Hudson Reclaims First
braves-nation.com where you can talk baseball with almost 350 Braves fans including this game. Tomorrow's game is at 1:10 ET with Chuck James (2-1, 2.25) facing off against Oliver Perez (1-1, 3.72). Hey, at least Ryan Langerhans will be on the bench.This is not the Tim Hudson that pitched so well for years in Oakland. No, this is a better Hudson who improved his record when he gets four or more runs to 99-4 in his career and vaulted the Braves back up into first place in the NL East. Chipper Jones got the Braves started early with a two-run blast on the first offering he saw from Mike Pelfrey, and that is all Hudson would need through his 8 masterful shutout innings (Soriano would need a bit more), allowing only 5 hits, 2 walks, and striking out 3. The best sign for Hudson was his 15 ground outs to only 6 fly ball outs that he got today. He got ahead in the count and everyone was pounding his sinker right into the ground. Hudson's ERA, 0.62, is now only 3 points below Ryan Langerhans' batting average, and after today he has 1 more extra base hit than Langerhans. Even with a 9th inning rally to score three runs off Rafael Soriano, the Braves' offense did enough to bring their record up to 11-5. Brian McCann had a ground-rule RBI double in the third, Andruw scored twice on two wild pitches, and Jeff Francoeur and Craig Wilson took back to back walks with the bases loaded... Yes, I said Jeff Francoeur took a walk and is actually on pace for 71 walks this season. Tim Hudson even got in a nice double right over the third base bag. The Braves' defense also helped out a bit tonight. Kelly Johnson got Tim Hudson out of a jam in the fifth after he loaded the bases with nice sliding stop and flip on a Jose Reyes grounder up the middle to get David Newhan out at second. Johnson also canceled that out a bit with an errant throw in the ninth trying to turn a double play after he got taken out at second base. Hudson also helped himself with the glove as he started a nice double play to get out of the eighth. The Mets played a pretty sloppy game that couldn't help there chances. They have now done that a couple times against the Braves. Jose Reyes made a throwing error in the 7th and the Mets allowed 6 walks in the game including two in a third of an inning by Ambiorix Burgos. That is around 4.5 walks per nine on the year for the Mets staff and that is probably going to catch up with them as they get farther into the year. I'm going to start something new that will hopefully catch on our game recaps. After my predictions in my last post. I am going to add a Kelly-Meter. Tonight, Kelly went 2/4 with one walk and a run scored to bring his average and OBP up to .286 and .412 respectively. An incredible line for a leadoff man. If you haven't already you should head over to

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- General Motors (GM) is making it easier for drivers to put their phones down and keep their eyes on the road.
The automaker is teaming up with both Google's (GOOGL) Android Auto and Apple's (AAPL) CarPlay to make navigating apps much easier.
Philip Abram, GM's chief "infotainment" officer, told TheStreet TV that GM worked with Google and Apple to design a system that allows the driver to be able to talk on a phone without being absorbed by the phone so that he or she could focus on driving.
The system will be available in all 2016 model Chevrolet cars and trucks. The 2016 models will start hitting showrooms in late June.
"It's bigger icons," Abram said. "It's making sure that you can just glance at something. A lot of use of steering wheel controls and voice activation to make sure that those applications that you've always wanted to use in your car, but might have been surreptitiously linked are now safe and available in the vehicle."
Abram said customers crave connectivity. He points to the widespread adoption of GM's remote-link app which allows users to start their car remotely or unlock a car's doors without using keys.
The new smartphone program will allow users to launch navigation, messaging, phone and media apps such as Stitcher and Spotify. Abram's said more car-friendly apps will be made available in the coming months.

As we age the moisture-retaining barrier of the skin, which contains lipids and ceramides, is reduced, leading to poor moisture retention and dry skin. Eventually dry, thinning skin shows itself with a loss of elasticity and increased wrinkling. The results can be an "older than your age" look.
Retinol can help you fight this look, but historically, its stability is poor and it requires special handling. Retinol can still leave the skin dry, and can be irritating to the skin--until now.
Searching through modern technologies, she was able to combine two effective materials to reach her goal. Utilizing Retinol in a time release form, she was able to target its effectiveness by building a reservoir of Retinol on the skin. Additionally, Dr. Jeannette Graf, M.D. Rejuvenation Retinol Skincare possesses enhanced stability as a result of liposome technology. Combining this with a patent pending natural ingredient, made from Rosemary, a powerful "skin recovery complex" was created to help the skin achieve a radiant, youthful appearance.
Daily use will help transform the appearance of aging skin to its youthful beginnings for:
Continued use will help you maintain supple, radiant, and youthful looking skin.

Poland: New consent for direct marketing required due to changes in the Telecommunications Law
Currently, automated calling systems can be used for the purposes of direct marketing only after obtaining the end user's prior consent. In addition, sending unsolicited commercial information through electronic means (e.g. e-mail, SMS, MMS) is possible only after obtaining the prior consent of the consumer.
The amendment will broaden the prior consent requirement to also cover the use
of telecommunication terminal equipment (e.g. cell phones and fax machines) for the purposes
of direct marketing and, at the same time, leaves the regulation of unsolicited commercial information intact.
The new regulation may cause doubts as to the number of separate consents one must obtain before direct marketing. It appears that the most reasonable interpretation would be that the amendment will result in an obligation to obtain an additional prior consent (apart from the consent for sending commercial information by electronic means) not only for direct marketing through automated calling systems (as currently), but for regular telemarketing as well.
The new regulation may also influence the manner in which each of the consent clauses should be formulated.

City council wastes taxpayer money, candidate claims
Saturday, Mar 30, 2013 06:00 am
The first salvo in the race for city council was fired Tuesday, with candidate Ted Durham accusing the current council of wasting money and competing with the private sector.
Durham, a 21-year resident of St. Albert, made the comments at a meeting of the St. Albert�s Taxpayers Association, which responded with applause.
�I watched councillors say they will do something and it seems that every time we have (a new) council we get let down,� he told the 40-odd people in attendance.
�We have high taxes and I think with what our city has proposed, what council has proposed is unsustainable, and if it is sustainable it will drive many people out of town.�
Durham said residents could expect a tax increase of about eight per cent (including utilities) in 2014, based on numbers proposed by council this year.
If elected to council, he said his first motion would be to make council take control of its budget and work with available funds.
Expenditures such as the Capital Partnership Fund, the Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan and the expansion of the Servus Credit Union Place will make the city unsustainable, he said.
St. Albert was not only running in danger of losing young people and seniors because of high property taxes, it was also going to lose businesses.
�We are going to take (Servus Place) and we will put $29 million into it and then we will take people away from the other health clubs, private businesses in this town that pay taxes,� he said.
�We are a city that is competing with the private sector. And then we have an economic development committee that says �hey, come out to St. Albert and open your business.��
Durham added the Alberta government would not aid the city in funding projects such as the LRT, with only 4,000 people using public transit now.
Instead the city should take the $500,000 set aside for the LRT study and make existing transit in St. Albert more accessible.
Durham said he is running for council because he is a sensible person and he wants to represent the people.
�I am running because we need to turn the tide of council and we need other people to step up that are accessible people, that will turn the tide and be responsible with your money,� he said.
�I don�t want to represent any businessman, any outside interest. I represent you.�

HESED is a non-profit organization committed to fight poverty and alleviate the lives of the disadvantaged through a wide range of activities and projects. They are composed of private individuals – volunteers, sponsors and donors who believe that poverty should stop now. They push for a world that provides equal opportunities among the youth which we believe can be done through sports, education and culture.
More than creating a logo to identify HESED as a traditional sports brand, it is important to highlight the humanitarian cause, HESED is a non-profit organization which fights poverty using sports and culture by doing humanitarian and social actions around the world. The word HESED is totally new for us, but since it is the brand name, we must have a clear understanding of its meaning. HESED is a Hebrew word that means loving kindness and loyalty, which are perfect adjectives to identify the brand mission and vision. HELP PEOPLE.
As was mentioned by the clients, their competitors are Adidas, Reebok, Nike and other sportswear brands, but an element that makes the different from these commercial brands is that HESED will be using the entire profit to fight poverty around the world, reason why we must include in our research some references from other organization with a similar mission. If we observe these logos, we can identify two groups, on top we have some sports brands suggested by the client and at the bottom we have some well-known humanitarian organizations, if we see the styles are clearly different, while the sports brands use lines with movements and sharp traces, the other group logos use elements related with their mission; except one, Bennetton, this is not exactly a sports brand, but it has a strong image in the fashion industry and its campaigns are usually linked with humanitarian content, which are common factors with HEDSED.
Here we have some random sketches that I have created to experiment possible shapes and forms to create the logo.
HELPING PEOPLE, these two words define the HESED mission as a non-profit organization, but it is important to understand that work against poverty takes more than good intentions and a good heart, and this is what I'm representing in this logo, A strong and bold heart helping poor people around the world.
We understand this is not a traditional graphic representation of a heart, make it obvious could lead us to a weak concept and become one of the hundreds companies using a heart as a logo. Another important aspect is the simplicity and connection with the brand name, if we see the construction process at the left, after selecting the right typography, after couple movements we have and strong and solid concept.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of FedEx Corp. (FDX) are up 3.70% to $145.50 in pre-market trading on Wednesday after reporting earnings of $2.46 per diluted share for the fourth quarter ended May 31, versus $2.13 per diluted share in the same period a year ago.
The average estimate of analysts surveyed by Thompson Reuters was $2.36.
Revenue rose to $11.8 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter compared with $11.4 billion a year ago, beating the consensus analyst estimate of $11.66 billion.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
Looking forward, FedEx projects fiscal 2015 earnings in the range of $8.50 to $9.00 per diluted share versus the average analyst estimate of $8.76 in the period.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates FEDEX CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of A-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate FEDEX CORP (FDX) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, solid stock price performance, growth in earnings per share and increase in net income. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity."

|Kyokan Jigoku
|Area of Effect
|Known Users
|Ichijou Masaki
|Related Spells
Kyokan Jigoku (叫喚地獄) is a Heat Magic that relies on the oscillation of fluid molecules to increase fluid temperature of any living thing inside the area set by the user. Unrelated to physical obstacles, this is a power that devours covers in order to alter the phenomena, but requires a time of 30 seconds to a minute in order to activate.
The initial change is gradual and the targets will only feel a slight increase in body heat. However, this quickly turns into a burning hot pain that leads the victim to roll around on the ground. After thirty seconds, their eyes turn murky and their living body is rendered into a corpse. [1]
Ichijou Masaki used this magic after he joined the Volunteer Army of the Magic Association (Branch Office) during the fight against terrorist (during the Thesis Competition) in the terrorist attack in China Street.
Advantages & Disadvantages
Compared to 'Rupture' which can instantaneously evaporate liquids, this magic requires time (30 seconds to a full minute) to increase fluid temperature. It can be described as an inferior version Rupture, since this magic sacrifices sheer firepower in order to expand the range from "target object" to a "wide area".
"Kyokan Jigoku" is a magic that directly affects the human body within the targeted area. Thus, it is very difficult to affect Magicians who have applied Data Fortification to themselves. This also means that Magicians are the only ones who can survive the execution site. [1]

Hy Smokers,

Hy Smokers,
I want to smoke a fresh ham (He was slaughtered 2 days go) uncured, on my PBS. Who has done this? I don't want "BBQ", but smoked ham. All tips, tricks and lessons learned appreciated!
Standard smoke chamber temp of 225* will suffice, and cook to an internal temp of 145* minimum. 145* being the low end...you may want to go closer to 155-160*, depending on your preferences. Without curing you won't get a cured ham taste or texture, but you should not cold smoke...that's not safe. For a non-Bbq flavor, do not use dry rub...toss it in naked...at most just rub with salt. Also, be sure the surface is nice and dry before hitting the smoke (if untreated), but if rubbed with salt it will be moist due to the salt drawing moisture from the meat. You may wish to roll with the KISS method for best presentation (no salt). If skin-on you will get less smoke flavor to the meat under the skin, and less formation of bark on the surface...personal preference as to what you want more. If you want to glaze it, try straight maple syrup or honey...start glazing when I/T is about 30-40* below your desired finished temp, or start the glaze early, but remember that every time you open the cooker you lose heat and add cooking time. The earlier you start glazing the more the glaze will caramelize, and it could scorch the sugars in your glaze, especially if you experience high temp spikes regularly. I tend to stay away from sugars on long smokes to avoid scorching, and if I use them at all I don't apply until late in the smoke/cooking.
Baseline time is around 1hr/lb to reach med-rare (150*) @ 225* smoke chamber temp...your time will likely vary...depends on cooker and a slew of other variables. Probe for temp after 6-8 hours if you like...don't probe too early, as you want the surface meat to become pasteurized before sticking anything in there...an hour is sufficient.
Fresh hams can be a great center piece for a meal. Season to taste when serving. Don't forget to rest the ham before slicing (minimum 5min/lb...a bit longer for higher internal finished temps)...your meat will thank you for it.
BTW, if you can catch the drippings while smoking for making a pork gravy...OH, BABY!!!

Welcome to Riverside's home page. As medical director of the facility, Dr. Frank Scaccia is a uniquely qualified Dual Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon and Otolaryngologist who specializes in cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery, rhinoplasty, facelift and treatment of sinus/nasal disorders. After a unanimous vote by his peers, Dr. Scaccia was appointed for 2012 as the Chairman and Section Chief for the departments of Ear, Nose and Throat, and Head & Neck Surgery at Meridian Health's Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank, NJ. Riverview is one of the busiest and most respected hospitals in the region being a 5 time winner of The J.D. Power and Associates Award. His list of honors in plastic surgery includes the Jack Anderson Award which he won in 1995 after receiving the highest score in the United States on the certifying exam given by the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. In addition, his surgical abilities have been featured in Time, Newsweek, Channel 7 "Eyewitness News," and most recently this past June on the "Anderson Cooper Show" where a TV personality was commenting to Mr. Cooper how much she likes her new nose that Dr. Scaccia operated on for her and that he is an "amazing doctor." He has also contributed to the medical literature with publications in textbook and journals. Dr. Scaccia was one of the first to publish in a textbook a technique to perform simultaneous rhinoplasty and sinus surgery. Follow this link for a copy of this interesting book chapter.
MM More recently, Dr. Scaccia has been named as one of New Jersey's leading cosmetic surgeons in a special article on "Top Beauty Docs" by magazine in the February 2006 through 2009 editions. Furthermore, he was cited as one of only seven cosmetic surgeons in New Jersey that was specifically recognized for his rhinoplasty nose skills. The criteria for selection of this honor was based on Castle Connolly's physician lead research team who uses a vigorous screening process to survey physicians and administrators at leading hospitals for recommendations of highly skilled, exceptional doctors in the field of cosmetic plastic surgery. In addition Dr. Scaccia has also earned the prestigious recognition of being listed in the 2006 to 2010 editions of "The Guide to America's Top Physicians," the 2006 through 2013 editions of "Top Doctors: New York Metro Area," the 2011 listing in "US News &World Report" of Top Doctors and 2012 edition of Top Doctors: The-Star-Ledger's Inside Jersey, the Marquis' 2007 through 2012 editions of "Who'sWho in America" and most recently, has been selected for inclusion in both the 2010 and 2012 editions of "Who'sWho in Medicine and Healthcare," and the 2011 through 2012 edition of "Who'sWho in the World." Finally, Dr Scaccia has the added distinction of being included in the 2013 list of "Top Cosmetic Doctors" in the nation by Castle Connelly Medical Ltd.
MM His new office is located in the historic town of Red Bank allowing convenient access from all northern and central New Jersey sites and the New York City metropolitan area. The plastic surgery NJ and sinus center NJ includes it's own federally approved and accredited ambulatory outpatient surgical suite built to hospital safety standards and is one of the first in Monmouth County to utilize Brain Lab's Image Guided Navigational Sinus System allowing for state-of-the-art endoscopic sinus surgery.
MMRiverside has also been awarded accreditation by JCAHO (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) the nation's leading evaluator among hospitals and other healthcare groups for quality care and patient safety. The center underwent a thorough onsite evaluation against nearly 150 standards which demonstrates our mission to provide the highest level of care possible. Your safety, comfort and privacy are our top priorities. Procedures can be performed under various levels of anesthesia (including general and twilight sleep) and will be administered by only board certified physician anesthesiologists. You will find that Dr. Scaccia's commitment to safety and excellence is exemplified throughout this web site. One benchmark is the fact that in his 20 years (residency training and private practice) as a physician (which includes thousands of surgical procedures) no medical malpractice judgments or even settlements have ever been brought against him.
MMSome of the facial plastic surgery procedures performed at the center include facelift, rhytidectomy, mini facelift, midface lift, s-lift, platelet gel facelift, weekend neck lift, eyelid rejuvenation, blepharoplasty, eyebrow lift, forehead lift, lip enhancement/rejuvenation, chin/cheek implants, liposuction, snoring and sleep apnea correction, female nasal sculpturing, rhinoplasty, male nasal sculpturing, rhinoplasty, Asian nasal surgery, Afro-American rhinoplasty, Ethnic rhinoplasty, revision/redo nasal surgery and sinus surgery.
MMBotox injections, laser surgery for tattoos, moles, pigment, spider veins, wrinkles, skin resurfacing, hair removal and scars are also available. Other plastic surgery procedures performed include ear surgery (otoplasty), split earlobe repair, AlloDerm implants, sclerotherapy and chemical peels. Gentlewaves LED Photomodulation is a new technology that we are now using to reverse photoaging and potentially speeds healing after surgery.

Obstructive sleep apnea Red Bank NJ 07701 (OSA) (or apnoea) is the most common type of sleep apnea and is caused by obstruction of theupper airway. It is characterized by repetitive pauses in breathing during sleep, despite the effort to breathe, and is usually associated with a reduction in blood oxygen saturation. These pauses in breathing, called "apneas" (literally, "without breath"), typically last 20 to 40 seconds.
The individual with OSA is rarely aware of having difficulty breathing, even upon awakening. It is recognized as a problem by others witnessing the individual during episodes or is suspected because of its effects on the body (sequelae). OSA is commonly accompanied with snoring. Some use the term obstructive sleep apnea syndrome to refer to OSA which is associated with symptoms during the daytime.:226 Symptoms may be present for years or even decades without identification, during which time the individual may become conditioned to the daytime sleepiness and fatigue associated with significant levels of sleep disturbance. Individuals who generally sleep alone are often unaware of the condition, without a regular bed-partner to notice and make them aware of their symptoms. Obstructive sleep apnea Red Bank NJ 07701.
As the muscle tone of the body ordinarily relaxes during sleep, and the airway at the throat is composed of walls of soft tissue, which can collapse, it is not surprising that breathing can be obstructed during sleep. Although a very minor degree of OSA is considered to be within the bounds of normal sleep, and many individuals experience episodes of OSA at some point in life, a small percentage of people have chronic, severe OSA.
Many people experience episodes of OSA for only a short period. This can be the result of an upper respiratory infection that causes nasal congestion, along with swelling of the throat, or tonsillitis that temporarily produces very enlarged tonsils. The Epstein-Barr virus, for example, is known to be able to dramatically increase the size of lymphoid tissue during acute infection, and OSA is fairly common in acute cases of severe infectious mononucleosis. Temporary spells of OSA syndrome may also occur in individuals who are under the influence of a drug (such as alcohol) that may relax their body tone excessively and interfere with normal arousal from sleep mechanisms. Obstructive sleep apnea Red Bank NJ 07701.
Common signs of OSA Obstructive sleep apnea Red Bank NJ 07701. include unexplained daytime sleepiness, restless sleep, and loud snoring (with periods of silence followed by gasps). Less common symptoms are morning headaches; insomnia; trouble concentrating; mood changes such as irritability, anxiety and depression; forgetfulness; increased heart rate and/or blood pressure; decreased sex drive; unexplained weight gain; increased urination and/or nocturia; frequent heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease; and heavy night sweats.
In adults, the most typical individual with OSA syndrome suffers from obesity, with particular heaviness at the face and neck. Obesity is not always present with OSA; in fact, a significant number of adults with normal body mass indices (BMIs) have decreased muscle tone causing airway collapse and sleep apnea. The cause of this is not well understood. The hallmark symptom of OSA syndrome in adults is excessive daytime sleepiness. Typically, an adult or adolescent with severe long-standing OSA will fall asleep for very brief periods in the course of usual daytime activities if given any opportunity to sit or rest. This behavior may be quite dramatic, sometimes occurring during conversations with others at social gatherings.
The hypoxia (absence of oxygen supply) related to OSA may cause changes in the neurons of the hippocampus and the right frontal cortex. Research using neuro-imaging revealed evidence of hippocampal atrophy in people suffering from OSA. They found that in more than 25% of the OSA cases, this problem results in irreversible problems in mentally manipulating non-verbal information and in executive functions and working memory, despite years of optimal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. Obstructive sleep apnea Red Bank NJ 07701.
Diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea is significantly more common among people in relationships, who are alerted to their condition by being informed by their sleeping partner, since individuals with obstructive sleep apnea are often unaware of the condition. There is stigma associated with loud snoring, and it is not considered a feminine trait. Consequently, females are less likely to be told by their partners that they snore, or to admit it to themselves or doctors. Furthermore, CPAP is also perceived negatively by females, and less likely to be utilized to its full extent in this group.
Although this so-called "hypersomnolence" (excessive sleepiness) may also occur in children, it is not at all typical of young children with sleep apnea. Toddlers and young children with severe OSA instead ordinarily behave as if "over-tired" or "hyperactive." Adults and children with very severe OSA also differ in typical body habitus. Adults are generally heavy, with particularly short and heavy necks. Young children, on the other hand, are generally not only thin, but may have "failure to thrive", where growth is reduced. Poor growth occurs for two reasons: the work of breathing is intense enough that calories are burned at high rates even at rest, and the nose and throat are so obstructed that eating is both tasteless and physically uncomfortable. OSA in children, unlike adults, is often caused by obstructive tonsils and adenoids and may sometimes be cured with tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. Obstructive sleep apnea Red Bank NJ 07701.
This problem can also be caused by excessive weight in children. In this case, the symptoms are more like the symptoms adults feel: restlessness, exhaustion, etc.
Children with OSA may experience learning and memory deficits and OSA has also been linked to lowered childhood IQ scores.
Old age is often accompanied by muscular and neurological loss of muscle tone of the upper airway. Decreased muscle tone is also temporarily caused by chemical depressants; alcoholic drinks and sedative medications being the most common. Permanent premature muscular tonal loss in the upper airway may be precipitated bytraumatic brain injury, neuromuscular disorders, or poor adherence to chemical and or speech-therapy treatments.
Individuals with decreased muscle tone, increased soft tissue around the airway, and structural features that give rise to a narrowed airway are at high risk for OSA. Men, in which the anatomy is typified by increased mass in the torso and neck, are at increased risk of developing sleep apnea, especially through middle age and later. Women suffer typically less frequently and to a lesser degree than do men, owing partially to physiology, but possibly also to differential levels of progesterone. Prevalence in post-menopausal women approaches that of men in the same age range. Women are at greater risk for developing OSA during pregnancy. Obstructive sleep apnea Red Bank NJ 07701.
OSA also appears to have a genetic component; those with a family history of it are more likely to develop it themselves. Lifestyle factors such as smoking may also increase the chances of developing OSA as the chemical irritants in smoke tend to inflame the soft tissue of the upper airway and promote fluid retention, both of which can result in narrowing of the upper airway. An individual may also experience or exacerbate OSA with the consumption of alcohol, sedatives, or any other medication that increases sleepiness as most of these drugs are also muscle relaxants.
OSA and recurrent tonsillitis (RT) are fundamentally different in their pathogenesis and outcome. Recurrent tonsillitis refers to repeated tonsil infections. Multiple repeated tonsil infections can spread to structures around the mouth resulting in severe infections and/or airway obstruction. Obstructive sleep apnea Red Bank NJ 07701.
Most cases of OSA are believed to be caused by:
Decreased muscle tone can be caused by drugs or alcohol, or it can be caused by neurological problems or other disorders. Some people have more than one of these issues. There is also a theory that long-term snoring might induce local nerve lesions in the pharynx in the same way as long-term exposure to vibration might cause nerve lesions in other parts of the body. Snoring is a vibration of the soft tissues of the upper airways, and studies have shown electrophysiological findings in the nerves and muscles of the pharynx indicating local nerve lesions. Obstructive sleep apnea Red Bank NJ 07701.
Surgical treatments to modify airway anatomy, known as sleep surgery, are varied and must be tailored to the specific airway obstruction needs of a patient. Surgery is not considered a front line treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, as prospective, randomized, comparative clinical evidence against current front line treatments is lacking. For those obstructive sleep apnea sufferers unable or unwilling to comply with front line treatment, a properly selected surgical intervention will be the result of considering an individual's specific anatomy and physiology, personal preference and disease severity. There is little randomized clinical trial evidence for all types of sleep surgery.
There are a number of different operations that may be performed including:
In the morbidly obese, a major loss of weight (such as what occurs after bariatric surgery) can sometimes cure the condition.
OSA in children is sometimes due to chronically enlarged tonsils and adenoids. Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy is curative. The operation may be far from trivial, especially in the worst apnea cases, in which growth is retarded and abnormalities of the right heart may have developed. Even in these extreme cases, the surgery tends to cure not only the apnea and upper airway obstruction, but allows normal subsequent growth and development. Once the high end-expiratory pressures are relieved, the cardiovascular complications reverse themselves. The postoperative period in these children requires special precautions (see "Surgery and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome" below). Obstructive sleep apnea Red Bank NJ 07701.

DishTV and gaming service provider Visiware have jointly launched Minikids TV, a fun games channel for pre-schoolers, where the games are navigated by animated characters that help kids not only enjoy themselves but also learn to master their various skills at the same time.
The games on Minikids TV help kids identify colours, match pictures, solve puzzles, spot the differences and much more. The initial four edutainment games have been designed to develop creativity, observation, audio skills and visual memory of kids starting as young as two years.
Commenting on the launch, Arun Kumar Kapoor, CEO, DishTV, said, "Our endeavour at DishTV is to provide the best in-home entertainment. Adding education is yet another dimension to enhance our already robust gaming offering. The games are interactive and help hone the various skills that are very important for the overall development of a kid's personality. These games will arm even toddlers and pre-schoolers to prepare for today's hugely competitive scenario. For parents, they can relax in the knowledge that their children are not idling their time but indulging in an exercise that is a mind-booster."
Frederic Fellague, Marketing Director, Visiware, said, "We are delighted to launch our Minikids TV offering on DishTV as a unique value-added edutainment games service for pre-schoolers."
Minikids TV is already available on Bell Express Vu in Canada, SKY TV in New Zealand and StarHub in Singapore. Fellague said, "We are very proud to launch in India with DishTV as their pioneering, innovative spirit is completely in sync with ours. This is a time when kids are a high growth market and kids' products are a force to reckon with. With the burgeoning base of DTH subscribers in India, we are sure Minikids TV will contribute to the growth path that DishTV has carved for itself."
MiniKids TV adds another dimension to the existing DishTV gaming portal, which already offers games spanning various genres like mind, action, arcade and cards for all age groups, through its association with Playjam, another DTH gaming player.

Being part of a European Union-wide regulatory framework gives UK bioscience firms easy access to a huge market, but sometimes brings with it excessive regulation, costs and overly conservative rules against the use of new science, particularly genetically modified organisms, a report by MPs has found.
EU Regulation of the Life Sciences, produced by the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee and released today, paints a picture of a system that is attractive to businesses but sometimes frustrating for ministers and scientists.
Under EU rules, life sciences research and the approval of new treatments is harmonised across the union in a single regulatory framework.
Representatives of the biomedical industry said that being part of this system made it more attractive for companies to invest in the UK.
Steve Bates, chief executive of the BioIndustry Association, told the inquiry that "you can see the benefits from working in a harmonised scheme that gives you access to a very large market – 27 per cent of the global market rather than 3 per cent of the market if it was the UK alone".
In a similar vein, evidence from the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) said that belonging to the harmonised framework "plays an important part in the UK's attractiveness for inward investment and research by the life sciences industry".
But the report also notes that these EU-wide rules had sometimes led to excessive regulation, with the Wellcome Trust identifying an "increased burden on academic researchers and a drop in clinical trials conducted in the UK and the EU".
However, the AMRC argued that this was because the UK had implemented the rules in a more "stringent" way than other EU states.
There were also concerns about the cost of complying with the EU framework. Evidence from the Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult Centre said that the EU's centralised system "can be an extremely costly (financial and resource) and lengthy process".
The committee accused the EU of having "wilfully misused" the precautionary principal – a rule that when there is no clear scientific consensus on the environmental impact of a new technology, it should be avoided – to block the use of new scientific advances, particularly genetically modified organisms.
It heard from the life sciences minister, George Freeman, who said that the EU had not approved the commercialisation of a blight-resistant GM potato "despite the absence of any scientific evidence of harm to human health or biodiversity".
The report backs Mr Freeman's call for "an enlightened regulatory system on the side of innovation" and urges member states to adopt a "far more scientifically robust application of the precautionary principal".

LocationTokyo, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Architect in ChargeJo Nagasaka
DesignerIzumi Okayasu
Area188.2 sqm
Project Year2010
From the architect. We designed an office for MR_DESIGN, as known as a graphic designer Kenjiro Sano. The interior space is defined by the layout of the furniture, which has been meticulously designed. This enables the optimum use of the spacious interior, as it does not need partitions.
Even in the meeting space, where partitions are usually required, we have established a free-flowing space by the use of umbrellas. These are commonly used as light reflectors, but they also function as sonic-reflection collectors that enable people to have conversations without partitions.
This lighting system was designed for the editing of graphics in professional studios, its light-diffusion effect preventing shadows being cast onto the top of the table. As a further iconic element of the office, we have designed slopes connecting the interior spaces.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My mother passed away last year . The funeral home has posted her obituary on Face book like an advertisement . I personally do not like this and the funeral home did not ask for permission from the family . I know that it is a big deal if some company uses a celebrity likeness without approval . I appreciate your help in this matter . Respectfully , Dennis
Depending on how the funeral home is using your late mother's obituary (e.g., as an advertisement or merely as an example of its past work), you may or may not have grounds for initiating legal action. Keep in mind that if the obituary was publicly available on one or more websites, it is generally within the public domain (at least the pertinent information contained therein), and therefore, generally not subject to some type of copyright. If you believe there is a sufficient basis for which to seek the removal of it from that Facebook page, you may want to hire an attorney to draft a cease and desist letter, but other than that, there is likely nothing more that could be done, absent a showing that you and/or your family has/have actually suffered some type of cognizable damages beyond simply being annoyed or somewhat distressed. Good luck.Ask a similar question
It's tacky and descicable, but probably not illegal.
Contact Facebook. They may remove it. Also call your local newspaper and TV station's consumer reporters. I suspect they'll jump on this. The negative publicity for this sleazy funeral director may pressure him.

Perhaps by virtue of their intended market (young, casual, somewhat carefree), contemporary bags at achievable price points tend to be…slouchy. They match the people who the brands assume will buy the bags and use them in their personal time, but what about a young woman who has, you know, a job? Like a real job with an office? Or, what of a young woman who simply has a more classic and sophisticated personal style?
Well, that's where the Rachel Zoe Nico Messenger Bag comes in. The $525 price tag isn't low, objectively, but it is a fair price level for a structure, neutral, professional-looking leather bag that nearly anyone would be well-advised to take to a job interview. Not bad, Ms. Zoe.
The nice thing about this bag, of course, is that in addition to its ladylike top handle, the removable crossbody strap lets it be a little more casual on weekends or a little more functional when you have other things to carry. The light interior lining will make things easy to find once they're inside, and the very modern hardware keep it from looking like a bag your mom carried when she was your age. In short, if you need a new work bag right now and you have a medium-sized budget, this bag would make a great pick no matter your age. Buy through Neiman Marcus for $525.
P.S. Please consider supporting our small, bag-loving team by clicking our links before shopping or checking out at your favorite online retailers like Amazon, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, or any of the listed partners on our shop page. We truly appreciate your support!

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
There is an endless discussion in the development community about whether databases should include declared foreign key constraints or not.
As a consultant, I regularly visit a wide variety of client sites. Many of these have applications designed without constraints. When I ask why there are no constraints, the response is invariably one of the following:
Most of the sites that I work with have sizeable databases. This discussion is important in those situations.
The app ensures that it's right
In most enterprises, most large databases end up being used by more than one single application, and often each application will be made up of many sub-applications or modules. That means that every place that accesses the data needs to apply the same rules. (The same issue applies to other forms of constraints as well).
Worse, the databases often end up being accessed by applications from different authors, and often with different technology stacks.
ETL processes are often used to move data into the databases or to update that data.
Even worse, in real production scenarios, data-fixes often get applied directly to the database.
A view of the world that says that it will be ok because everything goes through a single application is a very narrow view of the world.
They don't work well with our application development
What this really boils down to in most cases is that the developers didn't want to work out the order for updates and it's just easier for them without constraints as they can update any table they want, in any order.
That means that the data is periodically in invalid states and (hopefully) eventually consistent. But it also means that the data has many interim states that are actually invalid states. What happens with concurrent access at that point? What happens to a reporting application that finds invoices for customers that don't exist?
It would be helpful if SQL Server supported deferred constraint checking but today it doesn't. I've been formally asking them for it for over 10 years: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/124728/option-to-defer-foreign-key-constraint-checking-until-transaction-commit
I still think it's one of the most important enhancements that could be made to SQL Server from a development point of view.
They are too slow
So often I'm told "we can't do it because it would be too slow". Yet almost every time I ask if they've actually tested it, I'm told "no".
The reality is usually that someone's brother's cousin's friend read it somewhere on the Internet so they decided it would be a problem.
Whenever I really test it, I find very little impact as long as appropriate indexing is in place, and sensible options are chosen when bulk importing data.
I do occasionally find specific constraints where I decide to disable them but they are few and far between. And even then, I like to see the constraint still be in place (so it can be discovered by tools, etc. ) but just not checked. It certainly never applies to all constraints in a database.
What's a foreign key constraint?
Sadly this is also a common question, fortunately mostly only on smaller databases and applications. Some developers really just don't understand the issue but this is not most developers.
Bottom Line
When I do a detailed check on a system that has run without constraints for quite a while, I almost always find data integrity issues.
When I show the integrity issues to the customer, they look surprised then say something like "ah, that's right, we had that bug a few weeks back". Pretty much every time, there are some issues somewhere.
That's ok if you're building a toy application; not ok if you're building a large financial application.
At the very least, sites that decide not to have constraints should have a process in place that periodically checks data integrity. Most sites that don't have constraints don't do this either.
It's important to find issues as soon as they occur. Finding issues well after they have been created always makes them much harder to fix. At least with constraints, you get instant feedback that something's wrong. If you have a bug in your ETL process that is messing up your data in some subtle way, you don't want to find that out several weeks later after other processing has occurred on that data.
I like to see constraints in place until it's proven that a particular constraint can't be in place for a performance reason. Then, I like to see it (and only it) disabled rather than removed. A bonus is that it can usually still be discovered by tools.

This is part of the long-running debate (feud) regarding whether business rules should be included in the database. Constraints are business rules, essentially.
The debate goes away (or should) when one differentiates between data-oriented business rules and interaction-oriented business rules. Data-oriented business rules should be enforced as closely to the data as possible (datatypes, constraints, triggers, sprocs and views, in that general order) and interaction-oriented business rules should be enforced as close to the interface as possible.
In the end, data types are constraints too, so where should the line be drawn? I like your distinction of data-oriented business rules vs interaction-oriented. Given most architectures have at least 3 layers though, I'm not sure that I'd call the others interaction-oriented. Perhaps interaction and application logic oriented?
Interestingly, most of existing BIG ERPs do NOT run with referential constraints.
SAP does not:
"However, many Enterprise Database Applications (like SAP) have their own proprietary metadata repository (such as the SAP Data Dictionary, or DDIC) that allows for self-management of referential integrity relationships, cluster tables, etc. The self-management means it does not rely on the RDBMS to provide the Declarative Referential Integrity (DRI) to manage the Primary Key and Foreign Key relationships. Almost all SAP database tables have Primary Key constraints specified but without any foreign keys that are associated to them. This is significant in that there is no way for the database to assess the logical consistency between tables and their data when those relationships aren't defined. That can only be done within the realm of the SAP Application module itself."
from here:
MS Dynamics AX also does NOT have referential constraints in database - 2500+ tables and no ref checks. And many others are the same. I worked for mid-market ERP company, we had 1200+ tables solution - with no ref constraints.
Wherever you work, most likely your paycheck was not computed and stored with referential constraints... That really SUXXXX... These systems handle financial data and run big businesses..
hard to advocate for ref constraints in smaller apps when such an examples are well known.
The cause I think is because these big systems are built using special proprietary languages (ABAP for SAP, X++ for dynamics AX, etc). And these languages just did not give much support to 'delayed save-all' which allows data access layer to proper sort the updates. Every record is saved individually and immediately from code; the main reason for this is reliance of identities as PK, so we need record ID immediately, to start linking other entities to it. Using sequences (instead of identities) would have helped, but sequences appeared in SQL Server only recently.
So it all rolled out over the years into the mess we have now. And the result is of course - real mess in data; orphan records, pointers pointing to nowhere, etc. This is in real ERP apps that run big multi-nationals!
One quite easy fix could be delayed ref constraint check that you mention - then all this stuff would start working (or most of it).
But MS stupidly does not understand the importance of this SQL-92 feature. Sad....
The split is data integrity vs. business rules; referential integrity being an example of the former. An Invoice without a Customer is incoherent (cannot be usefully interpreted or accounted for). "This status is only valid for this customer type under these conditions" is a business rule, and does not impair the ability to interpret and use the data even if violated.
Data integrity is the responsibility of the data people. If you do not have data people- well, there's your problem!
Many people don't use it because of performance issues...
They create the unique index on the column to build the FK but forget to build the "inverse" index...
Imagine a Taxes table... Usually the table has few rows... very few (10, 20, 100 tops..). The invoice line table has a taxId and has lots and lots of rows (lets say 10.000.000 for a medium database..). The FK only requires an unique index on the taxId of the Taxes table... It doesn't require and index on the invoice line table..
If you delete a tax from the Taxes table the database will do a scan on the entire invoice line table to check if it's used.. Our ERP had this situation..
Whenever you tried to delete a tax it took more than 10minutes... We created the "reverse" index and it was immediate...
Hi Jason, for that reason, when we review system designs, if we find a declared foreign key where the key columns aren't the left-most component of at least one non-clustered index, we consider that a code-smell.
It's why I've previously blogged that Microsoft should create default indexes on foreign key constraints unless you use the "I know what I'm doing" option.
I received this query via email:
I have a question. Been a dba for years, prior job had performance issues with high volume inserts, I found a few fk's were slowing things from the redundant checking and turned them off because the code handled the quality, things sped up. In my current job we have perf complaints, basically every single table has them, one table had 200+(fk's on one table), with the top 13 tables having over 500 fk's(an average of 42 per table). They now temporarily disable them for some processes, which sped things up, so clearly there is a cost to them. I've been pushing to have the models simplified and keys for critical, and not every table. I am fine with that model but but can there be too many fk's?
In general I find very few FKs that slow performance in enough of a notable way to made me decide to trade that for integrity. Even then, I only disable (not delete) the ones that are *proven* to be a problem.
However, if I had tables with 200 or more FKs on a single table, I'd suspect I had much bigger problems than the FKs. The model seems to be the real issue in your case.

Fa caldo. It's hot. Molto caldo. Very hot. For over a week Italy has been sweltering in temperatures which have reached over 40 degrees in some cities. For days the weather forecast I hear every morning on the radio could be summed up in two words: caldo and sole. Hot and sun.
In Milan the maximum has reached around 35 degrees but with the humidity it felt closer to 37. That's the problem with Milan, in the summer it gets very humid. Go out of the city and you'll find a much more bareable, 'dry' heat, even if there's no difference in the temperature.
The sky's been cloudless during these hot days, but today the clouds arrived and the temperature decreased. Tonight the sun set behind fluffy white clouds and left an evening which was much cooler than the ones we've had recently.
Now there's a breeze blowing, the thunderstorms that were forecasted for tonight and tomorrow morning are probably on their way. I hope there's no storms in the middle of the night; after these hot, sticky nights that's the last thing I need! Hopefully after this spell we'll start to get some Autumnal weather, I'm definitely ready for some cooler temperatures!

Song of The Week
This week's song is by legendary singer-songwriter Edoardo Bennato. To give you some idea of how long he's been around for, one of my favourite Italian songs of all-time is by him, Il gatto e la volpe. It was released in 1977, nine years before I was born. This is his latest single, La mia città.

The Riots
I was planning on writing this post in Italian over on my Italian blog, to sort of give Italy my take on this week's events in London and in other cities in the UK, but I've decided to write it in English so I can explain myself better.
It took a while for news about the London riots to filter down to Italy. It happens all too often, international news stories that don't effect Italy simply don't get mentioned, or if they do then they aren't explained fully. A lot of the time it feels like I'm living in a bubble, even though I may understand every single word in a news bulletin, sometimes it doesn't feel any less of a bubble than it did when I first arrived in Urbino, unable to string a sentence together in Italian. By the time Italian media really started to report the news yesterday I was playing catch up. An amico on Twitter sent me a link to The Guardian's live coverage and I started to fill in the gaps.
But I haven't abandoned Italian news altogether. Last night, like the night before, I was watching Rai News to keep up with the riots. At times they were using clips from BBC World News whilst translating the audio simultaneously. It reminded me of how they covered the earthquake and tsunami in Japan earlier in the year, taking feeds from NHK and translating what was being said. But this time the images weren't coming from thousands of miles away, but my country. If you've never experienced anything like this then it's difficult to explain how it feels. I suppose helplessness sums it up well, mixed with a certain sense of surrealism. You're hundreds of miles away seeing these images on tv, of burning buildings, people who have lost everything, rioters causing damage to their own communities; and all you can do is watch. The distance sort of makes it feel like it's not your country.
From what I've heard today the situation in London has improved. I'm very proud of the majority of Londoners, those who have been cleaning up and providing support to those who need it. That's what Britain's about, being strong and staying together; not mindless looting and destruction. My thoughts go out to everyone in the UK who's been affected by the riots, hopefully there'll be an end to this difficult time soon.

Agosto, il mese più freddo dell'anno... 'August, the coldest month of the year'. After I had to take my summer holidays in July, this is going to be the first full August I've spent in Milan. And I'm already starting to feel a bit excluded from society in general, as I'm someone who's working throughout the month.
Broadly speaking, Italy does shut down for the whole month. Italians simply can't go without their month long holiday, usually on the beach somewhere in Italy. You can start to feel lonely. Not only does everyone (or almost) you know go away on holiday, the city shuts down to a certain extent too. Your day to day life changes, whether it's because than panetteria on your street's closed so you can't pop in for fresh bread every day, or the bar near your work's closed so it means no coffee deliveries every morning; oh, and public transport runs on a reduced summer schedule too... The radio and TV schedules change, and there's always the constant talk of beach, sun, and holidays...
So it's about making the most of what could be a bad situation. It does have its upside though, less traffic and air pollution for example. I'm determined to enjoy August in my own way, even though I can't go on holiday like most of the country.

A Few Drops of Blood or Grenadine
by Terese Svoboda
If not rain, then sleet. North
of the equator by several boundaries,
the beach a swill in rainbowed oil
sixty stories down, he drinks
something slick traced with pink,
matching both the slurried sunset
and what's washing up. I'm late,
arriving. The bar begins revolving.
An exile, he starts, does not take
an airline to her mother's.
It is a state, I suggest. Always.
A wall falls and still we're pressing.
I am the daughter exchanged for cattle:
wife, the oldest outcast. The airline
is my mother: Ta-ta! she waves
at the open hatchway. To that,
he orders another round. If love
chafes, then cut it, cut it,
cut it. You're not bitter enough.
I'm sorry. You're not sorry enough.
O.K. The exile's invisible, that trope.
You ask for peasant sapphics—listen
to that piped-in dreck. You think
slaves turn this bar, stories down?
They're on the street, palms out.
One man does not a ripple make,
in hopeless love, in clichéd country.
He squints: Ah, all she wants is
an out-of-the-body funk under palms
and some swimming pool of desire
she's too young to die in.
As for silence, her language condones it,
the e on the end of "exile." He coughs
the name Kurz over the last sweet drink
and it could be the capital of any
overly developed country, the beach below
opening its sores as the stinking wind
rakes it. But we are nearly home,
the circles closing on those who watch,
blind guilt revolving, from here
instead of there, dissembling.
Terese Svoboda is the author of Cleaned the Crocodile's Teeth (translation), All Aberration, and Laughing Africa. (1992)
