A truck crashed on a toll booth at Taiyuan expressway, capital of northern China's Shanxi Province Wednesday morning, injuring its driver and a passenger.
According to the surveillance video, the troublemaker rushed the toll booth at the expressway without any hesitation.
At the accident scene, the truck cut a corner of stone block, breaking off several police blockages, tearing down a toll booth, crushing another as well.
"This is an ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) lane with only a toll machine, (vehicles) do not need to stop to pay toll. If there had been a person (working), he would've died," said a staff member with the Taiyuan expressway operation control center.
An adjacent tollbooth also was damaged, but the staff member inside was safe.
A passenger in the truck was severely injured and is under medical observation in hospital. The driver was said to be bruised.

Comments about Brooks Core:
Bought this shirt as a cute way to sport my favorite brand. Wasn't sure if it'd end up being more of a workout top or an everyday one, but you can definitely use it as either. I wouldn't do my long runs in this, but maybe a quick run with friends and then going out to grab a cup of coffee. Would wear on a cooler day instead of a hotter one because there isn't any meshy areas to absorb extra sweat, but a good solid running/everyday piece. :-)

Loved this tee when I put it on- fits great and very comfy. As soon as I started working out and sweating, the shirt was see though. I know its white-- but I have other white tees that don't do that. Otherwise good shirt, if you don't plan on sweating!

We all expect a quirky and funny column from Jeffrey Bergeron. So I was surprised when I read his March 3 column, "The Blind Clothing the Clueless," in which he managed to insult both blind and adopted individuals. Am I missing something? Is that supposed to be funny, Biff?
You were an adolescent whom others thought made some questionable clothing choices. Most teenagers think they look cool and most parents are mortified by their kid's unconventional fashion choices. Nothing unusual, don't we almost expect that to happen?
So Mr. America, we don't need to be robbed of our ability to see in order to dress "inappropriately" just as we needn't be horrified we might be adopted because we disappointed our parents.
Grow up Biff!

News 12 at First at Five / Friday, June 22, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. -- "That night when I came home, I couldn't get it off my mind, because I kept thinking about what could have happened," said Jean Simmons, who lives in Aiken.
Simmons can't forget her encounter on Tuesday afternoon.
"I unfastened my seat belt and opened the car door, and when I opened the car door, these hands reached in and started rubbing my head," she said.
Around 2:30 p.m., a simple trip to Publix turned into a frightening run-in.
The Aiken Department of Public Safety says she was face-to-face with flimflam scammer.
"I started to get out of the car, and she said, 'No! Don't get out of the car!' She said, 'Scoot over!' She said, 'I want to show you something,'" Simmons recalled.
"They got what many times they'll show you is a large sum of cash, and they come up with this crazy scheme of their lawyer needs their help, and they'll let you talk to these people, and they don't have a banking account, so let's put it in yours, and you give me half the money," said Cpt. David Turno with the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Luckily, Simmons didn't bite, but Turno says a lot of times victims do.
"They fall for it way too often, and then they're embarrassed and don't want to notify law enforcement, so it's hard for us to keep up with where these crimes are occurring around town," Turno said.
He says scammers target senior citizens like Simmons. Investigators don't have much to go on when it comes to a description of the suspect. All they have is that she's a black female, in her mid-40s, driving a dark, possibly green, sedan.
"There's nothing free. If it's too good to be true, it is. People don't find large sums of money and then want to split it with you," Turno said.
It's advice Simmons now lives by.
"We just have to be alert, and before you even get out of your car, look at your surroundings," she said.
The scammer approached another shopper at Roses on Richland Avenue, too. She approached the victims with a brown pouch with two thick rolls of cash.
Public safety doesn't have any suspects for now, but if you have any information, call Crimestoppers of the Midlands at 888-CRIME-SC. There's a reward of up to $1,000, and it's money that doesn't come with a catch.

In collaboration with the Eagle Valley High School's DADD (Devils Against Drinking and Drugs) Club, the Eagle County Sheriff's Office will host its first 420 Drug Free Rally on Friday, April 20 at Freedom Park in Edwards.
April 20 (420) has become a day to celebrate and smoke marijuana in defiance of the law and authorities with "420" serving as a code word used to mean "Let's go get high." For many in the counterculture, 420 represents April 20, or the "National Pot Smoking Day." Many Coloradans believe 420 sends out the wrong message to our youth by glorifying drug abuse. Others view this as insensitive and a dishonor of the Columbine High School tragedy, which also occurred on April 20.
In order to take a stand against the "National Pot Smoking Day" and to promote healthy and safe teen choices, different counties throughout Colorado are hosting rallies or events on or around April 20, with the emphasis on a drug-free message. The purpose is to celebrate teenagers and the fact that the majority of them make good decisions and do not use or intend to use drugs, as indicated by survey results below.
• 91.6 percent of local middle school students have never tried marijuana.
• 60.9 percent of local high school students have never tried marijuana.
• 39.1 percent of local high school students have tried marijuana.
• 71 percent of local 12th grade students saw no risk or a slight risk in harming themselves by trying marijuana.
• 69 percent of middle school students saw a moderate or great risk in harming themselves by trying marijuana.
This event will be celebrated on a local level with a free community barbecue, open pick-up games, such as soccer, basketball, volleyball, and rock climbing, along with a giant bonfire with s'mores and an outdoor movie. This event will begin at 4:20 p.m. with our National Guard helicopter landing.
These events are intended to:
• Counter the perception that the majority of our teenagers use drugs, and send a message that drug-free is the social norm.
• Emphasize health and safety and a day to celebrate our youth,
• Remember the Columbine tragedy with the emphasis on health and safety for our teenagers.
• Send a prevention message from our teenagers.
Speeding with open cans
of trouble
A deputy stopped a car for speeding on Interstate 70 near Eagle-Vail on April 8 and discovered open alcohol containers in the vehicle when he contacted the 20-year-old driver.
The two passengers had been drinking and one was under age. The driver insisted he had not been drinking and volunteered to take roadside sobriety tests.
A background check on the driver revealed him to be a known gang member with an extensive criminal history. Since he volunteered to take voluntary roadside tests, the deputy asked him out of the car for further questioning.
The man said he was going back to Glenwood Springs after spending the day in Denver trying to sell a set of car rims and tires. Deputies asked to search the car and he gave permission.
In the trunk, under the rims and tires, the officers found a backpack containing approximately three ounces of marijuana. The 19-year-old passenger said it was his. He was cited for illegal possession and consumption of alcohol, and possession of two ounces or less of marijuana.
The driver was cited for speeding and having open containers of alcohol in the vehicle.
A deputy's suspicions were aroused in Gypsum April 6, when he saw a car turn off of Gun Club Road onto I-70 late at night.
The Shooting Sports Park is the only thing accessed by the road and the park was closed.
The officer followed the car on I-70 and watched it weave in its lane. He stopped the car after it slowed down to 30 mph in a 75 mph zone.
As he approached the vehicle, the 25-year-old female passenger was fidgeting and appeared to be hiding things under the seat.
The 56-year-old driver said they were going home to Aspen from Denver and the woman had to urinate. He admitted to drinking a glass of wine earlier that evening but said he was sober. The deputy asked him out of the car for voluntary roadside tests.
Meanwhile, the woman grew increasingly nervous and had to be told several times to stay in the car.
The man did not complete the tests to the officer's satisfaction. He refused to take a breath test with a portable Intoxilyzer and was arrested for further investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol.
The deputy went back to talk with the woman about finding a ride home and saw a white, powdery rock on the seat between her legs as she fumbled with items in her hands. The officer asked her if that was cocaine and told her to get out of the car.
The woman said it wasn't. She leaned back into the car and started sweeping the substance out of the car. The deputy told her to stop but she wouldn't, so he pulled her back out of the car.
The woman turned and hit the officer in the chest with her fist. She continued to wrestle and kick as deputies took her to the ground and handcuffed her. The officers ended up with abrasions and one had a shoulder injury that was later treated at the emergency room.
The woman went to jail for assault on a peace officer, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, tampering with physical evidence and resisting arrest.
The man was booked for unlawful possession of a controlled substance, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or both and failure to drive in a designated lane.
On April 10, the Eagle County Sheriff's Office arrested Tyler James Stripp, age 22 from Vail. Stripp sold cocaine to an undercover sheriff's detective in West Vail. During a search of Stripp, after his arrest, five illegal (non-prescribed) Oxycodone pills were recovered from his wallet.
Information obtained during Stipp's arrest lead detectives to Katherine Elizabeth Fontanese (age 21, from Lakewood). Fontanese sold a bottle of illegal (non-prescribed) Oxycodone pills to an undercover Sheriff's Detective at a residence in Edwards.
Stripp and Fontanese were booked into the Eagle County Detention Facility. Both individuals were charged with felony Distribution and Possession of Controlled Substances. They are both being held on $50,000 bonds.
Tips on illegal drug activity from concerned citizens are vital to Eagle County Drug Task Force operations. The Eagle County Sheriff's Office will continue to investigate this incident.
If you think you may have any information about the suspects or this crime, please call the Eagle County Sheriff's Office at (970) 328-8500 or Eagle County Crime Stoppers at (970) 328-7007, 1-800-972-TIPS, submit your tip online at www.tipsubmit.com, or text a tip from your cell phone by texting STOPCRIME plus your message to CRIMES (274637). If your tip leads to the arrest and indictment of any suspect involved, you could earn up to a $1,000 reward from the Crime Stoppers.
• A bicycle was damaged on April 11 while it was locked to a rack near a bus stop shelter in Beaver Creek. The owner said he chased off two men trying to steal the bike from the same rack on March 5. The damage to the bike and lock was estimated at $375.

Mary Beard and Question Time – Clash, Discussion or Dialogue?
January 27, 2013
Lincoln Green
Following the appearance of Mary Beard on the BBC's Question Time broadcast from Lincoln on 17 January 2013 there has been an outbreak of largely anonymous abuse, directed at the Cambridge University Professor of Classics, originating from discussions which took place on the programme.
The website 'Don't Set Me Off' which included some particularly offensive comments has subsequently been closed down by the website moderator who commented that friends and colleagues of the academic had been "trolling" his site and bombarding it with Latin poetry. He also commented that Beard ought not to seek to curb freedom of speech. Beard suggested that it was desirable to have a consensus on appropriate behaviour for on-line postings and that the nature of boundaries regarding what is acceptable should be considered.
As well as reflecting on the personal impact of the abuse on Mary Beard, a number of more general issues arise from these incidents and are perhaps worth considering: the relationship between the comments and the debate which actually took place; the quality and accuracy of reports on the debate made by sections of the press; the reasons which underscore the various controversies created by the programme; the potential inhibition of democratic debate and the willingness of individuals to place their heads above the parapet in a public forum of this type.

'Mad Men' Recap: Season 7, Episode 6 'The Strategy'
Editor's Note: Every Sunday after the newest episode of "Mad Men," lawyer and Supreme Court advocate Walter Dellinger will host an online dialogue about the show. Other participants include Columbia University history professor Alan Brinkley and Columbia University film and television professor Evangeline Morphos. Our panelists will post thoughts after the episode ends at 11 p.m or sometime the next day. Readers are invited to join in with their thoughts in the comments section.
Walter Dellinger, Supreme Court Advocate
For several weeks, I've thought that this show was wandering about with no discernable narrative arc. I literally had nothing to say about last week's episode. But tonight's episode seemed to recover a bit of the magic of the show at its best.
Bob's grasping need for cover for his homosexuality and Peggy's need to step aside for a more "authoritative" male to make the client presentation both seemed rightly situated in the era. But more than anything what gave depth to this episode was the wonderful construct of "family."
All the actual, traditional families are separated in this story. Pete has been ousted by his wife, and barely recognized by his daughter. His relationship with Bonnie seems over, as she flies back West, on the same plane as Megan who leaves Don behind in New York. But in the very end the most unlikely family tableaux is constructed – Don, Peggy and Pete dining at Burger King. Don makes a gesture suggesting that Pete has ketchup on his cheek, and Peggy offers at napkin. As I write that, I realize that a written description can't do justice to that the scene.
Framed in the picture window of a fast food restaurant, the last scene reflects not so much the anomie of an Edward Hopper, but something closer to the warmth of a Norman Rockwell. There is a glimmer of hope for connectedness in this harsh modern world after all.
Evangeline Morphos, Columbia University Film/TV Professor
"The Strategy" is one of those near-perfect (why hedge?)—perfect—episodes that reminds us of the spine of this extraordinary series.
"Mad Men" has always been about answering the question posed in the first episode of Season 4 when a reporter from The Wall Street Journal asks: "Who is Don Draper?" Don had to answer that question for himself, before the series could answer it for the audience. Last week's meeting with Phillip Morris assured us that Don had come out the other side of his dark journey of self-acceptance. For the first time Don was selling himself—not just the image he would create for the ad campaign.
Don embraced his past (in this case, the diatribe he had written against the tobacco industry) and made it a selling point about the future.
The next challenge for Don Draper is to find a place to land—to find a home, a family. Beginning with the Kodak Carousel pitch, Don has struggled to find a place for the emotional yearning he feels; and he understands that, by extension, everyone has that same yearning. Don's ad campaigns have been stepping stones along his personal journey. His ads had the skill to express what an individual wants—"even before he knows he wants it."
For each of the characters, this episode is about finding a family—coming "home". The advertising execs of SC(D)P –yes, I'm putting the "D" back in the title– have been selling the concept of the American family all along; but as Peggy says: "Does this family exist anymore? Are there people who eat dinner and smile at each other instead of watching T.V.?"
The answer to that question is "yes." The final image of the episode shows us a family—Don, Peggy, Pete—who are bound by love, loyalty, and a shared passion for the work they do. Walter, I, too, was struck by the genuine intimacy of that small gesture of Don signaling to Pete that he had ketchup on his cheek. It's what a loving parent does, or an irritated spouse. It's a gesture you make to a family member.
Don, Pete and Peggy reach that family dinner after several unsuccessful family configurations. Throughout the episode, Pete is torn between his sexy, demanding mistress and his wife and daughter; and he ends up rejecting and being rejected by both. Even though Don and Megan are having passionate sex each night, she is in the process of moving out of Don's life. (Taking the fondue pot back to L.A. is the final signal.) Peggy is lying about her age because she is afraid her chance for a family has passed her by; yet, she has refused to visit Ginsburg in the hospital.
Equally powerful in this episode are the stories of those characters to search for family, and can't find one. Bob Benson returns from Detroit and when realizes he is about to be made an offer at Buick, he proposes to Joan. "You don't want this," Joan answers, aware of his homosexuality. Even though Benson counters that Buick "wants a certain kind of executive," his next lines are closer to the truth: "We could comfort each other through an uncertain world." Isn't that a definition of family? I ache for the impossibility of Benson's yearning for family. He cannot achieve it in 1969. I also ache for the impossibility of Joan find the "love" she is waiting for.
As the characters are searching for family, they are also searching for their own voice. In this episode Peggy finally, and authentically, comes up with her first real ad campaign. Frustrated that the campaign doesn't really work, she rails at Don: "You really want to help me—show me how you think." Rather than "showing" her, Don allows her to find her own way to an emotional place that speaks to her.
In describing her connection to Burger Chef , she says: "You are surrounded by all kinds of mother's who work." What she connects to is an extension of her own needs–"What if there was a place where you could go, and you were sitting with family." In the background Frank Sinatra"s "My Way' plays on the radio. When Peggy complains that the song is everywhere, Don answers "There's a reason for that." As much as this episode is about family, it is also about finding one's own path—accepting it, and following it.
Perhaps more moving than the last image of the episode is the image of Don and Peggy dancing—close, loving, if not in love. As the camera pulls back, Benson is alone in his office, standing with his face to the wall. These are the two images of the world of 1969—those who can find comfort in each other, and those who are struggling to find a place.
Alan Brinkley, Columbia University History Professor
I agree with Walter. For the last few weeks, the agency and the narrative seemed to be falling apart. The newer characters who were taking over, didn't seem to have much interest in their work, and Don and Peggy were left behind. But this week brought us a powerful episode, bringing together the major figures we have been following throughout the series: Joan, Peggy, Pete, and Don.
The episode gives us an update on the emotional lives of these characters.
Joan – still lonely – seemed to enjoy the warmth which Bob Benson brought back into her life. But when he proposed, even though she was touched, she turns him down: "You don't want this!" she says, referring to his homosexuality. It's not clear whether Bob will disappear from the show, but it is clear he will disappear from Joan's life.
Pete still wants to get his wife back, but she insists on a divorce. Pete is furious with her for throwing him out of the house, even though he is living with his mistress in California, and even though he seems to pay little attention to his daughter.
And Don is staying in New York while Megan is moving out again to California. There is no real relationship between them; and after a romantic breakfast, Don goes to work, and Megan leaves on a flight to L.A.
Peggy continues to be deeply unhappy. She thinks she has been left behind now that Don has come back. Every time she starts a meeting, she fears that if Don is in the room, he will take over. Peggy tries to distance herself from him as much as possible.
These characters are isolated from each other throughout the first part of the episode; but suddenly, things change. Peggy, dissatisfied with her Burger Chef pitch struggles to find a better one—one with more emotional resonance. She keeps coming back to the idea that the restaurant is a place where families go. Peggy asks Don the central question of the episode—and one each of us has cited: "..Are there people who eat dinner and smile at each other instead of watching TV?"
But she goes on to ask Don a deeper, more personal question: "What was home like?" "I can't remember," Don answers.
Despite the problems between Peggy and Don, the two of them dance together – not in any sexual way, but simply not to be alone.
None of these characters have any real family. But finally, sitting in Burger Chief, Peggy, Pete, and Don are together as if at home — restoring the "family" of the agency. We've been waiting for this to happen.
Gwen Orel, 'Mad Men' Recapper
This episode is called "Strategy," and there's a lot of it going on. Pete and Bonnie come east—she uses some strategy on him on the plane, initiating mile-high sex, which is something he's always wanted to try—to get him to hurry a divorce along.
And at the office, Pete employs some strategy to bump Don up a notch or two. He does this by inviting Don to the Burger Chef meeting, when it should be just accounts and Harry. Lou's nonplussed. Peggy's presentation is a storyboard of a family going to Burger Chef and being surprised by meeting Dad there. At a follow-up meeting with just Lou, Pete and Peggy, Pete plays his second card by saying Don should deliver the presentation, if Peggy agrees. When Lou demurs, Pete says, "You've never seen Don at his best. It'll be a tear-jerker." Peggy can be the voice of the mom. "It's your decision," a voice says out of nowhere. It's Ted, on the speakerphone. Peggy agrees, but when she leaves the room, her eyes could kill.
When she tells Don, she pretends it was her idea. She tells him to do that thing where he gives the tag like he just thought of it. "Do I do that?" he says. Heh. And then he has another idea he was just noodling around with. What about doing it from the kid's point of view? McDonald's, anyone? After she leaves, Don slams his fist with delight. He's back!
Jim's strategy is still to get Commander to oust Don. He drops a name at Roger, but Roger calls it "your secret plan to win the war." Roger figured out something from Jim from McCann in a steam room that morning, but it isn't clear what.
Bob Benson also strategizes to leverage a better life for himself. He bails out a Chevy guy from jail, arrested for making homosexual advances to a cop. In return the guy tells him that Chevy is dropping SCP to go in-house, and that Buick is going to make a big offer to Bob. So what does Bob do? Try to become the perfect executive by proposing to Joan. She knows he's gay, though, and wants love, not an arrangement, so she dismisses him.
Pete visits little Tammy in Cos Cob, who's shy of him, and is put out that Trudy's not there. When Trudy returns later from her date, he scolds her, playing the big husband, because they aren't divorced yet. That doesn't work, and it also sours things between him and Bonnie, because Pete is not a great date the rest of the time.
Megan is up to something: she visits New York, ostensibly to pick up some summer clothes, but she's also getting a bunch of other stuff to bring to L.A. She keeps saying she misses Don, but she's acting distant. Peggy wakes up in the middle of the night, and throws her notes down. The next day she calls Stan, but he's going to see his girlfriend (it's the weekend). She calls Don at home, where Megan is making the famous spaghetti, just to tell him his idea is bad.
But this all leads to a wonderful rapprochement when she solicits his help, in a grumpy way. She insists he tell her how he thinks. He says "it has to be what you want," and then says first he abuses the people whose help he needs, then he takes a nap. She smiles and says, "done." We learn that she turned 30 a few weeks ago—which maybe explains her grumpiness. They go through a brainstorming process. She wonders, "does this family exist anymore? People who eat dinner and smile, instead of staring at the TV?" And that leads to the brilliant idea to make the pitch about family.
"My Way" comes on the radio, and Don asks her to dance. Are they end game after all? She leans on him, and he kisses the top of her head.
There's a partners meeting about the loss of Chevy, and the promotion of Harry to partner. Joan's furious, and storms in to Roger's office. He's mad she knew about Chevy first, but when she tells him she learned from Bob, Roger realizes what the steam room friend was getting at: McCann's afraid they'll steal Buick.
The final bit of strategy: Peggy and Don meet with Pete at Burger Chef. Peggy wants to shoot the ad there. Every table here is the family table, she says. Pete's not convinced and says, "tell her, Don." Don supports Peggy.
The camera pulls back and we see lots of happy families and couples holding hands.
What did you think? Where is this going?

SAN JOSE -- San Jose State's fall from a top 25 defense nationally in 2012 to the bottom 25 last season played the largest role in denying the Spartans a second straight bowl appearance.
Injuries, inexperience and a questionable change in the defensive scheme shredded a unit that was a strength a season before. Now with a third defensive coordinator in three years -- and a more familiar look -- SJSU is looking to make significant improvements.
"That wasn't quite who we are," Spartans coach Ron Caragher said of a defense that allowed 459.2 yards per game, which ranked 103rd nationally. "I think guys are excited to return to the arena and to play our level of football."
Greg Robinson, a former Super Bowl-winning defensive coordinator with the Denver Broncos, has taken over for Kenwick Thompson, now the outside linebackers coach at Vanderbilt.
"Already in the first couple of days, he's opened my eyes to a couple things that have been there, I just hadn't seen them yet," senior linebacker Vince Buhagiar said of Robinson.
"He has an aura about him," senior defensive tackle Travis Raciti said. "When he speaks, we all listen. We know that what he's telling us is the right thing."
The Spartans were No. 24 in the country in total defense in 2012 and thrived under the 4-3 scheme run by former coach Mike MacIntyre and defensive coordinator Kent Baer. When they left for Colorado, and Caragher was hired, he brought in Thompson, who made the switch to the 3-4.
In theory, it was done with solid reasoning. Thompson is most familiar coaching the 3-4, and the thinking was that it would allow for better flexibility to match up against spread offenses.
The problem became a lack of personnel to properly execute it. SJSU didn't have anybody with significant experience as a 3-4 outside linebacker.
Buhagiar, a three-year starter at middle linebacker, was moved to the outside but injured his shoulder and was lost for the season. Raciti, who like Buhagiar was a first-team All-Western Athletic Conference player in 2012, moved from defensive tackle to defensive end.
The Spartans tried all sorts of combinations on the line and at outside linebacker but were routinely gashed by effective running teams. That weakness flared up big time in season-defining losses to San Diego State and Navy.
"A lot of it was very hard to swallow," Buhagiar said of watching last season from the sideline.
"It eats at me every day," sophomore linebacker Christian Tago added.
Robinson has returned SJSU to the 4-3 alignment. Buhagiar is back at middle linebacker, Raciti is back at tackle. Junior Jimmy Pruitt, who played safety for the first time in his career last season, has returned to cornerback. All of a sudden, everything feels much more familiar.
Robinson said it's too early for him to have a feel for the strengths of SJSU's defense. For now, he's preaching the importance of delivering maximum effort.
"We have to be a group of 11 players on the field with one thing in common, that they're all flying around getting to the football," Robinson said. "There's going to be plays where there's a mistake made or a missed tackle. Things happen. But the trick is to minimize, and effort can really make that happen."
The defense is motivated to prove last year wasn't an indication of who it is, and that's an attitude it always wants to carry with it.
"Regardless if we're No. 1 on the nation or 100th in the nation, we're always going to have that chip on our shoulder," Pruitt said.
But for as much as they'll talk about wanting to get better, the players are more interested in proving it.
"What we do drowns out what we say," Buhagiar said.

Diabetes Health Center
What Increases My Risk of Diabetes?
In this article
There are three major types of the disease: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. With all three, your body can't make or use insulin.
One of every four people with diabetes doesn't know they have it. That amounts to about 7 million Americans. Might you be one of them? Read on to see if your risk of having diabetes is high.
Did You Know?
Under the Affordable Care Act, many health insurance plans will cover preventive care services, including screening tests for type 2 diabetes, at no cost to you. Learn more.
Type 1
This type usually starts in childhood. Your pancreas stops making insulin. You have type 1 diabetes for life. The main things that lead to it are:
- Family history. If you have relatives with diabetes, chances are strong you'll get it, too. Anyone who has a mother, father, sister, or brother with type 1 diabetes should get checked. A simple blood test can diagnose it.
- Diseases of the pancreas. They can slow its ability to make insulin.
- Infection or illness. Some infections and illnesses, mostly rare ones, can damage your pancreas.
Type 2
If you have this kind, your body can't use the insulin it makes. This is called insulin resistance. Type 2 usually affects adults, but it can begin at any time in your life. The main things that lead to it are:
- Obesity or being overweight. Research shows this is a top reason for type 2 diabetes. Because of the rise in obesity among U.S. children, this type is affecting more teenagers.
- Impaired glucose tolerance. Prediabetes is a milder form of this condition. It can be diagnosed with a simple blood test. If you have it, there's a strong chance you'll get type 2 diabetes.
- Insulin resistance. Type 2 diabetes often starts with cells that are resistant to insulin. That means your pancreas has to work extra hard to make enough insulin to meet your body's needs.
- Ethnic background. Diabetes happens more often in Hispanic/Latino Americans, African-Americans, Native Americans, Asian-Americans, Pacific Islanders, and Alaska natives.
- High blood pressure . That means blood pressure over 140/90.
- Low levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol and high levels of triglycerides.
- Gestational diabetes. If you had diabetes while you were pregnant, you had gestational diabetes. This raises your chances of getting type 2 diabetes later in life.
- Sedentary lifestyle. You exercise less than three times a week.
- Family history. You have a parent or sibling who has diabetes.
- Polycystic ovary syndrome. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have a higher risk.
- Age. If you're over 45 and overweight or if you have symptoms of diabetes, talk to your doctor about a simple screening test.

Heart Failure Health Center
Diastolic Heart Failure - Topic Overview
Diastolic heart failure occurs when the lower left chamber (left ventricle) is not able to fill properly with blood during the diastolic (filling) phase. The amount of blood pumped out to the body is less than normal.
What happens to the heart?
Diastole is the phase of your heartbeat when your heart relaxes and fills with blood. Diastolic dysfunction means that your left ventricle cannot relax properly during diastole. As a result, your ventricle doesn't fill with enough blood before it pumps. If diastolic dysfunction is severe enough, it can lead to heart failure.
Diastolic heart failure happens because the left ventricle's muscle becomes too stiff or thickened. To compensate for stiff heart muscle, your heart has to increase the pressure inside the ventricle to properly fill the ventricle. Over time, this increased filling causes blood to build up inside the left atrium and eventually into the lungs, which leads to fluid congestion and the symptoms of heart failure.
Diastolic heart failure may not lower the heart's ejection fraction. Ejection fraction is a measurement of how well the heart is pumping out blood. This ejection fraction is typically lower in people who have systolic heart failure. But in diastolic heart failure, your left ventricle may pump well during systole; it is just not filling with enough blood during diastole. Your ventricle may have a normal ejection fraction, but it has less blood inside it to pump out. As a result, your ventricle pumps out less blood with each beat. Doctors sometimes call it heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
What causes it?
The most common cause of diastolic heart failure is the natural effect of aging on the heart. As you age, your heart muscle tends to stiffen, which can prevent your heart from filling with blood properly, leading to diastolic heart failure.
But there are many health problems that can impair your left ventricle's ability to fill properly with blood during diastole.
What is it?
How it causes heart failure
|Coronary artery disease (CAD)
|Blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the heart
|Low blood flow to the heart muscle (ischemia) can prevent the heart from relaxing and filling with blood.
Elevated pressure in your arteries
|Heart muscle can thicken the wall of the heart (hypertrophy) in an effort to pump against high blood pressure. Thickened heart muscle limits the heart's ability to relax and fill with blood.
|Aortic stenosis
|Narrowed opening of the aortic valve
|The left ventricle thickens, limiting its ability to fill.
|Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
|Inherited abnormality of heart muscle resulting in very thick walls of the left ventricle
|Thick heart muscle prevents blood from filling the left ventricle.
|Pericardial disease
|Abnormality of the sac that surrounds the heart (pericardium)
|Fluid in the pericardial space (pericardial tamponade) or a thickened pericardium (pericardial constriction) can limit the heart's ability to fill.

DWD and Wolfman's are a great way to start off any show. Wolfman's was especially fun to hear Trey scrape his pick down the neck of the guitar in the beginning and also do the "telephone was ringing" part. Theme worked surprisingly well as an acoustic song. Meatstick was also lots of fun with Trey imploring the crowd to "sing it in Swahili...sing it in Swedish..Hebrew...etc." The musical highlights were definitely at the end though. Peggy is a nice little song that I'm surprised hasn't shown up at a Phish show yet. Russ took a nice flute solo. Hey Ya was just a ton of fun and pulled off surprisingly well by a bunch of Vermonters playing acoustic.
Electric Set
Ocelot (with horns!) through Jibboo was the best stretch of the early part of the set. The rest of the set was solid if not spectacular. Sweet & Dandy seemed a little more put together than previous versions I've heard. First Tube > Empire State of Mind was a great way to close the show. The Sultans of Swing encore was nice to hear... definitely one of TAB's better covers. All in all a fun show, but not nearly as musically adventurous as some other incarnations of TAB (particularly '02 and '06).

The jamming in Weekapaug and SOAM is top notch and the Bowie does some unique, dark things that we simply don't hear very often in the early days of this band. I'd recommend them all, in addition to a hilarious (impromptu?) Roll Like a Canteloupe and Harpua. Everything else is paint-by-numbers-1990, but some of the songs are finally starting to round into form (Reba, My Sweet One), and that's interesting to hear as well. So, of all the shows before the big spring Colorado tour, I'd recommend this one the most. The entirety of the show might not be to everyone's taste, but the highlights are more than enough to make up for it. I give this one 4 stars.

interview for SEVEN magazine in the UK, Aug 25, 2002
Hey Sage
I sent you an interview to this address last week but after speaking Tom
Duggan at Southern Records he suggested that I resend it so here you go. I'm
doing a small piece on you for the 'Buzz' section of 7 magazine but I'm also
writing a piece on white underground hip-hoppers in America - you, Aesop
Rock, Atmosphere, Copywrite, RjD2, Alias, Eyedea etc etc. So I would like to
be able to quote you for that article hense a few wider questions regarding
the underground scene.
"I am perpetually 32 years old"
Influences (musical or otherwise):
"hiphop, rock and roll, films, family, friends, tv, video games, poetry, pornography.
What did you do for money before rapping started paying off?
"I had a plethora of ODD jobs, but my last one was working at Ben and Jerry's. That was my favorite.
Were you happy with the response (commmercial and critical) you got from
'Personal Journals' in the States?
"Yes, I was."
There is a safety/comfort that I feel from listening to 'Personal Journals'.
What do you put that down to? (or is it just me - haha!)
"Some people have told me the exact opposite. It all depends on who is listening and with what kind of ear. There are many paths to take in that album. The destination may depend on your mindframe."
You seem to have a dark, intense side to your character - where do you think
that comes from? Have you exploited it for this album?
"I don't know why that side of me exists, but I can't remember it NOT being there. It was always there in my drawings and writings. Since pre-school. It really might be a genetic trait. I think I would be exploiting it if I made a gimmick out of it, but it's a little to real for me to capitalize on. I explore it. I want to believe there is a beauty in it. There were dark periods in my life that I tried to illustrate with some of the songs on the album, but I didn't intend for that to be the overall feel."
There are many references to depression on this album, what are the thoughts that scare you?
"Depression doesn't really have much to do with fear. In fact, sometimes depression is a complete LACK of fear. Maybe you've confused depression with anxiety, I don't know. As for things I'm scared of, I'll stay clear of answering that question."
Listening to this album the only connection to the hip hop mainstream
apppears to be the music form itself. Did you ever fall for hip hop as a
lifestyle i.e. all that bling bling, bitches and hoes, guns etc? Do you
feel any allegiance with that world?
"I was raised on hiphop. I do feel a sort of allegiance to many aspects of why I thought it was so great, which includes the 'bling bling' and gangster shit. Admittedly, it has all gotten silly and out of hand, but it has it's place. I loved NWA for fucking the police. I loved Slick Rick for blinging that 150 lbs of gold around his neck."
On RjD2's album Jakki raps, 'What the fuck is your definition of
underground/depressing beats and bleak cats who love the sound'. Is this a
fair comment on underground hip hop?
"Sure. It's not unfair to say. But that obviously doesn't accurately describe everyone in the underground."
Dr Dre said he was quitting rapping because 'can't talk about blunts and
lowriders anymore'. White rappers from middle class upbringings have never
really had those kind of experiences so is that why they tend to rap about
wider subject matter?
"Dr Dre is a brilliant man...and he is full of shit. And most of the middle class white boys you are asking about DO rap about that same bullshit because they are always trying to overcompensate. I've seen it time and time again...they don't have a wider range of material. But a good thing I can't overlook is a lot of rappers don't have the same expectations that Dr Dre has of his fans. He has enclosed himself in a box of creative limitations."
How important has the internet community been in gaining recognition and support
for you and other underground artists?
"It has been a great tool for making material available to the public. It gives the consumer much more control and that helps dope artists who wouldn't ordinarily have gotten publicity. In return, it hurts artists who are ALL publicity and no backbone. That's why major labels are always bitching and whining. It's a new world, fellas...good luck catching up."
What exactly did you do for the X-Games commercials. Was it a real money earner?
HAAaaa. yes. They paid me more money then I had ever had before. It helped me out of a tough situation. All I did was read poems in front of their cameras...I did a little writing and some acting. I just had to look pretty for the masses, because this face sells. Remember that. This face...sells."
What other creative outlets do you have?
"Writing. That's basically it. Writing and performing. Performing on stage, at the dinner table, in the bedroom. It's all entertainment."
What projects/collaborations are you working on at the moment?
"I am currently working on the Non-Prophets album with Joe Beats, which will be the next big CD release of mine. The Makeshift Patriot EP will be released in Feb. Beyond that, I am recording an EP with Buck 65 and DJ Signify, setting up a tour with a band, I have a song with Sole on his next album, and I've recorded a couple songs with Slug that will be on his next project."
What is your ultimate aim in life (musical or otherwise - apart from
finishing this interview haha)?
"I have already exceeded my goals. I'm just going wherever the wind takes me now. I have a good vision of the future. It all seems so predictable though. I'll do my best to thwart the obvious. I am proud to say that this music thing of mine will develop into something much bigger and better than anyone would have ever thought. You should have killed me last year."

Playing for just the second time in a span of 14 days, the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team takes on Houston Baptist for the second straight Saturday in a crucial Southland matchup at the American Bank Center. The contest will represent the Islanders' annual Homecoming game.
• Junior John Jordan moved into ninth on the all-time scoring list with his 22 points against Oral Roberts. He is just 23 points away from joining the 1,000-point club.
• With the Feb. 13 win over UCA, the Islanders clinched their first postseason berth since the 2009-10 season. A&M-Corpus Christi can clinch a first-round bye in the Southland Tournament with a win today.
• During conference season, the Islanders have posted 52 double-digit scoring efforts across eight players, including five players in double figures against Central Arkansas.
• Bench play has been a significant strength for A&M-Corpus Christi, averaging 30.1 points from the reserves, while the opposition averages just 17.0.
• Sophomore Brandon Pye is leading the Southland with his .710 3-point percentage in conference action, while his .534 overall mark is also best in the league and second nationally.
The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team fought off a hard effort from Houston Baptist to take a 66-61 victory on Saturday, improving to .500 (14-14, 11-4 Southland) for the first time since November with the win. Zane Knowles had a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds in the victory.
Hameed Ali led the Islanders with 13 points, while Brandon Pye chipped in 11. Four others scored at least seven points, with John Jordan scoring eight points with four assists and six rebounds. HBU (5-22, 2-13) had another strong effort at home, placing four players in double figures.
Freshman Rashawn Thomas was one of the most electrifying players for the Islanders over the summer, but the fates turned another direction for Thomas. The Oklahoma City native fractured his jaw on Nov. 7, the day before the Islanders' first game of the year against Huston-Tillotson. He missed the first nine games of the season.
Any doubts about the 6-foot-7 forward being tentative were instantly alleviated. Thomas missed his first two shots at Oklahoma, but converted his first career points at the 8:25 mark. By the time the dust had settled, the freshman had 12 points, 10 rebounds, three blocks and two steals. He became the first Islander freshman with a double-double in his debut since Corey Lamkin had 16 points and 15 rebounds vs. Sul Ross State on Nov. 16, 2001.
He has been on a roll the last five games. It started with his finest outing of his young career at UIW, going 7-for-10 from the floor for a career-best 21 points. He followed that with 20 points on 7-for-7 shooting, becoming the second Islanders player (Josh Ervin the other) to go 7-for-7 or better in a single game. He added a 7-for-9 performance on Thursday, making him 21-for-26 from the field over the three games. In league play, he is averaging 11.7 points and 5.9 rebounds.
Thomas was a McDonald's All-America nominee and was named City Player of the Year his senior season at Southeast HS.
John Jordan is only a junior for the Islanders basketball team, but he's the most experienced player on the roster and one of the front-runners for Southland Conference Player of the Year. The Houston native was named Preseason First Team All-Southland Conference by the league's coaches.
He leads the team and is eighth in the league with his 15.2 points per game, while his 5.2 assists are second. Despite his 5-foot-10 frame, he has also pulled in 4.7 boards per game. He has posted 20 points or more on nine occasions, five assists or more 16 times and at least five rebounds in 14 games this year.
He earned his first career weekly honor last Monday, as he was named Southland Player of the Week. He started the week with a solid 10 points and eight assists with just two turnovers in a win over UCA. He had a tremendous finish against Oral Roberts, scoring or assisting on 25 of the Islanders' final 26 points, scoring 22 in total to go with nine assists.
Jordan's place in Islanders lore is also reaching new heights. With his 20 points against New Orleans, he moved into the school's top 10 in points. He is also already in the Islanders career top-10 in rebounds, assists, minutes and steals. He is on pace to become the ninth player in school history to score 1,000 points in his career this season, needing to average 7.7 points in the remaining three regular-season games.
As of late, his presence as a distributor has been exceptional. He has averaged 6.9 assists over the last seven games and has a 2.2 assist-to-turnover ratio in that time.
Jordan broke the school record with 138 assists as a freshman, then bested his own mark with 159 as a sophomore. His 141 dimes this year are second in school history, giving him the top three assist totals in Islanders lore. He is closing on Brian Evans' career record of 493.
The victory against UCA officially clinched a spot in the 2014 Southland Conference Basketball Tournament. It will mark the Islanders' first trip to the postseason in Willis Wilson's tenure and the first trip to Katy since the 2009-10 campaign. The Islanders advanced to the semifinals of the event in 2008-09 and 2009-10 in addition to winning the Tournament in 2006-07.
Since the Islanders' last trip to the Southland Conference Tournament, the league has changed the format slightly. The third- and fourth-place teams each receive a first-round bye, while the top two squads receive a two-round bye all the way to the semifinals. The Islanders can clinch a bye with a win tonight, and are still in the running for a number two seed.
The tournament is set up for women's games to be played in the morning and afternoon, with men's games in the evening, at 5 and 7:30 p.m. at the Merrell Center. Tickets in the Islanders section can be purchased by calling 825-BALL (2255).
The Islanders' most physically notable player is, without question, senior Zane Knowles. The native of Nassau, Bahamas, stands 6-foot-10 and 240 pounds and has shown he can be a force inside for the Islanders this year.
He showed up in a big way in the season opener, scoring 12 points and snaring 18 rebounds for his first career double-double. The 18 rebounds matched the second-highest total in school history, and were the most for an Islander since Corey Lamkin grabbed 18 at Air Force on Jan. 21, 2004. He has posted six double-doubles on the season.
His finest performance came at McNeese State, as he went 8-for-9 from the field, scoring 16 points and snaring nine rebounds. He had a quiet offensive day at Nicholls, but grabbed 10 boards in the win, then followed that up with his fifth double-double against Southeastern, posting 11 points and 11 boards.
After combining for just 10 points and one rebound in two games the prior week, he was tremendous a week ago. He posted 14 points on 7-of-9 shooting and added nine boards against UCA, then followed that up with his sixth double-double of the year, with 12 points and 11 rebounds against ORU. He made it back-to-back double-doubles with a workmanlike effort at HBU, finishing with 10 and 11.
Knowles is fourth in the conference with his team-leading 7.5 rebounds per game. He is second in the Southland in field goal percentage, shooting .595. In conference games, he has hit 70 percent of his shots from the field, the best mark in the Southland.
As a junior in 2012-13, he averaged 5.3 points and 4.0 rebounds. He came to the Islanders after a year at Pearl River (Miss.) Community College and a season at Grambling.
In the victory over UCA, the Islanders went 33-for-50 from the field to shoot .660 in the contest. It marked the second-highest field-goal percentage in school history, and the best since going 43-for-64 (.672) against Huston-Tillotson on Feb. 22, 2006. It was the highest field-goal percentage against a Division I program in school history.
The Islanders have shot better than 50 percent from the field in each of the last four games, and in five of the last six. The Islanders are shooting .506 from the field – the league's best mark in conference play – up from .430 in non-conference affairs.
With that has come an increase in scoring output. A&M-Corpus Christi has topped 70 points in 12 of its 15 conference contests, up from just five in 11 non-conference matchups. The Islanders have registered two wins this season – at Lamar and at HBU – in which they have failed to reach 70 points.
It was a tough offseason for Hameed Ali. The junior suffered a hip injury, had surgery and was unable to play basketball from April to October. He was unable to play during the team's foreign tour in Italy, and the staff even considered redshirting him this season.
But the junior who started 29 games a season ago was not to be kept off the court. Ali had two decent performances the first two games of the season, as he got his feel for the game back, then exploded in the Holiday Inn Downtown Marina Tournament. He was named to the all-tournament team after averaging 14.0 points in the three-game affair. A week later, he scored a career-high 21, going 8-for-12 from the field, at UTSA.
He has had several strong performances lately. He had an outstanding night against Central Arkansas, going 5-for-6 from the field and 5-for-6 from the line for 16 points. Against HBU, he went 6-for-10 from the field, leading the team with 13 points.
His calling card during his Islanders career has been offensive efficiency, where he has 117 assists to 66 turnovers in the last two years. He usually serves as the team's point guard when John Jordan is on the bench. Ali has entered the Islanders' career top 10 with 164 assists.
Another key for the team has been the contributions from its bench. In league play, A&M-Corpus Christi has seen its bench outscore the opposition in every game but one, totaling 451 points (30.1 per game) to the opponents' 255 (17.0).
The Islanders' second-, third- and fifth-leading scorers have all come off the bench. Rashawn Thomas leads the way with 11.7 as a reserve, while Joy Williamson (8.4) and Jake Kocher (7.8) are just behind. Brandon Pye (7.9) only recently broke into the top four to represent the starting lineup. The Islanders have outscored 12 of their 15 conference opponents in bench points.
The Islanders' 10-4 start in league play can be attributed to a more efficient offense that is seeing a total team effort. In the 14 league games, the team has seen a total of 52 double-digit scoring efforts distributed over eight different players. (See chart below for more information.) Those eight are all averaging over 6.0 points per game.
Against Northwestern State, A&M-Corpus Christi put six players in double figures, led by John Jordan's 22. It marked the first time that the team has had six players finish with 10 points or more since Nov. 16, 2006, the season opener of the team's Southland Championship season.
Contrast that to last year in league play, when John Jordan and Will Nelson combined to average 28.4 points – 46.6 percent of the Islanders' offensive production. This year, Jordan and Rashawn Thomas are combining for 26.9, but that is just 36.3 percent of the offense.
Among all the impressive stats that the Islanders racked up in the conference-opening win at UCA, perhaps none was more telling than the fact that the team piled up 50 points in the paint. Northwestern State provided another stellar inside performance, with nine players recording points in the paint for a total of 48. Of the 77 points scored at McNeese, 42 came in the paint. They added 42 in the paint at UIW and 40 against UCA.
The Islanders have had at least 20 points in the paint in each of the last 23 contests and are averaging 35.7 in league play.
The overtime game against Oral Roberts was the first OT game of the year for the Islanders, and the first since the 2011-12 season, when they fell 86-82 to UTSA. It marked the Islanders' first OT victory since a 58-55 win vs. Utah State on Nov. 22, 2011. All-time, the Islanders are 13-6 in overtime.

Yvonne Schwartz has never met a yoga class she didn't enjoy.
"I have never left a yoga class wishing I didn't go. I have, however, stayed home from a class and wished I had gone," she said.
With her deep and abiding love for the discipline, Schwartz has found a wonderful home in Eagle as the new owner of Yoga Off Broadway. She took over operation of the yoga studio last month.
As its name suggests, Yoga Off Broadway is nestled into a downtown Eagle neighborhood. The studio is located at Fifth and McIntire, the former location of Fusion home furnishings. The studio opened at the site in November of 2011 after literally outgrowing its former digs on Third Street, just a half block off Broadway.
"I love working here and the people I meet every day. If feel really connected to our community," said Schwartz.
She noted that Yoga Off Broadway is a very comprehensive operation with something for everyone.
"We have tons of options for people with injuries, people who are older and even people who have never done yoga before. We serve all ages, all abilities," said Schwartz.
A glance at the studio schedule shows class titles ranging from "Power Yoga" and "Hot Yoga" to "Yoga for Stiff People" and "Gentle Yoga." That reflects the reality of practice, said Schwartz.
"The most common misconception about yoga is that you have to be flexible to do it," she said. "In fact, some of the people who began by saying, 'I can't do this,' are the ones standing on their heads three months later."
Schwartz noted beyond its physicality, yoga also brings its practitioners enhanced relaxation and peace of mind.
"It is a spiritual practice and it allows you to take that into your religious beliefs," she said. "It is a very personal practice."
It is also a very popular practice. Just as the nation is seeing a yoga boom, Eagle residents have embraced the discipline. Schwartz said Yoga Off Broadway currently has approximately 450 students on file and an average of 350 students per month in classes. But the operation still has room to grow.
During September, Yoga Off Broadway is offering a new student special - $50 for eight classes. The classes can be taken at any time, but the price only lasts through the end of this month.
"That's a great way to get into the discipline. It takes about eight classes for someone to get hooked on yoga," said Schwartz.
As the only free-standing studio in the community, Schwartz said Yoga Off Broadway not only offers a variety of classes, but also offers classes seven days a week during morning, afternoon and evening hours. The instructor corps numbers nine and includes three male teachers.
"We have a large number of men who have taken up yoga," said Schwartz. "They are finding out that yoga improves flexibility and athletic performance and improves health."
Schwartz added that along with yoga instruction, the studio offers free mats for students to use and some yoga supplies for purchase.
"We have great students here and I know every single one of them by name," she said. "With nine different teachers, you are going to find someone who meshes with you."

The Diamond Peak Ski Team's J4/5 athletes displayed their racing prowess at the Far West J4/5 Championships at Northstar last month, as Winston Pretti took top honors for the J4 men and Julia Holm won the J5 women's title.
And that wasn't all. Diamond Peak J4 Belle Johnson finished second for the J4 ladies and Casey Delaney was fourth for the J4 men, while Rachel Delaney and Emily Donahue both placed 14th for J5 and J4 ladies, respectively.
Only two boys out of the entire Western Division stood on the podium twice in the three core events, and that was Delaney, who finished second in the super G and giant slalom, and Pretti, who was third in the GS and second in the slalom.
Delaney's efforts earned him the Allan Cup, which is awarded to the best J4 boy and girl who finished all three races, slalom, GS and super G.
Holm proved her stamina again as she put down multiple clean runs, taking fourth in both the GS and slalom and fifth in the super G.
The fourth and final day of the J4/5 Championships concluded with a fun Dual Kombi made up of stubbies, brushes, mushrooms and gates with racers decked out in costumes, wigs and fancy pants trying to choose the best pair of skis to match the crazy course.

- Silicon Valley real estate magnate facing charges in suspected sexual abuse of wife
SAN JOSE -- The sexual assault case against a prominent Silicon Valley business mogul came to an abrupt halt Wednesday, when instead of answering questions about how Clyde Berg allegedly chained her to a bed for two days and sexually assaulted her with a golf putter, his wife stood up from the witness stand in tears and strode out of the courtroom.
"I'm going to have to ask to be excused,'' Ellena Berg said. Then, without waiting for permission from the judge, the tall, thin woman with a drawn white face and ramrod-straight posture quickly left. A few moments later, she walked out of the courthouse.
The departure of the 37-year-old woman astonished veteran lawyers and Judge Ron Del Pozzo, who said he had never seen a witness storm out of court while under oath.
But because he had seen "complaining witnesses'' become too upset to continue testifying, the judge gave Ellena Berg until Thursday at 1:30 p.m. to return.
The continuance also will give prosecutors a chance to explain the consequences of her actions to the Swedish native, he said. Without Ellena Berg's testimony, the prosecution against Clyde Berg, 74, cannot proceed, primarily because it is a he-said, she-said case that relies heavily on her account.
''If she doesn't show up...a motion to dismiss would likely be granted,'' said Del Pozzo, who must decide during the current preliminary hearing whether there is enough evidence to hold Clyde Berg over for trial.
Prosecutors could refile if new evidence turned up.
Police call
Clyde Berg is charged with two felony counts -- corporal punishment of a spouse and penetration by a foreign object while the victim is tied and bound -- that carry a sentence of more than 15 years to life.
The charges came after police responded to a 911 call last fall from Ellena Berg who was nine months pregnant at the time. Sheriff's deputies found her tied up in a bedroom of the couple's spacious home overlooking the fourth hole at the San Jose Country Club. She was able to call police, she said, by retrieving a pre-paid phone she had hidden under her mattress.
After the bizarre incident, she filed a 43-page civil lawsuit seeking punitive damages and claiming that he physically and sexually abused her throughout the 10 years of their marriage. The two met when she was working as an au pair for a local family.
But Clyde Berg has contended that he is a victim of a greedy scam aimed at getting around a restrictive prenuptial agreement and that his wife has mental problems. He is free on $3 million bail, released after a judge expressed some skepticism about how Ellena Berg managed to call 911 with her hands cuffed behind her back
Clyde Berg is the brother and business partner of billionaire Carl Berg, one of the richest people in the United States. The brothers developed campuses for many of the valley's signature companies and recently sold their firm for $1.3 billion.
Wednesday's dramatic developments began after Ellena Berg testified that she was the one who offered to get documents out of her safe deposit box to give to her husband the day before he allegedly assaulted her. In her civil suit, she alleges he forced her to get the documents.
Prosecutor Alison Filo then gently asked Ellena Berg if she remembered what happened the next day, Sept. 5, when Berg allegedly thrust a revolver into her face while she was nine months pregnant, outfitted her with a spiked dog collar and leash, and lashed her to the bed.
There was a long silence. Then Ellena Berg said she wasn't feeling well and was "incredibly scared.'' Filo, a veteran prosecutor known for her ability to gently elicit testimony from children and other victims of sexual assault, tried to assure her that she was "safe now.''
"I feel an overwhelming sense of paralysis and shame,'' Ellena Berg responded, dissolving into tears before walking out of the courtroom. "I am so very shamed I couldn't do more for my daughter.''
Respected rights
The judge called for a break and about 20 minutes later, Filo told the court that Ellena Berg is "terrified and convinced that great harm will come to her and no one can protect her.'' In her lawsuit, Ellena Berg alleged that her husband used his wealth and power "as a weapon of mass destruction,'' including having her committed twice. He has said he did so out of concern for her safety because she constantly wrote emails threatening to commit suicide.
Allen Ruby, one of Clyde Berg's lawyers, argued against a continuance, noting that Ellena Berg is highly educated, fluent in English and "very savvy.''
"This is a witness who has made the most inflammatory and vile accusations,'' Ruby said. "Cross-examination will show she has been a deeply troubled individual throughout her entire life.''
But Del Pozzo said that victims rights have to be respected. However, he called Ellena Berg a victim only once. Then the judge carefully corrected himself out loud, referring to her from then on as a "complaining witness,'' indicating it is still unclear whether the horrific events she described actually occurred.
