New Solutions to Age-Old Problems
From biomedical engineer to physical therapist, Prof. Leslie Russek is working to find new solutions to age-old medical problems.
Professor Leslie Russek has never been able to make up her mind about what she wants to be. Lucky for her, she doesn't have to.
Russek, a licensed physical therapist and orthopedic specialist, biomechanical engineering Ph.D. and researcher, Aikido instructor and self-proclaimed dog lover, is able to make good use of all of her talents, knowledge and interests at Clarkson as a professor in the Department of Physical Therapy.
"Academically, Clarkson perfectly matched my interests in biomedical engineering and physical therapy," she says. "The idea of helping to develop a rehabilitation engineering program that combined the best of physical therapy and engineering was particularly appealing and I spent my first few years at Clarkson helping to get that off the ground."
While at Clarkson, Russek has shifted her focus towards one of the most human experiences: chronic pain. She is currently involved in several research projects on chronic pain conditions like hypermobility syndrome (HMS), headaches and fibromyalgia. For example, one project is looking at how much physical therapists understand about the condition of HMS, while another is determining whether HMS is associated with increased pain and frequency of injury.
"In addition to my research, I do a lot of public education. Most people don't realize how effective physical therapy can be in managing chronic headaches by fixing the cause rather than just treating the symptoms," she explains.
Russek also spends a great deal of time in the classroom with her Doctor of Physical Therapy graduate students and pre-physical therapy undergraduate students. The physical therapy curriculum at Clarkson is rooted in an approach called problem-based learning (PBL), which allows students to think not just of the science behind a patient situation, but also the ethical, legal and psychosocial issues related to it.
"The PBL format is a way to help students learn how to think rather than just cramming their heads full of facts that may become outdated within a few years," says Russek. "In PBL, students work in small groups to really understand realistic patient cases. Physical therapists learn best by figuring out what is wrong with their patients and how to treat them. That's what our students do."
Outside the classroom, Russek runs a fibromyalgia support group and is the faculty advisor for the Clarkson Aikido Club, teaching classes three times a week. Aikido, which means "the way of harmonizing energy," also fits in perfectly with Russek's lifestyle and career.
"Aikido is all about redirecting the negative energy of an attack into a positive outcome – about resolving conflict and striving for outcomes that are constructive rather than destructive," she explains. "It's about guiding people without forcing them and about listening through touch to what they are experiencing. Physical therapy, especially working with people experiencing chronic pain, is much the same."
Despite her accomplishments, Russek still has one hope for the future – practicing canine physical therapy. "I am devoted to my two dogs, Luna and Bandit. They ground me and remind me to step back from my busy life and just enjoy 'being' every now and then," she says. "I dream of rehabilitating dogs with musculoskeletal injuries when I retire from academia."

Raising vibrations to help humanity
What an out of body experience. He actually describe people of today. Well time will tell if his experience will come true. There been a decrease in birds in my area again this year. It is weird not to hear birds chirping.
you eat the worms!!! I will live on nettles, dandelions, plenty of weeds to eat, and maybe net a few fish. not the animals, I love them too much and am vegetarian save for the fish. I always say, we should study the natural flora, and learn what is edible. save sees, buy plenty of packets, store in a cold dark place. in foil packets.
personally, as a follower of Tolec and a few others, I am not a pessimist in any way or form. it may be damned rough, but life is rough at best if times. I have a big berkey water filter, may buy another later this year if things look bad. get back to nature, love nature, love the earth mother at all times. be a pagan,
bug out bag at the ready, rucksack all packed, good walking shoes? we may all be doing a grand trek into the mountains...I am all set for that judging by some of these prophetic dreams and such.
I will post a link in a bit, Susan, to todays Bob Tuskin show, with Shepherd Ambelas, also a link to yesterdays hour three of the power hour where these things were discussed at length. great shows.
very very interesting at one level, but very very worrying at another.

Best Kids Parties: Mustaches
Name: Tama (3)
Location: Sacramento, California
For my son's 3rd birthday party, we had a mustache bash with all of his friends! I'm not really sure how we were inspired to go with this theme but once it was decided upon, my son was ecstatic about the theme and would tell everyone around him that he was having a mustache bash.
Along with their invitation, every kid was given a homemade t-shirt to wear to the party. Once they arrived, I painted a mustache on each kid. The party was definitely a labor of love and other than the cupcakes, everything (including the invitations) were made from scratch by me. We really didn't play any games but the kids had a blast playing together.
The kids ate homemade pizza with chocolate milk. I chose not to have a big cake and instead every kid got a cupcake with their own candle to blow out. My son told me later that it was the best birthday party ever! That was all the thanks I needed for all the hard work!

by Punchy » Thu Oct 17, 2013 9:52 amJonathan Hickman drops 2 Infinity issues on us this week, and for the first time, I think I'm more interested in the Avengers, outer-space half of the story than the New Avengers elements. This issue picked up from the awesomeness that was Infinity #4 and showed the Galactic Alliance fighting back against the builders, and somehow managed to make this even more of an epic space opera than it was before. And it was pretty bloody epic already.
The issue opens with the Ex Nihilos all gathered around Captain Universe, but I'll get to that later, the best stuff in this issue was the resumption of hostilities. We discover that even after Thor killed The Builder and got Ronan The Accuser onside, the Supreme Intelligence did not want to get back in the fight. So Ronan smashes him and the leads the Accusers and the Kree Army on his own, without the Intelligence's permission, which is pretty bad-ass. Hickman then quickly shows us the scale of the war, with the Kymellians, the Space-Knights (who aren't all dead, yay) and the Skrulls all coming back and taking it to The Builders. We also see that the Avengers are fighting alongside the Shi'Ar Imperial Guard, and that they still aren't winning. So Gladiator and Captain America go for their last resort option… unleashing The Annihilation Wave.
I loved this scene, Annihilation is one of the best Marvel stories of the last decade, and Hickman did a fantastic job of reflecting that, and making this seem like a huge deal. I hope anyone reading Infinity who hasn't read Annihilation goes out and does so now, you won't be disappointed. It's brilliant to see how far the cosmic side of the Marvel Universe has come, back then, it was a separate event, read by a few, now, those same characters and concepts are central parts of an Avengers story, it's so cool, and the best kind of continuity.
Surprisingly, even the Annihilation Wave is not able to stop The Builders, as they are easily able to manipulate the Bugs and have them turn on eachother, and Annihilus. So what now? Just as everything seemed to be going so well for the Avengers, it's all gone to shit again? Nope, because Ex Nihilo is able to wake Captain Universe up from her coma, and she confronts her creations. There's some Hickmanian techno-babble about the Universal Super-Structure and all that jazz, but the end result is, she blasts most of 'em to death, and the only survivor flees to an alternate universe. So, have our heroes won? Has the tide of this war swung 3 times in the space of one issue? Well, not really, as the last act of The Builders is to command all of the Alephs to 'Destroy everything', which certainly is exciting set up for the last part of this event.
I say this every week, but I am just loving this event, and how big it all feels, and this issue felt like the biggest one yet. Hickman finally has a story big enough for all of his ideas, and Leinil Yu is the perfect artist for this stuff, giving everything the right, epic feel. I want more! Oh look, an issue of New Avengers…
by Juan Cena » Thu Oct 17, 2013 10:20 amIt's not shocking at all that The Builders could stop the Annihilation Wave. These guys are supposed to be Celestial-level or higher, so stopping the Annihilation Wave shouldn't be too much of a problem.
I'm definitely starting to see the Avengers having a greater cosmic presence after Infinity. I seriously doubt that The Builders aren't going to be totally finished off (as some showed up in New Avengers). Cosmic stuff in Avengers, Earth-stuff in Avengers World. Works for me.
by habitual » Thu Oct 17, 2013 12:49 pmThe Universal super structure isn't Hickman techno babble, it's Starbrand techno babble.
It seems that the Ex Nihili and Abyssi were put out to pasture in favor of the New Universe characters.
by Juan Cena » Thu Oct 17, 2013 2:31 pm
Doubt it without further info. Ex Nihlo and Abyss was part of the Avengers World artwork.
Mind you the solicitation for Avengers #25 mentions an Avenger is supposed to die, but I doubt that it'll be him. Or that I expect said dead Avenger to remain dead.
by habitual » Thu Oct 17, 2013 2:54 pm
Go back and reread what I posted because it went over your head..
It's already been established the Ex Nihili and Abyssi have been replaced by the New Universal super structure and the Builders utilize the Superflow in a similar way to Nightmask.
by Juan Cena » Thu Oct 17, 2013 3:34 pm
My bad. I must've read #20 too fast to pick that up. Didn't have time until now to reread it.
by Stephen Day » Fri Oct 18, 2013 5:32 pmAs somebody who came to really like Ronan during Annihilation, it's nice to see him back in a leadership role regarding the Kree.
by adamiani » Fri Oct 18, 2013 5:42 pm
Well... OK, that's fair. But it's the SECOND time that he's unleashed the Annihilation Wave as a last ditch thing and that hasn't amounted to much.
I don't think he understands the concept of "Worfing" an opponent and how it does long-term damage to them.
I mean, it's going to take a lot for me to ever take Galactus seriously as a big scary ultrathreat after "To me, my Galactus!" -- maybe if he eats Ultimate.
by Juan Cena » Sat Oct 19, 2013 8:47 am
Yeah, I'm going to be curious about how things the Kree goes from being allies with The Invaders to threatening Earth in Robinson's new Invaders series.
by pat » Sat Oct 19, 2013 11:46 am
supreme intelligence doesn't seem to be a fan of these moves, my guess is something to do with that
by Juan Cena » Sat Oct 19, 2013 11:55 am
Probably. Not sure about Ronan, though. Wouldn't be surprised if he joined the Avengers when this is all said and done.
by Grayson » Sat Oct 19, 2013 8:23 pm
100% This!
by habitual » Sun Oct 20, 2013 12:59 pm
I like that as well, but, I'd really like to see him play a role in Inhumanity. Loved the relationship he had with Crystal.
by Stephen Day » Sun Oct 20, 2013 1:02 pm
I hated when I heard that their marriage had ended. What was the point in doing that? I can't see any evidence of any good stories coming out of it and that move removed a whole lot of plot points that could have gone in some interesting directions.

Media Statements & Speeches
Commissioner Cheryl A. LaFleur Statement
November 15, 2012
Docket No. RM11-26-000
Item No. E-3
Promoting Transmission Investment Through Pricing Reform
I am pleased to support todays policy statement clarifying the Commissions case-by-case evaluation of applications for transmission incentives pursuant to section 219 of the Federal Power Act and Order Nos. 679 and 679-A.
Our nation is engaged in rebuilding and strengthening its transmission grid to promote reliability, make markets work better for customers, and connect new power sources. Section 219 of the Federal Power Act requires that the Commission encourage transmission investment through incentive regulation. I strongly support incentive regulation, because it works, and also because it is required in our enabling statute. However, I also recognize that the Commission must ensure that the incentives it awards are just and reasonable. As with many energy issues, the Commission must balance the benefits of transmission we are incentivizing with the costs to customers.
There are a few aspects of the policy statement that I would particularly like to highlight.
The policy statement makes clear that we will continue to apply the nexus test (requiring a nexus between incentives sought and the risks and challenges of the project), but will do so with greater rigor. In particular, the Commission will no longer use the routine or non-routine analysis set out in Baltimore Gas & Electric Company, but will consider carefully the specific risks and challenges of each application that requests incentive treatment.
The Commission will also carefully apply the total package of incentives analysis called for in Order No. 679. In particular, the policy statement encourages the utilization of risk-reducing accounting incentives first, rewarding return on equity (ROE) incentives only when demonstrated risks remain after the application of risk-reducing incentives. While the policy statement gives examples of types of projects that may face risks beyond those addressed through risk-reducing incentives, it makes clear that all types of projects, including reliability projects, remain eligible for ROE incentives as long as they demonstrate a clear nexus between the residual risks of the project and the incentive sought. In addition, where a ROE incentive is awarded, it should be limited to a defined cost estimate, as further explained in the policy statement.
I hope that todays policy statement provides helpful guidance to those who will be filing future applications for incentive rate treatment. I agree with the approach of issuing a policy statement to clarify the Commissions policy on incentives, rather than starting a rulemaking, because I believe Order 679 and 679A provide a sound basis for continued case-by-case application of our incentive policy. In addition, this docket has already been open for more than year, and proceeding by policy statement allows us to give guidance to the investment market more quickly than if we started a rulemaking proceeding.. I appreciate all the comments we received in response to our Notice of Inquiry that, in conjunction with our own experience applying section 219, informed this policy statement. I would also like to thank the Commission staff who worked hard to develop this policy statement and worked to find the common ground among the views of the Commissioners.

When Lolly Weller summons her daughter and nieces home to The Three Captains' Inn, her announcement that she has been diagnosed with cancer is just one of many life-changing secrets to be told.
March's debut novel uses the films of Meryl Streep to illuminate these women's lives and to drive away the shadows that dim their happiness. After their mother and father die in a car crash, Isabel and June Nash are taken in by their Aunt Lolly, who lost her own husband in the same crash. Lolly's daughter, Kat, gains instant sisters, but grief tinges the familial bonds. Now grown up, gathered back under Lolly's roof, and drafted into Friday Movie Nights, these young women begin to reconsider the choices they have made—and the opportunities ahead. Like the heroine of Heartburn, Isabel is reeling from her husband's affair. Handsome veterinarian Griffin might know the sting of infidelity, as well, and Isabel is certainly drawn to him for more than their shared pain. Kat has been all but betrothed to Oliver since they were toddlers, but she's not sure if she is more ready to marry Oliver or to run off to a Paris patisserie. Defending Your Life makes her wonder if the real shame is in missing the opportunities life offers. Perhaps the exotic Dr. Matteo Viola is such an opportunity. Like the daughter in Streep's Mama Mia!, June's son, Charlie, has never known his real father. To help Charlie finish his family tree project, June agrees to once more search for John Smith, but maybe Henry Books is a truer father for Charlie. And she can't deny her own attraction to him for much longer. But which movie mirrors Lolly's past? What secret does she hide still? And why has she watched Out of Africa only once in her life?
A heartwarming, spirit-lifting read just in time for beach season.
