Submission + - Opiate Maintenance Treatment is a Tale of Two Cultures (thefix.com)

Submitted by yincrash on Wednesday December 05, 2012 @02:29AM

yincrash writes: Opiate maintenance treatment is a tale of two cultures. People who can afford Suboxone get to keep their addiction private. People who are restricted to methadone clinics pay the price of stigma. Experts generally agree that Suboxone is more effective than methadone, but not by much. Studies have found that the recommended dose of Suboxone is better than low-dose methadone, but no better than high-dose. Yet methadone poses a greater risk of overdose and is easier to abuse. All things being equal, therefore, Suboxone is the preferred treatment. But all things are not equal, and most unequal is a patient's ability to pay.

Is there a good way to find information on these candidates? chooseyourjudges.org seems to agree that this is basically an impossible task. What do slashdotters do in an information vacuum? Just abstain from voting? Write-in something in protest?"

Submission + - Rep. and Dem. don't make Texas ballot deadlines

Submitted by yincrash on Friday September 05, 2008 @02:49PM

yincrash writes: Republicans and Democrats haven't apparently failed to meet Ballot deadlines in Texas of 5pm August 26th.

According to documents obtained by the Barr campaign, neither John McCain nor Barack Obama complied with Texas Election Code 192.031, which requires that filings must be submitted "before 5 p.m. of the 70th day before presidential Election Day," listing the "names of the party's nominees for president and vice-president."

Some websites are reporting that the Tex. Secretary of State somehow ended up eventually 'finding' the paperwork after the deadline. Bob Barr is threatening to sue, but I'd wager that the law will be changed retroactively by the state gov't.

Do you think there is a double standard?

Submission + - Sony Kills Lik-Sang

Submitted by yincrash on Tuesday October 24, 2006 @11:20AM

yincrash writes: Lik-Sang has put up the Out of Business sign. They are wrapping up all loose ends and no longer taking any new orders, due to the lawsuits Sony has been throwing down in Europe. In London specifically, the High Court declared Lik-Sang's sale of PSP illegal. Where am I going to get my imports now??
