Louisianas two predominant oil and gas plays, Tuscaloosa Marine Shale and Haynesville Shale, have taken starkly divergent paths over the past decade. While poor market conditions have made the TMS too risky for most drillers, Haynesville rig counts are on the rise due to burgeoning liquefied natural gas exports.

Patrick Courreges, communications director at the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources, says recent DNR data tells the tale. Theres currently only one active drilling permit in the TMS and dozens in the Haynesville play. Were seeing about 30-odd rigs split between Haynesville Shale and the Cotton Valley formation, he says. That has been fairly steady.

The shale play boom began with little fanfare about a decade ago. For the first time, advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing enabled oil producers to access what had before been commercially unavailable. The relatively high oil and natural gas prices at the time provided the incentive for experimentation and risk-taking, and U.S. production began to surge.

The massive TMS, which covers 8 million acres in Louisiana and Mississippi, has long tantalized oil companies and economic development officials, but idiosyncratic extraction challenges and the 2014 price plunge have kept it from realizing its economic potential.

Meanwhile, theres an entirely different reality underway in northwest Louisiana. Haynesville Shale has hitched its wagon to the growing LNG export business and the dry gas it offers has made it very attractive.

You just dont get dry holes (in Haynesville), Courreges says. They know how to drill it, know how to fracture it, and how to get the best out of it. Louisiana is now at 3 trillion feet a year in gas production, with the bulk of that coming from Haynesville. Read the full story from the latest edition of Business Report here.

Most people behave in one or more ways that others may consider peculiar, and I am no exception. I want my clothes to match, from shoes to eyeglasses and everything in between (including underwear a challenge when packing for a trip). If visitors use my kitchen, theyre asked to put things back exactly where they were found. In arranging my furniture, countertops and wall-hangings, I strive for symmetry. And I label packaged foods with their expiration dates and place them in my pantry in date order.

I know Im not the only one with quirks like these that others may consider so OCD, a reference to obsessive-compulsive disorder. But the clinical syndrome, in which people have unbidden recurring thoughts that lead to repetitive habits, is far more than a collection of quirky behaviours. Rather, it is a highly distressing and chronic neuropsychological condition that can trigger serious anxiety and make it difficult to function well in school, at work or at home.

For someone with OCD, certain circumstances or actions that most people would consider harmless, like touching a doorknob, are believed to have potentially dire consequences that require extreme corrective responses, if not total avoidance. A person may so fear germs, for example, that shaking someones hand can compel them to wash their own hand 10, 20 or even 30 times to be sure its clean.

For many, the COVID-19 pandemic only made things worse. Past research has found a potential correlation between traumatic experience and increased risk of developing OCD, as well as worsening symptoms. A person with OCD who already believes dangerous germs lurk everywhere would, understandably, have become paralysed with anxiety by the spread of the novel coronavirus. And indeed, a Danish study published in October found that the early months of the pandemic resulted in increased anxiety and other symptoms in both newly diagnosed and previously treated OCD patients ages 7-21.

How serious is OCD?

The disorder often runs in families, and different members can be affected to varying degrees. Symptoms of the condition often begin in childhood or adolescence, afflicting an estimated 1 per cent to 2 per cent of young people and rising to about 1 in 40 adults. About half are seriously impaired by the disorder, 35 per cent moderately affected and 15 per cent mildly affected.

It is not hard to see how the disorder can be so disruptive. A person with OCD who is concerned that they may fail to lock the door, for example, may feel compelled to unlock and relock it over and over. Or they may become unduly stressed and anticipate disaster if a strict routine, like switching a light on and off 10 times, is not followed before leaving a room. Some people with OCD are plagued by taboo thoughts about sex or religion or by a fear of harming themselves or others.

Comedian Howie Mandel, now 65, told MedPage Today in June that he has suffered from OCD since childhood, but wasnt officially diagnosed until many years later after spending most of his life living in a nightmare and struggling with an obsession about germs. He has been working to help counter the stigma of mental illness and increase public understanding of OCD in hopes that greater awareness of the disorder will foster early recognition and treatment to avert its life-impairing effects.

How is OCD treated?

Until the mid-1980s, OCD was considered untreatable, said Caleb W. Lack, a professor of psychology at the University of Central Oklahoma. But now, he said, there are three evidence-based therapies that may be effective, even for the most severely afflicted: psychotherapy, pharmacology and a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation, which sends magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain.

Most patients are initially offered a form of cognitive behavioral therapy, called exposure and response prevention. Starting with something least likely to elicit anxiety for example, showing a used tissue to people with an obsessive fear of contamination patients are encouraged to resist a compulsive response, like repeated hand-washing. Patients are taught to engage in self-talk, exploring the often irrational thoughts that are going through their heads, until their anxiety level declines.

When they see that no illness has resulted from viewing the tissue, the therapy can progress to a more provocative exposure, like touching the tissue, and so forth, until they overcome their unrealistic fear of contamination. For especially fearful patients, this therapeutic approach is often combined with a medication that counters depression or anxiety.

One silver lining of the pandemic is that it may have allowed more people to get treated remotely through online health services. With telemedicine, were able to do very effective treatment for patients, no matter where they may live in relation to the therapist, Lack said. Without ever leaving central Oklahoma, I can see patients in 20 states. Patients dont have to be within a 30-mile radius of the therapist. Telemedicine is a real game-changer for people who wont or cant leave home.

For highly impaired OCD patients for whom nothing else has worked, the latest option is transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, a noninvasive technique that stimulates nerve cells in the brain and helps to redirect neural circuits that are involved in obsessive thoughts and compulsions.

Its as if the brain is stuck in a rut, and TMS helps the brain circuitry get on a different path, Lack explained. As with exposure and response prevention, he said, TMS uses provocative exposures, but combines them with magnetic stimulation to help the brain more effectively resist the urge to respond.

In a study of 167 severely affected OCD patients at 22 clinical sites published in May, 58% remained significantly improved after an average of 20 sessions with TMS. The Food and Drug Administration has approved the technique for treating OCD, though many insurance companies are not yet offering coverage.

Where can I get help?

Bradley Riemann, a psychologist at Rogers Behavioral Health System in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, said his organization, which has 20 locations in nine states, relies on treatment teams that include psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses and social workers to provide both outpatient and inpatient treatment for OCD patients as young as age 6. Too often, Riemann said, parents inadvertently reinforce the problem by clearing a path so that their child can avoid their obsessive fear and resulting compulsive response. For example, they might routinely open doors for a child fearful of contamination.

The nonprofit International OCD Foundation, based in Boston, can help patients and families find therapists and support groups for those struggling with the condition. A message can be left at 617-973-5801.

Living with OCD in a pandemic - The Indian Express

Insider: Verizon 200 turns chaotic in final laps

Join motor sports insider Nathan Brown as he recaps the Verizon 200 at the Brickyard.

Clark Wade, Indianapolis Star

On the eve of IndyCar's final oval race of the 2021 season, the series appears primed for one of its longtime short-track ovals to return to the calendar. The series has announced plans for a joint press conference Thursday withsupermarket chain Hy-Vee, that will include series owner Roger Penske, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing owner Bobby Rahal and driver Graham Rahal, Hy-Vee chairman/CEO/president Randy Edeker and Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds.

It's expected IndyCar will announce the return of a race at Iowa Speedway for 2022, with Hy-Vee a major RLL team sponsor to serve as the race's title sponsor.

IndyCar has run 15 races on the short-track oval that measures just under 1 mile in length, including a July doubleheader during the pandemic-altered 2020 season and at least once every year from 2007-20. But it fell off this year when NASCAR, whichowns the track, and IndyCar couldn't come to a financial agreement. IndyCar had to rent the track last year and serve as the race promoter without a title sponsor, all while permitted to host 5,000 or so fans each day.

Earlier this summer, Penske revealed that Rahal had been in talks of some form with Hy-Vee representatives about trying to get the race back on the IndyCar schedule through a title sponsorship.

RLL connected with company a year ago to run what began as a one-off title sponsorship deal on the younger Rahal's car during one of the Iowa doubleheader races. After finishing on the podium, the supermarket chain supported the team's third Indy 500 entry driven by Spencer Pigot. They returned in similar fashion this year on the No. 45 car for the 500, driven by Santino Ferrucci, and then signed up for a handful more primary sponsorship spots withFerrucci and Rahal this summer.

"They're a company on the move," Rahal told IndyStar of Hy-Vee in July. "They're expanding, and they're a fabulous chain. I think they see (IndyCar)fitting with where they want to go. IndyCar is very much midwest-centric, as are they.

"Hopefully, there will be a race at Iowa again in their backyard."

Penske and Mark Mileshave spoken several times over the past year about IndyCar's desire to return more oval races to the calendar, having just three tracks and four total oval races on the 2021 schedule. Through all those conversations, they saw Iowa as a candidate for a return.

As recent as the Nashville weekend earlier in August, Miles, Penske Entertainment Corp.'s president and CEO, told IndyStar that conversations involving Iowa were ongoing, stating, "Hopefully we'll have some good news in that regard."

During that conversation, Miles reiterated Texas Motor Speedway's impending return for 2022, with the track and series having one year left on the present promoter deal. Although, Miles said, "I doubt it's a doubleheader."

"We want to see Texas Motor Speedway on the calendar," Miles continued. "We think it can be great racing again, and ovals are important to us."

Homestead-Miami Speedway, a track that had been mentioned as a possibility as IndyCar looked to add more ovals for 2022, "is not on the front burner at this point," Miles said.

With the paddock and fans still awaiting the rest of the schedule release, which is expected in a matter of weeks, Iowa appears likely to be the only addition heading into 2022, with Miles having said next year's slate will look "very similar".

More on IndyCar's schedule future:

Presently, at least 12 races are locked inwith Long Beach, Mid-Ohio and WWT Raceway needing to come to a renewal to be part of the 2022 slate. The status of Laguna Seca isn't immediately known, with track president and general manager John Narigi saying publicly last year that the permanent road course race only had one year left. It is believed, though, that the track since tacked onone more year (presumably for 2022) because of its canceled 2020 race due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With Texas likely returning to just one race, as Miles said, next year's race count hinges on whether Iowa would run asone race which would make for 17 events on the calendar or a doubleheader, which has circulated as a rumor around the paddock in recent weeks.

Penske, though, has saidthat after running five doubleheaders a year ago and two more in 2021, holding two races in one weekend isn't ideal for the series from a monetary standpoint, essentially because IndyCar doesn't typically pull double the sanctioning fee. Doubleheaders on ovals, in particular, can also lead to expensive weekends for teams in terms of crash damage.

For example, for this year's doubleheader at TMS, Penske said IndyCar footed some of the financial blow as abnormally small crowds showed up, leaving the track with significantly smaller ticket revenue due to the pandemic. But without TMS's help in hosting a doubleheader weekend, IndyCar would have held just three oval races half of the pandemic-altered 2020 schedule and two fewer than what was originally planned for last season.

"We think 16, 17 or 18 races is the goal for an ideal schedule," Miles said.

Transportation Management Systems (TMS) Market Will Showing Petition Growth in Near Future 2021-2027: Recent Trends and Competitive Analysis By Top...

Novel approach finds targets for future clinical trials in depression and Parkinsons disease.

Researchers have made significant advancements in correlating aberrations in specific brain circuits with neuropsychiatric conditions like depression. However, it remains difficult to prove that damage to these circuits causes the symptoms themselves and that targeting them with therapeutics could help patients. By integrating brain lesion datasets with data on how two treatments deep brain stimulation (DBS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) influence neuropsychiatric disorders, researchers fromBrigham and Womens Hospitaland collaborators developed a new brain mapping approach that may help clarify the cause of a variety of neuropsychiatric conditions and identify promising stimulation sites to target therapeutically. Findings are published inNature Human Behavior.

This is a new technique that uses existing data on patients with brain damage to develop new treatment targets for real-world patients with similar symptoms, said the papers corresponding author,Shan Siddiqi, MD,of theCenter for Brain Circuit Therapeuticsat the Brigham. In principle, this should open the floodgates for researchers to study any stroke- or brain-injury-associated symptom to find a new treatment target for people who developed the same symptom without brain damage.

The researchers developed their approach using data on depression and Parkinsons disease, both of which are already associated with well-defined brain lesions and are commonly treated with DBS and TMS. They combined the location and connectivity of 461 brain lesions, 101 DBS sites, and 151 TMS sites, and compared patients who developed depression, patients who had improvement in depression, and patients who had no change in mood. Using this approach, they identified a brain circuit that is an effective therapeutic target for both invasive and noninvasive brain stimulation treatments. The study also indicates that brain stimulation outcomes vary not according to the technique used DBS versus TMS but according to the circuit that is targeted.

The researchers subsequently used their approach with Parkinsons disease data. Combining data on 29 lesions and 95 stimulation sites for tremors and rigidity, they showed that lesions associated with the motor symptoms of Parkinsons disease are connected to the same circuits as the stimulation sites that that relieve those symptoms.

The researchers are now working to refine circuit maps for other neuropsychiatric conditions such as anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, mania, hallucinations, and movement disorders. Clinical trials are still necessary to determine whether physicians can relieve patient symptoms by targeting the brain circuits identified through the new approach. The authors of the study are currently conducting a trial to confirm the distinct TMS targets that they recently identified for depression and anxiety.

Now that we have concrete evidence that lesions map to treatment targets, we can design more clinical trials to generate new treatments, Siddiqi said. This approach gives us highly rigorous hypotheses about treatment targets. When we dont know much about the brain circuitry of a particular disorder, our study shows how to find the answer to that question and turn it into new treatment targets.

Brain Mapping Method Illuminates Targets for Treating Depression and Parkinsons Disease - SciTechDaily

In the logistics industry, one application of blockchain is a smart contract. Distribution companies may use smart contracts to cut red tape, automate the entire procurement process, and eliminate human errors.

FREMONT, CA: As the COVID-19 pandemic caused governments around the world to impose lockdowns or shelter-in-place orders, digital technology adoption skyrocketed in 2020. According to one survey, the COVID-19 response accelerated the adoption of digital technologies for customer and supply-chain interaction and internal operations by three to four years. Many of these changes are long-term in nature. Almost everyone who responded to the study claimed that their companies had devised short-term solutions to satisfy new needs.

The logistics business was not exempt from needing to adjust to the new normal swiftly. B2Bs, B2Cs, carriers, shippers, and other businesses find that digitization and software are effective tools. The logistics technology developments that will shape the industry in 2021 and the years ahead are listed below.

Blockchain Technology

Many people identify blockchain with cryptocurrencies, although the technology's applications are much broader. Consumers will benefit from blockchain's decentralized digital ledger since it will allow them to trace their orders throughout their trip. It also increases security by disclosing attempted frauds, making audits more transparent.

Companies save money and time by eliminating manual paperwork with a blockchain-based solution. This makes document coordination much easier.

Transportation Management Systems (TMS)

TMS systems are becoming increasingly popular, particularly among logistics companies. And properly so, given that various technology tools necessitate proper organization and management in a single location. TMS is used to keep track of carriers and improve route automation. It may be used to track delivery drivers in real-time, reduce freight costs, improve transparency, and boost overall customer happiness.

Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is altering every area of people's lives. It provides more data that can be used to manage assets remotely, predicts risk, ensures correct cargo handling, and forecast traffic congestionexpanding IoT in logistics results in more connectivity between items, packaging, transportation hubs, and vehicles. When IoT is paired with blockchain technology, end-to-end visibility of packages may be possible.

EKA Introduces Touchless Freight Trading and Execution - Yahoo Finance

By NATHAN HOWELL | Staff Writer

ALABASTER The Thompson Middle School Symphonic Band was recently selected to perform at the Alabama Music Educators Association Conference (AMEA) in early 2022.

The conference brings together music educators from across the state for several days of clinics and performances.

Each year, bands from high schools throughout Alabama submit recordings to participate in the performances. A blind panel of judges will then pick the best three to four groups to perform.

TMS Director of Bands Michael Chambless said his students prepared and recorded two pieces of music during the spring semester and submitted them to the panel.

We worked for most of this spring semester on the recordings that we ended up submitting, Chambless said. They ask you to submit two pieces of varying repertoire. We ended up recording a march and a blues dance-style piece as our submissions.

Chambless said the bands submission was due to the hard work his students put in throughout the semester and expressed how proud he was.

This is an incredible honor. They put so much time and effort into getting selected for this. Anytime you put in that kind of time and dedication it is incredible, Chambless said. They are really proud of their work, and I am really proud of them. This is a really incredible feeling for everyone involved with the program. This is truly a great testament to the wonderful students that we get to teach, and the incredible support and culture we have at TMS and ACS.

Chambless also noted the support of the school system as a motivator for this kind of success.

We are able to accomplish these things with great leadership and support from our principal, Dr. Woodley, and Superintendent Dr. Vickers, Chambless explained The vision they have for our school system and our band makes this a great environment, and helps our students feel really supported.

Most importantly, this accomplishment is a positive reaffirmation for the students, according to Chambless.

They put in hard work and dedicated all of their time to get a great outcome, Chambless said. Music is meant to make you feel really special and inspired. The most important thing for me is that the kids get to have a special connection with the music and get to have a great time performing it.

The AMEA Conference is currently scheduled to take place June 20-22 in , where the TMS Symphonic band will perform.
