Appended below are testimonials from individuals that have attended our CBT-I seminar. Some of the quotes are from the course evaluations. Some of the quotes are responses to an email request for testimonials.
"The Principals and Practice of CBT-I Course was a great value for the money, I thought, especially with all the gift basket materials...I found the material in the course to be interesting and challenging. So much information was packed in the three days that I think I saw smoke coming out of my brain!...[Dr. Perlis (Michael)'s] personality, style, and humor made learning enjoyable, never dry. I think this is an asset given the clinical nature and difficulty of the material....Dr. [Don] Posner was wonderful in delivering great points, important clarifications, and straight, no-nonsense information. The two of them are a great team!"
Terry, MS, LPC-IT (2014 CBTI Course)
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to take this opportunity to comment on the CBT-I seminars provided by Dr. Perlis and his colleagues. I am the medical director of the Sleep Disorders Center and division chief of sleep medicine at the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, Tennessee. In fifteen years of practice I have been to numerous conferences, many failing to meet my expectations. The CBT-I courses (beginner and advanced) provided by Dr. Perlis are outstanding. Through these seminars I have been able to gain new insights and skills that have vastly improved my ability to care for patients with chronic insomnia. The courses can be extremely useful for all levels of clinical experience. The advanced course was of great value because of the numerous cases presented and discussed. There is ample opportunity for questions and dialogue with Dr. Perlis, his colleagues and those in attendance. In addition, a multitude of resources are provided including access to seminal papers, numerous types of questionnaires, and other useful material.
Dr. K Martinolich
"What an absolute privilege it was to sit in your seminar. I hate workshops and congresses but know I have to attend. With your input I actually was captured by the material and the your presentation. I looked forward to the second day and enjoyed that to. Thank you I haven't enjoyed a workshop in a long time. Thank you for your goodie bag and for your offer to continually support us via newsletters etc."
South Africa CBT-I Seminar 2012 (Two day Seminar)
"...We really appreciated the two day workshop with your energy, intellect and wisdom…"
South Africa CBT-I Seminar 2012 (Two day Seminar)
When I heard that the course was three days long, I thought – "what can be said about Insomnia that takes 3 days?!"… When I realized the course was 1 lecturer, I thought "if this guy is bad, this could be a 3 day long nightmare?!". Despite these reservations, I signed up for the course. Having taken the course, I now know what I didn't know… in fact the course could have easily be a 5 day offering. As for the speaker, he is energetic, intense, and engaging… my interest never waivered. This said, his orientation is "evidence based practice" (both re: Principles / foundational knowledge and re: his approach to practice). Those that gravitate towards more general psychotherapy may not like the course.

As a relative newcomer to the field, I found this an exceptional opportunity. One comprehensive course covered the theory, research and clinical aspects of CBT-I along with sessions on medical sleep disorders, enabling me to synthesize introductory material I had been exposed to in conferences and clinical training.
Because the fundamentals are explained as well as the nuances of the conceptual models, the course is highly valuable for practitioners new to the field as well as those with some background.
While Dr. Perlis is a leading CBT-I expert, he was able to translate his advanced knowledge of the topic in terms understandable to a beginning CBT-I practitioner. Dr. Perlis' outstanding sessions included excellent lectures with incredibly valuable content taught in a highly engaging and interactive manner. Moreover, Dr. Perlis put great effort in securing superb visuals that enhanced the learning. Dr. Perlis, who is an author of one of one of the principle CBTI books and instrumental in the field, was very approachable and accessible. Therefore, the experience served as a welcoming introduction into the BSM community.
Furthermore, Dr. Perlis took great care to insure that the facilities and refreshments were excellent and to suggest nearby restaurants and tourist attractions. All this made for a very educational, stimulating and enjoyable three days.
The knowledge I gained in three days far exceeded my expectations. I have already incorporated the material learned in work with my patients. To health professionals seeking to expand your CBT-I capability, take this course!
R.W. PhD, Clinical Psychologist, New York, NY
"As sleep professionals who already had theoretical and practical experience with researching and treating various sleep disorders, we were not sure what to expect from the course, and whether it would meet our clinical needs. To say the least, we were happily surprised. The course, although tailored to the more novice sleep clinician, was detailed enough to provide us with multiple novel and creative techniques when dealing with more complicated (e.g. medical or psychiatric co-morbidities), resistant, and/or unmotivated patients. We truly believe that the course made us better CBT-I clinicians, allowing us to hone our skills while strengthening the confidence in our abilities."

After learning about this course in the APA Monitor, I was very interested in pursuing CBT-I, but unable to make time for the course for a couple of years. It was well worth the wait. Dr. Perlis is engaging and thorough in presenting the science behind CBT-I, as well as the process of the protocol itself. He makes good use of audio-visuals to illustrate scientific data and clinical sketches of this intervention. With participants from a variety of healthcare professions, the clinical work really comes alive with audience participation in discussions and role plays. I highly recommend it.
S.M., Clinical Psychologist, Philadelphia, PA
I would recommend the CBT-I seminar presented by Michael Perlis, Ph.D., to anyone interested in learning Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. Dr. Perlis brings the material to life with his lively, engaging humor and multi-media presentations that include videos of live sessions and session by session outlines of CBT-I. A generous soul - Dr. Perlis gives each participant a "Gift Basket" filled with ready to use forms, sample brochures, resource listings and research articles.
M.K., Psy.D., Psychologist, Boynton Beach, USA
At last a treatment for insomnia that doesn't require medication. As a neurologist involved in sleep disorders, this course is a must. It is entertaining and cutting edge informative. I recommend it highly to all Neurologists and Psychiatrists.
V.F., M.D., Neurologist, Arcadia, CA
Dr. Perlis had a fabulous sense of humor and he was warm and engaging. He outlined a very precise treatment protocol that is evidence based and easy to replicate.
S.M., M.S.N., Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Philadelphia, PA
From my perspective as a psychologist, I found the review of the components of CBT-I most helpful; common clinical concerns as well as specific procedures were discussed in detail. From my perspective as a clinician working in a sleep disorders center, I found the review of the etiology and pathophysiology of insomnia comprehensive and informative. An overview of other sleep disorders for differential diagnosis provided a complete clinical picture. I highly recommend this course to all clinicians working with patients who have insomnia.
L.M.C., Psychologist, Milwaukee, WI
I recommend this conference to all psychologistsand therapists in practice. If you don't know how to help your clients with chronic insomnia, you are doing them a disservice in your treatment of their depression and anxiety. I am so grateful to have these skills in my CBT toolbox. Dr. Perlis and Dr. Posnerare incredibly approachable and informative both during and after the conference! Theconference was excellent and well worth the cost!

Perlis is passionately dedicated to the process of teaching others CBT-I. During his "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia 2009" course, his wit entertained me while his vast knowledge of sleep medicine and CBT-I was impressive. Perlis graciously extended his presentation hours due to participants requesting additional time for training. His course was a great follow-up to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine course (Evaluation and Management of Insomnia 2009) or to your own reading/work with insomnia/treatment. Perlis focused his course on important topics related to insomnia including: definition/comorbidity, theory/insomnia models, research findings, pharmacology, contraindications, assessment tools/questionnaires, video clips/case presentations, and the implementation of CBT-I treatment sessions. This is a great training for expanding your understanding of CBT-I and adding tricks to your grab bag.
(2009 Course - Philadelphia)
I attended the CBT-i 2009 workshop conducted by Dr. Perlis and Dr. Posner and found this to be a very valuable experience. The level and amount of information disseminated was excellent, andallowed for immediate clinical applications. The presentation held my interest for the entire three days. There were ample opportunities for questions and discussion.I would highly recommend this workshop for anyone interested in working in the behavioralsleep medicine field.

I thoroughly enjoyed your course. It helped to integrate my previous readings on the topic and some clinical experience with insomnia patients bringing me on the much higher level of expertise. Although I did not become a "sleep psychologist", I gained confidence and knowledge to address my patients problems with insomnia in my private practice. The strategies and steps I learned from you allow me to provide relief for my patients gaining their trust and enhancing their sense of mastery. I often remember and use your line about insomnia giving a gift of more time.
It is also great that you put effort in creating community of us - fellow-attendees.

The course was a great overview of insomnia and the application of CBTi. [What] was most impressive was Dr Perlis' ability to integrate humor, research and clinical practice in his discussion of the major points relating to CBTI. Michael was so committed to his students. He worked tirelessly to prepare effective materials for the class, covered a ton of material in a few days, was generous in sharing his wisdom and clinical tools and was truly dedicated to ensuing a good experience for the attendees. Well done! Thank you!

I attended the BSM training with Drs. Perlis and Posner and felt the material was well organizedbalance of empirical findings and clinical pearls.The presentation style of each allowed forquestions, comments and discussion of thissignificant area inthe practice of Sleep Medicine. The contactsfor registration, proceedings announcements and my class completion certificate were very professional. Ihave found the handout booklet to be a very valuable resource. In all the experienceofsigning up, taking the class and applying the lessons learned was excellent. I highly recommendthe class as a preparation for the BSM exam and as a review for those with the certification and workexperience.

I attended the seminar as a graduate student in psychology with a developing interest in sleep disorders and Behavioral Sleep Medicine. The course provided an excellent overview of the research in addition to skills training specifically in CBT for insomnia. I also appreciated the broad introduction to the field and found the review of diagnostic and assessment considerations most helpful! I would highly recommend this course to other trainees!

Excellent course that demonstrated the power of CBT-I to help with insomnia. Dr. Perlis' knowledge of the subject is remarkable, his presentation style is engaging, and you are sure to leave the course with useful knowledge and skills to enhance your clinical practice. Highly recommended.
G.G., PhD, ABPP, Clinical Psychologist, Media, PA
This course is quite possibly the best investment one can make into getting specialized training in CBT-I! The course is packed with information, yet logically laid out and very well paced. The instructor is arguably the Nation's expert on the topic, and also has the (somewhat rare) ability to translate the research into an easily digestible, and often entertaining, presentation. Great for beginners with little background/training on CBT-I or for those wanting a refresher or to consolidate their knowledge. I highly recommend it!

I found the course very helpful after having already read the book and tried applying the techniques at the insistence of a doctor certified in sleep medicine in the city. Treatment has been extraordinarily effective with a number of clients with insomnia no longer a problem, with some getting off all "sleep medicine," and some reducing the amounts of soporifics taken. Almost all patients reach Sleep Efficiency in the 90%+ range. I had one "star" patient who had been to numerous doctors to solve her problems including Mayo's, who was told at Mayo to find someone who did CBT-I. She functioned fine after five visits with high sleep efficiency, fast sleep onset, occasional short awakenings after sleep onset, and no sleep meds., of course, all verified by sleep logs she faithfully kept.

Dr. Perlis' ability to explain complex concepts in understandable ways (with his candid, personal, and creative style) was extraordinary.

The speaker was very knowledgeable and motivating with a relaxed and amusing presentation style. I learned a lot and look forward to further training.

I have never been to a conference where the participants interrupted and called out the speakers name [with questions and challenges] during the seminar... but I also usually stay below the Mason-Dixon line ! LOL.

I am a psychologist with a lot of background in CBT and a reasonable amount of experience working with sleep problems. I found the 3 day course on CBTI to be packed with useful information, and practical learning that is enabling me to provide empirically sound effective treatment in my practice. I highly recommend this training for anyone who wants to workwith behavioral medicine / sleep concerns even if it is not the major focus of your work.

The seminar has been very beneficial in my practice. I have started sleep restriction therapy at our clinic which is comprised of 4 board certified sleep MDs, 12 bed sleep lab, along with a total of 9 pulmonologists and have so far seen a success with it.CBT-I therapy is much needed in my area, the seminar by Dr. Perlis is an absolute necessity if you plan to conduct CBT-I or any type of sleep restriction. All sleep labs should offer therapy for insomnia besides medication. Thanks for adding to my practice!

I think one of the biggest strengths has been the wealth of information that was shared at the conference and beyond. Also, the "gift basket" allows one to listen and not have to frantically write down information. I also liked the interactive format between [Dr. Perlis] and the participants and I thought that [he and] Donn (Posner) complemented each other quite well and allowed different perspectives. I liked [his] willingness to stay as late as needed and, even though the days were long, I found it so engaging that I rarely found the need to look at my watch to see when the day would be ending. One of the best seminars I have been to and would highly recommend it.

As the founder of Clinical Sleep Counseling, my interest in attending the CBT-I course involved deciding if I could recommend this specialized training to non-medical, largely master's level mental health practitioners. In brief, the answer is YES. Sleep research, overview of sleep disorders/meds, insomnia theory and CBT-I practice methods were artfully balanced with attentiveness to the questions/comments of participants in an energetic style generously lubricated by humor. The material was robust and fascinating without being overwhelming or intimidating for a non-medical participant. I strongly suggest that psychotherapists read Cognitive Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia by Dr. Perlis before attending this highly recommended course.

CBT-I was an excellent course. I would recommend it to any therapist interested in becoming more skilled in the behavioral treatment of insomnia. The incorporation of relevant research and medical information with behavioral clinical specifics was clearly a primary strength. In addition, participants learn enough about treatment procedures and practical problems to at least start CBT-I in their communities. The interaction of students from various professional backgrounds further enhanced the learning process.

I found the course extremely enlightening and very well orchestrated. Michael brings with him a wealth of theoretical and clinical material delivered with confidence and humor. I experienced no drowsy moments during the encounter.
Clinical Psychologist,

Although I was familiar withbroad concept of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia, and used its various components in instructing my patients, the intensive three-day seminaropened my eyes to many aspects I was not aware of. The workshop was very well built, bringing the participant from milestone to milestone in a didactic and streamlined manner. The content was very appropriate, starting with the theoretical background through practical approach, all the way to structured CBT sessions. The whole workshop was richly spiced with practice pearls, both on slides and orally,which greatly livened the seminar. The whole experience was very interactive and enjoyable, even joyful, not the leastdue to the skills and the personality of the speaker. I liked the experience very much, it enriched my skills and knowledge, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. Oh, and the Gift Basket - don't give up on that, and don't wait for the holidays!!
MD, Neurology and Sleep Medicine

The CBT-I course was one of the best courses I've been to. The content was of great value in my practice and continues to be a handy reference for my patients. It was jam packed full of take home clinical pearls to use every day. The slides were to the point and full of information to use in your practice and the videos were just what you needed to put it all together. If you didn't leave there ready to do CBT-I at your office then you must have been sleeping or skipped the whole course. Michael Perlis is funny and very knowledgeable makes things interesting and is very matter of fact. Last but not least was the gift basket that was over the top. Thanks again for putting together the CBT-I course.

September 2008
Have you ever had one of those moments where you felt like you were looking from the outside in on an experience you were having at that very moment? Like one of those times you can almost hear the soundtrack to your own movie being played in your head because the experience was so surreal? Or maybe you can just see the pages of your autobiography unfolding before you even though the book is decades away from being a complete story. Some may never experience this, some may never know or understand the passion that aviators thrive upon simply because we cannot get enough of wings, sky and the freedom and wonder of flight. Recently I experienced just that, and I can't wait to experience it again.
I must start by stating the fact that although I have a long way to go in making any type of living at flying I am working hard to get there and loving every single minute of it. I must also say that every step that I take seems to be even more unbelievable than the last…a dream come true. So of course when Sean D. Tucker asked me if I'd be interested in training to be a ferry pilot in the Extra and that he wanted my first flight to be from Portland, Maine home to King City, California with Ben Freelove as my mentor you can only imagine my excitement. Now, I've done some cross countries, but the furthest I've flown in a small airplane was from Texas to California with Ben last year, and other than that all my long trips have been in King Airs or Citations. Flying from coast to coast in an Extra 300 was going to be a totally different experience. It would be one for the books.
So Ben and I piled onto a JetBlue A320 early Sunday morning and started the trip east. Monday morning started with phone calls to customs to update them on the Teams arrival (as they were flying in from Halifax, Nova Scotia) and heading to the FBO to wait for them. Eric Tucker was flying the Oracle Challenger, Brian Norris was flying the Extra 300 and Clyde Greene and Collin Davis were in the Seneca. Upon everyone's arrival Clyde and Collin headed to the terminal to airline home, Brian hopped in the Seneca and Ben and I loaded up the Extra. Eric was already on his way while we were loading the turtle deck with the few things we brought with us. Of course this whole time my nerves were getting the best of me, not because I was concerned that I didn't know what I was doing but because this was just different. This was new. This was exciting.
Once everyone was packed and gassed we were off. Brian was staying fairly close, within an hour or so of us as he had all the parts in case we needed any maintenance assistance along the way. We were all hoping to reach Piqua, Ohio, home of Hartzell Propellers, by sunset. I have to be honest when I say that although I was taking everything in visually I can't really tell you a lot of what I saw within the first hour or two of flight…I think it was sensory overload. I spent most of the time figuring out exactly how to work everything, monitoring temperature and pressure gauges and constantly checking on our fuel supply.
Slowly, though, things started to become a little more second-nature for me in the plane and by the time we reached Piqua that evening I was feeling more comfortable. Of course I would have been more comfortable if I had thought about loosening the seatbelts a bit and breathing…but hey, live and learn. So after fueling the plane and getting her pushed into her hangar for the night we headed for the hotel. Brian was already tucked into his room and had briefed Daniel Jones, another of our crew members, about the next day. We grabbed some food and a beer or two at Z's, a local sports bar, and then called it a night.
We all woke up bright and early the next morning as Brian wanted to be off the ground at sunrise. Of course we were all a little skeptical after the thunderstorm that had barreled through that night. Lo and behold it was still grey and drizzly when I peeked through the curtains the next morning. After Daniel took on the duty of "team weather briefer" I called Ben and we decided to both go back to sleep while I'm sure Brian was up working diligently, waiting for the ceilings to lift. And lift they did!
We blasted off for what was to be the longest of the days as far as flying was concerned. Ben grew up in Ohio so we made a slight detour to fly over some of his old stomping grounds…although those darn clouds made it impossible at times so soon we were back on our way. Brian was hoping that he and Daniel, who was now Brian's chauffer in the Seneca, would make Ogden, Utah by that night. Ben and I were hoping for the same thing.
So fly we did. And get gas we did. The Extra likes its gas and gets thirsty every 2 hours or so. I think I was most excited to stop at KAAA. Where is KAAA (Logan County Airport) you might ask? It's tucked into the sleepy little town of Lincoln, IL. And WHY was I excited about stopping here you might be wondering?? Well, if you've ever used a GPS in a plane you might figure it out. What is the very first airport that pops up as you start to input an identifier that starts with K (which most do)?? KAAA!!! I know I know, it's just because it's alphabetical but I've seen this identifier for years so the opportunity to stop and get gas there was just one more thing I couldn't pass up.
Logan County Airport was quiet, as many of our gas stops were. But this airport looked like there were a lot of stories to be heard if one had the time to spend there. It is a small airport set among corn fields with an outdoor aviation museum on part of the ramp. Quonset hut hangars housed old yellow dusters and other planes. And apparently they had some of the cheapest gas in the area. How can one tell, by the duct tape of course! Before we left we decided to pop into the pilot's lounge to use the restroom. This was like stepping back in time a few decades. Although it was very clean it looked as though no one had been inside for years.
Experiencing little airports, even for short periods, is becoming one of my favorite parts of cross country ferry flights.
Just as we were climbing in the cockpit and ratcheting our belts a gentleman pulled up and walked over. He said he knew the plane and raced over to see if we needed any help. He was very nice and gave us his card, offering to help out anytime we came through again, even to take us to lunch. Apparently he lives under the traffic pattern and said anytime he sees someone new fly in he has become the unofficial airport greeter. After our goodbyes we were off again.
Back in the air with three full tanks (wings and acro tank) of gas Ben was back manning the his Ipod and I soon decided upon Schenck Field Airport in Clarinda, IA (KICL) as our next fuel stop. Again, another airport in the middle of corn fields and we were in and out pretty quickly. Next fuel stop, North Platte Regional or Lee Bird Field in North Platte, NE. Again, fairly quick in and out and then it was time to switch over to XM radio for a while.
Ben and I had an on-going discussion about how rare it is to see traffic while flying long cross country flights. Of course this was other than the UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) that flew just next to us in the opposite direction the day before while over New York. A minute or so later Ben pointed out traffic way ahead of us at about our one o'clock. We were just trying to figure out if it was coming towards us or going away from us when Brian and Daniel piped up on the discreet radio frequency we use. After a quick discussion of current locations Ben said "I think we see you. We're at about your seven o'clock."
Of course I couldn't pass up the opportunity for a Top Gun reference as I asked, "Any of you boys seen an aircraft carrier around here?"
"So much for the 'Big Sky' theory," Brian said.
And with that Ben offered the idea to go pay them a visit. So I pushed the throttle forward and as we got a little closer I stepped on the right rudder and slid in on the 45 and pulled the power back as we closed on them. Soon we were off their left wing. After scaring Daniel with the information that it was me flying and not Ben we were off. They were on their last leg to Ogdon and we had at least one more fuel stop so we wanted to keep moving.
An hour or so later we landed at Laramie Airport in Laramie, WY (KLAR). Time to head into Cowboy Aviation for a fill up. This was a great little FBO which I was happy to see after discovering that landing even in pretty gusty conditions isn't too bad in the Extra (especially when you're landing on a HUGE runway). Even so, I was nervous at what the AWOS (automated weather that we listen to over the radio) reported for winds so I was quite happy to be down with a landing that wasn't too ugly. By this point Ben and I were getting pretty cold. The Extra is anything but air-tight and even being inside the FBO, which wasn't that warm I might add, we weren't close to warm before we climbed back in to our moving office. Ben figured out a great way to keep the cold air out a little more in the front (which is the coldest seat in the plane and where he was). He would fold up the wing walk (the same squishy stuff you can line cupboards and drawers with) and hold it in place as I closed the canopy on it. Perfect!
I was slightly nervous about this next leg. Not only was it cold, but the mountains were fast approaching and although we had plenty of time before sunset, the sun was going down and of course there was some weather ahead. Now, it's not that mountains are bad, but ferrying aerobatic airplanes is often some of the most dangerous flying you can do, and this was only my second long cross country in an Extra and my first over serious mountains. It is wonderful that we have a Garmin420 GPS as well as a Garmin496 on board. This means that we have 2 moving maps, along with terrain and current weather (all of which I learned to use and love along the way). We had to dodge some rain showers on the way in and went slightly north and then back into Ogden which is very close to busy Class B airspace as well as Hill Air Force Base. Tower was wonderful there; very friend and helpful. We followed the freeway all the way in for a straight in and then taxied to Kemp Air…quiet possibly the nicest FBO I've ever seen. As we got out F-16's screamed across the darkening night sky, heading back to Hill. Even after 8.3 hours in an airplane and our 6th airport of the day and I was still looking up and smiling. I can't get enough of this.
Once we had the airplane put away we called Daniel to come pick us up. While we waited Ben and I made phone calls to give your overnight location to some people who had been following us across the country online (as Bill Stein was nice enough to let us borrow his Spot which is a personal locator). By taking it with us it sent out periodic signals which then posted to his website so that anyone who knew about it could follow our track. We also had the ability to hit a button that sent a text message out to designated cell phones saying that we're okay. It also allows you to hit a single button if you need help…a very cool piece of equipment. But, I digress.
Ben's girlfriend had been watching as we flew along. She already knew we were in Ogden and had taken it upon herself to search for a good restaurant to go to. She rocks. Conveniently the restaurant she recommended was right at the airport, Rickenbacker's Bistro and Restaurant, so Ben, Daniel and I headed inside for dinner. This place was great! Full bar, good beer and wine and outstanding food. We were also lucky enough to be seated in the warmest spot in the whole place which helped Ben and me to defrost. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who finds themselves in Ogden.
I'm pretty sure we all slept well that night. Ben and I had spent 8.3 flight hours in the airplane that day. It was the first time in quite a while that I fell asleep in a hotel without much effort and even had the air conditioner off.
The next morning was much more relaxed than the day before. It was our last day and it was going to be much shorter since we had pushed so far the day before. We got all packed up and taxied out for take-off. This portion of the flight took a little more work as we had to make sure to stay out of the Class B airspace and then followed I80 between the two Restricted Areas as we cruised over the salt flats on our way to Battle Mountain (KBAM). Again, thank goodness for the 420 and 496!!
Although there wasn't anything super exciting about the Battle Mountain stop there is one thing that made my day. My landing! Now, mind you, I'm still figuring out how to land this plane which requires a lot less work than the Pitts which means I'm always over-flying it on landing. But, Ben is a great landing coach so it's been good. But at KBAM Ben was silent on landing. And..lo and behold a beautiful (yet a still a bit fast) wheel landing. Woohoo! Here we filled up and then stretched our legs as we talked to a fellow pilot there with a huge Ag Tractor stationed there for the fire season. What a cool (and HUGE) plane!!
So we needed one more fuel stop before King City. We decided that we would try for Auburn, CA (KAUN) as that is where John and I both learned to fly and where we both work part time as flight instructors now. So that's where we headed. As we flew high over Reno, NV we looked down at Stead Airport, home of the Reno Air Races, and could actually see time trials going on; it looked like the Unlimiteds. Soon we were over Truckee, and man was this portion of the flight stunning. We followed I80 along, as there are not always a lot of good outs over the Sierras if your engine decides to cough, and enjoyed the scenery as we went. It felt like time was flying, probably because I've made this drive so many times and the Extra is moving at warp-speed in relation to a car!
Again I was a little nervous about this, partially because it was home but also because it would be the shortest and narrowest (although not terrible by standards for either – 3700' x 75') runway I'd attempted thus far. And, because I was still landing with my hair on fire it was going to take flying much slower in the pattern to stick it. It wasn't the most beautiful landing but it worked. Of course Ben did point out that the runway's hill didn't help much either as I had it and then the runway went down…and away from me…but hey…I'll take what I got. My Mom were waiting there, camera in hand. We said hello, gassed up, hung out and then it was off to King City.
This time we were flying low enough to not have to bundle up which was nice. Upon arrival into King City Ken Erickson greeted us at the fuel island and it was great to be home. Seamus (Sean O'Leary) was there waiting, too and as always, King City felt like home (like it does every time I arrive there). We put the airplane away and tied up some loose ends. Ben and Seamus invited me to grab lunch but I was waiting for John and our friend, Gary, to arrive in Gary's DA40 to take me home. About 30 minutes later I was sitting in the right seat of the Diamond already saying goodbye to the Tutima Academy. I was sad that my longest cross country to date was over and that I had gotten all the Extra 300 time I was going to get for awhile. Although it was a long trip I would have loved for it to go on a few more days…call me crazy, but I loved every single second of it. There is nothing better than flying an airplane and seeing America from the sky. There are novels written about this; stories of people flying across the country in a Piper Cub. Well, the Extra is no Cub, but it is still a very unique airplane that I love and am thrilled to have time in. I saw a chapter in my life's story develop before my eyes this trip, a trip I will never forget.

For Sandy victims, promises aren't enough
(Page 3 of 3)
As all of the above makes clear, the wide array of assistance programs that residents have to apply for can be mind-numbingly confusing, and many still need help with what they describe as a daunting process. Seven and a half years after Hurricane Katrina, we continue to hear stories about New Orleans residents who are still navigating a byzantine system of policies and bureaucratic red tape in order to rebuild their homes. That cannot be allowed to continue to happen here, or many residents will simply give up — and never return.

Trek's Gary Fisher brand made a splash several years back when it developed the DRCV rear shock with Fox. The shock used a twin-stage design that offered supple small bump performance when only the first stage chamber is activated, but provided smooth big-hit damping when the force was great enough to open the second chamber. It was an instant success and Trek adopted the shocks to many of their bikes.
This year, the company worked with Fox to create a DRCV fork. Initially, the forks will only be available on select Trek models, but eventually we should see DRCV models expand deeper through the line. On the test models we rode, the benefits were immediately felt. The fork offered great small bump compliance, unmatched ability (for a trail fork) to suck up big hits and a very linear spring rate throughout the entire length of travel. While Trek's 2012 line of bikes is impressive, we can only hope Fox will offer after-market versions of the fork.

Renewable fuel relief
Energy | Expensive corn pits livestock producers against ethanol makers and farmers in a clash over biofuel
Corn and soybeans in the United States haven't been in such sad shape since 1988.
On Monday federal officials reported that less than a quarter of U.S. corn is in good to excellent condition as the nation continues to wither beneath the most widespread drought in five decades. Meteorologists the same day predicted another week or more of moderately dry weather throughout the Midwest. Meteorologists on Wednesday predicted light rains over the weekend but said hot weather would return to the Midwest next week.
The drought is impacting U.S. industries in unique ways: Barge operators on the Mississippi River are reducing load sizes to avoid scraping the bottom of the rain-deprived river. Crop insurers are preparing for what might be a record payout to farmers. And because of the high price of corn feed, livestock producers are sending pigs and beef cattle to market ahead of schedule-even slaughtering cows that still have years of reproductive potential left in them.
The demand for corn has positioned farmers and livestock owners on opposite sides of a dispute over biofuel. On Monday, 19 livestock and dairy industry groups asked the Environmental Protection Agency to waive a national biofuel production quota that requires billions of bushels of corn to be converted to ethanol each year. Reducing or eliminating the quota, the groups argued, would drive down the price of U.S. corn and make more of it available for use as animal feed.
"The predicted devastating impact on corn yields and resulting high prices for feed pose a severe threat to livestock and poultry producers," said the groups, led by the National Pork Producers Council, in an 18-page petition. "Many will choose to leave livestock farming altogether, and that combined with overall herd reductions across these industries, will cause significant job losses across all regions where livestock and poultry are raised."
The petition asks for a one-year waiver of the Renewable Fuel Standard, a program initiated in 2005 under President George W. Bush to promote nonpetroleum fuels for cars and trucks. Because of the program, about 40 percent of U.S. corn goes to ethanol production, while the second largest use of corn is for animal feed. The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates the production of 13.8 billion gallons of ethanol in 2013, which will require about 5 billion bushels of corn. At this point analysts only expect farmers to harvest about 11.5 billion bushels this year.
Ethanol advocates were quick to defend the biofuel quota. "Unfortunately, these large meat processing corporations feel they should be excused from participation in this natural disaster, and are trying to shift all of the financial impact of a drought to corn farmers and ethanol producers," said Brian Jennings, the executive vice president of the American Coalition for Ethanol.
Garry Niemeyer, the president of the National Corn Growers Association, said his organization would "strongly oppose" efforts to waive the Renewable Fuel Standard. "Now is the time for all of American agriculture to pull together and work together for solutions that benefit us all."
Christopher Hurt, an agricultural economist at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., pointed out that corn farmers enjoy federally subsidized crop insurance to cover most of their losses-and those that avoid drought losses will make substantial profits when they sell their corn in this year's highly priced markets.
Ethanol producers, fulfilling the national biofuel quota, can pass on the cost of expensive corn at the pump, since gasoline normally contains about 10 percent ethanol. (This year's drought has raised the price of a gallon of gas about 6 cents so far, Hurt said.)
But there's no subsidized insurance or federal mandate for meat production. As a result, the drought is hitting the livestock industry especially hard in the form of expensive corn and soybean feed. Some cattle producers are feeding their animals spring hay now, but will face feed shortages this winter, Hurt said. In southern Indiana, where drought conditions are the most extreme, $4 bales of hay are selling for up to $15.
"Some of them are just going to have to liquidate animals. They just can't hold on," Hurt said. He guessed livestock producers could lose $15 to $30 billion because of the year's drought.
Researchers from the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development at Iowa State University estimated in a past study that if the federal biofuel mandate had been waived in 2011, the price of corn would have dropped by about $1.50 a bushel. (The current price hovers above $8 a bushel-up about 50 percent from six weeks ago.) However, an analysis of the upcoming marketing year by one of the researchers, Bruce Babcock, found that waiving the biofuel mandate might only lower corn prices 5 percent.
The EPA has never granted a waiver to the current version of the Renewable Fuel Standard since it went into effect five years ago. The only other time anyone petitioned the EPA to waive the quota was in April 2008, when Texas governor Rick Perry asked for a partial waiver on behalf of his state's livestock owners. The agency denied Perry's request.
Federal law explicitly allows the EPA to waive the renewable fuel quota in emergency situations, but there's no hint that the agency is currently inclined to do so. Agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack also said recently that he doesn't want to see the quota lowered.
"The whole waiver process, if not enacted now, has to be put into question," said John Burkel, vice chairman of the National Turkey Federation, one of the petitioners. Burkel told Reuters: "If we are not going to do this now, in a historic drought year, then when?"
It's unlikely the EPA will make a decision on the petition before fall, when it will have a better picture of the overall 2012 harvest. Hurt suspects the agency won't act until after the November election as a way of avoiding political repercussions. Its ruling on the biofuel mandate is likely to anger one interest group or another: Either ethanol and corn producers, who profit from the biofuel program, or livestock producers and consumers, who are paying for more expensive corn in the form of feed, groceries, gasoline, and taxpayer-subsidized crop insurance.
"These are billions of dollars that [will] float back and forth depending on what the government decides," Hurt said.

Detailed Description:
For stable patients who underwent coronary bypass operation, Aspirin alone currently represents the gold standard of antiplatelet treatment. A few smaller studies using a combination therapy of antiplatelet drugs including Aspirin and Clopidogrel have shown conflicting results. Albeit a number of cardiac surgeons prefer dual antiplatelet therapy with Aspirin and Clopidogrel, Aspirin monotherapy is currently the only guideline recommended therapy after CABG.
A sub-analysis of PLATO trial comprising more than 1200 ACS patients who were not considered to be appropriately suited for PCI and therefore subjected to CABG operation demonstrated an impressive reduction in mortality in those patients treated with Ticagrelor and Aspirin as compared to Clopidogrel and Aspirin. Based on the unmet clinical need regarding optimal antiplatelet therapy after CABG, the results of the PLATO CABG substudy and the observation that Ticagrelor benefits increase with decreasing Aspirin doses, Ticagrelor monotherapy (2x 90mg/day) appears to offer the best balance of safety with anticipated improved efficacy over Aspirin alone. However, there are no data available to support this hypothesis.

I have the following problem, the server was installed Zimbra had disc problems in installing the operating system and zimbra but the index and store was stored on another hard drive.
It reinstalled the server and ran the setup and data, this process was previously carried out safely at all, but now I can not access Webmail and running them anything with zmprov get the following error:
ERROR: zclient.IO_ERROR (invoke Read timed out, server: localhost) (cause: java.net.SocketTimeoutException Read timed out).
If i attempt to access webmail, my browser just sits and spins. It doesnt timeout, it just never loads the login. Makes me think it's getting something, just not anything useful.
But the Zimbra server starts normally.
The version is: CentOS5 FOSS 6.0.7_GA_2473.RHEL5_20100616214455 Edition

I have an existing Novell eDir with 115,000 user objects in it. It would be nice simply add the Zimbra schema ext to my existing installation.
We don't support this by default. You could try to add our schema but we've never tested this. We do have external LDAP auth and GAL support so if you want you could just point Zimbra at your current LDAP.
As Kevin mentioned, we currently don't support that configuration, but we definitely plan to.
Early on we received feedback from people who didn't want to modify their LDAP/AD servers/schemas/etc, so we've tried to enable co-existence by allowing for external GAL/auth.
We'd definitely be interested in understsanding your existing deployment:
1. directory layout. is it arranged by org or domain. Given an email address, how do I local the user entry in your a directory.
2. which object classes do your user objects belong to
3. if you are using LDAP for authorization, how are you using it? some sort of group schema, org-based, attr-value on account objects, etc.
4. would you want to use our admin console to create/delete accounts in your directory, or just add/remove zimbra-related attrs
5. do you have a GAL (global address list) full of contact information? If so, which attributes do you use, are their privacy constraints on what information you want published in there, etc.
6. If you'd rather run our ldap in parallel (as some people have indicated they would), would you use web services and/or command line utils to provision in our directory, or some sort of dir-sync program that can automatically track changes in your directory and map them into ours?
thanks, roland

The Nike Swim Team Color Block Brief Swimsuit makes a great team suit with its unique asymmetrical design and high-quality construction. The secure drawstring and soft, durable fabric allows for hours of excellent performance.
Great fit
Great fit...this is my second pair. The seam down the back makes for a more comfortable fit compared to Speedo brand. Have only swam in it three times so I don't know how it will hold up to chlorine. Fits true to size.

Good Product
Great fit and shape retention…feels good on the skin…almost like being naked in the water.
Love these briefs-- very comfortable
I now have 3 (blue, green and white/gray) of these briefs and love them. I wear 34/35 jeans and ordered these in size 34. They are snug and hold everything high and tight. Yet they are amazing comfortable, even after long swim sessions. I like fitted back center seam which gives a snugger fit over the hip. There's no problem of scooping water on the turns at the wall. I hope Nike continues this line.

I like this suit
I'm in my 30s now, but I started competitive swimming at age 6. I've worn just about every kind of suit there is except for the uber-technical stuff. I still swim about 5K yards a week and this suit fits great during my workouts. My old Tyr solid racer was a 34, but I've slimmed down since I bought it. My true waist size is a 32 now, but I took a chance on the Nike in a 30. It's just a bit snug, but not too tight--just right. It fits like a racing suit should. The leg openings don't confine, I can still move. The only tiny issue is that the drawstring seems a bit long.
very comfortable, cool color block design
Fits the same as all Nike briefs, once you find your size it seems to be consistent across the board. Very comfortable for long workouts. Unfortunately I only get about 3-4 months out of these briefs (currently used up my third pair) before they start to sag and really fade (so 4 stars instead of 5). If you can get these on sale pick up a few they are worth it.
Normandy Park, WA
Nice Design and Fit
This item is well made and seems durable. The design and size are a bit on the small size. Design style is nice.
Santa Rosa, CA
Fit: Feels too small
Good fit and decent product, butt (pun intended)....
I find the spandex begins to wear along the rear center seam and they only last a few months.

Great fit
All my pants are size 34. I ordered 34 and they fit perfectly. Snug where it needs to be. I have always worn Speedo brand but I like the fit of these better. Don't have much backside naturally but these make it look good. The front is supportive but room for everything.
Just what I was looking for
This suit works great for my 3-4 weekly conditioning swims. I swam competitively through high school, but hadn't done any aquatic conditioning in over 15 years. When I decided to get back into it, I needed a suit that would stand up to the chlorine and allow me to use it. Fits well, and no issues.
Philly, PA
Excellent fit
Great product…fit is excellent and shape retention all good.
