The Big East is hoping to resolve its divorce with the seven departing Catholic-based basketball schools within the next few weeks -- in time for a summer 2014 departure -- according to a source who had detailed knowledge of Friday's conference call with the Big East.
The source said there seems to be a consensus the seven will leave and form their own league for fall 2014, exactly what the seven want as well, according to a number of sources from the departing seven.
The source said the conference call didn't focus on expansion but rather on the exit of the seven, as well as a new television contract. The Big East has a football contract for fall 2013 but nothing for men's basketball in 2013-14.
NBC Sports Network has verbally offered the Big East between $20 million to $23 million a year for six years to acquire the league's media rights, sources told ESPN's Brett McMurphy on Saturday. It is expected to submit an official offer next week. Once the Big East receives it, the league must give ESPN, the Big East'
s current rights-holder, the opportunity to match the deal.
Meanwhile, the Catholic 7 schools are closing on a deal with Fox Sports, sources said.
The remaining Big East schools expect a legal battle with the departing schools for the Big East name, which carries with it branding rights and national recognition, the source with knowledge of Friday's conference call said.
The departing seven -- Georgetown, Providence, Seton Hall, St. John's, Marquette, DePaul and Villanova -- still must form a league. They also need to decide on a commissioner, bylaws, location, championships, compliance rules and how many schools they will add. The departing seven are expected to initially target Butler and Xavier out of the Atlantic 10, and possibly grow to 10 or 12 teams with candidates among Creighton, Dayton, Saint Louis, Richmond and VCU.
The remaining Big East schools in 2014-15 would consist of UConn, Cincinnati, South Florida, Memphis, Temple, SMU, Houston, Central Florida, Tulane and East Carolina for football, and then Navy in fall 2015.
Pitt and Syracuse are leaving the Big East for the ACC next season, and Louisville and Notre Dame are expected to join in fall 2014, while Rutgers is headed to the Big Ten at the same time.
If the Big East expands again, the two schools mentioned most by sources are UMass and Tulsa out of the A-10 and Conference USA, respectively.
Information from ESPN's Brett McMurphy was used in this report.


text: For most of us, watching a fly mindlessly bouncing against a window in an effort to escape, is pretty annoying – perhaps even infuriating. For a team of Swiss scientists, this stubborn maneuver could change the face of search-and-rescue missions forever. Introducing GimBall – a spherical flying robot encased in a flexible cage, which allows it to happily smash into surfaces while navigating disaster sites. Bounce back Unlike other rescue robots, where colliding with obstacles could easily spell the end of an expedition, GimBall is able to bounce back without losing its bearings or damaging its in-built camera. The futuristic floating ball is the brainchild of scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), and it's hoped that one day it will be used for everything from searching for survivors to measuring gas leaks in collapsed buildings. Watch: Flying robots perform amazing acrobatics "We were wondering why insects were so capable of going inside any building – yet had limited senses such as eyesight," explained co-creator Adrien Briod. "One capability that was completely overlooked was their ability to collide into surfaces. For insects this isn't a big deal – but it is for robots." Flying to the rescue Indeed, one of the first major search-and-rescue missions to use robots was in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks on New York's Twin Towers – an area deemed too dangerous or inaccessible to humans. However, the ground-dwelling machines sometimes found it difficult to negotiate the collapsed World Trade Center, becoming stuck in the rubble. In the last decade, robotics has come a long way, with scientists increasingly looking at the benefits of flying machines in disaster zones. Watch: Flying robots inspired by birds "A ground robot will very quickly be limited – even a staircase is difficult. If you need to reach people on the fifth floor of a building, it won't be able to do it," said Briod. "Flying allows you to overcome large obstacles. And it provides an elevated point of view – it's very useful to have an image of the scene from eye level, than from the floor." Clever design So how does Gimball work? With a 37 centimeter diameter, the robot is a little larger than a basketball. Featuring a stable inner frame, and a rotating outer frame made of 90 flexible carbon rods, it is able to bounce off surfaces without damaging the machine. While other robots might need heavy sensors to help avoid collisions, GimBall keeps things light, weighing just 370 grams. Two propellers help it fly along at 5 kilometers per hour, with enough battery power to last five minutes. It can either be remote controlled, or fly autonomously, sending back footage to operators. Briod now hopes the pioneering design will be used in real lifesaving missions within the next year, and said we were on the brink of a new era in technology where drones were used in everyday life. Read: Flying robots learn mind-boggling tricks "Up until now, the military had all the drones out there, but in the last few years there's been a huge development in civilian use," he said. "Technology is developing really fast in the field of remote control – drones are used in rescue missions, fire, or inspecting unstable buildings, bridges, and boats." Sci-Fi future The research team recently took GimBall for a spin in a Swiss woodland, watching it smash into trees, roll along uneven ground, and negotiate branches – all without damaging its inner workings. It appeared like a rogue alien aircraft that had been left behind on a mission to Earth. So what is it about flying robots that continues to capture our imaginations in a way few other pieces of tech can? Read: Invasion of the flying robots "It's not limited to 2D – that's what fascinates people, this freedom to move in the third dimension," said Briod. "And seeing your creation flying is extremely satisfying."

15 banner ad design tips to get more clicks
If you're hoping to boost your online traffic with better ads, you may be asking yourself: what is web banner design? Web banner design focuses on the systematic creation of effective web banner ads through the careful application of basic design guidelines.
Banner ads are one of the most prolific forms of marketing used in today's online world. All companies use them in one form or another because they're an affordable, measurable and effective medium to increase brand awareness. So how can you design and create web banner ads that will bring in those clicks? Below is a list of tips and general guidelines for designing banner ads.
1. Use the most effective, standard banner sizes
According to Google Adsense, the most successful standard banner sizes are:
- 728×90px — Leaderboard
- 300×600px — Half Page
- 300×250px — Medium Rectangle
- 336×280px — Large Rectangle
2. Place your banner ads correctly
Purchase space on a website where your design will be featured above the fold and close to the main content of a page.
3. Maintain hierarchy
Banner ad design relies upon the right balance within each ad, so watch your hierarchy. Effective banner ads are designed to increase brand awareness and drive traffic to your website. They have three basic components:
Your company logo
Your company logo must be included to build brand awareness. Make sure it's visually dominant, but not as dominant as the value proposition or the call to action.
The value proposition
The value proposition showcases the service/product you provides and calls attention to itself with attractive offers and prices. Think things like: "High quality" or "50% off" or "Limited time offer." This should take up the most space in your ad and be the first thing that viewers' eyes see.
The call to action
The call to action (or CTA) is the text or button that invites users to click. Phrases like "Learn more" or '"Get started" or "Watch Now" are great examples. This should be a clear focal point of the ad.
4. Keep it simple
Keep content and visuals simple. Viewers are probably only going to glance at your web banner ad for a second.
5. Use buttons appropriately
Depending on the type of banner, buttons will often increase the click-through rate (CTR) of your ad. If you're going to use them, place them after your copy on the lower right side in (tastefully) contrasting colors. Always keep them consistent throughout the set of ads.
6. Have a clearly defined frame
People's eyes are naturally drawn to a subject inside a frame. Effective banner ads have a clearly defined frame with graphics extended to the edges of the box. If your ad is white, it's a common practice to put a 1 pixel gray border around the ad.
7. Make your text instantly readable
Make your headline and body copy different sizes. All copy should be four lines or less.
Use cursive/script fonts, extremely thin font weight, all uppercase copy, or font sizes smaller than a 10 pt (unless it's a disclaimer or copyright notice).
8. Use animation
Animated web banner ads usually out-perform static banner ads, and can be very effective in website banner design, but you have to make sure that they don't distract from the message of your ad.
Use simple animations that last no more than 15 seconds, and make sure that they don't loop more than 3 times. Consider making the last frame of your animation a clear call to action.
9. Complement, but stand out
If your ad visually blends into the sites where it's featured, you're more likely to earn your viewers trust. However, don't make it blend in too much. Banner ads always needs to be visible and clickable.
10. Be consistent with your brand
Your banner ad will link to a landing page that includes your offer. Make sure the ad matches your branding and the landing page so potential customers don't get confused.
11. Instill a sense of urgency
Bring a sense of visual urgency to the text by using contrasting, bold colors. Banner ads are not always meant to be subtle.
12. Use imagery well (and only when you need it)
Choose relevant graphics and photos that enhance your message and are directly related to your product. No abstract concepts here.
Can't afford professional photography or supermodels? Buy an affordable license for a stock photo. There are millions of high quality ones out there. Better still, opt for original illustrations or graphics created by a designer.
Remember, it's not always necessary to use images in your banner ads. Killer copy and nice typography can create equally effective results.
13. Choose appropriate colors
Every color has a different association, and it's important to consider what types of emotions you want to evoke in your audience. Color will be the first thing a user notices in your banner ad.
Colors are also subjective and have different associations in different cultures. Make sure to study your target audience when making your color selections. Below is a list of colors and the emotions they typically evoke in a Western audience.
- Red: Passion, anger, excitement, and love. This powerful color is attractive to most audiences, but use it in moderation. If you're aiming for a classic, mature, or serious look, avoid red.
- Orange: Playfulness and invigorating feelings. Not as overpowering as red, orange still stands apart from the crowd and exudes energy; it's a great color for a call to action button.
- Yellow: Cheer, sunshine, and friendliness. Yellow is eye-catching and sends out an energy that is youthful and affordable.
- Green: Health, freshness, wealth, the environment, growth, nurturing, and new beginnings. It's easy on the eyes, too.
- Blue: Safety, trust, clarity, maturity, serenity, intellect, formality, refreshment, coldness, and masculinity. Blue appears in more than half of all logos.
- Purple: Luxury, royalty, extravagance, wisdom, magic, femininity, and creativity. It has a soothing, calming effect on a viewer.
- Pink: Love, sweetness, femininity, youth, and babies. Pink is typically associated with all things feminine, but has a real range based on brightness and tone.
- Black: Exclusivity, mystery, modernity, power, prestige, luxury, and formality. It's traditional, and black text on a white background is the most readable color combination.
- White: Purity, cleanliness, modernity, sterility, simplicity, honesty, and innocence. White creates feelings of economic sense and youth.
- Brown: Nature, wood, leather, seriousness, masculinity, toughness, and humility. Brown balances out stronger colors and is good for background colors and textures.
- Gray: Neutrality and practicality. When used as a background, gray intensifies other colors.
14. Keep your file sizes small
When it comes to file size, the smaller the better—under 150 kb, according to Google Adwords. Your ad needs to load fast on a page before viewers scroll down and miss it.
15. Use the correct file formats
JPG, PNG, GIF or HTML5 files will be your working deliverables. Your designer will typically work in Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop to deliver JPG, PNG, or GIF files, or in Google Web Designer or Adobe Animate for HTML5 files. Remember, Flash ads are pretty much out of date at this point, so opt for these other image file formats.
You're ready to build better banners!
There you have it! These are just some banner ad design guidelines, but it takes a lot more to create truly awesome, high-performing ads. If you're not a professional designer (or too busy running a business), consider hiring a talented creative to design the perfect, clickable ads just for you.

Watch Apollo 11 rocket projected onto Washington Monument for 50th anniversary
WASHINGTON – The Washington Monument just got even more iconic.
On Tuesday, the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch, the 555-foot national symbol lit up with an image of the moon-bound shuttle blasting into space.
The 363-foot projection of the Saturn V rocket will appear for two hours every night during the anniversary of the mission that put the first two humans -- both Americans -- on the moon.
On Friday and Saturday, the celebration of this historical milestone will culminate in a 17-minute light show taking viewers back to July 16, 1969 when Apollo 11 made its giant leap for mankind from Florida's Kennedy Space Center.
And yes, that is a 40-foot-wide re-creation of the famous Kennedy Space Center countdown clock at the monument's base.
The illuminating display was launched (so to speak) by the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and the US Department of the Interior.

Who said Captain America needs a shield to shut down a loudmouth?
On screen Chris Evan has battled everyone from The Red Skull to fellow Avenger Iron Man. But in recent days Evans has been taking on a real life troll in former Imperial Wizard of the KKK David Duke.
The Twitter war was apparently ignited by Evans' opposition to Donald Trump's attorney general nominee, Jeff Sessions.
Duke, a white nationalist who tossed his support to Trump during the campaign, fired back at the actor with a tweet of Evans with several women of color, including Oscar nominee Naomie Harris, questioning why the actor "hate the women of his people so much."
Evans fired one final volley at Duke Monday morning.
"I don't hate them. That's YOUR method. I love," Evans wrote.

Iraqi Forces, Local Citizens Help to Reduce Violence in Northern Iraq
By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19, 2007 – A robust partnership between coalition troops and Iraqi security forces and support from the Iraqi people is showing success in bringing down violence in Iraq's Multinational Division North sector, the troop commander there said today.
Army Maj. Gen. Mark P. Hertling, who also commands the Germany-based 1st Armored Division, told Pentagon reporters via videoconference that attacks in his area of operations are higher than anywhere else in Iraq.
However, Hertling noted "a marked reduction" in violence, particularly in improvised explosive device attacks. Enemy forces planted 1,830 IEDs in June, he said. By October, that number had dropped to about 900. As of today, the November number was 520.
Operation Iron Hammer, an ongoing counterinsurgency operation launched Nov. 5, is building on this success. To date, coalition and Iraqi forces detained 400 terror suspects and uncovered 79 weapons caches containing "an unbelievable amount of weapons and ammunition," Hertling said.
Among the weaponry was the largest cache of explosively formed projectiles yet to be discovered in Iraq. Hertling said there's no question these armor-piercing EFPs originated in Iran, but said he has no indication they arrived since Iran pledged to stop these shipments. "I am hopeful the Iranians are keeping their promise to not interfere with the international security conditions of Iraq by supplying either arms or equipment or trained personnel," he said.
Hertling said he's optimistic about the trends, but recognizes more attacks are likely. "You are still going to read about spectacular attacks," he said, particularly those targeting Iraqi security forces and concerned local citizens who have both become key partners in confronting the terrorist threat in the region.
Hertling noted steady increases in the capability of Iraqi security forces who have become solid partners in the counterinsurgency fight. During Iron Hammer, Hertling said, the Iraqis did more than he asked of them and performed at higher levels than he had expected.
"We've got a partner now," he said. "They are speaking the same language tactically and operationally that we are, and they are going after the same enemy we are."
Insurgents are noticing these improvements, too, and are likely to respond by singling out more Iraqi forces as targets, he said. "The enemy realizes that they're growing in capability, and if there is any kind of chance of stopping the representative movement of the government, that they have to attack the security forces," he said.
Similarly, Hertling said, the enemy recognizes the role local Iraqi citizens are playing in helping the coalition and Iraqi forces confront the terrorist threat in their neighborhoods. Nearly one-fourth of the weapons caches uncovered during Iron Hammer resulted from tips by local citizens.
"Iraqi citizens across the board are tired of seeing people use their country for a traumatic playground, and the Iraqi people have stepped up," Hertling said. "They are tired of the violence. They just want to go back to having their children go to school, farming their fields (and) running their businesses."

DetailsFor alot of people, the start menu will display a list of recently used programs. Its a pretty handy feature to have, but its not for all of us.
Note: This will also remove recently used files from your jumplists.
Now there is a horrible side effect to this option, theres nothing in the start menu when you first show it.
SpasmYou've probably noticed it already, which is why you're here.
I've written a small program that displays all your Start Menu items automatically. Nothing spectacular, it just removes a small annoyance.
The program is called Spasm (Show Programs Automatically in Start Menu). I'll upload the app once its been polished a bit and I find an icon for it.
- Spasm v1.41 (x64) - 64bit version
- Spasm v1.41 (x86) - 32bit version
- Simply run the file for it to take effect.
- Close Spasm to stop it.
- Run with the argument "--no-icon" to disable the tray icon.
WTF Why Bother?Some people may be wondering this and by all means its a good question! I've seen the issue being asked a few times on the forums so I suppose that's where I got the idea from.
The empty menu does annoy me a small bit, but I normally type in what I'm after anyway.
I guess it was also out of nerdy curiosity, a self set challenge to see if I could or not without any help. And I did :)
It probably won't work in any language other than English.
- Checks the recently used list to see if its empty before displaying the full Start Menu items.
- Doesn't do much of anything else.
Historyv1.41 (05/06/2011)
- Added argument "--no-icon" support to hide the tray icon.
- Added a timer to detect refreshed shell.
- Added icon to "already running" message.
- Rewrote how system information is shared between EXE and DLL files.
- Now detects if Spasm is already running.
- Only unload hooks if the DLL is being unloaded from Explorer.
- Hopefully prevented the issue with Spasm losing grip on Explorer's handle.
- Adds icon back to taskbar when Explorer crashes.
- Now works if used on startup!
- Fixed x86 version so it works (Thanks Andrey and Patrick Timms for the heads up)
- Added double click to show about
- Now works with any language.
- Fixed x86 DLL function name mangling.
- Added build version to executable.
- Initial release.

About This Guide #
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is used for a broad range of usage scenarios in enterprise and scientific data centers. SUSE has ensured SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is set up in a way that it accommodates different operation purposes with optimal performance. However, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server must meet very different demands when employed on a number crunching server compared to a file server, for example.
It is not possible to ship a distribution that is optimized for all workloads. Different workloads vary substantially in some aspects. Most important among those are I/O access patterns, memory access patterns, and process scheduling. A behavior that perfectly suits a certain workload might reduce performance of another workload. For example, I/O-intensive tasks, such as handling database requests, usually have completely different requirements than CPU-intensive tasks, such as video encoding. The versatility of Linux makes it possible to configure your system in a way that it brings out the best in each usage scenario.
This manual introduces you to means to monitor and analyze your system. It describes methods to manage system resources and to tune your system. This guide does not offer recipes for special scenarios, because each server has got its own different demands. It rather enables you to thoroughly analyze your servers and make the most out of them.
- Part I, "Basics"
Tuning a system requires a carefully planned proceeding. Learn which steps are necessary to successfully improve your system.
- Part II, "System Monitoring"
Linux offers a large variety of tools to monitor almost every aspect of the system. Learn how to use these utilities and how to read and analyze the system log files.
- Part III, "Kernel Monitoring"
The Linux kernel itself offers means to examine every nut, bolt and screw of the system. This part introduces you to SystemTap, a scripting language for writing kernel modules that can be used to analyze and filter data. Collect debugging information and find bottlenecks by using kernel probes and Perf. Last, monitor applications with Oprofile.
- Part IV, "Resource Management"
Learn how to set up a tailor-made system fitting exactly the server's need. Get to know how to use power management while at the same time keeping the performance of a system at a level that matches the current requirements.
- Part V, "Kernel Tuning"
The Linux kernel can be optimized either by using sysctl, via the
/sysfile systems or by kernel command line parameters. This part covers tuning the I/O performance and optimizing the way how Linux schedules processes. It also describes basic principles of memory management and shows how memory management can be fine-tuned to suit needs of specific applications and usage patterns. Furthermore, it describes how to optimize network performance.
- Part VI, "Handling System Dumps"
This part enables you to analyze and handle application or system crashes. It introduces tracing tools such as strace or ltrace and describes how to handle system crashes using Kexec and Kdump.

Inspired by Japanese lacquer ware, the Lacquer Rouge promises to leaves lips as smooth as lacquer with an applicator that fits closely against the lips for a comfortable, even, bleed-free application. It also improves the condition of lips, leaving them smooth and deeply moisturized. Shiseido Artistic Director Dick Page describes the collection as being "about the simplicity of a lip gloss married to the intensity of a lipstick, with deep pigment and rich colour payoff, long-lasting shine and gloss".
There are 8 shades available in the US and Europe, versus 12 shades in Asia. You can see swatches of the 12 shades on Makeup Blogette and Makeup Stash. These retail for US$25 (about S$32) in the US, S$43 in Singapore and 3675yen (S$58) in Japan. As usual, Japanese consumers get the worst deal.
The sponge applicator pulls out of the tube with a dab of the rouge concentrated on the slanted tip. Being very well pigmented, that is usually sufficient for one application. Compared to YSL Glossy Stain, I prefer the YSL's angled applicator which has a slightly broader surface that covers the lips better in a couple of strokes. Nevertheless, the Shiseido applicator works fine for an even, precise application. The two shades I purchased are RD607 Nocturne and RS404 Disco.
The pics above show Nocturne while the pics below show Disco, a fun bright pink. Both shades applied with opaque coverage and a nice shine. Both lasted well over four hours, but they do transfer to cups and require touch ups after eating. I also noticed Nocturne bleeding into the fine lines after about three hours. After wearing these, my lips did feel a tad dry and in need of balm. The texture feels thicker than the YSL Glossy Stains, which have a shinier finish. The YSL Glossy Stains offer more shade options (20) with varying levels of colour payoff, so if the Shiseido Lacquer Rouge looks too dramatic for you, you may wish to check out the YSL version or Maquillage Essence Glamorous Rouge, which is less tenacious but more user-friendly.
Below is the list of ingredients.

Savings on welfare-related outlays offset the cost of a program that improved children
Home visits by nurses to low-income first-time mothers, starting during pregnancy and extending into the second year of their children's lives, have a positive and long-lasting impact on families. The latest findings, by Dr. David Olds and colleagues at the University of Colorado- Denver, indicate that the Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) program improves outcomes for mothers and children 10 years after its administration and saves the government money. The benefits of the program—now documented among three groups of low-income mothers and children—have led to the expansion of government funding and technical support for states to deliver the intervention.
Help at the Start
During 1990 and 1991, Dr. Olds and colleagues recruited 743 low-income pregnant women in Memphis, Tennessee, and randomly assigned them to the NFP or a control group. All the women were about to become mothers for the first time, all but a few were African-American, about two-thirds were teens, and most were unmarried.
The women in both groups received free transportation for scheduled prenatal care, as well as developmental screenings and referrals for their children at ages 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months. Women assigned to the NFP program also received home visits from a nurse—on average, seven visits prior to giving birth and 26 visits during the child's first 2 years.
The visiting nurses used program guidelines designed to improve the women's health practices relevant to birth outcomes, bolster parents' caregiving attitudes and expand their skills, and encourage parents to enhance their own life-course development. In addition to giving practical advice on pregnancy and child care, the nurses guided the mothers toward healthy decisions—for example, completing their own educations, getting into the work force, and making good choices about their next pregnancy.
Ten Years Later
The researchers contacted and interviewed 594 of the mothers and 578 of their children when the children were 12 years old. At this assessment, the NFP mothers reported greater sense of mastery over the challenges of living and rearing their children. None of the NFP mothers reported that alcohol or other drug use impaired her functioning at work or home, compared with 2.5 percent among those in the control group. The nurse-visited mothers also reported longer relationships with current partners—averaging 60 months versus 53 months for women in the control group.
At 12 years of age, fewer NFP children than control children reported having used cigarettes, alcohol, or marijuana during the past 30 days (1.7 percent versus 5.1 percent). Although these percentages are small, the potential impact of the three-fold difference is great because children who begin using substances at such an early age have a high risk of becoming dependent on them. The NFP children also reported less clinical or near-clinical anxiety and depression than the controls (22 percent versus 31 percent). Among those children whose mothers had low "psychological resources" (such as problems with depression or anxiety or low confidence that they could manage challenges), the NFP children's reading and math scores were higher than those of the control group throughout the first through the sixth grades.
Program Costs Offset
The cost of NFP nurse training, visits, and program administration averaged $11,511 per family (all monetary figures are in 2006 dollars and discounted at 3 percent per year). Over the years of services and followup, the government spent $12,300 less per NFP family compared with that spent per control family on food stamps, Medicaid, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. The net saving of roughly $800 per NFP family does not take into account potential reduced medical, social service, and other costs related to the children's improved outcomes. If the NFP pattern of benefits continues, the bulk of such savings will accrue during the children's late adolescence, when their risks for drug abuse, neuropsychiatric illness, and criminal justice involvement are greatest.
Dr. Olds and colleagues hypothesize that the NFP women reduced their need for government aid by spacing their subsequent pregnancies more widely and through the increased stability of their partner relationships. The researchers note, however, that one anticipated source of reduced welfare-related costs did not materialize: Counter to expectations, over the entire followup period, the NFP mothers did not have higher employment rates than the controls.
Activating Parental Instincts
Dr. Olds says the NFP program helps children primarily through its effects on mothers' decisionmaking and confidence. The decisions mothers make early on, and their resourcefulness in implementing them, have a long-term influence on the family environment, improving children's ability to control their behavior and boosting academic achievement. "The nurses in the program listen to parents, support them, and help channel parents' instinctual drives to protect and support their children," says Dr. Olds.
|Outcome for Children
|Nurse-Family Partnership Group
|Control Group
|Percent used cigarettes, alcohol, or marijuana during past 30 days
|Number of substances used during past 30 days
|Number of days of substance use during past 30 days
|Self-reported anxiety and depression
|Reading and math scores on standardized tests*
|Reading and math grade point average (grades 1–6)*
|Percentile on reading and math group achievement tests (grades 1–6)*
|* Among children whose mothers were below the median for psychological resources, experiencing depression and anxiety, and with low intellectual functioning and little confidence that they could handle challenges.
Dr. Olds and colleagues plan to assess the Memphis children at age 18 to determine whether NFP participation influences substance abuse, criminal justice involvement, HIV risk behaviors, educational achievement, and other outcomes at that age. To date, the researchers have examined only first-born children, but in future work, they plan to test whether younger siblings also benefit. If other children in the family gain advantages from the NFP, then the savings to the government will be greater.
– Dr. David Olds
The Memphis findings accord well with those of other NFP studies. Dr. Olds and colleagues found lower rates of criminal justice involvement, teen motherhood, and Medicaid use among the daughters of participants in the initial NFP intervention at age 19—mostly white, unmarried, and low-income pregnant women recruited in Elmira, New York, from 1978 to 1980—compared with a control group. Families from the most recent NFP cohort of women recruited in Denver, Colorado, during 1994 and 1995, about half of whom are Latina, have also benefited from the program. At age 4, NFP children born to mothers with low psychological resources showed better language skills and executive function, such as planning and behavioral control, than their counterparts in the comparison group.
Overall, findings from the NFP trials show that early interventions with low-income families can yield long-term benefits and economic advantages. Dr. Olds notes, in particular, that the NFP was effective for families who lived in Memphis neighborhoods with high levels of poverty, unemployment, single-parent homes, and racial segregation. Moreover, during the study, these communities also experienced policy and economic shifts that influenced families' opportunities and well-being—including welfare reform and periods of economic boom and bust.
Dr. Leslie Leve of the Oregon Social Learning Center, a prevention researcher not affiliated with the study, says, "The enduring benefits of NFP to families are impressive, and the cost savings produced by the program further showcase the high value that can come from preventive services delivered at the point when a young family is first identified as possibly being at risk but isn't yet showing signs of failure, rather than waiting to provide support until a child has dropped out of school or has started using drugs."
Dr. Belinda Sims of NIDA's Division of Epidemiology, Services and Prevention Research agrees that the cost information so far available on the program is promising, and she adds that followup of children into adolescence is a critical component of the research. "The NFP addresses family-level risk factors, such as low resources and high stress, and assists families by getting mothers to prenatal care visits during pregnancy and getting children to well-baby visits in the first 2 years of life, and by linking families to resources in the community," she says. "In this way, the intervention seems to help families put children on a positive developmental path so that they have less risk for drug abuse later."

Diabetes a risk factor for postpartum depression
August 30, 2015
Some of the causes might include personal history of depression, stressful life events, and lack of social, financial or emotional support. Left untreated, it can have lasting negative effects not only on the mother but on her child's development.
In the first study of its kind, investigators at Harvard Medical School and the University of Minnesota School of Public Health report that low-income women with diabetes have a more than 50% increased risk of experiencing this serious illness.
"While previous studies have linked diabetes and depression in the general population, this is the first time, to our knowledge, that the relationship has been studied specifically in pregnant women and new mothers," says Katy Backes Kozhimannil, research fellow in the Department of Ambulatory Care and Prevention at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. "We believe these findings may help clinicians better identify and treat depression in new mothers."
These findings are published in the February 25 edition of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association .
For over 25 years, clinicians have been aware that new mothers are at risk for postpartum depression. However, the condition is difficult to identify. Many symptoms are attributed to the every-day struggles of being a new mother. Others, such as irrational thoughts about harming the baby or, conversely, obsessing over the baby's health, are simply difficult for new mothers to admit.
To investigate the potential link between diabetes and postpartum depression, Kozhimannil and Bernard Harlow, professor in the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health, examined medical claims data from the New Jersey Medicaid program, looking at information from 11,024 new mothers who had given birth between July 2004 and September 2006. All women in the study were eligible for Medicaid 6 months prior to and one year after delivery and had incomes less than 115% of the federal poverty line ($24,000 for a family of four in 2006).
The researchers identified a woman as having depression if her records indicated a diagnosis, or if she had filled a prescription for an antidepressant medication during the study period. (Diabetes was also identified using both diagnosis and prescription information.)
Study data indicated that 9.6 percent of women with diabetes, who had no indication of depression during pregnancy, developed depression during the year following delivery, compared with 5.9 percent of women without diabetes. Put another way, pregnant women and new mothers with diabetes were approximately 55 to 60 percent more likely to experience postpartum depression. The increased risk of postpartam depression is similar for women who already had diabetes and those who developed it during pregnancy.
The researchers caution that these findings do not establish that diabetes causes postpartum depression, only that the two are related. Also, the medical claims data they used did not contain information on personal or family history of depression, weight or body mass index. Plus, it isn't yet clear the extent to which one can generalize findings from such a specific and localized population.
Still, according to Kozhimannil, "Health care facilities and clinicians that serve low-income and Medicaid populations may want to pay particular attention to managing the mental health concerns of women with diabetes during pregnancy and the postpartum period."

Project Summary
The Human Security Baseline Assessment (HSBA) for Sudan and South Sudan is a multi-year research project administered by the Small Arms Survey, a global centre of excellence located at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies. It has been developed in cooperation with the Canadian government, UNMIS, UNDP, and NGO partners. Through the active generation and dissemination of timely empirical research, the project supports violence reduction initiatives, including disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programmes, incentive schemes for civilian arms collections and security sector reform and arms control interventions across Sudan. The HSBA also offers policy-relevant guidance on redressing insecurity. The objectives of the project are the following:
- to investigate international, regional, and domestic transfers of arms;
- to assess domestic small arms stockpiles and inventories;
- to map and assess origins, motivations, and distribution of armed groups;
- to measure the scale and distribution of mortality, morbidity, and victimization; and
- to examine local security arrangements and demand for weapons.
The project publishes its findings regularly in three separate formats, Issue Briefs, Working Papers, and Facts & Figures reports, as well as occasional workshop reports, op-eds and practitioner articles. Publications are available in English, Arabic and French (in the case of research on the Central African Republic and Chad). The project has also produced a Synthesis Report, Small Arms and Armed Violence in Sudan and South Sudan: An Assessment of Empirical Research Undertaken since 2005, which provides an overview of the HSBA's research approach and findings in the areas of arms proliferation, armed groups, armed violence, and security provision.

My little baby Jeffolina! Too cute! How could you not name her after me??ReplyDelete
Hi Heather,ReplyDelete
Great news about Little Valentine. I bet she's adorable. : )
Hi Keewee,
Ha ha, I like that--springs for legs. We have a "medical" term for it: bouncing sickness. And boy, do we get a bad case of it every year on the farm. It spreads like crazy and there's nothing you can do. A little lamb looks perfectly fine and then Boing! they bounce straight up in the air--and just keep bouncing. Very serious condition. Very hysterical, serious condition. : )
Thanks so much for telling your friends about FF. I really appreciate it and am so glad you're all enjoying it.
Hi Clare,
Her face is black like her daddy's! I hope it stays that way, but it'll probably lighten up a bit. My favorite lambs are the ones born completely jet black. Gorgeous!
Hi Kevin,
I've seen it now! Looks delish! Thanks for letting me know about it. I'll have to try making that one of these days (not with anybody y'all know, of course : )
Hi Kat,
Some people have a field full of all-white newborn lambs. Yawn. We get all kinds of gorgeous shades of brown and grey and even silver--and of course the infamous chocolate chip spots. Sadly, they will all fade to white real soon. Some will keep their dark faces and legs (that's the Suffolk in them, which is what Leopold The Ram is). Believe it or not, my sweet Teddy boy was born completely black!
Hi Bean,
Welcome to the farm! Well, the lambing cycle is not completely in our hands. Most sheep (there are exceptions with special breeds) are 'in heat' from August through December. The gestation cycle for a sheep is 5 months.
So you can choose to start breeding in the heat of August (nobody's really up for that around here) and have lambs in January (I'm not big on frozen babies), or you can wait and not put your ram in with the girls until later. It's a toss up. When do you want your girls to be eating hay as opposed to grass? When they are pregnant, or when they are nursing? (if you even have any grass that early--we don't) And are you trying to sell your lambs for the Easter market? (That's what makes a lot of people breed early.) We put Leopold in with the girls on Sept. 1st this year, which is a little early for us, but he seems (unfortunately) to like to take his time with his one and only job--spread out the fun, if you will. Once the first lamb was born on Feb 11th this year, all of the sheep were penned up in the barnyard where they are eating hay and some grain and basically lounging around being pregnant. They'll be stuck in there until the end of April (and boy will I hear about it!) which will give the grass a chance to start growing--or until we run out of hay. That was probably too much information! : )
Hi G.O.C.,
Thanks. It's definitely a fun time of the year. Stressful and exhausting, but that cuteness factor really wins out--at least with me. I cuddle, cuddle, cuddle them while I can! : )
Hi I.G.O.,
Well, you obviously need to get your kids some sheep! : )
Hi Baking Soda,
Yes, the ears are something else. It's like they are born with almost full size ears and have to grow into them. Too cute. That's how Amelia, the first "A" lamb to be born, got her name. It was so easy--those ears! (get it?)
Hi Stacey,
Ah! Another lurker has joined us in the crazy comments section. Welcome! Now that was pretty painless, wasn't it? : )
Mmmmm. Sheep milk cheese. Absolutely love it. Definitely don't make it. You see, unlike goats and cows, there isn't much to hold onto when you're milking a sheep (and I speak from experience). Commerical sheep milk farms have specially designed equipment to do the job. It's pretty much impossible to milk a sheep by hand in a timely manner.
And just as there are breeds that make the best meat (like the Suffolks and Hampshires that we raise) and the best wool, there are breeds that are best for milking--just like with cows. Nope, I have to buy my beloved Pecorino Romano just like everybody else. : )
Hi Jeff,
Um, Jeffolina? Jeffolina? No offense, but, well--Jeffolina?! And besides, how could you forget that the girls this year will all get "C" names (except, of course, Clare's "Menu For Hope" lamb--but more about that soon).
Don't you remember that if Liselotte has a little girl it's going to be named (drumroll please) Little Cashew!? You didn't think I was kidding about that, did you? The boys don't get names, but if Liselotte's lamb is a boy, he'll be called Cash. : )
Sorry, even in 2013 when we get to the "J" names, I don't think anybody is going to get, um, stuck with Jeffolina. But you never know. . . : )
This picture is really sweet and Martha's baby is beautiful!ReplyDelete

Fusion drive: what it is and how it speeds up your Mac
The advantage of your Mac's hybrid drive
When Apple updated the iMac and Mac mini in late 2012, it introduced a new storage option called Fusion Drive. Despite the name, it's actually two drives working in a special arrangement.
It pairs 128GB of flash storage with either a 1TB or a 3TB hard drive. Apple bills it as providing the high capacity of a hard drive with the performance of flash storage, in a way that has no impact on how you work and store things.
Pure SSD configurations remain an option on some Macs, but they're still costly for their capacities. Replacing a Mac mini's 1TB hard drive with a 256GB SSD costs £240, and a 768GB SSD on the 27-inch iMac is an eyewatering £720. Hence Apple's attempt to find a compromise between speed and capacity.
Fusion Drives cost £200 and £320 for the 1TB and 3TB versions respectively, though the latter is only available on the 27-inch iMac. In fact, Apple sells Fusion Drive short by listing only the hard drive component's capacity and omitting that of the SSD.
In terms of hardware, all that's added is a 128GB SSD. A substantial amount of what you're paying covers the fitting of the SSD, and the configuration of the two drives to work together.
There's no setup process on your part. The two drives that make up a Fusion Drive don't operate like a striped RAID array to spread the load between them. Nor do they work like hybrid drives, available on PCs for several years, despite their similar makeup. A hybrid drive's flash portion acts as a cache, but that's all it is: a cache. A copy of everything is on the hard drive.
How does Fusion Drive work?
A Fusion Drive's components appear as a single volume in the Finder, with their capacities merged. No adjustment needs to be made to how you work, as decisions about which of the two components is used to store a given piece of information are made for you.
Neither of the drives holds a complete copy of everything. When something needs to be stored, it's always first written to the flash storage. As long as plenty of free flash storage is available, OS X doesn't touch the hard drive, and the Mac will operate solely from its flash storage.
Behind the scenes, OS X silently monitors how your Mac is used. When free flash storage dwindles to only 4GB, OS X's long-term observations are used to decide what you're least likely to need from day to day, and it moves some of it to the hard drive. This keeps plenty of flash storage available so that high performance is maintained.
Relegation to the hard drive isn't a one-way or irreversible. OS X continues to monitor your activity, and if it discerns you're using something enough to warrant moving it back to the faster storage, it will do so. Something else will end up relegated to the slower drive instead.
The operating system stays on the SSD, but pre-installed apps such as iMovie and GarageBand don't enjoy this privilege. Very large files, such as videos or an iPhoto library aren't treated as monolithic. That would be inefficient, so Fusion Drive doesn't have to shift the whole of a file.
A developer, Patrick Stein, has published blog posts examining the working of Apple's technology. He discovered Fusion Drive works at a lower level, instead moving the blocks that make up files, and only some of them. Stein discovered if he read the first megabyte of a large file enough to warrant storing it on the flash storage, only that portion of the file was moved. The rest remained on the hard drive. The effect of splitting data between two drives is that both need to be connected to a Mac (which must be running OS X 10.8.2) in order to read it.

Could cataract surgery slow decline from Alzheimer's?
Along with improving vision, cataract surgery may slow mental decline in people with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, a new study suggests.
Better eyesight also improves their quality of life, the researchers said.
"These preliminary results indicate that improved vision can have a variety of benefits for people with dementia and their loved ones, both visual and non-visual," said Dr. Alan Lerner, of Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals Case Medical Center, in Ohio.
Cataract surgery involves removing the eye's cloudy natural lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens.
The study included 20 dementia patients who had cataract surgery and a control group of eight patients who did not have the procedure.
Six months after the surgery, the patients in the surgery group had significantly improved vision and quality of life, slower decline in memory and thinking, and greater improvements in behavior than those in the control group, the researchers found.
Improved quality of life was also reported by caregivers of the patients who had cataract surgery, according to the study. The report was scheduled for presentation Sunday at the Alzheimer's Association's annual meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark.
"Our findings need to be verified in a larger study, but they suggest the need to aggressively address dementia co-morbidities such as vision-impairing cataracts, while balancing safety and medical risks," Lerner added in an association news release.
"If the results hold up, it will significantly affect how we treat cataracts in individuals with dementia. Other interventions to offset sensory loss -- including vision and hearing -- may help improve quality of life for people with dementia and their caregivers," Lerner said.
An Alzheimer's Association spokeswoman said the study supports the organization's view that people with dementia benefit from full healthcare treatment.
"Too-common attitudes such as, 'There's no need for extra care' or 'Why put them through all of that,' are not justified and are bad medical practice," said Maria Carrillo, the association's vice president of medical and scientific relations.
"Appropriate thoughtfulness and restraint are necessary when considering surgery or other procedures for people with Alzheimer's or another dementia," Carrillo said. "However, we should not assume that medical procedures cannot be pursued or are too risky."
These results show that improving sensory abilities can provide benefits in a variety of ways -- for people with Alzheimer's and also for their caregivers, she added.
Data and conclusions presented at meetings are typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Problem: Posting photos on Facebook allows us to present an idealized version of our lives—our dinners well-plated, our friends always smiley. We can also only post the pictures of ourselves in which we look the most beautiful, and untag the ones we don't like. And this distorts reality.
As a new study published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders notes, "Facebook represents a ubiquitous merging of two social influences linked to risk for developing eating disorders through reinforcement of the thin ideal: media and peers."
Methodology: Researchers from Florida State University had 960 female college students take an eating attitudes test to determine how disordered their eating was. They also asked the students how much time they spent on Facebook each week. From that sample, they recruited 84 women with an average age of 18 for a second study.
Some of the participants were asked to log in to Facebook and spend 20 minutes on the site. The rest were asked to spend that 20 minutes researching ocelots on Wikipedia, and watching a video of an ocelot on YouTube. "The control condition was designed to match the experimental condition on exposure to text versus images while eliminating any images related to the human body," the study reads.
Once they were done with their assigned Internet tasks, the participants completed measurements of their current preoccupation with their weight and shape and how much they wanted to exercise. They also took the eating attitudes test, and answered questions about their typical use of Facebook, and whether the 20 minutes they spent on the social network was normal for them.
Results: Both studies found a correlation between time spent on Facebook and higher disordered eating scores, though in the second the relationship was not statistically significant. (The researchers suggest this may be due to the second experiment's smaller sample size.)
There were certain Facebook behaviors, though, that were significantly associated with disordered eating: "Participants with greater disordered eating endorsed greater importance of receiving comments on their status and photos, and greater importance of receiving "likes" on their status." They also untagged themselves more often and tended to compare their photos to those of their female friends.
Implications: This study found a "significant but small" association between Facebook use generally and disordered eating. It seems that with Facebook, as with any tool, it depends on how you use it. The young women in this study were at greater risk when they spent more time untagging photos and comparing their photos to others', "perhaps in order to remove unflattering photographs and minimize opportunities to become the target of downward social comparison." Similarly, people who posted to Facebook in the hopes of eliciting positive responses were more at risk. Facebook is just one more place where people can be exposed to unrealistic beauty standards.
"Now, women have a constant and active space to engage in social comparison with peers who may simultaneously portray and reinforce the thin ideal," the study reads.
