Since his literary debut at the age of 18, Norwegian author Stig Sæterbakken has made a name for himself by challenging convention. At times, this challenge has manifested as an interrogation of the Norwegian nation's sense of identity and its relationship to Europe. At others, it has revealed itself more questionably, such as during the 2009 Norwegian Literary Festival on "Truth," when Sæterbakken, the festival's artistic director, invited universally reviled Holocaust denier David Irving to be a speaker at the event. (In his New York Times review of Siamese, author Jim Krusoe suggests that Sæterbakken might have been reasonably motivated in this instance, inviting Irving in order to "see what would happen when an agreed-upon truth was forced to confront a pernicious, stubborn falsity.")
More than simply igniting controversy, however, Sæterbakken has established himself as an accomplished poet, essayist, translator, and fiction writer with more than a dozen publications to his credit. His novella Siamese, which was translated into English earlier this year, is the first installment in Sæterbakken's "S-Trilogy" (so-called because all three titles begin with the letter 's'). Sparsely narrated in unadorned, clipped prose, Siamese tells the story of Edwin and Erna, an elderly couple whose relationship embodies a sort of degenerating symbiosis, a mutually antagonistic and passively spiteful codependency from which neither can escape.
Edwin, the former administrator at a retirement home, is now almost completely blind and living in self-imposed isolation in his and Erna's apartment bathroom. Subsisting almost entirely on gum and flat cola, Edwin has forced his body into the most fetid deterioration, a squalor sustained—and in some respects, supported—by his hapless, nearly deaf wife whom he harangues and berates as a matter of sport. Isolated as he is—dependent on Erna for everything from changing his catheter to spoon-feeding him the occasional meatball—Edwin takes every opportunity to exert the substantial control he has over Erna, and by extension, his waning life. "It's my world in here," he states proudly.
Here, my word is law. I know this room like the back of my hand. It's as though I have a map of the room in my mind, and I'm intimately familiar with all its sounds, I hear even the slightest movement…It's true, nothing that anyone does in here escapes my attention. I need to know their positions and what they're doing at every moment. And whenever anyone else is here, anyone aside from Sweetie, that is, I immediately have the upper hand, immediately score a decisive victory over nature, over what nature's taken away from me, now wholly at ease, empowered. It's me who dominates the situation.
Despite all her slavishness, Erna too finds ways of exerting her dominance over Edwin. While her husband opts for more obvious aggression and emotional abuse, Erna's manipulations and quiet acts of defiance remain almost entirely undetected by her husband. For instance, Edna's deceit about Edwin's trusted physician, Dr. Amonsen. Although the doctor has long since moved away, Erna continues to pass along medical advice to Edwin under Amonsen's authority. "He's always seen Dr. Amonsen as his savior. His faithful defender." she explains.
. . . I've always lied to Edwin when he asked about Amonsen. I didn't know what else I could do . . . When Edwin asks me to ask Dr. Amonsen about something, I always let a few days go by before I tell him what Amonsen's reply was. And as long as I say it was Amonsen who told me this or that, Edwin accepts it immediately.
In the course of tracing Edwin and Erna's increasingly confrontational power struggle, Siamese explores the truly elemental fears and desires that motivate all of us—the fear of death or inadequacy, the frailty of the body, the need to feel in control, the desire for power. The couple's relationship is one that also has the potential to be read as a larger, historical allegory. Consider a speech called "My Heart Belongs to Europe. Therefore It is Broken," that Sæterbakken gave in 2005, during which he discussed the former Norwegian alliance with Denmark. "Our union with Denmark lasted over 400 hundred years," he said. "The Danish rule is often referred to as the '400-year-night,' an expression taken from Ibsen's Peer Gynt":
Recent research, however, has cast doubt over our conception of this long lasting oppression that we, obviously being the weaker half of the Siamese twin Denmark-Norway, experienced during the union…[A] considerable part of the culture we think of as being fundamentally Norwegian, as symbols of Norway as a nation, has been given us by foreigners, Danes mainly, the influence from Danish culture, especially through trading, goes much further back in time than those 400 years of Danish reign.
Without delving too far into Sæterbakken's assertions about Norwegian cultural history, one can still appreciate the symbolism that he seems to allude to here, and apply it to Edwin and Erna's relationship in Siamese. The metaphor of two mutually dependent and mutually destructive countries can perhaps expand the scope of this hermetic novel and give it more resonance for readers familiar with Scandinavian history. No matter how it is interpreted, however, Sæterbakken's novel presents a challenging and frequently disturbing portrait of the balance of power and wages of control in any codependent relationship.
Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .

Quorum International 5126-2 2-Light Summerset Bathroom Sconce
Product Description
This 2-Light Bathroom Sconce by Quorum International is available in a toasted sienna finish. It is available with antique amber scavo glass. Illuminated by two 100-watt frosted incandescent bulbs.
The very name, Summerset, evokes a quiet New England village of Victorian homes and pristinely maintained public buildings and gardens. With classic embellishments from earlier eras of lighting design, and the overall appearance of late 18th-century and early 19th-century wrought and cast metals, and the fluted glass shades, Quorum's Summerset bathroom sconce will fit into just about any traditional interior.
- Colorful or uniquely patterned glass diffusers are typically hand made and, as such, will exhibit some variation in both color and pattern. Such variations should be considered normal and indicative of hand crafting rather than machine production.

1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 cup
3 cups
cake flour
1 teaspoon
baking powder

I too grew up eating this cake, and this recipe took me right back to my childhood. It was quite yummy and lots of fun to make! Thanks for sharing :)
I know it says that it tastes better without frosting, but I used a recipe for buttercream icing submitted by Sharon Gerstman and it was a wonderful combination!!
Did not care for at all.

This recipe is amazing. I made a few minor changes which reflect what was available in my kitchen: I used Vanilla soy milk instead of milk, replaced the lemon juice with Key lime juice and baked it in a jelly roll style pan to lessen the cooking time. Mine took about 20 to 25 minutes and oh goodness, it's excellent! It has the texture of the cream cheese poundcake I make with out the extra fat. We ate it as dessert with sugared strawberries and whipped cream spooned over the top and have been attacking it plain since. The flavor is exactly like a perfectly smooth and soft sugar cookie.
This is the recipe I grew up with and this was the first time I've made it myself. I find this recipe lighter than other poundcakes - not as dense, buttery, or sweet. Reminds me of a sugar cookie in cake form and kids love it. Makes very good strawberry shortcake, otherwise I'll just dust with powered sugar.
Very nice. This is not sweet enough to suit our tastes, however. This does taste somewhat like a sugar cookie in a cake. It is very light. I could not taste any lemon or butter. I doubt I will make again, but if you are in the market for a light, somewhat bland, not that sweet pound cake then this is perfect. I can imagine that this would be great with sugared fruit, etc. as a topping. By the way, I baked this in a bundt pan for 70 minutes and the edges had already started to burn a tad.

Community Bankers Trust Corporation Conditionally Approves But Defers Dividend On TARP Preferred Stock
GLEN ALLEN, Va., Aug. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Community Bankers Trust Corporation, the holding company for Essex Bank (the "Company") (NYSE Amex: BTC), announced today that its Board of Directors has conditionally approved the August 2012 payment of its regular quarterly cash dividend with respect to its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, which the Company issued to the United States Department of the Treasury in connection with the Company's participation in the Treasury's TARP Capital Purchase Program in December 2008. The Company's payment of the dividend is conditioned upon the approval of the Company's federal and state regulators, as set forth in the formal written agreement that has been in place since April 2011.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120727/PH46884LOGO )
Rex L. Smith, III, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Similar to what we experienced back in February of this year, regulatory approval of the August TARP payment was not able to be timed to the deadline for this payment. We submitted our request for payment in the period required by the written agreement, but we have been advised that our federal regulators have not yet completed the approval process. As we have previously reported, our financial condition and earnings continue to improve each quarter, and they have improved significantly from where we were when we anticipated that we would enter into the written agreement with our regulators."
Mr. Smith added, "In addition, we believe that we have properly addressed the supervisory issues regarding our safety and soundness, and thus we are unaware of an outstanding operational or similar issue that creates an impediment to our making this TARP payment. One of our primary goals continues to be the catch-up of all payments due, and ultimately the pay-off of our entire TARP obligation, as earnings and our capital resources permit."

|12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
|13 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew in midheaven, "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!"
|13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: "Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!"

Tomato soup sunday
Om ni kanske inte redan listat ut det så är i alla fall ett stort intresse hos mig MAT! Jag älskar att laga mat, äta mat, fota mat, testa olika recept och freestyla mig fram. Försöker alltid ha ekologiska ingredienser när jag har råd. Idag har jag tappat rösten (för mycket vin denna helg helt enkelt), och då kändes det som en solklar tomatsoppa-dag. Till det, hembakat bröd. Ah.
In case you didn't already figure it out, one of my biggest interests is food! I love to cook food, eat food, take pictures of food, try different recipes and freestyle my way. I always try to use organic ingredients when I can afford it. Today I lost my voice (too much wine this weekend), so it felt like a natural tomato soup day. With it, home baked bread. Ah.

It's furthermore vital to post your own review of tackle that has either been a great or a por addition to your collection. Deflecting collaterdal damage too a client's goood name is something they don't teach in law school' but thhey should.

Batteries are also still becoming smaller and more versatile in their application. They did, however, have 4 D holders, and two of those could be connected in series for the requisite 12 volts. It is easier to prevent this inconvenience with better planning by looking aat thhe benefits of using a portable air conditioner.

Santee Cooper rates up in each of next 2 years
MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (AP) — Santee Cooper is increasing its electric rates an average of 3.5 percent in each of the next two years.
The state-owned utility announced Wednesday the first rate adjustment takes effect on Dec. 1 with the second following on Dec. 1 of next year. The utility says its base rates have not increased in almost three years.
Santee Cooper says the increase is needed to comply with environmental regulations and meet costs of new power generation. Those costs include building a new $10 billion reactor at the V.C. Summer Nuclear Plant that Santee Cooper will operate jointly with South Carolina Electric & Gas.
Santee Cooper supplies power to about 2 million South Carolinians either directly or through electric cooperatives. The utility held hearings on the proposed rate increase earlier this summer.

At more than 900 learning centers across the world, Sylvan offers kids a leg up through personalized, one-on-one programs prescribed by an in-depth skills assessment. Students build on past lessons to learn progressively, and sessions may hone in on different disciplines, granting kids the confidence to interpret literature and the rhetorical skills needed to negotiate a later bedtime. The positive mindset of personable, invested instructors helps to inspire kids to greater academic feats, as does a prize program that rewards hard work with CDs and gift cards.
Weak cognitive skills can make it difficult for students to fully grasp and understand concepts, even after extensive tutoring and reteaching. LearningRx's brain-training programs aim to strengthen those skills so students can improve their capacity to learn.
At the center, assessment tests are given first to seek out areas that need more work and determine which brain-training programs are suitable for the student. Then LearningRx's experts work with students one-on-one to give them immediate feedback and encouragement to overcome their challenges. The center welcomes children and adults of all ages, as well as visitors with attention disorders, autism, and dyslexia. The brain-training sessions can also help participants gain a competitive advantage in college or in their careers.
At Mathnasium, kids in grades K-12 receive individualized attention during tutoring sessions that cover a range of concepts and subject matter. The center's programs include month-to-month memberships with two to three sessions per week, private sessions up to 90 minutes each, and homework help a few times per week. In the event of an upcoming school entrance exam or other important test, Mathnasium also supplies students with test prep skills to instill good test-taking habits, such as getting the answers right.
The staff members at Sylvan Learning's numerous study facilities understand that each child learns differently. Therefore, they don't try to implement a uniform tutoring system; instead, they design custom lesson programs based on the results of standardized testing, diagnostic tools, and one-on-one interviews.
Tutors work with students from kindergarten through grade 12, illuminating topics ranging from basic reading and writing to remembering complex algebraic formulas without having them tattooed on your chest. Many of Sylvan's instructors work in local schools, so they are intimately familiar with common curricula and understand how to gear lessons toward optimal results. After-school and summer classes can ready high-schoolers for the rigors of the ACT or the SAT, or they can help students to wow college-admissions officers with their superior essay-writing skills.
The pilot and passengers soar noiselessly over the Tennessee countryside—casting their shadow on hills, ridges, and along the banks of the Hiwassee River. At heights of several thousand feet, the CFIG-certified pilot-instructors at Chilhowee Gliderport let passengers experience a motor-less, silent journey via natural thermals, ridge-lift currents, and winds from political speeches that occur year-round. FAA-certified pilots at the helm of Pawnee tow planes pull gliders to the desired height, where pilots introduce passengers to bird's-eye views. The gliderport also holds seasonal events such as fall-color flights and summer flight camps.
At first glance, Pettit Creek Farms looks much the same as other farms. Cows moo and goats bleat from the barnyard, while wagons full of hay and passengers trundle along. But then someone rides by on a camel. A zebra cranes its striped neck over a fence, searching for handfuls of oats, and KatieBird the emu ruffles her feathers at passersby.
It's around the holidays that this unusual farm becomes its most active. In the fall, as the temperature drops and the pumpkin patch ripens, visitors can be seen perusing the squashes and heard trying to navigate the winding corn maze. And, come winter, the farm fires up thousands of Christmas lights, creating a mile-long wonderland for visitors to drive through.

You Can Help Make Linked Data Core To The Future of Identity, Payment On The Web Platform
At the end of September, The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) may approve the world's first Web Payments Steering Group, to explore issues such as navigating around obstacles to seamless payments on the web and ways to better facilitate global transactions while respecting local laws. Identity and digital signatures have a role here, at the same time as they go beyond the realm of payment into privacy and other arenas. At the end of October, there also will be a W3C technical plenary, to discuss identity, graph normalization, digital signatures and payments technologies.
Expect Linked Data to come up in the context of both events, Manu Sporny told attendees at this August's 10th annual Semantic Technology & Business conference in San Jose during his keynote address, entitled Building Linked Data Into the Core of the Web. "It is the foundational data model to build all this technology off of," said Sporny, who is the founder and CEO of Digital Bazaar, which develops technology and services to make it easier to buy and sell digital content over the Internet. (See our stories about the company and its technology here.) He also is founder and chair of the W3C Web Payments Community Group, chair of its RDFa Working Group, and founder, and chair and lead editor of the JSON-LD Community Group.
In fact, Sporny said during his talk, identity and payment are the two opportunities for Linked Data killer apps to be born – indeed, to make Linked Data not just something that people use in a secondary or tertiary way, but as a thoughtful choice for solving complex problems in a fairly simple and straightforward manner. The current web platform, he said, is broken in both the identity and payment areas, relying on legacy centralized login user name and password mechanisms and "archaic forms of value transfer."
The W3C, he said, can empower organizations to care about the problems of identification, such that individuals can provide who they are to a website in an interoperable and secure way, as well as empower those organizations to care about high value payment transactions, which themselves require a standard verifiable identity mechanism. And it can set them up with a framework, "effectively Linked Data, digitally signed Linked Data, to enable them to solve the problem themselves."
Said Sporny, when it comes to identity, "We need the ability to have third-party digitally signed credentials using a simple and extensible solution, and honestly Linked Data is the only game in town as far as I can tell." The goals for work in Linked Data here in the next two to five years will include a focus on a secure way of storing and transmitting such credentials: "Solve this, and you solve the log-in problem on the web," he said, as well as address the need for verifiable identification for higher-order payments.
A Walk Through Linked Data At The Core
Further showcasing Linked Data's potential, Sporny discussed its role in payment initiation and digital receiving. Instead of users giving all their credit card information to merchants in a pull model (and potentially exposing that data to hackers), he talked about moving to a push model. In that model, merchants could mark up their offers for sale in Linked Data, listing all the information associated with the offer on web sites, and then a software agent or web browser or wallet software would pull that offer, and with the buyer's authority, send it to their payment processor. Payment would be sent to merchants through that mechanism.
"You need an initiation payment standard on the web,… and it seems like Linked Data ideally is suited for this," he said. It provides a standard way to get the basic information right, while allowing vertical markets to layer their specific information atop that. The Web Commerce API is being worked on to support this.
Once the money is moved into the merchant account, buyers would be issued digital receipts of sale that serve as proof of purchase to give back to the merchant. To this end, a digital receipts standard is needed, and "we're looking at an extensible data format [such as] JSON LD" for that.
Sporny also discussed the problem of trust on the web, noting that, "The trust layer of the semantic web layer cake is a big problem – we need this mechanism and that means we need help building it."
Importantly, he advocated that members of the industries that will benefit from moving in all the directions he discussed step up and be involved in the various groups that are working on digital signatures, identification and payments – or anyone who just wants to see Linked Data move into the core functions people perform on the web.
"You've got to bang down the W3C door and say this work has to be done," he said. "Right now people are a little too silent….This work doesn't happen without the involvement of you."

As mentioned above, there is only the filter [asterisk-iptables] enabled. Attacks on the asterisk occur very irregular. Daly checks in the corresponding log-files show that nothing happened since the last one. I changed now the parameters in jail.conf to
maxretry = 5
bantime = 259200
thus not specifying a findtime. I will see how fail2ban will be able to handle the next attack. I don't have much hope that it will improve. At least I would still be able to see whether fail2ban did put the IP into the host.deny-file or not. However, to my understanding, the log of the last attack actually indicates that the IP has first been placed in the host.deny-file. One finds there the three distinct actions "banned", "already banned" and "unban".

Meet the Faculty Night / Welcome Back BBQ and Community Open House
This year we are combining these three events into one spectacular evening. Here's to hoping that our entire school community can join us on Thursday, September 18th, from 5:00 – 7:00pm.
September 1, 2014
Dear Students, Parents and Guardians,
On behalf of the entire Carleton Heights Public School faculty, I would like to welcome all of our students, parents, and community members 'back to school'. For those of you who are new to our school community; Welcome and thank you for joining one of the Ottawa Carleton District School Board's best schools. Over the last year, our students and faculty have gone through an incredible change; however, we are finally ready to open the doors to our brand new facility. I'm sure you will agree that our school looks and feels completely different and has a very 'shiny new' feel to it. Over the past couple of weeks the faculty have been busily setting up their classrooms and have been excitedly waiting for the student's arrival.
First Day Procedures
Our class lists have been posted on the front doors of the school. On Tuesday morning, all staff will be on the back schoolyard to meet-and-greet the students. If your child is unsure who their teacher is, there will be plenty of staff around to help direct students to the appropriate line-up.
Student Activity Fee
Once again, we are requesting a student activity fee for the 2014-2015 school year. This fee will be used to support a variety of initiatives including student agendas, field trips, visual arts, and extracurricular activities. The fee for students from JK to Gr. 6 is $20, and the fee for students in Gr. 7 & 8 is $25. If convenient, we would appreciate you sending these funds to the school as soon as possible. Our preferred method is payment by cheque.
The intent of this activity fee is, as previously stated, cover the cost of the student agenda that we have purchased for every student, but is also to ensure that we do not have to ask parents for $2.00 here or $2.00 there throughout the school year as we bring in special performances, Scientists in the School, etc.
Meet-the-Teacher / Grand Opening
In the near future we will send home an invitation to our annual Meet-the-Teacher and official "Grand Opening" of the building. We hope that you will be able to join us for this event as we are very proud of our beautiful new facility.
Again this year, many of our students will be transported to and from school by bus/van. Please visit the Ottawa Student Transit Authority's website to determine your pick-up and drop-off time and location.

Here is to wishing all of our families a fantastic school year. Should you have any questions or feedback that will help our school on its journey to excellence, please do not hesitate to contact me, as my door is always open.
Warm regards,
Andrew Canham
Dear Parents/Guardians:
As we rapidly approach the end of Aril, we welcome the site of our long-dormant flowers as they begin to push their way up through the soil into the spring air. Finally!
Education Week
Every year in Ontario schools across the province celebrate Education week during the first week of May. I am very excited to announce that the theme for this year's Education Week (May 5-9) is Achieving Excellence in Education. Please watch for an announcement of the exciting details this upcoming week which will include an open house, Arts Night Celebration, a student assembly, etc.
Tell Them From Me – School Climate Survey
Once again this year all students in Grades 4-8 in the OCDSB will complete a "Tell Them From Me – School Climate Survey". All Ontario schools are required to complete a school climate survey at least once every two years. The purpose of a school climate survey is to better understand perceptions about safety at school. We know that when students feel safe and welcomed at school that they are more likely to achieve at high levels. Read more about the TTFM.

Publication Details
The Drosophila casein kinase I epsilon/delta Discs overgrown promotes cell survival via activation of DIAP1 expression
2007; 303 (1): 16-28
The proper number of cells in developing tissues is achieved by coordinating cell division with apoptosis. In Drosophila, the adult wing is derived from wing imaginal discs, which undergo a period of growth and proliferation during larval stages without much programmed cell death. In this report, we demonstrate that the Drosophila casein kinase Iepsilon/delta, known as Discs overgrown (Dco), is required for maintaining this low level of apoptosis. Expression of dco can suppress the apoptotic activity of Head involution defective (Hid) in the developing eye. Loss of dco in the wing disc results in a dramatic reduction in expression of the caspase inhibitor DIAP1 and a concomitant activation of caspases. The regulation of DIAP1 by Dco occurs by a post-transcriptional mechanism that is independent of hid. Mutant clones of dco are considerably smaller than controls even when apoptosis is inhibited, suggesting that Dco promotes cell division/growth in addition to its role in cell survival. The dco phenotype cannot be explained by defects Wingless (Wg) signaling. We propose that Dco coordinates tissue size by stimulating cell division/growth and blocking apoptosis via activation of DIAP1 expression.

Sleep solutions: What docs are doing to help troops get some shut-eye
Having trouble sleeping?
You are not alone. A 2013 study of 726 active-duty soldiers at Madigan Army Medical Center, Washington, found that more than half had moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea and one in four suffered from insomnia.
The average amount of time the troops spent asleep was 5.74 hours — well below the seven to eight hours of quality sleep considered optimal by the National Sleep Foundation and under the minimum 6.5 hours stressed by many military physicians.
Without a decent night's sleep, service members are more prone to poor decision-making, accidents and symptoms of depression. Both sleep deprivation and excessive sleep — considered to be more than nine hours — can make a person vulnerable to weight gain, heart conditions and stroke.
It's been thought that military sleep problems are related to combat exposure or post-traumatic stress. But new research shows that deployment itself may play a major role in both developing sleep disorders and retaining them after deployment.
"In one study, 100 percent of veterans with PTSD had sleep problems and 90 percent without PTSD reported them, and many who deploy don't return to predeployment sleep levels when they come back," says Dr. Christopher Nelson, a Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, psychiatrist.
Short of knocking back an Ambien or Lunesta — both which have side effects that pose a risk to troops — is there a way to work toward getting a good night's sleep?
Defense and Veterans Affairs department experts weighed in May 4 during a seminar at the American Psychiatric Association annual meeting in New York City.
"This is far and away the biggest complaint our patients have. Everyone has problems with sleep," said Lt. Cmdr. Paul Sargent, division officer of the Navy's Overcoming Adversity and Stress Injury Support, or OASIS, residential combat-related PTSD program.
With the high incident rate of sleep apnea in a population that does not have the weight issues or advanced age normally associated with apnea, Dr. David FitzGerald, a neurologist at the Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, Florida, sends his patients to the sleep clinic for testing. He has found that for many, a continuous positive airway pressure machine, or C-PAP, provides nearly instant relief.
"If it was just PTSD that was causing these problems with sleep, how is that that so many people benefit from using a C-PAP? … It's not just PTSD," FitzGerald says.
If the problem is not apnea or nightmares associated with PTSD that keep troops awake at night, other factors may be at play, including mild traumatic brain injury, anxiety or body clocks gone haywire.
Fortunately, technology can help develop good sleep habits, experts say.
Among the top recommendations is a mobile application developed by VA, DoD and others called CBT-I Coach (CBT stands for cognitive behavioral therapy).
While the app is supposed to be used in conjunction with professional treatment for insomnia, it can be downloaded and followed by anyone who wants to improve their sleep, says Rachel Markwald, a sleep researcher at the Naval Health Research Center.
The app includes a sleep diary, information on quieting the mind and establishing an optimal sleep environment, reminders to follow, and sleep assessments.
"I highly recommend this product, and it's available for free," Markwald says.
Other technological advancements include body-monitoring devices such as Jawbone Up and Fitbit One, activity trackers that register movement, rest and sleep.
The devices can monitor how long a person stays in bed, when they go to sleep and the time they wake.
"It can tell whether you are asleep or awake … they say they can differentiate between deep and light sleep, but that's not true, based on 20-plus years of research in the field. But I look at it as assessing whether I am asleep or not … it's information available to me," says Markwald, who wears a Jawbone Up.
Other downloadable apps for smartphones include Sleep Cycle for iOS and Sleepbot for Android. Both use a phone's accelerometer to determine activity and sleep. They also claim to differentiate between light or deep sleep, dreaming or REM (rapid eye movement).
But again, Markwald says, while they document sleep, the cool graphics showing sleep levels and cycles aren't necessarily accurate.
"Still, they do provide a good overview," she says.
Those seeking a less state-of-the-art solution may find it in acupuncture, an alternative therapy with growing popularity among troops, Navy researchers say.
In a study conducted at the Naval Medical Center San Diego, sailors found that acupuncture on the ear improved sleep quality and daytime focus as well as decreased pain.
"This population is very interested in alternatives to medications. I used to think acupuncture was voodoo and didn't want to have anything to do with it. … Now I study it," says Cmdr. Heather King, a Navy researcher.
Even when the basics — which include maintaining a steady sleep schedule, sleeping in a darkened room, avoiding caffeine or other stimulants late in the day and eliminating screen time at least an hour before bedtime — as well as these other solutions don't work, medication can help.
Nelson says he often prescribes Rozerem, a sedative, to his Marine patients. Rozarem is not addictive and works with the brain's suprachiasmatic nucleus, or master clock, to regulate sleep.
Many physicians prescribe Remeron, an antidepressant commonly given at low doses for sleep, although it can cause weight gain and should be used cautiously, Nelson says.
Other options include muscle relaxants — often prescribed for service members' musculoskeletal strain that can serve a dual purpose, easing pain and causing drowsiness — and low doses of the anti-psychotic medication queitapine, or Seroquel.
Sleep-deprived individuals sometimes turn to alcohol or over-the-counter medications such as Benadryl, which contains diphenhydramine, the same ingredient found in Tylenol PM, Advil PM, Unisom and Sominex, but these should be avoided, experts say.
While these medications can knock a person out cold, they wreak havoc on sleep quality, and patients often wake up feeling worse than they did the day before.
"I get a hangover from Benadryl. Find something else that works," FitzGerald says.
Ambien and Lunesta remain popular options, but many military docs avoid prescribing these medications because of potential side effects, which include such bizarre sleep behaviors as sleep-eating, sleep-driving and sleep sex.
"I used to think Lunesta wasn't as bad as Ambien, but I did have a patient that woke up in Wal-Mart after having driven there," Nelson says.
Finally, one natural solution — favored by travelers to reset their circadian rhythms when moving between time zones — may help, sleep researcher Markwald says.
"I take melatonin, and that's it. I'll take a little tiny bit, a half a gram, three hours before I want to go to bed, and then right before, I take a five milligram pill, and it works for me," she says.
Troops facing troubled nights should consult their physicians about steps they can take to improve their sleep, the researchers says. Without it, patients risk developing symptoms of depression, anxiety, fatigue, PTSD and worse.
"Poor sleep can be a real predictor for suicide, and with suicide prevention at the forefront of our minds, sleep needs to very much be our priority," Nelson says.
