Facebook helps keep people connectedPosted Friday, December 3, 2010, at 6:27 PM
What's up with all this Facebook stuff?
Surely Facebook has got to be just another fad or a passing thing, doesn't it?
What on earth are all of the people spending hours and hours a day looking at this Internet site that is known as the Facebook social community?
They are browsing the site at home, at work and mobile in their vehicles, at the grocery store, at school, at church, just about everywhere over their smart phones.
And, if you think and your boss thinks you're spending a lot of time mulling over your Facebook friend's activities and checking on their status posts, you're not alone.
Hitwise has some new stats that qualify as more than impressive even by Facebook standards.
Facebook now accounts for 25 percent of all pageviews and 10 percent of all Internet visits. That's a 60 percent increase from a year ago.
Trailing is Google, with 7 percent of Internet visits and YouTube with 3 percent. Those two also combine for 11.7 percent of pageviews.
The data indicates that social networks -- led by Facebook with half a billion users (including 100 million in the U.S.), Twitter (nearing 200 million users) and YouTube -- are becoming the dominant habitat for many web users.
Facebook has some competitors, such as Friendster, MySpace and Second Life, but they in a different league and not so viewed in the Internet world.
There are plenty of Facebook issues dealing with governance, privacy and policy, and the possibility of becoming too powerful.
Started in a Harvard University dormitory room in 2004, Facebook was designed as a way for college students to connect.
Initially restricted to college students only, Facebook opened its doors to high school students in 2005 and welcomed the public a year later.
During the next year, it grew from 12 million to 50 million users.
iStrategyLabs, a digital marketing agency, now says users in the 24 and younger demographic comprise a shrinking share of Facebook's U.S. membership.
It's not because they're going away, but because their parents and grandparents are flocking to the site in droves -- and they're bringing friends. Lots of them.
Facebook users can join groups and networks, become fans of various entities, and use their judgment and the site's privacy settings to decide how public they want their information to be.
I'm a frequent Facebook user and do enjoy the ability the social network has afforded me to re-connect and re-visit with many high school and college friends.
It's also been a good way to say connected with family who live elsewhere.
Quite honestly, Facebook is key tool that I use in my everyday job as a newspaper reporter/editor.
There's not a day goes by that I don't learn something or glean something off of Facebook that is beneficial in my job -- whether it's a news tip, a tidbit of information, or a piece of good old gossip that is interesting enough for me to at least check out.
There are some of my friends who have more than 2,000 Facebook friends. I don't chose to enter into that kind popularity contest, but to me Facebook is a good thing.
I've only got about 440 FB friends who are a diverse group from all walks of life.
Among my "friends" or "likes" are also pages for some of the area police and fire departments, local entertainers, businesses, area and state politicians, churches and charitable organizations.
I have a friend who is more than 90 years old and she posts her status on a pretty regular basis. You've got to love that.
I've even been "friended" by a cute, female dog from Linton named Daisy the Wonder Dog.
She proudly proclaims in her Facebook bio -- "My name is Daisy ... and I'm a Wonderdog! I love going for car rides, meeting new people and smelling things!! I get too excited when I meet new people and sometimes piddle but it's not my fault, cause I don't mean too."
I've branched out and launched a business-related Facebook page titled "Nick Schneider, writer, journalist, photographer."
Things are going well and it's been a very helpful place for me to also gather a host of news tips and story ideas and share online links to my stories that are published in the Greene County Daily World.
Please check it out.
To learn more about the whole Facebook experience and join the many "friends" worldwide go to "Facebook 101: The Basics" at http://www.gcflearnfree.org/facebook101.
Have some fun, kill some time and learn.
I look forward to, perhaps, having some new friends on Facebook.
Nick is assistant editor for the Greene County Daily World. He can be reached by telephone at 847-4487 or 1-800-947-4487; by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages...

Facebook was better before all of the old people got on their and ruined it with Farmville and stupid friend surveys.

How does Farmville or any other app ruin your FB experience? Just block the apps and they won't appear in your feeds, while other posts from the "old people" that you might want to see will show up.

Upcoming change for Madison, WI Fox47
Posted 03 August 2010 - 07:19 PM
Posted 01 November 2012 - 01:48 PM
I live basically right in between Madison and Milwaukee. My UHF-only OTA antenna was pointed towards Milwaukee since I have had it for the last 2.5yrs. Would've pointed it towards Madison but would not have received FOX47, since its digital frequency is only 11. But a plan is in place to switch to a UHC freq. Their new antenna delivery is slated for the third week in September. They also hope to have the antenna mounted and be operational on Channel 49 either the last week in September or the first week in October.
Fast forward to 2012...
I have problems receiving good lasting signals for two of the four Madison channels and cannot believe nobody else has this situation. Any help is appreciated.
Posted 01 November 2012 - 02:52 PM
I'm a little surprised that a Great Lakes area channel would go UHF as VHF was disproportionately popular in that area early on.
Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought. -- JFK

IF you do NOT install it against the studs, etc., you will end up with an installation that looks like a homeowner did it.
I have a 100+ old house and has an old freestanding cast iron tub that has to go, I would like to replace it with an acrylic tub and surround but was wondering if it would be ok to install it over the exhisting plaster walls as i am not relishing the idea of taking down plaster and lathe. It says to install directly over studs, but most of the surrounds i saw say that, so what do you think? Is there a reason for installing to studs? If i do, is there anything i should do to the walls first before i install?
Thanks for any help!
IF you do NOT install it against the studs, etc., you will end up with an installation that looks like a homeowner did it.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
If the surround is labeled "direct to studs" then if you apply it over teh plaster, it will be about 2 to 3 " to big, and over lapt the tub too far. There are other surrounds which glue up to the wall material. You will have to open the wall for the tub. They are 60" unless you get a "special", and therefore go stud-to-stud
Many of the plastic surrounds have a lip on them that is designed to be hidden by the edge of the wall butting up to the bumpout of the surround and sit on that lip, helping to lock the thing tight to the walls.

Cinco de Mayo Humor
Today is Spanish Friday so this post is in Spanish. If you participated in Spanish Friday on your own blog, leave your link in comments. English translation at the bottom!
Hola gringos! Listos para celebrar cinco de mayo este fin de semana? Bueno, por los que no son gringos, les explico por qué celebramos el aniversario de una batalla en Puebla, México. La mayoría de la gente celebra cinco de mayo en los Estados Unidos no más por tener excusa tomar cerveza, margaritas, y tequila, disfrutar de música mariachi, vestirnos en sombreros y sarapes y comer comida "mexicana" (estilo estado unidense, todo cubierto en queso y salsa.) Eso es!
Y sí, sabemos que somos un poco ridículos – hasta podemos reírnos de nosotros mismos!
Hola gringos! Ready to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this weekend? Well, for those of you who aren't gingos, let me explain to you why we celebrate the anniversary of a battle in Puebla, Mexico. The majority of the people in the United States celebrate Cinco de Mayo just to have an excuse to drink beer, margaritas and tequila, enjoy mariachi music, get dressed up in sombreros and sarapes, and eat "Mexican" food (American-style, all covered in cheese and salsa.) That's it!
And yes, we know we're a little ridiculous – we can even laugh at ourselves.
Posted on May 4, 2012, in celebration, Culture, en español, holiday, humor, Spanish Friday. Bookmark the permalink. 10 Comments.
Funny, but sad, too, because those cards are all too true.
LOL, those are funny. Feliz Día de Cinco de Mayo for those who celebrate it!
My post is up…
hahahaa im dying over here too funny lol happy cinco de mayo lol hahahaah
Haha…super funny! So true. I love the sarcasm.
That video was hilarious!
Loved your post. Going to share!
What's interesting is that now Cinco de Mayo has become a sort of Pan Latin American celebration…When I was in Miami (there are very few Mexicans there), lots of Cubans, Venezuelans, Colombians etc. were celebrating and I was very confused! I think everyone just likes an excuse to celebrate and have fun, no matter where the holiday is from. For example, all of my Latino friends LOVE Thanksgiving. But that makes sense because it's a big meal that gets the whole family together.
Back to Cinco de Mayo….once I had a Spanish teacher tell me the "real" story of Cinco de Mayo…I have never been able to verify this, so I'm not sure if it's true or not. She told me that on the actual Cinco de Mayo, yes, the Mexicans did beat the French AT FIRST, but then they went to celebrate and got drunk and while they were drunk the French came back and killed them all. Has anyone else heard this before? Anyhow, true or not, it's a good cautionary tale.

- Public Health Approaches
- Health Research Placement
Full-time students will be expected to take 12 months to complete the MRes course. Part-time students are expected to take two or three years.

Within this paper a new framework for Bayesian tracking is presented, which approximates the posterior distribution at multiple resolutions. We propose a tree-based representation of the distribution, where the leaves define a partition of the state space with piecewise constant density. The advantage of this representation is that regions with low probability mass can be rapidly discarded in a hierarchical search, and the distribution can be approximated to arbitrary precision. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique by using it for tracking 3D articulated and non-rigid motion in front of cluttered background. More specifically, we are interested in estimating the joint angles, position and orientation of a 3D hand model in order to drive an avatar.

Rep. Raul Grijalva said the operation in the Jackson Mountains northwest of Winnemucca involves the use of a helicopter to drive horses for miles to corrals in hot weather, and the Bureau of Land Management should have considered "less dangerous alternatives" to remove the animals from the range.
Grijalva, the ranking member of the House Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands, maintains the agency is conducting the roundup "under cover of an emergency," but the situation facing horses around the Jackson Mountains does not meet the BLM's own criteria for an emergency.
"June is the height of foaling season, meaning that BLM will be stampeding tiny foals, heavily pregnant mares and other horses that may already be compromised by lack of adequate water and forage," Grijalva, D-Ariz., wrote in a letter sent Thursday to BLM Acting Director Mike Pool.
"Please be sure that I am watching this foaling season closely and hope to see BLM make a good faith effort to protect wild horse population health, as your own policies mandate."
BLM spokeswoman JoLynn Worley said her agency is working closely with the contract helicopter pilot to ensure the gather is conducted in the most humane manner possible. Among other steps, the BLM has instructed the pilot to drive horses to corrals no faster than the slowest member of the herd.
"Certainly, there's always a risk of driving a pregnant horse. We've had some miscarriages in the past," Worley told The Associated Press. "Certainly, having young foals run and follow a mare for long distances can be hard on their hooves. These are things we're aware of, and we're trying to mitigate those issues as best we can."
She said while BLM policy is to not round up horses during foaling season, a lack of forage because of the drought justifies their removal form the range a month early. Foaling season lasts from March 1 to June 30.
The agency plans to remove 630 of an estimated 930 horses in the Jackson Mountains Herd Management Area. Twenty-seven mustangs, including 15 mares and two foals, were removed during the first day of the operation Friday.
Eleven national horse advocacy organizations, including the Cloud Foundation and American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign, signed a letter asking the BLM to consider a "humane alternative" to the helicopter roundup.
Like Grijalva, they prefer "bait trapping," which involves setting up panels and using food and water to lure mustangs into a trap.
"The BLM is using the drought as an excuse to clear out wild horses while risking their death," said Anne Novak of Protect Mustangs. "They are leaving livestock on the same allegedly drought-afflicted land to graze, so BLM's actions don't make any sense."
Worley said ranchers have voluntarily removed livestock from the hardest-hit area, and bait trapping has not been proven to be an effective method to gather large numbers of horses.
The agency is trying to avoid a repeat of 2007, when it lost 180 of about 900 mustangs it removed from the same area during similar drought conditions, Worley said.
"We waited too late (to begin the roundup) and are not going to take that chance again," she said.
Nevada is home to about half of the estimated 37,000 wild horses on public lands in 10 western states.

I paid extra for an ocean front room. Ocean front means you have a balcony but not in this hotel--only every other room. My first room had fleas/bugs crawling over bathroom counter and second room had broken windows and handles that didn't work.This hotel is overrated. It should be a 2.5 or 3 star hotel. The original price of--- is absurd. The rooms are average and I feel a person shouldn't have to pay extra for ocean front room without balcony. I paid almost--- a night extra and didn't get a balcony. I was told by the hotel for a night, I could get a room with a balcony. I have stayed in several beach hotels and never heard of such.

We stayed one night as part of a multi city trip. We have stayed at this particular hotel 3 times before and always had a great stay. Unfortunately, this stay was not as good, Since we were ony staying one night we got a standard room as opposed to a Jr. suite. The bed was one of the worst that we have ever had anywhere. There are knobs on either side of the bed for adjusting but did not seem to work as no matter what we did one side was hard as a rock and the other side had a huge dip in it. Also, since the room is smaller than a suite, we were much closer to the AC unit which was extremely loud. It woke us up every single time it kicked on. Room was very clean as usual, but when we called the front desk for the code for wireless internet the next morning, the desk person was very rude, which wasn't normal for this hotel. We have always had great stays before. Hopefully this was just one bad night that won't be repeated next time. If so, we will find a new place to stay fr... ... more

Paul Carpenter
4:34 PM EST, January 7, 2012
The New Year's weekend was a time for wholesome fun, especially for hockey fans.
A rink was installed inside Philadelphia's big baseball stadium and two terrific outdoor events were scheduled for the fans.
The National Hockey League Alumni Game between former players of the New York Rangers and the Philadelphia Flyers was Saturday. The NHL Winter Classic was Monday, between the current Rangers and Flyers, before a crowd of 46,967.
I did not go to Philadelphia. I was among the millions who watched both events on television, but they looked like fun.
The alumni game featured former greats like the Flyers' Bernie Parent, Bobby Clarke, Bob Kelly and Eric Lindros, and the Rangers' Mark Messier. Monday's Winter Classic was a regular-season NHL game, won by the Rangers.
Watching the alumni game was particularly fun for me, because years ago I played in a charity game in Whitehall Township, featuring local yokels on one team and former Flyers on the other. I'm proud to say I got creamed by both Kelly and Dave "The Hammer" Schultz.
On Tuesday, I was delighted see a story in The Morning Call that said a bus filled with fans from the Lehigh Valley had gone to Monday's game, many wearing orange and black Flyers jerseys. It said some of them booed the arrival of fans in Rangers jerseys. That was poor sportsmanship, but not enough to spoil my warm feelings about what had taken place over the weekend.
Those warm feelings turned sour on Thursday, when The Morning Call posted a disturbing video distributed by Philadelphia police.
The video showed a pack of thugs outside the famed Geno's cheesesteak joint in South Philly, not far from the stadium, wearing orange and black Flyers jerseys, beating up people in Rangers jerseys.
Philadelphia newspaper stories said two Rangers fans were injured in the fracas and that police were treating it as a case of "aggravated assault." The "main aggressor," it was reported, wore a number 28 jersey of the Flyers' Claude Giroux, a magnificent player and a top NHL scorer. Another attacker wore a number 68 jersey of a star of similar stature, Jaromir Jagr.
The video shows vicious attacks, with the thugs in orange and black knocking the Rangers fans to the ground and then punching and kicking them as they lay unconscious. The Rangers fans were outnumbered at times by 2-to-1 or even 3-to-1.
This was not just a fight among inebriated imbeciles. This was savagery perpetrated by a bunch of cowardly thugs who needed to heavily outnumber their adversaries before they could act tough. It was absolutely sickening.
On Friday, news reports said one of the thugs was bragging on Facebook about his role in the attack.
Ironically, it was Giroux and Jagr who highlighted the Flyers' performance in the Winter Classic game. They are two of the finest hockey players who ever lived, and both consistently display good sportsmanship to go with their awesome talents. Also ironically, one of the injured victims is a New Jersey police officer and former Marine who was wounded in Iraq. This is how those who serve the public get treated in the City of Brotherly Love.
The police said they were distributing the video of the attacks at Geno's to seek the public's help in identifying the attackers.
I fervently hope it works and the video serves to catch these gutless brutes. I also hope that none of them turn out to be from that bus filled with Lehigh Valley fans.
There was one other disturbing emotion evoked by that video of the attack.
A few months ago, writing about a wave of "flash mob" attacks in Philadelphia, I said they apparently were racially motivated, with gangs of blacks targeting whites. I argued that such hate crimes are encouraged by rap music with "kill whitey" and similarly inflammatory lyrics.
That should cause concern in Allentown, I argued, if the flash mob trend spreads, because a new hockey stadium is being built in the minority-dominated downtown area. It will be for the American Hockey League affiliate team of the Philadelphia Flyers.
Hockey crowds are almost exclusively white, for reasons I do not understand, and I said the placement of a new arena in the downtown area could be problematic.
Now, as I watch that video, I can't be sure, but it appears the faces of those cowardly thugs attacking the Rangers fans are white.
Maybe my concerns about minority flash mobs were premature.

NorCal Safety & Health Fair 2014.Zero Net Energy Center - Alameda JATC - May 4, 10:00am-5:00pm
Join us on May 3rd at our 3rd Annual Safety & Health Fair as we explore the benefits of maintaining a safe work and home environment. We will have safety exhibitors and classes available for everyone to attend. Signatory Contractors working in Alameda county will have to opportunity to spend up to $500 on the spot with our Safety Reimbursement Program. Our goal is to provide a forum that brings together IBEW workers, NECA contractors, their families and vendors alike to learn and share their knowledge of safety.
This program explores the business case for net zero energy buildings with the goal of inspiring owners, developers, designers, and the rest of the building industry to embrace the concept. This will be accomplished through the in-depth analysis of a case study -- 435 Indio Way in Sunnyvale – the location hosting this event – which was a recent design/build renovation of a 1970's era existing building. The presentation will showcase strategies for managing the costs of financing, designing, building and operating a net zero energy renovation from the perspective of the developer, design team and contractor. The goal of this presentation is to prove that net zero energy buildings can deliver returns equivalent to business-as-usual real estate development.
The program will include a self-guided tour of the building.

A recurring gripe of mine is how many Canadian movies and TV shows slavishly pretend they aren't Canadian -- such as by disguising Toronto as New York or as a generic "Anytown, North America." So how to best test this idea...and have fun at the same time? Let's make a drinking game out of Canadian references!
As 'The X Factor' comes to an end this week, I wonder what will become of the show in its third season. Even though Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato bicker like a petulant teenager and irksome uncle, I quite like their relationship. I never thought they would share much chemistry, but the 'X Factor' duo has been delightful to watch, which made me think of other pairs on other shows that have been a surprising treat.

Remember all the times your teacher told you how special you were? Remember all the ego strokes delivered by well-meaning adults, certain enough compliments and praise would keep you from using crack, having kids and needing condoms? Eh, turns out it did no good. No wonder you're such a fuck up.
I know Bush doesn't read the papers, but can't someone in his office monitor them? Because post-inauguration speech, this story seems worth some attention. A prominent Iranian artist and pro-Democracy activist fled to Australia, was detained for the last five years, and has now been denied a humanitarian visa, which means deportation. When the news came down, he attempted to overdose on sleeping pills which, all in all, was a logical move as he's expected to be tortured and executed upon arrival in Iran.
I'm going to keep this atop the page for the day, or at least the morning. New posts will appear under it. If you've read the welcome message already, just scroll on down for fresh blogging goodness. If not, click "More" and have at it.
Is the "Read More" feature working now, or are people still being deposited betwixt my name and photo?
And someone mark down my 20 points for correctly using "betwixt" in a sentence.
Update: All signs point to yes. Greg, who figured it out, is just as talented as he claims.
Good post by Kos on the changes Reid has wrought. The Senate Dems really have transformed from a yipping, useless caucus to a united opposition force. And it's as much in what they do -- The 10 Leadership bills, Schumer retiring the DSCC's debt in record time -- as in what they feel freed to do, with the recent, finally contentious hearings being a perfect example. It almost makes losing those three seats worth it.
I'm getting complaints that clicking on "Read More..." vaults you to the top of the page. This isn't happening for me, but it's widespread enough that I should try and fix it anyway. So all you html geniuses out in the audience -- any idea what's going on? if it helps, something weird happens when you click "All Done!" and it only shows a couple posts down the page. I don't know if that's connected, but there it is.
Also -- the picture. Some seem to love it, others seem to hate it. So I'm putting it to vote. Should it stay? Should it be replaced with another, less suggestive, photo? Or will opening-day concerns over my buttoning habits evaporate amid the flood of good posts I'm planning to write? The power is yours.
PZ Myers is right: if evolution is a religion, religion is no longer a word with a recognizable meaning. That's what's so confusing to me about that rebuttal; do creationists really want to argue that religion is nothing more than a way of explaining certain portions and conditions of reality? I would think they'd want something in there about spirituality or the divine, but in the rush to counter science they seem to be quickly devaluing their own beliefs. Although it is pretty funny to see such absolutists turn to ardent relativists in moments of need...
In the land of the cool, Random House discovered a genius author working in their mailroom and, after getting a five-figure, two-book deal, he's still toiling among the envelopes. Oh, and his book might become a movie. It doesn't get much sweeter than that.
Via The Elegant Variation.
I want to engage something Ed Kilgore says in a much-larger post on Southern politics:
With Republicans sweatily gripping all the levers of government, it's worth taking a moment to see how the worm has turned. MoJo blog had a great post showing that Bush's speech wasn't so much penned by Michael Gerson, as lifted from an acceptance address 50 years ago:
Fafblog! 1/20/05:
With little-to-no expertise in labor issues, and no memory of a time when unions were strong, it's hard for me to enter the debate between Nathan Newman and Chris Bowers. So I won't. Suffice to say that Chris castigates elected Democrats for abandoning labor and Newman replies that our politicians are quite favorable to labor, it's the liberal opinion-makers and base that can't be bothered on the issue.
Almost nowhere else is there such a tight link between class and opinions about cutting government.
For the GOP, there's no real benefit in admitting Obamacare is working.
Liberals are exasperated with conservatives' unwillingness to acknowledge fact about health care, and other things. But they'd better get used to it.
Two vacant slots offer progressives the opportunity to ensure the Board finally cracks down on Wall Street.

HOUSTON (AP) -- A spokeswoman for Princess Cruises says more than 100 passengers and crew contracted a stomach virus on one of its ships.
Karen Candy tells the Houston Chronicle that 96 passengers and six crew members on the Crown Princess contracted a common form of gastrointestinal illness that involves upset stomachs, vomiting and diarrhea.
The illness struck during a 20-day Venetian cruise due to end Saturday at Galveston's port.
Candy says the cruise line suspects the virus, which is easily transmitted from person to person, was brought on board by embarking passengers.
She says the ship will undergo a comprehensive disinfection after it docks.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
Wayne Parry / The Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — With legal gambling now moving beyond the casinos and onto the Internet, the industry is bracing for the most far-reaching changes in its history.
A sample poker game is played on the Ultimate Gaming website. The social gaming company launched the first legal, real-money poker site in the U.S. Tuesday morning. The Ultimate Gaming site will be available only to in players in Nevada, but likely represents the shape of things to come for gamblers across the country.
A Las Vegas firm, Ultimate Gaming, on Tuesday became the first in the U.S. to offer online poker, restricting it, for now, to players in Nevada. New Jersey and Delaware also have legalized gambling over the Internet and expect to begin offering such bets by the end of this year.
And many inside and outside the industry say the recent position taken by the federal government that states are free to offer Internet gambling — as long as it doesn't involve sports betting — will lead many cash-hungry state governments to turn to the Web as a new source of tax revenue.
Ten other states have considered some form of Internet gambling so far this year, but none has legalized it yet. Efforts to pass a national law legalizing online poker have sputtered, leaving states free to pass laws as they see fit.
"It's no longer a question of if Internet gaming is coming; it's a question of when," said Frank Fahrenkopf, president of the American Gaming Association, the trade organization for the nation's commercial brick-and -mortar casinos. "Unless there is a federal bill passed, we are going to have the greatest expansion of legalized gambling in the United States. I don't think that's what anyone intended, but it is what we're seeing."
The brave new world for gambling brings with it a host of questions and concerns. Will letting people bet online result in fewer visits to casinos, and therefore fewer dealers, beverage servers and hotel and restaurant workers at the casinos? Will Internet bets create a new revenue stream from new players, or will it simply redirect money from gamblers who otherwise would have visited a casino, and might have eaten dinner and seen a show, as well? And will it create even more problem gamblers?
Michael Frawley is chief operating officer of The Atlantic Club Casino Hotel, perhaps the most endangered of Atlantic City's 12 casinos. A deal for it to be sold to the parent company of PokerStars, the world's largest online poker website, is up in the air. The Atlantic Club's owners said Wednesday the deal was dead, but PokerStars said the next day it still wants to salvage the purchase. It was not immediately clear whether the deal will ultimately get done.
Frawley said the Internet's vast reach could help double business at his casino, provided the right balance is struck between the online and physical gambling experiences for customers.
"If you go to the movies, you can watch one at home, or you can watch one in the theater," he said. "Both of them can be a great experience."
Regardless of whether PokerStars buys The Atlantic Club, Internet gambling is expected to take off in New Jersey before long. The Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has said it is preparing to offer online gambling later this year, and Gary Loveman, CEO of Caesars Entertainment, has also said he expects his company's four Atlantic City casinos to grab a large share of New Jersey's online market.
Geoffrey Stewart is general manager of Caesars Online Poker. Parent company Caesars Entertainment's World Series of Poker brands, as well as its 37 casinos across the U.S., make it an early favorite to be a leader in online gambling. He said brick-and-mortar casinos such as Caesars Palace can use Internet play to complement their physical casinos.

Research Agenda
Research of Importance to the Practicing Dentist, 2012–2013*
Mission Statement
A major objective of the ADA is to promote a good quality of life by improving the oral health of the public and encouraging optimal health behaviors. To achieve this objective and to support the ADA's goal to be America's leading advocate for oral health, it is imperative that the ADA take a leading role in promoting, conducting and critically reviewing research on topics related to dentistry and its relationship to the overall health of the individual. The ADA should serve as a facilitator of the national dental research effort, identify priority topics for research, and ensure the timely dissemination of information to the profession.
Structure of the ADA Research Agenda
The Research Agenda targets three to five primary goals that remain consistent for at least two years as targeted research priorities. The corresponding objectives are reviewed biennially. Updates are based on emerging research needs and input from members on priority clinical topics in dentistry.
Research Agenda Topics
Goal 1: To understand the social, behavioral and biological determinants of oral and dental diseases and their impact on the provision of dental care.
Objective 1-1: Evaluate the application of risk assessment, risk communication and other risk management strategies (including development and/or validation of evidence-based risk assessment instruments) in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric and adult caries, periodontal diseases, and mucosal diseases including oral cancer, and their effectiveness in improving oral health outcomes.
Objective 1-2: Enhance understanding of factors related to access to—and utilization of—dental services across the age spectrum, from pediatric to geriatric populations, with emphasis on the development and evaluation of innovative methods to:
- prevent or reduce early childhood caries in at-risk populations;
- increase oral health literacy of the public, including its relation to overall health;
- evaluate and report the impact and effectiveness (outcomes) of health literacy interventions, including those targeting dentists and their team members; and
- address oral health disparities and improve access to oral health care in the United States.
Objective 1-3: Investigate and develop therapies for the prevention, reversal and non-surgical management of dental caries in all age groups.
Goal 2: To understand the scientific basis of emerging issues and therapies of interest to the practice of dentistry.
Objective 2-1: Evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new and existing diagnostic, therapeutic and cosmetic products, methods, instruments and technologies used in dentistry through longitudinal assessment of safety and patient outcomes, including pre- and post-market studies. Examples of priority topics to help inform clinicians include but are not limited to:
- determine the effectiveness of visual/tactile examination and adjunctive devices and/or procedures for detection of pre-malignant/malignant lesions, and evaluate the impact of adjunctive detection devices and/or techniques on patient outcomes;
- evaluate the safety and diagnostic efficacy of cone beam computed tomography or other emerging imaging technologies versus standard radiography for dental applications;
- research on the short- and long-term safety of tooth whitening products and procedures;
- laser therapies, biomimetic materials and other novel restorative materials.
Objective 2-2: Investigate, develop and clinically evaluate therapies and therapeutic materials appropriate for prophylaxis, tissue engineering, healing and/or regeneration of diseased teeth, bone structures and soft tissues of the oral cavity.
Objective 2-3: Evaluate the impact of dental practice, materials and products on human health and the environment.
Goal 3: To conduct research in support of the application of evidence-based dentistry.
Objective 3-1: Develop, test and validate methods for assessing outcomes related to the use of evidence-based clinical recommendations and clinical practice guidelines in dentistry.
Objective 3-2: Develop and implement improved methods and processes to increase the impact of dental practice-based research networks as a means to address clinically relevant research questions and promote collaborative investigations of preventive and therapeutic interventions that support the advancement of oral health care.
Goal 4: To understand the scientific basis of the relationship between oral health and systemic conditions, and to evaluate the impact of dental interventions on these systemic conditions.
Objective 4-1: Investigate how oral and systemic conditions and diseases affect each other to determine causality and the effect of therapies on clinical outcomes of both the oral and systemic health of the patient.
Objective 4-2: Investigate the uses of non-invasive salivary and oral fluid diagnostics to assist in the early detection and surveillance of oral and systemic conditions, with emphasis on elucidating the scientific basis for detection of systemic diseases in saliva.
