Sleep apnea occurs when breathing stops for brief periods of time while a person is sleeping. It can last for 10-30 seconds, and may occur up to 20-30 times per hour. During one night of sleep, this can cause up to 400 episodes of interrupted breathing.

There are three types of respiratory events:
Factors that increase your chances of developing sleep apnea include:
Symptoms may include:
People with chronic, untreated sleep apnea may be at risk for:
An overnight sleep study is used to help diagnose sleep apnea.
This test helps detect the presence and severity of sleep apnea. During sleep, it measures your:
In addition to sleep studies, your doctor may order:
There are a number of treatment options for sleep apnea, including:
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) entails wearing a mask over your nose and/or mouth during sleep. An air blower forces enough constant and continuous air through your air passages to prevent the tissues from collapsing and blocking the airway. In some cases, dental appliances that help keep the tongue or jaw in a more forward position may help.
In some cases, surgery may be recommended. It is most often beneficial in pediatric patients.
Types of surgery that may be done to treat severe cases of sleep apnea include:
Bariatric surgery may help with weight loss in some people who are obese. This surgery may reduce many of the complications that are related to obesity, including sleep apnea.
Only used in central apnea, acetazolamide may help improve the ability to regulate breathing. Overall, there is not a lot of evidence to support the use of medicines to treat sleep apnea.
Supplemental oxygen may be given if blood levels of oxygen fall too low during sleep, even after opening the airway.
You may be able to prevent sleep apnea by maintaining a healthy weight. Avoid alcohol, nicotine, and sedatives, which may contribute to airway obstruction.

Supernatural Stories of New York: spooky seances, violent Jazz Age ghosts and an island of despair
PODCAST It's our fourth annual Halloween history special, and we've got four bloodcurdling stories for the season. The first three are spooky ghost tales -- a haunted boardinghouse on 14th street with violent, vain spirits; a short history of New York's seance craze and a man tormented by the spirit of a dead painter; and a glamorous pair of Jazz Age lovers whose angry spats in their midtown Manhattan penthouse kept up the neighbors, even beyond the grave.
ALSO: A tale with no ghosts at all, but a story with truly spine-tingling facts, featuring the eeriest island in New York and the final resting place for over 850,000 souls. If you ever make it to Hart Island, it means that things have gone very badly for you.
You can tune into it below, download it for FREE from iTunes or other podcasting services, or get it straight from our satellite site.
Or listen to it here:
The Bowery Boys: Supernatural Stories of New York
Home to the American Society of Psychical Research on W. 73rd Street, the organization headed by James Hyslop in the early 1900s. Hyslop led the investigation of dozens of reported cases of paranormal and supernatural activity.
Hyslop, pictured below, believed that he spoke with famous philosopher William James through a medium, and he himself spoke to his secretary via this technique many months after he died.
A bizarre image depicting medium Etta De Camp being visited by author Frank Stockton. Ms. De Camp believed her hand was being controlled by Stockton and even wrote a entire book under the control of Stockton.
Looking up at the former penthouses of 57 W. 57th Street, where Edna Champion and her lover Charlie argued their way into the grave, then tormented the unfortunate tenants for many years later. Today, these formerly haunted floors are slated to be occupied by Ford Models.
An abandoned records room on Hart Island. This and many other wonderful photographs of Hart Island can be found at Kingston Lounge, bravely venturing to the island in 2008 to witness the strange and forlorn island in person.
The Hart Island Project has been drawing needed attention the island for years, obtaining lists of people buried there and assisting in families looking for loved ones there. It's also features a fantastic collection of photographs, such as the one below (of a lonely grave marker) by Joel Sternfeld.
And finally, a fascinating and priceless local news report from 1978 on Hart Island, looking a bit more populated than it is today. Unbelievably, there was talk of actually developing Hart Island for more than just the city's potter's field.
If you're looking to craft your own personal 'haunted' walking tour, this map lists all the places we've talked about in prior ghost stories podcasts. Simply look up a location and download that particular episode:

Culture Secretary Maria Miller has dismissed calls for an independent inquiry into the Jimmy Savile scandal but took a swipe at the BBC for failing to broadcast its own television investigation into allegations against the presenter.
The Cabinet Minister told MPs the corporation had acted "inappropriately" when it pulled a Newsnight film into sex abuse claims against the late DJ and broadcaster but said she was "now confident" BBC chiefs were taking the claims "very seriously".
Labour Deputy Leader Harriet Harman said there was widespread "revulsion" that the allegations of systemic assaults took place at the beloved "aunty", the affectionate nickname for the institution, and claimed the the star's "exalted" status allowed him to act with impunity.
Ms Miller said the allegations had "wide-ranging implications for a number of public institutions" but rejected calls for an outside inquiry to restore the public's faith, warning it could hamper police investigations.
"In terms of a wider inquiry, we have a police investigation on-going at the moment," she said. "Everybody would agree that it is really important that those individuals who have been victims know that that investigation can go on unfettered and that that should be our priority at this stage."
She added: "The BBC has launched three separate investigations, as the House will be aware. The first will look particularly at the allegations with regard to the item on Savile which was inappropriately pulled from Newsnight."
Ms Harman said: "What has deepened the revulsion is that this happened at the BBC, an institution so loved and trusted it is known as aunty. This has cast a stain on the BBC."
Commons culture committee chairman John Whittingdale said the Director-General George Entwistle had offered to appear before the committee next week and said he was "sure" MPs would take him up on the offer.
Police believe the DJ and television presenter's alleged catalogue of child sex abuse could have spanned six decades and included around 60 victims.
Mr Entwistle announced last Friday that two inquiries would be launched into the abuse claims. One will look into whether there were any failings over the handling of the abandoned Newsnight piece. A second independent inquiry will look into the "culture and practices of the BBC during the years Jimmy Savile worked here", Mr Entwistle said.

Brereton C. Jones' homebred 2012 Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) winner Believe You Can has been retired, trainer Larry Jones confirmed Nov. 22.
Trainer had been weighing options for Golden Ticket that included a possible run in the Cigar Mile (gr. I) before he settled on staying home for a Clark bid.
CresRan Stable's homebred Tiz Miz Sue took advantage of a speed duel between Joyful Victory and Authenticity to post an impressive victory in the Ogden Phipps Handicap (gr. I) at Belmont Park May 27.
Trainer Larry Jones will offer a stiff one-two punch in the $400,000 Ogden Phipps Handicap (gr. I), with stablemates Joyful Victory and Believe You Can both entered for the May 27 event at Belmont Park.
Rosie Napravnik remembers galloping horses at Pimlico Race Course before she even earned her jockey's license. On May 18 aboard Mylute, she'll become just the third woman to ever ride in the Preakness Stakes (gr. I).
Padua Stables' Authenticity held off On Fire Baby in a fierce stretch battle to win the La Troienne Stakes (gr. II) by a head May 3 at Churchill Downs. The 6-year-old mare sets a stakes record of 1:42.09 for 1 1/16-miles.
Nearly one year after securing a victory in the Kentucky Oaks (gr. I), Brereton Jones homebred Believe You Can returns to racing at Churchill Downs in the $300,000 La Troienne Stakes (gr. II) May 3.
Steve Bass, who booked mounts for nine-time leading Keeneland rider Julien Leparoux for the past seven years, will have Rosie Napravnik and Alan Garcia when the meet opens April 5.
Believe You Can blew away the competition in the $150,000 New Orleans Ladies March 9 at Fair Grounds, posting her second straight win off the layoff; the $150,000 Duncan F. Kenner went to Delaunay for owner Maggi Moss.
Believe You Can looks to parlay a Feb. 2 tally at Fair Grounds into victory in the New Orleans Ladies Stakes March 9; Louisiana Derby winner Hero of Order will wheel back in the Duncan F. Kenner on the same day.
Believe You Can is likely to make her next appearance in the March 9 New Orleans Ladies Stakes while stablemate Mark Valeski will aim for the Mineshaft Handicap, and other Larry Jones contenders are on the move.
Brereton Jones' homebred Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) winner Believe You Can returned from a layoff of more than seven months to capture the $94,000 Tiffany Lass Stakes by 10 1/4 lengths Feb. 2 at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots.
Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) winner Believe You Can returns to Fair Grounds Feb. 2 to make her 2013 debut in the $75,000 Tiffany Lass Stakes against five other older fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles.
Believe You Can took a step toward her 4-year-old racing debut on Jan. 18 when she breezed five furlongs in a minute flat on a fast track at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots, earning the bullet for the distance.
Questing and My Miss Aurelia have both made a good case for championship honors.
With the division wide open midway through August, each of seven fillies entered in the 132nd edition of the 1 1/4-mile event seeks to strengthen her championship credentials with a victory Aug. 18.
Brereton Jones' homebred Believe You Can, who had been working toward a start in the Aug. 18 Alabama Stakes (gr. I), will instead be given some time off at Jones' Airdrie Stud near Midway, Ky.
Grace Hall, one of four grade I winners pointing to the Aug. 18 Alabama (gr. I), had her final serious work prior to the 1 1/4-mile race this morning, breezing four furlongs at Delaware Park in :49.40.
Top competitors including KY Oaks (gr. I) winner Believe You Can will be out in full force next weekend for the Alabama Stakes (gr. I), Sword Dancer Invitational (gr. IT), and Woodford Reserve Lake Placid (gr. IIT).
Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) winner Believe You Can had her first workout at Saratoga Race Course Aug. 6, breezing over the Oklahoma training track in preparation for the Alabama Stakes (gr. I) on Aug. 18.
Fair Grounds Race Course has boosted the purses of eight open-company races on its 2012-2013 stakes schedule released June 28, marking the third straight year the average stakes purse has increased at the New Orleans oval.
Live Oak Plantation's Zo Impressive took the $300,000 Mother Goose Stakes (gr. I) at Belmont Park June 23 when 1-2 favorite Contested faded badly and Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) winner Believe You Can failed to menace.

I purchased this storage ottoman to store keepsakes from my wedding and could not be more pleased! The ottoman was shipped completely assembled and it was light enough that I could carry it upstairs by myself. The material is very nice and the tufts on top add extra detail. The top is sturdy but soft enough to sit on. Very happy with this quality purchase -- it will definitely be staying with us over the years.
This was the first time I purchased furniture over the web and did so only because my daughter-in-law did and bought a similar ottoman to use as a cocktail ottoman. I'm in the interior design business and so look and color were very important to me. It came exactly as it was represented and in perfect condition. I was pleasantly surprised with the great value & condition this came in, not to mention how quickly it came! I think it arrived in about a week. This has exceeded my expectations and I saved so much *** over buying retail or wholesale even because everything in my design world is so expensive! This has the look for a fraction of the price.
We ordered this Ottoman on Monday and got it on Thursday, it arrived in perfect condition. Although it said assembly required, it did not. So that was a good surprise. The ottoman is very nice and well constructed. It is a $*** piece of furniture and for the price it is a very good value. We are happy with it, as we looked around at that price and this is much better than anything else we have seen. It goes well with the rest of our furniture, which you can see on: ***********************************.
This is a great idea but in practice the tufting on this ottoman is either non-existent or was flattened in the box while shipping. But it looks pretty good underneath a low window sill where it can be used for seating and for storage so still happy with it.
Great piece for the price. It is just as described. Arrived quickly, packed very securely, and was in perfect condition.
Perfect for my intended use - Perfect for storing blankets. Searching for trays to put on top to use as coffee table.
This storage bench is both useful and beautiful and good value for the price. Colour and fabric texture are as described on the website. Colour is muted and blends well with a neutral decor. I placed the bench in the front foyer so it serves as a place to store footwear, umbrellas and a shoehorn and a place to sit down to put on shoes. Very happy with this purchase!
Great buy! Nice size...not too big. Looks great in our new living room. Lots of room inside to store blankets, toys etc.. Highly recommend you buy this.
This is a nice storage bench. I like the tuffed style in combination with the fabric. It is very roomy inside, enough for a couple throw blankets & pillow. The only issue I have with this bench is it sits a little low. I have it at the foot of my daughter's queen size bed. It would have worked a lot better if it were 6 inches taller.
I really liked the bench with storage, however is was a bit short in comparison to my tall bed. The color was exactly what I wanted and true to the picture and quality was nice but the tuft was fairly subtle. I would recommend it, just didn't work with my large bed frame.

Software: PowerShell Studio
PowerShell Studio 2012
The most powerful and feature complete PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE) available.Our ISE is full of all the tools you need. The updated ribbon UI makes it even easier to work with your scripts. You can customize your panel layouts for the way YOU work or use one of several predefined layouts. Quickly change font size with a handy font size slider. Use our function explorer to rapidly navigate to any function, event or workflow. Change the name of a function or event and it will propagate throughout your script. Our Object browser quickly connects you with PowerShell cmdlets, .NET, WMI, databases or files. Use Snippets to instantly add predefined and tested script segments to your work. And work faster due to our performance enhancements and reduced load times.
Work the way YOU want with PowerShell.
Console, Scripts, Script Modules or Forms: PowerShell Studio gives you the tools you need to bring your PowerShell tasks to successful completion.
Key Features
PowerShell Console
Not just one, but two hot-swappable consoles: 32-bit and 64-bit which support STA mode. Each console now includes an input line that supports code hinting and completion for PowerShell cmdlets with full parameter alias support and syntax coloring. Switch between the consoles without losing context. Use the built-in support for native PowerShell remoting. And we are ready for PowerShell V3 when you are.
PowerShell Script Editor
This is the most feature-rich PowerShell scripting editor available. Use it to create traditional console-based scripts or as the code behind your GUI forms. The PowerShell Studio editor supports code completion for PowerShell cmdlets as well as enumerators, special object types, parameters and .NET objects. It also supports alias conversion, syntax coloring, single key shortcut to last edit position, edited line indicator, triple click to quickly select a complete function and much more.
PowerShell Forms Designer
Developing GUI-based PowerShell forms has gotten even easier with our exclusive Control Sets. With a single click add powerful pre-designed sets of controls to your forms with all necessary events and properties "pre-wired" for your use. Or, create your own Control Sets from patterns you use regularly. Create, save and apply "styles" (predefined property sets) to your form controls. Select multiple controls and add events with a single click.
PowerShell Script Debugger
Run and debug your scripts directly from within PowerShell Studio. A multitude of helpful tools allow you to quickly debug, solve and verify any problems you may encounter. Our 32-bit and 64-bit debuggers work locally as well as remotely¹.
PowerShell Help
Our Integrated Help system makes learning and using PowerShell easier than ever. It automatically displays help information when typing the cmdlet name or use the PowerShell Panel to view the corresponding help. The additional Help Tab in the ribbon UI gets you easy access to SAPIEN product support and online links.
PowerShell Executables
Convert your script into executables. Fine tune custom access privileges, elevation and platforms. Run 32 and 64 bit executable files as long as Windows PowerShell is installed.

If your trick-or-treater is fishin' for sweets this Halloween, arm them with the perfect net--a Bubble Guppies Treat Sack! All you need to make this simple snack pack is this boo-tiful decal and a pillow case or canvas bag.
for Bubble Guppies weekdays @ 11:00 AM EST on NICK
Place the iron-on transfer paper into your ink-jet color printer as indicated on the package. Print either the reversed or non-reversed image from Bubble Guppies Decal Printable depending on the type of your iron-on transfer paper.

 Set the printable aside for a few minutes to dry, and then cut out the image--cutting close to the colored edge of the image.
Begin by ironing all of the wrinkles out of the T-shirt. If you printed the reversed image, place the cut-out facedown on the pillow case or bag.

 If you printed the non-reversed image, peel off its backing and place the image faceup on the pillow case or bag. Cover the image with the protective sheet that comes with your transfer paper before ironing.

 Iron the image with firm and steady pressure in a circular motion. Start at one corner and work your way slowly to the opposite corner, and then do the same for the other two corners. Finish by moving the iron in a circular motion around the entire area for 10-15 seconds, using steady pressure. Be sure to iron all of the edges.

 Allow the pillow case or bag to cool before proceeding to the next step.
For the facedown ironed on image, start at one corner and slowly peel the backing away from the garment.

 For the faceup ironed on image, simply remove the protective sheet. If the decal is not secured on the pillow case or bag, cover it with the protective sheet and begin ironing it again.

When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great wizard but into a better man as well. Full synopsis
Oz the Great and Powerful
Audiences enamored with the original Wizard of Oz can follow the yellow brick road back to this effects-laden prequel, where a Kansas magician (James Franco) saves an Emerald City from a pair of evil witches. Sam Raimi's Oz is the first legitimate family film of 2013. It benefits from advancements in filmmaking technologies to take modern audiences on a 3D trip through familiar territories. And the thing about Oz, which is a blessing and a curse for Raimi and his crew, is that we HAVE seen this magical land, and we come at this new film with expectations. The story behind Oz the Great and Powerful – essentially an origin of the man who'll eventually become "king" – isn't a selling point so much as Raimi's visuals are the reason to grab a ticket and take the family. The effects justify the return trip to Oz, because Raimi uses top-of-the-line computer-generated wizardry to revitalize a cinematic universe that, while far from stale, could actually be dismissed as old. "Let's go make some magic," Franco's con-artist performer says early on in the film, and Raimi largely delivers on that promise. Oz is a beautiful land to explore, with giant popping sunflowers, towering Emerald buildings, and the digital gloss of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. The best scene might be a bubble trip over Raimi's constructed land, which gives us a glorious 3D spin over the movie's digital realm. That, alone, is worth the price of admission. Oz the Great and Powerful is dazzling entertainment for imaginative children ages 8 and up … younger if they've already seen the original The Wizard of Oz and are OK with characters like the Wicked Witch of the West and her flying monkeys (who are a credible threat in this prequel). Political sidebars and emotional manipulations between warring witches might not interest your youngest kids, but there are plenty of flying monkeys and visually arresting sequences in this beautiful fantasy tale to justify the 3D ticket.
What Parents Need to Know
Despite the overwhelming odds against them, Oz, his friends, and the good people of Oz band together to save the land from evil. There's a recurring emphasis on the idea that when you believe (in yourself, in others, in a dream), anything is possible, as well as the notion that people can change for the better if they're given the chance -- and others' trust. Evil characters are driven by vengeance and jealousy.
Both Glinda and Annie see vast potential in Oz, even if he's a self-described con-man magician who -- at least at first -- is quick to take advantage of others and put his own selfish interests above all else. Glinda is optimistic, self-sacrificing, and wise; China Girl and Finley are faithful companions who teach Oz the meaning of unconditional friendship. The wizard rises to the occasion to save the people of Oz, and even at the end, he offers the Wicked Witch a chance to redeem herself.
The flying monkeys are now flying, screeching baboons with big talons, and they can be downright terrifying, especially in 3-D. Early in the film, the circus strong man chases and tries to beat up Oz; the twister scene that follows is intense (this is another instance where 3-D ups the intensity, with sharp projectiles flying toward Oz, objects hurtling through storm clouds, etc.). Glinda is tortured (via magic) and must battle her evil enemies, who look quite scary and can be frighteningly wicked. China Town and all its inhabitants are mostly destroyed, and the orphaned China Girl is left with broken legs. One main character's transformation into the Wicked Witch of the West is freaky, although she's not as ugly as the original Wicked Witch. The wizard navigates some intense river rapids upon his initial arrival in Oz, plummeting down a scary waterfall, and he's later charged by a hungry lion and attacked by fierce piranha-like plants (again, scary in 3-D). Theodora hurls fireballs when her temper flares, and angry tears leave scars on her cheeks. China Girl briefly wields a knife in one scene (played for humor); soldiers use spears. Scenes in the Dark Forest include creepy eyes and a spooky graveyard. One scene near the end briefly suggests the death of a main character.
Oz is quite the womanizer; he kisses four different women over the course of the movie, and there are a few innuendos about his various conquests. Theodora wears what looks like a corset top in one scene; earlier, she's shown wearing very tight leather pants and a jacket. The Wicked Witch is fairly busty as well. Oz's treatment of women is the cause of a lot of anger and destruction.
"Damn" is used a couple of times; also "shut up."
Although the movie itself contains no product/brand references outside of the book and classic film, Disney has merchandise partnerships with everything from makeup and apparel companies to stationery and games.
In the Kansas section, a clown drinks from a flask during Oz's magic performance.

I don't view rapeing the land everywhere you go so that it takes an forever to recover back to a reasonable state brilliant tactics (sherman neck ties were just an ******* move) but at least he was better than grant. After all they were fighting to keep this land in the first place, that's basically just saying if we can't have it neither can you.

ACTUALLY, Wars are won by destroying the enemy's center of gravity, which is not always an army, or "kill count". A recent example of this is the war in vietnam. A center of gravity can be a city (like Stalingrad in the eastern front of ww2) or a person (george washington in the war of independence). The center of gravity for the North in the civil war was DC, whereas for the south, it was Lee and his army (early union generals wrongly thought it was Richmond, hence the reason the war dragged out).

When you started talking about using Vietnam as an example, I expected descriptions of the Vietnamese center of gravity.
I understand what you're saying, and you are right, but you shouldn't bring up an example and then not use it. That's just poor form.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - High-level Chinese staff at British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline Plc
The Xinhua report on Sunday did not state the number of employees under investigation or give any further details.
Repeated calls to the Changsha police were unanswered on Monday.
A GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) spokeswoman in London said investigations by Chinese authorities into the firm's operations in China were ongoing, but added it was unclear what the investigations were about.
She said Chinese authorities had visited the company's sites in Beijing, Shanghai and Changsha.
Last month, GSK fired its head of research and development in China after discovering a study by some of its Chinese scientists contained misrepresentations of data.

Owner Adam Thomas stands outside the Thomahawk Deli & Grill, a family-friendly restaurant in Davidsville. (Staff photo by Bruce Siwy / June 30, 2013) |
DAVIDSVILLE — Adam Thomas graduated first in his collegiate class and had nearly a dozen good job opportunities across the eastern U.S.
Ultimately, however, he created his own opportunities back home in Conemaugh Township — and succeeded.
The 41-year-old is owner of three area businesses and employs a total of 60 people, approximately half of them seasonal. He still remembers his invitations to work for companies from Boston to New Orleans after receiving his master's in business from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
"I think it's amazing," Thomas said of his return to the area. "The thought of Johnstown never crossed my mind.
"I thought all the opportunity lied elsewhere," he added. "Instead we worked to create our own opportunity here."
His three businesses are: Thomas Smoked Meats, a deer processing company near Tire Hill; A. Thomas Management Co., which prepares daily meals for employees at DRS Technologies in Richland Township; and the Thomahawk Deli & Grill in Davidsville. He also serves as food services director for his alma mater, Conemaugh Township Area School District.
Thomas said he enjoys running small-town businesses, being committed to his community and building solid relationships with fellow parents and students alike. But his professional career actually began on the other side of the mighty Monogahela.
His first post-college gig was a food service director at an Ohio university campus. There, he said, he typically worked 100 hours a week.
According to Thomas, the money was good, but his marriage and new baby girl meant different priorities.
"We had a 10-week-old girl and I thought, 'You know what, I'm going home,'" he said.
Moving back to Somerset County wasn't easy at first. He said he initially worked part-time picking stainless steel for minimum wage at a local manufacturing plant.
"It was a little humbling," he admitted. "(But) I was confident."
Thomas soon began working as food service instructor at a local prison. This lasted for about a year before landing a job in 1997 as the food services director at his alma mater, the Conemaugh Township Area School District. And just two years later — despite having no formal training as a butcher — he founded Thomas Smoked Meats.
"I taught myself how to clean the meat off the bone," he said, adding that his self-training began as a boy when he would hunt with his father.
According to Thomas, this business picked up over the years to become one of the biggest deer processing companies in the tri-county area. He said he and his employees receive approximately 1,500 deer per year in addition to thousands of pheasants, ducks and other birds. The company specializes in creating a wide variety of beef, pork and poultry products.
"We are really meticulous," he said.
In the following years he took on other ventures, including a retail store in Richland and the A. Thomas Management Co. He left his school food service director position in 2005, but returned to this post about four years ago.
When his retail venture faltered in 2009, Thomas opted not to renew his lease. Instead he took a chance on establishing the Thomahawk, a family-friendly restaurant in Davidsville.
He said the restaurant business — and location — was a better fit.
"It's been very successful here," he said, noting that he has a bachelor's in hotel and restaurant management from IUP. "I've found a niche and I think it's been real well-received."

"awesome fun... anyone and of any age can enjoy a game."
on by sahn911Pros lotta fun. much better than move or wii.. the motion sensing is quite accurate and makes it so much better to play than move. and the best part all your body movements are noticed and not just your hand.
Cons lack of hard disk space and also expandable to a external storage of 16GB if using a separate USB drive.
Summary the product is of great value and waiting for a lot of new upcoming games in all forms for kinect.
on by xAnhellicxPros I love the fact that it came bundled with Kinect. And it was on sale for 299$. The touch sensitive buttons are awsome and not as noisy as my old xbox. My family totally loves it and I can't wait to get some more games for Kinect.
Cons I guess the only thing that I didn't like about this bundle is that it didn't come with the 250 gig hard drive. But really that's my fault for not doing proper research. (I thought I did come with it...totally broke my heart. Lol!)
Summary This is great for the kids as well as adults. I really come down to what you want. Kinect? Or the 250 gig hard drive (that is not included). I think this is WAY better than the Wii and Playstation move. It so innovative and advanced and the graphics are great. All in all a great buy

Florida has adopted new standards, called Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics, which will impact the way children are taught, how they learn, and how they will be assessed. Florida's schools will be fully integrated with these standards by school year 2013-2014. By understanding these standards now, students, teachers, and parents, can get a head start on paving the road to success.
The Florida Department of Education is working diligently with school districts across the state to reach our goal of full implementation of these new standards and has developed this tool to measure our progress in obtaining that goal. The Readiness Gauge was developed to help track and share school district progress as preparations are made to provide a robust digital learning environment and full implementation of the Common Core State Standards.
Select the tab for the school level (Elementary, Middle or High) to view the progress occurring in each school district. These maps are updated on a monthly basis. Check back soon and see the map become more green as school districts continue to implement positive transformational shifts in our public education system.

Crystal Ball Run:
The first domino in the 2012-2013 coaching carousel fell on Sunday, when Kentucky Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart announced that football coach Joker Phillips had been fired. Barnhart wrote an open letter to Kentucky fans, which said in part: After much conversation, evaluation and prayer, I have determined that it is in the best interest of our athletics program to make a change in our football coaching staff at the conclusion of the season. I do so with a heavy heart for a man who has served his alma mater for almost 22 years as a player and a coach. As the letter indicates, Phillips will be allowed to coach the remainder of the 2012 season. He currently has 12-23 record at the school, is just 4-19 in SEC play, and as things stand, the Wildcats sit at an abysmal 1-9 in the 2012 season, and 0-7 in SEC play. Speaking of the 2012 season, it has been a disappointing one in every manner for Phillips, who was already on the hot seat after last year's 4-8 finish. Many belie...

Danville, VA-- A huge Christmas tree exhibit has brought more than 500 people to a church in Danville.
Ascension Lutheran Church has their Chrismon Tree Exhibit up. The 19-footer sits in their sanctuary with 600 ornaments on it Each one tells stories about Jesus.
It started 56 years ago with a woman from the church who wanted to use ornaments to tell the Christmas story. Now, her idea has spread all over the world.
"We have people from all over, and we have contacts from all over the world with people who want to learn how to make these ornaments," Chrismon Secretary Heather Vipperman said. "Original patterns are still available, and people are constantly designing their own ornaments, which is the whole idea."
You still have time to see it. They have a tour available every night from 7pm-9pm. They also have a tour available on Sunday from 3pm-5pm and 7pm-9pm. The exhibit will be closed on Christmas, and the last day to visit it is December 26th.

Recipe by Nell Marsh
"This is a creamy soup base that will make many types of cream soup. Use your imagination and create a new soup."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 cup butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 cubes chicken bouillon
ground black pepper to taste
this soup was delicious and easy. it came out a little thick and salty so i added two more cups of milk and a cup of water. i also added potatoes, celery, and onions into it. but you should boil the veges first before putting them in. i didn't know so i just stuck in raw veges so i had to constantly stir while it softened up. i will definitely make it again.
This recipe is okay, but is much tastier if you saute finely diced celery, carrots and leek, before adding the flour to make the roux. I also add a little bit of crushed garlic with the flour so not to burn it. This allows you to omit the chicken stock, which can be full of nasty stuff too. If you do add the chicken stock, and do not have time to make your own, read labels carefully, they are not all created equally.

Great for when you don't have that can of soup on hand. Plus I feel like I'm not getting all those artificial ingredients, preservatives, etc. in the can.
I made this for a group event and it was loved by all. I added the baked potatoes and bacon. I found I needed a lot more milk for a less thick soup. I used 1% milk and everyone still thought it was made with cream.
Delicious and easy!!! I am living in Austria right now on a foreign exchange program, and I wanted to make a meal for my host family, and one of the ingredients was a can of cream of celery soup. Unfortunately I learned Austria doesnt have any canned soup! Luckily I found this wonderful recipe, and just added pureed celery. My dish turned out even more delicious than when I used the can soup. I would recommend this recipe to anybody, it is quick, simple, delicious, and amazingly versatile!!!
I love you!whoever you are who posted this! Lol. I had a hankerin for some asparagus soup and used this base with a can of asparagusneeded all the liquid tho-real thick! It was awesome! I can't believe I've been buying canned all these years! DUH!
Thank you SO MUCH for this! I was ready to make PoppySeed Chicken and realized I was out of cream soup! I remembered seeing this recipe long ago--searched, and THERE IT WAS! I will never BUY cream soup again--this is SO MUCH BETTER!
This is a wonderful, versitile and quick recipe. I made broccoli and cheese with leftover cooked broccoli. It was delicious. I made it with vegetarian bouillons for my kids. They are picky and loved it.

Hi, I will spare you the several weeks long worth of details and troubleshooting that led me to finding this problem and get right down to the issue.
I have 2 Seagate Momentus XT 500Gb hard drives, a Corsair C300 256Gb SSD drive, an Asus Rampage III extreme mother board with an Intel i7-930 CPU, 6GB Mushkin DDR 1600 RAM, an Nvidia Zotac GeForce 480 AMP edition graphics card, a noctua CPU cooler, Corsair 1000HX modular power supply, and 20 years of PC troubleshooting background.
The C300 is my C: drive with Windows 7 64-bit on it. The 2 Momentus XT drives are my D: drive in a RAID 0 configuration.
I have a problem when running programs (applications show it, but games make the problem shine) where the PC will frequently and suddenly freeze up for 3-4 seconds at a time on a seemingly random time frame. The hard drive light turns solid (on) during this freeze up and then every thing will return to normal after the few second "pause". I read in a support forum of people with this same problem and one of them mentioned it could be that the drives are spinning down and the pause is caused when the PC access them to get data and has to wait for them to spin up.
I have verified that this might be the case.
Using Crystal Disk Info (http://crystalmark.info/?lang=en) I un-raid my drives, reboot, and turn off "AAM/APM" on each drive using the disable button in the program, reboot my PC with my drives re-raided in RAID 0, and the pausing problem is GONE. Crystal Disk Info shows you the HEX setting the drives are set to as default and the new setting after you disable the Advanced Power Management and Automatic Acoustic Management features. (off=01h) I have to un-raid my drives to do this because Crystal Disk Info will not recognize raided drives.
Now... My PC is good and happy until I power it off and back on. After it comes on the pausing problem is BACK! Using Crystal Disk Info with the above method I see that the original settings are back and APM is turned on. I thus have to repeat the above procedure to fix this issue... every time I hard reboot or power off and back on.
The problem also manifests itself in other normal activities, like when I click an internet link to download a file to my D: drive... wait.... wait... wait... wait... OK it finally decided to download! (because the drives had to wake up)
I am certain you can replicate these results. There are many people in various PC forums that have complained about this issue and I would like to know what Seagate is going to do to fix it. The problem makes using my computer unbearable.
Please reply concerning this.
-Thank you, Mike Carlson
Ya,,, I tried hdscan per your suggestion and though it can scan the surface of raided drives, that's all it can do... I have to un raid them to turn off APM through hdscan then raid them together again...
My bios has no APM options for the hard drives so I'm out of luck there (Asus Rampage III extreme).
It would be so easy for Seagate to fix this problem it seems.
I opened a support ticket on another problem (BSOD, parity errors, etc), and was told today that Seagate believes that the unusually long start-up time of the drive is causing this, and they will be releasing a firmware update "soon" to fix it. So, I'd suggest just waiting for that.
Well, after lots of troubleshooting with Seagate Support, this is their answer:
Mr. Carlson,
Thank you for choosing Seagate. These drives are not designed or intended to be used in a RAID configuration, and the drives are working as designed. I would recommend using an ES or Enterprise drive, as the firmware in those drives are designed and better suited for RAID use. Basically, you are attempting to use the drives in a manner that was not intended, nor can be supported. If the drives pass Seatools and this issue only occurs in your RAID configuration, then the drives are fine.
Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you again for choosing Seagate and have a great day!
Seagate Technical Support
So if you plan on Raiding these, be prepared to encounter problems.
07-22-2010 09:14 AM - edited 07-22-2010 10:02 AM
Here's the firmware update mentioned.
Important note - This update is only accessible for non-OEM drives. Unless you bought your Momentus XT drive retail, the update will most probably not work. Contact your OEM for more information on any firmware updates.
I got the same problem only with i have no RAID. I put this drive into my Macbook Pro mid 2010 and experience the same problems! Delays! Delays! = beachballs
When the disk is spinning all the time no problems but when that APM/Spin down is kicked in and to do something on my Macbook i have to wait every time when the disk spins up.
The firmware update can't be installed using the Seagate bootable CD on my Macbook or via my Windows Laptop on AHCI or IDE mode under windows!
I tried that firmware upgrade, but it only results in a "Model Matched, No Firmware Matched! Will not download firmware." message. My drives are not OEM. Serials are 5YX00BV9 and 5YX00EQH. Current firmware version is SD22. Hopefully the firmware is updated yet again to address this.
Manually forced a firmware update to SD23. No luck. Frequent pausing and freeze ups still occuring when APM is enabled. PC runs PERFECTLY SMOOTH with the drive's APM disabled. Been going through a lengthly troubleshooting process with Seagate support, though it's about come to the point that I just don't want to deal with this any more.
For OS X users this might help:

I'm using an iMac with an i7, 16 GB of RAM, the thing is almost brand new. I'm running Adobe Master Suite CS5.5 and have "tuned my system" to the best I know how, based on the stuff on here.
I've been working on a major DVD where I imported sequences from Premiere CS5.5 (from the encore menu) into Encore using the Dynamic Link function. The DVD is almost done, but now for some reason, I can't open up the project. Encore will begin to open the project but after awhile it just freeze and the "Force Close" menu says it's not responding. I've tried leaving it for 30 mins, but it still just freezes. Sometimes the progress bar even gets to 100% but it never actually opens the project. I'm in real trouble if I can't get this to work or if I have to redue everything.
Any ideas?
I have the Premiere Project Files on one external HDD. I have the Encore Files on another External HDD. I have my media cache and scratch files on a third external drive. They are all running USB 3.0 (in USB 2.0 mode) at 7200rpms.
I'm trying to think of anything else that you might need to know to answer the question. I've tried restarting the computer. I make sure Premiere is open with the correct project. I've been having problems with Encore crashing before, so I just recently reinstalled the whole Master Suite.
What to do?
Here is one of the error reports if that helps:

Please don't post the entire error log unless specifically requested to do so by an Adobe employee. If other users want to see the log, contact them by PM. Huge, long error logs make it very difficult to read the topic, and results in fewer people reading, which means less opportunity for you to get help.
Is Premiere open, and is the project that the sequences are in open, when you try to open this project in Encore? I had one particular sequence which would hang if I did not open it in Premiere before opening the Encore project.
Can you tell if it is a particular sequence that hangs it?
Do a "save as" for a type of backup.
If you can narrow this down to one sequence, you can export that one from Premiere/AME, and do a replace asset.
I don't recall what the Mac equivalent is, but have you tried the PC "run as administrator"? Hangs with external drives always makes me wonder about permissions.
This is not regarding Encore specifically, but I would look at these suggestions:
Troubleshoot system errors and freezes | Adobe software on Mac OS 10.x
The respective project is always opened and saved in Premiere. I'm not sure if it's a particular sequence because it freezes at different times. Sometimes at 3% sometimes it gets all the way to 100% but freezes. I've yet been able to open all day. I've tried probably like 30 times. I even tried with Premiere closed just in case.
I'm not sure how I would test that theory of trying one sequence at a time, if I can't open the Encore project to begin with.
I'm not aware of a "run as an administrator" function on macs, but I'll look into that.
Thanks for the link to the article, I'm reading it now.
I'm not sure how I would test that theory of trying one sequence at a time, if I can't open the Encore project to begin with.
You sure can't do a "save as"!
Create a new Encore project DL to one of your sequences. Save, Close, Reopen. Does it work? Add another one, etc.
That will not actually prove anything, but may be instructive if it is actually one particular one.
The varying percentage is odd, and makes me wonder.Encore should do these things the same every time. In the problem sequence I described above, it would hang at the same percentage every time.
I'm not aware of a "run as an administrator" function on macs, but I'll look into that.
See #1 and #9 in the link I sent. It looks to me like there is not the same function.

Conference Information
We're moving in a new direction. In recent months, NYSNA has taken steps to return power to the members and focus on the issues affecting the bedside nurse. This conference will continue to build on mobilizing members to secure safe staffing ratios by 2013 and arm you with the facts to help you build your case for a safer working environment with management — and other union members.
Track 1: Legislative/PAC
Learn more about the valuable role you and your co-workers can play in securing safe staffing legislation for 2013.
Track 2: Facility/Member Mobilization
Find out some of the best approaches your NYSNA colleagues and other unions have used in the workplace and community to win positive results for patients and nurses.
Track 3: Community/Advocacy
Discuss working with grassroots and community organizations that can help us achieve our legislative and policy goals.
Track 4: Clinical Issues
This track is clearly relevant to the bedside nurse. Advance your clinical skills and reinforce your experience in these hands-on workshops.
Track 5: Empowerment!
Become engaged through becoming empowered. Experience these workshops to learn more about how your documentation supports the nurse, the patient, and the practice.
