By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
Some East Carbon residents have banded to improve the community and presented the plan to the city council on Tuesday.
"Our group is composed of many members of the community including private citizens, leaders, youth and religious figures," said Liz Ferguson, the spokesman for the development coalition. "We want to examine all the risk factors that exist in our community, conduct studies and make recommendations to the city council on those matters. Many of the issues that affect us here have been going on for years and we need to work on them."
Ferguson said the top two priorities of the group are finding ways to reduce substance abuse in the community, both in youth and adults, and to beautify the town.
"There are a lot of questions from our group about what can be done concerning substance abuse and the dealing of drugs in our town," stated the spokeswoman. "There are many rumors like the one that says there are not enough funds for the police to act on known suspects. People also want to know why some people are known to be dealers but no action is taken and they continue to do business here."
Councilwoman Darlene Kuhns, acting as mayor for the evening with Dale Andrews on vacation, told the group that the council and the police are concerned about drugs and that the city will be getting another officer in December which will help in the fight. But she also said there is a lot more to it than that.
"When it comes to drug dealers, saying that they are dealing and proving they are are two different things," stated Kuhns. "I wonder if the drug task force in Price could help us with this problem?"
Councilman Dave Maggio said that the dealers have been very hard to catch.
"To make it stick the police much catch them in a purchase," he said. "Besides I see the problem is more than just methamphetamines. Abuse of prescription drugs is also a big problem in our town."
The group then asked what they could do to help.
"It takes everyone," said Councilwoman Darma Lopez. "The police have to have evidence. Everyone needs to start watching and to start to mark down times they see things, license numbers, etc."
The council asked East Carbon Police Officer Steve Boyer who was present at the meeting to talk to the group about the situation and he responded with some advice to the group.
"All you have to do is to start to write it down and give it to us, but remember there is some risk in this," he told the nearly 50 people who had showed up for the meeting. "Drug dealers will not be happy about this and they have a lot of bad friends. However the only way we can control this problem is for citizens to get involved."
Boyer also said that the department knows that a lot of problems are occurring, however they have been frustrated in their efforts to enforce the law by the fact that people say others are selling drugs, but there is no evidence or testimony to back up the claims when push comes to shove.
"I understand people's fears about doing this but we must have citizens testify if we are going to do anything about it," said Boyer. "Be in the street, watch what's going on and report it. But remember too that you may end up ratting out people you know, people that are your friends, because some of them are involved."
One citizen suggested starting a neighborhood watch in town. The group committed to help start a watch to work on the problem and give the police department support.
A second topic of conversation became the beautification of the town.
Complaints have come from residents to the council in the past about run down houses, yards with weeds and junk out of control and abandoned structures.
The members said the group wants to help do something about those things.
"The way we look at it, the city and our group must be a team to work on this problem," stated Ferguson.
Kuhn said that everyone on the council is concerned about the way some of the homes in the community look and have been doing everything within their power to force people to clean up their residences.
"However, understand there are things we cannot do," she said. "It would be wonderful if we had ordinances that regulate everything but even with what we have, when we enforce them, we get taken to court by those that own the property. Then the situation gets dragged out."
Maggio explained to the group that there are a number of ways to attack the problem, but they all have drawbacks, the largest one being that the situations often become very expensive for the city.
"Once ticketed we can take people before a judge which is a Class B Misdemeanor and a $999 fine," said Maggio. "We can also hire someone to fix up and clean up the messes, and attach the bill to their taxes if they don't pay for the services. If they don't pay their taxes we can place a lien against their property, but to be honest the last time we did that it cost the city much more than the house was worth. The question on all of this is if we can recoup our costs. Our town can't afford to do too many of these kinds of things."
Maggio also said by his estimation the vast majority of the problems in the town are homes and buildings owned by absentee landlords or houses that have renters in them.
Ferguson said that the group had already begun work in the community on the weed and garbage situation in some areas.
"We cleaned up a lot by the drive-in that had a lot of weeds and we also went down to the rest stop at Sunnyside Junction and cleaned that up last week," she said. "We want to organize to do more of this and we want to invite everyone to come and help."
Someone in the audience suggested that the coalition offer to help clean up private property of people who can't do it, like the elderly or those that are incapacitated.
Eleanor Griggs suggested that many people may not know about the ordinances and that every residence in the community should be given a copy. She also wondered how many citations have been written up since the last meeting of the council. The council members stated that they didn't know off hand, but that they could check with Chief of Police Sam Leonard.
The problem of junk cars in yards was also under discussion once again. There was some disagreement over what constituted a junk car and many in the audience wanted the council to clarify that definition. Tentatively it was established that a vehicle is a junk car if it is not licensed and hasn't been moved for a year.
During the waning moments of the meeting many in the audience expressed their views on cleaning up the city and helping in every way they could. Some also talked about other situations the coalition and city could help out with.
"When I was a kid and rode the bus to school from up here, East Carbon was just a bunch of sage brush and Sunnyside and Columbia were the prettiest little towns around," said Earl Gunderson. "I think it is time to take back our town, clean it up and fix it up."
The assembled group broke out in applause at that statement.
The coalition also announced during the meeting that they will be having another meeting for anyone who wishes to attend on Oct. 25 at 6:30 pm in the ABC Learning Center in East Carbon.
This Saturday, Oct. 16 the group will also be holding a community party and barbecue at the old shopping center in the middle of town. That celebration will begin at noon. All residents of East Carbon are invited to attend.

MASSENA - The Potsdam Central varsity baseball team relayed the momentum of a fast start into a 7-4 NAC Central Division win on the road over Massena on Wednesday.
Trevor Keleher rapped a two-run homerun and a single for Potsdam which scored five runs in the first two innings against Massenas Rory Corcoran who settled down to allow just one more run while striking out 11 in six innings.
After yielding four runs on three hits in the third inning Potsdam righthander Will Coleman cruised to a 17-strikeout three-hitter as the Sandstoners lifted their NAC Central record to 7-1.
Coleman (RBI) and Mark Maroney doubled and singled and Ben Miller singled twice.
Massenas three hits came in the third inning where Jeremiah Reagen singled and Connor Paquin and Zack Russaw lined two-run doubles.
Connor Prosper and Zach Snyder added singles to the Potsdam cause.
We finally competed at the level that we are capable of, today. That was great to see because they have worked very hard said Massena Coach Greg Paquin. John Coleman threw extremely hard today for Potsdam.
The Sandstoners are slated to host a doubleheader against Gouverneur on Friday at 3:30 p.m. while the Raiders head to Malone this afternoon to take on Franklin Academy starting at 4:30 p.m.
In the other NAC Central baseball matchups on Wednesday, FA swept a pair against Salmon River by scores of 12-1 and 17-3 while Canton against Gouverneur was suspended due to the weather.
FA 12-17, Salmon River 1-3: The Huskies scored all 12 of the game-one runs in the first three innings, pushing five runs across in the first, adding four in the second and three in the third.
FA starter Austin Lamay tossed the first four inning with Abe Gravell on the mound for the final inning. The Malone duo combined to allow just four singles off the Salmon River bats with four strikouts and two walks.
Salmon River countered with the Gray boys, with Jarid opening up the contest on the hill with cousin Bert taking over in the fourth inning. They combined for three strikeouts, one walk and hit one FA batter.
Alex Johnson paced the Huskies at the plate with three hits, two singles and a double, and drove in a pair of runs as Blayke Lewis singled and homered for FA.
Lamay singled in a pair of runs while Brandon Welch singled and doubled. Shawn Mulverhill and Jake Perry both stroked a double while Devon Monette and Kody Mulverhill added two hits each to the game one victory. Jordan Yando chipped in with a single.
Bert Gray, Devin LaPage, Antoine Domino and Marc Mainville had a single each for SRC in the opener.
Things didnt get any better for the Shamrocks in the second game of the day at FA, as the Malone team erupted for 11 runs in the second inning to break a 2-all tie and cruise to the sweep.
Alex Johnson went the distance for the Huskies on the mound while SRC Coach Ben Barkley used four pitchers in the attempt to shut down the FA bats. Devin LaPage opened the game on the hill for SRC with Tyler Brooks, Justin Bigness and Antoine Domino taking their turns in the second, third and fourth innings, respectively.
Shawn Mulverhill paced the eight-hit FA offense with a pair of singles while Devon Monette popped his second two-bagger of the day. Solo hits, all singles, came off the bats of Johnson, Welch, Perry, Jake Henning and Jon Brown.
Jarid Gray singled and doubled in the game two setback while singles came off the bats of Domino, Bigness and Quinton Wilson.
And to make matters worse for the Shamrocks, it appeared that Bert Gray collected an inside-the-park home run, but missed home plate as he came around to score and was called out by the home plate umpire, resulting in a triple in the books.
The two victories improves the FA record to 6-1 in league play (8-2 overall) while SRC falls to 1-6 in the league (1-8 overall) and is slated to play at Gouverneur this afternoon.

Quick: what's the best, most exhilarating opening to a rock record ever? Not the song. Just the opening—the first few seconds, whether a majestic welcome or sonic punch in the gut.
Some think it's the first note of The Stooges' Fun House. Nevermind is too obvious. There's a convincing case to be made for The Jesus Lizard's Liar album. I prefer the quiet dread of PJ Harvey's Rid Of Me.
But the best, the unimpeachable album intro to retire all album intros, is the opening passage of Sleater-Kinney's would-be final album, The Woods.

Depending on your height, you are probably used to looking up or down at people to talk to them. But what would happen if you turned up at a party and found everybody was exactly the same height? That is the idea artist Hans Hemmert had when he threw a 'Same Height Party' to photograph for a German art exhibition, as seen above. While Hemmert's photographs are actually from a 1997 exhibit, they lived in relative artistic obscurity until they made their way on social media sites last year.
"Below Average" Height Celebs with "Well Above Average" Success
The typical Hollywood A-lister is 6ft+ with a dazzling white smile and a finely honed body - unrepresentative of the rest of the population, but an ideal many men strive for nonetheless. So what about those unconventional Hollywood heart throbs who have found success and fame while looking up to many of their peers? We take a look at some of the most famous men on the planet who have made a success of themselves - with or without those few extra inches…
When Small Men Make Big Leaders: Why Height Matters When it Comes to World Leaders
Our stereotypes about height pervade group thinking and popular culture, so much so that it actually affects the kind of leaders we choose. Taller men supposedly reap many benefits, one of which is that they are seen as more capable leaders. However when one looks at the data on the height of world leaders, there are many short surprises.
Height Around the World: Why European are Outgrowing the Americans
It might seem strange to some that there are scientists and historians whose primary focus is human height, but what might seem a rather banal subject at first is fascinating in the details.

A-grow-bics: A Shortcut to Height or Simply Tall Tales?
Adding inches to your height by exercising sounds like a tall story to some, but one London gym is so confident in its 'A-Grow-Bics' class that it is putting its money where its mouth is. The Farringdon branch of the London gym chain GymBox has developed a new exercise regime with fitness trainer Pierre Pozzuto that guarantees you will grow at least 2cm in 6 weeks or you get your money back.

Why Adding Inches Can Improve Your Career
Height is inextricably linked in our subconscious to power, and therefore it is unsurprising that taller people tend to do better in business. By almost all measurements, taller people rise higher in business, earn more money and progress further in their careers. The question at hand is why do taller people (especially men) have an advantage and does adding inches to your own frame help you reap those same benefits?
5 Common Sense Ways for Men to Appear Taller
Taller people enjoy many proven benefits in life including better relationships, better salaries and better self-confidence. It is not surprising therefore that many people who are not naturally gifted with height look for ways to artificially add inches to their body. While women can simply don a pair of heels, men have to resort to subtler arts to try to increase their perceived height better than just buying height increasing shoes.

Leg Pain
Leg Pain Overview
Patient Comments Read 16 Comments
While leg pain is a common occurrence after an injury, pain can also occur because of medical conditions or nontraumatic reasons. Pain in the legs may be due to injury or inflammation of any of the structures that are found in the leg, including bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves, and skin. Inflammation of tissues is usually the cause of pain. Pain can also radiate from other parts of the body and be felt in the leg. Back ailments can cause pain and numbness of the leg. Abdominal aorta and iliac artery aneurysms can also present with leg pain. blood clot in the large veins located in the abdomen are a further cause of leg symptoms.
Anatomy of the Leg
The structure of the leg begins with the skeleton. The large bones of the leg are the femur (thighbone) and the tibia and fibula of the shin. Smaller bones are found in the feet and toes. The patella (kneecap) is located in front of the knee joint where the femur and tibia meet. Major joints include the hip, knee, and ankle, but the small joints in the feet and toes also are important since they help support the body and cushion the force that is generated by walking and running.
The joints are stabilized by thick bands of tissue called ligaments. The ends of a bone that make up part of a joint are covered with cartilage to help them glide through their range of motion and decrease the friction of bone rubbing on bone.
Muscles attach to bone and have tendons that stretch across a joint. When a muscle contracts, the joint moves. Major muscle groups that affect leg movement include the buttocks, the quadriceps (in the front of the thigh), the hamstrings (in the back of the thigh), and the gastrocnemius (in the back of the calf). There are other smaller muscles, including those in the foot, that help stabilize the multiple joints in the feet.
There are two sets of blood vessels in the leg. The arterial system delivers blood, rich with oxygen, from the heart. The aorta leaves the heart and descends into the abdomen, divides into the iliac arteries and further splits into the femoral arteries at the level of the groin. The femoral artery runs along the back of the femur, and at the back of the knee (the popliteal fossa) it begins branching into smaller and smaller arteries to supply the lower leg, feet, and toes with blood.
The venous system drains blood from the leg and returns it to the heart, allowing tissue like muscle to get rid of carbon dioxide and other waste products of metabolism. There are two sets of veins in the leg, the superficial and deep venous systems. The superficial system runs along the skin while the deep system is located deep within the muscles and along the bones. Blood drains from the superficial system to the deep system through connecting veins called perforators that prevent blood clots that occur on the surface from entering the deep vein system. The superficial and deep systems come together in the groin to form the femoral vein.
Nerves from the spinal cord supply information to the leg, transmitting signals from the brain that allow purposeful movement. They also return information or sensations to the brain. These include the sensations of pain, light touch, pressure, temperature, and position. As well, nerve impulses can flow from the legs to the spinal cord and back without going up into the brain. These nerve loops allow the health care professional to test deep tendon reflexes (when the knee or ankle are tapped with a hammer) to assess spinal cord function.
Illness and injury can affect any of these structures, causing inflammation, discomfort, and pain. More than one mechanism as a cause of the leg pain may occur at the same time. Some examples include the following:

With the impending US elections upon us once again it seems everyone is writing about what John McCain and Barack Obama are doing on the campaign trail. You hear all sorts of stories about the main issues. Well as a website devoted to everything cell phone we feel that our readers want to know what their leaders are using on the campaign trail. Do the leaders even use cell phones? If so which one? Who's their provider? At The Insider we want to answer these questions and more.
The big news recently, at least cell phone related, on the campaign trail recently was John McCain's, well his aides claim actually, that he helped invent the Blackberry. The actual words were said by Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a top McCain policy adviser, waving his BlackBerry around and talking about McCain's work as a senator, telling reporters September 16, 2008, "You're looking at the miracle that John McCain helped create."
Now although everyone knows he didn't help create the Blackberry John McCain has been seen using both a Blackberry and a standard cell phone on the campaign trail. What we want to know is what Blackberry does Mr. McCain use? Is it a Bold? Is it a Curve? What about the lovely Pearl? Before we reveal the answer we want to hear from you our readers.
Which Blackberry do you think John McCain uses? We will reveal the answer on Thursday October 16, 2008. In the meantime if you need some help check out our Blackberry page for the list of Blackberry phones. You can find the page here

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
- The purpose of this study is to identify changes in genes that cause human diseases. We would like to obtain some of you or your child s DNA and test for changes in genes that may contribute to a disease in you or your family.
-To allow for exomic or genomic sequencing of NICHD patients or family members in order to identify changes in genes that cause or contribute to a specific disease.
- Children who are enrolled in an NICHD clinical study where the condition being studied may have a genetic cause.
- Family members of a child who is eligible for this study.
- Children and family members will supply DNA samples. If the samples are already available, no further DNA will be needed.
- If DNA is not available, samples of either blood or skin will be taken.
- We will use these samples with new DNA sequencing technology that looks at all the human genes we know about. This is known as exome and genome sequencing.
Genetic Diseases
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Next Generation Sequencing to Identify Genetic Causes of Disease in Patients Participating in NICHD Clinical Protocols
- Gene Mutations
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|June 2011
Over the last few years advancements in DNA sequencing technology have progressed significantly. It now is feasible and economical to sequence the exome (known genes) or the entire genome. This technological advance can be applied to identifying genetic causes of rare diseases where traditional methods such as mapping frequently failed due to insufficient number of cases. These cases often present themselves in the context of other NICHD research protocols, such as teaching protocols, where it would not be efficient for the individual investigators to write a new protocol. It will also serve to standardize the consent document across NICHD for investigators that do not include exomic/genomic sequencing in their own protocol.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- Proband s that are enrolled in an NICHD clinical protocol for which there is a suspicion of an underlying genetic cause for a disease for which they are being evaluated.
- Family members of a proband who is eligible for this protocol.
1. Normal volunteers unrelated to a proband with the disease of interest.

Historical and Revision Notes
1948 Act
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§ 600, 600a, 600b, 608, andsections 11–1512 and 11–1513 of the D.C. Code, 1940 ed., (R.S. §§ 236, 323; Apr. 26, 1926, ch. 183, §§ 1, 2,44 Stat. 323; May 17, 1932, ch. 190, 47 Stat. 158; Oct. 13, 1941, ch. 431, § 2,55 Stat. 736).
Section consolidates section 600 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., and sections 11–1512 and 11–1513 of the D.C. Code, 1940 ed., with part of section 608 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed. The remainder of such section 608, relating to payment of witnesses' compensation, is the basis of section 1825 of this title.
Words "place of service" were substituted for references to attendance at court, in view of the earlier reference to service before commissioners.
The Advisory Committee to the House Committee on Revision of the Laws in revision of this title, recommends a careful study of the compensation of witnesses and jurors. Furthermore, provision should be made for the subsistence of jurors and witnesses serving at such distance from their homes as precludes daily travel to and from the court.

First trimester screening is a prenatal test that offers early information about a baby's risk of certain chromosomal conditions — Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18).
First trimester screening has two steps:
Typically, first trimester screening is done between weeks 11 and 14 of pregnancy — although a form of the screening can be done as early as nine weeks.
Using your age and the results of the blood test and the ultrasound, your health care provider can gauge your risk of carrying a baby who has Down syndrome or Edwards syndrome.
If your risk level is low, first trimester screening can offer reassurance of a healthy pregnancy.
If your risk level is moderate or high, you might choose to follow first trimester screening with another test that's more definitive.
First trimester screening is done to evaluate your risk of carrying a baby who has Down syndrome. The test also provides information about the risk of Edwards syndrome.
Down syndrome causes lifelong impairments in mental and social development, as well as various physical concerns. Edwards syndrome causes more severe delays and is often fatal by age 1.
First trimester screening doesn't evaluate the risk of neural tube defects, such as spina bifida.
Because first trimester screening can be done earlier than most other prenatal screening tests, you'll have the results early in your pregnancy. This will give you more time to make decisions about further diagnostic tests, medical treatment and the course of the pregnancy. If your baby is diagnosed with Down syndrome, you'll also have more time to prepare for the possibility of caring for a child who has special needs.
Other screening tests can be done later in pregnancy.
An example is the quad screen, a blood test that's typically done between weeks 15 and 20 of pregnancy. The quad screen can evaluate your risk of carrying a baby who has Down syndrome or Edwards syndrome, as well as neural tube defects, such as spina bifida.
Some health care providers choose to combine the results of first trimester screening with the quad screen — although you won't learn the final results until both tests are completed and analyzed.
Remember, first trimester screening is optional. Test results only indicate whether you have an increased risk of carrying a baby who has Down syndrome or Edwards syndrome, not whether your baby actually has one of these conditions.
Before the screening, think about what the results will mean to you. Consider whether the screening will be worth any anxiety it might cause, or whether you'll handle your pregnancy differently depending on the results.
You might also consider what level of risk would be enough for you to choose a more invasive follow-up test.
First trimester screening is a routine prenatal screening test. The test poses no risk of miscarriage or other pregnancy complications.
You don't need to do anything special to prepare for first trimester screening. You can eat and drink normally before both the blood test and the ultrasound exam.
First trimester screening includes a blood test and an ultrasound exam.
During the blood test, a member of your health care team takes a sample of blood by inserting a needle into a vein in your arm. The blood sample is sent to a lab for analysis. You can return to your usual activities immediately.
For the ultrasound exam, you'll lie on your back on an exam table. Your health care provider or an ultrasound technician will place a slender, wand-like device in your vagina to send out sound waves and gather the reflections. The reflected sound waves will be digitally converted into images on a monitor. Your health care provider or technician will use these images to measure the size of the clear space in the tissue at the back of your baby's neck.
The ultrasound might take up to an hour. It doesn't hurt, and you can return to your usual activities immediately.
Test results are typically available in less than a week.
Your health care provider will use your age and the results of the blood test and ultrasound exam to gauge your risk of carrying a baby who has Down syndrome or Edwards syndrome. Other factors — such as your personal or family health history — also might affect your risk.
First trimester screening results are given as positive or negative and also as a probability, such as a 1 in 5,000 risk of carrying a baby who has Down syndrome. Generally, the test is considered positive if the risk is 1 in 300 or higher.
First trimester screening correctly identifies about 85 percent of women who are carrying a baby who has Down syndrome. About 5 percent of women have a false-positive result, meaning that the test result is positive but the baby doesn't actually have Down syndrome.
When you consider your test results, remember that first trimester screening only indicates your overall risk of carrying a baby who has Down syndrome or Edwards syndrome. A low-risk result doesn't guarantee that your baby won't have one of these conditions. Likewise, a high-risk result doesn't guarantee that your baby will be born with one of these conditions.
Often, positive test results are an invitation to consider secondary testing. For example:
Your health care provider or a genetic counselor will help you understand your test results and what the results mean for your pregnancy.
