first year, but instead choosing privately owned modern apartments in developments that are also popular with graduates and young professionals.
The rapid growth of the student population is the result of a new government law that no longer restricts the number of students that can be enrolled in any one university. As a result of this, there has been a significant surge in the number of total students admitted across the UK, including international students.
Graham Davidson, managing director of Sequre Property Investment, comments on the increase in students looking for luxury apartments:
"Students have a huge part to play in the buy to let market. As the population increases, more and more investors can benefit from the effects that students have on the economy as a whole.
Whilst there is a dedicated market for student buy to let, we would encourage any first time investors to undertake their usual due diligence. There are a number of propositions on the market that at first glance may appear attractive but it's important to consider everything, from guaranteed yields to future exit strategies. With a number of different options available, our team will happily talk you through the investment process to help you understand the various types of investment opportunities that will appeal to student tenants, what you can expect and what to look out for."
Sequre source properties in prime locations, close to universities and colleges which experience a high rental demand. Many of our properties come fully tenanted and are furnished to a high standard. We specialise in negotiating deals on properties that can generate high yields, strong returns, and future capital growth. To find out more, call our team today on 0800 011 2277.

Studies on experimental nephritis produced by heterologous nephrotoxic sera have contributed much to the background and to the understanding of certain human renal diseases based on immunologic reactions. It is therefore very important to have an extensive review and evaluation of the entire literature of this field; this comprises the first part of the book, together with a detailed bibliography.
In the second part the author mixes the review with his own data in the field of experimental nepritis and nephrosis. There is, however, no clear differentiation between the nephrotic stage of glomerulonephritis and pure nephrosis. All animals in whom

With the X-Men coming under the Disney umbrella, Spider-Man: Homecoming 2 could be the perfect place to introduce a mutant: namely, Firestar. While Disney's buyout of 20th Century Fox has excited many Marvel fans, others are worried about what will happen to the existing X-Men properties. For the next year or so, things should continue according to plan for both Fox and Marvel Studios, but beyond that the future is uncertain.
We know Disney wants to keep making Deadpool movies, but it's pretty clear that the X-Men (and Fantastic Four) will join Marvel's shared universe before long. Whether that means a series of massive events that merge the continuities of the two franchises or the more likely scenario of the X-Men being rebooted, we'll probably have to wait until Phase 4 begins in 2019 to know much more. Luckily, the beginning of the MCU's next era will be the perfect place to start seeding the idea of mutants.
RELATED: How Fantastic Four Can Already Exist in MCU
We've already suggested that Kitty Pryde should be in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Black Panther should introduce Storm to the MCU. Both of those moves could easily happen without all of the X-Men debuting, allowing mutants to slowly appear in the world before the super-team comes on the scene. But using the sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming to introduce a mutant could work even better as, unlike Shadowcat and Storm, Firestar has always been more of a Spidey character than an X-Men one.
Firestar Is A Mutant With A Strong Link To Spider-Man (This Page)
Firestar Was Made For A Spider-Man Movie
Anjelica Jones has spent time fighting both against and alongside the X-Men. But her story began thanks to the wall-crawler. Back in 1981, Jones debuted as Firestar on the animated series Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends. Like Hannah-Barbara inventing Black Vulcan because they didn't want to pay for Black Lightning, NBC was hoping to have the Human Torch on their series. When that didn't work out, they created Angelica Jones and her alter-ego Firestar. In the show, she's not only a mutant but was once a member of the X-Men. Alongside dating Peter Parker, Firestar and Spider-Man fight crime and save the world (with occasional appearances by Iceman).
A few years after her TV debut, Firestar appeared in 1985's Uncanny X-Men #193 for her first comic book adventure. Like on the TV show, this Firestar developed her microwave-manipulating powers while being bullied at a young age. The comics then added the wrinkle of both Professor Xavier and Emma Frost seeking out the new mutant, with the latter eventually recruiting her for the team Hellions. Over time, Firestar would leave the Hellions and work with the X-Men, the New Warriors, and the Avengers. She's even had an ongoing battle with cancer thanks to her repeated use of her radiation-based powers.
Though Jones has spent the requisite time with the X-Men, she's much better known as a freelance hero of sorts. Thanks to the MCU having multiple characters who have gained powers without an X-gene - including Spider-Man - it makes even more sense to bring the hero into the web slinger's franchise. The one potential issue is that Firestar may be owned by Sony rather than Fox. Though Firestar is a mutant, she also debuted on a Spider-Man cartoon. That puts her in a gray area in terms of movie rights, though that hardly seems a stumbling block given that Marvel and Disney are playing ball.
Related: Characters Fox Hasn't Used That The MCU Should Introduce
The idea of mutants is sure to be slowly rolled out in the MCU, meaning many of them can emerge with people thinking they're Inhumans or something else entirely. With a little twist to her origin, we could see Spider-Man help Firestar come to grips with her powers while the two team-up to fight crime. And like in the TV show, Firestar could be a romantic partner for Peter - something that's already been set up in the MCU.

Sales Catalog — H.P. Lovecraft
H.P. Lovecraft Bust
12" Cast Polymer Bronze Finish
The foremost author of horror literature is realized for the ages in
this exquisite bust from Arkham Studios, sculpted by Bryan Moore.
Longtime fans of HP Lovecraft, the artists at Arkham Studios have crafted the quintessential sculpture of the Old Gent from Providence.
Standing approximately 12 inches high, the expertly sculpted countenance of HP Lovecraft sits atop an antique style base with curved scrolls and filigrees, not unlike the aesthetic of Lovecraft himself.
At the face of the base is a small plaque which reads "I Am Providence" and signed in Lovecraft's own signature beneath.
Lovecraft fans may note that "I Am Providence" was originally written by Lovecraft to a friend describing his love for his hometown and is now his epitaph on his tombstone. Centuries ago in an obscure tome entitled "The Gospel According To St. Anthony", Satan himself used these very words to tempt St. Anthony.
Knowing Arkham Studios' penchant for all things Satanic, it's no surprise that this classic portrait of Lovecraft fits right in with their dark repertoire of occult, horror and literary figures. The bust is cast in polymer resin and finished in Arkham Studios' signature bronze rub.
This is a limited edition of 50 signed and numbered casts so order one soon, as like with Arkham Studios other figures, this one is sure to sell out quickly!

Mulch & Firewood News
We do our best to bring you the latest news, tips and safety information!
There are many mulch types available for your organic garden, but which is the best mulch for you? This article explores some of the most popular types of mulch and ultimately comes to a conclusion with what you should use. What is mulch? It's really anything that we put on the soil surface to cover the ground. Landscaping Fabric – Not The Best Mulch Landscaping fabric is considered part of our mulch because it is often placed on the soil under various types of mulch in order to help control weeds. The cheap stuff doesn't work very well, but thicker fabric can work for awhile before weeds start to find their way through the cracks or just start on top of the mulch. Unfortunately, that thick landscaping fabric can also stop water from getting down to the soil, especially on a slope where the water just slides down the fabric to the bottom. It doesn't take long for the landscape to show signs of suffering in this case. But the biggest problem with this fabric is that it doesn't allow organic matter to recycle into the soil. When you put landscaping fabric on, it means your soil doesn't get to eat anymore. This is definitely not the best mulch for organic gardening purposes. Soil needs to be consistently replenished with organic matter, so any of the mulch types we choose have to be composed of organic matter. Soil is replenished in nature and in our gardens when leaves fall in autumn, and since many of our gardens are low in organic matter anyway, it also happens when we intentionally bring in more leaves, straw, compost and other organic matter to improve the soil. Putting landscaping fabric in the garden stops all of this and slowly kills the fertility and structure of the soil, and everything living in it. The only potential use is on pathways, since we are compacting them anyway and not trying to increase the organic matter. But we need to look elsewhere for the best mulch. Why Organic Matter Is One Of The Better Types Of Mulch When it comes to choosing a good mulch, we need to think, what is mulch for? Weeds. A continuous thick, dense layer of 2"-4" of one of the best mulch types is one of my favorite ways to control weeds because not only does it smother most of them out, it makes the ones that do find their way through so much easier to pull, especially if you have been clever enough to regularly hit the garden (and the mulch) with some water. Weed seeds will always be floating in, but a thick mulch will stop them We have other organic gardening chores to do, so eliminating most of the weeds is a good goal. It may be necessary to kill some tap-rooted or perennial weeds before placing the mulch on top of them. In addition, maintaining a dense, multi-layer plant cover on your soil consisting of a groundcover below…Read More
As fall's cool, crisp air settles in and the season changes to winter, a warm fire is a welcoming thought. Fireplaces and wood stoves are an important, economical source of heat in many homes during the cooler months. If you're using firewood to heat your home, you'll want to keep a supply on hand, whether you purchase the firewood or cut it yourself. There's much more to firewood than meets the eye, though. Drying Firewood needs to be dry before it is used. Cornell University Cooperative Extension,Tompkins County explains that firewood should be bought or cut a year before you intend to use it in order to ensure proper drying of the wood. The wood should also be stacked as soon as possible so that the logs can dry out. Storage In order to protect the wood you've cut or purchased, proper storage is necessary. Cornell University Cooperative Extension, Tompkins County recommends keeping wood off the ground helps it lose moisture and also prevents it from getting damp. There should be some space between logs so that air can get through. Storing wood in an area that is exposed to sunlight and wind is also a good idea so that the wood can dry more quickly. Burning safety Before putting wood on the fire, check to make sure that it is dry. Wood that is green or wet will not burn well and can become a fire hazard. Wood stoves are designed for wood, not paper, trash, treated wood or any other products. Cornell University Cooperative Extension, Tompkins County recommends using hardwoods like oak, hickory and black locust. Small amounts of softwoods can also be used, such as poplar, aspen and spruce. Michigan State University Extension offers information about the hazards of wood burning and how to take precautions while heating your home with a wood stove or fireplace. Woodcutting Safety If you're cutting your own firewood, there are numerous safety precautions to take, including wearing protective gear, taking chainsaw safety courses and learning safe, effective ways to fell trees. Chris Kick explains the do's and don'ts of chain saw operation and safety as well as simple ways to be proactive while cutting wood. Contact Jon Dobbs for more information (757) 428-7919Read More

Here are the full details: https://www.facebook.com/events/1644441192437669/
I have been in the fire service for over 2 decades. I love everything about it. The firehouse life, tradition, running calls and ability to have a second family. Today I want to honor a guy who early on in my career made a life long impression of just "doing the job". The fire service is loaded with men and women who have had heroic moments. Here is one guy who immediately comes to my mind as a Fireman who is a badass. Kevin Shea along with his crew from #FDNY elite Rescue 1 made an absolutely outstanding rescue in 1991 which was early in my firefighting career. In a the movie Ladder 49, this rescue was re enacted. Kevin was then injured in the 1993 WTC bombing.
Have fun thinking about the example that your heroes set for you…….Then go create your own legacy for others!

...a little Domus Dei...
« Back to galleryItem 1 of 9Next »
The sanctuary area of the Arrupe Chapel. The chapel was described by its architect, Andrew Devane, as a "a little Domus Dei" (a little house of God) when he wrote,
I imagined it as a little Domus Dei – a place for His simple glory and worship – for a small number of specially collected faithful – where mass is celebrated – as the climax of all worship, devotion and teaching therein. I thought of it as a humble and simple place – for communal and personal prayer to the Blessed Sacrament, and as a place (where more than is usual in most chapels) the love and word of God is taught by each retreat master to each retreatant who will voluntarily assemble here in all the years to come.

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Shop Ticket Holders
Why use shop ticket holders?
People use holders for a variety of reasons. These reasons include keeping information clean and dry and keeping information organized. Without job ticket holders, people working in a factory setting would get ink or dirt on the job orders. The holders keep the materials organized. Organization is especially good to keep all the parts of a project together. For instance, a shop ticket holder can keep the instructions and a sample of a job in the same place. Auto dealers often use holders to keep a work order for a car along with the car keys. Colored holders can be used to organize jobs by department, importance, or due date. Holders are also a great way to post information so that it can be seen and so it can be changed as necessary. For instance a common use of self-adhesive holders is to post cleaning schedules on doors where an employee needs to initial that a cleaning has been done on a scheduled basis.
What is the difference between shop ticket holders and job ticket holders?
There are many phrases used to describe shop ticket holders, but they all really refer to the same thing. Terms include Ticket Holder, Job Ticket Holder, Shop Ticket Holder, Welded Ticket Holder, Vinyl Envelope, Sewn Shop Ticket Holder and Stitched Shop Ticket Holder.
Kinds of shop ticket holders
C-Line offers two basic kinds of shop ticket holders: Stitched Shop Ticket Holders and Sealed Shop Ticket Holders.
Stitched shop ticket holders
Stitched shop ticket holders are just what you would image they might be—these holders are produced using an actual sewing machine. For stitched shop ticket holders, the pockets are made of clear vinyl or pressboard sewn together with a plastic or fabric reinforcing strip. Stitched shop ticket holders are typically made with either both sides clear or one side clear and one side pressboard or black card stock. In a simple sense, the front and back are cut to size and then sewn together with an extra layer of material used as a reinforcing strip. Once the sewing is complete a brass grommet is attached for hanging. Some models include an extra long piece of material at the top for hanging. This is especially useful if the holder needs to hang some distance down to protect what it is hanging from. For example, you might want a shop ticket holder with strap to hang on a car mirror to avoid scratching the car. Or you may need extra storage capacity, for which you may find the high capacity holder or dual pocket hanging holder good to use.
Sealed all vinyl shop ticket holders
Sealed all vinyl shop ticket holders are made by welding two pieces of vinyl together to form a pocket. This is a more economical holder than the stitched shop ticket holder. It also offers the option of coating one of the vinyl sheets with self-adhesive material which can be attached to walls or equipment. Other options include attaching a magnet to the back to create magnetic shop ticket holders or using a press and seal zipper to create industrial zippered holders, which will protect products from dirt and moisture in a closed pocket.

"Jack Valenti believes in the unlimited right of movie studios
to control the distribution of their work. But professor Lawrence
Lessig says, "I believe in the right to hack," even if that results
in breaking codes that safeguard new movies on DVD discs. Somewhere
between those positions is a middle ground that fosters the
creation of new intellectual property, while protecting the
public's fair use of older works."
"Classic movies and other venerable material ought to be out

"Lessig is performing a valuable public service by taking up the
cause of Eric Eldred, a Derry, N.H., man who reprints books on the
Internet at Eldred.ne.mediaone.net. Eldred contends that the 1998
law is far too restrictive, and although he has lost the first
round in US District Court, he is fighting on with the help of
Lessig and lawyers from Harvard Law School. His case will be heard
by the US Appeals Court in Washington today."
"It will take years for courts to delineate the boundaries
of copyright law in the Internet age. They would be wise if they
emphasized protections for recently released movies, books and
other material while allowing the works of past generations to
freely enter the public domain."

As usual it is convenient to collect the information in a generating function. We define the colength series of R to be CLR(Z) = ^%L0ft(h)Zh.

Ah, yeah... I should have been clearer on what I meant there. If you want to make a filter which relies on data that isn't in the index, there is no mechanism for invalidation. One example of it is if you have a filter which essentially constructs a query based on the contents of a text file (like a word list.) Another example is with tagging, with the tags stored in an external database. At the moment we use a separate level of filter cache which asks the contained filter whether it's still OK to use (if the timestamp on the file changes, it gets ejected from the cache.) I suspect the same cache is useful anyway, as it also holds onto the filter instances so that they don't get collected too soon (filters can come out of our query parser, so the caller can't conveniently hold onto the instances in all cases. Sometimes they do two similar queries which happen to call the same filter, so caching the entire resulting query doesn't help either.) An interesting, somewhat-related issue is that for some filters, we can't keep the contents of the file itself in memory due to size limits, so we have to read it on the fly. When there are multiple segments, the file gets read multiple times. So it's a rare case where computing the filter across all readers might actually come out faster than computing it per-segment...

New Hampshire Drug Detox
Looking for a high-quality drug detox facility in New Hampshire for yourself or someone you love? We have a wealth of knowledge on substance detox and treatment facilities and can help you find the right program for you.
Our drug detox specialists can help anyone break free from drugs, whether the addiction is to heroin, marijuana, prescription pain relieving drugs, alcohol or any combination of co-occurring problems.
Deciding on Inpatient or Outpatient Detox
One of the primary decisions, when you or your loved one chooses between drug detox facilities in New Hampshire, is deciding between inpatient and outpatient drug detox. Inpatient drug rehab programs offer the most intensive level of addiction treatment care with round-the-clock physical and emotional support from a professional medical staff in a safe and healthy residential facility. Outpatient addiction treatment programs offer patients a flexible schedule and high-level professional care for moderate substance abuse and addiction problems. Wherever you decide to get drug detox, the first step is making a choice!
New Hampshire Treatment Facts
Past Year Treatment for Illicit Drug Use Among Individuals Aged 12 or Older with Illicit Drug Dependence or Abuse in New Hampshire (Annual Average, 2010–2014)
Source: SAMHSA, Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, National Surveys on Drug Use and Health, 2010–2014.
- Approximately 8.5% of New Hampshirites aged 12 or older received treatment for alcohol abuse or dependence, higher than the national average of 7.3%.
- Approximately 14.6% of New Hampshirites aged 12 or older received treatment for drug use or dependence or abuse, similar to the national average of 13.9%.
- Approximately 46.6% of New Hampshirites aged 12 to 17 received mental health treatment for a major depressive episode, far higher than the national average of 38.6%.
- Approximately 49.9% of New Hampshirites aged 18 or older received mental health treatment or counseling for any mental illness, far higher than the national average of 42.7%.
New Hampshire Health Statistics
The New Hampshire Bureau of Behavioral Health of the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has been working to develop comprehensive services to meet the complex needs of every New Hampshirite family or individual with co-occurring substance abuse problems and mental health problems.
The primary substance abuse problem in New Hampshire involves illegal and prescription opioids resulting in 34.3 drug overdose deaths per 100,000 people in 2015, the second highest drug overdose death rate after West Virginia with 41.5 overdose deaths per 100,000 people.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Medical Examiners Office reported 422 deaths in New Hampshire from overdose alone in 2015, 482 overdose deaths in 2016 and anticipates that the number will reach over 500 by the end of 2017. A majority of overdoses in New Hampshire involve the heavily addictive prescription fentanyl, followed by heroin, other prescription and illegal drugs as well as an assortment of haphazard combinations.
Heavy alcohol use among adults and underage binge drinking has remained consistent in the past five years. SAMHSA has reported that 66.4% of New Hampshire youth aged 12 to 17 perceive no great risk from binge drinking once or twice a week, 32.8% of New Hampshire youth aged 12 to 17 perceive no great risk from smoking one or more packs of cigarettes a day and 80.5% of New Hampshire youth aged 12 to 17 perceive no great risk from smoking marijuana once a month.
Here are a few interesting statistics from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA):
- Approximately 11.1% of New Hampshirites aged 12 to 17 report illicit drug use, higher than the national average of 9.1%.
- Approximately 6.6% of New Hampshirites aged 12 to 17 use cigarettes, slightly higher than the national average of 5.2%.
- Approximately 19.5% of New Hampshirites aged 12 to 20 reported binge drinking, substantially higher than the national average of 14%.
- Approximately 4.7% of New Hampshirites aged 12 to 17 reported nonmedical use of prescription pain relievers, identical to the national average
- Approximately 7.6% of New Hampshirites aged 12 or older reported abuse or dependence on alcohol, slightly higher than the national average of 6.5%.
- Approximately 2.8% of New Hampshirites aged 12 or older reported abuse or dependence on illicit drugs, similar to the national average of 2.6%.
- Approximately 7.5% of New Hampshirites aged 21 or older reported heavy alcohol use, higher than the national average of 6.7%.
- Approximately 4.1% of New Hampshirites aged 18 or older experienced thoughts of suicide, similar to the national average of 3.9%.
- Approximately 4.7% of New Hampshirites aged 18 or older experienced a serious mental illness (SMI), similar to the national average of 4.2%.
- Approximately 12% of New Hampshirites aged 12 to 17 experienced at least one major depressive episode (MDE), similar to the national average of 11%.
Determining the scope of you and your addictions needs will dictate the style and type of treatment that is necessary for long-term abstinence and successful rehabilitation. A combination of drugs or co-occurring mental or physical health problems, for example, will take more time and resources to detox, treat and recover from than one issue alone.
Past Year Illicit Drug Dependence or Abuse Among Individuals Aged 12 or Older in New Hampshire and the United States (2010–2011 to 2013–2014)
Source: SAMHSA, Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, National Surveys on Drug Use and Health, 2010–2011 to 2013–2014.
The Top Drugs of Abuse in New Hampshire are:
- Heroin
- Marijuana
- Prescription pain relief drugs
- Alcohol
Marijuana was approved in New Hampshire in 2013 for medical use to help treat chronic or terminal diseases and debilitating medical conditions and remains illegal for recreational use. One noticeable change over the past decade is the increasing potency of the psychoactive component in marijuana, Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. Increased research, production and availability of medical and recreational marijuana products has led to the development of marijuana concentrates such as hash oil, marijuana wax, and marijuana-infused edibles. The concentration of THC in marijuana and marijuana products has increased from .74% in 1975, 3.75% in 1995, 11.8% in 2014 all the way to 50 to 90% concentration in the last few years. Marijuana is one of the most preferred drugs for New Hampshirites and is the number one most widely used drug in the United States.
The Need for Drug Detox in New Hampshire
It is vital to make quality care and services available to any and all New Hampshirites who need treatment for a chronic substance dependence and possibly co-occurring problems. Unfortunately, every year, thousands of New Hampshirites continue to live with an active addiction and do not seek treatment.
In recent years, between 85 and 92% of New Hampshirites aged 12 or older did not receive treatment for illicit drug or alcohol use, abuse or dependence. The process of overcoming drug or alcohol addiction is a lengthy and intensive process that requires endurance and patience from the addict as well as professional medical support. Between 50 and 54% of individuals from New Hampshire did not receive treatment for a major depressive episode or for any mental illness.
Successful recovery begins with professional, medically assisted detox. Addicts who attempt an at-home detox face the risk of medical complications from withdrawals that can potentially be fatal as well as face the risk of relapse and possible subsequent overdose. Withdrawal symptoms can include irritability, depression, insomnia, flu-like symptoms, nausea, vomiting, irregular heart rate, seizures, hallucinations, depressed breathing and cravings. Without professional treatment care, addicts from New Hampshire relapse 90% of the time they attempt to recover on their own.
Drug Detox Options in New Hampshire
New Hampshire is a mountainous Northeastern state with the 5th smallest land area and the 9th smallest population in the United States. New Hampshire has no state income or sales tax, and its crime rate is nearly half of the national rate, making it an ideal place to detox, recover and live.
Drug detox and treatment centers vary depending on the type and severity of addiction as well as the needs of the patient and include both long-term and short-term inpatient and outpatient programs. Programs can treat general demographics and addictions while others cater to specific drug addictions, co-occurring mental or physical issues — as well as to different demographics of New Hampshirites such as seniors, teenagers, men, women, pregnant women, executives, those with different sexual orientations, and those with different religious beliefs.
There are a number of benefits for enrolling in a drug detox program that is out of state, including:
- Increased privacy of care
- Buffer from stresses at home
- High-end treatment
- Increased therapeutic options
- Intensified focus on recovery
