Emperor Palpatine Soundboard
There is a great disturbance in the Force...read
In the war-weary last days of the Galactic Republic, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine declared a New Order of government meant to sweep away the injustices and inefficiencies of its predecessor. He promised that the First Galactic Empire, under his rule, would usher in a thousand years of peace.
Rather than offer the people of the galaxy newfound hope, the Empire instead became a tyrannical regime. The rule of the people was pulled away from the Senate, and instead given to appointed regional governors.
Accompanying the growth of the Empire was a huge military buildup. The clone troopers of the Republic became the stormtroopers of the Empire. The Imperial starfleet of Star Destroyers and TIE fighters maintained order in the galaxy. The Emperor hoped that fear of the Death Star's power would crush any thoughts of rebellion.
Darth Sidious, the secret Sith identity of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, relished his victory against the Jedi and the Republic. He swept away the chaos of the Clone Wars to impose his new order, a return of Sith tyranny.
Darth Vader embodied the cruel, heartless nature of the Empire. Encased in dark armor, Vader served as the Emperor's emissary, and commanded a fleet of Imperial warships.
An highly placed Imperial governor, Tarkin was given command of the Outer Rim Territories and oversight of the Death Star operation. He used the battle station to ruthlessly destroy the planet Alderaan in his bid to find the location of the hidden Rebel base.
Stormtroopers are the faceless enforcers of the Galactic Empire. Their white armored forms fill garrisons scattered throughout the galaxy, an imposing image meant to cow any resistance.
The ultimate weapon of the Empire meant to suppress any rebellion through fear of force, the Death Star was capable of destroying entire planets. When it became active, the Emperor dissolved the Imperial Senate, turning over control of the galaxy to his regional governors.

Back in town!
Good afternoon dear audience. I am just now returned from a sweet escape from being indoors for simply ages. . . . I have been looking forward to this for a couple of weeks now; and well it was just great! The place over there at Southgate was packed: like a sardine can! I nearly stopped in my tracks when I spied how overflowing the place was ~ but after spying a spot where I could take a seat, I felt confident of being able to stay a while, and enjoy just being out! There were bundles and bundles of people! I couldn't think what was different apart from the time of year but that really wasn't significant so I just didn't have an answer how come it was so packed! It was for example, just like that around Christmas, or Easter, or when the schools were on holidays etc. Yet I don't think anything like that is currently happening. It just a coincidence that today just about everyone in town was over there at Southgate! I took a little time to figure out what to order,... (more)

SOURCE Spinnaker Support
DENVER, Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Spinnaker Support's philosophy and methods for the delivery of third-party maintenance services, which includes concepts of strict intellectual property protection, individual client fixes, and services delivered solely in client controlled environments, appears to have been validated by a recent federal court decision.
On February 13, 2014, the U.S. District Court in Las Vegas entered an order granting Oracle's motion for summary judgment against Rimini Street, Inc. (Case 2:10-cv-00106-LRH-PAL Document 474). U.S. District Court judge Larry R. Hicks ruled that third-party software support provider Rimini Street, Inc. infringed Oracle's copyrights by making unauthorized copies of certain Oracle licensed products.
Although this recent court decision was limited to four specific Rimini Street customers, the implications are far reaching. The judgment potentially affects all Rimini Street customers that have the same or similar license agreements with Oracle.
Responding to questions about the U.S. District Court's order, Spinnaker Support's CEO and Managing Principal Matt Stava stated, "Spinnaker Support's management team has worked diligently to implement and preserve the integrity of our software maintenance delivery model that protects the intellectual property rights of our customers and third-party software publishers, including Oracle." Mr. Stava further commented, "Spinnaker Support faces no such litigation due to its commitment to protecting the intellectual property rights of all parties involved in a third-party maintenance relationship."
The improper actions outlined in the February 13, 2014 summary judgment cannot be found in Spinnaker Support's practices for delivering third-party maintenance. As a global market leader for SAP, JD Edwards, and Siebel third-party maintenance, Spinnaker Support adheres to very strict IP policies and procedures, all of which are explicitly documented, communicated with clients, and reviewed internally prior to any client engagement.
"Spinnaker Support holds the IP of software vendors and their client organizations in high regard," continued Stava. "We go through a painstaking process to ensure adherence to the highest standards as an organization. We would never take a shortcut to providing our services that would put either a client or our own company in jeopardy."

About Lawn & Utility Carts
When you need to move outdoor supplies, lawn and garden tools or yard debris from one area to another, lawn and gardening carts can save you multiple trips and time. With sturdy construction, lawn carts can last a long time and take on heavy duty transportation.
The loading areas on these utility carts can differ as some are sloped, flatbed or two-tiered. And while wheelbarrows typically have one wheel and two bracing legs to help keep them stationary when unmanned, most utility and garden carts have four wheels to offer more stability in transport.
Dump carts help you move and dispose of debris and bulky items more easily. Some have capacities of up to 600 pounds and have a mechanism for balanced dumping and quick unloading, saving you from straining your back.
If you're simply looking to repair your utility cart Ace has a selection of lawn cart wheels and cart handles too. Or if you could use some more helpful tips, check out our section on lawn and garden maintenance. Either way, Ace has got you covered.

Nats Spring Training Preview: The Outfield
The Washington Nationals are 23 days away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Viera Beach for the commencement of spring training. Position players will follow on February 18. That being said, we begin out Spring Training Series preview with the Outfield.
The outfield is likely one of the most set areas of the Washington Nationals 2014 roster.
Projected Starters: LF: Bryce Harper, CF: Denard Span, RF: Jayson Werth
Reserves: Nate McLouth, Scott Hairston, Tyler Moore
In the Wings: Brian Goodwin, Eury Perez, Jeff Kobernus, Michael Taylor, and Steve Souza
Departed: Chris Brown
Don't look for any change in the original three starters. Bruce Harper and Jayson Werth will anchor the corners and Denard Span will patrol the middle. The Nats are hoping for a repeat of production from Werth, at least from the second half of the 2013 season. Werth returned to the lineup from a 2012 broken wrist injury and responded with a strong second half and ended the 2013 season batting .318 with a .532 slugging percentage and a .398 on base percentage. Werth added 24 doubles, 25 home runs, and 82 RBI in 129 games. The Nats surged at the end of the season, but fell short on a rally for the playoffs. Werth was a big part of that surge. The Nats will be looking for the thirty-four year old right fielder to maintain that 2013 momentum.
Harper had an off-2013 season mostly due to playing injured for nearly four months. It cost him 31 games starting on May 26. He missed an additional 10 games in September with a sore hip. Despite those missed games, Harper still added 20 doubles, 24 home runs, had a .468 slugging percentage with a .368 on base percentage in 119 games. Imagine what damage Harper could provide if he can stay healthy. That's a big question mark. Harper did have knee surgery in the off-season but, according to Nats GM Mike Rizzo, Harper is expected to be fully healthy for spring training. If Harper can maintain health in 2014, we expect big production from the left fielder.
Span's issue since being in Washington is consistency. Toward the end of the 2013 season, Span put together an impressive 29 game hitting streak. However, in the first half of the season, as the Nats premier lead off hitter, Span posted just a .316 on base percentage and batted .258. He struggled in adjusting to National League pitching. Span turned it on the second half of the season, lifting his second half batting average to .302 and on base percentage to .337. For confidence purposes, it will be critical for Span to get off to a decent start in 2014, offensively. Defensively, Span was not a problem, putting together excellent defense as expected. Span will be owed $6.5 million in 2014. It will likely be his last season in DC.
Depth wise, the Nationals were willing to spend to upgrade the depth in the outfield, after a significant drop in production from 2012. They did that by spending starting money on former Oriole starting outfield Nate McLouth. The Nats handed McLouth a $10.5 million deal for two years. McLouth will serve as the primary fourth outfielder and the premier lefty off the bench. McLouth had an good 2013 season in Baltimore, batting .258 with a .329 on base percentage. He added 31 doubles, 4 triples, and 12 home runs to the Baltimore offense. The speedy left-hander also swiped 30 bases in 2013. If Span struggles, he could be supplanted by McLouth. Regardless, the Nationals are insistent upon keeping the starting outfield fresh and healthy, which means plenty of plate appearances for McLouth. That's why the Nationals were willing to spend bigger bucks for outfield depth. Given the Nats struggles with consistent health in the outfield the past two seasons and the poor bench production in 2013, at least on paper, the McLouth signing looks well warranted.
Tyler Moore will serve a depth role, at least initially, for the Nationals. He will provide depth in the outfield and depth at first base. Despite a down 2013 season, the Nationals are hopeful that Moore will return to 2012 production. They were a stark difference. In 2012, Moore impressed the Nats' brass by batting .263 with 10 home runs and a .840 OPS. However, his production dropped in 2013, batting just .222 with 4 home runs and a .607 OPS. Still, the Nats brass believe that Moore's actual capabilities reflect more in the 2012 production. He is still highly regarded as a potential replacement at first base when Adam LaRoche will likely depart after this season. The prospects were elevated in the off-season when the Nats released former first rounder 1B Chris Marrero.
Scott Hairston added to the Nats' 2013 bench woes. Hairston struggled with a .224 batting average and a .246 slugging percentage and a .379 OPS. In 58 plate appearances, Hairston provided just five extra-base hits. Adding to the woes, he fanned 19 times while forcing just 2 walks. Over his career though, Hairston has proved to be a reliable pinch hitter. We suspect that Hairston will be on the 2014 roster as bench depth and will put up better numbers than his poor 2013 season.
Eury Perez could see time in DC if the Nats outfield can't stay healthy. The 23 year old right handed batter hit .300 at AAA last season with a .758 OPS. He added 18 doubles, 5 triples, and 7 home runs. He swiped 23 bases for Syracuse. Perez is blocked due to the current roster. he will likely begin his 2014 season back at Syracuse. Steve Souza had an excellent 2013 season at AA Harrisburg ending the year hitting .297 with a .396 on base percentage and a 548 slugging percentage. Souza smacked 15 homers and added 22 stolen bases. The Nats like his ability to hit for power, average, and he combined that with good speed. In 11 games at the Arizona Fall League, Souza batted .357 with 2 doubles, a home run, and 8 run driven in through 11 games.
Brian Goodwin is the top outfield prospect for the Nationals. The Nats are hopeful that Goodwin could be ready to start in center field in 2015, after the expiration of Span's contract. In 2013, he improved his hitting with a .252 batting average with 10 homers. He led the Nats minor league system with 11 triples. Consistency at the plate will be critical for his development in 2014. He has to cut down on fanning at the plate. Last season he racked up 121 strikeouts over 457 plate appearances. In the Arizona Fall League, Goodwin batted .296 with 4 doubles, a triple, 2 homers,a nd 12 RBI in 19 games. Baseball America ranks Goodwin as the third top prospect in the system. He needs to concentrate on cutting down the strikeouts and playing better defense in 2014.

If there is one thing to say about Diglett, it's that it follows in its evolution Dugtrio's footsteps. They both have pathetic defenses and an average Attack stat, but what makes them unique is Arena Trap. In Little Cup, Diglett is a threat that must certainly be watched out for. While it seems that Diglett lacks enough Attack to function as a revenge killer, don't let this fool you, as many Pokemon in Little Cup are not too defensively oriented. With powerful moves and absolutely amazing Speed, Diglett is definitely a unique Little Cup Pokemon.
While Diglett is tailored to be a successful revenge killer, it functions as a very effective lead as well. The qualities that make it a successful lead include Arena Trap (which gives it solid anti-lead capabilities), high Attack and Speed stats, powerful priority, and access to Stealth Rock. Arena Trap is particularly important, since it it stops your opponent from switching out of a bad lead match up.
Diglett is one of the most successful Stealth Rock leads in Little Cup, as its extraordinary Speed allows it to outpace nearly every lead outside of Voltorb, meaning it will almost always move first. Earthquake is Diglett's most powerful move and cannot be ignored on any set. The choice between Shadow Claw and Sucker Punch depends on your personal preference, as they both have their positive and negative points. Shadow Claw allows Diglett to deal with Substituting Ghost-types, such as Drifloon, all of the time, which Sucker Punch can't accomplish. Sucker Punch, however, is the strongest priority move in the game (tying with ExtremeSpeed), and it is necessary to pick off Focus Sashes and priority-using leads. Finally, Protect is a must in Diglett's fourth move slot. Lacking Protect will allow Fake Out leads like Meowth and Buneary to render Diglett's Focus Sash useless and defeat it after that with their STAB Returns.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
When equipped with a Life Orb or Focus Sash, as opposed to Choice Band, Diglett is able to freely use all four of its deadly moves. This set can really threaten the Little Cup metagame, as Diglett is one of the best revenge killers available.
The main point that makes this set different from the others is the presence of Substitute. In the process of revenge killing, Diglett may sometimes manage to switch into a Choiced Electric-type move, so it can set up a Substitute for free and finish off the foe with the appropriate attack. Earthquake is Diglett's main STAB attack. Sucker Punch provides Diglett with a useful priority move that helps against Choice Scarfed foes that can OHKO Diglett. Note that if Diglett does have a Substitute up, and your opponent is faster than it and breaks Diglett's Substitute, you can almost be sure that it is Scarfed, a fact that can be exploited by the rest of your team. Next, Hidden Power Ice is necessary to combat Gligar; without it, Gligar will wall this set all day long, while able to launch Earthquakes that will OHKO Diglett instantly. Hidden Power Ice is also Diglett's best option (besides Aerial Ace) to hit Grass-types that resist Earthquake for super effective damage. If Substitute is not preferable, you may choose to use a Focus Sash as well. In this case, it is recommended that you use either Rock Slide or Shadow Claw for a broader range of attacking options.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Diglett is a prevalent and terrorizing force in Little Cup, as it can easily trap and dispatch of its opponents thanks to Arena Trap. Add a series of particularly powerful moves to the mix, and Diglett becomes one of the best revenge killers in Little Cup, able to OHKO a variety of Pokemon.
Earthquake is Diglett's most powerful attack. Even if it seems to lack the Attack stat to do much damage, a STAB Earthquake can actually strip off large amounts of health from anything that is not resistant or immune to it. Hidden Power Ice may seem odd on Diglett at first glance, but in fact, it is Diglett's only way to deal massive damage to Gligar, while also hitting other Grass-types that resist Earthquake for super effective damage. Sucker Punch is Diglett's best bet against Ghost-types, particularly Choiced ones like Gastly. Even if Diglett is already fast, Sucker Punch's priority can help it out against faster opponents and other users of priority attacks. The last moveslot has two interesting options. Shadow Claw is mainly used to keep Ghost-types from setting up against Sucker Punch, such as Drifloon and Gastly. On the other hand, Rock Slide can also be used to provide near perfect coverage alongside Earthquake (only resisted by Bronzor and Baltoy) and hit most Flying-types, such as Mantyke and Taillow, for super effective damage.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Diglett doesn't have too many other useful options to use, as its movepool is rather limited. Pursuit can be used to trap Levitating Ghost- or Psychic-types that try to avoid Diglett's Arena Trap, and Aerial Ace can be used to hit Grass-types.
Checks and Counters
Diglett can be easily dealt with by having a physically defensive Pokemon, particularly Bronzor, Gligar, or Phanpy. The aforementioned Pokemon are capable of taking several hits from Diglett and return with their STAB attacks. Bronzor is Diglett's best counter, since it has Levitate and takes pathetic damage from any of its other moves.
Substitute-using Ghost-types, like Drifloon and Gastly, are also solid counters if Diglett lacks Shadow Claw. They can set up a Substitute as Diglett attempts to Sucker Punch them, allowing them to finish off Diglett with Shadow Ball safely.
Grass-types like Paras and Snover can take Diglett's Earthquake and OHKO it back with their STAB Grass-type (or Ice-type in Snover's case) moves. Hidden Power Ice can hurt them, but they are not wounded too badly. However, Paras and Snover should watch out for Rock Slide.
Pokemon that are faster than Diglett spell trouble, because even moderately powered attacks can finish it off instantly. Examples of these are Choice Scarf Machop, Staryu, and Mankey, assuming Diglett is not Scarfed as well.

Feeding America's Children, Promoting Healthy Eating Habits
Child Nutrition Employee Appreciation Week is May 1 – 5, 2006
Child nutrition employees follow numerous federal, state and local guidelines to ensure safe and healthy meals are available in schools. They use their creativity to make the cafeteria a fun and welcoming place on special occasions and all year long. In administering the National School Lunch Program at the local level, they are responsible for an income verification program second in its scope only to the IRS's federal income tax program. Child nutrition professionals also provide nutrition-awareness to students, as well as healthy catering services to their communities. They are trained sanitation and food safety experts and run financially self-sufficient programs. Most of all, they perform their jobs each day because they care passionately about the children they serve.
The importance and nutritional value of school meals are well documented. For many children, school lunch will be the most important meal of their day. Children depend upon their school lunch for 1/3 to 1/2 of their daily nutritional intake. The U.S. Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, found that "school meals are healthy and children who eat school meals consume more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and dairy items than children who do not eat school meals."
In a recent study, school nutrition professionals provided specific examples of the healthy lunch changes that were implemented this school year. Among the most popular responses were:
Implementing wellness plans that will, in turn, spark a significant number of healthy changes;

Video: FoE US on Democracy Now!
Kate Horner from Friends of the Earth US provides analysis of the climate negotiations on Democracy Now!
Call on the US to pay their climate debt
Todd Stern, the US Special Envoy for Climate Change doesn't think rich nations owe a climate debt.
Speaking at a press conference about the USA's role in creating climate change he said:
"The sense of guilt or culpability or reparations, I just categorically reject that."
Instead he wants the poorest subsistence farmer in Africa to have the same responsibility for tackling climate change as an American with a
private jet.
With President Obama, the US has a unique opportunity to take the lead on tackling climate change. But Stern is threatening Obama's chances.
Call on Todd Stern to think again
Meanwhile at the climate talks...
The EU were discussing reductions targets today and so Friends of the Earth greeted delegates with a call for EU leaders to UP their targets to 40%.
We also called on our cyberactivists to email the Canadian Prime Minister to urge the Canadians to up their targets after being voted Fossil of the Day the day before.
Bringing messages to Copenhagen - by bike
Amid the chaos of the conference centre a press conference was held by Kim Nguyen who had cycled from Australia all the way to the climate conference collecting messages for delegates on the way.
Kim's journey began in East Timor where the people he met people had first hand experience of the devastating effects of climate change.
"For three years the seasonal rains never came and then one year they came all at once and were deluged. The few crops they have were destroyed" he said.
He met people in the Gobi desert who told him that every year the desert expands and more and more lakes and rivers dry up.
It was in the same desert that he saw a working example of renewable energy at a local level.
"All the tents they lived in had solar panels on the top."
Throughout his travels he collected messages for the world leaders at the climate summit in video, photo, illustrations and letters.
He is now trying to deliver those messages to the people in the COP15 summit who are deciding on their futures.
A day at the Klimaforum
Today Friends of the Earth took part in a number of events at the Kilmaforum - the civil society event in Copenhagen. The day began with a briefing from Young Friends of the Earth and ended with the first day of the People's Tribunal on Ecological Debt and Climate Justice.
In recognition of 'young and future generations day' at the climate conference, the daily briefing in the Klimaforum - the civil society summit - was carried out by members of Young Friends of the Earth and other young people attending the summit.
There are around a thousand young people following the negotiations in Copenhagen and the role youth can play in these negotiations is now being formally recognised.
The panel was split into regions and Mauro Ramos from Friends of the Earth Uruguay talked about the position of Latin America, particularly when it comes to climate debt.
Firstly he spoke about Bolivia and the strong position they have taken in the region.
"They are one of the few countries that propose to maintain and preserve oil reserves in their territories"
He talked about the discussions around climate debt and how it can be paid; two options being direct payments to countries and technology transfers from developing country to non developing country.
On the subject of renewable energy he was positive but cautious:
"Many private companies are seeking new business opportunities. We say it's important to keep this energy at the reach of local people."
He ended by calling on negotiators to listen to indigenous people. "Native populations are not heard… these people are totally forgotten. We have to bear them in mind for a fair world."
the feminist struggle
The first talk of the afternoon was 'feminists struggling against climate change and the privatisation of the environment' organised by the World March of Women and supported by Friends of the Earth International.
Meena Raman from Friends of the Earth Malaysia began by updating us on the climate talks from the perspective of developing countries and women.
She said how great it was to be at the Klimaforum," a place of passion, inspiration, spirit and hope and justice" and went on to say how women's closeness to the earth mean they are at the forefront of the climate struggle:
"They see what contamination does their bodies, what pollution does their children."
She spoke with passion detailing the spin the developed countries are putting on the talks.
"They say there needs to be a new treaty to replace Kyoto which runs out in 2012. It doesn't."
She criticised the Danish government for their back room talks and other countries for invoking intellectual property rights when it comes to green technology transfer.
"These same rights were used to deny Africans life saving AIDS drugs" she said.
It's hard to get a crowd fired up on the finer points of the Kyoto Treaty yet Meena had no problem in generating whoops, sighs and cheers.
Thuli Mahama from Friends of the Earth Swaziland spoke in advance of the event saying the face of poverty is always that of a woman or a malnourished child yet these same people are adapting without attending any conferences."
They have no choice but to find ways to survive:
"In Swaziland some women scrape some sand from the ground and if they wait long enough, perhaps two hours, a small pool of water may appear. This is how women are adapting to climate change" she said.
ecological debt and climate justice
As feminist struggles continued, over the corridor, the 'People's tribunal on ecological debt and climate justice' was taking place. There, a panel including Angela Navarro one of the Bolivian negotiators, the author Naomi Klein and Ricardo Navarro from Friends of the Earth El Salvador gave their thoughts on the pursuit of climate debt and reparations - an essential element to climate justice.
Angela Navarro began by talking about the kind of climate agreement Bolivia wants. One that takes into account the fact that developed countries and their pursuit of ever greater profits caused the mess that we're in today.
"Developed countries have forgotten what a healthy relationship is with Mother Earth. In the south we are still listening to her" she said.
She then went on to offer developed countries capacity building on being more in tuned with the earth.
Finally she ended with some news on the negotiations:
"Our President is preparing a surprise for us. We need your help to make this process inclusive from the bottom up. Thirty nations don't have a right to impose a solution"
Having spent a few days in the convention centre where the official climate talks are taking place, Naomi Klein observed that the talks resembled "the final scrabble for the remaining resources of a planet in peril"
She gave encouragement to the movement calling for reparations comparing them to the people who asked for reparations for the slave trade:
"They will laugh until there is a movement... We are that movement."
Finally it was Ricardo Navarro's turn.
He spoke of a new paradigm of development that needs to take place where it's not the economists who have the final word. He urged people to resist any project that contributes to climate change and transform the system; "small scale agriculture and energy sovereignty is part of the solution."
Naomi Klein had the last word when she said:
"A common phrase in American is 'let's press the restart button.' The earth doesn't have a restart button."

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition in which the flow of air pauses or decreases during breathing while you are asleep because the airway has become narrowed, blocked, or floppy.
A pause in breathing is called an apnea episode. A decrease in airflow during breathing is called a hypopnea episode. Almost everyone has brief apnea episodes while they sleep.
This article discusses obstructive sleep apnea in adults.
Sleep apnea - obstructive; Apnea - obstructive sleep apnea syndrome; Sleep-disordered breathing; OSA
All of the muscles in your body become more relaxed during sleep. This includes the muscles that help keep the airway open and allow air to flow into the lungs.
Normally, the upper throat still remains open enough during sleep to let air pass by. However, some people have a narrower throat area. When the muscles in their upper throat relax during sleep, their breathing can stop for a period of time (often more than 10 seconds). This is called apnea.
The snoring in people with obstructive sleep apnea is caused by the air trying to squeeze through the narrowed or blocked airway. However, everyone who snores does not have sleep apnea. Other factors that may also increase your risk include:
Sleeping on the back also increases sleep apnea episodes.
A person who has obstructive sleep apnea often is not aware of the apnea episodes during the night. Often, family members witness the periods of apnea.
A person with obstructive sleep apnea usually begins snoring heavily soon after falling asleep. Often the snoring gets louder. The snoring is then interrupted by a long silent period during which there is no breathing. This is followed by a loud snort and gasp, as the person attempts to breathe. This pattern repeats.
Many people wake up unrefreshed in the morning and feel sleepy or drowsy throughout the day. This is called excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS).
People with sleep apnea may:
Problems that may occur with this condition:
The health care provider will perform a complete history and physical exam. This will involve carefully checking your mouth, neck, and throat. You may be given a survey that asks a series of questions about daytime sleepiness, sleep quality, and bedtime habits.
A sleep study
(polysomnogram) is used to confirm obstructive sleep apnea.
Other tests that may be performed include:
The goal is to keep the airway open so that breathing does not stop during sleep.
The following lifestyle changes may relieve symptoms of sleep apnea in some people:
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is now the first treatment for obstructive sleep apnea in most people. CPAP is delivered by a machine with a tight-fitting face mask.
Many patients have a hard time sleeping with CPAP therapy. Good follow-up and support from a sleep center can often help overcome any problems in using CPAP. For information on this treatment, see: CPAP
Some patients may need dental devices inserted into the mouth at night to keep the jaw forward.
Surgery may be an option in some cases. This may involve:
Surgery to remove the tonsils and adenoids often cures the condition in children. It does not seem to help most adults.
People with poorly treated sleep apnea often have:
Because of daytime sleepiness, people with sleep apnea have an increased risk of:
With treatment, the symptoms and problems of sleep apnea should be totally corrected.
Untreated obstructive sleep apnea may lead to or worsen heart disease, including:

I never gave any thought to Averna, let alone making cocktails out of it. But after a trip to Huckleberry Bar in Brooklyn, all preconceived notions went the way of Hot Toddys come Easter. This Italian amaro, a blend of herbs, roots and citrus rind, has a distinct caramel note, thanks to the late addition of natural caramel in the distillation process. It works wonders in cocktails. I tried making a cocktail at home, and I'm sure there will be a round two. Try a recipe!

Faux-Fur Vest 34 34
Beautiful, but bulky I so wanted to love and keep this vest. The "fur" is soft, rich, and cozy. It is comfortable and warm. But it was also strangely bulky, with extra fabric around the arm-holes and the shoulders. I looked like an inelegant cave-woman while wearing it. March 25, 2014
Very cool I love this vest because it adds such character to any outfit--a great piece. The faux fur is soft and luxurious. My only complaint is that one of the hook and eye closures tore away the very first time I wore the vest. There's no permanent damage and I can repair it easily, but it is a nuisance. March 18, 2014
best faux fur vest I love this vest! I am 5'7" 130 pounds and the grey medium fits perfectly. The faux fur is so soft and pretty. Such a good purchase! March 13, 2014
Keeps coming open I love the shaping and beautiful grey fur look, but this vest keeps opening. I don't know if this can be fixed by bending the hook a little, but I know it is not fit because it happened on the one that was too large as well as the one that fit snugly (albeit more on the fitted one). If I really needed this vest, I would have kept it anyway because it looks really nice, with well hidden hook and eye closure and such good shaping. If you'll wear it open, I wouldn't hesitate! February 8, 2014
Great quality for a great price I absolutely love this vest. Its not too expensive, but looks like it is very high quality. The length is perfect- a little longer so it can also be worn with leggings. February 4, 2014
Super Cute Great faux fur vest that goes well with a lot of things in my winter wardrobe. I have gotten several compliments on it. Great purchase and its a great price too! February 4, 2014

William M. Sumner
That this Annual Report covers an unusually eventful year at the Oriental Institute is evident in the descriptions of research projects, individual scholarship, and activities in the Museum, the Research Archives, the Computer Laboratory, and the Publications Office. The retirement of three faculty members, the recruitment of one faculty replacement, and the final approval of our climate control project by the University of Chicago were among the landmark events of the past twelve months.
Erica Reiner, the John A. Wilson Distinguished Service Professor, retired at the end of January 1996. Erica Reiner came to the Oriental Institute as a Research Assistant on the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary (CAD) in 1952. After receiving her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1955 she was appointed Research Associate (Assistant Professor). In 1957 she became Associate Editor of the CAD and in 1959 she was appointed to the faculty of the Oriental Institute with the rank of Associate Professor. In 1962 she became Editor and in 1973 Editor-in-Charge of the CAD, a title she held until her retirement. She was promoted to Professor in 1965 and to the John A. Wilson professorship in 1973.
Professor Reiner's publications include important linguistic studies of Akkadian and Elamite, but she is perhaps best known for her publications on incantations, planetary omens, and other matters astrological and magical. She has written on historical subjects and also on Mesopotamian literature, particularly poetry--as is well known to those of you who are familiar with her book, Your Thwarts in Pieces, Your Mooring Rope Cut, or her wonderful Ryerson Lecture, "Thirty Pieces of Silver."
However, it is as Editor-in-Charge of the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary that Professor Reiner has firmly placed the stamp of her scholarship on the whole field of Assyriology. She has played a role in the production of every one of the 16 volumes published since the first volume appeared in 1956. As Editor-in-Charge since 1973 she has assured that the dictionary continued to be produced according to the principles and high standards set by the original editorial board. The CAD, which has been funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities since 1976, has always received high critical praise and is a fundamental reference work for all students of ancient Mesopotamian languages, history, and culture.
Professor Reiner has been awarded honorary degrees by the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Leiden; she is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Guggenheim Fellow, and formerly a Member of the Institute of Advanced Studies.
We all wish Erica happiness and contentment in her retirement and hope to see her in the Institute often. May your thwarts remain solid, your mooring rope strong.
Edward F. Wente, Professor of Egyptology, retired at the end of December 1995. Professor Wente received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1959 after several years in Egypt as a Fulbright Exchange Student and Director of the American Research Center in Egypt. He returned to the Oriental Institute in 1959 as a Research Associate (Instructor) and joined the faculty as Assistant Professor in 1963. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1965 and Professor in 1970. He was a member of the staff of the Epigraphic Survey (1959-68) and Field Director in 1972-73. He worked on projects at Medinet Habu, the Khonsu Temple, the tomb of Kheruef in Luxor, and at Beit el-Wali in Nubia. He also served as Acting Chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations (1971, 1986) and as Chair (1975-79). He continues to serve on the Visiting Committee of the Egyptian Department, the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Professor Wente's publications have helped to reshape the way Egyptian history and culture are viewed. His early work, Late Ramesside Letters, is an essential tool for the study of the history of the late Twentieth Dynasty; the challenging texts from the tomb of Kheruef that he translated, with commentary, have increased our understanding of the history of rituals celebrating kingship. His article "Mysticism in Pharaonic Egypt?" raised basic questions about the nature of Egyptian religion and philosophy that have reinvigorated scholarly debate. Professor Wente's most recent book, Letters from Ancient Egypt, has become a standard reference for Egyptian culture. The broad topical scope of Professor Wente's scholarship is also reflected in the diversity of dissertation topics selected by students under his guidance. His students now hold positions on the faculty or staff of many of the leading centers of Egyptological study in the United States. Our best wishes go with Ed in his retirement and we hope to see him in the Institute often.
Lanny D. Bell, Associate Professor of Egyptology, retired at the end of June 1996. Lanny Bell received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1976. For five seasons (1967-74) he was Field Director of the Theban Tomb Project sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania Museum. In 1977 he was appointed Field Director of the Epigraphic Survey with academic rank of Assistant Professor. He remained at Chicago House for twelve years supervising a major campaign of epigraphic recording and conservation work at both Medinet Habu and Luxor Temple. During his tenure as Field Director he did not hesitate to make hard decisions in order to maintain the highest quality for the Luxor Temple drawings despite unanticipated technical problems. He was successful in a vigorous campaign, in collaboration with Carlotta Maher, to raise funds from private, corporate, and government sources to support the work of the Epigraphic Survey. In 1984 he was promoted to Associate Professor and in 1989 he returned to Chicago as a member of the teaching and research faculty.
Professor Bell has published reports on the Theban Tomb Project, on epigraphic methodology, and on Luxor Temple, particularly his article "Luxor Temple and the Cult of the Royal Ka."
We wish Lanny much success in his new role as Egyptologist-at-Large and have no doubt that he will be in great demand as teacher and lecturer. Other notable news of the faculty and staff included: Professor Emeritus Hans Güterbock was awarded the American Oriental Society Medal of Honor, Harry Hoffner was named the John A. Wilson Professor, Martha Roth was promoted to Professor and became the Editor-in-Charge of the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary, and Robert Ritner joined the faculty as Associate Professor of Egyptology. Karen Wilson's title was changed to Oriental Institute Museum Director in recognition of the actual range of duties and responsibilities of her position.
Climate Control Project
The groundbreaking ceremony for our climate control, renovation and expansion project is scheduled for August 15, 1996, with construction to begin immediately. A complete history of the project will be published in the Annual Report for 1996/97. At this time I wish to acknowledge the effort expended by the staff, often above and beyond the call of duty, and the wonderful spirit of cooperation all year long as the museum was prepared for construction to begin. We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to Karen Wilson and every member of the museum staff. I also wish to thank Joe Auclair who has relentlessly bulldogged this project from the moment he arrived last autumn; without his knowledge, his determination, and his negotiating skills, I doubt if we would be breaking ground this summer. As presently scheduled, construction and renovation will require twelve months; after that we will reinstall and reopen the galleries one at a time at approximately six month intervals.
Legacy Campaign
As of June 30th the Legacy Campaign had reached $6.9 million. We are most grateful to all of the donors who made pledges and gifts--large and small--that have enabled us to begin construction this summer. I also wish to express my appreciation to the members of the Legacy Campaign Executive Committee, who have been unstinting in their dedication and have given generously of their time, energy, and talent to the campaign. My heartfelt thanks also to Cynthia Echols and the staff of the Membership and Development Office who have worked diligently, often with short notice, to maintain the pace of the campaign. It is through the tireless effort of the Executive Committee and the Development Office staff that we will succeed in fulfilling the goal of the Legacy Campaign.

Allegations that former scout leader David Watkins committed forcible sodomy on a child has prompted reaction from parents and from the Boy Scouts of America (BSA).
B.S.A released a statement saying; "The abuse of anyone, especially a child, is intolerable and our thoughts and prayers go out to those who may be a victim of this type of reprehensible behavior."
The statement continues; "The behavior included in these allegations runs counter to everything for which the Boy Scouts of America stands. This individual was removed from Scouting in June because the council received allegations of inappropriate behavior which took place outside of the Scouting program. As is directed by Scouting's mandatory reporting policy, council officials proactively notified law enforcement of the allegations, which did not warrant an arrest at that time. However, he was permanently banned from participating in the Scouting program. The BSA seeks to prevent child abuse through a comprehensive program of education, chartered organization leader selection procedures, criminal background and other checks, barriers to abuse and prompt mandatory reporting. Because these allegations are currently under investigation, further questions should be directed to the local authorities."
Allegations, especially those that are sexual in nature, may cause parents to wonder about possible signs that a child has been sexually abused.
"Some sort of behavior of a nature that seems too advanced for your child, that would raise a red flag or information or words that your child knows that seems off for their age," said Aaron Hernandez, Child Advocate of the Sexual Assault Resource Agency.
Experts say boys are less likely to speak on abuse because of social norms.
"As a society there's that big boys don't cry, boys don't talk about their emotions, they're suppose to be strong and be able to protect themselves," said Hernandez.
The investigation is ongoing, and police believe there could be more victims who have yet to come forward.

Bitterly cold air and patches of ice are expected to impact the Rock Hill area Thursday morning, though forecasters predict warmer temperatures will melt most of the ice remaining on York, Chester and Lancaster county roads.
The National Weather Service expects an arctic air mass to continue to hover over the region, jeopardizing health and property and possibly contributing to more black ice on roads.
Police and emergency officials on Wednesday responded to crashes and accidents on several icy streets in Rock Hill some that had been treated with salt brine Tuesday by state and city transportation officials.
After overnight lows in the teens, temperatures are expected to climb into the 30s Thursday afternoon, with gusty winds.
The warmer temperatures are expected to begin melting icy roads, said Doug Outlaw, National Weather Service meteorologist.
Were going to have plenty of sunshine again, he said.
Jeff Linton, another NWS meteorologist, said the main concern for some motorists in Lancaster County was standing ground water that can turn into black ice.
The ice caught forecasters off guard after they released several weather statements Monday and Tuesday that predicted several inches of snow, but contained no mentions of ice.
Slippery surprise
Area snow accumulation was less than predicted, Outlaw said, adding that we expected the snow, but the extent of the slipperiness was a bit of a surprise.
Less than an inch of snow fell in Rock Hill area and Chester County, with Lancaster County receiving between 1 and 2 inches of snow, Linton said.
Meteorologists were only able to predict precipitation amounts, but were unable to account for what might happen once moisture hit the ground, said Bryan McAvoy, a NWS meteorologist.
In a lot of weather events, McAvoy said, the impact of a storm depends on what the snow and ice does on the ground. We forecast whats going to fall.
Weather officials are unsure why the ice developed. Temperatures reached into the 60s Monday before they "bottomed out" on Tuesday, dropping into the 20s and 30s.
It was just a ... set of atmospheric conditions that sets up for a lot of ice, melting and re-freezing, McAvoy said.
Rapid freezing resulted in slippery roads and several traffic accidents, prompting Rock Hill Police to briefly shut down Constitution Boulevard after receiving up to 40 calls from motorists whose cars slipped across the road.
The S.C. Highway Patrol reported more than 40 crashes in both York and Lancaster counties, but no fatalities were reported.
School closings
Schools in all three counties were closed on Wednesday and most are closed Thursday. Clover and Fort Mill schools will open Thursday on a delayed schedule.
School officials have not announced plans for makeup days for Wednesday.
Some school officials noted they may hold off on scheduling makeup days in case Gov. Nikki Haley excuses the districts that were affected statewide.
John Welborn, an S.C. Department of Transportation inspector in Rock Hill, said crews focused their attention Wednesday night on remaining icy spots using a combination of brine and sand.
About 50 personnel were assigned to handle 12-hour shifts starting at 7 a.m. Wednesday. Welborn said that he expects that number to decrease for Thursdays maintenance needs.
Because of limited equipment and supplies, not all local roads were treated on Wednesday, Welborn said. We hit the roads that have the highest amounts of traffic and make sure those have been done first, he said.
Results from the brine applications may vary based on the age and type of asphalt used in the road, he said.
Parts of Celanese Road were slick on Wednesday despite being treated the day before the storm hit. Other intersections near Piedmont Medical Center also were covered in patches of ice on Wednesday morning.

Very Easy Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 days - interviewed at PwC in October 2011.
Interview Details Best way to get in is get referred for a specific position. Do not ask a friend to generally refer you. Nothing will come of it. You need to research and know what position you should apply for. There will be multiple interviews on the phone before an on-site interview. Usually openings are for specific needs so tailor your resume and answers to the job description if you want the job. There are very few generalist openings.
Interview Question – I've never seen anything too crazy asked, but PwC is in a very entrepreneurial state for a big company in advisory right now. If you can't understand that work isn't just dropped in front of you to do and that you have to do things to grow the business and client footprints than it probably isn't a good fit for you. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiation, but if you do negotiate it is directly with the partner you will be working for.

Difficult Interview
I applied through college or university and interviewed at PwC.
Interview Details The PwC hiring and interview process was the most positive of all companies in the MBA campus recruiting program for me. The recruiting managers, junior and senior staff (including directors and partners) were all very friendly and helpful throughout the networking and interview events. The written case interview in the final round was also much more realistic than those at other firms.
Interview Question – PwC Advisory has many groups/teams that specialize in various industries and functions. One important question to be able to answer is, "Why this group over other groups?". As I could have fit into more than one group based on my background, it was difficult to explain why I wanted to join one over the other. Answer Question

Very Difficult Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at PwC in February 2013.
Interview Details 2 rounds: 1st round is mostly behavioral, with 1-2 interviewers and focuses on "what you bring on the table". They pay attention to the behavioral part and your stories, rather than technical skills and cases. People who are personable and demonstrate they are good fit will advance to 2nd round
2nd round is 3 interviewers (1 behavioral - 1 case - 1 "fit"). Case is sent in advance to candidates to prepare, and case questions are given on interview day. If 1st round was on-campus, then 2nd round is mostly held at a main PwC office. Case is hard and industry-agnostic. Interviewers are Directors, MDs, and Partners.
Interview Question – Cannot determine most difficult question - the case was challenging and demanded end-to-end approach, had to deliver solution in no more than 20 mins Answer Question

I applied through an employee referral and the process took 4 months - interviewed at PwC.
Interview Details Was introduced to Capital Projects by a partner. From there, the process was pretty rigorous. Be prepared for no less than 4 interviews. I had 6 in total, from HR Manager through Principal. Interviews were great and team seems strong. Biggest concern was HR switched managers during final hiring so salary negotiations became a bit more difficult. In the end got a solid offer though.
Interview Question – How much do you currently make? Don't believe what you read on the internet! It was a relief stating my salary. Why would I want to go through a 4 month hiring process only to find out that the expectations were way off? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – The compensation is good to start: 3 weeks off, shut down during Christmas. Tough to change. I did ask for a sign-on bonus though and got it.

I applied through college or university and the process took 5 days - interviewed at PwC.
Interview Details Went through the On Campus Recruiting process and was selected for the 1st round. This round consists of two one on one fit interviews on campus. The interviews were very straight forward. Be prepared to talk about your experiences in detail. One of the interviewers was part of a recent acquisition. He did not seem to be happy about the new culture. So he had a couple of questions on dealing with new culture, acquisitions etc. Mostly usual questions - Why consulting, Why PwC etc.
Interview Question – One question that I struggled with was - "Tell me three good reasons why I should not hire you. And don't try to give me weaknesses that can be turned into strengths". Answer Question

Rickets is a disease of young, growing animals. The most common causes are dietary insufficiencies of phosphorus or vitamin D. Calcium deficiencies can also cause rickets, and while this rarely occurs naturally, poorly balanced diets that are deficient in calcium have been said to cause the disease. As in most diets causing osteodystrophies, the abnormal calcium:phosphorus ratio is most likely the cause.
The characteristic lesions of rickets are failure of both vascular invasion and mineralization in the area of provisional calcification of the physis. This pathology is most obvious in the metaphyses of the long bones. There may be a wide variety of clinical signs, including bone pain, stiff gait, swelling in the area of the metaphyses, difficulty in rising, bowed limbs, and pathologic fractures. On radiographic examination, the width of the physes is increased, the nonmineralized physeal area is distorted, and the bone may show decreased radiopacity. In advanced cases, angular limb deformity can be seen due to asynchronous bone growth.
Animals fed all-meat diets are commonly affected. Kittens that are fed beef heart exclusively develop locomotor disturbances within 4 wk, even though the high content of digestible protein (>50% on a weight basis) and fat promotes rapid growth, the animals appear well nourished, and their coat maintains a good luster. The predominant clinical signs are reluctance to move, posterior lameness, and ataxia. The kittens often stand with characteristic deviation of the paws. The skeletal disease becomes progressively more severe after 5–14 wk. The kittens become quiet and reluctant to play; they assume a sitting position or sternal recumbency with the hindlimbs abducted. Normal activities may result in the sudden onset of severe lameness due to incomplete or folding fractures of 1 or more bones. Lameness is the initial functional disturbance in growing dogs and may vary from a slight limp to inability to walk. The bones are painful on palpation, and folding fractures of long bones and vertebrae are common.
Rickets and other bone pathologies have been reported in young pigs housed indoors and fed processed feed. Processing of the feed removes natural vitamin D and other fat-soluble vitamins. Without vitamin supplementation, nutritional osteodystrophy may result.
Diets with excessive amounts of calcium (3× normal concentrations) have caused ricket-like signs in growing Great Danes. Several other bone pathologies such as retained cartilaginous cores, osteochondrosis, and stunted growth were seen in these dogs as well.
Correction of the diet is the primary treatment. The prognosis is good in the absence of pathologic fractures or irreversible damage to the physes. If the animals are housed, exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet radiation) will also increase the production of vitamin D3 precursors.
Recent studies show that many homemade diets for dogs are deficient in minerals and have altered calcium:phosphorus ratios. Therefore a high-quality commercial food, or one designed by a credentialed veterinary nutritionist, is recommended.

The Fire Elemental closest to Karin roared as it moved towards her and slammed one of it's arms across her (Karin takes 7 damages) although she managed to avoid being set on fire.
Similarly the two Fire Elementals tried to slam Fitha, but only one of their flailing limbs managed to strike her and again failed to ignite her.
Still no sign of Akasha, though.
