Since 2014, tech experts are closely watching television industry as several electronic giants are launching their 4K TVs. But are these TVs really worth their price tag? Let's take a look at some points to know more about 4K Ultra HD television sets.
4K allows studios to deliver IMAX-like experience to viewers sitting in their home
Warner Brothers Home Entertainment's President Ron Sanders interacted with journalists and shared his opinion about curved TVs. He stressed on the point that Ultra HD TVs would allow them to develop content that offers premium picture quality, superior contrast, true-to-life colors, as they can use broader palette to tell their stories. Offering such premium experience is possible with help from wide industry consortium.
Tech experts often point out that 3D TVs failed to gain popularity due to their high price and lack of availability of content for television sets. But perhaps, this won't be the case as far as content for UHD curved smart TVs are concerned. As mentioned earlier, Hollywood studios like Disney, Warner brothers, Comcast, Netflix, Google, etc. have already started developing content for curved 4k tv. Electronics giant Panasonic is also ready to release world's first 4K Blu-ray player.
The real challenge in front of curved 4k tv makers is convincing individuals to replace their existing TV sets with UHD TVs that are worth thousands of dollars. Due to credit crunch and unemployment, people have very less disposable income. Plus, smart phones and tab PCs are slowly set to replace television as the main source of entertainment.
Is 4K TV here to stay?
It is clear that broadcasters, Hollywood studios, and video streaming service providers are set to upgrade their content to 4K, just like how they upgraded to HD from SD before few years. These signs are definitely better compared to how markets reacted to 3D. Even top research firms suggest the same.
Gartner research firm's analyst Paul O'Donovan recently shared his organization's opinion about UHD TVs. He stressed on the point that 3D TVs failed as they were more like gimmick for customers. People love to watch 3D movies in theaters, but it appears as if no one is willing to watch TV with glasses at home.
Currently, 4K TV is available for as low as $1000, and industry experts believe that the prices will keep on reducing this year. Almost every popular electronics brand around the world is planning to launch their 4K TV. As per Gartner's prediction, around 30 percent of the TVs sold during 2018 would be 4K sets.
Can users watch HD channels on UHD sets?
There are several HD TV users around the world. Almost all popular broadcasters in the US, the UK offer HD channels featuring popular shows. These HD channels can also be viewed on Ultra HD TVs that have built-in conversion chips to perform the task. Unfortunately, some TVs do not offer this feature. So, while buying your new 4K TV, make sure that your set offers capability to watch SD and HD content as well.
However, HD content won't offer IMAX like picture quality, and may prove to be less impressive than watching 4K content.
Will 4K survive when 8K TVs arrive in the market?
BBC surprised everyone when it shot some parts of Summer Olympics 2012 in 8K. Even Japan's NHK plans to relay some programs in 8K format. However, this does not mean that 4K would be out of the market. Remember, when it comes to HD, people use both, 720p and 1080p as well.
No doubt that 8K is present in the market and broadcasters are testing their hands on the same. Perhaps, sometime in the future, users might get option to choose between 4K UHD and 8K UHD TV sets. Broadcasters around the world would be able to offer 8K only after pioneering in offering 4K. So, it is clear that this journey would take a long time.

3 week Bali trip – A marvellous Experience
One of the best and most popular things to do in Indonesia is a 3 week Bali trip. This island is absolutely wonderful in any way you can imagine. It was the first time I have ever been to an Asian country and I am so glad I did it, because what you will see there is just amazing.
3 week Bali trip – A marvellous Experience
Guys, when I think about my 3 week Bali trip my heart starts to beat faster in I get in an endorphins rush. I really do.
I only have good memories about my first ever trip to Asia. The Bali topic came up while I was in Australia. A german mate told me he was in Thailand and went to Bali as well. He only told me amazing stuff about these two places, so I had to go there.
It's a decision I will never regret for many reasons. During my time in Indonesia I did not only do a 3 week bali trip. I also visited Lombok and the Gili Islands. Also two reeeeally cool places. Asia is very different to all the other continents anyway. This is maybe the reason why I have so many good memories about it.
But anyway, a 3 week Bali trip is mind blowing and I spoil upfront: You need to go there!
3 week Bali trip – General information, cost and where to stay
Bali is one out of 18.307 islands in Indonesia. Even though it is quite small, compared to others, it still is the most popular place to go to. Especially for Australians. For them it is like Mallorca/ Ibiza of Oceania. A lot of people go there for their holidays, because it is cheap and easy to reach. This is why bali is pretty well developed, which is not very common in Asia.
Bali has about 4.2 million inhabitants and was found in 1.500 BC. The island mainly lives of tourism. It's also very famous for good surfing. Heaps of tourists come to Bali only to go for a good surf. But obviously there is a lot more to do 😉
The climate in Bali is very consistent. It's good weather almost all year around. Maybe that's another reason why so many people love to go to there.
The vibe, costs and how to get around
Bali/ the life in Bali is also known to be very relaxed, chilled out and very unique in way, which is hard to explain. It just got this special kind of vibe to it. You will find a lot of backpackers as well, who go there to enjoy life and have a good time. Nowerdays even a lot of young Germans travel all the way from Europe to visit Bali. Crazy how famous this little island got over the last 15 years.
Kuta is the main city and the pivotal point on your 3 week Bali trip. That's also where you find the airport. A flight from anywhere in Australia (that's where most people come from) is about 150-300$ on an average. Hotels, hostels and homestays can be found anywhere on the island. You could even rent your own villa for a month with a couple people and it would be ridiculously cheap. Costs for accommodation vary from 7$ to a couple hundred a night.
It is easy to get around. The best way is to rent a scooter and discover the island on your own. The roads are in good condition. Driving there is way different compared to the western world though. People don't really care about the rules and it is way more crowded on the streets. But you'll figure out how to behave in the traffic during your 3 weeks Bali trip 😉
3 week Bali trip – Highlights and what to do
On a 3 week Bali trip you will have many highlights to see. Just like always, I will only tell you about the stuff, that I have done, but this time I will give you a little overview of what else to see on a 3 week Bali trip.
The first thing you need to do is to stay in Kuta and go on a night out. Maybe that is not appealing for everyone, but it is a must do in my opinion. Bali is very famous for that. You will meet a lot of cool people, especially Australians. I really liked Sky Garden. They offer a buffet from 6 pm for 5$ including free beers until 10 pm. The music is very good and at night it is the main club to go to.
Visiting Kuta beach is also a must do on your 3 week Bali trip. It is a very pretty beach and you can enjoy a magnificant sunset there. It's very pretty almost every day. Even though I have to admit, that there are many beaches, which are even more beautiful.
I personally spent my first couple days in Seminyak. It's a very beautiful area and good for a surf. I stayed at a homestay with another german dude, that I met at the airport. I arrived at about 11 pm and had no place to stay. So, I spoke to him and luckily he took me with him. The accommodations there are very nice. Does not matter, which one you choose.
What you should also see
The next place, which is also a must see in my opinion, is Padang Padang. One of the favourite places I have ever been to for a couple reasons:
- Chilled out and quiet
- Parties in the area every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
- Awesome surf spot
- Good to get to know other travellers
- Cheap accommodation
Padang Padang really is an absolutely awesome place. It's suppose to be one of the best surf spots in whole Indonesia. The surfers I spoke to said it is considered to a "perfect wave" on a good day. And the parties in Padang Padang are a lot of fun. You have this wonderful bay with perfect sand and huge cliffs around you, 200-300 people dancing to reggae music – So cool!
Uluwatu temples
Not far away from there you will find the Uluwatu temples. This is such a cool spot as well and a "Must Do" on your 3 week Bali trip. The landmark of the temple area is a small temple on the edge of the cliffs. Uluwatu is the most western tip from the southern part of the island. Once you enter the temple area, you get a bowknot.
It's a holy zone, so you have to wear this to respect the believe of the locals. The temples are full of monkeys. You can feed them, but you shouldn't. They are quiet cheaky. They even steal cameras or other shining things. So watch out.
Besides that Uluwatu is a very pretty place with stunning views onto some cliffs and the ocean. Especially during sunset it's incomparable. Trust me ?
There is more to come
But there is even more to discover on a 3 week Bali trip. You can have a look at various wonderful waterfalls like the "Sekumpul" or Nung Nung waterfalls. What you also have to see on your 3 weeks Bali trip is Ubud. It is known as the place full of monkeys and rice terraces. I have not been there, but it's suppose to be very special. You can also find some very nice jungle accommodations there, which look like true paradise.
Of course you can also find many other impressive temples like "Tirta Gangga" or "Pura Taman Ayun". Any of these temples suppose to be really nice and worth a visit. If they are nearly as cool as Uluwatu, than I would definitely recommend them on your 3 week Bali trip.
In my opinion a 3 week Bali trip is something everyone should do one time. Even, if you go for a shorter term. This island has such a special vibe to it, that is not really comparable to other places. It is very well developed, but still has a lot of places that seem pretty undiscovered. Just a harmonious combination.
3 Week Bali trip – What I have learned
I have learned something on the 3 week Bali trip, which is equally important for travellers and those, who do not like to travel that often. It's also quite interesting for people, who don't like to go to exotic countries or countries, that might look a little intimidating at first/ from the outside.
The 3 week Bali trip showed me that:
Every country or continent is very unique in its own way
All of them, does not matter, which one you visit on our planet, has something special to it.
Before I went to Australia, I never thought, that I am gonna visit anything else but Down Under. I was not really interested to be honest. I thought: Australia is the only place, which is appealing to me, because of whatever reasons.
When your horizon extends
But now I have a different opinion. Because of other travellers, who told me about Southeast Asia and, because of the fact, that I extended my horizon through travelling. I eventually started to get interested in other continents. And that is really, really good!
I would have never been to that many special places, if I would not been interested and open minded enough to go to more unusual travel destinations. And I am happy I did. Why? Because you learn soooo much in every single country. About the cultures, ways of living, different religions, unique habits of people, nature aaaand so on. It's crazy how much you see/ learn. That's pretty cool I think.
Southeast Asia is a whole different world than Oceania, Europe or any other westernized country. But it is awesome, if you open up to it. And that will always be the same. It just depends on your attitude!

The creative forces of Birds of Paradise & Random Accomplice come together for the first time to bring you a frank and hilarious sex comedy - Wendy Hoose.
Laura and Jake just want sex. Late Friday night drunken sex. Nothing more. No strings attached. But getting your leg over is sometimes more difficult than you think.
Wendy Hoose is about two twenty year olds searching for love in all the wrong places!
The production contains strong language and scenes of a sexual nature. In the comedic style of the production, Wendy Hoose includes audio description, BSL and animated surtitles.
"A vulnerable James Young and a defiantly sexy Amy Conachan star in this outrageously funny comedy of manners" ★★★★ THE GUARDIAN
"the production, co-directed by McKnight and Robert Softley Gale, has no time for such soppiness; it is rude, ribald and hilariously off-colour, and bodes tremendously well for the new directorship of Birds of Paradise." ★★★★ THE GUARDIAN
"Writer McKnight is the master of witty wordplay and Young delivers his painfully cruel rejections with perfect timing and zeal." ★★★★ TV BOMB
"Conachan in particular does a beautiful job of painting Laura as a real woman with needs, wants, desires and obligations, who's not willing to be repressed by the 'disabled' label." ★★★★ TV BOMB
"The knotty problems and see-saw dynamics of the pair who are keen to have sex but don't know each other is captured through McKnight's brilliant ear for authentic West of Scotland speech." ★★★★ EDINBURGH GUIDE
"Julie Brown, whose dry, non- committal tones as observer manage to create a highly comic, virtual ménage a trois." ★★★★ EDINBURGH GUIDE
Age guideline: 16 years +
Running Time: approx 75 mins (no interval)

4-H Clubs
July 1, 2010
All cattle must be tagged with an approved Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag prior to moving from their current location or leaving their farm of origin.
Requirements for producers:
Leave the bar-coded tag in AND apply an RFID tag to the same animal. Cross-reference the RFID tag with the bar-coded tag in the Canadian Livestock Tracking System (CLTS).
Please Note:
Tampering with and/or cutting out an approved tag is prohibited by regulations.
Cross-referencing the data will mean that all of the events uploaded by the producer against the tag and the history of the animal will be maintained. Producers can log onto their accounts at www.clia.livestockid.ca to cross-reference tags or contact the CCIA office at 1-877-909-BEEF (2333).
Information for 4-H Clubs and Members
This information is based on Section 183 (2) of the Canadian Health of Animals Regulations.
The Canadian Cattle Identification Program came into effect January 1, 2001. All cattle are to be ear tagged with a CCIA-approved tag by the time they leave their herd of origin. This will speed up traceback of serious animal health or food concerns, allowing the problem to be contained and eliminated far faster than is possible without individual identification.
All cattle moving beyond their herd of origin must be tagged with a CCIA-approved tag (beef cattle) or an NLID-approved EZE-IR tag (dairy cattle). After July 1 2001 any animal that leaves any herd must bear an official tag and packing plants must start to read these tags and maintain the ID number to the point of carcass inspection. Monetary penalties come into effect July 1, 2002.
Tagging Options
4-H members may purchase their own CCIA tags in their own name or use tags purchased by a parent, so long as the 4-H member's animal is being raised at the same location as the parent's herd. If animals are run together 4-H members do not need their own PIN number and may use their parent's existing PIN number. Beef tags are available through retailers of farm products, veterinarians, and other local organizations. Tags for dairy cattle may be ordered from National Livestock Identification, Box 610 Brantford ON, N3T 5R4.
If an animal is bought that already has a CCIA-approved tag, that tag must not be removed. If an animal that is not yet tagged is purchased it must be tagged by the purchaser before it leaves his or her herd. It's advisable to keep a record of the name and address of the producer from whom the animal was purchased. If a previously tagged animal loses a tag it must be re-tagged and a record kept of the information known about the animal, such as previous tag number (if known) or previous owner.
If a Provincial 4-H Council or a local 4-H Club wishes to distribute tags to its members the organization should contact the CCIA to make the necessary arrangements and be advised of the requirements. If undertaken, this initiative would not prevent the 4-H member from purchasing his or her own tags as described above.
4-H has the option of making the CCIA tag and individual ID number a standard identifier for Market 4-H Beef Project Animals. This could eliminate the need for a separate 4-H tag.
Weigh-in sites may register with CCIA as an approved tagging site. If this is done, untagged cattle may be brought to the site and tagged with a CCIA-approved tag at weigh-in. If an animal is already tagged with an approved tag any other identification required by the 4-H program may be applied, however a second CCIA-approved tag should not be used.
Effective early 2004 the exemptions for exhibition sites were eliminated. Animals that leave their herd of origin to go to a livestock show, exhibition, community pasture, or test station, and that will return to their original herd, need to be tagged provided that the show, exhibition, community pasture or test station has previously registered with CCIA as an approved tagging site.
If an animal is to be sold following a show, exhibition, test or from a community pasture it must be tagged with an approved tag prior to passing into the hands of the new owner.

Conservative Mia Love Releases New Ad – Will Speak at RNC Convention Tuesday Night
Here's good news.
Conservative Mia Love released a new ad this week – "Leading."
Check this out – Awesome!
Mia Love will give a speech at the RNC Convention on Tuesday in Tampa. Condi Rice will come campaign with her in September.
The Herald Extra reported:
Saratoga Springs Mayor Mia Love will be speaking in prime time next week at the Republican national convention.
Love's campaign confirmed Tuesday morning that she will present her speech on Tuesday night in Tampa, the same night that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will give the keynote speech.
The announcement is just another sign of how much focus the national Republican party is giving to Love's race against Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, in Utah's fourth congressional district.
Republicans have dispatched high profile party members like vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, and House Speaker John Boehner throughout the summer to help Love in her effort to take down Matheson. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is expected to be in town to stump for Love in September.
You can donate to Mia Love's campaign here.

Attorney General Eric Holder will be representing the United States at Sunday afternoon's rally against terrorism in Paris, France, according to news reports. President Barack Obama has no public events scheduled, and Secretary of State John Kerry is on a trip to India.
The rally, which millions are expected to attend, will feature several European heads of state and dozens of high-level delegations from other countries. The demonstration is a response to last week's deadly attacks by radical Islamic terrorists on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper and on a kosher supermarket, in which twelve and four people were killed, respectively.
Holder is notorious for denying the links between radical Islam and terrorism, preferring instead to blame "extremism." In testimony to Congress in May 2010, Holder refused to blame radical Islam in addressing the possible motives of terrorists who had recently launched attacks against the United States. "I don't want to say anything negative about a religion," he said.
Holder has also sought to try terrorists in the federal, civilian courts rather than at military tribunals in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. His department investigated the Central Intelligence Agency's use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" but declined to prosecute any agents. Instead of extended questioning, the U.S. now reads terror suspects their Miranda rights fairly soon after apprehension, under new Department of Justice policies.
In addition, Holder has shown lenience to terrorists in the past. During the administration of Bill Clinton, he reportedly pushed the Department of Justice to drop its objection to the commutations of sentences for members of a Puerto Rican terrorist group.
Fox News reports that Holder will also be participating in meetings in Paris with international counterparts about stopping terror attacks.
Holder will also be the featured guest on five major Sunday morning news programs, except for Fox News Sunday.
President Obama is focused on his domestic agenda, and is preparing to continue a nationwide tour this week to preview his upcoming State of the Union address, which will be delivered to Congress the following week.
It is possible that Obama has plans to attend the rally but has not announced them for security reasons. Typically, Obama plays golf on Sunday afternoons, declining to continue a personal golf moratorium that George W. Bush initiated in deference to the fact that U.S. troops area at war abroad. There are also two important NFL playoff games on television on Sunday.
Update: AFP's live feed from the rally shows heads of state and foreign dignitaries marching through Paris.
Update: Pressed by ABC News' George Stephanopoulos Sunday morning to answer whether the U.S. is at war with "radical Islam," Holder again declined.
"I would say that we are at war with terrorists who commit these heinous acts and who use Islam. They use a corrupted version of Islam to justify their actions," he said on This Week with George Stephanopoulos.

A teacher at Oak Park High School is no longer on the job after he was accused of sending "inappropriate communications" to a former student.
North Kansas City school district officials on Tuesday did not describe the specifics of the incident, but said the district had received reports of the inappropriate messages and that Adam Farley, the high school's band director, is no longer employed by the school district.
A spokeswoman for North Kansas City Schools said the district was cooperating with a law enforcement investigation.
The school district on Tuesday released a statement about the investigation:
"North Kansas City Schools has always identified the safety and security of its students as its highest priority. To that end, the district has board policies and procedures in place that prohibit inappropriate communications between staff and students," the statement read in part.
"At this time, there is an ongoing investigation into the matter, and the district is cooperating with our partners in law enforcement. Due to the nature of the allegations, the district is unable to provide specific information about its role in the investigation. Any further questions should be referred to law enforcement."

Expansions of benzene at 1–10 mol % in neon or helium with various nozzle types have produced clusters of benzene molecules. Preliminary comparisons with intensities from the bulk liquid and with model calculations based on solid state crystal structures suggest that on the average the clusters are probably considerably larger than a 13 molecule unit, and have a vibrational temperature on the order of 100–150 K. Unlike clusters of spherical or quasispherical molecules previously found to pack in nearly crystalline arrays, benzene molecules appear to be unable to organize into regular arrays in the time of our experiments. Local order in clusters is similar but not identical to that in the solid, resembling that expected for a supercooled liquid. The present approach, exploiting several advantages of electron diffraction over alternative methods, shows promise as a new means of studying liquids or glasses.

Haley, Courtney
I have read several posts on this site about connections between the Courtney and Haley families.
I have a Stephen D. Haley (b. ca. 1805 VA) who named his daughter Elizabeth Courtney Haley.Some speculate that Stephen's wife was a Courtney, but there is no evidence of this.Stephen's parents were Charles Haley and Mary Polly (Walker) Haley.They married in Charlotte Co., VA in 1798 and in the early 1800's moved to Rockingham Co., NC.By 1830 they were in Lincoln Co., TN.In searching for the parents of Charles Haley, I found reference to James Haley b. 1751 who m. Lucy Elizabeth Courtney.I do not have any evidence to show that James Haley married a woman by that name, but it's an interesting possibility.
Could James Haley, b. 1751 be the father of Charles Haley, b. bef. 1775?Could that be why his son, Stephen D. Haley, named his daughter Elizabeth Courtney?
Any information appreciated.

Catalonia sticks with 'exiled' leader
CARLES Puigdemont is set be re-installed as Catalonia's president following a deal between the region's two major separatist parties.
Under the agreement between Mr Puigdemont's Junts per Catalunya party (Together for Catalonia) and the Catalan Republic Left, the fugitive politician would be installed at a meeting of the parliament next week.
The deal comes after pro-independence parties won the narrowest of majorities in seats in the Catalonian parliament at elections on December 21 called by Spain's national government - which had suspended Catalonia's government.
Both parties have confirmed the deal but confusion remains about how the president will read his legally required installation speech to the Catalan Parliament on Wednesday without returning to Catalonia, where he is wanted by Spanish authorities.
The Catalan Parliament's lawyers are set to examine proposals for Mr Puigdemont to read his address via videolink from abroad or have another MP read the speech, according to Spanish media reports.
The possibility of a remote investiture is not covered by the rules of the Catalan parliament, and the deal to reinstall Mr Puigdemont is conditional on a legally sound way of reading the address.
Mr Puigdemont fled to Brussels after Spanish authorities levelled charges of sedition, rebellion and misuse of public funds against him for his role in the region's disputed independence referendum.
While Spanish authorities have dropped a bid for a European arrest warrant to deport him, he has previously said he will return to Spain only if it offers certain "guarantees".
Some of Mr Pugidemont's political allies are in jail on similar charges, having been arrested as he fled.
Mr Puigdemont said on Tuesday at a videoconference that "it is not possible to return to Catalonia" because of the current legal situation.
His lawyers have previously suggested that he might return to Spain following December's elections.

Dylan & Levi
Easy-going but hard to tell apart – twins Dylan and Levi were born with a double dose of heart trouble. Just hours old, they came to Children's Hospital and Medical Center.
Complete Story
A rare genetic disorder that is characterized by the premature fusion between certain bones of the skull and of the face. This early fusion prevents the bones from growing normally affecting the shape of the head, the appearance of the face and the relationship of the teeth.
• Unlike many other craniosynostosis syndromes, Crouzon syndrome does not involve abnormalities of the hands and feet.
• However, Crouzon can include spine abnormalities.
• Crouzon syndrome is estimated to occur in 1.6 per 100,000 children.
Abnormal growth of the skull and facial bones can cause:
• Wide set and bulging eyes
• Vision problems caused by shallow eye sockets
• Eyes that do not point in the same direction (strabismus)
• A beaked nose
• underdeveloped upper jaw
Your child may also experience:
• Dental problems and hearing loss, which may also be accompanied by narrow ear canals
o Hearing impairment occurs in about 55 percent of infants with some children born with no ear canals at all.
• Cleft lip and palate (less common)
• Craniosynostosis - a condition in which the sutures in an infant's skull close too early causing problems with normal brain and skull growth.
Neurological problems include an increased risk to develop excess fluid on the brain (hydrocephalus) or an abnormal growth on the back of the brain called a Chiari malformation.
What causes Crouzon syndrome?
• A genetic or spontaneous change or mutation in one of the fibroblast growth factor receptor genes
• The condition can be inherited from one parent who passes the abnormal gene onto their child. There is a 50 percent chance that the gene will be passed along to a child.
Our craniofacial team will evaluate your child carefully to determine the best long-term treatment plan.
• Surgery will likely be recommended to open closed sutures to allow for expansion and a reshaping of the skull. This is known as cranial vault expansion and reshaping.
• Whether your child is a candidate for this procedure will depend on the number and type of closed sutures.
An infant with multiple-suture synostosis that causes severe skull deformities may need cranioplasty surgery in the first year of life. A small percentage of these children will require a second cranioplasty.
Children with Crouzon syndrome may develop visual impairment due to the misalignment of the eyes and increased intracranial pressure.
• Our craniofacial team may recommend that your child regularly see an ophthalmologist to address these issues.
• If your child has very shallow orbits that result in partial eyelid closure and the risk of corneal irritation known as keratitis, early midface advancement may be necessary.
Children with Crouzon syndrome may require cranial surgery depending on their symptoms. This includes children with excess fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus), children with craniosynostosis and those with a Chiari malformation.
Your child's airway may be exceptionally small if your child has a small nose combined with poor midface growth. This combination can result in sleep apnea or snoring.
• To correct these problems, our craniofacial team may recommend a midface advancement or LeFort III osteotomy to create a larger airway.
• This entails surgery to move the middle portion of the face forward to align the upper and lower jaw, which enlarges the airway.
• Our team will determine the right timing of this surgery based on your child's symptoms, age and the severity of the jaw misalignment.
• This surgery may need to be repeated later in life if performed at an early age.
For children with severe sleep apnea, a procedure called adenoidectomy may be an option. This procedure involves removing the adenoids or lymphoid tissue in the back of the nose.

by Marilyn Kleinberg Neimark
In a world with a surfeit of bad news, two recent victories for freedom of expression are worth celebrating. Both were cases in which apologists for the occupation sought — unsuccessfully! — to stifle criticism of Israeli policies.
The first ruling, which came down last month from the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR), threw out claims that three University of California campuses — Berkeley, Irvine and Santa Cruz — violated TItle VI of the Civil Rights Act by fostering antisemitic climates by allowing protests against Israeli policies to take place. As part of the ongoing "lawfare" campaign to silence pro-Palestinian speech, some Jewish UC students contended that the political speech expressed in these demonstrations created a "hostile" atmosphere and amounted to illegal harassment and intimidation. But encountering views contrary to one's own, hardly constitutes harassment, the OCR concluded. As their letter closing the Berkeley complaint aptly stated, "In the university environment, exposure to such robust and discordant expressions, even when personally offensive and hurtful, is a circumstance a reasonable student in higher education may experience." That something so obvious would be contested through a series of formal complaints suggests that there is nothing "reasonable" about students cynically trying to silence political opponents.
Second, on September 8, a district court in Israel ruled that five left-wing activists who on Facebook described the right-wing group Im Tirtzu as a fascist movement were not guilty of libel. (The court did find that an implication in the posting that Im Tirtzu concurs with Nazi race theory, was slander.) No surprise that Im Tirtzu will appeal the ruling to the Israeli Supreme Court.
Muzzlewatch readers will recall that Im Tirtzu (meaning "if you will it," a fragment of Herzl's famous expression about the founding of Israel) has itself used classic antisemitic tropes against critics of Israeli government actions. (For example, a picture of an evil-looking Naomi Chazan, board president of the progressive NGO, the New Israel Fund, with a horn coming out of her head). We might not want to uncork the celebratory champagne until after the resolution of the appeal. But given than the judge in the first case criticized Im Tirtzu for bringing suit at all, we can definitely put it on ice.

Former NBA player Kenny Smith, now an analyst on TNT's "Inside the NBA," blasted fellow analyst Charles Barkley for his comments on events in Ferguson, Missouri, saying Barkley had no justification for offering his opinion.
Barkley had stated:
[Those expletives] who are looting, those aren't real black people, those are scumbags. Real black people, they're not out there looting…. I'm not saying who is right or wrong, I'm just hearing the true story that came out of the grand jury investigation…. Let me just say this. I think that we, we – I know I'm black, but I'm going to try to always be honest and fair – we have to be really careful with the cops. If it wasn't for the cops, we'd be living in the wild, wild west in out neighborhoods. We can't pick out certain incidents that don't go our way and act like the cops are all bad.
Smith, in an open letter to For The Win, belittled Barkley for having the temerity to offer his opinion. He wrote that "what I consistently find interesting is how writers and media members view your insights in politics, and now race relations, with the same reverence as your insights in sports. They did it in the Trayvon Martin trial and now with Mike Brown and the decision in Ferguson. It's not that you shouldn't ever have an opinion, but you are often quoted alongside the likes of Al Sharpton and even President Obama."
And why does Smith think Obama and Sharpton have the right to speak while Sir Charles should be silenced? "The body of work that our Black Civil Rights leaders put in by planning, executing and activating does not justify you being in the conversation."
Smith then referenced black history as an explanation for the behavior in Ferguson, writing, "The question must be asked: Why is there so much distrust in the police and the legal system from the African American community? Without manifesting what the effects of slavery still have today, Dec 1st still marks only 59 years since Rosa Parks sat on that memorable bus."
Barkley responded to Smith in person on TNT's Thursday night NBA broadcast by rejecting the injection of slavery into contemporary issues. "Maybe I shouldn't have used the term 'scumbags,' but it's irrelevant," Barkley maintained. "Still, there is no justification for what they did. If I'd have said crooks, thugs or whatever, still, what they did was 100 percent wrong."
