However, that latter isn't true: we're making advances in <a href="http://www.patmoorefoundation.com/drug-treatment">drug treatment</a> even as we seem to be finding more addictions that require such treatment. Some such advances are as a result of basic knowledge advancing: others as a result of advances in the pharmocopeia.<br /><br />But perhaps the most interesting advances in <a href="http://www.patmoorefoundation.com/drug-treatment">drug treatment</a> are coming from an acknowledgement that many addictions, while they might be to entirely different substances, have at their core the same problems. It can be simply that addiction itself is built into the addict and it can also be seen that others have underlying problems which need to be solved over and on top of that of the addiction itself. Dual diagnosis is the term usually used to describe that latter procedure.<br /><br />But perhaps the most interesting point is that if all (or many, or most) addictions have the same or similar root causes then perhaps what works for one addiction will work for others. Perhaps the AA 12 step program will work for those addicted to drugs as well? And indeed there are encouraging signs that it does. This isn't to say that we simply send drug addicts off to AA for their <a href="http://www.patmoorefoundation.com/drug-treatment">drug treatment</a>: far from it. We might want heroin users to be placed on methadone....as well as using an adapted 12 steps program.<br /><br />But as I say, this point that addictions have more in common with each other than they differ means that we can begin to look at integrated and holistic methods of dealing with them. Click through to find out about a treatment center that does just that.Tim Worstallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13161727860817121071noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13616986.post-39515592301079409692009-11-07T05:37:00.001-08:002009-11-07T05:40:22.670-08:00Fort Hood victims listNo one really has a full Fort Hood victims list as yet: the military haven't released one and no one else is really in a position to know.<br /><br />However, one newspaper has been doing sterling work in trying to piece together a Fort Hood victims list: the San Antonio Express.

What they've been trying to do is read every newspaper story on the matter (of which there are tens of thousands) so as to try and piece together that Fort Hood victims list. But they've only got 11 dead there, while the reports themselves say there were 13 killed.</p><p>It looks like we'll not have a definitive victims list from Fort Hood until the military release one.<br /></p>Tim Worstallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13161727860817121071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13616986.post-16245754143039062322007-06-25T07:43:00.000-07:002007-06-25T07:47:20.978-07:00Tom Cruise and FertilityThere's something naggling at the back of my mind: something about Tom Cruise. I'm trying to remember what it was that was said about the reason he didn't have children with Nicole Kidman. It could of course have been that he or she didn't want them, but then they adopted two.<br /><br />I seem to remember (and this will make the <a href="http://freekatie.blogspot.com/2007/06/katie-holmes-and-tom-cruise-wedding.html">Katie Holmes</a> marriage look a little odd) that there was some mention of Cruise having an endocrine problem? That he was therefore infertile?<br /><br />Note I said infertile, not impotent please. So both Nicole and <a href="http://freekatie.blogspot.com/">Katie Holmes</a> might be having fun. But if I'm right in remembering this, then how come <a href="http://freekatie.blogspot.com/">Katie Holmes</a> got pregnant?

So i decided to have a search for the best ringtones sites. Maybe everyone knows Ringophone.com or Ultrasonic-ringtones.com but to tell the truth the best site for free ringtones to download is GoldRingtone.com. Download the best <a href="http://www.goldringtone.com/">Ringtones</a> for free! Doesn't it sound attractive? The site has a weekly update (as they inform me with their press release) so you can continuously find the best new <a href="http://www.goldringtone.com/">free ringtones</a>.<br /><br />The site is simple. The users can download <a href="http://www.goldringtone.com/">free mp3 ringtones</a> from any carrier. Besides, there are sections for all carriers. You can get <a href="http://www.goldringtone.com/">free Sprint Ringtones</a>, or <a href="http://www.goldringtone.com/">free Cingular Ringtones</a>.Tim Worstallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13161727860817121071noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13616986.post-6368947558075375692007-03-18T07:51:00.001-07:002007-03-18T07:51:30.511-07:00PS 3 Price Controversy<p>Yes, the Sony Playstation 3 has launched and there's an argument over its <a href="http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/science_technology/uk+launch+sparks+console+wars/312547">price</a>:</p> <p> </p> <p><em>The PlayStation 3 has come under fire because of its £425 price tag - around £120 more than its US retail price.</em> <p><em>It will compete with the hugely successful Nintendo Wii console and Microsoft's Xbox 360.</em> <p><em>The PS3 launched in Japan and the US in November but its European debut was delayed due to problems with manufacturing its blu-ray disc.</em> <p><em>It goes on sale in the UK this Friday, with the official launch taking place at midnight in Virgin Megastores on London's Oxford Street.</em> <p><em>PlayStation manufacturer Sony said around 220,000 consoles would be shipped to the UK for Friday.</em> <p><em>Michael Brook, editor of gadget magazine T3, said it was rumoured the price of the PS3 would be lowered in time for Christmas. "The real techies are going to love it and I think will bear the cost straight from the offset. But for it to go really mass market I think it will be Christmas when the price drops," he said</em>. <p>The reason is, as everyopne should know, that property in hte UK (as well as taxes, there's 17.5 % VAT in that price) is expensive.
