The study found that men who reported having insomnia or who slept for short periods of time were more likely to die over a 14-year period than men who slept well.
"Insomnia has potentially very severe side effects," says study co-author Edward Bixler, Ph.D. "It needs to be treated, and more effort needs to be put into sorting out better treatments."
How Much Sleep Are You Really Getting?
Previous research has looked at sleep's effects on lifespan, but the new study is unique. It takes into account both people's perceptions about how much sleep they are getting - which can be wrong - and the actual amount of sleep they got in a sleep lab.
Dr. Bixler and his colleagues studied 1,700 people from central Pennsylvania and followed the men (average age 50) for 14 years and the women (average age 47) for a decade.
The participants answered questions and spent a night in a sleep lab.
About a fifth of the men died during the study period, while 5 percent of the women died.
Dr. Bixler says one factor may be because women live longer than men and the study followed women for a shorter period.
The research team adjusted for factors such as sleep apnea. They found that self-described male insomniacs who slept fewer than six hours in the sleep lab were several times more likely to die during the 14-year period compared to "good sleepers."
Among men, about 9 percent of good sleepers died during the study period, compared to more than half -- 51 percent -- of insomniacs with short sleep duration.
Of all the people in the study, 8 percent of women and 4 percent of men both reported insomnia and had trouble getting much sleep in the lab.
Sleep's Role Requires More Study
Some evidence suggests lack of sleep may contribute to cardiovascular disease or disrupt the immune system, says Dr. B. Tucker Woodson, chief of the division of sleep medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
The researchers say that the study does not definitively prove that poor sleep will directly cause a man to die earlier, and that there could be other factors at play.
As for women, they are not in the clear, notes Dr. Bixler. Since they live longer, it may take a study of a longer duration to figure out whether they suffer from a similar effect.
Sleep experts agree that the relationship between a good night's sleep and length of life is important to understand and needs more study.

Erica Swallow, Contributor
I cover case studies and strategies for founding successful startups.
It seems like everyone wants to found a startup as of late, but not many of those would-be entrepreneurs have the technical know-how to get started.
There are two popular routes to actually getting up and running, though: either learn to code or find someone who knows how. Many "idea people" tend to take the latter road, in search of the ever-mystical "technical co-founder." But where do you find them?
While at SXSW, educator and entrepreneur Nate Cooper taught a Skillshare class on how to speak the language of technical types and ultimately best position yourself for attracting a well-suited technical co-founder.
Cooper, himself deeply embedded in the New York tech scene, gives practical and insightful advice on how entrepreneurs should approach their search. His advice is further validated by the fact that he recently employed each of these tips to pull together a team and found Happstr, a mobile app that maps happiness, in three days while en route to SXSW on StartupBus, a mobile hackathon.
Entrepreneurs looking for technical co-founders, take note of Cooper's advice, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
It's unacceptable to know nothing about coding as a tech entrepreneur, says Cooper.
In order to build a company, you're going to need to know what problem you're solving, what type of product must be built to satisfy that need, and what skills are necessary to build the product.
Before seeking talent, an entrepreneur must first understand his own capabilities and those that he lacks. Then, he can either learn those skills or find talented individuals to fill the gaps.
This is a great article.Almost anyone who has access to internet and is "reasonably" aware of how fast some people on earth has become billionaires in less 10 years or less probably has "wandered around his or her little brain" and asked himself or herself this question "how do I do that -too in 10 years or less?" lol ! Then to be awoken sharply by the notion of "having to learn almost entirely new "computer programming languages".Majority of people (i.e masses) would have much better chance of succeeding in learning actual language of communication of different race's than -I believe-trying to learn computer programming languages that will be forever remain "alien to them".That's just the reality of it with the "slightly older generations" but not with the younger ones who are growing in this digital world.I don't believe that "everyone" or "anyone who has a good idea" needs to "learn new computer programming languages -for as long as "you have mentioned clearly"-that he or she has to "know exactly what's the idea, and what's its purpose and a clearly mapped out "systematics" are and the relationship with "other parties" has to be symbiotic.
"Tech" ( NOT EQUALS) "Internet Venture"
Finding a technical co-founder this way is about as natural as an arranged marriage. Some of them may work out, but you should really know the ins and outs of your partner before handcuffing yourself to them.
I completely agree with your assessment that you should know the person/trust them. A lot of people I deal with in my classes tend to think you can get around this, eg just throw money at someone who has technical skills. What I try to teach people is how to get over their fears about technology and connect with people on a human level. On the flip side I know several people who have founded startups with friends only to have those friends bail out or turn on them. In these cases the more of the business you're able to make up for yourself the better. It's good not to distance yourself too much from the technological aspects of your business.
Thanks Erica. Very helpful piece.

An Arizona judge says police can immediately start enforcing the "show me your papers" provision of the state's controversial immigration law, marking another legal milestone in the two-year battle between Gov. Jan Brewer and the Obama administration over the handling of undocumented immigrants.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton on Tuesday is the first legal go-ahead for Arizona law enforcement officers to question the immigration status of people suspected of being in the country illegally.

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - Fire crews in Toledo have already responded to several suspicious fires in Toledo over the July Fourth weekend.
Crews responded to several fires in south Toledo Saturday morning. Between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., alley fires were called in on Leland Avenue and Knower Street. Additionally, small house fires were reported on Broadway and Bowman Street. All of the fires were quickly extinguished.
Investigators do have a description of two people seen at the fires. They're following up on the tip, so the descriptions have not yet been released to the public.
Early Saturday morning, crews responded to a fire in the 1200 block of Page in north Toledo. No one lives in the house, and investigators are calling the fire suspicious.
Another fire broke out Friday night on the 500 block of Colburn in south Toledo just before midnight. Crews at the scene say the house is vacant. Fire fighters were able to quickly get it under control because they have a station nearby. No one was hurt in the fire.
Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStopper at 419-255-1111.

When team members contradict each other, clients lose trust and often seek guidance elsewhere. To support your team's message,
you need to know your practice's philosophy and protocols. And the quickest path is through consistent team training, written
protocols, role-playing, and testing.
Get everyone on the bus
This isn't to say everyone must agree on every topic every time. But you do need to agree on the message you'll present to
clients. So put your policy in writing and present a copy to all new team members during their initial phase training. And
when you change your team's guidelines, redistribute your policy to all team members. By reinforcing the doctor's recommendations,
you'll help clients understand their importance, and they're more likely to comply. And you'll feel confident making care
recommendations knowing doctors will support your advice.

It's Week 9 of the 2012 Fall Sports high school sports season, which means it's the final week of the regular season in boys soccer and the start of the state volleyball and football playoffs. Field hockey's coming up soon too.
But for our purposes it's time to nominate your favorite MVP of the Week from Ladue, St. Joe, Villa, Burroughs, or MICDS.
We'll reveal who made the ballot on Wednesday, and the voting is open until 5 p.m. Thursday.
Here's a few of our suggestions for this week:
Matthew Hooper, Ladue football.
The Rams' junior quarterback had perhaps his best game of the season so far, completing 18-of-23 passes for 305 yards and four touchdowns in his team's huge 49-6 win over Jennings Saturday afternoon at the Ramming Athletic Center.
Taylor Revling and Ellie Bisig, St. Joe tennis.
The Angels' dynamite duo took third in the MSHSAA Class 2 Girls Tennis Doubles Tournament last weekend in Springfield. Revling and Bisig also helped St. Joe win its 15th state championship
Erika Ingles, Ladue volleyball.
Senior standout led the Rams to four straight victories and the championship of the McCluer South-Berkeley Tournament last week. She was named Most Outstanding Player at the event, after averaging 11.0 kills and 7.1 assists in victories over McCluer South-Berkeley, Normandy, Clayton, and Affton.
Chris Wetzel, John Burroughs soccer.
The starting goalkeeper for the Bombers, Wetzel has posted shutouts in each of his club's last four wins.
Meagan Donovan, Villa Duchesne volleyball.
One of the top freshmen in the area, Donovan was dynamite in a pair of Saints' wins over Belleville Althoff and Cor Jesu Academy last week. The 6'1 setter and defensive whiz totaled 55 assists and 15 blocks for a Villa team that goes into districts as the No. 1 seed in the Class 3 District 5 playoffs.
Bridget Condie, MICDS field hockey.
Another talented freshmen, who leads the Rams with 12 goals and eight assists this season. Last week, she had two goals and three assists in MICDS' exciting victories over Edwardsville and Notre Dame de Sion.

Host Identity Protocol for Linux
HIP authenticates and secures communication between two hosts. HIP authenticates hosts and establishes a symmetric key between them to secure the data communication. The data flow between the end hosts is encrypted by IPsec Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) with the symmetric key set up by HIP. HIP introduces mechanisms, such as cryptographic puzzles, that protect HIP responders (servers) against DoS attacks. Applications simply need to use HITs instead of IP addresses. Application source code does not need to be modified.
HIP provides transparent mobility support for existing network applications. TCP connections are bound to HITs instead of IP addresses. HITs do not change for a given host. HITs are further mapped to IP addresses. When an IP address changes, new mappings between the HIT and the new IP address are formed. When a host moves to a new network and obtains a new IP address, the host informs its peers about its new IP address, and TCP connections are sustained.
WLAN access points and broadband modems employ NATs due to the lack of IPv4 addresses. However, you have to configure your NAT settings manually if you want to use P2P software or connect to your computer behind a NAT. It may even be impossible if your ISP employs a second NAT.
With HIP, hosts can address each other with HITs across private address realms of NATs. HIP makes use of two alternative NAT traversal technologies, ICE and Teredo, to traverse the NATs. Setting up a server behind a NAT using HIP does not require manual configuration of the NAT. The HIPL on-line manual infrahip.hiit.fi/hipl/manual/ch21.html describes the details.
The InfraHIP site offers free services for the HIP community. For example, you can register your HIT to the DNS or Distributed Hash Table (DHT). The site also offers free HIP forwarding services to assist in NAT traversal and locating mobile nodes.
The Host Identity Protocol architecture (Figure 1) defines a new namespace, the Host Identity namespace, which decouples the name and locator roles of IP addresses. With HIP, the transport layer operates on host identities instead of IP addresses as endpoint names. The host identity layer is between the transport layer and the network layer. The responsibility of the new layer is to translate identities to routable locators before a host transmits the packet. The reverse applies to incoming packets.
The actual Host Identity Protocol (HIP) is composed of a two round-trip, end-to-end Diffie-Hellman key-exchange protocol, called base exchange, mobility updates and some additional messages. The networking stack triggers the base exchange automatically when an application tries to connect to an HIT.
During a base exchange, a client (initiator) and a server (responder) authenticate each other with their public keys and create symmetric encryption keys for IPsec to encrypt the application's traffic. In addition, the initiator must solve a computational puzzle. The responder selects the difficulty of the puzzle according to its load. When the responder is busy or under DoS attack, the responder can increase the puzzle difficulty level to delay new connections.
We can describe this process as follows:
I --> DNS: lookup R I <-- DNS: return R's address and HI/HIT
The initiator application connects to an HIT:
I1 I --> R (Hi, Here is my I1, let's talk with HIP) R1 R --> I (OK, Here is my R1, solve this HIP puzzle) I2 I --> R (Computing, here is my counter I2) R2 R --> I (OK. Let's finish base exchange with my R2) I --> R (ESP protected data) R --> I (ESP protected data)
HIP provides a mechanism similar to base exchange to handle IP address changes. When a host detects a new IP address, it informs all its peers of the address change. The hosts adjust their IPsec security associations accordingly, and the applications running on the hosts continue sending data to each other as if nothing happened.
When two hosts are connected to each other using HIP and one of them moves, the mobile host tells its current location to the other. If both hosts move at the same time, they can lose contact with each other. In this case, an HIP rendezvous server assists the hosts. The rendezvous server has a fixed IP address and, therefore, it offers a stable contact point for mobile hosts. The rendezvous server relays only the first packet, and after the contact, the hosts can communicate with each other directly. HIP includes another similar service, called HIP Relay, that forwards all HIP packets to support NAT traversal.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont students are putting technology to good use as school staff began presenting laptop computers to junior/senior high school students and iPads to elementary school students.
The district's new 1:1 iPad/tablet program is designed to provide the necessary tools and resources for a progressive learning environment characterized by flexibility, collaboration, personalization, creativity and technology-rich learning, officials said.
Junior/senior high school students received their PlaidLet by Daktech computers this week during rollout assemblies for students and parents. The PlaidLet is a 10.1-inch convertible netbook tablet. Computer screens swivel to convert to a tablet with a passive touch screen.
A stylus can be used on the screen for notes, which can later be converted into a Microsoft Word document. These small but powerful computers include integrated Bluetooth, Intel Learning Series Software and are specifically designed for the education market.
Elementary school students also attended assemblies this week with their parents to learn about acceptable use and rules for iPads. Fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade students will be allowed to take their new iPads home after a training period. In fact, they are expected to take them home to charge batteries for each new school day.
Younger elementary students will share iPads but will not be taking them home.
District officials told parents in a prepared statement:, "Implementation of a 1:1 iPad/tablet initiative enables anywhere, anytime learning that is no longer limited by the four walls of a classroom or building. Purposeful technology integration liberates teachers from being deliverers of content and, instead, allows them to be facilitators of deep, individualized learning for all students."

Close to 11 million people likely will see Irmo native Jennifer Hopka on the CBS reality show The Amazing Race next month.
That's three times as many as would have seen her if she had made it into Playboy six years ago.
They just won't be seeing as much of her.
In 2003, the now 26-year-old Midlands Tech nursing student was flown to the Playboy Mansion in L.A. to take part in the search for the 50th Anniversary Playmate.
It was one of the best times of my life, the Dutch Fork High School graduate said during a phone interview with her Amazing Race partner and boyfriend, Preston McCamy. I made a lot of new friends, and it was an experience that so many girls, and probably guys, would love to have, and I was a part of it.
Thousands of girls were invited to compete for five top spots. Hopka posed for a centerfold picture that has never published. She does appear in the Playboy - The Ultimate Playmate Search DVD.
She was a bit unsure about the first photo shoot that earned her a spot in the competition. I didn't think I'd have the guts to do it, she admitted.
Perhaps her upcoming appearance on The Amazing Race will make her centerfold dreams come true. I keep waiting for that call, she said. I hope that happens.

KALKASKA -- A woman died in a three-vehicle crash in Kalkaska County.
The woman, 68, was an occupant in a vehicle driven by a Brighton man, 73, on M-72 near Blue Lake Road in Kalkaska County's Bear Lake Township on Friday afternoon. Michigan State Police had not identified the victim by mid-day Saturday, but said the Brighton man was driving east on M-72 when he lost control of the vehicle and it crossed the centerline.
The vehicle struck a pickup truck that was headed east and was driven by a South Boardman man, 23. A third vehicle, driven by a Grand Rapids man, 23, also was involved in the crash.
The woman passenger was pronounced dead at the scene, while the driver from Brighton was taken to Munson Medical Center with what authorities said were serious injuries.
No other injuries were reported.
Police said speed and road conditions contributed to the crash.

The following is from the March 28, 2008, edition of The Dallas Morning News. SMU Law Professor Fred Moss provided expertise for this story.
By JENNIFER EMILY
The Dallas Morning News
In a rare move, a Dallas County judge ruled Friday that he believes a man convicted of a deadly aggravated robbery two decades ago is innocent and deserves a new trial.
The strongly worded, 42-page ruling by State District Judge Rick Magnis does not automatically free Ben Spencer from prison. But Mr. Spencer's supporters say it does show what they have been trying to prove for years: that he did not kill businessman Jeffrey Young in 1987.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in Austin must approve the judge's recommendation for a new trial for Mr. Spencer who is serving a life sentence and could disagree with his ruling altogether. . .
Southern Methodist University law professor Fred Moss, a former federal prosecutor, called Judge Magnis' decision of actual innocence "very unusual."
"You don't often at all find judges coming to such a conclusion," he said. "The system is pretty jaundiced against these things."
Mr. Moss said Dallas County's 15 DNA exonerations more than any other county in the nation since 2001 could be a factor in the judge's decision even though there was no biological evidence in Mr. Spencer's case.
"Perhaps we are not as confident as we were in the system and are willing to admit mistakes," he said.

Something or someone a person views with particular dislike: "The new candidate for governor is the bête noire of all the liberals in the state." From French, meaning "black beast."
bête noire
A person or thing that is particularly disliked. For example, Calculus was the bête noire of my freshman courses. This phrase, French for "black beast," entered the English language in the early 1800s. For synonyms, see pain in the neck; thorn in one's flesh.

Cesar Perales, Secretary of State of New York, detailed Governor Andrew Cuomo's plan for New York. He presented a powerpoint and fielded questions at Ramapo Town Hall Monday night. He looked at several aspects from economic development to education standards.
Earlier Patch Posts on Cuomo's State of the State plan:
- Cuomo Seeks $8.75 for Minimum Wage
- Government Reform to Aid Local Municipalities
Cuomo's plans includes lowering the regional greenhouse gas emission cap, Recreate NY-Smart Home, and other initiatives. Perales' presentation went over a few nature-related facts to lead into Cuomo's emergency preparation plan:
- Climate change is real
- Inarguable that the sea is warmer and there is a changing weather pattern.
Must lower the Regional Greenhouse Gas Emission Cap:
- 9 states participate in the CO2 cap & trade program.
- Current cap is 165M tons of CO2 and is well above the current emissions level of 91M tons of CO2.
- CO2 emissions have declined over 30% since the cap was established.
- Working w/ other states we propose lowering the cap on CO2 emissions to a level that guarantees we will reduce emissions below current levels.
Increase local renewable power sources
- Propose increasing the use of alternative power (distributed generation of electricity) using renewable sources, natural gas, and energy storage to reduce dependence on centralized power plants and avoid outages.
Cuomo's plan focuses on understanding the needs of coastal communities. Many pose special challenges because they are man made.The state proposes the Recreate NY-Smart Home: Home construction mitigation grant program
- Propose the RECREATE NY-HOME BUYOUT: Home buyout program for homeowners who want to relocate
- Harden our infrastructure
- Harden the NYC subway system by having flood-proof subways and bus depots with vertical roll-down doors, vent closures, inflatable bladders, and upsized fixed pumps (with back-up power sources).
- Harden our airports. Install elevated or submersible pump control panel, pump feeders and tide gates at airports
- Harden our fuel delivery system.. Require that gas stations in strategic locations have on-site back-up power capacity and create a Strategic Fuel Reserve to protect NY from temporary disruptions in fuel supply.
- Harden our utilities. PSC will require utilities to submit detailed implementation plans to harden their facilities, including raising substation wall and elevating transformer installations.
Cuomo plans to redesign the power system
- Moreland Commission said: "Put real regulatory and enforcement teeth into the Public Service Commission, which for far too long has been a toothless tiger."
- In the presentation, "When it comes to the Long Island Power Authority...it never worked. It never will. The time has come to abolish LIPA"
- The state's plan is to privatize Long Island service which will be overseen by newly empowered PSC
- The new structure must protect ratepayers and tax consequences must keep rates low
Cuomo also plans to establish a world class emergency response network by creating a Statewide Volunteer Corps.
- Create uniform training/protocols of all emergency personnel; SUNY/CUNY will create a program certificate for all emergency workers in the state; and we will create a new statewide stockpile
- Capitalize on the NY spirit of volunteerism
- The Corps will mobilize and organize volunteers based on their skills, interests and resources.
- Establish a statewide NFP Network to help coordinate Emergency Response
- Citizen Education Campaign: Prepare all citizens to be "in home first responders."
"We're responding to the crisis of Superstorm Sandy," said Perales. "We want to train people so they can respond. We want to prepare volunteers so they can help. (During Sandy) all kinds of volunteers came forward and we had no way of organizing them. I think we can establish a network of volunteers."
Cuomo is also disappointed in the amount and speed of federal aid for Hurricane Sandy.
"Right now the concern for us is that Congress has got to come across the money that we're entitled to. When you had Katrina, no one hesitated to provide them the money they needed," said Perales.

You touted the benefits of a storage area network (SAN) to upper management and finally received the funding to invest. You're looking forward to an any-to-any relationship between storage and computers on the network, enabling you to block access to data, increase data access speed and bandwidth scalability, implement redundancy schemes, perform server-free backups, and do all of this and more over distance.
But your work is far from done. Now you have to put that money to task and design a SAN to fit your needs.
To begin architecting your SAN, a variety of elements need to be considered: How large a SAN can or should you build? What overriding framework will you use to manage the SAN? Which type of switch and HBA driver is best for your environment? Should you consider a SAN/NAS hybrid?
To help answer these and other SAN architecture questions, we've compiled the following collection of expert advice, tips and white papers.
SearchStorage.com technical advice on SAN architectures...
- Experts offer dos and don'ts on networked storage
This Q&A interview provides expert advice on common SAN implementation dilemmas and the nuances of handling vendors from three SearchStorage.com contributors: HDS Storage Architect Christopher Poelker, independent author Marc Farley and founder of Dragon Slayer Consulting Marc Staimer.
- Evaluating proposed SAN configurations, part 1 and part 2
Who said building a SAN is easy? SearchStorage.com storage networking expert Chris Poelker dispenses key insights in this two-part Q&A about what to look for when considering a SAN design.
- SAN topologies, part 1: Know your switch options
This tip describes when it's best to use big switches (directors or core switches), when to use small switches (edge or departmental switches) and when to use a mixture (core-edge design).
- SAN topologies, part 2: How to design your SAN
Once you've determined what size switch you need, you have to choose a SAN topology for your design -- mesh or core-edge. SearchStorage.com contributor Simon Gordon offers his points on when to use one over the other.
- Brocade vs. McData: Who's really winning in switch technology?
Knowing your switch options also means knowing who the players are. Get an overview of the top switch vendors and their offerings in this tip.
- Single- vs. dual-fabric SANs
Chris Poelker identifies when and why you would use a dual-fabric SAN design.
- Mixing arbitrated loop and fabric
This tip describes how arbitrated loop devices and fabric switches work in different ways, and why you want to avoid mixing the two.
- Choosing your storage networking protocol
Simon Gordon compares SCSI, iSCSI and Fibre Channel, and describes the expected viability of each protocol in the storage market.
- Strategic decisions for managing SANs
Simon Gordon outlines several considerations for making strategic decisions in your SAN product selection, design, implementation and management.
- Design your SAN for high availability
Here are best practices for building a high availability SAN from the Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA).
- Maximize locality when setting up a SAN
SAN traffic should flow through only one switch as much as possible. Find out why locality is so important in your SAN design.
- Expert webcast: How to sidestep SAN implementation complexities
Peter Galvin, chief technologist of Corporate Technologies discusses what it takes to install a SAN, what to watch out for and how to make the transition go as smooth as possible.
- Expert webcast: Building high performance SAN/NAS infrastructures
In this excellent webcast with SearchStorage.com veteran expert Chris Poelker, he takes attendees on a journey exploring some of the most common storage network topologies he helps architect out in the field. (Get ready for some detailed topology diagrams in this one.)
- Expert webcast: Top SAN interoperability issues: What's still lurking in the weeds
Glasshouse Technologies' Bill Peldzus joined us for an earlier webcast while he was part of Imation Storage Professional Services. Listen to his hour-long discussion on old and new interoperability issues that arise when deploying a SAN.
Also, check out these white papers on SAN design and architectures
Or, ask storage networking experts Marc Farley or Chris Poelker for help.

Springfield, Mass. - April 7, 2010 - The Springfield College men's volleyball team defeated visiting Baruch College in three games on Wednesday evening in a non-conference match in Blake Arena. The Pride won by the set scores of 30-27, 30-23, 30-25 as it defeated Bearcats in straight sets.
Springfield, currently ranked second in the Division III in the latest AVCA Coaches Poll, improves to 17-9, while fifth-ranked Baruch lost for just the fifth time this season as it now stands at 33-5.
Freshman Greg Falcone set another school record in the match as he now owns the program record for most total blocks in a single season. Falcone, who had five blocks in the match, broke Andy Sipe's mark of 163 blocks from 2007. Falcone, who previously broke Sipe's mark for most block assists in a season, now has 164 total blocks in his first year in Maroon and White.
Eric Shoemaker just missed a triple double as the senior setter totaled 42 assists, 10 digs, and eight blocks to go along with three service aces in the victory. AJ Nally totaled a double double with 10 kills and 10 digs, while Cal Palumbo pounded out a team-best 12 kills at a .500 clip. Alberto Bravo chipped in with 11 kills and eight digs and Alex Harrison posted a team-best 12 digs for the Pride.
Sequiel Sanchez finished with match highs in both kills and digs as he recorded 14 kills and 17 digs for the visitors. Pablo Oliveria added 13 kills, while Ivan Andujar dished out 38 assists off the bench. Carlos DeLeon was credited with 10 digs and Eryk Kowalski led the Bearcats with five blocks.
A sluggish start for the Pride resulted in the Bearcats jumping out to a 15-10 lead in the first set. However, Springfield's block came alive as Shoemaker combined for three consecutive blocks, including two with Falcone, to get the Pride back on track. Springfield poured on a 9-2 run to grab a 19-17 lead which it would not relinquish. Baruch battled back within one at 25-24 after an SC service error, but the Pride used a 5-2 spurt to close out the set as Palumbo pounded home his fourth kill of the set.
The Pride carried its momentum into the second as it owned a 12-7 lead after a Falcone kill, forcing a Baruch timeout. The Bearcats chipped away at the lead and used a Kirill Yagnetinskiy ace to cut it to one at 16-15. However, Springfield pulled it together with a 7-1 run to snag a commanding 23-16 advantage. SC's lead shrunk to three at 26-23, but the Pride scored the final four points of the second on four consecutive kills, including two from Jeff Gutmann to own a two-set lead.
A Sanchez kill gave Baruch a 15-12 lead in the third, only to have the Pride rattle off a 6-0 run to own an 18-15 advantage. Falcone made his record-breaking block count as he teamed with Bravo for a double block which tied the match at 15-all. The Bearcats stormed back to tie the set at 20 after a Springfield attack error, but a kill from Bravo coupled with a Baruch error gave Springfield a two-point cushion that would grow to as many as five as the Pride took the final set, 30-25.
The Pride will play its regular-season finale on Saturday afternoon as it takes on Rutgers at 4:00 pm. It will be the Pride's last tune-up before it travels to Wisconsin to try and win the national championship at the 2010 Molten Division III Invitational Championship hosted by Carthage College on April 16-17.

Well, it turned out to be a rare kind of migraine: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110217/...speech_problem
That's pretty far out.

never mind
Actually I had a few such migraines in my late teens and early 20s where I had slurring speech. It was kind of scary but relatively transient.
I had terrible migraines as a child as did my Mom.

This type of migraine is rare in the general population. It's not the first thing that comes to mind when considering the differential.

That is really scary, I have about 1 migraine a week and I have never had something like that happen. The worst is a tingly arm but my speech had never been affected. I hope if it hasn't happened yet, it won't ever. She looked terrified!
I've had speech issues before with migraines. I knew what I was trying to say, but the wrong words came out. It happened at work once and the next day I called the neurologist. I was sent for an MRI because they worried I was 'pre stroke'. It still happens, but to a lesser extent. Saw the video of this and it was scary. Nice to see she's going to be okay.
My niece had an episode where she passed out and when she came to her speech was slurred and one side of her face was numb and "drooping" (she was only 16).
They called the paramedics believing she had a stroke, but the discovered it was a vascular migraine.
It was terrifying!

Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.
I had an ocular migraine last fall--and I don't get migraines. It was scary, I couldn't see fully out of one eye for 10-15 minutes.
so what is she and other patients supposed to do if it happens again? Get a thorough exam each time?
I understand that migraine sufferers are at a higher risk of CVA or stroke.

Here's a conspiracy theory
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...melt-down.htmlA bizarre spate of television presenters dissolving into on-air gibberish has sparked claims that the U.S. military could be to blame.
In four high-profile cases, the latest involving fast-talking Judge Judy, the presenters have started off speaking properly but have then descended into undecipherable nonsense - looking confused and unstable.
Judith Sheindlin, the fast-talking judge on Judge Judy, was taken to hospital on Wednesday after she began speaking a nonsensical string of words during a live recording of her courtroom TV show.
I thought they said Judge Judy was taken for stomach reasons. Maybe it was just an excuse at the time...
"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
I read an article a couple of weeks ago where it mentioned that the reporter suffered a migraine. The person who wrote the article suffered them herself and would do the same thing as the reporter before the onset of a migraine.
I didn't realise migraines could be so bad. I know that people get really severe diabilitatin headaches but never knew that they could get symptoms like that.
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
On the incident with Judge Judy, I heard one report that she was feeling faint on set. She blamed the problem on fatigue and said she would be back filming in two weeks.
Ah. Yes, of course, the US military is to blame for everything, and we all know that the Grammys and a daytime showbiz courtroom are two of the infamous hotbed testing grounds for military maneuvers.
I get migraines about once a month, but I also am occasionally stricken with brief gibberish episodes either before said migraines or standalone. Usually it's just an wrecked sentence, but sometimes longer ... but yes I sound exactly like the reporters in those two clips. My audience is usually one or two people ... and if needed I just stop talking for a few seconds (I'm generally not in the middle of report on nat'l/int'l television).
While the overlying vascular situation has me aptly more worried about future propensity for stroking than I would be (silver lining: I live an even healthier lifestyle than I otherwise might have), I know exactly why what happens happens. And I know what's not to blame. The US military has not been testing its brainwave mixing-up technology on my everyday life for the past 25 years.
Wasn't the original article published on April 1st? Just saying.

Integer Launches Their New Site
We're not exactly sure when this site launched, but two days ago Integer tweeted, "Something is new at integer.com." So we're assuming that was their soft announcement of the new site.
Maybe we haven't had enough coffee this morning, but we find the site oddly designed and quite difficult to navigate. There are many areas that feel like glorified PowerPoint presentations. We might be missing something — but for a global agency with 21 offices around the world, things don't feel completely cooked.
What do you think?
Looks like it was designed by a bunch of drunks.
I love it. Its different, it's interesting, and its unique. If you can't appreciate that, you're opinion isn't worth much.
Looks like they got their ideas from windows mobile.
derka derka derka
the old site was much better: http://web.archive.org/web/20130123183659/http://www.integer.com/
but the new isn't exactly horrible - it just takes too many clicks and is difficult to find what you need. Perhaps they're thinking people will spend time on their site and get lost in a menagerie of boxes.
This site is based on existing Omnicom framework for other brands. I believe TBWA/CD has a similar new framework. So it was probably a little out of Integer's control, and didn't offer much flexibility.
@martinap - that sounds like a horrible excuse for an ad agency. integer should have an awesome website to woo clients and it shouldn't look like any other company. BUT I'm a designer, what do I know.
Here's TBWA\Chiat\Day LA's site, BTW: http://tbwachiatdayla.com/. Resembles Integer's not in the slightest.
Ok... well http://www.tbwa.com/ has similarities.
Despite all of this, it isn't a great site.
You'd think they'd care more.
It's painful to see coming from an agency this big. Looks like a print designer threw it together and decided to toss some bells and whistles in… just not in important areas, like making sure your "responsive" site's navigation doesn't totally drop off the edge when screen is resized.
Before many of you use your name and hate on this site look at your own work first.
It's possible the target audience for their website isn't aimed solely at designers and seems to have a strategic approach of sharing more info than in the past.
This definitely feels more current than their previous site and is more creative than a lot of other sites. Overall though, feels a bit too busy and creates some odd negative space. Mobile version is difficult to navigate as well.
Just looked at my own work first....... still not impressed by your new site.
20 clicks too many to know what you're about
the video definitely captures TIG culture, well done, glad to see it's as vibrant as ever.
The CD for this should be taken out and shot.
Am I missing something here? Once you select an item...like "Thinking" and then select "shopping culture" you loose all navigation. I guess it's on another tab. Then, if you don't want to download the content for an article or case study, there's no way out of the download page...unless you close it down or find the other tab. Confusing and frustrating UI.
Frankly, after searching out some of your work, I'm bored with your comments. Looks like you really have no idea what goes into a website, nor do you have a fucking clue what their goal is. There's a good chance they have no interest in catching the attention of designers. They probably don't need to. I enjoy the unity with their parent company's site, they look like a cooperative team. Nice work, Integer.

A proposed half-cent sales tax billed by supporters as critical for funding public safety and other Los Angeles city services appeared to be heading for a narrow defeat.
The proposition needed 50 percent of the vote to pass in Tuesday's election, but with 100 percent of precincts reporting, it had received only about 45 percent of the vote.
Proposition A would have increased the city's sales tax by a half-cent, putting it at 9.5 percent overall, just under the 10 percent cap imposed by state law. According to the city, Proposition A would have raised about $211 million a year.
Revenue from the tax would have been used to fund the police and fire departments, along with senior services, gang- and drug-prevention programs and street and sidewalk repairs. Some city leaders called it essential to residents' safety, but opponents slammed it as a money grab by a city unable to control its own spending.
In a recent report to the City Council, City Administrative Officer Miguel Santana said passage of the tax is critical to provide continued funding of as many as 500 police officer positions and to maintain other services. Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck and Fire Department Chief Brian Cummings were among the supporters speaking about the need for the tax to pass.
But opponents of the proposition, including former Mayor Richard Riordan, contended the tax proposal was a response to consistent failure by the city to control its spending.
"This sales tax hike is bad for L.A., bad for hard-working Angelenos, bad for job-creating businesses and bad for the city's reputation," opponents wrote in a ballot argument against the measure. "It's a regressive tax that will have a disproportionate impact on working and middle-class Angelenos and encourage consumers to shop in nearby lower taxed cities.
"Worst of all, it doesn't solve the budget crisis, and will make finding real solutions so much more difficult in the future while delaying desperately needed repairs to our streets, sidewalks and other infrastructure."
According to the city, the 9.5 percent tax rate would be on par with nearby cities such as Santa Monica, Inglewood and El Monte.
The city is facing an estimated $216 million budget deficit in the coming fiscal year. In his report to the City Council, Santana said the deficit could jump to $360 million if the measure fails.
Beck and other supporters of the proposal have contended that the tax is critical to maintaining police service and bolstering the fire department.
"Without Proposition A's additional revenue, a minimum of 500 police officers that patrol our neighborhoods will be laid off and our historically low crime rates may be in danger," supporters wrote in a ballot argument in favor of the tax. "... Proposition A will cost the average Los Angeles resident less than 10 cents a day, and by law the tax cannot be applied to food and medicine."

The Bills have announced new defensive end Mario Williams will wear No. 94.
Williams wore No. 90 for six years for the Houston Texans, but current Bills defensive end Chris Kelsay was not willing to give up the jersey, and Kelsay said Williams did not lobby him to give up the number. Williams wore No. 9 in college at North Carolina State. He wore No. 82 in high school.
Defensive end Kyle Moore, a three-year NFL veteran, wore No. 94 for the Bills over the last seven weeks of last season. He was added to the team in November off Detroit's practice squad. Moore is now No. 54 for the Bills.
No. 94 does not have a long history for Buffalo, but it's a good one. Aaron Schobel wore it from 2001 to 2009. Special teams ace Mark Pike wore it from 1987 to 1998. Before that it was worn only by Richard Tharpe and Billy Witt.

In which all but one of K-State active opponents won Sunday — and the one lost at Baylor.
In which Josh Selby descends from the heavens to save Kansas basketball and usher in the final destruction of the already crumbling Kansas State Wildcats.
The Kansas State women's basketball team improved to 6-0 at home this season behind a true team effort, with nine different Wildcats scoring at least five points in the 76-49 drubbing of North Dakota on Wednesday night at Bramlage Coliseum. Taelor Karr led all players in scoring with 16, connecting on 7 of 8 field-goal attempts, marking the first time this season that Karr has led the Wildcats in scoring.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
The location is off, but the Rowskabouts will be keeping most of their promise.
"Before we went on stage for our last reunion show, we swore that we would never do this again," said Doug Dicharry, trombonist for the Rowskabouts. "As the show went on, I guess we said we would do one more show at the end of the world at Mother Nature's Crack."
Thanks to the Mayans, the end of the word is nigh. But because it's too hard to get extension cords to the crack, a beloved spot near Shoal Creek, they'll settle for the Kitchen Pass.
A host of former members will take the stage and play a few of the songs that they made popular in the '90s and early '00s. Though trumpeter Gene Herbert and tenor saxophonist Aaron Gilbert will not be able to make the show, a host of other members will, including Dicharry, drummers Tom Walters and Mike Weston, saxophonist Dale Benfield, trumpeter Adam Speer, singer John Gilbreth, bassist Robbie Corcoran and Seth Fletcher, a "badass drummer we brought in to play guitar," Dicharry said.
The band formed while several of the members were students at McAuley High School in 1995. Ranging from 14 to 16 years old, the band wrote what Dicharry called "some pretty ridiculous songs."
But those songs stuck as the years went by and as the band wrote new ones. The band's ska sound developed a loyal following and toured across the Midwest, including stops in St. Louis and Omaha, Neb. They were part of a lively ska scene that included local bands such as Big Bad Chubba and Hubcap.
Eventually band members moved to different areas, making keeping the band together too difficult. But the memories of playing together and spending time around Joplin during school days keep band members reuniting for shows.
"It's about reliving memories that people grew up with," Dicharry said. "I'm a huge story fan, and I like retelling our stories. It's almost like telling legends with how we've blown things out of proportion."
Dicharry said tonight's show will be a great night of memories and music. After tonight's show, provided the world still exists as we know it, band members will likely reunite again.
Maybe not a reunion show, though.
"I think next year, we'll just do a canoe trip," Dicharry said. "We don't need to play the songs we wrote when we were 15."
Want to go?
The Rowskabouts will perform at 10 p.m. today at Kitchen Pass, located at 1212 Main Street. Admission: $5. Details: 417-624-9095.

So close and yet so far.
As of Wednesday night Measure L, a $39-per-house tax to fund San Leandro public schools, was a mere 25 votes away from the two-thirds margin required for passage.
The Alameda County Registrar of Voters has tallied 21,521 votes on Measure L. The tax would need 14,346 votes to reach two-thirds. The tax has 14,321 votes.
In percentage terms, the measure has 66.54 percent approval. It needs 66.66 percent.
"It's so incredibly close," said Measure L campaign coordinator Deborah Cox.
San Leandro school board member Mike Katz-Lacabe said everything hinges on how many ballots remain to be counted.
"(Given) the continuous gains made each time the vote counts are posted, I'd say it is still possible that Measure L could pass," Katz-Lacabe said Wednesday night.

On 3rd Base Coaching Decisions
by, 07-22-2013 at 11:55 PM (1199 Views)
Lets start with this: I dont care if Aaron Hicks slid or not Joe Vavra blew the call to send him last night in the fourth inning. This is not debatable. I doubt Vavra would debate it. And even had Hicks slipped into some shiny leather and slid like Kate Beckinsale in Underworld, he was still going to be out. It was not close. It was Vavra's mistake that the announcers should have been talking about.
Making outs is a cardinal sin for a third base coach. (Technically, I forget whether its a subset of gluttony or greed.) But in this case, this story is not to beat up Vavra about a bad call. Its just to explain the philosophy a third base coach must have, and the math behind why he must have it. And maybe learn why Vavra could risk a little more on this play.
The basic rule for a 3rd base coach is if you think theres a decent chance your runner can get thrown out, stop him. This can be shown mathematically, which Ill demonstrate below, but it also just makes sense: the value of the extra base, even though its tied to a run, is nowhere near the cost of adding an out AND losing a baserunner at 3rd base.
Sabrmetrics has provided a lot more precision, and it lends a little extra insight in this case. In this game, because the hitter can advance into scoring position on a throw to the plate, that rule is not quite as stringent.
Sabrmetrics, for problems like this, uses something called Palmer and Thorns Run Expectancy Matrix. Pete Palmer and Roger Thorn studied 75 years worth of baseball games and found out the average number of runs that scored in basic situations. (By the way, they did this back in 1975.) You can find it here, but these are the prevalent numbers:
- The average team with runners on 1st and 3rd and one out will score 1.088 runs in that inning. Thats what happens if Vavra holds up the stop sign.
- The average team with a runner on 2nd and two outs will score .348 runs in that inning. Thats what happens if Vavra waves Hicks home and hes thrown out.
- The average team, with a runner on 2nd and one out will score .699 runs in that inning, PLUS they would have already scored a run, so thats 1.699 runs. Thats what happens if Vavra waves Hicks home and hes safe.
So if Hicks is sent home and safe, the Twins gain about .6 runs. If hes out, they lose .75 runs. It doesnt take a math major (just a good algebra background) to see that Hicks needs to be safe about 55% of the time to break even. If Vavra felt it was a coin flip situation, sending Hicks is defendable. (It didnt look like it was, but given Hicks speed, maybe he had additional confidence.)
Now thats just the base rule. It assumes that there are average hitters and average pitchers and average fielders, etc. In this case there were some extenuating circumstances.
For starters, the next hitter was not average. In face, Doug Bernier didnt have a major league hit and he's 32 years old. He might be more likely to strike out or to hit into a double play than an average hitter, so maybe sending the runner makes more sense. Of course, Joe Blanton is on the mound, and he hasn't been an average pitcher. He might be more likely to give up a couple more hits, so maybe it's a better idea not to send the runner. Finally, batting behind Bernier is Joe Mauer, who is a pretty good guy to have up in a clutch situation, which is probably the best reason to keep everyone from risking that extra out. So in this game, its hard to find extra incentive to risk that out.
But the decision to send Hicks by Vavra might not have been as egregious as it initially looked. (And certainly not as bad as it looked after Berniers double.) Third base coaches need to be pretty conservative in general, but as far as picking a moment to be aggressive, this was a pretty good choice.
