Mo..t.y, April?, zooS NCAA Women's Anat' Four Semifinals Stanford, Tennessee advance to title game TAMPA, Fla. (AP) The bigger the stage, the better Candice Wiggins performs. Wiggins continued her electrifying run through the NCAA tournament, scoring 25 points and grabbing 13 rebounds while getting some timely help from Kayla Pederson and JJ ·Hones as Stanford shocked Connecticut 82-73 in Sunday night's national semifinals. Back in the Final Four for the first time in II years, the Cardinal (35-3) avenged an early season loss to the Huskies (36-2) and advanced to Tuesday night's title game, where they'l'l put a 23-game winning streak on the line against Tennessee or LSU. Wiggins, the first player to have two 40-point performances in the same NCAA tournament, finished five assists shy of the ftrst triple-double in women's Final Four history. She didn't shoot particularly well, going 7-for-19, but made two huge 3pointers to help Stanford pull away for good after UConn trimmed a sevenpoint halftime deficit to 47-46 and appeared to be taking control. Down the stretch, the Cardinll'l's lone · senior struggled from beyond the 3-point line trying to get the Huskies baclr.'in iL Moore was 3-of-ll from behind the arc, and Montgomery was 1-for-9 on the way ~ scoring IS · points.

In combination, they are particularly risky," said the study's lead lllllhor, Dr. Elsie Taveras of Harvard Medical School. The findings, published in April 's Archives of ,Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, are based on mothers' -repOrts ·of liheir babies' sleep habits and TV viewing, and -direct measures efthe children's height, weight and sk.infold thickness. Starting when the babies were -6 months old, mothers . w.ere asked bow long their children napped dnring the day .and hew long they slept at night. Mems were asked again when 11)~ chilc;lnm w~re 1.and 1 years old. They were asked . ~ut 'f\1 tun!! when the children -reached uge 1. · The researchers combined the sleep answers to find an :aw.erage pattern for .each child during the first two years of till:. They found 586 of the children slept an average of 12 or more bours a day and 329 of the children slept less than that. Among the long sleepers, 7 percent were obese at age 3. 1be short sleepers fared worse. Twelve percent of them became obese 3-year-olds . Adding TV to the picture, .J7 percent of those who slept less than l 2 hours a day and watched two or more hours of television a day were obese by the time they were 3. · . Obesity w<;ts defined as havinjl a body mass .index in the '95th percentile or above. BMI 1s a measure that combines lheigbt and weight. A 3-year-old who is 3 feet, 3 inches tall .and 40 pounds would be considered obese. · · The · researchers took into account other risk factors for .o besity. including TV viewing, and still found the children ·w~o · slept fe wer than I 2 hours a day had a doubled risk of bemg obese at age 3 than the other children . Sleep's impact . on appetite hormones.. may explain the .effect, Taveras Sllld. In prior studies, sleep-deprived adults ·produced more ghrelin. a horm<_me that promotes hunger, ·a nd less lef'llll, a hormone that s1gnals fullness. · TV v1e_w mg Js thought to increase the risk of obesity both because 1t takes time away from 'cl!lorie•burn.ing play and ~use of food ads for snacks and fast food. 'l lte families in lhe new study lived in 'Massachusetts and ~:relatively high incomes and .e ducation levels, making it . difficult to apply the findings to everyone, Taveras acknowl.edged. Sleep researc;hers who read the study'·said it add s to growing evidence of the link between poor sleep and obesity. A study_published last year found that every additional hour per mght a third-grader spends sleeping reduces the child's chances ·of being obese in sixth grade by 40 percent.

The findings, published in April 's Archives of ,Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, are based on mothers' -repOrts ·of liheir babies' sleep habits and TV viewing, and -direct measures efthe children's height, weight and sk.infold thickness.

They found 586 of the children slept an average of 12 or more bours a day and 329 of the children slept less than that. Among the long sleepers, 7 percent were obese at age 3. 1be short sleepers fared worse. Twelve percent of them became obese 3-year-olds .
