Remarks as prepared for Eggs and Issues breakfast:
Welcome, all of you, to the start of a new year and to the beginning of the legislative session.
To Ernest Greer and the Georgia Chamber, thank you for inviting me to speak to you this morning. This is the first of three presentations I will make today. The State of the State address will be later this morning and my remarks to the Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate will be this afternoon. While I will not address every issue I consider important this morning, it will include some items that will not be duplicated later today.
Truthfully, I think the General Assembly and I have done many things right during our time together, such as making our state's waterways safer and reforming our justice systems to reduce crime and costs. We have entwined our efforts with members of the private sector, such as the Georgia and local chambers, to ensure we are working with our state and not just for it. For example, your support in such matters as the Georgia Competitiveness Initiative has allowed us to find where our business needs lie and then put plans in action to fill those gaps.
Working together, we have accomplished much. When I deliver my annual State of the State address, I will detail my plans and proposals for the upcoming year, and I'm certainly excited about what we have in store.
For now, I would like to discuss with you another matter of importance, not merely for this chamber but rather for our state as a whole.
It is no secret that we in Georgia have been honored for our great track record. Olympic athletes train their whole lives to earn this recognition; companies long to acquire it; and we have it. Georgia is No. 1. For the first time ever, we have surpassed every other state as the top place in the nation in which to do business!
While it might be inappropriate in this setting to start chanting "We're No. 1," I do think it appropriate to examine how we got here and what we are doing to stay at the top.
I suppose the story of how we achieved our current status dates back to when our ancestors first drew the boundaries of our great state. Geographically, we won the lottery. Eighty percent of the U.S. market can now be reached within a two-hour flight or a two-day truck haul.
We have built on the work of those who came before us and taken every advantage that our geography has allowed us. It is through this tactic of seizing every opportunity and making new ones that we have gone from a good state for business to a great state for business, and it's also why we're now considered the state for business!
For instance, we move more people through Hartsfield-Jackson than any other airport in the world, having just added a new international wing in 2012. It is an important economic development tool and we let every company domestic or global know about it.
We continue to develop our roads, highways and interstates to keep people and businesses moving within our state and onward to others. Of particular note, we are in the middle of the largest project in our state transportation department's history, our Northwest Corridor Project. This project will make use of reversible lanes and innovation from the private sector to relieve tie-ups on one of our state's most congested routes. This new option will mean a more reliable commute for thousands of Georgians.
We are also working on a 400/285 interchange to relieve congestion in another pivotal area; we are completing the Fall Line Freeway to keep our goods flowing throughout the state; and through the Jimmy Deloach Parkway Connector we are better linking the Port of Savannah with our interstate system. Our transportation agencies remain focused on keeping our promises, doing more with less and directing our efforts where they are needed most.
The Port of Savannah, the nation's 4th largest and fastest growing, provides our businesses with a powerful outlet to the rest of the world. For the past 15 or so years, Georgia has pushed to deepen the port so that our businesses and economy can reap the benefits of being able to accept the larger, cost-saving ships coming soon through the Panama Canal. Since I took office, we have made great strides in this area, but we're ready to get this show on the road.
This past year, I went down to Panama to see what progress they were making, and while it was impressive, they apologized for being a little behind schedule, and will not be finished until 2015, a year later than their goal. I told them that's OK, just take your time, we want you to do it right. For after all, we won't be finished with our project by next year either.
While there still remains one additional legislative act to clear the legal hurdles on this project, I want to thank our U.S. Senators and Representatives for their support on it. And Saxby has assured me he will not leave Washington until the current cost level is reauthorized. For our part, my budget this year will include Georgia's last remaining amount for our anticipated portion of the expansion costs.
While we're on the topic of transportation, I would like to highlight some relevant improvements that we have made that enhance the quality of life in our state, which those of us in here know is just as important for drawing jobs to Georgia as any tax credit.
Two years ago, in conjunction with the Georgia departments of Transportation and Public Safety, we committed to keeping traffic flowing on our interstate corridors by clearing accidents quicker. Last year, I added 75 new Georgia State Troopers to patrol the interstates of metro Atlanta during the hours when accidents were most likely to occur. As a result, the average response time to an interstate traffic accident is now less than 10 minutes in Cobb and Gwinnett counties, and the time it takes to clear a crash in these areas has also been reduced to an average of 30 minutes. Every minute that we save goes right back to the drivers in those regions.
Of course, sometimes these accidents are more than mere inconveniences to travelers, and we see many instances on and off our roads where immediate medical attention is needed. Someone hurt in these crashes may require speed beyond what our roads will allow, and in that case, we call in a helicopter to carry them to a hospital. But unfortunately not every region is currently covered by this service as well as we would like. For this reason, I have included in my budget proposal for AFY '14 and FY 2015, over $12M that will go toward providing crucial life flights in southwest Georgia, an area in need of far better access to them. This too is a partnership with the department of Public Safety and local governments, which we are happy to undertake.
Naturally, we have done other things in recent years that have hastened our state's ascent to No. 1, such as enacting sweeping tax reforms that lowered our state's tax burden and lifted our economy! We did this with the help of the private sector and the Georgia Competitiveness Initiative, whereby we boosted our manufacturing sector, supported our farmers and promoted strong families.
We have also put in place efforts to make a more educated Georgia and thus a more prepared workforce, even though we already have the best set of employees in the country. Our future workforce must meet the standards of our current one and meet the demands of our future economy. This is why, from getting our young people reading on grade level by the end of third grade to creating and saving college scholarships, we are working to keep our students moving toward the freedom of a worthwhile degree. A Georgia that learns is a Georgia that leads!
To further last year's efforts to strengthen our workforce in strategic areas by way of our technical colleges, this year I am putting $5M in funds to cover four new areas with expected job growth. These are welding, health care technology, diesel mechanics and information technology. We are also creating a new scholarship to help our highest achieving technical college students more fully afford the cost of their education. And during the State of the State, I will roll out a new higher education initiative that will give you businessmen and women the chance to help form the workforce of our future.
Our ever-improving assets have certainly driven us to our top spot, but there is another aspect to our ranking, one which often gets overlooked. Site Selection Magazine, who dubbed us the best state for business, bases a large part of their analysis on feedback from site selection consultants. These men and women are the ones with whom you consult when you want to learn where you should grow your business or start a new one. We are proud that Georgia sits so favorably in their minds, and we have certainly worked to make ourselves available so that we stay there. These strong relationships and this marketing of our state would not have been possible without the help of the Georgia departments of Economic Development and Community Affairs, the General Assembly and our private partners. Since we have new leadership in both of these two State Agencies, I want to ask Chris Carr, our new Commissioner of the Department of Economic Development and Gretchen Corbin, the new Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs to please stand. These are well qualified individuals who will carry on the excellent work of their predecessors.
To make sure that we can continue to meet the needs of businesses looking to locate or expand in our state, we have included $25M in our AFY 2014 budget for economic development. These additional resources help local communities and development authorities build critical elements needed to attract companies and will allow us to continue to partner with local efforts, which will bring more jobs to our state.
We will continue to build our assets and market our state to the global economy. In doing so, we hope to hold onto our position as No. 1. But let us consider for a moment what our rank means. Is this a trophy that will sit on our shelf until dust collects and we have only to reminisce about our glory days? Or is there more to it?
Surely the meaning of our ranking will not quickly fade, for there is nothing fleeting about it. Our renown brings investments to our economy and jobs to our citizens.
We have made great progress. As a result of our efforts, we have attracted the eyes of businessmen and women such as you, and this new ranking will certainly put us within sight of many more. In fact, during my term so far, we have attracted more than 1,100 projects and $16.3B in investment.
These projects are paying off. The carpet and flooring community in Northwest Georgia, for instance, was hard hit by the recession, but we have recently announced approximately 3,000 flooring-related jobs going to that region. In terms of projects committed to our state during my administration, we have seen approximately a 40 percent growth in job creation compared to the height of the Great Recession.
These new additions take time to complete and open. As they do, I suspect we shall continue to see the unemployment rate drop. It is currently at its lowest point in half a decade.
We will keep building up our state, marketing Georgia and reaching out to companies for input and investment. We will seek investments from all businesses for all parts of our state, and not just new businesses for a few big cities. In FY 2013, 2/3 of the projects came from existing businesses in Georgia deciding to expand. Their successes are our successes. In addition, more than half of the jobs created from our projects and more than three quarters of the state's investment were headed to areas outside of metro Atlanta.
We captured the top spot by capitalizing on advantages, by using innovation, by investing in crucial resources, by building relationships and by listening to the needs of the private sector. We will work to stay No. 1 by amplifying those efforts, and our agenda this year reflects that promise.
We thank you for your support and we welcome your continued partnership as we continue to move Georgia forward.

I have yet to receive any notification, other than published news reports, that the NBPA has terminated my employment. If accurate, it is indicative of the extremely troubling process followed by the NBPA during the past few weeks. During the days and weeks ahead, my legal team and I will begin carefully reviewing the actions taken and statements made against me in the meeting room in my absence. I look forward to gathering the evidence showing how certain individuals made sure the outcome was pre-ordained.
After 17 years of representing NBA players during CBA negotiations and defending their rights in other proceedings, not once was there an occasion where one side was denied an opportunity to be heard. The current interim regime in control of the NBPA has set a terrible precedent for the union. It violates every tenet of fairness upon which the union was founded. Now that this has occurred, I will continue to examine all of my options, including whether the fairness that was absent from the NBPA process might be available in a different forum. In addition, given the legitimate legal and governance questions surrounding the eligibility of the members who voted and the adherence, or lack thereof, to the constitution and bylaws, I do not consider today's vote the end, only a different beginning. My legal representatives and I will resume communication with the NBPA to determine how to best move forward in the best interests of all parties.

Green averaged 26.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists as the undefeated Hokies posted homecourt wins over Iowa and No. 15 Oklahoma State. In Tuesday's 95-79 win over the Hawkeyes, the Winchester, Va., senior was 8-for-15 from the field and led all scorers with 24 points to go along with five assists and five rebounds. In Saturday's 81-71 victory over the Cowboys, Green had career-highs in points (28) and rebounds (7) in just 26 minutes of action, due to early foul trouble. Green has scored at least 20 points in all seven games this season and leads the ACC in scoring (24.9).
Plumlee recorded a pair of double-doubles and averaged 19.5 points, 14.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game as the second-ranked Blue Devils remained undefeated following wins over No. 4 Ohio State and Delaware. The Warsaw, Ind., senior shot 60.0 percent (12-of-20) from the field and 68.2 percent (15-of-22) from the foul line for the week. Plumlee opened the week with a 21-point, 17-rebound effort in a 73-68 come-from-behind win against the Buckeyes. In Saturday's 88-50 victory over Delaware, Plumlee was 6-of-9 from the field, finishing with 18 points and 11 rebounds in only 24 minutes.
Sulaimon averaged 15.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game in wins over No. 4 Ohio State and Delaware. The Houston, Texas, native scored 17 points and grabbed 4 rebounds in the win over the Buckeyes. After going scoreless in the opening half, he scored 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting as Duke overcame a 10-point deficit over the final 20 minutes of play. Sulaimon reached double figures for the seventh straight game with 14 points on 6-of-12 shooting in Saturday's win over Delaware. He also added four rebounds and a season-high six assists against the Blue Hens.

Naturalistic, striking images convey Belski's talent and eye for composition
Calgary, AB -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/16/2014 -- Sergei Belski Photography today announced the release of a selection of the best wedding photographs it produced in 2013. This annual event showcases some of the highlights from the work of one of the most highly regarded wedding photographers in Canada and includes some stunning and emotion-laden images featuring a wide variety of wedding celebrants in a number of different settings.
"2013 was a wonderful year for us," photographer Sergei Belski stated, "and these beautiful images we captured really sum that fact up."

He travels worldwide in the course of his work, focusing on producing naturalistic, spontaneous wedding photographs that reflect the real emotions experienced by those in attendance. His work has appeared in a wide variety of top-flight publications, and he has developed a reputation as one of the most skilled wedding photographers in North America.
"Wedding photographs are treasures that are meant to be enjoyed for lifetimes," Belski continued, "and our philosophy allows us to deliver pictures that really stand the test of time." Belski focuses on integrating himself as fully as possible into the events he documents, preferring to be an unobtrusive presence. This, along with his dedication to making sure that guests feel comfortable around him and his equipment, allows him to capture images that faithfully represent the true, spontaneous feelings of those he photographs. This gives his photographs a longevity and endurance that more contrived ones generally lack, a fact which inevitably pleases the families and loved ones of those involved.
Serge Belski Photography offers a wide variety of wedding packages, with each including at no extra charge high-resolution images which have undergone color correction and any other necessary processing before delivery. No travel charge is necessary for appointments in western Canada, and Belski commits to being available for the entirety of every event, without imposing hourly charges for additional time. Equipped with a wide variety of the latest, highest-grade cameras, lenses, and accessories, the Calgary wedding photographer is capable of shooting under any conceivable conditions and in any setting.
"Anyone who appreciates weddings or photography will enjoy looking through our best pictures of 2013," Belski concluded, "and we hope that this sampling of our work will help more people understand how priceless great wedding photography can be." The selection of photographs can be viewed in the "Blog" section of the photographer's web site, where a large number of other images are also available. The site also includes more extensive galleries of the photographer's work, as well as pricing and booking information.
About Sergei Belski Photography
One of the most capable and highly regarded wedding photographers in western Canada, Sergei Belski Photography offers all-inclusive packages to families in that area. Belski can be booked for weddings anywhere in the world, and the natural, memorable products of his work have been published in a variety of publications.

HUBER HEIGHTS, OHIO: Police in southwest Ohio say a customer angry over not getting a taco he ordered struck a Taco Bell restaurant�s glass entrance with his truck. No one was injured.
Huber Heights police say 23-year-old Michael S. Smith ordered at a drive-up window in the Dayton suburb on Tuesday and later realized he was missing the taco. Officer Brandon Sucher says Smith returned to the restaurant and had angry words with employees before striking the building.
Police tracked the truck�s fluid trail to Smith�s house a few miles away and arrested him on a vandalism charge.
Sucher says Smith told police he hit the building accidentally after driving off fast and losing control of the truck.
There was no telephone listing for Smith, and he could not immediately be reached for comment.

Sleep disorder
|Sleep disorder
|Classification and external resources
|307.4, 327, 780.5
A sleep disorder, or somnipathy, is a medical disorder of the sleep patterns of a person or animal. Some sleep disorders are serious enough to interfere with normal physical, mental, social and emotional functioning. Polysomnography and actigraphy are tests commonly ordered for some sleep disorders.
Disruptions in sleep can be caused by a variety of issues, from teeth grinding (bruxism) to night terrors. When a person suffers from difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep with no obvious cause, it is referred to as insomnia.[1]
Sleep disorders are broadly classified into dyssomnias, parasomnias, circadian rhythm sleep disorders involving the timing of sleep, and other disorders including ones caused by medical or psychological conditions and sleeping sickness. Some common sleep disorders include sleep apnea (stops in breathing during sleep), narcolepsy and hypersomnia (excessive sleepiness at inappropriate times), cataplexy (sudden and transient loss of muscle tone while awake), and sleeping sickness (disruption of sleep cycle due to infection). Other disorders include sleepwalking, night terrors and bed wetting. Management of sleep disturbances that are secondary to mental, medical, or substance abuse disorders should focus on the underlying conditions.

Common disorders
The most common sleep disorders include:
- Bruxism: Involuntarily grinding or clenching of the teeth while sleeping.
- Delayed sleep phase disorder (DSPD): inability to awaken and fall asleep at socially acceptable times but no problem with sleep maintenance, a disorder of circadian rhythms. (Other such disorders are advanced sleep phase disorder (ASPD), non-24-hour sleep–wake disorder (non-24) in the sighted or the blind, and irregular sleep wake rhythm, all much less common than DSPD, as well as the transient jet lag and shift work sleep disorders.)
- Hypopnea syndrome: Abnormally shallow breathing or slow respiratory rate while sleeping.
- Idiopathic hypersomnia: a primary, neurologic hypersomnia, which shares many similarities with narcolepsy.
- Insomnia disorder: Chronic difficulty in falling asleep and/or maintaining sleep when no other cause is found for these symptoms.
- Kleine–Levin syndrome: characterized by persistent episodic hypersomnia and cognitive or mood changes (rare)
- Narcolepsy: Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) often culminating in falling asleep spontaneously but unwillingly at inappropriate times. Also often associated with cataplexy, a sudden weakness in the motor muscles that can result in collapse to the floor.
- Night terror: Pavor nocturnus, sleep terror disorder, an abrupt awakening from sleep with behavior consistent with terror.
- Nocturia: A frequent need to get up and urinate at night. It differs from Enuresis, or bed-wetting, in which the person does not arouse from sleep, but the bladder nevertheless empties.[2]
- Parasomnias: Disruptive sleep-related events involving inappropriate actions during sleep; sleep walking and night-terrors are examples.
- Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD): Sudden involuntary movement of arms and/or legs during sleep, for example kicking the legs. Also known as nocturnal myoclonus. See also Hypnic jerk, which is not a disorder.
- Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD): Acting out violent or dramatic dreams while in REM sleep, sometimes injuring bed partner or self (REM sleep disorder or RSD)
- Restless legs syndrome (RLS): An irresistible urge to move legs. RLS sufferers often also have PLMD.
- Sleep apnea, obstructive sleep apnea: Obstruction of the airway during sleep, causing lack of sufficient deep sleep, often accompanied by snoring. Other forms of sleep apnea are less common. When air is blocked from entering into the lungs, the individual unconsciously gasps for air and sleep is disturbed. Stops of breathing of at least ten seconds, 30 times within seven hours of sleep, classifies as apnea. Other forms of sleep apnea include central sleep apnea and sleep-related hypoventilation.[3]
- Sleep paralysis: is characterized by temporary paralysis of the body shortly before or after sleep. Sleep paralysis may be accompanied by visual, auditory or tactile hallucinations. Not a disorder unless severe. Often seen as part of narcolepsy.
- Sleepwalking or somnambulism: Engaging in activities that are normally associated with wakefulness (such as eating or dressing), which may include walking, without the conscious knowledge of the subject.
- Somniphobia: A cause of sleep deprivation. Somniphobia is a dread/ fear of falling asleep or going to bed. Signs of illness include anxiety and panic attacks before and during attempts to sleep.[4]
- Situational circadian rhythm sleep disorder: shift work sleep disorder (SWSD). Jet lag was previously included here, but it doesn't appear in DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).
Dyssomnias - A broad category of sleep disorders characterized by either hypersomnia or insomnia. The three major subcategories include intrinsic (i.e., arising from within the body), extrinsic (secondary to environmental conditions or various pathologic conditions), and disturbances of circadian rhythm.[5]
- Insomnia: Insomnia is often a symptom of a mood disorder (i.e., emotional stress, anxiety, depression) or underlying health condition (i.e., asthma, diabetes, heart disease, pregnancy or neurological conditions).[6]
Primary hypersomnia. Hypersomnia of central or brain origin.
- Narcolepsy: A chronic neurological disorder (or dyssomnia), which is caused by the brain's inability to control sleep and wakefulness.[7]
- Idiopathic hypersomnia: a chronic neurological disease similar to narcolepsy in which there is an increased amount of fatigue and sleep during the day. Patients who suffer from idiopathic hypersomnia cannot obtain a healthy amount of sleep for a regular day of activities. This hinders the patients' ability to perform well, and the patient has to deal with this for the rest of their lives.[8]

Diagnosing insomnia
Insomnia is characterized by an extended period of symptoms including trouble with retaining sleep, fatigue, decreased attentiveness, and dysphoria. To diagnose insomnia, these symptoms must persist for a minimum of 4 weeks. The DSM-IV categorizes insomnias into primary insomnia, insomnia associated with medical or mental illness, and insomnia associated with the consumption or abuse of substances. Individuals with insomnia often worry about the negative health consequences, which can lead to the development of anxiety and depression.[8]
The following tests are used to diagnose insomnia as well as several other sleep disorders.
- Sleep diary: Tracking sleep patterns may help a doctor reach a diagnosis.
- Epworth Sleepiness Scale: a validated questionnaire that is used to assess daytime sleepiness
- Polysomnogram: a test measuring brain and muscle activity including breathing during sleep
- Multiple Sleep Latency Test: a test for daytime sleepiness, usually administered the day after overnight polysomnography
- Actigraphy: a test to assess sleep-wake patterns, usually for a week or more. Actigraphs are wrist-worn devices, about the size of a wristwatch, that measure movement.
- Mental health exam: Because insomnia may be a symptom of depression, anxiety, or another mental health disorder, a mental status exam, mental health history, and basic mental evaluations may be part of the assessment for a person complaining of insomnia.
General principles of treatment
Treatments for sleep disorders generally can be grouped into four categories:
- Behavioral and psychotherapeutic treatment
- Rehabilitation and management
- Medication
- Other somatic treatment
None of these general approaches is sufficient for all patients with sleep disorders. Rather, the choice of a specific treatment depends on the patient's diagnosis, medical and psychiatric history, and preferences, as well as the expertise of the treating clinician. Often, behavioral/psychotherapeutic and pharmacological approaches are not incompatible and can effectively be combined to maximize therapeutic benefits. Management of sleep disturbances that are secondary to mental, medical, or substance abuse disorders should focus on the underlying conditions.
Medications and somatic treatments may provide the most rapid symptomatic relief from some sleep disturbances. Certain disorders like narcolepsy, are best treated with prescription drugs such as Modafinil.[8] Others, such as chronic and primary insomnia, may be more amenable to behavioral interventions, with more durable results.
Chronic sleep disorders in childhood, which affect some 70% of children with developmental or psychological disorders, are under-reported and under-treated. Sleep-phase disruption is also common among adolescents, whose school schedules are often incompatible with their natural circadian rhythm. Effective treatment begins with careful diagnosis using sleep diaries and perhaps sleep studies. Modifications in sleep hygiene may resolve the problem, but medical treatment is often warranted.[10]
Special equipment may be required for treatment of several disorders such as obstructive apnea, the circadian rhythm disorders and bruxism. In these cases, when severe, an acceptance of living with the disorder, however well managed, is often necessary.
Some sleep disorders have been found to compromise glucose metabolism.[11]
Hypnosis treatment
Research suggests that hypnosis may be helpful in alleviating some types and manifestations of sleep disorders in some patients.[12] "Acute and chronic insomnia often respond to relaxation and hypnotherapy approaches, along with sleep hygiene instructions."[13] Hypnotherapy has also helped with nightmares and sleep terrors. There are several reports of successful use of hypnotherapy for parasomnias[14][15] specifically for head and body rocking, bedwetting and sleepwalking.[16]
Hypnotherapy has been studied in the treatment of sleep disorders in both adults[16] and children.[17]
Sleep medicine
Due to rapidly increasing knowledge about sleep in the 20th century, including the discovery of REM sleep and sleep apnea, the medical importance of sleep was recognized. The medical community began paying more attention than previously to primary sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, as well as the role and quality of sleep in other conditions. By the 1970s in the USA, clinics and laboratories devoted to the study of sleep and sleep disorders had been founded, and a need for standards arose.Sleep Medicine is now a recognized subspecialty within internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, otolaryngology, psychiatry and neurology in the United States. Certification in Sleep Medicine shows that the specialist:
"has demonstrated expertise in the diagnosis and management of clinical conditions that occur during sleep, that disturb sleep, or that are affected by disturbances in the wake-sleep cycle. This specialist is skilled in the analysis and interpretation of comprehensive polysomnography, and well-versed in emerging research and management of a sleep laboratory."[19]
Competence in sleep medicine requires an understanding of a myriad of very diverse disorders, many of which present with similar symptoms such as excessive daytime sleepiness, which, in the absence of volitional sleep deprivation, "is almost inevitably caused by an identifiable and treatable sleep disorder", such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia, Kleine–Levin syndrome, menstrual-related hypersomnia, idiopathic recurrent stupor, or circadian rhythm disturbances.[20] Another common complaint is insomnia, a set of symptoms which can have a great many different causes, physical and mental. Management in the varying situations differs greatly and cannot be undertaken without a correct diagnosis.

In the UK, knowledge of sleep medicine and possibilities for diagnosis and treatment seem to lag. Guardian.co.uk quotes the director of the Imperial College Healthcare Sleep Centre: "One problem is that there has been relatively little training in sleep medicine in this country – certainly there is no structured training for sleep physicians."[23] The Imperial College Healthcare site[24] shows attention to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) and very few other sleep disorders.
[22] The qualified dentists collaborate with sleep physicians at accredited sleep centers and can provide oral appliance therapy and upper airway surgery to treat or manage sleep-related breathing disorders.[21]

The "Today" show family has a new addition.
Carson Daly, who's no stranger to the show – he's co-anchored with Savannah Guthrie – will be joining the program as the host of "Today's" brand new Orange Room.
The room is a cutting edge interactive digital studio that will connect the show and its audience through social media and other digital platforms. It is part of "Today's" revamped Studio1A, set to debut on Monday, Sept. 16.
"I've loved the 'Today' show for a long time," said Carson who shot to fame as host of MTV's "TRL." "When I'm there I feel like a kid in a candy store. I think the first time I was on 'Today' I was having so much fun and I tweeted 'Today' is TRL for grownups.'"
Carson, who's also the host of NBC's "The Voice" singing competition, will allow viewers to provide feedback and influence morning show segments, according to "Today."
"I'm really excited to meet 'Today' viewers – I want them to tweet at me and to look at the Orange Room as their room; I want to be their host," he said.

Immigration reform is taking its time in Congress but the executive branch agencies charged with enforcing immigration laws have not been idle. Rather, they've been implementing bits and pieces of the reform package on their own – but not any of the good ones.
Last month, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it will "lock" a Social Security number when E-Verify or USCIS employees, based on new algorithms, believe the number is fraudulent or used fraudulently. The number is locked and a tentative non-confirmation (TNC) is issued to the applicant or applicants using the contested number – preventing any further E-Verify confirmations until the fraudulent user proves he or she is the lawful holder.
Although my colleagues and I have written extensively about the E-Verify system and its threat to liberties and economic growth, locking adds a newer negative dimension.
"Locking" was proposed as part of the summer's comprehensive immigration reform bill that was passed by the Senate and in the House's Legal Workforce Act. Locking was a bad idea in those bills and remains a bad idea today when implemented by regulatory fiat.

You might know the routine by now. In Wake Up the Box 4, you're asked to rouse a sleeping box from his naptime. How do you accomplish that? By using your mouse to draw various wooden blocks, ramps, sticks, balls or weird blobs. Using them to solve the game's increasingly difficult physics-based puzzles will give the old think-box a workout. It's also mighty addictive. Wake up, you damn box!

Obituaries can help you discover more about the life of an ancestor and can also fill in key family details such as a mother's maiden name or a birthplace in Europe that you've been seeking. Once you have your basic research done and key family members charted, it's time to hunt for obituaries.
If some of your ancestors lived in a small-to-medium-sized community served by a long-running newspaper, your search will likely be easier than in other situations. My greatest success so far has been in obtaining obituaries for ancestors who lived in New Holstein, Wisconsin. The town was founded in 1848 by people from Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and the community has a strong sense of pride in its history and people.
In fact, it was an obituary for Nicholas Boie, posted on a New Holstein genealogy Web site, that revealed my ggg-grandparents Nicholas and Cecilia Tonner Boie. Their oldest daughter Elise married the younger Ferdinand Hachez. I had known the Hachez name since childhood, but not the Boie name.
The New Holstein Public Library has a genealogy section on its Web page, and lists an "obituary index" among its holdings. Thanks to the helpful people at the library, I was able to obtain a list of obituaries of known family members — and also several in the "cluster" of in-laws worth reviewing.
Using Interlibrary Loan at my local library, I obtained the microfilms covering the relevant issues of the newspaper, the New Holstein Reporter. When you find the obituary, print it out and, as soon as you can, transcribe it so it is easy to share.
Transcriptions that I have done have recently been added to the New Holstein genealogy Web site's obituary section, where I'd found Nicholas Boie.
Direct ancestors include:
Anna Margretha Groth Luehr, gg-grandmother
Clara Hachez Luehr, great-grandmother
William Henry Luehr, great-grandfather
Ferdinand E. Hachez, gg-grandfather
"Cluster" relatives include:
John August Hansen, who married Lena Boie, one of the younger sisters of Elise Boie Hachez. This obituary provided details on Ferdinand Hachez's business in New Holstein.
Mathilde Agnes "Tillie" Boie Sebelein, the youngest sister of Elise Boie Hachez. While Elise (Mrs. Ferd. Hachez) is mentioned just once, the brief text provides a picture of the Boie siblings growing up on a farm south of town.
Just as with all documents, you must use care with the information in obituaries and seek corroboration from other records. See the note I provided at the end of the obituary for Ferdinand E. Hachez as a good example. If I had not viewed many census records and other documents, I would not have known that it was his ancestors who were born in Alsace Lorraine, not Ferdinand himself.
We'll discuss obituaries again in the future. Good searching!
This is one in a series of genealogy and family history research ideas to help you find your family and ancestors for modest or no cost.

Huayi Brothers exec hired as senior executive for new China offices.
Los Angeles-based financing, sales and distribution company IM Global is to open offices in Beijing at the end of this month.
The senior executive in the office will be local executive Leslie Chen, who was most recently head of international sales at Huayi Brothers Media Corporation.
At Huayi, Chen helped launch sales on major Asian titles such as Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame and Aftershock by Feng Xiao Gang as well as If You are the One II by Feng Xiao Gang and both Tai Chi 0 and Tai Chi Hero from Stephen Fung.
The indie financier and sales company will base day-to-day management and operations of its Apsara pan-Asian distribution label out of Beijing after Chen's arrival.
Chen will also manage much of the company's international sales activity in the region as well as overseeing the release of IM Global's films in mainland China.
IM Global founder and CEO Stuart Ford said: "We're excited at the prospect of expanding our sales and distribution activities across Asia in the next few years. Leslie is an outstanding hire for us and I look forward to her playing a prominent role in our pan-Asian distribution and sales business in years to come."
Chen said: "I am very happy to join IM Global and contribute my knowhow and experience of the Asian market to such a dynamic, fast-growing company. It will be an exciting and challenging new journey for both of us."
IM Global has financed or co-financed 14 films in the past two-and-a-half years, including box office hits A Haunted House and Sinister and foreign sales successes including Paranormal Activity, A Single Man, Dredd, Insidious, The Inbetweeners, Bullet To The Head, and Dark Skies.

- Peter McFarlane Circuit SculpturePeter McFarlane's mixed media sculptures may look like fossils, but the detailed installations are really reworked circuit boards! The artist focuses on transforming trash into fine art, believing that waste is just "a lack of imagination." His gorgeous fossil pieces look as if they were unearthed from prehistoric times, but are really a reinterpretation of the quick turnover of developing technology.1
- Peter McFarlane Circuit SculptureUsing wires, pieces of metal sheeting and solder, McFarlane creates representations of creatures past. Lizards (perhaps tiny dinosaurs?), plumes of feathers, and herringboned fish skeletons are embedded in the glittering green circuit boards, as if buried for centuries.2
- Peter McFarlane Circuit SculptureThe figures on each piece seem authentic, partially submerged into the surface just as a rock fossil would be.3
- Peter McFarlane Circuit SculptureCircuit boards are also used as a basis and material for other sculptural installations.4
- Peter McFarlane Circuit SculptureDozens of horses gallop in unison, each cut out from different hued motherboards, their textures still bearing the connectors that were used when the material lived inside an electronic device. Even wires are repurposed, coiled into a straw bird's nest and perched atop a shelf made from a circuit board.5
- Peter McFarlane Circuit SculptureMcFarlane's knack of taking inspiration from the recycled materials he uses is fused with his deep interest in history.6
- Peter McFarlane Circuit SculptureThe resulting body of work combines a conceptual notion of ancient history, then brings attention to the not so distant past. His circuit board fossils in particular draw attention to our rapidly changing society, where technological innovations of yesterday quickly become obsolete, their remnants thrown into the trash as technology moves on to the faster and better model.7

Have you ever wondered what a pallet-load of pencils looks like? This picture is your answer. Have you ever wondered what a pallet-load of pencils being delivered to a chagrined media mogul looks like? You'll find out soon!
The Pencils2MediaMoguls campaign is moving forward. And I'm happy to report that Miles Millar and Al Gough, the showrunners of "Smallville," have announced a fun incentive for those of you who haven't joined in. This email was sent out to "Smallville" fans this morning:
So, Miles and I were sitting around the other day (which is what writers do when they can't write and their picketing shift if over) wondering what we can do to kick this Pencils2Moguls campaign up a notch. Don't get me wrong, we are stoked by the response so far, but we felt there must be something we can do to really light a fire under it going into the holidays.Now, if the gift of Lex isn't enough to motivate you, perhaps you'll take the advice of Jane Espenson:
Then the answer hit us -- the greatest criminal mind of our time -- Lex Luthor.
We will give the gift of Lex.
Well, not really since he is, after all, a fictional character, but we do have Michael Rosenbaum, one of the best young actors of our time (in our humble opinion). We thought, why not offer a challenge to some of these other shows who have devoted fanbases (that's right Battlestar and Buffy I'm talking to you!) and see whose fans can really deliver the goods (in this case, pencils).
So here is the skinny:
For every box of environmentally friendly pencils you buy at Unitedhollywood.com, your name will be entered into an e-raffle. We will then pick a winner at random and they will receive at phone call from Michael Rosenbaum thanking them for their support of both the cause and the show.
That is right, Lex Luthor will call you directly! Make sure you list SMALLVILLE as the show you are supporting when you click on the icon.
So, Craig, please spread the word far and wide.....and thank you all for your continued support and good wishes. We are all in this together.
Al Gough
First off, I just had a new idea for the pencils campaign -- when you put down what show or writer you support? Put your own name down. After all, you're the generation of writers who are going to benefit from this. It makes perfect sense. Go 'head. Support yourself; that's what you're really doing anyway.And I think this applies not only to the future generation of writers, but to the future generation of actors, directors, set dressers, location scouts, caterers, costume designers, grips, everyone. The companies' unfair and greedy proposals threaten ALL of us in the industry. Let's send that message loud and clear.

Monkey Business closing – a loss
Since I moved to Chestnut Hill fifteen years ago, I've gone to Monkey Business often, not so much to find bargains as to go on an archeological dig of the community closet. Raucous Christmas sweaters, Talbot suits that have sat through a hundred board meetings and filmy peignoirs that went on honeymoons and Prozac.
Monkey Business' location, hidden away on a parking lot, invisible to the throngs on the Avenue, added to its allure as did the witty window displays featuring a menagerie of toy monkeys – never for sale. Hearing that they were closing, I went to say goodbye to the volunteers who have run the shop for decades. These gracious ladies always welcomed me warmly whether I was "just looking" or asking their candid opinion about a sequined bolero jacket.
I added my name and comments to a book of well-wishers and made a final victory lap of the store. I didn't need anything but wanted to make one last purchase to express my sympathy. A form-fitting dress that was all wrong for my figure but totally right for my inner teenager, screamed, "Take me home. Please." As I paid for it at the counter, the cashier called my attention to a basket of the shop's famous stuffed monkeys.
"They're only a dollar," she said. I picked one up, then put it down. The sadness in its glass eyes was heart-wrenching. Even the monkeys seemed to know. The thrift shop's closing is a great loss for Chestnut Hill.

Losing to the dogs
While taking a walk with my brother across Pastorius Park this morning I was tackled by two galloping dogs. After picking myself up, I suggested to the ladies who apparently owned the dogs that they might keep them under control. One owner responded that this park was for dogs.
Several years ago my wife had a similar experience as she was walking with a young grandchild across Pastorius Park. When she pointed out to the leaping and licking dog's owner that this was threatening to her grandchild, he answered that his dog was just a young child too.
The score so far is Dog Owners: 2, the Brown family: 0.

Suggestions other than raising taxes
One apparent option to fund the school budget deficit is to tax those that pay their taxes, like most 19118 residents. Frankly, I hate writing checks, but I know that my wife will indeed do so – still it's painful.
It's doubtful that we will even consider a taxpayer's revolt, so maybe they chose the right patsy. We are to swallow a theoretical valuation somehow based upon advertised prices? I'd rather take a buyout, but they won't be offering any of that. Face it folks we don't have the option of selling at a reasonable price and moving.
There are two other viable options that admittedly will likely not see the light of day:
One: The school system should be forced to live within available means. They have already made the case to close schools as there no longer is the student population to fill them. Also, it has been repeatedly shown that the administrators do very little in delivering education. Somehow they could find the $94 million without firing teachers in the needed schools if that was their only option.
Two: Collect the $514 million owed from back taxes. I frankly don't care how they do it. If they don't have the stomach for it, then sell the receivables. You need less than 25 cents on the dollar to make the budget. Again it would work, if that was their only option.
The Inquirer tried to make a case to protect the "genuinely destitute property owners," so I Googled "destitute" and found "without subsidence, lacking…shelter." Well it appears even some of the "genuinely destitute" have some form of shelter, and should therefore pay taxes on it. If you can do so, make a case for the exceptions, but don't use it as a model for over a hundred thousand scofflaws.

Parking Authority means business
I met a friend for an hour at the Coffee Company. We both parked in the lot behind Cosimo's.
I saw the Parking Kiosk and debated it, but remembered hearing that the system was ironing out its kinks yet. They were not writing tickets yet.
The attendant was not in his booth at that time, so there was no one to ask for sure.
I did not pay.
When we came out we both had tickets for $26.
Our fault. To make matters worse I told a woman I saw at the kiosk that they were not enforcing the parking yet. To her, if she reads this, I offer my apologies.
I am not trying to provoke controversy. The Chestnut Hill Parking Foundation worked long and hard deciding what to do. I'd rather pay a little fee of 50 cents an hour and have well-maintained, well-lit parking lots than have the lots decay and become unsafe.
I am merely telling the public that the Parking Authority is now ticketing in the lots.
I hope no one else has to pay an extra $26 for his cup of coffee.

Facebook 'Friends' Its City, Pays for Officer
Company Gives No-Strings-Attached Gift to Menlo Park, Calif., to Fight Truancy and Help Businesses Plan for Emergencies
MENLO PARK, Calif.—On a recent afternoon, police officer Mary Ferguson visited the home of a teenager in this Silicon Valley suburb who had been missing school and was on probation.
Officer Ferguson approached the boy's father as part of her rounds and asked if he checks the teen's Facebook page to make sure he's "on the up and up." When the man said he didn't, the officer assured him she did—thanks to a Facebook account she uses as part of her job that doesn't reveal her true identity. "I'll keep my eye on...

I have been working on some more surface patterns when I get a spare minute and my main website, Bettyjoy, should be updated in the next few days with lots of new patterns. I find pattern designing quite therapeutic and would love to have the opportunity to make it part of my professional career. I guess I have a bit of a way to go in honing my style, but when I see the work I was doing in Illustrator 2 or 3 years ago, this is a BIG step forwards. So, here is hoping that one day you will see my patterns on stationery and fabric across the country!
If you see my work and you would like to commission or buy any of my designs, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Pediatrician combines stethoscopes with sneakers
Patients might notice her Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers before they notice her stethoscope, but that's perfectly fine with Anne Lombardi, M.D., a pediatrician at Sentara Halifax Pediatrics. Dr. Lombardi is at ease marching to the beat of her own drum, and she believes it allows her to connect with her young patients.
"I don't know that I ever completely grew up," says Dr. Lombardi, "but I'm okay with being a little unconventional and I believe being your unique self is important."
Dr. Lombardi may be young at heart, but she has brought with her excellent experience as a physician in some of the nation's largest children's healthcare facilities. Dr. Lombardi completed her pediatric residency at Baylor College of Medicine and trained at Texas Children's Hospital before moving on to work at Cincinnati Children's Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. She earned her medical degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine.
Dr. Lombardi is very close with her mother, brothers and their families who live in Richmond. She chose to come to South Boston to be closer to her family and focus on how she was practicing medicine.
"I wanted to work with people whose goal was taking the best possible care of children and their families because doing that is the right thing to do," she says. "I visited Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital before Sentara Halifax Pediatrics existed. Everyone I met was enthusiastic about building an accessible practice that provides high-quality pediatric medicine. I knew I wanted to be part of that effort."
One area of pediatrics and children's health which Dr. Lombardi finds particularly engaging is vaccination. She believes vaccinating children and promoting vaccination is very important.
"A lot of people don't realize that vaccine-preventable diseases still occur in the United States and that these illnesses can be severe," she says. "In my previous jobs, I cared for several previously healthy children that died or were permanently disabled as a result of vaccine-preventable diseases. I have full faith in the efficacy and safety of the vaccination schedule set by the Centers for Disease Control."
When she's not caring for young residents of our community, Dr. Lombardi enjoys running, biking and most things that take her outdoors. She enjoys crafts, even dabbling in woodworking, and she recently began taking piano lessons.
"I'm very happy I joined Sentara Halifax Pediatrics," Dr. Lombardi says. "I work with a great group of people, and everyone – providers, nurses and staff – are excited about building the practice and bringing the highest quality care to the children of our community."

This question already has an answer here:
- What is moiré? How can we avoid it? 4 answers
The following is a photo of a game console 3DS, although the 3D is turned off:
There is "fish nest" artifacts, and sometimes the lines even curve on some photos. iPhotos on a Mac seems to try to minimize its effect, but if the window is being resized, the fish nest can change shape along the way of the resize, and then its effect is minimized once the resizing is done.
Is there a name for such artifacts, and are there ways to avoid it and/or correct it if that's the only photo you have?

On Wednesday, July 9th, HiTel FCU opened a new Fort Branch inside of the Downtown Walmart on Fort Street Mall. Shoppers were eager to see the new two story retail store, and flooded the isles – customers were literally shoulder to shoulder.
A few HiTel FCU employees were set up right on the mall with both 93.9 the Jamz and Island 98.5 giving away a lot of cool things. The credit union brought their wheel and winners who landed on the one lucky spot received a prize of their choice – a glass cup with a mini Yoko or mini Kalea doll, a shopping cart full of goodies or a HiTel FCU money bag. There was also a entry box to win a iPad mini and Ni'ihau shell necklaces.
It was only one entry per person, however, anyone who opened a checking account with $100 would get three entries or $500 would get 20 entries. Winners will be announced all throughout the month of August!
On Thursday July 10th, Pastor John from Hope Chapel blessed our branch to protect and bring good fortune to both the branch and staff. Fort Branch is our fourth Walmart Branch here on Oahu. Our employees are excited in servicing all your money needs!

Reality Check: 'Roo Burger at Slater's 50/50
Reviews of fast food burgers and a look at how the real life version compares to the advertised beauty shot.
Slater's 50/50 isn't one to hold back with their monthly burger specials. I've seen everything from burgers speared with celery sticks, to patties wrapped up in a flour tortilla with nacho fixings and deep-fried, chalupa-style. This month's creation isn't just no exception, it's probably the California-based chain's most out-there burger yet.
During September, you can try The 'Roo ($14.95-$18.95), a 50/50 blend of bacon and kangaroo on a honey wheat bun. The patty (1/3-, 1/2-, or a full pound) sits on mixed baby greens and radish slices, and is topped with bacon, brie, huckleberry ketchup, and crushed macadamia ricotta.
If you're an A.A. Milne fan, it's difficult not to picture the adorable Winnie the Pooh character while your molars chomp down on the ground kangaroo patty, but it's worth the momentary emotional pain, because not only is kangaroo meat low in fat, it's also pretty delicious. When mixed with bacon, it tastes like an extra-lean fillet with smoky undertones. I ordered mine medium (mostly because of the presence of raw bacon), but I'd advocate for medium-rare to preserve as much moisture as possible.
The real-life burger bears a lot of resemblance to the promo photo, but the promo looks like it was constructed with mayo instead of the crushed macadamia ricotta. That actually wouldn't be a bad way to go. When you've got such a lean patty, you really have to consciously build around it, adding creamy components to fill in the gap. The melted brie is a good start, but my burger didn't have enough of it to make an impact, and the macadamia-ricotta was more dry and crumbly than smooth and creamy.
With so many ingredients, it's hard not to think about the burger's design, specifically, why certain elements were chosen over others. For the most part, I think the construction is done well, with two main exceptions: the bacon and the bun. I'd nix the bacon all together—the thick-cut strips were chewy and didn't make a noticeable improvement to the overall flavor of the burger—and convert those calories for a squirt of mayo. Plain, garlic aioli, or Baconnaise would all be great. Instead of the honey-wheat bun, I'd go with something less obtrusive and more squishy, like brioche.
If you have strong feelings against ketchup like I do, let me assure you that the huckleberry ketchup is a vital, and delicious, ingredient. It's also really just jam; if there was more than one molecule of tomato paste or vinegar, I couldn't taste it. The sweet tinge and mild acidity of the berries contrast nicely with the salty patty and bacon strips, and help to bring the many components together. If anything, you'll need some extra on the side.
As a monthly special, The 'Roo burger is a smart addition to the Slater's 50/50 menu. It might not fulfill cravings for a full-fat burger, but it is a worthy diversion from your typical routine if you don't mind dropping $14.95 for the experiment for a 1/3-pound burger, served à la carte.
