Laverne Renz lives alone in her home near Pittsburgh. At 85-years-old, Renz is not as independent as she used to be, but she has plenty of energy.“I have to listen to her, or she’ll beat me up,” Renz jokingly said when asked about her caretaker, Rose Shenkel. The two have a playful relationship.But Shenkel is not always around, so Renz has a back-up caretaker.“Alexa, call Susie for me,” shouts Renz.She uses Amazon’s Alexa to make phone calls and to listen to her favorite music. Alexa is even setup to give Renz important reminders.“She reminds me when to take my medicine, when to eat my lunch. She reminds me of everything. She won’t leave me alone,” jokes Renz.But Shenkel said when she’s not there to keep Renz company, Alexa can step in.“It’s companionship for her. Artificial, but it’s companionship,” says Shenkel. “She spends a lot of time alone, so I think when Alexa comes on that perks her up, even when she wants to shut her up, it perks her up.”The technology can be more than just a voice to talk to. It’s also setup to be a lifesaver. 1065

It's mid-May, but winter apparently is not finished with parts of the Northeast, which could see yet more snow this week.Cold air coming in from Canada is likely to cause a mix of snow and rain in higher elevations of New Hampshire, Vermont and much of northern Maine by early Tuesday, CNN meteorologist Gene Norman said."It wouldn't be surprising to see flakes flying in places like Montpelier (Vermont) and Portland, Maine," Norman said, adding that if there is measurable snowfall in Portland, it would be the latest in the year that the white stuff has fallen since May 11, 1945.That's after a miserable Mother's Day of of sleet and snow in parts of western Massachusetts. That was produced in part by the same low-pressure system that triggered flooding rains and some severe storms through the Southeast.Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant on Sunday issued a state of emergency following the strong storms and flooding that started Wednesday, with multiple counties reporting major flooding. Damage possibly caused by tornadoes was reported in two counties, the governor's office said in a press release.Southern Texas was 1134

In the battle between the adolescent penchant for hitting the snooze button and parental desire to rush them onto an early morning school bus, experts say science is increasingly siding with the snooze.The biological clock of teens is shifted, Dr. Mary Carskadon, director of the Sleep and Chronobiology Research Lab at EP Bradley Hospital, told CNN. That means everything influenced by the circadian timing process, including sleeping, waking and eating patterns are set later.And if teens have trouble naturally falling asleep at an early hour and don't get the recommended eight and a half to nine hours of sleep, asking them to be awake, ready and in a classroom by 7:30 a.m. can wreak havoc on their systems, Carskadon said.Students in one state have gotten a reprieve from the early morning blues. California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation Sunday that pushes back start times for middle and high schools to align with teens' circadian rhythms. It's a move sleep experts hope more school districts will follow.That's especially because research suggests that when teens get a later start in the morning, they can do a better job of checking off the things on many parents' priority lists like:Paying attention and getting their homework doneFour out of five public middle and high schools in the US start before 8:30 a.m., the earliest time recommended for teens, according to the US Centers for Disease Control.Carskadon says the negative consequences of early waking on academic performance are obvious: Students have more trouble concentrating in class and retaining information, feel tired during the day, have more absences and tardiness and have a hard time doing their homework and class reading well.There isn't enough time between when their clocks tell them to go to sleep and when they need to be in class to get the sleep they need, she says. And to make matters worse, for many teens, their bodies are telling them it's still time to be in bed when they are trying to listen in class."A lot of kids will just be asleep in first period because their brains are -- almost literally -- on the pillow and not yet in the classroom," she said.Avoiding the junk foodWhen students are off of their regular sleep cycle, they often also fall off of their ideal eating cycle too, Carskadon said. Since the biological clock influences humans' eating, straying from the circadian rhythm could mean eating too much or eating the wrong food at the wrong times, she said.Who among us reaches for a healthy snack when we are tired and awake when we aren't supposed to be, asked Stacy Simera, a licensed social worker who is chair of the sleep committee for the Ohio Adolescent Health Partnership.That disruption not only means worse nutrition, but it can lead to an increased risk for Type 2 diabetes, Carskadon said.Staying out of troubleWhen it comes to impulse control, Carskadon and her colleagues say teenagers already have the accelerator pushed down without any breaks. That's because the emotional side of the brain is well developed in those years, but doesn't have a very strong link to the executive decision-making side.And neuroimaging studies showed that link is even weaker in teens without enough sleep. The result can be trouble controlling their impulses and increasingly engaging in risky behaviors like foregoing helmets, driving under the influence and abusing substances, Carskadon said.Keeping happy and safeFrom a physical health perspective, teens who get adequate sleep also are shown to suffer fewer car accidents and sports injuries, said Simera.She says teens fall asleep easiest and get the best quality sleep from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m. -- the sweet spot. And research shows that straying from that sweet spot and sleeping less is correlated to depression, anxiety and suicide, she said.One study found that for each extra hour of sleep adolescents get, 3899

LAS VEGAS — In a town that has made its mark on betting and gambling, there's one thing on which folks wish they wager: elections."Since football started on Saturday and Sunday, we're jammed here, but you'd be surprised with all the people here is it legal to bet on the federal election," said Jimmy Vaccaro, a betting expert with South Point Hotel & Casino.Vacarro says the sportsbook received calls from across the U.S. and around the world after the last election, wondering if election betting was real.Some of those calls from other countries asked which candidate was the favorite and why.Vaccaro says U.S. elections are a big event for the European Book."It is their third or fourth biggest day of the year when they have odds on our people over here," Vaccaro said.If election betting were to become legal in America, Vaccaro is confident sports betting would be blown out of the water."Betting on an election would make the Super Bowl look like a high school football game," Vaccaro said.Election betting is a two-for-one as Vaccaro calls it. Bettors could walk away with a chunk of change, perhaps, the change they want for America.Vaccaro believes while it's not legal in America, in time, it will be a part of the "sports" book.He guesses at least a decade until it happens and becomes accepted."For the younger people to get into power, and they've grown up around this and grown up around the legalization of sports betting and sees nothing wrong with it, its just another past time," Vaccaro said. 1529
