Lake Norman Little League has experienced rapid growth since its founding in 2011. The league started with 4 teams and 2 coaches, and has now grown to over 32 teams and nearly 600 players for the fall 2015 season. It is entirely volunteer run, with 125 volunteers holding roles such as coaches, scorekeepers, and concession workers. While the league has had success winning district championships and sending teams to state tournaments, its main focus remains providing an opportunity for kids to learn the sport and be part of a team. As the league continues to attract more players, finding sufficient field space for practices and games is a challenge, and the league is exploring options like building its own fields.

Derek Bellamy's undergraduate thesis examines dreams and their connection to the subconscious mind. The thesis discusses the history of dream analysis, including the work of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. It also details the REM sleep cycle and how dreams are a form of communication from the subconscious. Bellamy conducted interviews and surveys to study how people interpret their dreams and whether they view dreams as meaningful. He ultimately argues that dreams provide insight into one's unconscious thoughts and can be used for personal growth if properly analyzed and understood.
This study examined the sensitivity of six neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) combinations to various nicotinic agonists when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Each receptor combination displayed a distinct sensitivity profile. For example, the α2β2 combination was 10-fold more sensitive to nicotine than acetylcholine, while α3β2 was less sensitive to nicotine. Both the α and β subunits contributed to the pharmacological properties of neuronal nAChRs.
