Students experience 'Italy Abroad'
May 06, 2009
Ten students recently returned from Bryan's Italy Abroad semester, bringing with them a new understanding of a missions lifestyle as well as 19 academic credits.
Danielle Rebman, associate for spiritual formation in the Office of Student Life who coordinates the program, said Italy Abroad is designed to offer students close contact with church-planting missionaries as well as a curriculum that takes advantage of the country's history and culture.
Because of its modular format, students generally complete one course a week, leaving weekends free for travel or exploring the area around Saints Bible Institute in San Lorenzo, home base for the program.
Kaity Kopeski, a sophomore from Dayton, Tenn., said Italy Abroad gave her the chance to fulfill a dream of studying in another country. Italy's history and art made the program particularly attractive. "During travel week, which is part of the Fine Arts class, we traveled to Rome and Florence and Venice. My favorite places are the quaint towns close to the school. I just take a train and spend the day enjoying the outdoor cafes and flowers."
Alaina Woodall, a sophomore from Mascot, Tenn., used one of her free weekends to travel to Ireland to get a taste of her Irish heritage. She also appreciated "traveling through Austria, Germany, and Switzerland on Spring Break. The scenery we saw on the train, and the historically significant things that we saw like the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Wall, The Alps, and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra" made a lasting impression.
The program includes several planned trips, and students visited Verona, Udine, Paris, Trieste, Florence, Venice, Bologna, Slovenia and Milan.
"Sometimes it's easy to forget that I'm not in the States because we spend all day in classes around other American students, but there are little reminders that I'm in a foreign country," Kaity said. "We're in the middle of the country and we have to walk 40 minutes to do laundry or go to the grocery stores. The language is a constant barrier, but it makes for some good mistranslation stories."
For Alaina, "The biggest difference (between school in Italy and at Bryan) is that the environment is much more relaxed and slow than it is at Bryan. Our weekends are pretty much free because we are changing classes at that time. Also, you get to know the people much better because you see each other all the time. You are able to meet new people from different places that you would not have been able to meet, you get to experience life in a completely different culture, and you get to eat home-made Italian food for every meal."
Ms. Rebman said the program has grown in positive ways since she was part of the first class in 2006, and it has kept its life-changing impact. "This was one of the most formative experiences for me while I was a student at Bryan," she said. "We want students to have more than simply an academic experience; we want them to come away with a new understanding of Christ's influence on every culture."
The Italy Abroad Semester runs from late January to late April. Prospective students should talk with Ms. Rebman before July 7, to apply and qualify for a tuition discount. For more visit the Italy Abroad web site.

For my first FanPost on Arkansas Expats I would like to introduce a College Baseball post season power metric, it shall be entitled the Banner Achievement Utilization Metric (BAUM). Thanks to heathhog for helping with the name. My idea for the BAUM started while sitting at the Razorbacks opening game last Friday. The outfield wall is starting to get fairly crowded with postseason appearances, in fact, most fans have come to expect the Diamond Hogs to at least make a Regional, if not host one.
The item running through my mind at that game was, how many other teams have made it to the post season as many years in a row as the Razorbacks. A little review came up with the following teams that have made the postseason since 2002.
Arizona State
Cal State Fullerton
Florida State
Miami (FL)
North Carolina
Oral Roberts
South Carolina
Much more after the jump.
This list is fairly impressive, the Hogs are in great company here. Any parent's-basement-dwelling-baseball-numbers guy can't help but wonder how these teams compare to each other, so I put numbers to it. The first attempt looked something like this.
0.34 Florida State
0.35 Texas (2002, 2005)
0.37 Arizona State
0.40 Cal State Fullerton (2004)
0.44 Rice (2003)
0.44 Miami (FL)
0.46 South Carolina (2010)
0.52 Arkansas
0.60 North Carolina
1.01 Oral Roberts
The numbers in front are not the BAUM, but they do represent the BAUM in its adolescent form. The number in parentheses are years in which that team won the College World Series between 2002 and 2009.
Adolescent BAUM explained: I took the regional seed for each year and divided by 2011 minus the year to give more recent appearances more weight (i.e. Arkansas would get 3/3=1 for 2008 because they were a three seed and 2011-2008 is 3). All nine years added up and divided by nine gives you the teams value. Hind sight has me wondering why I divided by nine, it was meant to give some kind of annual value, but it was not necessary.
Wow, look at that! The Hogs are a top eight team over the last nine years! This is; however, flawed logic at best. There are some big teams missing here that deserve comparison (namely LSU and Clemson). Is it fair to say that if you missed one year in the last nine, you should not be considered comparable for post season success? Maybe it is, but I had a gut feeling some teams would out do the Hogs when stacked up in some kind of magical power metric.
At this point, some reference should be made to past work. Bruinstyle2001 did some similar work on this back on ought nine (link, must be logged in to view). No more waiting! here is the most awesomely magical college baseball postseason power metric, the BAUM.
The BAUM:
How to put value to certain appearances? Here's how:
1 Regional Seed 4
2 Regional Seed 3
3 Regional Seed 2
4 Regional Seed 1
5 Lose Super Regional
6 Win Super Regional
7 1 Win at CWS
8 2 Wins at CWS
9 Runner Up
10 Win CWS
Of note is that you barely get more for a four seed than not going. This also weighs in the regular season a bit by using seeding instead of regional performance. It also doesn't give some astronomical importance to winning the CWS, or else we could simply add up trophies and rank people, how much fun is that?
How to weight last year more than previous years:
1.00 1 old
1.33 2 old
1.66 3 old
2.00 4 old
2.50 5 old
3.25 6 old
4.00 7 old
5.00 8 old
6.50 9 old
8.00 10 old
These numbers are dividers, so the older an appearance, the fewer points you get. This has some number massaging trickery in it, we geeks call it a log scale. Basically, you get many more points for resent appearances and it falls off fast near the end. I like this because in college baseball, teams can really reinvent themselves in just a few years. So data that is ten years old is approaching irrelevance.
You may already notice that this is the inverse of adolescent BAUM in that it is better to have a larger number. It also goes back an entire decade, instead of just a Hogcentric nine years. Data was pulled from d1baseball.com for 2003-2010 and wikipedia.org for 2001-2002. I continue to divide the overall number by the number of years, in this case ten, for I refuse to let go of this irrelevant step.
181 teams have made the college baseball postseason in the last ten years, of them, here is the top 30 by BAUM.
1 4.752 Arizona State
2 4.716 Cal State Fullerton (2004)
3 4.652 Texas (2002, 2005)
4 4.646 North Carolina
5 4.431 South Carolina (2010)
6 4.339 Miami (FL) (2001)
7 4.246 Clemson
8 4.232 Florida State
9 4.212 Rice (2003)
11 3.129 Arkansas
13 2.806 Florida
14 2.776 Virginia
15 2.720 Stanford
16 2.664 Oklahoma
18 2.391 Georgia
19 2.382 Mississippi
20 2.358 Oregon State (2006, 2007)
21 2.162 Georgia Tech
22 2.141 Coastal Carolina
23 1.988 UC Irvine
24 1.978 Louisville
25 1.798 Texas A&M
26 1.720 Alabama
27 1.651 Vanderbilt
28 1.493 East Carolina
29 1.448 Baylor
30 1.440 Southern Miss
There you have it, top 30 BAUM for the decade 2001-2010. I am considering looking at this by conference.
Opinion: Great job coach D on handing a valuable program over to DVH. Great job DVH on continuing and building on that valuable program. Arkansas may not have a national championship yet, but with continued post season appearances comes greater probability of getting hot at the end and winning it all.

Add a little magic to your classroom through Disney Musicals in Schools—an outreach initiative that develops musical theatre programs in New York City public elementary schools!
Five schools are selected to participate each year's program free of charge. Any New York City public elementary school is eligible to apply. NOTE: The 2013 deadline has already passed, but check back next fall to learn about the 2014 program.
Selected schools will receive:
Disney Musicals in Schools presents a special opportunity to introduce the collaborative art of musical theatre to your school, strengthen your arts programming, and develop partnerships among students, faculty, staff, and the greater community.
Disney Theatrical Group will select up to five New York City public elementary schools to participate in this year's Disney Musicals in Schools residency program.
Selected schools will receive free performances rights (valid for one year) to a Disney KIDS musical of their choosing as well as a complimentary ShowKit. The ShowKit includes materials and resources to aid teachers in producing, directing and choreographing the show.
Selected schools will commit a team of at least three, but no more than five, teachers and staff members to the program. At least one of these individuals must be an arts specialist (of any discipline). This School Team will receive onsite support and training from a team of two Disney Teaching Artists during the rehearsal and production process (during a 90 minute school visit each week).
The Disney Teaching Artists will serve as production and creative advisors who will train and empower the School Team to run the program themselves. The Teaching Artists will guide the School Team through both production management (developing a rehearsal schedule, running auditions, and addressing technical and physical production requirements) and the creative execution of the show (direction, choreography, acting and design). The Teaching Artists will also advise on cross-curricular connections and provide guidance on involving parents, the school community, and the wider community in this project.
Disney KIDS Musicals are designed to be produced on any budget. Disney Teaching Artists will work with selected School Teams to create a production within the budget the school is able to allocate to this project.
Lastly, the selected schools will participate in a culminating Disney Musicals in Schools Student Share Celebration. At this spring event, each school will share selections from its production at a Broadway theatre.
Selected schools will be expected to:
Disney will provide performance rights, ShowKit materials and onsite Teaching Artist support at no charge to selected schools. Selected schools will be responsible for a production budget. Disney KIDS Musicals are designed to be produced inexpensively, and have been successfully mounted within a budget of $300-$1500. Disney Teaching Artists will work to maximize the school's production budget by using reclaimed and existing materials, such as cardboard boxes and tee-shirts brought from home. Any additional costs, such as participating through an after-school (rather than classroom) program, will be the school's responsibility. The NYC Department of Education advises that such costs can include the out-of-school time that teachers and faculty work.

I must learn to dive
Whenever I try to talk about something serious, a real issue, I always have a song or a clip from a film to help me visualise my thoughts. I have never really understood why.
At first I was afraid to speak the truth
Thinking my words were not enough to make you see my pain
But now I've spent so many night thinking how I did you wrong
and I don't know
But I do not want to have to lie to you any more
How do you stop lying and just speak the truth? I want to try, but there are so many obstacles. I have been hurt one to many times because of trying. Is it worth it? People say that "you do not know unless you try" but that just makes me want to slap them. If you try and always succeed, of course you won't be afraid because you know it will be alright somehow. But if you always try and get burned? If you extend your arms and the one promising to catch you lets go? If you never have felt that you can trust someone to one hundred percent since everyone always left when it became to hard? If you tried to make it work, but only ended hurting yourself?
How do you know that it will be different this time?
I guess never.

RALEIGH — Jiri Tlusty says he has seen Alexander Semins funny side.
Tlusty said he sees it surface in the Carolina Hurricanes locker room, away from the media, when its just the players. The two forwards sit side by side in the room at PNC Arena and Tlusty, a native of the Czech Republic, says he knows just enough Russian to get Semin going.
"Ill joke around and Ill say something in Russian and hell start laughing so hard," Tlusty said.
Such as?
"Its usually the bad words you know in a different language," Tlusty said, smiling. "So Ill say them from time to time and he starts laughing.
"Hes been great. He jokes around with the guys. Hes getting used to us and opening up more and more every day. I think hes enjoying his time more and more."
Semin doesnt talk about such things publicly not very often. He shies away from interviews, preferring to go his own way and just play hockey.
But his body language has been positive. He appears to have found his place on this Hurricanes team, found his place on Eric Staals line, often with Tlusty at the opposite wing. He moves about the locker room and the ice with a confident, purposeful stride, belying any reputation he gained in Washington with the Capitals as a player who could be diffident, disinterested at times.
Ah, yes, Washington.
Semin will be making his return Tuesday, facing for the first time the NHL team that made him its first-round draft pick in 2002. While Alexander Ovechkin always has been the Caps biggest star, the biggest Russian in town, Semin scored 197 regular-season goals in seven seasons with the Caps and had a career-high 40 in 2009-2010.
An unrestricted free agent after last season, Semin said goodbye to the Caps, to his adopted U.S. home. He signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Hurricanes, only to have the NHL lockout delay his debut with his new team and his first game against his old team.
Now, hes back.
"You have to know this will be a special game for him," Canes defenseman Jay Harrison said.
Semin, 28, will go into it off his second three-point game of the season. He had a goal and two assists Sunday as the Canes (9-7-1) rallied past the New York Islanders for a 4-2 road win that pushed them back into first place in the Southeast Division.
A heavy Semin shot on a second-period power play resulted in Eric Staal whacking the puck out of the air "My ol baseball swing, Staal said for a goal. Less then a minute later, Semin had the primary assist on Jordan Staals goal that tied the score 2-2.
Bobby Sanguinettis third-period goal gave the Canes a 3-2 lead. Semin then sealed it with a late empty-net score, his fourth goal of the season.
Semin has 10 assists, and none more notable than the ridiculously impressive between-the-legs pass to Tlusty for a goal Thursday against Winnipeg. He has 57 shots this season but often has been a pass-first player.
"He came from a different system in Washington and its going to be a big adjustment for anybody," Eric Staal said. "But hes a fun guy to play with. He has a ton of skill. He can make plays down low, plays in the neutral zone and really shoot the puck.
Tlusty recalled how Semin once tormented the Hurricanes and noted a tight-angle shot Semin had that beat goalie Cam Ward in a game last season.
"Glove-high on Wardo, short side, little room and he did it," Tlusty said of the shot. "He always seemed to score nice goals against us. Hes a sniper."
Canes coach Kirk Muller said Semins playmaking ability has been a bit of a surprise. Another has been Semins effective back-checking and defensive play.
As Muller said, theres a reason Semin has a plus-10 rating through 17 games. While a crafty offensive player, Semin also is a smart player in the defensive zone and knows how to best use his 6-2, 209-pound frame.
"Hes a strong man, strong on his skates," Canes defenseman Joe Corvo said.
Semins future with the Hurricanes remains to be seen and big decision must be made after the season by both sides. But neither appears to have any qualms about the situation for now.
"Weve enjoyed being around him and its one of those things where you get more comfortable as you go," Eric Staal said.

Judge orders Morgans' arrest
Date: July 16, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The clock read 10:05 a.m., and Judge Richard Lazzara issued one last call for John and Marian Morgan.
"Will you go sound the halls?" Lazzara asked a Tampa federal court employee.
But the Sarasota couple accused of operating a Ponzi scheme that has cheated investors out of at least $14 million were not in the hallway — or the Tampa federal courthouse.
"Well, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan," Lazzara sighed. "Madame clerk issue a warrant for the arrest of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan. They have to understand this is serious business."
A man watching the proceedings in the back of the courtroom, who said he was a victim of the alleged investment fraud but wanted to remain anonymous, said he was pleased with the judge's order.
"I love it," he said. "Life is good."
John and Marian Morgan were ordered to appear before Lazzara July 16 to explain why they should not be held in contempt of court. In a June 25 court hearing before Lazzara, the couple agreed to stop work on the investments operated by their company, Morgan European Holdings (MEH), which has offices in Sarasota and Denmark. They also agreed to a freeze of all assets related to those investments.
But in an e-mail to investors sent just after that June court hearing, Marian Morgan said they were still operating their business.
"We high-tailed it out of Tampa and flew back overnight to Europe, so that we could focus on getting the Morgan European Holdings stuff done, once and for all, and not have it hanging over our heads," she wrote.
"They cannot serve us (legal papers) in Europe. Please don't be worried about your funds. They are completely out of the USA jurisdiction."
The SEC, which is suing the Morgans over the alleged Ponzi scheme, said that e-mail was evidence the Sarasota couple was violating the judge's order.
SEC attorneys told the judge they have not confirmed that the Morgans are actually in Europe, but do believe they are in Denmark. Lazzara said if they are overseas, they would be arrested at the airport upon their return.
After the hearing, Polly Atkinson, the SEC's lead attorney, said that the Morgans failure to appear would be used as another piece of evidence against them. If the Morgans are arrested, Atkinson believes they would not be offered bail.
"This is federal court," she said. "You're supposed to do what (the judge) says. It's rare that defendants don't show up."
Atkinson estimates she's tried a dozen Ponzi cases in her 14-year career at the SEC. And, while she says that most of them are similar, she said there is something different about the Morgan case. For example, the e-mails sent to investors in which the Morgans admit they are violating court orders and their failure to appear in court on contempt charges.
"Their behavior is perplexing," she said.

I have quietly often wondered this, and just wanted to get some others opinions on it
Most of my examples have fights that included oscar.
Mosley v/s Delahoya....became business partners
Floyd v/s delahoya......business partners
Hopkins v/s delahoya....Business partners
the Hopkins fight for example seemed very shady to me. Look at the punch Roy Jones hit virgil hill with, then watch that fight. Did Bernard let Oscar save face by winning a few early rounds then take a dive, without taking a beating for the good of his promotional company?
Floyd and Oscar was a snore fest, looked like one was scared, and the other was glad of it.
Mosley and delahoya never a closer set of bed buddies than these two
Is it just my opinion, or do others feel we may have been had?

Arizona vs. San Diego State preview: Wildcats, Aztecs have evolved since first meeting
Originally published: Mar 26, 2014 - 9:42 pm
The top-seeded Wildcats played San Diego State in each of the last two seasons, with the Wildcats winning both -- including a 69-60 contest in San Diego earlier this season on Nov. 14 after taking down the Aztecs in the final seconds of the championship game in last season's Diamond Head Class.
And that's not where the familiarity ends. Both teams are defensive-minded, holding opponents to worse than 40 percent from the floor. The Wildcats boast the most efficient defense in the country, at 87.2 points per 100 possessions, while San Diego State yields 90.3.
But while the name on the opponent's jerseys will look familiar to each team Thursday, the teams wearing them may not.
One key player for the Wildcats has seen his season come to an end while another has been coming on strong. For the No. 4-seed Aztecs, two players with key roles didn't even see the floor against Arizona in that first matchup.
Here's a look at the biggest changes since the first meeting:
For Arizona
Defense has long been the calling card for this year's Arizona team, but the offense has emerged as a dangerous one. The Wildcats have excelled at turning defense into easy transition buckets, and with the likes of T.J. McConnell, Nick Johnson, Aaron Gordon and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson running the break, that's a dangerous combination.
Still, this Arizona team isn't the same one that won 21 straight games and spent eight weeks at the No. 1 spot in the AP poll. Here's a look at what has changed for the Wildcats:
Loss of Ashley
Brandon Ashley didn't play a huge role in Arizona's win over SDSU earlier this season -- he scored six points and grabbed six rebounds in 25 minutes -- but the threat of what Ashley could do may be what the Wildcats miss most.
Ashley was one of Arizona's biggest outside scoring threats, and he had the ability to create penetration off the dribble. The UA offense struggled in its first few games without him, but seems to have found a groove with sophomore guard Gabe York inserted into his place in the starting lineup.
Holllis-Jefferson coming on strong
Hollis-Jefferson has been a big piece of Arizona all season, but his role has only increased since Ashley's injury -- as well as his production.
Hollis-Jefferson scored seven points and grabbed five rebounds in just 18 minutes of floor time in the first meeting this season, a number that's sure to rise this time around. The 6-foot-7 freshman has made his mark defensively, and he can guard every position on the floor.
Hollis-Jefferson's offensive game has also come on strong of late -- he scored 13 points in the UA's tournament opener against Weber State and added a career-high 18 in its third-round win over Gonzaga.
For San Diego State
It's no secret that San Diego State makes its impact as a defensive team. That led the Aztecs to a 31-4 record with just one home loss -- the aforementioned game against Arizona.
Standouts Xavier Thames and Winston Shepard highlight a San Diego State team that's talented, though it can badly struggle offensively at times. But what has changed since earlier in the season? Here's a look:
Polee stepping up
Junior guard Dwayne Polee didn't see the floor in San Diego State's first meeting with Arizona this season.
Now he's the Aztecs' third-leading scorer.
Polee has emerged in a perimeter role, shooting 47 percent for San Diego State, and a team-best 38 percent from 3-point range. He scores 8.4 points per game in just under 18 minutes, and the 6-foot-7 swingman has become a key part of the San Diego State offense.
Quinn finds a roll
Junior guard Aqueel Quinn transferred to San Diego State after two season at Cal State Northridge, and it's finally paying dividends.
Like Polee, Quinn didn't see any action in the Actecs' loss to Arizona earlier this season. But he's turned into a solid contributor, scoring five points per game to go along with an assist in 16 minutes. Quinn is able to spell Thames for stretches, and while he's not the same player, the San Diego State offense can at least still pose a threat with Thames out of the game.
Quinn shoots 36 percent from the field and 35 percent from 3-point range in his action as one of the last players in the Aztecs' nine-man rotation.

We expect this decision has caught many of you by surprise for many reasons. But after detailed and careful scrutiny, we found Christie's environmental agenda to be the strongest of any gubernatorial candidate. For details, continue reading below, or visit our original endorsement announcement [1] or Christie's impressive green agenda on his website [2].
Governor Corzine was not our environmental candidate of choice because he has repeatedly broken promises and weakened key environmental and public health protections, including not protecting 300 miles of our most highly vulnerable and important waterways that could have been protected through Category 1 designation; supporting stop-gap measures for open space funding that puts us further in debt and repeatedly breaking commitments to secure a long-term stable source of open space funding; and allowing polluters oversight of their own cleanups.
Contrary to Corzine, Christie has committed to the following as you already know:
There are many other important pieces to his agenda that have gotten less attention. Chris Christie is:
Jon Corzine has rejected the right position on the vast majority of the New Jersey Environmental Federation's priority environmental issues, including the ones listed above. Chris Daggett has an admirable resume but his environmental agenda is much less specific and comprehensive. Daggett also lacks the support needed to change the status quo.
And the status quo needs to be changed! The governor's and Democratic-led Legislature's inability or unwillingness to ensure good, ethical government and strong leadership has led to a poor environmental record and public distrust. Neither the environment nor New Jersey as a whole can afford one party dominance -- we are best served with balance.
That's why it's time for a change, real change, positive change. And the best chance for that change for New Jersey and for the environment right now is Chris Christie.
Thank you,
David Pringle

Mommy, mommy! Casacaudill tagged me!
Thankfully, this does not mean that someone took spray paint and did me up like a wall. All I has (yes, has) to do is answer these five loverly questions about myself, and who doesn't like to do that?
To quote Becky quoting Laura, "for those new to 'Tagging' – it's a form of blog networking, which you answer 5 questions and pass the questions along to 5 other bloggers."
1. Where were you 10 years ago?Ten whole years ago? That would make it 1998. I was a freshman in high school, I was a size 6 (and blithefully unaware that my ass would ever get this big), and I was the biggest nerd I knew. There was a lot I still had to learn about the world, especially being an immigrant and almost completely unaware of pop culture (M…C… Hammer?). But, thinking back, I felt so fresh and full of potential. All four high schools I applied to had answered with a resounding YES, including High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. They half gave me a heart attack, when me, the perfect me, was pulled from class and called into the principal's office. Thankfully, it was only to convince me over the phone that HSPVA was the right choice for me, and they wanted talented bass players (upright, not guitar) like me… blah blah blah.
Sometimes I still think back and chuckle that I wanted to be Pierce Brosnan from The Thomas Crown Affair. The whole image of bright lights, big city completely appealed to me then. I couldn't image being anywhere else by New York… I mean is there another option for a business major? Mergers & acquisitions? Hell yeah! Making deals and breaking hearts? I fit right into that 80s stereotype of a New York yuppy, except that I was 13, almost 14, and in Texas.
Suffice to say, I'm much happier doing marketing and in the Bay Area. Less stress, more friendly.
2. Five items on your to-do list today
- Answer delinquent emails, since I've been offline for a week
- Blog about Houston and the various bathroom decor elements I've explored with mom [as well as further research for what still needs to be done]
- Add a video to le PR firm site
- Cook Chinese food- dude!!! I just found this supermarket by my house that's totally Chinese… like Mandarin Chinese (people from the north speak mandarin, while those in the south generally speak cantonese). I bought a whole week's work of groceries for $22, and that's only because I bought lychee and that was hella expensive. [For those of you who don't live in the Bay Area, the average cost of lunch in the Financial District in SF is about $10, so to spend $22 on 5 dinner meals is super amazing.]
- … I can't really say, but it's gone be off the hinges when it's done… and of course, ya'll will be the first to know. :)
3. Snacks I enjoy
- Flaming Hot Cheetos
- Soft baked cookies
- Really I don't snack so much… if these were snacks, then I'd enjoy: meat and potatoes, burritos mojados, green curry with chicken and chicken tikka masala w/ extra tikka
4. What would you do if you were a billionaire?
You can read a more in depth analysis here, where I also included what charities I would fund. BUT I'll take a more leisurely approach here and just detail how I'd spend the money:
- Buy homes/villas/flats/lofts in SF, New York, London, Paris, Prague, Rome, Shanghai, Bali, Mumbai, Buenos Aires, Vancouver and somewhere in the Carribean. Make them nonprofits that will house students and backpackers in a luxury resort for the price of a hostel. Obviously, I'd be able to stay there as well with the option to book the entire place for myself.
- Invest in real estate and commodities trading- as hobbies to make more money.
- Buy a few fast cars. I used to think about the Ferrari Enzo, which is too flashy, so I might stick with an Aston Martin Vanquish. It's been a while since I explored the world of 8-12 cylinders, so I still have to do some research.
- Visit Becky in Hawaii
- Actually, I'm not quite sure what I'd do with all that money. My brain says GO SHOPPING!! My heart will say invest some and give it away!
5. Places I would live
See question 4, bullet 1.
6. 5 Bloggers I'm passing the challenge onto

Oceania prides itself on having some of the best food on the sea and you will not be disappointed. The 2 specialty restaurants (that most cruises charge a fee to eat at) are complimentary on this ship.
Booze is on the pricier side and the excursions are also outrageous. On our ship, most people were doing their own touring because the excursions were so overpriced.
As advertised, this is an older set on the boa,t but definitely a better behaved one than on most lines.
This 14-day itinerary is strong, but has some weak points. Three days in St. Petersburg is probably one too many and Gdansk, Poland and Warnemunde, Germany are not real highlights unless you do expensive tours to other parts of the country. Copenhagen, Belgium and Finland are all great stops.
The cruiseline will not do a good job of advising you of this, but if you want to tour St. Petersburg on your own (without paying $150/pp for day excursions), you need to have your own Russian visa ahead of time.
All in all, a good cruise, but does not live up to the value.

Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, is no stranger to controversy. Take a look at some of the ways he has royally misbehaved.
In 2002, he faced accusations of underage drinking and cannabis use, CNN reported. The allegations were made in the UK tabloid News of the World newspaper, which also reported his father, Prince Charles, had taken Harry to a drug rehabilitation clinic to alert him to the dangers of drug abuse.
He did not faces charges because police found no evidence to support them.
In 2005, photos of Harry wearing a Nazi soldier's uniform to a fancy dress party were splashed across the front page of The Sun newspaper.
He later apologized. "I am very sorry if I caused any offense," Harry said.
Four years later, Harry issued another apology after videos surfaced showing him using offensive language to describe members of his military unit, CNN reported.
In one clip, a voice said to be Harry's calls a soldier a "Paki," a derogatory term for people of South Asian descent. In another clip, the voice tells a soldier wearing a cloth on his head that he looks "like a raghead," another offensive term for someone who wears a headdress.
In August 2012, photos surfaced online of Prince Harry cavorting naked during a game of strip billiards while in Las Vegas.
One photo shows Harry, naked, with his hands cupping his genitals. His face is turned toward the television set in the suite, and his body partially shields that of another naked person.
In another picture, he's seen hugging a woman from behind next to a pool table. Both are naked.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
An important date in our nation's history was celebrated in Toledo on Saturday.
This week marks the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, where Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his iconic 'I have a dream' speech.
On Saturday, the Toledo Lucas County Library held a program celebrating the event.
The march on Washington attracted a quarter million people to the mall in Washington D.C.
Saturday's event included singing, readings, a video presentation and speakers.
One of them was Theresa Gabriel, who attended the march as a member of NAACP.
She says it was a life-changing experience.
"Besides the speaker Martin Luther King, there was the phenomenal, awesome crowd," said Ms. Gabriel, "Multi-racial and the number of old and young folks. It was just unreal to us.'
Thousands of people also returned to Washington D.C. to mark the anniversary of the march on Saturday.

Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller is backing legislation that could put more police officers in schools.
The legislation, filed by Republican state Sen. Pete Miller of Avon, would set aside $10 million in state funding that could be leveraged by local school corporations to hire trained law enforcement officers to act as "school resource officers."
At a press conference Thursday, Zoeller and Miller said they began working on the bill before the Dec. 14 school shooting in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children and 6 school staff members dead.
That incident has escalated public concern about the safety of schools. "In light of the recent tragic events in Connecticut, we know school safety is a subject parents and the public are very concerned about," Zoeller said.
Neither Miller nor Zoeller said the presence of a police officer in a school would prevent a similar tragedy from occurring in Indiana, though they suggested it could be a deterrent.
"It's particularly important that these positions be expanded in light of the tragedy in Connecticut," Zoeller said, adding that an argument could be made that not having a police presence in school makes that school a "softer" target for a gun attack.
Zoeller cited a needs assessment survey, conducted by his office last fall, that found that parents, teachers, school administrators and police supported the idea of putting more police officers in local schools, but worried about how to fund the extra expense.
Miller's bill would set aside $10 million for the Indiana Safe School Fund and allow public schools to apply for matching grants to hire officers to work in schools. The amount of state dollars from the fund would be capped at $50,000 for each school corporation.
Miller acknowledged that the bill doesn't provide enough money to put a police officer in every school in Indiana. But he described his bill as an initial step toward making schools safer.
"This proposal would be a good first step to meet an immediate need and expand resource officers into schools that don't already have them, and still give the legislature and executive branch the opportunity to look at other more long-term comprehensive safety options," Miller said.
Zoeller estimated that one-quarter to one-third of Indiana's 1,000-plus schools currently have a police officer working as a "school resource officer."
More than providing immediate security, those officers are also involved in devising school safety plans, enforcing school rules, and working with students and school staff to identify other problems, from bullying to illegal drug use.
Miller's bill has already earned support from the incoming state Superintendent for Public Instruction, Glenda Ritz. The Democrat Ritz said in a statement that she believed the bill would help ensure safer schools.
It also has some support from the Indiana Association of Police Chiefs, an organization that is currently involved in setting training standards for police officers who work in the schools.
Mike Ward, the association's executive director, said his members haven't seen the final language of Miller's bill, so are holding off endorsing it. But he said the concept of having the state help local schools and local police departments financially, so they can provide for safer schools, is a good one.
"Having a police officer (in school) can be a significant deterrent to violence and mayhem," Ward said.
Few schools or local police departments have the extra resources to do that on their own, he said.
"If this bill helps offset the cost, that's a good thing," Ward said.

It wasn't the ninth. Although one does get bonus points for doing the impossible and (i) hitting a home run (ii) in the playoffs (iii) on the road (iv) off of a proven closer (v) to put the Yankees ahead in the ninth inning. Had there been a runner in scoring position, I would have no choice but to write about the ninth inning.
But I'm going to write about the fifth inning. The bottom of the fifth inning, with Russell Martin behind the plate.
Chris Davis had started the inning with a single to left field, bringing Lew Ford to the plate. Ford check-swing bunted into no man's land on the first side of the mound. Ranging almost halfway down the line, Martin turned in this defensive gem, retiring Ford and greatly reducing the threat of a big inning.
Keeping with today's theme, the difference in run expectancy between first and second with no outs (1.556 runs) and second with one out (0.721 runs) makes that play alone a huge change of events. After another base hit put runners at first and third with one out, Martin went back to work keeping runs off the board.
Up next was Nate McClouth, who struck out thus:
Pitch four and pitch six were both called strikes on fastballs at the very edge of the zone. Pitch six was on the border; pitch four was a ball. Russell Martin received both pitches with a rock steady glove and got the strike calls for his pitcher.
This might be a stretch, as I've now traveled into the gray of pitch framing. Using TBS's blue box as a rough guide, I'd call last night's strike zone pitcher friendly, so that might have something to do with it. It's also an imperfect human umpire making subjective calls. But the evidence of catchers affecting strike calls is compelling. Martin has rated well as a pitch framer and these stood out to me at the time.
With first and third and one out, the Yankees needed to take advantage of the lefty-lefty matchup and get Nate McClouth out, preferably with a strikeout. They got it with some fastballs on the black called for and received by Russell Martin. Make of that what you will.
To complete the triple play of catching defense, here are some pitches thrown by CC Sabathia with a runner on third base.
Either pitch getting past Martin would have resulted in the Orioles scoring the go ahead run. Neither pitch got past Martin.

CATEGORIES Movies, News/Reactions, HorrorIf I told you the next Dark Castle horror-thriller flick would star January Jones and Diane Kruger, you'd probably be interested. If I told you that the most recent Dark Castle horror flicks were Whiteout, Orphan, and Return to House on Haunted Hill ... you'd probably be a little less interested. But with the presence of two stunning blondes (and a half-decent concept), Dark Castle's Unknown White Male is starting to sound a little intriguing.
According to Variety, Ms. Jones and Ms. Kruger will join the very busy (and very lucky) Liam Neeson in Unknown White Male, which "centers on a man who awakens from a coma to find that someone else has assumed his identity, and no one, including his wife, believes him." The director is Jaume Collet-Serra, whom the horror freaks may remember from (Dark Castle) flicks like Orphan and House of Wax. The stunning Diane Kruger is best-known for her work in Troy, Inglourious Basterds, and both National Treasure movies, while January Jones (even the name is sexy!) has been seen in We Are Marshall, American Wedding, and the upcoming Pirate Radio. She's also a big hit on that Mad Men series.
Variety doesn't make mention one way or another, but I do believe this film is a feature (loosely) based on this documentary of the same name. And that's a damn good documentary.

Tips in photographyTips for amateurs to taking better photographs with any type of camera.
Everyone enjoys having photographs of family, friends, vacations, and interesting sites to capture memories and perhaps express a little creativity. Often times, a simple adjustment or two can greatly improve the shot, bringing even more pleasure to the finished photograph.
Whether the photographer is using an expensive 35 MM SLR type of camera, or a simple, inexpensive 110 disposable pocket camera, attention to a few details can make all the difference in improving your pictures.
The main areas where anyone can improve are content, lighting, and angle:

After a combined 2/17 beginning from both teams in this late-starting game, both sides saw stretches of heating up and then cooling back down as the lead improbably changed hands. But in the end, the Bulls just didn't have enough firepower to sustain a lead as the Clippers led for the whole 4th quarter to finish with a 94-89 victory.
The Bulls shot only 40% for the game, but they were able to stay in by doing something they've been league-worst in all season: make three pointers. They were 10-20 on the night, with a couple coming from all-over: Hinrich, Deng, Nate, with Belinelli leading the team with 4 makes.
But it masked some overall poor nights from a lot of players. Belinelli did only shoot 6-22 overall. Deng had one of his least productive games of the season, with 8 points in 40 (LOL) minutes. Joakim Noah didn't fare much better, who was stuck on only 1 field goal until late in the 4th quarter when he was able to get some tip-ins and layups but finished with 10 in his 42 (LOL) minutes of action.
And there was a point in the second half where the Bulls missed 7 threes in a row, though honestly it felt like a sound plan given the alternatives. The Bulls struggled to get any free-throw attempts, to the point where Hubie Brown (who, mind you, saw Fred Flintstone play for the Slate Quarry company team) remarked at halftime he had never seen a starting unit not attempt a free-throw after they showed that the Bulls had just done (or, didn't do) that.
They did wind up 9-12 from the stripe by the time the game was over, but it highlighted a problem with a team lacking playmakers. Though the Bulls have been surprisingly good at drawing attempts all season, on Tuesday night their perimeter players couldn't break down the defense, and Noah had an uncharacteristically slight effect on getting them from his offensive rebounds.
And when the Bulls instead tried to pass their way to the goal, what worked against some of the poorer teams did not operate as smoothly against the veteran Clippers. I'm crediting the players since we know Vinny doesn't really teach defense, as they had tremendous instincts when filling passing lanes or blitzing ballhandlers. The Bulls were forced into 16 turnovers (ok, maybe some were unforced) which opened the doors to lob city. Two points is two points, I guess, but some of those follows from Griffin and Deandre Jordan had to be demoralizing. I know they were from a fan's perspective. The Clippers were also able to get some of those lobs by exploiting the aggressive Thibs pick-and-roll defense, 'easily' (for them) going to the weak side where some giant would already be waiting with his head over the rim.
So beyond the threes, how did the Bulls stay in this one? They showed signs of their trademark defense (outside of Belinelli, who really couldn't stay with Jamal Crawford) and rebounding edge, but it was actually Carlos Boozer who was the Bulls best player. I'm as surprised as you are, but he did also have a nice game against this team in L.A., and maybe just enjoys Blake Griffin's version of defense that much. Booz finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds, and was actually aggressively getting post position, attacking the basket, diving on the floor...it was quite the good game from him.
Not nearly enough from the team overall, though. Plus I think some of the Clippers indifference and/or undisciplined play kept them from really getting the huge lead that the game probably should've seen. They blew a couple of breakaways and Griffin had a few lazy shot selections. Vinny allowed way too much involvement from the likes of Lamar Odom, Willie Green, and Ronny Turiaf, though maybe Pax choked the overplaying-starters gene out of him. And there's always the coach-on-the-floor for them in the 4th quarter, as Chris Paul did have to deal with a lot of Kirk Hinrich in his face tonight but finished with 18 points including a great penetration-and-stop move to truly seal the game.

I'm with problems with AutoCAD 2013. I have a student license. When I open some dwg archives and select some lines appear something very strange, not usual in other versions. See below:
Is it normal in AutoCAD 2013? Does anyone have a idea how I can deactivate it?
I'm with another problem too. I select a entire plant and move it. The dimension line is stretched between the old position and the new in the drawing. Does anyone heve this problem? How can I eliminate that?
Any suggestion will be useful.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Those icons are indicating that there are constraints applied to all of the objects associated with them. You can run the DELCONSTRAINT command and eliminate them if you have no further use for them. In the future, if you won't be using constraints at all, set the CCONSTRAINTFORM system variable to "1".
Also, the dimensions which are associative, are updating based on the new positions of those objects. I think you will find this very useful, in general, once you get used to it. If you don't want this behavior, you should look into the different settings for DIMASSOC.
_constraintinfer = 0
This is all you need do.
Thanks! This command DELCONSTRAINT solve my problem... So simply!
mmelechinsky is right about the CONSTRAINTINFER system variable. That is what you should do to make sure you suppress this function in future drawings if that is your method and you have no use for constraints. As this person indicated, set it to "0" to avoid applying constraints.

Good average brown appearance with beige head, clumpy. Aroma was toffee and caramel. Awesome pic of the old lighthouse from Milwaukee's East Side, I've had some good times at that place.
Taste, smooth, low IBU and hopping. Great malt character, even a little coffee creeps into the toffee and caramel dominance.
Small degrees of milky cream downward. Not a heavy beer, thin, in a good way. Light smoke peat feel as well. Light carbonation to allow you to pick up on some of these nuances. A cool beer for a cool Milwaukee evening. Or day.

Clear mahogany color with amber highlights. Sturdy head, pale yellow and settles at under 1/2 an inch in height. Dripping ring lace. Touch of burnt rasin bread crust to the aroma, muted but good. Very roasty flavor, cozy like morning toast with some elements of faint semi-sweet chocolate. Mouthfeel is light but works well with a good texture and the flavors. Finishes with a good and subtle transition to bare hay-like hopping, nothing jarring to the overall impression. This was a winner for me, very nice drinking and good for the style and expectations.

Deep cola brown appearance much darker than the current Penn Dark being brewed at the Lion. Head is light beige, lacing is even but scant. Aroma has a tartness working it's magic amongst the darker malts, cocoa powder and coffee roasts in the forefront with mineral water yeast nuttiness that appears in most of the beers I've had from them. Herbal tea leaf notes in the finish with an air of smokiness, complex light beer...I like it. Flavor has a fruit sweetness under the light coffee and roasted milk chocolate layers, along with more of a slightly lactic mineral quality that just works in a dunkel. Hell this is better than Hofbrauhaus Pittsurgh's dunkel. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied really a dry roasty finish going with tartness lingering on the sides of my palate. Drinkability overall is pretty effin' good, one of those effortless beers that I would probably imbibe on while visiting the brewery.

Bottle from Hop City in Atlanta.
Pours a dark brown color with a huge tan head. The head has to settle a few times before I can finish pouring the beer. After all that time the head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving light lacing.
Smells of dark malts with unsweetened cocoa powder and good amounts of indistinct fruit aromas that intensify as the beer warms.
Tastes very similar to how it smells. Mildly bitter dark malt flavors kick things off and are joined shortly by unsweetened cocoa. Before a mildly bitter ending fruit flavors enter into things and linger on the palate. As with the smell, the fruit flavors intensify as the beer warms.
Mouthfeel is good. It has a nice thickness with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is alright. I finished my glass however I'm not sure about another.
Overall this certainly wasn't a bad beer but it's not one I'll look for again.

( Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer has a hazel brown crystal clear body with a gentle carbonation of tiny bubbles. The head is a nice creamy off-white that fades to a thin film.
S- This beer has a smooth soft brown malt smell with a slight sulfur finish.
T- This beer has a nice smooth nutty brown malt flavor with some pale malt notes. The finish is a soft hop spicy bitterness with a dry faintly sulfur finish.
M- This beer has a medium-light finish with a faint fizz in the finish. No astringency or alcohol warmth.
D-This is a nice dark lager. It has good complexity yet subtle and the grain really comes through. The smooth lagering really makes this drinkable. It would be nice to see a bit more hops but this is a good solid beer.

Notes are from last night...
This beer comes out looking a very thick dark brown. A soft light brown head forms at about one finger and takes a while to dissipate. Initially, it looks like it will leave some decent lacing, but what little is spotted at the beginning dries to almost, but not quite, nothing.
Ther aroma's not strong, but it is good. Toasty malts with a bit of a caramel/toffee sweetness and bit of barley make up the body of it, with a touch of dark fruits and perhaps just a hint of raw chocolate.
The taste follows suit, with a bit more of the toasted smokiness coming through. Like the aroma, it's good but somewhat too light and a bit underwhelming.
The body is on the full side of medium. Carbonation is light, which is good for this one. It doesn't have enough smoothness or complexity in the mouthfeel to take much note of.
This is easily drinkable and worth having. I suppose it would make a perfectly reasonable session beer.

Another one I tried in the flight at lakefront. My girlfriend HATED that I did that. She is a sweet person, but she can be dark, like this beer. Perhaps she is smoother than this beer, or maybe she goes down easier. She certainly has less back end.

3.95/5 rDev +8.2%
355ml bottle, another single from a mix-pack available here in Alberta. Nice tea candles flutter around me as my wife sets up her side of our winter evening activity (beer reviewing and yoga, you pervs!)
This beer pours a clear, very dark chestnut brown hue, with pervasive cola highlights, and two fingers of puffy, foamy pale beige head, which leaves a low berm of shoreline lace around the glass as it surely fades away.
It smells of lightly roasted, nutty caramel malt, mild brown sugar, some reserved savoury spice, and earthy, leafy hops. The taste is softly nutty, hollow bready malt, a decent stone fruitiness, some subtle vanilla pod earthiness, and leafy, kind of musty floral hops.
The bubbles are quite prevalent, but pleasantly loosy-goosy, so all is well on that front, the body a sturdy medium weight, and a tad creamy, lending itself well to an overall unassailable smoothness. It finishes off-dry, the nutty caramel malt still holding court, as the leafy, earthy hops play nice in their continuing demure nature.
A tasty dark German-style lager, and where better stateside than Wisconsin to deliver that to us? I won't bore everyone with the obvious Canadian alternatives, so let's just say that I wouldn't mind a few more rounds of this if I were planted at some spartan pub table, eating salty, fatty snacks (back to you, America!), and thinking of breaking into songs in support of country or college football team.

Served cold in a pint glass. This beer pours a dark cola brown with good clarity through the edges. Almost no head formation and basically no retention.
Aroma is difficult to detect but a subtle roasty dark malt character comes through.
Flavor is sweet and malty with a roasted grain punch. Tastes a bit oxidized with some of that funky wet cardboard flavor. Not pleasant.
Mouthfeel is medium-light bodied with stronger than expected carbonation given the lack of head. Drinkability is limited just because it simply isn't very good.

It was bottled the third week of November '08, sat on the shelf for sometime as I opened the dust ridden bottle
A: a thin foamy head arose after a rigorous pour and kept me company for most the drink, the lacing left a good impression. The body is a combination of burnt browns and lighter shades of red. Incredible amount of fizzy bubbles swirling about
S: as I pulled the glass up to my nose the smell of stale cocoa and coffee was most prominent. This is paired with roasted barley and an oddly sweet metallic-like fume. Seems to be more on the sweet side, rather than bitter. It needs a bit more power
T: has some Dunkel dimensions but is overshadowed by a slight dry astringency. Most notable are the roasted coffee and grains that regulate in a somewhat boring way. The cocoa notes even blend in some sugary lactose notes. It is starting to seem hearty enough and the sweetness matches the dryness that I noted earlier. Some slight spiciness can be detected throughout, in very small doses, as well as a delicate yeast character
M: carbonation seems rather strong to me. While this beer is not really creamy, rather it is somewhat glass-like in it's feel. The body is a bit on the heavy side for some other Dunkel's, if my memory proves right? I don't mind that either, gives a little bottom end
D: not a bad showing from Lakefront. I am not sure what I have had in the past from this Midwest Brewery but this brew ranks in the upper tier. I would have this again

iVillage.com: 10 Surprising Ways to Get a Better Night's Sleep

| Seventy-five percent of people sleep more soundly when they curl up in fresh-smelling, just-laundered sheets, according to a National Sleep Foundation study. And you can get the same effect (with a lot less effort and expense) just by changing your pillowcase as often as you can, then spritzing your sheets with a little lavender. To do: Mix 25 drops of lavender essential oil with two cups of water in a spray bottle, then give your sheets two quick pumps before you climb in for the night. The feel of a fresh new pillowcase combined with the faint aroma of lavender boosts the production of sleep-inducing alpha brain waves, making people feel relaxed and groggy within minutes, says neurologist Alan Hirsch, M.D., director of Chicago's Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation. If you don't have the ingredients to make your own lavender spritz, look for products similar to this Lavender Aromatherapy Mist.

| First, make a habit of writing down your day's goals each morning -- then cross them off as you accomplish them. Being aware of how much you actually get done each day eases nighttime anxiety, and that helps at least one in five women sleep more soundly, say Yale researchers. Next, keep a notepad and pen beside your bed so on nights when you're bug-eyed, spend 10 minutes quickly scribbling down all of your worries and troubles. It sounds like a real sleep-stealer, yet this brief bout of bedtime venting helps women fall asleep 30 percent faster, say UCLA researchers. Turns out getting what's troubling you down on paper kick-starts production of dopamine, a calming hormone that dials down feelings of stress, edginess and restlessness.

| If it's sunny and you're heading out to do errands after 4 p.m., wearing your sunglasses could increase your bedtime sleepiness by 20 percent or more, according to research at the University of Texas-Houston School of Public Health. Reducing your light exposure as the day wanes prods your brain to fire up its production of melatonin, the hormone that's essential for deep, restorative sleep, the study authors say. Equally important: Keep your shades off if you're heading outside early in the a.m. "A brief morning blast of sunlight resets your brain's biological clock, making you feel more energetic during the day, and more sleepy at night," says Michael Smolensky, Ph.D., author of "The Body Clock Guide to Better Health."

| Taking 400 to 500 milligrams of calcium (and the same amount of magnesium) half an hour before lights-out helps 76 percent of women fall asleep more easily and wake up more refreshed, say Stanford University researchers. "These essential minerals lower your heart rate and blood pressure, relax tight muscles, soothe jangled nerves and increase the amount of time you spend in the most restorative, slow-wave stage of sleep," explains James F. Balch, M.D., co-author of Prescription for Natural Cures.
Bonus: This mineral duo also curbs the nighttime leg cramps that may wake you up from time to time.

| Up to 50 percent of women are jarred awake at night by partially-full bladders, making them stumble to the bathroom two, three (or more) times every night. To the rescue: Try spacing out your daytime bathroom breaks, by waiting at least 20 minutes after you feel those first twinges. Your bladder will fill up a little more -- but not too much -- so the nerves surrounding your bladder get desensitized and are less likely to trigger sleep-sabotaging muscle spasms at night, says Richard S. Bercik, M.D., a urogynecologist at Yale University. "All-told, just training your bladder to stay relaxed as it fills could cut your nightly awakenings in half within two months."

| Sipping 12 ounces of passionflower tea each evening can double your ability to drift off without a struggle, say European researchers. "This herb is a natural muscle relaxant and sedative, plus it increases your brain's production of serotonin -- a hormone that calms a racing mind and relieves insomnia-triggering anxiety," says Hyla Cass, M.D., author of "8 Weeks to Vibrant Health." Look for passionflower tea bags in health food stores under brand names like Alvita, Tadin and Celebration Herbals, and sweeten to taste with sugar or honey.

| People with heartburn were 50 percent more likely to wake up repeatedly during the night, according to a British study. Since their nighttime reflux was so mild that it wasn't causing a strong burning sensation, they had no idea stomach acid was the culprit for insomnia. According to UCLA research, you can cut your risk of sleep-sabotaging heartburn by at least 32 percent if you spend a half hour enjoying your dinner, instead of polishing it off in less than 10 minutes. "Slow, leisurely eating really is better for your digestion, and it's better for your sleep, too!" says Patricia Raymond, M.D., a gastroenterologist at Eastern Virginia Medical School.

| There's no question a drink before bed can help you drift off a little faster -- study after study shows that alcohol is a powerful nervous system relaxant. But there's a catch, and it's a biggie: The body breaks down alcohol into waste products that are caffeine-like stimulants, which can trigger a surge in your heart rate and brain wave activity. "That means a nightcap may put you to sleep, but two hours later you'll be jolted awake and you'll have no idea why," says Joyce Walsleben, Ph.D., research associate professor at the New York University School of Medicine. Fortunately, you don't need to give up alcohol entirely, just sip your evening drink several hours before lights-out and pair it with a little orange juice. Tufts researchers say OJ's fructose will get rid of those caffeine-like stimulants 20 percent faster.

| It's hard to believe that something so simple could have a big impact on sleep, yet turning the alarm clock away from the bed helped one in three women stay asleep through the night within 48 hours! "It's completely normal to wake up slightly, but then quickly drift off several times every night. It's part of a healthy sleep cycle and something that you don't normally even realize is happening," says J. Brevard Haynes, M.D., a pulmonologist at the Center for Sleep in Nashville, Tenn. "But reading the time on a clock sends a jarring wake-up call to your brain, leaving you wide awake and wondering how you'll get back to sleep."

| Computers, TVs, fluorescent lights and even iPads give off a bluish wavelength of light that energizes your brain, squashing its production of sleep-inducing melatonin, according to UCLA researchers. "Turn off these troublemakers 30 minutes before bedtime and you could cut your risk of restless sleep in half within one week," says Walsleben. And if you often get up at night to adjust the temperature, use the bathroom or check on kids, use a nightlight with a red Christmas tree bulb. According to New York University researchers, red is the color of light least likely to dampen melatonin production and sabotage your nightly slumber.
