Survey Finds Televised Sports Inhibit Intimacy

...ba href=/sleep/a/b (SF-27%, S-18%) and proper eating (SF-29%, S-20%), plus a trend toward getting less exercise (SF-32%, S-27%) and doing fewer household chores (SF-34%, S-28%) than do their partners.

Maybe Sports Fans don't realize that reduced ba href=/sleep/a/b, junk food, little exercise and not doing chores - all combined with hours in front of the TV - are taking a toll on their sex lives, but their partners seem to be noticing.

So what do Sufferers do while their partners are glued to the game ...

and what do their watching partners think they're doing?

Both Sufferers (41%) and Sports Fans (40%) agree the non-watching partner "gets stuff accomplished." Of course, if there's resentment from the one getting stuff done, this could be another reason for a negative effect on the relationship.

Sports Fans appear more likely to report their non-watching spouse/partner is doing personal shopping (SF-30%, S-25%), while Sufferers seem more likely to report spending time with friends or family (S-32%, SF-26%).

There's also disparity when it comes to nagging and guilt.

Sufferers appear to see themselves as nagging more than their partners think they do (S-26%, SF-21%).

Maybe Sports Fans don't feel the nagging as much because they're already feeling guilty (SF-22%, S-15%) or just not paying attention.

So, what are the implications with NBA and NHL playoffs, baseball, golf, tennis, and NASCAR all revving up?

Authenex Delivers Mobile Data Security Breakthrough

...ba href=/sleep/a/b better now, knowing that while my workers are on the road or at home, they are protected by the new v4 A-Key(R) token," said Paul Lin, founder and CEO of Authenex.

"Since our token does not require installation, our users are free to work wherever they want, even on public PCs at airports." The v4 A-Key(R) token enables up to two (2) levels of password management: either just the user level or both the administrator and user levels.

This enables a greater degree of control over how the token can be used and by whom.

Since the A-Key(R) token requires authentication before it can be used, any files or data stored on the token cannot be seen or used by anyone but the authenticated user.

The token contains up to one (1) Gigabyte of encrypted storage for user data, such as certificates, documents, single-sign on credentials, etc.

All data is encrypted on-the-fly by AES encryption at the hardware level.

The storage on the token is also protected against brute force penetration: the hardware will self-erase if someone tries to log on to the token and fails a predefined number of times.

This ensures that, in case of loss or theft, organizations have the peace of mind that comes from knowing their vital information cannot fall into the wrong hands.

The A-Key(R) token also supports multiple authentication protocols (One- Time Password, PKI, or Challenge-Response authentication), and all Authenex products leverage the chip-based A-Key(R) token, making them easy to manage and use.

Caribou Coffee Helps Americans Survive Daylight Saving Time With ...

...ba href=/sleep/a/b.

The extra hour of daylight gained during the spring and summer hours, beginning on April 2, will help Americans enjoy daylight in the evenings, save energy because less electricity is used for appliances and lighting, and help decrease evening traffic accidents.

Caribou Coffee CEO Michael J.

Coles said, "Our company motto is 'Life is short.

Stay awake for it.' This weekend, life seems even shorter!

That's why we are the official coffee of Daylight Saving Time and are offering our customers a FREE shot of espresso in any drink this Sunday and Monday.

It's just a small way for us to say thank you to our customers and help them make it through this launch into spring!

" Ben Franklin created Daylight Saving Time at the age of 78 when visiting Paris as an American delegate in 1784.

He then wrote an essay discussing the thriftiness of natural versus artificial lighting, and now Americans embrace his idea as a way to enjoy daylight while conserving energy.
