In a large online store (1PB), if you have lots of small files(32Kb<), images (256KB-5MB) and videos (>100MB) is it possible to use multiple disks with different stripe size?
Lets say 10 disk with 16 KB stripe size, 20 disk with 256KB, 30 disk with 1MB. When you are uploading an video, it uploads to disks with 1MB stripes, or when you are uploading a small files ip uploads to disks with 16KB stripes.
small stripe size causes too many chucks of a large files, and large stripes are ineffective if you have small files <32kb, can it increase read/write performance if you use different stripe sizes.

Everyone can exhale after the New Orleans Saints pulled off a 16-14 win on the road in Tampa Bay on Sunday. The offense performed when it had to, while the defense for the second consecutive week kept the Saints in the game.
And yet I know many of you have questions even though the Saints are 2-0 and will be favored to win this Sunday against Arizona in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
So drop a question in the comments section below and I'll answer as many as I can until 1 p.m.

Tess Mullen, MPA '13
Undergrad: Harvard University
Work Experience Prior to Fels: Communications Director for U.S. Congressman Jason Altmire (PA-04)
Current Internship: Fels Consulting
Interests: Urban Economic Development
Why did you choose Fels?
I was initially attracted to Fels because it offers a Certificate in Economic Development and Growth, a field I hope to pursue after graduation. What really sold me on the program though was the amount of personal attention it offers to students. From day one, it was clear to me that the faculty and staff care deeply about their students and will do all that they can to help them succeed.
What is your role in the Fels Research and Consulting practice?
I am an Associate Consultant with Fels Research & Consulting, the Institute's public sector consulting practice. Through my position with Fels R&C, I have gotten to sharpen my political and quantitative skills by working with outside clients on public sector projects.
What has been your favorite thing about Fels thus far?
I love how practical our classes are. For instance, this semester I am learning how to develop performance management plans and how to generate and read nonprofit financial reports. I have no doubt that developing hard skills like these will make me a more effective nonprofit leader in the future.

People often think of marketing as advertising – the ads you see on billboards, in newspapers, on television or the internet. Or you might think of a sales person pitching their latest invention or discovery on an infomercial. But marketing is much more and it should begin with a market analysis.
The value and importance of a good market analysis cannot be overemphasized. It can be the difference between success and failure of your program.
This module provides information on performing a market analysis and marketing your program.
View each section of this module by topic, at right »
Marketing is a term broadly used to describe activities associated with identifying markets as well as interesting potential customers and clients in your services. Marketing involves researching, analyzing, developing, promoting, educating, and informing.
Marketing should answer two important questions:
Before you begin to consider your new telehealth program, it is important to perform an environmental scan of your current system. You should be completely familiar with your organization's current programs and those of your competitors. You should understand current services available in the target community, the geographic distribution of those services, current referral patterns out of the community for those services, partner organizations, and other organizational initiatives.
A marketing program provides the opportunity to educate and inform the many people and organizations that will come in contact with your telehealth program. A fully developed marketing program can assure that your telehealth program is positively received by major stakeholders and it can be instrumental in the positive adoption of telehealth in your community.
Market analysis doesn't end when your service is first implemented. It should be used regularly as an ongoing component of your program's operation and administration and should always be performed when an expansion of services is being considered.

TEMPE -- The Arizona State University football team returns home this weekend to take on the USC Trojans on Saturday, Sept. 28 at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Ariz. The game is slated for a 7:30 p.m. PT kickoff and will be broadcast live on ESPN2.
The Sun Devil football program is currently in its 101st season of competition in 2013. The Sun Devils are 571-363-24 (.609) all-time and have appeared in 26 bowl games, compiling a 13-12-1 record in such contests. Arizona State kicked off the 2013 campaign with a rout over Sacramento State in a rare Thursday night tilt, knocking off the Hornets 55-0 at Sun Devil Stadium, followed by a dramatic 32-30 victory over No. 20 Wisconsin and dropped their first game of the season to No. 5 Stanford in Palo Alto.

ON THE AIR The MidFirst Bank Sun Devil-IMG Sports Network will carry all 12 of ASU's football games live on its 10-station radio network, including flagship station Sports 620 KTAR AM. Tim Healey (play-by-play) and former Sun Devil quarterback Jeff Van Raaphorst (color analyst) will call the action with Doug Franz reporting from the sidelines. This week's game will be broadcast on 92.3 KTAR FM. Weekly radio coverage begins two hours prior to kickoff with the "Talking Stick Resort Sun Devil Tailgate Show," hosted by Doug Franz. The game will also be broadcast on Sirius Channel 139 and XM Channel 197.
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION Saturday's contest will mark the second game this season that will be broadcast on the ESPN Family of Networks. The Sun Devils will kick off at 7:30 p.m. PT on ESPN with Dave Flemming on the call along side analyst Mike Bellotti. Allison Williams will provide insight from the sidelines.
ON THE TROJANS The Trojans lead the all-time series against Arizona State, 19-10. More notable, USC is 12-1 since 2000 with ASU's lone victory coming in 2011 in a 43-22 rout against USC to end an 11-game losing streak. Prior to this millennium, ASU was 9-7 all-time against USC. The Trojans handled the Sun Devils in Los Angeles last year in a 38-17 rout in the Coliseum. The Trojans enter the game as winners of two straight with victories over Boston College and Utah State. USC enters the weekend having made its mark on the defense side of the ball. The Trojans rank 11th in the country in scoring defense (11.0) and lead the nation in red zone defense (.400), are second in tackles for loss (9.5) and fourth in both total defense (230.5) and sacks (4.00). Both teams will be looking for their first Pac-12 victory of the season as both are 0-1 in conference play coming into the game.
--Marion Grice found the end zone 19 times last year, tying him for third on ASU's all-time single-season touchdown list with Woody Green (1972) behind just Wilford White (22/1950) and Terry Battle (20/1996). His 114 points on the year tied him for fifth on ASU's all-time single season scoring list behind White, Battle and placekickers Thomas Weber and Mike Barth. In his last six games dating back to last season, Grice has found the end zone 14 times (11 rushing, three receiving) and is averaging a TD every 8.5 times he touches the ball this year
--Jaelen Strong is off to one of the best starts for a receiver in school history, amassing 330 yards (110 ypg) on 24 receptions (8.0 rpg) in his first three games in a Sun Devil uniform. A total of 15 of his receptions have gone for first downs while he has also drawn five pass interference penalties against opposing defenses this season.
--In his his last six games dating back to 2012, Taylor Kelly has thrown for 16 touchdowns and three interceptions, completing 135-of-208 off his passes (.649) for 1,724 yards (287.3 ypg). He has amassed an impressive 157.03 quarterback rating during that span.
--Something will have to give this weekend as the Sun Devils come into the contest averaging 469.3 yards per game through three games this season while USC has limited its opponents to an average of 230.5 yards per game in four contests in 2013.
--Another stat to keep an eye on is the tackles for loss category, where ASU has had just 15 plays for a loss this season (25th nationally/5.0 per game) but the Trojans lead the nation with 9.5 tackles for loss per game. On the flip side, ASU is averaging just 5.0 tackles for loss per game on defense (93rd nationally) but the Trojans have given up 25 tackles for loss this season (96th nationally).
--Last season, USC's Marqise Lee torched the Sun Devil secondary for 171 yards on 11 catches and a touchdown. Cornerback Osahon Irabor has arguably been ASU's defensive MVP in the early going of the season and will be looking to shut down the Trojans' biggest weapon on Saturday.
RECAP - ASU v. STANFORD The reigning Pac-12 Champion proved to be a formidable opponent as the Stanford Cardinal (3-0, 1-0 Pac-12) rolled to a 42-28 victory over the Sun Devils, Saturday, in Stanford, Calif. Arizona State (2-1, 0-1 Pac-12) outscored the Cardinal 28-13 in the second half, but it was not enough to overcome a 29-point first-half deficit. Coming out reinvigorated in the second half after Stanford scored 29 of its 42 points in the first half, Arizona State scored its first touchdown of the game on a direct snap (a.k.a pitchfork snap) to running back Marion Grice. Grice carried the ball two yards into the end zone to put the Sun Devils on the board after moving 75 yards down the field in less than two minutes. The Sun Devils would strike again to start the fourth quarter on a 45-yard pass from quarterback Taylor Kelly to Chris Coyle for the tight end's first reception of the day. Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Jaelen Strong, who racked-up a career-high 168 yards and 12 catches in the match-up, narrowed the scoring deficit with a 27-yard touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter. The Cardinal's offense was proficient in the first half, scoring four touchdowns on an average of two and a half minutes per possession. Stanford made the first strike in the game going up 7-0, at the 9:08 minute-mark of the first quarter and continued to click offensively throughout the half.
-Wide receiver Jaelen Strong recorded a career-high 12 receptions for a career-high 168 yards, including a career-long of 30 yards that set up the Devils' first touchdown of the game. His 12 catches are tied for the fifth most in a single game in school history and he is the first Sun Devil with at least 12 catches since Gerell Robinson in 2011 against Boise State.
-Linebacker Chris Young racked up eight tackles in the first half – the most tackles in a single game this season – and finished the game with a new team-high and a career-high 10.
-Running back Marion Grice now has eight touchdowns on the year (six rushing, two receiving), and has amassed 14 touchdowns (11 rushing, three receiving) over the past six games. Grice has racked up 27 touchdowns in 16 career games in an ASU uniform.
- Chris Coyle passed Ron Wetzel for sixth on the school's tight end career receiving yards list with 895 yards and became the seventh tight end in school history to collect 800-plus receiving yards. He also passed Ron Wetzel for fifth on the school's tight end career receptions list with 69. His seven receiving touchdowns are tied with three others for the seventh most in school history
-ASU is 16-12 all-time against Stanford, including 6-8 in Palo Alto (1-6 since 2000)
STRIKE FIRST The Sun Devils have scored first in 13 of the 16 games with Todd Graham at the helm, scoring twice in two of the team's three games thus far, going 2-0 in those contests. The Sun Devils are now 9-4 in the Todd Graham era when getting on the scoreboard first.
STRIKE FAST ASU The quick-hitting offense has become a staple of the Todd Graham-coached Sun Devils, with 72 of ASU's 94 offensive scoring drives under Graham coming in three minutes or less (76.6 percent). There was much of the same against Sacramento State as ASU had seven of their nine scoring drives come in three minutes or less. The two that went longer spanned just 3:24 and 3:54. The other seven came in 2:23 or less with four of those coming in 1:45 or quicker. Oddly enough, ASU survived on longer drives against Wisconsin with just two of its six scoring drives coming under three minutes. ASU had drives of 4:20 and 4:26 against Wisconsin, a feat made notable as the team had just THREE total drives going longer than four minutes last season. That being said, ASU still has maintained a high number of quick scoring drives this season, scoring in three minutes or less on 14 of the team's 19 scoring drives to date, including all four touchdown drives against Stanford.
START STRONG...FINISH STRONG After being outscored 13-0 in the first frame against Stanford, the Sun Devils have now outscored their opposition 162-82 in the first quarter under Todd Graham. Perhaps the more telling statistic, however, is the fact the Sun Devils are 9-0 under Graham when holding their opposition scoreless in the first and have done so in both of the team's wins this season. Outscoring the Cardinal 21-3 in the fourth quarter, ASU has now outscored its opposition by a score of 162-74 in the fourth quarter of games under Graham.
HOLD 'EM BACK ASU prided itself on its aggressive defense last season, forcing 117 tackles for a loss of 497 total yards - a 9.00 TFL per game mark that led the nation. As a whole, ASU had a combined 155 defensive plays that went for a loss or no gain out of 953 offensive plays the opposition ran and if you tack on incomplete passes to the mix, then ASU forced 341 plays that did not result in positive yardage (35.8 percent of opponent's plays from scrimmage). ASU had five tackles for loss against Stanford and eight stops at the line of scrimmage out of 66 offensive plays run by the Badgers (19.7 percent). To date this season, the ASU defense has held offenses to 62 plays (out of 183 by the opposition) that have not earned positive yardage - a 33.9 percentage rate of plays run from the line of scrimmage.
WINNING BY WAY OF TKO (TAYLOR KELLY OFFENSE) After setting career highs in competions, attempts and yards against Wisconsin (29-of-51 for 352 yards), Taylor Kelly one-upped himself against Stanford, going 30-of-56 for 367 yards to reset his career highs in all three categories. Statistically, the team does live and die by Kelly's ball protection, however, as ASU is 1-6 will Kelly as the starter when he throws an interception after the loss to Stanford, compared to an unblemished 9-0 record when he doesn't. Taylor Kelly had completed 130-straight passes without an interception before throwing a pick in the third quarter of the Wisconsin contest. The school record holder in completion percentage and efficiency after last season, Kelly has thrown for 16 touchdowns and three interceptions, completing 135-of-208 off his passes (.649) for 1,724 yards (287.3 ypg) in his last six games. He has amassed an impressive 157.03 quarterback rating during that span. With three consecutive games of throwing for 300 or more passing yards this season, Kelly now has six career games where he has accomplished the feat, moving him into a tie with Danny White for the fourth-most games with 300 or more passing yards. Andrew Walter owns the record at 12 with Rudy Carpenter (11) and Brock Osweiler (7) trailing him.
SECONDARY A PRIMARY Last season, the ASU defense finished the season ranked third nationally in passing defense (167.92) and 10th in passing efficiency defense (105.45), leading the Pac-12 in both. Thus far this season, the secondary hasn't shown many signs of slowing down, having held the opposition to 39-of-71 passing with just three touchdowns to three interceptions and 477 total yards in three games. Putting that into perspective, ASU quarterback Taylor Kelly had matched or bettered those numbers by halftime of the Wisconsin game. ASU currently ranks 17th nationally in passing yards allowed, giving up just 159.0 passing yards per game while allowing an average quarterback efficiency rating thus far of just 116.86.
GRICE, GRICE BABY Marion Grice proved to be one of the top junior college additions in the country last year after leading the team with 19 touchdowns (11 rushing, eight receiving) on the season - tied for the third-highest single season total in school history behind just Wilford White (1950, 22) and Terry Battle (1996, 20) on the all-time list. His 114 points on the year tie for fifth on ASU's all-time single-season points scored list. Grice's knack for finding the end zone became commonplace, as he posted touchdowns on 19 of his 144 offensive touches last year (13.2 percent). His eight receiving touchdowns led the nation for receiving touchdowns by a running back and he finished tied for 14th in the country in total touchdowns. Grice has picked up where he left this season, scoring eight TDs through three games and now has 14 touchdowns (11 rushing, three receiving) over the last six games - averaging a score every 7.9 touches in that span - roughly 13 percent of the time he touches the ball. He currently is fourth in the conference among players with at least 30 touches with a touchdown every 8.5 touches behind Oregon State's Brandin Cooks (TD per 7.1 touches), Oregon's De'Anthony Thomas (TD per 7.5 touches) and Arizona's B.J. Denker (TD per 8.0 touches.) It should be noted, however, that Grice has at least 18 more touches that any of those individuals this season.
FOSTER THE PEOPLE D.J. Foster came to ASU last season as what many considered the "gem" of the Sun Devil recruiting class and he lived up to the hype. Foster was second on the team in all-purpose yardage with 1,026 yards last year (493 on the ground and 533 by air). His ability to make what the ASU coaching staff calls "explosive plays" (rushes of 12 or more yards, receptions of 16 or more yards) helped him stand out amongst an offense full of talented players as he led the team in such plays with 31 total (18 receiving and 13 rushing). Foster has made his mark in the receiving game this season with 19 grabs for 178 yards (9.4 ypc) through three games, ranking second on the team in both cateogries. He has a knack for getting to the first down marker as he is currently third on the team with 11 first downs on 25 touches this season.
#DYNAMICDUO Marion Grice and D.J. Foster are two of just five FBS players that return this season that had both 400 yards on the ground AND through the air last year. and played a large part in a running-back-by-committee approach last season that accounted for a large chunk of ASU's total yardage on the season. The pair combined for 174 of the team's 417 total yards of offense against Stanford (41.7 percent) and thus far this season, Grice and Foster have combined for 505 yards of total offense and eight touchdowns. The 505 yards represents 35.9 percent of ASU's TOTAL yards from scrimmage to date this season. The duo has accounted for 27 of the teams' 68 non-penalty induced first downs this season (39.7 percent).
TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE Grice and Foster return 2,130 combined yards from last season (1,172 rushing, 958 receiving) and 25 touchdowns. Among Pac-12 programs returning dual backs where one back didn't take over 75 percent of the touches between the two, only the Oregon squads return numbers that come close to stacking up. Oregon State returns Storm Woods and Terron Ward, who combined for 1,747 yards (1,355 rushing, 392 receiving) and 19 touchdowns. Oregon, which lost Kenjon Barner to graduation, returns a tandem of De'Anthony Thomas and Byron Marshall, who put up a combined 1,607 yards (1,148 rushing, 459 receiving) and 20 touchdowns.
STRONG IMPRESSION All told, 23 Sun Devils have made their debuts this season, but none are turning as many heads as Jaelen Strong. The junior college transfer leads the team in receptions and yards with 24 grabs for 330 yards (8 rpg/110 ypg) and two touchdowns this season. The performance is impressive considering the fact that some of the more impressive receivers over the past 15 years or so haven't had nearly as much of an impact in their first three games of competition. Derek Hagan, Shaun McDonald, Rudy Carpenter, Chris McGaha, Kyle Williams, Gerrell Robinson did not even glimpse the kind of numbers that Strong is putting up this season. Just as impressive as the high level of performance is his ability to make catches when they count. A total of 15 of his receptions have gone for first downs while he has also drawn five pass interference penalties against opposing defenses, thus playing a role in 21 of ASU's 79 total first downs this season (23.4 percent), easily leading the team in that category. Averaging eight receptions per game, Strong currently ranks 13th nationally in the nation in the category and is 15th nationally in receiving yards per game at 110.0 yards per game. ASU has had just three qide receivers average over 100 yards per game in a season in history with Derek Hagan and Shaun McDonald doing it twice while Gerrell Robinson was the last to do it in 2011.
BETTER SUITED FOR HANDKERCHIEFS The Sun Devils don't give referees much reason to reach for their pockets under Todd Graham. Prior to an off-game against Stanford, ASU had been penalized just four times this year for a grand total of 20 yards. Nine of ASU's least penalized games since 2006 have come under Todd Graham, including two of the three games played this season.
LIGHT 'EM UP ASU had no problem putting points on the scoreboard last season and that resumed in the opener as ASU dropped 55 on the Hornets. ASU is averaging 44.0 points per game over the last four games dating back to last season. ASU's 118 combined points in the last two season openers (ASU defeated NAU 63-6 last season) are the highest in consecutive openers in program history and ASU's 87 points through the first two games were the third most in ASU history behind last year's team (108) and the 94 put up by Dirk Koetter's squad in 2005. ASU finished 2012 with 499 points and the 38.4 points per game ranked ASU 14th nationally in scoring offense. That mark ranks fifth all-time in ASU history in the statistical category and was the most since the 1973 squad that scored 43.2 ppg.
MAKE 'EM PAY ASU put points on the board following all four of Sacramento State's turnovers in the opener, continuing a trend that started last year when the Sun Devil offense put points in the bank on 70.0 of its conversion opportunities and scored 18 touchdowns off of 30 turnovers forced. ASU outscored opponents 139-58 in points off turnovers over the course of last season, despite posting just a middling +6 number in the takeway category. Much of that came by way of the defense, which did an admirable job of limiting opponents following turnovers by the offense. On the season, ASU's opponents scored on just 41.7 percent of their drives following an ASU turnover and scored just seven touchdowns in that span on 24 turnovers. ASU didn't turn the ball over in the opener, and now has a +2 turnover advantage already this season to go with a +10 mark in the points off turnovers category.
THE ALTERNATIVE DEFINITION OF "SCORING DEFENSE" Scoring defense is an official statistic credited to defenses based on how many points they allow per game. The ASU defense worked to re-write that definition with a defense that finds a way to directly lead to point on the board. While there were no defensive scores in the opener, ASU scored 24 of its 55 points off Sacramento State turnovers caused by the defense. Last year, ASU had three interceptions returned for touchdowns on the year (Alden Darby - 70 yards at USC, Anthony Jones - 36 yards vs Oregon and Brandon Magee - 45 yards vs NAU) and one fumble recovery for a touchdown (Junior Onyeali vs Oregon State). The defense also had a blocked punt for a safety, giving the squad a total of 26 direct points. If you add in the points off turnovers that the ASU offense scored, the ASU defense had a hand in 165 of the 499 points (33.1 percent) scored for the Sun Devils last season and continues to look to mimic that effort in 2013.
WINNING THE BATTLE FOR FIELD POSITION The Sun Devils were largely exceptional when it came to starting field position last season, and picked that up again in the opener. The Sun Devils average starting field position, aided largely in part by four Sacramento State turnovers, was their own 43-yard line while holding the Hornets starting field position to an average of their own 25-yard line. The opposite was true against Stanford, with ASU starting, on average, at its own 27-yard line compared to the Cardinal starting at their own 42-yard line on average. Under Todd Graham, ASU has had an average starting yard line of its own 36.8 in 10 victories compared to a starting yard line of the 23.6 for their opponents in such contests. Conversely, in losses the opponents have an average starting field position of the their own 34.5 yard line compared to ASU starting at its own 29.8. Some of this year's credit goes to placekicker Alex Garoutte, who has 14 touchbacks on 22 kickoffs - a 63.6 percent average that is notable as he only averaged a touchback 38.9 percent of the time last season. Last season, ASU posted an average starting spot of their own 33-yard line that ranked 10th in the nation. The Sun Devils also held their opponents to an average starting line of their own 28-yard-line, a total that ranked 24th nationally. The Sun Devils were impressive in turning bad field position into a positive against Wisconsin, having two scoring drives of 90+ yards, an impressive accomplishment as ASU had just two such drives in the entirety of 2012.
MORE ON PENALTIES Todd Graham has had a knack for having some of the most disciplined teams in the nation when it comes to penalty yards. In each of his seven seasons as a head coach, Graham's teams have been consistently ranked among in the top half of the least penalized teams in the country in both yards and penalties per game. In 2012, the Sun Devils finished 10th in fewest penalties (4.23) and eighth in fewest penalty yards per game (34.9). Despite a less than stellar performance in the cateogry against Stanford, ASU still ranks ninth nationally in penalties per game (3.33) and in penalty yards per game (28.33).
A GRAND OPENING ASU's defensive effort in the opener was about as collaborative an effort as any with no player posting more than four tackles while 19 different players logged a tackle. But former walk-on turned scholarship player Grandville Taylor sure picked up where he left off last season, logging four tackles, picking up a fumble recovery and also nabbing his first interception of his career and taking it 67 yards to the two-yard line before being tackled. If a case were to be made for a defensive MVP of the game, Taylor likely wouldn't get a serious look. Taylor backed up the performance with another fumble recovery against WIsconsin and his .67 average per game in the category remains seventh nationally.
GOLD ZONE One area that has seen improvement this season for the Sun Devils is red zone offense, with ASU putting points on the board 88.9 percent of the time against FBS opponents, ranking 39th nationally in the category. Last season, ASU scored just 76.1 percent of the time and ranked a lowly 93rd in the nation against FBS opponents. On the flip side, ASU is allowing its FBS opponents to score 90 percent of the time this season when entering the red zone (ranked 85th nationally), compared to an 80.5 percent figure last season that was 51st in the nation.
AIR RAID In 2012, the Sun Devil offense averaged 32.8 passing attempts per game in games amongst FBS opponents, a tally that ranked 68th nationally. Thus far in 2013 against FBS teams, ASU is averaging 53.5 passing attempts per game - a figure that sits fifth in the country. It could be possible to look at that as a bad statistic and a reflection of a weak running game, but ASU is still averaging nearly 470 yards of total offense per game in three games this season - about 10 yards more than it averaged in 2012.
THE STREAK GROWS Seniors Evan Finkenberg and Osahon Irabor began 2013 as two of the most seasons starters in the Pac-12. Only Oregon State's Michael Philipp (39) has more starts than Finkenberg and Irabor, who each have 36. Irabor's statistic is particularly notable as he has started all 36 of his games consecutively - a mark that paces the Pac-12 Conference ahead of Washington State's John Fullington, who has 34.
A SUTTON IMPACT ASU's consensus All-American, senior Will Sutton had a relatively quiet day against Sacramento State, playing over the ball more than expected in what looked to be part of Todd Graham's renewed emphasis on run defense this season. Even so, Sutton had two tackles and half a tackle for loss in just over a half of play while also recovering a fumble. While quarterback hurries aren't an officially kept stat, a look through the game tape would show Sutton having his nose in more than a couple plays despite the lack of eye-popping numbers. Sutton posted 23.5 tackles for loss last season (fourth-most in ASU history) and 13.0 sacks (fourth in ASU history).
DON'T FORGET BRADFORD With the incredible season posted by Will Sutton last year, it was almost easy to forget the phenomenal year put forth by Carl Bradford. Playing out of the Devilbacker position, Bradford finished the year with 81 tackles (fourth on team), 20.5 tackles for loss (second on team and 10th-most in school history) and 11.5 sacks. His three forced fumbles tied Sutton for most on the team and his two fumble recoveries tied Deveron Carr for the team lead as well. He also added an interception for good measure. Since sacks started being recording in 1978, only four sophomores in Sun Devil history have amassed 10 or more sacks and Bradford's 11.5 were more than all of them - a list that includes Shante Carver (11/1991), Dexter Davis (10.5/2007) and Terrell Suggs (10/2001). Bradford was one of just five FBS players last season to total 80+ tackles, 20+ TFLs AND 10+ sacks on the year. After a quiet opener, Bradford seems to be back in the thick of things, posting 11 tackles in the last two contests with 2.0 coming for loss and one sack in the process.
#DYNAMICDUODEUX Between Bradford and Sutton, the Sun Devils as formidable a defense duo as any in the nation. Only 10 returning FBS players posted 10+ sacks in 2012. Sutton and Bradford are the only teammates on that list. There were a total of 51 FBS teams that had fewer sacks in 2012 than Sutton and Bradford had combined (24.5). Not since 1978 has ASU had a pair of players post 20+ TFLs and 10+ sacks in the same season (Al Harris 22 TFL/19 sacks and Bob Kohrs 20 TFL/14 sacks). As a team, Boston College only had one more TFL in 2012 than Sutton and Bradford had combined (44.0 TFL for Sutton and Bradford). Only 10 returning FBS players posted 10+ sacks in 2012. Sutton and Bradford are the only teammates on that list. 51 FBS teams had fewer sacks in 2012 than Sutton and Bradford had combined (24.5).
NOT PLAYING COY Chris Coyle put up one of the best seasons in tight end history at ASU in 2012. Coyle finished third in the nation in tight end receptions per game with 4.38. His 57 receptions led the Sun Devils and were a new single-season best all-time for ASU tight ends, as did his 696 receiving yards on the year. Coyle finished with five touchdown catches on the year, one shy of the single-season tight end record set by Miller and Joe Petty. Coyle has six catches for 126 yards and two touchdowns to date this season, averaging an incredible 21.0 yards per catch.
NOT IN IRABOR'S HOUSE Defensive back Osahon Irabor was a force last year with 14 passes defensed on the season to lead the team. What's more impressive is that he didn't have a single pass interference called against him all season after having seven called against him in 2011 . The 14 pass breakups in 2012 were the most by a Sun Devil since Justin Tryon had 16 in 2007. Irabor was arguably the defensive player of the game against WIsconsin, leading the team with seven tackles and 2.5 TFLs along with a sack. Irabor current is second on the team with 17 tackles this season and is current sixth among conference defensive backs with 13 solo tackles. He already has 4.0 tackles for loss this season, an impressive statistic considering he had ZERO in the previous two seasons.
INFO-GRAHAM Over his four seasons prior to coming to ASU -- one at Pittsburgh and three at Tulsa -- Todd Graham's teams rushed the ball on at least 53.4 percent of their total plays. In 2008, Tulsa rushed on 61.4 percent of its total plays. The 2012 Sun Devils rushed the ball on 59.1 percent of their total plays. In 2011, ASU rushed 44.5 percent of the time. Over the past seven seasons at Pitt, Tulsa, Rice and now ASU, only one Graham-coached team has ranked outside the top 50 nationally in sacks. In 2011, Pittsburgh averaged 3.31 sacks, which ranked third nationally. The Sun Devils averaged 4.0 sacks per game last year, the second-best mark in the nation. In seven seasons, Graham is 22-20 in true road games. ASU was 3-3 in such games in 2012. In the previous four seasons, ASU was 5-16. In six of the past seven years, Graham's teams have ranked 39th or better nationally in fewest penalty yards per game. In 2008, Tulsa averaged just 37 penalty yards, which ranked 11th in the nation. In 2011, Pitt averaged 39.5, which ranked 18th. The Sun Devils averaged only 34.92 penalty yards per game in 2012 which was good for eighth in the nation.
SCHOLAR-BALLERS The Sun Devil football team has not only showed impressive strides on the field of play, but also in the classroom. The Sun Devils had 51 student-athletes named "Scholar-Ballers" this past season, meaning they earned a 3.0 or higher GPA for the year. That is 21 more student-athletes than the 2010-11 campaign and 13 more than 2011-12.
DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY One of the more impressive numbers the Sun Devils lay claim to this season will be the eight graduates competing on the roster in 2013. Davon Coleman, Chris Coyle, Evan Finkenberg, Alex Garoutte, Osahon Orabor, Kody Koebensky, Shane McCullen and Marlon Pollard will all compete this season with Bachelor degrees in hand as they complete coursework toward their graduate degrees. More impressive, six of those student-athletes were starters or significant reserves in 2012 and will likely play a large role in things this season as well (Coleman, Coyle, Finkenberg, Koebensky, Garoutte and Irabor).

Volleyball Drops Pair, Including Marathon v. Siena, To Close First Weekend
While there were some positive individual performances to build on, the Princeton women's volleyball team did not get the team results it looked for during the final day of the Hofstra Invitational. After a heartbreaking 3-2 loss to Siena, the Tigers fell in four to the host school.
Princeton closed the weekend with a 1-2 record, which included Friday's 3-1 victory over Saint Francis. The Tigers used a furious rally to get within two points of a second win, but Siena held off the charge for a Saturday morning win.
Princeton trailed Siena 2-0 before taking consecutive 25-21 sets and forcing a fifth. Siena went up again, but Princeton fought off four match balls late and ultimately drew a 14-14 tie. Siena bounced back to score the last two points and take the win.
As she did the night before, freshman Kendall Peterkin led Princeton in kills (17), and added 12 digs and four blocks. Two-time first-team All-Ivy honoree Lydia Rudnick added 16 kills and 18 digs, while sophomore middle Nicole Kincade had 15 kills, 10 blocks and only one error.
Sophomore Ginny Willis recorded 53 assists, while freshman libero Sarah Daschbach added 17 digs. Junior Leah Jordan played all five sets in the middle and had eight kills without an error.
Head coach Sabrina King was able to use most of her bench in the loss to Hofstra, though the same three players led Princeton in kills. Rudnick had a team-best 16, while Peterkin added 12 and Kincade had 11. The trio combined for 39 of Princeton's 47 kills in the win.
The performance of Kincade had to be especially pleasing to King, since Princeton's top middle hitter for the last three years (Cathryn Quinn) graduated last spring. Kincade hit .419 for the weekend and averaged 2.8 kills per set.
Peterkin also had an especially strong first weekend, and was named to the all-tournament team.
Willis added 45 assists against Hofstra, while Daschbach had 12 digs.
Princeton will head to Hamilton, N.Y., next weekend to compete in the Colgate Invitational.

One of the best ways to maintain a healthy weight, help lose weight and keep it off, is to simply eat a good breakfast (did you know that people who skip breakfast often end up weighing more?). That's because besides building muscle and bones, a protein-packed, nutrient-dense breakfast can help you to stay full and satisfied so you won't feel hungry by mid-morning, which in turn will help you to stick to your weight-management or weight-loss plan.
Milk is a perfect complement breakfast complement (packed with nine nutrient essentials and eight grams of high-quality protein), yet more than 8 out of 10 Americans still fall short of the recommended milk servings each day.
To cut even more fat and calories, go for fat-free, low-fat or 2% reduced-fat milk (the 2% reduced-fat milk is absolutely delicious; you'll still get the taste of fresh milk without that weird intensity that many can't tolerate, but in a "cleaner" version).
For more breakfast tips (including recipes), check out www.thebreakfastproject.com.
Many nutrition experts advocate entirely cutting out "junk" food, soft drinks, a lot of meat and even certain kinds of condiments. But it's not easy: Many of us were raised on "unhealthy" fare and even if you're a vegetarian or just trying to eat healthier, there may be times when you really crave a cheeseburger or some potato chips-or the mayonnaise you're not supposed to eat on your sandwich.
I would recommend eating these things sparingly, or finding a low-calorie version: You'll have the best of both worlds. You won't feel deprived from your favorite snacks (and therefore possibly go on a "binge") thus enabling you to stick with or maintain the healthy stuff. For example, Friday and Saturday evenings is my designated "fall off the wagon" time (this also gives me something to look forward to on weekends!).
Additional Info
Here's the maximum recommended refrigeration storage time for certain foods:
Beef-3-5 days
Hot dogs-1 week
Butter-2 weeks
Ground meat-1-2 days
Canned goods-1 year
Milk-1 week
Cereal-2-3 months
Pasta-2 years
Cheese-1-3 weeks
Poultry-1-2 days
Eggs-1-2 weeks
Rice-2 years
Fish-1 day
Please Note: These are recommended guidelines. As many of you know, food is often in the fridge for a much longer time. I would personally try the smell test; if something's "funny" or "off", pitch it (don't wait until it actually starts to deteriorate)!
To find out how many calories it takes to maintain your current weight, multiply your weight by 15.
As a world commodity, coffee is second only to crude oil.
If you're traveling, one crucial thing to do on your checklist is to empty the fridge and turn it on low.
If you burn your mouth when eating spicy foods, instead of reaching for water, eat something sweet!
According to Marilyn vos Savant of "Ask Marilyn", hard water is the version to drink, while soft water is desired for washing things.
That's because hard water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are essential to the human diet (naturally healthy components of water).
Naturally soft water has little or no mineral content (for example, rainwater). Water softening is removing the minerals in water by artificial means, this process will make the water salty, which in turn may render it unsuitable for drinking or even for watering plants (You'll end up with sodium ions instead of calcium and magnesium).

For Immediate Release
June 12, 2014
Passage of Measure A assures more access by the public
San Rafael, CA – Following the recent passage of parcel tax renewal, the Fairfax Branch Library will be open from noon to 5 p.m. Fridays starting June 13.
"We're very excited about being able to expand our hours," said Margaret Miles, Fairfax branch manager. "Our library patrons love the services we provide, and we received very positive and high approval ratings in a recent in-house survey. The most common request we saw was for more open hours."
Measure A, the nine-year renewal of the Marin County Free Library's $49 parcel tax, passed with voter support of 78 percent during the June 3 primary election. In Fairfax, support was closer to 85 percent, higher than it was in 2010 when Measure A was introduced.
The funding will maintain library hours, provide children, teen, senior and disabled programs including public education support, maintain books and digital collections, enhance library facilities and accessibility for people with physical challenge, and ensure that local funding can't be taken by the state government. The parcel tax has an annual Consumer Price Index adjustment and includes independent citizen oversight and senior citizen exemptions.
The library will have an open house June 27 to thank the community for its support. Residents can meet the staff, enjoy cookies and lemonade, and view the improvements made to the lobby, the magazine area and the children's area.
"We're very grateful that Marin residents appreciate their libraries and are willing to support them," Miles said.

If your taste in décor runs toward the whimsical, if your idea of a great kitchen is a lighthearted room, you might want to take a look at the Toast Clock ($25). We're not sure why it made us smile, but it did. We could never accuse the girl who hangs this in her kitchen of being a stick-in-the-mud.

We've got one thing on our mind this spring and that's meetin' us some boys. We heard from makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff that wearing Apothia IF Eau de Parfum ($85) is a surefire way to accomplish that goal. So we bought both the 50ml and the sample size of this white flower and grapefruit scent-o-rama in the name of desperation and good faith. Because Lord help us, we will not be single next Valentine's Day.

Cheney man was there when Coast Guard crew sank a recently rediscovered German U-boat in World War II
By BECKY THOMAS
Staff Reporter
Last month divers discovered the remains of a German U-boat off Nantucket Island, Mass. that was sunk by U.S. ships in April 1944.
Last week on the other side of the country, Bill Smith sat in his Cheney home recalling exactly how the submarine ended up at the bottom of the Atlantic. It took nearly 70 years to find the remains of the U-boat, but the battle that sunk it was over in a few hours.
On April 16, 1944 Smith was 17 years old, an apprentice electrici...

BBC says it is under cyber attack from Iran
Persian news targeted
BRITISH BROADCASTER The BBC is claiming to be under a cyber attack directed from Iran.
The organisation said that the "sophisticated cyber-attack" could be aimed at shutting down its BBC Persian Service, and BBC director general Mark Thompson is calling the attack "suspicious".
The BBC reports that Thompson will give a speech at the Royal Television Society in which he will say, "We regard the coincidence of these different attacks as self-evidently suspicious," and tell those in attendance that Iran might also behind attempts to jam phone lines at the organisation.
"I don't want to go into any more detail about these incidents except to say that we are taking every step we can, as we always do, to ensure that this vital service continues to reach the people who need it," he will add.
Iran came up as one of Reporters Without Borders' Enemies of the Internet, for its anti-freedom activities, and this is not the first time that it has troubled Thompson enough to comment.
Earlier this month he complained about attacks on journalists in a BBC blog, saying that they deal with "relentless pressure".
"In recent months, we have witnessed increased levels of intimidation alongside disturbing new tactics. This includes an attempt to put pressure on those who work for BBC Persian outside Iran, by targeting family members who still live inside the country," he wrote.
"We remain extremely concerned about these actions by the Iranian authorities and the latest case only serves to underline this." µ

Re: 'Northern Gateway may bring us great prosperity' ( Your Letters, Dec. 15)
The letter by A. Sundvall, in which he celebrates the vision in regards to the Enbridge pipeline, paints a simple and fairytale-like picture of the whole process.
The letter is incredulous about opposition to the "Northern Gateway" hearings before they are completed. He assumes that the final results of the committee meetings are still to be determined. His faith in this government's "balanced," "reasoned," and scientifically-based evidence is naive at best.
From the beginning of the discussions, the Harper government has made it very plain that the path ahead was self-evident, and that anyone who disagreed was either misinformed or delusional. Their concerted attacks on various environmental organizations, including the threat of tax audits, negates any claim of a balanced approach.
Also, the passage of the huge omnibus bills, containing devastating cuts to government oversight and environmental protections, leaves no doubt as to the disdain to which the Conservatives hold the scientific community.
There are options to fossil fuels, and the hugely detrimental carbons they create.
There are options which eventually will encourage a new and sustainable basis for our economy.
These different avenues would take some time to develop, but one must begin by acknowledging that there is a sign ahead which ominously reads, "Dead End. Ignore At Your Peril."

How does laughter make you healthier?
Ok, this is the first article! I know, I know… It's first article and you probably don't expect much, but just read this! 😀
Friends who have a great sense of humor is always a pleasure to have, they not only keep you laughing but also healthy. Laughing is much more contagious when compared to a sneeze or a yawn. Watch all the super funny movies, stand up comedians, TV shows that keep you laughing until your stomach hurts.
Laughing keeps you healthy and here's how,
- Less Blood Pressure: Laughter keeps your blood vessels flowing with ease, thus reducing blood pressure and the risk of stroke
- Stress hormones: Reduces the stress hormone production, keeping you less stressed and anxious. Take a break from your work for a couple of minutes, read a funny joke and share with your colleagues and ensure a stress free work environment
- Ab workout: Laughing works similar to an ab workout, it contracts and expands the muscles in your stomach. During which the other muscles relax from the strain they have been in. Make your ab work enjoyable and fun.
- Improves your heart: This is also a cardio workout, a perfect physical activity for people who cannot exercise due to an injury or illness. It gets your heart pumping and burns a similar amount of calories per hour as walking at a slow to moderate pace. So, laugh your heart into health.
- Boosts immunity: Laughing helps in boosting your T cells, that are specialized immune system cells waiting in your body for activation. Stay immune by laughing through all your illness and helping your T cells get activated and charged.
- Pain Free: Endorphins are released when you are laughing, they are our body's natural painkillers. They will even help in easing chronic pain and relax your body
- Social additives: You will notice friends or couples who tend to have more have a stronger relationship. This also is an attractive feature in an individual, I mean his/her sense of humor. A team with a couple of good humored folks will enhance the teamwork and achieve success.
- Strengthens you emotionally: Laughing helps you build your courage and strength and give you a new sense of hope. Helps you become an optimist, keeps you far away from sadness, disappointments and loss. Changes your perspective by allowing you to see situations in a more practical and logical way than treating it as a threat.
Laugh away your worries, sorrows, illness, disappointments and look at your life in a more positive way. Build your social circles, increase the number of friends and impress your spouse by working your humor skills. Start with a smile and you will be amazed at where you will land.
And this is for your laughter:

Ice fishing tournament this weekend
The Nicholson Masonic Lodge No. 438 will be hosting its fourth annual Ice Fishing Tournament at Lackawanna State Park on Saturday, Feb. 22.
The event first started in 2010 with 80 attendees and has increased each year.
Registration for ice fishing begins at 7 a.m. at the main boat launch. The entry fee for adults is $10 and children 12-under are free admission. The tournament will run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Cash prizes will be awarded for the heaviest largemouth bass (at least 15 inches), pickerel (at least 18 inches) and crappie (no minimum size).
All fish must be legal size and short fish will be disqualified. Prize money will be determined by the number of entries. All fish must be brought to the weigh-in area by 2 p.m. and the heaviest fish weight will determine the winner in each class of fish.
Anglers must have a valid Pa. fishing license and all fishing laws will be enforced at the tournament.
Last year's event brought in 130 anglers and raised $780 for the Shriner's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. Cash prizes totalling $240 and 20 trophies were awarded to the winning anglers.
Last year's winners Randy Sevinski reeled in a large mouth bass weighing in at 3 pounds 14 ounces, and A.J Santarsiero in the children's division hauled in an 8 pound 8 ounce pickerel, only to be bested by Ray Buckingham in the adult division with an 8 pound 11 ounce 28 inch pickerel.
This year's event will be held in conjunction with Lackawanna State Park Winterfest.
Other activities during Winterfest, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., include kid's winter crafts, horse and wagon rides and sled dog demos. Patrons should meet at the Environmental Learning Center for more information on the locations of daily events.
Event chairman Eric Krisa is hoping for yet another great showing on the ice.
"This is a great family day on the ice," Krisa said. "Conditions are looking good for the tournament."
Krisa would also like to personally thank all anglers who come out and support the tournament.
For more information about the tournament, please call Krisa at 570-563-2027 or co-chairman Frank Hares at 570-945-3720.

Britain's wildlife is sending out a clear message about the seriousness of climate change as its life cycles are thrown into confusion, often with fatal results.
Across the country mammals, reptiles, birds and insects have been prompted by the very mild winter, so far the second mildest on record, into emerging from shelter and starting their breeding seasons long before they should.
As a result they are getting caught out when the weather turns cold again, or just as harmfully, wet - and the young of many species are dying. Baby hedgehogs, baby squirrels, even baby grass snakes are being found in distressed conditions in many places.
The disturbing trend is emerging as climate change once again moves to the political centre stage.
The Government's long-awaited climate change bill will be published next week, Environment Minister Lord Rooker announced yesterday.
Delays in the preparation of the bill have led to questions being asked about the Government's commitment to tackling global warming.
Opposition parties fear that the Government's proposals will not be specific enough, and have pressed for annual targets in carbon dioxide reductions.
But next week Environment Secretary David Miliband will issue an undertaking to cut Britain's carbon output by between 15 and 25 million tonnes by the year 2020.
The visible impact on Britain's wildlife has manifested itself in the form of earlier-than-normal breeding, egg-laying, nesting and flowering of plants and trees, observed in British wildlife for over 15 years and now linked to global warming in a whole series of scientific studies.
They have sparked huge new interest in the discipline of phenology - the timing of natural events.
But until now the changes have been seen as potentially harmful in the future, rather than actually hitting present-day creatures.
That situation seems to have changed this winter. One place with a remarkable overview of it is the St Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, which has been receiving a stream of young creatures suffering from the entirely new ailment of being born at the wrong time.
Baby rabbits born weeks too early, found wet and shivering by the roadside and infant grass snakes whose parents should not even have emerged from hibernation until later this month have all recently been brought into the hospital.
A typical inhabitant is Bushy, as he has been named by staff, a 10-day-old grey squirrel, still blind, about 10cm long and utterly helpless. He is being bottle fed and even needs a human being to help his bladder work, a job normally done by his mother, from whom he was separated when their nest was disturbed by tree cutters.
And just like a huge polar bear trapped on a melting ice flow or a whale confused by suddenly warm currents, Bushy has become the latest symbol of global warming.
It was not the fault of Bushy or his parents that, roused from their slumbers by the mild weather since Christmas, they did what all animals do when they sense spring coming on, to ensure the procreation of their species. They should just have postponed matters for a few weeks.
"He really should not be here. He was born two or three weeks before he should have been," says Les Stocker, founder of Tiggywinkles.
Bushy, who is likely to spend the rest of his life at Tiggywinkles, near Aylesbury, is only one of many animals to arrive at the hospital over the past few weeks because their life cycles have been thrown into potentially fatal confusion.
"This is the busiest year we have had for these kind of animals being brought in," said Stocker. "The animals are becoming active and mating earlier than normal, but you can still get sudden cold snaps."
Cold weather can either simply kill some young animals or prompt others back into hibernation, from which they do not wake because they lack sufficient fat reserves. Most of the animals will not be released back into the wild until later in the spring when the weather is more reliable.
The arrivals at Tiggywinkles are not just confined to those being born early. Toads and newts that should still be under a rock somewhere, and pipestrelle bats which are normally still hibernating in hollow trees and barns, have all been found. They need care because there aren't enough insects around for them to survive on.
Some baby birds have been brought into the hospital - a blackbird and two ducklings. All are vulnerable to sudden cold spells.
"Ducklings before Christmas is just crazy," says Lisa Frost, the research manager. "But you can see all the signs of nest building going on already."
Worst hit are the hedgehogs, a creature which has increasingly found its way into the nation's affections ever since Beatrix Potter created the house-proud hedgehog Mrs Tiggy-Winkle.
When the hospital was founded in the 1970s, she was chosen as its namesake, although it has always treated all animals.
Tiggywinkles has dozens of hedgehogs being kept in banks of special cages. Normally, Tiggywinkles would only see only a handful of hedgehogs in the January-March period. This year they have had more than 80, on top of the 500 they had in the two months before Christmas, itself a 40 per cent increase.
The global impact
* Birds: Migratory and breeding patterns have been thrown into confusion across Europe. Chiff-chaffs are remaining in the United Kingdom throughout the year rather than migrating south.
* Fish: Fish such as red mullet, once found only off Britain's southerly coastline, are now steadily being spotted further north, including the west coast of Scotland. Warm-water species such as tuna are being increasingly found by Cornish fishermen.
* Turtles: Breeding grounds on beaches in the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean are under threat from rising sea levels. Water temperature affects the sex ratio, so warmer seas could mean some species becoming entirely female.
* Butterflies: One study reports two-thirds of European butterflies have shifted their habitats north by between 30 and 240 kilometres.
* Polar bears: Their habitat of Arctic sea ice is melting away, while seals, their natural prey, are believed to be at risk from a decline in fish stocks. Polar bears are now thinner than 20 years ago.

"It is hard to imagine...a documentary this season that is more important to the civic life of the nation--let alone one that is so compelling and ultimately moving." Baltimore Sun The documentary film "Hacking Democracy", originally broadcast on HBO, has been released on DVD. The film takes a nonpartisan, clear-eyed look at the secrecy, cronyism, and incompetence of elections in present-day America as it captures a citizen's movement intent on taking back elections--and democracy itself. For me personally, I know that talking to legislators who have seen this movie is like night and day compared to those who haven't seen it. The film definitely makes the "light bulb" go on as far as the vulnerability of electronic voting systems. I wish I could afford to send a copy to every legislator in the U.S. Christine Jennings (Florida CD-13 contested race) has said, for example, that she has seen the movie twice. A local candidate in Volusia County who saw the film demanded a ballot inspection of her race (full manual recounts aren't allowed in Florida) and did public records requests to our supervisor of elections to get information on the memory cards used, something a typical candidate would normally not think of doing. The DVD, available at HackingDemocracy.com, contains "extra" segements not included in the original film, including great footage from Riverside California (Michelle Townsend); Cuyahoga County, Ohio; Volusia County, Florida; Glades County, Florida; and more.
On the website, you can also see fascinating TV footage of the trial and sentencing of the Ohio election workers in Cuyahoga County. Russ Michaels, one of the directors and producers of "Hacking Democracy," says the website will be adding more footage all the time from their vast store of film segments from elections around the country.

You can't duck the issue: Valentine's Day (VD as known in certain circles) is coming.
Forget flowers. Chuck chocolates. Dump dinner.
Dip into Swan Lake.
Unless you are truly void of culture, you know the opera/story/play/films/music. It's also ranked among the most iconic classical ballets of all time, so it's easy to understand why Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre presents the love story with the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Orchestra over Valentine's Day weekend at the Benedum Center. There will be five performances, February 13-16.
A reminder: Swan Lake symbolizes more than 100 years of tradition and some of the most revered roles in classical ballet. In a performance of emotional intensity and technical mastery, the ballerina portrays both eternal love and deception in the coveted dual role of the Swan Queen, Odette, and her dark (think evil, not African-American) twin, Odile.
Since its 1877 premiere at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, ballet companies all over the world have developed their own interpretations of the traditionally four-act ballet and its dramatic ending. The ballet is set to one of Tchaikovsky's most memorable masterworks–and his first original ballet composition–featuring the evocative Swan theme.
Swan Lake tells the story of a young village girl trapped in a curse by the evil sorcerer Von Rothbart. Bound by day as the Queen of the Swans, she returns to her human form only after nightfall, when she first encounters Prince Siegfried near the enchanted lake during a hunting expedition. Prince Siegfried soon falls in love with the beautiful Odette, but can only set her free by pledging his eternal love and fidelity. In order to thwart the lovers, Von Rothbart transforms his daughter Odile into the dark double of Odette to deceive Prince Siegfried at the royal ball. Performed by the same dancer, the character of Odette/Odile demands great technical and emotional range to morph from the pureness and fragility of Odette to the darkness and deception of Odile.
Ranging from the ornamentation of the court to the lyricism of the Swan scenes, the choreography of Swan Lake especially showcases the technical prowess of the ballerina through virtuosity of the Swan Queen, the intricate variations of the Cygnets and the lyrical unification of the corps de ballet.
Swan Lake features its own signature movement vocabulary, such as the undulating port de bras of the White Swan and the Black Swan's famous 32 fouettés–consecutive quick turns considered to be one of the highest feats of virtuosity, stamina and strength demanded of a ballerina. The expressive choreography of the Swan Scenes sets one of ballet's highest standards for the corps de ballet, which moves as one entity with lyrical movements that create images of a swan's wings, necks and mannerisms.
Think of your graceful exit aftr Act Four.
Tickets begin at $25.75, and can be purchased at pbt.org or by calling 412-456-6666.
Valentine's idea: Forget flowers and try Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's Swan Lake
You can't duck the issue: Valentine's Day (VD as known in certain circles) is coming.

Disease Proof
Shape Magazine on Fitness Myths
Deputy Editor of Shape Magazine Janet Lee takes some time to debunk fitness myths. Here's a couple from The CBS Early Show:
Now, here are fitness tips you can trust. Dr. Fuhrman serves up some back strengthening exercises. Check it out:<
MYTH: CRUNCHES WILL GET RID OF YOUR POT BELLY. AND/OR YOU CAN ISOLATE YOUR "LOWER ABS"That's why I run, run, run! Oh, if you like video better. Check this out:
TRUTH: Crunches won't get rid of body fat. You have to do cardio to do that. Crunches will firm up the underlying muscles, though. Also, there is no such thing as "lower abs." The six-pack you're going for is actually one long muscle, called the rectus abdominis, that extends from below your chest to your pubic bone. To work your abs, you should do exercises to target all four muscles: the rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques and the transverse abdominis.Getting a six pack is more about genetics first and percentage of body fat second. To try to get there, do a range of moves that target your entire midsection (all 4 muscles in the abs) and do cardio to burn fat.
TRUTH: Muscle doesn't turn to fat-ever! Some people that are very muscular and stop working out without changing their diet may put on fat though and their muscles will lose tone after 4 to 8 weeks. If you have a to take a gym break, try to work in activity in other ways (walk more, take the stairs, etc.) and cut back on what you're eating. Muscle and fat are different types of tissue, and one can't morph into the other. What can happen when you stop exercising is that you put on fat, so those once-flat abs will turn distinctly flabbier. Also, when you don't use muscle it starts to atrophy, so it's not as firm as it was.
Now, here are fitness tips you can trust. Dr. Fuhrman serves up some back strengthening exercises. Check it out:<
- Seated cable row: With knees slightly bent, lean forward, then pull the handles back to your chest with elbows wide as your back comes to vertical.
- Wide cable pull downs: Pull down the cable to your chest with elbows wide as you lean back to a sixty-degree angle.
- Back extensions: Lean over exercise ball, and arch your back up like a reverse sit up, or use a back extension chair made for this exercise.
- Superman: While lying on your stomach, lift trunk and legs up off the ground like a bow.
- Alternate Superman: Use alternate arm and leg to perform the superman.

The superman & alternate superman are killers if held for any length of time. They are both part of my core strength routine, as well as the back extensions you mentioned. As for gym stuff, ever try the "Hammer Row"? That one is my favourite (although, i can only do about 50 lbs each arm) :-D

Hey Lilly-
I've done hammer row before, not my favorite exercise. I do anywhere from 175 to 200 pounds.

I think warrior 3 is one legged with arms out front like what somepeople call airplane. Superman and alternate superman are yoga poses- can't think of the name right now.

Checked my book superman is closest to locust pose. We do it in body flow class but they don't give it a name.
