RENA, Norway — A right-wing zealot who has confessed to killing 93 people in Norway seemed a polite "city man" out of place in a small rural town where he leased a hideaway farm to plot his attacks.
"He said he was a farmer," said Trine Stetten, a 22-year-old hairdresser, who had stood next to Anders Behring Breivik while her partner in a local salon clipped his hair a month or so ago.
"He had a PC bag with him and nice clothes ... we thought it was really weird that he was a farmer," she said.Story: Doubt cast on Norway gunman's claim of more cells
Breivik, the 32-year-old Norwegian who has admitted to shooting dead 86 people and planting a bomb that killed seven others Friday, leased a farm in the municipality of Rena, about 160 kilometres (100 miles) north of Oslo, this spring.
In the small town, he brushed elbows with locals, including at a pub called the Cuckoo's Nest frequented by soldiers from the elite Telemark Battalion whose 2,000-strong base is in Rena.
Breivik said in a May 12 entry in his Internet-posted diary: "It's quite ironic being situated practically on top of the largest military base in the country. It would have saved me a lot of hassle if I could just 'borrow' a cup of sugar and 3kg of C4 (explosive) from my dear neighbor."
People in Rena said he could not help but stand out.
"He asked for a receipt and paid with cards -- nobody here asks for a receipt for a beer, and we just throw them away," said Hanne Skavern, 20, who works at the pub and some days at a petrol station.
Wrong words
Svein Meldieseth, a burly 61-year farmer who made a deal with Breivik this spring to cut and buy the hay that grows at the leased farm in the village of Aasta, said Breivik appeared to be a "city man."
"He told me I could 'clip' it -- we say 'cut' in farming, so that tells a little about what he knew about farming," Meldieseth said.
Rena residents who talked to Reuters said they had only ever seen Breivik alone. He has told police he carried out the attacks alone.Story: Norway rescuer had to make life or death choices
Father: 'Shock'
On Sunday, Breivik's father said he was in shock and only learned of his son's involvement via online newspapers, a Norwegian daily said.
"I was reading the online newspapers and suddenly I saw his name and picture on the net,'' the father told the daily Verdens Gang of his son, Anders Behring Breivik. It said the man was interviewed "somewhere in France."
"It was a shock to learn about it. I have not recovered yet,'' he said. The man is a pensioner who lives in France and said he had had no contact with his son since 1995.
Breivik was arrested after Friday's massacre — mostly teens — on a tiny forested holiday island that was hosting a summer camp for the youth wing of Norway's ruling Labor party. Breivik was also charged in the bombing of Oslo's government district, which killed seven people hours earlier.
'Rather introverted'
People who knew Breivik said he was quiet and intense.
"He was rather introverted at school, even though he was a good student," said Michael Tomola, who knew Breivik from the age of 13 to 16 at the school they went to in an Oslo suburb.
"I'm very surprised by this (attack). I had a good impression, although he became very engaged in subjects he cared for. He got very extreme about things he cared for," Tomola told Reuters.
The Facebook page set up last week included a variety of interests such as hunting and political and stock analysis. His tastes in music included classical and trance, a hypnotic form of dance music.
A Facebook profile for an Oslo man of that name and age was removed early Saturday. It included a profile photo identical to the one being used by Norwegian media. In the profile, he listed himself as "single," "Christian" and "conservative" and says he is director of Breivik Geofarm. It had listed interests including bodybuilding, conservative politics and freemasonry. The account had no posts.
Fringe group bars suspect
A fringe European anti-Islamist lobby group said Saturday Breivik had tried to join their Facebook group 18 months ago but had been rejected over his apparent neo-Nazi links.
Breivik said in an Internet posting in December 2009 he had had discussions with Stop Islamization of Europe, but the organization had no record of this, founder Anders Gravers said.
"He has never been in contact with us and he has never given us any advice," Gravers told Reuters.
But he said it was possible Breivik had attended one of its demonstrations.
He said an SIOE member in the Faroe Islands had checked Breivik's Facebook "friends" on the social media site when he tried to join and discovered one who used a picture of Danish neo-Nazi leader Jonni Hansen as his profile picture.
"He advised us not to allow this guy to join or be able to post on the Facebook wall (message page)," said SIOE co-founder Stephen Gash.Story: Norway attacks shine light on right-wing extremism in Europe
SOIE, which says it has 30,000 followers on Facebook, was founded by Gravers and Gash in 2007 with the aim of "preventing Islam becoming a dominant political force in Europe."
His turn to extremism
The Norwegian daily Verdens Gang quoted a friend as saying he became a right-wing extremist in his late 20s. It said he expressed strong nationalistic views in online debates and had been a strong opponent of multiculturalism.
Norwegian journalist Liss Goril Anda, writing for the BBC, said Breivik had left "racist, extremist right-wing comments along with fellow anti-Muslims" on the websites. She also said there were attempts to set up groups allied to the English Defence League in the U.K.
"These all represent, with varying degrees of extremism, a section of the Norwegian population which feels that the country's immigration policies are too lax," Goril Anda wrote. "They feel disenfranchised despite Norway's attempts at distributing fairly its immense oil wealth. Norway might now be forced to deal head-on with this undercurrent of nationalism and anti-immigration sentiments."Story: Norway attack: Right-wing extremism emerging?
A Twitter account apparently for Breivik used the same profile photo and has but one tweet, dated July 17: "One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100000 who have only interests."
The 19th century philosopher John Stuart Mill, known for his theory of utilitarianism, once said, " One person with a belief is a social power equal to ninety-nine who have only interests."
The authenticity of the online accounts could not immediately be verified, but government business records list a man of the same name and age as sole director of Breivik Geofarm.
In the records, the company says its business is the "growing of vegetables, melons, roots and tubers" and reports that it has 790 employees.
Bought fertilizer
A farm supply firm said Saturday that the suspect had bought 6 tons of fertilizer in May. Some kinds of agricultural fertilizer have been used in the past to make explosives.
The suspect placed the order through his company, the supplier said.
"It was 6 tons of fertilizer, which is a small, normal order for a standard agricultural producer," Oddny Estenstad, a spokeswoman at agricultural supply chain Felleskjoepet Agri, said.
Police were earlier reported to be trying to determine whether the farm could have provided the chemicals needed to build a large bomb like the one that exploded Friday in Oslo.
'Under the radar'
Lasse Nordlie, owner of the Gjoekeredet Pub -- the Norwegian word for Cuckoo's Nest, a reference to a film starring Jack Nicholson as a patient in a psychiatric hospital -- said he did not remember seeing Breivik but said Rena was the perfect place for someone who wanted to avoid attention.
"It's easy to get under the radar here, and there's no view of the farm from the road," said Nordlie, age 34.
On a good Saturday night, Nordlie said, 150-200 soldiers from the Rena Camp drink at his pub, whose wall bears a banner from the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan and dance in the basement disco dubbed the Psych Ward Nightclub.
The bartenders in the nightclub, which is decorated with photographs Nordlie took at the abandoned Lier psychiatric hospital near Drammen, wear white doctor's coats.
"I am going to have to lie low with this psychiatric ward stuff for a while, maybe keep the disco shut for a while," Nordlie said.
Down the Rena main street from the Cuckoo's Nest, Breivik dined at the Milano Rena Restaurante five or six times, the two Turkish owners said.
"He sat with his hands-free (mobile phone earpiece) and wrote in a notebook," said Eyup Ali Aykut, adding he never heard Breivik talking to anyone on the phone.
"He ate shrimp as a starter, beef a la Rena and apple pie for desert. He drank soft drinks - a cola."
"He was exceedingly nice," said Bilal Guclu, co-proprietor of the restaurant, which shares a two-storey white building with the local police department.
Msnbc.com's Alex Johnson and Reuters contributed to this report.

New Orleans UYA teaches baseball, life lessons
NEW ORLEANS -- As the practice pop fly took an awkward bounce in center field, Jarid Montgomery was perplexed.
A senior center fielder for Edna Karr High School in New Orleans, Montgomery is accustomed to practicing on a small, dilapidated field filled with potholes and dead grass -- where bounces are few and far between.
Now fielding the pop fly on artificial turf as a participant in the Urban Youth Academy's Coaches Clinic at Wesley Barrow Stadium, Montgomery turned to a legend.
University of New Orleans coach Ron Maestri -- the first man to lead a Louisiana team to the College World Series -- instructed Montgomery to anticipate the hop before it happens.
Montgomery followed suit, fielding the next ball cleanly before taking his cuts in the batting cage.
Maestri and a group of his Privateer players joined coaches and players from LSU, Grambling and Southern as instructors for the two-hour clinic, which was followed by a college and career fair attended by five universities and two companies.
A baseball player since he was 9 years old, Montgomery joked that his high school team is virtually unheard of, but clinics and events at the Urban Youth Academy refine his fundamentals and helps his chances of landing a coveted spot on a college baseball roster.
"It's nice to bring their wisdom to us," Montgomery said. "You learn from them, and they're a big help in my baseball career."
It's a luxury Karr head baseball coach Donnie Russell only wishes he had as he ascended the baseball ranks in the mid 1990s.
A former Grambling catcher, Russell preached consistency and an easygoing nature to the handful of his players who attended the clinic, as he sensed most were anxious at the prospect of playing in front of Maestri and his counterparts.
"It was kind of tough for us, but we're making sure these kids get seen and get noticed," Russell said. "They were nervous that college coaches were going to be out there, but I told them, 'Do what you do every day. Go out there and have fun.'"
Opened in November 2012, the New Orleans Urban Youth Academy already has 1,150 registered players and averages 60 kids training and working at the field per day, according to New Orleans director Eddie Davis.
Davis, who grew up with Russell and played All-Star baseball with him, laughed that the South is more known for its football prowess, but asserted the fervent interest in baseball was the impetus for the Academy's opening, before adding that clinics and fairs like Saturday's only serve to preach that it's about more than just baseball.
That idea was on display Saturday as a student broadcast team served as the public-address announcers for the clinic, and that same group ran all the technology in the press box. Davis also said he sees kids more interested in umpiring and field maintenance, and -- most importantly -- a college education.
"The quicker we can have these kids find out what they enjoy and what they love, the better off they're going to be," Davis said.
Andrea Palmer, who watched her two sons, Aaron and Andreas, participate in the clinic, marveled at the all-in-one afternoon that promised to impart both baseball and life lessons to her boys.
A native of San Francisco, Palmer said the initial move to New Orleans was a shock after her upbringing in the baseball-crazy Bay Area, but the Urban Youth Academy has provided her family more than she could have envisioned.
"They take young kids and develop them and work with them," Palmer said. "Teaching them the basics, the foundation. This is an opportunity that's unheard of, and something we have to take advantage of."
"I just can't believe they're doing all this here," she added. "I wish more people were here to take advantage of it."
The kids and parents who do utilize the Academy are at an advantage, according to MLB vice president of youth and facility development Darrell Miller, who said the league knew it had to pour more resources into the talent-rich New Orleans region.
Miller was excited at the college presence at both the clinic and fair, heeding to the mantra he's set forth for all Urban Youth Academies.
"When you pick up a baseball, you pick up a book," Miller said. "That's our new mantra. These guys understand that they go hand in hand."
For Palmer, that's all she wanted to hear. With a 27-year-old daughter already graduated from college, Palmer understands how difficult it can be to make that journey.
And if it took all night, she was determined to show Aaron and Andreas what the schools present had to offer.
"Look, this could go on all night, and I wouldn't leave this spot," Palmer said. "I just can't believe they're doing all this here."

Question for people who use pot for pain. I've tried a ton of different strains over the years. Various sativas, hybrids, indacas, cbd, etc. I've smoked, vaped, used oil, capsules. Everything. It seem that any time I try to use it, it makes my pain WORSE! My two questions are:
1) Has anyone else had this experience? If so, did you find something that DID work for you?
2) For those who have had it receive nerve and muscle pain, what are some strains/kinds of pot/ways of taking it that have helped you with pain?

- Wildlife
- Wildflowers
- Fragrant Orchid
Philip Precey
The Common Fragrant Orchid is a robust, medium-sized orchid found on dry and damp grasslands, particularly with chalky soils or on limestone. Clustering to form cylindrical, densely packed flower spikes, the flowers themselves are usually pink but can vary from purple to white. In bloom during June and July, the Common Fragrant Orchid lives up to its name by producing a sweet, orangey smell that is particularly strong in the evening.
How to identify
Common Fragrant Orchids display clusters of pink flowers that have a three-lobed lip, a hood and a long spur trailing behind them. The cylindrical head of flowers can measure up to 15cm in height. A few, narrow, green leaves appear at the base of the plant and up the stem.
Where to find it
Abundant in Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as in the south of England and Wales.
When to find it
- June
- July
How can people help
Areas of rare and unique wildlife, chalk grasslands have been likened to rainforest for the diversity of species they hold. But they are being lost at an alarming rate due to changes in land use causing the decline of grazing: it's estimated that we've lost 80% of our chalk grassland over the last 60 years. The Wildlife Trusts manage many grassland nature reserves for the benefit of the rare wildlife they hold by using traditional management methods such as autumn grazing and scrub clearance. You can help too: volunteer for your local Wildlife Trust and you could be involved in everything from flower surveys to stockwatching.

As the world becomes increasingly digital, high tech companies face a new reality: the speed of innovation is greater than it's ever been, the time between development cycles continues to shrink, and customer expectations continuously rise. Only by becoming more data-driven in their decisions can high tech companies become more responsive to their customers' needs, deliver new digital experiences and increase operational efficiency. To make this happen, high tech companies must master the Digital Thread – the flow of data that runs through all the organizations and contexts with which a product/service interacts.
Accenture recently completed research among global high tech companies aimed to understand the industry's readiness for, and adoption of, the Digital Thread. Learn more about what we discovered, and why these findings are so important to high tech companies today.

It's been a whirlpool, but when is it not. However, this trip was one of the best, and a lot of it is due to my attitude, some mind changes for the way I view what my kids choose to do with their lives, and for the fact how I appreciate my friends deeper, stand a little taller, and running, while a huge part of my life, is not all-defining.
...This week is crazy here, back in Austin, 4 days before next trip, 2 full time jobs 8 am to 8 pm, window replacement in the house, coaching, and squeezing in at least 1 yoga and a massage, so I will have to be brief, as sad as it is, because I have a lot to say.
My flight was delayed, so I couldn't make it to the Gorge Friday morning and see Ronda, and went straight to see Mike Bushwhacker Burke at the coffee shop, where we chatted for half and hour, and headed down to Forest Park to see Gail (who drove from Bend just to see me!). Three Musketeers were back together...for a walk in the park and a nice talk:) But, since neither one of us is racing and training as a life-consuming agenda, we talked work, kids and some politics. I love these two, but have to admit, three is a crowd for me, I planned to see each of them separately, because the conversations get much deeper and meaningful when one-on-one. Well, there will be more visits...
And twas is my life. High in craziness, business, emotions good and bad - to come home, to Larry, and exhale deeply. Thank God he is in my life, my rock, my stability, my slowing down and allowing feelings to sink in, to be processed, to renew - and to be ready for life, again.

PINEHURST, N.C. – Richard Powell led the King men's golf team to a third place finish while the women maintained their fifth place standing as the 2012 Conference Carolinas Golf Championships concluded from Pinehurst, N.C. on Tuesday. Both teams fought through unfavorable and windy conditions at the Pinehurst Country Club to end the season.
The Tornado finished in third place overall with a three-round score of 907 (297-298-312). Richard Powell (Hixson, Tenn.) was the model of consistency, shooting his second straight round of 73 of the tournament to turn in an 18-hole average of 73.25. The junior finished second overall among the 51-man field with a 220 (74-73-73) final score.
Senior Adrian Kibsey (Winnipeg, Manitoba) finished inside the top-10, tying for eighth overall. Like many others who battled the weather, Kibsey's score rose from day one to day two as the senior posted an 81 in the third round. He finished with a three-round score of 226 (72-73-81).
Josh Bamberger (232), Lee Whitehead (234), and Ross Maietta (237) rounded out the King scorecard to lead to an overall team three-round score of 907.
The men's team entered the final round in first place but the Coker College men's team came out with a third round 285, besting their previous round by 23 strokes and jumping five spots to take the team title. Barton College finished in second place as a team, shooting an 899, leading to King's third place finish. North Greenville University's Adam Black shot a third-round 67 to come from the bottom of the pack and earn the individual course win (217).
The Lady Tornado maintained their fifth place spot after their second and final round of the Golf Championships. Junior Esther Gandarias (Madrid, Spain) was one of very few in the field whose score fell despite the weather affecting play dramatically throughout the day. She shot a second-round 81, the fourth-best round of the day by anyone in the tournament, to complete a two-day score of 163 (82-81). She finished in a tie for sixth overall in the tournament.
King saw two others finish inside the top 25 of the women's championship. Freshman Anna Walker (Marion, Va.) finished in a tie for 18th overall with a 173 (90-83) while improving her second day score by seven strokes. Cortnee Young finished in a tie for 23rd overall, shooting 84-91-175.
Kerby Jones (Eagleville, Tenn.) and Malorie McBride (Brentwood, Tenn.) completed King's lineup on the women's side, shooting 188 and 197, respectively.

Recently, the Lincoln Park Bikeshare station was expanded. Now, when I ride by in the morning, instead of an empty station, I typically see about 4 or 5 waiting bikes. This seems like a good thing. I think that even more pressure will be taken off the station once the 15th and Independence, SE station comes online, which I hope will be soon, as it will be my "home" station, insofar as it will be the one closest to my actual home.
Another day, another wet commute. Chilly, too, but nothing too dissuading. For the hardcores at least. Nearly everyone I saw was bundled to some degree. If not a helmet, at least a hat, which is just good sense.
Does anyone out there like charity? Not just the Christian virtue, but the thing where you give your money to people or organizations that previously didn't have your money out of the kindness of your heart. Well, in the month of December, I've got some half-baked idea that maybe I should be engaged in helping you help me help you (you follow?) transfer your monies to charity. So, here's what I'm willing to do: use this blog towards a charitable end. This will probably take two forms, the first of which is my buying a bunch of TFTS-themed "merch" and selling it you and giving all the profits to charity (I'm thinking WABA, but if you've got some better bike-themed organization in mind, please suggest). So if you want "merch" (and really, why wouldn't you? Everyone loves buying stuff festooned with the logos of their favorite lunchtime/bathroom blogging diversion), get ready. Think of how cool/awkward it will be when you roll up on another awesome Tales from the Sharrows reader (or me) and have the same button displayed on your pannier or backpack.
The second thing I'm willing to do, and for a much higher dollar value because this is clearly a much more valuable service, is blog your commute. If you give, I don't know, let's say $50, to WABA, I will meet you at your domicile or your office and ride with you and then I'll blog your (and my) irreverent observations. What a deal! Have you always wanted to reach an audience of dozens of some
So that's my charity plan. If I can figure out how, I'll set up some sort of PayPal dealy and we can try to make this thing go. 'Tis the season for responsible and thoughtful charitable giving and, in spite of that, there's this also.
I spent a good portion of my ride today thinking about bike commuting and gender difference, perhaps spurred on by a series I tweets I saw yesterday and recurring conversations with the Official Wife. I think I can say unironically that I'm a feminist, categorizing feminism as the understanding that men and women are equal and that societal, cultural and institutional relationships do not, but should, recognize this fact. (I spent most of my climb up Massachusetts thinking about this definition and that's the best I could do. If you ever want to distract yourself during a ride, that's one way.) I saw a number of woman bike commuters out today, pretty much the same proportion as any other day, in spite of the somewhat gross weather. I don't know to what effect weather considerations factor in the decision to bike commute, but, based on my anecdotal observations, I don't think that they impact the decision to ride for one gender over the other- that is to say, for those who have cleared cleared the initial hurdle in deciding to commute by bicycle, adverse conditions will cull riders in a non-gender-specific way. But, perhaps interestingly, perhaps not, most of the woman bike commuters I saw today were wearing jeans, which definitely makes me think that dress codes and "work-appropriate"appearance play a large and important role in circumscribing the number of woman bike commuters. (This isn't an original idea). I wonder what expectations there are for female professional appearance in heavy bike-riding countries.
Looks like it's raining now, so it should be a good trip home. Just treat the rain with equanimity and it'll be fine. And have lights and fenders and such.

Holocaust Research
| Jewish American Research
This article is part of a series.
|Overview of Jewish American Research
|Jewish Migration to the United States
|Holocaust Research
|Finding Jewish Records
|List of Useful Jewish Research Resources
This article originally appeared in "Jewish American Research" by Gary Mokotoff in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
Most Jewish Americans are descended from Ashkenazic Jews who did not have surnames before the nineteenth century. Consequently, it is unusual to trace a Jewish ancestry back more than two hundred years. In fact, most Jewish Americans do not trace their ancestry as much as they document their families; that is, they identify their most ancient ancestor, then trace forward to document all descendants of this ancestor'rarely more than ten generations. Because 50 percent of European Jewry was murdered in the Holocaust (91 percent of Polish Jewry), virtually every Jewish American has relatives who were victims of the Holocaust. (I have documented more than 250 descendants of my great-great-great-grandfather who were murdered'fewer than thirty survivors are known).
Although many Holocaust victims had no surviving immediate family members, there are persons who have remembered them. These remembrances are documented in two of the most important sources of information about Holocaust victims: yizkor books and Pages of Testimony.
Yizkor Books
After World War II, the survivors of the Holocaust published books that memorialized the destroyed Jewish communities of Europe. Called yizkor books (yizkor means 'memorial' or 'remembrance' in Hebrew), they commemorate not only the victims but the Jewish communities themselves. To date, more than one thousand towns have been commemorated in this manner.
Although each book was written independently of the others, yizkor books have a typical structure. The first section describes the history of the Jewish community in the town or city from its inception, sometimes hundreds of years ago, to the events of the Holocaust, which invariably culminated in the destruction of all Jewish religious property (synagogues, cemeteries, etc.) and the immediate murder of the Jewish population or their deportation to labor or extermination camps. For the genealogist, this overview section provides much material about Jewish community life in the town.
The next section of a yizkor book is a group of stories that are the personal remembrances of survivors about their families. These usually contain a wealth of information about the particular family. The following section is devoted to families from which there were no survivors. The descriptions are usually brief'one or two paragraphs headed by the names of the father and mother, as well as the names of the children. The final section is a necrology'a list of all the victims from the town.
A searchable index of towns with yizkor books that is updated regularly can be found at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/database.html. The most complete list of towns in print can be found in Where Once We Walked'Revised Edition by Gary Mokotoff and Sallyann Amdur Sack. Any town in this gazetteer that has a code 'YB' in its description has a yizkor book. Major yizkor book collections are at the YIVO Institute in New York and the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Many public and university libraries with Judaica collections have acquired a good number of these books. A list of them can be found at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/yizlibs.html. The New York Public Library has placed online the contents of more than eight hundred yizkor books. They can be found at http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/jws/yizkorbooks_intro.cfm.
Pages of Testimony
The major archive and documentation center for the Holocaust is Yad Vashem. Since 1955, Yad Vashem has been attempting to identify, on documents called Pages of Testimony, each of the 6 million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust. To date, 3 million Holocaust victims have been documented. Yad Vashem has requested persons come forward and submit, on preprinted forms, a host of information about victims, including name; place and year of birth; place, date, and circumstances of death; name of mother, father, and spouse; and, in some cases, name and age of children (see figure 18-3). Each submitter must sign the Page of Testimony and indicate his or her name, address, and relationship to the deceased. Not only do Pages of Testimony provide lineage-linked information about Holocaust victims, they provide a connection to the present through the submitter of the document. If the submitter can be located, he or she can often provide firsthand information about the family. Unfortunately, most Pages of Testimony were written in the late 1950s, more than fifty years ago, and many of the submitters are no longer alive; however, their children can often provide additional information if they can be located. These Pages of Testimony are now online as part of The Central Database of Shoah Victims Names at http://www.yadvashem.org.
Holocaust Centers
Holocaust education centers exist throughout the world. Exhibits depict events during this period, and many have libraries containing literature about the Holocaust. A list of centers that are members of the Association of Holocaust Organizations can be found at http://www.ahoinfo.org.

The Crimson has registered 10 wins in Ivy League play six times in the last seven years (OAC).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Emma Golen scored a career-high 21 points and Brogan Berry moved into a tie for second place on Harvard's career assists list as the Crimson defeated Dartmouth Tuesday night, 74-69, in the team's regular season finale.
Golen shot 8-of-13 from the floor, including a 3-of-6 clip from three, en route to her 21-point night. The junior also dished out a career-high five assists and pulled down eight rebounds. Christine Clark tallied 14 points and four steals while Elise Gordon scored a career-best 12 points on 6-of-9 shooting.
Berry notched 13 points, four assists and four steals in 33 minutes. Her four helpers moved her career total to 517, tying her with former teammate Emily Tay '09 for second place in Harvard history and fourth place in Ivy League annals. Berry also eclipsed the 1,400 career point plateau, and ranks sixth in program history with 1,411.
Harvard (17-11, 10-4) shot 42.2 percent for the game against 46.7 percent from Dartmouth (6-22, 4-10), but turned 19 Big Green turnovers into 24 points and outscored Dartmouth 36-26 in the paint. The win puts Harvard at 10-4 in conference play, marking the sixth time in the last seven years the Crimson have notched 10 wins in the Ivy League.
Sasha Dosenko scored 20 points for the Big Green while Tia Dawson registered a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Harvard jumped out to yet another big lead as a Golen three-pointer and a pair of baskets by Clark put the Crimson on top, 8-0. Dartmouth did not back down, however, pulling to within three off a Faziah Steen triple, 10-7, before taking an 11-10 lead off back-to-back Dawson buckets. Harvard regained the lead on a second Golen three and went up 16-11 the next time down the court following a Golen and-one.
Victoria Lippert scored four straight points for a 20-11 advantage, but the Big Green scored 10 unanswered points and went back in front, 21-20, on a Steen jumper with 7:38 remaining. Berry responded with her first points of the evening as the teams began to trade blows back and forth. Dartmouth went ahead by as many as eight points, 36-28, before Golen and Gordon ended the half on a 6-0 run to send the teams into the locker room with the Big Green on top, 36-34.
Golen led all scorers at the break with 13 points on 5-of-10 shooting. Gorden added eight points on 4-of-6 shooting while both Elle Hagedorn and Miriam Rutzen pulled down five rebounds. Dartmouth shot 47.1 percent in the frame with Dawson netting 13, but the Crimson stayed in the game with 14 offensive rebounds as it held a 25-17 edge on the glass.
Golen continued to light it up as she hit her third three-pointer of the night before converting her second three-point play on the next possession for a 44-42 Harvard lead. The and-one sparked an 11-0 run as the Crimson went ahead 52-42 on Hagedorn's fastbreak layup with 13:32 to go. Harvard scored eight straight after a pair of Dartmouth free throws, and took a 16-point lead, 60-44, on a Gordon basket in transition.
The Big Green hit three straight three-pointers during an 11-0 stretch to pull within 60-55, and made it a 62-58 game with a Dawson three-point play. A Berry layup and free throws from Clark put the lead back at eight, 66-58, but Steen's trey with 3:37 remaining made it a four-point game once again, 66-62.
Steen scored seven straight points for Dartmouth to keep the Big Green close and after Sasha Dosenko's three the score stood at 72-69 with 0:58 to play. Harvard was unable to convert at its offensive end but Dosenko's attempt to tie it on Dartmouth's ensuing possession was off the mark and Hagedorn came down with the rebound. Hagedorn was fouled with 0:09 on the clock and hit both free throws, giving the Crimson the final 74-69 margin.
Harvard will now await to learn its WNIT fate when the brackets are revealed Monday, March 12.
Game Notes: Brogan Berry moved into a tie with Emily Tay '09 for second in Harvard history and fourth in Ivy League annals with 517 career assists … Brogan Berry also set the program record for career starts with her 113th career start … Emma Golen scored a career-high 21 points on 8-of-13 shooting and dished out a career-best five assists … Elise Gordon also recorded a career-high with 12 points in 12 minutes … Harvard dished out a season-high 21 assists on 27 baskets ... The Crimson has won five straight games against Dartmouth and has swept each of the last two season series.

Media buries indiscriminate violence by opposition forces
Paul Joseph Watson
Tuesday, March 20, 2012
A report by the independent Human Rights Watch organization confirms that Syrian opposition forces, euphemistically described as "protesters" by the mainstream media, are carrying out kidnappings, executions and torture against Syrians deemed loyal to President Bashar Al-Assad.
The findings confirm the fact that Syria is in the throes of a civil war, with both sides responsible for indiscriminate violence, a fact that the establishment media has done everything in its power to hide in the effort to portray Assad's actions as genocide.
"Armed opposition elements have carried out serious human rights abuses, Human Rights Watch said today in a public letter to the Syrian National Council (SNC) and other leading Syrian opposition groups. Abuses include kidnapping, detention, and torture of security force members, government supporters, and people identified as members of pro-government militias, called shabeeha. Human Rights Watch has also received reports of executions by armed opposition groups of security force members and civilians."
The report cites a number of eyewitnesses who attest to the fact that opposition forces have kidnapped and tortured to death members of Syrian security forces as well as civilians. One story recounts how armed men stormed a neighborhood and kidnapped a man's elderly parents. The gang demanded money from 'Marwan' for the safe return of his parents but later told him they had been killed.
"After that we saw a video on YouTube showing their dead bodies. We have not received the bodies back despite numerous pleas," states 'Marwan'.
Iranian nationals are also being kidnapped and tortured into confessing they are members of Iranian armed forces, manufacturing the myth that Tehran has embroiled itself in the conflict.
"Human Rights Watch has reviewed at least 25 videos on YouTube in which Syrian security forces or their alleged supporters confess to crimes under circumstances in which it appears that their statements were made under duress. At least 18 of these videos show detainees who are bruised, bleeding, or show other signs of physical abuse," states the report.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
It's no surprise that elements of the opposition forces have been caught engaging in torture and executions given the fact that many of them are being led by Al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorists.
The same terrorists that helped the west overthrow Gaddafi were subsequently airlifted into Syria to fight NATO's proxy war against President Bashar Al-Assad. Hillary Clinton admitted in a BBC News interview that the US and Al-Qaeda were on the same side in Syria.
Syrian "opposition" forces are now also rallying around the Al-Qaeda flag just as their comrades did in Libya.
This video shows Syrian "activists" flying the Al-Qaeda flag during an anti-Assad protest in the northern Syrian town of Binnish. In another clip, armed Syrian rebels address the camera standing behind a table draped with the black Al-Qaeda flag.
These terrorists have already carried out numerous bombings in Syria, including Saturday's twin car bomb attack in Damascus which killed 27 people, including a number of innocent civilians.
The HRW report dovetails with the Arab League's investigation, which found that both sides were responsible for indiscriminate violence, a conclusion that was universally ignored by the corporate press. Only by framing the bloodshed as a one-sided genocidal assault by Assad's forces can a justification for western military intervention be upheld.
Corporate media networks have also thrown their weight behind dubious "activists" like Danny Dayem and others, who have been caught staging propaganda to reinforce the myth that Assad's forces are only targeting innocent people.

Redbridge gluten-free beer seemed to be a thing of the past earlier this year. All of a sudden it disappeared from grocery stores shelves. Tiffany Janes at Celiac-Disease.com reported that after speaking with a representative from Anheuser-Busch, she confirmed that the beer was being reformulated, not discontinued.
It seems the beer was too high in alcohol to be sold in every state. The beer was reformulated to contain only 4% alcohol instead of 4.7%. This now allows the beer to be sold in all 50 states.
The reformulated version of Redbridge is just as good, if not better, than the previous version. It is the perfect ending to a long, hot summer day. Pizza and beer; burgers & an ice cold beer; nachos & beer – it doesn't get any better than that.
Redbridge can be found in Columbus at Raisin Rack on Schrock Rd or at Whole Foods in Dublin or on West Lane. Kroger and Walmart both carried Red Bridge at one point, but has not been on the shelves in the past few months. Uno Chicago Grill in Dublin and Pickerington also serves Redbridge to go along side their gluten-free pizza.

SARASOTA, Fla.
— Mark Hendrickson is trying to re-invent himself at the age of 38.
The Orioles, especially manager Buck Showalter, believe he can.
The 6-foot-9 left-hander — a veteran of five different major league teams, including a stint with the Orioles from 2009-2011 — didn't pitch professionally last season. No teams were interested in his services. His phone was not called. So instead he pitched in a semi-pro league in York, Pa., the same way he first laid a path to the big leagues.
In December, Hendrickson decided to try a suggestion Showalter gave him two years ago: lower your arm slot to increase the deception in your arms-and-legs delivery.
He called Showalter and told him, and during the Orioles' minicamp last month, he showed the team his new sidearm delivery. It earned him a minor-league contract and an invite to spring training. On Thursday, he threw sidearm off a mound for just the seventh time. It has caught on. Hendrickson has turned his curveball into a slider that comes out with strong movement from his arm new angle. He said throwing overhand now seems foreign to him.
"To be honest, I'm a completely different pitcher than anybody's ever seen," Hendrickson said. "Down there, you can kind of mess with some grips and see how it comes out. Slower, firmer. [I've talked] to [fellow sidearmer] Darren [O'Day] and see how he throws stuff down there. I like what I got for feedback as far as the spin today with the couple that I did throw, so that was good."
Hendrickson, who has mostly pitched in relief in the big leagues since 2010, is still a long shot to make the team out of spring training. His new delivery is a work in progress, and Showalter said Hendrickson could continue to lower his arm angle with the help of pitching coach Rick Adair, who has a reputation for working with unconventional arm slots.
He could remain in extended spring training to continue refining the delivery, or he could be assigned to one of the team's minor league affiliates. Hendrickson said he's open to working his way back. Most important to him is the opportunity.
"There's probably not a person more excited [about] being here than Mark," Showalter said. "It's not that he missed it, but you can tell that he enjoys it. It's like he's got a new toy. It's kind of like R.A. Dickey."
While with the Texas Rangers, Showalter was instrumental in convincing Dickey to try his hand as a knuckleballer and, at age 38, Dickey won last year's National League Cy Young Award.
This offseason, Hendrickson realized his old way of pitching wasn't working. He posted a 4.80 ERA in his previous stint with the Orioles and a 5.03 career mark. His big league career seemed over, unless he chose to adapt.
"You've got to have failure," Showalter added. "It's got to be, 'I can no longer do it.' He knew after a year away that it was over, conventionally the way he was doing it, but he knows that this isn't a one- or two-week tryout. This is something that takes time, and he's willing to do whatever it takes."
Hendrickson appears dedicated to the change. Before reporting to Florida, he pitched to college batters and sought feedback on his delivery.
"I just threw to some hitters just to get some feedback. Just to ask, 'Hey, what are you seeing, what is the deception? What does it look like?'" Hendrickson said. "I got some feedback from some lefties and obviously some righties, as well. That's important just to have me take it all in and learn."
Hendrickson said the new delivery also has alleviated stress on his arm.
"It's a lot easier," he said. "There were times where it would take me a little while to get loose. It's just a different angle, and there's different soreness that I'm going through, but I think it's a lot easier. It's just more fluid, I would say, especially in the first five minutes of throwing. [I] remember Cla Meredith when he was with us, and just watching him in the bullpen, how quickly he got loose. And that's just what I've experienced, too. It's like, 'Wow, the first couple throws, it just seems a little freer.'"
Showalter points to the fact that Hendrickson is a solid athlete — he played parts of four seasons in the NBA before his baseball career — and a quick learner.
And the manager is intrigued about what Hendrickson's comeback could become.
"When he gets it right, he's going to be throwing it from the second baseman," Showalter said. "He's going to be able to create quite a unique angle."

Im with codatango on this one.
If that didn't work then i would explain to the guy that the dog didn't know what he was being beat for.
I would try to teach the guy a better why to work with the dog and offer to help him work with the dog.
If that didn't work then I would beat him over the head with my shotgun.
When I was done I would ask him if he figured out why I beat him over his head.
Some people shouldn't own dogs much less have kids.

In running our daily routines are often faced with challenges and obstacles that can cause stress which adversely affect the body. To be able to let go of the stress we need to break away from the routine and the various activities that may cause stress. There are several ways to dissipate your stress we can start with a simple way to relieve stress and fatigue from routine.
The following health tips to get rid of stress easily.
1. Breathing in
Took a deep breath to reduce stress and relaxes. Try to draw a deep breath and throw away more slowly. When we are stressed we tend to breathe faster and shorter. If you allow can do yoga / meditation, breathing using your abdominal muscles (not the chest) take a deep breath and slowly waste.
2. Walk
Sit and hold office for long hours and work that makes a lot of stress and is not good for health. Take a few minutes to walk around (just take a drink of water). By walking will reduce stress levels and also good for health.
3. Ear massage
Ear has points of reflection that can reflect the body. By massaging the ear helps to release endorphins (a natural hormone that can cause uncomfortable effects) in mind and makes us more relaxed. Rub gently with your thumb and forefinger along the flow path and above the ears.
4. Speak
Discuss your problems with people you trust, friends, lovers, family. Discuss with them about the problems that occur perhaps they can find a solution to resolve the problem, when we are not able to think. Do not hide the problem itself, it will make us more stress.
5. Relax
At the moment we are late, we tend to panic and rush and it makes the tension and stress. Start your morning more relaxed, take a deep breath and breathe calmly.
6. Listen to Music
Music is one powerful way to reduce stress. Listen to your favorite music or songs that can make calm. Music has a tremendous effect to relieve stress and have a good effect on the human brain.
7. Vacation.
Yeah, right! Take a vacation to the place that we like. With a short vacation we forget routines and fatigue that makes us stressed. Vacationing with a friend, lover or family makes us enjoy the holiday.
Stress is something that cannot avoid in our daily lives, but if we can manage it we can live a more comfortable and fun. With a calm mind and positive everything happens for a problem can be solved easily.

Press Releases
U.S. Department of Labor
Wage and Hour Division
Release Number: 13-221-NEW/BOS-13-28
NEW YORK -- The U.S. Department of Labor has obtained a consent order requiring the payment of $278,000 in back wages, interest and costs by DVAA Carle Place Restaurant Inc., doing business as Chateau Briand. The order also finds the catering hall and its executives in contempt of a 2005 court order enjoining them from violating the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
The order resolves a motion for contempt filed by the department following an investigation by its Wage and Hour Division, which found that the catering hall had again violated the FLSA, after previously agreeing to comply with the law. The defendants failed to pay minimum wages and overtime compensation to kitchen employees—dishwashers, prep cooks and cooks—by underreporting the number of work hours worked by employees each workweek and paying weekly salaries to some nonexempt employees for all hours worked. Additionally, Chateau Briand did not keep accurate time and payroll records for these kitchen employees.
The consent order, approved by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, acknowledges that the following parties are in contempt of court for not complying with a previous order by this federal court to not violate the FLSA: DVVA Carle Place Restaurant Inc., doing business as Chateau Briand, located at 440 Old Country Road, Carle Place, as well as company officers Anthony Scotto, Victor Scotto and Domenico Tallarico.
"We used all of our available tools and resources to pursue a repeat offender who has not maintained compliance despite a prior consent judgment," said Irv Miljoner, district director of the Wage Hour Division's Long Island District Office. "The resolution of this case sends a strong message to Long Island's restaurant and catering industry that we will vigorously pursue contempt charges against companies, such as Chateau Briand, that repeatedly and willfully break the law without regard for the rights of workers. We also aim to level the competitive playing field for employers who are in compliance."
The order prohibits the defendants from future FLSA violations. The defendants are also prohibited from discharging or retaliating against any employee who discloses or threatens to disclose possible FLSA violations, cooperates with an investigation into possible FLSA violations, or refuses to participate in any activity that the employee believes is in violation of the FLSA.
The defendants are ordered to pay $230,000 in back wages and $23,000 in prejudgment interest to 88 employees, and must also pay the department $25,000 for the costs incurred in investigating this matter and bringing the action to enforce the consent judgment.
In addition, the defendants must retain, at their own expense, an independent monitor to ensure FLSA compliance and train employees on their rights under the act. The monitor will have the freedom to conduct workplace inspections and interview workers and will provide the Wage and Hour Division with regular reports. If the defendants fail to correct any future violations of the FLSA, they could be fined up to $200 per day.
The case was litigated by the department's Regional Office of the Solicitor in New York City.
The FLSA requires that covered employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour as well as time and one-half their regular rates for every hour they work beyond 40 per week. The law also requires employers to maintain accurate records of employees' wages, hours and other conditions of employment, and prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who exercise their rights under the law. The FLSA provides that employers who violate the law are, as a general rule, liable to employees for back wages and an equal amount in liquidated damages.
For more information about the FLSA, call the Wage and Hour Division's Long Island District Office in Westbury at 516-338-1890 or call the division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243). Information is also available at http://www.dol.gov/whd.

Many couples who conceived a first child easily, or even accidentally, are stunned to find themselves unable to conceive a second child. According to Resolve, the National Fertility Association, more than 3 million Americans suffer from secondary infertility, making it more common than primary infertility, yet couples are far less likely to seek treatment for this condition. Many couples delay seeking help because they mistakenly believe their past fertility ensures future fertility and their doctors may downplay their concerns and resist taking action.
Secondary infertility is defined as the inability to become pregnant, or to carry a pregnancy to term, following the birth of one or more biological children. The rising rate of secondary infertility, which has increased 60 percent since 1995, is thought to be caused by the increasing number of couples waiting until they are older and more financially stable to have children, as well as couples on their second or third marriages who decide to have another child.
One of the most common causes of secondary infertility is age, so if it has been a few years since you had your first child, your egg production and quality may have begun decreasing, or you may have developed a physical condition that affects fertility, such as weight gain, ovulation problems, endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, uterine fibroids or polyps, or suffered an infection from previous childbirth, D&C, or c-section. In addition, your partner's sperm count, motility, or health may have deteriorated, or he may be experiencing impotence or ejaculation problems. Many couples who already have a child aren't having as much sex as they were the first time around because they just don't have the time, are too tired from taking care of the younger child, or may be experiencing marital stress.
In general, if you are under 35 and have not conceived after one year of regular, unprotected sex, experts recommend you see your doctor. However, if you are over 35 and have not conceived after six months of regular, unprotected sex, you should be tested for fertility. And you should make an appointment to see your doctor sooner than six months if you had problems conceiving the first time, have experienced two or more miscarriages, have irregular periods, especially painful periods, burning, an increase in vaginal discharge, or if your partner is experiencing a decrease in his sex drive, painful ejaculations, or impotence.
Suffering secondary infertility can be particularly difficult for couples to cope with for many reasons. They may feel guilty for not providing a sibling for their child, selfish for delaying a second pregnancy until it was "too late" to conceive, or feel guilty for feeling that one child isn't enough for them. Many childless couples can avoid child- and baby-centered situations such as children's birthday parties or baby showers; but couples with children often find themselves surrounded by their child's friends, pregnant mothers or those with new babies who serve as constant reminders of their inability to have another baby. In addition, the couple's first child may begin asking when they will bring home a little brother or sister, and friends and family may inadvertently ask insensitive questions such as "When are you going to have another?"
Couples dealing with secondary infertility may also have a difficult time finding help from infertility support groups because the members may feel couples who have already been blessed with one child should be grateful for and satisfied with what they have and are greedy for wanting another. These couples are often caught between two worlds, fertile and infertile, and are shunned by both.
Treatment for secondary infertility depends on the root cause of the infertility, just as with primary infertility. However, your doctor will probably ask you about your previous pregnancy and delivery because a few conditions, such as Asherman's syndrome (intrauterine adhesions as a result of scarring after uterine surgery), are rarely seen in women who have never been pregnant. Your doctor will also look for any new symptoms which may point to endometriosis, pelvic or uterine infection, and other fertility inhibitors. Treatment for secondary infertility can carry special considerations when a couple must choose between spending money on fertility treatments to conceive another child or spending that money on the child they already have.
In many cases, the cause of secondary infertility can be treated, so consult a reproductive specialist and have both you and your partner tested. In addition, Resolve sponsors support groups specifically for couples struggling with secondary infertility.

The Big 5 died Tuesday, murdered by a statewide elected official with a weapon handed him by the voters.
Police have yet to make any arrests.
The Big 5 referred to meetings of the five major players in the Capitol who often met to make budget deals and negotiate other major legislation.
U.S. & World
They were the governor, the Assembly Speaker, the Senate president pro tem and the minority party leaders in the Assembly and Senate.
Big 5 meetings were controversial -- they occurred behind closed doors and thus shut out the press and other elected leaders -- but they were part of the process, in many years, of negotiating a budget.
But Big 5 meetings are pointless now.
Controller John Chiang, by withholding the pay of legislators after he judged the ballot they passed last week was unbalanced, made clear that the Big 5 isn't big enough.
From this point forward, we'll need a Big 6. The controller, with his action, just bought himself a seat at the big boys table.
How's that?
No legislative leader in his right mind would negotiate a budget without getting sign-off in advance from the controller. Because without the controller's approval, lawmakers don't get paid.
So there's no point in negotiating details without the controller present. Whatever you think of Chiang's decison, he just made his office far more powerful, which is what successful politicians do.
Of course, the controller's new power brings a new obstacle to the nearly impossible task of reaching budget agreements. Which will require lots more Big 6 meetings.
This is good for this controller and future controllers, who will have a high profile.
It also means that ambitious young politicians in California will be more likely to run for this job than other down-ticket statewide offices, like treasurer or secretary of state or lieutenant governor.

Buffalo City Hall, a stunning example of the Art Deco Style, was completed in 1931. The novel design of the north wing of the building created a spectacular stained-glass ceiling that illuminates the City Council Chamber using sunlight.

Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast.

The only things I am going to miss are Akira Tago's puzzles and the professor and Luke. :"(

PHILADELPHIA — Obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) tend to co-exist and are associated with a variety of cardiovascular risk factors, including inflammation, insulin resistance, abnormal cholesterol, and high blood pressure. While effective therapies are available for OSA, researchers are still unclear about what interventions are most effective in reducing the burden of risk factors for cardiovascular disease associated with OSA in obese patients. New research from a multidisciplinary team at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania now reveals that the single most important factor for improving cardiovascular health in obese OSA patients is weight loss. The study results are published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
"In the U.S. almost 1 in 5 adults has sleep apnea, which is associated with an increased risk for a variety of cardiovascular complications. Sleep apnea and obesity are strongly associated. We performed this study to find out to what degree obesity and OSA contribute to the burden of cardiovascular risk factors and to quantify the reduction in these risk factors achieved by weight loss, therapy for sleep apnea, or the combination of both" said lead study author Julio Chirinos, MD, PhD, assistant professor of Medicine at Penn.
In the trial, the investigators randomly assigned 181 participants with obesity, moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea and high C-reactive protein levels (CRP) (an inflammatory marker associated with heart disease) for 24 weeks to either weight loss therapy, CPAP therapy, or the combination of weight loss and CPAP. The authors then evaluated the incremental effect of combination therapy with CPAP and weight loss over each therapy alone, on subclinical inflammation, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and blood pressure in obese subjects with OSA.
They found no significant effect of combination therapy over either therapy alone when it came to reducing CRP levels. Weight loss alone significantly reduced CRP, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and high blood pressure. In stark contrast, they did not observe a significant effect of CPAP on CRP, insulin sensitivity or dyslipidemia, even among subjects who adhered to therapy. "These data argue against an independent causal relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and these cardiovascular risk factors in this population and suggest that CPAP is not an effective therapy to reduce the burden of these particular risk factors. These findings also indicate that weight loss therapy should be a central component of strategies to improve the cardiovascular risk factor profile of obese patients with OSA," said Chirinos.
Despite the lack of an effect of CPAP therapy on the risk factors mentioned above, both CPAP and weight loss reduced blood pressure. Furthermore, among subjects who adhered to therapy, CPAP provided an incremental effect over weight loss-only (i.e., participants randomized to combination therapy had a more pronounced effect on blood pressure than participants receiving either therapy alone). "The design of this trial allowed us to conclude that both obesity and sleep apnea are causally related to high blood pressure," Chirinos added.
In addition, the results suggest that adhering to a regimen of weight loss and CPAP therapy will result in larger reductions in blood pressure as compared with either therapy alone.
The study opens several questions for future research. "Effective weight reduction interventions as applied in our study are costly and require a multidisciplinary team with expertise in weight loss. Future research should assess how to best deliver effective weight loss programs for these patients. In addition, more research on strategies to enhance CPAP adherence or to identify subjects that are most likely to demonstrate an important reduction in blood pressure with CPAP would be desirable," said Chirinos.
Other study authors from Penn include Indira Gurubhagavatula, MD, Daniel J. Rader, MD, Thomas Wadden, PhD, Raymond Townsend, MD, Greg Maislin, MS, Hassam Saif, MD, Jesse Chittam, MS, Preston Broderick, Alexandra L. Hanlon, PhD and Allan Pack, MD.
The study was supported by grants from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) (R01080076 and P01 HL094307).
Penn Medicine is one of the world's leading academic medical centers, dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care.

The Franklin County Library kicks off two programs to benefit patrons Thursday, March 5.
The first is a one night event designed to prepare patrons and their families for the fast approaching summer season. Texas Parks and Wildlife Game Warden Doyle Brown will present a water safety program at 6:30 p.m. in the board room of the library.
The second program is the first of a weekly series of self help workshops for patrons who may have been affected by the recent downturn in the economy. See the Feb. 26 edition of the Optic-Herald for more information.
