The White House Challenges Prescription Drug Abuse

The White House Challenges Prescription Drug Abuse

The White House Challenges Prescription Drug Abuse

USA (PRWEB) February 18, 2015

The Hill announced in an article on Feb. 2nd that the White House is proposing to combat prescription drug abuse around the nation. The Obama administration is estimating to devote $ 4 trillion to the cause to raise awareness regarding prescription drug abuse. Directly, the administration hopes to curb the number of people who are killed from opiate overdoses. Harbor Village Detox is a drug detoxification treatment center who employs a professional and caring staff ensuring the longevity of recovering victims of substance use disorders. The facility welcomes necessary aid from the White House and projects that future attempts to redress opiate overdoses will positively impact the nation.

According to the same article by The Hill, the proposed budget will increase funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, and will include agencies who are devoted to fighting drug abuse.

The budget encourages states to extend their drug monitoring programs by providing extra funding nationwide. Additionally, according to The Hill, the budget proposes the use of stigmatized, life-saving medications like naloxone for first responders nationwide. The bill proposes that heroin use if an “urgent public health concern.”

“Every day, more than 100 people die as a result of drug overdose, and more than 6,700 are treated in emergency departments,” quotes The HIll.

Harbor Village Detox is committed to making a lasting impact on the lives of their patients by providing superior drug and alcohol treatment to those suffering from substance use disorders. A medical associate from the detox facility stresses that a professional and caring staff are one of the cornerstones of successful drug and alcohol treatment. “I think what the administration is proposing to do is wonderful. We see an uptick in the death tolls of those who die from opiate overdoses. It’s so disheartening when there is medical treatment available that has either failed [the victims], or failed to reach [overdose victims] initially. It’s so important that we also extend the training technicians and doctors receive who work in drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Hopefully this initiative will curtail the death rate from overdoses. Additionally, we must continue to educate our primary medical doctors to prevent them from over prescribing addictive medications, especiall y to patients with a family history of abuse."

Harbor Village Detox only employs professional and caring staff members to offer clients the apex in superior drug and alcohol treatment. Their luxury drug and alcohol treatment center is furnished with opulent amenities to help the detoxification process go smoothly. The center provides each patient with private bedrooms equipped with Netflix and Xbox access, gourmet meals, 24/7 medical treatment, and full spa and salon services.

Game Developers GG|Interacitive Change the Game for Common Core

Game Developers GG|Interacitive Change the Game for Common Core

Game Developers GG|Interacitive Change the Game for Common Core

Prospector Peril on Scratch

Vancouver, WA (PRWEB) February 19, 2015

Aristotle once said, “Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach.” When it comes to game design and programming, video game studio turned curriculum developer GG|Interactive is doing both and they are putting themselves in your high-schoolers’ classrooms.

“One of the goals of the Common Core standard is to cross-pollenate subjects such as math and biology and so often the attempts to do so are contrived and forced,” says Eric Preisz, CEO of GG|Interactive, “Game development is a nexus of so many sciences. And kids want to learn it.”

GG|Interactive’s take on the modern classroom is that teachers are understandably lacking experience in high tech subjects like game development. Their approach is to build a course that students can take at their own pace, guided by GG|Interactive employees who deliver all of the lectures in video form.

“We believe that students benefit from having industry influences in their classroom,” says Preisz. “The knowledge we can share is in professional game design and coding. It may appear as though we are trying to teach game development, but our real motivation is to teach computer science and software production, skillsets that are the most underserved in our country.”

GG|Interactive validates that philosophy with their Computer Science in Game Design curriculum, currently offered for free to educators and students for their first year using the course. It is the first time such a high school curriculum has been developed by a working video game studio.

“Teaching what we know about game design and game programming has become our obsession,” Preisz continues. “Putting it out there for a free trial is a way to validate ourselves and get it into the hands of teacher who can then add their expertise as educators.”

Computer Science in Game Design is now available free for the first year. The curriculum covers game design, programming and problem solving to high-school students and colleges.

GG|Interactive is a subsidiary of GarageGames, a successful video game studio with over 14 years’ experience in games and technology. Besides developing video games for Microsoft’s Xbox, GarageGames has developed educational games for online colleges and entertainment technology for the World’s Most Famous amusement park. The company is perhaps best known among gamers for creating and developing the Torque game engines. These engines are used by thousands of game-makers who are part of a thriving community of game designers and programmers that share their work and knowledge with like-minded people.

Fat Pony Games Releases Lascaux: The Journey

Fat Pony Games Releases Lascaux: The Journey

Fat Pony Games Releases Lascaux: The Journey

Survival in the Stone Age

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) February 03, 2015

Seattle’s Fat Pony Games announces the launch of its debut tablet game Lascaux: The Journey

Inspired by the ancient cave art of France, Lascaux: The Journey is the adventure of a small tribe fleeing the great ice flows covering their homeland 20,000 years ago. In search of a new home, they find a sheltered river valley that offers protection to humans and animals alike.

Success depends on an effective hunting strategy, opportunistic foraging, and a tribe with the right balance of skills. The player leads the tribe through the trial of finding shelter and enough food to survive the cold winters as they explore the valley and progress towards the cave of Lascaux. It’s a lovely land, if one isn't busy freezing, starving, or being killed by cave bears and mammoths.

Designer and artist Karen Laur’s vision for the game arose from a love for the subject matter. “I have always considered the animal paintings of Lascaux to be some of the most profound art ever made. The obvious depth of understanding the artists had for their subjects made me realize how deeply they lived in the environment. Our game came from a desire to bring those cave walls to life, and to in some way experience that world,” said Laur.

"We used the Unity game engine so we could focus on creating a fun, interesting experience and easily bring it to both platforms, iOS and Android," said Bill Wright, the programmer and system architect of the game world of Lascaux. "I hope that managing the needs of your tribe, learning the tools and skills they need to survive, and discovering the world they live in will be as fun and enjoyable for players as it was for our small team to build."

Designed for iPad and Android tablets, Lascaux: The Journey available in the Apple Store, Google Play and Kindle App Store

About Fat Pony Games

Hacker Panic: NJIT Computing Expert Talks Cybersecurity in Light of the Recent Sony Hacking Scandal

Hacker Panic: NJIT Computing Expert Talks Cybersecurity in Light of the Recent Sony Hacking Scandal

Hacker Panic: NJIT Computing Expert Talks Cybersecurity in Light of the Recent Sony Hacking Scandal

Newark, NJ (PRWEB) January 14, 2015

Late last year, over the course of several weeks, Sony Pictures Entertainment was hit with a sophisticated digital break-in that brought the global company to an electronic standstill. The hackers got their hands on some 100 terabytes of data, crippling Sony’s network and leaking everything from personal emails, employee salaries and Social Security numbers to unreleased films and passports and visas of cast and crewmembers. The damaging attack is said to cost Sony tens of millions of dollars to clean up.

While data breaches aren’t anything newâ€"Target’s massive 2013 breach affected 70 million customers, and last fall's iCloud photo hack victimized dozens of celebritiesâ€"this especially brazen corporate attack was unprecedented, elicited FBI probes and generated a response from President Obama (he sanctioned North Korea for their alleged involvement), but mostly, it left folks coddling their usernames and passwords and questioning the safety and confidentiality of their personal information.

To help reduce the risk of future data breaches, Dr. Kurt Rohloff is hard at work on groundbreaking, research-based strategies with an emphasis on encrypted data, privacy preservation technologies and protection from censorship. “One particular area I’ve been focusing on is in the development and application of practical methods for a new family of encryption schemes called Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE),” says the computer science professor and distributed computing expert, who worked as a contractor for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency before joining NJIT. The multiple FHE schemes provide approaches to encrypt data, pass the encrypted data off to a third party (such as the Amazon Cloud computing environment), give algorithms to the cloud data host that are run over the encrypted data, enable the cloud host to produce encrypted results from running the algorithms on the encrypted data and decrypt the result.

“The decrypted result is the exact same answer as if you had run the algorithm on the original source data,” explains Rohloff. “At no time does the cloud host have access to any decryption keys or the original unencrypted data.”

Here, Rohloff discusses the importance of his leading-edge research, the Sony hack heard ‘round the world and what everyday citizens can do to protect their digital identity.

Your research is beyond timely, given the frequency and impact of recent cyberattacks. Why is this particular work important?

This work essentially addresses one of the primary flaws of cloud computing: that in order to use cloud computing, you need to trust the person hosting your data to not leak it in some way. By encrypting the data and still enabling processing on the data, privacy-sensitive industries such as the medical and financial domains can begin to outsource much of their IT infrastructure, and obtain the resulting financial benefits. My work on practical FHE is motivated by application. Many academic cryptographers tend to focus on theory and protocols, but I strongly prefer to write software for everything that I do, either to show things working in a proof-of-concept or to solve real-world problems where people need technology solutions.

Cybersecurity certainly has everyone’s attention given the recent Sony Pictures Entertainment hack. What are your thoughts?

One of the challenges with cybersecurity is that it is a very difficult story, and many companies are unfortunately reluctant to share the true details about what happened. In some sense, this is something I’d like to try to address with my research: to develop a framework for companies to share sensitive information, such as cyberattack information, without fear of legal or financial repercussion that would result from full disclosure. This would allow companies to be better informed and protect themselves by learning lessons from past victims.

In what ways can a cyberattack affect a business's bottom line?

A cyberattack can affect a business’s bottom line in many ways. For one, a business can lose sensitive data, such as new product information or customer data to competitors. A business can also lose customers due to frustration with the lack of protection with their data. Also, a business’s stock price could decline due to lack of investor confidence.

Given its political slant, what kind of impact does the Sony hack have on the future of cybersecurity?

Hopefully, this recent attack shows the need for more comprehensive security postures to better segregate data within a corporate domain and provide so-called defense-in-depth. Furthermore, it shows that successful attacks even on corporate entities can have political and diplomatic implications. More research is needed in more usable and deployable security that is more likely to be used in real-world scenarios.

Data breaches seem to be common as of late. Why is personal information so easy to steal?

These kinds of attacks have been going on for a long time. They seem to have become more prominently reported in the news media as the scale of the attacks have increased, and the potential impacts on the lives of ordinary citizens have increased as companies are increasingly storing more data in corporate IT infrastructure that is increasingly accessible by the open Internet.

Why hack into accounts? What do cybercriminals have to gain?

Cybercriminals have any number of reasons to steal data. I can’t speak to specific motivations, but most are probably financial. The thieves can steal personal information that can be sold to other criminals either for identity theft or to obtain credit cards.

What can people do to protect their information?

Most importantly, only share information with people who really need it. Too often I see customers blithely share sensitive data such as Social Security numbers or even email addresses when not needed. Also, only do business with companies who will respect your privacy. Sony has been funny because they have had a surprisingly long string of huge cybersecurity blunders in recent memory, from the malware rootkit they put on CDs they sold to customers to the PlayStation data breach. Practice good cyber “hygiene” by always keeping software up-to-date on your computer, never install unneeded software, and never open unexpected email attachments.

The San Diego Business Journal Presents Zeeto CEO, Stephan Goss with the 2015 Most Admired CEO Award

The San Diego Business Journal Presents Zeeto CEO, Stephan Goss with the 2015 Most Admired CEO Award

2015 Most Admired CEO Awards

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) February 19, 2015

The Most Admired CEO Awards is the pinnacle event in San Diego that recognizes the region’s best and brightest leaders in the business community. This year the San Diego Business Journal (SDBJ) presented Zeeto CEO, Stephan Goss with the 2015 Most Admired CEO award in the medium sized, privately-held company category. With a record 131 finalist this year, the distinction takes on an even greater honor for Goss and his team at Zeeto. “Our team here his amazing,” commented Goss. “They are so talented in what they do. It’s because of them Zeeto keeps being recognized with these outstanding awards.”

Since becoming CEO of the flourishing technology company, Stephan has more than doubled Zeeto’s revenue, bringing in over $ 32.5 million last year. Considering that the company is just four and a half years old, started in 2010, it’s a testament to the leadership and practices Stephan has implemented. He and his team have built Zeeto into one of the nation’s top online lead generation companies, totaling over 50 million leads in 2014. Their flagship properties, Samples.com and GetItFree.us have cornered the coupons, deals and free samples market, attracting an average of 9 million visitors a month, while producing 7+ million redemptions in the last ten months. Unlike many lead gen companies, Zeeto operates its own websites and builds in house proprietary technology, creating high ROI leads for clients across all verticals.

Business achievements and various company stats were not the only things that caught the eye of SDBJ when choosing Goss for this honor. From day one he has incorporated some of the finest perks of any company in San Diego. Zeeto boasts two full time chefs that provide daily breakfast and lunch. A fully stocked kitchen with more amenities than you can imagine. The company brews their own beer â€" affectionately dubbed “Zeeto Brew” and barrel ages Manhattans. Who has an office masseuse that comes in twice a week? Zeeto does. Employees are encouraged to bring their dogs to work. They have a hair stylist… laundry service…free annual tax service…yoga instructor, the list goes on. And when the pampering gets to be too much, employees can hop into the ping pong room for a quick match â€" maybe challenge someone to a game of darts, foosball, chess, PlayStation? Outside the office the company sponsors monthly happy hours with free Uber rides and a $ 2500 entertainment bu dget. Paid field trips to Padres games, the Del Mar Horse Races, ski trips and brewery tours keep this company acting more like a big family.    

Stephan is a believer in giving back to the community and getting involved with local issues that will make San Diego a better place to work and live. He is a supporter of various non-profits and civic groups that include: Family Health Centers of San Diego, the San Diego SWAT Association, San Diego City College, the USO, SILO in Makers Quarter and the Surfrider Foundation. Stephan sits on the Board of Directors for the Downtown San Diego Partnership (DSDP) where he served as past Chairman of the Tech Startup Committee.

Under Goss’ leadership, Zeeto is fortunate to have been the recipient of many prominent awards. The SDBJ recognized Zeeto as the #2 Best Place to Work in San Diego for a medium sized company. The U-T San Diego awarded Zeeto the grand prize for Top Workplace Excellence. And the DSDP presented Zeeto with the coveted Alonzo Award for their efforts that have contributed significantly to the enhancement and enrichment of downtown San Diego.

About Zeeto:

Zeeto is a technology company that specializes in generating high ROI leads for clients across all verticals. With over 50 million leads generated in 2014, Zeeto has become a powerhouse in the performance based online marketing industry.
