Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!

Penguins in Patagonia: Ecology and Conservation at Scales from Very Small to Very Large
Dave Stokes
Beloved by humans and living far from most human populations, many penguin populations are nonetheless declining due to diverse interactions with people. To effectively protect penguins, conservation measures must respond to the ecologies of both humans and penguins at the multiple spatial scales at which they interact. In this talk, Stokes presents current research on Magellanic penguins in coastal Argentina. Examining small-scale behavioral ecology processes (e.g., penguin nest site selection and mate choice) and larger-scale processes (eg. penguin foraging and geographic-scale seasonal migration), he relates these processes to human interactions, from colony site management and penguin nesting habitat use, to commercial activities such as fishing, marine transport, and petroleum development.
Dave Stokes investigates the ecology and conservation implications of migration and movement of diverse organisms: penguins, salamanders, and invasive plants. He also has research interests in various topics in behavioral ecology such as habitat selection and mate choice in penguins, effectiveness of GIS-based conservation planning, and human biodiversity preferences.

A People's History of Mass Incarceration: Black Power and the Carceral State
Dan Berger
Why did the rise of mass incarceration coincide with the rise of a grassroots movement against imprisonment? Throughout the civil rights era, black activists turned prisoners into symbols of racial oppression while arguing that confinement was an inescapable part of black life in the United States. This talk, based on his new book Captive Nation: Black Prison Organizing in the Civil Rights Era, explores the history of grassroots opposition to imprisonment and what that activism means for the contemporary carceral state.
Dan Berger's research emphasizes critical race theory, social movements, and American history, with a special emphasis on where these forces align through the carceral state. His theoretical framework looks at bottoms-up explorations of identity, politics, activism, and the state.

In June 2012, the ASPCA rescued dozens of dogs from a Bronx dog fighting ring. Andrea K. adopted one of these special dogs, named 17, and shared the following story with us:
In May 2012, I lost my Pit Bull of 11 years, Mojo Jojo, to osteosarcoma. My heart was broken. I knew I would adopt another Pit Bull but wasn't quite ready yet. I decided to foster a puppy named 17. He fit in really well, and loves his housemates—we have three Staffordshire Bull Terriers named Charlie, Rumble and Page, and two adopted cats named Mush and Viggo. After about three weeks, we decided to officially adopt him.
As a dog trainer, I felt it was important to socialize 17, taking him to new places, introducing him to people and dogs during his foster period. Walking in town was a challenge. If a bus or truck passed by, or if 17 heard a loud noise, he would try to get back to the house. Walking him with our confident, adult dogs Rumble and Charlie, as well as bringing food along, helped 17 learn to walk in town without fear. At first, 17 was also hesitant to use the stairs leading up to our home. After a few weeks of eating breakfast on the steps, he overcame his fear.
17 is an avid swimmer, which we discovered when we took him to the beach—I could hardly hold onto his leash when he saw the water. Wearing a life jacket, 17 will fetch a ball over and over in the ocean. He's also enjoying agility classes. We also do a sport called lure coursing, which he took to right away. He has competed in Coursing Ability Tests and earned his first title in May.
A lot of people ask us why his name is 17. When we first took him home, his paperwork said #17/Arthur, meaning 17 of the 47 dogs in the case. "17" stuck and it is perfect because people always ask about it, which gives us an opportunity to educate people that great dogs really can come from cases of cruelty and neglect. No one forgets his name, either.
We'd like to thank the ASPCA for the great work they do and the opportunity they give animals like 17 every day in their work.

This story was corrected Feb. 18. An explanation follows the story.
Several Republicans are weighing their options for a gubernatorial run in 2014, an admitted uphill climb in a heavily Democratic state, but at least one former party leader believes the results of an internal poll last year gives the GOP some hope.
Former Senate Minority Leader Martin G. Madden (R) said a telephone poll of 813 registered voters that Gonzales Research and Marketing strategies conducted for him in September showed a "possible path" to victory in the governor's race.
The poll found that 49 percent of respondents said Maryland was on the wrong track, while 42 percent said the state was on the right track. It also indicated that 47 percent of Democrats and unaffiliated voters, combined, said they would consider voting for a Republican, particularly one with a record as a moderate on social issues and conservative on state spending. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
Madden, who represented District 13, bridging Prince George's and Howard counties, said the poll showed the path to the governor's seat narrow and difficult for a Republican, but that the best route was to run with public financing.
Public financing prohibits a candidate from taking contributions from businesses, special interest groups or political action committees. Some 45 percent of voters overall, and 40 percent of Democrats, said they were more likely to vote for a gubernatorial candidate who relied on public financing. Republican Ellen Sauerbrey took that route and lost by fewer than 6,000 votes when she took on former Gov. Parris N. Glendening (D) in 1994.
Madden, who eventually decided against a bid for governor after talking with party members around the state and studying the poll results, said he would have opted for public financing had he run.
"I lit a lot of matches and went to a lot of Lincoln Day dinners, but I couldn't get a fire started," said Madden, 63, who left the legislature in January 2002. On the other hand, he said, "in the age of social media" the few million dollars that a publicly financed candidate is limited to "goes a lot further than it used to."
Outgoing Maryland Republican Party Chairman Alexander X. Mooney agrees.
"It's doable, but difficult," said Mooney, who took on the chairmanship after former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) lost his rematch with Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) in 2010.
Fundraising is tough because, although Republicans are in some county offices, the GOP doesn't hold any statewide posts, said Mooney, who announced last week that he will step down from leading the party at the end of the month.
The sheer voter numbers weigh heavily for the Democrats in the bluest of blue states.
Democrats make up 2.06 million, or 55.7 percent, of Maryland's almost 3.7 million voters. Republicans account for almost 960,000 voters, or 26 percent, and unaffiliated make up 16.6 percent.
Mooney said many businesses believe they have to contribute to Democrats because they hold the power, but that "is a self-fulfilling prophecy."
As for potential candidates for governor, Dr. Ben Carson, a world-renowned neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins hospital who was born poor in Baltimore and has a compelling personal story, has campaigned for some Republicans and would make a great candidate, but has not been convinced to run, Mooney said.
Former U.S. Senate candidate Daniel Bongino, a former Secret Service agent, said last week he plans to run in the 2014 election, but wouldn't say for which seat.
Bongino turned aside suggestions that he succeed Mooney as GOP chairman or seek to finish the term of Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold (R), who stepped down after his conviction on misconduct charges last month.
Kendel S. Ehrlich, wife of former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., is interested in that office. A former Anne Arundel prosecutor, Ehrlich said she sees an opportunity to restore integrity and confidence in the county's administration, tainted by Leopold's misuse of county workers for political and personal purposes, including concealing his affair with a county employee. The Anne Arundel council is scheduled to pick Leopold's replacement Thursday.
Ehrlich said she would not run for county executive in 2014 and could not be recruited to run for governor then either.
Larry Hogan, a Republican who was appointments secretary for the Ehrlich administration, established a "grass-roots" group called Change Maryland and is said to be weighing a run for governor.
Harford County Executive David R. Craig (R) said he will know by June whether to make a bid for governor.
Blaine Young, a Republican who is president of the Frederick County Commissioners and whose father is state Democratic Sen. Ronald Young, is raising money for what he has said might be a gubernatorial bid.
Former state Del. Donald Murphy, a Republican, says both Craig and Young have "credible experience and a record to run on and the ability to raise money."
Murphy likes Young's chances and said any conflicts involving his family's separate allegiances "would just get his name in the paper that much more."
Murphy said any disagreements would simply show "his family is as dysfunctional as the state."
There is also a movement to draft businessman and Marine Corps Reserve officer Charles Lollar, a Republican who took on U.S. House Whip Steny H. Hoyer (D-Dist. 5) in 2010 and won the Southern Maryland counties of St. Mary's and Calvert.
With funding thin, Republicans will find winning a major challenge unless Democrats falter with a scandal or weak candidate, said James Gimpel, political science professor at the University of Maryland, College Park.
Although the percentage of unaffiliated voters has grown in the state, they aren't particularly well informed and are influenced by those around them, he said.
Voters tend to cast ballots "in personal, short-term interests," and in Maryland, where many voters rely on government employment, that tilts the scales toward the Democrats, Gimpel said.
"The only Republican who would have a good chance would be a populist," said Del. Patrick L. McDonough (R-Dist. 7) of Middle River. "I think there are issues a Republican can run on that would resonate."
The story should have said that in 2010, 5th Congressional District Republican candidate Charles Lollar won St. Mary's and Calvert counties in Southern Maryland, but lost the Charles County vote.

What is anthracnose? This fungal disease affects many plants, including vegetables, fruits, and trees. It causes dark, sunken lesions on leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits. It also attacks developing shoots and expanding leaves. It can spread very quickly during rainy seasons.
How to Identify Anthracnose
- On leaves, anthracnose generally appears first as small, irregular yellow or brown spots. These spots darken as they age and may also expand, covering the leaves.
- On vegetables, it can affect any part of the plant.
- On fruits, it produces small, dark, sunken spots, which may spread. In moist weather, pinkish spore masses form in the center of these spots. Eventually, the fruits will rot.
- On trees, it can kill the tips of young twigs. It also attacks the young leaves, which develop brown spots and patches. It can also cause defoliation of the tree.
How to Control Anthracnose
- Remove and destroy any infected plants in your garden. For trees, prune out the dead wood and destroy the infected leaves.
- You can try spraying your plants with a copper-based fungicide, though be careful because copper can build up to toxic levels in the soil for earthworms and microbes. For trees, try a dormant spray of bordeaux mix.
- Plant resistant plants, or buy healthy transplants.
- Plant your plants in well-drained soil. You can also enrich the soil with compost in order to help plants resist diseases.
- Water your plants with a drip sprinkler, as opposed to an overhead sprinkler. Don't touch the plants when they are wet.
- Keep ripening fruits from touching the soil.
- Remember to rotate your plants every 2 to 3 years.

Speaking of side action. We will have CTPs on every hole for $1. This year it will be a bit differnt. Pros are playing long tees both rounds, so they will have their own set of CTP flags and AMs will have their own set. I have color coded note cards that will be on each hole. The orange cards will be for all Am divisions that choose to pay a dollar to compete for the CTP on each given hole. This way Ams have a greater chance of winning several or a few CTPs. Pros will have their own set with green note cards. If all the Pros get in on every hole ($24) each hole will be worth $32. If all of the Ams get in on every hole vale = $82 per hole.
This is a great chance to win some extra money. Like I say each year, Fright Flight will have more side action than a dog track!
We will also have $2 ace fund. If it is not hit we can donate it to the Jim Warner fund or clot if not. Vote later on it.
As far as overbooking the field it happens to the best and wrost of us. Sounds like Clunk aint dropping out now, so unless someone else does we will have a log jam 6 pack out there. Please don't misinterpret the sixer thing . Either way, we should get 2 rounds of 24 holes in without much problem.
So, bring plenty of money for side action CTPs, tournament tshirts (only 35 will be available) full color tournament stamp price = $10 only sizes available L,XL. I will also have some Glide shirts available $15 each. They are Patigonia shirts with a front chest print that reads "Glide Disc Golf" , reall nice shirts.
It looks like all fees will be covered for each divsion which totals around $1,500. Whatever added cash is left will be distributed fairly equally to each division.
Be glad you preregistered, this is going to be a great tournament.
See you Sat,

"Display Density" settings
Gmail automatically adjusts the amount or "density" of information on a page when you adjust your browser window or when you use different sized screens (when you view your Gmail account on a small computer monitor versus a large one, for example). The "Display Density" setting affects how much space you see between labels, around inbox sections, and between individual messages in your inbox.
If you prefer a denser view no matter what size your monitor, then you can set a limit on your default density. This setting reflects the lowest density--the most space--permitted for your account. If you make your browser window smaller or move to a smaller screen, Gmail will still automatically resize to a higher density so that you can navigate your inbox with ease, but it will never be less dense than you requested.
Here's how it works:
|Small screen
|Medium screen
|Big screen
To adjust this limit, just follow these steps:
- Click the gear icon at the top corner of your inbox.
- Choose from Comfortable (least dense), Cozy, and Compact (densest).
If you don't see an immediate change, it's because your browser is currently smaller than permissible with the selected density. In this case you'll see that the setting is annotated with "on larger screens." We also annotate the density that Gmail is currently using with "current view."
Changing this setting doesn't affect any other Google products you use.

Meet our students
John Gijsen, 48
Hometown: Danville, Ill.
Current City: Hortonville, Wis.
Position: Lean facilitator at ThedaCare
Graduated: December 2012
John Gijsen is no stranger to change. On top of moving more than 30 times throughout his life, his educational path has changed drastically.
He started going to college for photography in Illinois, then switched to aviation management through a school in Utah and became a commercial pilot.
He later moved to Scotland where he went into manufacturing, became a pilot again, and now Gijsen is at UW Oshkosh for his second bachelor's degree, which he said helped him secure his job as a lean facilitator at ThedaCare.
Chris Friedrich, 30
Hometown: Oshkosh, Wis.
Current City: Hortonville, Wis.
Graduated: May 2012, Bachelor's of Liberal Studies
Current position: Personal Banker Leadership Development Trainee at Baylake Bank
In 2010, Chris Friedrich was in his sixth year of college and he said he felt like he would never be able to graduate. That's when Friedrich said fate led him to meet then UW Oshkosh online degree and certificate programs adviser Kelly Hudson.
Friedrich, then a personal banker at Associated Bank, met Hudson when she came to him to refinance the loan on her house. Friedrich later turned to Hudson for help in completing his bachelor's degree.
"I came into Kelly's office, and we spent two and a half hours talking. Kelly laid out two different pathways to graduation," Friedrich said. "I chose the liberal studies option."
The online liberal studies degree through the Division of Lifelong Learning and Community Engagement allows students to combine coursework in a number of disciplines to help them develop a broad base of skills necessary for becoming a leader in the workplace, which Friedrich said helped him get his current job at Baylake Bank.
Michael Harvey
Michael Harvey, 28
Michael Harvey's path to earning a bachelor's degree has been anything but traditional. After spending two years at UW-Fox Valley, he left school for Phoenix, Arizona. Two years later, he moved to San Antonio, Texas, where he was a medic in the National Guard. Now, Harvey is back in Wisconsin and attending school at UW Oshkosh. His major changed throughout the years from history to nursing to social work and finally to human services.
"My life and schooling has been a nonstop journey, and I think that's for everybody," Harvey said. "You just never really know until something clicks. Once you find that niche and know what works for you and drives you, everything will be clearer."

Jerry Kane traveled the country with his son giving seminars on what he called "mortgage fraud" and offering advice on foreclosure strategies. This frame grab is from a YouTube video of a class in Fontana, California in early August, 2009.
Mug shots of Jerry Kane after his New Mexico arrest on April 10. He was charged with concealing his identity and driving with a suspended/revoked license. He posted $1,500 bond and was released April 12. The Arkansas State Police has identified the two men killed in a gunbattle Thursday that left two West Memphis police officers dead as Kane, 45, and his son, Joseph T. Kane, who is believed to be 16.

Jerry Kane placed a sign disparaging Clark County Municipal Court Judge Denise Moody in front of his home after the judge ruled against him in a 2004 court case for expired license plates and no seat belts. Kane later complained to Clark County Sheriff Gene Kelly that Moody was "attempting to enslave him" by sentencing him to six days community service.
Heather Kane - One of the daughters of Jerry Kane, the 45-year-old anti-government extremist Arkansas State Police believe killed two West Memphis policeman last week, pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree murder for a 2006 plot to kill a woman she discovered on her ex-boyfriend's MySpace page. Heather Michelle Kane, 26, is being held at the Arizona State Prison Complex in Perryville, Ariz., after pleading guilty in 2007 to attempted first-degree murder and attempted kidnapping. A judge sentenced her to 13 years in prison.

At least one neighbor in Clearwater confirmed the presence of Joe and Jerry there over the past few months, although a background check showed Jerry had lived in central Ohio for much of his life -- in Springfield much of the past two decades.

May 20, 2010 - A suspect later identified by Arkansas police as Joseph T. Kane lies dead as West Memphis, Arkansas Police investigate the scene of a shootout in the parking lot of the West Memphis WalMart Thursday after Crittenden County Sheriff Deputies cornered suspects from a previous Police shooting on I-40. West Memphis Police Officers Brandon Paudert and Bill Evans were shot and killed after a shootout on Interstate 40 in West Memphis today. The suspect van was later cornered in a Walmart parking lot in West Memphis where a shootout occurred. Crittenden County sheriff Dick Busby was shot, as was his chief of patrol, W.A. Wren. As of 2 p.m., both were being rushed into surgery after being airlifted to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis. The bodies of the younger Kane and his father, Jerry R. Kane Jr., 45, of Forest, Ohio, were pulled from a van at the Walmart.

Authorities found a woman dead and another in serious condition Wednesday afternoon inside a vacant storefront at a strip mall on South Anthony Boulevard, Fort Wayne police said.
Investigators did not find any obvious signs of trauma to the women, police spokeswoman officer Raquel Foster said, adding that police do not suspect foul play.
Why the women were in the space at 4331 S. Anthony Blvd. and what harmed them was not clear. Firefighters checked for dangerous fumes and did not detect any, Foster said.
Police officers initially came to the scene about 1:10 p.m. after an anonymous caller told dispatchers there was a �dead body and possibly another in the lot across from Belmont Beverage� and then hung up, according to a police statement.
Believing the call came from the nearby Belmont Beverage at 4308 S. Anthony across from the strip mall, known as the Anthony Wayne Village Centre, police searched the area around the liquor store and the strip mall. In the process, officers entered the space in the mall where the women were later discovered, but no one was found inside at the time, police said.
About an hour later, the owner of a business in the strip mall reported a suspicious odor coming from the space and that people inside needed help, police said.
Officers, firefighters and medics were sent to the strip mall, just south of McKinnie Avenue. And in the storefront, with paper taped over its large windows, they found the two women, police said.
Medics pronounced one woman dead, and they took the other to a hospital in serious condition, police said. Their identities were not released. The Allen County Coroner�s Office will determine what caused one woman to die.
The business owner who called authorities told The Journal Gazette that he rents the space where the women were found. In the interest of his business, the owner asked that his name not be used.
He said that when he went into the space Wednesday afternoon, after police had come and gone, he smelled some sort of gas and heard snoring but could not see anyone because the space was dark and does not have power. Using the light from his cellphone, he still could not see anyone, and with the odor becoming too much for him, he called for help, he said.
He said he had hired a man to renovate the space so it could be opened as a convenience store in the spring. He said he did not know the women found in the space and did not know why they were there.
�I never seen them before,� he said.

I guess I run into BAMAPHIN 22 a lot over in the lounge, and then I know you guys so it seemed like more than 2 or 3.
Maybe you guys are just more passionate (louder) than most.
WV is a Bama fan when it suits his trolling purposes
Well, Namor can get pretty loud and obnoxious. So I can see where it might seem like there's 60 or 70 rabid Bama fans runnin' around...
RGIII has had 3 signature Heisman moments:
Matheiu will be runner-up, Luck 3rd, Ball 4th, Richardson 5th
MiamiDolfan85's first FH-BOOK IT!
I really can't see Richardson being 5th. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he won it actually. Playing for National Championship does have an effect on a lot of voters as evidenced by many of the Heisman winners over the years.

Tigging BY a Dummy 101
It all started when I had a big tig job coming up and I noticed I had only 600 psi left on my 336 cu ft (T) argon tank.
The job would need more than 600 psi so, being a cheapie, I thought of ways to use up the argon before swapping it out the next day.
Had some 1/8" alum sheet scraps and decided to tig up a pyramid.
Each side is 3" long.
Cleaned the alum with scotchbrite and acetoned the plates and 3/32" alum tig 5356 wire.90 amps advanced squarewave - 200 hz - 3/32" pointed 2% thoriated tungsten - 15 cu ft/hr argon.
Learning should be fun so here goes..........................
I have numbered the beads and added (comments my instructor would make.)
Please study them for faults - there will be a test and prize.
1 - First weld - ("ok at start but you forgot to back off on current as the alum got hot - you dummy - bead got wider and then look !!!!!!!!!")
2 - Second weld - ("I thought you learned from 1 but same thing happened - no burn thru but still too hot - wake up - dummy x 2 !!")
3 - Third weld - ("You took a break and let piece cool down enough to handle - ok looks a little better but don't get too smug.")
4 - Fourth weld ("Bead is better but now a little too cool hence the high bead. "You are really a dummy !")
5 - Fifth weld ("You let piece cool and ran another - keep trying and don't quit your day job")
OK - match the numbers to the letters and win a 2 week vacation - free airfare, hotel and meals - booze is on you.
First prize is Bikini Atoll.
Second prize is Tora Bora.
A - If you tig - every bead deserves your best effort.
If not, why the %&*%#@ are you here?.
B - Learn from (don't hide and show) your mistakes.
C - Get in a comfortable position before you tig -
you wouldn't sit on a cactus to watch the Super Bowl so why.......................?
D - Read the other member's posts and study the photos.
E - If you have questions - ask the forum members - the advice they offer is priceless and free.
A final question which started all this mess - "why don't you get a second cylinder"?
Duh - I have done just that.
PS - still have 100 psi argon left - guess I'll fill some balloons and roll them down the hill during tomorrow's soapbox derby race.
Lead balloons rock !

The Penn Museum in Philadelphia Celebrates 100 Years with the Largest Ancient Egyptian Sphinx
in the Western Hemisphere
PHILADELPHIA, PA 2013—It came by boat, arriving in Philadelphia in October 1913—an ancient Egyptian Sphinx from Memphis, Egypt, excavated by renowned archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie and presented to the Penn Museum on the University of Pennsylvania campus. Extraordinary by any measure, the Sphinx was carved from one massive piece of red granite, bearing the names of the great Pharaoh Ramesses II, and his son and successor, the Pharaoh Merenptah, both of whom reigned during Egypt's 19th Dynasty (1292–1190 BCE).

In 1931, an expedition from the Penn Museum introduced a revolutionary new research method in the remote Amazonian jungles of Brazil. Transporting state-of-the-art equipment by sea, air, and river, the team arrived in territory occupied by the Bororo people and recorded an expeditionary film, Matto Grosso, the Great Brazilian Wilderness, incorporating live sound. It was the first time non-Western people were seen and heard on sound-synced film.

Bone Tumor Identified in 120,000-Year-Old Rib of Neandertal
From Famous Cave Excavation Site of Krapina in Central Europe
PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 2013—The first-known definitive case of a benign bone tumor has been discovered in the rib of a young Neandertal who lived about 120,000 years ago in what is now present-day Croatia. The bone fragment, which comes from the famous archaeological cave site of Krapina, contains by far the earliest bone tumor ever identified in the archaeological record. Details of the tumor confirmation, announced by an international research team led by Penn Museum Associate Curator and Paleoanthropologist Janet Monge, is available in a research paper, "Fibrous dysplasia in a 120,000+ year old Neandertal from Krapina, Croatia," in the online scientific journal PLOS ONE.

Time to Shine: Penn Museum Raises More than $49 Million
During University's Making History Campaign

"To sleep -- perchance to dream," wrote Shakespeare in his masterpiece play, Hamlet. It's a nice concept. For some people, however, the elusive road to slumberland is anything but a dream.
For many, the road is paved with obstacles - often a sleep disorder, ranging from insomnia to restless legs syndrome to sleep apnea, during which individuals usually snore, experience fitful sleep, and may stop breathing for short periods, in some instances hundreds of times a night. The consequences of sleep deprivation, specifically the "problem sleepiness" during the day that normally follows, can have extremely serious, even life-threatening consequences.
Considering we spend nearly one-third of our lives tucked in bed, you would think we would know how to get a good night's rest. Not so for many. If you have sleep difficulties, you're not yawning alone - chances are some of your family members, coworkers, and neighbors also have a "sleep debt," the cumulative effect of not getting the quantity or quality of sleep that one needs. As many as 70 million Americans are afflicted with sleep-related problems.
While some sleep disturbances may be linked to biological changes associated with aging or certain physical diseases, especially those that cause pain, others may be associated with a mental health disorder such as depression or anxiety. Poor sleep may also stem from "bad" habits such as napping too long or too late in the day, or doing shift work. On the other hand, you may simply not be giving yourself the opportunity to acquire ample shuteye.
The drivers at highest risk are third shift workers, people that drive a substantial number of miles each day, those with unrecognized sleep disorders, and those prescribed medication with sedatives.
Why isn't America getting a better night's rest? We live in a society that runs 24 hours a day. There are multiple responsibilities at work and home. When pushed for time, one thing people give up is sleep. When you sacrifice hours this way, however, you may end up paying for it in terms of decreased productivity and an increased risk for errors in judgment and accidents.
Insomnia - the inability to fall asleep and remain there - affects many millions of people. Sleep apnea affects another 10 to 15 million. Narcolepsy [falling asleep uncontrollably during the day], affects around 200,00. About 5 percent of the population have number have restless legs syndrome [RLS].
While people of any age may be affected, there seems to be a large prevalence of sleep disturbances among elderly men and women. Sleep studies reveal that they get less REM (deep) sleep over time. With aging, sleep becomes more fragile, that is, it doesn't take much disturbance to awaken the individual. Women may first notice this during menopause.
Lack of sleep and its link to accidents - automobile and on-the-job - now appears to be a problem of far greater magnitude than previously believed. Fatigue leads to diminished mental alertness and concentration. Often it's the resultant "near miss" (in a motor vehicle or otherwise) that sometimes makes people recognize they have a problem and need to seek professional help.
Death rates based on miles driven at night are twice as high as those during the day in the US. Shift workers are especially prone to this problem. Their biological clock is ticking at the wrong time, and they typically drive home after work when they're extremely tired.
In some countries, a siesta or short daytime rest is a respected, time-honored daily ritual. With older people in particular, napping can help make up some of the sleep lost at night. Napping can increase productivity and help restore your ability to think.
What about waking up too early, like before the birds' first chirp? While such "early morning awakenings" may be a sign of depression or other treatable emotional disorders, the passage of time may be the culprit. Although people who are older need as much sleep as ever they don't seem to be able to get it. In some cases, going to bed a bit later may help reset your biological clock and allow you to sleep later.
How many hours per night should you sleep? Most sleep experts believe you should get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night. This figure varies considerably across the age span and from person to person. Still, if you're getting less than 6 hours of sleep per night regularly, chances are you're building up your "sleep debt," and may be compromising your health and welfare, sleep authorities contend.
If you're having chronic sleep difficulties, should you merely lie there and take it? No. Try practicing sensible sleep habits. If you've done all you can, however, and still aren't getting good, quality sleep, talk with your family doctor. If you need additional help, ask for a referral to a sleep specialist. This may be needed, in particular, for more complex conditions such as narcolepsy. While this disease is not curable, it is treatable, though the regimen with carefully prescribed medications is complicated, and best handled by a sleep specialist. On the other hand, sleep apnea treatment can be very helpful.

How can communication technologies be used to prevent disease outbreak?
I want to know in what ways can communication devices be of a help to prevent an outbreak of diseases.
Maher Shirah
Aug 19 2013: Outbreak information before disease outbreak it.
- +1
adesh saxena
Aug 14 2013: To prevent their outbreak
- +1
Communicable diseases are to be made non communicable
by using faster communication.
Aug 15 2013: I disagree. As eloquently as you've made your point, Adesh, communicable diseases remain quite communicable in ever inter-communicating society.Aug 14 2013: Both of the talks daniel mentioned below are excellent.
Here's another one that is just amazing. Warning, he covers so much information that you'll need to watch it several times.
edward long
Aug 13 2013: Displace ignorance with information.Aug 20 2013: We can predict that one of these coming years, a new form of virus or bacteria will evolve; however, it is not possible to predict which precise moment a disease will outbreak. It is spontaneous, after all, and we can only know that there is a new type of disease, once it is seen in an animal or a person.
- +1
In a positive note, communication technologies are useful to avoid a great epidemic, since using the media people get to know that there was a new disease found in a place, and social networks spread the news to those who missed it on the media. This way, people can be alerted and if they travel to or from that place, they can take the appropriate measurements to not spread it in other countries. In the earlier centuries, because there were no communication technologies, people did not know about what happened in other places, and traveled without concerns, till people started dying suddenly in multiple countries.
On another note, people in the medical science fields can communicate, and using trial and error or other methods may produce a cure easier and faster than without knowing what other people are doing. One person may be creative, but if others also try the same thing over and over, it will just slow the process down. Also, if multiple creative people come together and exchange information, it is more likely that they will arrive to a conclusion faster.
Personally, I think that disease outbreaks are less out of hand now with communication technology than before.Aug 17 2013: The absolute best solution to disease is good health. Disease is a blessing. It is a wakeup call that we are doing something wrong. It's like any engine that starts to sputter, if you don't take the hint and treat it better it will get worst and die. Communicate that!
Aug 19 2013: Hang on a moment, just because some person treats animals poorly in some far off country... I get the disease because of their bad behaviors. Rather stop ships and planes first.
bart hsi
Aug 16 2013: There are, in general, two kinds of communicative diseases.
- 0
1, Infectious diseases only through personal contact. example AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STD). There are also hepatitis B and C. The consequences of these are quite serious. Usually, the attending physicians or nurses would be responsible for informing the U. S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) as well as the patients' contacts list obtained from the patient. However, the CDC ordinarily wouldn't inform foreign health authorities unless the foreign authority inquires about a person by name. Sometimes, some mysterious or rare diseases was reported or microbiologically or pathologically examined by CDC. I am sure the CDC will be able to relay the information to foreign authorities, if asked.
2. Some very contagious (thro the air) disease such as influenza such as the bird flu, swine flu or the respiratory type of flu. they need quarantine. I am sure that the information, including microscopic findings, should be be available as well. Then there are Tuberculosis.(TB), ESPECIALLY THE DRUG RESISTANT TYPE. I hope that all the health authorities in all the counties in the world will have open communications, so that we can prevent it to spread beyond the national borders.
The modern telecommunication of disease information is well developed that.physicians could diagnose most disease conditions through the internet. It is also much developed that we can have medical conferences about pathological finding almost as good as in the face-to-face in a conference room. This is, in my opinion, the most important avenue for international communication for disease prevention and control.Aug 15 2013: it depends the way we use my believe communaction it most important things that can help us to prevent world disease today we attained to know anything goes on our enivorment by use electronic dervice and we can prevent disease as much as we spread our communication technolgies in the worldAug 15 2013: Containing outbreaks is all about quarantine. And not the fun, willful kind either, its about bringing in bio-hazard units with authorization for live fire on civilians whose worst crime was trying to get out of the quarantine zone where life has gone to hell.
Communication technology very much helps coordinate that sort of effort, as unpleasant as it may be.
If the infection is already out of control though, and the affected area is too big to quarantine, then all you can really hope for is avoiding personal contact as much as possible using long distance communication in the hopes you don't get infected.
That's honestly the best we can hope for in most modern democratic countries--the sort of instant and ruthless response required to stop a full fledged outbreak is beyond most democratic regimes, and even beyond most non democratic ones where this sort of decision is made more lightly.Aug 15 2013: Get a Twitter account. #I'mInfectedAug 15 2013: Using the networking model as given by http://www.ted.com/talks/nicholas_christakis_how_social_networks_predict_epidemics.html
Lets say I'm a patient that shows up at the hospital with impetigo. They would need to use my contacts and gps information to send messages to those in my contact list within an area with a list of symptoms and instructions on what to do if they have them (contact the hospital before getting there, using the separate entrance for quarantine)
With the vast number of medical equipment getting digitized, smaller, portable, I hope that medical treatment gets decentralized.
With continued urbanization, people are getting more concentrated in cities, so a more cohesive medical network could eliminate the need to go to the hospital for treatment. better mobile teams replace EMT units with doctor/nurse/whatever-is-needed units can show up to the location of the patient with a complete hospital equipment set tucked under the stretcher.The patient can be isolated if need be immediately without having to come to the hospital and in contact with more sick people whose immune systems are already weak to spread infection. Hospitals can get smaller, just big enough to have an ICU and operating theaters.
Aug 15 2013: I made the same TED talk recommendation one day ago. Would it be inappropriate to say 'great minds think alike'?
Aug 15 2013: hehehe
I got it from you, just too lazy to type out the guys name. and I recommended your links in my last post.
So I'd say 'great minds complement each other' :P
Daniel Early
Aug 15 2013: Ha. It's not like I haven't done the same thing. At first I thought you said 'compliment' but then I saw it was 'complement' and I'm not ashamed to say I had to look up the word to determine the difference (obvious as it is in hindsight) and I'd be honored to think our comments complemented each other.Aug 15 2013: I'd also never heard of impetigo and I hope I never do again.Aug 14 2013: I think it would be cool to have some kind of paging device maybe, or a satellite transmitter of some kind, in which it'd be cheap, durable, and easily made. Epidemiologists/government unities could give one device to each village with high disease risk. When an outbreak is suspected, the keeper of the device could activate a signal that alters the investigators. In this way, the outbreak could be contained quickly without it gaining momentum to spread.
- +1
Just a hair brain idea.
Aug 15 2013: No one is going to use beepers (paging device maybe) for a epidemic.
I don't want to sound TOO critical, but what would stop infected people (assuming they got the message regarding the outbreak) from not trying to continue on their way (to home, to work, to their family, to freedom, to medical treatment) and thus from spreading the epidemic.
Where are we getting the notion that our technology, quick as it is, is any match in terms of speed with the spread of an epidemic disease? (That's a general question for anyone to shoot down, not just you, Fisher.)Aug 15 2013: Hi Mandy,
you're on the right track there. We don't need specialized separate equipment for the village doctor. they all have mobiles with texting capabilities.
Daniel, mobile technology does go fast if you consider that epidemic disease requires human carriers to physically introduce it to a geographical area. even airborne pathogens have a radius that's pretty close to it's source.
They should make text messages that mutate with every forward.
Generation 1: I have been infected by___ which is communicable. please check yourself for the following symptoms. i you have these symptoms, please ______. Please forward this message to all your contacts.
Generation 2: I have been in contact with ___ which is communicable please check yourself...
Generation 3: You may have come into contact with ____
and then it dies after 5, 10 or whatever generations.Aug 14 2013: Internet, mobile phones and television to communicate information about a virus and precautions that need to be taken.Aug 14 2013: By encouraging students to do their own homework assignments.Aug 14 2013: Communications technology can be used to prevent disease outbreak by providing real time updates to a specific audience. Other mediums such as news and radio programs address a much broader audience. This can allow the disease to grow to a size that the broadcasted news aids everyone listening.
If you know how vulnerable you are, you will take the necessary precautions. There can be inertia to change, that can at time, cause there to be done too little to late.Aug 14 2013: I think the using a mobiphone is a great idea. No one is without phone so!
Aug 15 2013: Umm... I have a communicable disease, but, I like, uh, have no phone... what do I do?Aug 14 2013: Or better yet: http://www.ted.com/talks/nicholas_christakis_how_social_networks_predict_epidemics.html
"After mapping humans' intricate social networks, Nicholas Christakis and colleague James Fowler began investigating how this information could better our lives. Now, he reveals his hot-off-the-press findings: These networks can be used to detect epidemics earlier than ever, from the spread of innovative ideas to risky behaviors to viruses (like H1N1)."
Link at least those two conversations to this question topic of yours and more people might suggest more answers since they will see a link to this conversation when they watch either of those videos.Aug 14 2013: You ought to see this talk. It's about using the same information communication and analyzation systems in Formula 1 racing cars and applying it to at-risk babies in pediatric care. From there it should be easy to see how communication technologies could help prevent disease outbreak, because the communication would be clearer and quicker, the warning signs would appear sooner and be signaled properly.
"So what we did is we took a data system which we run every two weeks of the year in Formula 1 and we installed it on the hospital computers at Birmingham Children's Hospital. We streamed data from the bedside instruments in their pediatric intensive care so that we could both look at the data in real time and, more importantly, to store the data so that we could start to learn from it. And then, we applied an application on top which would allow us to tease out the patterns in the data in real time so we could see what was happening, so we could determine when things started to change."Aug 14 2013: let people know the facts information as clearly as they want.
