Swim safely this summer
By Guest Blogger on June 23, 2011 at 10:33 AM
Spending a few hours at the pool is a great way to escape the hot summer heat and cool off. And the pool is a great place for having fun, socializing with friends and exercising. Swimming isn't all fun and games, though … whether you have your own pool, or you're swimming at a friend's […]

Watertown police arrested a Central Street man on felony assault and weapons charges after he allegedly stabbed one woman and injured another during a domestic dispute Thursday morning.
Lisandro Torres, 34, of 132 Central St., is accused of stabbing Alicia E. Hollenbeck, 20, of 27634 Route 283, Black River, in the upper torso with an unspecified knife. Mr. Torress live-in girlfriend, whose name was not released, also was injured during the argument, police said. Both women were taken by ambulance to Samaritan Medical Center for treatment, police said.
Mr. Torres fled on foot from the duplex but later turned himself in, according to a news release issued Thursday afternoon.
He was charged with one count each of second-degree assault and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Additional charges are pending, said police, who were not providing any other details. Several officers were called to the scene.
Both victims were conscious when they were taken to the hospital, neighbor Mary Bridgette said.
She said a friend of hers was being assaulted by her boyfriend when he turned around and stabbed the womans niece in the shoulder. The friend told Ms. Bridgette that she had an injury to her head, caused by the boyfriend ramming her head against a metal porch post.
I was having coffee and breakfast when I heard all the commotion, Ms. Bridgette said, adding that she went over to the house to see what had happened after a friend told her about it.
State police and the Jefferson County Sheriffs Department assisted in the search for Mr. Torres, who turned himself in near North Rutland and Bronson streets.
Watertown city firefighters assisted at the scene.

A couple more film shots from our outing on the big wooden ship:
Bless you, film photos, for being so easy to blog on busy days...
(And, also, the city I live in...).
These were taken on my Canon AE-1's auto setting, and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out! I'm still trying to grasp manual things like understanding what aperture and shutter speed to use when - lol - it seems simple, but my brain hasn't wrapped itself around it just yet.... :)
It's seriously hard to resist the urge to take film pictures of eeeeverything! I'm going to have to limit myself, since it's way pricey-er than digital. Maybe a roll or two a season, when nothing special is going on? that might be fun, because by the end of the season I'll probably forget what's at the beginning of a roll...he he.

Orange Amplifiers guitar amps have always been a bold choice in the world of popular music. Always ones to stand out, if you can't spot an Orange amp from a mile away, you can definitely hear one! This commitment to breaking away from the ordinary has allowed Orange to become one of the premier names in guitar amplification. Interestingly enough, Orange Amplifiers were originally a means to an end. Founded in 1968 by Clifford Cooper, these amps were initially sold to cover the costs associated with his recording studio. However, the amps quickly began outshining the studio, and Clifford could see that change was in the air and he could be more successful amplifying sound than he could recording it. Luckily for many of us, he made the right choice. Today, Orange amps are used by legions of legends and up-and-comers alike to achieve their distinct sounds. Guitarists such as Matthew Healy of the 1975, James Bowman of Against Me!, Sylvain Sylvain of the trail blazing New York Dolls, Quinn Allman of the Used, and a certain player you may have heard of named Jimmy Page all plug into beautiful Orange guitar amps.
Orange makes powerful amplifiers for all kinds of players, so you're sure to find one here that suits your style. If you're a beginner looking for their first amp, or a professional looking for a reliable amp to warm up on before taking the stage, have a look at an option like the Micro Crush PiX Series CR3 3W 1x3.5 Guitar Combo Amp. This tiny guitar amp is perfect for taking on the road or spots where space is at a premium, but even though it's small, it's still going to make some real noise when you plug it in. With a built-in tuner, and an overdrive function, this is a solid amp to hone your skills on.
Once you're ready to graduate to the serious window rattling amps, check out something like the OS-D-TH30-C112 30W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp. This beast is roaring with attitude and strikes a stellar balance between power and portability, making it a great choice for the touring guitarist. With a legendary all-tube tone, this amp will deliver all sorts of style when you hit the stage with it.
And that's only a small sampling of what Orange Amplifiers has to offer. Whether you're a beginner, an in-demand session performer, or a touring guitar hero, there is an Orange guitar amplifier that will feel like it's built just for you. If you're a true original, you deserve an Orange amp.

The Detroit Medical Center stroke specialists provide residents of Riverview with proven stroke care programs ranked among the finest in the nation.
What is a Stroke?
A stroke is when an artery that delivers blood to the brain is blocked by a blood clot, or when a blood vessel to the brain breaks, interrupting blood flow to an area of the brain. Without this blood flow, brain cells begin to die and brain damage occurs.
When a stoke starts to kill brain cells, the areas of your body controlled by those cells are affected – you may lose control of these areas, affecting your speech, movement and memory. How you are affected depends upon what part of the brain is affected by the lack of blood. Someone who has a small stroke may have only minor problems, such as weakness in a leg or arm. People with larger strokes may be paralyzed on one side of their body, or lose their ability to speak.
If you're a resident of Riverview and need a primary care doctor to help you determine your risk of stroke, an Riverview stroke specialist to see you through, or a Riverview stroke therapist to help you recover, your connection to the specialty hospitals of the DMC is 1-888-DMC-2500.
Stroke Symptoms
Every minute counts when you think you may be having a stroke. All stroke symptoms occur suddenly, so be sure you are aware of them if you think you may be at risk. The National Stroke Association offers this quick guide to use if you think someone is having a stroke:
- Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg; especially on one side of the body.
- Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding.
- Suddent trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.
- Sudden severe headache with no known cause.
Learn How to Prevent a Stroke
- Know your blood pressure. High blood pressure is a leading cause of stroke. Have it checked annually. If it is elevated, work with your doctor to keep it under control. If your doctor decides you have high blood pressure, he or she may recommend some changes in your diet, regular exercise, or medicine. Do not make changes to your diet, exercise or medicine routines without talking to your stroke doctor first.
- Find out if you have atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat that changes how your heart works and allows blood to collect in the chambers of your heart. This can lead to blood clots, which, if moved through the arteries by the heart, can lead to stroke. Your doctor can help you determine if you have atrial fibrillation, and may choose to lower your risk with medication.
- If you smoke, stop. Smoking doubles your risk for stroke. Quitting today immediately reduces your risk.
- If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. Drinking more than two alcoholic drinks per day can increase your risk for stroke by as much as three times, and also lead to liver disease, accidents and more. Remember that alcohol is a drug and can interact with some medications. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if any of the medicines you are taking could interact with alcohol.
- Find out if you have high cholesterol. A high level of "bad cholesterol" can mean build-up of plaque, which narrows the arteries and can limit or stop blood flow. Your cholesterol level can be inherited, or be a result of your body chemistry. It can also result from a diet high in saturated fats, lack of exercise or diabetes. Talk to your stroke doctor about your cholesterol levels and what you can do to control them.
- If you are diabetic, work with your doctor to control your condition. Often, diabetes can be controlled through careful attention to what you eat. Work with your doctor or a dietician to develop a healthy eating program, and create a healthy lifestyle to help control your diabetes.
- Exercise. Make time each day to take care of your body by exercising – a brisk walk for as little as 30 minutes a day can improve your health in many ways, and may reduce your risk for stroke.
- Eat healthy. Reducing the amount of sodium (salt) and fat in your meals may help you lower your blood pressure and lower your risk for stroke. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and grains.
- Adding fiber, such as whole grain bread, raw/unpeeled fruits and vegetables and dried beans, to your diet can reduce cholesterol levels.
- Ask your doctor about circulation problems. Strokes can be caused by problems with your heart, arteries, veins or blood. Your doctor can check to see if you have problems with the circulation supplying blood to your brain.
If you are a resident of Riverview and think you are having a stroke, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room. To find a Detroit Medical Center doctor who can help you assess your risk for stroke, call 888-DMC-2500, or request an appointment online from one of our Stroke Specialists.

Game Balls…?
Daniel Marcus
Technically what we saw yesterday was a win for the Jets but it arguably set back the game of football some 30 years and I can tell you from actually having been there that it was as miserable in person as it was on TV. However, a win is a win nonetheless and as such we have some reluctant Game Balls to hand out:
Bilal Powell/Shonn Greene:
The Jets two-headed rushing attack provided the vast majority of the offense from a team that was grasping at straws to find any. At this point, I don't think Shonn Greene can, will, or needs to be a "bell-cow" back for this team as we saw yesterday the rotation works perfectly fine. Powell on the other hand may actually have what it takes to handles the rocks 20+ times a game and I wouldn't mind seeing him get the bulk of the carries from here on out. The Louisville product racked up 58 yards on 12 carries, good enough for a 4.8 YPC average. Greene on the other hand, carried the ball 24 times for 104 yards, averaging 4.3 Yards Per Carry and had the "heads up" play of the game by taking a knee on the one-yard line instead of scoring to secure the victory.
Jeremy Kerley:
Playing through injuries, the second-year man out of TCU proves once again that he is the best receiver in a miserable group. Although his stats were nothing to write home about, (only three catches for 37 yards), two of those catches were acrobatic plays on back-shoulder throws, where he just outworked the defensive back to bring down the ball. His last reception was the biggest of the game, coming down with a Greg McElroy pass for a key third down conversion on what would prove to be the final drive of the game. Kerley looks like the only sure-thing on the Jets receiving corps and he's turning into a hell of a player and for that, here's a Game Ball.
The Defense:
I'm of the belief that this is more of a testament to how miserable the Cardinals offense is as opposed to how dominating the Jets defense was. However, since the stats were so gaudy and impressive I would be remiss not to hand them a Game Ball. For the majority of the game, it appeared as though the defense would have to score all the points if the Jets were to have any real shot at winning. Rex's defense held the Cards to just 137 yards of total offense (2.5 yards per play) and shut them out on third down, going 0-15. The defense was the only reason the Jets were in this game at all after three first-half interceptions by Mark Sanchez so I won't nitpick on the fact that they couldn't get consistent pressure on a third-string quarterback with one of the worst O-line's in football.
Greg McElroy:
I know this is the moment, you've all been waiting for, of course the Bama product is going to get a Game Ball. Although McElroy didn't do much on the field (only seven pass attempts), his entrance into the game did spark the team and the crowd. However, considering how Sanchez had played up to that point, the fans would have been cheering even if it was Rory McIlroy coming into the game. The team obviously responded to the quarterback change as even the defense looked like it was playing faster. McElroy is far from the answer but in this instance change was a good thing and he orchestrated the game-winning drive so we'll let him have his moment.
Ryan Lindley:
Lindley was arguably the Jets most valuable player yesterday (yes I understand that sounds ironic), but without his historically terrible quarterback play, there is no way they win this game. The third-stringer and newly-minted starter was putrid even when he had time to throw, missing wide open receivers more times than I was able to count. His final line was 10/31 for 72 yards, and a pick for a quarterback rating of *wait for it, wait for it* 3.0. I'm not sure if you are the first non-Jet to get a game ball, Ryan Lindley but yours was much deserved.
Take A Lap !
Mark Sanchez:
I don't know if anyone has ever been put on IR for an acute case of "Shell Shock" but I think that it would be the best thing for the "Sanchize" at this point. He just looks like he's lost out there, you knew he was doomed from the start when he threw an Eli-esque interception on their first offensive play. Three first-half picks and three quarters of sheer ineptitude led to what will likely be the unceremonious end to the Mark Sanchez Era as he was benched for the first time in his career in favor of the aforementioned Greg McElroy. The biggest indictment on Sanchez was that McElroy only had to manage the game effectively to come away with a win in this one. Who knows how this is going to play out now but number six should keep the puke bucket at the ready, God know I've had mine out all season watching him.
Nick Folk:
Ah, the life of a kicker, people only notice you when you're not doing your job. Folk, who had been having a pretty good season by all accounts put one off of each upright with attempts from 51 and 45 yards. Unfortunately for Folk, in low-scoring affairs like the one we saw yesterday, the game inevitably comes down to the kickers and he was less-than-stellar yesterday and for that TAKE A LAP!
Chaz Schilens:
In his "one and done" tour with the Jets, Schilens has been very up and down and yesterday was another down game for him. He took a rare perfect pass from Mark Sanchez right off the face mask ala Braylon Edwards and then flubbed another deep pass, which went off of his body en route to a Patrick Peterson interception. Admittedly it was a great play by Peterson but Schilens could have at least made a play on the ball to break it up but he didn't so he better lace up his Asics and get to running.

French lawmakers intend to pass a controversial bill that will ban "psychological violence" in marital (or cohabitation) relationships. This bill is controversial because on the one hand "psychological violence" is a difficult concept to define (and may be even more difficult to prosecute). On the other hand, a number of studies have linked psychological violence to physical abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, and behavioral problems in children. Thus, proponents argue that prosecuting psychological violence may reduce or prevent the occurrence of physical violence in relationships.
Psychological violence (intimidating, threatening, insulting, verbally abusing) in relationships has been found to significantly contribute to PTSD symptoms in victims (Basile et al, 2004). Psychological violence also correlated positively with physical violence. Relevant to France's recent decision, Basile and colleagues argue that it is important for policy-makers and public health officials to consider various types of intimate partner violence (IPV) — physical violence, psychological violence, stalking, and sexual violence — and the heightened effects of a combination of these on the PTSD symptoms of victims. Further complicating the picture, Clarke et al (2007) report that psychological aggression in marriages contributes to a variety of behavior problems in children.
The recent move by the French government can serve as a reminder of the difficult nature of bringing social scientific research into the legal setting. What counts as "proof" in one setting (statistical relationships and narrative accounts, for example) differs from the other (prosecutable evidence). While the detrimental effects of psychological abuse may have growing support in psychological literature the transferral of this finding into the court setting is far from straightforward. Much of the difficulty arises from the lack of a clear definition of "psychological violence." Further, the evidence of such harm is not as clear as the evidence of physical harm. Sheehan (2006) documents the difficulties of arguing "emotional abuse" cases of children in courts and it will be interesting to see if future cases in France will parallel this struggle.

In case you missed it, Adwords recently announced their new targeting feature – targeting customers by zip code. Along with zip code targeting, Google has also introduced a new way to insert locations in your ads and "clearer and more powerful" targeting options. Location extensions merge your business address and phone number seamlessly with your ad text. Whether you have a single storefront or multiple ones, location extensions allow you to attract customers who are interested in businesses in your area. If you customize your direct mail, outdoor ads, or newspaper ads at a postal code level, you now can easily do the same in AdWords in the US. We are introducing the ability to target more than 30,000 US ZIP Codes with your AdWords campaigns. You will be able to add up to 1,000 postal codes at a time to your search ad campaigns with AdWords Location Targeting. Plus, you can get feedback on the performance of your local campaigns by viewing campaign performance statistics at the postal code level.
New Dynamic Location Insertion
Instead of manually creating ads that have the city or state name in it, you can now use the location insertion option to dynamically create these ads. So instead of making hundreds or thousands of ads, make one and use the syntax {lb.city:Local}. How does it work? Well, turn on the location extensions and then when you create ads insert that syntax. For example, "Find a {lb.city:Local} Store or Shop Online," a user viewing your ad in Chicago would see: "Find a Chicago Store or Shop Online."
To use location insertion in your ads, first enable location extensions for your campaign. Then, you'll add a tag, known as a parameter, to your ad text. When appropriate, they'll replace the parameter in your ad with information that matches the location extension. Google can detect location based on either where your customer is physically located or geographic locations that she may have shown interest in.
You can use location-specific parameters to dynamically replace the city name, postal code, and phone number. The parameters can be inserted into your ad title, text, display URL, and destination URL.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Animal Allies of WNY, a local animal rights organization, is known for its protests, but now the group itself is under scrutiny.
Morgan Dunbar, who founded the group, has made it her mission to force resignations from all the board members at the Niagara County SPCA, following a report about mismanagement at the non-profit. However, some of her tactics have been criticized, and some are calling into question her group's finances.
Hundreds of people showed up at Morgan's rally and protest on January 7 outside the animal shelter. Leanne Power and two other people told 2 On Your Side that they saw Morgan collect money.
"I saw her take cash," Powers said.
Morgan denied that.
"I think it's absolutely disgusting that (Leanne Powers) would blatantly lie about the fact that I took cash or checks or whatever it is she said I took from members of the public," she said.
Several of Morgan's friends and her mom contacted 2 On Your Side to defend her and say she never took money at the rally. In fact, they said they witnessed her turn away potential cash donations.
But Morgan admitted to taking one donation before the protest that actually came from Powers herself. It was a check for $350 written out to Morgan's mother, because Animal Allies of WNY had no checking account.
Morgan said it was a one-time thing, and she used the money to purchase sign materials. She ended up giving the money back when Leanne questioned her finances.
In an interview with 2 On Your Side, Morgan was adamant that she collected no other money.
"We do not solicit donations," she said.
But Morgan's Web site does ask for donations for what is called the "Drink For the Deer" campaign. The site says donations would pay for deer shields to put on the fences at the Williamsville Cemetery run by Forest Lawn.
The flyer on the site says donations can be directed to Morgan's email address or phone number.
Separately, Forest Lawn and M&T Banks have collected about $9,000 to date for the effort. Donations could be made online or at M&T branches.
Morgan says "Drink For the Deer" raised around $320. She said she collected that money and donated all of of it to an M&T bank; however, she did not get a receipt, because she said one wasn't offered.
The president of Forest Lawn said he had no idea that Morgan was running a side campaign until 2 On Your Side told him. He said he has no record of Morgan or Animal Allies of WNY donating anything to the deer shield campaign.
State records show Animal Allies of WNY is not a registered organization, so it is not subject to strict rules and regulations that non-profits must follow.
2 On Your Side's Michael Wooten asked, "Why not become a non-profit so that you would have the transparency in your group that you want to see out of the spca?"
"Well there's a number of reasons why I'm not at all interested in (non-profit) status," Morgan responded. "I'm an autonomous activist."
Another concern is that Morgan sells t-shirts, both at events and online without a license and without collecting any taxes. The shirts sell for $18 each.
"I spoke with the tax man that Leanne (Powers) and her buddies threw at me, and I told him, I said I'd be happy to get an (employee identification number). I've sold 20 t-shirts. That's a tax amount of less than $32."
Besides the finances, there have also been questions about the tactics of Animal Allies of WNY. Morgan has made it her stated goal to go after all the remaining SPCA board members, not letting up until they are all gone.
"It's ridiculous that this group of people is being left to continue to make decisions until May," Morgan said.
She and her members have protested at the board members' businesses. She rallied against Board President Brandy Scrufari just two days after his cousin was killed in an accident.
When asked if she should have delayed the protest, Morgan responded, "No, not at all!"
And then there are Morgan's many Facebook pages. Her critics say she and her members attack everyone who disagrees with them.
Former Town of Wheatfield Animal Control Officer Craig Schultz said that is keeping good people away.
"They think, 'Why should I get involved if all I'm going to do is get attacked?'" Schultz said. "The intimidation has to stop, no matter who it's from."
Morgan's also been criticized on social media for posting a video that she said her friend took at the shelter on Valentine's Day. The insinuation in the video was that the SPCA was killing animals and cremating their bodies during regular business hours.
However, that wasn't true. According to workers, volunteers and the interim executive director, the animals that were cremated that day were brought in from vet clinics after their owners had been forced to put them to sleep for health reasons. No euthanizations took place at the shelter that day.
2 On Your Side asked Dunbar, "Don't you have a responsibility to get all those details before you put such an inflammatory video online that people can misconstrue or get misinformation from?"
Morgan responded, "You know, what I think is very inflammatory and what is very just vindictive in nature is when people are going to the shelter to adopt an animal, and they are greeted with the stench of burning flesh."
Workers and volunteers disputed that, saying there was no smell from the incinerator that day.
Either way, since sitting down for the interview with Channel 2, Morgan and her group have cancelled several previously planned protests. She even met face-to-face with the interim executive director at the Niagara County SPCA.
The hope moving forward is that all sides can start working together for the animals.
"Absolutely, I am ready to take that step and start concentrating as much time (on helping) as I do on the investigative aspect," Dunbar said.
The biggest concern for everyone has been the threats made from both sides. Specifically, workers and volunteers at the SPCA said they have received death threats. Leanne Powers, who owns a pet grooming business, said her employees were threatened the day after Morgan posted her business name, address and phone number online. And employees at Dr. William Gerber's vet clinic said they have also been harassed and threatened.
Most people who spoke to 2 On Your Side for this report, either on the record or off, acknowledged Morgan's love of animals. She works around the clock for animal rights. But many have questioned her tactics.
Morgan says she will focus on improving the shelter. She is now a paying member of the Niagara County SPCA and will be involved as the organization chooses a new board of directors in May.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will use a technique called blink reflex to study and compare how the brain controls muscle movement in patients with craniofacial dystonia, their first-degree relatives, and healthy, normal volunteers. People with dystonia have sustained muscle contractions that cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. In focal dystonia, this happens in one area of the body, such as the hand, neck, or face.
Three groups of people may be eligible for this study: 1) patients 18 years of age and older with craniofacial dystonia; 2) first-degree relatives of patients with craniofacial dystonia; and 3) normal volunteers matched in age to the patients. Candidates are screened with physical and neurological examinations.
Participants undergo a blink reflex study. Patients with dystonia who are receiving botulinum toxin injections must stop the medication 3 months before participating in the study and must stop any other dystonia medications, such as benzodiazepines and anticholinergics, for 12 hours before the study. For the blink reflex procedure, subjects are seated in a comfortable chair with their hands placed on a pillow on their lap. Metal electrodes are taped to the forehead for delivering small electrical shocks that feel like very brief pinpricks. Subjects receive 25 to 50 electrical stimuli, some as single shocks and some in pairs. The electrical activity of muscles that respond to the stimuli is recorded with a computer. The study takes from about 1 to 2 hours.

The objective of this study is to evaluate paired-pulse inhibition of the three responses of the electrically elicited blink reflex (BR) and the eye blink rate (EBR)in patients with craniofacial dystonia and their first degree relatives in order to determine whether abnormalities of inhibition can represent a marker of genetic predisposition for the development of dystonia. It is unclear why some relatives of patients with craniofacial dystonia do not develop dystonic symptoms. One possible explanation is that the development of dystonia is a two-stage process: first, loss of inhibition, which may be genetically determined, and second, exposure to an environmental trigger such as excessive repetitive movements. There is good evidence that focal dystonia is a genetically determined disorder, but the responsible gene remains undetermined. Patients, their first degree relatives and normal volunteers will undergo BR testing using validated electrophysiological tests of recovery cycle. The main outcome measure of the study is impaired inhibition in up to 50% of first degree relatives of patients with focal dystonia which would serve as biologic marker for the carrier state. A second outcome measure is the EBR. In those individuals with this genetic marker of impaired inhibition, future linkage analysis studies could be performed to identify the causative gene.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Three groups of subjects shall be studied: 1) patients with craniofacial dystonia, 2) first degree relatives of patients with craniofacial dystonia, 3) age matched control group. The inclusion of the group of relatives will be valuable to study, as these individuals have shared similar environment backgrounds as patients but remain free of symptoms. Patients and their relatives 18 years or older will be enrolled through the Human Motor Control Clinic, NINDS, NIH under protocol 93-N-0202: "Diagnosis and Natural History Protocol for Patients with Different Neurological Conditions". Patients with dystonia, enrolled in Protocol 85-N-0195, "Efficacy and Pathophysiology of Botulinum Toxin for Treatment of Involuntary Movement Disorders' will also be eligible for participation in the study. Diagnosis of dystonia will rely on review of medical record, history, and clinical evaluation. Age matched volunteers over 18 years-old entered into the study must be free of neurological disease as determined by a standard physical and neurological examination.
Patients with idiopathic BSP or Meige-Syndrome (=BSP plus oromandibular dystonia), their first degree relatives and age matched volunteers
Age18 years or older
Eye blink rate at rest more than 27 per minute (patients only)
Patients, their first degree relatives and normal volunteers with any significant medical or psychiatric illness, pregnancy, history of epilepsy, concurrent use of tricyclic antidepressants, neuroleptic agents, or any other licit or illicit drug that could affect brainstem excitability will not be eligible for this study. Subjects who have a pacemaker, an implanted medication pump, metal objects inside the eye or skull (for example, after brain surgery or a shrapnel would) or any recent (less than 3 months) brain lesions will not be included in this study. Patients who have received botulinum toxin injection less than three months prior to the day of testing will also be excluded.
Other disease with involuntary blinking (Hemifacial spasm, Tic disorder, Tardive Dyskinesia, Blepharitis)
Taking the following medications: antidepressants, anxiolytics, anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, antiparkinson, hypnotics, stimulants, and/or antihistamines
Subject's objection to being videotaped while performing different activities
First degree relatives and age matched volunteers who are diagnosed with a neurological or psychiatric disease or medication that alter the blink frequency.

A little of this, a little of that …
A different type of circus has come to the intersection of George Washington Highway and Old River Road, the characteristics of this particular traveling company unlike the sights and sounds appearing beneath your garden-variety big top.
Sorry to disappoint the youngsters, but you won't find any elephants, flying acrobats or lion tamers here.
This finite brand of circus behavior tends to roam in large packs. Some afternoons, you can see the cavalcade march directly past Lincoln High School and the town's library. The procession will come to a halt at Chet Nichols Field, where the herd splinters off to find room behind the chain-link fence.
The tools of the trade help to distinguish this band of curious onlookers, or perhaps they are surveyors equipped with notepads and stopwatches with a few radar guns mixed in for good measure. Best to leave nothing to chance, after all.
"They" are scouts from Major League Baseball clubs, and "they" have come to acquire a first-person account of Lincoln senior Nick Zammarelli. The attention the 18-year-old has received has been by the bushel and lends credence to the idea that he will hear his name called during the annual MLB first-year player draft, set for June 6-8.
Just how highly regarded is Zammarelli, who last fall signed a letter of national intent to play at North Carolina's Elon University? Five teams dispatched representatives to Lincoln's non-league contest against Mount St. Charles. In the Lions' Division I opener against Bishop Hendricken, 10 scouts dropped anchor 90 minutes before first pitch to watch Zammarelli take batting practice with an additional 10 arriving at game time.
All told, Zammarelli is on the radar of 16 clubs, a high sum that rekindles the memories of the pre-draft buildup that once grabbed hold of Rocco Baldelli and Jay Rainville.
The seeds for Zammarelli's showcase spring were planted on the travel baseball circuit last summer, each stop yielding more and more reaction from prospective talent evaluators. In the wintertime, he worked out at indoor venues in Syracuse and Canton, Mass. for Tampa Bay and the New York Yankees, respectively.
Never in his wildest dreams did Zammarelli think that he would become the apple of so many eyes, though he probably has MLB Northeast Scouting Supervisor Pat Shortt to thank for that. In a nutshell, Shortt's job is to spread the word about a noteworthy talent to all 30 teams.
Games for the Lincoln Lions have taken on a showcase-esque tenor with regional scouts expressing enough confidence in Zammarelli's ability that national cross checkers are now starting to come around. Four teams – Tampa Bay, Toronto, Seattle and the Chicago Cubs – have sent people to the Zammarelli household to acquire a sense of what this potential draftee is like away from the diamond.
"I wouldn't have been surprised if there were one or two scouts, but I didn't think I would have this much interest," Zammarelli remarked. "Everything happened so quickly."
It's clear that the scouts mean business. During games, they will observe Zammarelli from the standpoint of how he interacts with his Lincoln coaches and teammates. Both groups have also been subjected to inquiries from scouts.
"Maturity with scouts is a big thing because there's always a risk of drafting a high-school athlete and not having him be ready." said Zammarelli. "They want to make sure everything is right."
After games, Zammarelli will take batting practice for those scouts who make it a point to stick around, ditching the aluminum in favor of a wooden bat. Undoubtedly, the observers are drawn to the left-hander's plate coverage and strike-zone recognition. As far as feedback, the scouts won't tip their hand in terms of projecting the round he figures to hear his name called.
"They tell me I have a nice, natural lefty swing," Zammarelli relayed. "With these guys, it's all about where they see me in three or four years. I guess the outlook is pretty good and why they keep coming back."
Several organizations have extended pre-draft invitations for Zammarelli to come work out at major-league stadiums. Given that he's got plenty of high school-related matters that still need tending to, the 12th grader finds himself in a delicate position where he may have to bypass said opportunities. Final decisions won't be made until consulting the same scouts who have been tracking his every move for close to a month now.
"We've just started our season, plus I have graduation coming up," Zammarelli pointed out.
Ultimately, Zammarelli will have a big choice to make, one revolving around whether to bypass college in order to get a jumpstart on his pro career. As for right now, this poised and mature teenager is enjoying the scrutiny and acclaim, understanding that like the circus, what he's experiencing is fleeting. Eventually, the scouts will pack up and leave town.
A few recruiting tidbits to pass along:
– North Smithfield senior linebacker Ryan Masnyk will continue his football career at Division II Assumption College. The Greyhounds announced Masnyk as part of their incoming freshmen class following the program's spring football game that took place earlier this month.
– Cumberland senior pitcher Dylan Boisclair has committed to Millersville University, a Division II school located in Central Pennsylvania. The starting center from Cumberland's Division II-winning boys' basketball squad, the 6-foot-5 Boisclair is seen as someone who will only get better in the coming years, this according to Millersville head coach Jon Shehan.
– Shea senior pitcher Bryan Quinlan has committed to Johnson & Wales University, where he will join two players with Pawtucket roots in Brad McParlin (Tolman graduate) and Ty Karalis (St. Raphael graduate). Both McParlin and Karalis are currently first-year players with the Wildcats.
– Dean College men's basketball head coach Rich Fazzi confirmed that his newest recruit, St. Raphael point guard Charles Correa, will focus on hoops and hoops alone at the Franklin, Mass. school. Correa also made waves as a football contributor at SRA.

Under scrutiny: the role that social media has played in the recent riots that have swept the UK.
Turns out Blackberry Messenger (BBM), a messaging app between blackberry users, was at the heart of how the word spread so far, so fast amongst Britain's youth. BBM is free, secure, and has a feature where a user can 'broadcast' a message to all their contacts at once.
37% of British teens have a Blackberry, so it's easy to see how messages like 'things are kicking off at xxxx' would spread virally, and whilst the mayhem was at its most heated, there was talk about suspending BBM services.
The question is, would suspending the messaging service have helped to prevent rioting and looters? Or would those intent on mayhem just switch to another messaging app to rally forces? What about those broadcasting the message to friends and family in order to stay safe and actually avoid the violence?
Twitter is another technology that was used during the rioting- but more notably for public good, as the account @riotcleanup helped pull people together to clean up their communities after the damage, organise donation drives and coordinate volunteers to help out at other local events.
Can the spread of information ever really be monitored or moderated? Should the goverment (or other bodies) have the power to pull a service if they feel the public is under threat? Many technologies can be used for good or to wreak havoc. Is any technology inherently bad?

"The Language of Mathematics" is a book that sets itself an ambitious task - to sum up all of mathematics. Clearly, the author does not intend to do this without omissions - mathematics is far too large a subject for that - rather, he hopes that the reader will come away with an understanding of what maths is and what mathematicians do and why.
In this book, Martin Gardner, best known for his columns on recreational maths in Scientific American and the many books collecting this material, surveys a wide range of mathematical magic. Many of the tricks described require little or no dexterity and nothing except readily available props, such as cards or dice, and so are suitable for the beginner.
John Haigh takes the above quote as the epigraph for "Taking Chances", and makes his own significant contribution to scientific literacy. He concerns himself with "games of chance" in the broadest sense, from the National Lottery, quiz shows, casino games and card, dice and coin games, through game-theoretic "games" such as military conflicts, to all types of sports.
This is one of the world's outstanding pedagogic texts. It has the rare distinction of being a mathematics book that has sold a million copies. The COMAP project is a coalition of leading mathematicians and educators, directed by Solomon Garfunkel, who over a period of twelve years and five ever-expanding editions have created a beautiful introduction to the practical applications of some of the most important areas of discrete mathematics.
Computers can do many things, but there are some things they can't do. They certainly can't play tennis or the violin, but those aren't the kinds of thing we're concerned with. There are computational questions, questions of the kind that we would naturally turn to a computer to help us with, that, in fact, they cannot answer (and nor, therefore, can we).
"The pleasure and interest of being a scientist need not be confined to those gifted people who have the ability to pursue the highly specialised studies which are necessary for those who would reach the main frontiers of scientific advance." G. I. Taylor, one of the great physicists of the twentieth century, among the last masters of both theory and experiment.

This is because you're not the adult child of an alcoholic; their priorities are often the opposite of what you'd expect. Money = empowerment, and for the ones that go hypo-responsible rather than hyper-responsible, empowerment is something they need to avoid at all costs. Because if you're helpless, then you can't be held responsible and punished.
Lack of executive function is a survival adaptation in a family like that. As long as you're stuck in that situation, you'll always be forced to see life in terms of finding ways to make everything not your fault. You will seek to gather a collection of problems that can't be solved, rather than to solve any of the problems you have, in order to protect yourself from what goes on in your crazy family.
The fact that you have siblings figuring out how to "take care" of you means they took the opposite, hyper-responsible course, which is just as self-destructive.

Hockey Night in KandaharShare Tweet
Earlier this year I got a call from a colleague of mine at Molson wondering if there was a good home from some extra Molson Canadian hockey sticks and jerseys. I thought PERFECT! – last year Molson sponsored a hockey team in Kandahar and I figured they would absolutely need some new sticks this year. After some emails back and forth with my contact, I was put in touch with Major Tim Hogan in Kandahar and together we were able to coordinate a shipment of sticks and jerseys to be used for their ball hockey league.
A couple weeks later, Tim surprised me with some news that they had very special guests at their base – The Minister of National Defence Peter McKay, Minister of Industry Tony Clement and Senator Pamela Wallin were there along with some families of soldiers who died while serving. The guests joined in the game and Tim was kind enough to send over some photos for me to share on our blog!
We created a "Hockey Night in Kandahar banner" which will go up in New Canada House over the TV so the guys can see it when they are watching hockey
Master Warrant Officer Marshall Dumont with the Peter Mckay, Minister of National Defence (who I hear had a hat-trick!)
Canadian soldiers and next of kin of soldiers with the Olympic torch which the Minister of National Defense brought over.
Again, thank you to Tim for the photos and to all the brave men and women across the world representing Canada. Cheers to you.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
The Carbon High School soccer team headed to Delta Wednesday for a show down with the Rabbits. The Rabbits ran away with the 12-1 game.
Delta scored six goals each period of play to dominate the Dinos. Leo Yu was the lone scorer for the low-scoring Dino squad.
On Friday, the Dinos were back in their own back yard to take on the Red Devils from Grand High School. Carbon had a bit of confidence since the team had played Grand earlier this year.
Carbon had control of the ball most of the first half of play, but Grand's offensive players made the most of their limited opportunities with the ball and punched it past goalie Jake Malone twice.
Before the half ended Nathaniel Woodward zipped one into the net to help Carbon back in the game. Malone made several good stops as Grand attempted to score again before the break.
Woodward tied up the game in the second half of play. It looked like Carbon may have its second tie of the season when in the final minutes of the game Grand shot one more into the net and stole the victory.

Why Meditation?
There is over 3,000 scientific studies on the positive effects of meditation.
It may make you happier.
The practice helps you to cultivate more positive states of mind; if you're happy you will do better in every area of your life. Emotions are contagious, and when you're happy you spread that feeling to everyone around you.
There's evidence that it strengthens the brain.
A study done at UCLA suggest that meditation actually strengthens the brain in a good way. Studies like this are pointing to the fact that meditation is literally a workout for the brain. How about right before you do your sit-ups, you incorporate some meditation to strengthen the brain?
It may help you focus at work.
Our hectic, technology-filled lifestyle is talking all of our attention; we're constantly checking emails, Facebook updates, and our Twitter accounts. A new study suggested that meditation may make you more focused at work.
It could make you a more compassionate person.
Meditation helps you to calm down by centering your focus on your breathing and the sensations in your body. It also helps you recognize positive emotions within your own body, and to use those emotions to act more compassionate toward others. A new study from Northeastern University and Harvard University researchers showed that people who meditated acted more compassionate afterward than those who did not meditate.
It may help you lose weight.
Mindfulness is a way to pay attention to the all the sensations you're experiencing. When you do meditation while you're eating, you become more conscious of what you're putting in your mouth.
It may relieve stress.
A study in the journal Health Psychology showed that mindfulness decreased levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This is something everyone in American could use, considering stress has literally become an epidemic here.
It may help you do better in school.
A new study done in the journal Mindfulness showed that meditation improved the test scores of students in a psychology class. Some of the students meditated before the lecture, and another group did not. After the lecture, the ones who meditated did better. Want your kids to do better in class — why not show them how to meditate?
It's been shown to help people stay focused in high-stress environments.
When we get stressed, it attacks are focus, we can't concentrate. If we can't concentrate, we can't get things done. This happens to everyone who experiences stress — why not give meditation a try?
It positively changes the brain, even when you're not meditating.
A new study has indicated that by participating in an eight-week meditation program, you can potentially change how the brain works even when you're not meditating. The brain is just like a muscle you work out at the gym: If you do meditation every day, it's going to positively influence your life.
It may help protect against colds.
A study done at the University of Wisconsin-Madison showed that people who practiced mindfulness meditation or engage in physical exercise suffered less from colds than those who did not.
It may improve sleep quality.
A One meditation study is showing that it may improve our quality of sleep. Why not try some before you go to bed?
Why Athletes Should Meditate
It doesn't matter what sport you play, any athlete can benefit from the positive benefits of meditation. Meditation research on athletic performance is still very much in its infancy. However, meditation has been shown to help in other areas that could relate to athletic performance.
Every professional coach in the world should be looking at the thousands of studies that have shown the effectiveness of meditation. Phil Jackson, one of the all-time winning coaches in the NBA, has been using meditation for years with his players — he won 11 NBA championships.
Here are a few reasons why every athlete should consider the practice.
It may helps you focus.
Your focus will determine if you win or lose a game. When you're at the free throw line, and you're not focused, you may miss the shot. Why not train your mind to focus? Meditation has been shown to increase states of focus within the brain. Every athlete, no matter what sport they are playing, could work on bettering their focus.
Its been shown to help people cope with pain.
There's an old cliché around professional athletes that no matter what, they're always dealing with some sort of pain. High endurance sports do a number to your body. Meditation has been shown to help people cope with pain.
It may help you deal with fear.
Fears can hijack our minds from the present moment; this can lead to so many errors in sports. Meditation has been shown to help calm the fear center of the brain known as the amygdala even when you're not meditating. This information alone is worth millions of dollars to a professional athlete.
It may strengthen your immune system.
An athlete cannot afford to be sick; if they're sick they can't play. Athletes are always looking at various ways to avoid becoming sick, why not trying meditation? Meditation has been shown to strengthen our immune system.
It's been shown to help people become more resilient.
The greatest athletes in the world are the most resilient; meditation has been shown to help out in this area. Everyone knows you have to fail over and over again until you succeed. Meditation helps you detach yourself from the negative thoughts that keep you from achieving your goals.

|I had an evening commitment, so vanman and I got a 5 am start, and in just under 12 hours climbed S Thunder and Bighorn Peak. The mountain was still snowy even on south aspects above ~9500' and we hardly had to walk on any talus. South Thunder was a very nice snow climb, and has some of the best views in the Wasatch. We had some decent glissading too. There was a mountain goat on the summit as we approached.

|Beatout nightmare
|Hit this peak after Phiefferhorn on the beatout trail. Was looking to descend via Bell's Canyon, but followed the wrong cairn trail (duh!) and ended up passing Hardy and down into Alpine. Had to hitchhike home to SLC. Not fun considering how much the folks in Alpine are willing to help a guy in full climbing gear staggering down the highway. I must have looked like one of those murderous lost hikers you always here about. On that note, a messege to all good hearted citizens: If you see a guy wearing a backback and climbing gear wandering around in the flats looking lost, he is not likely a bum. He is more likely a lost hiker in need of some assistance. So get over your paranoia and help the poor guy out! The trip, by the way, was outstanding except for that last part.

COWICHE -- Claims of sexual harassment and retaliation have led to federal charges against Evans Fruit. KIMA Action News discovered the allegations are so strong, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission placed the Cowiche business under a temporary restraining order. Three supervisors are accused of propositioning and groping the women.
A district court judge ordered Evans Fruit to stop all retaliatory activity against anyone involved in a sexual harassment lawsuit against the company. In a rare move, The EEOC asked for the restraining order after the alleged victims and some witnesses claimed they were offered money, favors or even threatened by managers to keep their mouths shut.
More than half a dozen women say three Evans Fruit supervisors singled them out for sex. One woman claims her teenage daughter was even harassed. The alleged sexual harassment happened at Evans' orchard in Sunnyside. It's also documented in these court papers and the TRO here. And some of what KIMA found was shocking.
One woman claims supervisor Juan Marin said the worker should give her 16 year old daughter to Marin for sex. Another said Marin would hold her hand while telling her he would pay her rent or buy her a car is she slept with him. The most shocking complaint implies Marin offered to buy another woman's infant son, offering her thousands of dollars on three different occasions.
The EEOC said the sexual harassment was so wide spread, it became a condition of employment for the women.
Luis Lucero, EEOC field office director said, "In this case, it looked like it was happening almost on a daily basis. People were expected to respond to those sexual advances in order to keep their jobs."
The EEOC also said Evans never provided training or policy information to these women or other employees on sexual harassment and how to report it.
EEOC attorney May Che says, "Workers who are from immigrant populations that don't necessarily, are not aware of laws in place to protect them from this type of conduct."
An effort to negotiate with Evans on the charges fell apart when the company refused to pay the victims a quote, "ridiculous amount of money" to settle.
As for allegations Evans was attempting to scare witnesses into keeping quiet, the company's lawyer told KIMA that was "ridiculous," and that no one was in "imminent danger".
A court date has been set for August, at which time a judge will make that decision.
KIMA also met with Evan's corporate attorney, Brendon Monahan, but he refused to speak on camera. He told me the company would have more to say after the hearing in August.
The EEOC says the company is liable for the alleged harassment because those accused are supervisors who answer only to the owners.

What determines the importance of fairness, particularly to strangers? There are no incentives to play fair when dealing with people we don't know, aren't related to, and will never interact with again. Evolutionary psychologist might point to carryover effects of living in smaller communities in our distant past. A recent study led by Joseph Henrich hopes to clarify the issue postulating that there is more to it than simply inheriting fairness attitudes. The research team implemented a Social Dilemma like game called Dictator and administered it to a wide variety of populations. They found that modern living Missourians were most likely to share while hunter-gatherer societies, such as those in the Serengeti or the Amazon, were less likely to do so. One might think that these smaller communities would foster a greater sense of social responsibility and be more willing to share but the researchers point out that while there are clear rules and norms for sharing among kin or ingroup members, a sense of responsibility to the other may be absent when dealing with strangers. Practices and norms emphasizing fairness to strangers have developed in other societies and this research points to "market integration" as a possible explanation as this factor was the strongest predictor of fairness attitudes. Market integration was operationalized as the amount of food purchased. In communities where food is hunted, found, or grown people are less likely and willing to share with strangers. But when food is purchased it makes sense that systems would need to develop where strangers (consumers and sellers) can trust one another. The consumer market can't function is everyone acts selfishly and treats others as if they will act the same. Oddly enough it seems that trust and fairness develop in some cases because they are economically advantageous.

Bart Scott Unlikely to Play
One of the big questions of the second half will be what the linebacker makeup looks like for this team. Bart Scott has been hobbled by a toe injury and he might not be able to play this weekend again, but according to Jane McManus, Scott will travel with the team.
Bart Scott will travel to Seattle, but he is not sure whether he will be cleared to play with the turf toe that ended his streak of 119 consecutive games played.
Scott would prefer to play, but the Jets trainers want to see how much his toe swells after two straight days of practicing in a limited capacity. He will be on site either way.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comPlaying a tough customer like Marshawn Lynch and Scott's unlikelihood activation is all the more reason why the Jets activated Ricky Sapp. They're going to need as many linebackers as possible this weekend.
Scott's been a big part of this defense since Rex Ryan came aboard, but with his contract situation this year, the Jets were going to play him as much as it made sense to, since they were paying him one way or another. Scott has had trouble keeping up on the field at points this year. Getting off his blocks, attacking the line of scrimmage and stuffing plays haven't come with their normal regularity that we saw in his first two years. So his injury provides the team a reason to rest him for other players. At it's most ruthless, the cost of replacing him on the field isn't as painful as it would have been two years ago. I do think that Scott will return to the field for the Jets at points this season, but there's less and less reason for him to play through his injuries based on some of his performances that we were seeing while he was on it.

Just a stone's throw from London, with a selection of attractive Roman, medieval and Victorian cities, towns and villages and a healthy business sector of its own, it's no wonder so many people are fleeing the capital in favour of Hertfordshire.
Employment opportunities
Being so close to London but without London land prices means many major companies are moving their headquarters out to Hertfordshire, for example Tesco is based in Cheshunt, whilst JD Wetherspoon is in Watford. The region has a large concentration of pharmaceutical companies as well as research and technology businesses. However, the largest employment sector is the service industry.
Hertfordshire has 73 state secondary schools as well as 26 independent schools that attract many families out of the capital. The University of Hertfordshire is a growing, new university specialising in business, law, science and technology. It was awarded the title of 'Entrepreneurial University of the Year' in 2010 by Times Higher Education.
The M1, M11, A1(M) and M25 all traverse the county. Rail routes are also numerous into both London and heading north to Cambridge and York. Even the London Underground extends into the county at Watford.
