People and numbers forge the backbone of sports, in these parts rarely more than during 2012. High school, college and professional. Football, basketball and golf. Men, women and young folk.
At every level and seemingly at every turn sports retained its uncanny ability to entertain, surprise and provoke.
From Phoebus High's unusual coaching transition, to the NCAA Championship Subdivision's first 5,000-yard passing season. From the LPGA Tour's second-longest, sudden-death playoff to the ACC's rapid membership changes. From a hospital bed in Newport News to the medal stand at the London Olympics.
So before ratcheting up your New Year's festivities and forecasting 2013, settle in and relive 2012's top-10 sports stories, as chosen by our staff. On Pages 4-5
1. Phoebus' drive for a record fifth consecutive state football championship encountered an unforeseen hurdle in late September when administrators suspended head coach Stan Sexton, 47-2 in three-plus seasons, following a practice incident in which a player was injured. Defensive coordinator Jeremy Blunt took over on an interim basis, and less than three weeks later, administrators made Sexton's departure permanent. Under Blunt, the Phantoms won their next six games to a complete a 10-0 regular season. But in the third round of the Eastern Region playoffs, Lake Taylor mauled Phoebus 54-0, the Phantoms' worse loss in 27 years. The Titans won the Division 5 state title, the first football state championship for a Norfolk school since Granby in 1966. On Dec. 17, school officials removed the interim tag and hired Blunt full-time. "I've known him ever since I was in elementary school," junior lineman Kevin Lyles said of Blunt. "The guys wanted him back. He's the person we need to get back on track and (win) another state championship."
2. 'Twas a turbulent 2012 for Virginia Tech athletics. First, the school fired basketball coach Seth Greenberg and replaced him with James Johnson, a former Greenberg assistant who had just left for an assistant's position at Clemson. Greenberg's late-April dismissal was unusually timed, lending credence to athletic director Jim Weaver's assertion that the decision had little to do with wins and losses ? the Hokies were 16-17 last season, 170-123 under Greenberg, but made only one NCAA tournament during his tenure. In short, Greenberg chafed many in the athletic department, his staff and Weaver included, and his ultimate mistake was portraying assistants' departure as a reflection of Tech's salaries. As much drama as basketball created, it paled to football, which endured a 7-6 season, its worst record in 20 years. Preseason favorites to win the ACC Coastal Division, the Hokies didn't secure bowl eligibility for the 20th consecutive year until a 17-14 victory over Virginia in the finale. They defeated Rutgers 13-10 on Friday in the Russell Athletic Bowl.
3. Old Dominion's final season as a Football Championship Subdivision program was indelible, in large measure, because of sophomore quarterback Taylor Heinicke. He not only led the Monarchs to the national playoff quarterfinals, but also eclipsed Steve McNair's 18-year-old FCS record for passing yards in a season. Heinicke finished with 5,076 and won the Payton Award, emblematic of FCS' top offensive player. His next challenge is to help ODU's transition to the Bowl Subdivision, an upgrade the school announced in May with its move to Conference USA. Watching Heinicke next season against the likes of Maryland, North Carolina and East Carolina will be curious, indeed.
4. When the ACC welcomed Notre Dame as a football scheduling/bowl partner and full member for other sports in mid-September, the conference's membership appeared set for years, perhaps decades. Two months later, charter member Maryland blindsided its colleagues and the league office by announcing its intention to not only leave for the Big Ten but also to fight the ACC's $52 million exit fee. National media and even Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski pronounced the ACC vulnerable to further defections. Many speculated that Virginia also could be Big Ten-bound, a notion athletic director Craig Littlepage quashed. At year's end, and with Louisville secured to replace Maryland, the ACC again appears solid.
5. Francena McCorory and Kellie Wells missed one another by a year at Hampton University, but they were U.S. Olympic teammates last summer, and each returned from London with hardware. A graduate of Bethel High, McCorory won a gold medal in the 4x400 relay; Wells captured bronze in the 100-meter hurdles. "Coming from Hampton University made me so proud," Wells said during an October celebration at HU, "because it shows you don't have to be from a big SEC school with all the money and big budgets. ? Francena and I had that (Hampton) blue and white through our hearts."
6. Less than a month after former Hampton High basketball standout Gary Smith lost his fight with leukemia, the Crabbers won their first state championship in 15 years, defeating Petersburg 64-51. "Make sure you put in that this was for Monstar," Hampton guard Anthony Barber said afterward, using Smith's nickname. For all the emotion of the Crabbers' postseason run, much drama remained for Peninsula District fans. Specifically, where would Barber, Phoebus' Troy Williams and Woodside's Adrienne Motley elect to attend college in 2013? Each chose programs that resided among the top 25 last season. Barber signed with North Carolina State, Williams, who is finishing his prep career at Oak Hill Academy, with Indiana, and Motley with Miami.
7. Saddled with a September date that conflicted with blanket college football and a NASCAR race in Richmond, the LPGA's return to Kingsmill after a three-year absence figured to struggle for attention. Then Paula Creamer and Jiyai Shin staged the second-longest, sudden-death playoff in tour history, a nine-hole ordeal that spilled into Monday morning after darkness prevailed Sunday night. Eight times the pair dueled over the par-4 18th hole, and eight times each made par. Tournament officials shifted Monday's opening playoff hole to the par-4 16th, where Creamer's 3-putt bogey handed Shin her first victory in two years. Both players exited Virginia quickly for the Women's British Open, which Shin won by a record nine shots.
8. The post-spring practice arrival of former Alabama and prep All-America quarterback Phillip Sims spiced Virginia's preseason to wasabi levels, but coach Mike London and his staff never settled on a coherent strategy or rotation at the game's linchpin position. That led to the Cavaliers' 4-8 season and the subsequent transfer of rising senior Michael Rocco, with whom Sims shared playing time. Virginia's 2-6 ACC record relegated it to last place in the league's Coastal Division for the third time in four years and prompted London to dismiss four assistant coaches, including defensive coordinator Jim Reid.
9. If you think college conference realignment is confusing, try wrapping your arms around the structure the Virginia High School League has adopted for 2013 and beyond. Schools will be divided into six classes, strictly by enrollment with no option to play up. Current districts will remain intact for regular season competition but vanish come postseason, when teams will be divided into smaller conferences of 5-8 schools. Locally, the Peninsula and Bay Rivers Districts will include schools from three classes and conferences, with the changes creating heretofore unimaginable playoff pairings such as Phoebus-Grafton and Denbigh-Jamestown.
10. As coach, administrator and ambassador, C.J. Woollum has been the front porch of Christopher Newport athletics since 1984, when he began a 26-year run as basketball coach that included 502 victories and 17 NCAA Division III tournament appearances. After 25 years as the school's athletic director, a tenure than included the Captains adding football, Woollum stepped down in June to assume an emeritus role. Less than two months later, he underwent surgery in Newport News to remove a cancerous brain tumor. Woollum is back home and undergoing treatments, and in late October gave a wry acceptance speech marking his induction into the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame.

South African media say provincial authorities are investigating the deaths of seven job-seekers who collapsed in the heat while undergoing a fitness test for positions as traffic officers.
The chief transport official for KwaZulu-Natal province, Willies Mchunu, has suspended further test in the meantime.
The state-owned South African Broadcasting Corporation reported that several tens of thousands of people took the fitness test late last week, even though only 90 jobs were available. They were required to run four kilometers (2.5 miles) in temperatures of more than 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), and many collapsed from dehydration and heat exhaustion. Some received hospital treatment.
South Africa's official statistics show that the unemployment rate is 25 percent, an indication why so many were applying for the 90 jobs.

NEW YORK (AP) ? A woman accused of pushing a man to his death in front of a subway train was charged Saturday with murder as a hate crime.
Police arrested Erica Menendez on Saturday after a passer-by on a street noticed she resembled the woman seen in a surveillance video.
A spokeswoman for Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown said Menendez told authorities she hates Hindus and Muslims.
Subway shoving victim Sunando Sen was from India, but it's unclear if he was Muslim or Hindu.
Sen, who lived in Queens and ran a printing shop, was killed Thursday night. Witnesses said a muttering woman pushed him on the tracks as a 7 train entered a Queens station and then ran off.
Menendez was in custody Saturday and couldn't be reached for comment. It was unclear if she had an attorney.
It was unclear whether the woman who pushed Sen had any connection to him. Witnesses told police the two hadn't interacted on the platform as they waited for the 7 train, which runs between Manhattan and Queens.
Police released security camera video showing the woman running from the station where Sen was killed.
On Saturday, a passer-by noticed a woman who resembled the woman in the video and called 911. Police responded and confirmed her identity and took her to a police station, where she made statements implicating herself in the crime, police spokesman Paul Browne said.
The attack was the second time this month that a man was pushed to his death in a city subway station. A homeless man was arrested in early December and accused of shoving a man in front of a train in Times Square. He claimed he acted in self-defense and is awaiting trial.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Friday urged residents to keep the second fatal subway shove in the city this month in perspective. The news of Sen's horrific death came as the mayor touted drops in the city's annual homicide and shooting totals.
"It's a very tragic case, but what we want to focus on today is the overall safety in New York," Bloomberg told reporters following a police academy graduation on Friday.
But commuters still expressed concern over subway safety.
"It's just a really sad commentary on the world and on human beings, period," said Howard Roth, who takes the subway daily.
He said the deadly push reminded him, "the best thing is what they tell you ? don't stand near the edge, and keep your eyes open."
Such subway deaths are rare, but other high-profile cases include the 1999 fatal shoving of Kendra Webdale, an aspiring screenwriter, by a former psychiatric patient. That case led to a state law allowing for more supervision of mentally ill people living outside institutions.

NEW YORK (AP) ? Coach of the month in November, out of a job by New Year's.
The Brooklyn Nets have elevated expectations this season, and a .500 record wasn't good enough. Coach Avery Johnson was fired Thursday, his team having lost 10 of 13 games after a strong start to its first season in Brooklyn.
"We don't have the same fire now than we did when we were 11-4," general manager Billy King said at a news conference in East Rutherford, N.J. "I tried to talk to Avery about it and we just can't figure it out. The same pattern kept on happening."
Assistant P.J. Carlesimo will coach the Nets on an interim basis, starting Friday night with a home game against Charlotte. King said the Nets might reach out to other candidates, but for now the job was Carlesimo's. The GM wouldn't comment on a report that the team planned to get in touch with former Lakers coach Phil Jackson.
King said the decision to dismiss Johnson was made by ownership after a phone discussion Thursday morning. Owner Mikhail Prokhorov had expressed faith in Johnson before the season.
"With the direction we were going we felt we had to make a change," King said.
Johnson was in the final year of a three-year, $12 million contract.
"It's a really disappointing day for me and my family. It's my wife's birthday. It's not a great birthday gift," Johnson said. "I didn't see this coming. But this is ownership's decision. It's part of the business. Fair or unfair, it's time for a new voice and hopefully they'll get back on track."
The Nets have fallen well behind the first-place New York Knicks, the team they so badly want to compete with in their new home. But after beating the Knicks in their first meeting Nov. 26, probably the high point of Johnson's tenure, the Nets went 5-10 and frustrations have been mounting.
"Our goal is to get to the conference finals," King said. "We started out good and then we stumbled. We have to get back to playing winning basketball. It's the entire team. It's not like golf, where Tiger Woods can blame the caddie. It takes five guys on the court and they're all struggling. We have to figure out the ways to get back to winning. I don't know what happened. I'm not sure. But unfortunately, it did happen."
The Nets were embarrassed by Boston on national TV on Christmas, then were routed by Milwaukee 108-93 on Wednesday night for their fifth loss in six games.
Star guard Deron Williams recently complained about Johnson's offense, and Nets CEO Brett Yormark took to Twitter after the loss to Celtics to voice his displeasure with the performance.
King said the change was not made because Williams was unhappy, and he added the point guard himself has to play better.
Johnson also stood by Williams.
"From Day One, I always had a really good relationship with him. I don't think it's fair for anyone to hang this on Deron," Johnson said. "We were just going through a bad streak, a bad spell. It's not time for me to be down on one player. That would be the easy way."
Brooklyn started the season 11-4, winning five in a row to end November, when Johnson was Eastern Conference coach of the month. But he couldn't do anything to stop this slump, one the Nets never anticipated after a $350 million summer spending spree they believed would take them toward the top of their conference.
Johnson has been the Nets' coach for a little more than two seasons. He went 60-116 with the Nets, who moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn to start the season. Johnson coached the Dallas Mavericks to a spot in the NBA Finals in 2006.
"You don't always get a fair shake as a coach," Johnson said. "I'm not the owner. If I were the owner, I wouldn't have fired myself today. But life is not always necessary fair. It's a business and in this business, the coach always gets blamed."
This is the NBA's second coaching change this season following the dismissal of Mike Brown by the Los Angeles Lakers.
Johnson arrived in New Jersey with a 194-70 record, a .735 winning percentage that was the highest in NBA history, but had little chance of success in his first two seasons while the Nets focused all their planning on the move to Brooklyn.
They looked to make a splash this summer when they re-signed Williams and fellow starters Gerald Wallace, Brook Lopez and Kris Humphries, traded for Atlanta All-Star Joe Johnson, and added veteran depth with players such as Reggie Evans, C.J. Watson and Andray Blatche.
Johnson didn't have a contract beyond this season but seemed to have the confidence of Prokhorov, the Russian billionaire who before the season said he had faith in "the Avery defense system."
Some thought the Nets would finish as high as second in the East behind defending champion Miami, and the predictions seemed warranted when the Nets started quickly amid much fanfare. But all the good publicity faded in recent weeks once the losing started.
Williams, who has struggled this season, stirred the waters when he expressed his preference for the offense he ran under Jerry Sloan in Utah before a loss to the Jazz. Williams and Johnson, nicknamed "Brooklyn's Backcourt" and expected to be one of the best in the NBA, have shot poorly and rarely meshed.
The Nets were embarrassed near the end of their 93-76 loss to Boston, when fans exited early amid a chant of "Let's go Celtics!"
"Nets fans deserved better," Yormark tweeted after the game. "The entire organization needs to work harder to find a solution. We will get there."
Not under Johnson, though.
The Nets should be able to entice a big-name coach with Prokhorov's billions and the chance to play in a major market at Barclays Center, the $1 billion arena that has drawn praise in the city and from visiting teams.
Carlesimo has previous NBA head coaching experience in Portland, Golden State and Seattle/Oklahoma City. He has a career coaching record of 204-296 in the regular season and 3-9 in the playoffs.
"Right now, P.J. is our coach and I told him to coach the team like he'll be here for the next 10 years," King said.

Paul?e, the restaurant in Dundee which opened to great fanfare last May, has parted ways with?Chef Daniel Mondok. According to Eater, Sean Temple, his chef de cuisine, is stepping into his position.
When the restaurant opened, Daniel said, ?we want to make this the next Napa Valley??Today, people come from all over the world to the Napa Valley to eat. Now they?re going to come from all over the world to Dundee to eat.?
Maybe they weren?t becoming the destination he had hoped. I don?t know anyone who has been, and the few reviews on Yelp have been mixed.
Somebody has to say this, and you know I?m the only one who is going to do it: Really? Another washout? He?s had the top position at?Carlyle, Olea, Sel Gris, June, Genoa, Paul?e. I have no idea why these restaurants haven?t worked out for him, but I have to wonder?
Here is a little more information on Quartet, set to open in the former Lucier location on Portland?s waterfront. The ?gold ball? where the bartender station was has been removed. The front door is being replaced with a glass and wood version to make a more welcoming entrance. Next, a baby grand piano is being added ? a very nice one, suitable for accomplished players. Word on the street is they?ve had some strong talent in the Portland area respond to their ads.
A surprise to me, Portland Monthly says the BridgePort Ale House has closed.
BridgePort gave Robles free reign to transform the brewpub menu into?a playground of Asian-inspired comfort food with big flavors and a lot of wit, drawing rave reviews from regulars and destination diners alike.?Dishes like Momofuku-inspired steamed buns with bulgogi beef and kimchee or pork belly and cucumber?and the rice bowls with?char siu pork and sesame carrots topped with a fried egg were a welcome departure from the burgers and wings at most beer joints.
People have been giving me crap for saying that I think the Portland food scene has?plateaued, but in their continuing roundup of 2012, Eater polled ?Food writers and experts on the best and most overrated dining cities of 2012?, in which Portland was called out several times, though only by Eater personnel:
Matt Buchanan,?BuzzFeed FWD?Editor:?Seattle?was my favorite non-native stop, though ? there?s a maturity to what?s happening in food there that you don?t see in, say, Portland.
Lockhart Steele, Eater co-founder:?A Tale of Two Pacific Northwests in my travels this year:?Seattle, surprise win.?Portland, totally played.
Amanda Kludt, Eater Editorial Director:?I took my first trip to?Portland?this year for the wonderful Feast festival. While I would pay to have the chicken and rice from Nong?s Khao Man Gai shipped to my apartment on a weekly basis, I didn?t discover a whole lot in that restaurant scene that doesn?t already exist in Brooklyn. The restaurants are solid, but, coming from New York, I?d rather be dining in Seattle, LA, and San Francisco.
It is good that no one else in the survey even mentioned us, right??All the haters now have my permission to bash me for this heresy.
In another surprise, Ping is closing for a remodeling and expansion. Portland Monthly Magazine:
After a remodel, the new Ping will house 80 to 85 seats in 2400 square feet, including a new lounge area and private dining room.?The bar will move into the new side of the eatery, and the kitchen line will be extended to where the current bar sits. A bigger kitchen means more room for menu exploration: ?Before, we just couldn?t explore certain cuisines because we didn?t have the space to do it,? according to Huffman. ?In the future, types of food that just weren?t viable will become possible.?
Hand in hand with the remodel, Huffman and the Jays will bring on?a new chef partner to transform the menu into something they can call their own.?While the identity of the new chef is under wraps, expect a shift from the drinking food menu put in place by previous co-owner Andy Ricker of Pok Pok fame.
Frankly, I didn?t know they drew much of a crowd. It?s time I gave them another try.
OpenTable has announced their ?100 Best Restaurants in America?. The list was determined by the the number of positive reviews out of the 5 million submitted in the last year.
The only Oregon choice deemed good enough to make the list is The Painted Lady in Newberg. Seattle was named three times.
On another note, TripAdvisor named their ?Users? Favorite Restaurants of 2012?. I was worried about Oregon making the cut here, as other winners were Uchi in Austin, Chicago?s Alinea, and Le Cirque. Fortunately we had a restaurant that could stand up to them: The Screen Door.
And you wonder why I?m a bit sour. By the way, I?ll never review the Painted Lady, because I have a policy of never going to restaurants which play music on their websites. It?s an ABOMINATION! Scared me so bad I knocked over my eggnog!?OK? I wasn?t going to bring this up, but after working on the New Year?s Eve and Christmas dining lists, I have to say it ? once again. Why oh why do restaurants not put contact information on your front page? I am so sick of trying to figure out where you?ve hidden the damn address! Is it in the footer? No. On the ?About? page? No. Contact page? Yes. Finally. Wait for it? the address/phone number are on a graphic, which I can?t paste into my phone map/dialer. Idiocy.
Whew.
Del Inti has closed. According to their website, ?We have much going on in our personal lives that has influenced this decision as well as the feeling that it is time to move on?. I?d post more of their statement, but it?s a graphic. Grr.
For all of you who like boxed wine because it lasts for weeks, take note. University of California, Davis researchers found that boxed wine is more vulnerable to warmer storage temperatures that traditional wine bottles. From The Sacramento Bee:
Researchers employed chemical analyses and a panel of trained tasters to analyze storing wine at three different temperatures and in different containers. California chardonnay was analyzed in?glass bottles,?with corks from trees, synthetic corks or screw caps and two kinds of bag-in-box containers.
Warmer temperatures made for changes in the wine ? and bag-in-box wines changes were more pronounced, according to a university press release.
Box wine stored at 68 and 104 degrees aged significantly faster than bottled wine. It became ?darker and developed sherry-like, dried fruit-like and vinegar-like attributes.?
Researchers discovered that all of the wines aged better when stored at 50 degrees.
?The way a wine looks, tastes and smells is affected by the way certain compounds react with oxygen,? said lead researcher Helene Hopfer. ?Those reactions speed up at higher temperatures, so differences in the way packaging systems manage oxygen in the container become critically important to aging and stability of wine.?
?
The New Year?s Eve post has received the most traffic of anything I?ve posted in two years. Christmas day alone it got over 30,000 visitors. I?m updating the list every day, so if you have an event that hasn?t been posted, drop me a note and I?ll add it.
Finally, I wanted to say thanks to all of you who read this site. It is hard for me to believe that this all started way back in 2004 ? an eternity in blogging years. In spite of my health issues, traffic has increased every single year. I appreciate those who have continued to follow me and my various contributors. A friend recently said that I?m still writing because I?m too stubborn to stop. I have to agree, but add, it gives me a reason to get out of bed every day, no matter how lousy I feel. For that, I am eternally grateful.

Plumbing gone on vacation? Or just bad install? Slow drains.
When I am getting ready to perform a home inspection for Desert Sun Home inspections, I always ask the buyer if they have any concerns with the home.
The buyers have already been to the home and checked the home before making an offer.
On this inspection the buyers had a few concerns that they wanted me to pay special attention to.
One of the concerns was the slow moving drains. When they ran water into the sinks and bath tub, then released the water down the drains it would go down really slowly.
I would have found this on my initial inspection, this is a way I check the drains for proper operation.
? Here is a look at the kitchen sink draining very slowly.
There is a drain problem when the drain has bubbles coming back up the basket strainer.
I went under the home to check out the crawl space and inspect the under home plumbing.
Notice this drain line and the "uphill run"? This can cause all kinds of draining issues for the home owner or who ever is living in the home.
The drain line had been replaced at one time but the plumber either did'nt have the room or they simply did'nt replace the lines for proper flow.
With all the cast iron under the home, this should have been torn out and replaced with all new piping.
This would have allowed the drains to do their job and drain the way the lines were intended to drain.
Maybe Uncle Bob was moonlighting a s a plumber on this day. No one will ever know who did this work.
I only report what I find.
Have a great day everyone.?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) ? Prosecutors on Thursday declined to pursue a criminal trespassing charge against a Wisconsin man arrested earlier this month for climbing a fence at a Nashville home linked to country star Taylor Swift.
Jacob Kulke, of Marshfield, Wis., will remain in jail in Nashville as he is fighting extradition to Colorado for probation violation. Kulke did not appear in court during his Thursday hearing. The 24-year-old Kulke was arrested Dec. 14 after climbing a fence and a gate at a home in Belle Meade that has been publicly linked to Swift.
The affidavit said Kulke claimed he was in contact with a person at the home through social media. He said he was dating her and it was her birthday and he wanted to surprise her. Swift was overseas at the time her spokeswoman has previously declined to comment on the case.
Sean McKinney, Kulke's attorney, said Thursday that prosecutors discussed the decision not to prosecute with representatives for Swift. He said that Kulke is not guilty of the trespassing charge and said that his client was tricked by someone into believing that he was communicating with the star. Kulke told police he rode a bus to Nashville from Wisconsin, and then took a taxi to the home.
"It is the defense's position that he was misled by someone else," McKinney said. "Mr. Kulke had reasonable belief that he was invited on to the premises."
McKinney said that prosecutors could still bring the charge back within the statutes of limitations, but no restrictions were placed on him by the prosecutors or Swift.
"He is still a big fan of Taylor Swift," McKinney said.
Assistant District Attorney Tali Rosenblum said that Kulke has already spent 13 days in jail and the trespassing charge is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum 30-day sentence. She said they wanted to resolve the charge in Tennessee so that authorities could extradite him to Colorado.
"Mr. Kulke is looking for his 15 minutes of fame and he got all he deserved," Rosenblum said.

High blood pressure, the pressure in the vessels is increased. This increases the risk for stroke, vascular disease and other serious heart condition
Classic blood pressure: pressure cuff on the upper arm, listening to the sound when you release the pressure (Sphygmanometrie and auscultation)
Survey
Normal blood pressure is below 140/90 mmHg. High blood pressure (or hypertension also called arterial hypertension), these measurements are repeated or consistently exceeded.
High blood pressure occurs mainly as primary hypertension, ie high blood pressure ?in itself.? This means that it is not caused by other diseases. Only about ten to fifteen percent of people with specific diseases, such as kidney, adrenal or thyroid glands are the cause (secondary hypertension). With the treatment of these diseases is often regulated, the increased blood pressure.
However, the problem is that high blood pressure often initially makes no complaints. He usually remains undetected once. The health consequences are long term, however severe. Constantly high pressure strain on the heart. It also constricts the blood vessels, accelerating atherosclerosis (arteriosclerosis) and deteriorated to the circulation.
Therefore, high blood pressure is a leading risk factor for stroke and the next Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) and dyslipidemia a major cause of heart disease such as heart attack and heart failure. The risk of disability and death is high blood pressure increased significantly with these complications.
Also, kidney and eye disease are often based on high blood pressure. As a result, it can lead to kidney failure, and vision impairment, worst come to blindness.
Symptoms:
Over time usually occur initially only general symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, palpitations or stumble, nervousness and insomnia. Other symptoms depend on the possible vascular and organ damage. Sudden blurred vision, double vision can also, for example, be a warning sign of a stroke: Immediately go to the doctor!
Diagnosis:
?
epeated pressure measurements can confirm the diagrnosis. In addition, the heart, the metabolism, the kidneys, the eyes may also be checked. Rarely even further investigations are necessary.
?
?
Therapy:
Numerous effective and safe drugs can lower high blood pressure. New is a catheter treatment, deserted in the renal nerves by supplying radio frequency power are (initially only in intractable hypertension, the method is not yet widely implemented). ?Universal medicine? is a healthy lifestyle. It depends mainly on two points: a balanced, not the metabolism onerous, as a low-salt diet and regular exercise. Low stress, moderate alcohol consumption and not smoking do the rest. If you are overweight, you should lose weight permanently. All this helps to keep the blood pressure in the ?Grunen area? ? a good prerequisite to remain cardiovascular fit.

The trees and vegetation of the Peruvian Amazon are adapting to a warmer, drier future?but can they adapt fast enough?
LAND CLEARING: Smoke rises from a fire set to clear land for farming or pasture outside Tarapoto, Peru. Roads and fields fragment the forest, drying it faster, changing precipitation patterns and making it more difficult for species to shift their ranges to adapt to climate change.

TARAPOTO, Peru?For tropical ecologist Gregory Asner, flying over the Peruvian Amazon from the town of Tarapoto is like traveling back in time. Modern houses, rice paddies and oil palm plantations give way to steep, forested mountains and then to green, unbroken forest that curves toward the horizon.
Suddenly the tree canopy below the twin-engine plane turns a mottled gray-brown, a sign of drought damage that he estimates may affect as many as half the trees.
In this remote corner of Peru?s Ucayali region, Asner, a tropical ecologist at the Carnegie Institution for Science at Stanford University, is afraid he is seeing the future. In the last few years this patch of forest has been hit by two ?once-in-a-century droughts??one in 2005 and another in 2010. These dry spells may become more frequent as temperatures in the tropical North Atlantic Ocean rise and as humans burn thousands of square kilometers of forest for farming. Although it has seen warmer temperatures in the past, the western Amazon is under siege now from a combination of a warming climate and human population growth that it has never faced before, and scientists are scrambling to determine whether existing protected areas will be enough to buffer against the changes to come.
Behind the plane Asner glimpses smoke rising from fires set to clear land for farming. Migration from the Andean highlands has boosted Peru?s Amazonian states to the top of the population growth chart, and the influx of people is taking a toll on the forest.
Peru?s Ministry of Environment?using satellite images and Carnegie-provided software?calculates that the country lost about 6,475 square kilometers of forest, an area the size of Delaware, between 2005 and 2009, up from some 4,550 square kilometers in the five previous years. Losing forest reduces precipitation, further stressing the remaining trees. ?About 50 percent of the rain that falls in the Amazon is generated by the forest itself, through transpiration and evaporation,? Asner says. ?Deforestation exacerbates the drought problem, because it removes that internal engine.?
Clearing fields and pastures also leaves more exposed forest edges, drying out the interior and making it more likely to burn if an agricultural fire escapes. Fires during the 2005 and 2010 droughts added 3.8 gigatons of carbon to the atmosphere, according to Simon Lewis, a forest ecologist at University College London. In recent genetic studies Lewis found that Amazonian trees have weathered past climatic warming, but the changes were slower then and were not exacerbated by humans, he says.
Faced with warmer, drier conditions, trees have three options:
?Individuals can acclimate, species can adapt or migrate, or they go extinct,? says Kenneth Feeley, a biologist at Florida International University. A floral species can expand its range into a cooler region, but only as fast as seed dispersal allows. Feeley, who studies trees on the eastern slope of the Peruvian Andes, was surprised to see range changes there in just a few years. ?Species are moving upslope about three vertical meters a year?that?s really fast,? he says, although perhaps not fast enough. ?Based on the climate change that?s already happening, they need to move nine or 10 vertical meters a years.?
In the lowlands, deforestation reduces the areas to which species can move, and fields, pastures and roads create barriers to dispersal. Peru has some large protected areas, such as Man? National Park, where Feeley does his work, but scientists don?t know if they are big enough?or in the right places?to allow species to migrate in a rapidly changing climate.

Jeffrey Wright is well known around his high school in Louisville, Ky., for his antics as a physics teacher, which include exploding pumpkins, hovercraft and a scary experiment that involves a bed of nails, a cinder block and a sledgehammer.
But it is a simple lecture ? one without props or fireballs ? that leaves the greatest impression on his students each year. The talk is about Mr. Wright?s son and the meaning of life, love and family.
It has become an annual event at Louisville Male Traditional High School (now coed, despite its name), and it has been captured in a short documentary, ?Wright?s Law,? which recently won a gold medal in multimedia in the national College Photographer of the Year competition, run by the University of Missouri.
The filmmaker, Zack Conkle, 22, a photojournalism graduate of Western Kentucky University and a former student of Mr. Wright?s, said he made the film because he would get frustrated trying to describe Mr. Wright?s teaching style. ?I wanted to show people this guy is crazy and really amazing,? Mr. Conkle said in an interview.
The beginning of the film shows Mr. Wright, now 45, at his wackiest. A veteran of 23 years teaching, he does odd experiments involving air pressure and fiery chemicals ? and one in which he lies on a bed of nails with a cinder block on his chest. A student takes a sledgehammer and swings, shattering the block and teaching a physics lesson about force and energy.
But each year, Mr. Wright gives a lecture on his experiences as a parent of a child with special needs. His son, Adam, now 12, has a rare disorder called Joubert syndrome, in which the part of the brain related to balance and movement fails to develop properly. Visually impaired and unable to control his movements, Adam breathes rapidly and doesn?t speak.
Mr. Wright said he decided to share his son?s story when his physics lessons led students to start asking him ?the big questions.?
?When you start talking about physics, you start to wonder, ?What is the purpose of it all?? ? he said in an interview. ?Kids started coming to me and asking me those ultimate questions. I wanted them to look at their life in a little different way ? as opposed to just through the laws of physics ? and give themselves more purpose in life.?
Mr. Wright starts his lecture by talking about the hopes and dreams he had for Adam and his daughter, Abbie, now 15. He recalls the day Adam was born, and the sadness he felt when he learned of his condition.
?All those dreams about ever watching my son knock a home run over the fence went away,? he tells the class. ?The whole thing about where the universe came from? I didn?t care. ? I started asking myself, what was the point of it??
All that changed one day when Mr. Wright saw Abbie, about 4 at the time, playing with dolls on the floor next to Adam. At that moment he realized that his son could see and play ? that the little boy had an inner life. He and his wife, Nancy, began teaching Adam simple sign language. One day, his son signed ?I love you.?
In the lecture, Mr. Wright signs it for the class: ?Daddy, I love you.? ?There is nothing more incredible than the day you see this,? he says, and continues: ?There is something a lot greater than energy. There?s something a lot greater than entropy. What?s the greatest thing??
?Love,? his students whisper.
?That?s what makes the why of what we exist,? Mr. Wright tells the spellbound students. ?In this great big universe, we have all those stars. Who cares? Well, somebody cares. Somebody cares about you a lot. As long as we care about each other, that?s where we go from here.?
As the students file out of class, some wipe away tears and hug their teacher.
Mr. Wright says it can be emotionally draining to share his story with his class. But that is part of his role as a physics teacher.
?When you look at physics, it?s all about laws and how the world works,? he told me. ?But if you don?t tie those laws into a much bigger purpose, the purpose in your heart, then they are going to sit there and ask the question ?Who cares??
?Kids are very spiritual ? they want a bigger purpose. I think that?s where this story gives them something to think about.?
Mr. Wright says the lecture has one other purpose: to inspire students to pursue careers in science and genetic research.
?That?s where I find hope in my students,? he said. ?Maybe if I can instill a little inspiration to my students to go into these fields, who knows? We might be able to come up with something we can use to help Adam out one day.?

With three-quarters of Americans saying the economy's still in a recession, optimism both about personal and global prospects in the year ahead are at their lowest in 11 years. Nonetheless, unlike the past three years, a majority at least says an economic recovery's begun.
Optimism continues to trump pessimism in personal outlook: Fifty-three percent in this ABC News/Washington Post poll are more hopeful than fearful about what 2013 holds in store for them personally. Fewer, 40 percent, are more hopeful than fearful about the world's prospects.
See PDF with full results, charts and tables here.
Both are down sharply, by 32 and 29 percentage points, respectively, from their highs in December 2003, to their lowest level in more than a decade. The 56 percent who express fearfulness about the global outlook ties the high right before 2003, with war in Iraq imminent.
PARTISANSHIP - Political allegiances factor heavily into these views. Seventy-five percent of Democrats express personal optimism, matching its level after the 2008 elections, and their global optimism is just 6 points lower, now 61 percent. Among Republicans, a second consecutive loss is a lot to bear: Their personal and global optimism are nearly half their level vs. four years ago (25 vs. 44 percent, and 18 vs. 39 percent, respectively).
That mirrors trends after the 2004 election, when George W. Bush won his second term. Personal optimism for the next year among Democrats dropped by 29 points from the previous year, and global optimism by 20 points, while optimism among Republicans was virtually unchanged.
Compared to 2008, hopefulness among independents has dropped by 12 and 10 points, respectively. But party's at play there also; Democratic-leaning independents are nearly identical in hopefulness to Democrats, while Republican-leaning independents look much like Republicans.
ECONOMY and THE CLIFF - Despite easing unemployment, Americans continue to feel the effects of the longest, deepest downturn since the Great Depression. Seventy-six percent in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, think that the country still is in a recession, unchanged since April.
But the economy's trajectory matters also. On that, more than half - 53 percent - say that in their personal experience the nation's economy has started to recover. While that's not significantly different than its level this March, it's up by 17 points in the last year.
The increase is broadly based, occurring in nearly every group, albeit only up 10 points to 35 percent among Republicans (compared with a 25-point increase to 72 percent among Democrats) and by a slight 7 points among conservatives, to 34 percent.
Yet even among those who say the recovery is underway, three-quarters say it's a weak one.
While heavily influenced by partisanship, these perceptions still factor into expectations for the year ahead. Personal and global optimism are 26 to 47 points higher among those who say the recession is over or the recovery has begun, compared with those who disagree.
The potential impacts of not reaching an agreement on the fiscal cliff weigh heavily on Americans as well: Three-quarters or more are concerned about its effects on the national economy, their personal finances, the government's operations and the U.S. military. And those who are very worried about these consequences are 17 to 22 points less optimistic about their personal outlook compared with those who are less worried.
MORE ISSUES - Despite the ongoing economic challenges, 66 percent of Americans express optimism about their personal finances in the next year. But the public divides evenly in optimism or pessimism about the national economy more broadly. Both have been stable since March and are nearly identical to their levels four years ago.
Fifty-one percent today say they are pessimistic about the way things are going in this country, a majority for the first time since the question first was asked in 2004. Optimism about the policies Barack Obama will pursue in his second term is at 55 percent, 13 points lower than it was before his first term, but similar to George W. Bush's at the start of his second term. That includes a 28-point drop among Republicans to 17 percent, and 26-point drops each among conservatives (to 25 percent) and affluent Americans (to 46 percent).
Further highlighting Obama's political challenges, 51 percent are pessimistic that he and the Republicans in Congress will find a way to work together on important issues in the year ahead, up 8 points since last measured in early 2011. Not surprisingly, pessimism is highest among Republicans and strong conservatives, at about two-thirds (up 16 and 13 points, respectively).
GROUPS - Across all issues, Democrats are more optimistic than Republicans, with independents falling in between. Excluding hopefulness about personal finances, which exceeds 50 percent even among Republicans, 59 to 85 percent of Democrats are optimistc, compared with 14 to 31 percent of Republicans. (The range is 38 to 54 percent among independents.)
Related to partisanship, one of Obama's core support groups, nonwhites, are more optimistic personally, globally, and on all other specific issues measured, compared with whites. Adults younger than 40 also are more hopeful than fearful about the next year on all issues - except the chances of bipartisanship.
METHODOLOGY - This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by telephone Dec. 13-16, 2012, among a random national sample of 1,002 adults, including landline and cell-phone-only respondents. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points, including design effect. Partisan divisions are 31-24-38 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.
The survey was produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates of New York, N.Y., with sampling, data collection and tabulation by Abt-SRBI of New York, N.Y.
