Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
A scheduled review process will occur at 5 years from publication or sooner if new compelling evidence warrants earlier consideration.
Sleep disordered breathing for which tonsillectomy is indicated
Children aged 2 to 18 years with sleep-disordered breathing who are candidates for tonsillectomy
Note: This guideline is not intended for the following populations:
Several initial literature searches were performed through February 27, 2010, using MEDLINE, the National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC) (www.guideline.gov ), The Cochrane Library, Guidelines International Network (GIN), the National Research Register (NRR), ClinicalTrials.gov, the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and EMBASE. The initial search using "polysomnography" or "polysomnograph*" or "PSG" or "sleep apnea syndromes" or "apnea hypopnea index" or "respiratory disturbance index" or "AHI" or "RDI" or "sleep disorder*" or "sleep study*" or "sleep laboratory" in any field showed 5,686 potential articles:
Results of all literature searches were distributed to guideline panel members, including electronic listings with abstracts (if available) of the searches for randomized trials, systematic reviews, and other studies. This material was supplemented, as needed, with targeted searches to address specific needs identified in writing the guideline through July 2010.
*High-risk populations include children with obesity, neuromuscular or craniofacial disorders, Down syndrome, mucopolysaccharidoses, or sickle cell disease.
49 guidelines
34 systematic reviews or meta-analyses
24 randomized controlled trials
92 original research studies
Evidence Quality for Grades of Evidence
The evidence-based approach to guideline development requires that the evidence supporting a policy be identified, appraised, and summarized and an explicit link between evidence and statements be defined. Evidence-based statements reflect both the quality of evidence and the balance of benefit and harm anticipated when the statement is followed. Definitions of evidence-based statements are listed in the "Rating Scheme for the Strength of the Evidence" and "Rating Scheme for the Strength of the Recommendations" fields.
This guideline was developed using an explicit and transparent a priori protocol for creating actionable statements based on supporting evidence and the associated balance of benefit and harm. The guideline development panel was chosen to represent the fields of pediatric anesthesiology, pediatric pulmonology, otolaryngology–head and neck surgery, pediatrics, and sleep medicine.
In a series of conference calls, the working group defined the scope and objectives of the proposed guideline. During the 10 months devoted to guideline development ending in September 2010, the group met twice, with interval electronic review and feedback on each guideline draft to ensure accuracy of content and consistency with standardized criteria for reporting clinical practice guidelines.
American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) staff used the Guideline Elements Model Conference on Guideline Standardization (GEM-COGS), the Guideline Implementability Appraisal and Extractor, to appraise adherence of the draft guideline to methodological standards, to improve clarity of recommendations, and to predict potential obstacles to implementation. Guideline panel members received summary appraisals in September 2010 and modified an advanced draft of the guideline.
Guideline Definitions for Evidence-Based Statements
*See "Rating Scheme for the Strength of Evidence" for definition of evidence grades.
The guideline developers reviewed published cost analyses.
The final draft practice guideline underwent extensive external peer review. Comments were compiled and reviewed by the group chairpersons, and a modified version of the guideline was distributed and approved by the development panel.
The evidence grades (A-D, X) and evidence-based statements (Strong Recommendation, Recommendation, and Option) are defined at the end of the "Major Recommendations" field.
Statement 1. Indications for Polysomnography (PSG)
Before performing tonsillectomy, the clinician should refer children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) for PSG if they exhibit any of the following: obesity, Down syndrome, craniofacial abnormalities, neuromuscular disorders, sickle cell disease, or mucopolysaccharidoses.
Recommendation based on observational studies with a preponderance of benefit over harm.
Evidence Profile
Statement 2. Advocating for PSG
The clinician should advocate for PSG prior to tonsillectomy for SDB in children without any of the comorbidities listed in statement 1 for whom the need for surgery is uncertain or when there is discordance between tonsillar size on physical examination and the reported severity of SDB.
Recommendation based on observational and case-control studies with a preponderance of benefit over harm.
Statement 3. Communication with Anesthesiologist
Clinicians should communicate PSG results to the anesthesiologist prior to the induction of anesthesia for tonsillectomy in a child with SDB.
Statement 4. Inpatient Admission for Children with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Documented in Results of PSG
Clinicians should admit children with OSA documented in results of PSG for inpatient, overnight monitoring after tonsillectomy, if they are under age 3 years or have severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index of 10 or more obstructive events/hour, oxygen saturation nadir less than 80%, or both).
Statement 5: Unattended PSG with Portable Monitoring (PM) Device
In children for whom PSG is indicated to assess SDB prior to tonsillectomy, clinicians should obtain laboratory-based PSG, when available.
Recommendation based on diagnostic studies with limitations and a preponderance of benefit over harm.
None provided
The type of supporting evidence is identified and graded for each recommendation (see the "Major Recommendations" field).
Recommendations contained in the practice guideline are based on the best available published data through July 2010. Where data were lacking, a combination of clinical experience and expert consensus was used.
Appropriate use of polysomnography for sleep-disordered breathing prior to tonsillectomy in children
For benefits of specific interventions considered in the guideline, see the "Major Recommendations" field.
Implementation Considerations
The complete guideline is published as a supplement to Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery to facilitate reference and distribution. The guideline was presented as a mini-seminar at the 2011 American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) Annual Meeting & OTO Expo in San Francisco, CA. Existing brochures and publications by the AAO-HNS will be updated to reflect the guideline recommendations. A full-text version of the guideline is accessible to the public at the SAGE Journals Online Web site .

As quaint an idea as even Norman Rockwell could have conjured, Christmas club accounts provide a convenient way to hide money until the holidays.
hock shock
"Many, many credit unions offer Christmas clubs,"
says Mike Schenk, vice president of economics
and statistics for the Credit Union National Association.
"They're a handy way for budgeting for big outlays.
For big-ticket items that occur on a regular basis,
many credit unions offer these accounts so people
don't have to go into hock."
Schenk says that a 2006 year-end
survey reports that 76 percent of the 8,700 credit unions
throughout the nation offer Christmas club accounts
and 83 percent of the nation's 90 million credit union members have access
to the service at their credit unions.
"It's a good idea, as opposed to borrowing, like a
credit card," says Steve Brobeck, executive director
of the Consumer Federation of America. "It's far
less expensive to save money in a Christmas club,
even one that pays little or no interest, than
to finance purchases with a credit card. They're
fundamentally a good idea that those who cannot
afford to pay cash for Christmas-related expenses
should consider."
Before you open a Christmas club account, Brobeck
and Schenk agree, you need to pay attention to how the account is
but still highly efficient
It's a balancing act. More interest is nice, but opening an
account that you won't dip into before next Christmas (because of
a penalty fee) is also valuable.
your bank a try
If you're not a credit union member, your bank
may offer you a Christmas club program.
As with credit unions, you'll want
to check with your banker on the specifics of
the account. Your interest rates will be low --
that's a fact with any Christmas club account
-- and you'll want to ask about early withdrawal
fees and how to access the funds if you need them

I've been seeing a lot of people posting and referencing articles on how parents should talk to their daughter about her body. This topic has been on my mind for about 12 years. Well, truthfully, at least 24 years. Because that is when I was put on my first diet. I was in fifth grade.
will admit fully that it took me some years to forgive my parents for
putting me on diets and letting my brothers call me "extra large and in
charge" and "wide load" for much of my youth. I used to blame them
(inwardly) for the low esteem I had for my own body. "If only they
hadn't put me on all of those diets while my brothers got to eat--nay,
were encouraged to eat--everything they could put their hands on." I
remember going to early hour high school at 6:55 a.m. with a piece of
whole wheat toast with cucumbers and fat-free ranch on it for my
breakfast and thinking, "I must be really fat to deserve this."
took me years to realize that my parents were actually really kind to
care about me and want me to be physically content with myself. They
were putting me on diets because they were sincerely trying to help me. I
was never thin, but I was never large. If only I could wear the pants I
wore in high school when I thought I was "fat!" Wait, scratch that. It
was the 90s and those pants were not awesome.
I don't hold a grudge against my parents any longer. What I put into my
body now is totally my own choice. I cannot blame them for my desire to
eat three scoops of ice cream or half a loaf of french bread with a
hefty wedge of brie cheese. I can blame them for giving me really big
quads and boobs, though. Because I know they planned on handing down
those genes to me. Right?!
spent so much of my youth worrying about my pant size and my weight. I
will never forget in elementary school when the teacher had us all stand
up and pinch our bellies. She said if we could "pinch an inch" then we
needed to eat less. I was mortified. I don't even think I knew how big
an inch was, but I was sure that I needed to eat less.
do I give all of my children the right tools to deal with their bodies
and self image? I've been trying to figure that out for most of my adult
1. All children are beautiful.
kids don't even look like the are related to each other, but MAN, they
are so beautiful. How amazing are these little people and all of their
twinkling eyes and goofy grins? Sometimes I am baffled that any little
kid could think they are anything but beautiful. Created in the image of
2. All bodies are SUPPOSED to look different.
What is this? The year 2439 when all humans will be genetically engineered to look the exact same? Uh, no.
3. Food is fuel.
need to eat to survive. Calories in other countries are called "energy"
which is what they give you. Stop giving negative connotations to
simple words. The more close to nature the food, the more energy it
gives our bodies. The end.
1. Eating should not be considered "good" or "bad".
My friend
mentioned this one to me and it rung so true that I heard bells for
days. Kids hear when their parents say that they had a bad eating day or
that they were good because of their food choices. Children have very simple categories: stealing is
bad; sharing is good; hitting is bad; hugging is good. When they eat
something full of sugar and hear the word "bad" alongside it, what are
they grouping it with? Cheating, lying and murder? No wonder we feel
guilt when we indulge in certain types of food.
2. Children need praise for all kinds of things, especially things that they can control / don't change
is more fickle than our bodies. We can easily break, scratch, burn and
go bald. If all of our self esteem is in the way we look, then WATCH
OUT! Because age screws everyone. I actually dislike when someone
comments on if I have lost weight. It makes me feel like I am doing it
for anyone other than myself and that it is important to everyone else. I
love when someone compliments me on something I have
said/done/accomplished or how I treated someone or made someone happy.
Of course, I do like/need to hear that my husband finds me attractive.
Fickle, fickle me.
3. We shouldn't avoid talking about bodies with our children.
because we shouldn't always be commending (or worse, degrading) our
children's bodies, doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about them. It's a
tricky subject, to be sure, and I am still not sure the best way to do
this. Not so long ago, I had a talk with my oldest daughter about how
our bodies change every decade or so and we have to reassess what we eat
and how we exercise. If I ate only Cheetos all day now, I would get
really shaky and nauseated. Fifteen years ago, I would have been fine. I
tried to explain to her that she needs to start thinking about what she
eats and how she stays physically active. "You can no longer eat like a
child," I told her, "because your body doesn't think it is a child." I
explained that I wanted her to know what I wish I had known, so I could
make wise decisions for myself.
was feeling like this was a good direction to help her learn and
understand her body better. But, what happened? She cried and let me
know that she thought she was larger than all of her friends.
Cue: mother heart breaking.
little friend, you're beautiful. You're kind and funny and super smart.
This is just how we learn to take care of our bodies.
I need to share the knowledge I have gained, without any pressure. Kids
need to learn to eat well and exercise because it feels good and makes
them happy. If it is negative pressure (or forced upon them) (or if,
like me, they are the only child on a special diet), they will want to
push back and control the situation. Or they will feel guilt and
do tell my daughter she is beautiful. I also tell my sons that they are
handsome. But I hope that what they hear more often is how much I like
them for the people they are inside their bodies. Whatever they look
like now or in the future is not nearly as big of a deal as the kind of
people they are--how they treat people, their humor, work ethic,
empathy, knowledge, etc.
it's not as easy as some articles I have read. It's not about avoiding
talking about their bodies. Frankly, if parents don't begin the
conversation on how to love and care for your own body, kids will never
want to talk to their parents when they have questions/concerns.
also not about only telling your kid they are beautiful all of the
time. Or never mentioning that they are beautiful. It is somewhere in
the middle. Methinks.
still struggle with my own reflection. But when I find something
positive, I make sure that my children hear me showing gratitude for my
self and the things my body can do. It will never look like it did when I
was in high school, but oh FREAKING well. That doesn't make me any less
what you got. Let your kids know you love them in millions of ways
other than their appearance. Teach them how to take care of their
bodies. Get some perspective on life--it's not all about what you look
like. Same goes for your kids.

I recently read Intuitive Eating, and in it there is a chapter specifically on how to treat/talk to your children about these types of things that I thought made a lot of sense. I got it from the library if you're interested.

There are no bad bodies. There is only bad lighting.

Yeah. What Laraine said.
PS. I think a good body image is one of the hardest things to impart as a parent, especially in this culture.

The dramedy film "Stuck in Love" (formerly titled "Writers") shows how a family of writers deals with and expresses romantic love. Three years past his divorce, veteran novelist Bill Borgens (played by Greg Kinnear) can't stop obsessing over, let alone spying on, his ex-wife Erica (played by winner Jennifer Connelly), who ignominiously left him for another man. Even as his neighbor-with-benefits Tricia (played by Kristen Bell) tries to push him back into the dating pool, he remains blind to anyone else's charms. Meanwhile, his fiercely independent collegiate daughter Samantha (played by Lily Collins) is publishing her first novel while recoiling at the very thought of first love with a diehard romantic (played Logan Lerman).
Bill's teen son Rusty (Nat Wolff) is trying to find his voice, both as a fantasy writer and as the unexpected boyfriend of a dream girl named Kate (played by Liana Liberto), a school mate with unsettlingly real problems. As each of these situations mounts into a tangled trio of romantic holiday crises, it brings the Borgens to surprising revelations about how endings become beginnings. "Stuck in Love" had its world premiere at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, where I caught up with Kinnear for this interview.
Have you ever wanted to be a novelist in real life?
I have incredible of novelists — the idea of being able to start with nothing and create something that moves you is remarkable. I have the same sort of fascination; there's a mystery to it. It's why people find filmmaking so fascinating. It's not so fascinating when you're making a movie, but the idea that these groups of people — crew, actors — get a couple of cameras, go off for a couple of months, and come back and project something that emotionally moves an audience, I think people are quite taken with that. And in the same way that somebody could sit there with a blank page and start with some story that I could then end up reading years later and moved by it emotionally is quite a hat trick. So I love the idea of being a writer. I just can't do it.
Have you ever tried writing a novel?
The kind of writing that this guy, Bill Borgens, does — I've done some writing for scripts and things like that — he's in very rare territory, as is the rest of his family. And I had never played a novelist before. I thought there was something very cool about that. I was excited about that. He's going through a rough patch. He's seen better days. It's true of all vocations: You have your highs and lows.
What can you say about working with Lily Collins, who plays Bill Borgens' daughter Samantha?
She's quite lovely and really talented and wonderful. I was very lucky to have her as a daughter for a brief couple of months there. It was really talented. She came in and actually read for this role.
And Josh [Boone, the writer/director of "Stuck in Love"] called me and said, "Hey, do mind coming over? Lily Collins is going to read for the role." She really wanted the role, and I went over, and we did this [reading] in a room like this, just one or two times, and I thought, "Wow! This girl is fantastic." And they knew it. And she ended up becoming Samantha, and I was very elated about that.
And how did you get cast in "Stuck in Love"?
Oh, same thing as usual. The script was sent over. It was not one that I jumped at right away. A family of a bunch of writers didn't strike me as the most exciting subject matter, but I cracked it, and I thought that the characters, regardless of whether they were thought of as family or not, were very vibrant. And I like the multi-generational storylines going on.
And I met with Josh, and he told me that the story between Jennifer Connelly and myself was actually born out of his own parents' divorce and how powerful that was. I thought that was such an incredible thing, that that was the starting point. His wish list was that, "If my parents could have gotten back together, how great that would have been." I was quite moved by it, actually.
And then all the other elements of the storylines, I felt little bits and pieces throughout high school and college. I, in fact, recognized some of those things. And I liked how it was a comedy with some drama or a drama with some comedy. I wasn't quite sure, but it had a little bit of both.
What kind of student were you in high school? Were you a geek or a jock or somewhere in between?
I was somewhere in between. I got introduced to acting at a young by a couple of great drama teachers. I was interested in that. I never thought I'd get a job being an actor, truthfully. But yeah, I probably landed somewhere between the two. I wasn't a total geek but I wasn't a total jock.
You mentioned earlier that there were some things in "Stuck in Love" that reminded you of when you were in high school? What were those things?
I don't know if they were all relatable to my own life, but there were threads and bits and pieces of just that kind of passion you have when you're young and finding what that's about. It's quite interesting. Nat [Wolff] is a wonderful actor, a really good actor. I was blown away. I'd worked with Jennifer Connelly before, but I hadn't worked with any of these other actors. I thought they were all quite, quite good. I was really pleased with the casting.
You made another movie with Jennifer Connelly: 2011's "Salvation Boulevard." You also played a couple with marital problems in that movie. Is that a coincidence?
Yeah, it's just a coincidence that we did that other movie, but I like her. I think she's incredible. So the idea of working with her made a lot of sense for me. She's smart. She has a tough role here [in "Stuck in Love"]. She's not playing an instantly likable person. She doesn't beg the audience to like her. In fact, there are quite a few speed bumps to get over before she resolves herself at the end, but she did a really nice job.
Do you think being a teenager now is more difficult than when it was when you were a teenager?
I don't know. Do you?
Teenagers have many more different ways of communicating now because of technology.
Yeah, I think the communication thing is hard in my life. I think with texting, there comes the insecurity of responding or not responding. Do you want to respond to somebody?
And how many people can be coming at you at any given time, when you take a kid, were they ever meant to have this many outlets of communication? Not really. Certainly not biologically. It was never supposed to be that way. I've been trying to negotiate all that. It's got to be hard for a 15- or 16-year-old.
In fact, they've done some studies. Nicholas Carr wrote this book called "The Shallows," which is a great book about the deadening effect of the computer on the brain. They've done studies about it. Even memory is limited, based upon these little devices. I suppose for a young person coming up, the ramifications of that would be quite difficult.
My oldest child is 9, and I try to keep computers away from her. I also have a 3-year-old, and all she wants to do is play with either the phone or the iPads. It's a tough road. There's no way around it. Toys R Us is coming out with their own tablet. [He says sarcastically] Isn't that a great invention?
In many ways, Bill Borgens acts more like his kids' friend than he acts like a parent. What can you say about that?
Who doesn't want to play a cool father?
Are you anything like Bill Borgens as a father?
No. When I read the script, I was a little put off by his openness in his conversations with the kids. That was a little foreign to me — and yet strangely refreshing. I liked the exploration of a dad who was going through his kids like they were his contemporaries.
Of course, there's the other side to that — because I have friends who deal with their kids like that — which is the kids deal with you like you're they're contemporary too. If you're talking about your sexual experiences with you, it's a two-edged sword.
It's a little selfish, really. There's some element of selfishness about that, but a successful novelist probably does have some element of selfishness. It's the one I played best.
When you have a cast that can play such a believable family, what is the main reason for that believability? Is it the acting, the directing or the writing?
It's always the acting. I do think it's a combination of all those things you just cited. That dreaded "chemistry" term that you hear in movie profiles all the time is a little eye-rolling, but I do think there's some element to that.
We all showed up in Wilmington [in North Carolina]. I'd worked with Jennifer. I didn't know the other actors; they didn't know me. A lot of these actors had never worked together before. So suddenly, everybody could end up hating each other.
It could have been better. That doesn't necessarily mean that nobody got along. They did. It was quite an enjoyable group, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to equate to a better equation, in terms of the relationships in the movie and making it real to the audience. There's just no accounting for it. It either happens or it doesn't. It either feels real or it doesn't.
Different people have different reactions. I've seen movies where I have strong disagreement with my wife about what worked and what didn't. This is how art is. You paint a picture, and you say, "This is how I see it. Do you?" And people either say yes or no. Same with movie watching, I guess.
Where you do see yourself at this point in our career? And have the types of movies you like to make changed over time?
I've not been very genre-seeking in my movie search. I've been, probably stupidly, either responded to a script or not. I felt like, "Oh, this is something interesting here." Or the chance to work with somebody. I've done some element of every kind of genre, to some degree.
I don't know. I'm not very forward-thinking. I'm very linear. If a script comes in and there's an opportunity to do something and it feels good, maybe it works out.
But in terms of career observation, I'm not great at that either. I guess I'm in my "literary phase," given the fact that I did a movie called "The English Teacher" with Julianne Moore. We'll see what's next.

For many people, it is difficult to fall asleep at night. It feels like we naturally want to stay up later, even though we know we have to get up at particular hour in the morning to get to work on time.
This desire to stay up later is linked to the fact that humans operate on a 25-hour day. Studies have shown that humans, without access to day/night clues such as daylight or time pieces, naturally drift to a 25-hour day. In these studies, the patients would stay up one hour later each day, fitting into a 25-hour day cycle.
As humans we are designed to adjust, so we can manage a day that is one-hour off our natural cycle. We can easily adjust to going to sleep one hour earlier (24-hour day) or one hour later (26-hour day). When we try to modify our schedule by more than that, such as shift workers who adjust their schedule by 8 hours, then it becomes more difficult and side affects including health problems may occur.
This also reveals the importance of sticking more-or-less to a steady bed-time and wake-up time, even through our days off. Monday mornings can be very difficult when you start to drift your day/night cycle by staying up late on Friday, and even later on Saturday. Suddenly on Sunday you are wanting to adjust your day cycle by moving your bedtime up by 3-5 hours, which is a difficult adjustment. Therefore by Monday morning many find themselves groggy and sleep all day from sleep deprivation.

Implementations are not required to provide any new features. New color depths are very important for devices like the palm (4bit) and some mobile phones. I don't think that we'll need that much code, a single color conversation function should be sufficient for a server, if clean implemented.

Oct. 14, 2009
STANFORD, Calif. - What began as a response to loneliness has evolved into a tradition that senior Jennifer Luther hopes will continue at Stanford after her field hockey career is over.
The Cardinal may be the only team in the country that celebrates Canadian Thanksgiving - it's the second Monday in October, by the way. But it's not the celebration of a holiday that makes the occasion special. It's the chance to feel at home away from home, and to connect with teammates as a family.
"It's a celebration of being together, and being there for each other," said Luther, a native of North Vancouver, B.C.
For the past three years, players and friends have gathered for a potluck dinner on campus to eat a home-cooked meal in honor of the Canadian holiday.
The idea came from Luther, who, as a freshman, missed the holiday she celebrated (Canadian Thanksgiving) and returned home for one she didn't (American Thanksgiving). While home during the American holiday, she spent the week bored and without friends while her parents worked.
So, Luther vowed to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving anyway, no matter where she was. The trick was getting her teammates to go along with it.
"I figured, no one's going to want to do that," she said.
She was wrong. Katherine Swank volunteered to make a turkey and other teammates joined in to celebrate in a dorm lounge.
This year, Canadian Thanksgiving (celebrated Oct. 12) was a little more upscale, held in a house. Swank again made the turkey (a 24-pounder this year) and Luther brought the dressing, a concoction created by her father Doug that includes dried cranberries and pine nuts. Others contributed their own favorites: Rachel Bush brought okra and Rachel Mozenter sweet potatoes, Nora Soza baked berry and pumpkin pies, and Midori Uehara made the cranberry sauce.
In addition, Luther and freshman Alysha Sekhon, the team's newest Canuck, gave a PowerPoint presentation about the history of Canadian Thanksgiving.
During the meal, as is the custom, each person described something they're thankful for, which always seems to lead to a heart-felt communication that rarely occurs on a road trip or at practice.
For a team that includes five international players, three from England and two from Canada, the time is much appreciated.
"It makes me feel like I'm at my family Thanksgiving, even if I'm not there," Luther said.
Does the celebration translate into victories?
"I don't know," said Luther, whose team is 11-2 and ranked a program-best No. 13. "But I would definitely say that our team shows a bond that is uncommon for a college team."
Swank, a junior, will be around to make a turkey next year, but Luther hopes the tradition will carry on beyond that, whether the team has Canadians or not.
"It started out as just one person missing home," Luther said, "and turned into 22 people coming together to make that one person feel at home."

WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL: Cardinal coming together
A five-set upset of No. 3 Washington on Saturday was the best evidence yet of the potential of this season's Stanford women's volleyball team.
The No. 5 Cardinal (11-4, 4-1), largely remade from the national championship finalist side of a year ago, was the first to take a set and a match against the Huskies (15-1) this season.
Senior Janet Okogbaa did most of the damage, with a collegiate high 21 kills, and Stanford got strong performances from Alix Klineman (14 kills, 5 blocks) and freshman setter Karissa Cook (45 assists, 10 digs), both of whom have been hampered by injuries.
With a collection of freshmen, redshirt freshmen and veterans who have worked hard for the chance to get on the court, the Cardinal has struggled at times, but now has four consecutive victories, including over traditional powers USC and UCLA on the road.
"It's experience," Stanford coach John Dunning said. "You think you know what it feels like (to play under pressure) and you think you know how you'll operate under those circumstances. And then you get on the court and realize you've underestimated what the opponent can do.
"It comes down to how you deal with it, not just how good they are, but how you deal with the moment that presents itself in big matches."
The progress has been immense, especially coming in what even Stanford players believed would be a rebuilding year.
"We've played five matches in a row where we turned corners," Dunning said. "We've gone through three weeks now where we've taken big steps forward. Against Washington, that was a huge step forward against a very good team."

FOOTBALL: Game days for walk-ons
Stanford coaches wanted to reward younger players with an opportunity to make the travel squads, so they created an environment that allows them to battle it out for those coveted final spots.
Friday scrimmages pit the 30-40 players that have not locked up one of the 64 travel spots against each other. With perhaps four spots on the line, the young players battle it out with the rest of the team watching.
"In terms of player development, we wanted to do more to the younger guys," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "The idea of Friday came about to reward the guys who play well. This is their gameday."
Among those those who have won travel spots are freshmen walk-ons such as receivers Brad Busby and Sam Knapp, linebackers Brent Etiz and Brent Seals, offensive lineman Jacob Gowan and safety Myles Muagututia.
"The coaches tell us to treat these scrimmages like games, so we take them very seriously," Knapp said. "It gave me some extra confidence knowing I can make the team. But it also makes you push yourself so you can become one of those guys that travels every week."
* * *
FOOTBALL: Luck's poker face
Quarterback Andrew Luck has been impressive while guiding to Cardinal to a 4-2 early-season record, but the redshirt freshman impressed Harbaugh with his composure in a different way during a 38-28 loss at Oregon State on Saturday.
On the first play from scrimmage, Luck launched a deep pass to an open receiver that appeared destined for an 80-yard touchdown play, only for the ball to be dropped.
"His body language never changed," Harbaugh said of Luck. "He really kept his head in the game."
"Stuff happens," Luck said. "I'll never yell at a receiver for dropping the ball, because I make a lot of mistakes myself. We'll bounce back. That's how I approached it."

ATHLETICS: Home sweet home
Stanford teams have been in competition for more than seven weeks and still have yet to lose a single home event.
Through Wednesday, Cardinal teams are a combined 28-0-1 on The Farm.
Here is the breakdown: Men's water polo, 5-0; men's soccer, 5-0-1; field hockey, 4-0; women's volleyball, 4-0; football, 3-0; women's soccer, 3-0; men's swimming, 1-0; women's swimming, 1-0. For this purpose, the men's and women's cross country teams each count as 1-0 despite beating multiple teams at the Stanford Invitational.
* * *
HOME GAME OF THE WEEK: Stanford women's soccer vs. UCLA
Looking for a Stanford event to attend this week? The best bet is Sunday's women's soccer match against UCLA at 1 p.m. at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium.
Stanford (13-0) is ranked No. 1 and UCLA (11-1-1) is No. 3 in the NSCAA coaches' poll. The match should have Pacific-10 Conference title implications - UCLA is the defending champion and Stanford is seeking its first title since 2002.
It also should help determine NCAA Tournament seeding.
* * *
ATHLETICS: Leland gets new post
Former Stanford athletics director Ted Leland was name as director of the newly-created division for external affairs at his alma mater, University of the Pacific. Leland, who had been UOP's vice president for university advancement, will work toward making the university more accessible to the community.

Springsteen and Paul McCartney Show Cut Short By London Curfew
I call this poetic justice
Concert organizers pulled the plug on Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney after the two defied London's sound curfew.
The Boss had already exceeded the 10:30 p.m. curfew by half an hour Saturday night at Hyde Park when he welcomed McCartney on stage. The rock stars sang the Beatles hits "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Twist and Shout." But the microphones were turned off before they could thank the crowd, forcing them to leave the stage in silence. –ABC
When it comes to annoying far-left celebrities, Bruce Springsteen is in the upper echelon along with George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Barbara Streisand. So it just makes me laugh a little when this supposedly great moment in music history gets cut short by the same type of invasive Big Government policy that Bruce Springsteen always supports. Be careful what you wish for.

December 13,2013 Protestors stand upon the crumbled ruins of Linin's statue, an the world takes notice that Kiev is ignited with the aurora of revolution. Three profound points in this assessment comments that scholars succinctly have defined "the process of state making as "primitive central state power accumulation." Thus defined, state making must include the following:1) "The expansion and consolidation of the territorial and demographic domain under: a political authority, including the imposition of order on contested territorial and demographic space (war)." 2) "The maintenance of order in the territory where, and over the population on whom, such order has already been imposed (policing)." 3) "The extraction of resources from the territory and the population under the control of the state."From the Ukrainian perspective, "all three broad categories of activities outlined here, however, depend on the state's success in monopolizing and concentrating the means of coercion in its own hands in the territory and among the population it controls." One can easily disagree with Ayoob on many given points rather there has to be a consciences on what constitutes a stable nation state. Internal sources base their opposition on two factors. The first factor in exporting democracy is that people argue that a country's citizens are the only ones who can promote democracy.
The desire and struggle for democracy has to come from within. Christopher Coyne establishes that cooperation and self-governance is a habit. Citizens volunteer cooperation around liberal democratic institutions, as well as self-sustaining ones. Coyne stresses the point that without independent development, constant coercion and intervention will be needed, i.e.: "nation building" (Cohen). This position of intervention is simply motivated not only by the desire to spread democracy, but also on behalf of more self-interested objectives. Sometimes, the motivating force is national interest, and promoting democracy is how policymakers sell the war‒and subsequent occupation‒to the American public. The second factor is those who support non-intervention also base their arguments on the promotion of democracy, adding that democracies are not necessarily peaceful in their relations with other kinds of political systems. Owens argues that democratic peace is vulnerable in three areas .Still, they insist that sovereign, stable democracies have never waged war with each other in the modern international system. "The first it contains two inherent ambiguities, democracy is immeasurable, democracy is undefined and lastly democratic peace lacks a convincing theoretical foundation" (Owen, 1994). The ability to conjugate democracy will determine the effectiveness of democratic peace. Democracy is more likely to emerge in countries whose neighbors are democratic, presumably due to the cross-border exchanges and peer-to-peer learning that close proximity allows between nations. External sources and democratic peace propositions argue that the peace between democracies is based on shared democratic norms or political institutions. The relationship of relative peace among democracies is a result of some of the more desirable features of democracy, and it is not caused exclusively by economic or geopolitical characteristics of the state. External sources argue in support of a semi-pluralist and semi-globalist position. Pluralism is created on a different set of assumptions than a realistic form of government. In pluralism, we see that this form uses multiple bodies working cohesively to produce policy rather than one solitary entity. No one body actually rules; yet, they rule by consensus of the cooperative bodies. In globalism, there are three fundamental assumptions.
he first assumption is that the origins of relations between democratic nations exist only in a global context. The second assumption is all international relations between democratic nations are viewed from an historical context. The last assumption is that coalitions between democratic nations focus on the mechanism of domination. When examining exporting democracy, one cannot help but draw the conclusion that organizations, such as the United Nations, World Health Organization, World Trade Organization, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and the infamous International Atomic Energy Agency. If you assess this Baltic conflict by the standard of Kenneth Waltz The Man the State, and War establishes that the idea of Man vs. State vs. System is the foundation of conflict, in addition. Waltz argues three main positions in his theory the first being that conflict is caused by mans nature or the particular individual , the second is that wars are caused by the make up of the state, and the third which most accepted The traditional understanding of Man vs. State vs. System is based in inseparability and the need to balance power. It is this balance that brings "peace" or "domestic homogeny" . It is when that homogony is disrupted that conflict occurs. Stewart and Brown analysis of economic factors that contribute to violence on macro level . Mansfield and Snyder examination into the contribution of rapid democratization's contribution provides a more defined understanding of overall root causes of violence in addition to Samuel P Huntington and Kreide and Monroe . Simply put, for over 300 hundred years the traditional nation state has served as the primary unit for the make up of the international framework by which we function in today. Although the "nation-state" still exist the conditions of global information system and the global economy are such that the far reaching impact of domestic affairs and external forces have been amplified dramatically.
Waltz is simply making the case that states that act in a "Realistic" manner will produce conflict. He by default makes the argument that only the presence of "Pluralist" bodies in a Globalist international system can peace exist. When one examines the rise of multi-polar powers that possess regional dominance both economically and militarily such as The Republic of Turkey and India , North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran, .( Which many debate that both could be considered super powers, and that both sit on the UN Security Council if not for their limited military reach and limited economic output.). In an ideal world these powers act as a balancer" tipping the scales in the proxy dance i.e US,UK, and France for Europe and the developed world and China and Russia in favor or rouge states and the developing world. One can see that the power and potential for conflict increase when these smaller powers collide with the larger powers such as the US, UK, France, China and the Russian Federation. Much of the conflict comes from the desire of the West to spread democracy . They attempt to apply the Liberal democratic theory thus acting in a "Realistic" manner thus in their own interest they spread the idea of democracy with the Huntington conceptualized this augment best in his piece "The Clash of Civilizations" that the modern realities of today are that nation-states will remain the most powerful actors in world affairs, but the principal conflicts of global politics will occur between nations and groups of different civilizations." Conclusion The conclusion could be easily drawn that it is the development of the nation state that has allowed nations to exist and the very idea of Supra-nationalist bodies maintain this existence thus making globalism the ideal form existence for a 21st century state. the over all concepts man state – system conflict one can easily assess that conflict can originate at any level and all levels when opposing parties seek to overcome the very balance of each other as the state seeks maintain control over all parties while balancing itself against another nation-state in a multipolar

Costa Mesa girls raise money for tornado survivors
Nicole McMillan, a second-grader at California Elementary in Costa Mesa, started a lemonade stand to help benefit families affected by the tornado in Oklahoma City earlier this week. With the help of her friend and classmate Sofia Sihabouj, the pair began selling cups for 15 cents. After Boomers donated coupons for free miniature golf or a go-kart ride, cups of lemonade were sold for $2. So far, the pair have raised over $100 for the relief effort.

Rescue My Heart
Jill Shalvis
November 2012, Contemporary Romance
Berkley Sensation, $7.99, 304 pages, Amazon ASIN 0425255816Part of a series
Its always tricky starting a series without reading earlier entries. Will I care about the hero and heroine? Will appearances by past heroes and heroines make sense? And most importantly, will the book work as a standalone? Fortunately, the answer to all three of these questions for me is a resounding yes. I thoroughly enjoyed Rescue My Heart, the third in the authors Animal Magnetism and the first Ive read.
Adam Connelly is back in Sunshine, Idaho after being on active duty in the National Guard. In addition to running an animal clinic with his brothers, hes the Search and Rescue coordinator for the region and is heavily involved with leading and training other volunteers. But two years after some horrific experiences in Afghanistan, the actual rescues are a major problem for Adam. Although his panic attacks and nightmares have lessened, Adam still suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. Hes not ready, and feels he may never be, for a serious relationship. And he especially wants nothing to do with Holly Reid.
Holly grew up in New York, but first met Adam as a teenager when she spent a summer on one of her fathers ranches in Sunshine. Adam was wild and reckless and he was Hollys first love and the first man to break her heart. Given their past, Holly wants nothing to do with Adam, but she needs him. Her father went on a hunting trip three days earlier and hasnt returned.
Holly manages to convince Adam to look for her father, and then sneaks along for the rescue. This portion of the book dragged at times for me; it felt as if Holly and Adam rehashed their past problems multiple times. While they grow close over the course of the rescue, Adam remains adamant about not starting a relationship with anyone.
Adam grows considerably throughout the book. In contrast, Hollys development takes place before the book begins. She stayed in a lousy marriage too long, and then never told her brother and father when she actually divorced her ex-husband. By the time the book begins, although she still hasnt told her family the truth about her marriage, shes settled in to what she wants, where she wants to live, and its in Sunshine managing her fathers properties.
I havent read the first two books in the series so dont know how this fits in, but it worked well for me as a standalone. Lilah and Brady from Animal Magnetism and Jade and Dell from Animal Attraction make appearances. They come across as strong and interesting, and make me want to go back and read their stories. I especially enjoyed the interactions between Adam and his brothers.
Although they didnt play a major role in the book, I look forward to the next book in the series featuring Hollys friend Kate and her brother Griffin. In her few scenes Kate came across as intelligent, but socially awkward, and I look forward to seeing how that plays out.
A few things are wrapped up too quickly for my taste at the end, particularly Hollys fathers relationship with a woman. But despite that, I really enjoyed this book. While this worked for me as a standalone, I want to read the rest in the series; a sure sign of a successful read.
