New Venetian Blind Created
RADIANCE is description of a set of new venetian window treatments. The depth of the window coverings (X dimension) is given first, followed by the width (Y dimension), followed by the height (Z dimension). The number of slats to place evenly within this height is given as nslats. The angle of the blind, where zero is perfectly horizontal and a positive angle tilts the positive X edge upwards, is given in degrees. The window treatments are initially situated so that the corner of the bottom blind isheight/nslats/2 above the XY plane, and all coordinates are positive.Each new slat is placed height/nslats above the previous one, until the top slat is at height - height/nslats/2 . The window coverings may of course be moved from this starting point with the xform(1) command.

Camaraderie Brings Cheer
Camaraderie Brings Cheer
Thursday nights outing was the first hockey jerseys game for a number of the Walter Reed patients, including Staff Sgt. Robert Huegel.
It was great! Huegel exclaimed after the Capitals Matt Pettinger
scored the deciding goal in the shootout to win the game. Huegel said although he doesnt yet fully understand all the rules of the game, he enjoyed the action and the camaraderie with his fellow service members.
Huegel said he and the other patients like to joke with each other and make light of their injuries. For instance, he said a Marine corporal who lost two limbs in Iraq, joked at the game that they charge an arm and a leg for food around here.
We bust on each other, Huegel said. Its all in fun, he said, adding that it helps them cheer one another up.

Teens are Getting ProDrug Drug Treatment Center
Teens are Getting ProDrug Drug Treatment Center
Because teens report receiving far more prodrug Drug Treatment Centers than antidrug Drug Treatment Centers, the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign works to refute myths and counter prodrug Drug Treatment Centers. Mixed Drug Treatment Centers come from many sources in teens lives: media coverage and discussions of medical marijuana, decriminalization efforts, popular culture such as movies and music, and the Internet. The growing number of social networking sites and blogs, along with the presence of e-mail spam promoting illegal online pharmacies, provide teens with increasing exposure to prodrug information and misinformation about the consequences of using drugs.

Drug and drug rehab Use can start at 12 Years Old!
Additionally, many youth drop out of organized sports around the age of 12, which coincidentally is the same time many young people begin to use tobacco, drug rehab, and other drugs. By teaching coaches to mentor and lead young people more effectively, the Drug Treatment Center is increasing the likelihood that this effort will decrease youth risk factors and increase protective factors in the Upper Bucks community.

Burger King Supports Project Care
Burger King Supports Project Care
The business community has taken a lead in the Upper Bucks Drug Treatment Center. US Restaurants, the area Burger King franchisee, has raised more than $3 million since 1985 in support of Project CARE, a Drug Treatment Center founding member. Since US Restaurants learned that youth were selling drugs outside of the Quakertown Burger King in the mid-1980s, Burger King Restaurants in the area have been selling fund-raising coupon sheets. The president of the restaurant chain realized he had to get involved, and the company became committed to supporting Project CARE. Project CARE has trained more than 20,000 adults working with young people in schools and communities and has awarded higher education scholarships to students formerly in crisis because of drug rehab and other drug or mental health issues.
