The New England Hurricane of 1938 (or Great New England Hurricane, Yankee Clipper, Long Island Express, or simply the Great Hurricane of 1938) was the first major hurricane to strike New England since 1869. The storm formed near the coast of Africa in September of the 1938 Atlantic hurricane season, becoming a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale before making landfall as a Category 3 hurricane[1] on Long Island on September 21. The hurricane was estimated to have killed between 682 and 800 people,[2] damaged or destroyed over 57,000 homes, and caused property losses estimated at US$306 million ($4.7 billion in 2014).[3] Even as late as 1951, damaged trees and buildings were still seen in the affected areas.[4] It remains the most powerful and deadliest hurricane in recent New England history, eclipsed in landfall intensity perhaps only by the Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635. In 2012 Hurricane Sandy did far more property damage in terms of dollars (despite its lower intensity at landfall); however, the 1938 storm still stands as the second costliest storm to strike New England.
Before the 1938 New England hurricane, it had been several decades since a hurricane of any significance adversely affected the northeastern Atlantic coastline. Nevertheless, history has shown that several severe hurricanes have affected the Northeast, although with much less frequency in comparison to areas of the Gulf, Florida, and southeastern Atlantic coastlines.
The years from 1893 to 1938 saw much demographic change in the Northeast as large influxes of European immigrants settled in cities and towns throughout New York and New England, particularly seaports and industrial towns in river valleys; many of them knew little, if anything, about hurricanes. Most people at the time associated hurricanes with the warmer tropical regions off the Gulf Coast and southern North Atlantic waters off the Florida coastline, and not the colder Atlantic waters off New York and New England. The only tropical storms to affect the area in recent years had been weak remnant storms. A more common weather phenomenon was a nor'easter, which is a powerful low-pressure storm common in the Northeast during fall and winter. Although nor'easters can produce winds that are similar to those in hurricanes, they generally do not produce the storm surge that proved to be the 1938 storm's greatest killer. By 1938, most of the earlier storms were hardly remembered.
The storm was first analyzed by ship data south of the Cape Verde Islands on September 9. Over the next ten days, it steadily gathered strength and slowly tracked to the west-northwest. By September 20, while centered east of the Bahamas, the hurricane is estimated to have reached Category 5 intensity. In response to a deep trough over Appalachia, the hurricane veered northward, sparing the Bahamas, Florida, the Carolinas, and the Mid-Atlantic. At the same time, a high pressure system was centered north of Bermuda, preventing the hurricane from making an eastward turn out to sea.[5] Thus, the hurricane was effectively squeezed to the north between the two weather systems.
Late on September 20, this set-up caused the storm's forward speed to increase substantially, ultimately reaching 70 mph, the highest forward velocity ever recorded in the annals of hurricanes. This extreme forward motion, being in the same general direction as the winds on the eastern side of the storm as it proceeded north, caused the perceived wind speed in areas east of the eye to be far higher than would be the case with a hurricane of more typical forward speed. (Winds rotate counter-clockwise around all low pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere, thus winds on the right side of a hurricane, "right" being relative to the direction of motion of the storm itself, are moving in the same general direction as the hurricane. Therefore, the forward motion increases the observed wind speed for points to the right of the eye of the hurricane and decreases the observed wind speed for points to the left of the eye, but in a complex way that defies crude addition or subtraction of the forward motion from the "intrinsic" wind speed of the hurricane.) During the early hours of September 21, the storm, centered several hundred miles to the southeast of Cape Hatteras, weakened slightly. By 8:30 am EDT, the hurricane was centered approximately 100 miles (160 km) due east of Cape Hatteras, and its forward speed had increased to well over 50 mph. This rapid movement did not give the hurricane a sufficient amount of time to weaken over the cooler waters before it reached Long Island.[6] During the 9:00 am EDT hour, the hurricane sped through the Virginia tidewater. Between 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm EDT, the New Jersey coastline and New York City caught the western edge of the hurricane.[7] At the same time, weather conditions began to deteriorate rapidly on Long Island as well as along the southern New England coast. The hurricane made landfall at Bellport on Long Island's Suffolk County sometime between 2:10 pm and 2:40 pm EDT as a category 3 hurricane with sustained winds of 120 mph.[8] The storm made a second landfall still as a category 3 hurricane somewhere between Bridgeport and New Haven, Connecticut around 4:00 pm with sustained winds of 115 mph.[8]
By 5:00 pm EDT, the eye moved into western Massachusetts, and by 6:00 pm EDT, the hurricane reached Vermont. Both Westfield, Massachusetts and Dorset, Vermont reported calm conditions and partial clearing during passage of the eye, which is a rather unusual occurrence for a New England hurricane.[9] As the hurricane continued into northern Vermont, it began to lose tropical characteristics. Still carrying hurricane-force winds, the storm crossed into Quebec at approximately 10:00 pm EDT, while transitioning into a post-tropical low. The post-tropical remnants dissipated over northern Ontario a few days later.
In 1938 United States forecasting lagged behind forecasting in Europe, where new techniques of analyzing air masses and taking into account the influence of fronts were used. A confidential report by the United States Forest Service, the parent agency of the United States Weather Bureau, had described the forecasting of the bureau as "a sorry state of affairs" where forecasters had poor training and systematic planning was not used and where forecasters had to "scrap by" to get information wherever they could. On September 19 the Jacksonville, Florida office of the United States Weather Bureau issued a warning that a hurricane might hit Florida. Residents and authorities who had endured the Labor Day Hurricane 3 years prior made extensive preparations. When the storm turned north the office issued warnings for the Carolina coast and transferred authority to the bureau's headquarters in Washington. At 9:00 am on September 21 the Washington office issued northeast storm warnings north of Atlantic City and south of Block Island and southeast storm warnings from Block Island to Eastport, Maine.[10] The advisory underestimated the storm's intensity and said the storm was farther south than it actually was.[10] The office had yet to forward any information about the hurricane to the New York City office.[10] At 10:00 am the bureau downgraded the hurricane to a tropical storm. The 11:30 am advisory mentioned gale force winds but nothing about a tropical storm or hurricane.[10] That day 28-year-old rookie Charles Pierce was standing in for two veteran meteorologists. Pierce concluded the storm would be squeezed by a high-pressure area located to the west of the hurricane and a high-pressure area located to the east of the hurricane and be forced to ride up a trough of low pressure into New England. A noon meeting was called and Pierce presented his conclusion but was overruled by "celebrated" chief forecaster Charles Mitchell and his senior staff. In Boston meteorologist E.B. Rideout told his WEEI radio listeners, to the skepticism of his peers, that the hurricane would hit New England.[11] At 2:00 pm, as hurricane force gusts were occurring on Long Island's South Shore and near hurricane force gusts on the coast of Connecticut, the Washington office issued an advisory saying the storm was 75 miles east-southeast of Atlantic City and would pass over Long Island and Connecticut. Reanalysis of the storm suggests the hurricane was farther north (just 50 miles from Fire Island), stronger and larger than the advisory said.[10]
The majority of the storm damage was from storm surge and wind. Damage was estimated at $308 million, (the equivalent of $4.8 billion adjusted for inflation in 2011 dollars), making it among the most costly hurricanes to strike the U.S. mainland.[12] It is estimated that if an identical hurricane struck in 2005 it would have caused $39.2 billion (2005 dollars) in damage, due to changes in population and infrastructure.[13]
Approximately 600 people died in the storm in New England, most in Rhode Island, and up to 100 people elsewhere in the path of the storm.[14] An additional 708 people were reported injured.[15]
In total, 4,500 cottages, farms, and other homes were reported destroyed. An additional 25,000 homes were damaged. Other damages included 26,000 automobiles destroyed and 20,000 electrical poles toppled. The hurricane also devastated the forests of the Northeast, knocking down an estimated 2 billion trees in New York and New England.[15]
Freshwater flooding was minimal, however, as the quick passage of the storm decreased local rainfall totals, with only a few small areas receiving over 10 inches (250 mm).
Over 35% of New England's total forest area was affected. In all, over 2.7 billion board feet of trees fell because of the storm. 1.6 billion board feet of the trees were salvaged.[16] The Northeastern Timber Salvage Administration (NETSA) was established to deal with the extreme fire hazard that the fallen timber had created.[17] In many locations, roads from the fallen tree removal were visible decades later and in some cases, became trails still used today.
The New Haven Railroad from New Haven to Providence was particularly hard hit, as countless bridges along the Shore Line were destroyed or flooded, severing rail connections to badly affected cities (such as Westerly, Rhode Island) in the process.
More than 50 people perished on Long Island in the storm's wake.[18] All the shore lines were very vulnerable to the high winds and flooding waves, and anyone who was along or near the shores was directly in harm's way. Due to the lack of technology back in 1938, Long Island residents were not warned of the hurricane's arrival,[18] leaving little to no time to prepare or evacuate.[19] Long Island was struck first, before New England, Vermont, New Hampshire and Quebec, earning the storm the nickname the "Long Island Express."[19] The winds reached up to 150 mph with waves surging to around 25–35feet high.[20]
Ten new inlets were created on eastern Long Island.[8] The surge rearranged the sand at the Cedar Point Lighthouse so that the island became connected to what is now Cedar Point County Park. The surging water created the present-day Shinnecock Inlet by carving out a large section of barrier island separating Shinnecock Bay from the Atlantic. The storm toppled the landmark steeple of the tallest building in Sag Harbor, the Old Whaler's Church.[21] The steeple has not been rebuilt. Wading River suffered substantial damage.
In Greenport, on the North Fork of Long Island, the storm blew down the movie theater located on Front Street.
The fishing industry was destroyed, as was half of the apple crop.[8]
The western periphery of the hurricane brought heavy rain and gusty winds to Delaware and southeastern Maryland.[22] Damage, if any, is believed to have been minimal.
The western side of the hurricane caused sustained tropical storm-force winds, high waves, and storm surge along much of the New Jersey coast.[7] In Atlantic City, the surge destroyed much of the boardwalk and the bridge between Atlantic City and Brigantine collapsed, stranding at least 2,000. Additionally, the surge inundated several coastal communities; Wildwood was under 3 feet (0.91 m) of water at the height of the storm. and in Bay Head the boardwalk was destroyed and dozens of cottages washed into the ocean. Crops sustained wind damage.[23] The maximum recorded wind gust was 70 mph at Sandy Hook.[7]
The area escaped the worst of the wind and storm surge because it was hit by the storm's weaker western side. Winds were recorded at 60 mph at Central Park, Battery Park recorded sustained winds of 70 mph with gusts to 80 mph, and a gust of 90 mph was recorded 500 feet above ground at the Daily News Building. Winds were estimated at 120 mph on top of the Empire State Building.[8] The highest winds were from the north to northwest on the back side of the storm. The storm surge was 8½ feet at the Battery and the Mean Low Water storm tide was 16¾ feet at Willets Point.[8] In New York Harbor the waters rose 7 feet in a half-hour.[8]
In New York City and Long Island schools were dismissed early.[10][24] Extensive street flooding occurred because debris blocked drains.[10] The East River flowed three blocks and flooded a Consolidated Edison plant at 133rd Street causing power to fail in Manhattan north of 59th Street and in the Bronx for several minutes to a few hours. Railroad and ferry services were suspended for a time and a ferry crashed into the Staten Island terminal.[10] Bridges and tunnels connecting Manhattan to the outside were closed until the following afternoon. In Manhasset Bay almost 400 boats were ripped from their moorings and smashed or sunk with more than 100 washing up on the beach by the Port Washington Yacht Club. Similar scenes occurred in other locations on the north shore. The J.P. Morgan estate in Glen Cove was heavily damaged. The wife of New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia was forced to wait out the storm on the second floor of their Northport cottage. In Williston Park residents of 50 homes needed to be rescued by rowboat when heavy rain the previous few days combined with the rain from the hurricane overflowed a pond.[2][24][25][26][27][28]
Eastern Long Island experienced the worst of the storm. The Dune Road area of Westhampton Beach was obliterated, resulting in 29 deaths. A cinema in Westhampton was also swept out to sea; about 20 people at a matinee and the theater projectionist landed two miles (3 km) into the Atlantic and drowned.[29] There were 21 other deaths through the rest of the East End of Long Island. The storm surge temporarily turned Montauk into an island as it flooded across the South Fork at Napeague and obliterated the tracks of the Long Island Rail Road. As a result of the hurricane, the Westhampton Beach School District changed its school's nickname from the Green Wave to the Hurricanes.
Being exposed to the storm due to its shorelines, Long Island was hit hard. The estimated storm tide was 15 feet in this region. A Mean Low Water storm tide of 8 feet was record at Port Jefferson.[8] About 50 people perished in the storm's wake.[18] All the shore lines were very vulnerable to the high winds and flooding waves, and anyone who was along or near the shores was directly in harm's way. Due to the lack of technology back in 1938, Long Island residents were not warned of the hurricane's arrival,[18] leaving little to no time to prepare or evacuate.[19] Long Island was struck first, before New England, Vermont, New Hampshire and Quebec, earning the storm the nickname the "Long Island Express."[19] The winds reached up to 150 mph with waves surging to around 25–35 feet high.[20]
Ten new inlets were created on eastern Long Island.[8] The surge rearranged the sand at the Cedar Point Lighthouse so that the island became connected to what is now Cedar Point County Park. The surging water created the present-day Shinnecock Inlet by carving out a large section of barrier island separating Shinnecock Bay from the Atlantic. The storm toppled the landmark steeple of the tallest building in Sag Harbor, the Old Whaler's Church.[21] The steeple has not been rebuilt. Wading River suffered substantial damage.
In Greenport, on the North Fork of Long Island, the storm blew down the movie theater located on Front Street.
The fishing industry was destroyed, as was half of the apple crop.[8]
The storm surge hit Westerly, Rhode Island at 3:50 pm EDT, resulting in 100 deaths there alone.[30]
The tide was even higher than usual because of the autumnal equinox and full moon. The hurricane produced storm tides of 14 to 18 feet (5 m) across most of the Long Island and Connecticut coast, with 18 to 25-foot (8 m) tides from New London east to Cape Cod. The storm surge was especially violent along the Rhode Island shore, sweeping hundreds of summer cottages out to sea. As the surge drove northward through Narragansett Bay, it was restricted by the Bay's funnel shape and rose to 15.8 feet above normal spring tides, resulting in more than 13 feet (4.0 m) of water in some areas of downtown Providence. Several motorists were drowned in their autos.[31] Due in part to the economic difficulties of the Great Depression, many stores in downtown Providence were looted by mobs, often before the flood waters had fully subsided.
Many homes and structures along the coast were destroyed, as well as many structures inland along the hurricane's path. Entire beach communities on the coast of Rhode Island were obliterated. Napatree Point, a small cape that housed nearly 40 families between the Atlantic Ocean and Little Narragansett Bay just off of Watch Hill, Rhode Island, was completely swept away. Today, Napatree is a wildlife refuge with no human inhabitants. One house in Charlestown, Rhode Island was lifted and deposited across the street, where it stood, inhabited, until it was demolished in August 2011. Even to this day, concrete staircases and boardwalk bases destroyed by the hurricane can be found when sand levels on some beaches are low.
A few miles from Conanicut Island, keeper Walter Eberle lost his life when Whale Rock lighthouse was swept off its base and into the raging waves. His body was never found.
Because of the massive flooding from the 1938 storm, and from the even higher 14.4 foot (4.4 meters) storm surge that resulted from 1954's Hurricane Carol, in 1966 the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier was completed to avoid such extreme storm surges from ever again flooding downtown Providence.[32]
Eastern Connecticut was on the eastern side of the hurricane. Long Island acted as a buffer against large ocean surges, but the waters of Long Island Sound rose to unimaginable heights. Small shoreline towns to the east of New Haven had nearly complete destruction from the water and winds. To this day, the 1938 hurricane holds the record for the worst natural disaster in Connecticut's 350-year history.
The Mean Low Water storm tide was 14.1 feet at Stamford, 12.8 feet at Bridgeport, and 10.58 feet at New London, which remains a record high.[8]
In the beach towns of Clinton, Westbrook, and Old Saybrook, buildings were found as wreckage across coastal roads. Actress Katharine Hepburn waded to safety from her Old Saybrook beach home, narrowly escaping death. She stated in her 1991 book that 95% of her personal belongings were either lost or destroyed, including her 1932 Oscar which was later found intact. In Old Lyme beach cottages were flattened or swept away. At Stonington the Bostonian, a New York, New Haven & Hartford passenger train, became stuck in debris. Two passengers died when they drowned attempting to escape before the crew was able to clear the debris and get the train moving.[10] Along the Stonington shore front, buildings were swept off their foundations and found two miles (3 km) inland. Rescuers later searching for survivors in the homes in Mystic found live fish and crabs in kitchen drawers and cabinets.
New London was first swept by the winds and storm surge, after which the waterfront business district caught fire and burned out of control for 10 hours. Stately homes along Ocean Beach were leveled by the storm surge. The permanently anchored 240-ton lightship at the head of New London Harbor was found on a sand bar two miles (3 km) away.
Interior sections of the state experienced widespread flooding as the hurricane's torrential rains fell on soil already saturated from previous storms. The Connecticut River was forced out of its banks, inundating cities and towns from Hartford, to Middletown.
African-American novelist Ann Petry drew on her personal experiences of the hurricane in Old Saybrook in her 1947 novel, Country Place. Although the novel is set in the immediate aftermath of World War II, Petry identified the 1938 storm as the source for the storm that is at the center of her narrative.
The eye of the storm followed the Connecticut River north into o Massachusetts, where the winds and flooding killed 99 people. In Springfield, the river rose six to 10 feet (3 m) above flood stage, causing significant damage. Up to six inches (152 mm) of rain fell across western Massachusetts, which, combined with over four inches (102 mm) that had fallen a few days earlier, produced widespread flooding. In Chicopee, flash flooding on the Chicopee River washed away the Chicopee Falls Bridge, while the Connecticut River flooded most of the Willimansett section. Residents of Ware were stranded for days and relied on air-dropped food and medicine. After the flood receded, the town's Main Street was a chasm in which sewer pipes could be seen.
To the east, the surge left Falmouth and New Bedford under eight feet of water. Two-thirds of all the boats in New Bedford harbor sank. The Blue Hill Observatory registered sustained winds of 121 mph (195 km/h) and a peak gust of 186 mph (299 km/h), which is the strongest hurricane-related surface wind gust ever recorded in the United States.[33] A 50-foot wave, the tallest of the storm, was recorded at Gloucester.[8]
The hurricane entered Vermont as a Category 1 at approximately 6:00 pm EDT, reaching northern Vermont, Burlington and Lake Champlain around 8:00 pm.[9][26] Hurricane-force winds caused extensive damage to trees, buildings, and power lines. Over 2,000 miles (3,200 km) of public roads were blocked and it took months for crews to reopen some of the roads. In Montpelier, 120 miles from the nearest coast, salt spray was seen on windows.[34] A train was derailed in Castleton.[26] Despite the damage, the storm killed only five people in Vermont. Maple and sugar groves were damaged.[35] Until Hurricane Irene in 2011 (which had weakened to a tropical storm by the time it struck Vermont), the 1938 hurricane was the only tropical cyclone to make a direct hit on Vermont in its recorded history.
Even though the storm center tracked further west through Vermont, New Hampshire received appreciable damage. As in Vermont, very high winds brought down numerous trees and electric lines, but rainfall totals in New Hampshire were significantly less than those in other states. Only 1 inch (25 mm) of rain fell in Concord. But damage at Peterborough was worse; total damage there was stated to be $500,000 (1938 dollars, $6.5 million 2005 dollars), which included the destruction of 10 bridges. Much of the lower downtown burned because floodwaters prevented firefighters from reaching and extinguishing the blaze. Other communities also suffered considerable damage to forest resources. In New Hampshire, 13 people perished. At Mt. Washington, winds gusted to 163 miles per hour (262 km/h) and knocked down part of a trestle on the Cog Railway.[26]
In Maine buildings and trees were damaged and power outages occurred. Storm surge was minimal, and winds remained below hurricane strength. The storm did not claim any lives in Maine.[26][36]
As the hurricane was transitioning into an extratropical cyclone, it tracked into southern Quebec. When the system initially crossed into Canada, it continued to produce heavy rain and very strong winds, but interaction with land had taken its toll. Nevertheless, the hurricane managed to blow down numerous trees throughout the region.[37] Otherwise, damage was generally minimal.[38]

It's Wrecky Wedding Week!
That's right, Wreckies: We're about to embark upon a week-long marathon of wedding atrocities. Tipped over tiers, questionable themes, the missed marks...oh yeah, it's gonna be awesome.
So, let's get right to it, shall we?
Brides-to-be, want your cake to convey a sense of elegance in addition to the fun, campy style normally reserved for peanut vendors and clown cars? Then have I got the cake for you!
Or perhaps you'd prefer something less colorful. Something that evokes less "Big Top" and more "Sewer Pipe...with Flowers":
Still hungry? This'll help:
Hey, you know how we're always wondering why more wedding cakes don't use Mardi Gras beads? Well, wonder no more!
"She was the belle of the ball, the picture of elegance.
He was a rough country boy who'd never seen a fork.
Together, they would create something the world had never seen.
Something ground breaking.
Something divisive.
well, kind of prickly."
Karen M., Karin D., Judy M., Anony M., Danielle T., & Jennifer C., hang on to your veils; this week's gonna be a bumpy ride.

"Received of Philip Harding his borrowed earth, July 4, 1673.
from "English Epitaphs", by W. Everard Edmonds.1 Victoria Daily Colonist, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Sunday, 2 June 1907, page 24. (Read the full article at the British Colonist website.)
The challenge for the November 2009 Edition of the Graveyard Rabbits' Carnival was to write my own epitaph.
'Plan Your Epitaph Day', an international observance for November 2nd each year, coincides with All Saint's Day, often known as the Day of the Dead, and was created by Lance Hardie, "committed epitaph crusader and consultant".
This challenge wasn't hard as when I first published this blog, I included as a side piece a depiction of the epitaph that I hope is appropriate for myself - Most Days She Did Her Best.
Now it's true that, on the back, I'd like to see my dates and place of birth written and, if I could, a family tree showing at least my parents, grands and greats too.
But I'm set now on being buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver, BC, where my parents, my uncle, and my paternal grandparents and my paternal grandmother's parents are buried, as well as a good assortment of other family. I doubt there will be room for a big stone just for me!
1. The Harding epitaph, I believe, was from Crudwell, Wiltshire, England. See Antiente epitaphes (from A.D. 1250 to A.D. 1800) collected [and] sett forth in chronologicall order by Thomas FitzArthur Ravenshaw (London: Joseph Masters & Co.. 1878), page 127. Read this at the Internet Archive.

Parents Learn to Listen
The Morningside Center for Social Responsibility believes families hold the key to creating a more peaceful world. Parents teach kids the emotional skills that influence their decisions for the rest of their lives.
That's why Morningside offers workshops in more than 60 New York City schools to equip parents to understand their children's emotions. One workshop exercise shows how put-downs can take a toll on a child's self-esteem. A paper heart is ripped to symbolize a put-down either from a bully or a parent. By the end of a bad day, the heart is in tatters. The workshop is part of a program called Peace in the Family, which teaches parents to use open communication to handle their children's emotions.

The Rock is ready to roll into WrestleMania as a dual champion.
He's the reigning king of the box office after 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' stormed to $40.5 million over the weekend to become the No. 1 movie.
And in the ring, he's walking tall as WWE champ.
Everything Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson touches these days turns to gold, from the film franchises he whips into blockbusters to the diamond-encrusted WWE championship belt he drapes over his shoulder before he hits the ring to lay the smack down one more time in his triumphant return to the company.
Johnson is set for his latest starring role when he defends his title against John Cena at WrestleMania 29 on April 7 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The main event rematch is the pinnacle for the sports entertainment powerhouse and one of the most popular spectator sports in America.
'It's the biggest show of my career,' the 40-year-old Johnson said.
Johnson has the sequel market cornered, flexing his box office muscle in franchise films as 'Fast Five,' 'The Mummy Returns,' 'Journey 2: The Mysterious Island' and now 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation.'
He's ready to prove another one of his sequels can top the original when he faces Cena on Sunday.
In his first singles match since 2004, Johnson defeated Cena last year at Sun Life Stadium in Miami in a WrestleMania main event billed as 'Once in a Lifetime.'
Well, that tagline may as well be 'Once a Year.'
Hard to believe a professional wrestling company would stretch truth in advertising, but the two became set for a return bout once Rock beat C.M. Punk at January's Royal Rumble to win the championship and Cena won the 30-man Rumble to become the No. 1 contender.
Johnson said the rematch made sense because it was still the biggest money match the promotion could offer in the Super Bowl of sports entertainment.
He had the numbers to back it up. With one full year of hype, Rock-Cena drew 1.217 million pay-per-view buys last year and another 78,363 packed Sun Life Stadium on the strength of the match. Much like the Final Four or World Series, the WrestleMania brand is almost guaranteed to fill a stadium before a match is announced. It's getting fans at home to plunk down at least $59.95 for the standard definition broadcast that can truly stuff the coffers.
'Rock means revenue. Rock means ratings,' WWE Hall of Famer Booker T said. 'The Rock is great, not just a great performer, but he is a great ambassador for this business.'
With shows tailored around The Rock, the last two WrestleManias have topped 1 million buys. The WWE expects to hit that mark again Sunday.
The Rock had a wrestling ring set up wherever he was on location filming movies, his private training camps a part of the grind necessary to keep his spot as the biggest dual threat in entertainment.
'I always knew he loved the business,' Cena said. 'He loves it so much now that he really is the busiest person in the history of the WWE. He's everywhere at once. He can do everything and still compete as WWE champion.'
Rock was in position to call his shots and he picked Cena for his return feud over Punk or any other superstar on the roster. For all the trash talking in the ring, there's a deep respect in real life between two wrestlers who know how to carry the global sports entertainment empire.
'He's been the No. 1 guy in the company for many years now, and has managed to maintain a genuine, optimistic love for the business,' Johnson said. 'Often times, inherently, what the business creates is pessimism over time, and unhappiness. John has been able to stay above that, not get lost in the garbage, and not get lost in the noise. He's very focused, very committed. There's an X-factor about John that moves an audience.'
Rock is among four key stars - including Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker and Triple H - who work a scaled back schedule with main event slots waiting for their returns. The four have combined for five pay-per-view matches since last year's WrestleMania, the kind of work-rate wrestlers on a punishing 200-day-a-year schedule could appreciate more than any five-star match. Amid gripes Rock takes a headline position that could go to a full-time wrester, Cena said Johnson has earned that spot.
'I wish we had one guy with 10 percent of his vision and his aspiration,' he said. 'When he gets a small opportunity, he kicks the damn door down and owns the horse. Often times here, we have superstars that remind me of a hamster on the treadmill and those are the guys that usually complain. I don't take too kindly to them. I'm fortunate Rock's here and I'm glad he's here. He can show up whenever he wants.'
Johnson said he hasn't decided if he'll participate in WrestleMania 30 next year in New Orleans. With a loss Sunday, the anniversary card could set up an epic rubber match. Then again, the WWE would be foolish to leave a Rock-Brock Lesnar bout on the table without a payoff at a major pay-per-view event.
If Rock returns, he'll need to set up that ring for training camps in Budapest, where he'll head after WrestleMania to start shooting 'Hercules.'
Not a wrestling fan? Hate action movies? Well, you've probably seen Johnson pop up the last six months everywhere from a starring role in a Super Bowl milk commercial, or on TV hosting his new reality show, or maybe on your mobile device with the game, 'Rockpocalypse.'
The Rock sure does know his role - to entertain in every available forum.
'I never feel that it's too much because I'm aware of the plan. I put the plan together,' he said, laughing. 'But in that, comes really incredible challenges that require a lot of people to embrace the vision of it, to support it.
'It was one of those things where you take a risk and, fortunately, it's paid off.'
He has the WWE title belt around his waist and a No. 1 movie to prove it.

|Induction Class of 2007
|Previous College:
|UMass Boston '95
|Women's Basketball
Stephanie Bogues was one of the best post players to don the UMass Boston uniform for the women's basketball team from 1985-89 and was named a Little East Conference First Team All-Star as a junior and senior, while being selected to the Second Team as a sophomore. The 5'10" forward was an intimidating force in the blocks for the Beacons owning the school-record for blocks in a game (nine), season (67 in 1986-87) and career with 179 rejections. A 1995 graduate, she also ranks second and sixth on the all-time season blocks list with 58 as a senior and 43 during her sophomore campaign. Bogues wasn't just good at keeping the ball out of the hoop, but she was one of the school's best at collecting it around the rim with 805 career rebounds to rank fourth all-time at UMB, while owning the eighth-highest mark in a season with 276 as a senior and averaging nine or more rebounds per game in three different seasons. The reserved Bogues was named the team's captain for her senior season and responded by leading the squad in scoring and rebounding with 17.1 points and 11.0 rebounds, the seventh and 10th highest averages all-time, respectively, in a season for the Beacons. Her total of 427 points is still the fourth-highest total in school history and gave her 1,129 points for her career, which also places her fourth in school annals. The Dorchester native showed that she could convert from the line as well, making 14 free throws vs. Eastern Nazarene on January 19, 1989, which was a school-record that stood for 18 years. A fixture in UMass Boston's line-up, she started 82 of 84 games, while averaging 13.4 points and 9.6 rebounds, marks that rank her sixth and fourth, respectively, at UMB.

Partnership is key when it comes to preventing and reducing violent crime.
The U.S. Attorney is calling on law enforcement at all levels to work together.
"We have a violence problem in the nation," U.S. Attorney Pat Miles said. "We have an issue where people are not valuing human life."
Miles said gang violence and drugs are a problem in all urban areas, including Mid-Michigan.
"Our office is taking these matters even though they're traditionally local type matters, very seriously," Miles said. "At these times of funding cutbacks both at the local level and at the federal level, it's important that we pool our resources."
It's a task force approach encouraging partnerships throughout federal, state, and local law enforcement to help prevent America's most wanted from striking.
"We all bring different tools to the table: intelligence, man power, equipment," said Gil Salinas, Special Agent in Charge, Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. "Communication is a good one that we keep very open, and that we collaborate and work together for one goal, and that goal is to go after the worst of the worst and put them behind bars, and make our communities safe."
Salinas, Miles, and Lansing's Chief of Police helped put seven men out of Northwest Lansing known as the "Vernon Squad" behind bars on federal drug and firearms charges in January. The chief said violent crime has been reduced locally.
"That trend needs to continue, and the way it continues is with hard work, with the partnerships, and with intelligence sharing, and with the community," Lansing Chief of Police Teresa Szymanski said. "With the community's help, with them engaging the law enforcement officials and them talking about it."
She said neighborhood watch programs work, and that's why the West Side Neighborhood Association is actively engaging the community. Lansing's Fourth Ward City Councilwoman said she's impressed with their efforts, and hopes other neighborhoods will follow.
"It really is a community approach, and we all have to help one another," Jessica Yorko said.
An Assistant U.S. Attorney will be assigned to the Mid-Michigna area to offer help, too.
"By partnering with the public, we can prevent crimes," Miles said.
Data analysis will play a key role in preventing crime as well. Miles said he's also seeking harsher sentences.
To prevent crime even further, he's encouraging businesses to hire ex-offenders, so they don't end up committing more crimes.
The Lansing Police Department said it's in contact with federal liaisons daily.

CSS Variables
Introduces cascading variables as a new primitive value type that is accepted by all CSS properties, and custom properties for defining them.
CSS Custom Properties are included in Edge 15, which shipped today (11th April) with Windows 10 Creators Update.

Vitaliy aka Lops commented
just do it!
Nicolas commented
could be great to add some sass functionalities into Edge and IE11.
using variables and syntax like here http://sass-lang.com/guide
Please act now! Having Chrome and Safari 9.1 supporting CSS Variables very soon, Edge will be the only browser left lacking this feature!
Jan Miksovsky commented
As noted below, CSS Variables are now in WebKit. Apple just announced that they'll be available in OS X Safari 9.1: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/mac/releasenotes/General/WhatsNewInSafari/Articles/Safari_9_1.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014305-CH10-SW1.
Chrome 49 ships support for CSS Variables. Please act now!

CSS variables just landed in WebKit and will soon land in Chrome/Opera, leaving Edge as the only one not implementing.
Lea Verou commented
@Gregory: You cannot emulate CSS variables with a preprocessor, they're dynamic. You can change their value with JS and have it update in every place using the variable automatically. Not to mention that they inherit like all other CSS properties instead of being lexically scoped like they are in preprocessors.
Gregory Bolkenstijn commented
Use a pre-processor people! And vote for more important features.
The Chrome team started to (re)implement this features again:
Arthur Weborg commented
Carter Li commented
Also useful for Web Comonents
As DependencyProperty for CustomControl in WPF.
Carter Li commented
Sass is good but: Once it's compiled, there's no easy way to modify it at client-side. It's *extremely* important when we write animations using javascript.If we have CSS Variables, we only need to modify the variables' value, rather than every element's inline style refers to the changed style.
Evgeny Vrublevsky (VEG) commented
I think that it is very useful function. It is better to support this feature ASAP.
Aaron Gustafson commented
Honestly, I think this is something best left to pre-processors. I don't want the browser to have the overhead of having to process the CSS in this way. Also, there is no fallback for older browsers that don't support variables.
This is a bad idea. I hope it is abandoned.
Dave Eave commented
ommm, use sass

Climate change education can feel like a balancing act between two extremes. Activities using data and graphs, crucial for evidence-based learning, often don't personally resonate, while those featuring polar bears on melting icebergs and sea turtles with plastic in their stomachs can feel emotionally manipulative and overly reductionist.
The NCSE office was recently turned into a time traveling scavenger hunt as a way to prototype a new app-based science outreach activity called Geology Park. This activity breaks new ground for NCSE as it's specifically meant to help adults as well as young people engage with science, and because it integrates real-world tangibles with an NCSE-designed mobile app. Geology Park also breaks the mold of typical science outreach activities in that participants are able to engage without necessarily needing oversight by a facilitator or interpreter.
A Maryland high school environmental club uses a grant from NCSE's Science Booster Club to transform an overgrown garden into an oasis of native plants and beauty, drawing in the surrounding community to help along the way.
The opportunity to directly engage with people in Iowa about climate change and evolution just got a whole lot easier with a $270,000 three-year grant from the Carver Charitable Trust.
The great success of the Science Booster Club Program and the new grant are strong testaments to the power of creating deep partnerships between academic institutions and nonprofit organizations.
As you might have heard, the primary goal of NCSE's Science Booster Club program is to bring evolution and climate change education to public spaces. But that's not all! Booster Clubs raise funds and use the proceeds to fund teacher grants. This fall we were able to accept grant requests from any teacher in a state where we have a booster club, making for an especially competitive funding cycle.
In 2017, NCSE's Science Booster Club program expanded nationally, providing free, engaging educational opportunities to more than 120,000 people in ten states: Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Virginia, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Maryland, Tennessee, and Texas. Our teacher micro-grant program also went national, with grant opportunities expanding beyond Iowa to all the states where booster clubs are active. Booster club members locally raised and awarded ten micro-grants to teachers in six states. These local fundraising efforts allowed teachers to purchase basic equipment such as scales and thermometers, which their districts could not afford to purchase, to enhance their science education experiences. In all, 3,400 students had enriched science learning experiences because of the impact of the micro-grants.
Those of us who coordinate the science booster clubs are inspired by the number of individuals, supporting organizations and institutions, as well as local businesses that came forward this past year to directly support the science booster clubs in their communities. We'd like to thank everyone who supported our grassroots community events, many of which were in Iowa. My sincere hope is that our work in Iowa will provide a national model for growth and change. As we have seen through the success of our national expansion, that process has already begun.
2017 has been a great year for the Science Booster Club Program. Thanks to the support of our donors, the efforts of our volunteers, and the enthusiasm of our staff, we've succeeded in our national expansion. From serving over 50,000 people in Iowa in 2016, we're scheduled to serve over 120,000 people across ten states in 2017. As you can see in the map below, we are working in a broad, largely connected area stretching from Nebraska to the Eastern seaboard.
One of the most satisfying components of the NCSE Science Booster Club program is its microgrant program, in which some of the funds raised by the booster clubs are given away to teachers so that they can provide their students with more hands-on science experiences. In my last blog post, I wrote about some of the teachers who received basic measurement equipment through the Fall 2017 SBC microgrant program.
Kyle McElroy is a graduate student at the University of Iowa who has been working with the Science Booster Club program since the summer of 2015. This is a blog post about his recent experiences in Des Moines.

There's no subway in our city, and this video from New York is enough to make me grateful for that.
A rat is seen scurrying across the floor of a rolling subway car, exploring. At one point, he scampers up the leg of a sleeping man, who awakens to find the rat staring him in the face.
The best part: The startled guy assuring the cameraman he's fine.
Yeah, he may be OK with it, but I'm just a little grossed out. Yuck.

BEIJING — A Chinese oil company said it is relocating a deep-water drilling rig that had operated in contested waters of the South China Sea, causing severe strains in relations between China and Vietnam.
China Oilfield Services Ltd. 601808, -0.55% , a unit of state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corp., said in a statement that its deep-water HYSY 981 drilling rig had completed exploration and drilling operations off Triton Island, or Zhongjian Island in Chinese. The island is part of the Paracel Islands chain, claimed by China and Vietnam.
The rig's operator, known as COSL, couldn't be reached for comment.
China's Foreign Ministry reiterated Wednesday that Chinese companies were within their rights to undertake work around the Paracel Islands. It said it opposed interference by Vietnam and had taken "necessary measures to safeguard the safety of operations" by COSL.
Vietnam protested Chinese drilling in the area after it began in early May and has sent coast guard vessels to confront the rig. Dozens of Chinese and Vietnamese maritime vessels had massed near the disputed rig, with each side claiming its ships had been violently rammed by the other's.

Before you get comfortably seated and latch your belts on, let me warn you that this post is going to take you back in time – not prehistoric, of course. Nevertheless, a time span of a month in a B school's dictionary is equivalent to at least a year in common man's terms as soooo many activities that keep you busy. I wrote this post more than a month ago … but you'd get a glimpse of what went through even if it was way back in the past …
The past week had been good and exciting. We are almost half way into the second quarter and only this week I could gather my courage to open my Finance text book. All these days, I relied on my classroom attention, few of my classmates' help in understanding the substance behind the homework problems. I have never had any Finance course before. For that matter, any course in the business curriculum. All my learning have been on the job. Why I did not take the book out for so long? One reason may be psychological – when you aspire to be good at something (of which you had no introduction whatsoever), you are so nervous that you fear you might not become as good at it as you want to be. So as long as you delay the onset of that particular task, you keep telling yourself that 'if I spend some time with it, I can master it', living in the belief that as long as I do not start doing it, there is always a possibility of the unknown that I might become a master of it. The moment I start doing it, I can see for clear where I stand and that might not be very pleasant. So in short I was postponing that unpleasantness. However, to the contrary, the moment I organized myself and started reading, I found myself engaged in it, understanding most of it and not at all unhappy about the few things that escaped my mind. I keep telling myself on why I wanted to do an MBA – it was not to strengthen my strengths but to weaken my weaknesses; to learn that I never had learned before. Finance is one such – I know that this is the only place and the only chance to learn it. Since am not-so-good at it as of today, I want to learn more of it. The 'grades are not important' aspect helps my learning by taking the pressure off. Not that I will relax and flunk or get bad grades, but had there been any pressures on grades, I would probably take those which am already good at, thereby adding lesser value to my time here. So yes, 'grades are not important' policy helps. 🙂
Talking of learning, I learned a valuable piece of approaching an issue from one of my classmates during the internal case competition that we had last week. We had an amazing team, sharing the responsibilities, a team where everyone's voice was heard and a decision was reached only after we arrived at a uniform consensus. I learned how to keep the solutions simple and down to earth, how to de-clutter everything in front and see the crux of the situation. I learned that we need not have lofty ideas to deal with an issue and the sooner we see the immediate implications of an issue/solution, the better it would be.
Next weekend will be another competition at the Microsoft HQ, where we would be competing with tepper, nyu, cornell and ross schools of business. It is first time for Fisher in this and I am greatly looking forward to it. It's been an adventurous journey so far from bringing Firenze to OSU, recruiting students from the engineering and the design schools till this point of having crossed two rounds. Working with them was enjoyable and a beautiful learning experience. I saw in practice the different workings of the left and the right brainers – can not express in words. The moment there is a human element to the solution, views differ so much that its amusing to watch and participate in those debates. I am extremely glad that I got such a committed team and am very excited and happy to be representing OSU at the MSFT HQ. Looking forward to it! 🙂
Oh yea! I didn't get to the 3rd C – maybe next week 😛

#137 Save Battery Life on your Smartphone or Laptop
November 15, 2012
Hopefully you found Monday's tip on using power management settings to lengthen your battery life helpful. Today's tip goes a little deeper and takes a look at some simple changes you can take to improve battery life even more.
Lower your screen brightness: Most of the energy use on your devices comes from the display. Try turning down the brightness level, you may be surprised at how big of a difference it makes.
Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth: When you're not using them, disable WiFi and bluetooth radios. These features drain the battery, even when not in use.

Brownsea Island
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
|Provisional Summer Camp programs are sometimes called "Brownsea Island" programs.
After returning as a military hero from service in Africa, Robert Baden-Powell discovered that English boys were reading the manual on stalking and survival in the wilderness he had written for British soldiers. He rewrote the manual as a nonmilitary nature skill book and called it Scouting for Boys. To test his ideas, Baden-Powell brought together 22 boys to camp at Brownsea Island, off the coast of England. This historic campout was a success and resulted in the advent of Scouting.
The Brownsea Island Scout camp was a boys camping event on Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour, southern England, organized by Lieutenant-General Baden-Powell to test his ideas for the book Scouting for Boys. Twenty boys from different social backgrounds participated from August 1 to August 8, 1907 in activities around camping, observation, woodcraft, chivalry, lifesaving and patriotism. Recognized as the world's first Scout camp, the event is regarded as the real origin of the worldwide Scout movement.
Today, Scouts still enjoy Brownsea Island. The 1973 and 2007 World Jamborees were held on Brownsea Island.
Provisional Summer Camp
The original Brownsea Island summer camp was comprised of boys who were not from the same troop (there were no troops yet). In the spirit of this tradition local councils are to provide a Provisional Camping option for boys who are not able to attend summer camp with their troop. Provisional Summer Camp programs are sometimes called "Brownsea Island" programs.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Enforcement Division hasapproved a marine event permit for the upcoming Tour du Teche canoe race from Sept. 17-19.
The 130-mile race on Bayou Techewill begin at Port Barre on Sept. 17 at 8 a.m. with a finish line at Patterson. There will be a 60-hour cutoff to finish this inaugural race.
To register for the race and more information on fees, the mandatory meeting on Sept. 16 and rules, please visit www.techeproject.com/tour-du-teche.html [3].
The Tour du Teche is a part of the Teach Ecology, Culture and History Education (TECHE) Project that originated in Summer 2009 in St. Landry Parish. The project aims to make Bayou Teche a healthier waterway for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, boating, tubing and swimming.
"The department was happy to issue a marine event permit for the inaugural Tour du Teche canoe race since it corresponds with the department's mission to conserve and protect the state's natural resources and met the permit approval guidelines," said Lt. Col. Jeff Mayne. "We hope this canoe race really catches on and helps improve the recreational and aesthetic qualities of the Bayou Teche watershed in the future."
The department issues marine event permits for any organized event held on the water that introduces extra or unusual safety hazards on navigable waterways. Permit forms can be found at www.wlf.louisiana.gov/permits [4] and must be turned in to the department at least 30 days prior to any event.
According to the Teche Project Web site, "One goal of the TECHE Project and Tour du Teche is to educate people about water quality and the need for nonpoint source pollution prevention and reduction. Discovery can take place with an interactive, hands-on experience on and along Bayou Teche. Tour du Teche will work with the National Park Service, parishes and towns to identify public access needs and help implement improvement activities. Education kiosks will be built to provide self-directed education to boaters and paddlers about water quality, preventing non-point source pollution, native flora and birds, culture, history as well as boater safety information for children and adults."
For more information, contact Adam Einck at 225-765-2465 or email@example.com [5].

An 80-year-old man with severe central sleep apnea due to Cheyne-Stokes breathing (AHI 41.2) caused by severe cardiac failure underwent a trial of adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) by full face mask after failure of a fixed CPAP trial. Recommended procedure was closely followed and the ASV device activated normally during central apneas. Initial settings were EEP 5, PSmin 3, PSmax 15 on room air. The device did not capture the thorax or abdomen, as shown by lack of change in respiratory inductive plethysmography, despite expected mask pressure waveforms. Snoring was also detected during apneas with device activation. Desaturation continued, followed by arousals during hyperpnea. On the device, the patient clearly slept for 1-3 epochs during the central apneas only to awaken during hyperpnea. We hypothesize that the failure to capture may have resulted from "reverse" obstructive apnea, possibly due to glottic closure during ASV activation. We suggest that earlier manual adjustments to ASV in cases such as ours, prior to waiting for the recommended 20 to 40 min of sleep, may be appropriate in selected patients. We also consider additional interventions that may increase the likelihood of a successful trial.
Reddy H; Dillard TA. A failure of adaptive servo-ventilation to correct central apneas in cheyne-stokes breathing. J Clin Sleep Med 2012;8(1):103-106.
Central sleep apnea (CSA) or Cheyne-Stokes breathing (CSB) occurs in approximately 40% of patients with congestive heart failure.1 These respiratory patterns produce severe sleep disruption with recurrent arousals and awakenings irrespective of systolic function1,2 and are associated with decreased survival.3 Common modalities employed to treat CSA/CSB include nasal oxygen,4,6 continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP),5,6 and bilevel positive airway pressure,6 with success in some but failure in many.
Another approach to treatment of central sleep apnea consists of adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV), which can provide mandatory breaths during central apneas in addition to variable bilevel PAP. ASV has shown superiority to other modalities in decreasing the apnea-hypopnea index and increasing sleep quality in the form of N3 and REM sleep in patients with cardiac failure.6
We report a patient with CSB due to chronic systolic congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension whose central apneas did not correct with ASV. We observed failure to capture thoracic or abdominal motion by ASV despite careful adherence to the treatment protocol specified by the manufacturer.
An 80-year-old Caucasian male was referred from pulmonary hypertension clinic to the sleep laboratory for complaints of increasing dyspnea on exertion and worsening pedal edema. Past medical history included myocardial infarctions requiring coronary stent placement twice, systolic congestive heart failure, mixed pulmonary hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, moderate chronic obstructive lung disease, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. His medications included warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, lisinopril, isosorbide, furosemide, carvedilol, bosentan, atorvastatin, and metformin. He did not regularly take narcotics but had a prescription for acetaminophen/propoxyphene for use as needed.
He has had multiple hospital admissions for congestive heart failure exacerbations. His ejection fraction was 15% by left heart catheterization. Right heart catheterization showed a pulmonary artery pressure of 80/33 mm Hg with both passive and non-passive components, and no response to nitric oxide inhalation. He began bosentan for his pulmonary hypertension and showed some improvement clinically. However, he developed atrial flutter which persisted but could not undergo cardioversion because of left atrial thrombus. He was worsening clinically; decompensated congestive heart failure led to the request for polysomnography. He had marked daytime sleepiness, with an Epworth Sleepiness Scale score of 21/24.
On examination, his vital signs were: blood pressure 156/66; heart rate 66; respiratory rate 18; temperature 96°F; and pulse oximetry saturation 98% on room air. His body mass index was 24 kg/m2. He did not appear in respiratory distress at rest. On chest examination, he had bilateral decreased air entry with no adventitial sounds. Jugular venous distension was present. Heart sounds were normal and regular. There was no murmur heard. Extremities showed pitting lower extremity edema bilaterally up to his scrotum. Recent arterial blood gas showed pH 7.44, pCO2 27.8, and pO2 94 on room air.
Polysomnography (SomnoStar 9.1d) included monitoring of 6 standard EEG electrodes, 2 EOG electrodes, 3 chin EMG electrodes, right and left leg EMG, chest EKG in 2 leads, snore, nasal pressure (BINAPS, Salter Labs, Arvin CA), oro-nasal airflow by thermistor (Thermisense Salter Labs, Arvin CA), and respiratory effort by respirator inductive plethysmography (Respiband adult, Palm Springs CA). Table 1 shows polysomnography data. The initial diagnostic phase before CPAP showed central sleep apnea syndrome due to Cheyne-Stokes breathing (Figure 1). The apnea-hypopnea index AHI was 41.2 events/h, with 88% scored as central apneas. There was marked fragmentation of sleep, with an arousal plus awakening index of 53 per hour.

Figure shows 4 central apneas followed by hyperpneas with arousals. Desaturation is shown, also. CPAP channel is off. Nasal pressure and thermistor flow with central apneas are shown. Snore channel is silent during central apneas.
Split-study protocol was invoked, and the patient was titrated on fixed CPAP by nasal soft gel mask (Mirage, ResMed) with and without chin strap and full face mask (Comfort Gel, Respironics) from 6 to 10 mm Hg over 3 h 45 min. CPAP did not eliminate the central apneas, although saturation improved. He continued to have central apneas with arousals and awakenings.
Adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV, ResMed Corp, Poway CA) was performed within 2 months of the baseline split study using a ResMed Mirage Quattro large size full face mask with initial settings of end expiratory pressure (EEP) 5 cm H2O, and minimum and maximum pressure support (minPS, maxPS) of 3 and 15 cm H2O, respectively. We carefully followed the procedure recommended by the manufacturer.7 Successful use of ASV was not achieved. We observed mask pressure waveforms (Figure 2) and frequency which varied somewhat during the study, consistent with activation of the device. We observed persistence of apneas, as identified by lack of motion in respiratory inductive plethysmograph tracings of abdomen and thorax despite pressure deflections observed in the mask pressure waveform (Figure 2). We also observed waveforms on the snore channel during device activation only (Figure 2). The patient typically had 1-3 epochs of N1 or N2 sleep during apneas followed by awakenings during hyperpnea. Technician observations confirmed the activation of ASV during residual apneas without capture of the chest or abdomen. Air leak was absent throughout the night with few exceptions. The baseline pulse oximetry saturation was improved on ASV.
Compressed view of a treatment polysomnogram on ASV showing ten 30-sec epochs
CPAP channel is actually ASV showing mask pressure delivered by the device at the frequency shown. Note also signal on the snore channel during ASV activation.
Despite the failure to reach 20 to 40 minutes of sleep, minimum pressure support was manually increased to 4 cm H2O, but there was no benefit. A repeat trial of ASV with further manual changes and sedation was recommended, but the patient declined.
We followed the manufacturer's recommendation not to manually change settings before 20 to 40 minutes of sleep. Although the patient did sleep on ASV, this was only during the apneas for a few epochs. He continued to have awakenings due to hyperpnea following apneas. Later in the study, manually increasing the minimum pressure support level gave no benefit. Whether manual adjustment earlier in the study would have been beneficial was not determined but would be useful information.
In the present case, we hypothesize that glottic closure may have caused "reverse" obstructive apneas, caused by the device, resulting in the observed pattern of mask pressure waves with no chest or abdominal motion. The presence of "reverse" snoring during the device activation supports this hypothesis and also tends to exclude obstruction in the glossopharynx as the cause of failure to capture. Conceivably, full face mask application may have predisposed to reverse obstruction. In the study by Teschler and colleagues, nasal masks were used exclusively for ASV.6 Other possibilities for failure to capture the chest and abdomen appear unlikely in our patient, who was not obese, and had only moderate obstruction with no restriction on pulmonary function testing.
We believe this is the first report of failure to capture chest wall and abdominal motion with ASV in peer-reviewed literature. The concept of reverse obstructive apneas also appears novel.
The purpose of this case report is to alert sleep physicians to other potential cases where ASV fails to capture. In such cases, we suggest manual intervention at an earlier time than 20 to 40 min of sleep, perhaps after 60 minutes without persistent sleep. Options for intervention include manually raising PSmin progressively, manually raising EEP above minimum, changing mask device, and providing sedative medication. Sedatives are routinely given at some sleep centers although our policy has generally been to prescribe when intolerance to positive airway pressure necessitates repeat trial of therapy.
This was not an industry supported study. The authors have indicated no financial conflicts of interest.

More than 32,000 individuals and 4000 US organisations have potentially been compromised as part of a new malware campaign that targets local institutions like community halls, shopping centres and schools.
The compromised hosts belonged to government, technology and defence industry staff who RSA said were targeted in a single attack by criminals wanting to get inside the companies' networks.
The attackers hoped hijacked machines would be taken back inside the corporate network where the malware would infect more machines and steal data.
Attackers had infected the websites of banks and even schools near the residential areas where employees likely lived.
These sites served as community hubs and were likely to be visited by many of the targeted individuals, RSA chief information security officer Eddie Schwartz told SC.
The security firm dubbed the sites "watering holes" in recognition of their ability to draw crowds, and as a hunting ground for predators.
Initial reports from RSA's server logs reported most victims were located in Massachuttes and Washington DC.
However, Schwartz said the attacks were happening elsewhere including Asia.
"These [victims] are your school web sites and banks -— any organisation within certain geographic locations," Schwartz said.
"I bet any money it's happening in Australia."
Victim websites would be loaded with a JavaScript that redirected users to other sites which hosted exploit kits.
Those exploit sites would check that a victim was running both Windows and a vulnerable version of Internet Explorer before an instance of the Gh0st remote access tool was installed.
That tool granted attackers a host of functions including the ability to install malware and grab data.
RSA researchers are drafting a paper expected to be released in coming weeks that details more information on the attacks.

NEW YORK -- No love for Uggs: Shares of the sheepskin boots maker, Deckers Outdoor Corp., tumbled 16 percent Friday to a three-year low because consumers have turned away just before the start of the holiday shopping season.
The company on Thursday slashed its outlook for the rest of the year after its third-quarter profit dropped 31 percent. It blamed two years of price increases for turning shoppers off Uggs, which have been perennial holiday best-sellers, as well as the mild weather this year.
In an effort to lure back shoppers, Deckers said it's going to roll back prices on some Uggs styles in the U.S.
The company now expects profit to drop 14 percent in the October-December quarter, when shoppers come out in droves to make holiday purchases. The Goleta, Calif., company had previously predicted that profit would jump 22 percent in those months.
Some analysts are even more pessimistic than the company, and don't think colder weather this winter will drive up sales.
Sam Poser, an analyst at Sterne Agee, said that "the worst is yet to come." Weaker Uggs sales might not just be due to weather, but may indicate that the boots have fallen out of fashion, he said. Poser expects Deckers to miss its already-lowered guidance for the fourth quarter, and that order cancellations will put "severe pressure" on the company next year.
Stifel Nicolaus analyst Jim Duffy said that Uggs sales may decline even more. Revenue from the brand, Deckers' largest, fell 12 percent in the third quarter. He cut Deckers to "Hold" from "Buy."
Shares of Deckers, which also owns the Teva sport sandal brand, fell $5.82 to $29.67 in morning trading Friday. Shares earlier touched as low as $28.85, the stock's lowest point since November 2009. Even before Friday, shares had already lost more than half their value this year.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese Move Forward With 'Wolf Of Wall Street'
One of the hardest working directors in all of mainstream Hollywood definitely is Martin Scorsese. There's been a lot of debate on which project Scorsese would take on next, especially since he's been rumored to be attached to a few different projects, but he finally picked his next movie.
A couple of months ago it was reported that Martin Scorsese would possibly direct 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' based off the memoir written by Jordan Belfort, with Leonardo DiCaprio in the starring role. All has been quiet on this project until today when Deadline confirmed that this will be his next project. The script is adapted by Terence Winter ('Boardwalk Empire').
In 'Wolf of Wall Street,' the story centers on Belfort's dramatic rise and fall on Wall Street, along with his hard-partying lifestyle and tumultuous personal life, which included drug and alcohol addiction. Producing the film is Riza Aziz, Joey McFarland under Red Granite Pictures along with DiCaprio under his Appian Way banner. Other producers on the project include Scorsese, Emma Koskoff and Alexandra Milchan.
This is the first time in awhile that Martin Scorsese is tackling a picture that is based off of a true story. The last time he did one of those movies it was 'The Aviator,' but since this story line is a bit darker this sounds like it's something around the 'Casino' and 'Goodfellas' wheelhouse. Bring it on!

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- A birth control method that shows the 12-day "fertile window" of a woman's period using beads is more effective than a condom, U.S. researchers say.
Victoria Jennings -- a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Georgetown University Medical Center Institute for Reproductive Health at Georgetown University Medical Center -- said the Standard Days Method identifies the 12-day "fertile window" of a woman's menstrual cycle, taking into account the life span of an egg, 24 hours, and the viable life of sperm, about five days.
The researchers tracked study participants for three years. An earlier study that tracked women for one year found the new method was more than 95 percent effective at avoiding pregnancy -- higher than a diaphragm or condoms.
The Institute for Reproductive Health developed CycleBeads, a string of 32 color-coded beads with each bead representing a day of the menstrual cycle.
Beginning with the red bead, which represents the first day of her menstrual period, a woman moves a small rubber ring one bead each day. The brown beads are the days when pregnancy is very unlikely, and the glow-in-the dark white beads -- beads 8-19 -- represent her fertile days, Jennings said.
The study, scheduled to be published in the October issue of the Journal of Family Planning & Reproductive Health Care, found the multi-country three-year study of 1,659 women indicated women are likely to continue to use the method, and to use it effectively.

The FaithOfJesus2 Daily Devotional Year 2
( FaithOfJesus thread begun by rRandyP )
Today's Verse:
kjv@Matthew:26:6 @ Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
kjv@Matthew:26:7 @ There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
kjv@Matthew:26:8 @ But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
kjv@Matthew:26:9 @ For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
kjv@Matthew:26:10 @ When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
kjv@Matthew:26:11 @ For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
kjv@Matthew:26:12 @ For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
kjv@Matthew:26:13 @ Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
Today's notes: The Alabaster Box
- Before - Two days
- After - seeking opportunity to betray
What is man believing/doing?:
- dining with Jesus
- one anointing Jesus for burial, others indignant about the expense/waste of it and what might have been done with the price
- various beliefs about the poor
- later when preaching the gospel memorializing this woman
What is making man believe/do as he is:
- a partial denial of the impending death of Jesus and the reverence due
- a mention previously by Jesus of selling all and giving to poor if one wants to be perfect
- deep personal reverence, mourning and the rites of burial, sparing no expense
- (the implication that perfection is not always the personal objective)
- (implication of either a command/revelation given her or strong heart felt emotional reaction chosen to be acted upon)
Key Messages:
- What does this say about our present condition?
- One out of many had the Lord's death and burial on her mind. The mind is most likely in these times to prioritize according to denials (partial?) and justification (self) and suspicions of others intents, therefore lending the majority to near immediate judgment.
- The suspicion/judgment may have been made by one or few people initially, but others no doubt came (were brought) to the same conclusion upon the murmur of accusation. Others may have technically remained passive, but the product of the group equates to the same.
- An intention, even a bold expensive charitable notion to the poor can appear to be sound and spiritual, but at it's core be made indifferent by certain occasion/situation. Certain environments trump best though common understanding, the impending sacrifice of our Lord being one. Thankfully we have this woman as a constant reminder not to overlook the obvious opportunities for pure unadulterated reverence.
