2013 Pac-12 opponents announced, Arizona to miss Stanford, Oregon State
Each team played the rest of the conference in a round robin-style schedule, leading to an obvious and uncontested champion at the end of the year.
After all, everyone played a similar schedule, so what would there be to complain about?
Then Colorado and Utah came in and messed things up.
The addition of the two schools caused a shakeup in the scheduling, with each school now missing two from the other division.
For Arizona, that meant no dates with California and Washington State the last two years.
Next year they'll welcome both of those schools back onto the docket, but at the expense of both Oregon State and Stanford.
ESPN.com's Ted Miller broke down the conference opponents for every Pac-12 school, and here's what he had for the Wildcats:
Home: ORE, UCLA, UTAH, WSU.
Away: ASU, CAL, COLO, USC, WASH
Miss: Oregon State, Stanford
Both Oregon State and Stanford are top-25 teams this year, so Arizona looks to have caught a break this season with regards to conference scheduling.
The Wildcats were already slated to visit UNLV and host the University of Texas San Antonio as part of the out of the non-conference schedule.
In comparison, Arizona State will not play Oregon or California next season.

Natalie Ai Kamauu's third CD is filled with her signature soaring vocals and heartfelt delivery of classic Hawaiian mele, along with two new beautiful compositions. A bonus track of "Sanoe" accompanied by a full orchestra will WOW you.
From the artist:
`Ā — to sparkle like a gem……
"`Ā" means to sparkle, like a gem. Iʻm not gonna lie…I love the bling. It makes me sing! Thatʻs not why I named this project "`Ā". For my first recording endeavor, I wanted a name that would catch a few eyes and turn a few heads, hoping to lure a few ears. "`Ē" encompassed all of my feelings and emotions and so it was destiny. It truly was strange, weird and wonderful to say the least.Learn More
Rising in Love
Rising in Love is classic Lehua. Original, rich in romance and supported by an amazing band featuring Shawn Pimental on guitar & drums, Michael Grande on keyboards & piano, Imua Garza on electric & acoustic guitar, Randy Aloya on bass, Kaleo del Sol on guitar & vocals, Jay Dee Mannes on pedal steel, Michael Paulo on - saxophone and Jon Porlas on percussion. While still performing as a vital part of Na Leo, Lehua Kalima spreads her wings releasing this much-demanded solo CD debut.
Lehua's talent extends beyond the sultry tone it lends to the group's sound and her lyrics have been award winning and memorable. Prevailing with three Na- Ho- ku- Hanohano Awards for Best Song of the Year in 1996 for "Flying With Angels," in 1999 for "Rest of Your Life" and in 2001 for "Saving Forever," Lehua thrives in an unmatched category as a lyricist.
While at Kamehameha Schools, Lehua Kalima joined with two good friends, Nalani Choy and Angela Morales to form Na Leo Pilimehana. In their senior year, they won a huge radio competition in Honolulu, Brown Bags to Stardom, playing in front of thousands at the Waikiki Shell. Nineteen albums and 20 Na Hoku Hanohano awards later, they continue to record and perform throughout the world.

On the Summit
From KUmZ, made up of Na Kumu Hula, Karl Veto Baker & Michael Casupang:
"On the Summit...is truly about the journey to the summit and what is learned along the way in reaching the peak. On The Summit is reflective of our lives as they are entwined with the many moments with our students through our hula school, Halau I Ka Wekiu...The halau on the summit."Learn More
You Should Know By Now
Following the selection as Group of the Year at the 2011 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards, the KUmZ duo continues to strive forward in perpetuating the Hawaiian culture through music and dance with their fourth release.
The phrase "You Should Know By Now" comes from the song "Do I Love You?" but it first became familiar to them as their Kumu Robert Cazimero would always say it and write it in notes and cards. The phrase has since stuck with KUmZ as a beautiful way to say I love you to someone and to express that sentiment of love.
The CD is filled with new compositions that tell stories of their haumana, places they have visited, and experiences they have shared together. The CD also features mele that were written by the haumana of Halau I Ka Wekiu.Learn More
`E, `I, and `A are trail markers of her musical expedition which have taken Hawaiian music lovers to new heights, only to fall for her fresh and lilting style. Here, a collection of the songs she penned along the way. Including some of her favorites and three new songs as well. For Natalie it will always be about the journey, so come. Hear her. She will take you there.Learn More

President Obama and Mitt Romney are neck-and-neck in national polls released on the final weekend before Election Day, but Obama's Midwestern "firewall" of Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin is holding and he maintains a distinct advantage in the contest for the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House.
The disparity between the national and state surveys presents two potential scenarios for Tuesday night: The two will converge, with Obama edging up in the national popular vote or Romney surging in battleground states, or Obama could become the second candidate in the last four elections to win the Electoral College and the presidency while capturing fewer votes than his opponent.
The national polling all suggests a tight race. The latest ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll shows the candidates tied with 48 percent of the vote, as does a new Politico-George Washington University Battleground poll. The final NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll of the campaign, slated for full release Sunday night, shows Obama with a 1-point advantage, 48 percent to 47 percent, well within the margin of error.
The last poll from the Pew Research Center, released Sunday afternoon, swung toward Obama, giving the incumbent a slight lead, 48 percent to 45 percent. The week before, the candidates were tied, and Obama has turned around what was a 4-point deficit after the first presidential debate.
Still, the balance of the national polling shows a tied race. Those numbers largely stand in contrast to the battleground-state polling, which shows Obama with a small but perceptible advantage. He's ahead in new polls of Iowa and Ohio, while the polls diverge in Florida and show a tightening race in New Hampshire.
In Iowa, Obama leads in the race for the state's six electoral votes, 47 percent to 42 percent, according to a Des Moines Register poll published in Sunday's editions. The poll shows Romney with a 3-point edge among men, while Obama leads by 12 points among women. More than two in five likely voters, 42 percent, have already voted, the poll found.
Reliable polling from Ohio continues to show Obama with a slight, discernible edge. A CNN/ORC poll released late on Friday had Obama with a 3-point lead, compared to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll that had Obama ahead by 6 points. On Sunday, the Columbus Dispatch released the results of its latest mail survey, which showed Obama ahead by 2 points, 50 percent to 48 percent. (Though mail is considered an outdated survey technique, it was once the most common method for polling, and the Dispatch's results have historically been accurate.)
This weekend's polls in Florida deliver a split decision: Obama holds a statistically insignificant 2-point lead in a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll, while a Mason-Dixon poll conducted for the Miami Herald, Tampa Bay Times and other media outlets in the state shows Romney ahead by 6 points. Florida is considered more essential to Romney's chances than Obama's, but a late advertising push from the Obama campaign shows the Democrats have not given up on the vote-rich state.
The race has tightened in New Hampshire, according to a new WMUR-TV Granite State Poll, which shows Obama and Romney tied at 47 percent apiece. Two weeks ago, Obama held an 8-point lead in a separate survey also conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.
Pennsylvania represents an interesting case, with two polls this weekend showing a tight race. A Muhlenberg College poll conducted for the Morning Call of Allentown shows Obama ahead by 3 percentage points, 49 percent to 46 percent. Meanwhile, Obama and Romney are tied in a new poll conducted by the Republican pollster Susquehanna Research and Polling for the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, each with 47 percent. But that actually represents an improvement for Obama: The previous Susquehanna poll, conducted in mid-October for the Pennsylvania GOP state committee, showed Romney leading by 4 points; Susquehanna is the only pollster to show Romney ahead in the Keystone State in the past few months.
There are some battleground states in which no new reliable, independent, live-caller polls were released this weekend. Polls over the last week have showed the race is neck-and-neck in Colorado, North Carolina and Virginia (an NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll in that state scheduled for release early on Monday will show a dead heat in Virginia), while Obama is leading in Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada and Wisconsin.
The electoral math still favors Obama. If Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada and Wisconsin are added to the list of states safely in his camp, he is at 233 electoral votes. Add Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania to that list, and he could afford to lose Colorado, Florida, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Virginia, where the polls are roughly tied. In that scenario, Obama would still win with 277 electoral votes.
Republicans insist that the public polls are wrong, suggesting that pollsters are making assumptions about the electorate that more-or-less replicate the voters who cast ballots in 2008 and claiming that too many Democrats are being interviewed. But, in most cases, public pollsters make no assumptions. They interview a randomly selected group of voters -- either by randomly dialing phone numbers or selecting random names off voter lists. They make sure they start with a demographically representative sample, but few pollsters make adjustments to that sample to match historical trends with respect to party identification.
It is certainly possible that the polls are less accurate than they have been in the past. Achieving a true random sample of Americans by telephone is harder -- and more expensive -- than ever. In order for Romney to emerge as a winner in the Electoral College, it appears that these polls will have to be proven not just inaccurate but biased toward the incumbent.

Tonight on Good Question, it sounds silly, but do animals who spend a lifetime outside suffer sunburn?
Good question.
Memorial Day weekend, hitting the lake to kick off the summer season, of course, some of you will kick it off with a nasty sunburn. Damage from UV-B rays can lead to serious consequences, like skin cancer. Thankfully, if you like outdoor fun under the blazing sun, there is sunscreen.
But what about animals? Can they have sunburn?
Actually, they can and do get sunburn. Animals with very little hair, like pigs, hippos, and rhinos, are at high risk. To protect themselves, they use nature's sunscreen, like mud and dust. Shorthair cats and dogs are at risk. Whales and dolphins can even suffer sunburn, and, just like humans, it can lead to complications, such as skin cancer. That's why providing shade for your outdoor pets is so important. Its purpose is much more than just keeping the animals cool in the summer.
As for animals in the wild, they seem to know that too much sun is a bad thing. It might be wise to take a cue from Mother Nature this weekend. Don't forget the sunscreen.
If you have a good question, send it to me at firstname.lastname@example.com or find me on twitter at twitter.com/herndon10. I'll answer your good question every Thursday on KAKE News at 10.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

This release was submitted by Osceola Presbyterian Church.
The board of deacons of Osceola Presbyterian Church recently visited the Jardine Academy in Cranford, New Jersey to deliver baskets of kitchen equipment for their vocational programs for children with cerebral palsy. Deacons Jim and Fran Bradley received a warm welcome from the children and teachers for the donation.
Many of the students at the Jardine Academy are in wheel chairs or have partial mobility. Jardine Academy works with the children to have them gain skills to help with independence in their future. One young lady, Sequince Aiken, interviewed the Bradley's for their school paper. Everyone was very appreciative of the donation.
Osceola Church is located at 1689 Raritan Road, Clark, New Jersey and is committed to assisting groups in need throughout the community and the world. Currently a special Advent study is taking place Wednesday's through lent starting with Soup at 6:15 and interactive DVD program ending at 7:45 pm. Books will be available for purchase and study guides will be free. Walk ins are welcome, but a call to the church office at 908-276-5300 is appreciated.

The Vikings' picks are in the books, and we talk about the best and worst values of Minnesota's ten picks.
We have all of the grades for all 32 NFL team draft classes right here.
Most of you already know what I think about grading a draft less than 24 hours after it's over, but if you're interested in that sort of thing, we're rounding up all the grades for you at SB Nation Minnesota.
You can follow some of the newest members of the Minnesota Vikings on Twitter. Here's where to find them!
Trent Dilfer ripped Christian Ponder pretty good over the weekend. . .to which I say, "Good."
The Vikings' final pick of the 2011 National Football League Draft was wide receiver Stephen Burton of West Texas A&M.
The Vikings used their first seventh-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft on Arizona defensive end D'Aundre Reed.
The Minnesota Vikings have selected Ohio State linebacker Ross Homan with the 200th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.
The Minnesota Vikings have selected Slippery Rock center Brandon Fusco with the 172nd overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Milwaukee Film Festival - picks for the last day
So many movies, so little time.
There are 31 films scheduled on the last day of the Milwaukee Film Festival, and you have until about 8 p.m. tonight to catch one, if you haven't already done so.
And if you already have, this is your last chance to see more films than your friends.
Several memorable films that have played previously during the festival will have their final showing:
"Page One: Inside The New York Times," the documentary about tough times and dwindling resources at the paper of record, is at 2:30 p.m. at the Downer Theatre;
"The Human Resources Manager," an Israeli film about the callous character of the title who takes a reluctant road trip with the coffin of a deceased employee, at 4:30 p.m. at the Marcus North Shore;
And "A Good Man," a documentary about choreographer Bill T. Jones, at 12:15 p.m. at North Shore.
But the day's highlight is the closing night film, "On Tour," which Jonathan Jackson, the festival's creative and executive director calls "arguably my favorite."
The film, about a modern-day burlesque manager who brings an American troupe of dancers to tour small villages in France, was directed by its star, Mathieu Amalric, who starred in "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly."
Jackson compared it to the work of American independent director John Cassavetes for its "true fly-on-the-wall emotional approach to direction and cinema."
"On Tour" plays at 7:15 p.m. at the Oriental Theatre.
For a complete schedule and ticket information, go to www.mkefilm.org.

Matthew 25 Ministries of Blue Ash is preparing a third shipment for tornado victims in Moore, OK. The disaster relief organization says it has had more than 600 volunteers since the tornado hit. WVXU photographer Holly Yurchison took pictures as adults and children filled personal care kits.
Hamilton County Commissioners Chris Monzel and Greg Hartmann are calling on the Ohio Kentucky Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) to pull promised dollars from the Cincinnati Streetcar project.
In a letter, the pair say that because of "significant cost overruns" they believe OKI's $4 million could be better spent elsewhere. They also request alternative options for the money's use be brought before the OKI executive council.
They write:
A Labrador Retriever puppy named Maggie is recovering at home after undergoing the first minimally invasive heart procedure of its kind ever preformed in the Tri-State.
The four-month-old was born with a Patent Ductus Arteriosis (PDA), a congenital heart defect.
Typically the defect is fixed through open-chest surgery but Drs. Megan McLane and Maggie Schuckman of the Care Center in Blue Ash used a minimally invasive intravascular technique that drastically reduces the animal's recovery.
The Reds will be unveiling a new statue at Great American Ball Park later this year in honor of Hall-of-Fame Second Baseman Joe Morgan. Sculptor Tom Tsuchiya is putting the finishing touches on it this week at his studio.
If you've been to the ballpark, you're already familiar with Tsuchiya's work. He created the statues of Ted Kluszewski, Frank Robinson, Ernie Lombardi, Joe Nuxhall and Johnny Bench. He's also the artist for several statues at Xavier University, including the one of the Musketeer d'Artagnan, and the new Jesus statue at Solid Rock Church in Monroe.
Hamilton County Commissioners are ordering the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) to suspend work until the City of Cincinnati changes a new hiring policy.
The County owns MSD but it's operated by the city.
On Wednesday, commissioners passed a resolution stopping work on all projects affected by the city's policy. The county argues the policy, which requires an apprenticeship program, unfairly excludes many non-union companies from bidding for construction jobs.

Tim Preston
The Independent
I had a fun adventure last weekend as part of a gang of musicians in a van traveling to an "out in the county" part of Greenup County to play a little bit of music for some truly nice people at a place called the Red Barn Dance Hall.
"We're out in the county ... or in Warnock or Leatherwood," said George Hayes, who owns and operates the alcohol-free venue on Ky. 7 along with his wife, Robin.
Hayes, an excellent keyboard player who took turns providing the solo sections of our unrehearsed set, said the Red Barn was in business long before it came up for sale about five years ago. As a working musician, Hayes smiled as he said, "I was tired of hauling equipment," and explained they have steadily invested and built the place up. Hayes said the dance hall tends to have near-capacity crowds every Saturday night, when the Red Barn House Band (made up of himself, his wife, their son, Christopher, Larry Evans, Paul McWain, Mike Moore and Jim Greenslate) performs classic rock and modern country.
"This is just our weekend hobby," he said, noting he and his wife have regular jobs that keep them busy during the week.
I'm not sure when Hayes takes a break, but he was telling me a little about some of the work they've put into the barn in recent weeks and months, including the addition of a small kitchen. In my notebook I underlined the words "fresh peach cobbler," and scribbled that Hayes makes hot dog sauce according to his own formulation.
I really did enjoy our evening at the Red Barn, and it was refreshing to play music for a sober audience members not afraid to get up and move when they felt the groove. For more information, call (606) 922-9346.
Amish cabins
If you've driven along 13th Street in Ashland lately you've probably noticed an Amish cabin and horse-drawn buggy near Ashland Community and Technical College.
I received a note from Ashland native Linton Wells, who said the model cabin on display at 1712 13th St. is one of several styles available, along with custom units built to meet a customer's specifications. Wells said the company "will have two additional cabin models in different styles there in next few weeks," and added the business can also customize the floor plan for model/size/layout/colors/options and have a structure delivered "in about six weeks."
Amish Cabin Co. has also reached an agreement with a leading regional solar power firm, he said, and offer two "off-grid" solar power options. I have to confess the "off-the-grid" concept is especially appealing to me.
For more information, visit amishcabincompany.com or call Wells' father-in-law, Lew Ferguson, at (606) 922-8401 to make an appointment for an up-close look at the model cabin.
Mexican market
Apparently I am not alone in my desire to find a few specialty items from a good Hispanic grocery, as I've received several reports about the Lapaz Authentic Mexican Grocery Store at the Meade Station Plaza on U.S. 60 in Summit.
While I'm only after a couple of brands of Mexican coffee, I was surprised to hear about the things other people hope to find there. According to a report from my editor, the store even had a visit from our publisher, who is a Texan, while looking for a specific type of wrapper (made of corn husks?) called for in one of his favorite dishes. Another person mentioned the hope to find a beverage I had almost forgotten, tamarindo, while another is seeking a specific brand of commercial mole sauce.
While the grocery was set to open at the first of the month, people close to the project report the owners encountered unexpected delays and are still working hard to get stock on the shelves and welcome customers.
I will keep an eye on it and report when I encounter an "open" sign.
Faraway burger
One of my new favorite field agents recently returned from an almost-cross-country train trip with friends and shared a story about discovering an absolutely fantastic burger while visiting the Strater Hotel/Saloon in Durango, Colo.
The Diamond Burger, he noted, comes with a $12.50 pricetag and is well-worth every penny. I know you can't get one of these things locally, but I enjoyed the description and you never know when you might find yourself in that neck of the woods.
"Cooked the way you ordered it, starts with 10 oz. of rib eye, New York strip, filet and beef brisket. Topped with Port Salut cheese from France, Italian pancetta chips (Italian bacon), roasted garlic and Dijon aioli, cider-soaked caramelized onions and served on a house-made baguette bun with hand-cut fries double fried tossed with garlic, parmesan and fresh parsley," the agent reported.
While trying to figure out where in the world Durango is, I came across this bit of information: "Several well-known movies were made in Durango, including 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,' 'City Slickers,' 'Cliffhanger,' National Lampoon's Vacation,' 'Night Passage,' 'Ticket to Tomahawk,' 'Around the World in Eighty Days,' 'How the West Was Won' and 'Tracker.'"

You aren't alone there, either. Memory Loss can be chalked up to frequent seizures. But, a More Likely source would be your medications.
Notes, chalk boards, dry erase. Exercise your brain Daily. Word games, puzzles, etc. Instant Recall? I just stand quiet till someone clues me in/reminds me. Even then it's likely to be forgotten.
Since your seizures are uncontrolled on your med/dose, consider getting back on the med merrygoround, when your Doc is available. Or do some more 'homework' on Alternative treatments. The VNS may work for you. But, you do have other options, also.
Love Candi
Have you considered any of the Diets for Adults? Atkins, Modified Atkins or GARD.
You do not have to join Phylis's site to read her Articles. There are numerous ones you may want to read on new meds, treatments, etc. Botttom of her page just clik previous page or next page and browse topics till you see something Interesting. MY Personal Opinion: It's All Pertinent to Epilepsy & All Interesting & well written.
Love Candi
After the right temperal lobectomy my memory has increased dramatically. There are some things from the past that I may remember, but not too much from my teen years when I was still having seizures. Most of my teenage years have been lost somewhere in cyberspace
After the brain surgery the clinic did another neuropsych evaluation and I could not believe how much my long term and short term memory had improved. The doctors also stated in the results that my self esteem improved.
Now I am in middle age and starting the peri-menopause stage which I am giving the name perimental pause because I am working too fast and sometimes misplace a note or forget a simple duty at work.
Peri-meno?? Mine started at age 42. Ended at 50? I never understood why women Dread this phase. I Welcomed it. Even w/ the discomforts/side effects. My Mom suggested Black Cohosh. But, it didn't sit well on my tummy. I had Knife Pains. OUCH! No Thank You! So I did my Homework & Soy Isoflavone turned up. I tried it & All side effects diminished & /or were Very Infrequent.
Consider this. Asian women eat this supplement every day. Asian Women do not experience Any discomforts.
You know what? My teen yrs are in cyberspace, also. In fact, a Lot of my memories, B4 & after seizure activity began, are Gone. Yet, from my report cds I noted I had Good Grades. Yet I can't recall classes or teachers or school mates Or Growing Up w/ Family. Hubby & Sue are always Amazed at bits or Pieces I forget. I get ragged on a Lot. But, I take it w/ a smile & a grain of salt. I have accepted that "I'm Not Alone". No matter what caused the memory loss. I know I like to blame meds, but, I realize it could be a combo of meds/seizures &/or Past Traumatic experiences. Physical & Mental. . Especially, since my Sis experiences better recall then I do. And she went untreated for over 50 yrs.
Sorry for ramblin. Hope you have a Great Day. Know I Care! HUGS!

Well, I haven't had surgery. Dana says it improved hers. Peri-meno & aging are starting to catch up Though.
Meg, this is where ya gotta work w/ your DRS. They need to find out if you are even eligible for surgery. Then determine where to go from there. But, individual results Do Vary. And as w/ all Treatments, "What works for one may not work for another". That includes regaining memory. It will depend on where your Focal Point is. (Origin of Seizures) & how much of the problem area is removed.
Or just get back on the med merry-go-round. It is Your Choice. You have Options.
Keep Learning. Asking Questions. HUGS!
Love Candi.
like you my memory has gotton worse, and I must write everything dow. But a friend an be talking to me on the phone, and it goes in one ear and out the other. I can't tell you what we were talking about 5 minutes ago.
I have 4 kinds of seizures, including partial complex and tonic clonic. I just assumed that I was burning out a few more brain cells with each seizure.
But Dancer may be right about the medications. My epilepsy is resistant to medications, and I'm currenty taking 7 different ones. Poor sleep habits, nightmares, always in another world, and sometimes seem drunk. That alone is enough to effect anyones memory I guess.
It's good to see you again. I guess you are still keeping busy?? Thanks for taking 'time out' to respond to Meg.
7 meds??? Shoot yeah, that would be enough to hamper Memory. When are they gonna start weaning you Off some of them meds? Try to get you on Mono-Therapy or Alternative Treatments?
Did you catch my post about 'electrical vehicles/transpo'? Approved for PPL w/ Epilepsy. HUGS!

I had a problem with memory before my lobectomy in '02. Years before the lobect a doctor told me that my ep would eventually affect my hippocampus. I believe that area of the brain has a lot to do with memory in addition to the temp lopes.(is that right, Candi?)
One of my biggest problems was my short-term memory. I knew the stuff but couldn't readily recall it. FRUSRATING!!!! People's names just wouldn't come to mind until they were gone. UGH!! I feared up-coming tests because I knew the material but I wasn't able to immediately recall it.
Like Candi, I started using small notes or visual reminders of many things. Have you thought about keeping a bullentin board in an area that you use daily. You know, next to the front door, on your bedroom wall, next to the computer. Having those notes in an area that is readily available might be of help.
My lobectomy helped my memory greatly. I started recalling faces, names, streets, phone numbers, etc that I hadn't thought about in yrs. These things were deep in my memory.
We take our meds to slow the over-active brain impulses. It is a strong possibility that the meds are also slowing down your immediate recall or short memory. (am I on the right track, Candi?)
We all are forgetful about something. Find an activity that you are comfortable with that might help strengthen your memory.
Frustrating and embarrasing as this is for all of us, we can't give in to it. I wish you well on your search for a solution or help in this discomfort.
As Candi suggests, find some word puzzles,
Love ya & Hugs!

The 12-15 complex partial seizures each month were wearing me down and I did not want my family to be walking on pins and needles especially when I lived alone. I was also concerned with aging about the possibility of having convulsions again.
It was great to have a dramatic drop with medication levels. I only have to take 2 medications in the AM and 2 in the evening which is a dramatic decrease compared to 3-4 in the AM, noon and evening.
my short term memory is shot.
SOmone can say something to me and I can not remember what they said 5 minutes later, and it is ususaly when they are asking me about something or to do something or the like. I have a real hard time with it.
I have Complex Partial sz and have for 8 documetned years.
my mom and neurologist think by the given hx that they have talked about along with me that I have had EP all my life.
I was still wetting the bed at 16 years old. Sz he said, probably Grand Mal.
and now with the CPSs, Iha ve impaired szs. MOst of the time I can never recall anything. and go on not remembering i even had one.
My husband and my mom can say stuff to me but i cna notrespond and other times zippo.
Ihave wandered out in the street in the neighborhood multiple times wandeered in the house several times, was only told about this, I do not remember it atall.
I have bizzare behaviour as well.
but yes as far as the memory goes yes you can have a messed up memeory, I have a head injury that has caused some brain damamge.
in dec of 2002 I skidded of the raod at an intersetion and hit a tree head on. Was hauled away and had my ist sz 8 months later it was a grand Mal. The CPS actcvitivy moved so fast that all anyone could see at that point was teh GM. All of that was the night before my college graduation.
we were all stuffed in a motel to move to PHX after teh graduation. my mom, her sister, and a really close friend.
Tey were wst ill up and whitnessed it for about a minute, I guess before they woke my mom up to finish wat ching it.
REal life cahnger.
Got to PHX and fouinf a neuro and started with the testing.
after 6 months of tes ting they determined I had the disorder. Left Anterior Temporal Lobe EP.
sorry I ramabled, but yes you can lose your memeery with repeated szs, I did.

I've struggled with grand mal, juvenile myoclonic, petit mal, etc. since I was a child. My memory really started going bad with menopause and an increase of my seizure activity. I added Keppra and began smoking marijuana. Although marijuana contributes to memory malfunction, it beats out the aura.
I have to write everything down in my calendar, sticky notes on my bathroom mirror, etc. I guess I've just surrendered to a poor memory and choose to work with it by writing things down. I'm lucky to have my family close to help with the memorization issues!

Along Kochstrasse… part 2
Continuing a wander down the street…
Dumbly, I hadn't recognised this building, despite the fact that it has a big sign saying 'TAZ' on it. It's the TAZ building. And it was a part of the IBA, apparently. It's a quite un-IBA building though, a bit more British High-tech than the usual postmodernism. It appears to be entirely made of glass, and for its age (late 80s) I wonder how cold that must be. I sound like my mother.
Actually, the image shows the extension, the TAZ building includes the older, substantially rebuilt buidling to the right.
Anyway, across the road is another block built as part of the 1987 IBA, by Hans Kammerer, Walter Belz and Klaus Kucher, on the corner at Kochstrasse 59/Charlottenstrasse 83 – part of Block 5, if you need to know.
It's on the opposite corner from Sauerbruch & Hutton's very fine GSW building (photo thanks, runningforasthma):
It's classic IBA, with downplayed street facades, but 'gives good courtyard', with its own little world tucked away from the busy main road. Actually, I say 'busy main road' – of course this is Berlin, so it looks like a busy main road, but has the traffic flow of a quiet village.
See what I mean? I particularly like the spirally entrance ramp, which I attempted to cycle up, which left me less-than-impressively jammed against a bend at one point, to the amusement of a resident coming in.

The Valdosta Daily Times
With classes starting on Monday for Valdosta State University, a new class of freshman students are starting out on their college careers.
But what about after that? Some freshmen come in with a clear idea of the career path they want, only to change their minds several times throughout their degree. Others come in with no idea beyond a vague notion of what they don't want to do.
And all are welcome at VSU's Office of Career Opportunities
"Most students who come to see us, they have an idea or they think they have an idea," said Dr. Gerald A. Williams Jr., Director of Career Opportunities. "Even the student that's undecided has an idea."
Career Opportunities, or CO, located in Powell Hall West on VSU's main campus, works with students to help them figure out what it is they want to do post-college. They start with counseling sessions, talking to students about what they're interested in, what their life goals are and what makes them happy.
"We don't want you to just go out and get a job, because you can get a job and be miserable. We really want you to determine what vocation will bring you satisfaction."
Counselors also utilize several tools, such as the Myers-Briggs Personality Test, to help students discover more about themselves and what career fields might mesh best with who they are.
"Part of it is self-discovery...You have a good year to discover yourself, but by the end of the second semester, we want you to have a good idea of where you want to go."
Once that's figured out, Career Opportunities helps them develop their own skills and find opportunities in their fields. Of course, figuring out what you want to do with your life can be hard enough, to say nothing of gaining experience and landing a job in your discipline.
That's why CO has developed a four-year plan for students.
In the second year, students investigate career options in the field they've decided to go into, talking with people in the field and searching for hands-on learning in that field: part-time jobs, internships, shadowing.
"Some majors require you to do an internship or shadowing, but we want you to get those experiences even if it's not within your academic requirement."
CO works both with large companies and smaller, mom-and-pop operations to help students find part-time work and internship opportunities. In turn, they also help those smaller companies, offering workshops for how to attract and retain good employees.
"Students come to get the degree, but we need to make sure that our students are marketable."
The third year finds students focusing on the specific jobs and positions within the field they are interested in and developing their resume. Students are also encouraged to investigate graduate and professional schools if they have an interest in pursuing a second degree.
In the fourth year plan, students gear up for post-graduation, networking, researching companies, learning strategies for job searching and job interviews.
"Once a student graduates, you want to go ahead and have relationships with companies and corporations outside of the Lowndes county area. Our students don't all graduate and stay here...For us, it's not just can you write a good resume, it's can you compete in Lowndes County and can you compete in China, can you compete in Georgia and California?"
CO's career counselors work to prepare students to compete. It's a job that requires constant attunement to where industries are. In the time it takes a student to finish a bachelor's program—four to six years on average—an industry can go through massive changes.
"Technology touches every industry, no matter what the industry is...and it's exponentially going faster."
It's a fact that's true even at Career Opportunities, where they are developing their social media presence to reach more students earlier.
"We're having to rethink how to reach our students. We've got to do Twitter, we've got to do Pinterest, all of that...The emails, the letters, that's not working...If we can see them on that first semester, we can start that dialogue earlier and that's going to guide their academic decisions."
While Williams would prefer all students to come in during their first year, CO works with many students in their second, third, even fourth year who are coming in for the first time.
"We'll find you where you are and get to you where you need to be."
This continues even after graduation, with CO offering their services to any and all alumni of VSU.
"As long as you have come through these doors and graduated, you can always come back to this department. Particularly with how the economy is, a lot of people have lost their job or employment. They can still come back. As long as you're an alumni, we're going to do whatever we can. We're committed."
Indeed, that's something that Williams wants to develop more, the relationship between the office and alumni.
"All of our services are available for alumni. You have people out there who charge an arm and a leg for the same services we do for free or a small fee."
That stretches all the way from alumni who have just graduated back to alumni who graduated decades ago.
"It's a challenge, but everyone has something to give, no matter what stage of life they're in."
Many of CO's services can also be used online, reaching out to alumni who have moved away or back home since graduating. Additionally, VSU has been growing its online presence in recent years, offering more online class options, and with that comes more online students. Career Opportunities is also working to also serve that segment of the student population.
"We're utilizing technology to better serve our online students and our alumni. We're doing everything we can to get students to employers and employers to students."

gprof, bprof and Time Profilers
A friend of mine was explaining to me why he thought his program wasn't running fast enough. "Have you profiled it?" I asked. "No, but I'm pretty sure I know where the bottleneck is," he replied—famous last words. "Well, let's try the profiler," I said. Profiling quickly revealed that 98% of the CPU was being spent in one subroutine of my friend's program and that 86% of the CPU was being spent in one line, and he was wrong about the location of the bottleneck.
Profilers are invaluable tools that let you know where a program is spending most of its time. This information is extremely valuable because it tells you where your time can best be spent in making your program more efficient and where you are wasting your time. Typical programs are not quite as lopsided as in the above story. The "80-20" rule says that a program will spend 80% of its time in about 20% of the code.
If the total running time of a program is n, then we can break up the running time into pieces:
total-time = a1*n + a2*n + a3*n + ...
where the "a"s represent fractions of the total time that your program spends in a particular segment. The sum of the "a"s must add to one. The 80-20 rule says that one of the "a"s will be quite large. For example, suppose a1 is 8/10 and a2 is 2/10. These numbers correspond to a program which spends 80% of its time doing a1 and 20% for everything else.
total-time = .8*n + .2*nNow suppose we optimize a2 so that it runs twice as fast as before—a significant speedup. The time 0.2*n is now 0.1*n. The total running time is now 0.8n+0.1n = 0.9n, meaning the whole program executes in 90% of the time that it originally did. Suppose we instead concentrate on the other piece. If we halve the running time of the first piece, it becomes 0.4n. 0.4n+0.2n=0.6n, or 60% of the original running time. As you can see, it is worth our while to concentrate on the particular portion of the program that dominates the runtime.
In my friend's case, we were able to optimize that single line a bit. The real optimization came two days later when he told me that he had removed the whole subroutine in question, simply by changing how he thought about his data.
The easiest profiler to use under Linux is the gprof profiler. gprof is a standard part of the GNU development tools. If you have gcc installed, you probably have gprof too. To use gprof, simply recompile your program with gcc using the -pg switch. This option causes gcc to insert a bit of extra code into the beginning of each subroutine in your program. The -pg switch must also be used when you link your program, since another snippet of code must be present to tie the pieces together.
After recompiling, run your program. It will execute slightly slower because of the work needed to profile the code, but it shouldn't be too slow. After the program finishes, there will be a file named gmon.out in the current directory. This file contains the profiling information collected during the program's run. gprof is used to print this in a human readable form.
gprof outputs information in two ways: a flat profile and a call graph. The flat profile tells you how much time the program spent in all of the subroutines, and the call graph tells you which subroutines called which subroutines.
The first part of a flat profile is shown in Listing 1. The "self seconds" column shows how much time was taken up by each subroutine. The number of times each subroutine was invoked is shown in the "calls" column. The "self ms/call" columns gives the average time in milliseconds spent in a given subroutine, while the "total ms/call" includes time spent in subroutines called by that subroutine as well. For reasons explained in the gprof documentation, this last column is actually only a guess and should not be relied upon.
In this example, an important thing to note is that the mcount subroutine is the actual profiling subroutine call inserted by gcc when it compiles code with the -pg switch. The fact that the program spends nearly 20% of its time here indicates that a lot of calling and returning is happening, and that one way to speed up the code would be to eliminate some of the subroutine calls. Which ones? The subroutines rnd and uni are likely candidates, since they are called 142 million times in 900 seconds.
The other profiler in common use on Linux is bprof. The major difference between bprof and gprof is that bprof gives timings on a source line basis while gprof has only subroutine-level resolution, and also includes information like invocation counts. To use bprof, link an object file, bprof.o, into your program. After you've run your program, a file named bmon.out contains the timing information. Run bprof on this data file, and it makes copies of your source files with timing numbers prepended to each line.
progress has been made
"The easiest profiler to use under Linux is the gprof profiler"
We've come a long way since 1998. Check out Zoom - http://www.rotateright.com or even oprofile.

Flat Profile
We are using Flat profile in order to analyse our program. But the calls column for all the functions does not show any value. We are unable to figure out what is the problem. Please tell us a solution as quickly as possible. Thanks in advance.

error on running gprof
I am using gprof for profiling my code compiled using gcc in Linux.
the code runs fine and generates gmon.out
but when i give gprof it is giving error
"gprof: datalogger(which is the name of my executable):not in a.out format"
what can be the possible reason?
anybody please suggest.
I am trying to profile my code on Linux using Gprof
However it is showing incomplete data
Also it is showing the cumulative sec and self sec as all 0.00
I tried profileing in HP 11i there gprof is doing name mangling
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.
