The Cold War (Russian: холо́дная война́, kholodnaya voyna) was a continuing state of political and military tension from the 1940s to the early 1990s between the powers of the Western world, led by the United States and its NATO allies, and the Communist world, led by the Soviet Union, its satellites and allies. This began after the success of their temporary wartime alliance against Nazi Germany, leaving the USSR and the US as two superpowers with profound economic and political differences. The post-war recovery of Western Europe was facilitated by the United States' Marshall Plan, while the Soviet Union, wary of the conditions attached, declined and set up Comecon with its Eastern allies. The United States forged NATO, a military alliance using containment of communism as a main strategy through the Truman Doctrine, in 1949, while the Soviet bloc formed the Warsaw Pact in 1955. Some countries aligned with either of the two powers, whilst others chose to remain neutral with the Non-Aligned Movement.
The Cold War never featured direct ("hot") military action, since both sides possessed nuclear weapons, and because their use would probably guarantee their mutual assured destruction. Cycles of relative calm would be followed by high tension which could have led to war. The most tense involved:
- Berlin Blockade (1948–49)
- Korean War (1950–53)
- Berlin Crisis (1961), leading to the erection of the Berlin Wall
- Vietnam War (1959–75)
- Cuban Missile Crisis (1962)
- Soviet war in Afghanistan (1979–89)
- Able Archer 83 exercises (1983)
The conflict was instead expressed through military coalitions, strategic conventional force deployments, extensive aid to states, espionage, propaganda, arms races, appeals to neutral nations, rivalry at sports events, and technological competitions such as the Space Race. The US and USSR fought proxy wars of various types: in Latin America and Southeast Asia, the USSR assisted and helped foster communist revolutions, opposed by several Western countries and their regional allies; some they attempted to roll back through subversion and warfare, with mixed results. To alleviate the risk of a potential nuclear war, both sides sought détente in the 1970s to relieve political tensions.
In the 1980s, the US's Reagan Doctrine increased diplomatic, military, and economic pressures on the Soviet Union at a time when the nation was already suffering economic stagnation. In the late 1980s, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev introduced liberal reforms of perestroika ("reconstruction", "reorganization", 1987) and glasnost ("openness", ca. 1985). This opened the country and its satellite states to a mostly peaceful wave of revolutions in 1989 which culminated in the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, leaving the United States as the dominant military power. The Cold War and its events have left a significant legacy, and it is often referred to in popular culture, especially in media featuring themes of espionage and the threat of nuclear warfare.

BJJ Practitioners Take On the Yellow Bamboo
No doubt you have all heard of Yellow Bamboo, the self proclaimed self-development, protection, healing and white magic non-profit association (1) based in Bali, which boasts over 30,000 (unconfirmed) practitioners worldwide. Proponents of Yellow Bamboo (YB from now on) claim that performing certain exercises in order to cultivate and direct your "chi" grants the practitioner powers that can only be described as magic, and that include levitation, longevity, healing, and, last but not least, the ability to knock down an aggressor from a distance, without making any contact. For those interested, you can take a look at what a part of their training routine looks like here.
In addition to making such extraordinary claims, YB practitioners are notorious for spamming internet communities dedicated to the practice of martial arts of all sorts in order to attract more converts into their organization. This practice has led to a number of internet confrontations and challenges, as it usually is the case with such things, none of them have ever been carried through from the interenet to real life; until now, that is.
What started as a series of discussion on the usenet group rec.martial-arts, spanning at least a couple of years of heated debate, has finally matured into a physical test of these supposedly magical powers, announced in a post here.
Two Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners from Australia (THEMAD1 and GreenStar) have stepped forward to challenge their local YB representative to prove once and for all that no-touch or Chi knockouts are, and have always been, complete and utter bullshit. The test was set up as follows. The YB practitioner assumes a stance on the sand and is given time to prepare his Chi in accordance with YB practices. The challenger then runs 20 feet across the sand and attacks the YB practitioner. As the challenger is making his run, the YB practitioner has to effectively disable or deflect him using his chi. Here's how it played out.

Sadly your english-fu is better than mine.
I would change the first bit "No doubt you have all heared of Yellow Bamboo", no reason to assume people know about them. Along the same lines, if you say "so obviously it follows", it usually doesn't.
Just deleting up to "Yellow Bamboo" from the first sentence should be sufficient..

The Carolina Panther's cheerleaders excited the community with their visit to West Jefferson Chevrolet Tuesday, Oct. 16, and the Ashe County High School's marching band benefited from a fundraiser held in their honor.
"This was a good opportunity for the cheerleaders to interact with the fans," said Scott Auker, from the Panther's corporate sponsorship marketing department.
Auker also said "the Panther's organization wants to have the support of the entire state of North Carolina, so we like to visit areas, even if they are a few hours away from the stadium."
Not only was the event enjoyable, Panther Day was also a venue to raise money for the Ashe County High School's Marching Band.
"This event was really successful. It was a good tie-in to our community and I'm proud to say it really helped the band," said Brian Minton, the general manager of West Jefferson Chevrolet.
Due to Panther Day, the band raised $756, according to Mason Harris, the president of the band booster club.
This money was raised in a variety of ways. For instance, West Jefferson Chevrolet gave the band several pieces of Panther paraphernalia to auction off, which turned into profit for the band.
Also, the band attended Panther Day, selling food to visitors and playing a few "pep tunes," said Carrie Mitchell, the director for the Ashe County High School Marching Band.
Harris said there are more fundraising opportunities for the band in the future. According to Harris, the band booster club will hold a silent auction for a 2013 Chevrolet Spark on March 23, 2013, at Family Central.
The band booster club pans on selling 300 raffle tickets at $100 per ticket. If every ticket is sold, the raffle will raise $30,000, minus the approximate $20,000 for the 2013 Spark, leaving the band with approximately $10,000.
According to Harris, the high school's marching band needs new uniforms, which are now 13 years old, and in some cases, literally falling apart. Harris said this is the reason for the band's recent fundraising efforts.
Auker said he was happy the band benefited from the event, calling Panther Day "a success" for the community and the events sponsors, GMC and Buick, who are also sponsors of the Carolina Panthers.

(January 5, 2006) - Jason Weddle has been appointed interim athletic director at Hagerstown Community College.
"I'm excited about the opportunity that has presented itself," said Weddle. "I look forward to working with the great coaching and support staff to continue building on the excellent reputation of HCC's athletic program."
In this position, Weddle will be responsible for the administration of HCC's 13 athletic programs, which involve more than 150 student-athletes, and the supervision of four full-time staff members, the coaching staff and student workers. He will also continue to perform some of his duties as athletic trainer.
Weddle began his professional affiliation with Hagerstown Community College in 2001 and most recently held the position of physical education faculty, which included athletic trainer duties for all college athletic teams.
Weddle holds a master's degree in education with a concentration in exercise physiology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and bachelor's degree in physical education with a concentration in athletic training from Salisbury State University. He attended HCC as a student for one year. He is a graduate of Boonsboro High School, where he played football and basketball.
Weddle replaces former athletic director Brian Beck, who resigned in December 2005. A search for a permanent athletic director is currently underway. HCC's athletic program is a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association.

I think the title says everything but:
I want to generate a small sample raster (eg. euclidean distance or cost distance) to explain the method of cost-distance analysis, and I'd like to label the pixels with the corresponding cost-value.
I already tried to lay a fish-net over the raster in arcgis, but I didn't find a good way to copy the values into the attribute table.
I'd appreciate every hint! :)

Rated 4 out of 5Â by TammyB Different Colors Fit Differently Hi Ladies...I bought these at the store. I am 5'4", 120 lbs. I bought SMALL in the ivory combo (same as black combo#, but the patterned tights run a little smaller. I bought the brown w/pink paisley pattern. And, they were out of size M at the store, so I took a chance on the size L, and they fit just fine. In the ivory combo #and black combo) , anything bigger than size S would have been loose. The material on both is not scratchy at all --to me), and the fit is very relaxed at the waist for both. These are very comfortable. I gave them 4 stars due to cost, and also the discrpency in sizing amongst the colors...makes it harder to figure out sizing. If these were about $30, and consistent size-wise, I'd give them 5 stars. 11.30.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by luvehorror Long, but cozy. I really like the warmth you get from these sweater leggings. Too bad the color I really wanted had already sold out. But I bought in espresso and I really like the colors. Perfect for Thanksgiving. One thing worth mentioning: Tag reads: Hand Wash. Do Not Wring. Lay Flat to Dry. I washed accidentally with other darks. When I pulled these out of the washer they were a bit stretched out. But I threw in the dryer for a bit and they reshaped. In the future I will wash separate in a delicate bag on gentle cold setting, and I think tumble dry low is okay for these. The sizing on these is pretty accurate. I'm pregnant so all I wear is leggings. I'm 127 lbs with my bump, 5'4 and the Large fit me perfectly. If I wasn't pregnant I would suggest a M or even Small. These are a bit longer than the majority of my leggings, but I plan to put socks over them and wear knee high boots. 11.21.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Boote Boote I needed to write a review for these b/c there is definately a size discrepancy. I ordered the black and ivory (plain ones) first in a medium..loved them! They are a little loose but in an oh so comfy way. Have not worn them yet so don't know if they stretch out. For reference i am 5'7" and 135. Usually a small in free people dressed. 6/8. Decided to order the gold strip ones to wear with an ivory top and found that the medium barely fit my thighs...very uncomfortable...so watch which ones you order! 11.3.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by jojo83 Not So Much.. I bought leggings from Free People last year and these were way different. They are super cute, and the colors are nice, but they aren't stretchy, and they're kind of irritate my skin. They also run small, being a slim 5"7, I had to work to get them all the way up.. So I returned them.. but if they go on sale I might just but them again in medium... 10.29.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by OutlawKate cute but fit strange i bought these last year and was really excited to recieve them. I am 5'7" and 125 pounds and i have a slender build. I bought the smalls and i find them to be snug through the legs. they are sewn in a tubular contruction and dont give much by virtue of the fabric. the rear end stretched out quickly though so they were saggy in the fanny. fine around the waist though. They are fine but they snag/pilled easily. wanted to love them but they are just OK. 10.5.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Shauna Great, but Snug I must agree with the other reviewers. These leggings aren't very stretchy at all. I am tall and thin (5'11, 128 lbs) and usually wear a small, sometimes medium, in Free People Leggings. I ordered a large based on another reviewer's comments and was soooo glad I did. I really had to squeeze into them, and they were snug all up the legs and butt area, but roomy around the waistline for me. Once they're on they are fine, but I would definately recommend ordering a size or two up. Seriously. Other than that, they're beautiful and I love them! 9.13.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rumnroses <3 <3 <3 These leggings are awesome! The fabric is thick and warm, but they do not stretch much. I suggest you size up 1 or 2 sizes. I am 5'6" 120 and got the Small, and could get them on, but really couldn't move in them. I sent them back for a Large...I want them to be comfy and roomy. VERY cute, can't wait to wear them, great quality!! 9.6.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sofonisba24 Love- but Small I love these leggings, however, I did not realize they would be so small. I have always been an XS in Free People- often times the XS has to be taken in because I am very petite. These were not like that! They were extremely snug and sadly the small has been sold out for months in the color I like! I will have to squeeze into them because I do not want to return them- but overall I LOVE Them!! 12.8.2012

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
By Charlie Brown
From the beginning, Sugarbush has always been a special mountain. I can remember when I first saw it and fell immediately in love, 42 years ago. Now there is a new look to it, in fact a $60 million "new look." With the building of the new Gate House Lodge, Clay Brook Residences and the Timbers Restaurant, Sugarbush has stepped into the 21st century. Lots of folks claim that Stowe is the capital of Eastern skiing, but for me Sugarbush always had the best terrain with the best skiing. From beginning skier to expert, it rolls and flows so that no matter your skiing level, you are always comfortable on the mountain. Now one of the missing links has been added to the mountain -- a place to stay.
The Clay Brook Residences, which feature a big red barn-like structure, are complete with a silo. The silo contains some well thought out designs, with up to five bedrooms, overlooking the slopes and more. The building has beds to accommodate 420 people, underground parking, ski concierge, two outdoor hot tubs, fitness room, a game room and underground parking. Outside, there is a heated year-round swimming pool.
The new Gate House is also well thought out; the top floor has increased eating space and an up-to-date Food Court. Downstairs is the Castle Rock Pub, Guest Services Desk, ticket booths, ski shop and locker space to store your gear while skiing.
Last but not least is the Timbers Restaurant, a year-round 130-seat restaurant that has a 45-foot post and beam ceiling, a curved cement bar, stone fireplace as well as indoor and outdoor dining. They will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner year round and will host weddings and conferences.
But it is only the beginning; by the fall of 2007 there will be a Guest Services Building. Three new buildings will be added later and reconnect to the nearby old village featuring Chez Henri. Oh yes, I almost forgot, the new parking lot is now paved, so no more driving over potholes on your way to the mountain.

The wildflowers that line the banks of White Oak Bayou and other bayous aren't just there for aesthetics. Wildflowers, such as Bluebonnets, Drummond Phlox, Indian Blankets, Indian Paintbrush and Mexican Hats are planted by the Harris County Flood Control District for very practical purposes. Aside from beautifying the local landscape, a carpet of wildflowers can offset the first mowing cycle, saving the District's maintenance dollars for other needed projects and preventing tons of cut organic materials from entering our channels. Wildflowers also provide sustainable landscape and wildlife habitat. So, not only does the public benefit in many ways, but so do the creatures that depend on the local waterways for survival.

Texas A&M researchers found a way to create maroon bluebonnets.
Photo By Skip RichterTexas A&M researchers found a way to create maroon bluebonnets.
President Barack Obama's visit to the University of Texas in Austin could be overshadowed by the emergence of a scandal of potentially epic proportions.
Maroon bluebonnets are taking over flowerbeds below the school's iconic tower. Officials fear their landscape has been infiltrated by longtime rival Aggies.
"There were just a few at first but now there's much more," said Markus Hogue, program coordinator for UT Irrigation and Water Conservation.
Hogue said his team had planted regular bluebonnet seeds all over the campus. It's only in the beds below the tower that the maroon ones are showing, leading him to believe that they were planted there deliberately.
"When we started seeing the maroon, I started researching it more, (that) led me to believe that it was more likely these seeds were created at A&M and brought over here," Hogue said.
Insert dramatic music here.
Over at the Texas A&M campus, horticulturalists confirmed Thursday that maroon-bonnet seeds were indeed bred by them after researchers spotted a few occurring naturally in the Texas countryside.
"They took red ones and isolated them, and continued to select them until there was only maroon left," said Skip Richter from A&M's agrilife extension center in Harris County.
Richter is just one of thousands of A&M scientists and specialists all over the state, leading some to suggest that they had plenty of opportunity to slip onto the UT campus, perhaps under cover of darkness, to spread their maroon interlopers.
Richter said he didn't know anything about that, but he said it is likely that someone did plant them deliberately.
"Somebody scattered the seed probably," said Richter. "You wouldn't have a bunch of one color sprouting up (otherwise)," he said, undoubtedly smirking.
Bluebonnets also come in white and pink but if they are put with blue ones all would naturally return to blue over time, according to Richter. A Texas flag once created out of different colored bluebonnets has now turned back to blue.
At UT, the opposite is happening. More maroon ones are appearing. It's led to much consternation from some students.
"Some find it cute," said Hogue. "Others say if they get too much they want them removed."
Hogue's team is preparing to stop the rival breed in its tracks by cutting off seed cases with scissors before they can propogate.
At A&M, though, the controversy has led to much hilarity.
Richter said the school also bred special maroon carrots, and is quick to point out that "God chose to put a maroon gene in (the bluebonnet family), but there ain't no orange one."

"Texas textbooks need to get the facts straight"
Writing in the Austin American-Statesman (November 6, 2014), Camille Parmesan and Alan I. Leshner called on the Texas state board of education to insist on the correction of scientifically inaccurate material about climate change in social studies textbooks currently under consideration for state adoption. "Texas educators should reject the new textbooks unless they are edited to address the serious concerns outlined by the National Center for Science Education," they argued.

Ohio's antiscience bill progresses
Ohio's House Bill 597 — which if enacted would require students in the state's public schools to "review, in an objective manner, the scientific strengths and weaknesses of existing scientific theories in the [state science] standards" — was passed on a 7-2 vote by the House Rules and Reference committee on November 5, 2014, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer (November 5, 2014).
Banning creationism in Scottish schools?
A petition calling on the Scottish government to ban creationism from Scottish public schools is to receive a hearing in the Scottish parliament on November 11, 2014. Filed on behalf of the Scottish Secular Society, the petition asks (PDF) the parliament "to bar the presentation in Scottish publicly funded schools of separate creation and of Young Earth doctrines as viable alternatives to the established science of evolution, common descent, and deep time," adding, "Nothing in this request precludes the discussion of such doctrines in their proper place, as part of the study of ideas, neither does it nor can it infringe on individual freedom of belief."

The Southwestern Virginia Training Center (SWVTC) not only honored its many volunteers April 11, it heard how the Town of Hillsville vows to keep up the fight to keep the center open.
More than 100 people attended SWVTC's Annual Volunteer Appreciation Banquet, which provides an opportunity for the center to convey its gratitude to its volunteers for all of their hard work, dedication and tireless efforts. The SWVTC volunteers assist in the coordination of a wide variety of activities for facility residents throughout the year.
"The volunteer appreciation banquet was an opportunity for us just to pay homage to the many individuals and organizations that give up their time and their energy, and some even their resources into supporting the training center and our residents," said Andrew Shannon, SWVTC's Volunteer Services Director. "We certainly appreciate the strong representation we have."
Hillsville Mayor Greg Crowder was scheduled to speak, but was not able to attend due to a bout with bronchial asthma. His wife, LouAnne Crowder, spoke in his absence and conveyed his strong feelings and willingness to continue to support the training center, which is scheduled to close by June 30, 2018 as part of an agreement between the Commonwealth of Virginia and the U.S. Department of Justice.
"The training center and the people there, it's always meant a lot to him. He hated not being able to represent himself and the town that night," Crowder said. "He went to Richmond earlier this year and talked to the Senate about funding and about how closing the training center would impact the community."
Crowder also spoke about how much volunteers mean to SWVTC, calling them the lifeline to any kind of healthcare facility.
"It was about them and thanking them. It was an honor for them to ask Greg to come and for me to speak to them," she said. "And we told them we were going to continue to support the training center in any way we could. If there was anybody he could talk to, we weren't going to give up the fight. Let's keep up the fight to keep it open. It affects so many people, not only the workers, but the residents themselves."
Many local organizations came out in full force to the meeting such as the Hillsville VFW Post 1115 and its ladies' auxiliary organization, the Floyd Retired Seniors Volunteer Program, and Gospel Chapel Church, including Pastor Andy Edmonds.
"The highlight of the Volunteer Appreciation Banquet was certainly seeing and having the residents there engaging in partnership with the community at the banquet. The residents were present and they just wanted to show that they are thankful to our many community volunteers who give up so much of their time, energy and resources in supporting SWVTC," Shannon said.
The highlight of the night came from Evelyne Gunter of Mount Airy, N.C., Shannon said. Evelyne and her husband Lonnie Gunter pastor a church in Mount Airy, but for years they've traveled up and down the mountain to volunteer and assist Sunday service at the training center.
Lonnie Gunter passed away in March after volunteering for nearly 20 years at SWVTC. During the Volunteer Appreciation Banquet, Evelyne sang in memory of her husband.
"We did a special segment in memory and as a tribute to Rev. Lonnie Gunter. She gave a very strong and powerful performance of inspirational music to the attendees and everyone just sat in awe," Shannon said. "They sat with reverence and respect during that segment as Evelyne sang "He's an on time God." She sung that song and we made a presentation in memory of her husband and it moved the audience to tears. It was a very powerful evening."
Pathways Director Collene Webb also spoke about her 35 years at the Training Center and those that have volunteered during that time.
"Our partnerships with you-the volunteers and with this community have helped to strengthen and support the facility and the residents. I have been asked lots of times about what it has been like working at the center. It has not really been work in the scheme of things- it has been a unique opportunity to share in the lives of the many residents who live here," Webb said. "If you look around the room you will notice that the humanistic desire to help others is contagious. Volunteering is contagious! I admire your work, your empathy, your generosity, and your care for the residents of Southwestern Virginia Training Center who means so very much to me. It is because of the difference you have made as volunteers that the residents experience an enhanced quality of life and my thanks to you on their behalf."

Solid lightweight support
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
At a very reasonable price just under $30, I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of these gloves. I chose the black color so the dark color would hide dirt stains bound to happen quickly, but I was initially leery of how hot black-cloaked hands would get under the bright Utah sun. The great breathability of the mesh-like upper fabric kept my hands cool, so the dark color did not end up being an issue at all. The ergonomic design mentioned in the product description also did not disappoint. The gloves fit like a second skin over my hands, and I did not experience the awkward bunching or bulges of extra fabric produced by other bike gloves that I have owned (like my Fox Digit Gloves, which are a men's size S). I found the sizing to be similar to other women's bike gloves, which are sized smaller than men's gloves. For my average-sized but fairly long and slender fingers, the size M worked great. The light padding in the palm area and reinforced fabric along the underside of the fingers worked great for protecting my hands from trail chatter and sweaty and sticky grips. Their light weight, great breathability and padded support where glove meets grip makes these gloves great for mild- to hot-weather XC riding. For burlier or cooler rides, I still like my Fox Digits that feature thicker, more reinforced fabric all around made to take a greater beating and that offer more warmth in cooler temperatures. For lighter, more breathable and form-fitting support, these gloves do the job nicely.
Too small
These gloves are lovely but TINY!! I have a fairly 'normal' size hand and ordered a medium, think I probably needed an extra large, so just returned them.

Style: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu--
Hey have you asked Kristian how does he feel about seeing a guy like Danni Abbadi getting signed with the UFC and him getting the low end of the deal?
I mean he rejected a fight with Bisping when the UFC president was begging him to take it but at least he had a credible excuse. His cut seemed nasty.
I personally think Dana should cut Kristian a break and give him a can to fight in the UFC. They should had him matched up agaisnt Ross instead of Rory.
--Originally Posted by Copy/Paste Kid
Dear UFC,
No. This may kinda, sorta, not so much really, almost SOUND like a good idea - get J.Random fighter some buzz and a cool looking win - but trust me it'll lead to the same shithole that boxing is in now. Champions that won't fight top contenders and excellent young guys that can't get a fair shot is a bad thing for fans. Please continue to have the best fight the best, as much as possible.

I love taking notes on my bjj classes. While I'm on the mat there's just too much going on - too many thoughts to keep it all straight. Once I get home, I sit for a good 20 minutes writing down what we drilled, what worked, what didn't, and tips for me (make that leg heavier, hip out more, use your head etc.)
Before I go to train I read my entries from my last few days of training, and if I don't make the same mistake I did earlier, damn that feels good. Nothing keeps me motivated like seeing progress, and the best way to do that is to write down everything so that you know exactly where you stand.-Jordan

What Is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy affects about 8 percent of people over age 55.
Your nervous system consists of two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.
The nerves of your peripheral nervous system transmit messages between your central nervous system — your brain and spinal cord — and the rest of your body.
Peripheral neuropathy, which is often simply referred to as "neuropathy," is a condition that occurs when your peripheral nerves become damaged or disrupted.
It is estimated that neuropathy affects about 2.4 percent of the general population, and about 8 percent of people older than age 55, according to a 2004 report in the medical journal The Lancet. However, this estimate doesn't include people affected by a neuropathy resulting from physical trauma to the nerves.
Types of Neuropathies
Peripheral neuropathy can affect any of the three types of peripheral nerves:
- Sensory nerves, which carry messages from your sensory organs (eyes, nose, etc.) to your brain
- Motor nerves, which monitor the conscious movement of your muscles
- Autonomic nerves, which regulate the involuntary functions of your body
Sometimes, neuropathy will only affect a single nerve, in which case it's known as a mononeuropathy (carpal tunnel syndrome is a common example of a mononeuropathy).
Occasionally, two or more isolated nerves in separate areas of the body become damaged, resulting in a form of neuropathy called mononeuritis multiplex. Most often, however, multiple peripheral nerves throughout the body malfunction at the same time, a condition known as polyneuropathy.
Mononeuropathies are often more specifically defined by the nerves that are affected.
For instance, ulnar neuropathy refers to the damage of the ulnar nerve, which is near the elbow. Radial neuropathy is caused by trauma to the nerve that extends the length of the arm. And peroneal neuropathy affects the nerve at the outside of the lower knee. Other types of neuropathies include femoral neuropathy (in the thigh) and cervical neuropathy (in the neck region).
In all, scientists have identified more than 100 types of peripheral neuropathies, according to the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
Neuropathic Symptoms
Neuropathy results in a wide range of symptoms, which vary depending on the nerves that are affected. Some common symptoms include:
- Tingling sensation that begins in the toes and spreads
- Muscle weakness or paralysis
- Pain and burning sensations
- Uncontrolled muscle twitching
- Skin, hair, and nail changes
- Numbness or a heightened sensitivity to touch
- Loss of coordination and reflexes
- Digestive, bowel, or bladder problems
- Abnormal blood pressure, often resulting in lightheadedness
- Erectile dysfunction
- Overactive sweat glands
Causes of Neuropathy
Neuropathy is either acquired or inherited, though sometimes its cause is unknown (this is called idiopathic neuropathy).
Because sustained high sugar levels can damage nerves over time, diabetes is the most common cause of peripheral neuropathy. You may also acquire peripheral neuropathy from other health issues, including:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Chronic kidney disease
- Infections such as Lyme disease and leprosy
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Thyroid problems
Other things can cause nerve damage, leading to neuropathy:
- Poisoning from toxins or heavy metals
- Exposure to prolonged, extreme cold
- Alcohol abuse
- Medications for cancer, seizures, infections, and high blood pressure
Additionally, physical trauma can lead to neuropathies. For instance, broken bones or poor-fitting casts can crush nerves. And prolonged pressure on a nerve can cause neuropathy, as is the case with carpal tunnel syndrome and various kinds of radial neuropathies, such as Saturday night palsy, wherein you compress the radial nerve after falling asleep with an arm hanging over the armrest of a chair.
There are no treatments for inherited neuropathies, such as those from the hereditary neurological disorder known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
However, for acquired neuropathies, addressing the cause of nerve damage — such as by abstaining from alcohol, getting better nutrition, or controlling blood glucose levels — may help. Medications and other treatments are also available to help deal with nerve pain and other symptoms, if the underlying issue cannot be fixed.

On-line communication with a potential partner tends to accelerate one's sense of comfort and intimacy. What we 'hear' on a computer screen isn't always as it seems!
Before delving into any permanent and intimate relationship, it is essential to know each other in a deep and revealing way. Mutual honesty is key, both in the online world and the real. Real life experience by spending time together is vital to any good relationship. The more time spent together in person, the less chance for unexpected surprises to surface later.

Available on both Android and iPhone, the free app allows users to post comments anonymously and determine what local comments are shown through a simple voting system. Posts, or "yaks" as they are called, can be sorted so that the most recent or most popular comments in the user's area appear first. Users are also able to monitor their community posts and report any negative or innappropriate content. Once reported, these posts are flagged for removal, and if a user is repeatedly flagged, he or she is kicked off of the app.
"People want their voice out there, but they don't necessarily want their name attached," said Jamieson. "Yik Yak lets users communicate in their area with anonymity, and putting them in complete control gives a unique feel for each city."
Jamieson began working on the app towards the end of December last year when he was approached by Furman grads Brooks Buffington and Tyler Droll to develop their idea for the app. Yik Yak was released initially on iPhone on New Year's Day 2014, with the Android version coming a week later.
Yik Yak is the most recent in a long line of successful phone apps by Jamieson's Supreme Apps, including Front Flash and Facebook Photo Downloader. Yik Yak is currently available in both the iTunes and Android app stores. For more information, visit YikYakApp.com.
