Diagnosis and Treatment of Sleep Disorders
The Emory Clinic Sleep Disorders Center offers a complete range of diagnostic procedures to identify specific sleep disorders, as well as the latest treatments and therapies to manage the patient's condition. From simple snoring to more severe conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea, the center works with patients to tailor an individualized treatment plan.
Diagnostic Services
The Emory Clinic Sleep Disorders Center uses among the most sophisticated and technologically advanced diagnostic tools available to diagnose patients with sleep disorders. These include:
A polysomnogram records information about an individual's sleep. Sensors are gently attached to a patient's body which obtain, while the patient sleeps, a continuous recording of brain waves, eye movements, muscle tone, and oxygen levels in the blood, heart rate and rhythm, leg and body movements, sounds made while sleeping, breathing effort, and airflow through the nose and mouth. If other disorders are suspected, additional information is recorded.
The recording is painless, however patients with sensitive skin may notice mild irritation from the sensor adhesive. This equipment can be disconnected during the night, to enable a patient to get out of bed or use the bathroom.
A polysomnogram generally takes place during an overnight stay in the Sleep Center. If you routinely sleep during the day or evenings, your testing hours can be customized with advanced planning. Each of the Sleep Center's bedrooms are private with an adjoining private bathroom and shower, and patients are monitored from an adjacent control room by an experienced sleep technologist.
If Polysomnography testing shows that an individual demonstrates sleep apnea, a PAP titration study will be ordered to initiate treatment. If the sleep apnea is severe, this may take place during the first overnight sleep study. Otherwise, the individual will need to return for a second all-night sleep study before starting CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy.
During the titration study, as the patient sleeps using the CPAP machine, the sleep technologist will record data including the patient's breathing and make adjustment to the CPAP machine during the night. These adjustments do not require the technologist to awaken the patient. The technologist will use this information to find the level of air pressure that keeps the airway open and helps the patient to breathe easily and to reduce the number of times breathing stops to allow better and safer sleep.
The MSLT is the standard way to quantify sleepiness and diagnose disorders of excessive sleepiness. Generally used to evaluate for Narcolepsy, this type of polysomnogram is conducted after an overnight polysomnogram to investigate other possible causes of excessive sleepiness (e.g. sleep apnea or periodic limb movements during sleep) and to make sure the patient is not lacking REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. The MSLT begins one-and-a half to two hours after awakening in the morning, with the patient being encouraged to sleep five more times, once every two hours.
This polysomnogram is used to evaluate the ability to stay awake during the day. This is a variation of the MSLT, in which the patient is instructed to attempt to stay awake sitting up in bed, rather than napping, every two hours. MWT testing is available for testing required by the Dept. of Transportation, Federal Airway Adminsitration, and as required by other organizations and employers.
Treatment Services
Our center provides a full range of diagnostic capabilities to manage all types of sleep disorders. Our respected clinical quality is signified by our American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) accreditation. Our board-certified sleep experts provide consultation, treatment coordination and follow-up care with your primary care physician, and work closely with specialists in the fields of cardiology, pulmonology, and neurology.
Our physicians include those named among the "BEST DOCTORS IN AMERICA" and our sleep specialists have performed groundbreaking research on restless legs syndrome, periodic limb movement disorders, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Board certified sleep physicians and nurse practitioners utilize medication, CPAP, positioning therapy, weight loss therapy, and oral appliance therapy in the management of sleep disorders.
The current "gold standard" for the treatment of sleep apnea is use of a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine. This machine, used with a mask specifically selected by the patient, provides aire pressure that prevents the airway from closing and interrupting breathing. Many types and styles of masks are available, and our staff will work with the patient to determine which works best and is most comfortable for the patient. Consistent use of CPAP for the treatment of sleep apnea is important not only for better sleep, but to avoid more serious consequences of untreated sleep apnea such as:
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Myocardial Infarction (heart attack)
• Stroke
• Arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)
Everyone has a different experience when using CPAP for the first time. Some find that CPAP is comfortable and easy to use; others find it requires a period of adjustment. Emory Sleep Center is committed to ensuring you receive the education and support required to make your experience with CPAP as successful as possible. Our Center sleep specialists will determine if CPAP is an appropriate treatment method, or whether other treatment methods for sleep apnea should be considered.
A wide variety of medications are available to manage conditions such as narcolepsy, insomnia, and apneas. Our physicians will develop an individualized medication therapy plan for each patient.
Behavioral therapies treat the root causes of some sleep disorders. Depending on the type of disorder, recommended programs include:
• Weight loss
• A change in sleep habits
• An exercise regimen
Emory Sleep Center is pleased to announce the arrival of its Director of Sleep Surgery, Raj Dedhia, MD, MS. He is one of a handful of otolaryngologists (ENTs) in the country to be fully trained in sleep medicine. His practice focuses on surgical options for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as outlined below. Please call 404-778-3381 if you are interested in scheduling a comprehensive evaluation with him.
Am I a Candidate?
In order to be a candidate, you should have tried positive airway pressure (PAP) as this is the first-line treatment for OSA. If you are not able to consistently use PAP therapy, we can look at other treatment options, including oral appliance and surgery.
As a general rule, patients who are 1) obese and/or 2) have more severe sleep apnea will have fewer treatment options available to them.
What are the Surgical Options?
Upper airway surgery to directly treat OSA is not "one size fits all". There are numerous types of throat surgery for OSA, and it is critical to choose the procedure that corrects the individual's source(s) of obstruction. Studies have shown that determining the location of the obstruction site can significantly increase success rates. Generally speaking, there are 2 main sources of obstruction: the soft palate and the tongue (Figure 1 - seen at left. "X" marks obstruction behind the soft palate; "O" marks obstruction behind the tongue base). In each patient, I attempt to identify whether there exists a single site of obstruction or double-obstruction. This identification is done with a fiberoptic telescope exam performed through one of the nostrils. The exam can be done in the clinic with the patient awake or with the patient under sedation in the endoscopy suite or operating room. The sedated exam is called drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) and is intended to recreate natural sleep. There are 4 different classes of surgery to improve blockage in the throat.
Each of these surgery classes can address both soft palate and tongue-based obstruction. Choosing amongst the 4 options requires consideration of each patient's OSA severity, throat anatomy, body weight, medical problems and personal preference. Of note, it may take more than 1 procedure to satisfactorily address OSA; thus, the above surgery classes may be performed in a staged manner.
A. Soft tissue surgery
The most common type of soft tissue surgery for OSA is uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). I do not perform a traditional UPPP given the risk of certain unwanted side effects; instead, I generally perform a modified UPPP, known as expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty. This version of the procedure is reconstructive as it repositions the throat muscles to open the airway without removing significant tissue. Removal of lingual (i.e. tongue) tonsils and removal of portions of the tongue base can address tongue-based obstruction.
Modified UPPP
Reasons for surgery: soft palate obstruction
Procedure: Surgery is performed in the operating room and you will be under general anesthesia (completely unconscious) with a breathing tube in place. If palatine tonsils are present, they will be removed at the beginning. Next, the soft palate muscles are incised and reattached to a location such that the breathing space is increased. The muscles are set in place with dissolvable sutures. Total operative time is roughly 1.5 hours.
Main risks: Bleeding (3-4%), difficulty swallowing, residual OSA
Recovery: Most patients will spend at least 1 night in the hospital. You will experience a severe sore throat for 2-3 weeks. I recommend patients plan to take at least 2 weeks off from work. You will return for a checkup 3-4 weeks after surgery. More information is available in the handout "Post-operative Instructions after Palate, Tonsil or Tongue Surgery".
B. Skeletal Surgery
There exist several skeletal surgeries, each designed to address single obstruction (palate or tongue) or double-obstruction. Most commonly, I perform maxillomandibular advancement (MMA), also known as double-jaw surgery. This procedure is designed to treat double-obstruction. MMA has been shown to be very effective in treating OSA. Given the significant recovery time, however, MMA is reserved for motivated patients with limited health problems.
I perform this surgery with Dr. Gary Bouloux (oral surgeon at Emory) to optimize dental expertise and surgical efficiency.
Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA)
Reasons for surgery: moderate or severe OSA, small upper or lower jaw, double-obstruction
Procedure: Surgery is performed in the operating room and you will be under general anesthesia (completely unconscious) with a breathing tube in place. All incisions are made INSIDE the mouth. The upper jaw is exposed and divided, making sure not to damage the teeth nerves. The upper jaw is pulled forward roughly 10mm and fixated with plates and screws. Next, the lower jaw is exposed and similarly, divided to avoid nerve injury. The lower jaw is pulled forward roughly 10mm (to match the upper jaw) and fixated with plates and screws. Careful attention is given to ensure the bite does not change during the procedure. The incisions are closed with dissolvable suture. Arch bars (i.e. similar to dental braces) are left in place to allow for placement of rubber bands between the jaws. Total operative time is roughly 5 hours.
Main risks: longstanding numbness around the lips, change in dental bite, infection of hardware, residual OSA
Recovery: Most patients will spend 1 night in the ICU for monitoring and another 1-2 nights on the general ward. The rubber bands are removed at the first checkup 1 week after surgery. Over the course of 1-3 months, the amount of jaw opening will continue to increase. Numbness around the lips improves over the course of 3-12 months. Depending upon work type, I recommend patients take off at least 1 month from work. More information is available in the handout "Post-operative Instructions after Maxillo-mandibular Advancement".
C. Neurostimulatory Surgery
Nerve stimulation therapy represents the most recent advancement in sleep surgery. Currently, the Inspire® is the only device FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate-severe OSA. This therapy works by delivering electrical stimulation, synchronized to the breathing cycle, to the nerve which controls tongue movement (hypoglossal nerve). In essence, electrical stimulation of the tongue prevents falling back of the tongue and soft palate into the airway. Thus, this treatment is designed to treat double-obstruction. In order to qualify for the therapy, however, the patient cannot be obese and must undergo a drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) to ensure a certain type of airway collapse. More information regarding the therapy is available in our office or online at www.inspiresleep.com.
Nerve stimulator implant
Reasons for surgery: moderate or severe OSA, tongue and/or palate obstruction
Procedure: Surgery is performed in the operating room and you will be under general anesthesia (completely unconscious) with a breathing tube in place. A small incision is placed under the jawline on the right side and the hypoglossal nerve is dissected. A stimulation electrode is placed around the nerve. Next, a small incision is made in the right upper chest to place the generator. Finally, a small incision is made along the right rib cage to place the breathing sensor. All incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures. Total operative time is roughly 2.5 hours.
Main risks: longstanding tongue discomfort, infection of hardware, residual OSA
Recovery: Most patients will spend 1 night in the hospital for observation. Soreness over the incisions will be present for 3-5 days. Patients will return for checkup 1 week after surgery. At 1 month, the device will be activated. More information is available in the handout "Post-operative Instructions after Nerve Stimulator Implant".
D. Tracheostomy
Tracheostomy can be performed as a means of bypassing the upper airway. Tracheostomy is generally highly effective in treating OSA. The main drawbacks of the surgery are aesthetic concerns, maintenance of the stoma (neck opening) and lifestyle change (not able to participate in activities involving submersion in water such as swimming).
Reasons for surgery: persistent OSA despite other interventions, health issues preventing other treatment options
Procedure: Surgery is performed in the operating room and you will be under general anesthesia (completely unconscious) with a breathing tube in place. A small incision is made over the center of the neck. The outside of the trachea is identified. A plastic tube is placed in the trachea and affixed to the skin with non-dissolvable sutures. Total operative time is roughly 1 hour.
Main risks: infection, occlusion of airway, need for revision of stoma
Recovery: Most patients will spend 1 night in the ICU for monitoring and another night on the general ward. Patients will return for checkup and suture removal 1 week after surgery. More information is available in the handout "Post-operative Instructions after Tracheostomy".

1] When you get a new phone, it is advisable that for the first two to three cycles, let the battery completely drain out (till the phone switches off) and then recharge.
This ensures that your phone battery is able to function at full capacity. Also, do this once every month to ensure optimum battery performance.
2] You can easily save on battery and system memory being used by regularly checking the task manager. Close applications that you are not using.
3] Bluetooth is a major battery hog. Keep your Bluetooth switched off if you don't need it to save battery.
4] You can also turn down the brightness of the screen to get better battery backup.
5] Animated themes, operator logo and screensavers make your phone look funky, but they drain the battery too.
6] Additional services such as GPRS and WiFi should also be shut down as soon as your work is through.
7] When at home and office, keep the phone in silent. Ringtones use both the speaker and the vibrator function which leads to more battery consumption.
8] Try to avoid using the voice dialing feature if you want better battery life (especially in a phone with large 'contact' database).
9] Go to Display settings, and reduce the values of power saver time-out and light time-out.
10] Games use almost all the functions of the phone from the screen, speakers, key press to vibrator. Minimize playing games on the phone if you need your battery.
11] Clean your battery's metal contacts every couple of months with a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol. This keeps the transfer of power from your battery more efficient
12] Always use an original charger for your handset. Using fake chargers could damage the battery or the device.
13] Leaving your battery to charge overnight won't damage it. But no longer than that. The average phone battery charges in 2-3 hours, try to keep the phone charging for that specified time only.
14] USB charging and car charging takes longer than the wall charger and also doesn't fully charge the phone. So always prefer to use a wall charger.
15] If you do not care about WCDMA, then in tools/settings/network ¬switch from DUAL to GSM (applicable in selected phones).

A review of the Benghazi attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya faults "grossly" inadequate security and leadership failures. The Accountability Review Board released its findings late Tuesday night.
U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the Sept. 11 attack.
Former ambassador Thomas Pickering and Adm. Mike Mullen, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, led the review. They studied thousands of documents, cables, videos, and intelligence information and will present their findings Wednesday to the House and Senate Foreign Affairs Committees.
The review blamed woefully inadequate security and over-dependence on Libyan militias for the tragedy.
It stated that "systematic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels within two bureaus of the State Department resulted in a Special Mission security posture that was inadequate for Benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place."
The report also noted that State Department officials in Washington denied repeated requests for more security, stopping short of singling out individuals or finding fault with the U.S. military and concluding that there wasn't enough time for a response.
The board also confirmed that despite initial reports by the Obama administration, no protest took place outside the compound before the attack and that it was, in fact, a terrorist attack.
Administration officials blamed protests over an anti-Islam film. U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice made the same claims in appearances on several TV talk shows in the days following the attack.
The backlash from the White House's initial response led her to withdraw her name from consideration for secretary of state.

- Bull market, bitter legacy for opium farmers
- Narco-state
- Opium has become the Taliban's cash cow, and the beast is fatter than ever. The Taliban offer farmers seed, fertilizer, advance payments, protection from groundbreaking to harvest, and farm gate collection.
Wars come and go in Afghanistan; opium remains. Twelve years after their purported fall from power, the Taliban appear to be thriving — and ready to reap millions in profit from a record opium crop. It's no happy-in-hell illusion; the Taliban brought in approximately $100 million in 2012 from the opium trade, and 2013 looks even greener. Opium has become the Taliban's cash cow, and the beast is fatter than ever.
Opium is currency to cash-parched farmers in Afghanistan. Ingestion, injection, or inhalation — the drug demand is faithful for opium and its derivatives, particularly heroin. The fields of Afghanistan may supply 90 percent of the world's heroin. Poppy acreage is surging — possibly 500,000 acres will be harvested in 2013.
The United States (and the UK as well) has spent millions to encourage Afghan farmers to plant legal crops, and the effort has been an absolute money pit. Cotton and wheat don't compete with poppy — especially as Western combat troops prepare to leave and a legal economy threatens to collapse. From the BBC: "The Afghan government estimates that in 2011, the livelihoods of some 191,500 rural households depended on the growing of illicit drug crops, primarily opium poppy."
Raw opium paste doesn't just bring a higher price than food crops; it also stores far more easily. When the red petals fall before a labor-intensive harvest, a capsule is left behind on the stalk. The capsule, or pod, is gravid with an oozing white paste. The gum-like paste is removed with a scraper tool and stored without difficulty. The paste will be dissolved in boiling water, strained and pressed into bricks of morphine. The entire storage and manufacture process can be done on-site, in the "field." After that, the morphine bricks are shipped to a lab where they'll be chemically altered into heroin.

As the wheels of Afghanistan's opium industry spin, the Taliban is reaping an unprecedented harvest. From Newsweek: "Taliban leaders … are a lot richer than they used to be just a few years ago — and the source of their sudden influx of wealth is no secret in Afghanistan and Pakistan."
Promotion, finance and protection — the Taliban are top-to-bottom at every level of the drug trade. As Ghulam Muhammad Woror, director of narcotics control in Afghanistan's Helmand province, told Newsweek, "Drugs are ultimately providing the money, food, weapons, and suicide bombers to the insurgency and the good life to Taliban leaders…"

Early Calif. was Native American killing field for animalsBreaking News
University of Utah anthropologist Jack Broughton concluded in a paper published this month that California wasn't always a lush Eden before settlers arrived in the 1700s to find an astonishing abundance of wildlife.
Instead, from 2,600 to at least 700 years ago, native people hunted some species to localized extinction and wildlife returned to "fabulous abundances" only after European diseases decimated Indian populations starting in the 1500s.
"Since European discovery, California has been viewed by scholars and scientists, as well as the general public, as a kind of Utopia or a land of milk and honey, a super-rich natural environment," Broughton said.
But his study challenged the "common perception about ancient Native Americans as healthy, happy people living in harmony with the environment. ... Depending on when and where you look back in time, native peoples were either living in harmony with nature or eating their way through a vast array of large-sized, attractive prey species."

Rep. Jenny Horne was on hand to cheer on Yes4Schools and the proposed DD2 facilities needs referendum during Tuesday's kick off event held at Rollings Middle School of the Arts.
More than 100 people, including elected officials, school district staff, and concerned citizens, gathered in an ancient, hot, and stuffy gymnasium for the kickoff of a new grassroots campaign.
Yes4Schools, a citizens group that is actively working to help pass the $179 million school improvement bond referendum for Dorchester School District 2, held one of two kickoff meetings in the gymnasium of Rollings Middle School of the Arts in Summerville.
The rally, hosted by Yes4Schools co-chairs Brian Mitchum, Robby Robbins, and Jan Waring-Woods, was originally slated to be an outdoor event until sudden storms forced a last minute change of venue. Yet the rain hammering on the aged roof of RMSAÆs gym may well have helped hammer home the underlying point Yes4Schools is trying to make.
That point is that the district has grown quickly and dramatically, and that growth has significantly outstripped the resources available, and that the district is in dire need of major facilities upgrades, the co-chairs all reiterated.
One important point co-chair Brian Mitchum pointed out is that this referendum is about addressing facilities needs and capital improvements, not operating budgets.
ōThis is about what they need day-to-day to complete the mission of providing a quality education for our children,ö Mitchum said. ōWe need to do this to give them adequate facilities ¢ and adequate breathing room.ö
ōWe are proud of our school district and we need to show it,ö noted Jan Waring-Woods.
ōAnyone who doubts the need should pick a school and go visit,ö Robby Robbins said.
Summerville Mayor Bill Collins told the group that he is in favor of and will vote for the referendum. On a personal level, his children and grandchildren attended DD2 schools and received a high quality education experience. On a practical level, he noted that an investment in public education is a sound investment in the future on many levels.
ōDorchester District 2 schools are very important to me personally,ö Collins said. ōThey do a great job with very little money. An investment in education is one of the only investments that gives returns for literally generations to come.ö
ōWe have great faculty and administration ¢ and we certainly owe them the courtesy of decent facilities,ö he continued.
Rep. Jenny Horne, whose children currently attend DD2 schools, also noted that she and husband Marc would be voting for the referendum.
ōWe are doing this for Nicholas and Maggie, for our neighborsÆ children and grandchildren,ö Horne said. ōI know you donÆt want to pay more taxes ¢ but this is what we should be doing with tax dollars. When we talk about prioritizing needs, education is definitely a prime function of government.ö
DD2 Superintendent Joe Pye, appearing on the podium accompanied by little Ella Rae Moniz, pre-school daughter of Yes4School volunteer Brian Moniz, thanked the attendees for being there and reiterated the needs of the district. Alleviating classroom sizes, making much needed repairs, additions, and upgrades, and building four new schools in the next five years are all extremely urgent needs, he said.Ā
ōThis is why weÆre doing this,ö he noted, holding Ella Rae in his arms. ōThe children who will be attending in the future deserve as good or better opportunity as those who have gone through or are there now.ö
Mitchum closed the meeting, thanking everyone for attending and encouraging them to get the word out to the public and left the gathering with one final thought.
ōImagine itÆs five years from now,ö he said. ōMore people have moved here and are moving here, the economyÆs thriving again ¢ and there are no schools.ö

Did Bristol Palin get pregnant just to spite her mother, Sarah Palin?
That's what her ex-boyfriend – and the father of her 2½-year-old son Tripp – alleges in his new book Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin's Crosshairs, according to a copy obtained by the Associated Press.
In the memoir, due out Sept. 20, Johnston, 21, says Bristol was angry when she discovered Sarah Palin was expecting a baby. Instead, she felt she should be having a baby and, according to Johnston, told him in March 2008, "let's get pregnant."
Among the other revelations in Johnston's book: precisely when the two became sexually active.
Though Bristol wrote her in own book that she got drunk on wine coolers and lost her virginity to Johnston on a camping trip, he says they were sexually active earlier in their relationship. (They began dating in 2006.)
He also writes that he was "too dumb" to use protection when having sex with Bristol.
Despite claims by the Palin family, Johnston writes that he was present for Tripp's birth, that Sarah Palin wanted to be called Mommy Sarah (not grandma) and that Todd Palin reacted angrily when he learned Bristol was pregnant at 17, telling Johnston he had to quit school and get a job.
Johnston also writes that Sarah Palin wanted to adopt their son Tripp to "avoid a scandal."

Medical implants could get bug-busting coat
BACTERIA looking to make a home on medical implants such as replacement hips are in for a shock.
Researchers at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia have chemically bonded the antibiotic vancomycin to the metal titanium for the first time. They hope it could pave the way for infection-proof implants.
"Our technique puts a bed of antibiotic thorns on the surface of the implant," says biochemist Eric Wickstrom, who led the research (Chemistry and Biology, vol 12, p 1041). The antibiotic is bonded to titanium via silicon-containing silane molecules.
If clinical tests are successful the bacteriocidal implants could be in use within five years, and the medical implications could be huge. Tens of millions of people a year have medical implants, and 6 per cent of these develop life-threatening infections as a result....

Black Wii Bundle Leaked in GameStop Poster
Bundle to include Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, and a MotionPlus accessory.
All signs point to Nintendo introducing a new black Wii console in May, and a poster leak from GameStop all but confirms most of the rumors we've heard. Kotaku reports that the poster (above) teases a black Wii bundle, which includes a black MotionPlus accessory, Wii Sports, and Wii Sports Resort.
This is very similar to the rumors we had previously heard from various retailers. Of course, now we have photographic evidence, so the new color and bundle is almost a certainty. May 9 is the likely date, so if you've been waiting for a sleeker Wii that can sit alongside your PlayStation 3 like a little brother, this is your chance.

An amazing and surprising wine!
by Kendall11295147
I recently tasted this wine at an inn on Block Island, Rhode Island. This inn has been cited for several years by Wine Spectator as having a superior cellar. I am usually a French Cabernet zealot, and don't entertain blends. This was a lesser wine in terms of price, but it outshone the four course gourmet menu. My memory will always be this wine...earthy, rounded, full-bodied. I loved it!
by Galbraith11811808
Delicious within 30 min. after opening. Thanks for the recommendation (and sale) Flemington.

Local permanent make up salons can also fix permanent makeup if you are not happy with how it was previously done. Some local permanent make up salons can even cover scars, lighten unwanted marks, or apply perfectly natural looking beauty marks to the skin.

Although somewhat painful, depending on your pain tolerance, permanent makeup is the best solution for anyone who wants to look great the moment they wake up. By getting a treatment done by your local permanent make up salon, you can even go swimming and do other activities you never would be able to do if you had applied actual makeup to your face. In the first few weeks after your treatment, youll want to keep the area very moisturized, like you would a brand new tattoo. Finding local permanent make up services is as simple as skimming through your local phone book directory or searching the Internet for the closest local permanent make up to your home.

Power & Motoryacht - May 2007 - Megayacht Mania: Westport
Written by Kim Kavin
Evviva is Italian for "something beautiful or special." That's true not just of Orin Edson's new yacht, but of the entire Westport 164 series.
The sun was still rising over western Mexico as I settled into the main saloon onboard the Westport 164 Evviva. It had been an awe-inspiring few steps up the passarelle, knowing that I was making my way onto the largest production motoryacht in the world. "Hi, I'm Orin Edson," the trideck's owner said with a warm smile. Edson, the founder of Bayliner, now owns both Evviva and the yard that launched her. To make sure I understood how this innovative Westport 164 series came to be, before taking me on a walk around his new personal yacht, Edson took me on a stroll down memory lane.
"In the late '80's, I spent two trips to Europe trying to figure out how I was going to buy a big boat," he recalls. "There were lots of good builders. But getting them to build, a fast boat... I came back and had built about 400,000 fiberglass boats [at Bayliner]. To not have a fiberglass boat was going to be hard for me."
Just conceiving a 160-foot composite boat in the early 1990's made some think Edson was That Crazy Guy. But he teamed American naval architect Bill Garden and European stylist Don Starkey with Daryl Wakefield, who was building 100-foot custom composite boats at Admiral Marine in the Pacific Northwest.
"It was a wood mold, not reusable at all," Edson recalls. "Daryl had to stretch his building - and his courage. We didn't even have a TraveLift. We had to get special permission from the fisheries department to raze the beach and lay down a wood plan t get the boat into the water."

BAR HARBOR – Thanks to a familiar face, two students at College of the Atlantic each have won $10,000 for projects they hope will promote peace and cultural understanding.
Michael Keller of Charlottesville, Va., and Simon Lombe, a resident of Sudan whose parents are living in a refugee camp in northern Uganda, are among 100 college students nationwide who have been given funding for their projects by Katherine W. Davis, a seasonal Mount Desert Island resident who has given millions of dollars recently to local organizations, including COA.
The separate plans of Keller and Lombe will land them on either side of the Atlantic as they participate in Davis' 100 Projects for Peace program.
Keller, in recognition of the 400th anniversary of the arrival of European immigrants in Jamestown, Va., intends to document the stories of refugees who have settled in Charlottesville over the past decade. Lombe hopes to establish an apiary at the Ugandan refugee camp to help provide its inhabitants with economic opportunities, a key to promoting peace in the region. An apiary is where bees are raised and cultivated for their honey.
"The projects happen this summer," Donna Gold, COA's director of public relations, said Tuesday.
In a statement, Davis indicated that she wants to promote causes that will help reduce the level of strife and conflict across the globe. She turned 100 last month.
"I want to use my 100th birthday to help young people launch some immediate initiatives that could bring new prospects for peace in the world," Davis said in the release.
The 100 students who will divide the $1 million in funding represent 65 universities and colleges, according to COA officials. The students were selected from 76 higher education institutions in the United States.
Lombe's apiary project is getting help from Alere Refugees Vocational Institute, a school in the refugee camp that has offered him classroom space and land to put the beehives. The honey produced by the bees can be used as a sweetener and a skin-care product but, according to Lombe's grandmother, also brings unity, good luck and happiness to family and community, the release indicated.
Keller's photo-documentation project has been endorsed by Charlottesville mayor David Brown and Charlottesville businessman Toan Nguyen, a former Vietnamese refugee who is president of C'Ville Coffee. Keller's work will be displayed at the coffee shop, a gathering place for many refugees in the area.
Davis, a seasonal resident of nearby Northeast Harbor, and a foundation named after her late husband have given lots of money to Mount Desert Island organizations and to others nationwide. Last year the Shelby Cullom Davis Foundation gave COA a $2.5 million challenge grant for a new residential village planned for its campus and just last week she gave $1 million to Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory, the largest private gift ever for the marine research lab.
According to the online organization mediatransparency.org, other MDI organizations that have received funding from Davis or the Shelby Cullom Davis Foundation include Friends of Acadia, The Jackson Laboratory, Maine Coast Heritage Trust, Abbe Museum, Mount Desert Festival of Chamber Music, Northeast Harbor Neighborhood House, Mount Desert Island Historical Society, Bar Harbor Music Festival, Northeast Harbor Library, Downeast Horizons, Maine Sea Coast Mission, MDI Water Quality Coalition, Mount Desert Island Hospital, and Northeast Harbor Fire Department, among others.
Davis, who has visited Russia 32 times, holds a doctorate in international relations from the University of Geneva and is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations.
Davis' son and daughter-in-law, Shelby M.C. Davis and Gail Davis, fund scholarships at 76 colleges and universities in the United States for graduates of the United World College system's international baccalaureate program. Students eligible for the Davis Peace Prize competition are enrolled at these 76 institutions, which includes COA.

Amazing car!
by Vano from windsor ontario | December 6, 2014
The car is very comfortable, its heated leather seats are very supportive on the back and legs. Power seats make it easy to adjust the seat for any driver. Performance is great, the car has more power under the hood than one would expect and it handles well. The exterior and interior of the car is very elegant, it's beauty on the outside and a beast on the inside. A great value for your money, worth every penny. The car is very reliable. Overall it is a well built car and even though it's old it still performs very well. A very luxurious and smooth car to drive. The car is built to last if well maintained. It's a bit bad on gas and lacks trunk space but that's about the only downside to this car. Everything else is great about it.

Saved my Children's lives
by Alive from Quartz Hill, CA | March 15, 2011
This was the nicest car I ever owned. I only had it for 9 days before I was involved in a severe auto accident. This car saved my life and my children's lives. I was rear-ended on the freeway. The lady that hit me was going 70 mph. The car was totaled out but my entire family walked away from the scene. Now the only problem is finding a replacement. I would definately recomend this car to a friend.

Best car I ever owned!
by ezgoing from South Grafton, MA | March 20, 2009
202K miles and still going strong! This is a fantastic vehicle that has a very good ride and handling balance. It is a joy to drive and has a solid feel. Reliability has been excellent. Heated seats, great Bose stereo and auto climate control are great features. Back seats are extremely comfortable for 2 tight for 3. Trunk is tiny though. Fuel economy in mixed driving is about 23-24. Drives great even in the snowy NE where I live with a good set of all season tires.

Literally the most reliable car I've ever owned
by C Bizzle from Charlotte | December 15, 2007
With after market wheels and sport tires this car will not only handle well, but ride smooth. The engine shows no signs of failure after 144k. Remake of 300zx engine with plenty of power to the rear wheels. Only downfalls... small backseat and a really heavy car, makes it a lot slower than it could be. Otherwise perfect combination of luxury and performance for its time.

Overweight patients with diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance who had moderate glycemic levels prior to starting a short-term workout program achieved better glycemic control than those with higher glycemic levels at baseline, researchers found.
Patients with oral glucose measures less than 13.1 mmol/L and who had a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level less than 6.2% prior to a 12- to 16-week exercise program showed significant improvement in post-exercise 2-hour glucose level (P<0.001) and significant decrease in post-exercise HbA1c (P=0.005), according to Thomas Solomon, PhD, of the Center of Inflammation and Metabolism at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark, and colleagues.
Study participants with elevated oral glucose -- above 13.1 mmol/L -- and elevated HbA1c -- greater than 6.2% -- prior to the exercise intervention saw smaller improvements after training, they wrote online in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Prior research has shown associations between aerobic exercise training and improve glycemic control in patients with diabetes, but variance between patients was large, the authors noted.
They studied whether improvements in glycemic control after a 12- to 16-week aerobic exercise intervention were tied to glycemic control prior to the aerobic training in a population of 105 older, overweight or obese adults with impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes.
Participants received measures of body composition, aerobic fitness via maximal oxygen uptake, HbA1c, fasting glucose, and oral glucose tolerance test scores prior to and following the exercise intervention, while the relationships between the "before" and "after" measures were assessed through linear and nonlinear regression.
Prior to the intervention, participants had a body mass index of 33, were a mean 61 years old, and were mostly comprised of those with impaired glucose tolerance (56 patients) versus diabetes (49 patients).
Following the 3 to 4 months of aerobic training, patients lost a mean 4.6 kg, reduced whole-body adiposity by a mean 1.9%, lowered fasting glucose by a mean 0.35 mmol/L, lowered 2-hour glucose by a mean 0.8 mmol/L, and improved oxygen uptake by a mean 0.23 L/min. Fasting glucose pre-training did not significantly affect changes in glycemic control after the intervention period.
There was a nonlinear trend for pre-training 2-hour oral glucose and exercise-induced change in 2-hour oral glucose (P=0.06), which was significant in those with pre-training oral glucose lower than 13.1 mmol/L, and remained a trend among those with pre-training 2-hour oral glucose greater than 13.1 mmol/L (P=0.07).
In addition, HbA1c had a similar, but significant, nonlinear quadratic relationship with pre- and post-training HbA1c (P=0.02). Those with HbA1c of 6.2% prior to the intervention showed a significant exercise-induced decrease in HbA1c post intervention (P=0.005), while those with HbA1c greater than 6.2% also had a significant improvement in HbA1c after the 12 to 16 weeks of training, though the effect was not as large (P=0.04).
The authors also noted that pre-training HbA1c was "linearly and inversely related to the exercise-induced change in oxygen uptake, such that high pre-training HbA1c level predicted smaller exercise-induced increases" in oxygen uptake (P=0.006).
"Although moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can improve glycemic control, individuals with ambient hyperglycemia are the most likely to be nonresponders," they concluded.
Stephen Hammes, MD, PhD, of the University of Rochester Medical Center, commented that he found the results of the study beneficial, but that additional research should look for the source of the interaction.
"What I think is important is to determine why some people benefit so much from diet and exercise and why others don't," Hammes told MedPage Today in an interview. He added that, "This study suggests that there is a difference, but doesn't explain why that difference is."
The study was funded through the European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes, the National Institutes of Health, and the Clinical and Translational Science Award.
The authors declared no conflicts of interest.

Alcohol cannot be stored in the body so must be 'burnt' first, meaning no, you will not be burning fat whilst you drink. Depending on how low-carb you are and then the types of drinks you binge on, you may be consuming quite a large number of carbs. Alcohol is also a hepatotoxin but I'm sure you are aware of the damage excess and prolonged alcohol consumption can cause.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Joy Ride
After 17 Years of Stand-Up Comedy, Joy Behar Can Now Enjoy The View
Behar has Barbara Walters to thank for her exuberance. The 20/20 über-host created the daily talkfest and two days a week leads the discussions with Meredith "journalist/mom" Vieira, Star "attorney/diva" Jones and Debbie "the young one" Matenopoulos. Walters tapped Behar to fill in for her the other three days, counting on her to punctuate with wry humor the show's celebrity interviews and freewheeling girl-talk sessions about news events. "She's funny, intelligent and well-informed," says Walters, whose program is gaining viewers weekly after a sluggish start. "I chose Joy because we wanted the show to be entertaining." Critics applaud. Behar "generally steals the show," raved USA Today. "They should acknowledge her as the resident Erma Bombeck and make her a daily presence."
Not bad for a late bloomer who dove into show business after nearly dying from an ectopic pregnancy in 1979. "The doctor told me I was almost gone," says Behar, who had been married for 14 years to college professor Joe Behar at the time. "I realized you can just be dead." Empowered by that epiphany, Behar, a Queens College graduate who began teaching junior high school English in 1968, quit to work as a receptionist at Good Morning America, where she hoped to be discovered. She also embraced psychotherapy to overcome performance anxiety. "I'd drive by comedy clubs and get nauseous," says Behar. "I was terrified of the humiliation if I failed."
The therapy paid off, and Behar hit the comedy nightclub circuit in 1980, still answering phones by day. A year later she and Joe Behar divorced. "We were going in different directions," she explains. "I was a dazzling urbanite, and he was Mr. Chips." He moved out of their Queens home, and Behar got custody of their daughter, Eve, now 26 and a ceramic artist. As Behar puts it in the act she still takes onstage a couple of times a month: "I want a man in my life. Not in my house."
In 1983, GMA fired Behar, who wasn't always so nice to callers, turning her into "a single 40-year-old mother with no money." Collecting $135 a week in unemployment, Behar performed stand-up sometimes six times a night, leaving Eve, then a preteen, with Behar's parents, Gino Occhiuto, a truck driver, and Rose, a seamstress, who died in 1992 and 1991, respectively. "She was a good mother, but in the morning I had to do everything," recalls Eve of her teenage years. "I felt bad," says Behar, who is very close to her only child these days. "When you're a comedian, you bite the bullet."
Her bullets hit their marks. "I had my eye on her in the '80s," says comedian Robert Klein. "I thought, 'This one is sharp.' " Good reviews paved the way for her own 1987 Lifetime television variety series, Way Off Broadway, which was canceled after one season. Undeterred, Behar supported herself comfortably for the next decade touring comedy clubs, appearing in bit parts in movies and speaking out on her New York City radio talk show.
As a child growing up in a Brooklyn tenement, Josephine (her grandfather Vincent called her Joy) sang and danced for aunts and uncles who lived in the same building. "There would be all these adoring people, and she'd say, 'Let me do one more song,' " recalls Behar's maternal aunt Julie Carbone, 67, a retired loan clerk. "When someone has that charismatic persona, you always want to be in their company."
Well, almost always. Behar and her steady, Steven Janowitz, 48, maintain separate New York City apartments after 15 years of dating. "I don't see the point of getting married," says Janowitz, a New York City junior high school math teacher. "Joy probably feels even stronger about that than I do." Yep. "I have a gorgeous apartment, then he has to stick his two cents in about what pictures to hang up?" says Behar, laughing. "I like my own place."
As she stares out at the barges drifting on the East River, Behar turns reflective. "I'm not nervous," she says about live TV. "Even though I could bomb, it's something I look forward to. After all, this is my big break."

Week 4 wasn't filled with the most intriguing matchups, nor were there any big upsets. Quite a few highly ranked teams blew out their opponents, but it doesn't necessarily mean there weren't a few close calls.
What ended up being the biggest game of the week occurred Friday night between Mountain West Conference contenders Boise State and Fresno State. The Broncos were looking to keep themselves in BCS bowl contention, but couldn't quite get the job done. They lost 41-40 against a talented Fresno State led by quarterback Derek Carr, who threw for an impressive 460 yards and four touchdowns.
The Bulldogs are now in ranked in the Top 25 and have defeated two quality opponents in Rutgers and Boise State. They could be the mid-major team that crashes the BCS party.
Once again, two weeks later after their big matchup, Notre Dame and Michigan barely held on to defeat their opponents. At least the Fighting Irish were playing a Michigan State squad that had the top defense in the country, Michigan struggled offensively and almost lost to a UConn team that in Week 1 lost to FCS opponent Towson 33-18. Luckily, Brady Hoke's squad scored 17 unanswered points to win 24-21.
The Florida Gators came away with their ninth straight win over Tennessee, but lost quarterback Jeff Driskel for the rest of the season with an ankle injury. Georgia struggled at home against North Texas until pulling away at the end of the third quarter to win 45-21.
Auburn and LSU played in a torrential downpour in Death Valley. Auburn proved they are a better team under new head coach Gus Malzahn already, but LSU showcased how dangerous they could potentially be this season.
The biggest win on Saturday had to be for Mack Brown and his Texas Longhorns. Two blowout losses to BYU and Ole Miss in a row made for a rough few weeks in Austin. A 31-21 win over Kansas State gives them a 1-0 record in Big 12 play and a chance at making a BCS bowl game.
Baylor, Louisville, Miami (FL) and Ohio State all put up 70 points or more on their opponents. The game was so bad between Miami (FL) and Savannah State that they decided to play a 12 minute fourth quarter.
Remember FCS Savannah State has been blown out by multiple FBS teams. Since 2012, the Tigers have been outscored 282-10. On the bright side, they're getting good money out of it.
With all of that said, here are my pick results and my weekly final thought:

Ed Mathews: Persico draws large crowd
Monday's installation of Bishop Lawrence Persico as the tenth bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Erie was impressive. Not only were 200 priests and two dozen bishops in attendance at the ceremony, many of Persico's friends from Greensburg came up for the day. From all reports, Persico was a popular pastor at St. James Catholic Church in New Alexandria, and his parishioners, naturally, are sorry to see him leave, although they are proud of his appointment as bishop. The music at the service was beautiful, and the choirs sang beautifully, including the children's choir. The youngsters were on their best behavior, which isn't easy during a service that lasts three hours. We wish Bishop Persico all the best, and congratulate Bishop Donald Trautman for his years of service to the Catholics in the Erie diocese. ... Edinboro native Celica Westbrook had a star turn on Monday and Tuesday on NBC's "The Voice," one of the most popular shows on TV. Celica, who's 16, is the daughter of longtime Edinboro residents Amy and Steve Westbrook, who were also skilled vocalists. The Westbrooks moved to Franklin, Tenn., seven years ago, but they maintain close ties to family and friends here. Their son, Graham Westbrook, is a student at Mercyhurst University. Christina Aguilera, one of the judges on "The Voice," will serve as Celica's coach. ... No doubt tonight's debate between President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney will be watched by tens of millions of viewers. It is an opportunity for Romney to make up some ground against Obama. Both men are skilled debaters, although Romney has had more practice over the past year. Tonight's debate, the first of three presidential debates, is supposed to focus on the economy. There will also be a debate between Vice President Joe Biden and Paul Ryan. ... The speeches from Iran are frightening, as they always seem to threaten to start a war. The fact that the country is getting closer to producing nuclear weapons puts Israel on alert.
Former Gov. Tom Ridge has been giving lectures at colleges around the country. This past week, he spoke at Carnegie Mellon University. Ridge, 67, runs his own company, Ridge Global, a security and risk-management firm he started in 2007. He served as the first director of Homeland Security. Ridge was appointed in the days following 9/11 by then-President George W. Bush. ... We offer our sympathy to the family of Mrs. Barbara Bracken, 92, who passed away last Thursday. She was the widow of Charles Bracken who served for many years as president of the Maine Bank. ... It was just a question of time until the first book about the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State came out. The book will be written by the first child who was abused by the former football coach. The book, which will be in stores Oct. 23, has been co-written by the victim's mother. ... Speaking of books, Ross Perot, who ran unsuccessfully for president in 1992, announced that he will write his memoirs. Perot, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, is a multibillionaire who is still blamed by many supporters of former President George H. Bush for costing him the election. Their thinking is that Perot pulled votes away from Bush, which helped Bill Clinton win. Bush did not have favorable comments about Perot in an interesting documentary that ran earlier this year on HBO. ... European golfers scored a dramatic, come-from-behind victory on Sunday to prevent the U.S. players from winning the Ryder Cup.
