Your doctor may make an evaluation based on your signs and symptoms or may refer you to a sleep specialist in a sleep disorder center.
A sleep specialist can help you decide on your need for further evaluation. Such an evaluation often involves overnight monitoring of your breathing and other body functions during a sleep study called polysomnography.
During polysomnography, you're connected to equipment that monitors your heart, lung and brain activity, breathing patterns, arm and leg movements, and blood oxygen levels while you sleep. You may have a full-night or split-night sleep study.
In a split-night sleep study, you'll be monitored during the first half of the night. If you're diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, staff may wake you and give you continuous positive airway pressure for the second half of the night.
Polysomnography can help your doctor diagnose central sleep apnea. It also can help your doctor rule out other sleep disorders, such as periodic limb movements of sleep or narcolepsy, which can cause excessive daytime sleepiness but require different treatment.
Doctors trained in nervous system diseases (neurologists), heart diseases (cardiologists) and others may be involved in evaluating your condition. Doctors may order imaging of your head or heart.

Thanks Kevin, I hope someday to get a Mule deer worthy of mounting!
Thanks Kevin, I hope someday to get a Mule deer worthy of mounting!
My wife puts up with plenty, so I don't throw a fit over this deal. I have some in the garage, the barn, my office, my folks' place, ...
Bitterroot, in Oregon a good blacktail is easier to get than a good Muley IMO. I need to start looking at other states I believe. I have only hunted mule deer in Oregon 3 times and have been applying for tags for 18 years, I am due next year to try again, you can't get one if you can't go! Blacktail are OTC
This doesn't mean big blacktail are easy to come by. Extremely nocturnal and they bed down in brush that's 10 ft tall. This is why I love hunting them so much!
Not saying big mulies are easy to come by either.

Born on May 17, 1962 in Glasgow, Ferguson grew up in a blue collar family of six in nearby Cumbernauld. He dropped out of high school to play drums for the punk band The Bastards from Hell and, as he later admitted, "mainly to drink." After two years with the band - later renamed Dreamboys - he realized he enjoyed the onstage banter more than the actual musical performance. Incorporating a punk ethos, he tried his hand at stand-up and developed a following as his "Hitler" character, a rabid, raging hater of all things; sort of an über-Scottish Lewis Black, but without the charm. Comedy led to his first dip into TV with a stint writing for the BBC's popular "The Russ Abbot Show" (1986-1990).... Continue Bio >>

Our step down approach to recovery
Our drug and alcohol rehab focuses on 4 levels of treatment for achieving long term sobriety:

Stop Blaming Yourself, Everything and Everyone Else
Don't blame yourself for becoming addicted to drugs or alcohol and finding yourself in need of help from one a Florida alcohol rehab. Giving up and getting help is respectable.
Maybe one of the only respectable things you've done lately. Depression can actually keep you in your addiction.
You have heard the saying there's no point in crying over spilled milk. Depression will only drive you down the destructive road of addiction faster and more violently.
There is nothing you can do about the past.
Stop accusing yourself, and beating yourself up for the mistakes and bad decisions you made. Even if there are people that you have hurt, and there's a good chance there are, you have to forgive yourself to start a new life.
We can teach you how and give you the tools to effectively do this in our drug rehab center. If you are interested in a faith based drug or alcohol program please let the counselor you speak with know.
Maybe you started to smoke marijuana, thinking that it was just a fun activity with friends and now you don't understand how it became an addiction?

|FSA announces CRP and DCP payments
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) state executive director Trudy Kareus announced FSA would issue Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and Direct and Counter-cyclical Program (DCP) payments during the first few weeks of October.
"FSA will issue the payments timely as long as all producer eligibility requirements are met," said Kareus.
CRP and DCP payments could be affected if producers have not submitted the required Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) forms. Affected producers will need to submit the proper AGI forms before payments can be issued. In addition, producers who signed up for CRP emergency haying and grazing and did not pay in advance will notice that their annual rental payment was reduced by the acreage that was hayed or grazed.
"Producers who were affected by county office consolidations will not experience payment delays of this nature," said Kareus. "All county office payments, regardless of consolidations, will be generated at the same time as long as all other eligibility requirements are met," she said.
For more information on CRP and DCP payments, contact the Phillips County FSA office at 854-2812.

Man dies in early morning single-vehicle crash
Published: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 11:39 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 2:06 p.m.
UMATILLA – One person died and four others were injured in a single vehicle crash early Wednesday.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers said a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 driven by Audiranna L. Ramsey, 23, of Belleview, who had four friends with her at the time, was heading south on Southeast 182nd Avenue Road and was negotiating a curve to the left. Ramsey drove off the roadway and onto the west shoulder and overcorrected to the left.
Ramsey lost control and the Dodge crossed the roadway in a southeasterly direction, going onto the east shoulder. The vehicle came back onto the roadway and rotated clockwise in a southwesterly direction. It again left the roadway, going onto the west grassy shoulder, where it overturned several times, ejecting the four passengers and the driver, troopers said.
The Dodge careened into a fence and then hit a utility pole before it stopped in an upright position facing south.
All five of the occupants were taken to Ocala Regional Medical Center, where passenger Alex Ray Oestreich, 24, from Summerfield, died.
The incident occurred at 12:40 a.m. Oestreich was pronounced deceased at 1:37 a.m.
The other passengers were Kaitlin Alexis Prusansky, 17; Michael Allan Watkins, 25; and Nicole Mahan, 17.
According to ORMC officials on Wednesday afternoon, Ramsey had been treated and released. Kaitlin was in stable condition. Watkins and Nicole were in critical condition.
Troopers said Kaitlin is home-schooled and Nicole attends Lake Weir High School. Both are from Weirsdale. Watkins is from Summerfield.
At this point, it is not known if speed was a factor. None of the people in the Dodge were wearing seatbelts, according to reports.
Troopers said the five people are all friends and that Ramsey was driving everyone home when the accident occurred.
Oestreich's death was the eighth traffic fatality this year.

EL PASO, Texas (Jan. 21) – Immediately after the announcement last Monday night of the 2011 Eclipse award winning Horse of the Year, my Android was running hot with texts from female fans, the majority of which simply read, "Havre de Grace!" The third successive filly or mare to receive such an honor, following on from Rachel Alexandra (2009) and Zenyatta (2010), Havre de Grace continued a developing trend that has been great for racing.
My British-born racing friend Denise, one of the first to message me, captured the proud sentiment, in her perfunctory text, "FILLIES RULE." Along with her American-born husband Larry, they own horses under the name of "UKUSA Stables" and have experienced the thrill of being local award winners. In 2010, the New Mexico Breeders' Association voted their Cali Baby the state's Top Older Filly or Mare and the N.M. Horsemans Association named Cali Baby its Horse of the Year. "Cali" as they call her, has outshone the males in their barn, making Denise's delight over Havre de Grace more meaningful than simply a dedicated fan.
Awards mean more to an owner than most since the emotional connection has been backed up by solid investment. Deep pockets are nearly always needed to garner a galloper of national prominence, let alone national honors, and it's usually after a fair number of tries at acquiring "the one". For the late Jess Jackson, Rachel Alexandra (2009) followed in the footsteps of the classy Curlin (2007-08) and for Jerry Moss who won the 2005 Kentucky Derby with Giacomo, ownership reached dizzying heights once the mighty Zenyatta hit the scene, eventually awarded Horse of The Year (2010), the key word being eventually.
The Rachel-Zenyatta debate rages on long after the awards have been handed out. Coastal bias, right horse, wrong year, the "she hasn't beaten anything" line, you name it, I'm sure you've heard it all by now and no doubt know full well which side of the ledger you reside on that one. Just for the record, I am one of those crazies who would have voted for Zenyatta way back in 2008 instead of Curlin whom I was totally behind in 2007 but not sold on for repeat honors.
The 2009 Preakness Stakes win by Rachel Alexandra and the 2009 Breeders' Cup Classic win by Zenyatta was each spectacular and it was hard not to have fallen in love with both fillies. The Preakness Stakes was the vital cog in the wheel that spun the Rachel argument, triumphing against the boys, not quite your everyday occurrence. As enamored as 2009 voters were with Rachel Alexandra, spare a thought for 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird, especially in light of this year's Top Male 3-Year-Old title having gone to 2011 Kentucky Derby winner, Animal Kingdom.
A Kentucky Derby victory, Preakness Stakes second and unplaced Belmont Stakes effort were sufficient to get Animal Kingdom ahead of Shackleford, who not only turned the tables on him at Pimlico but also bested him at Belmont. Mine That Bird had won the Kentucky Derby, was runner-up to subsequent Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra in the Preakness Stakes and after a premature move in the Belmont Stakes, wound up a weakening third to Summer Bird, who sat out Pimlico and bested him in the category.
The image of Mine That Bird took a beating in the fall of 2009 when he had soured, seemingly not the same horse. His losses erased the merit of his Triple Crown achievements and elevated the status of Summer Bird. The form of Shackleford this fall did not nose-dive quite as dramatically but the 'what have you done for me lately argument' did him no favors either. The saving grace this year for Animal Kingdom may well have been being sidelined and thus absent from the Breeders Cup, keeping his shiny image free from tarnish. Let' s not forget that Rachel Alexandra's subtle slip in fall form was nipped in the bud by avoiding the big dance altogether, unlike Zenyatta.
Let's face it; horses are like stocks. Timing is everything, especially knowing when to get in and when to get out. Despite all the gains that have gone beforehand, it is a matter of not holding on too long for the losses to start piling up or else that lucrative stud fee may begin to drop just like a sliding stock, or in the case of Kentucky Derby winning geldings such as Funny Cide and Mine That Bird, reputation.
We will never publicly know how much the failure to land the Horse of the Year title in 2009 fueled the decision by the Moss' to bring Zenyatta back in 2010, but the mare never rested on her laurels. It was a courageous and sporting choice that enabled the public to maintain their love affair with Zenyatta. Clearly a healthy, happy horse is necessary for such an option and in her case she was both. Zenyatta never lost a step. Even when she came up one step short of a repeat success in the Breeders' Cup Classic, her performance was breathtaking. The gamble by her classy connections to risk defeat had paid off.
The 2011 Horse of the Year decision felt far less intense. Aside from the lack of a dominant nominee, Zenyatta was a tough act to follow. Havre de Grace did capture my attention but was unable to hold it for quite as long. Similar to Zenyatta, one of her most memorable races came in defeat. I was glued to the television monitor as Havre de Grace and Blind Luck went nip and tuck the length of the stretch in the Grade2 Delaware Handicap last summer. Ironically, it was Havre de Grace who would go on and Blind Luck who would later wind up on the shelf. A top three finish in the Breeders' Cup Classic would have meant added polish to her plaque, but Havre de Grace was not a controversial choice by any means.
More and more we are seeing U.S. owners try their star fillies against males in open company. This is nothing new in horse racing and in fact quite common in Australia where I grew up. When a filly or mare is in the zone, there is nothing quite like it. Three-time Melbourne Cup winning legend Makybe Diva, the undefeated world champion sprinter Black Caviar and repeat Cox Plate hero Sunline are all glowing examples. Why, the Arc de Triomphe was a clean sweep for the girls this last year so maybe my friend Denise is right after all, fillies really do rule.
The only horse I have been a part owner of was a filly, Asummerforwindy, holding a 10 per cent syndicate share in the chestnut. Asummerforwindy was no world-beater but she always tried her heart out. Syndicate manager Victor the Predictor insisted I keep the nicely engraved black slab desk-sized Owner of the Week Award that we received back in the day. It was a loving gesture that I gladly accepted.
No matter what level of competition, big or small, horse owners cannot wait to deck their walls with win photos and racing paraphernalia. I was no exception, locating strategic spots, always ready to redesign in the event of a further unexpected success. I can only imagine what shrines of dedication owners of a Horse of the Year might assemble.
As exciting as awards may be, let's keep things in perspective. Awards add further accolades to those that have already achieved. The downside is the tendency to dismiss the worth of a horse's achievement since comparisons truly are odious. Yes, opinion drives our industry but most argument is settled on the track and not by committees. Add in seductive ingredients like prestige and celebrity cachet that trump talent and you may find others are good at talking you out of your own perception when it comes to best of the best discussions.
This leads me to the winner of the 11th running of the Grade 1 Championship at Sunland Park, Cold Cash 123, named the 2011 American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) World Champion. His New Mexico victory was a dominant one in every sense and put his claim to the 2011 title over the edge. It was especially rewarding for Sunland Park management who for a decade have been raising the quality of quarter-horse competition to the highest level. Cold Cash 123 is the only World Champion I have had the privilege of announcing and hopefully not my last. The question is, will I know it at the time.

The campaign to re-elect President Obama has picked a 23-year-old evangelical to run faith outreach.
The appointment of Michael Wear, an assistant in the small White House office that works with faith-based social service groups, ends consternation by some religious progressives that the campaign slot had not been filled. Since 2008 some religious progressives, including a handful that worked for the Obama campaign, have felt faith concerns and language and image haven't been high enough priorities for the president's inner circle.
View Photo Gallery: Scenes of religious faith meeting politics in the 2012 campaign.
Wear interned during the 2008 campaign and then joined the White House's office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, where he is the assistant to director Joshua Dubois.
Wear, a married Buffalo native, has focused on outreach to evangelicals, particularly on the issue of adoption. He worships at the nondenominational National Community Church on Capitol Hill.
The Democratic Party has struggled to make major inroads with religious conservatives, though Obama did gain several points over John Kerry among Catholics and evangelicals.

'The Bear' Bids a Fond Farewell Clarence Mitchell III 1939-2012
At age 22, he became the youngest person ever elected to the Maryland House of Delegates. Three years later, he became a state senator. Even then, his passion for justice and for his community was evident in his leadership, his penchant for service and in the legislative choices he championed.
"For too many years we have been content to sit back and bellyache about bad politics and do nothing," Clarence Mitchell III said when he won his first political victory in 1962. "The only way for us to be sure that we get fair representation is to represent ourselves."
Most of the people who know of his work believe that the former senator, affectionately known as "The Bear," did exactly that in addition to serving as a mentor and advocate.
The death of Mitchell, 72, also affectionately known as "C3," on Oct. 11 after a battle with cancer, left the city in mourning. It was on social media that his nephew, Del. Keiffer Mitchell (D-District 44), made the announcement.
"Last night, my uncle, Clarence Mitchell III, passed," he wrote on Twitter. "While I'm saddened, he was relieved of a lot of pain and he is in a much better place."
Many rushed to share their own sense of loss.
"Another soldier gone to glory," wrote Michael Hunt on Facebook.
Shawon Reed posted on Mitchell's Facebook page advice that he had once given her. "Being a public servant is what is owed to be on this earth. Being a public servant is not only defined by being in political office, but by what you do in the community."
The state's political leaders also expressed sorrow at his passing. In a statement mailed to media outlets, Gov. Martin J. O'Malley (D) said Mitchell understood "there is far more that unites us than divides and that as public servants, it is our responsibility to advance the greater good."
"Sen. Mitchell not only helped forge a path for so many lawmakers and public officials who came after him," said Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown in a statement, "but by championing civil rights legislation, helped ensure all Marylanders could enjoy equal rights under the law."
Former U.S. Rep. Kweisi Mfume, acknowledging a mutual respect between himself and the former senator, referred to him as a "political gladiator" whose charisma dominated his opponents and endeared him to his constituents and friends.
"He recognized that you never back down from what you believe in," Mfume said. "When you were in a fight with Clarence, you knew you were going to either survive or get knocked out. No matter the outcome, you always respected him."
Mitchell was a member of a political dynasty that was known in Baltimore as the "Black Kennedys." His ties to politics were forged through his father, Clarence Jr., known as the "101st Senator" because of the extensive time he spent in the nation's capital, lobbying Congress tirelessly on behalf of African Americans and representing the NAACP. C3's mother, Juanita Jackson Mitchell, was the first African-American woman to practice law in Maryland, forging a reputation for battling civil rights cases in the courtroom. His maternal grandmother, Lillie M. Jackson, revitalized the Baltimore branch of the NAACP, which she led for 35 years and organized other branches throughout the state. His uncle, Parren, the first African-American elected to Congress from Maryland, expanded his reach into the boardroom and advocated for the nurture and inclusion of minority business, even after leaving Congress.
He followed the family tradition of service throughout his career.
"Sen. Mitchell was a fearless trailblazer who exhibited strength and courage in the face of adversity and continued his family's rich tradition of civil rights advocacy with distinction," said the Rev. Cortly "CD" Witherspoon, president of the Baltimore chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). "In his absence, we must follow the example of his warrior spirit and recommit ourselves to the noble mission of freedom, justice and equality for people."
Mfume said he will miss the senator's "rugged individuality, his resourcefulness and his distinctive character. He was in the truest sense, an American original."
Services begin with the family hour at 3 p.m., Oct. 21 at Sharp Street United Methodist Church, Dolphin and Etting Streets. Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity service follows at 3:45 with the final memorial service at 4 p.m. A repast will follow at New Shiloh Baptist Church, 2100 N. Monroe St. in Baltimore.

T3 Lenses to H4 Halogen Reflectors Conversion - Let There Be ... Better LightWritten on June 1, 2010 Converting T3 Headlights To H4 Sealed Beams
The victim-ahem-beneficiary of some stealth lighting: My '58 Impala Sport coupe. This car is a daily driver, and in the wet and dark Northwest, good lighting is a must. Immediately after obtaining this car seven years ago, I swapped out the old dim T3 low and high beam lights for the more contemporary H4 halogen headlights.
They put out quite a bit more candle power, but the flat glass lens and modern fluting doesn't look right on this car. So what is a hot rodder to do in pursuit of traditional looks but with a need for bright and safe lights? Solution: Install the T3 lenses on the H4 halogen reflectors.
Though not a direct conversion per se (actual halogen conversion kits do exist), the swap is rather straightforward, and the results speak for themselves by providing a better lit road when you're behind the wheel.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
1 I bought these nice T3 lights at a swap meet. The single filament high beam version is the most common, and they are usually cheaper.2 The fluting is virtually the same on the high and low beam lens, so you can let the restorers enjoy the low beam versions. Or better yet, find burnt out low beams.3 Probably the safest method to remove the lens from the housing is to use a regular metal cutting disc with a bench grinder. You'll want to use a respirator mask, wrap-around eye protection, and gloves for this job. Go slowly, and rotate the light as you go. The disc may be melting glass more than cutting, but it will get the job done-just use extreme caution to avoid any personal injury.7 I used a grinder with a finer grit flap disc to smooth out the surface of the edge (of the housing).8 If you are going to do this, you might as well get the best reflector. The German-made unit to the right is far superior in reflector quality, compared to the cheaper Asian counterpart on the left. The reflector is also deeper with a larger surface area. You do get what you pay for.
10 To obtain the H4 reflectors, I need to remove the glass. I filled the lamp with a shop towel to protect the reflector while I break the lens.11 I broke the lens inside this heavy-duty contractor's garbage bag to prevent any flying glass shards. A firm but shallow tap will do it. Gloves and eye protection are a must!12 Using needle-nose pliers, I pried off the remaining glass; using a heat gun to soften up the adhesive works well here. I removed any remnant of glass and adhesive on the reflector edge with a sturdy knife.15 This will be the only time you can access the lens from the inside, so make sure and clean it thoroughly now.16 If you need to clean the reflector before assembly, use air only, do your best not to touch the reflector-but if you happen to, use an alcohol wipe to carefully remove any fingerprints or smudges.17 Using the comics for a backdrop, I am laying down a bead of high-temp silicone adhesive about half the width of the contact surface. Don't be too liberal, as you don't want any adhesive to be squeezed in to the reflector when you install the lens.
19 Now I can install any caliber H4 halogen bulb that I want. You could even use an aftermarket HID bulb if you like.20 When I install the lights, I like to use contact grease on the connectors to eliminate future corrosion.21 Note: The higher wattage on the H4 bulbs will increase the load on the electrical system. Therefore, I added these relief relays (arrow) from Ron Francis for both the low and high beam circuit, thus eliminating any extra load on the older original wiring and switches.22 The best of both worlds: vintage-looking T3 lights with European performance output.

Amazing Raw Food and Juice Cleanse…UrbanRemedy.comTuesday, October 7th, 2014
I am sitting at my computer dreaming about Urban Remedies Raw Creme Carmel…If you have never hear of this company or had their products, you have to check them out! The Brownie was also mind blowing as was all of their desserts but I'm also so impressed with their juices!
I never order juice from anywhere thinking that making my own at home is always going to taste better. I've had juice from some of the new companies out there and they are ok…good in a pinch. But, these were so amazing! So full of flavor and I felt like they were energetically alive still! I had three different kinds and also an Almond Milk. This was better than what I make. They also have Juice Cleanse kits.
They also have some wellness kits that would make great holiday presents. Check them out at UrbanRemedy.com!

I'm sorry if I missed this somewhere, but I wasn't able to find this information. I'm wondering if it is possible (as it the case with Exchange) to set up Public Folders that everyone can see and also have specific permissions on those folders such that only specific users can delete the emails contained within. In addition for those folders to have their own email address, obviously an alias that's handled on the server side, but it's a nice convenience.
Public Calendars that can be seen company wide? Scheduling meeting and using others' private calendars to see if they are busy and whatnot is nice, but it would be nice to have a single calendar that is not associated at all with the individual's calendar but a place where everyone within a group can schedule things. Going along the same line, Public Contacts...Basically I'm wondering if there is a Group/Public version of the private things. I have my own mailbox but can there be several public mailboxes, calendars, contact lists, etc.

University Home > School for Professional Studies Home > Current Students > Academic Policies > Admission Policies
1. Clear Admission applies when the student has met all admission criteria.
2. Conditional Admission may be granted to a student who has less than the minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA, less than 15 hours of transferable college credit, and/or has not submitted all official transcripts*.
In consultation with their admission counselor/advisor, conditionally admitted students are required** to register for the following as their first four courses:
• PST 100 Learning Resources and Strategies (Required)
• CIS 115 Concepts and Applications of Technology (May be required based on proficiency assessment)
• English Composition Class(es) (May be required based on assessment and/or transfer credit)
• Remaining class(es) may be chosen from an approved list found in the Student Handbook.
In order for the student to gain clear admission, the student must complete these courses with an SPS minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. If the student's SPS cumulative GPA is below 2.0 after their first four courses, the student will be subject to dismissal at the end of the semester.
*Conditional Admission may be granted when a student wants to enroll in classes, but has not yet forwarded all official transcripts. Conditional admission allows an applicant to enroll for one semester only. In order to be considered for enrollment in future terms, the student must ensure that the University receives all requested documentation before the end of the first semester (end of Summer, Fall II and Spring II terms). The student who does not meet these conditions will be blocked from future registration until all transcripts are received and evaluated. Until an official transcript evaluation can be completed, there is no guarantee that courses taken will apply toward a specific degree and students must follow the aforementioned guidelines for Conditional Admission.
**In instances where a Conditionally admitted student does not need one or more of the four prescribed courses, the student's Admissions Counselor or Academic Advisor may substitute an appropriate class with the approval of Program Chair.
3. Deferred Admission applies if, at any point during the admissions process, the School for Professional Studies determines that further information is needed in order to make a decision regarding a student's admission into the program. In this case, SPS will defer an admission decision and forward a letter indicating what action the student must take before a final decision can be made. A deadline for completing these steps will also be provided. Students who have questions about deferred admission policies should contact their admissions counselor.

Zeagle has been in the scuba business for 25 years, specializing in buoyancy compensators, octos/spare air devices, and regulators. Zeagle championed the rise of rear inflation BCDs and integrated weight systems, revolutionizing the way you dive today. See more
Zeagle led the industry towards the concept of integrated weight buoyancy systems. When they began building weight-integrated buoyancy devices 25 years ago the idea was considered radical and was dismissed by all major equipment manufacturers. The success of Zeagle Systems with divers forced the industry to take another look at the benefits of integrated weights, and today integrated weight systems represent the majority of buoyancy systems sold. Zeagle's patented Ripcord release system is still the most reliable and easiest to use release on the market and we have continued to evolve our buoyancy designs to offer custom sizing and options for unmatched flexibility.
The same spirit of innovation that fueled their buoyancy compensators has inspired Zeagle's regulator designs as well as many smaller products. Zeagle spare air pony bottle system and high-quality octos mean you'll never have to dive without a safety net. Zeagle pressure gauges and 3-gauge consoles provide you with up-to-date information like depth, air supply, and even direction and bearing.
Zeagle Systems is dedicated to making innovative equipment for recreational, commercial, public safety, and military divers.See less

Voltage Induced in a Coil by a Moving Magnet
Application ID: 14163
A magnet moving axially through the center of a coil will induce a voltage across the coil terminals. One practical application of this is in shaker flashlights, where the flashlight is vigorously shaken back and forth, causing a magnet to move through a multi-turn coil, which provides charge to the battery. In this model, the motion of a magnet through a coil is modeled, and the induced voltages are computed. The displacement of the magnet is significant, so a moving and sliding mesh is used.

TAKOMA PARK, Md. (WUSA9) -- Takoma Park Police say a suspect was taken into custody after he and another man fled police in a stolen vehicle then crashed it.
According to police, on Wednesday at 2:05 a.m. an officer tried to make a traffic stop in the 7400 block of New Hampshire Avenue. The car took off westbound on Kingwood Avenue and then hit the traffic circle on Kingwood and Wildwood, say police. The impact caused the car to go airborne and it traveled through the front yards of some homes in the 1100 block of Kingwood Avenue, according to police. It then struck vehicles and a tree before spinning, then coming to a rest between to homes.
Two men wearing dark clothing were spotted fleeing from the vehicle, say police. That car was later determined to be stolen.
With the use of a helicopter and K9 units, officers tracked 23-year-old Alex Enrique Galarza into Becca Lilly Park, say police. Galarza was found on a deer path approximately 500 feet into the tree line, according to police, and taken into custody.
Police say Galarza was injured in the crash so he was taken to a hospital for treatment. Once he was cleared for confinement, he was taken to jail. He has been charged with auto theft, theft over $1,000, fleeing and eluding police, possession with the intent to distribute controlled dangerous substance (CDS) marijuana, possession of CDS paraphernalia, malicious destruction of property, possession of a dangerous weapon (brass knuckles) and numerous other traffic violation offenses.
According to police, no one else was injured, but there was "extensive property damage."
Police are still looking for the second suspect.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Florida heads the list of No. 1 seeds in the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
The top-ranked Gators have earned the first overall seed after winning the SEC tournament, running the table on their conference schedule and winning their last 26 games.
Sixth-ranked Virginia is No. 1 in the East, Florida tops the South, second-ranked Wichita State heads the Midwest and No. 4 Arizona leads the West.
Virginia joined Florida, Wichita State and Arizona as a No. 1 seed Sunday when the selection committee announced the pairings for the NCAA tournament.
The Cavaliers, widely considered a 2 or 3 seed in many mock-ups of the bracket, instead vaulted to the top of the East region. They won the ACC regular-season and tournament titles.
March Madness begins Tuesday with a pair of "First Four" games in Dayton, Ohio.
The Gators bring a 26-game winning streak into the tournament. They are seeded first in the South and are the No. 1 seed overall.
Wichita State, the top seed in the Midwest, comes in at 34-0 — the first team to enter the tournament undefeated since UNLV in 1991.
The Final Four starts April 5 in Arlington, Texas.
The Orange (27-5) earned the third seed in the South and will open play just down the road in Buffalo on Thursday against Western Michigan (23-9), the Mid-American Conference champion. But which Syracuse squad will show up — the one that won 25 straight games to start the season and zoomed to No. 1 in the country for three weeks, or the one that has lost five of its last seven games?
Coach Jim Boeheim isn't concerned. He's been here before. Last year's team lost four of its final regular-season games and made it to the Final Four.
At least the team is healthy again. Forward Jerami Grant has reverted to form after injuring his back and shooting guard Trevor Cooney is expected to be at full throttle after tweaking an ankle in the ACC tournament.
The long wait to return to the NCAA men's basketball tournament is over for Mercer and some other schools.
The last time Mercer (26-8) played in the tournament was 1985, the year of Villanova's surprise championship. Coastal Carolina (21-12) is back for the first time since 1993. The Chanticleers are led by Cliff Ellis, who previously coached tournament teams at Auburn, Clemson and South Alabama.
Nebraska (19-11) never expected to be back this season after being picked last in the Big Ten. Massachusetts (24-8) made the tournament seven consecutive years from 1992-98 and didn't return until now. Delaware (25-9) is back for the first time since 1999.

The Importance of Displaying Children's Art in the Home
I was visiting a new friend's home for the first time recently and my favorite personal touch was that she had framed and hung a series of her son's superhero drawings. Not only did they look great, I'm sure it made her son feel great seeing them gracing the family's walls. I resolved to do something similar at home as a way to honor my son and show him that he is as important as anyone else who lives here, even if I don't let him pick out the new curtains.
Displaying your child's work shows them their creative efforts are valued, it builds their confidence and, quite simply, can be an expression of your love for them. Here are 25 examples of children's art proudly displayed throughout the home from as simple as taping up a gallery of paintings to more permanent, framed layouts.

It's important that your child have a thorough evaluation before he or she starts taking an antidepressant. A psychiatric evaluation by a psychiatrist, or a pediatrician or family doctor who is experienced in pediatric psychiatric issues, should include:
The FDA approved two antidepressants for the treatment of depression in children and teenagers — fluoxetine (Prozac) for age 8 or older, and escitalopram (Lexapro) for age 12 or older. Fluoxetine is also FDA approved to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in children, as are the antidepressants sertraline (Zoloft), fluvoxamine (Luvox) and clomipramine (Anafranil).
Doctors may use their medical judgment to prescribe other antidepressants for children, such as citalopram (Celexa), for what's called off-label use. This is a clinically common practice for many types of medications for both children and adults.
Antidepressants come with a medication guide that advises parents and caregivers about risks and precautions. Be sure to carefully read the medication guide and package insert, and discuss any questions with your child's health care professionals.
The FDA advises that doctors prescribe the smallest quantity of pills possible to help reduce the risk of deliberate or accidental overdose. Careful monitoring by parents, caregivers and health care professionals is important for any child or teenager taking an antidepressant for depression or any other condition.
The highest risk of suicidal thinking and behavior occurs:
Parents and caregivers should closely observe the child on a daily basis during these transition periods and watch for worrisome changes for the whole time the child takes antidepressants.
The FDA also recommends that your child receive close monitoring by his or her health care professional during the first few months of treatment. Frequency of contact with doctors or mental health professionals depends on your child's needs. Make sure you stick to your child's recommended appointment schedule.
Sometimes the signs and symptoms of suicidal thoughts or self-harm are difficult to see, and your child may not directly tell you about such thoughts. Here are some signs that your child's condition may be worsening or that he or she may be at risk of self-harm:
Contact your child's health care professional right away if any of these signs occur, if they get worse, or if they worry you, your child, a teacher or other caregiver.
Don't stop antidepressant treatment without the guidance of your child's health care professional. Suddenly stopping an antidepressant may cause flu-like symptoms or side effects referred to as discontinuation syndrome.
Most children who take antidepressants will improve with medication. However, combining medication with talk therapy (psychotherapy) is likely to be even more effective. Many types of therapy may be helpful, but cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal therapy have proved effective in the treatment of depression.
For some children and teenagers with mild symptoms, talk therapy alone may be beneficial.

Maria Bello
Actress Maria Bello (A History Of Violence, Coyote Ugly, The Jane Austen Book) revealed in an op-ed piece for The New York Times that though she has a child with producer Dan McDermott, she is currently in a relationship with a woman named Clare Munn. "I had become involved with a woman who was my best friend, and, as it happens, a person who is like a godmother to my son," she writes, adding that she thinks of her sexuality as a "whatever."
"Whomever I love, however I love them, whether they sleep in my bed or not, or whether I do homework with them or share a child with them, 'love is love.'"

MOUNDSVILLE - An 18-year-old John Marshall High School student is facing a charge of DUI causing death after an incident early Saturday morning in rural Marshall County.
According to Marshall County Sheriff Kevin Cecil, deputies responded to an accident just after 2 a.m. Saturday on McCrearys Ridge Road. Cecil said the driver, Logan Christman, 18, of Benwood, was driving and lost control navigating a turn, striking the hillside and rolling the vehicle. The passenger, Kenneth King, 19, of Wheeling, was ejected from the truck.
"The vehicle rolled on top of him, and he did not survive that accident," Cecil said, adding King was pronounced dead at the scene.
Christman, a student at John Marshall, was taken to Wheeling Hospital to be treated for injuries. Cecil said Christman briefly spoke with deputies at the scene, and a blood sample was taken later at the hospital. Cecil said that sample was sent to the West Virginia State Police for analysis.
Cecil said the DUI with death charge was issued as a citation, and Christman has not yet been arraigned. He said Marshall County Prosecutor Jeff Cramer was expected to review the case today and decide how to proceed.
"He will determine if there will be any further charges and what we do next," Cecil said.
In the meantime, Cecil said deputies are still unsure how the teens got alcohol, and an investigation will continue to find a source.
"Where this happened is pretty rural, " he said. "There are any number of places they could have gotten it, but we are still not sure."

Very bland and pedestrian. Reminded me of a bad 80's retirement party. I won't be making this again.
Took 5 minutes to put together. Instead of Miracle Wip I used the mayo made with olive oil. It was delish. All of my guests loved it! Served with wheat thins. Will defintely make again for something quick.

NEC endorses ODIN
During the 2012 InterOp conference in Las Vegas, IBM introduced a set of technical briefs describing the path towards creating an Open Datacenter with an Interoperable Network (ODIN). The approach of using open industry standards in the data center network was recently endorsed by NEC Corporation on their corporate blog. In particular, NEC mentions IBM's work with the Open Network Foundation (ONF) and their efforts to create software-defined networking standards (including both OpenFlow and network overlays) for next generation data center networks. I'm very pleased by NEC's support for software-defined networking and other open standards in the data center network, stay tuned to this blog or my Twitter feed to hear more about this and related topics.

Party hats are a traditional birthday party favorite. Children love them because they get something fun to wear. Party hats come in basic cone styles as well as fancier ones and even headbands. Whether you just want to match the colors of your tableware and balloons or if you have a party theme to coordinate, there's party hats that are perfect.
The classic party hat is a cardboard cone that's held on by an elastic strap. These hats are available in multi-packs of colors, stripes, or patterns. They're great if your party doesn't have a particular theme. But if you do have a theme for your party, there are dozens of party hats to choose from.
You can get cone hats with designs or pictures of favorite characters, sports, animals, and hobbies. Coordinate the hats with the rest of the party decorations and supplies. Everything's covered, from Thomas the Train to Disney characters to generic animals or sports. These hats are colorful, fun, and inexpensive.
You're not limited to cone hats. There are cowboy and cowgirl hats, top hats, fireman and spaceman helmets, race car driver and construction helmets, even Smurf hats and safari hats. There are headbands too, including pretty tiaras and whimsical boppers with springy antenna. You can even get headbands with plush puppy or cow ears.
