The White House Is Planning A Major Push On Guns, And One Democratic Senator Is Already Calling It 'Extreme'
Brett LoGiurato
Jan. 6, 2013, 1:40 PM
The White House's task force led by Vice President Joe Biden is considering expansive proposals to tackle the nation's gun violence, something that is already drawing early condemnation from even Democratic lawmakers.
The Washington Post reported Sunday that the group headed by Biden is preparing to go far beyond a simple reinstatement of the expired assault weapons ban:
A working group led by Vice President Biden is seriously considering measures backed by key law enforcement leaders that would require universal background checks for firearm buyers, track the movement and sale of weapons through a national database, strengthen mental health checks, and stiffen penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors, the sources said.
But on Sunday, newly sworn-in Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, a Democrat from North Dakota, called the reported proposals "way in the extreme" and cautioned that they would not pass if brought together in a comprehensive bill.
"Well, I think you need to put everything on the table," Heitkamp said on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."
"But what I hear from the administration and if The Washington Post is to be believed that's way, way in extreme of what I think is necessary or even should be talked about. And it's not going to pass."
It's an especially strong rebuke from the Democrat Heitkamp, who comes from a red-leaning state and earned an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association. The Post reported that the White House plans to bypass trying to earn support for the measure from the NRA, instead turning to businesses like Wal-Mart for support.
On "This Week," Heitkamp said that there should be

This is going to end badly for the gun grabbers.
If they overreach, they won't even have the votes in the senate
Obamugabe will do this, while simultaneously committing some other anti-Constitutional move. We will focus on his hatred for the 2nd Amendment and only find out later the other activity he did that destroyed liberty.
He is calling attention, on purpose, to this move so that we won't see something else coming.
Anybody who doesn't see that coming is blind.
Or at least thats his plan.
""A sixth claim is that the data in the long-gun registry are too valuable to be destroyed. Unfortunately, the many errors and omissions in the registry vitiate its utility. The RCMP testified to the auditor-general that they could not rely on it in court. Recent information shows that many errors remain despite the best efforts of the Canadian Firearms Program.
Immense problems similarly have been reported concerning the accuracy of the South African firearms registry and the now-abandoned New Zealand long-gun registry.
The RCMP has reported error rates between 43% and 90% in firearms applications and registry information. " "
Then there is the non-compliance of the law abiders not to speak of the gang-bangers.
This has never been intended to pass, matter of fact it has be designed to fail.....all to set up conservatives as extreme and so the kenyan can issue multiple executive orders that will eventually declare all guns are illegal......and thus can be confiscated.
They have alredy lost before they even start because the Supreme Court has already ruled that the federal government has no authority to institute a "gun free zone" around schools.
Obama wants to lose in the House. This is only the start with immigration amnesty, more tax hikes, etc. to paint the House as against the will of the people and run for a democrat House 2014 where he can pass his radical agenda.
Maybe Heidi needs to ask herself that.
But they still claim them........
Dictator POS. One person cannot do this to a "free" country. Or whats left of our freedom.
I lean more towards "Lock and load, here they come" - takes me back to earlier days. Different enemy though. Who would have thought my greatest enemy would be my own government?
I don't think the electorate will ever get within a hundred miles of speakerette of the house nancy pelosi. At least not with that weazen old man leading the senate and the messiah still in the white house
I saw a graphic that read something like, 'I saw a movie one time when only the government had guns: Shindler's List.'
"Who would have thought my greatest enemy would be my own government?"
Those among the Founders who wanted "The right of the people to keep and bear arms" in the Bill of Rights.
...would require universal background checks for firearm buyers, track the movement and sale of weapons through a national database, strengthen mental health checks, and stiffen penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors... newly sworn-in Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, a Democrat from North Dakota, called the reported proposals "way in the extreme" and cautioned that they would not pass if brought together in a comprehensive bill.IOW, no committee assignments for her.
It won't be just one person. Obama will be backed by tens of millions of his supporters and the world as a whole.
The scheme is to bring "overwheming" force in the form of business, Walmart, corporations, media and Lefty American outcry against us, to practice indoctrination and propaganda techniques for other items on their communist agenda, coming down the road.
Fundamental change is certainly rolling up our culture, politics, media, thanks to PUBLIC EDUCATION.
Tens of millions? So, I guess they will be heavily outnumbered.
Thomas Jefferson, et. al.
I'd be a lot more worried about this if Biden were't in charge.
He strikes me as being too dumb to find his butt with both hands and the lights on......
"A working group led by Vice President Biden is seriously considering measures backed by key law enforcement leaders that would require universal background checks for firearm buyers, track the movement and sale of weapons through a national database, strengthen mental health checks, and stiffen penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors, the sources said. "
OK...what "key law enforcement leaders"? Holder?
And, just how do you intend to establish and populate a "national database" of firearms?
And, of course stricter penalties for carrying firearms near schools would have avoided the tragedy in CT...
Good to see a dhimmicrap that recognizes this for the tripe that it is. But, we all need to raise our voices, loud and long. Burn up the phone lines to your elected representatives at ALL LEVELS. Tell them to leave the Second Amendment alone, and get the hell out of our gun safes.
One thing to keep in mind, this will only be one of many rounds on this. They may try for a home run on this - for gun control, registration etc - then "settle" for a single or a double. No way, no compromise on our rights, none. We don't give an inch. We don't "have to give them something." So be vigilant, they don't really expect this to fly, they're really after anything they can get in a so-called "compromise."
Here you are on another firearm thread, fretting about conservatives not kneeling to the almighty government.
Your grasp of logistics leaves much to be desired.
Put on your big girl panties, and get conservative, or get gone.
"Why the long-gun registry doesnt work and never did"
The media reports all this as "the bill WILL ban ...this and that" where it should honetly, at most, say "the bill would".
They want to stampede us into hysteria when they know it takes both houses of Congress plus President's auto-pen, then Courts take a whack at it. The same USSCT majority which recently upheld individual right to bear arms should hold.
Meanwhile Dingy Harry has said that no gun bills will come up in Senate. Sure he could change his mind. But he has a long record of being NRA's "bitch". They support and endorse him, we all get madder than a wet het, but he stays bought. Nevada is still a pro-gun state.
True, we cannot count on Boehner for anyting, but I think the NRA has withstood the media blitz over the Sandyhook crisis opportunity for the gun grabbers.
Gabby Giffords and Jim Brady can rail all they want but neither was shot with an assault rifle. Brady was hit with a .22!
Unless I missed something, Mister Reid, who has always seemed like a true weasel's weasel to moi, seems most reluctant to call Mister Obama's push on guns as "extreme" or anything at all negative, n'est ce pas?
"It wont be just one person. Obama will be backed by tens of millions of his supporters and the world as a whole."
Good. Then we'll have them where we want them. Enemies in all directions. That eliminates the concern for the dangers of receiving 'friendly fire' from any quarter.
His supporters are mostly metrosexual wussies that have never served in the military, hunted, or worked in any manly profession. They can stamp their feet and throw a hissy fit, but they can't beat us by force.
Obama's supporters cannot hope to prevail in a dirty war.
The "occupy" movement, where they posted those photos of messages, held in front of their sad little faces, is as rough as they've ever had it.
As for the rest of the world, i double dog dare him to bring foreign troops here to enforce so much as a traffic ticket. NO, i triple dog dare him!
Foreign soldiers doing -any- action against Americans can be shot on sight. I cannot find anything, anywhere, that states the American people must ever tolerate foreign troops arrayed against us, -here-.
Unarmed disaster relief, like handing out water, driving a bulldozer, or flying a rescue helicopter, fine. Training on a base as our friendly guests, like the Luftwaffe flying jets in the desert southwest, perfectly fine.
But conducting law enforcement, COIN, or gun grabbing raids (even in a support role) makes them an instant legitimate target.
In September, 1994, Congress passed an assault-weapons ban. Less than two months later, an historic election took place which returned control of Congress to the Republicans after decades of wandering in the wilderness.
A chief sponsor of the 1994 ban was Senator Dianne Feinstein, who is now leading the effort to pass another similar ban this year.
The most intensely active voter-base organization of the Republican party is the NRA, and crazy Dianne wants to take them on again?!
The Republicans maintained control of Congress until two years after the NRA's goal was achieved — expiration of the 1994 assault-weapons ban without renewal. Having nothing to fight for, the NRA was not active in the 2006 elections, when the Democrats regained Congress. But now that Dianne Feinstein wants to bring them back into the fray, what can Republicans do but encourage her? Please, Senator, go ahead. Make our day.
That's why God created Executive Orders.
It's not so much what you don't know that will get you in trouble. It's what you know that ain't so.
No kidding, the hunting and shooting argument is loosing. It's about defending us from tyrannical government. Right now we need the 2nd amendment more than anything. The lefties know it. Gun laws will never pass the house.
That's golden! I am going to use that one!
Just wonder which GOP will side with Obama on this new Gun Control Facism......you know there will be some. Look at all the liberal PhonyCons starting to support Illegal Alien after the election
Razamataz to divert attention away from the spending crisis.
Also, the real reason to nominate Hagel, to create a diversion from the spending crisis
Great post, Kris.
Is she related to Shirley Temple?
Oh no, no, no, no, no, only Republicans be extreme.
Get ready to look behind the curtain, the a##clown magician is going to throw out the smoke screen aka "gun ban legislation" while he pushes, passes or executive orders something unconstitutional.
Did you think Obama would get Obamacare passed? He did.
Did you think Obama would get Obamacare past the Supreme Court? He did.
Did you think Obama would get re-elected with the sorry state of the economy? He did.
It makes absolutely no difference what has happened historically. It makes absolutely no difference what used to be common knowledge. It makes absolutely no difference what used to be impossible.
With Obama, all bets are off.
We dismiss his efforts and underestimate him at our peril.

text: Hollow Moon Theory mysticaura posted:9/24/2010 4:31:12 AM I read this some where before. I think NASA,not sure. But what I do remember is that they think the moon is hallow and the craters are alien space craft landing sites in the moon it self and that the aliens are wacthing us from there. I also rember reading about how something hit the moon and it made a big bang sound like it was halllow. Was it a satelite? I have to go back and find this. Im sure is was under NASA. The article also said that dust on the moon is from MANY years of space dust and that deep down in the moon is hallow. Then what happens to the moon and tide theory? And all the moon does for earth. Is it man or should I say alien made? Hmmm...tapuout4985 posted:9/24/2010 4:48:27 AM I've heard this theory too. Another part of it is that some of the craters appear to have convex bottoms, like the dust was blown off but the inner shell wasn't damaged. I've never really seen much evidence to support any of it as fact. I think this is one of those conspiracy theories gone way overboard, but anything IS possible.lilfitted13 posted:9/24/2010 3:30:11 PM i believe this theory simply because if you were an alien and you wanted to watch us, the moon would be perfect.tapuout4985 posted:9/25/2010 2:17:05 AM One thing I have to ask is how did they measure the "gong" sound. I've heard this story so many times, but never how it was recorded. Did the lander recorded it, did it produce radio waves, or was it some sort of lunar seismology reading? It's just a curiousity due to not having enough info on the stroy.eastghostcom posted:9/25/2010 11:28:49 PM look up Stewart Swerdlow on youtubetapuout4985 posted:9/26/2010 9:59:34 AM :-) Thanks!

I recently held my 6th annual Great American Bake sale to help end childhood hunger. I am proud to announce that a total of $800 was raised. With the "Share Our Strength" program, that is equivalent to providing 8,000 healthy meals to children in America. Each year, I look forward to reuniting with my loyal customers, as much as meeting new friends.
I would like to take the time to thank my family, friends, neighbors and community members who came to support the cause. A special thanks to Bee-Pic and Gary Kent for publicity efforts. Also, to my little helper, Maria Bastida, who loves to call the clients at La Amistad Adult Care & Activity Center, reminding them to swing by. I'm proud to be her mentor.

Thousands of gallons leak from station
Mark Collier / Staff Photo Barre police and members of the Washington County Sheriff's Department block off North Main Street in front of North End Deli Mart on Wednesday evening as clean-up crews prepare to drill exploratory holes to determine the extent of a gasoline leak that was discovered Tuesday.
BARRE State and city officials say they hope to know by weeks end the extent of the area contaminated by a gasoline spill that is being blamed on a mechanical failure at a North Main Street convenience store.
Up to 3,000 gallons of super unleaded gasoline leaked into the ground at North End Deli Mart over an undefined period of time due to a metal flex hose that apparently failed in one of the gasoline pumps.
A city official said the fuel didnt appear to have made it into the municipal water system or the Stevens Branch of the Winooski River. Health concerns associated with the leak appeared to be minimal, although neighbors have reported gasoline smells in nearby residences over the past three weeks.
During a Wednesday afternoon news conference, David Simendinger, president of Wesco Inc., which owns the convenience store, said the leak was discovered by store employees and reported to state officials Tuesday afternoon sparking what Deputy Fire Chief Joe Aldsworth said was a multi-agency response.
According to Aldsworth, power to the pumps at North End Deli was cut off Tuesday afternoon and officials for several state agencies, two city departments and a private contractor mobilized at the site Wednesday.
With the leak halted, Aldsworth said test borings are being done to try to identify the outer boundaries of contamination, and that answer should be in hand by Friday.
Armed with that information, Aldsworth said, state officials working with a private contractor will determine how best to mitigate the problem. Some soil, he said, could be excavated or aerated and a collection system could be installed to prevent groundwater from carrying contaminants off site.
Though the extent of the contamination remains unclear, Aldsworth said it doesnt appear the gasoline had entered the citys storm sewer system and, by extension, the nearby Stevens Branch. There is no evidence it breached the municipal water system, he added.
However, Aldsworth said some of the spilled fuel has leaked into the citys sanitary sewer system, probably accounting for petroleum-like odors that have been reported by the occupants of nearly a dozen nearby residential properties over the past three weeks.
The city has responded to each of those complaints primarily on Second Street and Fortney Place and tried in vain to find the source of the problem. That search, which involved sewer department personnel, ended early Tuesday afternoon when North End Deli called to report a potential leak due to gasoline that could not be accounted for.
Aldsworth said the leak was confirmed by 2:30 p.m. Gasoline service was immediately and indefinitely suspended, though the convenience store remains open for business.
Christopher Herrick, chief of the Vermont Hazardous Materials Response Team, said no tests at neighboring properties that were done before or after the leak was detected revealed a risk of fire or explosion, and health concerns appeared to be minimal.
The fire department did not find any reason to evacuate these houses, he said.
Dr. William Irwin of the state Health Department essentially concurred with that assessment, suggesting that steps already taken to vent the sewer line should prevent the sort of chronic exposure to petroleum fumes that could pose a health risk.
On Wednesday the city removed manhole covers and installed fans to ventilate the sewage system until a contractor could set up a ventilation system. Most of the gasoline in the system was expected to evaporate.
At the invitation of Mayor Thomas Lauzon, both Irwin and Herrick were scheduled to attend a 7 p.m. meeting in council chambers at City Hall to answer questions from any anxious residents.
I think its imperative that people who have questions and concerns have an opportunity to get answers, Lauzon said, vowing that the city would closely monitor the cleanup efforts.
The leak was at least the third from Wesco in Vermont since 1998, including one last year in Essex.

I've been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found
any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as
you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

I think what you are demonstrating is the importance of personal
contacts. I guess I'd also like to see some kind of structure to
facilitate these, but if person-to-person works in your community,
that's great.
My worry is about those who do fall through the cracks -- who don't
know where to go or where to go next.

A well-known figure around the Bee County Courthouse for many years, Clark had worked with Margie Carter and had served as her deputy before running for the office and being elected.
"I had the privilege of working for Sandra from January 1998 until December 2006," said current District Court Clerk Zenaida Silva.
"She was a pleasure to work for. Sandra loved to stay current with modern technology and was always looking for ways to move the office forward. She loved her job and her county. There was nothing she wouldn't do to help the people in it."
"Sandra was my friend and mentor," Silva said. "We often referred to ourselves as Lucy and Ethel from the 'I Love Lucy' show. There was nothing we couldn't do together."
"I thought a lot of Sandra," said Bill Lazenby. He got to know Clark during his years as a detective with the Beeville Police Department and later as police chief.
"She always treated us police officers with respect," Lazenby said. "I always thought she was a real good person. I never heard a bad thing about her."
Adolfo "Butch" Cardenas knew Clark well during the years he covered district court for the Bee-Picayune during the early 1990s.
"I had the great pleasure of knowing and working with Sandra when she was the district court clerk," Cardenas said.
"Ever the stickler for rules and regulations, she was always quick to point out what was available in the way of public documents and what was not."
"However, amid this stoic professionalism, she was a very pleasant person to know and always had a great attitude that made my job a lot easier with respect to garnering information for my news reports," Cardenas said.
The former reporter said he is sure there is sadness in the district clerk's office and in Beeville.
"But this should also be a time for celebrating the life of the wonderful and caring person Sandra was. Without a doubt, our loss is heaven's gain," Cardenas said.
Gary Kent is a reporter at the Bee-Picayune and can be reached at 343-5220, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Education Stress Relievers
Sort By:
From pencil and computer shaped tension relievers to star shaped designs for "star students" school stress balls are great for advertising any business a part of the education industry or even those that are just trying to target students. Just as businesses may recruit employees, many learning institutions recruit students to enroll at their particular college or university. Similarly recruitment events like industry trade shows where recruiters use branded items, such as school stress balls, to gain attention of event attendees and encourage them to visit their booth. This can prove to be a great way to gain student interest and increase admissions. In today's educational market, students have more choices than ever before. Your institution may offer all the courses and extracurricular activities a potential student is looking for, but so do many others out there. Set yourself apart today!

Music Review: Brilliance of Stravinsky deliveredBy Jim Lowe
Staff Writer | February 18,2013Caroline Whiddon photo
Ronald Braunstein rehearses the ME2/strings at the University of Vermont Recital Hall in Burlington.BURLINGTON — The ME2/strings and their music director, Ronald Braunstein, proved artists of skill and depth Saturday at the University of Vermont Recital Hall, in a brilliant performance of a complex and masterful Stravinsky ballet.
This was the third program in the first season of the ME2/strings, a chamber orchestra made up of 25 professional string players from around the region, created by Braunstein. In Saturday's concert, they went further, technically and musically, than in their previous two programs.
Igor Stravinsky's 1927-1928 "Apollon Musagete" was commissioned by Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge for a contemporary music festival at the Library of Congress. The 10-movement ballet, based on Greek mythology, is a masterpiece of intimate and subtle classicism, the antithesis of the composer's brilliant, raucous and bawdy "Rite of Spring" — though no less moving.
Braunstein led his fine players deftly with precision as well as an innate sense of the work's drama and sensual beauty. Although the work is full of striking, sometimes haunting dissonances, there is an overall sheen of purity and beauty. Braunstein successfully maintained this ethereal quality, at the same time accentuating the inner machinations that drove the drama.
The orchestra's instrumentalists delivered the necessary precision and clarity as well as the work's subtleties and drama. Concertmaster Jane Bearden played the many violin solos effectively and beautifully, often matched by the other principals. This was a magnificent performance of a great masterpiece.
Most familiar, though, was Dvorak's Serenade for Strings, Opus 22. Braunstein and his strings thoroughly enjoyed the overt lyricism of this crowd-pleaser, as well as the Bohemian harmonies that give it its rich beauty. The performance wasn't as refined in its sound quality or precision as the Stravinsky, and there were overwrought moments (such as at the end of the Larghetto), but it was a joyful and rewarding performance.
The concert opened with a charming performance of another popular gem, Respighi's "Ancient Airs and Dances," Suite III ("Italiana"). The playing was spirited, precise and lyrical.
Vermont is fortunate to have a new ensemble of such a high caliber.
The ME2/strings, conducted by Ronald Braunstein, will perform Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik," Tchaikovsky's "Souvenir de Florence" and Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis at 8 p.m. Saturday, May 11, at the University of Vermont Recital Hall in Burlington.

The Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine (JCSM) is published by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and is distributed to more than 9,600 subscribers.
All manuscripts must be submitted electronically. To submit an original manuscript, sleep medicine pearl, board review, editorial, review, special article, book review, case report, debate, or letter to the editor, please go to https://www.rapidreview.com/AASM/CALogon.jsp. Complete instructions for the electronic submission process can be found on this site.
Manuscripts must not be concurrently submitted to any other publication, print or electronic. The AASM is not responsible in the event that any manuscript or any part thereof is lost. Published manuscripts become the permanent property of the AASM and may not be published elsewhere without written permission from the AASM. All accepted manuscripts are subject to manuscript editing for conciseness, clarity, grammar, spelling, and JCSM style.
The following categories of unsolicited manuscripts will be considered.
Original articles are reports of clinical investigations or case series of direct relevance to the clinical practice of sleep medicine. Typically, original articles will contain new data derived from a series of patients or subjects. In general, original articles should not exceed 5,000 words. A structured abstract of no more than 250 words, references, tables, and figures are not included in the 5,000 word limit. References should be limited to no more than 40 citations. Each Original Article now includes a Brief Summary box on the first page which contains two short paragraphs. We ask that you supply the information requested below when you submit your paper. You may add this to your manuscript following the abstract. Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: Two sentences summarizing why this study was done. Study Impact: Two sentences summarizing how this study impacts the field.
These are usually overview articles that bring together important information on a topic of general interest to a clinical sleep medicine practitioner. Authors who have ideas for such articles are advised to contact the editor to ensure that a similar work has not already been submitted. The main text of reviews should not exceed 7,500 words. An abstract of no more than 250 words, references, tables and figures are not included in the 7,500 word limit. This section is not intended to be a forum for the presentation of new data.
Case reports present unique, unusual or important clinical observations of interest to clinical sleep medicine practitioners. Case Reports should not exceed 750 words, including an abstract of no more than 150 words, no more than 6 pertinent references, and no more than one table or one figure. Case Reports should be organized with the following sections: Introduction, Report of Case, Discussion, References and Table/Figure.
The Durable Medical Equipment (DME) section of JCSM will focus on reviewing rules and regulations for prescribing and managing patients utilizing DME. Its main purpose is to educate clinicians in the terminology and appropriate use of DME.
Manuscripts should be 1500 to 2000 words in length, not including the abstract and references. Tables and figures may be used if needed. References should be limited to no more than 25. The outline should include an introduction, description of the rules/regulations/policy, a clinical example to demonstrate how the rule works in an individual patient scenario and conclusions. If applicable, regional or insurer-based differences should be pointed out.
The Emerging Technologies section of JCSM will focus on new tools and techniques of potential utility in the diagnosis and management of any and all sleep disorders. As such, the intent is not to be limited to technology applied to sleep disordered breathing. In that regard, new technologies for the assessment or treatment of insomnias, parasomnias, and diverse other sleep disorders will be considered for the section. The technologies should be already in existence, at least in prototype form (not a hypothetical idea), but may not yet be marketed. Some preliminary evidence of efficacy should be available. If FDA approval (when/if appropriate) has not yet been received, a suitable disclaimer should accompany the article.
Manuscripts should be 1500 to 2000 words in length, not including the abstract and references. Tables and figures are encouraged; the latter in particular may be of great utility in presenting new technologies that involve equipment. References should be limited to no more than 25.
Examples of possible topics include:
The Global Practice of Sleep Medicine section of JCSM is intended to introduce readers to the worldwide scope and practice of sleep medicine. It is hoped that by sharing information about sleep medicine structure and practice in countries around the world, commonalities and barriers are better identified, paving the way for global collaboration.
Manuscripts should be 1500 to 2000 words in length, not including the abstract and references. Use of original surveys or existing nationwide databases to provide a better picture of the status of sleep medicine in a specific country is encouraged. References should be limited to no more than 30.
It is recommended that authors include the following headings in their manuscript:
Introduction: Size of the country, country population and demographics (adult and pediatric census data), healthcare system (single payer, employer-based, etc.), physician to patient ratio, use of general practitioners as gatekeepers.
Sleep Medicine Training: is a formal sleep fellowship a requirement? The number of training programs and fellowship positions available,
Practice and Structure of Sleep Medicine: Including but not limited to the following: the number of sleep physicians practicing in the country, the number of sleep labs available (how many sleep labs per 100,000 population), type of testing available (portable, in lab, both), the role of primary care in testing and prescribing treatment for sleep apnea, treatment of insomnia with medication, the use of cognitive behavioral therapy/presence of trained personnel to do this, country specific sleep apnea prevalence (if that data is available), number of specialized centers engaged in sleep research. Availability of pediatric sleep, surgical, and dental sleep specialists
Barriers to the practice of sleep medicine: Discuss any barriers noted to the practice of sleep medicine. Are there any nationwide advocacy groups for sleep medicine? Are there any government-sponsored research or organizational support/initiatives?
Costs of Sleep Medicine: Is there any data on the costs of practicing sleep medicine or prescribing therapies? Are there certain sections of society that are precluded from obtaining optimal sleep health due to barriers or costs?
These are brief descriptions and discussion of interesting polysomnographic, actigraphic or other laboratory findings, or brief descriptions of a case with significant teaching value. Sleep Pearls should not exceed 500 words in total length including not more than 2 references. No more than one figure can be included.
Brief letters (maximum of 500 words, including references; no tables or figures) will be considered if they include the notation "for publication." A letter must be signed by all of its authors. Case reports should not be submitted as letters, but rather as formal case reports. Letters commenting on an article published in the JCSM must be received within 10 weeks of the article's publication. Letters received after the deadline will not be considered for publication; those accepted will be sent to the authors for reply. Such letters must include the title and author of the article and the month and year of publication. Letters that do not meet these specifications will be returned unreviewed. JCSM will notify authors about the disposition of their letters. All accepted letters will be edited; proofs will not be sent to authors for approval. Reprints are not available.
Books for review may be sent to JCSM Book Editor, 2510 North Frontage Road, Darien, IL 60561. Book reviews are usually solicited by the Editor. Authors interested in reviewing books should communicate directly with him indicating their areas of interest and expertise. In appreciation for their completed reviews, authors may retain the book for their own use. All reviews will be subject to editing. Reprints of reviews are not available.
