Honored With Oil History Award

During their June 19-21 Oil History Symposium conducted in Bradford, the nationwide non-profi t Petroleum History Institute presented a total of seven awards to PHI members and other oil/gas industry leaders at their Annual Awards Banquet held at the Pennhills Club. Willard M. “Bill” Cline received the 2014 Colonel Edwin L. Drake Legendary Oilman Award, which honors a lifetime of achievement within the oil and gas indus-try. Mr. Cline has been an oil producer in the Bradford Field since 1946. A resident of Bradford, PA following military ser-vice in the Navy during World War II, Mr.

Cline is presently President of Cline Oil, Inc. after more than 60 years as a sole pro-prietor. He is known as an avid champion of small independent oil and gas operators in the Keystone state and is a leader within the Pennsylvania Independent Petroleum Producers Association (PIPP). The Legendary Oilman Award was pre-sented to Mr. Cline by his grandson Braxx Price-Edmonson who submitted the nomi-nation for this highest award provided by PHI. Joining high school student Braxx in congratulatory remarks were Congress-man Glenn Thompson, Bradford Mayor Tom Riel, son Mark Cline, Sr., and spouse Joyce Cline. Joining in the festivities were many relatives, friends, and fellow independent producers from throughout

5 ¢ENTS WORTH by Grant Nichols It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist

“The Border” -by Bob Perry Politicians continually play political football with the border and both of the major parties play the game. The demands range from a fence along the border with the Mexican border to open borders. Building a fence that cov-ers the entire border is a bit unfeasible and not really needed. President Obama made hundreds of promises as a presidential candidate and has kept but a few. In 2008 he stated “We can’t just have hundreds of thousands of people coming into the country without knowing who they are.” Additionally he promised to address im-migration during his fi rst term in offi ce. The promise was not kept and an immi-gration policy would have been enacted during his fi rst two years in offi ce had he kept his promise. Now that a mid-term election is upon us, Obama is threatening executive action which, and this virtually guarantees a com-prehensive immigration, will not see the light of day for the foreseeable future. As a excessive demagogue, Obama is blam-ing the absence of a comprehensive policy on election efforts and the Republicans in an effort to aid Democrats in their election efforts. At this time Obama is asking for 2 Bil-lion dollars to throw at the problem. Big spender indeed! The humanitarian crisis we witness on the border at this time was

created by Obama with his rhetoric “If you come you can stay,” and the cartels in Mexico have seized on the issue pro-viding safe passage for migration of Cen-tral America immigrants, (mostly children without parents), to set their feet on US soil and the cost is in the thousands of dol-lars; sums the people can ill afford. The push is to recognize the illegal immigrants as ‘refugees’ which would guarantee pro-tection from deportation until, and unless, determined otherwise. Is the answer to build a fence at a pro-hibitive cost and not only to build but also to police it? As I have stated numerous times before, the pen is mightier than the sword and by creating legislation that once and for all states that there is an exist-ing immigration procedure and if anyone comes here illegally they ‘forever forfeit’ the right to become a citizen of the United states of America. Note that existing policy provides pro-tections for immigrants seeking excep-tions like asylum, etc. This crisis at the border is but one of the crises facing our country and since there are no obvious ef-forts to resolve these issues, it may well be part of a grand plan to create as many cri-ses as possible to bring about civil strife. Is this part of the progressive plan? The next two and a half years will be critical.

We made some interesting observa-tions during our rounds for the photos to be displayed in this issue of the Bradford Journal. At the Bradford Area Public Li-brary (B.A.P.L.) our subjects, regardless of age, told us they liked the atmosphere there, referring to the non complicated, quiet, easy going surrounds; and that this pleasant ambience was one of the reasons that they used the library. Many could have been using their computers at home, or in one of the fast food restaurants where Wi-Fi is also available to them, but they didn’t- they simply preferred to work with their heads and on their computers, within the library surroundings……. Later in the day, along Congress Street, we met up with Rev. Higgins, who mentioned that he’d had been a minister for 12 years. He told us that “his church” met in an in-formal manner, in the homes of his rela-tives and friends. We would think that the little family/friend type churches found around this country during the seven-teenth through 19th centuries, would have disappeared, but they are apparently alive and well……. And fi nally, while tak-ing our last two photos at Arby’s Res-taurant, we noticed that people from far and wide, had stopped there to enjoy a variety of popular menu items. For ex-ample, we asked around and found that two tables of guests were from Olean, one from Coudersport, and one table was from Tennessee. About half the people in the Restaurant, while we were photo-graphing, were from out of town…….The Bradford Area High School Alumni As-sociation (BAHSAA) is presently hard at work establishing the exact time, date, menu and program for this year’s biennial dinner get-together, sched-uled for the beginning of October. The last we heard, they were planning for en-trée’s of Stuffed Boneless Chicken Breast, Broiled Haddock, and Swiss Steak, with an approximate $27.00 dinner tab, to be held at the Bradford Club, from approxi-mately 5-9PM. All graduating classes and faculty from Bradford Area High School and their friends are welcome to become members of the BAHSAA, and join them for regular meetings, planning meetings, or simply once every couple years for the dinner…….The effects of excessive timbering and/or subsequent improp-er anti-erosion procedures on the hills around Bradford is especially notice-able following rain storms. Highways, roads and lawns, are now fl ooded in the townships; and streets are fl ooded in Bradford City. One can only wonder, who should be paying for the damage? Does anyone care enough to speak up and address the problem?

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESWhat to Do if You Inherit Someone’s 401(k)

-by Jason Alderman Talk about good news wrapped in bad: In the midst of grieving the loss of a loved one, you learn that you were named benefi ciary of their 401(k) plan. Chances are you’ve got too much on your mind to make any sudden deci-sions about what to do with the money. However, don’t procrastinate too long. The IRS has ironclad rules, deadlines and penalties concerning inherited re-tirement accounts, which vary depend-ing on what type of account it is. This column discusses inherited 401(k) and similar employer-provided plans. Under federal law, surviving spouses automatically inherit their spouse’s 401(k) plan unless someone else was named benefi ciary and the surviving spouse signed a written waiver. If some-one is single at death, their plan’s assets go to their designated benefi ciary. The IRS has basic tax and distribu-tion rules and timetables for inherited 401(k) plans. However, the plans them-selves are allowed to set more restric-tive guidelines if they choose, so read the plan documents carefully. Basical-ly: You must pay income tax on distribu-tions (except for Roth accounts, which have already been taxed), although you may be able to spread out withdraw-als and tax payments over a number of years, depending on how you structure it. Many 401(k) plans require benefi -ciaries to withdraw the money in either a lump sum or separate payments ex-tending no longer than fi ve years after the person’s death; however, some will allow you to keep the money in the plan indefi nitely, so check their rules. Note that distributions will be add-ed to your taxable income for the year, which can greatly increase your tax bite. Thus, many people prefer to spread the payments out as long as possible. Plus, the longer funds remain in the account, the longer they accrue earnings, tax-free. If the original account holder had al-ready reached the mandatory withdraw-al age of 70 ½, you may be allowed to continue withdrawing funds according to his or her withdrawal schedule. Your minimum annual withdrawal amount is based on your own life expectancy, according to IRS tables (see Appendix C in IRS Publication 590 at www.irs.gov). Alternatively, you could speed up the payment schedule or take a lump sum. You may also be able to transfer your balance into an “inherited IRA,” which must be named and maintained separately from your other IRAs. With an inherited IRA, you must withdraw a certain amount each year, based on your life expectancy. Distributions

must begin the year following the do-nor’s death, regardless of whether or not you’re retired. Make sure the 401(k) trustee trans-fers funds directly to the inherited IRA’s trustee so you never touch the money; otherwise the transfer may be voided and you’ll have to pay taxes on the en-tire sum that year. Surviving spouses have an addition-al option: Instead of opening an inher-ited IRA, they’re also allowed to do a “spousal rollover,” which means roll-ing over the balance into an existing or new IRA in their own name. The key advantage of a spousal rollover is that

you don’t have to begin taking manda-tory withdrawals until you reach 70 ½, unlike inherited IRAs where you must begin withdrawals the year after the do-nor’s death. One last point: Always withdraw at least the required minimum distribu-tion (RMD) amount each year, if one is specifi ed. If not, you’ll pay a penalty equal to 50 percent of the difference be-tween the RMD and what you actually withdrew. Bottom line: Talk to a fi nancial or legal expert before taking any action on your inheritance.

Renowned Dermatologist Provides Tips To Protect Your Skin This Summer

(NAPSI)—After a grueling winter, summer is fi nally here and Americans across the country are trading their heavier layers for lighter wear. Wheth-er your idea of fun in the sun is a pic-nic at the park, hiking, volleyball on the beach or grilling in the backyard, it’s important to be mindful of one outer layer in particular: your skin. As seen on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and NBC’s “TODAY”, board-certifi ed dermatologist, Dr. Jeanine Downie, of-fers these easy tips to help protect your skin while you embrace warm weather activities. 1. Apply sunscreen with SPF of 30 or higher at least 30 minutes before sun time. Make sure to reapply every two hours. 2. Add sunscreen to tips of ears, part lines of scalp and tops of the knees and feet-areas that often get forgotten. 3. Always wear UVA/UVB sun-glasses to avoid sun’s radiation and po-tentially long-term damage to eyes and the skin around them. 4. Wear tightly woven clothing and wide-brim hats for more sun protec-tion. Look for UPF clothing above 30. 5. Do not scratch! Bug bites will take longer to heal, may heal in a dark mark and could get infected. Instead, pack Cortizone-10 Intensive Healing Formula, which contains the #1 doctor-recommended medicine* for treating itchy skin. The extra-creamy formu-la goes on smoothly and relieves itch quickly while helping to heal the skin issue. It is proven to moisturize for 24 hours** with 7 moisturizers and 3 skin-nurturing vitamins. 6. Skin needs hydration. Drink water regularly, especially in the heat. Plan ahead and freeze water in reusable wa-ter bottles. As the day goes on, the ice

American Institute for Cancer Research Q. Is it true that getting more sleep could help me lose weight? A: If you are already getting adequate sleep (six, seven or up to eight hours a night), getting more sleep is unlikely to help you lose weight. However, if like many people you are currently getting too little sleep, more shut-eye might help. A 2008 analysis of studies found that adults who get less than six hours of sleep are about 55 percent more likely to be obese. These associations can’t prove that lack of sleep is what caused excess weight. Yet several studies that followed peo-ple for ten to twenty years do link getting less than six or seven hours of sleep a night with greater likelihood of weight gain. Short-term trials tie lack of sleep to changes in hormones that control appetite and to greater perception of hunger. In one recent study, sleep deprivation produced changes in brain activity in the “reward center,” which could explain links between lack of sleep and preference for sweets and other high-calorie foods. If too little sleep leaves you too tired to be physically active, or more likely to turn to sweets and other foods to perk up your energy, it could increase the calories you consume and decrease calories burned, thus leading to weight gain. On a practical basis, if you stay up late, then more time awake means more time available for eating. Note that it’s getting the right amount of sleep that supports healthy weight. In a study of more than 120,000 people, getting more than eight hours of sleep a night was also linked to long-term weight gain. These links, while important, were small compared to links with changes in eating and physi-cal activity. In other words, keep your focus on healthy habits overall. Get the sleep you need to live a lifestyle that supports health, including a healthy weight.

Thompson provided a Congressional Resolution to Mr. Golubock as well. Paul R. Plants also received the 2014 Colonel Edwin L. Drake Legendary Oil-man Award, honoring his career since 1970 in the oil and natural gas industries, ever since teaming with the late Calvin “George” Goodwin to form Plants and Goodwin Company which is now incor-porated as Plants and Goodwin, Inc. and drills and services wells, as well as trans-porting crude oil, for numerous produc-ers in southwestern New York State and northwestern Pennsylvania.

Five Ways A Power Outage Can Cost You Money (NAPSI)—Despite increases in their frequency and severity, power outages are still viewed by many people as merely in-convenient. Short outages—perhaps four hours or less—certainly fall within that category. Beyond that, power outages can start to cost you a lot of money. Here are fi ve ways an extended power outage can impact your checkbook: • Lost refrigerated and frozen goods. The USDA recommends throwing away refrigerated foods stored for more than two hours at over 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Because refrigerators and freezers can’t stay cold without electricity, an extended power outage can cost you hundreds in spoiled and wasted food. • Damage to your home. Without a sump pump to keep the basement dry, air-conditioning to prevent moisture and mold, or heat to keep pipes from freezing, you could suffer damage to your home in

the thousands of dollars. • Expenses from staying at a hotel or eating out. If you have no heat or running water, you might have to move the family into a hotel for a night or two. Add restau-rant tabs to that and you’ve lost another couple hundred dollars. • Additional costs for short-term goods. If you choose to remain in your home, you will need to invest in batteries for radios and fl ashlights, coolers to store food, and ice to keep that food cold. • Loss of income. Depending on the im-pact on your home and family, you might have to spend a few days away from work. If you work from home, you stand to re-ally lose income during a power outage.

Work Outside? Beat the Heat! (NAPSI)—Thousands of people be-come sick each year and some even die from working in the heat. Heat illness most affects those who have not built up a physical tolerance to heat, and is especially dangerous for workers in agriculture, construction and transpor-tation. Working in hot weather can raise body temperatures past the level that normally can be cooled by sweating. Heat illness may initially appear in the form of heat rash or heat cramps—but can turn into heat exhaustion or heat stroke if preventative measures are not followed. If your job requires working long hours outdoors this summer, make sure your employer is taking the necessary (and easy to provide) steps to keep you safe, including: scheduling frequent water breaks, providing shaded areas, and allowing enough time to rest. Re-member this simple message to pre-vent heat illness: Water. Rest. Shade. Want more information? The De-partment of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has a free “app” for mobile devices, that

can help. The app uses the temperature and heat index at your worksite, and displays risk levels, signs and symp-toms of heat illness and what to do in case of emergency. The app, along with other important information (in English and Spanish) is available at osha.gov/heat

How Small Businesses Can Adapt To The New World Of Work (NAPSI)—Just as social media and mobile technologies are changing how individuals connect with friends and family, they are also changing how consumers and businesses interact. For small businesses to respond faster to change and deliver better customer ex-periences, they need to work like a net-work so they can listen, adapt and grow in new ways. Gone are the days when customers would write a letter to a company if they weren’t pleased with the service they received. Now they just take to post-ing on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media channels to vent their displeasure. Today’s customers demand better service, and companies need to adapt to this changing world. There are four trends driving the transformation of the workplace: • Information overload. Data is abundant, and employees need to make sense of it all and translate to action. • Power of the network. Network technology enables people to access in-formation and insights from both inter-nal and external sources in real time. • Flexible work styles. Companies and employees are adopting more fl ex-ible and mobile work styles, making

physical workspace less important and collaboration tools more important. • Distributed teams. People work across organizational and geographical boundaries to get things done. At the center of it all, social tech-nologies are making it easier for com-panies to stay ahead of these trends and become more responsive organizations. Social technologies are transforming businesses for the better in many ways, by enhancing the way employees work together, as well as how companies in-teract with clients and customers. For example, companies that want to do a better job of communicating with employees and enabling employees to share information and insights with one another in real time are choosing to roll out social network solutions. One such option is Yammer, a private social en-terprise network for businesses that’s designed to help employees connect

and collaborate across departments, lo-cations and business apps to get things done. Businesses that want to do a better job of managing customer relationships are turning to customer relationship management over the Internet—such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, software that provides customer in-sights so businesses can serve them better. It helps businesses of all sizes to manage contacts, monitor social me-dia activity, and manage the sales cycle with new and existing customers. Finally, companies that want to cre-ate a more fl exible work environment are turning to cloud productivity solu-tions such as Offi ce 365. It was created to make it possible for businesses to connect people to information and each other more quickly than ever before. To learn more, visit: https://about.yammer.com/product/offi ce365

World Travel on the RiseAccording to the airline industry association A4A, air travel is expected torise to its highest level in six years this summer, with a record number ofpeople travelling internationally. However, if you count yourself amongthose travelers — perhaps one of the estimated hundreds of thousands of Americans headed to Brazil for the World Cup — are you prepared tostay connected with friends and family back home and easily share youradventures with them?

Many travelers hit the road expecting to use their smartphones abroad inthe same way they use them at home, relying on them for navigation, usingtheir favorite apps for travel tips and freely posting pictures to social media.But many are unclear about international roaming costs and coverage.

“For those who do travel or call overseas, it’s hugely expensive orrequires all kinds of workarounds to avoid the huge fees,” said Ovumanalyst Jan Dawson. “So this is a real pain point for some customers, at least.”

A recent Kelton survey confirmed a high level of exasperation that inter -national travelers feel when journeying abroad. Here are some of the results:

� Nearly everyone surveyed (88 percent) reported being frustrated by theexpenses and challenges of staying connected while abroad.

� Among customers of the big three carriers, nearly 20 percent leavetheir devices at home or never turn them on while travelling outside the U.S.

� Another 40 percent turn off data roaming to avoid high costs, and 20percent say they would turn off data roaming if they knew how.

Make Sure You’re PreparedSo, before you head off on your summer journey, T-Mobile wants to make sureyou’re armed with the best mobile tech tips for staying connected internation -ally. These ideas can save you from unnecessary headaches and a ton of moneyalong the way.

� Check your coverage: Before you travel, make sure you know the networkspecifications and international data rates for your carrier in the placeswhere you’re travelling. Be sure to make adjustments if necessary to avoidcostly surprises in your bill when you return.

� Find the best international plan: Look for carriers, such as T-Mobile forexample, that provide unlimited data and texting in 120-plus countries anddestinations worldwide with their Simple Choice plan, freeing you fromthe worry of coming home to bill shock from outrageous roaming fees.Because most carriers tack 90 percent margins into their global roamingplans, many consumers see their costs total more than $1,000 a day whenthey use their phones abroad the way they normally do at home. Last Fall,T-Mobile launched international data roaming and texting at no extracharge — plus slashed calls to a low flat rate of 20 cents a minute — inmore than 120 countries and destinations worldwide.

� Explore the extras: Prepaid international calling cards may also be avail -able through your wireless provider. Also, special day or week passes canget you access to high speed data or additional services.

� Don’t forget insurance: In case your device gets lost, stolen or damagedalong the way, be sure to secure an insurance plan to protect it.

Travel blogger Summer Hull of Boarding Area’s Mommy Points column notesher own personal experience with trying to stay connected while abroad.

“I am honestly sick of having to jump through so many hoops and keep suchclose tabs on usage internationally with other providers,” said Hull. “I’m alsosick of the big bills that come with having international add-ons. This T-Mobileapproach sounds so much, well, simpler.”

Vacation-worthy Devices and AccessoriesHere is a list of the smartphones, tablets and accessories to take with you tokeep up with your summer travel needs:

� Samsung Galaxy S5: This water-resistant phone is perfect for all youroutdoor activities and includes a story album to journal your travels withpictures and notes that can be published as actual books.

� HTC One M8: The highlights for this device include Boomsound forlistening to music outside, HTC Duo Camera for taking brilliant day ornight shots and Zoe for creating mini-movies in seconds.

� Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition: A lightweight and durabletablet that allows you to take your games, music, movies and socialnetwork virtually anywhere you go. For affordable data, the T-MobileTablet Freedom program allows you to get more than a gig of free dataevery month through 2014 and 200 MB of free data for life every monthafter that.

� Samsung LTE Mobile HotSpot PRO: This half-inch-thick device expandsyour mobile freedom, allowing you to take the Internet with you on yourqualifying service. Plus, you can share your connection with up to 10 otherInternet devices.

� TYLT Zumo Portable Battery Pack: Did you finish up a long day ofsightseeing? Don’t get caught with a dead device. This portable packprovides up to four hours of extra battery life.

With these tips in mind, summer travel can go back to being a carefree experi -ence. For more information, visit www.t-mobile.com.

Worry-free WirelessTravel AbroadFollowing are a few simple tips fromT-Mobile to help keep your travels ontrack and free of complications:

� Pack the essentials: Thisincludes portable chargers, aninternational power converterand MicroSD cards to give youadded storage space for photosand more.

� Travel safe: Use features such as Bluetooth for hands-freedriving while navigating thetwists and turns of unfamiliarroads, or applications like T-Mobile’s DriveSmart Plus, which silences incoming noti -fications, sending callers tovoicemail and auto-responds to incoming text messages.

� Make packing light: Use amulti-function smartphone thatallows you to access entertain -ment with videos and games,mobile music player, GPSnavigator, high quality digitalcamera, and in some cases, evena mobile hotspot.

Best Apps for TravelCheck out these leading apps to helpyou navigate a successful journey:

� GateGuru (Android, iOS,Windows Phone): Especiallyhelpful when traveling withchildren, GateGuru can locatekid-friendly restaurants, cleanpublic restrooms and more.

� Unit Conversion Free,Currency (iOS, but others areavailable for most platforms):Converts temperature, distance,weight, volume, speed and more,including currency in real time.

Best Bets for BrazilAre you heading to the World Cup? Here are some tips to makeyour travel a little easier:

� The World Cup is spread over 12 host cities, so it’s probablybest to decide which games are must-watch and plot out anitinerary around a convenient home base in one of the cities.

� With hotel rooms likely already booked or at a premiumprice, consider alternate, more affordable forms of housing. In addition to couchsurfing and Airbnb, Fodor’s recommendsAlexRioFlats, or family-run guesthouses or pousadas, which are an authentic way to experience the different regions ofBrazil and can be booked via online travel sites likeHiddenPousadasBrazil.com.

� To get around Brazil — which is just slightly smaller than the U.S. in area — it’s easiest to travel by bus or domesticflights. If you choose to travel by bus, you can purchase ticketsin the bus stations, or online from Rodoviariaonline.com orPassagemRapida.com. Domestic airlines include TAM andGOL, as well as TRIP Azul Linhas Aereas, Brazil’s newestairline, with service to about 100 domestic destinations.

� Can’t make it to the match? Then join fellow futbol fans andbe part of “El Gran Pase,” a website in which viewers submit avideo showcasing their best kick of the soccer ball. You couldbe included in the longest pass in the world, alongside soccerfanatics like Jorge “Soccer Machine” Perez and Shakira.

Getting Enough Sleep Is As Critical To Overall Health As Diet And Exercise (NAPSI)—Like many Americans, you may spend hours at the gym, choose all the right foods and think you’re in peak health—but you could be missing a vital part of the equation. If you’re not sleeping seven to nine hours each night, you’re unlikely to achieve optimal health, according to the National Healthy Sleep Aware-ness Project, a collaboration of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Sleep Re-search Society (SRS). The group aims to promote awareness of the dangers of chronic sleep loss and untreated sleep illness to encourage measurable behav-ior changes. “The urgency of our message cannot be overstated: Sleep is a necessity, not a luxury and the pursuit of healthy sleep should be one of our top priorities,” says Dr. Safwan Badr, national spokes-person for the Healthy Sleep project. “Suffi cient sleep is one of the three pil-lars of a healthy lifestyle-as important as good nutrition and regular exercise.” CDC data indicate that 28 percent of U.S. adults sleep six hours or less in a 24-hour period. Poor sleep increases the risk of physical and mental health problems, mortality, accidents, injuries and disability. “Poor sleep has a cumulative impact on nearly every key indicator of pub-lic health, including obesity, hyperten-sion and diabetes,” says Janet B. Croft, PhD, senior chronic disease epidemiol-ogist in CDC’s Division of Population Health. “Healthy sleep is a vital sign of good health.” How do you know if you’re getting enough sleep? The Healthy Sleep pro-ject recommends these tips: Quantity: Get seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Most adults need at least seven hours of nightly sleep for optimal health and productivity. Set a regular bedtime that is early enough for you to get a full night of sleep. A recent CDC study linked too little sleep (six hours or less) with chronic diseases—including coronary heart disease, dia-betes, anxiety and obesity. Quality: Ensure that the quality of your sleep is good. Avoid anything that can lead to fi tful, interrupted sleep. “It’s important to understand that both the quality and quantity of sleep affect your health,” said SRS President Janet Mullington, PhD. “Alcohol, caf-feine and some medications can leave you tossing, turning and waking up feeling unrefreshed despite enough time in bed.” Timing: Follow a consistent sched-ule. Your body sleeps best at night, when it’s dark, and functions best when

you keep a regular bedtime. Try to go to bed at the same time each night and wake up at the same time every morn-ing—even on weekends. Health: Seek help for your sleep problems. Can’t stop snoring? Besides being a nuisance to your bed partner, loud and frequent snoring can be a warning sign for obstructive sleep ap-nea (OSA). OSA is a dangerous, po-tentially life-threatening disease char-acterized by episodes of complete or partial airway obstruction during sleep. At least 25 million adults in the U.S. have OSA and treatment could mean better sleep and improved health.

“Millions of people have an un-treated sleep illness that prevents them from getting the best sleep,” says Badr. “Treating a sleep problem can be life-changing, helping you to be healthier and happier.” If you have diffi culty falling or stay-ing asleep or wake up feeling exhaust-ed, speak with a board-certifi ed sleep medicine physician, who has the train-ing and expertise to diagnose and treat sleep illness.

Five Secrets About Head Lice Every Parent Should Know

(NAPSI)—A nightmare common among parents with school-age children is one your family can avoid. The Problem A notice comes home from school about an outbreak of head lice. Head lice infesta-tion is the most frequent health issue (after the common cold) facing children ages 3 to 11, with 12 million cases reported in the U.S. annually. A growing number of “lice clinics” have opened across the country, but with the right information and new in-novations in treatment, parents can also address the problem at home. Expert Advice Anna Warren, owner of the Asheville Lice Treatment Center in North Carolina, advises school nurses, teachers and par-ents on how to respond in the case of an outbreak. Warren says these fi ve facts and tips can help you save time, worry and money, not to mention the misuse of po-tentially harmful pesticides. • Today’s pesticide-based products have become largely ineffective. Lice have developed resistance to many of the over-the-counter treatments that have been around for years and in certain areas of the country, these “super lice” are the norm. • If the treatment does not kill nits (eggs), it won’t work. The lice life cycle can be diffi cult to break because nits are

hard to eradicate, often leading to pro-longed infestations and a frustrating series of treatments with chemical products that can be harmful if overused. • Recent breakthroughs in pesticide-free products kill lice and nits. New in-novations in lice treatment options have led to effective, pesticide-free consumer products that can eradicate and prevent lice infestation, even among the pesticide-resistant super lice. • A lice comb should be used to remove all lice and nits. A professional-grade steel lice comb should be used to ensure that hair is completely free of any lice and nits post treatment. In fact, a full comb-out performed weekly on your kids is a good habit to start. • A preventative shampoo can break the life cycle. A shampoo that kills lice before they can lay eggs is critical for closing the “bridge” from one head to another. Lice specialists now recommend par-ents seek effective, pesticide-free options. One such product, Vamousse, is made in the U.S. and considered 100 percent ef-fective in killing lice and nits. Available at Walmart and Amazon.com, it also offers a preventative shampoo that can be used daily by the entire family and is safe for children as young as 2.

The arrival of summer, along with its sunny skies and beautiful weather,beckons homeowners to create a space to entertain guests and enjoy thegreat outdoors. Design an outdoor living room that merges style andfunction, and incorporates elements of indoor comfort.

Whether entertaining for two or 10, the warmer weather provides an abundanceof opportunities to lounge in peaceful, open-air surroundings. New offerings indecor and design breathe indoor inspiration into your outdoor spaces, creating abeautiful extension of your home for all to enjoy.

“It’s easier than ever to bring the comfort and style of your favorite indoorspaces into your porch, patio and other outdoor areas,” said Aimee Beatty, in-house stylist with Pier 1 Imports. “From comfy throw pillows to trendy rugs,colorful artwork and cheery curtains, new outdoor products boast durability andso much style that your patio will be the neighborhood’s go-to summer hot spot.”

Beatty shares some of her stylish secrets to make your outdoor space anelegant living space worth sharing.

Arrange awayTreat your outdoor area as you would your living room. If space is limited, usesectionals to create seating in whatever arrangement fits best. If there is moreroom, add an investment piece, such as the Echo Beach Dining Table from Pier 1 Imports. This high-quality piece is made from handcrafted, all-weathersynthetic rattan and offers plenty of space to arrange chairs just as you would in your dining room. Finish the look by layering your favorite accessories, such as handcrafted trays, detailed lanterns and a colorful floral arrangement to create a cheerful centerpiece that makes your guests feel welcome.

Tie it all togetherTo let you in on a little secret — outdoor rugs tie everything together and reallybring a space to life. Simply layer a rug, such as Pier 1 Imports’ chic Wavy GeoRug, with a beautiful seating collection, colorful cushions and pillows, andyou’ve got an outdoor area that makes everyone comfortable and happy.

Embrace the boldSome might be afraid to create a statement outside because — it’s outside. But anoutdoor living space lends itself to adventures with color and pattern, providingthe opportunity to be bold and to go beyond your comfort zone. When shoppingfor the outdoors, remember — anything goes.

Make it uniquely yoursMix and match with color and patterns, and personalize your space with accentssuch as outdoor artwork, planters, umbrellas and more. A smart combination ofaccessories really transforms an outdoor space from simple to fabulous.

Be bright, all nightThe sun may still be shining when the guests arrive, but you’ll need something tolight up the night and keep the party going all evening long. Create a delightful,welcoming atmosphere with a variety of outdoor lighting options, such as stringlights, paper lanterns or floating LED candles placed around the patio. Fashion anelegant glow with lanterns in various sizes, such as the Scroll Trim Lanterns fromPier 1 Imports.

Serve in styleAl fresco entertaining always focuses on food, drinks and friends. A self-servicefood station or bar enhances the casual tone, freeing guests to grab refreshmentswhenever they please. This also allows you, the host, to focus on the fun at hand.Look for serving and drink carts that maximize space, such as the Rania ServingCart from Pier 1 Imports, which has three levels so there’s plenty of room tostash an ice bucket, drink dispenser, snacks, lawn games and more.

So let the warmth of the season bring many memorable moments to your life andstylish elements into your outdoor spaces. For more great decorating ideas, visitwww.pier1.com.

Smart Snacking With Nutritious California Avocados (NAPSI)—Americans’ snacking is on the rise, with snacks making up about half of all eating occasions, ac-cording to a recent report from the Hartman Group. The good news is that snacking can be part of a healthy eat-ing plan, as snacks can provide energy between meals and supply essential nu-trients. Nutrient-dense California avocados, which are only in season from spring to fall, are delicious, good for you and can be an excellent ingredient in just about any snack. The fruit is a naturally nutri-tious super-food, and contributes near-ly 20 vitamins and minerals, along with “good” monounsaturated and polyun-saturated fats, to one’s diet. Addition-ally, California avocados add a creamy and delicious fl avor to snacks or mini-meals without adding sodium or cho-lesterol. Registered Dietitian Katie Ferraro, MPH, RD, CDE, loves incorporating California avocados into meals and snacks for their nutritional benefi ts. She has partnered with the California Avocado Commission to create some easy snack recipes featuring the fruit. “Every year, I look forward to Cali-fornia avocado season, because they lend themselves to so many differ-ent preparations—especially when it comes to snacks,” says Ferraro. She’s come up with some easy snack recipes featuring the fruit. Each recipe has less than 100 calories per serving and can be great for on-the-go snack-ing. For other recipes that feature fresh California avocados, including addi-tional snacking recipes developed by Katie Ferraro, visit the California Avo-cado Commission website at:
