Predictors of suicidal behaviour in 36,304 individuals sickness absent due to stress-related mental disorders - a Swedish register linkage cohort study
Environmental and occupational health
Stress-related mental disorders (SRMD), which correspond to the diagnostic code F43 in the International Classification of Diseases, version 10, rank among the leading causes of sickness absence in several European countries. Despite the size of this health problem, research on risk factors for severe medical outcomes, like suicidal behavior, is lacking to date. The aim of this study was to investigate predictors of suicide attempt and suicide among sickness absentees with SRMD.
A cohort of 36,304 non-retired individuals, aged 16–64 years on 31.12.2004, with at least one sickness absence spell due to SRMD, initiated in 2005, was followed up with regard to suicide attempt (2006–2009) and suicide (2006–2008). Univariate and multivariate hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated for a number of predictors.
During the follow-up period, 266 individuals attempted suicide and 34 committed suicide. In the multivariate analyses, the following factors increased the risk of suicide attempt: =< 25 years of age, low educational level, lone parenthood, > 1 sickness absence spell, long duration of the first spell of sickness absence due to SRMD (> 180 days), > 4 and > 8 days of inpatient care due to somatic or mental diagnoses (2000–2005), and > 4 and > 1 outpatient visits due to somatic or mental diagnoses (2001–2005), respectively. Hazard ratios ranged from 1.4 to 4.2. Health care due to mental diagnoses and > 1 spell of sickness absence regardless of diagnosis were predictive of suicide.
Several predictors related to socio-demographics, sickness absence and health-care consumption were identified as risk factors for suicidal behavior. Consideration of these risk factors is of both clinical and public health importance.
Sickness absence due to stress-related mental disorders
Sickness absence due to mental disorders, particularly stress-related mental disorders, has increased in a number of European countries over the last 20 years, and currently comprises one of the major diagnostic groups among all cases of sickness absence
Identifying risk individuals in time in order to prevent suicidal behavior is of utmost clinical and public health interest. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the extent to which socio-demographic factors, as well as factors related to sickness absence and health-care consumption, predicted suicidal behavior in individuals sickness absent due to SRMD
The study was designed as a prospective cohort study by linking Swedish register data. All people 16 to 64 years-old on 31.12.2004 and registered in Sweden who initiated at least one sickness absence spell due to a stress-related mental disorder (SRMD) in 2005 (N= 38,870) comprised the study base. We excluded 2059 and 265 individuals who were on disability and old-age pension before 2005, respectively, and two further individuals who were erroneously coded as dead before 2005. Also, individuals with missing information on educational status (N=41), or on the length of the first sickness absence spell due to SRMD initiated in 2005 (N=201), were excluded. This left 36,304 individuals (26,315 women and 9,989 men) to be included in the study.
The following register data sources were used for all the individuals in the study: 1) Statistics Sweden: Longitudinal Integration Database for Health Insurance and Labour Market Studies (LISA), which includes socio-demographic information on age, sex, country of birth, place of residence, family situation and educational status; 2) the National Board of Health and Welfare: (i) the National Patient Register, which includes information on dates and diagnoses for inpatient and outpatient care, (ii) the Cause of Death Register, with data on dates and causes of death; 3) the Social Insurance Agency (SIA): Micro-Data for Analyses of Social Insurance (MiDAS), with information on date, grade and diagnosis of sickness absence and disability pension. The linkages were based on the unique personal numbers (de-identified) of all residents in Sweden.
The Swedish social insurance system
All people above the age of 16, living in Sweden, with an income from work or unemployment benefit, who – due to disease or injury have a reduced work capacity – are covered by national sickness insurance and can receive sickness benefit
Diagnostic criteria
All diagnoses related to risk factors and outcomes were based on the corresponding codes of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) in ICD 10. The definition of stress-related mental disorders in sickness absence spells was based on the corresponding ICD 10 Code F43.
Measures of risk factors
Baseline socio-demographic characteristics from the LISA database were measured at the end of 2004 and categorized as shown in Table
Categorisation of health care variables was based on the diagnosis-specific median number of days and number of visits in inpatient (2000–2005) and outpatient care (2001–2005) (four variables). The median length of hospital stays due to mental and somatic diagnoses were 8 and 4 days, respectively, while the median numbers of visits in outpatient care due to mental and somatic diagnoses were one and four, respectively.
Measurement of outcome
Individuals with inpatient care due to ICD-10 codes X60-X84 were regarded as cases of suicide attempt. We considered only the first suicide attempt during the follow-up period. People with similar ICD codes in the Cause of Death register were considered as cases of suicide.
Statistical analysis
Cox proportional hazard regression models were applied after ensuring that the proportional hazard assumption was met. With regard to suicide attempt, individuals were followed from 01.01. 2006 to the date of inpatient care due to suicide attempt, death, emigration, or 31.12. 2009, whichever came first. With regard to suicide, follow-up was from 01.01. 2006 to the date of suicide, death by other causes than suicide, emigration, or 31.12. 2008, whichever came first. Hazard ratios for suicide attempt and suicide were estimated with 95% confidence intervals. The multivariate models included both significant predictors and significant confounders.
The partial likelihood ratio test was used to test for possible interactions between risk factors and to test the predictive value of variables in case of collinearity. Attributable proportions (APs) were estimated as follows: AP= (HR-1)/HR*f, where f denotes the proportion exposed to the various risk factors in all who attempted or committed suicide
Ethical considerations
The study population was based on several linked public national registers, derived from three different authorities. Ethical vetting is always required when using register data in Sweden. The vetting is performed by regional ethical review boards, and a risk appraisal associated with the Law on Public Disclosure and Secrecy is performed by data owners. The ethical review boards can, however, waive the requirement to consult the data subjects (or, in case of minors/children, next of kin, carers or guardians) directly to obtain their informed consent, and will often do so if the research is supported by an ethical review board and the data have already been collected in some other context. This project was evaluated and approved, according to these standards, by the Regional Ethical Review Board of Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
In total, the 36,304 individuals contributed 143,836 person-years for suicide attempt and 108,520 person-years for suicide during the follow-up periods. The mean follow-up time was 3.96 years (standard deviation, SD: 0.33) for suicide attempt and 2.99 years (SD: 0.16) for suicide. With regard to suicide methods, out of the 34 suicides (0.1%), 17 (50%) were due to poisoning, and 12 (35%) to hanging. A majority (94%) of the 266 (0.7%) suicide attempts were due to poisoning.
With regard to the health care characteristics, most of the individuals did not have any inpatient care due to either mental (96.5%) or somatic diagnoses (70.6%) between 2000 and 2005. At their first inpatient care stay due to a mental diagnosis in 2005, nearly half (43%) of the individuals had SRMD as a main diagnosis; 14% had a mental and behavioural disorder due to use of alcohol (ICD-10 code F10), and 16% a depressive episode (ICD-10 code F32) (data not shown).
The majority (90.9%) of the study population did not have any health care visits in specialized outpatient care due to a mental diagnosis (2001–2005). At the first outpatient care visit due to a mental disorder in 2005, the main diagnosis was a stress-related mental disorder in 50% of cases, while 16% and 13% of the individuals had a main diagnosis of a depressive episode and an anxiety disorder, respectively (data not shown). A considerable proportion of the individuals had made up to four health care visits (44.7%), or more than four health care visits (31%), due to somatic diagnoses (Table
Suicide attempt and risk factors
Most of the covariates were found to be significantly associated with suicide attempt in univariate analyses; the exceptions were sex, country of birth, and place of residence (Table
In the multivariate model, people who had taken more than 365 days of sick leave due to SRMD during the first spell initiated in 2005 showed more than twice the risk of suicide attempt of people who had only 1–14 days of sickness absence (Table
The adjusted HR and AP were 4.15 (95% CI 2.84–6.06) and 4.59, respectively, for individuals who had more than eight hospital days due to mental diagnoses during the years 2000 through 2005, compared with individuals who did not have any hospital stay (Table
Suicide and risk factors
Male gender, young age, being single without children living at home, having two sick leave spells regardless of diagnosis and diagnosis-specific inpatient and outpatient health care were found to be significantly associated with suicide in the univariate analyses (Table
Young age, low education, lone parenthood, increasing numbers of days and spells of sickness absence, and inpatient and outpatient care due to mental and somatic diagnoses were predictive of suicide attempt in individuals who were sickness absent due to stress-related mental disorders. Previous and on-going inpatient and outpatient health care due to mental diagnoses and having two compared with only one spell of sickness absence predicted completed suicide.
To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to investigate predictors of suicide attempt and suicide among individuals with sickness absence due to stress-related mental disorders. The main strength of the study lies in the large data set that covers the whole Swedish population using register data of good quality
The limitations of the study should also be mentioned, which include the limited power of the study with regard to the multivariate analysis of suicide as outcome. Another issue is the validity of sickness absence diagnoses, which is often discussed. A previous Swedish study, however, judged the validity of sickness absence diagnoses to be good
Since only the main diagnosis is recorded for any sickness absence spell in the Social Insurance Agency's register, we have missed individuals with a stress-related mental disorder as a secondary diagnosis. Also, we could not adjust for other mental and somatic diagnoses as comorbidities involved in the cases of sickness absence. Comorbid diagnoses are established predictors of suicidal behaviour
In this study, we only considered cases of suicide attempt recorded in inpatient care. A study in Sweden has reported that approximately 47% of suicide attempters in the general population do not seek medical care after their suicide attempt
Socio-demographic factors
We found that young age, low education and living alone with children were associated with an increased risk of suicide attempt, which is consistent with the findings of previous studies of the general population and of patients with mental disorders in other treatment settings
Sickness absence characteristics
The risk of attempting suicide was found to increase with increasing duration of sick leave and number of spells. Also, having 2 spells of sick leave, regardless of diagnosis, increased the risk of suicide more than two-fold. We have not been able to find any previous studies analysing the relation between frequency and duration of sickness absence spells and the risk of suicide attempt or suicide in individuals sickness absent due to stress-related mental disorders. Our findings are consistent with previous reports showing a 6-fold increased risk of suicide if there is more than one sick leave spell due to a psychiatric diagnosis after adjusting for age, gender, occupational grade, and sickness absence due to other diagnoses
Duration and number of spells of sick leave may not solely be measures of the recurrence, severity and chronicity of the disorder
Inpatient and outpatient health care
Long hospital stays and frequent outpatient care visits due to mental diagnoses were found to be strongly associated with suicidal behaviour among individuals on sick leave due to SRMD. Although length of inpatient care due to mental diagnoses per se has been linked to an increased suicide risk
Young age, low education, lone parenthood, long and frequent sickness absence spells and inpatient and outpatient care due to somatic and mental diagnoses are predictive of suicide attempt in individuals sickness absent due to stress-related mental disorders. With regard to suicide completion, frequent sickness absence spells, and also inpatient and outpatient care due to mental disorders turned out to be risk factors. It is of public health and clinical importance to be aware of these risk factors when designing strategies to prevent suicidal behavior in individuals on sick leave due to stress-related mental disorders. These findings have particular importance in primary health care settings, where the vast majority of sickness certification due to stress-related mental disorders takes place.

Michael Stephenson
Senior Attorney
Michael Stephenson's legal skills have been praised in open court by both state and federal judges, by opposing lawyers, and, of course, by his clients and their families. He is himself a skilled cyclist and is an expert at proving liability and damages in cases where a cyclist has been injured. In his spare time, he volunteers as a legal counsel for bicycle advocacy groups in California, including California Bicycle Coalition, San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, and others.
Mr. Stephenson has extensive trial experience and began his career trying misdemeanor cases in Oregon as a public defender in 2007. Prior to that, he was awarded "Most Outstanding Trial Advocate" at the American Trial Lawyers Association's (now The American Association for Justice) West Coast Regional Trial Championships. As an expert trial lawyer, he has also volunteered his time as a Trial Practice Coach, instructing law students in trial-lawyer techniques at the UC Berkeley School of Law, one of the Top 10 law schools in the United States. Mr. Stephenson's success as a trial lawyer puts pressure on insurance companies to settle cases early to avoid having to go toe-to toe with him in a courtroom. Insurance companies know that if a case proceeds to trial, they face the high likelihood that they will lose and be forced to pay all the additional court and attorney fees on top of the amounts paid to the injured cyclist.
Prior to founding Bay Area Bicycle Law, Mr. Stephenson worked for Davis Wright Tremaine (DWT), one of the top 100 law firms in the United States, at its Portland, Oregon office. During his time at DWT, he worked on many high-profile lawsuits involving some of the largest companies in the United States. He left DWT in January of 2010 to return to the San Francisco Bay Area and work exclusively on behalf of cyclists.
Mr. Stephenson's legal writings have been featured in the Portland Business Journal, the State Bar Litigation Journal, the State Bar Professional Liability Newsletter, Davis Wright Tremaine client advisories, and other publications.
Mr. Stephenson graduated top of his class with Honors at the University of Oregon Law School and was a Managing Editor of the prestigious Law Review. During law school he was also an extern for the Honorable Ann Aiken, the Chief Federal Judge of the United States District Court for the Oregon District Federal Court. Mr. Stephenson was awarded the law school's "Pro Bono Award" in recognition of his substantial volunteer legal work in defending low-income clients in hearings and jury trials in state court. Mr. Stephenson earned his Bachelor's degree in three years at Brown University, Rhode Island.
Michelle Weiss
Managing Attorney
Michelle Weiss' litigation and courtroom advocacy has received praise from clients and opposing counsel alike. A cyclist herself, Ms. Weiss's career is devoted to assisting injured cyclists and helping to make the roads of California safer.
Ms. Weiss has tried numerous cases, including having first chaired a recent trial victory in San Francisco Superior Court wherein she returned with a verdict multiple times the Defendant's top settlement offer. Ms. Weiss also heads pre-trial negotiations and mediations, prepares pre-trial motions and trial briefs for numerous cases, works extensively with accident-reconstruction and medical experts, and regularly conducts/defends client and witness depositions.
Ms. Weiss loves working as a personal injury attorney. An accident is a painful and traumatic event and unfortunately, insurance companies take advantage of unrepresented individuals by unjustly denying their claims or severely undervaluing their injuries. Full of energy and enthusiasm, Ms. Weiss enjoys a good fight and helping hurt cyclists navigate an insurance system designed to promote profits over helping negligently injured individuals. And as someone that commutes to work by bike, Ms. Weiss enjoys helping cyclists in particular — a group that is generally under-represented and especially vulnerable on the roads.
Having been an active participant in debate and mock trial throughout school, Ms. Weiss thoroughly enjoys advocating for others. One of those rare individuals who likes bartering, Ms. Weiss is highly involved in her cases and prides herself on negotiating the greatest settlement possible for her clients. Intellectually curious, Ms. Weiss takes as many continuing education courses as possible and has received extensive training in litigating traumatic brain injuries — an important issue considering the prevalence of head injuries in cycling accidents.
Ms. Weiss speaks fluent German and Chinese, having lived in both Germany and China. In her free time, Michelle enjoys samba dancing, learning languages, fitness, traveling, and reading. Despite having taken Chinese lessons twice per week and working as a fitness instructor throughout law school, Michelle graduated in the top quarter of her class from Santa Clara University. During law school, Michelle was active in moot court and was assistant coach to the international arbitration moot court team.
Lucy Allen
Associate Attorney
Lucy Allen first began investigating bicycle accidents and assisting injured cyclists in 2012, and is now an Associate with Bay Area Bicycle Law. She has a law degree from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law, one of the top 10 law schools in the country.
Before joining Bay Area Bicycle Law, Lucy defended Northern California's forest ecosystems and worked on cases involving the Equal Access to Justice Act and the Freedom of Information Act. Her legal work has included drafting an amicus curiae brief to the California Supreme Court. In law school, she worked for a number of public interest organizations, received numerous awards including an American Jurisprudence award, served as Publishing Editor for the Ecology Law Quarterly, and served as a student supervisor for a Student-Initiated Legal Services Project. Upon graduating she was awarded a Berkeley Law Public Interest Fellowship.
Kyle Smith
Associate Attorney
Kyle R. Smith has been riding a bike since 1989 and practicing law since 2013. As an avid cyclist himself Mr. Smith focuses his practice on representing injured cyclists and making the Bay Area a safer place for biking. Outside of his legal practice he serves as a member of the Berkeley Public Works Commission, working to improve roads and paths for bicycle travel.
Mr. Smith graduated from Santa Clara University School of Law where he was Lead Business Development Editor of the High Tech Law Journal and the Student Bar Association Vice President. Inside the classroom he focused his coursework on civil litigation and was named to the Dean's List. Beyond the classroom he provided over 300 hours of pro bono services through the Alexander Community Law Center, representing plaintiffs in workers rights suits for unpaid wages and discrimination.
Mr. Smith began his career as a defense attorney and has represented clients ranging from individuals to Fortune 500 companies in state and federal court in individual and class actions. His extensive inside knowledge from years working with insurance companies enables him to get inside the mind of the defendant insurance companies and get the results his clients deserve.
Mr. Smith is lead volunteer staff for California YMCA Youth and Government, a model legislature and court program for high school students where he trains the next generation of attorneys. He instructs teens in reading court cases to understand the constitution and civil rights through established legal precedent then craft oral arguments to be delivered in court.

ATLANTA (AP) Federal prosecutors plan to seek a superseding indictment against the personal doctor to pro wrestler Chris Benoit, according to a court filing late Tuesday.
The filing in U.S. District Court in Atlanta says that prosecutors have advised an attorney for Dr. Phil Astin that they will present the case to a grand jury for a second time "after a more thorough review" of documents seized from Astin's office in west Georgia during two raids by federal drug agents.
"During the searches, agents seized thousands of pages of patient files and office records, as well as several computers that were used in defendant's medical practice," the court filing says. "Presently, the government is reviewing these records to make a preliminary determination of which files contain no evidentiary value and can be returned to defendant."
The filing does not say what charges will be sought in the superseding indictment or when the indictment will be sought. Astin was charged last week with improperly prescribing medication to two patients, but not to Benoit. Prosecutors said at the time more charges were possible.
The comments about a planned superseding indictment were contained in a filing in which Astin's attorney and the government were seeking more time to file pretrial motions and to turn over materials to each other.
Meanwhile, some of the chemical tests on the bodies of Benoit, his wife and son have been completed, but officials were mum Tuesday on what the results show.
A spokesman for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, John Bankhead, told The Associated Press that his agency was waiting for all the tests to be complete before sharing the results with investigators in Fayette County.
"We're going to discuss what we find with local investigators and they can determine what they want to release," Bankhead said.
District Attorney Scott Ballard did not immediately return a page to his cellphone seeking comment.
Police have said Benoit strangled his wife and son, placing Bibles next to the bodies, and then hung himself on a piece of exercise equipment in his suburban Atlanta home the weekend of June 22.
Authorities found anabolic steroids in Benoit's home, leading officials to wonder whether the drugs played a role in the killings. Some experts believe steroids can cause paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as "roid rage."
Since the deaths, toxicology tests have been conducted on Benoit's body to determine if steroids or other drugs were present. Blood-alcohol tests also were conducted on his body, and chemical tests were conducted on the bodies of the wife and son, Bankhead said. The wife's body was decomposed, preventing some tests on her body from being done, though Bankhead declined to be specific.
The GBI has been handling the testing for general drugs and alcohol, while an outside lab was hired to do the testing for steroids, Bankhead said. He declined to name the lab or say which of the tests have been completed.
"There is going to be some interpretation of what was found," Bankhead said, without elaborating.
A federal agent's affidavit said Astin prescribed a 10-month supply of anabolic steroids to Benoit every three to four weeks between May 2006 and May 2007. It says that during a probe called "RX Weight Loss," Benoit was identified as an excessive purchaser of injectable steroids.
The affidavit also says that "Astin has been the subject of concern for excessive and/or suspicious prescribing activity by the Carrollton, Ga. Police Department and local area pharmacies."
Authorities have not said what "RX Weight Loss" refers to.
Astin has told the AP he prescribed testosterone for Benoit, a longtime friend, in the past but has not said what, if any, medications he prescribed when Benoit visited his office June 22, the day authorities believe Benoit killed his wife.
Astin pleaded not guilty at his first court appearance. His lawyer, Manny Arora, told AP on Monday that Astin has no plans at this time to change his plea to guilty, but he didn't rule out the idea down the road. A pretrial hearing in Astin's case is set for July 19, though that could be postponed now that both sides have asked for more time for discovery.
Arora said Tuesday he expects the superseding indictment to contain new charges against Astin of improperly prescribing medication to more patients, though he did not know whether that would include Benoit.
"He knows it's going to be a tough fight," Arora said of his client. "If Chris Benoit hadn't been involved, this wouldn't have been a case."
Arora said the case is going to come down to "medical experts deciding whether his conduct met medical standards or whether he was abusing his discretion in prescribing these pills."
A sheriff's official said Friday that Astin also is being investigated in the February 2006 death of another wrestler, Michael Durham. Ballard has not returned calls seeking comment on the status of that case.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (Reuters) Mattel (MAT) won a court case against MGA Entertainment on Thursday over which toymaker owns the $1 billion-plus Bratz fashion doll franchise.
A nine-member federal jury in California found the creator of the multi-ethnic, big-headed dolls, Carter Bryant, created their characters and the name while he was under contract as a Barbie designer at Mattel.
The decision put Mattel in commanding position going into the damages phase of the trial, which begins July 23.
Other than the four drawings that Bryant testified that he made in a notebook while on an eight-month hiatus from Mattel in 1998, privately held MGA lost the rights to all drawings and "sculpts" of the Bratz.
While the verdict is a blow for MGA, it can say in the damages phase that Mattel has no rights to the dolls themselves because they are different from the drawings and were made by MGA designers.
The jury also found that MGA Chief Executive Isaac Larian had interfered with Mattel's contractual relationship with Bryant and that both he and his company were liable for "conversion," the term used for industrial theft.
Mattel had no immediate comment.
Larian also had made no comment, but shook his head after the verdict form had been read in its entirety.

Sanderson is wrestling with perfection
By Gary Mihoces, USA TODAY
The time has passed for counting up Cael Sanderson's college
wrestling victories. With the Iowa State senior at 154-0, the countdown has
He's down to five more matches, Thursday through Saturday,
at the NCAA Division I championships in Albany, N.Y. If he wins them all, he'll
become just the second four-time champion in Division I wrestling history
the first with a perfect record.
Sanderson, in the 197-pound class this season after winning
three titles at 184, bears the weight of huge expectations. But his theme in
Albany is continuity.
"I'm keeping everything the same. I'm not changing anything
up," he says. "This is just like my first NCAA tournament. I'm going into it
with the same attitude."
Yet so many things around him are different from his first
season. In a sport fighting for survival at the college level and accustomed
to scant media attention amid basketball's March Madness, he is a rare kind
of celebrity. A crew from Iowa Public Television has followed him through every
match this season for a documentary premiering March 31. He's been profiled
on ESPN Classic. Babies in Iowa have been named after him. He's done teleconferences
to accommodate requests for interviews.
"Cael's main focus is not the media. But he understands
he's making history," Iowa State coach Bobby Douglas says. "If we're going to
promote the sport, when you get someone like Cael, you need to promote him."
Iowa State has even come out with a Cael (pronounced kale)
Sanderson bobblehead doll.
But it all comes back to continuity. He goes hard every
practice. He wins by pins or football scores like 25-9. He never struts, although
he just might be the most dominant athlete in college sports.
If anything has him a bit off balance, maybe it's the bobbleheads.
"Actually, it's a little embarrassing," he says. "Everyone is asking me about
them, and I don't really know what to say."
But ask about the streak and his answer is the same as
it's always been: "I try not to worry about it. It's hard not to, but I just
try to get ready for my opponent."
Iowa Staters especially know any wrestler can lose. Going
into the 1970 tourney as a senior, Iowa State's legendary Dan Gable hadn't lost
in high school or college. Yet he was upset in the final by Washington's Larry
Thursday, Sanderson will focus on his first foe, unseeded
Eric Mausser (27-7) of Clarion (Pa.) University. For Sanderson, it's always
been about the guy up next: "That doesn't really leave much time and space to
think about the record."
Lofty goals set and met
Sanderson, 22, grew up in a Mormon family in Heber City,
Utah, about 35 miles from Salt Lake City.
Coached at Wasatch High by his father, he was a four-time
state champ. Like so many top wrestlers, he grew up wrestling siblings. Brother
Cody, 25, was a two-time NCAA runner-up at Iowa State. Another brother, Cole,
23, also wrestled at Iowa State. Another, Cyler, was a ninth-grade state champ
this season in Utah. They aren't the types to strut or gesture in victory.
"That's just something we never allowed because it was
unsportsmanlike and doesn't have a place in the game," says their father, Steve.
Still, Sanderson came to Iowa State with a lofty goal
four NCAA titles. The only Division I wrestler to accomplish that: Oklahoma
State's Pat Smith (early 1990s).
"I've always wanted to be the best," says Sanderson, who
redshirted as a freshman.
Smith finished his career 121-5-2. Before freshman eligibility,
three wrestlers won three titles with perfect records: Northern Iowa's Bill
Koll (43-0 in the 1940s), Oklahoma's Dan Hodge (46-0 in the 1950s) and Oklahoma
State's Yojiro Uetake (58-0 in the 1960s).
Today, wrestlers have far more matches, and perfection
wasn't in Sanderson's plans: "I figured I'd get beat up on a little bit and
hopefully I'd win at the end, just slip through somehow. But things just kind
of fell into place."
Sanderson is 35-0 this season with 21 pins, 10 technical
falls matches ended once the margin reaches 15 points and two
forfeits. The only wrestler who's lasted the full seven minutes with him is
Lehigh's Jon Trenge, No. 2 seed this week. Sanderson has beaten Trenge 16-5
and 6-1 (Sanderson's closest score of the season).
An all-out competitor
Oklahoma junior Tom Grossman is seeded 10th at Sanderson's
weight. In the recent Big 12 tournament semifinals, Grossman lost 24-8 to Sanderson.
Grossman is 0-9 in his career against Sanderson, 0-3 this
"He's probably the best wrestler ever to come out of college,
even if he were to lose a match at the NCAAs," Grossman says.
Grossman nearly took Sanderson down in the Big 12 tournament.
"When I wrestle him, I go out to win. I'm not worried about how many matches
he's won, or that he hasn't lost," Grossman says. "But I think a lot of guys
go out afraid of him and don't want to get pinned or something."
Cody Sanderson sees the same trend from many of Cael's
opponents. "All they do is try to control a hand and back up and not get scored
on," says Sanderson's brother, an ISU graduate student in genetics and an administrative
assistant with the wrestling team.
"In the NCAA tournament, that's what I think people are
going to try to do to beat him ... If they try to attack ... he'll just destroy
Yes, he honed his moves wrestling his brothers. They didn't
have a mat in the house, but they had the keys to the high school wrestling
room because their dad was the coach. But Sanderson has other extraordinary
talents that aren't learned.
Sanderson would be quick in a lighter division. At 197,
he's super quick. "To tell you the truth, he's so fast you don't even really
notice his strength," Grossman says.
That speed enables him to hit moves like the "ankle pick,"
his signature takedown.
Beyond his own exceptional balance, he's got something
else. "He has an ability to just feel when his opponent is off balance. It's
unbelievable," Cody says. "That's why he'll continually hit an ankle pick on
every opponent."
He also practices like he competes with high intensity.
Iowa State heavyweight Mark Knauer occasionally drills
with him. "You want to be well rested. If you're fatigued, it could be a long
day. He's a machine," Knauer says.
The same in matches. "He just keeps attacking. He doesn't
stop for anything," Grossman says.
Sanderson also doesn't rest on his laurels: "When he was
a freshman, he'd come off after beating guys by 10 or 15 points and he'd, like,
start throwing his headgear in the locker room. He wanted to do better," Knauer
Throw in toughness. Weeks before his sophomore NCAA tournament,
Sanderson sprained an ankle playing hoops. "Coach probably still doesn't know
I was playing basketball. ... It was pretty stupid," he says. But he won anyway.
Cody: "No matter how bad it hurt, he overcame it."
It all adds up to 154-0.
No wonder Douglas, usually animated at mat-side, sat quietly
as Sanderson rolled through the Big 12 tournament. "When a guy's scoring points
like that, there isn't a whole lot for me to say," Douglas says. "It might screw
him up."
In these NCAA finals, Sanderson isn't as familiar with
the wrestlers at his new weight. He hasn't faced third-seeded Owen Elzen of
Minnesota. He hasn't met fourth-seeded Nick Preston of Ohio State since they
were freshman.
However, he's seen them in tournaments. He may watch some
video on them. "He's so smart at wrestling," Cody says. "He just kind of watches
the video one time and he has a pretty good idea what he is up against."
Handling the hype
This season, Cody has videotaped Cael's matches. But he
figured out early that holding the camera wouldn't cut it. "I was shaking all
over. I had to use a tripod," he says. "I'm just concerned about him. I worry
about the stress he's going through."
Cael has ways of coping. He lives in a house with Cody
and Cody's wife. The brothers share a fondness for pet ferrets.
An art and design major, Sanderson graduated in December
and is taking extra classes, including drawing. "I draw a lot," says Sanderson,
who enjoys cartooning. "It's a great excuse to sit down and definitely get your
mind off wrestling."
Do fellow students pepper him with questions about the
"People sort of know, but being in the art department I
don't think sports are as known or recognized. It's not something I really deal
with every day," he says.
But he's not just another guy on campus. For his last home
meet, Iowa State drew a crowd of 8,119 more than double the usual. Afterward,
Sanderson spent two hours signing autographs.
He doesn't outwardly show tension. During a tournament
this season at the University of Pennsylvania, he stretched out on a bleacher
seat at The Palestra and took a nap.
When his match is done, he's not the type to raise a clenched
fist. Shows of emotion are rare.
"Probably the biggest one I remember was after he won his
freshman year at the NCAAs," his father says. "I think he was excited. He clapped
and then looked at me in the stands and pointed at me."
The family, including his mother, Debbie, will be in Albany.
"In some ways I'd like it to be over," says his dad. "You get tired of dealing
with the pressure or watching him try to deal with the pressure. On the other
hand, what the heck am I gonna have to do? It doesn't seem that long ago that
I remember him in the state finals in Utah."
Sanderson, who aims to compete at the world level, also
sees the end of the journey. He says that's made this year less pressure-packed.
"In the situation I was in last year, not only do you think about the tournament
at hand, but you have the next year and 40 more matches to worry about."
Now, it's five. "I just have to be ready for everyone,

Yesterday, for the first time, I tethered my Note 3 directly to my PC which led it automatically install and run that Assistant. In the process, as if I couldn't do it myself, it verified that my software was up to date. Seeing no value in it, I set it up not to start when I reboot the computer and not to run when I connect the phone. Well, tonight, when I rebooted my phone, the damn Assistant ran again and, this time, informed me that the phone's software needs repair, and invited me to back everything up bc everything on the phone would be erased, warning that the phone shouldn't be disconnected during the process. Instead, I exited the Assistant, checked the phone, and didn't find anything unusual, still indicating the same MJE software version being up to date.
So, what is that stupid Assistant for and how to get rid of it?

My wife and I are locals, and the Westin was our choice for a downtown staycation. We also got an excellent deal, which made this very nice hotel an even better choice.
Location - The Westin's location is excellent. Though not on the literal doorstep of most downtown Long Beach entertainment and dining, the Westin is only two blocks west of the Pine Ave district and the convention center, a block and a half from the awesome Promenade district, and a couple of blocks away from the Pike district. If you happen to be going to the Long Beach Performing Arts Center, the Westin is directly across the street. So, if you don't mind walking a block or two, the location is awesome. The fact that the nightlife is a short distance away probably tends to make the prices a little better as well.
Rooms - We got a basic room, and we were impressed by how spacious, comfortable, and clean they were. First off, they appeared to have been recently renovated. The furnishings were very nice, the bed was comfortable, and the floorplan was incredibly roomy. This was probably one of the largest basic rooms we've ever stayed in. The wall of windows was also a very nice touch. There are great views in every direction.
We didn't use any of the facilities like the restaurant, the pool, or the workout room, but from what we saw, they appeared to be pretty decent hotel standards.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Halfway between Los Angeles International Airport and Orange County Airport, The Westin Long Beach is also close to Aquarium of the Pacific, The Pike Shopping Center and Rainbow Harbor. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Starwood, Hotels.com, Orbitz, Booking.com, Travelocity, Priceline, Hotwire, TripOnline SA, Cheap Tickets, Cancelon and HotelQuickly so you can book your The Westin Long Beach reservations with confidence.

Ratings for Dr. Ann Williams
she has now left the profession in unexplained circumstances
When I was 18 and on about my 6th admission for pregnancy complications, I became intensely suicidal and was seriously planning jumping off a tall building. This doctor; this perinatal mental health specialist challenged me to go ahead and do it. That might work with some people but for me I felt traumatised by it. It has been burnt in my mind for the last two decades. Prior to that, she came across as rude, distracted and like she was in a rush and had to be somewhere 10 minutes ago. She spoke to me like I was a nuisance. She spent a few minutes talking to me then declared I wasn't depressed. The 5 years prior to that day and the 20 years since beg to differ. I despise this woman to this day. How rude to treat me like I have a PD when she clearly has one.
Please choose a different profession for the sake of mental health Ann.
I saw this psychiatrist around 5 times when I was suffering from severe depression and I found her extremely cold and unhelpful. She set me back years in my treatment and made me distrust medical professionals.
Excellent doctor. She is very strong mentally and has a personal approach to ever patient. Have seen her from about eight years she is treating me for bipartisan disorder. Though I have tried to contact her from about three months. Just to continue with her because i do trust her and I cant find her.

A complete full Stokes imaging spectropolarimeter is proposed. Four separate polarized spectra are fed into the Sagnac Fourier transform spectrometer without slit using different angle combinations of the polarized elements. The four polarized spectra are separated without spatial aliasing. And the system has a good performance to resist the instrument noise due to its high light throughput. The mathematical model for the approach is derived and an optimization of the retardance is discussed. For acquiring the four spectra simultaneously, an improved robust polarization modulator using aperture division is outlined. Then the system is discussed in detail including the imaging principle and spectral resolution. Lastly, two proven experiments are carried out and the experimental results in visible light are outlined.

Cocoon sitemap is far more sophisticated than struts-config.xml. Ovidiu's flow control is a working solution which delivers what Strut's workflow was planning to do but hasn't achieved yet. Plus with Creg's recent emails, it is now clear that Strut's development will most likely slow down quite a bit. > -Struts don't oblige you bother with XML, but don't get real advantage of it > -Struts leave it up to you to separate business and application tier, and > JSP don't help you to separate logic and presentation.

Instead they're accessed directly, just like Struts does it. However a big advantage over Struts is that the "view" markup is client independent, based on XForms. This way styling and rendering forms is a lot more flexible than with Struts. Remember that with Struts you can only write html forms. XMLForm allows you to write forms for HTML, WAP and other clients. > -If you do not think XML is a must, if you do not want to separate logique > from presentation, business from application, ok, use struts.

I think you could say that Struts used to be a publishing framework. Starting with 2.1 it becomes a kick-a** web app platform.

It's been long since I blogged here. Too, too long. Well, I'm getting back to it but with a few changes. I love blogging, however, I just cannot manage the few blogs I started with. Therefore, I'm merging all my blogs to one and moving all my blogs to my main one - Jac's Quests. In the next few months, what I'll do is blog about whatever it is I'm blogging about at Jac's Quests while I work out how to move all my posts over there. I know it can be done, just don't know how, but I'll try. So, here's hoping that you will visit Jac's Quest and enjoy my blogging about Gardening, Hair, Kenya and everything in between.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Aflac (Sacramento, CA) in April 2017.
I was recruited from my campus and offered an interview, but wasn't told it would be a group interview. I got there, and the manager of the branch was moreso trying to sell us the job, than ask us questions.
Interview Questions
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Aflac (Attleboro, MA) in April 2017.
First interview in a group setting. One hour pitch. If you are interested the second interview is one on one. Manager is adept at making the job seem lucrative if you are willing to work hard.
Interview Questions
I applied online. I interviewed at Aflac.
It was easy to be called in the 1st interview explain how the company works in general terms.They asked about previous work and about yourself Also they explained how the wage was what they expected from an aflac worker.
Interview Questions
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Aflac (Woodbridge, VA) in March 2017.
The first interview was fairly easy. It was in a group setting and they basically just explained how to make money and what the company was about. The second interview was one on one.
Interview Questions
I applied online. I interviewed at Aflac (Los Angeles, CA) in March 2017.
Group Interview, around six people, they explained that it was a strictly commission based sales position with no benefits, something that was not told to use before traveling across town for the interview, I believe that a phone interview in place of a group interview would be better.
Interview Questions

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Aflac (New York, NY) in November 2016.
Someone from their office contacted me via email and told me they found my resume on monster.com. They asked me if I could come in for an interview, so I set it up. Once I arrived there was waiting room full of people who also set up interviews. They sat all of us in the conference room and talked about the company and how they make money. Pretty much this is a cold calling job where you will be required to make sales over the phone. There is no base salary, this is strictly commission based.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Aflac (Clinton, CT) in November 2016.
The first interview was filling out a personality survey and getting details about the company and products from the sales manager, and the actual one on one interview would be scheduled for another day.
Interview Questions
Helpful (5)
I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week. I interviewed at Aflac (Newark, DE).
Two step interview, the first was in a group setting, the second was a 1 on 1. I didn't like the first interview, felt like I was being herded. There are a lot of numbers thrown around and not really too much discussion about your role at the company. As an independent employee there was a lot of tax information that was withheld.
Interview Questions
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Aflac (Culver City, CA) in September 2016.
Received a phone call,
Scheduled Interview
Attended group interview/presentation - We filled out a sheet of paper with questions regarding AFLAC known competitiors and if we were familiar with their main products such as interim unemployment insurance; payout ~$3,000 - $8,000 over 3 months.
1:1 Interview - Room was small, I am 5'10 200 lbs. Lasted < 5 min. I did not get to explain my full background

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Aflac.
Apply online, receive a phone call from their HR department, group interview (they don't tell you its a group interview), then if they like you they will call you back for another 1-on-1 interview. If you get the 1-on-1 interview you will most likely get the job. Then you have to get your license (which you have to pay for). If you pass they will assign you a district and you're on your way.

Isabelle de Kleine
Emerging RMIT artist Isabelle de Kleine snapped up the 2015 National Portrait Gallery's digital portrait prize.
RMIT places a huge emphasis on studio working. I had my own individual space in the city to be able to create work.
To be able to connect with and impact someone through your art is incredibly inspiring. You are able to communicate and express ideas and emotions through a visual language.
I grew up in Western Australia, and chose RMIT because of the way they teach Fine Art. At RMIT they mentor and guide you so you can have artistic freedom. Other universities provided a more rigid approach to fine art, which didn't give me room to grow as an artist.
I was introduced to video art at the start of my degree and have had great success in creating videos as an accompaniment to my paintings. I submitted a video portrait to the Macquarie Digital Portrait Prize 2015 at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra and to Channels Festival 2015. The work, 'Untitled', of Curtis Edwards, was selected as one of ten international finalists for Channels Festival and won a $15,000 residency and mentorship program at The Edge in Brisbane.
The staff are highly skilled and knowledgeable practicing artists, each with a unique way of teaching. They personally got to know my working style and offered personalised and valuable feedback.
As part of the degree, I completed an internship at a commercial gallery in Collingwood. I got to know the directors and curators and participate in the process of setting up exhibitions and the work that goes into running a show. What a fantastic opportunity to be able to engage with the industry and contemporary artists!

We've been starting some work on making this wiki readable again after the color theme change. Unfortunately, we're running into issues where it's hard to make it look good in both the dark Oasis and the white Monobook skins, and we have to make compromises and work-arounds to avoid "breaking" the page in the other skin. It's increasing the workload on the editors, and in my opinion is bound for failure anyway, unless everything is just bland and limited to a small handful of colors that each must be defined differently between the skins by using classes (See the Sandbox for examples).
What do you think of changing the color theme of Monobook to be closer to the current Oasis colors? It would still be functionally Monobook, but it will make it infinitely easier to edit without worrying that something will be unreadable or ugly in the other skin.
Mostly I would like to hear two things: Why not make this change? And do you have any alternative suggestions?

The Ten Best South Beach Restaurants
Yes, South Beach is filled with tourists wearing "I'm in Miami, Bitch" T-shirts. And drug-and-beer-beseeching bums lurk in alleyways. But that's only one side of the Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue fence.
The greener, South of Fifth neighborhood boasts South Pointe Park, with sweeping views of the Magic City, as well as one of the area's most iconic and longest-standing eateries, Joe's Stone Crab, which turned 102 this year.
Our choices make pasta from scratch and infuse it with rabbit, source masa from small Mexican farms to produce handcrafted tortillas, and fly in fish from Greece daily. That's just some of the labor put in by the top ten restaurants in South Beach.
Hmmm. Biscuits.

10. Yardbird
Have you had the chicken liver toast at Yardbird? What about the fried Everglades frog's legs with sweet-and-sour jelly, bacon bits, and escabeche mayo? Or the beef sirloin tartare, served with fried cornbread, barbecue sauce sorbet, and frisée lettuce, which happens to be one of the best renditions of steak tartare in town? These might not be the greatest hits or most popular items at John Kunkel's ridiculously popular Yardbird, but they are the most underrated dishes at this eatery with Southern roots. So next time you're tempted to order his grandmother Lewellyn's fried chicken, chicken 'n' watermelon 'n' waffles, or Mama's chicken biscuits, stop being a chicken and try something different.
Quality Meats
9. Quality Meats
In a short time, newcomer and New York transplant Quality Meats has beefed up the offerings on Collins Avenue with a modern interpretation of a steak house. What, exactly, does that entail? House-cured slabs of bacon get a peanut butter and jalapeño jelly treatment, steak tartare is made tableside, braised veal shank comes atop a bed of black truffle pappardelle, and sides include a corn crème brûlée and cheese-slathered gnocchi. To bring it full circle, the owners (who started the Smith & Wollensky empire) have put just as much emphasis on desserts as they have on their touted cuts of meat. To see what we're talking about, simply order the sticky toffee pudding with fig ice cream.
Here, fishy, fishy.

8. Estiatorio Milos
As former New Times critic Lee Klein best put it, Estiatorio Milos has exquisite Mediterranean food — if you can afford it. Not for the common folk, Milos fits right in its SoFi digs and easily serves the freshest and most pristinely cooked seafood in town. Your experience here includes a walk to the icy-cool display in the back of the restaurant, where the morning's or midday's catch (fish is flown in multiple times a day and transported in a Mercedes-Benz refrigerated van because, well, it's Miami) is beautifully and vibrantly on view. But you never know what you're gonna get — other than glistening fish eyes (a sign the sea creature hasn't been dead long) and a high bill dropped at the end of the meal — because not even the kitchen staff knows what seafood is coming in till it arrives at the airport. Luckily, the restaurant offers a $49 tasting menu during the summer. In other words, the time is now to visit this place.
Where pigs go to die.

7. Pubbelly
When chef Jose Mendin and partners Sergio Navarro and Andreas Schreiner opened Pubbelly in 2010, Sunset Harbour was a sleepy enclave. Fast-forward five years, and not only have the kings of swine taken over the neighborhood with Barceloneta and PB Sushi, but also the trio's first-born, Pubbelly, has been credited as being the progenitor of Sunset Harbour's movement toward becoming a hub for foodies. Yes, the food is heavy. Yes, there are lots and lots (and lots) of porcine dishes on the menu. But there's also — during season — Florida stone crab pasta with jalapeño, ginger, bok choy, and miso citrus butter. And there's a handful of dumplings packed with everything from duck and pumpkin to pastrami and sauerkraut. Plus, it doesn't hurt that it's all coming from a James Beard Award semifinalist and Food & Wine People's Best Chef nominee.
Let's taco about it.
6. Taquiza
Taquiza is the little taco stand that could, and does. Eating House and Gastropod alum Steve Santana is grinding day and night — literally grinding house-nixtamalized corn and blue masa from small farms in Mexico to produce enough tortillas to meet not just the demand for beachgoers and Miami Beach residents but also for Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Michael Schwartz, who use the amazingly crisp yet fluffy taco shells at their restaurants. Go ahead, order a taco or seven (that's how many types are offered). From al pastor and carnitas to barbacoa and lengua (beef tongue), there's plenty to satisfy your authentic Mexican craving. Whatever you do, don't ask for a quesadilla, or whoever is at the cash register might crucify you. Do, however, ask for carne seca (made with meat from Creekstone Farms) and a choco taco (a dessert waffle cone taco with horchata ice cream dipped in chocolate and crowned with pistachios). You're welcome.

Breaking News: NIBL Friends Moves To Court Against ANFA, Referees
Feb 4, 2014 06:01:51 PM
In a rare case of Nepalese football, NIBL Friends have moved to court against ANFA and referees.
Lalitpur apex court has asked ANFA to furnish clarification within 15 days regarding ANFA's action to the club. The petition was filed by Club office secretary Rajkumar Chouhdary on behalf of the club.
ANFA earlier fined the club Rs 15,000 and slapped a huge ban on three club officials.
Team Manager Arbind Singh was slapped with a year ban, team official Biswas Shah was handed a three month technical area ban while another team official Deepak Thapa received a six month ban for their assault and unsporting behavior in the match against Three Star Club which they lost 2-0.
The Friends Club's officials created a scene at the stadium demanding spot kick which referee Srawan Lama denied to award.
ANFA is yet to respond on the move initiated by the kopundole based club.
