Heartbleed affects ObamaCare enrollment website
People who have accounts on the ObamaCare enrollment website are being told to change their passwords following an administration-wide review of the government's vulnerability to the confounding Heartbleed computer virus.
Senior administration officials said there is no indication that the HealthCare.gov site has been compromised and the action is being taken out of an abundance of caution. The government's Heartbleed review is ongoing, the officials said, and users of other websites may also be told to change their passwords in the coming days, including those with accounts on the popular WhiteHouse.gov petitions page.
The Heartbleed computer bug has caused major security concerns across the Internet and affected a widely used encryption technology that was designed to protect online accounts. Major Internet services have been working to insulate themselves against the bug and are also recommending that users change their website passwords.
Officials said the administration was prioritizing its analysis of websites with heavy traffic and the most sensitive user information. A message that will be posted on the health care website starting Saturday reads: "While there's no indication that any personal information has ever been at risk, we have taken steps to address Heartbleed issues and reset consumers' passwords out of an abundance of caution."
HealthCare.gov website became a prime target for critics of the ObamaCare law last fall when the opening of the insurance enrollment period revealed widespread flaws in the online system. Critics have also raised concerns about potential security vulnerabilities on a site where users input large amounts of personal data.
The website troubles were largely fixed during the second month of enrollment and sign-ups ultimately surpassed initial expectations. Obama announced this week that about 8 million people had enrolled in the insurance plans.
The full extent of the damage caused by the Heartbleed is unknown. The security hole exists on a vast number of the Internet's Web servers and went undetected for more than two years. Although it's conceivable that the flaw was never discovered by hackers, it's difficult to tell.
The White House has said the federal government was not aware of the Heartbleed vulnerability until it was made public in a private sector cybersecurity report earlier this month. The federal government relies on the encryption technology that is impacted – OpenSSL – to protect the privacy of users of government websites and other online services.
The Homeland Security Department has been leading the review of the government's potential vulnerabilities. The Internal Revenue Service, a widely used website with massive amounts of personal data on Americans, has already said it was not impacted by Heartbleed.
"We will continue to focus on this issue until government agencies have mitigated the vulnerability in their systems," Phyllis Schneck, DHS deputy undersecretary for cybersecurity and communications, wrote in a blog post on the agenda website.
"And we will continue to adapt our response if we learn about additional issues created by the vulnerability."
Officials wouldn't say how government websites they expect to flag as part of the Heartbleed security review, but said it's likely to be a limited number. The officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the security review by name.

Wine Talk: When in Beaune
Inside the largely intact ramparts of this relatively sleepy village of 20,000, there are four restaurants with at least one Michelin star. Outside the city walls there are several more.
The center of the village, around Place Carnot, is lined with shops pedaling gourmet food products, as well as the latest fashions from Paris, a couple of hours to the north.
From early spring through the annual Hospices de Beaune wine auction in late November, the cobblestone streets are clogged with tourists, particularly on Saturday, which is market day. On most weekends in the high season, hotel and restaurant reservations are a must.
Once the bastion of the Dukes of Burgundy, Beaune is now the center of the wine universe for some, particularly wine aficionados with a taste for the most sought-after chardonnay and pinot noir in the world.
Surrounded by some of the most famous wine villages in France, Beaune is more than the commercial center of Burgundy; it is its heart and soul.
When in Beaune, this is what I do.
I arrive at Hotel le Cep, a four-star hotel near the village center, and immediately celebrate with a glass of Cremant de Bourgogne or Laurent-Perrier brut rose Champagne, usually by the grand fireplace just off the lobby, especially if there is a chill in the air.
Beaune has other superb hotels, including the elegant and relatively new Le Cedre and the conveniently located Hotel de la Poste. Le Cep, however, is eclectic and charming, an Old World period piece, with a warm and friendly staff; and it's an easy walk to my favorite haunts.
None easier than the few steps to Loiseau des Vignes, a Michelin one-star next door to Le Cep. A diner could easily spend $300 in one sitting at Loiseau, but on a recent visit I ordered the four-course menu decouverte for 59 euros, which is about $80, including tax and tip.
Dinner was, as expected, innovative and spectacular, but the greatest attraction for me is the Loiseau approach to wine. It is one of the few restaurants or wine bars in France where it is possible to enjoy grand cru Burgundy by the glass. I indulged and ordered a magnificent 2009 Armand Rousseau Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru for 20 euros. I also took the wine pairings for each course, chosen by the sommelier, for an additional 45 euros.
On the same visit, I had dinner one evening at Le Beneton, another Michelin one-star, and ordered a la carte. Le Beneton was equally innovative and dazzling, but twice the price.
Michelin stars aside, my favorite restaurant in Beaune is Caveau des Arches. It is listed in the Michelin guide without a star, but the cuisine, perhaps a bit more traditional than Loiseau and Le Beneton, is exceptional and the wine list one of the finest in the village (though that distinction may be held by the small, charming Ma Cuisine).
Caveau des Arches recently added a casual dining space upstairs from the main dining room in the "cave." The menu is limited, and reservations are not required, but it is well worth a visit.
If budget is of concern, the modest but well appointed La Grilladine, a half-block from Le Cep, offers several menu options that are attractive. I recently chose its 23-euro dinner that included salmon tartare, beef bourguignon and a cheese plate. With a half-bottle of Pernand Vergelesses Premier Cru I got out for less than 50 euros, including tax and tip.
I've also had similar experiences at the modest Le Conty, which, like the others, is mere steps from Place Carnot in the center of the village. And a bit further from the center of the village on Rue Faubourg Madelaine is Cave Madelaine, serving up the ultimate in Burgundian comfort food paired with an extensive selection of wines from Burgundy and the rest of France.
Of course, no visit to Beaune would be complete without a stop at one of its better wine bars.
My favorite for many years has been Le Bistrot Bourguignon, near Place Carnot. This homey wine bar, which serves excellent bistro faire, offers more than 20 Burgundies by the glass, most of them village wines, ranging anywhere from 4 to 12 euros per glass, which is a four-to-five ounce pour. On a recent visit I also enjoyed a 1972 Armagnac for 10 euros.
On the other side of Place Carnot you will find the hip, modern La Part des Anges (the Angel's share) with equally good prices on the wines by the glass, and an array of tapas that pair nicely with the wines. La Part des Anges also steps outside the Burgundy box occasionally. The bar was pouring a South African Sauvignon Blanc and a dry red blend from Portugal on my last visit.
So, when in Beaune, do as I do, and you will neither starve nor go thirsty.
Best Value
Wines are rated on a 100-point scale. Wines are chosen for review because they represent outstanding quality or value, and the scores are simply a measure of this reviewer's enthusiasm for the recommended wine.
Luca Bosio 2009 Barbera d'Alba, Piedmont, Italy ($20) -- Barbera is a tricky grape variety that can produce unpleasant results because of its naturally high acidity. No such luck with this effort from Luca Bosio. The 2009 Barbera d'Alba is packed with juicy red and black fruits, complex notes of mocha, anise and dried herbs, all supported by smooth, supple tannins. This is an outstanding effort and a steal at the price. Rating: 92.
Tasting Notes
Calera 2011 Pinot Noir, Jensen Vineyard, Mt. Harlan ($80) -- Calera's Jensen Vineyard pinot from the much-maligned 2011 vintage is another example of a top-notch producer overcoming the challenges of a difficult growing season to make an outstanding wine. While lighter in color than you might ordinarily expect for a California pinot, the 2011 Jensen delivers intense strawberry and red berry aromas, supported by firm acidity. As with all of the Calera pinots, it also shows an attractive and distinctive minerality. Good now, but will improve in the cellar over the next five to seven years. Rating: 93.
Nickel & Nickel 2012 Chardonnay, Stiling Vineyard, Russian River Valley ($55) -- Nickel & Nickel's Stiling Vineyard chardonnay is a new one on me, but the elegance and sophistication are old hat for this remarkable winery situated in the heart of the Napa Valley. The Stiling chardonnay is rich and creamy, yet delivers beautiful structure, with mouth-watering acidity and layered, complex aromas of lemon creme, apple and spice. Ho, hum, just another work of art from winemaker Darice Spinelli. Rating: 93.
Merry Edwards 2011 Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley ($45) -- Merry's basic Russian River Valley pinot noir is made in the same rich, full-throated style as her vineyard-designate wines, but the price is less painful and they are ready to drink upon release. The 2011 delivers juicy red-fruited aromas of raspberry and strawberry, with an intriguing earthiness. Rating: 90.
MacMurray Ranch 2012 Pinot Noir, Central Coast ($23) -- Not every decent California pinot must cost $50, at least that's the message from MacMurray Ranch with its 2012 Central Coast pinot noir that has plenty of attractive strawberry flavor, with supple tannins and a smooth finish. This wine is slightly light and fruity, but nicely balanced and delicious with casual cuisine. Most of all, the price is right. Rating: 87.

Thomas Paine's version of "you didn't build that":
"Separate an individual from society,and give him an island or a continent to possess,and he cannot acquire personal property. He cannot be rich. So inseparably are the means connected with the end,in all cases,that where the former do not exist the latter cannot be obtained. All accumulation, therefore,of personal property,beyond what a man's own hands produce, is derived to him by living in society; and he owes on every principle of justice,of gratitude,and of civilization,a part of that accumulation back again to society from whence the whole came"

Family Time: How to keep your pets healthy and happy all winter long
Tip of the Week
Dry skin, winter weight gain and the common cold - humans aren't the only ones to struggle with winter woes. Cold weather can affect our pets' health, too. While you can put in some extra time on the treadmill and layer up for the cold weather, pets rely on their human companions to help them stay healthy all year long. As temperatures drop and snow starts to fall, keep these simple safety tips in mind to help keep your pets safe and healthy this winter:
- Dress to impress ... and stay warm. With thick coats and hardy constitutions, some animal breeds are made to stand up to Old Man Winter. But most domestic dogs will feel the cold, so it makes sense to outfit them for the weather. Sweaters, booties and other winter essentials aren't just fashionable, they're functional; they can help protect your four-legged friends from extreme cold, snow and ice. Keeping ID tags up to date and secure on your pet's collar is also a crucial part of any pet's winter wardrobe. Dogs especially can lose their way in snow-covered landscapes that mask familiar scents and scenery. It's best to keep your dog on a leash and ensure it is wearing an ID tag at all times to keep Fido safe and secure all season.
- Avoid toxic temptations. Common products around your house can sometimes pose a threat to pets. For example, antifreeze can keep your vehicle running when temperatures drop, but it can stop your pet in its tracks if even a small amount is ingested. Be sure to keep all jugs of antifreeze, and other household chemicals, tightly sealed and stored on a high shelf away from pets. Clean up spills as soon as they happen to avoid accidental ingestion. Always keep an eye on your pet's behavior. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, consult a veterinarian immediately.
- Get safer sidewalks and happy paws. Ice and snow can make winter walks anything but wonderful. It's essential to keep sidewalks clear of ice and snow to prevent dangerous slip and fall accidents. While salted sidewalks and streets are important for winter safety, they can irritate pets' paws. Using a pet-friendly ice melter can clear the way but still be safer for our furry friends.
- Take a bite out of winter weight. Like people, pets are less active in winter and burn fewer calories. Keep up a regular schedule of outdoor excursions - weather permitting and assuming your pet is properly dressed for the cold. In addition, consult your veterinarian about proper diet during "hibernation" season and adjust your pet's diet accordingly to avoid winter weight gain.

One of the more peculiar aspects of human behavior is the tendency to reject an extreme, incorrect approach to something only when a completely opposite and equally extreme point of view begins to gain favor. This disturbing tendency is particularly common in the fitness industry. While the middle ground is the correct place to be in most areas of life, many fitness professionals choose to "ride the pendulum" from one extreme to the other.
As trainers, we have been riding the pendulum on a number of topics for far too long, examples of which I will provide in this blog. For every example, I'll explain why each extreme is the wrong approach and provide a method for you to find the intelligent middle and avoid the mental laziness of extremism.
From one extreme…
To the other…
Perform endless reps of crunches
Never do crunches—do endless planks instead
Long, slow, distance cardio is all you need
High-intensity interval training is all you need
From Endless Crunches to Never Do Crunches to Endless Planks
As I covered in my "When Pigs Crunch" article in ACE Certified News, the recommendation to avoid crunches is based on a severely flawed rationale. While crunches may not be the greatest exercise, they certainly are not the worst. It's a fact that our spines can safely flex and, while there is no question that crunches have been overused in the past, there are beneficial ways to safely and effectively perform crunches using asymmetrical loads and unbalanced variations. To view examples of innovative ab exercises, visit the Top Tips and Never-Before Seen Exercises for Training the Abs video series, as well as my book, Abs Revealed, which is available in the ACE store.
Individuals who feel that crunches are a waste of time often respond by overusing the plank. Serving as a teaching exercise, the goal of the plank is to learn how to create 360-degree core stability all the way around the torso and hips. Practicing planks for more than 20 to 30 seconds is a waste of valuable training time—after all, life is movement, not the absence of it. Once someone can successfully create and hold a plank for up to 30 seconds, it's time to move on by performing either a moving variation of the plank (see my "Plank School" ACE video), or a different, more challenging exercise.
What you should do: Use the resources listed above to know when and how to use crunches and how to progress planks.
HIIT is the Only Cardio You Need
Several decades ago, distance running was all the rage and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) did not even exist. Now that it's become a popular form of cardio exercise, however, many people have fallen into the trap of thinking it's all that's needed. This idea was inspired by the now famous "Tabata study" published by Dr. Izumi Tabata and colleagues in 1996. The study results were subsequently misinterpreted to such a degree that many people mistakenly believe that a few minutes of HIIT cardio is equivalent to an hour of traditional cardio. This is, of course, an attractive idea to those who want to do the least possible to get results.
Here are two main problems that need to be addressed with this overreaction:
- No one actually does true Tabata training— not even you. In the 1996 study, researchers used a protocol that consisted of seven to eight sets of 20 seconds at 170% VO2 m ax followed by 10 seconds of rest, but since it's impossible to do Tabata training with squat thrusts or push-ups, the majority of humans will never do anything at 170% of VO2 m ax. You can do intervals of 20 seconds of work with 10 seconds of rest, but it is not considered Tabata training unless you are using the same impossible levels of intensity used in the study.
- Steady-state cardio is the only proven way to increase blood volume and, thus, the buffering capacity of your blood. (An increase in blood volume means there is more sodium bicarbonate carried by the blood to buffer acids.) When muscles fatigue, acids build-up, and when the acids build up faster than the blood can buffer, performance declines rapidly. Thus, anaerobic recovery is dependent on how quickly you can switch back to aerobic pathways to speed recovery.
You don't need a lot of traditional aerobic training, b ut most non-endurance athletes should perform this type of training at least once per week.
What you should do: Perform both HIIT and steady- state (or "regular" interval) cardio to obtain the benefits of both.

Future careers for today's high school students
High school seniors nationwide are preparing to graduate, receiving college acceptance letters and possibly enrolling in a college or university. The challenging economy has made many of these young adults acutely aware of the important role their degree can play when they face commencement once again, this time entering the job market.
Some schools offer degree programs that address the skills required to enter fast-growing fields, such as cyber security, cloud computing, health care and accounting - U.S. News & World Report included accounting in its ranking of 25 Best Jobs in 2012. This strong connection to a promising career path can be attractive to prospective students.
"Knowledge of projected industry growth is extremely helpful as students choose their major or area of study," says Dr. Chad Kennedy, chair and professor of biomedical engineering technology in the College of Engineering and Information Sciences at DeVry University. "Unlike some career fields where opportunities are shrinking, many technology and engineering fields are expanding at double-digit rates. In fact, many employers can't find enough qualified applicants to meet their needs."
Careers in technology are growing up to three times faster than other fields. For students interested in pursuing employment in this thriving industry, ComputerWorld recently outlined the "10 hot IT skills for 2013." Cloud computing was among the most coveted skills. Though relatively unfamiliar to the average consumer, this data management knowledge drives the services that support many of today's businesses.
Similarly, cyber security professionals will play an integral role in keeping information safe as the majority of companies' assets move online. According to Today's Engineer, the monthly Web publication of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the cyber security field is growing "in leaps and bounds."
Employment in health care fields is also on the rise. An aging population of baby boomers and expanded access to health care has placed growing pressure on the health care industry to add workers in fields ranging from health information systems and biomedical engineering technology to nursing and ambulatory care.
"Given the sensitive nature of medical data, my role -- ensuring data integrity, availability, and security for every current and former patient -- is essential and growing in demand," explains Adam Franzen, a systems administrator at Presence Health Care who holds a bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems from DeVry University. "As health care evolves, so do the technology and management skills that are central to career success in the field."
The workforce is rapidly evolving; some of the most desired professional roles of yesterday are shrinking today and will become obsolete tomorrow. The class of 2013 will enter emerging career fields, managing the technologies that drive advanced hospital settings, leading development of the next cloud-based application and protecting companies and consumers from cyber and financial fraud alike.

Fitness industry tradeshows are a great place to spot the newest trends, and when it comes to equipment, the IHRSA Tradeshow is the place to get a first-hand look the latest lines that, in most cases, have not even hit the health-clubs yet. Here are some of my observations from attending the 2013 IHRSA tradeshow, along with my picks for the most promising new equipment and trends.
Technology vs. People
We all know there is a problem with obesity and inactivity, and those who have the disposable income to spend on health clubs and personal trainers typically spend their days sitting at a desk in front of a computer screen, only to switch to a laptop, mobile device or TV as soon as they get home. One of the biggest challenges trainers face is tearing their clients away from the screen and helping them get moving. Nevertheless, at this year's trade show, it seemed as if the biggest innovations have come from companies that see exercise time as another opportunity for people to interact with a screen.
Of course, spending 30 minutes leisurely riding a stationary bike while checking e-mail or watching TV is better than sitting on a couch doing no activity at all, and technology has proven useful for progress tracking and keeping individuals engaged. Even so, putting a tech-based interface on a piece of equipment could create yet another barrier that keeps people from experiencing a truly effective fitness program. The fear is that club operators will invest in more fixed equipment with screens and electronic gizmos, instead of focusing on designing equipment that allows trainers to interact with users and provide a unique exercise experience.
As a longtime personal trainer and group fitness instructor, I admittedly have a strong bias towards instructor-driven programming, but let's look at a couple of simple facts:
- No matter how good the electronic interface, a treadmill (or any other stationary piece of equipment) can only engage one club member at a time. A good instructor or trainer can work with upwards of 40 members simultaneously.
- Even if entering a user ID allows a piece of equipment to remember who you are, it won't remember your kids' birthdays, ask you how that presentation (or meeting or first date, etc.) went or compliment you on the visual results from your exercise program.
- People long for human interaction. Working with a trainer or exercising in a group class allows people to work together toward a shared, common goal, and there is no better feeling than a positive affirmation from an instructor or a classmate after a challenging workout.
One reason why instructor-driven programs are so popular is that for many, it's nice to unplug, go with the flow and let someone else be in charge for a small part of the day. For that reason, when I walked through the IHRSA tradeshow, I wasn't looking for the latest ways a consumer can watch TV or surf the web while exercising; I was looking for the real secret sauce of what drives successful clubs—equipment that creates interaction between educated professionals and club members looking to improve their lives.
Equipment That Caught My Eye
Workout Cages
Back in the 1800s, many gyms had jungle-gym type equipment with monkey bars—a trend that seems to be resurfacing. Three years ago, only one manufacturer had a cage system, and this year, almost every major manufacturer had one. Many Crossfit studios are outfitted with cage-type apparatus, and their success proves that consumers appreciate old-fashioned, jungle gym-style workouts. A cage can be configured so that multiple people can use it at once, making it a cost-effective way to engage members during a small group-training program. While a number of manufacturers had cages on display, the following stood out for various reasons:
-Hoist: Features an attachment that simulates a rock-climbing wall
-Movestrong: Attachments for a climbing rope and cargo netting make this cage a must-have for training for mud-run and obstacle course style races
-Tuff Stuff: Features an old-fashioned wrestling-style peg-board for climbing
Traditional benches have hard, tough rubber padding that can be uncomfortable or limit the range-of-motion of the shoulder joints. ViCore has an interesting approach that incorporates the use of air bladders instead of padding as the surface of the bench. They are much more comfortable than traditional benches. I especially liked the Roman Chair and incline benches. Additionally, these benches can create points of interaction between members and fitness staff, who can provide an overview on the different exercise options allowed by the air bladders.
I live in San Diego, where there is no shortage of surfers—they are some of the sickest athletes out there and I've never seen an obese one walking out of the water. I tried surfing once, which was more than enough to make me develop a healthy respect for these athletes. If your clients want to train to have a body like a surfer, but don't live near the ocean, then the Surf Set program is for you. Exercising while balancing on an unstable surface provides a number of challenges and is a unique way to engage members in small-group programming. A buddy of mine teaches Surfset at his club and has successfully used it to establish rapport with members and develop new training clients.
OK, after that little rant against screens I do have to backpedal a bit because the interactive features of the Nexersys boxing trainer are really pretty cool. The screen allows you to follow an instructor-led workout for punching and kicking that can have clients huffing and puffing in no time at all.
I have to admit that, when I first tried this reactive training tool, it kind of scared me a bit—it's that unstable. However, as I have learned how to use it properly, my opinion has changed and I've become a big fan. If you are looking for a creative and challenging way to engage your clients or members, you must consider this equipment. At IHRSA, they launched a 30-minute express workout program that is perfect for clubs or studios in urban settings that cater to busy professionals.
If you're looking for the next "big thing," keep in mind that successful programs aren't successful because of the equipment. Group fitness participants and training clients are the members with the highest retention because personal connections make a difference. Any club can have the latest, greatest equipment with all of the bells and whistles, but members will come back because they have established a personal connection with the instructor and that is something no microchip can provide.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Kevin Hart had a revelation while making 'Think Like a Man Too' in Las Vegas: He's become the old guy he used to make fun of during his standup routine.
While at a nightclub with co-star Jerry Ferrara, Hart realized he was on the upper end of its demographic.
'I looked around and I was like oh my God, am I the uncle? In the club? Have I turned into the old guy?' the 34-year-old comedian said in a recent interview to promote the film. 'Looking at women like, am I the guy with all the keys? Am I that guy?'
The film, which opens Friday, also stars Gabrielle Union, Taraji P. Henson, Michael Ealy, Adam Brody and Megan Good.

Today's News: Our Take - Report: Today's Hoda Kotb Exploring Other Jobs
Could Hoda Kotb also be leaving Today?
The Today co-host, who has anchored the fourth hour alongside Kathie Lee Gifford since 2007, has reportedly been taking meetings for other job possibilities, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Did Savannah Guthrie flip off Matt Lauer on Today?
However, a source close to the situation tells the magazine that it seems unlikely that Kotb, whose contract with Today expires in the fall, will actually leave. "Hoda loves her job at the Today show and adores everyone she works with on the show. Her contract is coming up and she's just expanding relationships and having coffee with a few people."
The news comes less than two months after reported tension on the set between Kotb and Gifford after the latter wanted to move the fourth hour to Los Angeles so she could be closer to her family.
The news also comes on the heels of Today'sMatt Lauer getting bashed in the press, which included rumors that Anderson Cooper may replace him.

It is our goal to keep your mouth healthy, your teeth fully functional, and your smile bright — and we are proud of all the services we offer to do exactly that. At the same time, we want you to understand all that modern dentistry in general has to offer you. To that end, we have assembled a first-rate dental library in which you can find a wealth of information on various dental topics, including:
Cosmetic & General Dentistry
From a thorough professional cleaning to a full smile makeover, there is an amazing array of services that cosmetic and general dentists offer to make sure your teeth stay healthy, function well and look great. If your smile is not all you want it to be, this is the place to start. Read more about Cosmetic & General Dentistry.
Emergency Dental Care
When you have a dental emergency — whether it's caused by a sudden accident or chronic disease — your teeth and/or the tissues of the mouth that surround them need to receive proper care right away. It's also important to be aware, before you're actually in the situation, of what you can do to ensure the best outcome. Read more about Emergency Dental Care.
This is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the inside of the tooth — specifically the root canals and sensitive, inner pulp (nerve) tissue. When this tissue becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal procedure may become necessary. But contrary to the popular myth, a root canal doesn't cause pain, it relives it. Read more about Endodontics.
Implant Dentistry
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the comfort and security of a permanent replacement that looks and functions just like your natural teeth. Dental implants also help preserve the tooth-supporting bone in your jaw that naturally deteriorates when even one tooth is lost. Read more about Implant Dentistry.
Oral Health
Oral health is an essential component of general health and well-being. Good oral health means a mouth that's free of disease; a bite that functions well enough for you to eat without pain and get ample nutrition; and a smile that lets you express your happiest emotions with confidence. Read more about Oral Health.
Oral Hygiene
A major goal of modern dentistry is to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy for a lifetime. By following a conscientious program of oral hygiene at home, and coming to the dental office for routine cleanings and exams, you have the best chance of making this goal a reality. Read more about Oral Hygiene.
Oral Surgery
The word "surgery" often brings to mind a stay in the hospital, general anesthesia, and perhaps a lengthy recovery period. However, the experience of having oral surgery is usually very different from that. Some common oral surgery procedures include: tooth extractions, dental implant placement, and biopsies of suspicious oral lesions. Read more about Oral Surgery.
Adults and kids alike can benefit from the boost in self-confidence that comes from having a great-looking smile with beautifully aligned teeth. Orthodontic treatment can even improve chewing, speaking and oral hygiene in certain cases. And with today's virtually invisible orthodontic appliances, it's possible to keep your treatment a private matter… until your new smile is unveiled, of course! Read more about Orthodontics.
Pediatric Dentistry
It's never too early to get your child started on the path toward a lifetime of good oral health, and there are many services to do exactly that. Monitoring your child's dental growth and development, and preventing and intercepting dental diseases along the way, is the primary focus of pediatric dentistry. Read more about Pediatric Dentistry.
Periodontal Therapy
If you want to keep your teeth for life — a completely reasonable goal in this day and age — you need to make sure the tissues that surround them are also healthy. Should gum problems arise, you may need periodontal therapy to restore diseased tissues to health. Read more about Periodontal Therapy.
In the field of dentistry, new technology is constantly changing the way diseases are diagnosed, routine procedures are performed, and illnesses are prevented. Although they may seem unfamiliar at first, new and improved dental technologies offer plenty of real benefits for patients. Read more about Technology.
If you've ever had needle phobia, you might like to learn about a new technology referred to as an "anesthesia wand," which is a computer-controlled dental-injection tool. In fact, some people feel it is more of a "magic" wand because it doesn't look like a typical injection and it works even better by making the entire process virtually painless.
Here's how it works
Your anesthesia will be delivered through a syringe-free wand or pen-like device that is connected to a computer. Before the tiny needle attached to the wand is inserted, the computer delivers a small amount of anesthetic so that the insertion site starts going numb before the needle enters the skin.
Once the needle is in place, the computer delivers an accurate, consistent amount of anesthesia so that you remain comfortable — typically below the threshold of pain. The computer's microprocessor automatically adjusts the injection pressure for different tissue densities, maintaining a constant, comfortable flow of anesthesia. This is important because the culprit with most injection anxiety is discomfort from anesthetic being injected too quickly, not from the needle entering the skin.
What are some advantages of using an anesthesia wand?
- One of the most important advantages is that it doesn't look threatening, as it eliminates the initial anxiety upon seeing a syringe.
- It can be used in conjunction with other conscious sedation methods (i.e. nitrous oxide) for a more comfortable treatment.
- It provides painless injections for all routine dental treatments including root canals, crowns, fillings, and cleanings.
- With the wand, you will receive a more consistent and comfortable injection, especially in more sensitive areas such as the front of your mouth or in your palate (roof of your mouth) where tissue is less elastic.
- Due to the wand's penlike grasp, it is easier to handle, rotate, and accurately glide the wand into precise, hard-to-reach places to deliver anesthetics.
- Last but not least, many people who previously experienced a fear of injections are able to overcame their fear after the first use. This provides them with a better, less stressful dental experience.

In their 1999-2000 series of articles on the problem of "market manipulation"(see Westlaw, Westlaw, and SSRN), Doug Kysar and Situationist Contributor Jon Hanson detailed how advertisers manipulate affective/emotional processes of consumers. In a book about the risks and perceived risks of smoking (edited by Situationist Contributor Paul Slovic), Hanson and Kysar have a chapter examining the manipulative practices of the cigarette industry. From it, we have copied the following excerpt:
The impact of experiential thinking in the consumer context has been stated nicely by an early proponent of the significance of affect to decision making:
We sometimes delude ourselves that we proceed in a rational manner and weigh all the pros and cons of the various alternatives. But this is probably seldom the case. Quite often, 'I decided in favor of X' is no more than 'I liked X.' . . . We buy the cars we 'like,' choose the jobs and houses we find 'attractive,' and then justify these choices by various reasons . . . (Zajonc, 1980).
In other words, our affective responses to products often determine the purchasing decision, regardless of whether we experience the decision as having resulted from "reasons." Significantly, our affective response can dominate the consumption choice even when our rational processing system suggests a contrary decision. Indeed, the affective system can often confound the rational system by causing logically distinct categories like "cost" and "benefit" to become conflated in the individual's mind. Thus, a manufacturer that succeeds in generating a positive affective response with respect to its product may gain the added effect of lowering consumer estimates of the product's potential to cause harm.
Consumer product manufacturers clearly strive to cultivate positive affect in relation to their products. This effort can be seen in the omnipresent practice of feel‑good advertising that carries little if any information about the product being pitched, but plenty of gushing views of the happiness, wealth, and beauty that allegedly can be gained from its consumption. Tobacco ads are no exception. Indeed, the decades‑long "Marlboro Man" campaign of Philip Morris might be considered the ultimate in such "lifestyle advertising." By frequently offering depictions of the free and natural cowboy smoker, Phillip Morris instilled in many smokers a positive affective association with the product. Consequently, subsequent negative information about smoking was (and is) viewed by the consumer through the bias of experiential thinking. As Seymour Epstein (1994) explains, "Cigarette advertising agencies and their clients are willing to bet millions of dollars in advertising costs that the visual appeal of their messages to the experiential system will prevail over the verbal message of the surgeon general that smoking can endanger one's life, an appeal directed at the rational system" . . . . Given the durability of such practices throughout this century, the bet appears to be a good one.
Apart from those general efforts to generate positive affect for their products, tobacco manufacturers have also capitalized on qualitative characteristics that influence how individuals perceive and respond to risks. To give just one example, consider the recent "natural" marketing campaigns adopted by R.J. Reynolds for its Salem Menthol cigarettes and Brown & Williamson for its Kool Natural cigarettes. Both feature such content as forest green design schemes, Edenesque images of waterfalls and lush foliage, and repeated use of the words "nature" and "natural." A recent print ad for Kool Natural Lights, for instance, repeats the word "natural" a remarkable thirteen times in a single half-page advertisement. The companies skirt deceptive advertising liability by linking "natural" with the cigarettes' mint leaf-supplied menthol flavor. The overall effect of the campaigns, however, is far more subtle. As behavioral researchers have noted, people respond more favorably to risks that they view as emanating from natural, as opposed to man-made, sources. In other words, a risk may be underestimated by people simply because it is attributed to nature. R.J. Reynolds has exploited this cognitive bias in the tagline to its Salem ads: "Menthol from nature. Created by plants, not people." Never mind that cigarettes typically contain hundreds of additives, many of which are created by people, not plants (Hanson & Logue, 1998).
* * *
The July issue of Psychological Science includes a research report (by lead author Sonya Dal Cin and four collaborators) describing a fascinating new type of evidence (relying on the implicit association tests developed by scholars such as Situationist Contributors Mahzarin Banaji and Brian Nosek) that sheds light on the causal link between how exposure to positive affective cues — in this case smoking by protaganists in movies — to smoking attitudes, intentions, and behavior. We have excerpted a bit of that report and its abstract below.
* * *
Exposure to smoking in movies is a potential influence on youths' smoking behavior. Cross-sectional . . . and longitudinal . . . surveys have shown that greater exposure to smoking in movies predicts increased likelihood of trying smoking, even after accounting for a wide range of potential confounding factors . . . . A few experimental studies have supported a causal argument, revealing that exposure to movies in which smoking takes place predicts more favorabvle attitudes toward smokers . . . and increased self-reported likelihood of smoking . . . . However, the mechanisms underlying these effects are poorly understood, and until recently . . . , accounts of these mechanisms were entirely speculative.
In this article, we report experimental data that speak to this debate, while advancing understanding of basic social psychological issues. Among nonsmokers, similarity between one's self-concept and one's image of a smoker predicts trying smoking . . . Similarly, among youth who have never smoked, liking movie stars who smoke and considering oneself to be similar to peers who smoke are associated with intentions to smoke and subsequent smoking initiation. . . .
More generally, researchers interested in the persuasive impact of narratives suggest that greater identification with characters increases persuasion . . . , but the determinants of identification are not entirely certain. . . .
Our main objective in this study was to examine identification with a movie character who smokes and the influence such identification has on one's own self-concept. Given that smoking is considered socially undesirable in North America, we expected that our participants, particularly nonsmokers, might have difficulty reporting changes in smoking self-concept. To overcome this possible limitation, we administered not only traditional explicit (self-report) measures, but also a less-deliberative, implicit measure of the association of smoking with the self. This circumvented the potential influence of social-desirability biases inherent in explicit measures.
* * *
Undergraduate men were randomly assigned to view film clips in which the male protagonist either smoked or did not smoke. We measured subsequent levels of self-smoking associations using a reaction time task, as well as self-reported beliefs about smoking and smokers. Greater identification with the smoking protagonist predicted stronger implicit associations between the self and smoking (for both smokers and nonsmokers) and increased intention to smoke (among the smokers). Stronger implicit self-smoking associations uniquely predicted increases in smokers' intentions to smoke, over and above the effects of explicit beliefs about smoking. The results provide evidence that exposure to smoking in movies is causally related to changes in smoking-related thoughts, that identification with protagonists is an important feature of narrative influence, and that implicit measures may be useful in predicting deliberative behavior.
* * *
Narratives are ubiquitous, and history reveals that certain conditions (i.e., when individuals identify with a character), narratives may be able to change (or at least selectively activate) implicit associations, with potentially insidious consequences.

In my program, like many others, graduation is contingent on completing a culminating project. At the University of Texas, that is called a "Capstone experience." The overwhelming majority of students choose an internship or semester-long project with a library, archive, or local business or nonprofit. At the end of the semester, the student creates a poster detailing their specific project and what they learned/contributed/etc. The idea is for us to synthesize the 4 or so semesters of learning into one final deliverable.
I love the idea of a capstone project. The experience gives soon-to-be professionals the opportunity to network, fill out their resumes, get hands-on practical experience (which, ahem, our programs sometimes lack) and create and present a poster to the iSchool community. There is, though, a second option: A Master's Report. A report differs from a thesis in that it is completed in only one semester. A report differs from a capstone project (always referred to as "the capstone") because instead of an internship, the student writes about a 40 page academic paper on a topic of his or her choosing.
I am a rare student who has chosen to write a report. Why? Since grad school started, I've had an internship as a researcher at the Texas Education Agency and as a social media intern at Austin Public Library's bookstore. I am currently employed with two part-time internships: one, as a youth librarian at Austin Public Library, and another in a graduate student position in the reference department at the main library at UT. My resume is bursting with internships. Simply put, I just don't need (nor do I have the time for) another one. Between these positions, I have enough reference, outreach, and instruction experience for the types of entry-level positions I'm looking for.
Secondly, I just plain like writing academic papers. As Rose aptly noted, the end-of-course research papers often feel unfulfilling. I don't usually feel like I've really learned enough about the course topic to do a research paper justice. Similarly, when all my courses require end-of-course papers, I can't dedicate as much time or energy into one kick-ass paper as I'd like. Researching and writing get my juices flowing and it's refreshing to get an entire semester to spend on one paper.
So, if your program requires a Capstone in some variety and offers a report option, I say take it! If you need more compelling reasons, here are some reasons why it may be more fun than you think:
- Master's reports are, ideally, of publishable quality—for many types of positions, having something published or near publishable before entering the profession is quite advantageous.
- As librarians, it's important to stay on your research game, so to speak. Of course we're researching for course papers during our academic careers, but engaging in the kind of long-term projects (some of) our patrons do gives us a better appreciation for the art of research.
- It's rewarding! No, really. After a capstone project, you'll have great, tangible experience. After writing a report, you have a 40-ish page paper you can return to for future research, presentations or papers, and will give you ammunition when your family members ask, "Are all of your classes about the Dewey Decimal System."
- Most importantly: You become a mini-expert in the topic. Because of the relatively short duration we're in school, there are not of opportunities to take highly specialized courses in specific topics. For example, I'm writing my paper on developing comprehensive, environmentally sustainable weeding policies. While UT offers a course in Collection Development which covers weeding, it's not terribly in-depth. At the end of the semester, I will have done enough research to speak comfortably and confidently about collection development, weeding, and developing trends in environmental sustainability to just about anyone.
So, what say you? Does your program offer a capstone experience? How do you feel about reports and theses?

Oppo Reno 4 5G Android update status
Currently: Android 12
Currently the latest official Android version for Oppo Reno 4 5G is Android 12.
Oppo Reno 4 5G update history
Official, stable version of Android 12 released for Oppo Reno 4 5G.
Official, stable version of Android 11 released for Oppo Reno 4 5G.
Latest phones and their specs
Why my phone still has the older Android version...?
Please note that most of the time the new Android versions get rolled out relatively slowly: manufacturers don't deliver over-the-air (OTA) Android updates to all users at the same time, but instead, roll out the update in cycles.
Additionally, if your phone has been bought from an operator, this complicates things. While the unlocked phones might get the updates, the operator-specific, so-called "locked phones" might be out of luck. Typically, the large operators have their own customizations in place for the phones sold through them and due those customizations, the update schedule for operator locked phones can be totally different than those that are unlocked.
You can try to manually check if there's an update available for your phone by visiting your phone's Settings. There, you can find a place for System updates. Visit that section: it will check whether there's updates available for your phone right now.
If you think our data is incorrect, please let us know and we'll fix it ASAP.
