Feds Finally Issue New Institution Restraint And Seclusion
By Dave Reynolds, Inclusion Daily Express
December 12, 2006
WASHINGTON, DC--The federal government has issued its final rules governing the use of restraints and seclusion on patients in Medicare- and Medicaid-funded hospitals and psychiatric facilities.
The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services published the rules on the 8th of December, seven years after the agency formed a committee to study restraint-related deaths, and eight years after the Hartford Courant ran an important exposé on the restraint-related deaths of adults and children -- as young as 6 years of age -- in institutions housing people with mental illness and developmental disabilities.
The new rules, which go into effect February 6 of next year, include limiting physical restraints and seclusion to four hours for adults, two hours for children and adolescents ages 9 to 17, and one hour for patients younger than 9 years of age; requiring facilities to document why an intervention was needed, along with any attempts to use less restrictive methods, and how the patient responded to the intervention; requiring specialized training in non-physical interventions; and specific requirements regarding how and when restraint-related deaths are reported.
In 1998, the Courant published a series entitled "Deadly Restraint," which revealed that 142 patients across the country had died while or after being improperly restrained from 1988 to 1998. A later investigation by the Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services revealed that another 104 patients died between August 1999 and December 2004 in CMS-regulated facilities. That report recommended allowing CMS to impose financial penalties to facilities who do not properly report a restraint death. U.S. Senators Christopher Dodd and Joseph Lieberman, both from Connecticut, had included civil penalties in their original proposal, but penalties failed to make it into the final rules because of pressure from hospital associations, the Courant noted.
Also on Friday, members of Connecticut's Congressional delegation wrote to CMS acting director Leslie Norwalk, calling for the agency to better enforce the rules. Senator Dodd has reportedly said it might be time for lawmakers to revisit the issue of financial penalties.

Renowned journalist Bob Woodward turns his imagination to the macabre and pens a collection of spine-tingling tales to keep you up at night. CHILLERGATE collects all his tales of terror in a single volume of supernatural horror that you will not soon forget.
The vampire leaped from the shadows and took hold of her by the shoulders. Mary cried out in fear and collapsed into the nightmare's clutches, baring the white of her throat to his insatiable fangs.
"I thought you had fallen," said the vampire. "My name is Josh. I am sorry about turning into a bat earlier. I did not mean to scare you."
"It's alright," said Mary. But it wasn't alright. Not even a little bit alright. Sometimes you say it's alright just to try to cool down the situation that might otherwise get out of hand. The bat deal was pretty darn terrifying. Although she spent most of the night walking around and talking about current events with the vampire, she knew terror in her heart, for at any moment their pleasant conversation might be rent asunder by Josh's unholy thirst.
"You should probably be getting home," said Josh.
"You're right. I had a lot of fun hanging around this graveyard with you." They shook hands like friends and Mary went home just as the sun began to come up, sparing her from the twisted fate Josh had in store for her.
"Sorry," apologized the formless horror that shambled through farmer Lyle's fence. The monstrosity rippled unnaturally, dragging a dozen feet of picket fence, a light post, and half of a shed with it as it came onto farmer Lyle's property.
"That's far enough!" warned farmer Lyle. "I have a shotgun and I mean to use it."
"Oh," said the creature. "Alright. I was just trying to get through. I didn't realize this was a whole, yeah, sorry about that."
The creature sheepishly backed away and went around farmer Lyle's property, but farmer Lyle would never sleep again, wondering when the creature would strike next.
"Be on the lookout for an escaped mental patient from the Virginia Asylum for the Criminally Insane. The man is over six feet tall and he may be bandaged so--"
Jennifer switched off the radio and shooed the kids she was babysitting up to their room to play video games. She began texting her boyfriend when, suddenly, there came a tapping on the glass of the door. Remembering the radio announcement, she became very afraid.
Then she saw that the man was not a lunatic at all, but a policeman.
"Hello, ma'am," he said when she opened the door. "I am just checking out the houses looking for that lunatic that escaped. Can I come inside and have a look around."
She didn't want to, but he was a policeman, what could go wrong? Jennifer opened the door and the policeman stepped inside. Then he closed the door. His eyes were hidden by the shadow of his hat. Jennifer's heart beat very quickly.
Then the policeman searched the property, but he did not find anyone.
"I wouldn't worry," he said as they returned to the door. "He's not dangerous. He is just depressed and might try to hurt himself. I'll be in the area to make sure nothing bad happens."
The policeman went outside and got in his car and began slowly patrolling the neighborhood. It didn't matter. Jennifer couldn't stop thinking about that escaped lunatic. Could the policeman have been the escaped lunatic? It was impossible for her to know with total certainty in Obama's America.
Those are just three of the bone-curdling tales included. Want more? Bob Woodward has got more!

Ontario moves to fix bail system problems
Ontario is changing a bail system whose problems were exposed in a Free Press series last year.
The province announced Monday a new bail directive for Crown Attorneys that will allow people with minor charges to avoid the most restrictive terms of release from custody — obtaining a surety — and ensure bail conditions be connected to "the circumstances of the accused."
The new directive would also reduce barriers to Indigenous communities and make sure vulnerable people have support while awaiting trial.
"There are some people who pose a risk to public safety and should rightly be denied bail, but for those people who are low-risk and may just need a bed to sleep in, that's where Ontario can step up and help," Attorney General Yasir Naqvi said. "People should not be denied bail by the simple virtue of their disadvantage."
About two-thirds of the people held in Ontario's correctional institutions are on remand, meaning they have not been convicted of the crime for which they are accused.
The John Howard Society of Ontario, which has been advocating for change for several years, welcomed the news.
"We are very pleased to see these approaches reflected in the new directive," Michelle Keast, director of the society's research and policy centre, said in a release.
Issues of bail in Ontario were explored in a Free Press investigation published last fall, called Indiscernible, that explained how St. Thomas region realtor Jamie High struggled after being arrested in September 2014.
His charges were not likely going to lead to jail time, but instead of being released after his arrest, High was put in jail.
He was ordered to get a surety — someone to supervise him while on bail. Battling alcoholism, he was also ordered to stop drinking immediately.
When his surety fell through because of his alcohol use, police arrested him for breaching his bail. Police took him out of a hospital where he was receiving psychiatric care and put him in jail, where he died in a segregation cell.
The province's new directive emphasizes "that bail recommendations should start with the least restrictive form of release and that having an accused person released with a surety while awaiting trial should be an exception," the province announced.
The directive also reinforces "that recommendations for conditions of release should be connected to both the circumstances of the accused and the facts of the case, while at the same time, meeting public safety concerns."

Pino: Feminist implications of Standing Rock often overlooked
Frankie Prijatel | Senior Staff Photographer
Construction of the North Dakota Access Pipeline started a fight against its development to ensure the respect and preservation of indigenous groups that constantly find themselves at the mercy of the Unites States government.
The DAPL was proposed to make the U.S. more self-sufficient by minimizing the need to import energy from other countries. Having the pipeline would also be a more environmentally safe way of importing the crude oil. But while the government sees this as a cost-effective way to fuel the country, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has filed a complaint in federal court and protested at the Sacred Stone Camp since April 1.
Protesters were hit with rubber bullets and doused with water in freezing temperatures Monday, which sent some protesters to the hospital with hypothermia. One activist from New York had her arm torn apart from an explosion, which those present say came from a hand grenade fired by authorities. Instances of this kind of abuse and infringement on the rights of indigenous people make it clear that prejudice and privilege are as alive as ever.
While the DAPL does put the historic sites and sacred spaces of the Standing Rock tribe at risk, at its core, this project is just as much a feminist issue as it is an environmental and cultural one.
Frankie Prijatel | Senior Staff Photographer
The main issue with the DAPL is that depriving families of clean drinking water creates a chain reaction of problems: from the financial burden of having to purchase clean water to increased physical violence against native people. This violence particularly affects Native American women, as they are almost three times more likely than other groups to be sexually assaulted — with two-thirds of those assaults being committed by non-natives, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice.
The conflict is also a feminist concern because traditionally, within tribes like the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, women are the leaders — and the DAPL protests are no exception. The indigenous women in positions of power are stopping at nothing in order to ensure construction crews can't begin work on the pipeline, even if that means using their own bodies as barricades.
These "chosen protectors of the water" are determined to put an end to the DAPL to not only preserve the sacred sites on their land and have clean drinking water, but to help preserve Mother Earth because any harm caused to her would be harm to us all. The battle that is currently taking place at Standing Rock is just a part of a long, ongoing history of oppression and the white man's efforts to erase the last remnants of Native American history and culture.
Jourdan Bennett-Begaye, a magazine, newspaper and online journalism graduate student at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, traveled to North Dakota in September and October to join the protests and stand in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Bennett-Begaye considered her firsthand experience at Standing Rock a spiritual awakening. As for national attention — or lack thereof — on the DAPL, Bennett-Begaye pointed to how indigenous people are struggling for their voice to be heard.
"It's just sad that it takes a white person or celebrity non-Native who has to say something about it — that's what makes the news which is a sad thing," said Bennett-Begaye. "It's a cycle and that's what we are trying to break. People only pay attention when there's violence rising."
Because both men and women have taken it upon themselves to defend their health, culture and sacred spaces, Bennett-Begaye underscored the importance of gender equality in the fight against the DAPL.
"The role of women in native communities is that we are equal, men and women were created to help one another," she said.
But rather than embracing the empowerment of women and the diminishing importance of gender roles in native communities, non-natives are undermining this powerful activism.
The women of Standing Rock are setting an example that the rest of the world should take note of. These women are powerful, respected and have a sense of authority within their tribes that is missing in the rest of U.S.' patriarchal society. They are putting their lives on the line to protect their identities and the history of their people while making it clear that they are their own protectors.

USP seeks feedback on <797>
Revisions to USP <797> under way
USP is urging pharmacist stakeholders to review proposed revisions to one of its national standards for compounded preparations.
The chapter, General Chapter <797> Pharmaceutical Compounding—Sterile Preparations, is one of two enforceable national standards for compounding published by USP. <797> specifically details requirements for the process, testing, and verification of any compounded sterile preparation, especially ways to prevent microbial contamination and other variances in compounded sterile preparations in all settings, including community pharmacies, and regardless of who is performing the compounding.
"The goal of revising <797> is to set standards for producing quality compounded preparations, leading to increased patient safety," Jaap Venema, PhD, executive vice president and chief science officer at USP, told Pharmacy Today.
USP made it clear, however, that the revision was not coming in reaction to recent contamination outbreaks—most notably the tragedy involving the New England Compounding Center in 2012.
"This wasn't a reaction," Rick Schnatz, PharmD, senior manager for Compounding and Healthcare Quality Standards at USP, told Today. "Our initiatives are always to produce standards that will allow practitioners to make quality, sterile preparations that benefit patients."
Years in the making
USP works with its Compounding Expert Committee—a group of outside selected expert volunteers who make USP's scientific and standards-setting decisions—to improve the clarity of the chapter, based on the latest scientific data and extensive stakeholder input, according to Venema.
"For that purpose, USP has worked closely with compounding practitioners, educators, infection control specialists, government liaisons, and other health care professionals," said Venema.
The last revision to <797> took place in 2008, and since 2010, the chapter has been under review.
These new revisions seek to clarify requirements, incorporate new scientific and technical information, and reflect stakeholder feedback, specifically on the reorganization of existing sections and placement of procedural information in boxes; collapsing of three compounded sterile preparation (CSP) microbial risk categories into two categories (Category 1 and 2); and removal of information on handling hazardous drugs and added cross-references to <800> Hazardous Drugs—Handling in Healthcare Settings.
In addition, the revisions introduce new terminology, "in-use time," to refer to the time before which a conventionally manufactured product must be used after it has been opened or punctured or a CSP must be used after it has been opened or punctured.
The practice of traditional compounding under 503A of the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act is regulated primarily by state boards of pharmacy, and in many states, compliance with <797> carries the force of law based on regulations passed by state legislatures and boards of pharmacy. Aside from compounding done in 503B-registered outsourcing facilities, FDA and DEA have oversight only for the drugs and controlled substances used to prepare compounded medications.
FDA said the revised chapter reflects a significant improvement over the current chapter.
"It more clearly recognizes the risks associated with sterile compounding and tightens controls in areas such as personnel qualification, facility design, environmental monitoring, and establishment of beyond-use dates," Janet Woodcock, MD, director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in an e-mailed statement to Today. "If adopted without significant change, it will help to ensure that patients who receive sterile drugs compounded in accordance with this chapter are not exposed to contaminated products and will represent a meaningful improvement in the protection of the public health."
Timeline and next steps
To allow extra time for stakeholder review and comment, USP posted the proposed revisions in advance of its November 2, 2015, publication in Pharmacopeial Forum (PF) 41(6) [Nov.–Dec. 2015].
"We believe this chapter is a very important one for the safety of patients, so we preposted the chapter to give stakeholders extra time," said Schnatz.
He said, however, that they can't predict when it will be official. When the comment period ends on January 31, 2016, members will meet and revise the chapter based on the public comments. "We could also get so many comments that we would need to put it out again for comment," said Schnatz. Depending on the changes, members may otherwise move forward and vote on the chapter. If approved, the chapter will be published and facilities will have a 6-month period to comply. The committee can also decide to extend the compliance period.
Comments can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com using the submission template at www.usp.org. Comments should include corresponding line number to the proposed revisions to the General Chapter. Questions can also be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Origami Fish - wall decor
This week's project was building an origami fish into an underwater ocean scene for wall decor.
Making up the origami fish from the Modular Origami kit was was fun, a great project for a rainy summer afternoon.
The pre-cut paper pieces were precisely cut and each piece was folded into a module, and the fish was built up from the modules - simples!
A little 3-in-1 glue between some of the modules ensured that it didn't fall apart.
Then, a distress-inked background, and some card stock embellishments cut, layered, coloured and decorated were added to the frame, and the project was complete!

Sleep masks are designed in a wide range of designs to shield your eyes from unwanted light, ensuring you will be able to set a perfectly dark environment for you to get some shut eye. Beyond that they are each designed to address a particular need.Whether you may be researching into buying your first sleep mask or you have a sleep masks you are not completely satisfied with, we have put together this handy guide to help you become familiar with the wide variety of sleep masks available.
So how do you choose the best sleep mask for you?
We have broken down each type of sleep mask into categories that best explain their unique benefits. If there is one benefit that seems to address your main reason for utilizing a sleep mask then you can go directly to that section to ready up on the various masks and their features.
The best sleep mask is obviously going to be the one that helps you feel most comfortable and aids you in getting in a good nap or a restorative night of sleep.
When fitted incorrectly to the face, sleep masks can only block out 98%-99% of light. It's also important to note that since everyone's face varies in size and shape, a mask that blocks out 100% of light for one person may not do the same for you. Product reviews along with the mask dimensions can help you choose the proper mask for you.
You should also take into consideration what location (e.g. bright/dark room, outdoors/indoors) you plan to use your sleep mask. If you are trying to sleep in a very bright location, try to look for a sleep mask that can block 99% to 100% of light. A larger mask will cover more of your face to limit the possibility of light creeping in from the edges in case the mask moves while you are sleeping. An adjustable mask will also allow you to get the best combination of secure fit and comfort.
There are two types of therapeutic sleep masks: those that use light therapy and those that use aromatherapy. The light therapy masks such as the Sound Oasis Glo-to-Sleep masks use a blue light to focus the mind in order to calm it and help you fall to sleep faster. The aromatherapy therapeutic sleep masks comes with a front pocket to conveniently fit an herb sachet.The purpose of the sachet is to use aromatherapy in addition to light blocking to help you sleep. Most sleep masks come with an herbal fragrance, although you can certainly experiment with different fragrances or combos to determine the one you find most effective.
Therapeutic Benefits:
1. Fall asleep faster without using medication.
2. Ideal for those who use pillow liners.
3. Perfect for those who enjoy aromatherapy.
Inserting the herb sachet is completely optional. If you prefer not to insert the herbal sachet to stimulate yourself into sleeping, you can still use the sleep mask as a standard light-blocking aid. There are other aromatherapy options available that do not involve placing the sachet into the sleep mask. Some examples include pillow liners and sleep sprays, vaporizers and concentrates made from essential oils.
Slim/Medium/Thick Profile
Another important factor to consider is the profile of the sleep mask. Do you travel often and value convenience for an eye mask with a slim profile to fit into your purse or bag? Or do you prefer wearing a mask that doesn't feel like anything is sitting on your face?
If that's the case, you should consider a mask such as the Dream Essentials Sweet Dreams Contoured Sleep Mask, a slim and feather-light eye mask with molded eye spacing to offer light-blocking capabilities without sacrificing comfort.
The Dream Essentials Sweet Dreams Contoured Sleep Mask is very flexible and can fold without permanently creasing. For a budget-friendly price at right around $13, it comes with a complimentary drawstring carry pouch and free foam earplugs.
For those who prefer wearing a medium or thicker eye mask, you may want to try a test run and see if the thick strap will dig into your skin first. Usually thicker sleep masks add sight pressure to the eyes with the trade off being they typically have better light-blocking capabilities compared to thinner masks.
For Sleeping
A comfortable eye mask doesn't always necessarily mean it will block out the maximum light. However, some people prefer to
put on an eye mask simply for sleeping and not much for anything else. If that's the case, you can look for a mask made from a slightly opaque material that won't allow too much light pass to your eyes. However, pay close attention to mask shape as slight crevices can also allow some light to enter the mask along the edges or on the nose area.Ideally, your mask should be soft, flexible and light-weight, with contours that keep it from pressing against your eyes.
Multiple Colors
Once you've decided on an effective light-blocking mask you may start to reflect on what color, design and appearance best suits you and your personality. There are many masks available in a variety of designs that range from simple to fancy with some ranging from themed masks based on popular characters and colors to neutral colors and designs.
Although the mask's design won't ultimately affect your sleeping ability because your eyes will see pitch darkness, it doesn't hurt to invest in a mask that adds a bit of fun to your personality.
With Velcro Fasteners
Decide if a Velcro strap is really the right choice for you. A few things you may want to test before deciding on an eye mask with velcro fasteners is the level of comfort you feel with a strap band on your head. Choose a mask with a soft, length-adjustable strap that won't entangle your hair or cut into your head.
With Ear Plugs
If you want to block out all noise in addition to light, there are eye masks that come with complimentary ear plugs as well. Some ear plugs stay attached with the mask so they don't get lost while there are others are loose from the eye mask, depending on your personal preference.
Side Sleeper
People that sleep primarily on their sides usually prefer a more compact and light-profile mask profile so that it doesn't easily shift from your face when you toss and turn during your sleep cycle. You can consider looking into the Dream Essentials Sleep Mask, which is also great for side sleepers or stomach sleepers. The best masks for you are ones that don't shift or fall off no matter how much you toss and turn during your sleep.
After a period of prolonged usage, it's necessary to wash your sleep mask to prevent bacteria, oil, and dirt build-up. If you continually use a sleep mask without regularly washing it, you may even result in an eye infection, acne, or skin irritation. Believe it or not, you tend to sweat during sleep. You can probably notice this on your sheets and pillowcases and the same thing will happen with your sleep mask if you use it consistently. The eyebrows and eyelashes are popular spots for oil and dirt accumulation.
Fabric Choices/Material
Materials used in the mask construction are important, particularly for people irritated by, or even allergic, to certain materials and fabrics. Also, how durable is the mask and can it be easily washed? Some eye masks are made of a combination of 100% cotton and silk that is easy yet delicate on the eyes and skin. Try looking into 100% cotton eye masks because they encourage sweat absorption and are breathable which help prevent overheating.
Eye Space
Eye space refers to the hollow spaces where your eyes do not touch the fabric of the mask. A benefit of eye cavities is the freedom of staring into pitch darkness while still wearing the mask. This is possible because your eye lashes are a short distance from the fabric but not too close that your lashes touch the fabric, allowing maximum freedom for your eyes.You should also take into note that it all comes down to personal preference because some eye mask shapes may irritate the bridge of your nose more than others.
Before purchasing a sleeping mask, ask yourself if you want an eye mask that touches your eyelashes or not. Gentle pressure to the eyelids sometimes soothes people to sleep while it causes irritation for others. Sleep mask brands that don't touch your eyes include Dream Essentials and Bucky.
Travel Pouch Included Some eye masks come included with a travel pouch. If your eye mask comes included with earplugs, it's best to purchase or look into a sleep mask set that also includes a travel pouch. That way you can keep all your items and accessories together no matter where you go. You can even throw it in your purse or bag knowing all your accessories or your eye mask are safe and in one place. Even if you don't have a travel pouch, it never hurts to look into getting one.
For Children
Children often try to imitate adult behavior. If your child spots you wearing a sleep mask, they're sure to want to try it to find out what it's all about. A children's mask is a great start to encourage children to develop good sleeping habits at a young age.They're travel-friendly and great for ages 3 to 10. They're usually designed with bright, vibrant, and kid-friendly designs they will adore. A black-out fabric is usually stitched into the body of the mask to prevent the eyes from receiving light. Be sure to check the material of the fabric to be sure the fabric rests over the eyes and cushions them without putting pressure on the eyes. Be sure to ask your child if it's comfortable enough. An uncomfortable eye mask will likely result in discomfort and sleep loss.
If you do not find the right sleep mask for you among the available selections, you can also choose to customize your sleep mask to best suit you. Once again, a few but not all of the things to consider: types, materials, and price.
How to Get Started
If you're having doubts, feel free to ask us about which masks would be the best sleep mask for you. Be sure to include the most important details such as size, style and fabric prefences, price, and any information about your sleeping conditions (side sleeper, ambient noise level, light level, etc).

- 5 years ago
- Wedding: September 2014 - Lodge
When I purchased my dress (a sample) the dress fit perfectly, just a tiny bit tight on the hips. So I started to exercise more (adding 2 extra days to my 3 day workout routine). I basically just wanted to lose maybe 1/2 inch on my thighs and tone my arms more. Instead I ended up losing 30 lbs. So when I purchased my dress the corset was fine. When I tried on my dress again after losing weight the corset was done tighter and the dress still was falling off me. So I'm thinking since the dress is so much bigger on me now and will need alterations anyway, do I want to leave the back as a corset or do I want to change it to a zipper and add buttons down the back? I love the look of buttons on a wedding gown. It looks so vintage and romantic.
So here is my dress when I bought it:

It's the secret to falling asleep in 15 minutes or less every single night… sleeping peacefully all night long… and waking up well-rested and refreshed every morning…
It's the key to erasing the anxiety you feel about going to bed…
And it's so simple, it starts with a shake recipe you can make right now.
It's all thanks to a team of neuroscientists who revealed how the medical industry has gotten it wrong about insomnia for decades. The root cause of insomnia isn't stress, or hormones, or bad habits, or anything else you've heard before…
Insomnia is caused by an imbalance in your neural activity – you have too much activity in the "wake center" of your brain, causing your brain to literally fight with itself when you need to sleep.
But now sleep experts have a discovered simple, natural, and safe technique to slow down that neural activity, and "outsmart" your insomnia… without ever using dangerous, addictive sleeping pills.
So if you've ever…
Because you're going to discover how this recent University of Oxford study finally revealed the truth to curing insomnia.
In just a few minutes, you'll have the knowledge you need to outsmart your insomnia, and start living every day full of happiness and energy.
Let's get started.
My name is Sam Oakes, and my insomnia almost killed me.
Before I get to that, let me tell you about myself.
I'm 44 years old, and I live outside Philadelphia with my wife and 2 children.
I've spent my life trying to provide a good life for them, and helping them however I can.
But up until a few years ago, I couldn't even help myself.
It started when I was teenager. My friend complained that it took him an hour to fall asleep. An hour! I would have loved to fall asleep in an hour.
It was the first I realized that it wasn't normal to lie awake for 3 to 5 hours. Or sometimes not sleep at all.
But if I'd only known what the next stage of my life would bring, I would have been thankful for even a few hours of sleep.
See, a few years after I'd started my career and started my family… my insomnia exploded.
I thought the next night I'd be so exhausted that I wouldn't have any problem getting to sleep.
But again, not 1 minute of sleep.
Finally on the 3rd night I slept for 2 hours.
And then the 4th night I went right back to no sleep at all.
That started the worst years of my life. I'd be lucky to sleep a few hours a week.
I'd spend all night staring at the ceiling…
And all day walking around like a zombie.
I'm sure you know exactly what that's like. Your muscles ache like you've been pumping iron all day. You feel buzzed, like everything is brighter and needs your attention, even while your attention span is completely gone.
People talk to you like you're drunk, and really, you might as well be.
When I was younger, I used to go on long bike rides through the country. It was my favorite, most relaxing thing to do.
But as my insomnia got worse, I couldn't bike anymore. I'd ride 100 feet and my legs would turn to heavy stones. Not sleeping was exhausting my whole body. I was just too weak to do my favorite hobby.
Starting in my early twenties, I gained weight every year. I hated looking in the mirror, because my gut just got bigger and bigger. The worst part was, I was a decent looking guy, except for my insomnia making me gain weight and look sick all the time.
And then I started getting terrible migraines, which my doctor told me was from not sleeping enough. The pain split my head in two, and I couldn't even function.
My job performance plummeted. It took me forever to get anything done, because my exhausted mind was thinking so slowly. I felt like a failure.
It's the most frustrating thing I've ever experienced. I was just as smart as the next guy, and just as hardworking.
But I was falling behind in my career because of my insomnia. But most embarrassing of all, my sex life with my wife went downhill. My body was just too worn out to perform sexually.
I became severely depressed. Was this what the rest of my life would be like?
Everywhere I looked I saw people who didn't realize how lucky they had it. All I wanted was to sleep normally like everyone else, so I wouldn't feel so sick and exhausted all the time, so my migraines would go away, and I could enjoy a normal, happy relationship with my wife.
Pills knocked me out, but I'd wake up even more tired than when I went to bed! And then all day I'd be too groggy to function. Plus, I've seen good people get addicted to sleeping pills. I didn't trust them.
I tried natural supplements as well. Still didn't help. Sometimes I'd hear a new trick that was supposed to cure insomnia, so I'd try it. Sometimes the trick might even work for a few weeks, and I'd think I was finally cured. But then the insomnia would come right back.
I didn't realize yet that the medical industry had no idea what caused insomnia, and they were failing miserably to provide a solution. They didn't care, since they make over $4.5 billion each year on sleeping pills.
I thought I was doomed to spend my whole life exhausted, unhealthy, and ruining relationships.
I was going through a stressful time. Work was tough, and I argued with my wife and kids almost every day.
My insomnia was getting worse and worse. Most nights I didn't sleep at all.
Which of course made work even tougher, and made me fight with my family even more.
It got to the point where I'd have given anything just to fall asleep.
So I talked to my doctor and got back on sleeping pills.
I knew they were dangerous, and I knew I'd wake up just as tired as when I went to bed, but I didn't care. I just wanted some rest from the stress of staying awake all night.
Now, at this point I'd only slept about 4 hours over the last 10 days. So I was pretty much walking around in daze.
Since I'd tried sleeping pills before, and they'd never worked that well, I decided I would take twice what the doctor told me to.
(Trust me: never take more than prescribed. I'm lucky to be alive.)
Before putting the kids to bed, I took two pills.
After that I barely remember a thing.
I tucked in the kids, then went to brush my teeth. My wife asked me if I'd brought in our dog, Maggie. She was a lab who was getting older, so she preferred to spend the night inside. I went back downstairs and let her in.
As exhausted as I was, I must have forgotten that I'd already taken the sleeping pill. So I took two more.
Back upstairs, my wife asked me if I'd made sure the door was locked. I went back downstairs to do that. I must forgotten again, and taken two more.
Now, I was already on a high dose. And I had just swallowed 6 times that much.
Apparently, I passed out on my way back up the stairs.
I do remember feeling my eyelids get heavy, and thinking that this didn't feel right. I tried to call out to my wife, but nothing came out but a grunt. Suddenly, our dog was at my side, whining and nuzzling my face. Then everything went black.
I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach, and then taken a 2x4 to my head.
It turns out, my wife had heard Maggie barking, and found me unconscious on the stairs. She called an ambulance, and 30 minutes later the doctors had pumped my stomach and had me hooked up to all sorts of wires and tubes.
When I finally woke up – thanks to the prayers of my wife and the talent of the doctors – my wife was sitting by my bed.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
After a few minutes, the doctor came in.
At first, they thought I had tried to kill myself!
"No!" I said. "I don't even know what happened!"
I convinced them that it was an accident. I didn't want to die!
"You're lucky you're still alive," he told me. "If you'd taken just one more pill, or if you'd arrived at the hospital just 5 minutes later, the drugs would have shut down your whole body."
I couldn't believe it. I'd almost died. I'd almost missed out on growing old with my wife, and watching my kids go to college and get married. Then the doctor told me even worse news:
"Your vital statistics aren't looking good. Your blood pressure is dangerously low. It should be at 120 over 80. Yours is at 75 over 45. We've also detected a high number of heart palpitations – your heart is skipping beats. You're at a very high risk of heart failure."
"How long have you had insomnia?"
"My whole life," I told him.
I was too young for things like that, wasn't I?
"Listen," said the doctor, "if you don't start sleeping more, you'll suffer an early death. But you can't take sleeping pills ever again. Even if you take the proper dosage, they could shut down your weak cardiovascular system."
That's the last thing an insomniac wants to hear. Stress already kept me awake. And now if I didn't sleep, I would die early! With that level of stress, I'd never be able to sleep again.
Instead, I spent all night angry about my situation.
I'd already suffered for years from insomnia, and it made every aspect of my life much harder than the average person's. I already had to put up with feeling exhausted every day, thinking a little slower because of my exhaustion. I couldn't exercise very much or do well in sports. Even my relationship with my children suffered, since sometimes they thought my exhaustion was me not caring.
And now this. It wasn't enough that my whole life had been tough. Now I was going to die early.
But what was I supposed to do? I had already tried everything my doctor told me. I'd already tried everything the so-called "experts" advised. I'd bought dozens of self-help books on beating insomnia naturally. I'd tried herbal remedies and natural supplementsBut what was I supposed to do? I had already tried everything my doctor told me. I'd already tried everything the so-called "experts" advised. I'd bought dozens of self-help books on beating insomnia naturally. I'd tried herbal remedies and natural supplements.
Nothing worked.
I didn't know yet that the medical industry was absolutely clueless when it came to insomnia…
Except for one small group of researchers.
It was pure luck that I found them.
I'd been sent by the physical therapy clinic I worked for to a conference. I attended the presentation I was supposed to, and then as I was walking out, I noticed a room off to the side with a sign in front.
That's what I needed, so I went inside.
A guy about my age stood at the front of the conference room, getting his presentation ready.
I sat down, and listened to what he had to say.
He introduced himself as Ryan Harmon. He used to suffer from debilitating insomnia himself, until he learned about a simple solution.
He talked about how over the years, doctors and medical researchers have only made guesses at what causes insomnia, and how it should be treated.
Some doctors said it was a purely psychological problem – it was all in your mind, and it should be treated by psychologists.
It was just a side effect of other diseases. If you wanted to cure the insomnia, you'd have to cure the other disease.
The problem with these theories was they never lead to a cure. Doctors or psychiatrists would listen to their patients, tell them to stop stressing out, and prescribe sleeping pills. But sleeping pills aren't a real solution. As soon as you stop taking them, you have insomnia again.
Not to mention how dangerous they are. From the first time you take a pill, your body starts to depend on them, and becomes less able to sleep on its own. It's not a question of whether or not you'll become addicted… it's only a question of when. Some people can go for months before it happens, but others become addicted after just one pill.
Ryan then explained the whole problem:
"That means there's a severe medical that at any given time is affecting between 10% and 40% of the population, and we don't even know what causes it!"
"At least," Ryan said, "until now."
"A team of neuroscientists and medical doctors at the University of Pittsburgh have finally discovered the cause – they finally know what's going on in your brain when you're suffering from insomnia."
"Both are complex systems, made up of different parts of the brain."
"Obviously, when you're awake, there's more neural activity in the wake center. And when you're asleep, there's more neural activity in the sleep center."
"When you go to sleep, neurons from the sleep center are sent to slow down activity in the wake center of the brain. When you wake up, the wake center becomes more active and slows down activity in the sleep center."
"Now, when someone with insomnia tries to sleep, their sleep center becomes active, but their wake center stays active, too. So when you're lying awake, unable to sleep even though your body is telling you it needs to sleep, both your "wake center" and "sleep center" are active. That's why it feels like your body is fighting with itself… because it is."
This new understanding of insomnia came from a study published in the peer reviewed journal Disease Models in 2012. They first studied animals, and then discovered the same ideas were true in people.
Well, I sat through that entire presentation, paying close attention. After over 20 years of struggling with insomnia, I finally knew what was going on in my head. I didn't know the solution yet, but it felt so close.
After the presentation, I went up and introduced myself. I thanked him for the presentation.
"Do you suffer from insomnia?" Ryan asked me.
I told him how I'd struggled with insomnia for over 20 years, and how I'd recently accidentally overdosed on sleeping pills. And I told him how the doctor had said I'd die from heart failure if I didn't start getting to sleep.
Ryan listened to me, and then said, "I have something that will help you."
"This isn't like that," he said. "Did you understand my presentation?"
"I think so," I said. "I have insomnia because when my sleep center becomes active, my wake center doesn't slow down. Both stay active."
"That's right. Your brain is telling your body it needs sleep, and it's telling your body to stay awake.
This new research changes everything we know about insomnia, and it holds the key to finally curing insomnia. The only reason every doctor isn't talking about this yet is that the research is so new. It hasn't had time to get around yet.
That's why I'm visiting these conferences – this research saved my life, and I want to get the word out."
"So what can I do to fix my insomnia?" I asked.
"I'm glad you asked," said Ryan. "Now that researchers know what in the brain is causing insomnia, it got them thinking about some other research…
"What do you mean?" I asked
"The brain is constantly changing. For example, if you learn a musical instrument, we can actually measure the change in your brain. Or if you start meditating, we can see growth in other parts of our brain. Certain activities and habits cause more activity in certain parts of the brain. Or certain activities can force that activity to slow down. Do you see what I'm getting at?"
"I think so," I said.
"Here's what I mean," said Ryan, "When you have insomnia, we know which parts of the brain are too active, and which parts aren't active enough."
"And do you know what activities will speed up or slow down those parts?" I asked.
He nodded. "Exactly. In fact, research from University of Oxford has discovered which activities will slow down the activity in your brain's wake center. That means you can cure your insomnia."
"How about we grab lunch tomorrow, and I'll show you how it works?"
Of course I agreed.
The next day we met at a local restaurant. He brought a stack of papers and set it on the table.
"Let's start," he said, "with you deciding what you want from this. What's your real goal?"
"To live and grow old," I said. "To not have heart failure."
"What else?"
I put a hand on my belly. "To lose weight. To be able to exercise. To get rid of my migraines. To have the energy to do well at work, and enjoy my hobbies, and have fun with my family."
"Really," I said, "to just feel healthy again."
"Then listen closely to what I'm about to say," Ryan told me. "Curing your insomnia will give you all of that. You'll have more energy. Studies show that getting rid of insomnia makes it easier to lose weight. And your body will be able to heal itself to minimize your risk of heart failure."
"Let's look closely at your problems," he said. "And break down exactly what you mean when you say you want to fix your insomnia. I'm guessing there's three different things you want:
1: You want to get to sleep quickly…
2: You want to fix your sleep schedule and fall asleep quickly every night…
3: You want to actually sleep deeply enough that you wake up feeling refreshed.
"Is that right?" he asked.
"Right," I said.
"Okay, we're going to tackle those problems one at a time."
"First, I'm going to make sure you know every trick in the book to fall asleep in 15 minutes or less. Every habit or action you can do to slow down the activity in the wake center of your brain."
"Next, we're going to help you start sleeping regularly again. I'll show you the exact activities that will program your brain for the long-term. You'll be able to fall asleep quickly… every single night."
"Last, we'll make sure you sleep deeply… and get the type of sleep that actually refreshes you, and helps your body heal itself."
He explained the plan to me, and for the next 2 weeks we met every day.
I first used Ryan's techniques for falling asleep in 15 minutes. I'm not going to say a miracle happened, but the first night, I used the "No Words Visualization" technique and fell asleep faster than I have in years!
Ryan told me that these first techniques were more of a short-term solution. They solved the problem that night, but in order for me to start sleeping regularly again, I needed something more.
So I jumped right into the next group of techniques.
I started with a trick to "Relax Your Brainwaves and Drift to Sleep." It was the most relaxed I've ever felt while lying in bed.
But the real meat was "The Sleep Schedule Solution." This uses research from the University of Oxford on how to slow down the wake center of your brain, and speed up neural activity in the sleep center of your brain.
Ryan had taken this research and turned it into a 2-week program, with simple techniques like setting your alarm for the exact time that will help you sleep regularly… and knowing what to do when you're lying in bed and not falling asleep.
After putting the kids to bed, I was sitting with my wife on the couch, and I nodded off!
After 20 years of not being able to sleep no matter how much I wanted to, I fell asleep on accident!
And this wasn't the exhaustion I was used to, the kind where your whole body aches and begs for sleep but your mind stays wide awake.
This was feeling sleepy. Both my body and mind were peacefully relaxing, ready to drift off.
We went upstairs, and I slept until my alarm went off, 8 hours later.
I was a little groggy when I woke up, but I couldn't believe it! I'd slept through the night!
As I followed his program, I had more and more nights like that.
It was amazing!
But Ryan said the best part was still coming.
I started using the techniques to sleep deeply, and my life completely changed.
Ryan explained to me that sleep is more complicated than just REM and NREM sleep. There's actually 3 stages of NREM sleep, and only the 3rd stage is the deep, rejuvenating sleep that helps you wake up feeling refreshed, and helps your body repair itself.
In fact, you could sleep 10 hours every night, but if you don't spend any time in Stage 3 Deep NREM Sleep, you'll feel like you didn't sleep at all.
You also have to make sure you're getting Stage 3 Deep NREM Sleep…
And that's exactly what I did with the last section of Ryan's program.
I used techniques like "In the Moment Thinking" and the "Stress-Free Tomorrow Protocol." These are simple things you can do that help your brain produce the chemicals that will help you slip quickly into Stage 3 Deep NREM Sleep.
After just a few days of such wonderful sleep, the world felt like a different place.
I had the energy to enjoy my hobbies, to have fun with my family on weekends, and to even go on vacations and actually enjoy them.
Now that my body was working the way it's supposed to, it started burning fat again. I lost 25 pounds in just 5 weeks! My gut disappeared, and I noticed I was turning heads again… even people 10 years younger were checking me out!
I started doing better at work. Ryan explained that effective sleep helps you focus and be more productive. With the insomnia gone, there was nothing holding me back. What used to take me a week to do I could now finish in a day. It didn't take long for me to get a nice promotion and a big raise.
My relationship with my wife improved, including our relationship in the bedroom. My embarrassing problem went away.
Best of all, my wife and kids were happier around me, and I realized it was because I was happier around them.
After I'd been free from insomnia for several months, my coworker Carol pulled me aside one day.
I told her that yes, I used to.
"How'd you get rid of it?"
Carol went on to tell me how ever since her husband had lost his job, she'd been unable to sleep. The stress kept her up worrying.
I explained how I'd met Ryan, and about the techniques he'd taught me. She asked if she could try it, and of course I said yes. I gave her a copy of everything I had.
Just a week later, she came looking for me at work, excited and smiling.
Pretty soon, the whole office was talking about how great Carol looked. She was happier, she had more energy, and it turns out that effective sleep is healthy for your skin. People started mistaking her for being 10 years younger!
After I shared the system with Carol, it didn't take long for friends and family to start calling me to ask about this new insomnia cure I'd found. So I shared it with them, and it fixed their insomnia. It didn't matter if they'd had insomnia for years, or for just a few days. It didn't matter if their insomnia stopped them from sleeping for days at a time, or just made it hard for them to get to sleep. The program Ryan had given me worked.
I called him to tell him about how great it was doing. "We have to share this with everyone," I said.
So we spent some time figuring out how we could spread the news about this new insomnia cure, but we finally decided to bypass medical publishers altogether, and get the word out ourselves.
We wanted everyone who suffers from insomnia to finally get free from their disease, so we organized Ryan's program into an easy-to-read guide, and made it available online for anyone to download.
Let me take a minute to explain exactly what's inside each module.
Module 1 is called The Truth About Insomnia.
Inside, you'll discover the real, medical reasons for your insomnia.
You'll find out…
Module 2: The Quick & Dirty Guide to Fall Asleep in 15 Minutes or Less
Now it's time to get really get started. This module is all about getting to sleep quick, and saying goodbye to those miserable nights of lying awake.
It's packed with 15 tricks to tell your brain it's time to sleep.
Inside, you'll find…
That's why module 3 is: 3 Steps to Balance Your Brain Chemistry, Fix Your Sleep Schedule, and Cure Insomnia Forever.
This is the most vital section of the Outsmart Insomnia Protocol. There are hundreds of so-called "cures" for insomnia out there, and some of them even work… but only for a few weeks.
What you're about to see is the only long-term solution to insomnia.
All it takes is 3 steps:
The steps in this module will have you sleeping normally again, but there's still one part left…
Module 4: The Neuroscientist's Secrets to Deep, Satisfying Sleep and Waking Up Refreshed.
These are the secrets to making your sleep count.
Remember Ryan's explanation of REM and NREM sleep? Sleep by itself doesn't actually rejuvenate you. It's only deep sleep – Stage 3 Deep NREM Sleep – that lets you wake up feeling "like a million bucks."
Each module of the Outsmart Insomnia Protocol is packed full of scientifically proven methods to slow down activity in the wake center of your brain so you can fall asleep quickly and spend the maximum amount of time in Stage 3 NREM deep sleep.
The stress, fear, and anxiety that used to hit me when I thought about going to bed are gone. Now I look forward to relaxing in bed as I drift off to sleep – usually within 15 minutes! And now I wake up each morning feeling well-rested, refreshed, and ready to go!
Imagine how it would feel to actually be excited to go to bed, knowing you would fall asleep quick, sleep deeply, and wake up "bright eyed and bushy tailed."
$1,000? $10,000?
Since it could likely save you $100,000s in medical bills from insomnia-related problems, maybe even more?
Well, Ryan and I knew this was valuable, but we weren't about to take advantage of people.
So we broke down the Outsmart Insomnia Protocol and looked at what other places were charging.
Module 1: The Truth About Insomnia would cost around $35 in the store.
Module 2: The Quick & Dirty Guide to Fall Asleep in 15 Minutes or Less would be about $47.
Module 3: 3 Steps to Balance Your Brain Chemistry, Fix Your Sleep Schedule, and Cure Insomnia Forever would cost $39.
And Module 4: The Neuroscientist's Secrets to Deep, Satisfying Sleep and Waking Up Refreshed would be about $53 retail.
That's a total of $174.
Keep in mind, the research at the core of the Outsmart Insomnia Protocol is brand new. Before now, every "cure" for insomnia was only temporary.Other guides cost this much, and they don't even fix your insomnia long-term.
On the other hand,
Most people we talked to said that curing their insomnia would be worth $1,000s.
But Ryan and I want to spread the word quickly, so everyone can see that there's finally a safe, real, permanent cure for insomnia.
In fact, we set a goal to help 1 million people Outsmart their Insomnia.
To reach that goal, we're cutting the $174 price down to only $37.
That's a savings of $140.
But this special $37 price is only available until we reach our goal (and we're well on our way, so make sure to get it before the price goes up).
And we're so confident in the research backing these techniques, that we're offering a 60 Day, No Questions Asked, Money Back Guarantee.
If for any reason you're not satisfied, just request a refund through Clickbank, or email me directly, and you'll be refunded 100% of your money.
We're offering this guarantee, because every day we hear stories from people like…
Walter Mason, from New Mexico, who said:
"My insomnia almost cost me my career. I worked in a fast paced office, but for years I struggled with getting sleep, so I could never focus. Then my boss gave me a month to get my act together, or I was fired. Thank goodness I found the Outsmart Insomnia Protocol. I use the techniques inside, and my insomnia practically disappeared overnight! I saved my job, and now I'm enjoying life more than ever."
Or Becca Saunders, from New York, who said:
"Insomnia made me feel gross. I felt sick all the time, and I looked like an old woman, even though I'm only 33! All I wanted was to go out and enjoy my hobbies, and to feel confident doing it. A friend introduced me to the Outsmart Insomnia Protocol, and everything changed. I immediately started sleeping better, and that sick feeling went away.
Or Michael Davidson, from California, who said:
"My insomnia came out of nowhere. I was 35 when it started. My family didn't understand why all of a sudden I wasn't as happy as I used to be. I was just too tired! I found the Outsmart Insomnia Protocol, used the techniques inside, and right away my insomnia disappeared. Now I feel better, and my family's thrilled I'm back."

Imagine sleeping through the night, and waking up feeling like you could take on the world, because you just experienced the most refreshing sleep of your life.

Imagine feeling your health return. You'll be able to take trips and enjoy your hobbies like you used to. People will notice you losing weight and looking younger, and they'll want to know your secret.
But the only secret will be that you've finally shaken off what's been holding you back… you've finally outsmarted your insomnia.
Now, the way I see it, you've got three options:
Option number one: you don't change anything. You keep struggling with insomnia, feeling sick and exhausted all the time, ruining your relationships with your family and friends, and steadily destroying your health. Give up and accept that you'll be miserable the rest of your life.
Or you can try option number two: Try to fix the problem yourself. Maybe pick up a different book on insomnia that – if you're lucky – will work for a few weeks. Maybe try sleeping pills, which are dangerous, and don't last long either. You'll have the same depressing life as option 1, only now you wasted time, effort, and money.
And then there's option three: Get instant access to the Outsmart Insomnia Protocol right now, and get rid of insomnia forever. Use the techniques inside like the "Sleepy Numbers" Breathing Method, the Stress-Free Tomorrow Protocol, and the Sleep Schedule Solution.

IP address subranges within this IP range
IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.

decided: November 2, 1973.
J. M. WOOD, JR., P. E. BOWERS, AND A. ROBERT LOWRY, PLAINTIFFS-APPELLANTS,v.CHARLES LESLIE DENNIS, DEFENDANT-APPELLEE
Reargued en banc June 1, 1973. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. No. 72 C 362 ALEXANDER J. NAPOLI, Judge.
Swygert, Chief Judge, Knoch, Senior Circuit Judge, and Kiley, Fairchild, Cummings, Pell, Stevens, and Sprecher, Circuit Judges. Stevens, Circuit Judge (concurring in the result). Knoch, Senior Circuit Judge (dissenting).
Author: Pell
PELL, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiffs Wood, Bowers, and Lowry appeal from the dismissal of their complaint by the district court. The district court held that it lacked jurisdiction over the subject matter of the action under the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, the Landrum-Griffin Act (29 U.S.C. § 401, et seq.), and that plaintiffs' membership rights in the union had not been violated. Further, the court found the complaint premature "because of plaintiffs' failure to invoke and exhaust required, reasonable, fair and adequate internal Union procedures and remedies."
The complaint contained four counts. All four counts relate to the removal of Lowry from his position as President of the Transportation-Communication Division (hereinafter "T-C Division") of the Brotherhood of Railway, Airline and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Station Employees (hereinafter "BRAC") by defendant Dennis, the President of BRAC.
The allegations of the complaint indicate the following. Lowry, as President of the Transportation-Communication Employees Union, had negotiated a merger of that union with BRAC. Among the provisions of the merger agreement was one to the effect that the President of the T-C Division of BRAC would be elected independently by the Division's members and the Division "would continue to handle the affairs of the members of that Division on a basis almost completely the same as at present." Further, it was provided that the President of the T-C Division would be an International Vice President of BRAC and a member of the Executive Council and Finance Committee of BRAC. Lowry began to have disagreements with Dennis, the President of BRAC, as to the operation of the merger agreement. The complaint then alleges that by various acts, both direct and indirect, Dennis had deprived Lowry of his duties and finally of his post entirely.
Count I of the complaint is brought by Wood and Bowers as members in good standing of the T-C Division of BRAC. They contend that the removal of the duly-elected President of the T-C Division constituted a violation of their membership rights protected by Section 101(a)(1) of the LMRDA, 29 U.S.C. § 411(a)(1),*fn1 in that their voting rights had been nullified. Jurisdiction was invoked under Section 102 of the LMRDA, 29 U.S.C. § 412.*fn2
In Count II, plaintiff Lowry contends that his removal from office was discipline for his exercise of his rights as a member of the union, in that he had been "expressing his views, arguments and opinions with regard to the rights of the members of the T-C Division of BRAC guaranteed to them under the terms of the aforesaid Merger Agreement; and because plaintiff advised defendant on or around May 23, 1971, that plaintiff intended to become a candidate for the position of International President of BRAC at the expiration of the defendant's current term of office in 1975." This activity on the part of the defendant was alleged to violate Sections 101(a)(2) and 609 of the Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 411(a)(2), 529.*fn3 Counts III and IV are pendent jurisdiction claims brought by Lowry for violation of the BRAC Constitution and malicious slander respectively. Inasmuch as we consider the issues presented by Count II to contain the most significance in the present appeal, as did the parties, we shall begin our analysis with that count.
The principal controversy between the parties is the question of how the language of Section 609 of the LMRDA should be construed. Plaintiff Lowry reads Section 609's prohibition "to fine, suspend, expel, or otherwise discipline any of its members for exercising any right to which he is entitled under the provisions of this Act" (emphasis added) as encompassing removal from a union office. Defendant Dennis contends that this court's construction of similar language in Section 101(a)(5), 29 U.S.C. § 411(a)(5),*fn4 which excluded from its purview protection of the right to hold union office, Air Line Stewards and Stewardesses Association v. Transport Workers Union, 334 F.2d 805, 808 (7th Cir. 1964), cert. denied, 379 U.S. 972, 13 L. Ed. 2d 563, 85 S. Ct. 648 (1965), should be applied to the words "or otherwise discipline" in Section 609.
The gravamen of Count II of plaintiffs' complaint is the attempt to chill Lowry's Title I right of free speech and right to stand for office by the improper discipline of removing him from his union office. In our opinion, the claim of Count II does state a cause of action under the LMRDA. In reaching this conclusion, we join the numerous courts who have adopted the statutory interpretation enunciated in Grand Lodge of Int'l Ass'n of Machinists v. King, 335 F.2d 340 (9th Cir. 1964), cert. denied, 379 U.S. 920, 85 S. Ct. 274, 13 L. Ed. 2d 334.*fn5 No point would be served by further extended exegesis on this subject as we regard Judge Browning's opinion for the Ninth Circuit to be an excellent analysis of the relevant legislative history.
Air Line Stewards, upon which Dennis relies, is clearly distinguishable, involving an issue not here present as to whether § 101(a)(5) precludes summary removal of a member from union office. Nevertheless, since the words "or otherwise discipline" were read by this court in Air Line Stewards as having a restricted meaning in § 101(a)(5) not including removal from union office, we initially find it necessary to consider the defendant's argument that the same words in another section, § 609 of the same statute, should perforce have the same meaning. This argument was presented to the court in King, and we agree with the Ninth Circuit that it is a plausible one. We also agree, however, with that court when it said, "but it is also common experience that identical words may be used in the same statute, or even in the same section of a statute, with quite different meanings. And when they are, it is the duty of the courts to give the words 'the meaning which the Legislature intended [they] should have in each instance.' Atlantic Cleaners & Dyers, Inc. v. United States, 286 U.S. 427, 433, 52 S. Ct. 607, 609, 76 L. Ed. 1204 (1932)." 335 F.2d at 344-45. (Other citations in accord in footnote omitted.) To the same effect, see the dissenting opinion in Alberto-Culver Company v. Scherk, 484 F.2d 611, (7th Cir. 1973), Slip Op. at 11.
The words of Mr. Justice Frankfurter are apposite: "Exact formulation of the issue before us is necessary to avoid inadvertent pronouncement on statutory language in one context when the same language may require separate consideration in other settings." Automatic Canteen Company v. Federal Trade Commission, 346 U.S. 61, 65, 97 L. Ed. 1454, 73 S. Ct. 1017 (1953).
The court in King, particularly noting the legislative gloss on § 101(a)(5), reached the same result with regard to that section as did this court in Air Line Stewards. The court then proceeded with an analysis of the different purposes and rationales of the two sections, which analysis we adopt without repeating it herein, and concluded that punishment of a member by removing him from office if the punishment was for the proper exercise of rights guaranteed under §§ 101(a)(1) and (2) was the subject of redress under the enforcement provision, Section 609. "Punishment for the exercise of these rights is prohibited by section 609 whether inflicted summarily or after a full panoply of procedural protections." King, supra at 345. As indicated in King, this result is consistent with the legislative history.
Defendant also relies on Sheridan v. United Brotherhood of Carpenters & Joiners of America, Local No. 626, 306 F.2d 152 (3d Cir. 1962), which case the King court considered. As that court noted, 335 F.2d at 347 n. 31, Judge Kalodner's opinion in Sheridan was not joined in by the other two members of the panel. Judge Hastie concurred in the result upon a different ground and Judge McLaughlin dissented. Sheridan, therefore, represents the views of a single judge of the Third Circuit.
It is true the Third Circuit in Martire v. Laborers' Local Union 1058, 410 F.2d 32 (3d Cir. 1969), cert. denied, 396 U.S. 903, 24 L. Ed. 2d 179, 90 S. Ct. 216, stated that it adhered to the ruling of Sheridan; however, the opinion was written by Judge Kalodner and did find a limited nexus between the Act-guaranteed rights of membership and the holding of union office. The decision would accord the right to utilize the remedies of the Act to assert the right to hold office in the future but would find the right nonexistent where the member was removed from office. Finally, it is noted that insofar as the latter matter is concerned, the court's holding was that the plaintiff ...
