Ashley Ridge battled through 22 innings this week to claim the Region 8-AAAA baseball championship.
A productive first inning was the major difference Monday as the Swamp Foxes earned a 5-3 victory over Summerville to move into first place for the region. Aggressive base running and a crucial error were major factors Wednesday when Ashley Ridge fought Colleton County for 15 innings to earn a 4-3 win and clinch the region championship outright.
The Swamp Foxes (17-4, 9-1) close out their schedule Friday with a non-region game at West Ashley and will enter the playoffs as a top seed.
Ashley Ridge coach B.J. Bellush says his team has made quite a turnaround from last season when it only won 11 games.
It all starts with the senior leadership, but also our younger guys are preforming like seasoned players, Bellush said. They are mentally tough and a fun group to coach. From the day our season ended last year these guys hit the weight room and then you could tell there was an attitude change during fall workouts. Im very proud of the kids and our coaching staff. Coach Givens, Coach Fletcher, Coach Rose and Coach Deering do a great job and that makes my job easier.
After getting out of the top of the first inning against Summerville with a double play, the Swamp Foxes scored 3 runs during their first turn at bat. Ashley Ridge leadoff batter Wesley Aschenbrenner reached on a walk and moved around on a bunt-single by Josh Litchfield and a Summerville throwing error. Aaron Miller followed with a deep single to drive in both base runners. Miller moved to second on the throw home and then stole third. He scored on a sacrifice fly by Jason Miller for a 3-0 Swamp Fox lead entering the second.
Ashley Ridge loaded the bases the next inning off two walks and a Josh Church single. Then Litchfield reached on a fielders choice that drove in Nick Rowell for a 4-0 Swamp Fox lead.
Summerville cut the lead in half in the fourth. Billy Peatross was hit by a pitch and scored off a single by Sawyer Bridges. Andrew Kenney then hit a grounder the Swamp Foxes attempted to turn into a double play. Ashley Ridge got the first out but not the second and Matty Powell scored on the throw.
Rowell led off the bottom of the frame with a double and scored of a single by Church for a 5-2 lead that held until the final inning.
Summervilles T.J. Hopkins led off the seventh with a homerun to cut the lead to 2. Johnston McCurry then reached on an error but Ashley Ridge closed the game with a fly out and an unusual double play. Peatross struck out but McCurry got a good jump on the pitch and seemed to have stolen second. However, the umpire ruled Peatross had interfered with the catchers throw to the bag and Ashley Ridge was awarded the third out.
The win avenges a 4-3 loss Ashley Ridge suffered at Summerville on April 2.
We played better defense tonight, Bellush said. We didnt make the errors we made against them the first time.
Carson Walls put in a gutsy performance on the hill to earn the pitching win. He threw six-plus innings and allowed seven hits and three runs. He walked three, hit two batters with pitches and struck out one. Jason Miller relieved him after the homerun and retired two of three batters he faced. The third reached on an error.
Carson didnt have his best stuff tonight but he wanted the ball, Bellush said.
He wanted to go out there in the seventh and I probably shouldnt have let him but then Jason came in and sealed the deal.
They both showed great mental toughness.
Church led the Ashley Ridge batters, going 2 for 3 at the plate. Aschenbrenner reached base four times.
Hopkins was 2 for 4 at the plate and reached base once on a walk. Peatross also reached base three times for Summerville.
On Wednesday, Church threw six and one-third innings and Jason Miller pitched eight and two-thirds innings to pick up the win in relief. The teams entered the 13th inning tied at 1.
With the help of two free bases and a throwing error, Colleton pushed 2 runs across in the top of the frame.
In the bottom of the inning, Rusty Grayson and Jason Miller reached on walks to set up an RBI single from Hunter Grover. After a double steal, Miller scored on a wild pitch to retie the game.
Jason Miller opened the bottom of the 15th inning with a single.
Grover moved him over with a sacrifice bunt and Miller headed to third on the throw to first. He tripped on his way and was called out at third, but after meeting the officials ruled an infielder had interfered with his path to the base so he was awarded third.
With two outs, Cooper Knowles hit a grounder that was mishandled by a Colleton infielder and that allowed Miller to come home for the game-winning run.

Northwest Florida State College students Karen and Richard Strong are passionate about education.
The Holt area couple are working toward their Bachelor of Applied Science degrees, according to an NWF State spokesperson.
Despite having earned a number of certificates and degrees, Richard's going for one last degree — this time, public safety — and his wife, who already had an associate degree, will receive her B.A.S. in human resources.
Continuing their education wasn't a hard sell, they said.
It's so true, Richard told the college spokesperson, that he has a message to young people: basically, stay in school, work hard and go to college.
It makes sense.
United States citizens earning less than a high school diploma potentially earn less than those with additional education and certifications, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest data.
Check out these median weekly earnings, according to the BLS:
●Less than a high school diploma, $472
●High school diploma, $651
●Some college, no degree, $727
●Associate degree, $777
●Bachelor's degree, $1,108
●Master's degree, $1,329
●Professional degree, $1,714
●Doctoral degree, $1,623
Not only that, the unemployment gap narrows as education heightens.
Unemployment rate by education is as follows, according to the BLS:
●Less than a high school diploma, 11 percent
●High school diploma, 7.5 percent
●Some college, no degree, 7 percent
●Associate degree, 5.4 percent
●Bachelor's degree, 4 percent
●Master's degree, 3.4 percent
●Professional degree, 2.3 percent
●Doctoral degree, 2.2 percent
Granted, your pre-tax income may not look like this despite all your degrees.
And if you're a millenial, it might be more difficult to get a job due to several factors.
Time Magazine cites a survey by the Workforce Solutions Group at St. Louis Community College; according to results, 60 percent of employers said applicants just lack basic job skills. So they might have the education, but they can't communicate effectively, dress or act professionally.
In a past job, I dealt with that a lot: Thinking that being asked to perform a task was an option. Reporting to work in flip-flops or glassy-eyed. Bemoaning bills, birth control and other personal issues that have no place of discussion in a workplace. Not completing tasks or flat out telling a supervisor, "I'm not doing this, but I'm doing this..." (Can't stress enough how this was another job in another state.)
I've read stories in trade magazines about millenials bringing their parents to a job interview. It's what happens when you win a trophy for being part of the team or get a gold star "just for being special" — i.e., without having earned it. (OK, that last part's just my soapbox.)
Just some thoughts to ponder.
In other words, back to the daily grind and usual problems, which might be a refreshing change after the unusual destruction we witnessed during last week's record flooding.
We'll be following up on that, by the way. But as of this writing, there's no new information on expected costs to repair damaged roads.

Beautiful object - magnet too strong
This is my second Bosca money clip and, like the first, it is a beautiful object, in appearance and feel. My only criticism is that the magnet is too strong when you're carrying only a few bills.

text: I called my Dr. office today and talked to the nurse that found the protein in my urine...I asked her to please tell me how much she found. She said she couldn't remember offhand but that she thought it was +1. I said "Could you please make sure for me?" and so she went and looked at my chart. She came back on the phone and said "Sandy, actually it was +2!!" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am I right in wondering why he didn't run ANY tests when my protein jumped from trace to +2 in FIVE days!!! I called the clinic at UVA and they have me scheduled for an appt tomorrow at 2:00. I had hoped they would want to see me sooner, but I am just going to have to wait now. Hopefully nothing awful will happen between today and tomorrow. I am having my records faxed to both the new Dr. and to me. Hopefully that way I can keep track of my own case somewhat...and feel relatively informed. Thanks for all the support...I don't know what I would do without the support and information that I can always find on this site!!!

With City of Heroes and Paragon Studios set to close by the end of the year, we're taking some time this week to reflect on the game.

I think Mission Architecture, as implemented by Paragon Studios, killed the game's community. The feature set of the Architecture system was great, but the exploitable nature of experience grinding in those missions made it the optimal choice for grinding to max level.
I played COX for years, and my now 18 year old daughter played COX as her first (and currently only) MMO.
I had a good time, but it's time for it to go. Too bad Paragon didn't have a good exit stratergy for what should have been obvious years ago (the shrinking population). I would have pre-purchased a COX 2 sight unseen.
I wish all the devs the best of luck in their future endeavors.

City of Heroes was my second MMO after Dark Age of Camelot. When I made the switch I was thrilled with CoH, so pardon me one wall of text while I wax nostalgic over the death of an old friend.
The first big perk in CoH was travel powrs. After playing a game where it took (remember there was no porting in DAoC when it released) a lot of time to go from point to point, the idea of being able to just jump there in a few seconds was astounding.
Then there was the sidekicking system, which enabled people of different levels to play together any time they wanted. Had to miss a few days of playing and fell behind? No problem. You could still group with the same people and enjoy the time together.
The fact there was practically no loot at release (you bought enhancements and everyone had access to the same thing) I thought might be a negative. In truth, after watching people squabble over loot drops for years it was a relief not to have to worry about it. It took a huge stressor out of grouping. As they added loot (Hamidons anyone?) I began to worry that the snake was loose in the Garden of Eden, but I don't really ever recall stressing about loot or too many loot fights.
It was also the first game I played where you could literally solo from level 1 to level 50. Your character had many contacts who gave them missions (quests really) and those had interesting story lines. If you logged in and didn't want to group or your buddies weren't on and you couldn't find one it wasn't a problem. You just popped open your contacts, got a mission and off you went to level up. After playing a game with forced grouping to llevel in anywhere near efficient time (21 days /played to level cap back in DAoC 2:00 AM on March 3, 2002 and that was approximately "normal" back then) the ability to log on for fifteen minutes and solo and achieve something was a revelation.
There was no PvP when the game launched, but truthfully I never missed it. Even when they implemented it, I never really engaged in it. For some reason I just never felt the need to PVP in that game. People scoffed (although the PvP system did have great features) but something about the air of the game made PvP kind of unnessesary.
Now the big seller was the character customization. I'd come from a game where your choices were about 15 different faces and whether you'd be small, medium or large. Then it was down to the kind of dye you wore on your armor to express your individuality. With CoH you could sit in front of the computer for hours designing your chracter with almost limitless character size scales, costume options and a huge color pallet. To this day it still has to rank as one of the great charracter creators ever.
The game also caught me at just the right time in my life. I was starting my own business and my wife and I were having kids, so I couldn't afford the time to play a game like DAoC anymore. DAoC almost demanded you log on every night if for no other reason than to defend your realm. CoH was so casual friendly that it was a boon. I could miss a week of gameplay and still hang with my buddies, where in DAoC I'd have been left behind. It also allowed me to start and stop suddenly for when someone needed a diaper changed etc. The side benefit was when I had a fussy baby I could sit him or her in my lap and log into CoH and the quick movements and flashy colors would distract both them and me.
But the best part was the community. Back in the day if you were a roleplayer this was the place to go. And if you wanted to find the best roleplayers you logged into the Virtue server and headed for Galaxy Park. There you found hundreds of other players roleplaying, telling stories and preparing for a night of adventure. I've got theories as to why the game generated such a welcoming and happy community (Lack of PvP, not much in the way of loot, strong roleplaying segment, developers like Cupa Joe who were incredibly accessible in and out of game and who actually played their game), but it was just what a refugee from a Realm based game needed.
Finally on a personal note this game gave birth to the most vivid character I ever dreamed up as a roleplayer; Nox Noctivagus - The One Who Wanders at Night. (a Dark Melee/Super Reflexes Scrapper) Nox came to Paragon City as a faceless (he wore a faceless steel helmet over his head) and nameless werewolf slave to his vampire Mistress Cimmaron (played by a truly excellent roleplayer I met in DAoC). Over the course of his leveling up he met other characters and eventually rediscovered his former self and was freed by his Mistress, who then became the great love of his life. The story of his journies and adventures in Paragon (Echoes in the Dark) covered more than 300 pages when I printed it out and was posted on the Virtue VN Boards for all to read. People joined in and added their own chapters about their experiences with Nox who went from souless wrecking machine to big, terrifying, cuddly Superhero who terrorized the criminals of Paragon City while protecting the weak and innocent from the attempted evils of the villans.
Thanks to City of Villians (which I helped beta test) I was able to create Lord Ignotus and his Order of the Fang, Nox's nemesis who not only battled Nox, but tried to tempt him into yielding to the animal instincts of what Nox called "His Beast" (his werewolf self) and become a villain. The Order of the Fang included Madame Cauchemar (Pleasant Dreams, Mon Cher!), Dr. Creepzncrawlz (Death has a head start on you!), Myster Grym (I am Myster Grym), Lady Blackheart (And one to the heart!), and The Scarlet Vanguard (who later changed her ways and became a hero. This was before Going Rogue so I had to delete her as a villain and rerole her as a hero). Tempted by power, lust, greed, hatred, fear and the disappearance of his Mistress Cimmaron, Nox faced madness and the demons in his ancient soul (he was 4000 years old) before ultimately mastering his beast and remaining a hero. Yet he would always find himself strangely tempted by the gracile, stunning beautiful, spectacularly deadly and cruelly manipulative daughter of Lord Ignotus, Madame Cauchemar (a stalker and chief operative of the Order of the Fang) who's laugh and languid taunts delivered in French, always haunted him.
With all that going for it, it's no wonder I remember CoX fondly. So maybe before they pull the plug I'll load up the game one more time and just take a tour of all the old sights and maybe, just maybe, run across someone who remembers the Old Wolf from days gone by. So in tribute to all that was good in Paragon City, here is what was always the first and last lines of all the Nox Noctivagus story arcs. Maybe someone remember, but most won't . But just so a little piece of that time survives, here it goes.
"Welcome to my world. It is a stark world of black and white under pale moonlight and it comes to life after sunset. Every night, after the sun goes down, I yield to Mistress Luna, who calls to the animal in me, and I don my red and black leathers, my red mask and my black hood and I go out to do what I have done for more than four thousand years. I go out to do what I will do for the rest of my undying life. I hunt.
Who am I?
I am The One Who Wanders at Night.
I am Nox Noctivagus."
Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.

Theres a slim chance Nexon could buy it if NCsoft would sell it.
Normally I wouldnt care, but I've spent so much money buying paragon points to support the game and buy new costume sets and power sets. It sucks that I've wasted 7 years and hundreds of dollars and now it's all going away when I was still enjoying it and expected to enjoy it for years to come. But oh well.
Maybe they'll make a CoH2 and hopefully they'll get a better publisher.

COH was the first game that my wife and I played together and it's the first game that I introduced my young son to. I am going to miss this game, specifically around Halloween as it's been a staple in our house during that month. So much so that even with active WoW accounts, I have never seen WoW's Brewfest as I'd always prefer trick or treating instead.
I have yet to see a game push the same sheer mass of mob numbers at a player in any game to date. Watching a "flood room" in COH makes any other game look weak by comparison. Jiffy Pop FTW!
I give huge props to Positron, Castle, BAB, Warwitch and the Crew on working so hard to make this game what it was.
In my opinion, this is one of those rare instances where freemium models hurt instead of helped.
Reasonably stable community, add freemium, community dissappears.
I figure if a game like AC can maintain it's community and it's pricing model for this many years based on its' community then a game like COH could've as well.
Before it closes down I will definitely be giving my Tanker, 1st Wave another run though.
It's a shame they close games like this and SWG but leave games like STO open.

Let go of my ears, I know what I'm doing!
I know I'll definitely miss it, but yeah... if a game has F2P options, and it's still empty? That's a problem.
I do hope those folks find work. It became pretty clear, IMO that when Cryptic got split up, Paragon kept the bulk of the talent. CO was supposed to be CoX 2.0 and turned out to be CoX 0.6b...
It sucks to see so much work get deleted. Good luck to all of you...

Obviously this is where the game run into issues, just as Aion has.
I agree with what you say about the AE though. The actual feature was pretty amazing, but they should have actively plugged that avenue of exploitation a long time ago. It simply was not good for the game.

Such a shame. This was, to date, my favorite mmo. I was in on beta for CoV and had just missed out on the beta for CoH. From character creation to gameplay to backstory and mission arcs... Well done! Up until the end I was a paying member. Let us hope for a sequel comes along that can do it justice! My best to those folks at Paragon Studios.

I'm not really sure what you guys are talking about with the game being empty. The game I played was never empty. I still play today. When Going Rogue came out the game was loaded with people. So many people that it was ridiculous. It looked like CoH had just launched that's how many people were playing. When CoH Freedom launched, it had the same thing happen all over again. On any server I've been on I never had a hard time finding other people to play with and people were pretty common. I know that the players are banding together to try to save the game. I hope they succeed because honestly it's a good game and it deserves to be saved. If I were rich I would totally invest money in the game and buy it. I think that would be money well spent to be honest. It's still an infinitely better game then Champions or DCUO.

Wow!! this made me want to comment on this. You are either a fraud or just do not know what your talking about. Virtue and Freedom are consistently jammed and i have never found it difficult to locate or assemble a team on either servers.
Now things have changed over the years and the game has evolved, I started playing the game in December of 2007, and have noticed over the years that the population has fluctuated. After going rougue and Freedom released all servers enjoyed healthy loads.
But what i have seen, and experienced over the years is.....a new game will come out (in this case , What 4 have come out in the last 6 to 8 months) servers populations are affected but people always seem to come back. SWTOR seemed to rifle a lot and now i hear and see alot of people returning having stated that particular game has nothing to keep them interested and they were coming back to a game that always has new content coming out.
I think that if the writer of this article had looked deeper he would had learned this.
A good reminisce down memory lane, Mike. Thanks for that :) That 2002 video was fun to watch and listen to. The differences between then and what released 2 years later is amazing. "Targeted Combat"? Didn't see that in this game :)
I will miss CoH, too. It was the MMO that got me into video editing. It is the only MMO that I know of that used a "/demorecord" command that created an editable text file that a player could fairly easily manipulate to create some awesome footage.
CoH was also my "stand-by" game. I always knew it was there. I knew players on my server and in guilds would be there. Now... it will be gone.
It is sad that NCSoft is not pulling the plug only on CoH, but Paragon Studios as well. I wish all those people there the best in life, wherever they may end up.

It's true that freedom and virtue had healthy populations, but pretty much every other server did not.
They had talked about one time a serverless architecture, such a change, and curbing the farmability of mission architect, could have plotted a different course for the game.
Some months or maybe longer back, I posted about how after they released CoV with the promise of base raid and supergroup vs villaingroup battles, they failed to follow through on that promise, and I believe had they made it a real dynamic and viable endgame, once again, perhaps the game would not be sunsetting now.
And finally, their f2p model was too agressive with the pricing, it scared away most people who had any common sense. For anyone to really get access to all content, they would have had to pay way more than a regular monthly fee, and to me that seems to be a self-defeating strategy.
I wish some smarter heads had been at the helm post CoV release. Admittedly they tried to get base raids working properly for a year or two, but apparently they laid off whatever programmers had done the initial base functionality coding.

You metioned GW2 and having played that I would just like to say that their engine would be a great match for CoH2 I'd think.
I doubt we'll see it but City of Heroes combat would fall right into GW2 combat system. Not to mention the "mission" system in GW2 would also fit a CoH style game very well. Too bad NCsoft is just the publisher for GW2 and doesn't own the tech.
Oh well best of luck to everyone involved with CoH.

I am one of those that started playing CoH when it went F2P (so about a year ago).
I liked it enough I dropped about $120 on it. Which I guess would have been less than I had a subscribed for a year, but still enough that I'm more than a little irked at NCSoft for cancelling the game so soon after it went F2P.
I think they made a lot of misteps with the F2P switch. Too many servers, for one, and they recommended servers that were almost empty. And yet, because of the way the F2P model worked, once you picked a server, you had to buy character slots on other ones. So when I reached my 20s or so and started looking around for people to team with, there was no one there. And I was locked in. I ended up buying slots on other servers, but out of 14-16 servers, only 2 are really packed with players.
It also didn't help that the game basically stopped telling you where to go after level 8. You do the intro arc with that Matt Habashy guy and his wife, and there's nothing. You are told to talk to this superhero group, the Shooting star, but that had a level req of 10 past the first couple missions.
They really should have revamped 1-20, rather than just 1-8 (Atlas Park).

Thanks for your coverage. As others have noted, the population of CoH has always flunctuated depending on what other games were launching, but it always rebounded to roughly the same level.
Neither population nor profits seem to have been involved in this decision, note that NCsoft's only official word to date on the reasons mentions neither as the reason, but simply cites "a realignment of company focus and publishing support". If profits or popularity were the problem, NCsoft would have said so. Repeated statements by former Paragon Studios employees are that the game was both steadily profitable and had a stable population base.
It sounds to me like you just happened to wander in during a lull. Also appears to me that you were playing on the villain side, which has never had a strong following simply because most people don't want to be the bad guys. Looking around has never been the best way to check population anyway, server load or sampling the numbers off the search tool gives much more solid information.
Your commentary demonstrates pretty clearly that this fight is not about numbers anyway. What is far more important is the artistic and human elements of the fight. This community IS unique. I've been involved in many MMOs now, and participated in the community around each of them. None of the others have been as friendly and helpful as the folks in Paragon City.
We intend to fight to the end, and beyond if necessary. We are heroes. This is what we do.

Personally, I think NCSoft (and Nexon) figured out they simply cannot compete in the Superhero arena, while Cryptic is now marching into the High Fantasy with Never Winter Online.
It makes me sad to let go, but at the same time, I have to be honest and say that I got what I wanted from CoH.
Would I invest my time in another Superhero MMO if NCSoft/Paragon Studios would make one? That's probably the question NCSoft figure most players would say "NO" to. And, to be honest... CoX 2 would have to be A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and most likely designed and launched F2P just to compete not only with Champions Online and DCUO but other action-based MMO titles like NCSofts' Guild Wars 2!
Therefore, I can't blame NCSoft/Nexon for giving up.

For me, I couldn't stick with the game because the lack of pvp. A game with heros and villains is perfect for a pvp server. Have bases for each side others could attack. Could even take it apb style and have quests that send a hero to stop a villain that has a quest to do something. Perfect game for something like that,...sadly pvp was an afterthought. That said, the game was still fun...the best character creation of any game i've ever played.
They need to make a CoH 2...

UFC 161 adds Alexis Davis vs. Rosi Sexton to fight lineup - Bloody Elbow
The UFC 161 lineup appears to be complete with the addition of women's bantamweights Alexis Davis and Rosi Sexton. UFC Canada officials announced the matchup on Twitter:
Davis (13-5) has won both of her Invicta fights by submission, including avenging an earlier loss to Shayna Baszler with a 3rd round RNC stoppage. She's also defeated current UFC fighters Amanda Nunes and Julie Kedzie while still in Strikeforce.
Sexton (13-2) is a Cage Warriors veteran currently on a three fight winning streak. While she competes primarily at flyweight and is currently the #2 ranked women's 125er in the world (behind other new signing Sheila Gaff), the UFC only has the 135 lbs division for women's MMA. You may recall Sexton recently wrote a highly intriguing piece on her blog regarding Fallon Fox.
Ariel Helwani reports that this fight will air on the PPV main card.

American Rivers, a national river conservation organization, has expressed interest in naming the Ashley River one of its "blue trails."
The interest comes hand-in-hand with a request from the Dorchester County Conservation Commission to the County Council asking for a conservation easement on the Ashley River Park property.
A conservation easement would require the current and any future owners of the property to protect the land according to the easement specifications.
Conservation Commission Chairman Mike Dawson presented the request to the council at its Oct. 7 meeting.
At the request of Councilman Jay Byars, Dawson presented the information again to the Parks and Recreation Commission at their Oct. 9 meeting.
"The park is protected now, yes, but it's only as protected as this or any future council wants it," Dawson said. "We're asking for an easement to avoid the possibility of selling and subdividing the property in order to protect the river corridor."
Blue trails – which promote the conservation of rivers through recreational use – are often associated with conservation easements because a river must be healthy in order for it to be a part of the program.
"There's a good opportunity to do this on the Ashley River," said Gerrit Jobsis, the southeast regional director at American Rivers. "We recognize that the Ashley is a great resource, but it's under some threat."
The blue trail program started in South Carolina with the Congaree River, and has since grown to be a nationwide initiative.
Although not official yet, if the Ashley River becomes a blue trail it will be the fourth in the state and the eighth in the country.
Just as a hiking trail is designed to facilitate recreation in green spaces, the blue trails promote recreation on rivers.
Jobsis said if the Ashley River becomes a blue trail, American Rivers will help promote its recreation by publicizing public access points, identifying local history surrounding the river, and creating a map that would provide information on the river's features and how to paddle it.
"This would really bring visibility to the Ashley River," said Dawson.
But before that process starts, Jobsis said American Rivers will be reaching out to the community, including local government officials and members of the public, to get their opinions.
So far, he said the feedback has been positive: "I'm excited about the Ashley. I'm really happy with the enthusiasm I've seen when talking with folks in the area. It's going to be a great project and I look forward to working on this."

Articles Related to this exact question
Mayo Clinic Article
Anyways here are some interesting findings in Mayo Clinic article:
The Good:
Overall, so far the jury is out that coffee can be substantially important in reducing risks of cancer, and various other diseases; just limit your intake.
The bad:
I would just stick to your guns and do what you feel is right. I would continue to consume coffee. It seems as there are a lot of perks of coffee. I would of course, as stated previously, enjoy coffee in moderate amounts.
I think that everyone should take a break every 2 hours for at least 10 minutes in able to relax and prepare oneself for the next 2 hours. Don't just go drink coffee and rob your body of it's deserved energy!
I wanted to answer this question because I felt that the accepted answer is a all too positive about coffee. There is one aspect of drinking coffee (4 times a day like in this case) which I don't like: it's caffeine. It messes up the Basic Rest-Activity Cycle of our bodies. But first let's see what caffeine does.
If you check with Wikipedia you can read:
In this article, Caffeine Psychological Effects, Use and Abuse, it's found that :
This site discuses the Basic Rest-Activity Cycle of our body, which is an ultradian rhythm, because it's about 90 minutes long (less than 24 hours). This means that about every 90 minutes (one and a half hour) your body 'tells' you that it's time to rest. You might feel a little tired or you feel like yawning :)
What do most developers do when they are programming and are about to reach the 90 minutes cycle? They go drink a coffee instead of having a 10 minutes break to rest their eyes and change body posture, or use the time to relax. The caffeine kicks in at most one hour later and lasts for three to four hours. This means that, at about midday, your Rest-Activity Cycle is totally delayed, not being able to turn the activity down a notch and use the time to replenish lost energy.
So listen to your body more carefully and when it 'tells' you it's tired, stand up, maybe stretch a little or just go for a walk through the office to talk to another colleague. Turn off the focus from the monitor to some other activity which is less straining on the mind.

'The Walking Dead' TV Action Figure Photos Are Staggering Toward Your Door
They Walk, They Bite, and They Need a New Home This Fall
Thursday, June 23, 2011
Sharpen up your survival skills, McFarlane Toys is introducing a new line of figures inspired by the highly acclaimed AMC television show, The Walking Dead. The TV series, adapted from the The Walking Dead comic book series, follows a group of survivors, led by Deputy Rick Grimes, as they travel in search of a safe and secure home after a zombie apocalypse.
The Walking Dead TV Series 1 introduces four gruesomely realistic 6-inch figures based on the unforgettable humans and zombies from AMC's original drama. This debut series will be shambling into Toys "R" Us and comic book stores nationwide this November. Now board up the windows and don't make a sound, because we're taking a closer look at this brains-obsessed lineup.
Deputy Rick Grimes
After waking from a coma in an abandoned hospital, deputy Rick Grimes finds the world he knew gone -- ravaged by a zombie epidemic of apocalyptic proportions. Our figure of Rick features the exact likeness of the actor, taken from a 3D scan of Andrew Lincoln himself. The figure comes with a revolver, shotgun, walkie talkie, baseball bat, and hand grenade accessories.
Daryl Dixon
An abrasive survivalist, and brother of the outspoken racist Merle, Daryl Dixon is an all-new character created specifically for the hit AMC television show. Our figure of Daryl features the exact likeness of the actor, taken from a 3D scan of Norman Reedus himself. Figure comes with crossbow, hunting knife, fire axe, pick axe, and even a string of squirrels.
Zombie Walker
This memorable zombie, clad in a dirty business suit, was encountered by Rick during his first excursion into Atlanta. Upon Rick's arrival, the walker rose from the wreckage of a city bus and followed Rick to an abandoned tank -- left behind by the miltary's futile attempt to stop the zombie plague.This figure features all the attention to detail that McFarlane Toys is known for. Plus, like all of our The Walking Dead zombie figures, the Zombie Walker features unique play action for even more fun. This one includes a special wind-up feature, but don't let your Zombie Walker wonder off!
Zombie Biter
This gruesome zombie was an important part of fans' introduction to Daryl Dixon. Found feeding on a deer in the forest near the survivors' camp, the Zombie Biter was beheaded by the group -- but didn't stop until Daryl arrived and shot it in the brain with his signature crossbow.This figure features all the attention to detail that McFarlane Toys is known for. Plus, like all of our The Walking Dead zombie figures, the Zombie Biter features unique play action for even more fun. This one features a deer meat accessory and a spring-loaded moving jaw, so your Zombie Biter will actually bite!
McFarlane Toys
McFarlane Toys is the fifth largest action figure manufacturer in the United States. Established in 1994 to manufacture and sell action figures based on founder Todd McFarlane's comic book character Spawn, the international award-winning company has expanded into licensed products to become one of the premiere action figure producers on the planet.

You might not expect Mississippi State to put up much of a fight at Alabama on Saturday. The Bulldogs are 7-0 and ranked 13th in the country, but come on—this is Alabama we're talking about. The big, bad, seemingly indomitable Crimson Tide. Defending national champs and, by all signs, steamrolling toward a second consecutive title.
The UPS Team Performance Index is not impressed.
Actually, the TPI—a formulaic ranking system devised by UPS and STATS LLC—does see 7-0 Alabama as the second-best team in college football, right behind 7-0 Kansas State. As insults go, picking a team No. 2 isn't exactly cruel.
But you won't find the Tide anywhere but first in any other polls—and you won't find the Bulldogs as high up as they are here anywhere else, either.
According to the TPI, this game on Saturday in Tuscaloosa is a battle of 2 vs. 3. That could make for a much closer game than oddsmakers are projecting.
Rounding out this week's top 10: 4. Florida, 5. Ohio, 6. Florida State, 7. Oklahoma, 8. Oregon, 9. Rutgers and 10. Boise State.

Tarte Silver Burst is brighter, whiter. Guerlain Les Aquas #4 is more metallic. Bobbi Brown Iced Blue is cooler-toned.

State Cross Country record book takes a beatingNovember 10, 2012
Just back from a picture-perfect day — maybe even too warm (nearly 70) for the athletes — at the Kentucky Horse Park for the State High School Cross Country Championships.
Quick highlights follow.
Class A — Danville junior Meagan Smith capped her first season in the sport by winning the state title, timed in 19:16.39 for 5,000 meters. She finished more than 21 seconds ahead of runner-up Karly Gawarecki of (Louisville) Holy Cross. Three-time defending champion Maddox Patterson of Sayre, battling the effects of mononucleosis, ran a gutsy race to place third. St. Henry repeated as team champion, winning for the fifth time in six years, by scoring 62 points. Green County was second with 1:05.
Class 2A — Collins eighth-grader Gabriella Karas not only repeated as individual champion, her time of 17:44.18 broke the meet record of 18:11.92 — set two years ago by her older sister Catarina. Karas won by a minute-and-a-half over Aleja Grant of Paducah Tilghman (19:14.91). Highlands, led by 4-5 finishers Sydney Ossege and Molly Mearns, unseated defending team champion South Oldham 65-96.
Class 3A — Top-ranked Bailey Davis led an Assumption assault on the team title. Davis finished in 18:12.72, followed by Daviess County's Whitney O'Bryan in 18:36.37. Assumption's Emily Bean and Katherine Receveur ran 3-4 and the Rockets claimed their third straight title, and fifth in six years, with 31 points. Bowling Green placed second with 78.
Class A — (Louisville) Holy Cross senior Jacob Thomson again stamped himself as one Kentucky's all-time elites, setting the all-class State Meet record with a 5K time of 15:21.40. That broke the record of 15:33.24 set by Daviess County's Evan Ehrenheim in 2010. (Greenwood's Michael Eaton clocked 15:05.89 in 2005 on the old course, in the Horse Park campgrounds. Thomson has the record on the "paddock" course.) Sayre's Nick Waltman placed second in 16:22.94. St. Henry won its 11th consecutive team championship, outdistancing Walton Verona 84-116.
Class 2A — Lexington Catholic senior Nicholas Laureano, runner-up last year, stepped up the top of the podium this time. He pulled away from Logan County's Sye Head in the late stages to win in 16:41.98, to Head's 16:53.58. North Oldham captured its third team title in a row, scoring 110. Second-place Bullitt East totaled 212, a point ahead of Edmonson County.
Class 3A — Aptly named Muhlenberg County junior Chase Geary won in 15:58.66, ahead of Butler's Patrick Gregory in 16:14.39. The big news was about the next five finishers — Sam Lewis, Nick Reader, Christopher Striege, defending champion Connor Sheryak and Max Mudd — all of St. Xavier. With a 2-3-4-5-6 finish in the team race (Geary was running as an individual and, thus, did not factor in team places), the Tigers tied the record for fewest points scored in the State Meet, 20. St. X's second straight win also snapped a tie with archrival Trinity for most state titles. The Tigers now lead the Shamrocks 19-18.

Thumbs Up -- Judge Norbert Smith
by Randall Harder
posted Apr 27 2011 1:52PM
MANKATO -- Every once in a while something happens in court that makes me smile.
Take last Thursday.
I'm in court waiting for a defendant to appear before Judge Norbert Smith in Blue Earth County District Court.
There's a slew of people rolling through the legal process when an young, attractive co-ed steps up with her public defender before Judge Smith.
The attorney informs the judge that a plea has been reached where the female will plead guility to a charge of violating Mankato's Social Host ordiance. We come to learn that a party with underage drinkers was held at her residence. The plea would reduce the charge from a misdeamnor to petty misdemeanor.
While Judge Smith is reviewing the plea and her record, he discovers the young lady herself has six prior citations for underage consumption.
Smith tells the woman that he won't accept the arranged plea because of her past conduct.
So Smith sent the woman and her attorney packing, telling them they'd have to get the deal approved by the orginal judge who heard the case.
Too many times I've seen young people with multiple underage consumption violations simply go before a judge, get a fine and listen to a judge tell them 'not to do it again.'
In this case Smith held the woman accountable for her past.
We're not sure what happened when they made the case in front of the other judge. It's likely that judge accepted the deal and the woman skated.
But for a brief moment that woman had to accept that maybe her past was catching up with her.

BLOG -- Had My Fill Of Filling Up At The Pump
by Randall Harder
posted Apr 11 2011 11:12AM
I can't remember the last time I filled it up at the gas station.
There's is something about pushing the pump past $40 that I can't stomach. I'd rather put in $30 a couple times a week than $60 once.
Gone are the days of letting the pump run until it clicks off. Gone also are the days of trying to squeeze in another buck or two after the pump stops.
To be honest, I'm not evn sure what it would take to fill up my vehicle. I remember putting $50 dollars in over a month ago.
I'd rather not know.
I can't handle the truth.

RANDALL'S BLOG -- Second Thoughts On Dipping My Toes In The Ocean
by Randall Harder
posted Feb 24 2011 10:10AM
MANKATO -- I'm a swimmer. Been jumping in the deep end of the pool since I was a toddler. I blame the year 1975 for my discomfort in wading into the Pacific Ocean in two weeks when I head to Los Cabos, Mexico. "Don't go in the water" is what the movie poster said. Damn you Peter Benchley. I was just ten years old when I read your book and saw the movie Jaws. Well, I had given in and agreed to at least give the ocean a shot. Then came today. At the daily media briefing by Mankato police, a long absent detective emerged and disclosed he was vacationing with family in Cancun. "Cool, I'm going to Mexico in a little over a week," this reporter disclosed. "We had a shark attack on our beach," said the detective. Sure enough. I Googled and plenty of shark attack stories Googled back.
Stories of the Canadian nurse
, who went into the ocean to cool off after a game of beach volleyball. Dozens of stories of whistles....and pictures...missing chunks of flesh...finding flesh floating in the salty water. She's alive and a story to tell. My story will be told from the pool and the beach. Wading in the ocean will likely be a game time decision.
So, I ask you? To steal a line from the Zac Brown Band song
Should put my "toes it the water" or keep my "a** in the sand."

Facebook -- A wonderful place to whine
by Randall Harder
posted Feb 21 2011 8:55AM
MANKATO -- I've decided to write a letter today to Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook.
Dear Mark,
Since you were my first friend when I joined Facebook I thought I'd share this with you.
When I joined Facebook over a year ago I thought it would be fun to keep in contact with family and reconnect with old friends.
What I've determined is a lot of family and friends are nothing but social media whiners.
It's too cold and too much snow.
And then when it warms up and the snow melts they are whining that their driveway is full of water.
Even this morning, when someone posted "Happy Monday...", someone had to complain about the winter storm.
Is everyone this annoying on Facebook.
I'm hoping I don't have to unfriend half the people on my list.
Have a wonderful Monday.
Your Facebook friend,
PS, could you friend me on ESPNU College Town? I need to expand my campus.

Making A First Impression In Court Appears An Afterthought
by Randall Harder
posted Feb 16 2011 12:48PM
MANKATO -- Over the course of a year I'll sit through hundrends of court hearings. For many of them I'm just a casual observer as you often have to sit through a handful or more of defendants before the person of interest takes his or her turn in front of the judge. In addition, I make at minimum a daily visit to the Blue Earth County Justice Center on my beat and I walk through the waiting area full of people waiting for their hearing. And I have to ask you....What are you thinking? Would kill you to put on a nice shirt and slacks to appear before the judge? I am amazed at what some people wear when then come to court. I guess first impressions are lost on alot of people. I've seen sweatpants. Grease-stained shirts. Torn jeans and beer company t-shirts. Most look more like they are heading to Old Country Buffet than a legal proceeding. So the next time you come to court for your third Driving After Revocation charge or your Minor Consumption Charge, hit the closet and put on something nice. Or at a minimum...clean. It's just a lack of respect to the court. Which is probably why you are in court in the first place.

In some good news from Capitol Hill today, Congressman Ed Markey (D-MA) re-introduced critical legislation aimed at combating rampant seafood mislabeling and moving us towards a traceability system for seafood bought and sold in the United States. He was joined by a bipartisan group of original cosponsors: Walter Jones (R-NC), John Tierney (D-MA), Bill Keating (D-MA), Lois Capps (D-CA) and Jo Bonner (R-AL). Below is our statement commending the new legislation.
Washington, DC—American fishermen lose money every day as a result of mislabeled seafood, but Congress is renewing its efforts to change that. In a bold step towards creating a national seafood traceability system that could combat rampant seafood mislabeling, a bipartisan group of federal lawmakers today re-introduced the Safety and Fraud Enforcement for Seafood Act.
The House legislation, of which Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) is the lead sponsor, has the potential to lay the groundwork for a national seafood traceability system in the United States. It comes in the wake of yet another round of revelations about the extent of seafood mislabeling. A study released by advocacy group Oceana last month found that one-third of 1215 samples analyzed nationwide were mislabeled according to US Food and Drug Administration guidelines.
Matt Tinning, Executive Director of the Marine Fish Conservation Network, said today: "Seafood fraud hurts fishermen around the country, from Boston to the Bering Sea. In the face of overwhelming evidence about the scale of the problem, our government must act with urgency. Thankfully, some leaders in Congress have got the memo; today's bill takes a stand for America's fishermen."
Tom Dempsey, Policy Director of the Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen's Association in Chatham, MA agrees. "More than ever, consumers are looking to support sustainable American fisheries. But, without transparency in the supply chain, it's nearly impossible to make that kind of informed decision. Whether it's horse meat sold as beef or some cheap seafood substitute touted as quality American product, we can't tolerate fraud when it comes to our food. It's unfair and unsafe. The SAFE Seafood Act can move us towards a level playing field that America's commercial fishermen need and consumers deserve."
Shockingly, Oceana's study found just seven of 120 samples of red snapper purchased nationwide were correctly labeled, with tests identifying the remaining 113 samples as another fish. Those findings have been greeted with dismay by commercial red snapper fishermen.
"It's frustrating as hell", said Donny Waters, a co-founder of Gulf Coast Professional Fishermen, who fishes primarily for red snapper out of Pensacola, FL. "I work hard every day to bring a quality product to American consumers. It's been shocking to discover how often seafood lovers around the country are victims of a bait and switch. They deserve far better—and so do I."
