Buckwheat Sweet Crepes (Gluten-Free)
When we first went gluten free, I thought I would have to leave some things behind forever. One of my favorite family traditions is to make crepes with a variety of fun toppings for a special occasion breakfast or just a saturday morning. But it seemed impossible to recreate that thin, silky, slightly crisp texture of a crepe in a gluten free form...until I discovered buckwheat.
Buckwheat can have a slightly sour and robust flavor on its own, and so is typically in savory crepes that you might fill with chicken salad, cheesy asparagus and more.
But I wanted to recreate a sweet breakfast crepe, and I'm pleased to say after a lot of experimentation, this recipe definitely does the trick! Cooking with the batter to produce the ideal crepe texture does take a little experimentation and finesse, but I've provided explanation below to help guide you on the way. The keys will be getting the batter the right thinness and the pan the right heat. Once you get that balance you should be able to reliably crank out fantastic crepes!
Just in time for Valentine's Day, here are three of our favorite flavor combos to get you started: 1) Spread with lemon preserve, top with fresh sliced strawberries and sprinkle with powdered sugar. 2) Fill with a medley of fresh fruits and whipped cream, drizzle with honey. 3) Spread with nutella, top with fresh sliced bananas.
1 cup milk (may sub up to 1/4 c for kefir)
1/4 cup water
2 eggs
2/3 cup buckwheat flour
1/3 cup all-purpose Gluten-free flour
dash of salt
3 tablespoons melted butter
2.5 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
Melted butter for the pan (approx 2 tablespoons)
Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes, up to an hour. May save for up to 48 hours in the fridge. You want the batter considerably thinner than pancake batter. Consider the first few crepes tester crepes until you figure out the right thickness to work with your pan technique to produce the kind of crepes you want. Even the mistakes that rip or are too thick are delicious to eat!
Because they lack gluten, they are more prone to breaking when trying to flip. But if you cook them thinly there is no need to flip, you can cook on one side and they will cook through.
Heat pan on high, then gradually reduce to medium-high. Dip a paper towel into the melted butter and spread some on your pan. Pour a slight half-ladle (approx 1/4 cup) into a small non-stick pan. Holding the pre-heated pan up off the heat, gradually rotate the pan in a gentle circle so the excess batter slowly moves around the pan settling into a well-distributed circle. When no more excess moves as you tilt, place the pan back on the heat.
You'll know the crepe is done when it loses its glossy sheen on top, and the edges brown. Slip a silicone spatula around the edges to loosen (you will also be able to peek for doneness that way). Then invert the pan over a plate to remove (tip: you'll want to invert at a slight angle so it slips off, rather than holding the pan perfectly upside down).
Using your paper towel, spread a little more butter and pour your next crepe. Repeat steps above.
Tip: For a lacier looking crepe, use slightly less batter. That will allow air to bubble through to the top and a slight crisp to form. If you cannot achieve this texture (and you want it) even with using a very small amount of batter, you may need to thin out your batter slightly with a tablespoon of extra water.
Tip: As the pan continues to warm up while you are making crepes, the edges will start to brown more and more in advance of losing the sheen, which is how you will know it is time to turn the heat down a bit more, edging toward medium-high.

If you happen to be a fan of Syndicate developer Starbreeze's work and can't wait to get in on what they are doing next, we've got some exciting news, as the studio has confirmed that their next project, dubbed Cold Mercury, will not only be AAA, but also free-to-play.
Some of you may recall that late last year, word got out that the developer was working on a PSN title alongside the first-person shooter, and we haven't heard about it since. Could this free-to-play game somehow be related?
Both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace have been criticized in the past for being resistant toward accommodating the rapidly evolving marketing schemes found in the PC gaming world, but perhaps this is a sign that platform holders are getting with the times.
Regardless, here's what the studio's CEO Mikel Nermark had to say about the upcoming game and the future of the development team after news broke that the studio had downsized:
Starbreeze will not leave the AAA segment.
We are discussing with several leading game publisher on publisher financed games, but we will broaden our product portfolio of games in the new business models and segments that have arisen in the games industry. I am convinced that Starbreeze will be successful with the new games.
To stay informed on what Starbreeze is doing next, be sure to stay tuned to PlayStation LifeStyle.

About the Practice
Practice Philosophy
Dr. Emily Pollard has built a highly successful medical practice from skill, integrity, compassion, and her commitment to the tenets of a healthcare philosophy that puts the best interests of her patients first:
- Treat every patient as an individual - Any surgical procedure undertaken must address a patient's specific needs in the most effective, and safest manner possible.
- Treat the whole patient - The goal of plastic surgery should be to improve the whole person, not simply to create a more attractive body part. Deciding which surgical approach to take - or whether surgery is even the best choice - requires a careful consideration of physical, social, psychological, and emotional factors.
- The success of any procedure is about the patient, not the procedure - Best results require matching procedures and surgical approaches to individual patients. Patient satisfaction is always a condition of success.
Dr. Pollard has special expertise, experience, and sensitivity in managing the reconstructive and cosmetic surgery issues associated with all ethnic groups.

Merry A. Benedict died on October 28, 2012 in Encino, California. Most of us know her as television actress Merry Anders. She was 80.
Born Mary Anderson in Chicago on May 22, 1934, she wanted to be an actress from early childhood. By the late 1940s, she and her mother Helen had made their way to California, where Mary soon began taking acting and modeling lessons. While attending John Burroughs Junior High School in Los Angeles, she caught the eye of Rita LeRoy, owner of a small junior modeling agency, who convinced Helen to sign up her photogenic daughter for modeling lessons. She quickly became a top junior model, and replaced LeRoy's current top model, Tippi Hedren, who left for New York to do television modeling. The secretary of famed 20th Century-Fox talent scout Ivan Kahn spotted her in a Ben Bard production of Little Women and was impressed enough to invite her to meet Kahn, who, in turn, signed her to a seven-year contract.
Although Anders was under contract to 20th Century-Fox, her film career did not exactly flourish at the studio. During this time, she took several small roles in Fox films, but Fox dropped her contract in 1954. She had more luck on television, where she was featured in two television series: 'The Stu Erwin Show' (1954-1955) and 'How to Marry a Millionaire' (1957-1959). Interestingly, Anders had a small role in the film version of How to Marry a Millionaire while under contract at Fox. In 1955, Anders married casting director/producer John G. Stephens; the marriage lasted just a few months, but in the middle of the divorce, Anders learned that she was pregnant. Her daughter Tina Beth Paige Anders was born in 1956.
Without a studio contract, Anders began freelancing at other studios. She used this newfound freedom to her advantage, chalking up an amazing eight film releases in 1957 alone. Also, she began making numerous guest appearances on popular TV programs, including Cheyenne, Bronco, Perry Mason, and The Addams Family.
She was signed by Jack Webb to be a semi-regular on the hit show "Dragnet," where Webb insists on her changing from her usual platinum blonde to a less coiffured brunette. Webb starts showing up with her at the many civic engagements she routinely volunteers for in her Mission Hills neighborhood, much to the delight of surprised fans.
In 1968 her phone suddenly stopped ringing with offers as the television industry goes through a cultural change in the late Sixties. Desperate for work, she takes the job of a "glorified extra" in the movie Airport, while her name does not appear in the credits. She then took a job as a receptionist at Litton Industries, who allows her to take time off if she gets an acting assignment.
She does her last work in front of a camera with a guest shot on a two-part episode of "Gunsmoke." Co-starring with her is newcomer Ellen Burstyn and old friend Jeremy Slate. She also makes her swan song movie appearance in Legacy of Blood, a film that is filled with other fine Fifties performers who have fallen into neglect by the early Seventies.
In 1986 after remaining single for thirty-one years following her divorce from her first husband, producer John Stephens, she marries a Litton engineer named Richard Benedict. Ironically, she is introduced to Benedict by her former husband.
She retired from her job as a receptionist at Litton Industries in 1994. In her spare time she enjoyed doing calligraphy and making pin money on the side by doing small announcements and cards for people. Although she's become a very private person after her acting career, she's recognized from time to time, even being chastised by a total stranger once for being so mean as "Auntie Alice" on the short-lived daytime soap "Never Too Young."
As Merry A. Benedict, she resided in Encino, California until her death.

Bell Hooks was born Gloria Watkins on September 25, 1952. She grew up in a small Southern community that gave her a sense of belonging as well as a sense of racial separation. She has degrees from Stanford University, the University of Wisconsin, and the University of California at Santa Cruz. She has served as a noted activist and social critic and has taught at numerous colleges. Hooks uses her great-grandmother's name to write under as a tribute to her ancestors. Hooks writes daring and controversial works that explore African-American female identities. In works such as Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism and Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black, she points out how… More feminism works for and against black women. Oppressed since slavery, black women must overcome the dual odds of race and gender discrimination to come to terms with equality and self-worth. Less

The other six Newtown schools will reopen for instruction on Jan. 2. Sandy Hook faculty will report that day to their new location at Chalk Hill School in Monroe to meet and reorganize, followed by an afternoon open house at which teachers, students and parents can reunite.
Chalk Hill has been made over to replicate Sandy Hook Elementary as it was before the shooting of Dec. 14, when 20 students and six educators at the school were killed, including Principal Dawn Hochsprung.
The shooter, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, also killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, at her home, and killed himself inside the school.
"In one room I visited (at Chalk Hill School), the children's pens and pencils are on the desks, their coats behind their chairs,'' said board member John Vouros, a retired Newtown teacher. "It's as if time stood still.''
Schools Superintendent Janet Robinson announced last week that based on teachers' requests, she opted for a soft opening at Chalk Hill on the first day after the holiday break, with instruction to resume on Jan. 3.
More InformationAt Chalk Hill School Sandy Hook Elementary School faculty will report to Chalk Hill School in Monroe on Jan. 2, but students will attend just for an afternoon open house between 1 and 3 p.m. School will resume for instruction on Jan. 3. For questions, contact the Newtown school district at 203-426-7620 or visit www.newtown.k12.ct.us.
Robinson agreed that teachers need time alone to reassemble as a staff. They will be lead by former Principal Donna Page on a temporary basis. The teachers also wanted time to greet and assure children and parents that they are safe as school begins anew.
On Wednesday, Robinson said some Sandy Hook families have already walked through Chalk Hill School, and that has provided some "comfort'' that the school will be ready for instruction and be safe. Extra security will be on duty, Robinson said.
The timing of the shooting, just before the holiday break, left teachers without time to do much more than attend funerals for their students and staff, Robinson said.
"It's been overwhelming,'' she said. "They need a chance to be together and organize themselves.''
Once staff and students are back to their routine academic schedule, Robinson said, the healing can truly begin.
"Children are amazingly resilient, more than we are as adults,'' she said.
Robinson said she said she is proud of all the "heroes'' in her district who did that horrid Friday what they pledge to do every day -- take care of their students.
"The talk of heroism, this is not mythology,'' Robinson said. "They were doing what teachers would do to protect their children.''
In time, Robinson said, she hopes the school will erect a mural or a quilt of some kind as a memorial.
As for Sandy Hook Elementary School's future, Robinson said she expects a community conversation on that topic to begin shortly.
"That will be a town decision,'' she said.

Grove Fire Arson Arrest
Grove Fire Release #4
PULLMAN – Pullman Police have arrested a suspect believed to have intentionally set fire to the Grove Apartments. On July 22, 2013 at about 4:05 p.m., Pullman Police Department detectives arrested Bryan Lee Kitchen, a 31-year-old Pullman resident, in connection with the Grove Apartment fire on July 14. Kitchen had accompanied detectives to the Pullman Police Department for an interview and subsequently made admissions that led investigators to believe he was involved in setting the fire. Kitchen worked for a plumbing sub-contractor at the construction site, but no motive was provided for the arson. Kitchen had been a person of interest since the morning of the fire when his unoccupied vehicle was seen near the fire scene by a Pullman police officer around the time the fire was believed to have been started. Detectives contacted Kitchen periodically during the course of the scene investigation. After the fire was determined to be arson, detectives asked Kitchen to accompany them to the police station on July 22 for further questioning.
Kitchen was booked at Pullman PD on a charge of Arson in the First Degree, and Class 'A' felony, and will be transported to the Whitman County Jail. After conferring with the Whitman County Prosecuting Attorney and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Spokane, the U.S. Attorney's office will be reviewing the case for possible federal prosecution.
The Pullman Fire Department was called to the site of the Grove Apartments at 1560 NE Brandi Way just after 3:00 a.m. on Sunday, July 14, on a report of a structure fire. Whitman County Rural Fire District #12 and the Colfax and Moscow City and Rural Fire Departments also provided assistance. Four structures under construction with an estimated completed value of close to $13 million were destroyed. Investigators from the Pullman Fire Department conducted a fire investigation at the scene to determine cause, and were assisted by investigators from the Pullman Police Department, Washington State University Police Department, and the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The Spokane Valley Fire Department assisted with the use of an arson dog and the Spokane County Sheriff's Department assisted with mapping the scene. The investigation at the scene led to a conclusion that the fire was intentionally set.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – In a game that went right down to the wire, the Georgia College men's basketball team (7-10, 3-7 PBC) edged the top team in the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) in Young Harris College (13-4, 8-2 PBC) 67-65 Sunday at the Centennial Center.
YHC had its chances. A three-point basket by Malcom Jackson, the second leading scorer in the PBC, with 32 seconds left brought it to a one-possession game with Georgia College up 67-65. After a Bobcat turnover, the Mountain Lions led another fast break, and off a miss, a simple put-back would have tied the game.
Junior guard Royal Thomas (LaGrange, Ga.) skied to swat the wide-open, potentially game-tying layup, then scrambled for the rebound with nine seconds left. After another Young Harris foul resulted in a missed free-throw for the Bobcats, YHC's last-ditch three for the win went offline thanks to solid pressure from Thomas once again as time expired.
Senior Scott Ferguson (Roswell, Ga.) led all scorers with 19 points to go with 12 rebounds, the forward's fourth double-double this season. Classmate Nate Hamilton (Snellville, Ga.) had 12 points, including three long-range bombs.
Freshman forward Robert Armstrong (Norcross, Ga.) had the best game of his young career, tallying 10 points and nine rebounds for a near double-double of his own, both career highs. Point guard Aaron Robinson (Lawrenceville, Ga.) added 10 points and a career-best seven assists, without committing a single turnover.
The Bobcats out-shot the Mountain Lions 44 percent (27-62) to 33 percent (20-61), but YHC made two more three-pointers (6-4) and 10 more free-throws (19-9) to keep the game close.
Georgia College dominated the bench points 22-5 and held a 38-18 lead in points in the paint. The Mountain Lions never led as Georgia College controlled the pace to snap a six-game slide.
Tony Raymond led Young Harris with 18 points, including 8-for-11 from the line. Frank Adams chipped in 16 points, while Jackson had a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double. Vince Martin rounded out the double-digit scorers with 11.
The Bobcats are back in action Thursday, Jan. 31 at 7:30 p.m., traveling to Clayton State University for more PBC Divisional action.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Wholesale fraud slips under radar as cyber gangs target UK bank accounts
Romanian gangsters are at the forefront of a cyber-crime wave in which fraudsters are making millions of pounds without fear of being caught.
Banking and law enforcement sources admit that a "no man's land" has emerged around card fraud which allows gangs to commit mass low-value frauds that usually go unreported, will never be investigated and are not even recorded as a crime.
These sources told The Times that they lack sufficient intelligence information, expertise and resources to deal with the rapid growth in bank card fraud and internet scams. Police have identified 1,300 crime gangs in 25 countries dedicated to committing fraud, a quarter of which specialise in cyber-frauds targeted against Britain.
They are most heavily concentrated in Eastern Europe with some of the…

BALTIMORE – UMBC women's soccer returns to action, after having a bye on Sunday, on Thursday, Oct. 17 when the squad travels to Stony Brook. The Retrievers enter the week in a three-way tie with Hartford and Stony Brook for second place in the America East standings. Game time is set for 7 p.m. at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium, with live video available on the America East Digital Network.
The Retrievers (8-4-2, 3-1-0 AE) have won six of their last eight games, including three straight with last Thursday's 2-1 victory against Vermont. Junior midfielder Paige Preston (Freehold, N.J./Freehold) notched her first collegiate goal to start the Retrievers off, while red-shirt junior Jessy Brown (Plantation, Fla./American Heritage) tallied her league-leading fourth game-winning goal of the season in the victory.
UMBC's 18 scores matches its highest goal total since 2006, with Brown and sophomore forward Alexa Quaranta (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) each having registered a team-best four goals on the season and Brown's nine points leading the squad. Sophomore back Amira Walcott (Beltsville, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt) has chipped in three goals and two assists for eight points and fellow defender Melissa Hummel (Downingtown, Pa./Downingtown East) ranks second in the league in assists with four.
The Seawolves (8-4-1, 3-1-0 AE) have won three of their first four contests in America East play, with its only loss coming in overtime to Hartford last Thursday. Stony Brook, the defending league champion, leads the conference in shots (223), goals (26) and points (81). Senior forward Larissa Nysch's eight scores on the season puts her atop of the league in goals and points (18).
SBU has five players with multiple goals on the year. Sophomore back Stella Norman sits behind Nysch with 10 points (three goals and four assists), while red-shirt junior forward Queli Ornelas and sophomore back Emily Murrer have each chipped in three goals. Red-shirt junior goalkeeper Ashley Castanio has seen action in all 13 games and is allowing 1.14 goals per game.
All-Time Series
-UMBC trails the all-time series, 4-9-1. The Retrievers snapped a six game losing streak to the Seawolves with last season's 1-1 double overtime draw.
-The Retrievers have won just once on the road against Stony Brook, a 3-0 victory on Oct. 2, 2005.

Demonstrably Arbitrary and Unfair Evaluation of Student Work
Students have a right to expect fair and consistent issuance of course grades. The grading policy employed in each class, including the comparative weight of each component used to determine the final grade, is outlined in each course syllabus. It is the student's responsibility to read and comply with the grading policy outlined in that syllabus.
In general, any student who has any form of grievance with a faculty member or administrator follows this process:
- Take the grievance to the person involved. Accordingly, students who have questions about grades on projects, tests or final grades for the semester are encouraged to meet with their instructor and review the grades.
- In the case of a final grade only, if the student still does not understand the basis for the grade or believes that the composition of the semester grade conflicts with the grading policy stated in the syllabus, the student may request an additional meeting with the instructor and the applicable Division Chair (If the applicable Division Chair is the instructor in question, the concern should be directed to the Associate Dean). This meeting must be requested within two weeks of receipt of the final grade, and must take place within 30 days of the beginning of the next semester.
- At this meeting, the student will be asked to provide evidence to substantiate the claim that the grade was either arbitrary or unfair. The role of the applicable Division Chairperson is to facilitate communication and clarify understandings.
- If the dispute is regarding the accuracy of a grade assignment, and in the opinion of the Division Chair, evidence substantiates the claim that the grade is either arbitrary or unfair, the Division Chair will determine a resolution.
- A further appeal based on merit may be made to the Associate Dean for final determination.

Sleep apnea means that
your breathing often is blocked or partly
blocked during sleep. The problem can be mild to severe, based on
how often your lungs don't get enough air. This may happen from 5 to
more than 50 times an hour.
This topic focuses on obstructive sleep apnea, which is the most common
A less common type of apnea, called central sleep apnea,
can occur in people who have had a stroke, have heart failure, or have a brain
tumor or infection. Even though this topic isn't about central sleep apnea,
some of the treatments discussed here may also help treat it. Talk with your
doctor to find out more about central sleep apnea.
Blocked or
narrowed airways in your nose, mouth, or throat can cause sleep apnea. Your
airway can become blocked when your throat muscles and tongue relax during
Sleep apnea can also occur if you have large
tonsils or adenoids or a large
uvula. During the day, when you are awake and standing
up, these may not cause problems. But when you lie down at night, they can
press down on your airway, narrowing it and causing sleep apnea. Sleep apnea
can also occur if you have a problem with your jawbone.

Sleep apnea is more likely to occur if you are
overweight, use certain medicines or alcohol before bed, or sleep on your
The main symptoms of sleep apnea that you may
notice are:
Your bed partner may notice that while you sleep:
Children who have sleep apnea:
But children may not seem very sleepy during the day (a key
symptom in adults). The only symptom of sleep apnea in some children may be
that they do not grow as quickly as most children their age.
If you have
sleep apnea, you may not be sleeping as well as you could. And you may be more
likely to end up with serious problems such as:
Your doctor will probably examine you and ask about your past health. He
or she may also ask you or your sleep partner about your snoring and sleep
behavior and how tired you feel during the day.
Your doctor may
suggest a
sleep study. A sleep study usually takes place at a
sleep center, where you will spend the night. Sleep studies find out how often
you stop breathing or have too little air flowing into your lungs during sleep.
They also find out how much oxygen you have in your blood during sleep. You may
have blood tests and X-rays.
You may be able to treat mild sleep apnea by
making changes in how you live and the way you sleep. For example:
If lifestyle changes don't help sleep apnea, you
may be able to use an oral breathing device or other types of devices. These devices help keep your
airway open while you sleep.
Sleep apnea is often treated with a machine that helps you breathe
while you sleep. This treatment is called
continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP (say
"SEE-pap"). Sometimes medicine that helps you stay awake during the day may be
used along with CPAP. If your tonsils, adenoids, uvula, or
other tissues are blocking your airway, your doctor may suggest surgery to open
your airway.

Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Obstructive sleep apnea usually occurs when the throat
muscles and tongue relax during sleep and partially or completely block the
airway. When you stop breathing or have reduced flow of air into your lungs
during sleep, the amount of oxygen in your blood decreases briefly.
Obstructive sleep apnea can also occur if you have bone deformities or
enlarged tissues in your nose, mouth, or throat. For
example, you may have enlarged
tonsils. During the day when you are awake and
standing up, this may not cause problems. But when you lie down at night, the
tonsils can press down on your airway, narrowing it and causing sleep
In children, the main cause of sleep apnea is large
tonsils or adenoids.
Other things that may
contribute to sleep apnea include:
With sleep apnea, there are symptoms that you may notice and symptoms that others may notice when you're asleep.
Children who have sleep apnea nearly always snore. But
they may not appear to be excessively sleepy during the day (a key symptom in
In rare cases,
sleep apnea in children can cause
developmental delays and can cause failure
of the right side of the heart (cor pulmonale).
Other conditions with symptoms similar to sleep apnea
include other sleep disorders and an underactive thyroid.
sleep apnea causes your airway to
narrow or close off, reducing or stopping breathing for short
periods during sleep.
If your breathing stops,
you may make grunting, gasping, or snorting sounds and restless body movements.
As breathing resumes, loud
snoring starts. This may happen many times during a
The more often it happens, the more severe your sleep apnea is. Sleep apnea is called either mild, moderate, or severe.
When you stop breathing, the oxygen levels in your blood go
down and
carbon dioxide levels go up. This makes your heart and
blood vessels work harder and can affect your heart rate and
nervous system. That in turn may:
sleep apnea disturbs your sleep, it can make you very tired during the day. So if
you have sleep apnea, you may:
Certain things make it more
or less likely that you will have obstructive
sleep apnea. Some of these you cannot change,
while others you can.
Call your doctor if:
Watchful waiting is a wait-and-see approach. If
you get better on your own, you will not need treatment. If you get worse, you
and your doctor will decide what to do next. Watchful waiting may be right for
you if you snore but are not
excessively sleepy during the day.
Watchful waiting may not be right if you notice that your sleep
partner snores loudly and heavily, is restless during sleep, and is sleepy
during the day. If you think your sleep partner may have periods when
breathing stops, suggest that he or she talk with a doctor.
Health professionals who can check people who have
symptoms of obstructive
sleep apnea include:
Other health professionals may be able to help
you if you have other problems that are caused by sleep apnea. If you:
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
Your doctor will
examine you and ask you and possibly your sleep
partner some questions about your lifestyle, snoring, sleep behavior, and how tired
you feel during the day (this is called a
medical history).
Your doctor may ask you to complete
a questionnaire, such as the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. The answers to questions
in this questionnaire can help the doctor find out if you have sleep apnea. If
your doctor thinks that you may have sleep apnea, he or she may suggest sleep studies
or other tests.
Other tests that you may have include:
Most doctors follow these guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics:4
To see how well your treatment is working, you may need sleep tests after treatment begins.
If your sleep apnea has not improved after initial
treatment, and if
enlarged tissues in your mouth and throat are causing
it, your doctor may do one or more tests before suggesting surgery to remove
the excess tissue. These tests may include:
Treatment for obstructive sleep apnea may include:
Your doctor will probably have you try lifestyle changes and CPAP first. Surgery might
be a first choice only if the sleep apnea is caused by a blockage that is
easily fixed.
You may need to be treated for other health problems
before you are treated for sleep apnea. For example:
If your
sleep apnea gets worse, talk to your doctor:
Children have the same treatment options as adults. But
surgery (removing tonsils or adenoids) typically is the
first choice, because enlarged tonsils or adenoids cause most cases of sleep
apnea in children. If surgery isn't possible
or doesn't work, children are treated using CPAP.
You can help prevent obstructive
sleep apnea if you:
Home treatment for obstructive
sleep apnea includes lifestyle changes and changing some sleeping habits.
Some people use nasal
strips, which widen the nostrils and improve airflow. Although these strips may
decrease snoring, they cannot treat sleep apnea.
Doctors typically don't suggest using medicines to treat obstructive
sleep apnea.
But medicine can help reduce
daytime sleepiness when
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is reducing
the number of times you stop breathing at night but you still feel sleepy during the day.8, 9
People with sleep apnea who take
these medicines to reduce daytime sleepiness should keep using CPAP to treat sleep
Surgery for obstructive
sleep apnea usually isn't done unless other
treatments have failed or you are unable or choose not to use other
If you are thinking about
having surgery to treat sleep apnea, talk with your doctor about having a
sleep study done first.
Experts typically suggest
that you try
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) before
considering surgery.
Laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty uses a laser to
perform surgery. It is sometimes used to treat mild to moderate sleep apnea,
although not all people benefit. This surgery is not recommended by the American
Academy of Sleep Medicine to treat sleep apnea.11, 12
CPAP is nearly always the first medical treatment for sleep
apnea. With CPAP, you use a breathing device that
prevents your airways from closing during sleep.
Research shows that:
It may
take time for you to be comfortable using CPAP. You may find that you want
to take off the mask, or you may find it hard to sleep. If
you can't get used to CPAP, talk to your doctor. You might be able to try another
type of mask or make other adjustments.
CPAP devices automatically adjust air pressure or use different air pressures
when you breathe in or out. They are easier and more comfortable for some
people to use.
If you use CPAP to treat sleep apnea, you need to use it every night. If you don't use it, your symptoms will return right away.
If CPAP isn't working, you may need
sleep study to find out whether your CPAP machine
needs to be adjusted. You may also need to think about surgery.
Oral breathing devices reposition your tongue
and jaw during sleep, which opens up your airways. They may be used for people who have mild to moderate sleep apnea. They may also be used for people with severe sleep apnea who try CPAP but find out that it does not work for them.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved nasal disks for treating sleep apnea and snoring. The disks attach to the outside of your nose. One disk is attached over each nostril. A valve positioned over the nostril makes it harder to breathe out, which causes a little back-pressure in the airways. This back-pressure may help keep the airways open during sleep.

Urbanization is increasing at a rapid pace. Between 2005 and 2030, the world's urban population is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.78 per cent, almost twice the growth rate of the world's total population. The proportion of people living in rural areas will shrink significantly after 2015. While increasing urbanization has led to greater per capita incomes and productivity, at the same time, it has led to increasing informal sector, greater urban poverty, increasing number of slums, scarcity of housing, spiraling urban real estate prices, and inadequate infrastructure facilities. Given this phenomenon of economic concentration in one area and spatial disparities elsewhere, the key issue is "should rural labor move to jobs or should jobs move to rural areas?" Finance and labor do not automatically move towards poorer areas. Available evidence from across the world suggests that policy makers should strive to remove impediments to capital and labor flows and reinforce agglomeration economies. This can be done by policy makers encouraging labor movement by abolishing national minimum wages, cutting unemployment benefits and social benefits, and abolishing rent control to increase supply of housing. Similarly, improving business climate, increasing access to finance, including microfinance and availability of credit to small enterprises, and developing infrastructure services before firms move in, are likely to affect the decisions of firms in location of their productive activities. Strengthening the capacity of provincial and local governments in provision of essential services would be key to reduce economic concentration and spatial disparities.
Meeting the Millennium Development Goals means addressing these development issues in cities. Urban planning is now not a luxury, but a necessity. The Commission of Growth and Development succinctly summarizes the urbanization process by noting that "If history is any guide, large-scale migration to the cities is part and parcel of the transformation economies must go through if they are to grow quickly…..Ultimately a successful city will need urban planning, building codes, and robust property rights. It will need drainage, sewerage, rapid transit, and a sophisticated financial system capable of mobilizing the funds for these. But accumulating this infrastructure, expertise, and sophistication takes time. Governments should avail themselves of whatever shortcuts they can find, including the experience and expertise of other cities that have gone through this turmoil before them".

Next week we will start "Corruption, Growth and Poverty".

Welcome to the Association for Academic Language and Learning (AALL) website. Our aim is to provide a forum for professional development, networking, and information for the association which represents academic language and learning educators working in higher and further education institutions.
The members of AALL play a valuable role in their institutions by providing teaching both inside and outside curricula to assist students in developing appropriate academic skills; by collaborating with other academic staff in the development of curricula so that they provide better learning opportunities for students' development of academic skills; and by contributing to the development of policy in relation to academic language and learning. This role is an important one in today's higher and further education institutions, given the increasing pressures to maintain excellence in teaching and learning with diminishing resources and given that there is good evidence that ALL educators are indeed able to impact on students' development of skills, and overall success and retention.
In existence since 2005, AALL is committed to promoting and providing academic language and learning development through policies, practices and research that build, enhance and extend teaching and learning opportunities for all students and staff in all higher and further education settings.

Over the years, Speech Pathology Group: Children's Services International (SPG: CSI) and the government of Bosnia-Herzegovina have combined their efforts to establish and implement a ground-breaking program, The Bosnia Autism Project. Our mission has been to "teach the teachers" and provide sustainable aid to children with communication impairments. Lisa Cameron has recently extended the SPG: CSI efforts to the Himalayan country of Bhutan, and Marci VonBroembsen remains active in South Africa. SPG: CSI is truly expanding and going international!
From 2009-2012, SPG: CSI sent specialized teams of professional volunteers to provide evidence-based assessment and treatment education to professionals, university students and parents in Bosnia- Herzegovina. This past summer, SPG:CSI worked with a four-year old who was hidden in his house because his family was ashamed of his disability. We met a 12-year-old who had never been to school and whose parents would lock him in his empty "bedroom" (merely a concrete room and a bucket) because he was nonverbal and had become so aggressive that they did not know how to control his behaviors.
Because of the tireless efforts from professionals in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and SPG: CSI's dedication, together we have achieved amazing results! We are ecstatic to tell you that in October 2012 both our four-year old and the 12-year old started attending school and are doing well. For the first time students with autism and other disabilities are receiving treatment, a home-based intervention program has been established, parents are being educated, and the numbers of treatment centers continue to grow. But our mission is far from complete.
We are now in phase three of the Bosnia Autism Project, which is providing advanced training to the community leaders and medical and educational specialists. In an effort to maximize our efforts, we have invited seven key professionals and medical specialists to train with us in California for three weeks in the summer of 2013. These trail-blazing pioneers will receive advanced training in communication assessment and treatment strategies for children of all ages and stages, and go back to Bosnia to train other professional peers, leading them through a professional transformation.
For those of you who have wanted to participate with the non-profit but were unsure how, we invite you to get involved. Now is the time—and you don't have to make the trek overseas!
- Visit our website and learn more about the Bosnia Autism Project. Any and all help is welcomed, without long-term commitments. Contact us at email@example.com or email@example.com if you have any questions or want to get involved.
- Friend us on facebook at to follow the most up to date information, see pics and follow the progress of our Bosnian colleagues.
- Join us at California Speech Hearing Association Convention for a 90-minute informational seminar (Thursday, March 8th) and Happy Hour at the Hyatt Long Beach on Friday March 9th. Check out our website for more information.
Larisa Petersen, MS, CCC-SLP is in her third year as a Speech-Language Pathologist. Currently, she works for The Speech Language Pathology Group in Walnut Creek, California. She provides speech-language services to students in Kindergarten through sixth grade. She updates the blog for The Bosnia Autism Project and you can visit her at http://spgcsi.wordpress.com.

This week, they share their favourite Halloween makeup looks, products and last-minute costume ideas. Check back each week for more reviews from the HuffPost Canada Style Contributors.
deniskomarov via Getty ImagesCaroline, Style On The Side: "While I have a lot of hair, it's actually quite fine. This means that with the wrong cut, it looks flat and lifeless. It has taken me a long time to figure this out, but now that I have, I'm able to have a more productive conversation with my stylist." Caroline shares her tips for making fine hair look fuller, here.
Draw A Dot.Marcus, Draw A Dot.: "I came across Elaine Kim's profile recently and immediately fell in love with her illustrations! This illustration is based on an outfit from the Prada S/S 2017 runway show. I am a fan of Elaine's illustration style, because it reminds me of the retro illustrations." Check out more fashion illustrations on Draw A Dot.
Canadian BeautyHenna, Canadian Beauty: "I've been skipping the blush for the last little while, simply because I got tired of what I had. But then this beautiful and well-made palette from NYX came my way and inspired me." Read Henna's full review, here.
Allure Of SimplicityAney, Allure Of Simplicity: "Although I despise the cold weather, fall does have its perks, including being able to layer and wear my favourite coats. I wore this new navy jumpsuit from Zara, but cuffed the bottoms to help elongate my legs. I then threw my softest Zara knit coat over my shoulders." Find more style inspiration from Aney, here.
Kaitlyn Elisabeth BeautyKaitlyn, Kaitlyn Elisabeth Beauty: "Now that fall has been around for a little while, I'm more tempted to start playing around with darker hues for my makeup. While I typically reach for plums and berries when the cooler weather sets in, Mary Kay's new fall line up actually focuses on dark golds, browns and blues." Kaitlyn reviews the collection, here.
STMStephen-Thomas, STM: "In Canada, you can spend all your time choosing the right outfit just for it to go to waste buried under a coat. Well, these three make up for the loss of outfit, and have the power to turn heads and reel in a few compliments all on their own." Check out more of Stephen's top picks from FashionCAN, here.
The Grey CanvasSafinaaz, The Grey Canvas: "As I am getting ready for fall, I'm excited to add one extra step to my skin routine to help achieve that glow.

HerCastleGirlsCarcia & Telly, HerCastleGirls: Tell us a bit about your fall wardrobe. What do you enjoy wearing once it gets chilly? Braedon Basseo: "I've been loving silk jackets with the embroidery on the back. I'm obsessed with jackets, so I have enough now to just wear all black underneath and switch up the jacket style every day." Read the full interview, here.

TireBalls - Great Balls Of Tire
Can You Throw Away Your Spare?
By now most wheelers know the value of a beadlock rim for their 4x4. Physically clamping the bead of the tire to the wheel enables you to run lower air pressure without the tire coming off the rim. Lower air pressure, in turn, increases traction and a smoother ride off-road. This all goes out the window though once the tire is punctured. That is where TireBalls come in.
TireBalls are air-filled cells positioned inside the tire and act like a runflat or an inner tube, but they have advantages over either. By using 20 urethane cells per wheel, the TireBalls continue to work even if some of the cells are punctured. And unlike a runflat, they can be tuned for specific pressures and ride characteristics.
All of these attributes are useful when you don't have time to stop and change a tire, like when you are racing—or someone is shooting at you. This is why TireBalls are so popular at King of the Hammers and in military applications.
But what if you are a recreational wheeler who runs big tires and doesn't have the room for a spare? How much ground clearance is lost when the tire loses air? And how many TireBalls can go flat before you cannot drive on them anymore? Check out the captions to find the answers to all of the questions and more as we put TireBalls to the test on the Rubicon Trail.
