It's a summer day in 1994. I see smoke drift lazily toward the pale blue sky, its woody aroma penetrating the house. Looking out the kitchen windows, I watch my husband clear some of the acreage that will be our back yard.
Bill drags a tree limb toward the fire. Carrying a small branch in its mouth, a stray dog follows close behind. It places the limb beside the fire and follows Bill back to retrieve more brush. We had heard about a mutt that helped neighbors clean the creek after a hard rain. It had to be the same dog. Like hobos of yesteryear, this dog believed in working for handouts. The stray had been sleeping on a back porch at the foot of the hill and each morning the woman gave it a biscuit, its food for the day.
I watch the dog leave as Bill enters the house. A few days later, he's back. Our toddler grandson is playing in the front yard when he falls and cries. The medium-sized dog goes to him. Our grandson stops crying and puts his arm around the dog. They lean toward each other, and our grandson laughs. Bill says, "We're going to keep him." That's how the dog with one blue eye, one brown eye and short hair with large gray spots on a white background became a member of our family. Our neighbor said he was the ugliest dog she had ever seen.
He had ear mites, worms and fleas aplenty — all parasites that torment homeless dogs. The vet neutered him and made sure he was rid of all the parasites. We named him Freddie Flealoader. He learned quickly there were things he could not do in the house, but he had a sneaky streak. He slept on the couch when we were gone and jumped down when he heard our car engine. No one's perfect, but Freddie came close.
Our daughter had a hound named Copper. When Freddie escaped, he and Copper could be heard late in the night yapping and running through the woods. As time marched relentlessly forward, Copper died, and we all grew older. Our three grandsons became young men. Sleeping soundly, Freddie would move his feet, surely dreaming of running through the woods with Copper. Then, he had a stroke, but the vet injected a drug, and he survived. During his last year, Dr. Tammy Barickman at Ripley Paws Veterinary Clinic removed a large malignant growth from his mouth and removed all the infection. He had a wonderful last month of chasing his tail and enjoying life. By that time, he was more than a hundred years old in human years, but he was still amazing.
In the early morning Sept. 21, 2013, I discovered Freddie had experienced a terrible night. I took him to the yard. His back legs were weak. When he stepped upon the wooden walk leading to the deck, he couldn't navigate the first step. Having been a reasonable fellow all his life, he simply lay down on the walk. I removed the leash, came in the house to tell Bill, and then I called Risa Mellert, our daughter. It was 7 a.m., and I knew I had awakened her. She and Don, nonetheless, rushed to our house within 10 minutes.
Ripley Paws didn't open until 9 a.m. on Saturdays, so we assembled our lawn chairs around Freddie and drank mugs of coffee and tea. Wagging his tail, Freddie looked up at me as if to say I know you can fix it. A cataract had covered his brown eye, and his blue eye was partially covered. He liked nothing better than being near his family, so he was content. Freddie's incredible age could not be reversed. I couldn't fix it.
The dreaded time arrived, and Risa wrapped a towel around Freddie. Don, our son-in-law, gently picked him up and placed him in the back of their SUV. Rain was beginning to come down hard and by the time they reached the vet's office, it was a torrent. Still, Anita, an assistant at Ripley Paws, came out to the vehicle and injected a sedative. She was drenched by the time she re-entered the office. That's dedication.
As I write this, Freddie has been gone three days. He rests in our pet cemetery in the same yard where he carried branches to the fire with Bill 19 years ago. The hair balls have been vacuumed, the countless white hairs on the deck have been swept away, the soiled memory-foam bed has been trashed, but Freddie lives on in our memories.
His barks at strangers, at grasshoppers, at deer — they will echo through time. His wagging tail, his quick snap when offered food, his devil-dog eyes, his hair falling onto the floor with his slightest movement — they will stay with us, for our loved ones who are gone, nonetheless, live on in our memories.

Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney by Robert Henri, 1916.
The vibrant colors in this painting act as an homage to the kind of woman Gertrude Vanderbilt was.
She started the Whitney Museum as a way to preserve American contemporary artists of her time. During the early 20th century, it was almost impossible for artists with new ideas to get noticed. Gertrude felt it was her responsibility to make sure the art of her time wasn't lost.
There are rumors that her husband at the time, would not allow her to hang this painting because she was wearing pants.

MONDAY, June 13 (HealthDay News) -- Potiga (ezogabine) tablets
have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to
treat partial epileptic seizures in adults, the agency said
Partial seizures are the most common seizure in people who have
epilepsy, the FDA said in a news release. The agency said Potiga is
the first among a class of drugs called neueronal potassium channel
openers to be sanctioned for epilepsy in the United States.
Potiga may cause "neuro-psychiatric symptoms, including
confusion, hallucinations and psychotic symptoms," which usually
subside within seven days of stopping the drug, the FDA said.
Potiga may also lead to urinary retention, or difficulty fully
emptying the bladder.
And as is the case with other antiepileptic drugs, the agency
said Potiga "may also cause suicidal thoughts or actions in a very
small number of people." Those taking the drug should contact a
physician if they have thoughts of suicide or dying, or worsening
symptoms of anxiety or depression, the FDA warned.
Potiga was developed by North Carolina-based Valeant
Pharmaceuticals North America, and will be distributed by
GlaxoSmithKline, based in Research Triangle, N.C.

The Master Architect and His Restaurateur Wife Welcome Us into Their Converted Georgian London Townhouse
Ruth Rogers jokes that her husband, whose accomplishments include Centre Pompidou, Lloyds of London and The Millennium Dome, took a house and turned it into a barn. Yet extraordinarily, the exterior of the building is an archetypal Georgian terrace; a resplendent facade in London brick with uniform windows and smart stucco. From the street there is no hint of the vertiginous staircase that zigzags through the air of the dramatic living space inside. "A room is the beginning of a city," says Rogers and there are plenty of nods towards his architectural preoccupations. An industrial palette of natural light and acid-bright color is everywhere. Even the window-box geraniums are a signature pink. A column of Mao Zedong portraits courtesy of Andy Warhol, works by Cy Twombly and a fine collection of Philip Gustons are displayed alongside Mexican craft art and clusters of elegant ceramic vessels made by Richard's mother. That the Rogers refer to the living space as a "piazza" is significant; the communal spirit of Italy, and in particular Florence where Richard was born, is an enduring influence on them both.

Japan's Polka-Dot Pioneer on a Life at the Mercy of Her Art
"She says that if she doesn't paint she wouldn't exist," says Martín Rietti of his latest subject, 84-year-old Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. "Her work has an authenticity that I don't often see in contemporary art." The Argentinian director visited Kusama at her studio in Tokyo ahead of her latest show that opens at the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, curated by Deputy Chief Curator of MALBA, Philip Larratt-Smith, and Francis Morris, who curated her retrospective at the Tate in 2012. This first major retrospective in Latin America opens tomorrow before traveling to four other cities in South and Central America over the next year and a half. It leads the viewer through over 100 works created between 1950 and the present day, spanning her early period in Japan, 15-year stint in New York where she befriended fellow artists Georgia O'Keeffe, Donald Judd and Joseph Cornell, and her return to Tokyo, where she has been living voluntarily in a psychiatric clinic since 1977. "Her work is not only a revelation of her inner psychic reality but also a sort of time capsule of the emancipatory and utopian moment of the late 1960s," says Larratt-Smith. "She is a very seductive person, secretive and charming. When she speaks the obsessive cast of her mind becomes immediately clear: she talks in circles, often repeating the same thing many times. It is clear that she has deep psychic wounds, but also that her work sustains her and keeps her going."
A Day at the Bon Vivant's Ettore Sottsass-Designed Pop Paradise
Entrepreneur, art collector, snapshot photographer, and streetwear designer Jean Pigozzi lives large, as filmmaker Matthew Donaldson discovered at Villa Dorane, Pigozzi's residence-slash-playground in the jetset Cap d'Antibes. The villa is a monumental testament to his long-term collaboration with late Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass, who played a significant role in the design of Pigozzi's seven homes. He inherited the house, built in 1953 by neo-classical architect Tomaso Buzzi, from his father Henri–who founded Simca cars–but it was postmodernist Sottsass who "pimped it out." A member of the Memphis Group, Sottsass' playful provocations are evident in the clash of off-kilter geometric furnishings and flamboyant colors, accessorized by Baluchi carpets, kitschy ceramics, and giddy light fixtures. "Ettore would say it was boring to have a normal house, you have to change things around all the time. He was not scared of funny colors and funny things," says Pigozzi. The jubilant décor is enhanced by pieces from Pigozzi's extensive African art collection, including photographs by Malick Sidibé and an entrance hall hand-painted in bold motifs by Esther Mahlangu with her trademark chicken-feather brush. Around the hall's perimeter stand four life-size sculptures of notable R&B singers, including Aretha Franklin, by Ivory Coast artist Nicolas Damas—Pigozzi jokingly calls them his "cousins." Sottsass makes his biggest impact here with the guest quarters, a blocky architectural feat in multiple shades of green paint and even greener balustrades, the interior kitted out with boxy sofas, chairs and beds in hues reminiscent of 80s-era Esprit fashion. Though the pair would collaborate on every aspect of the design, shapes and colors were strictly down to Sottsass. "He was a complete genius [at those]," says Pigozzi. Villa Dorane attracts a steady stream of "friends, venture capitalists and pretty girls" and Pigozzi's annual Festival de Cannes party is the stuff of legend. "My main idol in life is Howard Hughes," he says. "I like how he lived all alone with airplanes and girls, but on the other hand I'm a social animal."

Drivers on Arlington Blvd. in Greenville will soon get a train-track break.
The railroad crossing near J.H. Rose High School has a tendency to cause some irritating traffic backups. Conductors switch train cars there and it often stops traffic – usually when you're in a hurry.
The first thought that pops into ECU student LeeAnn Conyers' mind is: "Why me? Just why?"
"For decades the big excuse when you're late for a meeting or work is 'I got stuck by the train on Arlington and Evans!" says Mayor Allen Thomas.
Every day more than 50,000 drivers cross these tracks where CSX freight trains often block the road for up to 30 minutes at a time.
"The longest I've waited at a train was about 25 minutes," says Kia McKinney, an ECU student who lives near the tracks. "And that was on the bus on the way to class so I was late."
On one of the busiest roads in the city, it doesn't take long for traffic to back up all the way to the Evans Street intersection.
Mayor Thomas says it isn't just an inconvenience, but a threat to public safety.
"We're a major medical city and when your city is literally cut in half because of back-ups for train activity, ambulances and medical care becomes an issue," he says.
For nearly a decade city leaders like him have worked to find a solution. Their ideas will finally come to fruition in two weeks when the Dept. of transportation moves the CSX switching yard to Staton Mill Road north of the city.
"90 percent of our switchyard traffic which was happening in Greenville will now happen out in the northern Pitt area," Mayor Thomas says.
Which means you're going to have to find another excuse next time you're late for work.

Eighty juniors from around Europe participated. Taking part for the first time was Kim Cauchi of the Marsa Sports Club, photo, in the girls' under-13 category. In the quarter-final against Caroline Bacha (France) Kim soon settled into her rhythm and controlled the game from the very first point. Bacha was clearly unsettled by Kim's high level of consistency and was unable to compete with the Maltese youngster's power and control. An impressive 3-0 victory was the final result. In the semifinals, Kim continued her good form with a dominating 3-0 victory over Laura Crabbe (Belgium) to reach her first European ranking tournament final. The final saw Kim come up against top seed Gabi Fritsche (Netherlands). Gabi is the present number 16 in the girls under-13 European junior rankings and on paper was the clear tournament favourite. Kim however had other ideas. Accompanied in Luxembourg by her coach Paul Lake, Kim prepared meticulously and started the first game with a clear game plan racing to a 9-0 lead before Gabi could manage to find any sort of length or rhythm. By then, Kim's confidence was sky-high and she managed to close out the first game with two excellently timed forehand dropshots. The second game was extremely tight. The two youngsters exchanged shot for shot with both playing some excellent controlled squash. The more experienced Fritsche increased the tempo and forced Kim into rushing some easy shots and so producing some simple mistakes. At 9-9 Kim managed to regain her composure and find that extra touch playing two un-retrievable forehand crosscourts to take the second game 11-9 and a 2-0 lead. In the third game Kim was not about to let Gabi back into the match and with a very composed and powerful display took the final set 11-1 and so the match and title back home to Malta. Kim is supported by the Marsa Sports Club, coached by Paul Lake, sponsored by Wilson, and is a member of the Marsa Sports Club Junior Squash Development Programme.

Police have rescued a woman who jumped into the East River near the Manhattan Bridge.
It happened near Pike Street around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday on the lower Eastside.
The NYPD's emergency service unit responded and swam out about 30 feet to the woman, who was floating under the bridge.
They pulled her aboard an NYPD Harbor Launch Boat.
The 49-year-old woman was transported to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition. Police say she was being evaluated as an emotionally disturbed person.

We all know we should eat healthy, but what does that mean really? FOX 9 Fitness Expert Ali Holman from CoreCamper.com stopped by to show us her TOP FIVE FIT FOODS that are must-haves in your kitchen.
To find out more about Ali's Online Workouts & Meal Plans, visit CoreCamper.com
Ali's TOP FIVE "FIT FOODS"
Avocado: It gets a bad rap for being fatty, but an avocado's monounsaturated fats actually help lower cholesterol. Use it as a mayo substitute next time you're making lunch, or dice one up and top your breakfast omelet. You're getting 2 grams of fiber and 90 calories in 2 1-ounce slices.
Tomato: Tomato is loaded with lycopene, which helps prevent prostate cancer. You also get a hefty portion of vitamin C and potassium, with 2 grams of fiber and just 26 calories. The beneficial properties of tomatoes are better absorbed when cooked; the cell structure is destroyed by the heat and it releases the antioxidant. Raw tomatoes are going to give you a little bit more fiber, while the cooked kind will yield more lycopene and vitamins. Bottom line: You can't go wrong either way!
Blueberries: A cup of this superfruit contains only 84 calories, and it has 4 grams of fiber and is chock-full of antioxidants that help prevent cancer and heart disease. Blueberries have one of the highest antioxidant scores of all the berries and they rate as one of the top fruits overall. In two recent studies, blueberries appeared to help lab animals build strong bones and to inhibit the formation of fat cells. Mix with Non-Fat Greek Yogurt for a Power snack!
Sweet Potato: In a 3/4 cup serving you get 31 grams of good carbs, 5 grams of fiber, and over 17,000 micrograms of cancer-fighting beta-carotene. They are great mashed or baked – put a tsp of butter a sprinkle of cinnamon for an amazing side dish.
Almonds: Some people think they should avoid almonds because they are so calorie- dense – 140 calories for 20 almonds. But the monounsaturated fats in almonds are a great way to ensure heart health. Per serving, they also have about 3 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein. Ali's Tip: Take 2 parts RAW almonds, 1 part SALTED. Put in a Ziploc and shake up!

CHICAGO (AP) -- Bud Norris pitched six shutout innings, Jason Castro homered and the Houston Astros beat the Chicago Cubs 3-0 Tuesday night in a matchup of 100-loss teams. The season-ending series between NL Central clubs marks the first meeting of 100-loss teams in the majors since 1962, when the Cubs played the New York Mets. Houston (55-106) threw its third straight shutout and won for the fifth time in six games. The Astros have already matched last year's franchise-worst loss total with one game left. Norris (7-13) scattered four hits and won back-to-back starts for the first time since May. Norris pitched out of several sticky situations. He put runners in scoring position with less than two out in four consecutive innings but didn't allow any runs to cross home. Norris struck out Luis Valbuena and Welington Castillo with runners on second and third to end a fourth-inning threat. The 27-year-old endured a 19-start winless stretch before winning his last two. Four Astros relievers held the Cubs hitless over the final three innings. Wilton Lopez worked the ninth for his 10th save in 13 chances. Jordan Lyles tossed a complete game at Milwaukee on Sunday and Lucas Harrell and three relievers combined to blank the Cubs on Monday. Chris Volstad (3-12) took the loss for the Cubs, who fell to 60-101. Castro hit his sixth homer of the year, sending a solo shot into the right-field bleachers with two outs in the second inning. Justin Maxwell reached on shortstop Starlin Castro's 27th blunder of the year following the home run, and came around to score on Tyler Greene's RBI single. Volstad was otherwise effective, striking out six and walking none in seven innings. He had gone eight innings over his previous two starts without striking out a batter. Astros pinch-hitter Brian Bogusevic walked and scored on Alberto Cabrera's wild pitch to add an insurance run in the eighth. The Cubs were blanked for the 16th time this season. It's the second time they have been shutout in back-to-back games, the other instance coming July 21-22 at St. Louis. NOTES: Astros OF Scott Moore left in the second when he was hurt diving for Castro's shallow popup. The team announced irritation in the AC joint in his left shoulder. ... Astros 2B Jose Altuve left in the fifth with discomfort in his left groin. ... The Astros start Edgar Gonzalez (3-1, 4.15 ERA) on Wednesday in their final game as a National League team. Travis Wood (6-13, 4.39) goes for Chicago. ... Astros interim manager Tony DeFrancesco said he hopes to remain with the team in some capacity after the season. The team has already chosen Washington Nationals third-base coach Bo Porter the manager for 2013. "This has been a very special chapter," DeFrancesco said.

Delta To Shed Saabs, EAS Routes
In an effort to halt $14 million in annual losses, Delta Air Lines plans to "adjust" flying in 24 markets in concert with the retirement of its Saab 340 turboprop fleet.
The airline said that load factors average 52 percent on the flights in the markets in question, flown primarily by regional subsidiary Mesaba Airlines, while some, it added, had fallen to as low as 12 percent. Delta registered a system-wide load factor of 83 percent last year.
Delta previously announced its intention to reduce capacity this fall by 4 percent and retire 140 aircraft.
Delta notified the DOT last month of its intention to exit 16 Essential Air Service markets, starting a 90-day period during which the other airlines may bid to serve the affected the communities. Delta said it has talked with other carriers about assuming responsibility for some of the routes, while it intends to continue to serve certain subsidized and non-subsidized markets with larger regional jets flown by Delta Connection partners.

Nitpick: Invisible Walls
[Continued] Page 2
I'm wondering to myself the reason as to why the heck they show an area that is inaccessible, especially when it's so freaking tangible to the one I'm exploring. If I can see it I should be able to get there unless some physical disability doesn't allow my character to go there. It just doesn't make sense, right? It's not just this game though. There are plenty of other games that do this too. I was playing Diablo III earlier today and while I was exploring there was a door right below the corridor I was walking through. The only thing stopping me from jumping off of the corridor to the exit below was a railing. Or so I thought. Of course there's an invisible wall that prevents me from falling down a whole floor. Sure you can make some logical sense and try to think of excuses such as, "Your character would probably injure himself trying to jump from there" or "It's not in-character for your Barbarian to do that."
Another instance of an invisible wall I found particularly annoying in Diablo III was jumping across chasms. Sometimes I wound find a large crater that I can't get past because obviously the game doesn't want me falling into it. However, as a Demon Hunter I have a special ability that allows me to jump large distances. The hilarious thing is that I can't use that skill to jump over that hole. What the heck? Come on, I'm all for common sense and everything but in this day and age, that's pretty inexcusable! Why would you implement a game that way!
I'd hate to beat on Tales of Graces f anymore than I already have but this truly boggles my mind. There are certain dungeons that prevent me from accessing grounds that are not level with the one you're on. This means that you can be walking along perfectly fine but suddenly stopped when the ground suddenly drops a level equivalent to one single step of a staircase. What...?! The game then nonchalantly goes onto make you activate a mechanism that will elevate the floor for mere inches so you can proceed. Seriously game developers, what are you thinking? If you're going to make an invisible wall at least make it so it doesn't test my patience, and intelligence. You could've easily made it so it's not mere inches but a few dozen feet. That way it makes sense why there's an invisible wall there!
While I've nitpicked the entire time about explicit invisible walls, there are some plus sides. For games like Starcraft II and League of Legends, it makes sense to have them. There are plenty of ledges in these games and honestly units should be able to climb down from these ledges but they're not able to. Instead, the method of travel is limited because traversing over ledges and such is a special ability therefore creating a strategic environment in the game. For this reason it can actually enhance the game.
So there are some great uses of invisible walls; after all, I made it clear how invisible walls enhance immersion and add strategic elements to the gameplay. However, even so, it baffles me how explicit invisible walls exist today. Sure it's a nitpicky detail in the grand scheme of things but game developers should strive to better deliverer an awesome experience, one that doesn't break the immersion.

Factor Investigation: Ex-Obama Official Running Sandra Fluke
By Bill O'Reilly As we reported last night "The Factor" believes that the Sandra Fluke contraception controversy was manufactured to divert attention away from the Obama administration's disastrous decision to force Catholic non-profit organizations to provide insurance coverage for birth control and the morning after pill. That might very well be unconstitutional. Anyway, we're having trouble tracking down just who is sending Sandra around to the media. It's very strange. So far, the 30-year-old activist has appeared on eight national news programs where she was not challenged at all. Last week, we called Sandra on her cell phone and invited her on "The Factor." She didn't call back, very unusual. There was no other public contact for the woman, just her cell phone.

President Obama in a video released by the White House on Saturday announced that he would release his much-anticipated plan to combat climate change Tuesday, looking to press forward on a second-term promise to significantly reduce carbon emissions.
"In my inaugural address, I pledged that America would respond to the growing threat of climate change for the sake of our children and future generations," Obama said in the video, previewing his remarks. "This Tuesday at Georgetown University, I'll lay out my vision for where I believe we need to go."
Obama called warming temperatures "a serious challenge" but one "unique suited to America's strengths," saying the United States would lay the foundation for a global, "clean-energy economy."
He added, "There's no single step that we can take to reverse the effects of climate change, but when it comes to the world we leave our children, we owe it to them to do what we can."
Obama did not get into the specifics of his climate blueprint, but his framework will include tighter rules for power plants, a push for more energy-efficient buildings and appliances and additional green energy development on public lands, a White House official said.
With little appetite for climate-change legislation in the Republican-controlled House, Obama will rely on his Environmental Protection Agency to implement stricter green regulations, including on existing power plants.
Obama has faced mounting pressure from environmentalists to focus on climate change after largely ignoring the issue in his first term. At the same time, Obama is weighing whether to block the Keystone Pipeline, which would carry oil from Canada to Gulf Coast refineries.

By LARRY LAGEAP Sports WriterDETROIT (AP) - Justin Tucker's powerful leg kicked the Super Bowl champions into playoff gear.Tucker made six field goals, including a franchise-record 61-yarder with 38 seconds left that lifted the Baltimore Ravens to an 18-16 win over the Detroit Lions in a Monday night matchup with major postseason implications.Ravens coach John Harbaugh chose to let Tucker try the longest kick of his career - by 5 yards - instead of going for it on fourth-and-8 from the Detroit 43."If they send me out there, they have reason to," Tucker said. "It's because they think I can make the kick."Rookie safety Matt Elam sealed the victory with an interception - Matthew Stafford's third of the night - after raising eyebrows during the week by calling 28-year-old Calvin Johnson "pretty old" and saying the plan was to make the star receiver uncomfortable by getting physical with him.Stafford threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Fauria with 2:21 left, putting Detroit up 16-15. But the Lions were unable to make a 2-point conversion and couldn't prevent Baltimore from setting up its sensational kicker for his 33rd successful field goal in a row.Tucker's kick went just inside the right upright and barely had enough distance - eight days after Denver's Matt Prater broke the NFL record with a 64-yard field goal."I definitely felt like I got a lot of leg into it, but it jumped up so high I thought I might have gotten under it," said Tucker, who mentioned in a television interview right after the game that his six field goals also benefited his fantasy football team.Tucker, who hasn't missed a field goal attempt since he was 0 for 2 in Week 2 at Cleveland, has the NFL's longest streak since Matt Stover made 36 in a row for the Ravens from 2005-06, according to STATS."What can you say about Justin Tucker?" Harbaugh said. "When we got the ball there, I think at the 45-yard line, I said, 'Hey, are we kicking this?' ... He said, 'I got it.'"Detroit (7-7) has hurt its playoff chances by losing four of its last five, falling out of sole possession of first place in the NFC North to third place behind the division-leading Chicago Bears and Green Bay."This is a setback, no question," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. "We had control and now we need help. We have to get two wins and let the rest shake out."Stafford's three interceptions followed a troubling trend for the franchise.He has 12 interceptions in his last five games. Not coincidently, the Lions have been able to overcome those miscues well enough to win only one game during the slump.Joe Flacco, meanwhile, didn't turn the ball over and made enough subtle moves in and around the pocket to get sacked only once. He has been sacked a career-high 42 times this season, but he stayed upright enough to move the ball into position for Tucker's big kick.Flacco was 20 of 38 for 222 yards, including a 27-yard pass to Jacoby Jones to convert a third-and-15 from the Baltimore 28 on the game-winning drive. Jones had six receptions for 80 yards, and returned Detroit's last kick to the Baltimore 33.Stafford was 18 of 34 for 235 yards with a TD and three interceptions - increasing his five-game total to 10 - for a season-low 48 quarterback rating."This was certainly not my best game," he acknowledged.Johnson had six receptions for 98 yards and dropped two possibly pivotal passes thrown his way in the first half."We just put every guy on him to try to stop him," Elam said. "It was no disrespect meant to Calvin. He's the best in the league, so why would I challenge him? Words just got stirred up."The Lions started strong, with Reggie Bush running for a 14-yard touchdown on the opening drive.Detroit, though, got in its own way as it often has this year.Johnson dropped a pass that would've converted a third-and-15 deep in Ravens territory.On the ensuing drive, Tucker kicked his first of three field goals in the first half - two of which were set up by penalties against Detroit.Tucker's next field goal was set up by a pass-interference call against safety Don Carey.Johnson couldn't catch another pass in Baltimore territory thrown at him late in the first half.The Ravens took advantage of that mistake and one by Detroit's defense on the next drive.Flacco threw an up-for-grabs pass on third-and-8 from the Lions 44 after avoiding a sack, and the incomplete pass was negated by Louis Delmas' helmet-to-helmet hit on Marlon Brown with 16 seconds left in the first half. That flag put the Ravens 15 yards closer to Tucker's field goal that gave Baltimore a 9-7 lead at halftime.Detroit drove to the Ravens 31 on its first possession of the second half, but Stafford threw a pass behind Bush that was picked off by defensive end DeAngelo Tyson.Baltimore went ahead 12-7 on the next drive on Tucker's 49-yard field goal midway through the third quarter.The Lions scored on the ensuing drive - on David Akers' 40-yard kick - for the first time since the opening minutes of the game. The field goal came after Stafford's pass into the end zone fell incomplete. A replay showed Detroit receiver Kris Durham had his arm held on the play by Lardarius Webb, but there was no penalty flag for pass interference.Tucker's 53-yard field goal - matching his previous season high - put the Ravens ahead 15-10 with 8:06 left.Detroit responded with its best drive since its first one. The Lions might have caught a break from the officials when Brandon Pettigrew's catch was upheld after review.NOTES: Tucker's 56-yard field goal last year - as an undrafted rookie - matched the previous franchise record set by Wade Richey in 2003. ...

Seizure (cont.)
In this Article
Febrile Seizures
Sometimes a child will have a seizure during the course of an illness with a high fever. These seizures are called febrile seizures (febrile is derived from the Latin word for "fever") and can be very alarming to the parents and other caregivers. In the past, doctors usually prescribed a course of anticonvulsant drugs following a febrile seizure in the hope of preventing epilepsy. However, most children who have a febrile seizure do not develop epilepsy, and long-term use of anticonvulsant drugs in children may damage the developing brain or cause other detrimental side effects. Experts at a 1980 consensus conference coordinated by the National Institutes of Health concluded that preventive treatment after a febrile seizure is generally not warranted unless certain other conditions are present: a family history of epilepsy, signs of nervous system impairment prior to the seizure, or a relatively prolonged or complicated seizure. The risk of subsequent non-febrile seizures is only 2 to 3 percent unless one of these factors is present.
Researchers have now identified several different genes that influence the risk of febrile seizures in certain families. Studying these genes may lead to new understanding of how febrile seizures occur and perhaps point to ways of preventing them.
Nonepileptic Events
Sometimes people appear to have seizures, even though their brains show no seizure activity. This type of phenomenon has various names, including nonepileptic events and pseudoseizures. Both of these terms essentially mean something that looks like a seizure but isn't one. Nonepileptic events that are psychological in origin may be referred to as psychogenic seizures. Psychogenic seizures may indicate dependence, a need for attention, avoidance of stressful situations, or specific psychiatric conditions. Some people with epilepsy have psychogenic seizures in addition to their epileptic seizures. Other people who have psychogenic seizures do not have epilepsy at all. Psychogenic seizures cannot be treated in the same way as epileptic seizures. Instead, they are often treated by mental health specialists.
Other nonepileptic events may be caused by narcolepsy, Tourette syndrome, cardiac arrythmia, and other medical conditions with symptoms that resemble seizures. Because symptoms of these disorders can look very much like epileptic seizures, they are often mistaken for epilepsy. Distinguishing between true epileptic seizures and nonepileptic events can be very difficult and requires a thorough medical assessment, careful monitoring, and knowledgeable health professionals. Improvements in brain scanning and monitoring technology may improve diagnosis of nonepileptic events in the future.

The Women's Wellness Connection (WWC) program partners with the American Cancer Society (ACS) for a toll-free, bilingual referral line that connects clients to over 120 screening providers across the state. When individuals call either the statewide or local numbers, they speak directly with a trained call-center staff that screen them for eligibility, locate an appropriate WWC location and directly connect the clients with the clinic so appointments can be set up right away (what is otherwise called a "warm transfer"). The referral line may be able to provide information on other screening programs for women ineligible for WWC.

text: Orchard Park, NY (WGR 550) -- Since the start of the regular season, the Buffalo Bills have been taking a wait-and-see approach when it comes to franchised safety Jairus Byrd. Stricken by plantar fasciitis in both feet, Byrd was designated as 'questionable' for the Week Three contest against the New York Jets, an upgrade from the 'doubtful' tag he held for each of the first two weeks. "We all understand it is a condition. It's a condition that he's working extremely hard to get better, and it is getting better," head coach Doug Marrone said on Friday. "It's always going to be tough for me because I think it's going to be one of those points where when he says 'I'm ready to go,' he's going to go. So I don't want to misinterpret where he's at." All Byrd has been able to do in practice through the first three weeks has been doing some work with the scout team during positional drills. The safety has been labeled as a limited participant in all nine sessions, without taking many meaningful reps during the workouts at One Bills Drive. Marrone said Byrd will make the trip to New Jersey and be with the team, just in case Byrd is ready to play. The coach said there has been some progress in the safety's condition. The upcoming game against the Jets is the first road test of the season for the Bills. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 pm at MetLife Stadium between the pair of 1-1 teams. Twitter: @JoeBuscaglia

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 9 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Coach Smith Give them some time! I ordered 20 pair for my 7th and 8th grade Girl's Basketball team and they were stiff the first couple of wears. The girls are starting to break them in and they are more comfortable. Here are some of their responses: "They look great!" "Very responsive off of the floor and on cuts." "Lightest shoe I've worn." They are narrow, but the size is pretty true. If you want a cheap, but reliable women's shoe, look no further. September 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by jmi504 great product for the price Bought for my 10 year old daughter who is playing basketball. Sizing is perfect. She has been wearing them on the court for several weeks and really likes them. Cost was $40 online and we got free shipping. September 4, 2014

This is the first shoe that didn't give her blisters when breaking in. She wore them for a scrimmage the day she got them and was very happy. She usually has trouble with sore feet during her season and has not had any problems with these shoes. November 26, 2012

Generated knowledge is usually communicated and used in practice to solve real life problems. Effective new approaches and methods are continuously emerging. Implicit or explicit management is usually required for knowledge generation/creation, communication, and application. Knowledge management requires as well knowledge generation and/or communication, i.e. meta-knowledge regarding knowledge management, which has explicitly been addressed on the organizational level in academy and Industry. These three knowledge's dimensions are highly related among each other.
Information and communications Technologies are increasingly supporting the effectiveness and the efficiency on knowledge generation, communication and management, as well as the relationships among them, and the new effective approaches and methods that are emerging. Consequently, a main purpose of KGCM 2013 is to bring together researchers, professionals, academics, consultants and practitioners related 1) to any of these three areas, 2) to any of the contemporary approaches/methods, and 3) to the conception, design and/or implementation of systems, tools and technologies oriented to support knowledge generation, communications and/or management.
Since one of the main purposes of the International Institute of Informatics and Systemics (IIIS) is fostering knowledge integration via different means as, for example, 1) interdisciplinary research, education, and/or communication, 2) integrating academic activities and 3) promoting events on approaches/methods oriented to this kind of integration as, for example, "Case Studies and Methodologies, Action-Research, Action-Learning, Action-Design/implementation, etc.
Consequently, submissions with regards to relationships between and among the mentioned three areas (Figure 1) and the approaches/methods being used (Figure 2), are specifically encouraged. The objective of organizing the collocated events (the special tracks mentioned below along with the KGCM 2013 general topics) is to foster the possibility of meta-integration by means of providing a platform for potential interactions among scholars/professional working with different integrative approaches/methods.
The phenomena of Knowledge Generation, Communications and/or Management have been addressed in the academic, private and public sectors; in universities and in business; in disciplinary research and in multidisciplinary projects. Support systems are being designed and implemented in and for the three sectors. Consequently, the areas and topics that will be covered in KGCM 2013 will be about KGCM concepts, theories, models and methodologies as well as technologies, supporting systems, tools and techniques. Submissions of papers/abstracts regarding scientific research, engineering designs, technological innovations, case studies, and products development are accepted.
Links to the special tracks announced above are given below
Case Studies and Methodologies
Interdisciplinary Research, Education, and Communication
International Symposium on Integrating Research, Education, and Problem Solving
Action Research and Action Learning
Peer Reviewing
Main Topics are the followings:
Organizational, Reviewing, and Selection of Best Papers Policies
Technical Keynote Speakers
Technical keynote speakers will be selected from early submissions because this selection requires an additional evaluation according to the quality of the paper, assessed by its reviewers, the authors' CV and the paper's topic.
Reviewing Process
All Submitted papers/abstracts will go through three reviewing processes: (1) double-blind (at least three reviewers), (2) non-blind, and (3) participative peer reviews. Final acceptance depends of the three kinds of reviews but a paper should be recommended by non-blind reviewers AND blind reviewers in order to be accepted for presentation at the conference and to be included in the respective conference proceedings. A recommendation to accept made by non-blind reviewers is a necessary condition, but it is not a sufficient one. A submission, to be accepted, should also have a majority of its double-blind reviewers recommending its acceptance. This double necessary conditions generate a more reliable and rigorous reviewing than a those reviewing methods based on just one of the indicated methods, or just on the traditional double-blind reviewing. More details regarding this issue can be found at http://www.iiis.org/peer-reviewing.asp.
The three kinds of reviews mentioned above will support the selection process of those papers/abstracts that will be accepted for their presentation at the conference, as well as those to be selected for their publication in JSCI Journal. Details regarding the Acceptance Policy can be found at http://www.iiis.org/acceptance-policy.asp.
Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers/abstracts, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Non-registered authors will not have access to the reviews of their respective submissions.
Virtual Participation
Submissions for Face-to-Face or for Virtual Participation are both accepted. Both kinds of submissions will have the same reviewing process and the accepted papers will be included in the same proceedings. Pre-Conference and Post-conference Virtual sessions (via electronic forums) will be held for each session included in the conference program, so that sessions papers can be read before the conference, and authors presenting at the same session can interact during one week before and after the conference. Authors can also participate in peer-to-peer reviewing in virtual sessions.
Invited Sessions Organizers
Registration fees of an effective invited session organizers will be waived according to the policy described in the web page (click on 'Invited Session', then on 'Benefits for the Organizers of Invited Sessions'), where you can get information about the ten benefits for an invited session organizer. To propose the organization of an Invited Session, please visit the conference web site, and go to the menu option "Invited Sessions" and then to the menu sub-option "Invited Sessions Organizers."
Best Papers
Authors of the best 10%-20% of the papers presented at the conference (included those virtually presented) will be invited to adapt their papers for their publication in the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics.
One best paper of each session included in the program will be selected by the respective session's co-chairs after consulting with the session's audience. Invited Sessions organizers will select the best paper of the session they organized. If there is a tie in a given session, the paper that will be selected as the best session's paper will be the one which have had the highest quantitative evaluations average according to its double-blind and non-blind reviews.
The selection process of the best 10%-20% to be also published in the Journal, will be based on the sessions' best papers and the quantitative evaluation average made by its anonymous and non-anonymous reviewers.
