Understanding Sleep
In today's fast-paced world, a good night's sleep has become somewhat of an indulgence, falling down our list of priorities behind work, chores, social time, and entertainment. But sleep should not be a luxury—it is a vital part of life, as important to your physical and mental health as food and water.
Understanding the need for sleep is a relatively new research field, and scientists continue to study what happens to the body during sleep and why the process of sleep is so essential. We do know that sleep is necessary to maintain critical body functions, restore energy, repair muscle tissue, and allow the brain to process new information.
We also know what happens when the body doesn't get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation can cause a range of mental and physical problems, including impaired ability to think clearly, focus, react, and control your emotions. This can result in serious problems in the workplace and at home. Furthermore, chronic sleep deprivation has been shown to increase the risk for serious health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression. It can also affect your immune system, reducing your body's ability to fight off infection and disease.
Think of a sleep-deprived body as a car with a flat tire; the car is running, but it's moving slowly with fewer capabilities and less power. And the longer you drive in that condition, the more you'll damage the car.
Our Problems Sleeping
Despite sleep's importance, the average American adult sleeps fewer than seven hours per night, and approximately 70 million Americans experience chronic sleep deprivation, sometimes resulting from sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and restless legs syndrome (RLS). In contrast, an adult in 1910 slept an average of nine hours per night.
Our sleep habits change as we age. Most experts agree that an average adult needs approximately eight hours of sleep per night, while children and adolescents need nine or more hours per night.
But sleep assessment is not just about quantity; sleep quality is equally important. There are two main types of sleep: rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM sleep. Non-REM sleep is divided into four stages that range from light sleep to deep sleep. All stages of sleep are important, but deep sleep and REM sleep are the most critical. It is during these stages that the important restorative functions of sleep take place.
Many people with sleep disorders may sleep an adequate amount of time but do not reach a deep enough stage of sleep to feel well rested and refreshed in the morning. Waking up frequently in the night can also prevent you from reaching the critical stages of sleep.
To some, sleep comes as naturally as blinking or walking. For others, getting enough quality sleep is a major challenge that requires lifestyle changes or medical intervention. There are numerous reasons for sleep problems, ranging from short-term stressors to serious, long-term sleep disorders. If you have chronic sleep problems, talk to your doctor about finding a solution or possible treatment options.

Feldman going for a bit of road history
Texas (78-60) at Cleveland (60-78), 11:05 a.m. CT
CLEVELAND -- Scott Feldman goes for a bit of history when he pitches for the Rangers against the Indians on Wednesday afternoon.Feldman is going for his 12th road victory of 2009, which would be the most by a Texas pitcher in one season. He is currently tied with Vicente Padilla and Rick Helling. "Cool," Feldman said, although he is really not getting caught up in the historical aspect of the whole thing. "I don't think it's very historic," Feldman said. "We're in a good position and we've got to come out and hopefully keep playing good baseball. I don't think winning a certain amount of games on the road is important. Winning games in general is the name of the game." Feldman is 11-1 with a 2.80 ERA in 14 games, including 13 starts, on the road this season. He is tied with Yankees left-hander C.C. Sabathia for most road wins in the Major Leagues. Feldman has won seven straight starts on the road since receiving a no-decision in the Rangers' 9-8 victory over the Diamondbacks on June 25. His only loss on the road came on June 19 when he was beaten, 6-4, by the Giants in San Francisco. At home, Feldman is 4-3 with a 4.56 ERA in 14 games, including 12 starts. Pitching matchup
TEX: RHP Scott Feldman (15-4, 3.62 ERA)
Feldman beat the Indians, 4-1, on Aug. 13 at Progressive Field, allowing one run on seven hits, a walk and six strikeouts. He is 7-2 with a 3.28 ERA since the All-Star break. Only three Major League pitchers have won more games than Feldman since the break. Feldman is trying to become the first Rangers pitcher to win 16 games since Kevin Millwood in 2006. Only two right-handers have done that for the Rangers in the past 10 seasons. The other was Rick Helling in 2000. CLE: RHP Fausto Carmona (3-9, 6.08 ERA)
Carmona, a 19-game winner in 2007, is 1-3 with a 4.05 ERA in seven starts since being recalled from the Minors on July 31. He was 2-6 with a 7.42 ERA in 12 starts when he was sent down in June. Carmona is 1-5 with a 4.36 ERA at home as opposed to 2-4 with an 8.04 ERA in nine starts on the road. He is 2-5 with a 4.99 ERA in his career against the Rangers. That's tied with the Yankees for his most losses against any team in his career. Tidbits
Manager Ron Washington said he plans on using Ivan Rodriguez behind the plate for Thursday's game against the Indians. ... The Rangers' Minor League season came to an end on Monday, with only one team making the playoffs. The Class A Bakersfield Blaze, who went 75-65 in the regular season under first-year manager Steve Buechele, are in the California League playoffs. ... The only other Texas Minor League team to have a winning record was Double-A Frisco. The Roughriders were 72-68. Triple-A Oklahoma was 69-75. Tickets

|2012/2013 NBA Regular Season Game #25, Home Game #14
|Saturday, December 22, 2012
|Philips Arena, Atlanta, Georgia
|7:00 p.m. ET
|SportSouth HD, 680 AM/93.7 FM
|Probable Starters
|Kirk Hinrich
|Jeff Teague
|Marco Bellinelli
|DeShawn Stevenson
|Luol Deng

|Al Horford
Hawks Injury Report: Anthony Morrow (back) has missed the last two games and is a game time decision. DeShawn Stevenson, who normally sits one game in a back-to-back will still most likely play despite playing yesterday against the Wizards. Ivan Johnson received a cut on his right hand that required four stitches yesterday, but it shouldn't affect his status for the game as he is expected to play. Devin Harris left the game early yesterday with a sore foot and is questionable coming into this game.
Bulls Injury Report: Richard Hamilton (left foot) and Taj Gibson (left ankle) are day-to-day. Derrick Rose (left knee) are out.
Hawks Player(s) to watch: The entire team has been on a slump and Al Horford isn't an exemption here. In the past 3 games, Horford has only totaled for 25 points on 9 for 35 shooting (26%). If Horford can break through his slump, it will go a long way to getting the entire team out of this hole that they're in.
Bulls Player(s) to watch: Luol Deng is coming off a season high 29 points and a season 13 rebound performance against the New York Knicks yesterday. In 25 career games against the Hawks, Deng is averaging 17.3 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 2.4 apg, while shooting 50% from the field.

Hi there Matt,
Follow-up on last night's email I sent you (attached with my note today). Today, I thought I would look at books to see what was said about my identified issues. I started with yours. I carefully reviewed what you said about the 3 ways to put the body in position and focused on the third, of course.
I also reviewed what you said about pendulum stroke and dropping the elbow. I went to the pool room and tried your methods: they worked fabulously!!!! My shooting was very accurate. I played some guys some games and played extremely well. After they left, I practiced some more and it seems really good.
It doesn't come naturally--I'm very used to the second stance (the intermediate's stance before the expert's third stance) and keep wanting to put my body over the stick rather than squat in the way you've suggested. I also found that about a jacked up shot and then tried it with your concepts in mind and my body was out of the way and the shot went in!
I am using my standard bridge and classic grip position, but trying to do a "flattened" pendulum motion as you suggest. I even tried a few shots with primarily UPPER arm motion and still made the shot--this must mean that my shoulder is in line and I felt comfortable in the stance. I have to do some more to learn how to properly position myself and step into the position smoothly. Hopefully, this will continue! Thanks for the good instruction in the book and on About.com and your continued support. Regards.
Here're the photos with my new bent left arm position. I started with more of a bend, but for some reason (perhaps my glasses), I can't see the shots very well when down that low. I either have to stand higher or I have to pull back some, which stretched out the left arm some. These are photos with my being pulled back some and thus a straighter left arm.
If we are scientists doing true experiments, we'd try to change as few variables as possible, hopefully one at any one time, to narrow our focus and increase our understanding.
You wrote earlier: "...I usually grip about the same place and plan to just move my bridge closer to the ball. Usually, I'll not quite know where to place my feet and I'll put them close to normal and when I go down, I'll see where the bridge ends up. It won't be as close as desired, so I might do a combination of bringing my feet forward some (while still down on the shot) and scoot my bridge forward, possibly stretching for it some."
That is what I'm referring to as the WRONG way to shorten your bridge. I want to help you the right way and then at least half the other problems you're having will melt away--forever. But you're going to need to try what I've suggested instead of trying to fix the wrong thing.
For example, if your bridge is too long, your head is too far away to sight the balls well, so alignment and everything else will be off. So moving the cue or aiming to the left or right is no good and just compounds the issues.
And as far as stroke mechanics, of course there are misses with that long bridge you're using. You might as well play tennis by holding the head of the racket at its strings and hitting the balls with the handle end instead.
A lot of people play pool wrong, few play it right. I recognize that I've stated elsewhere the pros take a lot of strokes using an 11-inch or even a 14-inch or so bridge between their finger loop or open bridge and the cue ball. And they add excellent technique to that also.
But for most players, a 7-inch bridge or less is what's needed. I'd play most anyone golf for money if I was using regulation clubs and theirs were twice as long! So I know I'm in good stead when I see players with those lengthy bridges--they usually are rank amateurs or perhaps decent intermediates.
Again, I can use longer bridges but why use a nuclear weapon when a hammer and nail make the size hole that is needed? Plus, having the camera near the table, lower even than a player's eyes, makes the bridges on TV seem still longer…
Here's a look also at the 45-degree classic stance we spoke about.

Outsourcing in a Global Economy
AbstractWe study the determinants of the location of subcontracted activity in a general equilibrium model of outsourcing and trade. We model outsourcing as an activity that requires search for a partner and relationship-specific investments that are governed by incomplete contracts. The extent of international outsourcing depends inter alia on the thickness of the domestic and foreign market for input suppliers, the relative cost of searching in each market, the relative cost of customizing inputs and the nature of the contracting environment in each country.

Jimenez not dwelling on big start
Rockies pitcher hopes move will keep his mind off Game 3
PHILADELPHIA -- Ubaldo Jimenez is in for a stressful Saturday night at work. Yet, his two-month lease is up, he has no new place lined up, and he's going to have to move on Friday. Many folks have been in his position.
But the difference is Jimenez actually welcomes having to pack his bags and move to a hotel.
Jimenez, 23, will be the Rockies starting pitcher in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Phillies on Saturday night, before what promises to be an ear-splitting crowd at Coors Field. A Rockies victory would give them a sweep of the best-of-5 series, and put them in the NL Championship Series for the first time in their 15-year history.
The Rockies will work out on Friday afternoon at Coors Field, which will not be open to fans -- they'll pack the place when the time comes.
But Jimenez, a right-hander who went 4-4 with a 4.28 ERA for the Rockies after being called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs, will spend the morning doing chores with his roommate, who happens to be his father, Ubaldo Sr.
"I'm not going to think a lot about it," Jimenez said of his start. "I have a lot of bags to pack. And I don't have furniture, since my apartment was furnished.
"Tomorrow, I want to do the most things possible."
With Denver having turned deep purple with Rockies fever, you'd expect Jimenez's landlord would cut him a break and not enforce the lease.
"That's OK," Jimenez said. "I want to move, do anything to take my mind away."

Summer 2014
Spring 2014
Winter 2013
Fall 2013
To support the University of South Alabama, balancing current contributions with future growth.
Since 1990, the Foundation has contributed more than $138 Million in support of the
University of South Alabama, its students, faculty and academic programs.
$4,515,679 was contributed by the Foundation to the University of South Alabama for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014.
Continuing the Foundations mission to support the University, the Foundation purchased Brookley
in response to the Universitys defined most critical and important need, to secure funding for the
expansion of USA Childrens and Womens Hospital dedicated in September, 2013. The purchase of
Brookley in November, 2010, allowed the expansion to move forward. To date, the Foundation has paid $16 Million to the University, with the final installment to be paid in November, 2014.
In 2011, the Foundation Board approved a gift of $500,000, to the Excellence Endowments of the College of Engineering and the School of Computing, which will enable funding of activities in those two academic units.
The net assets of the USA Foundation were $319,576,000, at March 31, 2014, compared to $298,536,000, at fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
Philosophy of Endowment Foundations
Successfully managed endowments retain forever the ability to provide a particular level
of institutional support, justifying the classification of endowment funds as permanent
assets. Pursuit of long-term asset preservation requires seeking high returns, accepting the
accompanying fundamental risk and associated market volatility. - David Swensen, Chief
Investment Officer, Yale University, in Pioneering Portfolio Management.
An endowment foundation balances these two divergent requirements of endowment
accumulation while providing an incremental source of funds to allow the University to be one
of excellence, acting in a prudent manner to meet both objectives.

A gastrointestinal fistula is an abnormal opening that allows the contents of the stomach or intestines to leak.
Entero-enteral fistula; Enterocutaneous fistula; Fistula - gastrointestinal
Most gastrointestinal fistulas occur after surgery. Other causes include:
Depending on the part of the intestines that are leaking, gastrointestinal fistulas may cause diarrhea
, malabsorption of nutrients, and dehydration
Some fistulas close on their own after a few weeks to months. Depending on the situation, some people may need to receive nutrition through a vein while the fistula heals.
In some cases where the fistula is not healing, surgery is necessary to remove the fistula and part of the intestines.
How well a patient does depends on their overall health and the cause and severity of the fistula. In otherwise healthy people, the outlook is excellent.
Fistulas may result in malnutrition and dehydration, depending on their location in the intestine. They may also be a source of skin problems and infection.
Call your health care provider if you have a significant change in bowel habits, especially severe diarrhea. Also call if you have any leakage of fluid from an opening on the abdomen or near the anus, especially if you have recently had abdominal surgery.

Between June and October of 2011, the Office of Public Advocate Bill de Blasio has experienced a sharp increase in constituent complaints from landlords and tenants regarding the New York City Housing Authority's (NYCHA) Section 8 program. The housing voucher program administered by NYCHA is a lifeline for nearly 100,000 households, helping them secure safe and decent housing they might otherwise be unable to afford. But because of bureaucratic red tape and technical errors, NYCHA is failing to provide on-time rent at the appropriate level, leaving tenants at risk of eviction.

By Christopher Smith and Bill Burt
---- — BOSTON — Former Chicago White Sox first baseman Frank Thomas is in Boston working for the MLB Network and he made it known that there is a friend of his about 30 miles away who he will never forget.
His former hitting coach Walter Hriniak, who resides in North Andover.
"Walt is the best hitting coach I ever had. It's not even close," said Thomas, who played 16 seasons with the White Sox and has a resume that may earn him a spot in the Hall of Fame. "He always had answers. Other coaches, some of them pretty good, had suggestions. He had answers, especially when I was going bad. He always knew what was wrong."
Thomas won two American League MVPs (1993, '94) with Hriniak as his official hitting coach. Hriniak left the game after the 1995 season but remained Thomas' personal hitting instructor his entire career. Thomas sometimes made trips to Boston to see Hriniak.
"Walt will always be my guy, always," said Thomas, who finished with 2,468 hits and 521 home runs, the latter of which tied him with Ted Williams on the all-time home run list. "The best thing about Walt is he always had a program. It was always the same day-in and day-out whether you are going good or bad. I owe him a lot for helping me with my career."
Speed factor
The Red Sox entered last night with just one stolen base in five World Series games. That's a far cry from their 11 combined steals in the American League Division Series and American League Championship Series.
Boston certainly has speed. Jacoby Ellsbury already has set a club record for most steals (6) in one postseason. But Cards catcher Yadier Molina and the Cards pitchers have neutralized the Red Sox running game.
Stealing off Molina, who just won his sixth straight Gold Glove and has a cannon for an arm, surely isn't an easy task. Molina threw out 43 percent of base stealers this season and is at 45 percent for his career. He has led the league in caught stealing percentage three times, including throwing out 64 percent in 2005.
Base running specialist Quintin Berry entered last night with the only Red Sox steal this series. Berry said he has to be more cautious against Molina than other catchers.
"When a guy like him is good and quick and as accurate as he is, you've got to kind of try to steal off their pitcher and make sure if that pitcher is giving you enough time to try to gain that ground," Berry said. "They're all great"
He is referring to Yadier's has two older brothers, MLB catchers Jose and Bengie.
Jose Molina, 38, just finished his 14th major league season. He has led the league in caught stealing percentage twice and is at 38 percent for his career.
Bengie, 39, is the Cardinals assistant hitting coach and played 13 seasons in the majors. He won two Gold Gloves, led the league in caught stealing percentage twice and had a 31 percent rate for his career.
"Him and his brothers — they're all great catchers," the speedy Quintin Berry said. "They're known for what they do. Ton of respect for that. I love it when I have a catcher on my team that can shut down the run game because I know what it's like as a base runner."
ESPN star roots for Giants?
Chris Berman did some pregame work for ESPN before taking his box seat behind the third base dugout.
The interesting part was the hat he was wearing. It was a San Francisco Giants cap.
Berman grew up rooting for the Giants and to this day they are his favorite baseball team.
"I am wearing the hat of the defending World Series champion," Berman said. "Until there is a new champion, my Giants are the best team in baseball."
Berman also admitted a fondness for North Andover native and New York Giants long snapper Zak DeOssie, who attended his alma mater, Brown University.
"I love Zak," said Berman. "But I did have to highlight him on 'C'mon Man' for his high snap (recently). That is one fine young man."
DeOssie's bad snap led to the Eagles' only points against the New York Giants this past Sunday. Still, the NY Giants were 15-7 winners.
Travel troubles
The Cardinals had a mechanical problem with their plane and didn't arrive in Boston from St. Louis until 11 p.m. Tuesday night. The trip took slightly more than seven hours.
"It was amazing how the guys handled that long of a time, especially as we had lots of family, lots of kids," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said before Game 6. "I didn't hear any complaining at all. Normally guys are, even if they're just in jest, they're still throwing some things out there, but we didn't hear anything."
Matheny said during his pregame press conference that he didn't think the travel would affect his team.
Fisk reflects on other Game 6
Last night marked the first World Series Game 6 at Fenway Park since the iconic 1975 series. That '75 game was won in walkoff fashion when then-Boston catcher Carlton Fisk — now a Hall of Famer — homered off the left field pole in the bottom of the 12th.
Boston won 7-6 but then dropped Game 7 at Fenway Park, 4-3, to the champion Reds.
Fisk as well as his former Red Sox teammate Luis Tiant a.ka. "El Tiante" threw out the first pitches last night.
Fisk said about Game 6 in 1975, "That was quite a game. I don't know if anybody remembers that game from the beginning, and we'd had a lot of rainouts. And we were ahead and behind and behind and behind and tied and then almost ahead in the ninth. And then we went into the 12th inning. And Freddy (Lynn) and I were standing on the on‑deck circle.
"And I don't know what got over me, but I was kind of rejuvenated in that Pete Rose was up the inning before," Fisk continued. "And he came up to the plate all excited. (He said), 'Isn't this the best game you've ever played in? I've never played in a game like this before. This is the greatest game.' About the time I was falling asleep because it was way past my bedtime. And then I kind of realized, this is a pretty great game.
"So then I was up the next inning, talking to Freddy on deck, and I must have had some good karma, good thoughts or something. I said, 'Freddy, I'm going to hit one off the wall. Drive me in.' Because he almost won the game in the bottom of the ninth if that little fly ball to left field had been 10 or 12 feet deeper, then, you know, might never have gotten up to the plate. So he said, 'Yeah, that sounds great to me.' So and then two pitches later it was off the foul pole. And when I hit it I knew it was high enough. I knew it was long enough but I didn't know if it was going to stay fair. And then it did, which was pretty sweet."
Even though several catchers have gone on to be great managers, Fisk doesn't have any intention of returning to the game in that capacity.
Star in making
St. Louis Cardinals 23-year-old closer Trevor Rosenthal certainly has a bright future ahead of him either as a closer or starter.
He took over the closer job late in the regular season and entered last night having allowed no runs in 10.2 innings this postseason. He is 4 for 5 in save opportunities during the playoffs. That lone blown save game in the top of the eighth inning of Game 3 against Boston when he allowed two inherited runners to score, one on a fielder's choice and another on a Xander Bogaerts single to shallow center field.
But he rebounded, throwing a perfect ninth and earning the Game 3 win.
"He keeps it simple," Cardinals starter Lance Lynn said about Rosenthal. "He knows he's got really good stuff and he doesn't try to overdo it. And he's pretty calm all the time. Guys that are high strung might have trouble in situations like that. It's almost like he doesn't even know that a game's going on when he's out there pitching. He's just locked into throwing the ball where he wants to and that's a good quality to have as a pitcher."
Ticket sales
Yes, Red Sox tickets for Game 6 were selling for thousands of dollars.
"From a historic perspective, when you consider that an event like this hasn't been here in a couple of generations possibly, there's a lot of people that are willing to take some extra cash and try to be a part of it," Red Sox manager John Farrell said the day before Game 6.

Global Economy to Slow in 2013
Growth in the global economy will slow to 3.0 percent in 2013 from 3.2 percent in 2012, according to The Conference Board Global Economic Outlook report released today. Annual global growth will remain at an average of 3.0 percent from 2013 to 2018, before declining still further to an average 2.5 percent from 2019 to 2025.
"Mature economies are still healing the scars of the 2008–2009 crisis," said Bart van Ark, chief economist of The Conference Board. "But unlike in 2010 and 2011, emerging markets did not pick up the slack in 2012, and won't do so in 2013. Uncertainty across the regions — from the post-election 'fiscal cliff' question in the U.S. to the Chinese leadership transition and reforms in the Euro Area — will continue to have global impacts in sluggish trade and tepid foreign direct investment."
The long-term global slowdown projected to 2025 will be driven largely by structural transformations in the emerging economies. As China, India, Brazil and others mature from rapid, investment-intensive "catch-up" growth to a more balanced model, the structural "speed limits" of their economies are likely to decline, bringing down global growth despite the recovery we expect in advanced economies after 2013.

IterQuantityAccess<T> object and cache the
iq_id for fast access later.
The idea is that a Step class can create a data member of this type and then access and interation quantity and have the
iq_id looked up the first time.
The best way to use this class to access an iteration quantity is for a header file to be created for the iteration quantity (or several iteration quantities) that contains a new class. For example, suppose we have an
double object that we want to add as an iteration quantity with the name "x_step". For this we might create an header file like:
// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // x_step_iter_quantity.h #include "IterationPack_CastIQMember.hpp" class x_step_iq_member : public CastIQMember<double> { public: x_step_iq_member() : CastIQMember<double>("x_step") {} }
// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // MyStep1.h #include "x_step_iter_quantity.h" class MyStep1 : public AlgorithmStep { public: bool do_step( algo, ... ) { AlgorithmState &s = algo.state(); x_step_(s).set_k(0) = 5.0; } private: x_step_iq_member x_step_; }
// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // MyStep2.h #include "x_step_iter_quantity.h" class MyStep2 : public AlgorithmStep { public: bool do_step( algo, ... ) { AlgorithmState &s = algo.state(); double x_step = x_step_(s).get_k(0); cout << "\nx_step = " << x_step << std::endl; } private: x_step_iq_member x_step_; }
O(s.num_iter_quantities()) search for the
iq_id would only be performed the first time
x_step_(s) was called by each step object. In later iterations, the cached
iq_id would be used to access the iteration quantity and the only price one would pay above a few O(1) function calls in is an O(1) dynamic cast.
The default constructor is not allowed by the default copy constructors and assignment operators are allowed since they have the correct semantics.
Definition at line 141 of file IterationPack_CastIQMember.hpp.
Construct with the name of an iteration quantity.
Definition at line 165 of file IterationPack_CastIQMember.hpp.
Get the iteration quantity from an AlgorithmState object.
If the iteration quantity of the name iq_namt does not exist then a AlgorithmState::DoesNotExist exception will be thrown. If the type of the iteration quantity is not of the type IterQuantityAcess<T> (as determined by dynamic_cast<T>) then the exception InvalidTypeCastException: will be thrown with a helpful error message.
Definition at line 171 of file IterationPack_CastIQMember.hpp.
