Okay, you've had your test. During the night your tech may or may not have used CPAP on you so based on this you think you have an idea that you may have sleep apnea which may need to be treated. However, this may not be true until after the doctors evaluate and interpret your test results.
Please DO NOT ask your technician any questions about your condition. He/She is not your doctor and is acting only under physician directed protocols. Until one of the sleep specialist physicians has evaluated your test it is impossible and illegal for Sleep Institute personnel to discuss your condition with you.
It normally takes between 1 and 2 weeks for your test to be rated, evaluated by our sleep specialist physicians and for the final report to be transcribed and sent to your doctor. You should call your doctor and make an appointment to discuss the results of your test with him about 2 weeks after the date of your test. In emergency cases, the physicians in the lab will call your doctor and give him a verbal or preliminary report. Your doctor should contact you directly in such cases.
If the doctor who sends you in prefers, you can be referred to and you are welcome to call and make a follow-up appointment with one of our sleep specialists, (Dr. Kilkenny or Dr. Ciccone), by calling 718-980- 5700 at their private office. They see patients both at their office, at 27 New Dorp Lane in Staten Island as well as at the Institute of Sleep Medicine at Staten Island University Hospital's south site, several days a week.
Please do not call the Sleep Institute looking for results immediately after your test as it is your doctors' responsibility to discuss these with you initially as well as to order any follow-up testing or treatment as indicated.

Investors may have pulled nearly $11 billion from hedge funds during the month of October. But dig just a tiny bit deeper into the numbers and you'll see investors are also being choosy. Namely, they're buying high performers and selling everybody else.
The top-performing one-tenth of the hedge-fund business over the last 12 months can boast a median gain of 23.5%, well ahead of the S&P 500 (SPY). Such funds have enjoyed inflows of $4.8 billion. That's according to the latest data on the subject from BarclayHedge and TrimTabs Investment Research. (It may not sound like much money, but keep in mind that a chunk of these hedge funds are small. A quarter of a billion dollars or half a billion dollars takes some effort to digest.)
Meanwhile, hedge funds that underperform are suffering. Investors have yanked more than $25 billion from the bottom 40% funds when ranked in terms of performance.

Team of the day: Oregon
Route to the Dance: Automatic bid (Pac-12)
NCAA TOURNAMENT: Updated bracket
RELATED: FGCU's miracle run
Credentials: 28-8 (12-6 Pac-12), conference tournament champs, beat No. 4 seed Saint Louis
Signature win: There's plenty to choose from. The Ducks beat Arizona at home, UNLV on the road an UCLA in a pair of encounters outside of Eugene.
But the 68-55 deconstruction of Oklahoma State in the round of 64 was an emphatic message at how blatantly under-seeded Oregon was.
This isn't hindsight declaring the committee made a poor decision slotting the Ducks as a No. 12 seed. It was rather clear Oregon belonged roughly around a No. 7 or No. 8 seed. Its profile looked a lot like Notre Dame's, and the Fighting Irish rightfully earned a No. 7 seed before making their customary early exit.
Team strength: Balance
No one averages 12 points a game for Oregon.
Six guys average eight points a game for the Ducks.
And therein lies a substantial advantage for Dana Altman's team.
Who is going to create headaches? It could be E.J. Singler. Perhaps it is Damyean Dotson. It might even be Carlos Emory, who is the only Duck to lead the team in scoring in three consecutive games (he did so in February's final three contests).
So yes, Louisville is good at defense. Really good. But at the very least, the Ducks can field a lineup with five plenty capable offensive players, and they'll at least have a chance to score against the Cardinals in the round of 16.
This team will remind you of: 2008 Villanova
The 2008 Wildcats had their share of guards (Scottie Reynolds, Corey Fisher, Corey Stokes, Dwayne Anderson and Malcolm Grant) and their share of turnover problems. But they pulled a 12/5 upset against a roster with no tournament experience (Clemson) and went on to lose to the eventual national champions in the round of 16 (Kansas).
The 2013 Ducks aren't quite as guard-oriented, but they sure do have trouble holding onto the ball (more on that in a bit). They pulled a 12/5 upset against a team coming off a two-year NCAA tournament hiatus (Oklahoma State) and now encounter one of the tournament favorites in the regional semifinals.
Team weakness: Turnovers
Oregon averages 15.1 turnovers a game. That's a lot — more, in fact, than all but one team that reached the NCAA tournament (Villanova).
Louisville forces 19.0 turnovers a game. That's a lot — more, in fact, than all but one team that reached the NCAA tournament (Virginia Commonwealth).
So, in short, Oregon has an obvious liability the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament (which happens to be its opponent) is equipped better than nearly anyone to exploit.
If things get ugly Friday in Indianapolis, there's already a pretty good explanation in the bank for why it happens.
Names to know: E.J. Singler (you might remember his brother Kyle from Duke's 2010 national championship team) averages a team-high 11.6 points, but don't forget about Arsalan Kazemi. One of many players who fled Rice after last season, Kazemi's rebounding translated quite nicely to the Pac-12 --- nicely enough to rank third in the conference at 9.9 rebounds per game.
Kazemi had 16 rebounds in the round of 64 defeat of Oklahoma State, and 17 more two days later against Saint Louis. He had 18 boards earlier this season against California (a tournament team) and 15 against Cincinnati (another tournament team). In short, he's a ferocious interior player, and one Louisville will have difficulty countering Friday.
Duck data: Since the tournament expanded to 16 teams in1953, Oregon is 4-5 in its first postseason game. In the three previous years the Ducks won a game in that span (1960, 2002 and 2007), they lost in the round of eight.

Five things: A wild coaching candidate appears!
Ryan Lambert
May 23 2012 08:11AM
1. This makes almost too much sense
On Friday, George Johnson floated a particularly interesting balloon regarding the Flames' vacant coaching position, positing that the team might be waiting so long to make any noise with regard to the opening because the guy they want is still participating in the playoffs. Rangers assistant coach Mike Sullivan might be the guy that gets the most serious look, apparently, and that is so logical and good an idea that I can't believe it took anyone this long to mention it.
Sullivan is, if nothing else, a very good and likely candidate because he's been around the league, and has obviously been quite successful in his role as the Blueshirts' go-to game-management guys. And his current boss in New York is, of course, a guy Jay Feaster is quite familiar with: John Tortorella.
If Feaster likes the way Torts coaches — and why wouldn't he, given the Stanley Cup and all — he could probably milk a similar system with Sullivan, and that's style of play that could probably be shaped to be at least a little successful given the Flames current roster mix of not-very-good vets and younger up-comers, backed by a stalwart netminder (though for how much longer?).
The knock on Sullivan is obviously that he got fired from his first and only NHL head coaching job, that with the Boston Bruins in the two seasons bookending the lockout. And, probably, justifiably so. After winning the Northeast and having the best record in the conference with 104 points, his Bruins crashed out in a 1-8 first-round matchup with the Habs, and he followed that performance with a 74-point campaign. Not the proudest record.
But that was, of course, seven years ago, and more importantly, the bad record that first year was pretty much the opposite of his fault. It was during that season, you'll recall, that Joe Thornton was traded after scoring 33 points in 23 games because he was a "disappointment" or whatever, and the team was, from that point, led by a 20-year-old Patrice Bergeron, Brad Boyes, and the ghost of Glen Murray. It was backstopped by a battery of a not-yet-worldbeating Tim Thomas, Andrew Raycroft, and Hannu Toivonen. No one could win with that team.
To wit: The next season, the Bruins added Zdeno Chara and Marc Savard, but new and not-yet-brilliant GM in Peter Chiarelli elected to hire Dave Lewis as coach, and he only managed 76 points.
Sullivan would almost certainly be a good fit behind the bench for the Flames, but mostly because he would be a good fit anywhere.
2. Yes, idiots still write into newspapers
Speaking of the Herald, I, as an American, was positively delighted to read this letter to the editor in it over the weekend.
It was simply entitled: "Flames should Hire a Canadian." Which is of course dumb. The stated reason for this dumb assertion by an idiot named Diane Parker, is to "protect one of [Canada's] greatest assets."
God I hate this crap.
As Parker, who, again, is a dumbo, points out, the Flames have Americans in positions of power throughout the organization, from GM to AHL coaches. And therefore, apparently to counterbalance that many stupid American morons who suck at their jobs (that's the tone at least), the team should engage in tokenism and hire a brilliant Canadian.
"Americans are not better qualified for these Flames positions. Do the Flames feel no obligation to employ qualified Canadians?" she wrote, probably in crayon.
The issue, of course, is that Americans are probably also not less-qualified for these Flames positions. And the Flames' only obligation to the club is to hire guys that work well within it. If that means hiring another American (both Troy Ward, who was extemely successful this year despite the crime and handicap of being not-Canadian, and Sullivan fit that bill), then so be it. If it means hiring a Slovak, then that's fine too.
Just a hunch here, but if everyone is American, maybe they feel better hiring Americans because they come from similar backgrounds and have a better working understanding of each other? No? Okay.
(Late addendum: A person on Twitter suggests that this might be the same Diane Parker who co-owns the Regina Pats. The Pats have no Americans on their roster and, perhaps consquently, weren't very good this season.)
3. Is anyone else sick of the Rangers' act?
And speaking of the Rangers, I really hope they lose to New Jersey. It has nothing to do with the whole Sullivan thing.
I'm just tired of seeing them start acting like crybabies when a game isn't going their way. They got pretty well tuned up by the Devils in Tuesday's Game 3, and that prompted Mike Rupp to take a run at one player, then swing at Marty Brodeur on his way to the box, which earned him a misconduct. Stupid, petulant crap I've come to expect from a team that sure does love to sulk when things go south.
Not that there weren't flops all around by the Devils, but I was deeply embarrassed to watch Tortorella get in a shouting match with Pete DeBoer over who-knows-or-indeed-cares-what. The guy's a brilliant coach, but everything he does that isn't directly related to making his team play awesome defensive systems is grating and tiresome.
4. What to make of Laurent Brossoit?
Gotta think this is something the Flames are loving. A 19-year-old goaltender (who won't even turn 20 until March of next season) backstopping his team to a Memorial Cup appearance after running up against the juggernaut Portland WinterHawks in the WHL championship series.
His stats in the Memorial Cup haven't been great, but that's because, by all accounts, his team hasn't been very good. Gotta think he gets another crack at 'er next season, and that's pretty great.
5. On the upcoming draft
Brossoit was also kind of the centerpiece of an interesting story on the Flames' official site about how Tod Button and the management staff evaluate players at the scouting combine. (Gotta say this for the Flames site: they do a lot more interesting content than most other NHL teams in-house.)
Apparently about 90 percent of their evaluations on draft-eligible players are done, and attending the Memorial Cup is almost a formality for the team as far as its decisions on kids go. Far more important is the combine, which fills in off-ice question marks and does a better job of testing fitness than a game might overall, and the information gleaned there was far more critical to the Flames' selecting him in the sixth round than anything they saw from him in the regular season.
"(Flames strength and conditioning coach Rich Hesketh) was helpful last year with Laurent Brossoit," Button told the official site. "He told us what an athlete he was. We liked him as an athlete, as a goalie and also his character, his compete effort. We thought in the sixth round, here's a kid with a tireless work ethic and he's really athletic. You get him with the right goalie coach, he has something to build his game around. There's value in stuff like that."
May 23 2012, 08:20AM
I would be very interested to know how teams generally judge stuff like work ethic and character. Is it gut feel or do they have metrics? I would also like to know how well things like fitness level and "raw athletic ability" generally correlate with future success in the NHL.
The issue is, you see good stories like this after the fact and things like "work ethic" get a big check mark because a 6th rounder has apparently worked out. Im guessing they don't get big red X's if you chose, say, Kris Chucko or Kris Hogg or Nick Larson for the same reasons though.
It's entirely possible NHL teams have systematic ways of breaking this down as they track a players development though. If so, I'd be curious to know how.
On other hand, they may look for the same thing in every kid and only make a mental note when things work out.
I'd assume that is why the Flames maybe took a risk with Gaudreau as well. But in the fourth round you might as well and look how it is panning out! Do you think the Flames need to go with Best Position Available strategy or should they be addressing their need of RW's?
agreed on the NYR whining non stop, but a team is a refelction of the coach! Tort's is a douche! Phoneix worried more about the officiating than the Kings....look where they are!? Kind of surprising out of Phoneix with a quality coach like Tippet, but his team also became a reflection of his whining. The Kings were far and away the better squad
May 23 2012, 09:14AM
Perhaps Darryl's simply a better coach than Tippett, when it counts?
That's how I see it...
As for Tortarella, here's hoping Marty Brodeur gets at least a chance to lift the Cup vs. the Kings...
Nice to see that the Oilers place far less value on the combine. I guess when you have the first pick you figure it's a slam dunk? Tambellini and Lowe are exactly what a Flames fan wants in an Oilers management staff! :)
FYI - It appears that the elder Granlund signed a deal with Minny for 2.75 over 3
@ Gange
How exactly have the Oilers placed less emphasis on the combine?
On another note, regarding Lambert's comments on Diane Parker's letter to the editor, while I agree with Lambert that merit should be rewarded over patriotic bias, isn't this the same team that chose to put not only national flags but also provincial markers on their sweaters?
I love reading your five things, Ryan. Keep them coming.

I love reading your five things, Ryan. Keep them coming.
Read Robin Brownlee's article yesterday (perhaps before that) which indicates that the Oilers used to take many people to the combine for evaluation but have instead gone with a greatly reduced contingent but with Tambellini and Lowe doing interviews.
"The Oilers used to send a horde of scouts to the NHL's combine, but they've cut down on the size of the contingent in recent years. Expect MacGregor, Brad Davis, director of research analysis Sean Draper, Tambellini and Lowe to attend this edition."
I read Brownlee's article, and that comment did stand out for me, but to extrapolate from that detail that the Oilers no longer place a priority on the combine is something of a leap.
Years ago when the Buffalo Sabres dropped their scouting staff numbers down and focused on video scouting many people scoffed and said that they were obviously reducing the importance of scouting and drafting.
In truth they were merely limiting the number of eyeballs that had to traipse about seeing all of these prospects and using video to help with a more detailed analytical scouting report.
I'm not going to argue that I think many Flames fans feel comforted that Kevin Lowe and Steve Tambellini are the ones orchestrating the rebuild in Edmonton. Just as many Oiler fans feel quite comfortable in the knowledge that if either of Iginla or Kiprusoff is traded, it will be Feaster drawing up the negotiations.
Alberta can boast many things right now, elite NHL management isn't at the top of that list.
@ Kent - I think the questions of character and work ethic become important when you have 2 or more prospects that can't be separated based on talent/skill levels.
At that stage it would be incredibly useful to know what their off-ice conditioning and nutritional habits are, as well as how they treat people and behave away from the rink.
Which may sound kind of weird in a way, but if you know that a slightly more talented kid treats fans with disdain, acts like an @$$, has substance abuse issues at 17 and is a lazy so-and-so, would you still take him over a slightly less talented player who trains like a crazy man, eats well, is polite to everyone he meets, etc.? Maybe an extreme example, but you get my point. I'm not sure if a team can ever have enough info when it comes to evaluating a player.
There are no stats for work ethic or character, but surely the stats that do exist are at least partially the result of these things, no?
May 23 2012, 01:23PM
Sure, but the issue is how well people can intuit those qualities and to what degree those things actually predict a person's behaviors at 17 versus 20, 25, etc.
There are plenty of studies out there that show how terrible things like open-ended interviews and initial impressions of people are at forecasting performance in a given job down the road.
In addition, there actually is such as thing as too much information. There is a psychological process called the dilution effect where irrelevant or marginally relevant data can actually interfere or weaken judgements.
I've discussed much of this stuff in the past:
As you say, in general fact finding about prospects is a good thing. The issue is to ensure you are gathering info that actually predicts future performance in a useful manner. Otherwise your filters may be misaligned.
@ Kent - agreed. You're right, you can hit the point of overload in general or start considering things that should be irrelevant.
I also agree with interviews - hate them. You can probably guess why. But I was thinking of a more 'stealth' approach to determining some of those things.
I support having a long look at Mike Sullivan as the bench boss for the Flames. And, of course, we have to wait until the Rangers are eliminated or the playoffs are finished.
I liked him as a player--an honest, hard worker and he brought his best to the rink night in and night out. And its understood that he brings similar characteristics to coaching. Hopefully he will be able to instill that in those wearing Flames livery.
More importantly, I hope that we keep Troy Ward either in Abbotsford working with an improving crop of talent in the system or as an assistant.
As an important part of the coaching question, what are the contractual situations with Craig Hartsburg and Garth Malarchuk? They are good people and meshing with the new guy will be important.

Remember if Saskue asks what is a village for, its a loaded question. Saskue is wondering why they would annihilate an entire clan because of a few differences. I believe the answer is power, uchihas had it in spades. Honestly it will make his argument seem substantial and not child like, which everyone is thinking.
You know, he is just whining about his sad life. Emos are out of style, Hipsters like Naruto are in. He is angry but doesn't know who to be angry at. That I believe is going to be Naruto's opening statement when they face each other again. If I were in Saskue's place, I would be angry too and I wouldn't know who to be angry at. Definitely not at the villagers because they have no clue what happened. Danzo is already dead, and he ordered the uchiha massacre. So were does he put all that rage?

|In response to Re: not enough hot water
: : Hi--
: : We have a brand new 50-gal gas hot water heater, and just spent $10K on a new shower and bathroom. We can't even get two hot showers in the morning--the water goes cold during the second shower and this is very frustrating! We have the water heater turned all the way to the hottest setting, which of course, isn't even safe. Before I spend another $1000 on another plumber to fail at fixing this problem, does anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance.

Best character in Naruto. Discuss that shit, yo.
Best character in Naruto. Discuss that shit, yo.
Yeah totally, Kishi isn't giving her enough spotlight -_-. What a waste of a good character.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Indeed! See, TenTen already knows the keys to true peace, and she has figured out exactly what needs to be done and who needs to be killed to erase the cycle of hatred and heal the wounds of the past. But she's trying to allow Naruto and the Shinobi Alliance to come to the right answer on their own, so they will learn something while they do. She's in the background panels just face-palming every time Naruto and Minato say something stupid/cheesy, and giving them a silent, approving nod every time one of them stumbles on a clue to her vast knowledge.
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
Missed this forum. Maybe I should make a comeback. Slowly. Drop a mixtape and see how that shit does first.
Her and Sakura could wreck this whole arc with a combo move, everything would be over and half the world would be blown up.
A pie in the sky?
I guess it's time to fully welcome back HB.
Besides, how many pieces do you think she'll cut Obito into for making her boyfriend fertilizer?
come fight my brute here

I love Christmas and figuring out how to decorate on the cheap. I live in a subtropical area, so snow and window frost never comes this way.
I had a new idea for making window frost I just wanted to share with you all because it is so simple and yet looks so real.
Take a fine mist sprayer of water (the finer the better) and lightly spray the edges of the window you'd like to frost (for simplicity and ease of cleaning later, I only do the bottom and a little up the sides of the frame).
It is best to aim the sprayer right at the frame as it leaves a more natural looking frost on the glass. Wipe the frame (not the glass, of course). Take baby powder (or any kind of white powder, maybe corn starch or flour would work but I never tried it). Put some in your hands ( teaspoon? tablespoon?) and blow little spurts of powder on the window where you have sprayed.
That's it. It looked so real, I couldn't believe it. Clean up is ten times easier than the store bought stuff. Just wipe it off.
Keep in mind, when the powder hits the water it dissolves, and some of it you won't be able to see till it dries (which will leave a sorta' translucent white). I blew powder over the general area and then blew a few thick bursts here and there that was visible to the eye. When it dries, you'd swear your window has just frosted over. (you'll need to wipe up the extra powder from around the edges of the frame and any that spills on the floor).
My wife thought it was a little messy, but after I wiped up, she surely enjoyed the results. The look is so real, I think I'll be doing it every year now. My kids even drew pictures and stuff in it-- which meant I had to explain to them that it was a decoration, and then do it all over again. It was so easy to wipe up an do again--unlike the store bought stuff.
Merry Christmas

NSF International Now Provides Dual Health Effects and Performance Certifications for Epoxy Coatings
CuraFlo's CuraPoxy LS Coating First to Earn NSF International Certification to American Society for Testing and Materials' Performance Standard (ASTM F2831) in addition to NSF/ANSI 61
ANN ARBOR, Mich. and MESA, Ariz. — NSF International, a global independent organization that writes public health standards, and tests and certifies products for the water, food, health science and consumer goods industries, now offers dual certification to ASTM 2831, the American Society for Testing and Materials' (ASTM) performance standard for epoxy coatings used to rehabilitate pressurized piping systems, as well as NSF/ANSI 61, the nationally recognized health effects standard for all devices, components and materials which contact drinking water. Pipe rehabilitation using a certified epoxy coating saves municipalities, building operators, plumbers and homeowners the cost, time and disruption associated with pipe replacement.
In addition to its NSF/ANSI 61 certification, CuraFlo's CuraPoxy LS Coating is the first epoxy coating NSF International has certified to ASTM 2831. Certification to both health effects and performance standards provides plumbers, contractors and municipal water treatment and distribution facilities with assurance that CuraFlo's CuraPoxy LS Coating can effectively coat, seal and rehabilitate pipes without compromising water quality.
NSF certification to ASTM F2831: Standard Practice for Internal Non Structural Epoxy Barrier Coating Material Used In Rehabilitation of Metallic Pressurized Piping Systems verifies that CuraFlo's CuraPoxy LS Coating meets the minimum durability (resistance to corrosion), strength, adhesion and immersion performance criteria for use in rehabilitating pressurized piping systems. NSF engineers tested CuraPoxy LS Coating to the manufacturer's instructions for coating thickness and curing time to confirm testing matches field use. Some of the key performance criteria set forth in the standard includes:
- A pull-off strength test to verify that the minimum pull-force without loss of coating adhesion on metallic surfaces is at least 2500 psi
- An immersion test to confirm there is no blistering, peeling or disbondment of the epoxy barrier coating
- An adhesion test to make sure the adhesion of the coating to the piping material is within specifications
CuraFlo's CuraPoxy LS Coating also earned certification to NSF/ANSI Standard 61: Drinking Water System Components -- Health Effects in 2012. To earn certification to NSF/ANSI 61, CuraFlo's CuraPoxy LS Coating was subjected to toxicological and chemical evaluation by NSF scientists under various conditions to verify the product did not leach harmful contaminants into drinking water. NSF auditors also inspected Curaflo's Mesa, Arizona manufacturing facility to verify product formulations, suppliers, and quality assurance/quality control records and that only authorized ingredients were used to manufacture the product. NSF will conduct annual unannounced facility audits and product re-testing to verify CuraFlo's continued compliance with the requirements of both the NSF and ASTM standards.
"Epoxy coatings are an important tool for maintaining our water distribution infrastructure as they provide an alternative that enables pipes to be rehabilitated instead of replaced. This offers an economical alternative to homeowners and municipal water treatment and distribution facilities," said Nasrin Kashefi, General Manager of NSF International Plastics and Mechanical Plumbing Certification Programs. "As the first to earn NSF certification to both performance and health effects standards, CuraFlo is providing municipalities, plumbers and contractors with a very valuable pipe rehabilitation product that meets the highest standards for performance, health and safety."
"CuraFlo has focused its efforts on providing real solutions to multi-tenant housing, schools, universities and other institutions that need to restore failing pipes instead of replacing them. Our research led us to the development of the CuraPoxy LS Coating and now that it has earned both ASTM F2831 and NSF/ANSI 61 certification, users can be confident in its safety for restoring pipes that reach temperatures as high as 180° F," said Brian LeMaire, President of CuraFlo.
For earning certification, CuraFlo is authorized to use the NSF mark on CuraPoxy LS Coating product packaging and marketing materials, a signal to buyers and regulators that the product has passed the highest standard for health and safety. This product also appears in NSF's online listings.
To learn more about CuraFlo's products and services, visit www.Curaflo.com or call 888-260-1733.

About NSF International: NSF International is an independent global organization that writes standards, and tests and certifies products for the food, water and consumer goods industries, to minimize adverse health effects and protect the environment (nsf.org). Founded in 1944, NSF is committed to protecting human health and safety worldwide.
NSF International's Water Programs require extensive product testing and unannounced audits of production facilities to verify that water treatment products meet the design, material and performance requirements. NSF International is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). NSF led the development of the American National Standards for all materials and products that treat or come in contact with drinking water. In 1990, the U.S. EPA replaced its own drinking water product advisory program with these NSF standards. Today, all major plumbing codes require certification to NSF standards for pipes and plumbing components in commercial and residential buildings.
Additional NSF International services include management systems certifications delivered through NSF International Strategic Registrations (NSF-ISR); food safety and quality programs through the NSF Food Safety Division; pharmaceutical, medical device and nutritional supplement auditing and certification through the NSF Health Sciences Division; sustainability services through NSF Sustainability; and NSF Education and Training programs.

The Reds' winless streak continued, when they were beaten 45-19 by the Western Force at the nib Stadium in Perth on Saturday.
The Reds' winless streak continued, when they were beaten 45-19 by the Western Force at the nib Stadium in Perth on Saturday.
The home side were full value for their win and it's largely down to the superb start which they made in this match.
Their forwards in particular deserve credit for the excellent platform which they set up for their backs.
The win is only the Western Force's second of the season and it's the first time that they have managed to score a bonus point for scoring four tries or more at their home ground.
The Reds looked totally out of sorts in the first half and seemed shell-shocked by the intensity with which the Force displayed during this period.
The champions' play was littered with handling errors and poor decision-making which the Force capitalised on and they raced into a 14-0 lead within 20 minutes.
This after an early try from James Stannard and impressive goal-kicking from David Harvey, who eventually contributed 20 points in the victory, via four penalties and four conversions.
The Force suffered a setback midway through the opening half when Stannard was forced off with an ankle injury but their fears soon subsided when Nathan Sharpe scored their second try in the 33rd minute.
The Reds tried to fightback and on the stroke of half-time they were rewarded when James Slipper crossed over for his first-ever try in the competition.
With that try and the Force's chief playmaker Stannard off, the Reds must have fancied their chances off launching a comeback in the second half but replacement fly-half Ben Seymour had other ideas.
Shortly after the break, Brett Sheehan charged down a woeful clearance kick from Dallan Murphy. The scrum-half regathered before offloading to Seymour who outpaced the cover defence before scoring.
The Reds struck back soon after that with a try by Van Humphries but the Force sealed the win and their bonus point try in the 70th minute when Seymour threaded a grubber kick past the on-rushing Reds defence which Samu Wara collected before dotting down.
The home side were not done though and still had time to score the best try of the match in the 74th minute when Matt Hodgson rounded off in the left-hand corner after Nic Cummins started a counter attack deep inside his 22.
Reds speedster Dom Shipperley scored a consolation try in the dying seconds of the match but this loss means that the champions have now lost three matches on the trot.
They have also conceded more than 100 points in two matches after losing 61-8 to the Bulls last weekend.
The scorers:
For Western Force:
Tries: Stannard, Sharpe, Seymour, Wara, Hodgson
Cons: Harvey 4
Pens: Harvey 4
For Reds:
Tries: Slipper, Humphries, Shipperley
Cons: Murphy 2
Western Force: 15 David Harvey, 14 Samu Wara, 13 Nick Cummins, 12 Winston Stanley, 11 Alfie Mafi, 10 James Stannard, 9 Brett Sheehan, 8 Matt Hodgson, 7 David Pocock, 6 Richard Brown, 5 Nathan Sharpe, 4 Toby Lynn, 3 Salesi Ma'afu, 2 Nathan Charles, 1 Pek Cowan.
Replacements: 16 Elvis Taione, 17 Kieran Longbottom, 18 Phoenix Battye, 19 Ben McCalman, 20 Ben Seymour, 21 Rory Sidey, 22 Kyle Godwin.
Reds: 15 Rod Davies, 14 Dom Shipperley, 13 Joel Rapana, 12 Ben Tapuai, 11 Luke Morahan, 10 Dallan Murphy, 9 Will Genia, 8 Jake Schatz, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Scott Higginbotham, 5 James Horwill (c), 4 Van Humphries, 3 James Slipper, 2 James Hanson, 1 Ben Daley.
Replacements: 16 Albert Anae, 17 Greg Holmes, 18 Rob Simmons, 19 Eddie Quirk, 20 Beau Robinson, 21 Nick Frisby, 22 Nathan Eyres-Brown.

Latest federal polls suggest a reversal of political fortunes, Laurier researchers find
May 22/13| For Immediate Release
Dr. Barry Kay
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO For the first time since 2009, an analysis of new polls projects the Liberal Party of Canada with enough support to displace the Conservative Party in power, according to The Laurier Institute for the Study of Public Opinion and Policy (LISPOP).
A LISPOP analysis of recent polls projects a seat distribution of 137 seats for Justin Trudeaus Liberals. Todays projection is based on an aggregation of polls conducted by Ekos, Ipsos Reid and Harris-Decima from April 18 to May 2, 2013, with a blended sample of about 4,000 individuals. The regional swing model also projects 120 seats for the Conservatives, 72 seats for the New Democratic Party, eight seats for the Bloc Québécois and one for the Greens.
While many point to the Liberals new leader as reason for the surge, LISPOP associate Barry Kay takes a more cautious approach.
At this point, we can only speculate on the causes of the apparent Liberal surge, said Kay, an associate professor of political science at Laurier. The polls suggest voters are shifting, and doing so in rather great numbers. According to our analysis of the poll numbers, even NDP Leader Tom Mulcair's seat in Outremont is highly vulnerable."
Most of the Liberal seat gains were in Ontario and Quebec, but the polls were held before the impact of the recent Senate scandal had occurred.
It is probable that unless Stephen Harper reverses the negative image of the current Senate spending controversy, support levels for the Conservatives will struggle to recover, said LISPOP Director Andrea Perrella. However, the general federal election will not take place until 2015, and two years is an enormous amount of time in politics. Lots can change, suggesting that the current apparent Liberal surge can die down.
It should be noted that the LISPOP seat projection model does not reflect the final boundaries that will exist in the 2015 federal election.

Canada to battle for seventh place at Pan Am CupCIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (July 19, 2012) – Canada ran out of gas in its consolation semfinal on Thursday night as it lost in four sets to Argentina at the Pan American Cup women's volleyball tournament.

Shanice Marcelle of Victoria (IN PHOTO) was Canada's top scorer with 15 points, Sarah Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., added 14 and her sister Rebecca Pavan 10.
For Canadian coach Arnd Ludwig he said: "we played better than yesterday (against Costa Rica) with fewer unforced errors, but with a lack of power."
