Clint Hill had two messages for the QPR hierarchy after victory over Sunderland - buy players and stick with 4-4-2.
Hill was given his first Premier League appearance of the season in a 1-0 win, starting at left-back as Harry Redknapp went with a back four rather than the wing-backs system tried against Hull and Tottenham.
And the 35-year-old urged Redknapp to stick with a tried and tested formula as the change helped end a run of three straight defeats.
He told Sky Sports: "I think we worked well as a four, so hopefully we'll take the positives from that.
"Everyone knows the system, probably played it most of their careers at the back and in the middle so we know our formation, know our system, and know our individual roles in it. Hopefully we'll stick at it.
"We've got to take the positives from it - clean sheet and we managed to score a goal which always helps."
Hill started in place of Armand Traore, who is teh subject of a bid from Crystal Palace, and Rangers are expected to do plenty of transfer business before Monday night's deadline.
Danny Simpson is on his way to Leicester and Loic Remy is expected to join Chelsea, while Lassana Diarra has undergone a medical ahead of a move to Loftus Road.
Hill said: "It's going to be a busy 48 hours for everybody. We need people in. I'm sure the gaffer and the chairman will do that and it gives us a two-week break now to bed them in.
"Hopefully then we can hit the ground running against Manchester United away. It doesn't get any tougher."

Dos Santos sets up two goals and scores another against Senegal to send El Tri to semis
Giovani Dos Santos is improving with every game in the men's soccer tournament — and so are Mexico's medal chances.
Dos Santos led Mexico into the semifinals on Saturday, setting up two goals in regulation before scoring in extra time to help secure a 4-2 win over error-prone Senegal at Wembley Stadium.
Mexico is ensured of at least matching its previous best Olympic finish of fourth at its home games 44 years ago, and it will come back to Wembley on Tuesday looking to secure its first football medal with a victory against Japan in the semifinals.
Dos Santos said it was a typically hard-fought Mexican victory.
"It's all about confidence," Dos Santos said. "It was really important that at 2-2 we never gave up, that we kept running and fighting until that third goal. We worked hard for this win and now we're on our way to a medal."
Senegal had erased Mexico's 2-0 lead with second-half goals from Moussa Konate and substitute Ibrahima Balde, but then turned the ball over twice in extra time. Dos Santos pounced on a loose ball to curl in his goal past goalkeeper Ousmane Mane.
South Korea beat Britain 5-4 in a penalty shootout, advancing to the semifinals while eliminating the host nation. South Korea will play Brazil, which defeated Honduras 3-2.
The scandal-marred women's doubles competition concluded with Tian Qing and Zhao Yunlei of China defeating Japan's Mizuki Fujii and Reika Kakiiwa 21-10, 25-23 in the final.
Tian and Zhao are the players that inadvertently started off the problems at Wembley Arena by losing a match to a Danish team in the group stage. That set off a wave of trouble that led to the disqualification of four teams, including the favorites from China.
"To be honest we didn't really pay too much attention to it," Zhao said. "We're professional athletes. We concentrated on ourselves."
Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang made up the top-seeded team for the Games, but they were among eight players disqualified ahead of the quarterfinals for purposefully losing group matches in order to manipulate the pairings for the knockout stages.
Wang and Yu had lost only four matches in two years, but a feeble, deliberate loss in a group match to avoid meeting Tian and Zhao before the final disgraced them and they were kicked out of the tournament by the Badminton World Federation.
Beach volleyball
Two-time gold medalists Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor beat the Netherlands in straight sets to advance to the tournament quarterfinals. The Americans topped Marleen van Iersel and Sanne Keizer 21-13, 21-12. Reigning world champions Emanuel and Alison edged Germany 21-16, 21-14 to advance to the men's quarters. The Brazilians, the top-seeded team at the London Games, eliminated Jonathan Erdmann and Kay Matysik.
Britain won the women's pursuit team in a time of 3 minutes, 14.051 seconds to lower the world record they set earlier in the day. The U.S. team, which included Temecula's Sarah Hammer, grabbed the silver medal and Canada beat Australia for the bronze.

The annual Guns 'N Hoses softball game took place at Lake Stevens High School's new baseball field on Saturday, August 24 and this year's game did not disappoint.
Lake Stevens Fire got to maintain their bragging rights as the winners at this year's fun, family competition.
Lake Stevens Police Department brought in six runs, two of those home runs from Officer Danny "Wild Thing" Planalp and Frankie "The Franchise" Nelson, one right after the other.
LSFD's pitcher, Deputy Chief Larry Huff pitched a great game as well as bringing in a few runs of his own. The team consisted of both paramedics and firefighters. Together they made 23 runs in nine innings.
This annual event was put together by LSFD's Laana Larsen and LSPD's Julie Ubert in an effort to bring in donations to help support the Lake Stevens Family Center.
This year folks were asked to donate a snack to give to the LSFC.
Both the firefighters and police donate their time for this great cause each year in an effort to help provide for the needs of the community.
DJ Bob Justice also donated his time, talents and equipment and LSHS donated to use of the field. Umpires Gary Smith and Chris Jones also donated their time and Mayor Vern Little joined the police as their base coach.
Miss Aquafest 2012 Alliyah Riggen started the festivities with a heart-warming performance of our national anthem. Even the LSHS football players, who were practicing at the stadium, stopped, removed their helmets and placed their hands over their hearts while she sang.
Thanks to all of those who participated.
The Lake Stevens Police team included Chief Dan Lorentzen, Ron Brooks, Jimmy Zachor, Jamie Blakely, Chris Lyons, Danny Planalp, Michael Hingtgen, Matt McCourt, Chad Wells, Andy Thor, Frankie Nelson, Craig Valvick, Jared Wachtveitl and Dennis Irwin.
Lake Stevens Fire's team included Deputy Chief Larry Huff, Capt. Welch, Capt. Rasmussen, Paramedic Terry, Firefighter Hamblin, Firefighter Blake, Firefighter Kees, Firefighter Chester, Firefighter Eagle, Paramedic Aamold, Firefighter Korf and Firefighter Clint.

Who am I? That is a very hard question to answer. I have thought about for a long time. I still believe in traditional values. I still hold doors, say thank you and please. We are all here to hopefully find someone to love and spend the rest of our days with that person. That is what I am looking for. I'm not looking for a hook up I'm sure there are other places I could go for that. I'm not going to promise you the moon, the stars or my high school letterman jacket. We will find the moon and the stars together and I never lettered in anything in high school. I'm looking for someone who is real and wants someone who is real. This is who I am

FRISCO, Colo. (AP) — Authorities say a 24-year-old Florida man was killed in a snowboarding accident on an intermediate run at Keystone resort in Colorado.
The Summit County coroner's office says ski patrol found Joshua B. Allen, of Tampa, Fla., in the trees at about 11 a.m. Sunday. He was flown to a Lakewood hospital, where he died.
The coroner's office says the man was wearing a helmet but died of serious facial injuries and brain trauma possibly from hitting a tree.

While, a football or basketball championship is a community event.
It's public, and it makes a parent proud.
Social Status:
Of course, many parents appreciate academic performance, or even when a child has good manners or shows true generosity. It all counts. But, in our culture, school sports, high school and college athletics are reinforced as the top of the pyramid. It's not right.
We're too jock conscious—having a child that's a great athlete spells major social status in our country and communities.

The 2005 La Carriere (1,900 cases) is sensational and showing much better than it did last year, and then it was pretty stunning. This wine has terrific fresh acidity that buttresses the lemon and orange blossom notes mixed with honeyed pear and hints of peach and nectarine. A gorgeous, mineral-laced Chardonnay, it should drink nicely for 5-7 years.
(12/ 2007)
Light yellow. Mineral-driven aromas of orange zest, pear and smoked meat, complicated by an intense note of iodine. Surprisingly light on its feet, with focused citrus and mineral flavors underscored by vibrant minerality. The finish repeats the iodine element and shows outstanding length and focus.
(6/ 2007)
A big, bold style, with plenty of toasty oak and elements of graham cracker and wood. But also shows ripe, rich pear, apple and honeyed fruit that fans out nicely on the palate.

East Point, FL--- When the Franklin Seahawks hit the field Wednesday for the first day of spring practice it will be Aaron York running things there.
Coach York, pending expected approval of the Franklin County School Board, is taking the head coaching job at Franklin.
He moves south from Bozeman where he's spent the last 6 years as the defensive coordinator for Loren Tillman and the Bucks.
Coach York a 2000 graduate of Mosley, played football at, and received his degree from Louisiana College.
Locals may be rather familiar with his last name, he's the son of former Rutherford and Bay head baseball coach Freddie York.
Aaron succeeds Josh Wright at Franklin, coach Wright became Arnold's head coach several weeks ago.
York will continue his teaching duties at Bozeman and then drive each day to oversee spring drills at Franklin, which begin Wednesday.
Coach York met his new players Monday, he tells me that went well, he's excited to work with what he calls a good group of athletes who are headed in the right direction.

Private Practice Review: Getting Luckyby Christina Tran at . Comments
It isn't always easy differentiating right from wrong. In fact, some of the Oceanside Wellness doctors were caught "Breaking the Rules" to help their patients and to keep their secrets hidden on the second episode of the season.
I've said it a dozen times, and I'm going to say it again: Regardless of the situations Charlotte and Cooper are in, they always seemingly shine. Even when they were arguing about how to proceed with Cooper's patient, I couldn't help but feel like they had each other's backs. And, quite frankly, I absolutely love that!
I was upset that Cooper crossed the line and lost Charlotte's trust by breaking into her computer, but that's so Cooper. He's relentless when it comes to helping his patients. Luckily, his patient survived thanks to the stolen cord blood and forged documentation.
That's just it, though. Last week, Amelia cut into Pete's head when she clearly had a drink or two prior to the surgery. This week, Cooper broke the law and technically stole to save his patient. In both scenarios, the patients survived. However, it's disconcerting to constantly see the doctors simply get so... lucky. What if Pete hadn't made it? What if the transplant didn't work out for Cooper's patient? What if the donor's family needed the blood?
Moreover, I'm glad that Sheldon stepped up and talked to Charlotte about her relationship with Amelia. It's too bad that Amelia can't be mature enough to see why Charlotte had to suspend her from surgery. One thing's for sure, Amelia's growing sobriety issues continued to take a turn for the worst.
Elsewhere: I was ecstatic when Pete lashed out at Violet. When Pete appeared at the practice, I thought it was way too early. However, when I saw Violet there, I knew he was trying to get away from her. I'd be doing the same thing. Sure, Pete has grown "mean" and probably shouldn't use Violet as a "punching bag," but she isn't the easiest person to live with either. Again, I know that she was merely trying to help him during his recovery, but I definitely can understand why he might need some space from her.
As for the main lovebirds, they seemed genuinely happy. However, whether you're an AddiSam shipper or not, you've got to admit that any scene with Dr. Jake Reilly and Addison is entertaining. Do you think that Addison should have told Sam about Fiji, or "almost Fiji" as she put it?
By the way, how psyched are you now that Addison is content for a chance? From forcing Sam+condoms, giving up coffee, and getting off of birth control, Addison is obviously serious about getting a baby this time around (with or without Sam). Finally!
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this installment of Private Practice. It will only be a matter of time before Amelia's sobriety issues, as well as Addison's near Fiji incident, come to light. Until then, I'll be on the edge of my bed waiting next Thursday night to see what's to come of our favorite doctors and their soon-to-be-renamed Oceanside Wellness.
What did you think of "Breaking the Rules?" Are you still rooting for AddiSam? If not, what should we call Jake and Addison? How about... Jaddie?!?
I loveee AddiSam scenes!!!! Hot Hot Hot
I guess you'd call me an 'addisam shipper' but I just LOVE the chemestry they have (Kate and Taye) the fact that Addie is a cheater aside-she and Sam are friggin HOT together!!! I loved the opening scenes of Addison and Sam together and I love Addie's scenes with her therapist-she's become more honest and real and I love that Shonda has Addison in her first Adult relationship...I do however feel that Addison wanting a baby and Sam not and Addie running the practice is going to be a little bit complicated...
I do hope that Addie gets her baby this season but not with Jake Riley-I dont like their chemestry (their kiss at the end of last season? 0 hotness) I think he has an ulterior motive-its too conicdental that he's her fertility specialist and then he just so happens to show up at the practice wanting a job? I just dont believe his motives are pure...Im watching you Dr. Jake Riley... as far as everyone else goes: Coop/Charlotte:
I love them as a couple and thier relationship...Say what you want about Charlotte but she's definately the most logical/rational character on the show, and what she did with Coop and Ameila was right-she didnt know Amelia was drunk for sure and Cooper is her husband and he betrayed her trust as well as the law so I respect what she did...Coop having a kid will test their relationship greatly... Amelia:
I love that they're exploring her sobriety this season, which ya kinda knew would happen because at the beginning of season 4 she drank on the regular, I do hope she gets the help she needs this season though, this storyline's gonna be interesting to watch... Sheldon:
that guy is the Shrink for the entire Practice!!! Pete/Violet:
GO PETE!!!!! Violet has always been selfish and she always wants/makes Pete compromise or give up something but she never wants to give up anything or compromise...she left Pete twice and he had a heartattack after she left him alone with Lucas who witnessed the whole thing so you cant really blame Pete for yelling at Violet
Great episode.
Loved Charlotte, Sheldon and Addison more than anyone else this episode.
Amelia really caught me by surprise when she was seen drinking in the end.
I'm glad Jake was hired, as I like his character.
I'm very happy that Pete yelled at Violet, as she really needed that kick in the ass!
Was waiting for the blow-up, not that I liked it. However I see it as a step in the right direction, because it got Pete to open up about his anger/frustrations and Vi to explain her point of view to him. The Lucas talking scene at the end was just adorable. They should give that guy talking scenes in every episode, lol. I am having major trouble understanding how it's going to work with Addie having a baby - not with Sam, who hasn't changed his mind about kids, but still living with Sam... It's too confusing to wrap my head around and I can only see it blowing up in their faces in the end. Because unless Sam changes his mind about having kids, I don't see how they can remain together once Addie gets pregnant/adopts... I always expect Cooper to bend the rules, but this time he really overstepped... the fact that he would even attempt to guess Charlotte's password, not to mention actually get it right, approach the family and even faking their signature when they told him "no"... like Charlotte said, he was lucky it worked out and we better hope the family's kid won't ever need the chord blood or Cooper will have that kid's life on his hands. Amelia probably needs to hit bottom before she realizes that Charlotte being tough on her is out of concern for her, not to punish her. She's already seen Amelia slip once and she wants to make sure Amelia is ready before letting her back in. Tough love. Really like Jake, he had plenty of good ideas on how to handle the situation and I really think they will work. Of course he can't be perfect, because no one is, so I'm interested to find out what skeletons resides in his closet, lol.
I loved the entire episode, AddiSam are really hot loved all their scenes, everything about them, very good episode for them as a couple. Pete made me feel for Violet. love seeing Lucas, such a cute kid Loved the boys night out, I'm really looking forward to more of those with Sheldon/Pete. Great Episode, Again AddiSam left me speechless, best part of the episode
I missed last week's episode of Private Practice - Oct. 6th, Breaking the Rules. Could anyone tell me briefly what happened? Thank you.
Addake is better than jaddie, anw i love addison and all i want is to see her happy
Good episode for Addison. I think the entire episode built up to that moment when she said that she was genuinely happy. I'm happy that she's moving forward with her plans to have a baby and things are going well with Sam. But of course, you know that there'll be complications with Jake. And honestly, Sheldon and Violet's conversation is what tells you how complicated Addison's situation will eventually be. For Violet and Pete, there's obviously a lot of anger there and it was good than Sheldon brought those things to the surface. Obviously Violet is just trying to help and care for him but there's a lot of emotional stress on Pete's side. Him lashing out on her was quite a scene to watch and I can only imagine that isn't the end of it. As for Charlotte and Cooper, I hate how we haven't seen them have a truly happy scene as a married couple this season and that we probably won't be seeing that in a while. I understand Cooper's compassion but it doesn't give him the right to break laws. And this is something that obviously hits Charlotte hard. I actually don't get why people are hating on her when she's been completely rational throughout the series. As the reviewer said, she's actually the only one who gives priority to laws and rules. The first time Amelia operated drunk, she only knew about it after the surgery. And as for Pete, she wasn't sure that she was drunk and even she admitted that she didn't have a choice. She's been hard on Amelia for a reason and she showed her rationality when she allowed Amelia to take the breathalizer. She isn't self-righteous at all because she just plays by the book. People probably think she is just because she's the only one who really cares about laws and the like. She probably also offered to go to a meeting with Amelia as a way to help her in her sobriety. We have to remember that Charlotte cares about Amelia a great deal and that's one of the reasons she's so hard on her. As for letting Cooper get away with it, I think this story was more about showing how important trust is for this character. Rather than showing her reporting him, it was about her hurting because of what Cooper had done and really struggling with it. She loves him and that's the only reason why she didn't report him but she was clear that if there was a next time, she would. Btw, I hate how the first time Charlotte said "I love you" to him was when she was mad.
I love Addison and Sam together, so lets ditch the new dr."what's his name!"
I think Sam loves Addison enough to finally have a baby with her. Cooper and his sympathy....I think more doctors should REALLY care for their patients, like he does. Yes, Pete definately over re-acted! OMG, poor Violet..Love all the actors on PP, but Charlotte gets my highest praise, love her accent and the way everything is either black or white to her, no gray areas!!
I think Charlotte is doing great dealing with the law breakers. She let Amelia operate on Pete because there was no time for the neurosurgeon to get on time and she didn't know for sure she was drunk (no tests were done in Amelia) And what to do with Cooper's issue? She acted like every hospital chief would do trying to avoid a HUGE problem in all terms. But she told Cooper she would call the police if there was a next time, and I'm sure she'd do.

COLEMAN, Fla. (AP) - Authorities are reporting at least four people have been hospitalized after an incident at a federal prison in Florida northwest of Orlando.
The Orlando Regional Medical Center says four people have been hospitalized and they are expecting three others to be brought to the complex. It was not immediately clear whether inmates or prison officials were injured.
Lake-Sumter Emergency Medical Services also confirmed it had units at the Coleman Federal Correctional Complex on Sunday, but would not say why they had been called to the facility. The prison has four units that house low-, medium- and high-security inmates.
Prison officials did not answer calls Sunday evening from The Associated Press.
A spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons said she was gathering information.

Hello, and welcome to this, the final part of my tutorial series on doing photoediting with GNU/Linux and free software. I say final because after this, we're getting into the professional arena for which good books are a much better option than blogposts. What I will be covering in this is some basic photographic handling skills and how to do them in the gimp. I won't be using channels or layers in this tutorial but everything in here remains applicacable when you use them.
A common problem for a photographer when you shoot outside a studio, is that your light and color and backgrounds are not ideal, so we'll learn how to do some basic corrections, and how to highlight our subject against a cluttered background. Here is a picture I took at the 7thson gig, it was near the end of the show and to get it, I had to use a very high ISO level as the light was fading and I wasn't using a flash. The price I paid was digital noise – and the background is rather cluttered.
Here you see the image, in UFRaw, with our first bit of highlighting already busy: we're cropping out some of the wasted stuff.
I've not done much else in RAW on this one as the shot was really rather good, I only raised the exposure level very slightly.
Clicking on OK gives us the image in GIMP:
Our first problem is the digital noise that came from using a high ISO level, Gimp has a built-in tool to help correct this, called Despeckle (Filters|Enhance|Despeckle). UFraw also has such a tool but it offers far less control, despeckling costs you detail so you want to aim for an optimum balance to lose as little as possible and maintain a usable picture (if perhaps not a print-quality one).
This gives us a much better picture already. Now we can reduce some of the effects of despeckling by going for a softer-focussed image, for this we use one of GIMP's most useful tools, the Gausian Blur, with a smallish radius, it just softens the focus enough to smooth out the picture without losing so much detail as to harm it – in fact, it makes it prettier.
Now we want to deal with the background, ripping it out is possible but will cost us all context, instead we just want to remove it's eye-pulling effect while maintaining it's presence, so it provides atmosphere rather than interference. I started by removing the drummer's half visible head (as it contributed nothing) using the clone tool (I cover this in detail below), now for the fun part though – selecting the background outside the guitarist. Gimp offers an easy way to select complex shapes using the Path tool by clicking along the contours you can gradually select out your target.
Now we use Select|From Path to turn our path into a selection. You can also use the lasso tool for this, but only if you have a very steady hand. We will begin by reducing the coloring of the background making it effectively a semi-black-and-white image, thus reducing it's distracting effect a great deal and making it nice for atmosphere. First we need to adjust our selection a little, we start by shrinking it until it is just inside the border of the guitarist (Select|Shrink Selection) – so we'll have a smooth transition, then to smooth things further, we feather it (Select Feather) by about 5 pixels.
We invert the selection to select the background around the guitarist rather than the guitarist himself, we open the Hue/Saturation tool from the colors menu. and drop the saturation a good deal – this gradually reduces the coloring of the background, until we get a near black-and-white effect with just enough color to still look nice.
Below, you can see the results, already an improvement, but there's a catch – look at the guitar cable, it's now much brighter on the player's leg, and thus causes a problem, luckilly the way it runs, if we remove it, it will just appear that it ran behind him – so we have an easy answer, just get rid of it.
For this we use gimp's clone tool. Cloning lets us take one part of the image and paint over another with it, it's a powerful tool but at it's most basic, using a feather-edged brush of about 35-pixel diameter and the aligned mode, it lets us quickly paint out the cable using the surrounding denim.
Now all we do is another small gausian blur to remove the edges from the changes we made, and here we have our final result, it's pretty, it's got atmosphere and we've turned a bad-luck shot into a work of art.

Kidnapped Filipino school official released
Police Provincial director Senior Supt. Sofronio Ecaldre said the victim, Rudy Luna, was released around 11:51 p.m. Tuesday at the fish port of Tukuran town in the said province.
Luna's release, however, was not immediately announced since a follow-up investigation has been conducted, Ecaldre said.
He said Luna revealed during the debriefing conducted by the Anti-Kidnapping Group (AKG) that he was made to board a motorized banca accompanied by two gunmen and left the place of his captivity around 7 p.m. Tuesday.
They were tailed by two other gunmen aboard another motorized banca as they sailed at high seas until they reached the fish port of Tukuran town where Luna's captors abandoned him.
Being familiar to the place, Ecaldre said Luna walked until he reached the residence of his policeman-brother, Jun Luna, around 12:15 a.m. Wednesday.
Ecaldre said Luna was fetched to the hospital for medical treatment by his personnel and from the AKG. Since then, Luna remained confined at the hospital.
Luna was kidnapped together with his wife, Tessie, by gunmen who barged into their residence in Barangay Diplo, Kumalarang town, this province, the night of January 27.
The gunmen brought the couple to the shore at Sitio Dacun in the nearby Barangay Picanan aboard the family-owned Sports Utility Vehicle.
They sped to the high seas aboard a motorized banca as Tessie managed to escape while they were being forced to board the seacraft.
The couple are both school supervisors in the municipality of Kumalarang.

No. 08/360,720 filed Dec. 12, 1994, now abandoned, which is a §371 application claiming priority to PCT/FR93/00547 filed Jun. 9, 1993 and claims priority to foreign application FRANCE 92 07184 filed Jun. 15, 1992.
The present invention relates to a breathing aid apparatus, in particular for treating people which are prone to the disease called "sleep apnoea".
Sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS) is the accumulation of signs as well as their consequences due to the periodic interruption of respiration during sleep. The re-establishment of respiration generally only occurs when the person concerned wakes up. This phenomenon can occur several hundred times per night, with interruptions of 10 seconds or more each time.
Three types of apnoea syndrome exist, each corresponding to a particular pathology.
The first type, which is the most common, is obstructive apnoea. It results from an obstruction of the upper respiratory tracts caused by a collapse of the tongue and the palate. The respiratory movements continue, but because of this obstruction, air can neither enter nor leave the lungs.
The second type, which is rarer, is called "central apnoea". It is produced when the respiratory center of the brain no longer controls respiration. In the absence of a signal originating from the brain, the respiratory muscles do not function and air can neither enter nor leave the lungs.
The third type is mixed apnoea which is a combination of the two previous types, the start of the apnoea being of central type.
In the case of obstructive apnoea and mixed apnoea, treatment by continuous positive pressure is the most commonly used. This technique consists of permanently applying, via a nasal mask connected by a pipe to a pressure generating apparatus, a low positive relative pressure in the upper respiratory tracts in order to avoid their obstruction. This pressure prevents the tongue and palate from sticking together. The result is immediate: interrupted respiration is re-established, the lungs receive the oxygen they need and the person sleeps much better.
The optimum value of the pressure corresponds to the minimum allowing the suppression of apnoeas and the oxygen desaturations which result in the blood.
Determination of this optimum pressure is carried out in the laboratory, by subjecting the patient to a polygraph recording, and by progressively raising the level of pressure applied to the patient until the disappearance of respiratory incidents.
The treatment described previously, which consists of applying a constant pressure level to the patient throughout the night, has certain deficiencies.
In fact, the frequency and extent of apnoeas vary during the night according to the stage of sleep the patient is in. Also, they vary over time as a function of the development of the condition of the patient (gain or loss of weight, absorption of alcohol before going to sleep . . . ).
Therefore, the treatment pressure determined by the prescription is not necessarily adequate subsequently. Now, control recordings cannot be carried out regularly, due to their cost and the significant burden on sleep laboratories, connected with the large number of patients to be treated.
In addition, the patient is subjected to an identical pressure all night, whereas depending on the stages of his sleep, a lower pressure may be sufficient, or a higher pressure may be necessary. Now, the lower the average pressure applied during the night is, the better the patient's comfort will be and therefore his acceptance of the treatment, and the more the deleterious effects linked with too high a pressure will be minimised.
The aim of the present invention is to propose a breathing aid apparatus which allows the treatment to be optimized as a function of the effective needs of the patient at each stage of treatment.
According to the invention, the breathing aid apparatus, in particular for treating sleep apnoea, comprising means of producing a flow of breathable gas under a low positive relative pressure, and means for leading this flow to a respiratory mask, is characterized in that in addition the apparatus comprises means of acquiring a parameter representative of the respiratory activity of the patient, and automatic adjustment means for increasing the pressure applied at least when the representative parameter is indicative of a hypopnoea, and for reducing the applied pressure when the representative parameter is indicative of normal respiration over a predetermined time.
The term "hypopnoea" encompasses the phenomena of the total disappearance of respiration, and can also include certain phenomena of partial disappearance of respiration, due to a partial obstruction of the upper respiratory tracts.
Thanks to the invention, the treatment apparatus is no longer a simple constant pressure generator, but becomes an apparatus capable of detecting hypopnoeas and of adjusting the pressure level in order to suppress the hypopnoeas.
In this way, thanks to the apparatus, each time a hypopnoea is detected, the pressure is increased, preferably by increments, until the hypopnoea ceases. When no hypopnoea has occurred for a defined period of time, the pressure is reduced by a predetermined value.
This process allows hypopnoeas to be put to an end while permanently minimizing the applied pressure.
Preferably, the pressure cannot go below a lower threshold defined by the consultant and set on the apparatus, and of course it cannot exceed the maximum value that the apparatus is capable of delivering, or a maximum value defined by the doctor.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description below, with reference to the non-limitative examples.
In the attached drawings:
FIG. 1 is a diagram of an apparatus according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a flow chart for the operation of the computer of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3 and 4 are diagrams similar to FIG. 1 but relating to two other embodiments; and
FIG. 5 is a flow chart of the operation of the computer of the embodiment of FIG. 4.
The apparatus represented in FIG. 1 comprises a compressor 1 capable of producing through its delivery pipe 2 a breathable gas at a positive relative pressure, i.e. measured relative to atmospheric pressure, which depends on the rotational speed of the drive motor 3. In a non-represented manner, the compressor 1 is of a type which produces the positive relative pressure by a turbine for propelling breathable gas. The delivery pipe 2 is connected to a nasal mask 4 by a flexible tube 6. The nasal mask 4 is intended to be applied to the patient's face, for example by means of a strap. The mask 4 includes an opening 7 allowing the patient to expire despite the flow in the opposite direction coming from the compressor 1.
A comparator 8 permanently compares the pressure Pm detected in the delivery pipe 2 of the compressor 1 by a pressure detector 9 with a pressure set point Pc applied to the other input 11 of the comparator 8. As a function of the result of the comparison, the comparator 8 supplies at its output 12 a signal applied to a motor control device 13 to reduce the rotational speed of the motor 3 when the pressure measured by the detector 9 is greater than the pressure set point, and to increase the rotational speed of the motor 3 and therefore the pressure at the delivery pipe 2 when the pressure measured by the detector 9 is lower than the pressure set point.
In this way, the pressure at the delivery pipe 2 and therefore in the nasal mask 4, is approximately the same during the inspiration phases and during the expiration phases of the patient.
During the inspiration phases, a relative low pressure tends to be created at the delivery pipe 2 of the compressor 1, and maintaining the pressure at the set point value requires an increase in the rotational speed of the motor 3.
On the other hand, during the expiration phases of the patient, an excess pressure tends to be created at the delivery pipe 2, and maintaining the pressure at the set point value requires a decrease in the rotational speed of the motor 3.
Consequently, when the respiration of the patient is normal, the rotational speed of the motor 3 follows a periodical curve.
According to the embodiment in FIG. 1, a signal representative of the rotational speed of the motor 3 is applied by the control device 13 to the input 14 of a computer 16 whose function is to analyze the curve of the speed of the motor 3 as a parameter representative of the respiratory activity of the patient, and to modify the pressure set point Pc applied to the input 11 of the comparator 8 as a function of the result of this analysis.
In a general fashion, when the analysis of the curve of the rotational speed of the motor reveals a hypopnoea situation, the computer 16 increases the pressure set point.
On the other hand, if the analysis of the curve of the speed of the motor reveals an absence of hypopnoea for a certain predetermined period of time, the computer reduces by a predetermined amount the pressure set point.
The computer 16 is connected to a manual control 17 allowing the minimum pressure set point Pmin authorized by the doctor for each patient to be adjusted.
There will now be described with reference to FIG. 2, the flow chart according to which, essentially, the computer 16 is programmed.
In what follows, by "hypopnoea" is meant the symptom consisting either of an abnormal lowering (for example by 50%) of the respiratory activity, or the symptom of total apnoea consisting of the complete disappearance of respiratory activity.
At the start, the pressure set point Pc is chosen to be equal to Pmin, i.e. the minimum pressure set point chosen using the manual control 17 (stage 18).
In stage 19, the values An−8, An−7, . . . , An−1 of the amplitude of the motor speed variation during the eight respiratory cycles before the one which is currently being analyzed, are arbitrarily set equal to a value A0 which is relatively low.
Then, in stage 21, the average of the amplitudes of the eight previous cycles (average M) is calculated and two thresholds S1 and S2 are calculated with for example:
In stage 22, the extreme values of the rotational speed of the motor are sought.
In order to do this, the rotational speed of the motor at each execution cycle of the program is stored in memory. A maximum or minimum is only validated if the speed has then varied sufficiently so as to be back from this maximum or minimum by a value at least equal to threshold S2.
In other words, as the threshold S2 is greater than half of the average of the previous amplitudes, a given extreme value will only be processed if the speed again then reaches a value beyond that of the average of the speeds. In particular, if respiration stops (total apnoea), the speed of the motor assumes its average value and the previous extreme value is not validated. More generally, if an amplitude lower than threshold S2 tends to become established, it will no longer be possible to validate the extreme values.
After a period of time T1 equal for example to 10 seconds, this is detected in the following test 23. In the absence of an extreme value for 10 seconds, one follows the path "detection of strong hypopnoea" 24 of the flow chart, in which the four amplitudes An−8 . . . An−5 which are the oldest values still in memory are reduced to the relatively low value of A0. The aim of this is to reduce the thresholds S1 and S2 for the next calculation cycle so as to make the resumption of respiratory activity easier to detect.
Returning to test 23, if an extreme value was found within the 10 previous seconds and if this extreme value is the same as that already processed during the previous calculation cycle, one returns to stage 23 in order to search for extreme values.
If, on the other hand, the extreme value is new, one passes via stage 26 for calculating the new amplitude An, then, stage 27, storing in memory the amplitude An while simultaneously deleting the oldest amplitude in memory An−8.
In stage 28, the newly-calculated amplitude An is compared with the largest S1 of the two thresholds.
If the newly-calculated amplitude An is greater than threshold S1, one follows normal respiration path 29 which will be described further on.
In the opposite case, i.e. if the amplitude is between thresholds S1 and S2, it is considered that a weak hypopnoea 31 exists.
Whether strong hypopnoea 24 or weak hypopnoea 31 has been recorded, a test 32 is carried out in order to determine whether there was already a hypopnoea during the previous 30 seconds. If the result is negative a number MAP is reset to zero. MAP corresponds to the total increase in pressure in the previous 30 seconds.
If, on the other hand, there was hypopnoea during the previous 30 seconds, the MAP number is not reset to zero.
The following stage 33 consists of adding a relatively high increment to the MAP number if strong hypopnoea was detected, and a relatively low increment if weak hypopnoea was detected. Then, in stage 34, a test is carried out to establish whether the MAP number is greater than 6 cm of water (6 hPa). If the result is negative, stage 36, an increment X, being high or low depending on the strength of the hypopnoea, is added to the pressure set point Pc. If, on the other hand, MAP exceeds 6, the pressure set point Pc is only increased to the extent that the total increase in the previous 30 seconds is equal to 6 (stage 37).
The aim of this is to avoid increasing the pressure excessively to treat a single hypopnoea: if an increase of more than 6 cm of water is necessary to treat a hypopnoea, it is because there is some anomaly and it would be better to wake the patient up.
Then, the new pressure set point is applied to the comparator 8 in FIG. 1 on the condition that it does not exceed the maximum pressure set point Pmax. If the pressure Pc exceeds Pmax, the set point applied to the comparator 8 is equal to Pmax (stage 38). One is then returned to stage 21 in which the thresholds are calculated. If the strong or weak hypopnoea which was detected during the previous cycle is still not alleviated, the pressure set point will be increased by a new increment and so on until the total pressure increase MAP within 30 seconds reaches 6 cm of water or until the hypopnoea is alleviated.
In this way, the amplitude is compared to two different thresholds, one to detect strong hypopnoeas, including the total hypopnoeas, and to apply a relatively swift increase in the pressure set point, the other to detect weak hypopnoeas, resulting from a partial obstruction of the upper respiratory tract, and to apply a clearly milder increase in pressure.
One of the important features of the invention consists of analyzing the parameter representative of respiratory activity (the speed of the motor 3) not by comparison with absolute thresholds, but by comparison with the respiratory activity which has just preceded the respiratory anomaly. In fact, it has been noted that respiratory activity varies greatly during sleep, to the extent that an activity which would be considered normal during a certain phase of sleep can correspond to a hypopnoea in another phase of sleep.
Returning to path 29 of the flow chart, this leads to a test 39 for determining whether a time T has passed without detecting a hypopnoea. If the result is negative, one returns to stage 21 in which the thresholds are calculated.
If, on the other hand, a time T2, for example equal to 30 minutes, has passed without a hypopnoea, the pressure set point is reduced by, for example, 2 cm of water. In this way one provides an opportunity to bring the pressure applied to the patient to a lower value if this is possible.
However, if the new pressure set point thus became lower than the minimum pressure as set with the manual control 17 of FIG. 1, the pressure set point is simply reset equal to the minimum pressure set. Then, once again, one is returned to stage 21 in which the thresholds are calculated.
In the example represented in FIG. 3, which will only be described with regard to its differences relative to that of FIG. 1, a flow rate detector 41 is placed on the delivery pipe 2 of the compressor 1 whose signal is sent to an input 42 of the computer. On the other hand the computer no longer receives a signal corresponding to the rotational speed of the motor. It is now the flow rate signal provided by the detector 41 which provides the computer with the parameter representative of the respiratory activity. When the patient inspires, the flow rate detector 41 reveals a higher flow rate than when the patient expires. In other words, the variations in flow rate work in the opposite sense to those of the speed of the motor 3. Apart from that, nothing is changed, and the flow chart of FIG. 2 is valid for the embodiment of FIG. 3, with the exception that in stage 22 in which the extreme values are sought, the word "speed" must be replaced by the words "flow rate".
The example of FIG. 4 corresponds to a simplified version.
In this example, which will only be described with regard to its differences relative to that of FIG. 1, there is no pressure regulation at the delivery pipe 2, i.e., apart from situations of apnoea or hypopnoea, the motor 3 rotates at the same speed whether the patient inspires or expires. The pressure at the delivery pipe 2 is therefore relatively low when the patient inspires and relatively high when he expires. Therefore, the pressure at the delivery pipe 2 constitutes a parameter representative of the respiratory activity and it is, as such, detected by the pressure sensor 9. The computer 16, which receives the pressure signal 9 on an input 43, analyzes the pressure curve and provides the control device 13 of the motor 3 with a signal for increasing the speed of the motor 3 when the variations in pressure indicate a situation of hypopnoea, and for decreasing the speed of the motor 3 when any situation of hypopnoea has not been alleviated within a predetermined period of time, for example 30 minutes.
FIG. 5 represents a schematic flow chart according to which the computer 17 of FIG. 4 can be programmed.
At the start, the speed V of the motor is adjusted to a value Vmin (stage 44) set with a manual control 46 (FIG. 4).
Then one passes to stage 47 in which hypopnoeas are detected according to the amplitude of the variations in pressure. This stage can correspond to stages 21 and 22 of FIG. 2, except that it is then applied to the pressure instead of being applied to the speed of the motor. In the absence of hypopnoea, one passes via path 48 in which the speed of the motor is reduced by a predetermined value n′ if a time T2, for example 30 minutes, has passed without hypopnoea, without however lowering the speed to a value which is less than the set speed Vmin.
In the case of a hypopnoea being detected during a period of time greater than or equal to a value T1 of for example 10 seconds, the speed V is incremented by a predetermined value n, without however allowing the speed to exceed a value Vmax.
Consequently, in this simplified example, only a single degree of intensity of hypopnoea is distinguished and when the hypopnoea is detected, one and the same mode of action is envisaged in every case, i.e. an incrementation of the speed of the motor according to one predetermined step and one only.
Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples as described and represented.
In the computers of the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 and 3 a program could be envisaged which distinguishes only one type of hypopnoea, or on the other hand, the embodiment according to FIG. 4 could be equipped with a program which processes in a different way the weak hypopnoeas and the strong hypopnoeas as was described with reference to FIG. 2.
While particular forms of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is not intended that the invention be limited, except as by the appended claims.

The owners manual from the Honda link (from your other question) shows 5W-20. I'm not sure which oil filter your TL needs but I like to either use an OEM (Acura) filter or a good one from NAPA (I have a Napa Gold on my new Civic). It is mostly because I forgot to get one from Honda parts for my last oil change but they are good filters. If you walk into your Acura parts department, the counter people will help you get the right filter and drain plug washer (seal). The washer is usually only a dollar

Three Coeur d'Alene men were rescued and treated for hypothermia after there canoe capsized near Higgens Point (actually Osprey Point) on Lake Coeur d'Alene early this afternoon. The three — Jason S. Parker, 58, Sierra R. Parker, 32, and Ronald G. Sever, 65, were dumped into the lake when their canoe tipped about 100 yards offshore on Lake Coeur d'Alene. Jason Parker was able to swim to shore, while Sierra Parker and Sever clung to a boat. They were in the 52-degree water for about 30 minutes before being rescued by the fireboat. None of the three wore a lifejacket, according to a sheriff's press release. The report also said that alcohol was a factor in the incident. You can read the entire news release here.

The 50 Greatest Inventions Since the Wheel
Why did it take so long to invent the wheelbarrow? Have we hit peak innovation? Which inventions have done the most to shape the nature of modern life? These questions inspired James Fallows and The Atlantic, along with a panel of 12 scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers, and historians of technology, to assess the technological breakthroughs that have done the most to transform the way we live today. From anesthesia (No. 46) to the plow (No. 30), the pill (No. 20) to gunpowder (No. 14), Fallows explores what the list reveals about imagination, optimism, and the nature of progress.
Plus, the venture capitalist John Doerr predicts two coming breakthroughs to bet on: battery technology and digital health.
The Inventors
Fifty or 100 years from now, who will scholars of technology identify as the Eli Whitneys or the Thomas Edisons of the early 21st century, the visionaries whose inventions shaped the world? The Atlantic asked leading figures in technology, science, medicine, and design to nominate the person alive today whose work they believe will have the greatest impact on society. Here, the 10 thinkers they chose—including Elon Musk, a co-founder of PayPal, SpaceX, and Tesla Motors; Janette Sadik-Khan, the commissioner of New York City's Department of Transportation; and Jeff Beszos, the founder and CEO of Amazon.
The Great Forgetting
We rely on computers to fly our planes, find our cancers, design our buildings, and audit our businesses. That's all well and good, but what happens when the computer fails? Nicholas Carr wonders: What are we humans forfeiting to automation?
The New Science of Old Whiskey
In April 2006, a tornado struck the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, devastating the warehouse and leaving 25,000 barrels of whiskey exposed to the elements. Years after the cleanup, the barrels were opened and the bourbon was good. Really good. Which is why, Wayne Curtis explains, bourbon makers are attempting to better understand the science behind a 2,000-year-old invention, the barrel—and maybe even improve its design.
The Man Who Would Teach Machines to Think
When he was 35, in 1980, Douglas Hofstadter won the Pulitzer Prize for his book on how the mind works, Gödel, Escher, Bach. It became the bible of artificial intelligence, the book of the future. But then AI changed, and Hofstadter didn't change with it. As James Somers reports, he all but disappeared from the field. But what if the best ideas about AI—answers to questions like "What is thinking?"—are yellowing in Hofstadter's desk drawer in Indiana, far from academic circles and the conference circuit?

"Mum, what's irony?" my son asked recently. I thought for a bit, searching for an easy way to explain to a 12-year old a concept denoting "an outcome of events contrary to what might have been expected, and the incongruity of this" (www.dictionary.com).
I plumped for the first best example that popped into my head: "Imagine your mother is writing a cancer-prevention cookbook. She tests and eats immune-boosting dishes every day. And just as she finishes the book, she is diagnosed with cancer."
My example was probably a little close to home; I have, in fact, spent the past two years writing a cancer-prevention cookbook, and I did overcome early-stage cervical cancer 10 years ago. To avoid alarming my son, I quickly reassured him that this was not a real-life scenario and that I am in excellent health. But our conversation gave rise to a niggling question in my mind: am I really doing everything I can to be healthy?
One thing is sure: I eat a healthy diet. Especially since researching and writing the book, I consume more green leafy vegetables, multicolored fruits, omega-3-rich fish, raw cocoa and green tea than most people can imagine. But while focusing so intently on the immune-boosting powers of food, I have, during the past two years, neglected two other important lifestyle factors that are vital in boosting immunity: exercise and rest.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a middle-income family will spend more than $250,000 to raise a child. And that total does not include private schools, infertility treatments, or special lessons. College costs alone can add another $100,000 to $300,000.
Clearly, if money were the only factor, our population growth would come skidding to a halt. Although the joys and rewards of parenting can't be measured in dollars, it's important to prepare for the financial impact of having a baby. Here is a checklist for before and just after you bring a baby into your family.
Review your health insurance to make sure pregnancy checkups, the delivery and new baby care are adequately covered. Sometimes an HMO or Preferred Provider (PPO) health insurance will cover well-baby visits and checkups while the traditional 80-20 plans won't. If you opt for an HMO or PPO, check to see if your physicians and hospital are on the list and the list of providers remains stable.
If you have recently switched jobs or need to get your own insurance, make sure pre-existing conditions are covered. Don't forget to add your baby to your health insurance policy as soon as she is born.
The time to get disability insurance (if your employer doesn't provide it) is before you get pregnant. Most policies will cover pregnancy complications, but read the fine print. Check the waiting period, definition of disability and duration of benefits in addition to the amount of the benefit. You may wish to supplement an employer-provided policy with your own.
