His daughter's mission
Father suffered from Lewy body, PTSD

Hubbard, a Waterbury native, was often convinced the Viet Cong were hiding in the trees of his yard. Such episodes had haunted him since he came home in 1971 — but they became more intense and frequent in the two years before he died in March. Hubbard was 61.
In addition to suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, Hubbard had Lewy body dementia. Although it is a disease unknown to many, Lewy body dementia affects 1.3 million people in the U.S. — and is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's.
The disease is named after the scientist who discovered it and involves abnormal round structures called Lewy bodies, which develop in regions of the brain that control thinking and movement. It causes a progressive decline in mental abilities and can also include visual hallucinations, fluctuations in alertness and physical symptoms often seen in Parkinson's disease such as tremors and rigid muscles.
Because Lewy body can closely resemble Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, it is often misdiagnosed. Hubbard's daughter, Kristie Lanese of Watertown, wants that to change.
Lanese's mission is twofold: raise awareness about Lewy body and PTSD.
"My father lived and died for his country," said Lanese, who is 32 and the mother of two toddlers. "And so many soldiers are coming home right now with PTSD. It is better now, getting services for them, but I don't want them to go through what my father did."
As for Lewy body, Lanese calls it an "evil, ugly disease."
Hubbard started showing signs of dementia around 2009, but he wasn't diagnosed with Lewy body until October 2011. He died five months later. First, his doctors thought he had Parkinson's. Then, they chalked it up to his PTSD, which wasn't addressed until Hubbard reached his 40s. Next, doctors thought it was Parkinson's.
A self-described "daddy's girl," Hubbard was the center of Lanese's world. Growing up, she didn't know much about what he went through in Vietnam. But she got a sense when she was in grammar school and soldiers were returning home from the Gulf War.
"My dad was really happy they were coming home. He always loved the troops. But he said to me, 'They are getting a parade. I didn't get that,'" she said.
Hubbard enlisted in the Marines when he was 17. He served two tours between 1967 and 1971. He was missing in action for one year. He performed special ops missions. Twice, a helicopter he was in was shot down. Due to the trauma, he never again rode on an airplane.
Medical professionals later told his family, given all he'd gone through, "that they were amazed he started a family and didn't turn to drugs or alcohol," Lanese said.
Hubbard stuffed the pain down deep and tried to move on with his life, said his sister Sheila Murray, who lives in Florida.
"He had phenomenal mind control," she said. "But when he was sleeping, he didn't have that control. He wouldn't talk about the war, all we knew was from what we overheard him telling those who he was extremely close with."
When Hubbard returned from Vietnam, he became a loner. He no longer fit in with his old friends, and he didn't want to spend time with other veterans, Murray said.
Meeting Linda DeLorenzo, also from Waterbury, changed things.
"She was the answer to his prayers. When they met, it was such a beautiful thing," Murray said. "His feet didn't touch the ground. He was a good looking kid and had girls chasing him, but he walked to the beat of a different tune and to meet someone who took his breath away was just so wonderful."
He and Linda married in 1974. He confided in her, but not enough so that she understood how much the war affected him. But there were episodes over the years — nightmares he had to be shaken out of, and a dislike of crowds, fireworks, children crying, and palm trees, which reminded him of the tropics.
They had three children. Hubbard worked on the delivery docks at the U.S. Post Office on Grand Street in Waterbury. As his PTSD symptoms became more frequent, he reluctantly visited the VA Hospital in West Haven in 1996 and was admitted for a full work-up. Around that time, he suffered a stroke. The left side of his body was paralyzed, but he eventually regained most motion and got around with a cane. He went on disability.
In 2001, he and Linda moved to South Carolina. The next year, their first grandchild, who lived nearby, was born. Hubbard cherished being a grandfather. Around 2009, his behavior had turned peculiar. He would go for a short walk and come back winded, saying he'd just covered 25 miles. He looked at his wife one morning over coffee and asked who she was, then became suspicious when she seemed to know too much about him.
He began to shuffle when he walked. His wife remembers hearing him slam cabinets in the bathroom one morning. She thought he was looking for his favorite shampoo, but he was searching for a way out. He had always worn his blond hair on the longer side, but he grew it out Willie Nelson-style so that if he got lost, someone would recognize him. He kept a salt-and-pepper beard and mustache because his tremors made shaving too difficult.
Lanese and her mother never thought he fit the Alzheimer's mold, but they saw signs of Parkinson's, and believed that was more likely since he was exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam, which has been linked to the degenerative brain disorder. Once doctors came up with Lewy body and Hubbard's wife read about it, she was convinced that's what he had.
"A doctor told me, 'If it were you or I who had this disease, we would have died a long time ago, but your dad is fighting for his life. He thinks he's in Vietnam,'" Lanese said.
Whether the PTSD and Lewy body were somehow related is unclear. Dr. Carol Lippa of Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia, said she knows of no link between PTSD and Lewy body, but head trauma is associated with neuro-degenerative diseases in general.
Dr. James E. Galvin, director of clinical operations at the Center on Brain Aging at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York, said many healthcare providers are not even aware Lewy body exists. Even if they know it, they might have a hard time recognizing it, he said. Plus, with Hubbard, many of his symptoms were chalked up to PTSD.
Lewy body, Galvin said, is about two decades behind Alzheimer's disease when it comes to research and awareness.
"And with Alzheimer's, the reason people know so much about it is because Ronald Reagan had it," said Galvin.
He hopes that a TV show on Starz starring Kelsey Grammer as a mayor who has Lewy body, might help raise more awareness.
About Lewy body dementia
What is it: Lewy body dementia is a progressive dementia that impairs mental abilities and independent function because of abnormal microscopic deposits that damage brain cells over time.
LBD is an umbrella term for two related diagnoses: Parkinson's disease dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies. The earliest symptoms of these two diseases differ, but reflect the same underlying biological changes in the brain. Over time, people with both diagnoses will develop very similar cognitive, physical, sleep and behavioral symptoms.
The name: In the early 1900s, a scientist named Friederich H. Lewy was researching Parkinson's disease when he discovered abnormal protein deposits that disrupt the brain's functioning, including disruption of perception, thinking and behavior. Lewy body dementia can exist in its pure form, or in conjunction with other brain changes, including those typically seen with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Symptoms: The most common ones include dementia; hallucinations; unpredictable changes in attention and concentration; Parkinson's-like rigidity, stiffness, slow movement and tremors; and a sleep disorder where people seemingly act out their dream s.
Risk factors: Advanced age is considered the greatest risk factor, with onset typically beginning between ages 50 and 85. Having a family member with the disease may increase risk.

CONCORD -- A polite Eagle Scout off the field, Sumner Houston transforms when he puts on football pads.
The three-year starter brought energy, physicality and toughness while anchoring De La Salle's dominant defensive line. The senior, headed for Oregon State, also played left tackle on offense but made his biggest impact on defense.
At least that is what De La Salle's opponents probably would tell you after being flattened by the 6-foot-3, 260-pound defensive tackle all season.
The leader of the best defensive unit in the area, Houston is the East Bay Defensive Player of the Year.
"He does everything the right way, but he will hit you," De La Salle defensive coordinator Terry Eidson said.
The Spartans had a loaded defense that helped them reach their fifth consecutive CIF Open Division state title game.
"But Sumner was the linchpin," De La Salle coach Justin Alumbaugh said.
Houston finished with eight sacks, 59 tackles and 14 tackles for a loss in a 14-1 season for the Spartans and also earned East Bay Athletic League MVP honors, a rarity for a lineman. He made an impact as co-captain, rallying his teammates with his intensity and his work ethic.
"He's always bringing a lot of passion to the game," De La Salle quarterback Chris Williams said. "He's always ready to again and again and again. Then when everyone is done he wants to do more, more, more. Lift more, more, more. He works hard."
"He's a grinder," Eidson said. "He's at it every day working, whether it's on the field, in our conditioning, in the weight room. He's a kid that's going to give maximum effort at all times."
With his nonstop motor, Houston has been compared to former De La Salle star Dylan Wynn, who is now an impact defensive end at Oregon State. Houston said he models his on-the-field attitude after his future teammate.
"I had to carry on the craziness, the intensity, the physicality," Houston said. "Everything that Dylan started, I have to bring that to the table every game."
Houston, the younger brother of former DLS quarterback Bart Houston, rarely got a break during the playoffs as a two-way starter.
"He's tough as nails, what I like to call 'old school tough,' " Eidson said. "There are not a lot of kids around anymore that have that kind of toughness and determination."

In my last article I talked about how interest leads people to program. Then life rose up behind me like a giant Doberman pincer and bit me on my backside; so, I didn't think of programming for over four months. However, just this week something happened that made me want to program again.
I was preparing to teach some students how to use dichotomous keys to identify organisms. Suddenly, while I was staring at a simple teaching key for identifying fruit, my eyes glazed over and I had a moment of clarity. I realized that I was looking at the basis of a very simple program.
It was a list of rules. Simple statements that said, "If this go here, if not go there." In the back of my mind I could see the "either/or" options and the "goto" statements of my coding past, and I knew in my heart that I must make this key into a program!
My problem was that despite my forays into programming, I still didn't know how to program in Python, and I was afraid that if I opened another one of those long tutorials, I'd be asleep before writing my first line of code.
Luckily, I had another option. I grabbed my captive python programmer, read husband, and said "Help me make this program now!"
I saw a need. I had an interest. I had the ability.
Now you may wonder why a simple key could create such a desire in my heart, but it's a simple case of convergence. I saw a need. I had an interest. I had the ability. I knew from experience that when opportunities converge, one must seize the day, and I did. My husband dictated to me how to write the program, and I typed in the commands. We wrote a simple command line program that asks questions and comes up with a result.
I can hear you "poo poo"ing even from here. "He wrote the program, not you!" You say. That is indeed true, but that's how we learn anything isn't it? The first time you write your name on a sheet of paper, it is likely that someone is holding your hand, guiding you to form the correct letters. In the same way my husband sat over my shoulder and told me what to type.
What comes next?
I will try my own hand, shaping programs clumsily like a child trying to form the letter A alone for the first time. It will take patience and a lot of practice, but eventually I will write a program on my own.
And now I understand what I have been missing. I've been missing a teacher. Someone who will sit behind me and help me with my first programs? Abraham Lincoln may have been able to teach himself law by reading textbooks alone, but for most people I think that having someone nearby to help you when you are starting out is essential. The programming world is so full of posturing and bragging that a newbie like me is afraid to ask stupid questions. Where can a new programmer go to have someone hold their hand?
Where can a new programmer go to have someone hold their hand?
And so I ask you gentile reader, tell me, where did you first learn to program? Was it a class? Was it a friend or relative? Or did you learn programming first from a book, and if so, which one? Did you have a place where you felt comfortable asking beginning questions.
How did you first learn to program? Please tell me. I want to know.
Where to go
"Where can a new programmer go to have someone hold their hand?"
My advice to a learner (and I wish it had been the way I'd got started) would be to get a copy of GNU Emacs and hang out in #emacs on the freenode IRC network. Emacs, apart from being an Aladdin's Cave of useful and fun stuff, is enchanted: you won't need to 'learn' programming and you'll never get bored or lack a source of motivation - it'll just happen naturally :)
I guess I was extremely lucky in life. When PC's were fledglings, during my stint in the US Navy, an ex-IBM programmer came to our department. 3 years later a large core of us left very computer literate and fairly tech savvy.
So, literally, yes, someone held our hands during the learning process.
We all actually learn more by doing, and often the most painful mistakes teach us valuable lessons. Who hasn't learned NOT to access the working copy of a database or just how valuable a backup can be????
Anyway, luckily for newbies, computer classes in local community colleges exist, and are rather mature at this point. The skill set I see coming from these ranks is often nothing short of amazing. So I would point to the local colleges. Hours spent in peer study groups and lab time should pay huge dividends in the future.
Getting by...
Hi Rosalyn,
well, first, congratulation for your new challenge. When you ask where we started studying: I did in a class and am happy about it. Having a teacher explaining you what mindset you have to adopt is definitely a plus and there are tons of mistakes that one makes at the beginning that you want to solve quickly. Going from newbie to expert takes a long time and a lot of mistakes. Having guidance is a safe route.
On the other hand, I happen to be on MentorNet and have a "protégé" as they call them. He's learning off text books and, poor thing, I don't wish anyone to go through the same experience. The tough bit about books is to make sure you select the correct one and it's not his case. To choose a good book takes a lot of experience... that you do not have when you just start so you usually end up with whatever the seller wants you to buy.
If your husband is willing to spend time with you to teach you, do not think twice and take the offer: he may be changing his mind and you would be the looser :-) Being a relative, try to separate studies from emotions: that's probably the biggest threat in your case but if he is patient enough, it's not a big deal.
Good luck and let us know how you go
Share you "weakness"
Everything is hard until it's easy.
I started with BASIC. I did not do much programming for a long time afterwards however.
The key is to have an itch. All programming (and most things really) that I have learned have been learned to gain something that really interested me (or itched). This includes learning speaking, reading, 'riting, and 'rithmatic, I suppose. So the key is to have a comfortable environment where learning X will mean to acquire a new power. Carrot to be preferred over stick. Glass half full rather than half empty. I tend to use stick when I already have found the motivation but am faced with some other obstacle.
How about you post some code here of what you already have and maybe we can help you get started on js/html/css? Maybe even add in a visual description of what you might like to achieve visually. *Glance* at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event-driven_programming (that wikipedia page is horrible for a beginner to understand.. and googling some more didn't help). The javascript/html model makes doing this easier than in those examples because the looping code is implicit. The nutshell is that when the user clicks or selects something, we recompute based on that selection and the current state. Then we redisplay the new state.
From http://nerds.unl.edu/Pages/preser/sec/skills/dkeys.html example, one possibility is to have all the end results visible, and then selectively erase them as you progress along the steps. This is rather easy to do (without bells and whistles) on a webpage. You may even have the noise made by that organism (eg, if it's a farm animal) sound out when it has been determined uniquely (ie, at the end). Or maybe have it flash and then open up a page with a full description of that organism. You can also try to construct some sort of progress (0-100%) meter.
Some sort of online group with your students may even help out more. Coming up with a program *alongside* of them (so that they savor the journey) may motivate them to the subject more than will motivate them simply using your example at the end without having taken part. The best might be to get the point across with a simple example and then invite them to improve it. [That's probably what you are doing or were considering or would eventually do anyway.]
Programming is not for "computer programmers". Programming is for anyone that can use a computer as a tool and wants to take control.
What most of us are missing....
I have spent years reading books on languages and APIs, taking classes at community college and reading online tutorials. I know "hello world" in ten languages. But I don't consider myself a programmer, really.
I think the hardest thing for a new programmer to find is a good project -- one that's not too hard, but challenging enough to stretch you. One where you thoroughly understand the problem and the logic that needs to be done.
Being a programmer is a lot like being a writer. You can learn how to put words together, but you can't be a writer until you have something to write about. And you can't be a good writer until you're knowledgeable about what you're writing about.
And maybe that's where mentoring really comes in. Your husband probably doesn't know a lot about identifying organisms with dichotomous keys. But you did, and since he was there to help you with the programming, a program was born. Without his grasp of Python and your grasp of the problem domain, there would be no program.
Thanks everyone
Thank you everyone for such kind and thoughtful responses to my post.
Learning is a slow process, and it takes lots of effort and thought to figure out what to do. It's nice to know that there are others willing to lend a hand when it gets confusing and hard.

The Atopic Dermatitis Research Network (ADRN), sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is a consortium of academic medical centers seeking to better understand why people with atopic dermatitis (AD) experience more skin infections. The consortium is currently conducting clinical research studies that focus on bacterial skin infections associated with AD, particularly Staphylococcus aureus infections.
In the Atopic Dermatitis Vaccinia Network (ADVN) (2004-2009), precursor to the ADRN, the consortium investigators studied a group of individuals with both AD and a history of eczema herpeticum (eczema along with a widespread herpes simplex skin infection). Several important insights emerged and include the following:

STOCKTON - A man believed to be in his 20s was shot in his left leg about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 600 block of East Oak Street, police and witnesses said. The man was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Witnesses said they heard five to six shots that sounded like they came from a large-caliber gun. The man was shot in front of an apartment building on East Oak Street and walked to the corner of East Oak and North American streets before collapsing, witnesses said. Police said the victim was being uncooperative.
Authorities were unable to provide a description of the gunman, but witnesses said they saw two men running north on North American.
STOCKTON - The California Highway Patrol arrested 21-year-old Edward Adams about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday on Glacier Court in Stockton after a dramatic car chase, police said.
Adams led officers on a high-speed pursuit that ended when he blew out a tire and drove a stolen car up a freeway embankment on Highway 4, police said. Adams got out of the vehicle and ran south across all lanes of traffic as the vehicle went up in flames, authorities said.
Adams was found hiding in the backyard of a home on Glacier Court. He was arrested on suspicion of driving a stolen vehicle, evading arrest, driving without a license, driving while under the influence of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana, police said.
STOCKTON - Stockton police are looking for Lola Morris, an 86-year-old Stockton woman whose neighbors have not seen her since Nov. 6. Morris is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds. She has blue eyes, light brown hair and a light complexion.
According to authorities, Morris suffers from confusion and blindness. Anyone with information is asked to call the Stockton Police Department at (209) 937-8377.

Gov. John Kitzhaber on Thursday gave members of Congress a menu of options for increasing logging on the so-called O&C timberlands in western Oregon to help rural counties shore up cash-strapped budgets and produce logs for local mills.
The governor said he hopes Oregon's congressional delegation will use the options to produce legislation resolving the funding problem for Oregon timber counties. They have struggled nearly two decades since logging cutbacks were adopted on federal lands to protect the northern spotted owl and salmon.
Kitzhaber said he thinks options from the report can be put together that respect conservation values and still produce more than $70 million for the O&C counties — about double their last payment under a safety net that is expiring, and about 10 times the amount they would get from a direct sharing of federal timber revenues.
The 94-page report was the product of three months of work by a taskforce put together by Kitzhaber that included representatives of timber counties, the timber industry, and conservation groups.
The report did not reach consensus on a specific proposal for the 2.5 million-acre patchwork of federal timberlands in Western Oregon and Klamath County. But it did offer various options, including variations on a plan from three Oregon congressmen that would split the lands in two, with half going to a trust dedicated to timber harvest, and half transferred to the U.S. Forest Service to be managed for fish and wildlife habitat and clean water.
Members of Oregon's congressional delegation welcomed the report as useful.
"After looking over the materials, I'm optimistic," Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio said in a statement. "The report confirms that there are shared goals and there is common ground among Oregon counties, environmentalists, and the timber industry."

Five Crazy Moments From Ted Nugent's Discovery Channel Gun Special
Blog ››› ››› TIMOTHY JOHNSON
Last night, the Discovery Channel aired "an inside look at American gun culture" featuring Washington Times columnist and National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent. Media Matters previously noted that Nugent often uses inflammatory language against the Obama administration, women, religious and ethnic minorities and members of the LGBT community.
On the day that Ted Nugent's Gun Country aired, Nugent accused the "lying enemies of America" Obama administration of treason and "criminal complicity to murder." In promotional radio appearances for his special, Nugent accused "anti-American" Barack Obama of only feigning respect for veterans and declared his intention to use the Discovery Channel as a resource to help him win the "culture war."

moved my tank over 200 miles and all my fishies survived no problem. now that the tank is set up again, i was wondering how many bumblebee gobies can I fit in a 25 gallon tank.
right now i have my fig 8 who is not aggressive at all. I have seen him try to hunt ghost shrimp but gives up after they jet away. ive never seen him catch one. i also have a single bumblebee goby in there and freshwater flounder who hasnt grown much since ive gotten him. he is about 2 inches long and about an inch or so wide. i wanted another figure 8 puffer but i dont want the new one to attack my current one, plus 25 gallons is pushing it on 2 figure 8s.
all the fish have seem to recovered well. I had the tank up at school and my friend was supposed to be feeding them but he hadnt fed them for 5 weeks cause he went home. they are all fine and eating well and i think these past two weeks of recovery in my care have brought them back to 95% health.
so i was wondering how many bumblebee gobies i could fit in the tank? i have plenty of hiding places and little caves.

Starkville, MS -- June 4, 2012 --
Head coach Thomas Macera and assistant coaches Stephanie Carlson, Lindsay Campana and Jordon Yost of the 2012 NCAA Division II National Champion Valdosta State have been named as the National Fastpitch Coaches' Association's Division II National Coaching Staff of the Year, the Association announced Monday.
The Blazers went 58-5 overall and 26-1 in the Gulf South Conference to clinch the conference regular season crown. Valdosta State did not lose a conference game until the final day of the regular season when the conference record-breaking 36-game win-streak finally came to an end.
In the postseason, VSU won its fourth consecutive GSC tournament title and its sixth overall with a perfect 5-0 record. In the regional round, the Blazers won the first two games before falling in the first game of the final to Rollins, forcing an "If Necessary Game." In the winner-take-all final, Valdosta State grinded out a 1-0 win to move on to Super Regionals for the third time in four years.
In the Super Regionals, the Blazers swept Florida Southern in two games, the first going 16 innings, to advance to the NCAA Division II National Championship Tournament. The appearance in the final eight marked the second time in three seasons the Blazers advanced to the national championship game.
The Blazers dropped their opening game of the tournament to defending champion UC San Diego, forcing them into the elimination bracket. Valdosta State went on to win four games in three days, including beating Kutztown and the NCAA Division II Pitcher of the Year twice, to advance to the program's second national title game. In the championship, the Blazers avenged the earlier loss to UC San Diego and topped the Tritons, 4-1, for the first softball national championship in school history and sixth overall national championship for the school.
In six seasons with Valdosta State, the 2012 GSC Coach of the Year has amassed an impressive record of 343-85, earning his 300th victory at VSU this season as he also topped the list of all-time wins. Macera also notched his 500th career victory. In his six seasons in Valdosta, Macera has never won less than 41 games and has won 50-plus games on three separate occasions, including this season.
For their work this season, Macera and staff also earned the South Region Coaching Staff of the Year award.

Yoga for All Seasons: Winter
It is important that we change with the seasons just as nature does by adapting our daily habits, yoga practice and food choices. During the winter season, the energy of the Earth and its creatures is drawn inward. We can use this time for restoration and introspection, just as many plants and animals use it for hibernation. In preparation for the spring, it is important to slow down and rejuvenate.
An Ayurvedic approach to winter
There is a rule in Ayurveda that "like attracts like." That is why the kapha and vata doshas can become provoked and aggravated during the dry, dark, cold months of winter. This is because the climate is alike the qualities of these two doshas. If kapha or vata are triggered, digestive fire plummets, leaving you more susceptible to colds, poor circulation, joint pains and negative emotions. Here are some yoga and lifestyle tips that can help you to balance your doshas this season.

Four Western States to Cooperate on Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The Public Utilities Commissions of four western states adopted a Joint Action Framework on Climate Change on December 1st. California, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington will cooperate to develop and use low-carbon technologies and renewable energy resources, while promoting energy efficiency, conservation, and demand response programs. As part of the agreement, the commissions will consider policies to encourage the development of transmission lines to provide access to sites with significant renewable energy resources. The signing ceremony launched the Joint West Coast Public Utilities Commissions Workshop on Energy Efficiency, which brought together energy experts and international leaders to explore key technologies and best practices in energy efficiency. See the press release (PDF 67 KB) and the framework document (PDF 185 KB) on the California Public Utility Commission Web site. Download Adobe Reader.
In New Mexico, the Climate Change Advisory Group also released on December 1st their recommendations for reducing the state's greenhouse gas emissions. The group says New Mexico could reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to near 1990 levels by 2020 and create a projected $2.2 billion net economic savings if the state adopts 69 new climate change policies. Some of the top recommendations of the advisory group are to increase the state's renewable energy requirement, create incentives for energy efficiency in buildings, require cleaner cars, and reduce emissions from oil and gas production. Governor Bill Richardson created the advisory group last year. See the governor's press release and for the full report, see the New Mexico Climate Change Advisory Group Web site.

Alright let's hear it. Who reigns supreme in high school basketball? Which state?
I would say PA, the city of Philly alone produces the best ball in the nation
I have in no Particular order....California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, New Jersey
More of football state but FLorida has some serious ballers.
Florida? really? thats more football state i think
Yes the Hoosier state is the classic and traditional pick because it is the home of basketball, but i think indiana and other mid west/southern states are on a little decline. Kentucky and Tennessee states as a whole are not as talented as they used to be
Name all time straing fives from perspective states, it could be one way to end the debate.
Ill do North Carolina
Jordan, Brad Dougherty, James Worthy, Pete Maravich (he was born in Pennsyltucky but went to high school in NC), Dominique "the human highlight reel" Wilkins.
Not to bad of a starting five for the Good 'ol state of Carolina
Wow tough starting five. They would def sell the most tickets if that matters. At least to the front office.
not to bad. Campare that to philly- kobe, Wilt, rip hamilton, sheed and bmanney. think we have ourselves a game
Legend Status
good point Fin Gerolz Bmanney im sure would lock down one one of those NC greats. Plus i heard his first step is quicker than speed of light.
I say North Carolina.
Not only did they produce talent such as the greats like Jordan & Worthy, but now it's producing recent great talent such as John Wall, CJ Leslie, Deuce Bello & Quincy Miller (who is beginning to be considered as the next Kevin Durant)

Killer Combo
We're already loving the glimpses of Daisy Buchanan's 'do and can't wait to see the many ways Carey Mulligan's strands were styled for the glamorous film.
"After discussing the hair look [with Baz Luhrmann], we decided to keep a modern twist, doing our own interpretation of the '20s," says Kerry Warn, the lead hairstylist for The Great Gatsby.
Want to copy this classically cool style?
1. Create a deep side part above the arch of one of your eyebrows.
2. Using a one-inch curling iron, curl your hair from your temples down, then brush for loose waves.
3. Tuck and pin your hair into a bun at the nape of your neck to create a faux bob, then pull a few front strands loose.
Here are some other celebs who have jumped on the Gatsby glam bandwagon...
We heart this Scandal star's take on the '20s style. She always looks put-together, poised, and on point with her look.

Say what you will about Bill Clinton, but the man knows how to be a retired president.
Porn star Brooklyn Lee, winner of an AVN award for "Best New Starlet," happened to be present at a Monte Carlo gala also attended by the former First Gentleman. Lee and two of her porn pals, Tasha Reign and Jennifer Taule, managed to snag themselves a cozy snapshot with Clinton, and uploaded the souvenir to Twitter.
No word from Lee on whether or not the blue dress with the "white stain" was intentional.

About us
Nursing and the March of Dimes
The March of Dimes has a long, rich history of working with nurses. From the 1950s when more than 40,000 nurses participated in the Salk polio vaccine trials through today, the Foundation has always recognized that partnering with nurses is essential to achieve our mission.
For this reason, the March of Dimes developed an educational program devoted to supporting the work of nurses. Components of the program include a series of continuing nursing education (CNE) activities in print and online, scholarships and research awards.
March of Dimes nursing initiatives are guided by the expertise of its Nurse Advisory Council (NAC), a group of nationally recognized, preeminent perinatal nursing leaders. The NAC advises the Foundation on critical nursing issues and provides counsel and direction on education initiatives.
The March of Dimes also partners with professional nursing organizations, including the American College of Nurse-Midwives, the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric & Neonatal Nurses, and the National Association of Neonatal Nurses.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Sierra Nevada College professors and editors evaluated more than 500 submissions to choose the top winners for the 2012 High School Writing Contest, a national competition that produced exceptional stories, poems and creative nonfiction from high school juniors and seniors."The level of talent was extraordinary, making it tough for the judges," said June Saraceno, English Department chair at Sierra Nevada College, a four-year private college in Incline Village.Winning submissions in the categories of poetry, fiction and nonfiction came from students across the United States, including New Jersey, New York, Michigan and Arkansas. Winners in each category received $500 for first place, $250 for second and $100 for third.A new category, the Locals Prize, honored student writers from Nevada and California with a $100 prize. Kristen Lowe, of Incline Village, was honored for a nonfiction work, "Apathy, Privilege, Insomnia, Pancakes," while Gabi Mann, of Truckee, was honored for a poetry submission, "Yes.""My high school college counselor sent out an email to our school about the contest and it immediately sparked my interest," Lowe said. "I love writing in my free time, so I figured it would be a great opportunity to potentially be published and win money for college."Lowe plans to continue writing by studying journalism in college. She currently attends Sage Ridge School in Reno.High school students submitted original, unpublished work to Sierra Nevada College for the contest and possible inclusion into the Sierra Nevada Review, an annual literary magazine."First place winners are published in the Sierra Nevada Review, in our effort to recognize and publicize young writers," Saraceno said.The winning students have also been invited to read their work on Friday, Jan. 11, at Sierra Nevada College alongside highly-acclaimed poets and writers, including Patricia Smith, Paul Lisicky and Brian Turner.Smith is the author of five books of poetry and a nationally recognized performance poet. Lisicky is an American novelist and memoirist, while Turner has won many awards for his collections of poetry as a soldier in Iraq.They will be reading from 7-8:30 p.m. Friday in Sierra Nevada College's Prim Library as part of the college's low residency MFA creative writing program. Each residency is an eight-day intensive series of workshops, seminars, readings, and more.The current residency offers readings free and open to the public, which are listed under Recent Headlines on the Sierra Nevada College website, www.sierranevada.edu.

Friday, Nov. 8 • 4:30 p.m. CT
Emerald Beach Islanders Classic • Dugan Wellness Center • Corpus Christi, Texas
The Islanders women's basketball team opens up its 2013-14 regular season against Western Illinois on Friday at 4:30 p.m. in the Dugan Wellness Center as part of the Emerald Beach Islanders Classic.
• The Islanders come into the 2013-14 season with the Southland's top-ranked recruiting class and the 86th class in the nation.
• The team features 10 newcomers this season after losing three starters and eight total letterwinners.
• Senior Ashley Darley returns as the team's leading scorer. Last season Darley averaged 7.9 points a game after sitting out the 2011-12 campaign with a medical redshirt.
• The Islanders dominated in their exhibition matchup with Texas A&M International, coasting to a 76-50 win. During the game A&M – Corpus Christi put its defense on display, holding the Dustdevils scoreless during a stretch of more than eight minutes.
• The offense also showed up in the exhibition, as the Islanders went on a 31-4 run in the final 12 minutes of the first half. A total of four A&M-Corpus Christi players hit double digits in the scoring column, while all but one Islander scored.
• Head coach Royce Chadwick will look to turn things around in his second year after finishing 4-25 in his first year at the helm of the Islanders.
This will mark the first matchup between the Islanders and the Leathernecks. Last season, Western Illinois finished with a 14-16 overall schedule and 7-9 in the Summit League to finish sixth. The Leathernecks have been tabbed to finish in the same position this year in the conference.
However, the Islanders will have a tough matchup with sophomore forward Ashley Luke who earned a spot on the preseason first team all-conference list. This comes after a season where she averaged 10.6 points per game to go along with 7.2 rebounds game en route to being named the league's Newcomer of the Year during the 2012-13 campaign. In the team's 71-60 win exhibition win against Quincy, Duke already posted a double-double with 13 points and 17 rebounds.
Western Illinois does have big shoes to fill though, as it loses its leading scorer from last year, as Saule Kontautaite departs after averaging 12.4 points per game. The Leathernecks will look to Duke and sophomore Michelle Maher, who averaged 10.1 points a game, to help pace a scoring attack that put up 64.5 points per game last year.
With the departure of eight players from last year's squad, the Islanders only have four returners for the 2013-14 season, made up of three seniors and one sophomore.
The leading scorer out of the bunch was Ashley Darley, who was second on the team in points scored with 7.9 a game. Darley also ranked second on the team in rebounds per game and steals per game last year. Taryn Gregory also returns for her final season after starting in 20 games last year. She comes into the year ranked fourth in career free-throw percentage with a .764 overall mark her first three years. Brandi Huff rounds out the trio of seniors after ranking third on the team in rebounds.
The lone sophomore on A&M – Corpus Christi's roster is Ashanti Plummer. The Manhattan, N.Y., native enters play this year after making an impact on the team her freshman year, ranking second on the team in games started with 22 and first in the team in blocks and 11th in the Southland in the same category.
The Islanders enter this season with the top-ranked recruiting class in the Southland after signing 10 newcomers.
Five of them join the Island University with collegiate experience – three of which did so at the Division I level. Two of the transfers have played for coach Royce Chadwick, as Shay Weaver and Jasmine Shaw come to the Island University after playing for him at Marshall. Shaw will look to make an immediate impact, while Weaver will sit out this season because of NCAA transfer rules.
Alissa Campanero will look to get the ball in the hands of shooters as she dished out 4.9 assists per game last season with Odessa College and has experience in Division I after playing her freshman season at Hawaii.
Shola Adebayo played at Eastern Oklahoma State Community College and averaged 16 points and seven rebounds per game, while securing 12 double-doubles, picking up First Team All-Conference, First Team All-Region and Third Team NJCAA All-American honors.
Lexy Harris joins the Islanders after averaging a double-double with Angelina Community College, averaging 12.8 points per game and 10.9 rebounds to go along with 2.1 blocks per game.
Rounding off the highly touted recruiting class are five freshmen, with all but one of those coming from Texas.
Ranked No. 63 in the ESPN Girls Recruiting Nationals Rankings was Camesha Davis, who averaged 16 points and 8.5 rebounds at Desoto High School. Another freshman that comes to the Coastal Bend almost averaging a double-double is Doshi Davis who averaged 11 points, 8.3 rebounds as a senior at Memorial High School in Port Arthur, Texas.
A freshman that managed to average a double-double her senior season of high school was Brittany Mbamalu, pulling down 10.1 rebounds a game to go along with 20.8 points. She was also named first team all-district her junior and senior seasons.
Looking to help out a team that averaged less than 50 points a game last season is Kassie Jones, who was ranked 10th in Texas in scoring her senior year, averaging 24 points a game.
The lone freshman from outside of Texas is Rau Jau' Terry who comes to A&M – Corpus Christi from Louisville, Ky., and was rated one of the top 250 players in the country by Collegiate Girls Basketball Report.
The Islanders will have to find a way to make up for losing their top scorer with Jessica Jammer departing after tallying 8.4 points a game last year. It also loses its assists leader, as Verne'Qua Taylor leaves after climbing to fifth in the Islanders record book, while ranking ninth in the Southland with 3.31 assists per game. Taylor also ranked first on the team and 11th in the conference in steals.
After finishing last season 3-15, the Islanders have been picked by the Southland coaches to finish ninth in the conference, while the SID Poll has A&M – Corpus Christi occupying the 10th spot.
Including its exhibition matchup, A&M – Corpus Christi will open its season with four-straight home games at the Dugan Wellness Center, as after their game with Western Illinois the Islanders will continue play in the Emerald Beach Islanders Classic on Saturday, Nov. 9 with a game against either UAB or Fairfield on Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m. depending on who wins and loses in the matchups on Friday.
The team will then be back in action on campus Thursday, Nov. 14, as Southern Utah comes to the Coastal Bend for a non-conference tilt at 7 p.m. before the Islanders finally leave the friendly confines of home for a three-game road trip.

There are many ideas floating around the internet which promise to save you money on gas. Cosumer Reports says the following three tips are myths.
Morning fill-ups
A common tip is to buy gasoline in the morning, when the air is cool, rather than in the heat of the day. The theory is that the cooler gasoline will be denser, so you will get more for your money. But the temperature of the gasoline coming out of the fuel nozzle changes very little, if at all, during any 24-hour stretch. Any extra gas you get will be negligible.
Air conditioning vs. opening windows
Some people advise you not to run the air conditioner because it puts more of a load on the engine, which can decrease fuel economy. But others say that opening the windows at highway speeds can affect gas mileage even more by disrupting the vehicle's aerodynamics. In our tests in a Honda Accord, using air conditioning while driving at 65 mph reduced the vehicle's gas mileage by over 3 mpg. The effect of opening the windows at 65 mph was not measurable.
A dirty air filter
Our tests show that driving with a dirty air filter no longer has any impact on fuel economy, as it did with older engines. That's because modern engines use computers to precisely control the air/fuel ratio, depending on the amount of air coming in through the filter. Reducing airflow causes the engine to automatically reduce the amount of fuel being used. Fuel economy didn't change, but the Camry accelerated much more slowly with a dirty filter.
Consumer Reports offers eight ways to see actual gas savings.
Drive at a moderate speed
This is the biggest factor. You may have to be a little patient, but driving at 55 mph instead of 65 or 75 will save you money. When we increased the Camry's highway cruising speed from 55 mph to 65, the car's fuel economy dropped from 40 mpg to 35. Speeding up to 75 mph cost the car another 5 mpg. One reason is that aerodynamic drag increases exponentially the faster you drive; it simply takes more fuel to power the car through the air.
Drive smoothly
Avoid hard acceleration and braking whenever possible. In our tests, frequent bursts of acceleration and braking reduced the Camry's mileage by 2 to 3 mpg. Once up to speed on the highway, maintain a steady pace in top gear. Smooth acceleration, cornering, and braking also extend the life of the engine, transmission, brakes, and tires.
Reduce unnecessary drag
At highway speeds, more than 50 percent of engine power goes to overcoming aerodynamic drag. So don't carry things on top of your vehicle when you don't have to. Installing a large Thule Cascade 1700 car-top carrier on our Camry dropped its gas mileage from 35 mpg to 29 at 65 mph. Even driving with empty racks on the car reduces its fuel economy.
Don't use premium fuel if you don't have to
If your car specifies regular fuel, don't buy premium under the mistaken belief that your engine will run better. The only difference you'll see is about 20 cents more per gallon. Most cars are designed to run just fine on regular gasoline. Even many cars for which premium is recommended will run well on regular. We have found that the differences are imperceptible during normal driving. Check your owner's manual to find out if your engine really requires premium or if you can run on other grades.
Minimize driving with a cold engine
Engines run most efficiently when they're warm. In our city-driving tests, making multiple short trips and starting the engine from cold each time reduced fuel economy by almost 4 mpg. Engines also produce more pollution and wear faster when they're cold. When possible, combine several short trips into one so that the engine stays warm.
Keep tires properly inflated
The Camry experienced a 1.3 mpg loss in highway fuel economy when the tires were underinflated by 10 psi. More important, underinflated tires compromise handling and braking, and wear faster. And they run much hotter, which can lead to tire failure. Check the pressure of your vehicle's tires at least once a month with a tire gauge. The owner's manual explains how to do it.
Buy tires with lower rolling resistance
A tire's rolling resistance can add or detract another 1 or 2 mpg. In our tire ratings, look for high-rated tires with low rolling resistance. They generally won't cost more, and replacing a worn tire could save you more than $100 a year in fuel.
Avoid idling for long periods
Think of it this way: When you're idling, your car is getting zero miles per gallon. When we let a Buick Lucerne, with a V8, idle for 10 minutes while warming up, it burned about an eighth of a gallon of gas. A smaller engine would probably burn less, but idling still adds up over time. As a rule, turn off your engine if you expect to sit for more than about 30 seconds. An engine warms up faster as it's driven anyway.
