- How to Read a Study Record
- African Americans have one of the highest rates of type 2 diabetes in the United States, and often have other medical problems related to obesity and cardiovascular disease. These conditions have various risk factors, including high blood sugar levels, high cholesterol levels, and insulin resistance. However, these risk factors have not been studied very closely in individuals with African ancestry, including Afro-Caribbean and sub-Saharan Africa migrant populations. Researchers are interested in conducting a genetic study on obesity, adult-onset diabetes, heart disease, and other common health conditions in individuals with African ancestry.
- To collect genetic and non-genetic information from individuals with African ancestry to study common health conditions related to obesity, adult-onset diabetes, and heart disease.
- Individuals at least 18 years of age who self-identify as African American, Afro-Caribbean, or migrants from sub Saharan Africa.
- Participants will undergo a physical examination and will provide a blood sample for study.
- Participants will also answer questions about personal and family medical history and current lifestyle behaviors.
- No treatment will be provided as part of this protocol.

|Official Title:
|Genetics of Obesity, Diabetes, and Heart Disease in African Diaspora Populations
|Study Start Date:
|March 2011
This research protocol is designed to study the genetic basis of the clustering of several metabolic disorders including Type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), obesity, and other related conditions in populations of the African Diaspora. This project takes advantage of the well-established infrastructure and success of Dr. Anne Sumner s NIDDK clinical protocols. The project will aim to enroll subjects from her cohorts which include whites, African Americans and Africans living in the United States with the goal of performing quantitative trait analysis using a candidate gene approach to understand the genetic basis of serum lipid levels, blood pressure, fasting glucose, and other metabolic parameters. For aim 2, we propose to perform whole exome sequencing in a subset of cases (n=48, 96 chromosomes) to identify both rare and common variants for multiple metabolic parameters. Variants identified by the exome sequencing effort and by a current sequencing project of six candidate lipid genes will be genotyped in the entire cohort. Overall, these studies will further efforts to understand if black-white differences as well as differences within black populations exist in the genetic basis of T2D, CVD, and obesity. Given past activities, it is also anticipated that this resource will form the basis of multiple collaborations between Dr. Rotimi s lab, several NIH intramural researchers, and non-NIH scientists.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Subjects will include unrelated persons who self-identify as white or African American, Afro-Caribbean or migrant from sub-Saharan Africa. Adults of African ancestry are prioritized for this study because of the paucity of genetics studies investigating the association of risk alleles contributing to the prevalence of T2D, CVD, obesity and other common conditions in this population. A small proportion of whites (less than 10%) will be included in this study, as they are in Dr. Sumner s ongoing projects; they will have the same clinical measurements obtained in the same laboratory to serve as a comparison group.
Children are excluded as these phenotypes present more commonly in adults. Attempts will be made to enroll an equal number of men and women. No prisoners, pregnant women or fetuses will be included in this study.

Over 100,000 Visitors Enjoy Salone del Gusto's Rich Program of Events
By 6 pm on the third day of the event, the Lingotto turnstiles had already registered 44,900 visitors, bringing the total attendance in three days to 105,000. Around 5,000 more than the figures at the same time during the last edition in 2006, the slight rise includes a significant increase in the percentage of visitors from outside Italy.
"What's interesting is the growing number of activities that the same exhibitors are offering to the public, and which join those already planned in the Salone's program" said Silvio Barbero, Slow Food Italy's National Secretary. "Thanks to the guide and map that visitors receive at the ticket desk, they can orient themselves well and choose what interests them most from a wide range of events."

St. Mary beats Danbury in sectional finals
Facing one of the top teams in Division IV proved to be too difficult of a task for the Danbury Lakers boys as they fell, 84-27, to St. Mary CC in the Division IV Sectional Finals last weekend.
The Panthers (17-6) took control from the beginning, racing out to a 13-0 lead before closing out the first quarter with a 21-7 advantage. SMCC led 51-10 at halftime and cruised from there.
Denarius Harris led all scorers with 15 points, Trenton Zimmerman finished with 11, Melvin Jackson scored 10 and Justin Fraser chipped in with eight.
The Lakers (5-18) were led by Caleb Gerber, who scored seven points. John Rhodes, Seth Vargo and Jon Brooks finished with four points apiece.

European Parliament proposes ban on fluorinated gases
June 20, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
The European Parliament says its environment committee has proposed a ban on fluorinated gases in refrigerators and air conditioners. The plan proposes to phase out completely the use of fluorinated gases in the European Union between 2015 and 2020 "in several sectors where energy-efficient and cost-effective alternatives are available," the parliament says. A committee rapporteur has been mandated to open talks on the issue with EU member states. Use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), 1 of 3 types of fluorinated gas, should be reduced to 16% of current...

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
After a slow start the Lady Dinos are starting to find a rhythm. They have moved their record to 5-5 now with a 51-45 win over former region foe, North Sanpete, on Tuesday night.
Carbon's Tia Pappas may have set a high school record as she picked the pocket of the Hawks all night and came away with 19 steals.
She had six before the Dinos were out of the first quarter alone. Carbon was able to hit many fast break points.
That helped set the tone for a big first half for the Dinos as they found themselves sitting on a nine point lead as they headed to the locker room.
North Sanpete protected the ball better in the second half of play and made a run at it in the second half. Carbon struggled at the free throw line hitting a little over 50% of their shots.
Lucky for them, they went to the line much more often than the Hawks.
In the fourth quarter, as North Sanpete tightened up the game, Pappas fouled out. But for Carbon, the guards who remained knew what they had to do to close it out and secure the win.
Pappas was the leading score for the game as she put in 15 points to go along with her 19 steals.
She was named Carbon player of the game. Kylee Lessar and Sara Potts pulled in six boards and Amanda Freestone grabbed nine.

It's playoff time around the Northeast Washington prep sports scene.
High school football playoffs (Crossover/so-called Play-in games) are the featured events this weekend. Colville will host Omak and their Caribou-Trail League Player of the Year, 5-9, 215-pound running back Dylan Green.
Green, who holds most of the No. 4 seeded Pioneers rushing records, including a school single game mark established earlier this season, was also named to the first team defense as a linebacker.
The burly senior is a load and is the focal point of any opposing defense.
Top-ranked Cashmere held Green to under 100 yards in a win last week over Omak that was a lot closer than the final score indicated.
The game Friday night in Colville (7 p.m.) will be a battle of teams that don't throw it much and feature running backs. Colville (4-4, 4-1) senior Colton Davis has established some rushing benchmarks of his own this fall. Davis rushed for 250 yards in Colville's dismantling of Chewelah in the Northeast A League finale for both teams last Friday in Colville.
It's usually Davis right, Davis left and Davis up the middle. Omak uses their low-slung star in similar fashion. It's nothing fancy, but it tends to move the chains consistently.
Davis got some significant help in the Chewelah win when senior Julio Valencia, as close to healthy as he has been since early September, rushed for over 100 yards.
Figure this one to be a close one. Like many games, it could come down to who does the better job of taking care of the ball and exerting their will up front in the trenches.
In this week's Crossover scenario with the CTL, NEA champion Colville (the winners of four straight after an 0-4 start) appears to have the best chance of advancing to the first round of State 1A playoffs against what is usually a rugged CTL that has tended to dominate its NEA opposition.
In the Northeast 2B, Kettle Falls (3-3, 5-4) heads to Waitsburg and a first round State 2B football date with second-ranked Waitsburg-Prescott on Saturday (2 p.m.). The Bulldogs are seeded fourth out of the Northeast 2B.
It isn't often that a team is charged with playing the top-ranked and second-ranked 2B teams in the state in successful weeks. But after losing to Northeast champion and top-ranked Colfax last week, KFHS gets second-ranked Waitsburg-Prescott this week.
KFHS fell behind Colfax 34-0 last week. Bulldog faithful hope Kettle Falls gets off to a faster start at Waitsburg.
Speaking of top-ranked, the state's top-ranked Class 1A volleyball team from Colville heads to Chelan on Saturday for the District 6/7 regional against the Caribou-Trail League. Colville will open at 3:30 p.m. in the Chelan Community Center against the winner of CTL no. 2 and NEA no. 3 Lakeside.
Three teams from the regional will qualify for the State 1A Tournament next Thursday and Friday in Yakima.
Colville High's boys' cross-country team, second to Lakeside in the NEA this fall, qualified its team to the State All-Divisions championships Saturday at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco.
The Indians were second behind (you guessed it) Lakeside last Saturday at the regional tournament at Plantes Ferry Park in Spokane. Colville, ranked sixth in the latest 1A poll, will be one of the favorites on Saturday in Pasco. The Indians finished second in the state last November.
The CHS girls barely missed taking their team to Pasco, losing out on a tie-breaker scenario at Plantes Ferry. Colville's Alison Price and Jill Fenno will represent the CHS girls at State.
The 1A girl's race is at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. The boys will go at noon.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Editor's Note: This is one of a series of articles about the history of the Sun Advocate and the county it covers as a newspaper. These articles are being prepared as the 120th anniversary of the newspaper's birth approaches in 2011.
The national news in 1942 was dominated by the war going on in Europe and the Pacific. The local news, too, brought tales of joy in some cases, but often tales of woe as well.
Throughout the year the Sun Advocate carried stories about service men who were advancing in their military careers through advertisements which sponsored individual soldiers and through a column that was in the paper each week starting in March called Carbon County's Catalogue of Military Men. Those were all well and good as the local populace learned about the graduations and promotions that their soldiers obtained.
On April 23, 1942 the Sun Advocate actually ran a military piece about itself, or actually about the men who had once worked for the paper that were then serving in the military. It was called First in Peace-First in War.
"All these loyal Americans have seen service as employees of the Sun Advocate, and now are widely separated in fields of duty wherein they will continue the steadfastness and loyalty they displayed while working for this newspaper," trumpeted the Carbon County paper. "Those remaining in the office now tender their best wishes as wholehearted greetings to all of these, their former associates. Who knows? We may be seeing you 'out there' sometime."
The list included Harold E. Holdaway who had worked in the mechanical department for eight years and with both the old Sun newspaper and News-Advocate staffs. Arthur P. Draper was listed as having been a reporter for the local papers for years and then had gone on to the Tribune and Salt Lake Telegram before entering the service. Robert C. Andrus had been a reporter and later got a job with the FBI, but was at the time of the piece in the service. Orval Ray Baldwin had been a printer, Ray Griffiths a printers devil along with Cyril Thomas, who was at the time of the writing was in the Army. Both Lewe Martin and Ray Bigelow, who were also former printers devils, were in the service as well. Former sales people in the service included Quentin Hunter, Danny Stevenson and David Avery.
Probably the best known of those from the Sun Advocate that was on the list was Alex Bene, Jr. He was a local young man who would eventually become the long time editor of the Sun Advocate after the war and on into the 1960's.
But the Sun Advocate's sacrifice of losing employees to the war effort paled to those from the community who either lost their young men to the violence of war or to the pain of imprisonment.
On June 4, the Sun Advocate reported a list of men from the county that had just been listed as killed, captured or missing in action. Probably the most shocking was the fact that Lloyd Griffith of Wellington had been reported killed. Just the week before it had been learned that his younger brother Ray, had been listed as killed in action. The family also had another son that was serving in the Navy at the time.
Others who reported killed or missing in that edition of the paper were William Dorius Pilling (Price), Thurlan E. Hampton (Price), Orvil Cave (Wellington), Dorrel Rich (Wellington) and LaMar Polve (Kenilworth). Altogether seven young men from the small county of Carbon. In time, those listed as missing or captured on that days list would proved to have either been killed or captured, later dying in captivity.
Along with Ned Donahue who was missing in action (and actually killed) at Pearl Harbor this brought the total to eight in the span of just a few months.
On July 17, 1942 the country celebrate the first Heroes Day and the Sun Advocate and the community was part of it. It was a day to honor those serving and to also sell lots of bonds and stamps to help support the war effort.
"Throughout tomorrow a special effort is to be made by clearks and proprietors in stores of Price to sell war stamps and bonds," stated the paper on July 16. "The Sun Advocate has offered as a prize for the clerk in any Price business place who sells the most bonds on Friday a $25 war bond.
The Sun Advocate also ran a number of photos and small bios about local service men who were serving in the military at the time. Some of those featured included Robert Stringham, Joe Holman, Cecil Martin McCurdy, Anthony Sooklaris, James Patterson, Loren Fowler, Billy Bishop, Carl Empey, Emil Bertot, James Rowley Hilton and Lyle Asay.
As the year wore on, the news from the fronts began to improve on a international scale, but at times the local slant continued up and down as more and more mens families got telegrams telling them that their loved one was not coming home.

Better kill this one now that it's no longer 1st of April (at least not here).
Yes, I happen to have been hooked up by TeRG with a great girl (my kinda great: socialist, atheist and all round cool chick), whom I've been talking to for more than a year now. However I have no plans of going to the US, and we are just good friends.
so I'll have to have the family tofu roast thing in wait till a time where it would be safe for me to enter the US. But I plan to take you up on that dinner some day pbharris. Maybe someday when the US is sane again, I don't much care for US VISIT and the Patriot act.

San Antonio 207, Clippers 82
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Fri, 12/08/06, 11:51pm:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
SAN ANTONIO - Not since the days of George Gervin, Alvin Robertson, and James Silas have the San Antonio Spurs flexed their offensive muscle, but tonight the Spurs took a time machine in defeating the Los Angeles Clippers 207-89. Mano Ginobili led the Spurs with 76, Tim Duncan added 60, and Brent Barry - making six of seven shots from the five-point line - added 56. Matt Bonner and The Coyote contributed 39 apiece. The Coyote, at 8' 4", dominated Chris Kaman in the paint all night, though the two centers' manes got tangled, causing referee James Capers to delay the game for nine minutes while Bexar County firefighters dealt with the mess. The last time play was suspended for a hair-related incident was also in San Antonio, when Spurs center Artis Gilmore's afro got sucked into the air ducts at HemisFare Arena in 1983. The Spurs led going into the half 138-43, then extended their lead at halftime, going on a 19-2 run while the teams were in their respective locker rooms. Shaun Livingston led the Clippers with 16 points.

When Google announced their new social network, Buzz, they did not fully take into account how important people think their privacy is. Two days after it was first launched, Google had to make several revisions to the platform.
Originally, the application was Google's answer to Twitter but with some extras. Buzz was to let you use Google Maps with Buzz in order for you to focus on your actual location and synching it with your Gmail address book. The application lets you share your location with others and gives additional information about the place you are visiting. This app syncs with your Google Nexus One unlocked cell phone and your computer. This would let your followers know where you are and what you are doing.
Unfortunately when it was released, it allowed everyone to see your public profile. As a user, you had to block the public from viewing your information. On February 12, 2010, Google made some changes so you could block anyone following you that you did not want following you. They based these changes on the amount of user feedback stating that this was an invasion of privacy. Google enhanced Buzz with features to improve privacy settings and giving the user more control about how information would be shared.
This must not be enough for some users as a lawsuit was filed this week in San Jose (CA). The class action was filed in federal court and states that Google has invaded privacy issues by how it released Buzz. Most times, applications state that you must opt in, while Buzz made it so that you had to opt out. This made over 31 million users of Gmail affected by the way Buzz was introduced. The suit could actually include every Gmail user. Google has not made any official statement, as they have not yet taken a look at the lawsuit. You would have thought that Google would have taken into consideration these kinds of privacy issues prior to the release. Make sure that your public profile is excluded before you use Buzz on your mobile unlocked cell phone like the Google Nexus One.

The game's opening movie is a heart-pounding cold opening. We know very little of what is happening: a young girl and a man are escaping from a flying creature through the streets of London. He gives her a letter and says that if anything should happen to him, she should find the man to whom the letter is addressed. Then statues come to life, cars crash, and people die.
We then shift to watching Professor Layton and Luke as they discuss the idea of witch trials, which Layton believes are irrelevant—after all, there is no such thing as magic.
And lastly, we see Phoenix Wright and Maya, flying in to London on their first visit to England. Maya is excited. Phoenix would rather get some sleep. Maya thinks that's a bit of a waste. Humor ensues.
Thus, with all the main characters in place, the story of Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney is set to begin.
Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney was released in Japan on November 29, 2012, for the 3DS in Japan.
The game appears to be heading to the West, based on VG247's recent interview with Level 5's CEO. Stay tuned to Kotaku East for our import preview next week.
Update: We contacted Level-5 for conformation on the Western release of Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney. Sadly, Level-5 told Kotaku that "No western release of the title has been confirmed or announced."

CUMBERLAND — A year ago at these Northern Division Championships, then-Central Falls High junior Tiffany Jenkins finished third overall in the high jump – courtesy of a leap of five feet, one inch – but truly wanted to improve that placement this time around.
Now a senior captain, she accomplished the same 5-1 on Tuesday afternoon, but found herself in a different situation. With the height, she earned the title, so is looking forward to bigger and better things with the premier meets just around the corner.
"I won it at 5-1, but I wanted to challenge myself; that's why I went up to 5-5 (after she had already clinched the crown)," Jenkins grinned. "I just wanted to see if I could equal my PR from last season. I didn't, but I came really close, and that makes me more confident.
"The fact I jumped 5-1 this time, I think that's a good thing; I started to get on a roll last year after this meet, and – at states – I went all out and did great," she added. "I remember being really happy because (at the state meet) I jumped 5-5 on my first attempt, and (eventual champion Dakota Dailey-Harris of La Salle) missed on hers.
"I thought, 'Oh, my gosh! I'm actually in first place!'" she added.
Dailey-Harris, a senior, ended up with the title, but – for Jenkins – Tuesday's outing left her excited about her immediate future.
"This feels great! This is the first time I've ever won a championship," she exclaimed. "I kind of expected to do well. At the (Rick Schomp Invitational in South Kingstown) on Saturday, I jumped 5-3 but came in second to (Woonsocket senior) K.K. Pitts. To win this, it's awesome. It's a good time for this to happen. It's only going to get me more ready for the class and state meets."
Pitts would have been in line to capture two or three events at the very least, but she didn't compete as she suffered from flu-like symptoms. Still, she attended the meet and provided inspiration – and some coaching – to her teammates.
Thanks to its extreme depth, Smithfield bused home from Tucker Field with the team title with 149 points, 19.5 more than runner-up and host Cumberland (129.5). Ponaganset took third overall with 78.5, Lincoln fourth (68), Mount St. Charles fifth (62) and Woonsocket sixth (47).
The Clippers' senior throwing specialist Kendra Plant had aspirations of her own. Competing in all four events, she had been seeded first in the shot, second in the hammer and third in the discus, and found herself ranked third in the javelin after the preliminary round.
"I just want to have PRs in every event," she stated while taking part in the spear finals. "That will help me gain confidence for states."
Plant, who took second in the shot last June at the state meet with a heave of 35-8, snared the win in that specialty with a heave of 37-1, just three inches off her previous best. She, however, fell shy of her goals in the other three, placing third in the hammer (130-3) and the same in the javelin (88-2).
She failed to garner a top-three placement in the discus, though the Villa Novans' Victoria Cooper did, as she won it with a heave of 102-0. She also took runner-up laurels in the hammer (134-6), just an inch behind teammate and champion Cheyanne Nelle (134-7).
Mount St. Charles senior captains Rita Donohoe and Cassie Roberge fashioned forthemselves two individual golds, with Donohoe taking the 100 dash (13.0) and 300 intermediate hurdles (46.3), while Roberge snared the long jump (17-3 ½) and triple jump (37-1 ¼).
Roberge also finished just behind Donohoe in the distance hurdles with a second-place time of 48.5.
Outside of Plant, the Clippers took advantage of several outstanding performances, among them freshman Amy Laverty's stellar "double" in the 1,500 (5:03.3) and 3,000 (11:04.1). According to head coach Vanessa Molloy, both wins resulted in new freshman school marks.
In the latter race, Burrillville's Betsy Dumais took second and Lincoln's Amanda L'Esperance third.
Nicole Barger landed the 800 in 2:23.5, then led off the victorious 4 x 800 relay (which also consisted of Esther Kwara, Meaghan Scullin and Hannah Tavares). Barger joined Scullin (who previously had taken second in the 400 with another freshman record), Tavares and Ashley Bricault to snatch the 4 x 400 relay in 4:22.8.
Taylor Flaxington captured the pole vault (9-6) and Kristen Giarrusso the 200 (27.0) for the Lions.

When I started this daily posting thing, I made a self-imposed rule to post a picture taken the day of the post. Today I'm breaking my own rule, and I'm posting pictures of the new hat pattern!
I've decided to call it the Asheboro Hat, in honor of that city down the road where I'll be attending school come next year. I'll be spending a lot of time in Asheboro! I'm so excited.
I know I've said it already, but the Asheboro Hat is a great knit. Perfect if you're just starting with colorwork! And if you're experienced with two-color knitting, you can knit this hat in a day or two.
We love our new hats! The pattern calls for worsted weight yarn knit at 5.5 sts/inch. I knit ours in Brooklyn Tweed Shelter. It's a great yarn for colorwork, and when you block the hat it's softer than you can imagine! The Child size can will use one skein of Shelter, plus about 20 yards of a contrasting color. For the Adult Medium and Adult Large, you'll need two skeins of Shelter for the main color.
For more pattern details, and to queue, fave or purchase the pattern, please visit the Asheboro Hat page on Ravelry. And because I'm so excited to be releasing a new pattern, through the month of November the pattern will be available for just $3! Woohoo! You'll see the discount when you add the pattern to your cart. Or if you're ready to buy it right this instant, use the link below.
Asheboro Hat – $3 for a limited time only
Thanks so much, everyone! First for reading, but also for the support!

CLEVELAND — A smile creased Kevin Durant's face at the mere mention of the second-year star.
It's not often that happens when Durant discusses opponents.
CLEVELAND — A smile creased Kevin Durant's face at the mere mention of the second-year star.
It's not often that happens when Durant discusses opponents.
But that's the level of admiration the three-time scoring champion has for Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving, the reigning Rookie of the Year who Durant already deems a top-five talent at his position and a player he says he'd pay to see play.
"Everybody can see how exciting he is to watch," Durant said. "His handle, his jump shot, his savvy, his poise, he's just a big-game player."
Durant will lead the Thunder into Cleveland to face Irving and the Cavs on Saturday night inside Quicken Loans Arena. It'll be the second and final meeting between the two teams. The Thunder pummeled Cleveland by 15 points in the first matchup back in Oklahoma City. Irving scored 20 points with four rebounds and five assists in that contest.
On the season, Irving ranks sixth in the league in scoring with a 23.9-point average. He's added 3.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.8 steals.
What's made it even more impressive for Durant is that Irving can't even legally buy an adult beverage until March 23.
"I like young guys, because I was one of those guys, 20 years old trying to establish yourself," Durant said. "And to be an All-Star in your second year, that's stuff that doesn't happen on the regular so I've got a lot of praise for him."
Irving is the sixth-youngest player (20 years, 331 days) in league history to be named to an All-Star team. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, he's one of only seven players in NBA history to be selected before turning 21.
Kobe Bryant (19 years, 169 days) is the youngest All-Star of all time, followed by LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Kevin Garnett and Isaiah Thomas.
The maturity with which Irving plays has forced Durant to take notice.

CHANTILLY, Va. (WUSA9) -- An 8-year-old girl with brain cancer from Chantilly got the surprise of her life today. It's all thanks to a man who knows the toll cancer can take.
Tom Mitchell started StillBrave.org after his daughter Shayla died at age 16 from stage 4 Hodgkin's disease. He now makes it his mission to help children with cancer and their families. His mission today? To make 8-year-old Tara Sankner's dream of being a princess come true. So, to help that along, we're writing this story like a fairy-tale.
Once upon a time in a land not that far away, lived a beautiful princess.
And the sad fact is: the princess is sick.
But this fairy-tale is not about that, it's about Princess Tara's neighbors and friends, and a special Prince Charming bringing her fairy-tale dream to life. Tom Mitchell isn't your average Prince Charming. Tattooed and bald, he may not be who you first think of when you think of an angel, but Tara confided her dream to him just like he was hers. "She says 'you know Tom, my dream is to be a princess' and I said to myself 'I'm gonna make that dream come true.'"
The Prince Charming got all dressed up, brought a horse-drawn carriage to Tara's Chantilly home, and picked up the princess and all her friends for a ride through the streets. Mitchell explained why, "I believe my daughter gave her life, so I could be in the position to help these other children."
Mitchell's organization StilBrave.org helped put together a flash mob of close to a thousand people who lined Route 50 with signs and flowers. Police and firefighters helped keep everyone safe. All of this to surprise their princess for a day. It even surprised the princess' mom Tammy, "It's more than overwhelming, yes.... I'm shocked!"
People cheered and whistled, chanting, "Tara, Tara!" as the princess and her friends enjoyed their carriage ride. When it stopped, Tara enjoyed her second favorite part of the day, feeding the horse it's favorite food, cotton candy.
At first, the surprise overwhelmed the princess, but as the fairy-tale went on, she smiled and took it all in. I asked her, "What does Tom mean to you?" She answered, "He means like a friend, a really good friend."
The truth is we don't know what "happily ever after" will look like for Tara, nor for anyone else who came out to support her for that matter, but we do know she got to be a princess for one day.
The end.

Policy on Intellectual Property
Claremont McKenna College (CMC) encourages the production of creative and scholarly research, works and inventions, known broadly as intellectual property, among faculty, students and staff. The products of this scholarship may create rights and interests on behalf of the creator, author, inventor, public, sponsor and CMC. The purpose of this policy is to support and reward scientific research and scholarship, and help faculty, students and staff identify, protect, and administer intellectual property matters and define the rights and responsibilities of all involved.
1. Application of Policy
The policy applies to works created by all classifications of faculty, staff and students of CMC and to non-employees such as consultants and independent contractors, who create works on behalf of CMC, unless a written agreement exists to the contrary.
2. Identification of Intellectual Property ("Intellectual Property")
Intellectual property shall consist of the following:
(1) Copyrightable material produced from creative and scholarly activity, such as text (manuscripts, manuals, books, and articles); videos and motion pictures; music (sound recordings, lyrics, and scores); images (print, photographs, electronic, and art); and computer software (programs, databases, web pages, and courseware); and
(2) Patentable works such as patents (processes, machines, manufactures, or compositions of matter); devices; and software excluded from copyrighted materials; and
(3) Trademarked materials, such as words, names, symbols or logos, domain names, trade dress, and slogans or any combination of words which has been adopted by CMC to identify itself and to distinguish itself and its sponsorship from others.
(4) Trade Secrets.
3. Ownership and Use
(1) General Rule. Keeping with the view that one of CMC's primary benefits to society is the production of original works by its employees and students, and in order to best encourage such activity, it is the general policy of CMC that Intellectual Property shall be the property of the author or creator. CMC may assert ownership rights to Intellectual Property developed under circumstances set forth further below.
To qualify as "substantial College assistance," the College's participation in or developmental activity leading to intellectual property must be material, significant, and beyond the resources normally provided to individual employees, staff members, and students. Without limiting the foregoing, the College does not regard the College's provision of normal and customary compensation, student financial aid, library resources, office or laboratory facilities, office staff or laboratory support, telecommunications facilities, individual personal computers, and ordinary and reasonable access to the College's computer network and websites or similar College-provided electronic communication tools used for non-commercial scholarly pursuits, as constituting "substantial College assistance."
(2) Patentable Intellectual Property
Responsibility for Disclosure of Patentable Intellectual Property: CMC personnel who alone or in association with other entities create or intend to create patentable subject matter with any use of CMC resources must disclose the matter and obtain prior authorization from the Office of the Dean of the Faculty (or designee). Such disclosure shall be made when it can be reasonably concluded that a patentable subject matter has or will be created, and sufficiently in advance of any publications, presentation, or other public disclosure to allow time for possible action that protects rights to the intellectual property for the creator and CMC. Creators are encouraged to seek the advice of the Dean of the Faculty (or designee) in determining whether the subject matter is patentable or whether CMC desires to pursue patenting the matter. If CMC decides not to invest in a patent application, the faculty member may proceed with no obligation to share resulting income with the College.
Determination of Rights to Patentable Subject Matter: Except as set forth below, the creator of patentable intellectual property shall retain his/her rights, and CMC shall not assert ownership rights. CMC will assert ownership rights to patentable intellectual property developed under any of the following circumstances:
- Development was funded by an externally sponsored research program or by any agreement which allocates rights to CMC.
- Development required substantial use of CMC resources. Participation of students directly in the development, or indirectly through use and feedback that substantively influences development, constitutes significant use of CMC resources.
- The creator was assigned, directed, or specifically funded by CMC to develop the material.
- Material was developed by administrators or staff in the course of employment duties and constitutes work for hire under US law.
(3) Other Intellectual Property
Responsibility for Disclosure of Intellectual Property: In contrast to historical business practice, the tradition of academic institutions is to give faculty members the right to retain ownership of their Intellectual Property. This policy protects that traditional right, and faculty are not obligated to disclose the creation of these materials, even when the product might have commercial value, unless the material was developed under one of the qualifying conditions listed in the next section in which case the creator is responsible for timely disclosure. However, faculty are encouraged to disclose any protectable material that has commercial value to the extent that they may wish assistance in copyright protection and marketing in exchange for profit sharing with CMC. All disclosures should be made to the Office of the Dean of the Faculty.
Determination of Rights to Intellectual Property: Except as set forth below, the creator of Intellectual Property shall retain his/her rights, and CMC shall not assert ownership rights. However, creators will be expected to grant non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual licenses to CMC for Intellectual Property that is developed for CMC courses or curriculum, guaranteeing that CMC has the right to continued use of such material for educational purposes at CMC without charge. CMC may assert ownership rights to Intellectual Property developed under the following circumstances:
- Development was funded as part of an externally sponsored research program under an agreement which allocates rights to CMC.
- A faculty member was assigned, directed, or specifically funded by CMC to develop the material, and CMC has negotiated an understanding or formal contract with the creator.
- Material was developed by administrators or other non-faculty employees in the course of employment duties and constitutes work for hire under US law.
- Development required substantial use of CMC resources. Participation of students directly in the development, or indirectly through use and feedback that substantively influences development, constitutes significant use of CMC resources. Any income from books, papers, or computer programs are assigned in full to faculty members, except that the College may expect that substantial College assistance in developing the material will be reimbursed to the College.
(4) Intellectual Property Developed Under Sponsored Research Agreements
Ownership of Intellectual Property developed pursuant to an agreement with any sponsor will be governed by the provisions of that agreement. Sponsored research programs funded by private sponsors will generally provide for CMC to retain title to all intellectual property that arises in the course of the research program with the sponsor retaining an option to acquire commercialization rights through a separate license agreement. Government and nonprofit sponsors generally allow rights to intellectual property that arises from the research program to vest with CMC, subject to certain retained rights held by the federal government.
(5) Special Agreement
The overriding principle underlying this Intellectual Property Policy is to encourage creativity and inventiveness, so CMC reserves the right to allow some flexibility in applying this policy on a case-by-case basis. In such cases, ownership and use of materials developed pursuant to a special agreement between CMC and the creator/author will be governed by the principles of that agreement.
4. Administration
Office of the Dean of the Faculty: The Policy on Intellectual Property shall be administered by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty and the stated terms and provisions of the policy shall be determined and interpreted by the Dean of the Faculty.
Intellectual Property Review Committee: In implementing this policy, a standing Intellectual Property Review Committee shall (1) review policy provisions from time to time, as needed, with recommendations for change or amendments to the Dean of the Faculty; (2) serve as a non-binding decision-making body in the case of any dispute relating to this policy; (3) review other issues as requested by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty or other interested parties. The Intellectual Property Review committee shall consist of the Dean of the Faculty and four tenured or tenure-track faculty members appointed by the Dean.
Dispute Resolution: In the event a party does not accept the non-binding decision of the Intellectual Property Review Committee with regard to a dispute, that party can request a binding arbitration by a panel of three arbitrators pursuant to, and administered by, the America Arbitration Association. This decision will be final.
Changes to Policy: CMC reserves the right to change this policy from time to time. The Dean of the Faculty will normally consult with the Intellectual Property Review Committee regarding proposed changes to the policy. However, the President has the sole authority to present recommendations to the Board of Trustees for changes to this policy.
5. Royalties
All revenues derived from CMC-owned Intellectual Property including electronic media will be received and administered by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty. For each specific piece of Intellectual Property owned by CMC, costs incurred in the process of perfecting, transferring, and protecting CMC rights to the property paid by CMC will first be deducted from the gross income available before distribution. An accurate accounting of all such costs shall be made available to the author/creator upon request. The distribution of net proceeds (income less all costs including that of an agency engaged to provide patent administration services) that is received from CMC-owned Intellectual Properties shall be shared equally between the creator and CMC absent agreement otherwise. CMC and/or creator may, in appropriate circumstances, take equity positions in companies licensed to market or use Intellectual Property.
6. Use of CMC names/logos
Faculty, staff, and students may use the CMC name and logos to identify themselves (John Doe, Professor of History, Claremont McKenna College). CMC name(s) and logos shall not be used by individuals or entities in a manner that implies institutional endorsement or responsibility for particular activities, products, or publications involved, for commercial purposes, or by any individual or group promoting itself, without the express written permission of the Dean of the Faculty consistent with CMC's Trademark Policy.

Cognitive computing
Cognitive computing systems learn and interact naturally with people to extend what either humans or machine could do on their own. They help human experts make better decisions by penetrating the complexity of Big Data.

Why cognitive systems?
Cognitive Environments
What is cognitive computing?
Artificial intelligence meets business intelligence
Big Data growth is accelerating as more of the world's activity is expressed digitally. Not only is it increasing in volume, but also in speed, variety and uncertainty. Most data now comes in unstructured forms such as video, images, symbols and natural language - a new computing model is needed in order for businesses to process and make sense of it, and enhance and extend the expertise of humans. Rather than being programmed to anticipate every possible answer or action needed to perform a function or set of tasks, cognitive computing systems are trained using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to sense, predict, infer and, in some ways, think.
Systems with domain expertise
Cognitive computing systems get better over time as they build knowledge and learn a domain - its language and terminology, its processes and its preferred methods of interacting. Unlike expert systems of the past which required rules to be hard coded into a system by a human expert, cognitive computers can process natural language and unstructured data and learn by experience, much in the same way humans do. While they'll have deep domain expertise, instead of replacing human experts, cognitive computers will act as a decision support system and help them make better decisions based on the best available data, whether in healthcare, finance or customer service.
Humans and machines working together
In traditional AI, humans are not part of the equation, yet in cognitive computing, humans and machines work together. To enable a natural interaction between them, cognitive computing systems use image and speech recognition as their eyes and ears to understand the world and interact more seamlessly with humans. It provides a feedback loop for machines and humans to learn from and teach one another. By using visual analytics and data visualization techniques, cognitive computers can display data in a visually compelling way that enlightens humans and helps them make decisions based on data.

MORRISTOWN Mares Wares Pottery is hosting its first music event from 2 p.m. until dusk Aug. 30 behind the store at 3938 Route 37.
Mary Ann Evans is known for the Mares Wares Art Festival that she hosts every July, but next week, shes trying something new. The Mares Wares Music and Wine Fest is the first backyard event shes hosted other than the art festival, which shes been holding for the past six years.
I think the people that love the art festival will love any event that I do here, Ms. Evans said.
She said she wanted to offer an alternative for people who drive to Alexandria Bay for its blues weekend.
Its Labor Day weekend, and a lot of people go all the way to Alexandria Bay to get some blues and barbecue, she said. Id like to do it in Morristown.
Musician Patrick C. Duffy, Ogdensburg, will open the festival and play until 3:45 p.m., followed by the Paul Baldwin Blues Band from Syracuse and ending with local band Annie in the Water.
Its good to support the local bands, too, said Brian A. Smith, stage manager for the upcoming event. Its the perfect kickoff for the long weekend, he said.
The barbecue dinner will be catered by Mullins Catering and Takeout, Gouverneur.
Bella-Brooke Vineyard, Hammond, Thousand Islands Winery, Alexandria Bay, and Coyote Moon Vineyards, Clayton, will offer wine tastings at the event.
Im just feeling out the neighborhood to see if it will be successful, Ms. Evans said. Its always best to start out on a small scale if you dont know if it will work.
Ms. Evans has invited 20 artists to set up booths to demonstrate and sell their wares.
Theres no pressure and no commitment with my artists, because I cant guarantee you 2,000 people, she said. I just want to have 400 or 500 people, and Ill be excited.
According to the Mares Wares Facebook page, tickets are $10 for adults and for children 8 ages and older, or $20 per family. People are encouraged to bring lawn chairs.
Parking became a bit troublesome during this years art festival. With more than 2,000 people attending the event, cars lined both sides of the road in front of the property, causing a problem for trucks and large vehicles trying to get by. Although she expects less than half that number of people in attendance next week, Ms. Evans said, she will have designated space on either side of the property for parking.
The property belonged to Ms. Evanss late father, Jim Evans, who built a go-cart track in his backyard in 1958.
Now, Ms. Evans uses the space for her festivals.
Fifty years later, were still entertaining people in our backyard, she said. Dad wouldve been proud.
Depending on the success of this event, Ms. Evans said, she would like to start a weekly music event featuring local and regional bands and musicians.
I feel like theres a niche in Morristown for music events, so next summer my goal is to have open acoustic nights, she said. Well have live performers all summer long and it will be a Mares Wares Backyard Music Series in conjunction with open studios.

Simon announced that Wal-Mart, the nation's largest retailer, will hire every military veteran who wants a job, provided he or she has left the service in the previous 12 months and did not receive a dishonorable discharge. The pledge represents the largest hiring commitment in history for veterans, who have a higher unemployment rate than the rest of the U.S. population. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)

I don't know if this has been posted before, but after the december updates,
it seems to take forever to get into game, it hangs at a grey screen for a bit, then as it gets to the "awaiting connection" bit it takes some time where it's usually instead.
ingame there tends to be some FPS drops as well which is annoying and it's like things don't register correctly anymore. :S

Dune (Dune Chronicles)by Frank Herbert
Staff Pick
I'm sure other Powell's employees have chosen Dune as a staff pick, and for good reason: It's a science fiction classic. It is densely written and almost prophetic in nature. The spice, and the desert wars over it, sound so very much like our current situation regarding oil in the Middle East. Tinged with the supernatural, filled with believable characters, and laced with the very spice it is about, this book is an unparalleled work of science fiction. Herbert manages to create a whole new and possible galaxy. The only thing holding Dune back from "graduating" to the literature sections of bookstores is that it is too much a science fiction novel, though I feel it is as well written as any piece of great literature. I recommend this to any and all readers (even those who despise science fiction). I believe it should fall into the same category as 1984, The Great Gatsby, or To Kill a Mockingbird: a classic.

Set on the desert planet Arakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Muad'Dib. He would avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family — and would bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream. A blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.

Frank Herbert's Hugo and Nebula Award winner celebrates 40 years with this new anniversary edition. The sweeping tale of a desert planet called Arrakis, "Dune" has been a favorite among sci-fi fans for decades.
About the Author
Frank Herbert (1920-1986) created the most beloved novel in the annals of science fiction, Dune. He was a man of many facets, of countless passageways that ran through an intricate mind. His magnum opus is a reflection of this, a classic work that stands as one of the most complex, multi-layered novels ever written in any genre. Today the novel is more popular than ever, with new readers continually discovering it and telling their friends to pick up a copy. It has been translated into dozens of languages and has sold almost 20 million copies.
Series Description
Although nearly forty years have passed since Frank Herbert wrote his first Dune novel, the sands of time have not diminished the impact this powerful and groundbreaking epic has had on the evolution of SF — and millions of readers.
In 2002, Frank Herbert's son Brian Herbert and fellow author Kevin J. Anderson teamed up to write Legends of Dune, a trilogy of prequels to Frank Herbert's saga that bring to life the long-ago war frequently referred to in the elder Herbert's novels — a war in which humans wrested their freedom from "thinking machines." Based in part on Frank Herbert's unpublished notes, the novels detail the century-long conflict, as well as the original breach that formed the deadly feud between House Atreides and House Harkonnen.
The first two novels, Dune: The Butlerian Jihad (Tor 2003) and Dune: The Machine Crusade (Tor August 2004), were published to wide acclaim and hit bestsellers lists across the country, including: The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, Publishers Weekly, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, and The Chicago Sun-Times.
Now, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson bring us the thrilling conclusion to Legends of Dune, with Dune: The Battle of Corrin, a fast-paced, thought-provoking adventure where, in the greatest battle in science fiction history, human and machine face off one last time...

Civil Service Employees Association local 423 has promised more financial support to the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center Task Force as it fights the planned closure of inpatient facilities in Ogdensburg.
President Ronnie D. Freeman, who represents CSEA members at the psychiatric center, said the union will pay for another batch of lawn signs that will be used to demonstrate community opposition to the plan by the state Office of Mental Health.
The union had previously given the task force $5,000 for signs and t-shirts, and Mr. Freeman said at Tuesdays task force meeting that they are willing to put forward nearly $2,000 more.
Secretary to the City Manager and Mayor Coralee Barrett said, We really need signs because people are asking for them and we are completely out.
The Ogdensburg City Managers office has been the distribution point for the lawn signs, which have been given out for free.
Ogdensburg City Manager John M. Pinkerton said the next batch of signs will have to be of especially good quality in order to withstand the winter.
Roughly 500 signs have already been distributed across the north country.
The task force is currently pricing the next batch of signs and determining how many they will order.
Mr. Freeman said he recently attended the annual CSEA Delegates Meeting in Lake Placid and was able to collect $1,000 in donations to help fight the closure of the psychiatric center while there.
That was in an hour, Mr. Freeman said of the collection, adding that he sold t-shirts and passed out informational pamphlets about the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center as well.
Mr. Freeman said his colleges in CSEA pledged to have their members turn up if the task force decides to bring their message to Albany and hold a rally in the spring.
Theyre going to show up for SLPC, Mr. Freeman said.
