Intelligent Systems Lab (ISL)
Dr. Gondy Leroy - Director
The goal of ISL is to develop and evaluate information systems that are user-friendly, dynamic, and learn from and for the user. Our intellectual goal is to find out what these systems require and why. We envision a world where computer and information systems partner with their human users. The two parties will communicate, anticipate each other's needs and wishes, and act accordingly. To this end, we work on different algorithms that deal with language, knowledge, computation, and visualization. Our research efforts, funded by NSF, NIH and Microsoft, are interdisciplinary as we frequently collaborate with different sciences and interest groups in order to maximize positive outcomes.

Utah Second District Congressman Jim Matheson sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar stating in no uncertain terms that he feels that the proposed Gooseberry Dam would be an undesirable project to build under the present plans that Sanpete County and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) have for the project.
"In the late 1990's, the expected cost of the dam was between $60-80 million," wrote Matheson. "At this time, it is not clear how much the project will truly cost. Additionally, the construction of this new dam at Gooseberry will adversely affect the water users in neighboring Carbon County, which is in my congressional district."
In the letter, Matheson went on to say that the proposed dam site was located on a known active earthquake fault and that its construction could also have "negative effects on one of the premier trout fishing streams in Utah."
The Gooseberry controversy has been somewhat quiet for a couple of years. But the election of Jason Chaffetz last year and his subsequent visit to the site of the proposed dam this past summer have relit the controversy. In a statement at the time of his visit to the dam site before the Sanpete officials who were present, he said, "We're going to fight to make this happen. Any hurdle they (opponents) put up for us we'll get over it."
At the time, as reported by the Sanpete Messenger, Chaffetz also said that Matheson owed him one.
"I've supported some of his projects outside of the district, so I hope he reciprocates," he stated.
Some residents in the water community around Carbon County wondered if that statement was true, but Matheson put a squash on that belief with his letter.
"The users of Sanpete County deserve access to their water, but I believe it is important to evaluate alternatives that are much less costly and may have fewer negative effects on the two counties, Sanpete and Carbon," he stated. "It's my understanding that a number of viable alternatives exist."
Matheson also pointed out that the Bureau of Reclamation has recommended that work on a supplementary Environmental Impact Statement (that was started because of a record of decision from a previous EIS had been rescinded by a court) that was begun in 1998, be recommenced.
"Given that so many stakeholders in Utah are interested in this project, I ask that you give careful consideration to all sides before moving forward with this project," Matheson concluded.

- How to Read a Study Record
- Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and MC4R genetic mutations are two conditions that can cause problems with appetite regulation. People with PWS often have behavior and thinking problems. People with MC4R mutations may have problems with attention. These problems may be related to Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a protein that is important for brain development. Researchers want to study people with PWS and MC4R mutations to see how BDNF is involved in these conditions. Specifically, body weight and brain function will be studied, and compared with healthy volunteers.
- To study how BDNF affects body weight and brain function in people with PWS and MC4R mutations.
- Individuals of any age who have Prader-Willi syndrome or MC4R genetic mutations.
- Healthy volunteers of any age to act as control participants.
- Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. Height, weight, and waist/hip circumferences will be measured. Blood samples will be taken for genetic and other tests.
- Participants will fill out questionnaires about eating habits, pain perception, and sleep behavior.
- Participants will keep a 3-day food diary to record all food and drinks eaten.
- Tests and questionnaires will be given to study thinking, speech, movement, behavior, and mood. Some tests will be done on a computer; other tests will be on paper. Tests may also involve performing tasks with blocks and other objects.
- Participants may have other tests as directed. These will include hot and cold sensitivity tests, imaging studies like x-rays, and measurements of body fat and water content.

|Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Obesity and Neurocognitive Function
- Serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor concentration

|Study Start Date:
|January 2012
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|December 2014
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein that is important in nervous system development and function. BDNF also appears to function downstream of the leptin-melanocortin signaling pathway to control appetite. In both animals and humans, diminished BDNF function is associated with hyperphagia, obesity, and neurocognitive deficits. We propose to study BDNF in two hyperphagic disorders: Prader-Willi syndrome and MC4R function-altering mutations. We hypothesize that patients with PWS may have increased BDNF during infancy, followed by a decline in BDNF that precedes the onset of hyperphagia and persists after the onset of obesity. We hypothesize that patients with MC4R mutations will have decreased BDNF, the severity of which will be associated with the degree of MC4R functional loss caused by the specific mutation(s) in each individual. To test these hypotheses, we wish to conduct cross-sectional studies to evaluate serum BDNF concentrations, metabolism, body composition, and neurocognition in: subjects with PWS, subjects with MC4R mutations and control subjects matched for age, sex, race, and BMI. If alterations in BDNF are found to be associated with PWS and/or MC4R mutations, these investigations could lead to future studies of BDNF receptor agonists as mechanism-specific pharmacologic therapy for hyperphagia and obesity in PWS and MC4R mutations, or BDNF receptor antagonists for failure-to-thrive in neonatal PWS.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Subject Inclusion Criteria:
- For PWS subjects: We will enroll 75 subjects of all ages who have diagnosis of PWS confirmed by chromosome analysis (i.e. interstitial deletion of paternally-derived chromosome 15q, uniparental maternal disomy or other chromosome 15 abnormalities). Our goal is to have 25 infants, 25 non-obese, and 25 obese subjects in order to assess the different phases associated with PWS. Subjects receiving growth hormone therapy may enroll if the dose has been stable for the preceding 6 months.
- For MC4R subjects: We will screen up to 200 subjects for mutations of MC4R and enroll 50 subjects of all ages who have diagnosis of homozygous or heterozygous MC4R mutation confirmed by sequencing of the MC4R gene. Both functional-altering (N=25) and non-pathologic (N=25) mutations will be included.
- For control subjects: We will enroll 125 subjects of all ages who match with PWS or MC4R subjects by age (plus-minus 10%), sex, race, and BMI percentile (plus-minus10%).
Subject Exclusion Criteria:
For all subjects:
- Pregnancy

Buzz: VACATION WATCH 2013!!!
In 2009, it was Woody's Le Grand Tour that caused a stir. Is Rex's journey into the wilderness about to raise some eyebrows?
The Daily News has learned that not only isn't Ryan at the team facility today, but he flew out of town this morning. Barring a drastic change in plans, he won't be back to the team's Florham Park headquarters on Thursday, either.
Ryan's trip is of a personal nature, the News has learned.
The Jets likely won't make any official announcements of coaching changes until they hire a new general manager, which could happen as soon as this week. Ryan told his staff to handle their paperwork during the rest of the week, but that no official moves are likely to happen until a new GM is in place.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comLast I checked Rex Ryan didn't work at the Triangle Waist Company. Most NFL coaches wouldn't have taken a vacation since the start of training camp, so even with a six win team, he's earned a bit of a break.
This could add circumstantial evidence to the idea that he's being put out to pasture. That said, there's a large distinction between him heading to Ibiza to party down or spending a few quiet days with family or his ailing father.

A four-year letterwinner
with the Jackrabbits, Andy Kleinjan joins the men's basketball staff for the
2009-10 season as a graduate assistant after spending the last two years as a
teacher and boy's basketball coach at Watertown High School in Watertown, S.D.
In his two years with the
Arrow's, Kleinjan coached the freshman boy's team and helped guide the varsity
squad to a state title in 2008 as an assistant.
A Bruce, S.D., native,
Kleinjan played in 92 games in his Jackrabbit career, 26 of them in his senior
year, when he led the Jackrabbits with 60 points at the season-opening BCA
Classic, including a career-23 against VMI.
"Andy spent five years in
this system, so he brings a working knowledge of our program," said head coach
Scott Nagy. "He also played with some of these guys, so he knows the dynamics
of the team."
Before joining the
Jackrabbits, Kleinjan earned Gatorade Player of the Year honors in 2002 after
finishing his career at Sioux Valley High School with 1,205 points, which
includes a school record 26.7 per game as a senior. He also earned all-state
and Argus Leader First Five honors following his senior season.
Kleinjan also holds the
Sioux Valley record for points in a game with 40, with 14 field goals in a game
and for the most field goals in a career with 476.
Along with two state
basketball tournament appearances, Kleinjan ran in four state cross country
meets, three state track meets and graduated with a 3.4 grade point average.

Compound Miter Saw Showdown: 8 Tools, Tested
Evergreen shrubs retain their leaves or needles all year long, so they're constantly providing cover and color. "This gives you some interest even in the winter," says Rich Cording Jr., co-owner of CLC Landscape Design, Inc., in Ringwood, N.J. He says evergreen plants advantageously placed near the house, such as in front of corners, can help soften the vertical lines of the house, giving it a more inviting appearance.
"For 12 months out of the year, you soften those vertical lines," Cording says. "With evergreen material, you're always going to have curb appeal."
Instead of trampling down the lawn, resulting in a makeshift path of dead grass between your patio, fire pit, and garden, create an attractive walkway using concrete stepping stones, natural flagstone, decorative brick, or crushed stone. "It's all about connecting elements in your landscaping to pull those elements together," says Craig Trenary, owner of Terra Forma Design in Bloomington, Minn.
Trenary advises constructing a pathway, walkway, or any other landscaping feature from material that's the same or similar to what's used on the exterior of the house, such as a brick or stone, because it will tie the path aesthetically to the home. Or use the material to provide a striking edging along the walkway.

|Business Park Sunk in Cross Party Vote
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 21 August 2013 07:18
Watauga commissioners faced another full house at last night's meeting, most there to speak on the issue of a 200 acre NC 194 tract the county had an option on near Meat Camp, seeking to develop a business park. A number spoke in favor of the project, Susan Jones,
speaking for "The High Country United Way Vision Council wishes to support the purchase of land and development of the proposed business park on NC Highway 194." Many more were opposed, like Liz Riddick, "As elected officials, you're entrusted with the privilege and great responsibility of spending other people's money. have the I personally do not want my tax money to go for a business park in a very bad location." But after closing the public hearing, commissioners first had to decide whether to contemplate further or act, with each commissioner expressing themselves on the issue. Chairman Nathan Miller said that the property was for sale and would be sold, and that the other main interest looking at the tract was more student housing. Perry Yates struggled with the concepts of the development, hoping to address even agricultural business. Billy Kennedy struggled with the need for infrastructure—a point he said he ran on—but could not support this location. John Welch said he could not support the buy, even though there were needs for school properties in the county. But as the decision appeared to be headed to a Republican majority vote in favor, David Blust spoke, "I don't think buying 200 acres is necessarily what's needed for a business park. I think you can look at something a little less than that—quite a bit less than that. But I hear you speak, and I've got to vote 'no' on this. I'm not in support of this." So it was another 3 to 2 vote of the commission, but Blust's vote with the two Democratic members of the board sank the county's purchase of the property.

State lawmakers representing the north county are split on enacting regional high school legislation despite the efforts of the regions schools to push it forward.
I dont think that we actually need more legislation, state Senator Elizabeth OConnor Little, R-Queensbury, said last week.
Mrs. Little said she hopes to see rural school districts use existing opportunities to create efficiencies as opposed to legislating regional high schools. These existing pathways to collaboration include webinars, tuitioning and mergers.
Mrs. Little said the best solution is for districts in tough fiscal straits pay tuition for students to attend other districts in order to maintain a sound education and a balanced budget.
The trouble with regional high schools, Mrs. Little said, is that every time we do that we lose jobs.
This sentiment was reflected by Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa.
I dont believe that our schools need legislation in order to start to share services and cooperate on a much larger scale, Mrs. Russell said. I think that there is existing precedent to allow our school districts to work together.
This is not welcome news for Thomas R. Burns, superintendent of the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services.
Why would you not give local schools more tools in their toolbox to provide more opportunities for their students? Mr. Burns said.
Mr. Burns said regional high school legislation was introduced in 2012. Although it failed to garner support in either the Senate or the Assembly, Senate bill 7486, introduced by Sen. John J. Flanagan, R-Smithtown, had the blessing of the state Education Department.
Mr. Flanagan could not be reached for comment.
I find it disappointing, Mr. Burns said of Mrs. Littles and Mrs. Russells views.
Noting that Mr. Flanagans bill had the tacit support of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo via the state Education Department, Mr. Burns said he cant understand why lawmakers wouldnt be on board with it.
The governors education reform commission also recently delivered a series of recommendations to Mr. Cuomo, including a regional high school initiative, in order to help shore up the states education system, Mr. Burns said.
Mr. Burns also pointed to the $30,000 study being conducted by Heuvelton, Morristown and Hermon-DeKalb central schools about the potential cost savings of a regional high school configuration. The results of that study are due by June 30 – 10 days after the scheduled end of the 2013 legislative session.
Given where the governor is on it and the fact that we have three local school districts that are doing a study on this, I do not understand it, and Im not sure what level of calamity it takes for Albany to get it and take some action, Mr. Burns said.
Assemblyman Kenneth J. Blankenbush, R-Black River, is more receptive to the regional high school concept.
We have to start looking outside the box. Regional high schools are something that I consider to be outside the box, he said. When we have schools that are graduating only 26 students and our enrollment is going down, we as a north country have to take a look at all the alternatives that we have to get the best education possible for our students.
And Senator Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, said, although she is waiting to see what the Senate leadership does, she thinks [regional high schools] would be an option. I would be hopeful that there would be some movement on that [in 2013].
Mr. Blankenbush said getting regional high school legislation to move forward is a matter of activism.
Whether we can sell it, thats the question, he said.

Lyme disease is caused by B. burgdorferi, a spirochete transmitted by the bite of the tick species I. scapularis and I. pacificus. It is the most common tick-borne infection in North America and Europe.
Urge patients to avoid exposure to vector ticks in endemic areas and to promptly but carefully remove attached ticks.
Children in particular are likely to have unrecognized tick bites; inspect young patients carefully after potential exposure.
Be aware that pets may bring ticks into the house, even if the pet is itself protected against tick bites.
Do not routinely use antibiotics or serologic testing for the prevention of Lyme disease after a tick bite but consider one oral dose of doxycycline, 200 mg, if known tick bite in endemic area at least 36 hours from tick bite and within 72 hours from when the tick was removed.
Note the following three clinical stages of Lyme disease, with overlap symptoms and asymptomatic periods between the stages:
Acute localized (within one month of tick bite): erythema migrans, constitutional symptoms
Acute disseminated (weeks to months after tick bite): appearance of multiple erythema migrans-like lesions, constitutional symptoms, cardiac (heart block), neurological (peripheral and central disease such as seventh cranial nerve palsy and meningitis), transitory monoarticular or oligoarticular inflammatory arthritis
Chronic disseminated (months to years after tick bite): recurrent transitory or chronic inflammatory monoarthritis or oligoarthritis; rarely neurological (encephalomyelitis, peripheral neuropathy)
Use two-tiered serologic testing to confirm the diagnosis of Lyme disease in suspected cases of disseminated disease; serologic testing is not helpful in establishing the diagnosis in patients with a history of tick exposure in an endemic area presenting with erythema migrans.
Obtain an immunoblot only in patients with indeterminate or positive ELISA or IFA results.
The C6 peptide ELISA may be as specific as the Lyme disease immunoblot in confirming infection after an initial positive screening ELISA.
Be advised that there is no clear definition of post-Lyme disease syndrome beyond nonspecific symptoms and lab evidence of prior B. burgdorfei infection.
Treat erythema migrans with oral doxycycline or amoxicillin for 14 days.
Treat patients with radiculopathy or cranial nerve palsy with oral regimens. Children older than 8 years and adults with Lyme meningitis may be safely treated with oral doxycycline or with iv ceftriaxone. Patients with Lyme encephalitis should be treated with iv ceftriaxone.
Lyme carditis should be treated with iv ceftriaxone. Patients may be safely transitioned to oral therapy to complete the course of treatment once the cardiac abnormality has resolved.
Treat patients with Lyme arthritis with doxycycline or amoxicillin for 28 days.
Note that antibiotics have not been found effective in post-Lyme disease syndrome, although most patients experience gradually improvement over 6 to 12 months without treatment.

At the WhoWhatWear.com offices, we're always closely monitoring what's in the hands of the world's trendsetters. We don't have some sort of phalanges fetish, dear readers, rather we're paying attention to the micro trends in the hot handbag arena. After analyzing the latest photographic data, our reports are clear: stylish celebrities are all business when it comes to their bag preferences. While their less fashion-forward peers (and the rest of us plebeians) are still sweet on boho hobos, zippered clutches, and standout studded totes, ladies like Rachel Bilson and Katie Holmes have moved on to the briefcase bag.
Just as there are zillions of different careers and professions, today's stylish circle of ladies carry a range of briefcase bag shapes. Their totes are quite varied: some gals like a slightly more structured style, while others prefer their carryalls to be on the slouchy side. Peaches Geldof pulled out a crisp black vintage briefcase bag for a recent trip. Seen here en route to Heathrow, Geldof demonstrates the bag's inherent versatility: the long strap makes hands-free travel easy while the clean lines add polish to even the most casual travel outfit. Another woman who like a smartly built briefcase bag is Katie Holmes. The All My Sons-headlining actress was seen strolling through Manhattan carrying a sophisticated black Hermes Kelly Depeches PM Briefcase with her simple outfit of jeans and a white button-down. Though not technically a briefcase, the structured, top-handle, tan tote Rachel Bilson was spotted with in Miami has the same look and feel of our accessory du jour. Seen above in her own blouse, AG Premiere Jeans ($215) in the 5 Year Wash, and a pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs Glitter Flats ($183, on sale), Bilson completed her outfit with Luis Steven's Medium Laptop Pack ($495). We love the burnished leather and fuss-free design-it reminds us a bit of a vintage mail carrier bag, albeit updated, of course.
On that quintessential slouchy satchel note, we'd like to redirect your attention to the softer side of the briefcase bag look, as exemplified by the handbag choices of Mary Kate Olsen and Alexa Chung. The super cool black bag slung over Olsen's shoulder is one of the most highly coveted of the season, as it's from Proenza Schouler's inaugural handbag collection. Her Large Leather Bag ($1995) will hit Barneys New York in about three weeks, it's offered in a range of colors (including black, white, gray, coral, tan, blue, green, yellow, and pink), and will be available in leather, suede, and python. Past Insider Alexa Chung prefers an equally relaxed briefcase bag that's slightly less dear in price than Olsen's choice. She was seen in front of the PPQ Spring 09 show in a vintage dress and her favorite Mulberry Elkington Briefcase ($795).
Unlike some of the more delicate carryalls on the market, a sturdy briefcase bag only looks better with wear (at Chung shows us), so if you're hard on your totes and in love with this style, it's not a bad idea to save up and invest. Thriftier readers should obviously troll their local vintage stores for less pricey models. There are lots of perfectly worn-in satchels from the likes of Coach to Cartier on eBay.com as we speak, so dig around. As for contemporary cases, we rounded up a few of our favorites for you to consider. Banana Republic's
BR Monogram Leather Brief Bag
($330) is a gorgeous tawny cognac color and comes with a detachable strap. Urban Outfitters also has a lovely tan tote, the
Folio Briefcase Bag ($58), that looks like a seventies version of Bilson's tote. If you'd like a totally untraditional take on the bag, check out the Plaid Briefcase Bag ($88) from Play by C. Ronson. The plaid flannel shoulder bag is a little slice of preppy perfection and is available in navy or scarlet. If you want an ultra classic basic black briefcase bag, you can't go wrong with Frye's
Todd Collection Brief Case
($502). Equally trustworthy is the
current range of briefcase bags available at Coach right now. They've got a huge selection of timeless totes, any of which will last forever.

Chaco Sandals: the unofficial official recovery sandal of the Rock/Creek Race Team
If you've seen members of the Rock/Creek Race Team at trail races around the country, you've probably seen more than one pair of Chacos, and that's no accident. Chaco isn't an official sponsor of our Race Team, but so many of our runners wear Chacos before and after racing that we're going to go ahead and call them an unofficial one...
Rock/Creek & Chaco Sandals donate $3,000 to plant trees in Chattanooga
The $3,000 will fund the planting of 18 trees in two sections of median on Dallas Road in Chattanooga. The species selected for planting is an American Elm cultivar called "Princeton," bred for its resistance to Dutch Elm Disease. By selecting the American Elm, we're re-introducing a native tree to the urban landscape...

PAWTUCKET – Norman Menard says you don't have to be a policeman, fireman or emergency management professional to help your community when there are threats of terrorism, crime, public health issues, and natural disasters.
What you do need, he says, is a willingness to learn and help support first responders any way you can when disaster does strike.
Menard has kicked off a new incarnation of the Citizen Emergency Response Teams program that was deployed in the city several years ago to encourage more citizen involvement in emergency preparedness. Called Pawtucket Volunteer Service, Menard is looking for a few good men and women to join the city's "Ready Pawtucket" campaign, which will start by helping the city prepare for the upcoming hurricane season.
The emergency preparedness training is being provided under a federal grant to the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency. Classes, open to Pawtucket residents age 18 or older, begin Tuesday and will be held every Tuesday from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Jenkes High School. All training materials will be provided at no cost to participants. The classes will be held for seven weeks ending on June 25.
Participants must have a valid Rhode Island driver's license, a properly operating vehicle and proof of vehicle insurance and will undergo mandatory background checks.
The goal, says Menard, is to train at least 15 to 30 volunteers to assist the Pawtucket EMA and other municipal departments with manpower and equipment during emergencies and municipal events The training will include severe weather monitoring, emergency preparedness education, shelter management and Skywarn weather-watcher training by the National Weather Service, among other activities. Free CPR training is also included.
"This is an excellent way for residents to be directly involved in emergency activities that will improve community readiness in the event of a hurricane or similar major event," Menard said.
Menard, a retired East Providence firefighter who spent more than 20 years in the fire service, was an American Red Cross liaison to the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency, before being named Pawtucket's Emergency Management Agency director in December.
The Pawtucket Volunteer Service is a newer version of the Citizen Emergency Response Teams, which was Pawtucket's local version of Citizen Corps, a program under the Department of Homeland Security that provides training for the population of the United States to assist in the recovery after a disaster or terrorist attack. Each local Citizen Corps council partners with organizations, volunteers and businesses to organize responders, volunteers and professional first responders for an efficient response so efforts aren't duplicated.
Menard says the primary focus of the new initiative is to create public education, training and volunteer opportunities to support community and family safety.
"This new program has a different slant in that we're trying to put a face to the EMA and work more with other public safety organizations," he said.
But the core program will be citizens emergency response training and supporting the local first responders, which can be everything from passing out water bottles and manning hydration stations to providing road details at festivals and parades.
"Our slogan is 'Ready Pawtucket," and we're going to start by making Pawtucket a storm-ready community," Menard said.
For more information, call the Pawtucket EMA at (401) 729-5846 or send an email to email@example.com [2].

Buzz: Jets Eyeing Illinois Receiver?
According to reports, it looks like Jets WR coach Henry Ellard was in attendance last week at the Illinois pro day to watch early round prospect Arrelious Benn.
While Illinois may not have produced a good record last season (3-9), it still managed to develop several elite prospects. The best of those players is WR Arrelious Benn (6-foot 7/8, 218 pounds), who performed for wide receiver coaches from the Bengals, Jets, Patriots, Browns and Dolphins. Benn was put through intense position drills after the workout, running routes and catching balls for an extra hour and 15 minutes.
As for the workout, Benn had a sensational outing. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.42 and 4.40 seconds, had a 37 1/2-inch vertical jump, a 10-foot, 1-inch broad jump, a 4.32-second short shuttle and a 6.79-second three-cone drill.
Last year, when the Jets had the 17th pick, the team sent Henry Ellard to scout Percy Harvin, DHB, and Jeremy Maclin among others. While he was in Urbana, we wouldn't blame Ellard if his eye wandered to WR Jeff Cumberland – who looks to be a late round (6th or 7th round) pick that might interest the Jets.
E. Weeks wrote about Benn last month. In their most recent mocks, Kiper currently has Benn ranked 27th, and going 21st overall. McShay does not have Benn in the first round.
NOTE: If you see reports of Jets coaches / scouts at particular pro days, or of invitations the Jets made to specific players to visit or meet with the team … PLEASE send them including links in! We're going to start our work tonight on the Mock Draft Muncher and creating a web page with all the visits set up for you to peruse between now and next month's NFL Draft!

What is a pinched nerve?
A "pinched nerve" is the name given to the uncomfortable sensation, pain, or numbness caused when increased pressure leads to irritation or damage to a peripheral nerve (A peripheral nerve is one that is outside the brain and spinal cord.). Although this condition is often associated with back pain or a neck injury, almost any nerve is susceptible.
What are the risk factors for a pinched nerve?
Anything which increases pressure around a nerve can cause a pinched nerve. Common causes include body position such as leaning on elbows, habitually crossing legs, or poor posture. Over time this may lead to pressure injury to nerves in these regions.
What causes a pinched nerve?
Reader Stories
Pressure on a peripheral nerve can irritate the nerve itself, its protective covering (myelin sheath), or both. When this occurs, the nerve is unable to conduct sensory impulses to the brain appropriately, leading to a sense of numbness. This inflammation associated with the damage or injury can also cause pain or paresthesia (a tingling or prickling sensation) signals to be sent to the brain. In its early stages, many people may describe this sensation as a body part that has "fallen asleep." However, if nerve inflammation persists, this sensation persists rather than resolving after a few minutes.
If the nerve is compressed for a short amount of time, it is often able to repair itself but it may take several weeks or months for the symptoms to fully resolve. However, if the compression remains present for a long time, permanent nerve injury may occur.

NIAGARA FALLS, ONTARIO -- We now know what the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums has to say after inspections of the Marineland park over the summer.
The group's report says there's no evidence of abuse or neglect.
But there are some lingering concerns about the water quality.
The group plans on a series of unannounced inspections over the next few weeks to make sure the water concerns are being taken care of.
Protests over conditions at Marineland took place outside the park last summer.
Here is the press release sent from the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums:
The Accreditation Commission of Canada's Accredited Zoos and Aquariums ( CAZA) has conducted a special investigation into allegations that the welfare of animals at Marineland Canada has been negatively affected by water quality problems and inadequate staffing levels and that these problems were not appropriately addressed over a period of time. A three person inspection team including two veterinary experts conducted a site inspection on August 23rd, and subsequently interviewed relevant witnesses and examined internal water logs and medical records.
The Commission has concluded that at the time of the site inspection the animals in question in the Marineland collection, including the marine mammals were in overall good health and there was no evidence of animal abuse, that water quality in all the pools was very good, and it appeared that staffing levels were adequate.
The Commission found that Marineland's veterinary program is comprehensive and includes regular veterinary inspections and treatment of animals where appropriate. The veterinarians are experienced, competent and assisted by specialists as needed.
Detailed examination of water quality logs and animal health records as well as interviews with some ex-employees, however, raise questions about how effectively the water quality systems in three of the pools are working. In examining the logs there were several times when levels exceeded industry standards and while each incident was brought under control, the Commission expects to see a solution that will maintain water quality in the longer term. While the water quality issues appeared in some instances to impact on the wellbeing of the animals in the pools in question, there was no evidence of animal abuse and the animals affected were under veterinary care and treatment.
The Commission and Marineland have agreed that Marineland will undertake an independent, external inspection of its water quality management systems for the pools in question. The engineering evaluation will be based partially on a thorough updating by Marineland of its water quality management protocols and is to be completed as soon as reasonably possible. CAZA is to be consulted regarding the qualifications of the evaluators, and is to be provided with a copy of the resulting report. Marineland has stated that they welcome this study and will use the results to ensure that the systems are entirely capable of providing an appropriate environment for the marine collection.
Until the engineering study is complete and action taken to address its recommendations, if any, CAZA will conduct a series of unannounced inspections on a four to six week schedule to assess water quality through a review of the water logs and a physical inspection of all of the pools. CAZA inspectors will also assess staffing levels to verify that animal welfare and staff safety are ensured, will examine all the animals in the enclosures in question, review with veterinary and animal care staff the status of animals receiving treatment, ensure that water quality management protocols are being properly implemented, and will report to the Commission on the outcome of the inspections.
CAZA represents the 29 leading zoological parks and aquariums in Canada. Its purpose is to promote the welfare of zoo and aquarium wildlife, to advance related science and conservation, and to foster public engagement in the preservation of our natural heritage.
The foundation of the approach to animal care taken by Canada's accredited zoos and aquariums is the CAZA Accreditation Program, based on standards to which each Member is subject, spelling out in detail the measures needed to ensure the first rate care needed for the wellbeing of all the animals for which each Member is responsible.
CAZA standards deal with every aspect of the zoo and aquarium, especially the wellbeing of the animals - nutrition, enclosures, security, exercise and enrichment, veterinary care, contact with visitors - everything that impacts on the animal. The standards required for accreditation are continuously updated to ensure they meet the highest internationally recognized standards for the care and wellbeing of animals.
The implementation of CAZA's standards is ensured through the association's Accreditation Commission. Headed by professionals who have years of experience in animal care and all other aspects of zoo and aquarium operation, the commission regularly inspects member facilities. All CAZA members must have their accreditation renewed - through a thorough inspection - at least once every five years.
Any variation from approved standards can lead to re-inspection resulting in new requirements, or in extreme cases, to removal of accreditation.
CAZA is the national voice of the zoo and aquarium community in Canada. Representing the 29 leading zoos and aquariums in Canada its purpose is to promote the welfare of animals, to advance related science and conservation and to foster public engagement in the preservation of our natural heritage.

|Waves of Rain Pounding the High Country
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 03 July 2013 14:42
Waves of heavy rain have raked the High Country all afternoon, with flash flooding hitting a number of areas. Ashe County Emergency Services have sent crews to the Laurel Knob area off NC 194 to a report of flooding inside a home. The woman told dispatchers she might not be able to get out
of the house, and reported water flowing into her garage and into the living area of the home. A vehicle flipped over into Big Horse Creek due to flooding on Big Horse Creek Road in Ashe, the lone occupant calling his father to say he was OK, but emergency resources were sent to deal with traffic control and try to retrieve the vehicle from the creek. Flooding is starting to take its toll on area roads, with the four lane in Ashe county closed for a time due to flooding, as well as NC 88 between Warrensville and Lansing. First reports of road flooding came in from far western Avery County, where areas off of US 19E were reported underwater, specifically the Roaring Creek area to Molly's Branch, Henson's Creek and other areas. Reports say over a foot of water is across roadways in the Frank and Burleson areas. Avery emergency services are evacuating some area campgrounds, blocking off roads in the area, now deemed too dangerous to cross, with rapid rise reported in the Toe River and feeder streams. One man reported that the dirt portion of Roaring Creek washed away just below his location, and he may be stuck on the higher ground, with Avery emergency crews trying to determine how to get him out. The large band of heavy rain, traveling from south to north, is hitting the mountains, it is dumping its load of moisture, and with the amount of water dumped on the mountainsides, and whether the grounds can absorb any of it after days of soaking rain.

GOUVERNEUR E.J. Noble Hospital has a finalized management agreement with Canton-Potsdam Hospital, a new board, a new administrator, an infusion of money and the start of a new vision of how to provide health care in Gouverneur.
CPH and E.J. Noble were advised today that their management agreement was approved by the E.J. Noble bondholder, the National Automatic Sprinkler Pension Fund, which paved the way for Marlinda L. LaValley, vice president for administrative services at CPH, to be named administrator at the Gouverneur hospital.
An application for the hospital to change its designation from acute care to critical access was filed Monday, CPH Administrator David B. Acker said. That would allow the hospital to gain increased Medicare reimbursements.
A recently appointed E.J. Noble board of President Michael J. Burgess, a vice president at Kinney Drugs; Mark L. Brackett, Kinney Foundation Board president; Nicholas F. Gardner, a Gouverneur dentist; Stephen E. Knight, United Helpers chief executive officer, and Dr. Andrew Williams, a physician at Cerebral Palsy Association of the North Country and CPH, are continuing to review the hospitals fiscal situation and its operations, including what services should be kept, and to oversee the eventual opening of a primary care clinic in the hospital.
On top of a $2 million loan for short-term relief of E.J. Noble arranged through the Dormitory Authority by the state Department of Health, CPH will provide a $300,000 loan which it will forgive. CPH will also waive its management fee for six months and then use that money at E.J. Noble, Mr. Acker said.
Kinney Nursing Home will remain open under the supervision of United Helpers and the hospitals laboratory will be supervised for now by Samaritan Medical Center, Watertown.

Fresh Glow Fluid
Fresh Glow Fluid is a sheer fluid highlighter that does a great job of 'waking up' the face without adding too much shine.
Lip Velvet
Not only can this lipstick outlast breakfast and lunch, it manages to stay vibrant, too!
Add to Faves?
Strengths: Great highlighting lotion and powder; some good foundations; selection of lip color products, including Lip Velvet.
Weaknesses: Inconsistent eyeshadow quality; limited shade selection in complexion products; Burberry Beauty has poor in-store and online availability, items are often out-of-stock for long periods of time; strong, pervasive fragrance is an issue in several products.
British fashion house Burberry has a long history, dating back to 1856 when the company opened its first store in Basingstoke, England. Initially specializing in outerwear, Burberry is credited with creating the first true "trench coat" for the British military in the early 1900s, which quickly gained popularity with the general public after World War I. In the years since their trench coat became a fashion staple, Burberry has become a global brand, and now has stores all over the world. In 2010, Burberry, taking a cue from other high fashion brands such as Armani and Chanel, launched its own line of cosmetics—Burberry Beauty.
Burberry Beauty's lineup of products is relatively small compared to those of competing designer brands, but it includes all the basics: foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, lipstick, and blush. Unfortunately, many of the Burberry Beauty products have better packaging than performance, and definitely more style than substance. The bottles, compacts, and various cases look very high-end, with each product featuring the iconic Burberry "check plaid," a pattern the company began using as its signature in the 1920s. Unfortunately, iconic brand symbols and pretty packaging don't necessarily make for great makeup.
Despite its designer pedigree, Burberry Beauty is sadly mediocre—especially given its heritage and price point. If a designer name holds more allure for you when shopping for makeup, then Dior, Chanel, or Armani are all much better options.

Mr. Anderson (just call him Joel) has been a painter and designer for years. But it was back in 2003 that he decided to bring together a team of artists to create a poster series celebrating Nashville. The inspiration was to show off "their city" to the likes of LA and NYC clients who just didn't get what was so great about lil' ol' Nashville, TN. Looks like his poster mission worked; not only were his clients impressed, they soon found folks from all over the world asking for their posters. The mission continues with about 10-14 posters a year celebrating different facets of the Nashville experience. That experience has gone global, y'all!

26 September - European Day of Languages
The European Day of Languages (EDL) was first celebrated in 2001 during the European Year of Languages. At the end of this campaign the Council of Europe's Committee of Ministers decided to make EDL an annual event, to be celebrated each 26 September. Every year, millions of people in the Council's member states and elsewhere organise or take part in activities to promote linguistic diversity and the ability to speak other languages.
The general aim is to draw attention to Europe's rich linguistic and cultural diversity, which has to be encouraged and maintained, but also to extend the range of languages that people learn throughout their lives in order to develop their plurilingual skills and reinforce intercultural understanding. EDL is an opportunity to celebrate all of Europe's languages, including those that are less widely spoken and the languages of migrants.
Watch the spot for the Day
The "Talk to me" slogan of the Day has formed the basis of a video clip developed in 2011.

The WhoWhatWear.com team-as well as the fashion community at large-is invariably obsessed with everything Hannah MacGibbon creates for Chloe. With collections that are sophisticated, cheeky, and tomboyish yet girly, it's no wonder that this French label is always at the top of our list. This season, we were all about MacGibbon's deftly designed neutral necessities, but there was one look in particular that had us all aflutter: the vintage-looking patchwork denim shirt and jeans that came sauntering down the S/S 10 runway. Maybe we're just suffering from a bad case of eighties-redux fatigue, but there was something so refreshingly new, yet sweetly nostalgic, about this fashion-forward Texas Tuxedo denim duo, it was the natural pick for our next Do It Yourself story!
After the runaway success of our first D.I.Y. story, which focused on the divine Proenza Schouler S/S 10 collection, we knew that we had to bring this idea to our partner-in-craft: Erica Domesek of P.S. I Made This! After all, the actual Chloe Patchwork Jeans ($565, 212.717.8220) and Two-Tone Shirt (which will be in stores shortly) are genius, but you can easily approximate the results with just a few simple "ingredients" and a little elbow grease. Of course, if you aren't in the mood to slash up an few pairs of blues or dish out hundreds for designer denim be sure to check out The Gap's Real Stretch Patch Jeans ($80). But, dear reader, if you have the will, we'll show you the way to get your very own handmade Chloe-esque denim dream team in today's DIY!
So, if you're ready to try your hand at crafting one of these homemade creations, make sure you check out the step-by-step breakdown of this how-to in our second Do It Yourself feature. Finally, don't forget to click onto P.S. I Made This, as it not only has additional details about today's project, but is also filled with lots of darling and easy-to-do projects! -Kate Mulling
-1 light-wash denim or chambray shirt
-1 pair of medium-wash jeans
-Needle and thread
-Straight pins
1. Cut out the back pockets of the medium-wash jeans; make sure to keep the pockets' outer edge intact.
2. Each pocket is comprised of two layers of denim. Separate those layers by snipping out the thread (use a seam ripper if you have one!). Reserve the top layer for the Extra Credit Step* or discard if you prefer to keep this D.I.Y. super simple.
3. Place and pin the bottom pocket denim onto the shirt where desired. (We like them on the shoulders as well as the front pockets, but they really can go anywhere you want!)
4. Stitch pockets onto the shirt, or if sewing isn't your thing, just use fabric glue to attach the pockets to the shirt!
*Extra Credit Step: For additional Chloe-like flair, use the top layer of the medium-wash pockets to make smaller shoulder details on the light-wash/chambray shirt. Check out P.S. I Made This for more instructions and additional directions.
-1 pair of medium-wash jeans
-1 pair of light-wash jeans
-Fabric glue
1. Measure out and mark up two rectangular panels on the light-wash jeans. Make sure these panels are equally wide-ours are 6" x 11"-then cut them out using fabric scissors.
2. Place the darker jeans on a flat surface and determine/mark where you want the patches to go.
3. Apply a generous amount of fabric glue to the backside of the light-wash panels. Be sure to evenly distribute the glue on the fabric.
4. Position the light-wash patches over the knee area on the dark-wash jeans and press firmly.
5. Make sure the pieces are completely dried and adhered before you pick them up.
6. Wait 72 hours before washing them-and remember to turn the jeans inside out first!
