Adderall Abuse and its Implications for the College Academic Community By Nahel Kapadia Published on February 8, 2012 FtWashGuy/Wikimedia Commons Figure 1: Adderall XR extended release pills with amphetamine salts. Background Adderall is a psychostimulant used in the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Medical Uses of Adderall Adderall is commonly prescribed to patients who have difficulty controlling their actions, maintaining focus, or staying awake.
The Chemistry and Mechanisms Behind Adderall The structure and action of Adderall resembles that of recreational drugs such as methamphetamine (also known as crystal meth) and MDMA (3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine) (also known as ecstacy). Sarah Waliany/USCience Review Figure 2: The amphetamine salts in Adderall have the ability to directly stimulate catecholamine receptors. Potential for Abuse As a Schedule II drug, Adderall has high risk for dependence and addiction. Works Cited 1. 2. Do It Yourself: Working with Acrylic. One of the best parts of owning a reef aquarium is designing, inventing and building new creations. Custom sumps, overflows, hatcheries, HOB refugia and many other things can be designed to fit your specific needs and space. Not only will you enjoy the act of making something yourself, the money you save can be used to buy that new SE Tyree Tort (one of those fancy supposedly rare expensive type corals)!
Acrylic is relatively cheap in its raw form. In our area, we have a shop that will cut the pieces to exact dimensions. You can cut the pieces yourself with a table saw, but I’ve found it easier (and the same price) to have the shop cut them for me. During your designing, be sure to account for the width of the product in the measurements. I use 1/4-inch acrylic for most of my designs, but there is also a 3/8-inch thickness for large projects. Planning ahead to have all the supplies available will save time during construction. I have used this brand of acrylic cement with good results.

Howard Kurtz: Four years ago, Sarah Palin's name electrified the mediaFox has dropped Palin as a commentator; she no longer generates buzz, he says Palin failed to occupy a major role in news commentary at Fox, Kurtz saysKurtz: Palin has talked about broadening audience for her views Editor's note: Howard Kurtz is the host of CNN's "Reliable Sources" and is Newsweek's Washington bureau chief.
He is also a contributor to the website Daily Download. (CNN) -- There was a time, as she emerged from the rubble of the 2008 campaign, when Sarah Palin was the hottest cultural figure in America. People loved her. People hated her. Howard Kurtz Little wonder that Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes rushed to sign her as a million-dollar-a-year contributor and built a modern studio for Palin in her Wasilla home.

Deep spending cuts are likely, lawmakers say, with no deal on sequester in sight. Adding to the sense of inevitability is the belief that the cuts, known as the sequester, would improve the government’s bottom line without devastating the broader economy. Though the cuts would hamper economic growth, especially in the Washington region, the forecast is far less dire than with other recent fiscal deadlines, and financial markets are not pressing Washington to act.
Cuts to the military and the defense industry remain politically problematic. But Tuesday, even some of the Pentagon’s most fervent champions seemed resigned to the likelihood that the cuts would be permitted to kick in, at least temporarily. “I think it’s more likely to happen. “How do you go to somebody in the military who’s been deployed four or five times . . . and say, ‘For your good work over the last decade, we’re going to ruin the military; we’re going to make it harder for you to have the equipment you need to fight, and we’re going to reduce benefits to your family?’ Origins of the sequester. Sequestration: What Government Contractors Need to Know. With the 2012 presidential election months away, government agencies and contractors continue to speculate about the possible effects of sequestration. Whether sequestration will actually occur is unknown, as Congressional legislation and presidential approval of alternative deficit reductions could dramatically curb, if not eliminate, the effects of sequestration.
If sequestration does occur, however, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that eligible defense programs will be cut by 10% and eligible non-defense programs will be cut by 8.5% in fiscal year 2013. Consequently, contractors should commence preparations for the possibility of drastic cuts in federal spending and position themselves to navigate in an environment of tighter budgets and increased competition. What Does Sequestration Mean? Generally, sequestration spending cuts are divided equally between eligible defense and non-defense programs.
How Will Sequestration Affect Government Contracting? Watch for “scope creep.” Did Jennifer Lawrence's Dress Rip At The SAG Awards? (VIDEO, PHOTOS) We were totally psyched when Jennifer Lawrence won a SAG Award for "Silver Linings Playbook" at the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards last night. But we drew in a breath when she headed towards the stage, getting her lovely Dior Couture dress stuck on someone's chair. Then, when Lawrence stepped onto the stairs holding her dress, the skirt seemed to separate around mid-thigh, revealing several inches of leg (0:50). Seconds later, when she stood on stage accepting her award, the dress seemed to be intact. Cue the tweets and speculation: did Jennifer Lawrence's dress just rip? Not exactly. E! News reasons, "The original gown, which was revealed on the runway at a couture fashion show on Monday, showed clear distinctions that were connected by sheer lining.

Depressed Groundhog Sees Shadow Of Rodent He Once Was. Why extroverts fail, introverts flounder and you probably succeed. Most of us would say extroverts. These wonderfully gregarious folks, we like to think, have the right stuff for the role. They’re at ease in social settings. They know how to strike up conversations. They don’t shrink from making requests. Little wonder, then, that scholars such as Michael Mount of the University of Iowa and others have shown that hiring managers select for this trait when assembling a sales force.
The conventional view that extroverts make the finest salespeople is so accepted that we’ve overlooked one teensy flaw: There’s almost no evidence it’s actually true. When social scientists have examined the relationship between extroverted personalities and sales success — that is, how often the cash register rings — they’ve found the link to be, at best, flimsy. Does this mean instead that introverts, the soft-spoken souls more at home in a study carrel than on a sales call,are more effective? Then he tracked their performance over the next three months.

Friday Night Lights (film) ‘Friday Night Lights’ book star grows up to be unlikely hometown arrest - Bob Cook - Your Kid's Not Going Pro. Brian Chavez, the genius/tight end of the Permian Panthers in the book Friday Night Lights, was the last person in the book you expected to make his adult life in Odessa, Texas, and then get arrested there. And yet, both have happened. A few hours after Permian lost 26-7 to crosstown rival at Ratliff Stadium, the often sold-out 19,000-seat field featured in Friday Night Lights, Chavez (No. 85, front and center on the book cover) was among four people arrested on burglary charges in Odessa.
According to local news reports, Chavez and several others broke into a home and attacked an unspecified number of men inside it, with one man saying he needed stitches after he was beaten with statuettes found inside the home. Chavez was arrested at 1 a.m. Sat., Oct. 3. Chavez told the Odessa American in August that after graduating from law school at Texas Tech, he wanted to come back to his hometown to work in his father and brother’s law firm to get a little bit of experience before moving on.

"Buzz" Bissinger, the author of "Friday Night Lights," is helping publicize the movie, and endorses its essential truth wholeheartedly.
Former Odessa (Texas) Permian High School Panthers written about in the book and portrayed in the movie seem to be pleased with the film. Director Peter Berg admits a few facts have been changed for narrative purposes, but contends that the celluloid version is true, in the most essential ways, to the book version. But what's left in and what's left out?
In Reel Life: The team travels by bus to every game. In Reel Life: Permian (and some of its opponents) have huge marching bands -- they look like they could match most college marchers.

THE COACH AND THE TEAMIn Reel Life: There's talk that Coach Gary Gaines (Billy Bob Thornton) makes $60,000 a year -- more than Permian's principal. In Real Life: Didn't happen. Odessa, Texas.

ABCNews.com - Breaking News, Latest News & Top Video News. Norovirus Home Page. Norovirus. Norovirus is a genus of genetically diverse single-stranded RNA, non-enveloped viruses in the Caliciviridae family.[1] The known viruses in the genus are all considered to be the variant strains of a single species called Norwalk virus. The viruses are transmitted by fecally contaminated food or water, by person-to-person contact,[2] and via aerosolization of the virus and subsequent contamination of surfaces.[3] Noroviruses are the most common cause of viral gastroenteritis in humans, and affect people of all ages.[4] Norovirus infection is characterized by nausea, forceful vomiting, watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, and in some cases, loss of taste.
General lethargy, weakness, muscle aches, headache, and low-grade fever may occur. The disease is usually self-limiting, and severe illness is rare. The genus name Norovirus is derived from Norwalk virus, the only species of the genus.

Kieckhefer Distinguished Research Professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California. His later research centered on theoretical neurobiology and attempts to advance the scientific study of human consciousness. He remained in this post until his death; "he was editing a manuscript on his death bed, a scientist until the bitter end" according to Christof Koch.[4] Early life and education[edit] Crick was the first son of Harry Crick (1887–1948) and Annie Elizabeth Crick (née Wilkins; 1879–1955).
At an early age, Francis was attracted to science and what he could learn about it from books. Walter Crick, his uncle, lived in a small house on the south side of Abington Avenue; he had a shed at the bottom of his little garden where he taught Crick to blow glass, do chemical experiments and to make photographic prints.
