Year in Review
December 17, 2018
From the recap: "As we look forward to 2019, we will continue fighting for the future of those with narcolepsy."
Takeaway: The Narcolepsy Network has expanded their reach to multimedia efforts to educate about their particular interests. They also have launched recordings from their recent meeting. If you admire their efforts and want to help them, you can reach their volunteer coordinators for ways to contribute at https://narcolepsynetwork.org/get-involved/volunteer/.

New EEG Insights Offer Window into Hypersomnia Differential Diagnosis
December 12, 2018
From the article: "When providers come across patients who show signs of excessive sleepiness and frequent daytime sleep attacks, diagnostic tests like polysomnogram (PSG) and multiple sleep latency tests (MSLTs) help screen for idiopathic hypersomnia and narcolepsy. But as numerous studies and narcolepsy patient accounts have shown, even MSLTs can show invalid results that can create missed opportunities for proper diagnosis."
Takeaway: I spend a lot of time in sleep health forums where patients complain frequently about not trusting their hypersomnia diagnoses (especially when they are given an IH diagnosis, which somehow seems "less than" what they expect after going through an NPSG-MSLT bundle). This article confirms their inclination toward a second study when results are inconclusive or seem to be inaccurate.
The (Still) Elusive Definition of Hypopnea
December 15, 2018
From the commentary: "The paper by Won et al.10 in this issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine provides a useful perspective on the issue of hypopnea definition by including outcome data based on the two different scoring criteria. "
Takeaway: Here's a New Year's resolution sleep techs will get behind: Dear sleep scoring policymakers: make up your minds about hypopnea scoring!
Addressing Sleep Disorders After Traumatic Brain Injury
December 13, 2018
From the article: "A special issue of NeuroRehabilitation focuses on the interplay of sleep and TBI, with the aim of improving both diagnosis and treatment of these problems. …This thematic issue covers the effects of TBI on patterns of sleep function; the approach to the evaluation and diagnosis of sleep disorders; how sleep disorders affect various aspects of physiological, emotional, and, cognitive functioning; and the pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment of sleep disturbances following TBI. …Introducing the issue, guest editor David Ripley, MD, MS, of Northwestern University, says in a release, 'Our system of care typically does not do the best job of recognizing sleep as a problem after serious illness and injury. Hospitals, especially intensive care settings, are frequently poor at allowing patients adequate, restful sleep due to the presence of equipment, the need for frequent monitoring, the facility design, and the disruption of nursing interventions.'"
Takeaway: Discussions about sports-related concussions and the continued problem of brain trauma among vets has led to this thorough dialog about the role of sleep in TBI, even after treatment. This is a problem that will not go away until all medical specialties recognize the unique connection sleep has to brain function following traumatic injury.
Clinical Use of a Home Sleep Apnea Test: An Updated American Academy of Sleep Medicine Position Statement
December 15, 2018
From the position paper: "[Criteria #6]: The raw data from the HSAT device must be reviewed and interpreted by a physician who is either board-certified in sleep medicine or overseen by a board-certified sleep medicine physician."
Takeaway: Not news for most sleep techs, but this position paper affirms the AASM's support for policies adopted by the American Medical Association about a year ago and drives home the necessity that these tests require oversight from boarded sleep doctors, in case other medical professionals step up with the belief they can review and interpret without sleep credentials.
How Bad Is It to Take an Antihistamine to Sleep Every Night?
December 13, 2018
From the article: "'The big problem with this kind of medication is that it lasts a fairly long time in your system,' [Stanford Sleep Medicine Center sleep specialist] Dr. [Rafael] Pelayo says. The lingering effect of a standard adult dose (25 to 50 milligrams, i.e., one to two pills or liquid doses) will likely not be incredibly strong, [Mt. Sinai director of Sleep Medicine Research] Dr. [David] Rapoport says, but it may be enough to make you feel sleepy or foggy-headed the next morning. Other side effects are mild and can include dry mouth, nose, and throat; dizziness, constipation; headache; and nausea, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). …You can also build up a tolerance to DPH fairly quickly. '[Antihistamines] tend to stop working,' Dr. Rapoport says. 'The body adapts to them.'"
Takeaway: Probably a lot of sleep techs will call me a buzzkill for including this information, but you really need to know what you're getting yourself into every morning you pop some diphenhydramine (DPH) before going to bed.
What Is Health Literacy and Why Do I Need It?
December 14, 2018
From the article: "Anyone can leave a doctor's office feeling overloaded with information given too quickly to take it all in with perfect recall, [Lindsay Mayberry, assistant professor in general medicine and public health at Vanderbilt University Medical Center] notes. 'If you can go home and fill those gaps—if you know how to seek the right information; if you know how to get in touch with your doctor's office to ask those questions, or if you know reliable sources that you can go to to understand questions you might have about your health—that all indicates health literacy,' she says. It's about being able to use and access information. …On the other hand, Mayberry says, 'If you leave your doctor's visit and you're confused and you don't really know where to go with that—you feel an inability to make sense of it—that can indicate some deficits in health literacy.'"
Takeaway: Everyone can stand to become more health literate, even sleep health professionals.
Physicians, Patients Vow to Overturn Ruling Striking Down ACA
December 15, 2018
From the article: "Almost as soon as a Texas judge ruled yesterday that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is unconstitutional, proponents of the law—including physicians' organizations, which had filed briefs in support—vowed to appeal the decision. 'Today's decision is an unfortunate step backward for our health system that is contrary to overwhelming public sentiment to preserve pre-existing condition protections and other policies that have extended health insurance coverage to millions of Americans,' said Barbara L. McAneny, MD, president of the American Medical Association (AMA), in a statement sent to Medscape Medical News."
Takeaway: While not specific to sleep medicine, this shift in national policy has impacts for millions of people with pre-existing conditions which include many, if not most, sleep disorders.

Are marketing videos efficient? Yes if the message is crafted correctly.
Do they attract visitors and convert them into sales? Yes, but the sales may not be recognized instantly.
My opinion is that a well crafted video can deliver for a business.
It doesn't have to be high dollar production with special effects but it does have to be engaging and informative. There is a major shift with the clients that I am working with to use as much video as possible for everything from product demonstration to branding to cross selling on their websites. Clients are requesting this because they are maturing in their view of what a website is and does for thier business.
YouTube has proven that it doesn't have to over the top, just engaging.
Re: Are marketing videos efficient on internetNatOnline Sep 7, 2008 10:12 PM (in response to Iwrite)I am not looking for something fancy, I just want to try.
I've got a project with a photo montage video, and perhaps it will be another way to market natural-elements-online.com
It can be very cool with a nice music and colorful slideshow.
Re: Are marketing videos efficient on internetIwrite Sep 7, 2008 11:10 PM (in response to NatOnline)The most important part is going to be the message. Make sure it is interesting and covers the points you want to cover. I would explore the transitions that your video editing program has and take full advantage of them. Don't make all of them the same.
I think you should try it. It can be both cool and effective. Maybe offer a special phone number or promotion code so that you can gauge the response rate. I agree that it should be simple at first.
Good luck.
Re: Are marketing videos efficient on internetNatOnline Sep 9, 2008 4:38 PM (in response to Iwrite)Well it is pretty difficult to put a message, because the pictures talk by itself.
A slideshow video may just invite the visitors to our site, the reel message is there not on the video. I would like visitors to be curious, so the message is just "come visit us", nothing else.
Re: Are marketing videos efficient on internetIwrite Sep 9, 2008 4:50 PM (in response to NatOnline)I am not disagreeing with you. The message can be conveyed through words or images, the point is to
have a message to convey. I never said
it had to be written, I said it had to be present. Non verbal communications works to set the tone and feel for a business.
It sounds like you have something you believe will work and I applaud you for being brave enough to do something more than the basics.
Re: Are marketing videos efficient on internetNatOnline Sep 10, 2008 1:38 PM (in response to Iwrite)Thanks Iwrite for your kind comments.
All I can say is that we must find new ways to promote our company. There are some fantastic tools now for internet, and networks supporting them. I guess the principal is keep going to communicate, promote and decide people who never bought these products to buy from us.
That's one of our challenge, and hope it will pay off. We've got two fantastic vendors supporting us and providing the best products they can offer us.
We also have the privilege to buy from one of them a few products not available for other stores, and get access to their lab research team, which can show you how open minded they are.
Well I will let people know how we did with this video on internet.
Have a fantastic day Iwrite.
Re: Are marketing videos efficient on internetIwrite Sep 10, 2008 2:39 PM (in response to NatOnline)No problem. If you need any help, feel free to reach out to me. Or just have a question or concern. Here's one of my emails: firstname.lastname@example.com
FYI, remember there's no rule that says you can't barter for help. I know for a fact that some creatives and directors will be more than willing to help sometimes if they are allowed to be more creative. I have had jobs produced for little or nothing this way. Creatives are looking to build their books and if you can get a better quality work by letting them be more creative, who loses? I still give away ideas myself. You wouldn't believe the ideas I have for a lot of the members here. I keep my family and friends laughing with the concepts I come up with for folks. Wait until you see the invitation I am helping DomainDiva with. It is nice.
Getting plugged into the local advertising community can sometimes be a real benefit.
I really hope this works for you.
Re: Are marketing videos efficient on internetVince Sep 10, 2008 4:51 PM (in response to Iwrite)Iwrite,
Do you have a barter relationship with DomainDiva? Either way, it's great your helping a fellow member. I wish there were more posts like this.
Re: Are marketing videos efficient on internetIwrite Sep 10, 2008 5:53 PM (in response to Vince)Not really a barter but a BOA Small Business Forum Discount! LOL
She and I met and talked about small business, and I offered her some suggestions for things they can do for her new product launch. She is fortunate enough to have a very qualified marketing person on staff. All I did was help point them in the right direction. And during our talk, we realized there's a very nice invitation idea that will cost her little to no money except printing and mailing that she can do. I am attending her company meeting this weekend here in Dallas.
I would be happy to barter but we were never able to figure out how to make it work here. Lighthouse pointed out correctly that my services, like his, are geared towards larger companies. So, both of us and some others provide information here that would cost a nice amount if you were to contact us away from here. We are not the only ones, there has been some advice on here that was worth thousands of dollars but I don't think people realize what they are getting.
Thanks for the compliment. I still need to write my article. Shhh.
Re: Are marketing videos efficient on internetLUCKIEST Sep 10, 2008 6:05 PM (in response to Vince)marketing videos
Vince, you talk about barter relationships (like DD & Iwrite)
How can we (like you and me) have the same relationship if there is NO
way to contact you. Like email, phone number??
Re: Are marketing videos efficient on internetNatOnline Sep 12, 2008 3:19 AM (in response to Iwrite)Hi Iwrite,
Here what I did, It is not super duper and hope it would be not to bad for my first commercial
Please let me know what you think good or bad, so next time it would be better.
Re: Are marketing videos efficient on internetintechspecial Nov 26, 2008 12:02 AM (in response to NatOnline)If your videos are well planned out and done extremely well, then yes they are more then just an effective way of doing business on the internet.
With the billions of visitors their are on the internet every day on social networking sites, why not use video as a marketing method?
Re: Are marketing videos efficient on internetmidilizard Mar 13, 2009 3:24 PM (in response to NatOnline)I'm definitely a big believer in using video to promote what you have ~ as long as what you have is good!

Re: Are marketing videos efficient on internetChristy09 Mar 13, 2009 3:32 PM (in response to NatOnline)If you are doing video marketing, there is one place to go.. Tubemogul.com. Its a video distribution site wherein you upload your videos on tubemogul and simply distribute it to well known video sites such as youtube, myspace videos, yahoo, google and etc. One good thing is tubemogul also has a online reports that tracks your videos.
Re: Are marketing videos efficient on internetinterspirepro Mar 16, 2009 1:21 PM (in response to Christy09)Videos can be highly effective. They can easily allow your visitors to be engaged and exposed to your message longer. A good idea is to do some split testing on your various landing pages with video content - you may be pleasantly surprised.

CSA and KFC to celebrate coaches at national seminar
Over 120 KFC Mini-Cricket volunteer coaches and coordinators will be making their way to the annual national seminar to be held in KwaZulu-Natal from 3rd to 6th of July 2018.
JOHANNESBURG - Cricket South Africa (CSA) and KFC will be celebrating the country's largest development programme, KFC Mini-Cricket, this week.
Over 120 KFC Mini-Cricket volunteer coaches and coordinators will be making their way to the annual national seminar to be held in KwaZulu-Natal from 3rd to 6th of July 2018.
The annual seminar aims to not only empower and educate coaches but also to honour their contribution in their respective communities. This is intended to continue to support, guide and entrench cricket development.
CSA Acting CEO, Thabang Moroe, shares his thoughts: "CSA highly values the investment made in coaches and appreciates the strides made by KFC to not only assist in cricket development but for giving kids great memories and friendships as well as keeping kids active. We hope that the new season will continue to enhance and maintain cricket advancement in communities in South Africa."
Since its inception, the programme has seen 2.5 million kids participating in the KFC Mini-Cricket programme and continues to be a driving force for strong national teams. To date, over 120,000 boys and girls have played KFC Mini-Cricket throughout the year in over 6,400 schools and been coached by almost 12,000 volunteer coaches.
This year will be another distinct seminar as CSA and KFC celebrate eight years of a notable partnership.
Thabisa Mkhwanazi, KFC Public Affairs director, said: "With the help of our valued partners, Cricket South Africa, the coaches and coordinators, the programme will continue to uplift communities and thrive. Each year we look forward to this event as it allows us to see how far we've come with cricket development in South Africa. We are also excited to plan for the 2018/19 season that will see many lives being changed."
The KFC Mini-Cricket programme is the largest national grassroots development programme in South Africa and offers kids critical building blocks for learning cricketing basics and entrenching a love for the game.
The programme allows volunteer coaches at schools to offer a cricket sporting programme, even with basic fields and facilities. This is to make sure that kids are playing the game their way while getting active and learning – critical sporting lessons of the cricketing game.
CSA will host the annual National Seminar in KwaZulu-Natal and will have several guest speakers such as former Proteas captain Graeme Smith and internationally acclaimed motivational speaker and author, Gavin Sharples.

Primordial rock ingredients — blare, stomp, screech and leer — have all been AC/DC hallmarks for more than four decades. The band, from Australia, has built and maintained its arena-scale following by stubbornly defying any temptation to evolve, and a substitute lead singer who has his own multimillion-selling band — Axl Rose from Guns N' Roses — wasn't about to change that. Mr. Rose is one of very few vocalists whose range encompasses the saw-toothed shrillness of AC/DC's singer since 1980, Brian Johnson, who left the tour with hearing problems. Even with the switch, the AC/DC that performed on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden was still the institution that the band's fans cherish.
From the 1970s till its current tour, AC/DC has been dedicated to what one of its songs calls "rock and roll thunder": midtempo, blues-rooted songs defined by Angus Young's power-chord riffs and by high, throat-tearing vocals. Its lyrics are full of rowdy lust, working-class pugnacity, rocker pride and invocations of hell that mostly make it sound like a convivial place to end up: "My friends are gonna be there too," Mr. Rose wailed in one of AC/DC's anthems, "Highway to Hell." Behind the band, video screens often lit up with hellfire flames, while the audience in the darkened arena was full of the blinking red lights of souvenir AC/DC devil horns.
Unlike most rock bands, AC/DC centers its stage show not on its lead singer but on its lead guitarist, founder and guiding songwriter: Mr. Young, now 61. At Madison Square Garden, as always, he was dressed in a schoolboy uniform: red jacket and shorts, slouch cap, long necktie, white shirt, white socks, sensible shoes. He spent the two-and-a-half-hour show bounding and scampering and duckwalking all over the stage and on a runway into the audience, as he delivered riffs he has played thousands of times. (He threaded his tie between the strings for a noisy solo in "Sin City.")
Only Mr. Young remains from AC/DC's founding lineup. Stevie Young, on rhythm guitar, replaced his uncle, Malcolm Young, Angus's brother, in 2014, while Cliff Williams took over on bass in 1977. Chris Slade, who pounded the drums in a niche between two tall banks of Marshall amplifiers, has taken turns in and out of the band since the 1980s; he has now replaced Phil Rudd, who was fired last year after pleading guilty to drug charges and death threats. No matter: As long as AC/DC endures, its music is more an archetype than the individual statement of any musician but Angus Young. There's variety in the songs, and obvious influences from Chuck Berry to the Who, but it's Mr. Young's brusque, relentless, nose-to-the-grindstone propulsion that defines AC/DC.
Mr. Rose looked content to be AC/DC's instrument. He didn't try to personalize the songs; he stayed in the screech register, barely ever dipping down to the baritone snarl he uses so often in Guns N' Roses. He belted hard through a strenuous set, although his voice couldn't match the lecherous glee of Mr. Johnson in songs like "You Shook Me All Night Long." Mr. Rose cut down on the compulsive outfit changes he brings to Guns N' Roses, although a few black T-shirts and leather jackets came and went. Striding around the stage, he covered a lot of ground but barely used Mr. Young's runway. Mr. Rose and Mr. Young have perfected the skill of walking rapidly backward without a glance, no small feat on an arena stage.
Lest anyone mistake that AC/DC is synonymous with Mr. Young's staying power, he took over the stage during a marathon "Let There Be Rock," a song that places rock's origin in 1955, which also happens to be the year Mr. Young was born. It was well into the homestretch of the concert, but Mr. Young just kept going nonstop for 15 minutes. He played blues riffs and zigzag lead lines and nagging trills and manic tremolo crescendos, racing around and under and up and down the whole stage set to end up on an elevator platform in a shower of confetti. It was a show of stamina and of sheer, cantankerous rock 'n' roll persistence.

2008 J Cifre, J.D.
This week has been very good for John Sidney McCain III. He has been going up in the polls in both Georgia and Massachusetts, and has had the Obama campaign earnestly (albeit foolishly) attacking his military record. This has given McCain a great opportunity to highlight his past service without appearing presumptuous or politically motivated. Every time an Obama surrogate claims that McCain is not fit to be president because he was tortured by the VietCong, or that being held captive for 5 years in isolation is not reflective of his character, they only reinforce these stories in McCains resume and simultaneously highlight the lack of service on their candidates resume. What has Obama EVER done that in any way entails a sacrifice for this Nation and its citizens?
At issue here is the subject of personal sacrifice in the face of difficult odds. What is being questioned by Obamas surrogates is the CONCEPT of personal sacrifice for the sake of others and the value of SERVICE for our fellow man. All of this basically points to the fact that it is quite difficult to remember any recent politician who can honestly proclaim to have lived through (and have willfully accepted) the PERSONAL pain and suffering that John McCain endured for this Country. McCains military record and bonafide status as a war hero is UNIMPEACHABLE and UNQUESTIONABLE, a fact that almost every Democrat has been all too willing to admit. So why is Obama PURPOSELY attacking McCains war record anyway?
It is quite obvious that the Obama campaign clearly understand that their candidates character, even without putting it in contrast with anyone else, is quite faulty and leaves MUCH to be desired. And, when pitted against a war hero in the likes of John S. McCain, his puny record seems almost disrespectful to the office he seeks. They all understand that if Obama is to survive this election, it is then crucial to diminish and put into question McCains record and war hero status. This explains why the Obama camp has had multiple surrogates engage in this strategy for the last couple of days. Lets look at a few of Obamas own surrogates, and read how they have started to frame John McCains service:

While Barack Obama was urging supporters not to devalue the military service of rival John McCain, an informal Obama adviser argued Monday that the former POWs isolation during the Vietnam War has hobbled the Arizona senators capacity as a war-time leader. (Teddy Davis and Molly Hunter, Dem Guru: McCain Limited By POW Years, ABC News Political Radar Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 6/30/08)
Beers: Sadly, Sen. McCain was not available during those times, and I say that with all due respect to him. I think that the notion that the members of the Senate who were in the ground forces or who were ashore in Vietnam have a very different view of Vietnam and the cost that you described than John McCain does because he was in isolation essentially for many of those years and did not experience the turmoil here or the challenges that were involved for those of us who served in Vietnam during the Vietnam war. (Teddy Davis and Molly Hunter, Dem Guru: McCain Limited By POW Years, ABC News Political Radar Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 6/30/08)
Beers: So I think to some extent his national security experience in that regard is sadly limited and I think it is reflected in some of the ways that he thinks about how U.S. forces might be committed to conflicts around the world. (Teddy Davis and Molly Hunter, Dem Guru: McCain Limited By POW Years, ABC News Political Radar Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 6/30/08)

** CAPAF, which is the political arm of a liberal think tank headed by former Clinton White House chief of staff John Podesta, has been taking the lead for Democrats on dissecting McCains policy proposals. CAPAFs Monday series of four policy panels on the economy, health care, foreign policy, and energy was dubbed McCain University.

Gen. Clark: But he hasnt held executive responsibility. That large squadron in the Navy that he commanded? It wasnt a wartime squadron. He hasnt been there and ordered the bombs to fall. He hasnt seen what its like when diplomats come in and say, I dont know whether were going to be able to get this point through or not, do you want to take the risk, what about your reputation, how do we handle this publicly? He hasnt made those points Bob. (CBS Face The Nation, 6/29/08)
CBS Bob Schieffer: Well, General, could I just interrupt you. I have to say, Barack Obama has not had any of those experiences either nor has he ridden in a fighter plane and gotten shot down. Gen. Clark: Well, I dont think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be President. (CBS Face The Nation, 6/29/08)
Sen. Rockefeller: McCain was a fighter pilot, who dropped laser-guided missiles from 35,000 feet. He was long gone when they hit. What happened when they [the missiles] get to the ground? He doesnt know. You have to care about the lives of people. McCain never gets into those issues. (Paul J. Nyden, Jay Defends Endorsement Of Sen. Obama, The Charleston Gazette, 4/8/08)
Republican presidential candidate John McCains family background as the son and grandson of admirals has given him a worldview shaped by the military, and he has a hard time thinking beyond that, Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Ia., said Friday. I think hes trapped in that, Harkin said in a conference call with Iowa reporters. Everything is looked at from his life experiences, from always having been in the military, and I think that can be pretty dangerous.

As you can see, the Obama campaign has been recently testing the waters to see if this subject is damaging or out of bounds for the American public, before engaging in it too deeply towards November. This allows their camp to respond rapidly if there is outrage or maintain the pressure if people dont care. Up until now, many people have thankfully responded negatively, which explains why he felt the need to reject Clarks statements in his recent patriotism speech.
What is ironic about this whole dynamic is that the reason people are not responding to his attacks in the same way that many Americans did when Republicans attacked Kerry on similar grounds, is because Obama HAS NEVER even served a day in the military, nor has he ever been NEAR combat (Harvard is a pretty relaxing place!). This fact alone (his lack of service) makes him look like a pompous and arrogant politician when he is all too willing to attack a man like John McCain, who was tortured for the simple crime of being an American soldier.
For the sake of fairness, lets make these Liberal talking points easier to understand for the American people and clearly digest them for those of you who may still be confused. Their argument is, that a man who decides to serve his Nation by joining the military, who was then shot down, captured, and tortured physically and psychologically because of his refusal to go home and leave his fellow soldiers behind, is now being branded as someone who does not cross the Liberal threshold to become Commander in Chief. Instead, we are told, being of the correct historic ethnicity, serving a few years in the Senate, and openly befriending terrorists and racist, is the perfect qualification to lead the free world and solve our biggest problems.
But the sleaze and fear of the Liberal wing of the Democratic Party does not end at alluding to McCains war hero liability. There have been rumors around the internet that the Democrats are even planing their own swift boating campaign against McCain, on the particular issue of being supposedly broken by the VietCong under torture (I have already seen their very silly and cheap production videos). Apparently, these potential 527s think that by highlighting the idea that McCain MIGHT have given the VietCong any information during their 5 year torture marathon of him, it somehow proves that McCain is in fact less of a hero than most people think. This sort of childish and immature mentality clearly explains why Liberals have always been mocked for their lack of Military understanding and cowardly perspectives. Would George Soros, or any of these other arm-chair Socialists, ever survive a day of VietCong treatment without spilling their guts about their own family members and personal associates? The stupidity of these strategies are somewhat mind-boggling but nonetheless repulsive.
But, even if this LIE about John McCain were true and widely disseminated (i.e. that he caved in after prolonged torture), it does not diminish his service at all and will instead end up highlighting it. For most Americans, the idea of giving in a few times in 5 years, after getting your arms pulled out of socket hundreds of times, getting burned with cigarettes on your genitals on a daily basis, and getting constantly drowned in buckets of soiled water, is quite understandable (to say the least!).
It is for these, and many other indirect reasons, that these Obama blunders have thus been very helpful to McCain, since he has been able to simply point out the ludicrousness of these surrogates statements, while remaining above the fray. After all, these are DEMOCRATS insulting REPUBLICANS on the issue of Military service and patriotism!
Of course, this is not to say that Republicans have a monopoly on these issues, they clearly do not, but it is well known that the Democratic Party has historically shot themselves on the foot on these particular core American values. This year, they are already reinforcing these cliches by nominating a man like Barack Hussein Obama, who will clearly keep said perspective attached to the Democratic Party for many years to come, and who has less character in his entire body than Mr. McCains middle finger.
All of this nonsense reminds me of an expression that my grandmother used to say about similar circumstances (and I am translating): It is like watching ducks shooting at the rifles!

The Obama campaign hasn't been attacking McCain's service record, they have simply been saying that being a POW and a former fighter pilot do not qualify you to be Commander-in-Chief. They don't, if they did, George McGovern (one hell of a fighter pilot during WWII) would have been President in 72.
As for McCain moving up in the polls in Georgia and Massachusetts, I would like to see some numbers on that. Last I saw Obama was way ahead in Massachucetts (traditional Democratic country) and in Georgia (traditional Republican country), McCain was only up by one point.
One thing is clear: the McCain people are so desperate they will seize on anything at all and try to shape it into an "attack" on his military record.

Apparently, the only things that McCain wants said about his military record are nice things (even though right wingers had no problem trashing Kerry and Gore's service records).
You do knowhe made propaganda messages for the North Vietnamesse, right?

Georgia: McCain Still Enjoys Double Digit Lead
Mon Jun 30, 2008
John McCain continues to hold a substantial lead over Barack Obama in Georgia. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state shows the presumptive Republican nominee attracting 53% of the vote while his Democratic rival earns support from 43%. One percent (1%) of voters would opt for former Georgia Congressman Bob Barr who is running as the Libertarian candidate for President. Three percent (3%) of voters are undecided.
A month ago, McCain enjoyed a similar ten-point lead, 51% to 41%. Rasmussen Reports has conducted four polls in the Peachtree State this year and McCain has led by double digits in all four. Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss appears to be in good shape for his re-election bid.
McCain is viewed favorably by 60% of Georgia voters, Obama by 47%.
The current survey found that up to 6% of Georgia voters might consider voting for Barr. Most of these are currently McCain voters. If all 6% voted for Barr, the race in Georgia might be competitive. However, unless McCain is clearly headed for defeat nationally, it is unlikely that Barr will make enough of an impact to threaten the Republican winning streak in the state.
George W. Bush won the Georgia twice by double digits. Bill Clinton narrowly carried the state in 1992 but lost it to Bob Dole in 1996. Rasmussen Markets data shows that McCain is currently given a 79.0 % chance of winning Georgia's fifteen Electoral College votes this fall. At the time this poll was released, Georgia was rated as "Likely Republican" in the Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator.
Forty-nine percent (49%) of Georgia voters say it's more important to get the troops home from Iraq than it is to win the war. Forty-five percent (45%) hold the opposite view and say victory is more important. Those figures are little changed from a month ago.
Sixty-four percent (64%) say that offshore oil wells should be allowed while 25% of Georgia voters disagree. Those figures are similar to the national average.
George W. Bush won 58% of the Georgia vote in Election 2004 but today just 40% say he is doing a good or an excellent job as President.
This survey was conducted in partnership with Fox Television Stations Inc.
This telephone survey of 800 Likely Voters was conducted by Rasmussen Reports on June 26, 2008. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.
Rasmussen Reports is an electronic publishing firm specializing in the collection, publication, and distribution of public opinion polling information.

I think the point that Wes Clark was trying to make was that McCain had no executive experience in the military - the squad he commanded was in peacetime.
I agree that people should not get in the habit of critiquing his military record, though. Then, they shouldn't have done it to Kerry in 2004, either. All military service should be treated admirably. We should be grateful to anyone that has shed blood for our country, irregardless of their party.

McCain Flips At Legit Question
Posted July 3, 2008 | 11:28 AM (EST)
I've been running VoteVets.org for a couple of years now. In 2006 and in 2008, we've endorsed a number of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans for Congress. It's still a story that the press is largely interested in, and when they call me to talk about it, I always -- always -- get the same first question:
What is it about their honorable service in Iraq and/or Afghanistan that qualifies them to go to Congress?
It's a legit question, and neither I, nor any of the candidates, take any umbrage at it. As veterans of the current conflicts, they have a unique perspective on the wars that should be part of the debate on the floor of Congress, and a vote that helps shapes our security policy.
Yesterday, John McCain was asked basically the same question by a brave reporter at ABC News. The reporter, not falling for the hysterics and mock-outrage of the McCain camp over General Wesley Clark's comments simply asked what John McCain's experiences in Vietnam did to prepare him to lead the largest military on the face of the earth.
McCain's response?
"Please," he said, recoiling back in his seat in distaste at the very question.
Uh uh. That's not good enough. You would assume that given all the whining over General Clark's legitimate point, that John McCain had some obvious answer to the question. Instead, he refused to answer the question, and let Joe Lieberman and Lindsay Graham come to his defense, babbling to the reporter about character, but not a word about qualifications.
The fact of the matter is that General Clark was absolutely right. McCain's service, while heroic and honorable, is not very relevant when it comes to preparing him to be the military's ultimate commander. His experience didn't involve executive decision making in the military, or global strategy. Very few candidates for the presidency have had the experience in life that prepares them for that role. In fact, McCain said it himself in 2003, that some of our best Commanders in Chief had no military experience at all.
That's why the McCain campaign went into all-out outrage mode over General Clark's comments. It wasn't about being offended. It wasn't even about General Clark. It was about lashing out so strongly that the media would cower in fear, and not even think about putting a question like this to McCain -- a question to which he has no answer, and is afraid of being exposed on that point. And, for most of the week, that strategy was successful, as the press wimped out, and repeated the McCain talking points.
The reporter from ABC News didn't fall for it, and did his job. But he didn't get an answer. Maybe now, reporters will stuff their guts back in their bodies and keep asking McCain this legit question -- a question I get a version of all the time from the same reporters.
It's a legit question, and it's a question for which the American people deserve an answer.

Baldwin has lead thousands with his ministry in spirituality in Pensacola Florida.
How's that for leadership experience.
Obama and McCain are Bilderberg puppets.

Part One can be found here,
Part Two is here,
And you can find Part Three here.
On the surface things really hadn't changed much. I was still moving from room to room, though I only had four different rooms instead of eight, and I still had discipline problems. But here I had backup.
The biggest was a supervisor who not only supported me but knew the students and the situation I was in. Not only did she tell me to send bad students to her, she demanded it. And trust me, they did not get a single cookie from her. I wasn't crazy about it because I felt that having her handle the unruly kids made me look weak, but we had to establish that there were consequences to disrupting the class.
As the years went on I sent fewer and fewer students to the Assistant Principal's office. It became a point of pride. I was able to handle the bad situations on my own but more importantly I had the experience to keep those situations from ever starting. In fact, One of my strong points was classroom management. Not only did I later develop the school's student code of conduct, but I was given a class that literally drove another teacher to tears (and the verge of a nervous breakdown) because I could handle them.
That was still in the future. In my first semester at the high school I was in a bad situation. I began teaching three weeks into the semester, so the kids were on a free ride. They had a string of substitutes and no real discipline. No matter what anyone tells you, a substitute teacher is there for one reason only: to prevent the kids from running in the halls and setting fire to the school. A teacher who leaves work for the sub to give the students and actually expects it to get done is crazy, at least in the schools I taught in.
But I changed that too, eventually.
The kids had experienced three weeks of total abandon during English class and now they had a teacher. And they knew that I was also new to teaching, two strikes right there. They tested me, they pushed me, they tried to beat me down. But even down two strikes the advantage was to me. First, I had resources. Unlike my old school where I never had a class set of anything, here I had six book rooms of textbooks. My old school had a delay of three days to a week if I wanted anything copied. Here I could go to the department office and copy as much as I needed at anytime. I was able to establish not only rules but consistency. Rules are good, consistency is king. The students needed to know what was expected of them, it had to be enforced, and it needed to be the same from day to day. They needed to know- clearly- what they were required to do, how it impacted them if they didn't, and how it all affected their grades.
In the early, challenging days I was able to begin to develop the strategies that would make the later year far less challenging. And I cannot overstress how important it was that I had colleagues who went out of their way to help me. Those I shared rooms with were generous and helpful. My department became a team in every sense of the word.
But not every department was the same. Despite the strength of the English department many of the others were weak. I shared a room with a selfish social studies teacher who didn't leave me a single closet for storage. It wasn't that big a deal because I only taught one class in that room and I stacked the textbooks in a corner. He came to me after a couple of days yelling at me for leaving the books out because his students were throwing them out the window. He was actually mad at me because he could not control his own class. I told him it was his fault and he tried to tell me that all supplies had to be locked up to protect them from the students. Ridiculous.
We had bad students, that was a fact. Our school underperformed and had some high profile troubles. We got only kids who couldn't get into another school and it was in a spiral. In my first semester I had a real scare. One of my students was obnoxious. She was loudly talking and carrying on conversations while I was trying to teach. I was still weak and having trouble controlling her. During this particular class we were reading from a story about a girl and a monster. We were making predictions about what would happen next and during the conversation I said, in reference to the character in the story "it looks like Christine is going to die." One of the girls carrying on the conversation caught part of that and told the obnoxious one, whose name was Christina, "he said he's going to kill you!"
She jumped up and said "what did you say? You're going to kill me? You're fucked! I'm going to get you fired!" She and three of her friends marched out and of course, the rest of the class was a lost cause. They did nothing but scream and tease me about how I was going to get arrested.
I ran to my boss's office to explain my side of the story. She didn't believe for a second that I threatened to kill anyone. I wrote up a statement and she wrote one up based on her talks with the girls. They all admitted that they didn't hear what I said, they all admitted that they were fooling around in class, and they all ended up on suspension. I never heard another word about it, but I had a very tense few minutes after they ran out until the class ended.
Compare that to this incident a few years later.
I was teaching a class and a student came in late. Normally that never disrupts a class because I had procedures in place to handle lateness but this was different. This particular student was not a bad person but had poor impulse control. Even though she couldn't pay attention in class and was badly failing we still got along. Over the years many of the students I failed were also the ones I got along with best. It was strange that the students I failed often treated me better after I failed them, even though they wouldn't have me again. I was usually able to have a separation between professional and personal so even when a student failed they knew why and didn't blame me. OK, not always, but usually.
As I said, this student had poor impulse control. And something had happened in her last class that set her off. She came into my room, let out a roar that made some of the kids jump, and kicked the garbage can across the room, making five or six kids duck. I was moving towards her with the intention of guiding her into the hall when she walked to my desk and flipped it over.
This was an old, heavy wooden desk. It had drawers on both sides and was not easy to move. She was so enraged that not only did she flip it over; it did a complete 360 in midair. Picture this, the desk completely revolved in midair. And I had a lot of papers and books on top which ended up all across the room. The desk landed on an angle and shattered into one large and three or four small pieces.
This was one of only two times I was stunned.
I was shocked into immobility, the class was so stunned that no one breathed, and even the girl who flipped the desk couldn't believe what happened and just stood there. Someone in another room must have heard the commotion because as I finally started to react security showed up and took her away. But what did the rest of the class do? Instead of going crazy and using it as an excuse to have a wild time, they asked me if I was all right and cleaned up the mess. Without being asked. In a few minutes we were back to the lesson. That was how far I had gone from the days of being yelled at day after day for not controlling my students.
I always arranged my rooms (when I finally got my own room) in a horseshoe. That gave me a lot of room to walk around and see what the kids were up to. Rows, I am convinced, are good for almost nothing. They bind a teacher to the front of the room. If you walk to the back the kids in the front can't see you. If you go down row five then row one is out of your direct line of sight. One advantage of a horseshoe shape is that I could teach from any point in the room. There were many days when I taught my classes while leaning against the back wall.
It also led to the other time I was stunned.
I had a bad student who was failing every class. He wasn't just my problem; he was a problem in every class and also at home. I almost never saw his face, he was always turned around to talk to someone. We didn't have desks, we had chairs with the desk built in to the arm. I once lifted his chair, with him still in it, and turned him around. He laughed and spun around again.
By a total coincidence I got a phone call just a minute later that his parents were on their way up and I wasn't to say anything. They wanted to see for themselves how he behaved in school so they were going to peek in the window. Thanks to the horseshoe they had a clear line of sight and what they saw was not good. I saw them in the window and their faces were not happy. The father came in the room and without a word gave the waggling "come here" finger. Their son didn't move fast enough and the mother charged him, grabbed him by the ear, and pulled him outside.
I stayed inside and tried to keep the class under control because they were howling with laughter so I missed what happened in the hall but I heard it.
The father was whipping the son with his belt.
Security happened to see it and ran to break it up.
I developed a reputation as a fight breaker. If two students started fighting in my room, and it happened too often, I got in the middle and broke it up. Eventually I was officially informed by both my boss and the UFT representative that I was to let them fight. No one wanted to see me getting hurt and I could get written up if I got involved. It galled me but I had to stand on the sidelines once while I saw one girl get a clump of hair ripped out.
One debt I owe to my first school is that because the Principal was in and out of my room so much I stopped caring who entered my room. Not only did nothing bother me, but I soon took ownership of the room. It was my room. If I wanted to control who came in I locked it and let someone in when I was ready. I never interrupted a lesson, not a single sentence, to open a door to let someone in until there was a natural break. That was true for late students, other teachers, and even high level Department of Education officials. The kids would get freaked out that I wasn't opening the door. I told them this was my class and in here not even the Mayor could tell me what to do. That was my attitude. That was the confidence I eventually gained.
And unlike my first school, no one ever made me pass a student I wanted to fail. In fact, after my first semester I was applauded for the number of students I failed. It sounds strange but it is a testament to the freedom I had.
Part One can be found here,
Part Two is here,
And you can find Part Three here.

It's funny to think that the M96 in the rear of this car once had a bad cylinder and a melted piston. Bisi Ezerioha, then only experienced with four-cylinder motors, saw an opportunity to resleeve the block, add Traum pistons and a handful of his own handmade internals. Now, the motor is force-fed by Turbonetics turbos, cooled by a Spearco intercooler the size of an ironing table, and outputting 850 horsepower—nearly six times what the '75 911's original motor made. As you might imagine, the combination of that powerplant, lightweight body, and restrained styling meets Jay Leno's lofty standards.
Affable and informed, Bisi takes Jay through every nut and bolt of this easily recognized hot rod and explains his build ethos in the process. With a 996 motor and a 997 gearbox, this classic car blends "modern technology and an old-school look." Under that understated exterior, sophisticated AEM engine management manages the boost-by-speed protocol, monitors the water-methanol mix, and controls the drive-by-wire system. Some love the hodgepodge, others don't; this car's gotten Bisi kicked out of a few air-cooled-specific events.
Coilovers of his own creation and Magnus Walker's Fifteen52 Outlaw 001 wheels complete the aggressive appearance. With a high-pitched whistle and a blow-off valve that sounds like a chef sharpening knives, the sound of the motor is just as striking. When you learn that this was Bisi's first Porsche build, your jaw hits the floor. The man oozes enthusiasm, and his ambition is not that of a mere mortal. When Jay shakes Bisi's hand at the end, you can tell he's thoroughly impressed.
For more on the specifics of this unique creation, this video goes into greater depth.

Man injured in San Francisco trying to stop a fight between pit bull-type dogs
One man was sent to the hospital Thursday night after he tried to stop a fight between two pit bull-type dogs near the San Francisco Mint.
The fight began in the Mint alley near Mission Street when one dog broke away from its handler, who had been trying to calm and restrain it, and rushed up the street to attack the other dog, who was with its handler.
The prolonged fight rolled into the middle of the street with various people trying to take control of the animals. At one point the man who was injured fell on the ground with one dog on top of him. He was apparently bitten and taken away later by paramedics. His condition was unknown.
"It was like three or four guys trying to break it up, and they got bit in the process," said witness Teneshia Fisher, 27, of Flint, Michigan. "You could see the dog pulling on the guy's leg, so someone was really injured."
The dog's barks and yaps drew a crowd. San Francisco police officers arrived but the dogs continued fighting. Police declined to comment.
The dogs were eventually separated. San Francisco Animal Care and Control took custody of the black and white mixed breed dog, which was the one that broke away from its handler and attacked the other dog. It's unclear if the other dog was taken away.

Home Button Doesn't Function After Taking Unit Apart?
I took my iPod apart to remove a connector that got broken off in the lightning port. Got all of that taken care of and put everything back together only to find that my home button is now not functioning. Everything else is working perfectly. There is spring to the button. I've tried recalibrating to no avail and rebooting did not help. I have added the software home button, but would really like to have it fixed properly. Any ideas as to what I've overlooked?

The ILIP Bio line has been extended, and a range of cardboard plates and cups is being launched, to meet the growing need for cellulose-based products in large-scale distribution and the HORECA industry
VALSAMOGGIA (BO, xx January 2018) – The year has set off to a novelty-packed start for ILIP's Foodservice Packaging business unit, which is part of the company based in Valsamoggia specialising in the production of food packaging.
On 16th and 17th January, the Bolognese company will attend Marca, the international private label exhibition in Bologna (Hall 30 – Booth A63) and Sigep, the International Trade Show of Artisan Gelato, Pastry, Bakery and the Coffee World (Hall D5 – Booth 108) in Rimini. The focus of ILIP's participation in both trade fairs will lie on the new products from the brand's lines of disposable tableware and deli-food containers, in which special attention was paid to compostable and biodegradable materials and the use of renewable resources.
"We decided to take part in both events to give out a strong signal to the large-scale distribution and HORECA markets, in view of the imminent confirmation by the European Parliament of the Directive which affects disposable plastic tableware – explains Roberto Zanichelli, business development and marketing director at ILIP – We are not unprepared for this prospect, as we have been supplying lines of plates, cutlery and containers in bioplastic, cellulose pulp, and now cardboard too, for more than ten years. Thanks to the experience gained in this field, we are launching some major novelties in Rimini and Bologna, to accommodate the growing needs of our customers for alternatives to traditional plastic materials".
Specifically, at Marca and at Sigep 2019, ILIP will be presenting the extension of the ILIP Bio line of compostable products; the new line of cardboard products and a new premium range of plastic tableware, which is also re-usable and suitable for finger food.
The new cardboard plates and cups are biodegradable and made using renewable resources and are destined for use by both consumers, via large-scale distribution, as well as the HORECA channel. Their applications range from serving cold and hot beverages, to fast food, ready meals and fresh food, both hot and cold. All the raw materials used are sourced from renewable resources in Europe with a controlled and certified supply chain, and they can also be available with FSC (forest stewardship council) or PEFC (Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes) certifications.
The ILIP BIO line, which already includes cups, plates which are also resistant to high temperatures, cutlery, bioplastic food containers, cellulose pulp plates and cardboard cups, has been supplemented with several new products: bioplastic products in small packs intended for sale in large-scale distribution; heat sealable square plates (180×180 cm) with compostable film for modern collective catering and pre-packed food on wheels; a new line of disposable cups and plates in biodegradable cardboard.
The assortment of biodegradable pulp products has also been extended with the addition of around 25 new items, including plates, bowls and food trays. The new products which have been added to the line also include new wooden cutlery, as a possible alternative to the range in bioplastic which the company already supplies.

With fashion trends now singing to a muted tune, Andi Eigenmann graces the cover of Preview August 2010 awash in taupes, camels, khakis and beige. Far from the busy florals and mixed prints of yester-season, the path has been cleared for a cleaner aesthetic. Following suit of the rich neutral garments used for the shoot, the make up was equally toned down in naturally occurring skintone hues. Cheeks were kept a blushing pink, lips with the slightest tinge of warm coral and taupe on the lids for a quiet depth. Eyebrows provided the only strong vocal point, but even then, were done soft and thick. The result was nothing too stark and everything done with a light hand.

Tramadol hydrochloride tablets are opioid analgesics, a painkiller that is prescribed to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. Moreover, it is considered a safer alternative to other narcotic analgesics like methadone and hydrocodone (Vicodin, Lortab). The additional medication containing tramadol include Ultram ER, an extended-release formulation for round-the-clock pain relief, and Ultracet, a combination of tramadol and acetaminophen.
Tramadol tablets work online by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain. Tramadol tablets are a milder form of opiate medication.

Physical dependence:
Physical dependence on tramadol tablets can develop over time with prolonged period and increase in use. If its dependency occurs then you may notice the following withdrawal symptoms if you stop using the medication.
Gastrointestinal pain
Numbness in the extremities

Compulsive use of tramadol hydrochloride despite negative consequences:
