I spent a good part of this evening trying to figure out why I could build AVR projects in CodeBlocks using an old profile (i.e., personality) but not a new one. When I tried to compile with a new one (even on a different machine), the compile would generate a
/usr/include/features.h:323:26: fatal error: bits/predefs.h: No such file or directory
By comparing the old and newly created profiles, I was able to figure out that new profiles were setting default include directories for building indiscriminately versus not at all for the old profile. The following seems to fix things, but to be honest I have not tested a wide variety of AVR builds nor have I tested any other kinds of projects. But I can't see why it should mess anything else up.
- Open Settings > Compiler and debugger... > Global compiler settings
- Under Selected compiler, select "GNU AVR GCC Compiler"
- Select the "Search directories" tab
- Select the "Compiler" tab
- Select the /usr/include entry and click the "Delete" button
- Right next to the "Compiler" tab, select the "Linker" tab
- Select the /usr/lib entry and click the "Delete" button

A CEO Successor: Finding the Teammate That Can Excel Through Business Education
The CEO Institute is an institution that could only successfully prosper in this current day and age. The battle to the top is more competitive and dynamic than ever before. Only masters excel at the craft enough to dominate the top of their company and remain icons to the company. This special business education understands the high competitive nature to the CEO position, but it also understands another important element. A CEO does not exist in a void. He or she is surrounded by talented individuals that propel the success of the company. Without these valued members, a CEO would be held back. The smartest CEO's are humble enough to understand this duality, and they know where to invest their talent.
So why use CEO Institute?
These Business Courses & Education are used mostly for aspiring CEO's that are in top ranking positions in the company. They almost have everything it takes to be a powerhouse player in the company at the top of the hierarchy, but they lack the finesse as well as the title. These courses maintain lessons and practices in three core areas:
Anticipating change in the industry and the organization
Hands-on presentations and reviews that study real-life scenarios
Refining an intuitive understanding of business and organizational development
A CEO knows that they will not be one forever. Someone will take their place, and the CEO business courses will seek to pinpoint that individual through powerful lessons and challenging reviews.
The Cooperation of Business
In another light, a business succeeds due to its top people. A CEO is smart enough to choose a successor that follows their same adages, and they also value integrity and motivation. In many ways, being a successful CEO is all about collaboration and teamwork, because it is the individuals surrounding the CEO that make him or her more successful.
These classes can break down into further components. One of the main areas of focus is in competitive advantage. Classes study current competition in the respective industry, as well as how to both utilize their knowledge and move past them in the industry. Other classes will stress hands-on organization and the gauging of responses. Students are expected to assess a scenario (a very realistic one) and build a course of action. They are timed on the situation and reviewed on the potential outcomes. This course is fast-paced, challenging, and consistently able to push the envelope in business competition and CEO development.

Colin Firth & Ed Harris Offered Roles
What the hell happened to Neil LaBute? Once considered a bold new emerging cinematic voice after delivering two caustic, blistering and hilarious films "In The Company Of Men" and "Your Friends & Neighbors" the director unwisely started taking on projects not based on his own writing. This led to the films like "Nurse Betty" and "Posession" and though he rebounded with the underrated "The Shape Of Things," matters got considerably worse with a trifecta of awful including "The Wicker Man" (man gets attacked by bees), "Lakeview Terrace" (man gets attacked by Samuel L. Jackson) and "Death At A Funeral" (man gets attacked by a midget). Which brings us to Brendan Fraser, who has made a career out of second-rate blockbusters, nauseating family films with the odd drama that no one ever watches thrown in for good measure.
Well, the two couldn't be a better pairing for some sort of career renaissance as they will team for the drama "Seconds Of Pleasure." Details on the project are scarce but we presume it's based on the LaBute short story of the same name. At the very least Fraser and LaBute are surrounding themselves with some decent talent.
Kristin Scott Thomas has also joined the film and intriguingly, offers are out to Colin Firth and Ed Harris for parts as well. No details on the roles or even a logline at this point, but the film is gearing up for a March shoot in the UK. Presumably no CGI, talking animals or mystical monsters are involved. Seriously though, if LaBute can get that kind of talent on board we'll be suckers enough to give this one a shot, but we're leaving our expectations at home.

Hillary's Iraq About-Face
Charles W. Kim
Jan 27, 2008 in
An opinion piece regarding 2003 comments by Sen. Clinton on using military force in Iraq. The article goes with a video and previous article where Clinton explains her vote supporting military intervention to disarm Saddam Hussein.
Clinton's '03 Iraq War Vote Video
Clinton: Weapons Inspectors Led To War Vote
By Charles W. Kim (sbreporter1)
This is a tale of two presidential candidates, both named Hillary Clinton.
"We have to disarm this man (Saddam Hussein)," a confident, almost defiant Sen. Hillary Clinton tells the ant-war group Code Pink in Washington D.C., March 6, 2003.
Clinton explained to representatives from the organization that she voted for a resolution allowing President George W. Bush to use military force in Iraq because "he (Hussein) has an obsession with weapons of mass destruction."
Those comments and others captured in a video by Kirsten Michel of California, and displayed on YouTube.com, seem all but forgotten now as the Democratic presidential campaign rhetoric between Clinton and nomination rival Sen. Barack Obama heats up.
Michel, a 40-year old videographer and student, accompanied the group to Washington to protest the war and was even in a group of some 20 people arrested in front of the White House during one of the protests.
Clinton and Obama are locked in a tight battle through the Democratic primaries with Clinton enjoying three early victories in Nevada, New Hampshire and Michigan. Obama won a major victory in South Carolina Jan. 26, beating the former First Lady by a 2-1 margin.
Obama, who has staunchly opposed the war in Iraq, also won the Iowa caucuses, but has finished a close second in the three other polls.
A key issue between these contenders is the war and the record of votes each have cast while representing their respective states in the nation's capital.
During this war of words, Clinton has questioned Obama's intention of bringing troops home while supporting bills that fund the war.
Even Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton called Obama's record on the war "a fairy tale" compared to his campaign speeches.
Sen. Clinton, however, talked a much different game in 2003 when confronted by the Code Pink group.
"I (voted for the resolution) based on my own assessment and understanding of the situation," Clinton said in the 15-minute video which can be seen on YouTube.com. "I relied on the opinion of people I trusted, regardless of their political background."
Clinton compared the United States role in Iraq to the unilateral use of military force used by Bill Clinton in Bosnia to end ethnic cleansing.
"The US had to do it alone," Clinton said.
Videographer Michel, 40, said she was just in the right place at the right time and now realizes the importance of what her camera captured during that meeting.
Michel placed the video on the fledgling Internet site in January 2007. After several people misused her video, she disabled its download to protect her copyright.
She, however, removed the restrictions on YouTube recently because she feels voters should see it and know Clinton's reasoning for her 2003 vote.
Watching and listening to the video some five years later, it seems like a tale of two different candidates.
Clinton is now very vocal opposing the conflict as polls show the war becoming increasingly unpopular.
The question that bears asking from these two seemingly divergent messages is where the New York Senator really stands on Iraq and why.
If she was duped during her total time in Washington as First Lady and later as a U.S. Senator by people she said she "trusted," then where will that leave the nation with her as president?
Much of what she said in 2003 sounds like what Bush told the country time and again during the same period.
Clinton's video did criticize the administration harshly for several things, but the reasoning to use military force in disarming the Iraqi dictator was not among them.
If we, as a nation, are to believe that the war was "Bush's lie," how do we reconcile the explanation of the Democratic Senator as being different philosophically?
The Clinton and Obama campaigns would not respond to several attempts seeking comment on the video.
While more than 100,000 people have viewed the video on YouTube, millions will likely never see this candid discussion and the honest questions it raises during this campaign.
It is not a Democratic or Republican issue, but an issue of sincerity, honesty and integrity. It is an issue about character and how a possible future president may handle foreign affairs.
The bottom line, it seems, is that politicians speak not from the heart, but from the latest poll results.
It seems votes are more important than standing by one's convictions and judgments'.
Maybe we are seeking someone perfect for the job and have expectations that no person can live up to consistently.
Perhaps videographer Michel sums it up the best.
"Clinton is a politician like everyone else," Michel said. "They say anything to get elected."

Genealogy is a journey back through time, in which you learn what your family's place was in history and how history has affected your family and you.

Issue with SSDI Search
There seems to be a problem searching the Social Security Death Index online. I searched for William Force who was born 1903 in New York State. In 1930 he lived in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York. I tried searching for a death record using Ancestry, Familysearch, Genealogybank.com, NEGHS American Ancestors.org and World Vital Records. Only Genealogybank found a record! Alas, this is also a subscription site and try to capture you this way. At least they let me register and view the record.

Tropirock Resort
Small paradise in a Mexican/Caribe style, offering unique and artistic rooms, tennis courts on site, gym, ultra-tropical landscaping, garden/barbecue and heated pool. Free use of the high-speed Internet cafe and wireless Internet. Less than a three-minute walk to the glorious Fort Lauderdale beach, plus easy access to restaurants and shopping. For those who may not be familiar with our area, the beach is gorgeous - several miles of unbroken sand and gleaming teal waters, with NO private hotels or condos on the beach to interrupt your view. Sea turtles nest here. Manatee and dolphin sightings are regular occurrences. Our area is home to numerous expensive, upscale hotels and we offer an affordable, character-filled alternative. Even though our hotel is modest in size (we offer only 31 rooms!), our property is considerably larger than most. Unlike the other small hotels, our larger property allows us to offer private areas where you can enjoy a quiet conversation or a glass of your favorite cabernet, while surrounded by beautiful tropical flora. With a little luck, a few of Fort Lauderdale's numerous wild parrots may land in our garden palms to announce their presence. It happens all the time.
Visit and see why Tropi Rock is consistently ranked by both travel writers and guests as one of South Florida's most charming properties. The hotel has been recommended by high-profile travel resources including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, Baedeker (Germany), Merian (Germany), FinnAir and many more. All rooms were recently remodeled, while still retaining the "Tropi Rock feel". New, gorgeous landscaping and bbq area were completed in 2010. Our family and staff take much pride in offering a happy, memorable vacation experience to you at an affordable rate. Not a "party place", Tropi Rock provides a laid-back, tropical atmosphere where you can enjoy our Florida sun while surrounded by lush tropical foliage. If you are tired of the same old cookie-cutter type beach hotel (you know the type - white walls and boring veneer "hotel" furniture), you owe it to yourself to give us a try. We'll do our best to ensure your happiness. It's what we do.

The dealership's lawyer argues that due process rights were violated.
Neighbors who feared test drivers would zoom through their streets rejoiced last week when the City Council voted 6-1 to deny an application to tear down a 60-year-old strip mall on W Kennedy Boulevard and replace it with a Kuhn used-car dealership.
Council member John Dingfelder at first supported the proposal. He believed that 4001 W Kennedy Blvd. would be better served with the planned development zoning for the upscale car lot instead of its existing commercial general use. That zoning allows a variety of ventures, including fast-food joints.
Dingfelder held that view at the first hearing, when Mark Bentley, Kuhn's lawyer, originally presented the plan. And Dingfelder stuck to it at the second hearing, when Bentley came back with amendments to assure neighbors that test drivers wouldn't cut through residential streets.
But at this third hearing, called after there weren't enough council members to vote at the last one, Dingfelder said he had changed his mind. After reviewing e-mails sent by residents, he decided to drive by the site after work to take a second look.
He pictured the 1.25-acre property without the large building and grew concerned about all the light and noise pollution from the street that would go unbuffered into the neighborhood. The lot would be a "missing tooth" on Kennedy Boulevard, he decided.
Bentley said Dingfelder's research went too far.
"From a due process standpoint, there have been blatant violations of my client's rights," Bentley said.
Bentley said Dingfelder had been influenced outside the scope of the public hearing, and council member Shawn Harrison said Dingfelder should have ignored the e-mails that prompted his impromptu drive-by.
Council member Linda Saul-Sena disagreed.
"It's Kennedy Boulevard," one of the most visible streets in Tampa, she said.
Council member Rose Ferlita agreed with Saul-Sena, saying nobody sat in Dingfelder's car when he changed his mind.
Before council voted, Bentley gave a final statement: "Our property is zoned CG and that building is coming down one way or another. We don't need permission to do build a Taco Bell."
Every member except Kevin White voted against the rezoning.
North Bon Air resident Richard Reavis rejoiced. "They listened to the neighbors and voted the right way," Reavis said.
But was he afraid of the bean burritos and double-decker tacos looming ahead?
"We used to have a Taco Bell. We had a Checkers drive-through," Reavis said. "We miss those."

The Shining Night
Recently I noticed how many of our beloved Christmas songs refer to night. "Silent Night" and "O Holy Night" are the most obvious examples–but we also have "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear", and lines in other songs like:
But in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light
or: In midst of coldest winter at darkest
midnight hour.
In Scripture, Christmas actually is associated with night–we read in Luke's gospel:
There were in that same country shepherds abiding in the fields, watching
over their flocks by night; and the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory
of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. (Luke 2:8-9)
I suspect that's one reason why most people come to church on Christmas Eve–and why church attendance on Christmas morning is so sparse. Deep down, we realize that Christmas is a night festival. (The exact opposite happens on Easter–the Saturday Vigil is sparsely attended, but the morning services are crowded. In our hearts, we seem to feel Easter as a morning festival). We sense the truth of a marvelous verse from the Apocrypha that is sometimes used in Christmas liturgies:
While all things were in quiet silence, and night was in the midst of her swift course,
your almighty Word, O Lord, leaped down from heaven out of your royal throne.
(Wisdom 18:14).
When God became human, He was born at night.
That's rather significant, I think–because we tend to have negative feelings about night. In popular culture, night is sometimes seen as the time of evil. (As Dracula intoned upon hearing the wolf howl: "Children of the night!") Certainly it's a time when our problems seem magnified–when all the negatives in our lives loom much larger, and melancholy and hopelessness threaten us. (I once attended a suicide-prevention workshop in which a speaker said, "Never make a major decision at night–because things always look better in the morning." That strikes me as a brilliant piece of advice.) One reason people tend to get depressed this time of year is simply because night seems to be so long–as several people have remarked to me, "When I go to work, it's dark. When I come home from work, it's dark." (I have often thought that, if it weren't for the joy of Christmas, the long nights of December would be almost unendurable!)
Night is often seen as a time, not to enjoy, but to endure- a time we have to struggle through. (Anyone who has ever suffered from insomnia can testify to that!) Frank Sinatra famously said, "I'm for whatever gets you through the night." Louis Armstrong sang, "Lord, You Made the Night Too Long", and Kris Kristofferson pleaded, "Help Me Make It through the Night." (I suspect much reckless behavior–with illegal drugs, over-consumption of alcohol, and illicit sexuality–happens because of this need to "make it through the night").
So night can be a sad time. No wonder the Scriptures say:
Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5).
And yet...and yet Our Blessed Saviour chose this melancholy time, this depressing time, to be born! He was not born in the brilliant rays of noontime, but "at deepest midnight hour". That makes, I think, some wonderful points. First, it shows that Jesus came into this world to share even the negative aspects of our lives. When God became human, He did not come simply to taste our joys...He also came to share our sorrows.
Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows... (Isaiah 53:4).
By coming at the time of day when human sorrow is most intensely felt, then, He shows that He does not shun our sadness, but embraces it and makes it His own. He comes to shoulder our greatest sadness–our sin, our distance from God–and die for that sin. So perhaps the birth at night is even a foreshadowing of the cross. (And remember: while the crucifixion took place in the middle of the day, the sun was darkened–so that it was, in effect, night when Jesus died!)
The birth of Jesus at night also, in a way, redeems night. Perhaps night does not have to be such a melancholy time after all–as long as we remember that Jesus was born at night. Even at night, His light is there:
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:5) The prayer for Christmas Eve says: "O God, you made this most holy night to shine with the brightness of the true Light..." Even night can be a time of joy, if we remember that Jesus was born during the night!
The next time you're up late, vexed by a problem, unable to sleep, with your worries staring you in the face like two frightening eyes in the dark...remind yourself: Christ was born at night. He has redeemed the night. Yes, sometimes weeping comes at night...but Jesus our joy also came at night! He above all others can "help us make it through the night"! As the Scriptures say:
"O Lord, even the darkness is not dark to You; the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to You."
May the Holy Night of Christmas bring you joy–at noon, at midnight, at every time of the day!
God loves you and so do I!


text: The White House overturned protections for transgender students that required public schools to allow them to use bathrooms and locker rooms matching the gender with which they identify. With the move, President Donald Trump - who indicated during his campaign that he might protect LGBT rights - has sided with social conservatives on a key issue at the centre of a broader cultural battle between conservatives and liberals. By lifting federal guidelines issued by the Obama administration - interpreting Title IX, the federal law banning sex discrimination in schools, to include gender identity - the Trump administration is leaving it up to states and school districts to decide whether students should have access to bathrooms that do not reflect their biological sex. READ MORE: Mapping hate - The rise of hate groups in the US The justice and education departments said in a joint statement late on Wednesday that they "withdrew guidance for educational institutions, issued in 2015 and 2016, that took the position that the prohibitions in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and implementing regulations against discrimination on the basis of sex require access to sex-segregated facilities on the basis of gender identity rather than biological sex." America's bathroom wars: 11 states sue Obama administration In a two-page guidance letter to public schools, the White House said that the existing guidance did not "contain extensive legal analysis or explain how the position is consistent with the express language of Title IX, nor did they undergo any formal public process." The decision comes after a reported disagreement over the language between Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a major opponent of the LGBT rights movement, and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who is said to support LGBT rights and had to sign off on the move. DeVos said in a statement on Wednesday that "the department's Office for Civil Rights remains committed to investigating all claims of discrimination, bullying and harassment against those who are most vulnerable in our schools". Wednesday's decision reverses memos issued by the Obama administration during the past two years saying that prohibiting transgender students from using facilities that reflect with their gender identity violates federal anti-discrimination laws. The memos came after the state of North Carolina passed a law requiring transgender people to use restrooms corresponding to the gender on their birth certificates in schools and government buildings. OPINION: Milo and the hypocrisy behind free speech claims That action prompted the "bathroom wars" issue over transgender identity and a boycott of the state by companies, sports teams and others. But the Trump administration argued that the reversal was simply aiming to stop a "federal over-reach" and protections for transgender people are still in place. Obama: Transgender students must be allowed to pick bathrooms "During his presidential campaign and indeed since he has been in office, Trump has been saying that the transgender initiative launced by President Obama, in the form of guidance issued to schools throughout the country, was in fact an over-reach by the federal government," said Al Jazeera's Mike Hanna, reporting from Washington DC. "The argument has been that the states and schools themselves are much better placed than a national institution to actually decide how to handle the issue of transgender people. "The administration makes clear at this particular point that this does not mean that protection for transgender children has been withdrawn, it says that those protections are still very strongly imposed." But Wednesday's decision prompted a flood of criticism from human rights and other groups. This is what democracy looks like: hundreds outside of the White House to tell transgender students we've got your back. #protecttranskids pic.twitter.com/KYIeBwvlBO — ACLU National (@ACLU) February 22, 2017 "Revoking the guidance shows that the president's promise to protect LGBT rights was just empty rhetoric," James Esseks, the American Civil Liberties Union LGBT project director, said in a statement. "But the bottom line is that this does not undo legal protections for trans students, and school districts can and must continue to protect them and all students from discrimination." "School districts that recognise that should continue doing the right thing; for the rest, we'll see them in court," he added. The US Supreme Court is due next month to consider the case of a 17-year-old in Virginia who was born a female but identifies as a male and filed a suit to be able to use the boys' bathroom at his high school.

EU to consider sanctions against Russia – Polish foreign minister
The EU could revise its relations with Russia and will consider visa and financial sanctions if the situation in Crimea does not improve, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said after an EU Council meeting in Brussels on Monday.
"The European Union has concluded that what Russia did in Crimea has been an act of aggression," Radoslaw Sikorski told a press conference.
He added that the EU demanded a withdrawal of Russian troops to their bases.
"The EU declares that if the conflict is not de-escalated, the relations with the Russian Federation will be revised, for example in the area of visa dialogue, and targeted measures, or simply speaking sanctions, will be imposed. That is visa and financial sanctions," the foreign minister said.
The targeted measures, including assets freeze, could affect "persons responsible for the decisions related to the acts of aggression against Ukraine," Sikorski said.
Sikorski said he was not a supporter of imposing restrictions that could affect ordinary Russians.
Further sanctions that could hit "the Russian hydrocarbons sector" are also considered, he added.
The North Atlantic Council will meet on Tuesday to discuss the aggression in Ukraine under Article 4 of the Washington Treaty, for the fourth time in NATO's history, Sikorski wrote on Twitter late on Monday.
The meeting was requested by Poland, Minister Sikorski said.
Under Article 4, any ally can request consultations whenever, in the opinion of any of them, their territorial integrity, political independence or security is threatened. (PAP)

Author Notes: Many of my clients with dietary restrictions tell me how they miss the foods they used to eat. I take great pleasure in finding satisfying, nourishing and (most important!) delicious ways to help them find the joy in eating again.
Late winter citrus and fresh maple syrup are two of my most favorite treats. This recipe is friendly for most food allergies and sensitivities, but it is also wonderful for those of us who don't have any food restrictions (in fact, none of my taste testers have food restrictions).
In developing this recipe, my taste testers were tied between the filling with tapioca or corn starch. Tapioca starch produces a gooey texture that clings to every crumb of the shortbread crust. Corn starch is much more firm and less sticky. My recommendation is to use whichever appeals to you the most (or whichever you happen to have on hand!).
P.S. Thank you Christian Kahle for the beautiful photo! —Slow Cooked Pittsburgh
Serves: 6
Gluten Free Shortbread Tart Shell
cup white or brown rice flour
cup coconut flour
tablespoons tapioca starch/flour
cup coconut oil (solid, room temperature)
cup pure maple syrup
Vegan Blood Orange and Maple Custard
cup freshly squeezed blood orange juice
skin from oranges, cut into thin strips
cup pure maple syrup
ounces full fat coconut milk (reserve 4 oz.)
tablespoons tapioca or corn starch (see note in introduction)
Gluten Free Shortbread Tart Shell
- Combine flours and tapioca starch. Using your fingers, blend coconut oil with the dry mixture until you have a course crumb with some pieces no larger than a pea (you can also pulse this mixture in a food processor). Drizzle maple syrup over dry mixture, working it through with your fingers until a crumbly dough forms.
- Gather dough and place on a single piece of plastic wrap, cover with another sheet of wrap. Roll the dough until ¼ inch thick. Remove top layer of plastic wrap and carefully slide dough into tart pan. This dough is extremely crumbly and it will break! Don't worry, just gather as many large pieces as you can to fill in any cracks or seams, pressing gently to seal. (You can also simply press the dough into your tart pans—this is a much quicker method but the crust will be slightly uneven in some places). Bake tart shells in preheated oven at 325 for 15-20 minutes (until just beginning to brown).
Vegan Blood Orange and Maple Custard
- For garnish: Cut skin from blood oranges into thin strips, place in pot with cold water and bring to vigorous boil. Allow skins to boil for approximately 30 seconds, strain and repeat this process two more times, starting with fresh cold water each time. (This process softens the peel and removes bitterness). Return the orange skins to the pot and add the maple syrup. Simmer on medium low heat for 20-30 minutes (until syrup is reduced by 1/3). Strain orange peel, being certain to reserve the syrup, and leave to dry on a metal rack. This garnish is particularly lovely the first day when still soft, though it continues to be delicious as it dries and becomes more chewy.
- For custard: Simmer blood orange juice in a pan over medium heat until reduced by ½. Add reserved maple syrup, allow to simmer on low heat. Whisk reserved coconut milk with tapioca or corn starch (this is a slurry), being certain to combine thoroughly. Add remaining coconut milk to blood orange and maple syrup mixture, raising heat to bring mixture to a slow simmer. In a steady stream, slowly pour slurry into heated orange maple mixture, whisking vigorously and constantly to prevent lumps. When the slurry is fully incorporated, increase heat, bringing mixture to a boil, stirring constantly the entire time. Boil and whisk for approximately 1-2 minutes until mixture is thick and you can no longer taste the starch. Pour custard into pre-baked tart shells and chill until well set (4 hours or so). Garnish with candied peel.

By Greg Grisolano, staff writer
Drift racing and semi-trucks seem like they should go together about as well as ice cream and onions, right?
Not in Mike Ryan's world.
Ryan, an OOIDA member from Santa Clarita, Calif., is a renowned stunt driver and champion truck racer. He discovered the combination a few years ago while competing in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, a 12.42-mile race that takes drivers up nearly 5,000 feet to the summit of the mountain.
"I make my living as a stunt driver, and I've worked on 'Fast and Furious 5' and 6. I'm currently working on Fast 7, as well as 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier.' That's what I do," he said in a phone interview with Land Line. "It took me a while to build up the courage to try it in the truck. And then it occurred to me that all the years Pike's Peak was dirt that I raced up there, I was sliding sideways in the dirt. So it just took a little bit of practice to figure out how to do it on the pavement."
The experience prompted Ryan to make a drifting video in 2011 of his souped-up Freightliner Cascadia rig on a stunt course at an abandoned Marine barracks in El Toro, Calif. The video of that run, "Size Matters," became a YouTube sensation and has garnered over 1.8 million views.
"I thought I'd flip it. I thought I'd tear it up and wreck it, but fortunately I haven't hurt it too much," he said. "My stomach was definitely in my throat the first few times (attempting to drift). Just getting a feel of what it would do, and what it wanted to do, and what it wanted from me to be able to drift it."
Now, Ryan and his crew are at it again, having released the follow-up video, "Size Matters 2." Shot during a single day at the Matson terminal at the Port of Long Beach, the video features Ryan's rig competing in a "gymkhana" style race against a rally car driver. Gymkhana races are typically speed or time trial events around an obstacle course.
The course at the Matson terminal is no joke – featuring shipping containers, port authority police, fork-lifts and a jump obstacle.
"With a truck, my title of 'Size Matters' is essentially that," he said. "Lots of people might be able to do (the stunts) in a rally car. Try it in a 10,000-pound truck. So 'Size Matters 2' needed to be in a world where only trucks live. Not really a car world."
Ryan said the biggest problem was having only one day to shoot.
"The location fee, and the permit fee, and the insurance fee was over half of our budget," he said. "We didn't have any 'take twos.' We didn't have time for any."
"Size Matters 2" already has over 1.2 million views on YouTube, as of press time.
The truck itself is something of a marvel of modern engineering. Like most racing vehicles, it features a large spoiler on the back to help with stability. The truck also features custom suspension and electronics.
Under the hood is a 2,400 HP Detroit Diesel Series 60 race spec engine, with a super-turbo charge air system built by Gale Banks.
"They really paid attention to giving us more bottom end and more drivable power," he said. "You can have all the horsepower in the world, but if you can't put it to the ground and manage it, then it's not very useful."
Ryan said he hopes the video will help gain support and interest for ChampTruck World Series, a road racing series he and his partners are planning to bring to North America, which will feature Class 8 tractors with commercially available diesel engines.
"We had our first ChampTruck at Mid-America (Trucking Show)," he said. "We're hoping to have a dozen trucks ready to compete within the next six months. We want to start building some teams and use them as pace cars and other media vehicles." LL

And so, finally, after two statements and a series of responses, the debate was brought to an end. It had been decided that there wouldn't be a vote to see which speaker the audience believed had won -- which I thought was wise, given the partisan nature of the crowd and the fact that it was pretty unlikely than anybody had changed their mind in response to the arguments they'd heard.
Instead there was a short informal discussion chaired by one Peter S. Williams, during which Atkins made it clear that he regarded atheism as the normative state of human belief, such that it didn't really need arguments to justify it, and continued to hold to the line that Craig's arguments were wholly faith-based. He felt Craig was placing anecdotes over evidence -- despite his own Independent aside and in determined scorning of Craig's references to Borde, Guth, and Vilenkin's work -- and condescendingly claimed that Craig's arguments would have gone down a storm a thousand years ago.
Nonsense, of course; Craig's argument would have been impossible a thousand years ago, not least because the Aristotelian revolution as led by the likes of Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas didn't happen until the thirteenth century. Yes, the same Aristotelian revolution that gave the scientific method its theoretical and first practical underpinnings, because western science only became possible when Aristotelian thinking was tied with the Christian belief that God had made the Universe in a way that was reliable, and that nature would therefore act in accordance with natural laws.
Anyway, when quizzed on where he stood on philosophy in general, Atkins dismissed it out of hand, calling it 'a complete waste of time'. He conceded that moral philosophy has its uses -- he could hardly do otherwise, given how he'd argued that morality is something we work out ourselves -- but insisted that philosophy in general was just idle speculation.
He didn't seem aware of just how bizarre, not to mention ironic, that claim was coming from the mouth of someone who'd quoted Voltaire, cited Zeno, and argued against miracles on the basis of David Hume's philosophy, but then, he didn't seem a particular thoughtful sort. He seemed blissfully unaware of how the scientific method itself is wholly dependent on a series of philosophical presuppositions, and was scathing when Craig pointed this out to him.
On then to morality, with Atkins equating morality with usefulness -- an attitude that quite a few philosophers, starting with Socrates, would have had cause to question -- and saying that he believed it immoral to intervene in anyone's life. Well, not quite anyone, he explained. If he could intervene in Hitler's life, he would.
I'm not sure what he meant by that. Did he mean if he could go back in time to stop Hitler he would do so? Does he mean that he'd intervene in the life of a modern Hitler? Was he saying he'd go back in time to kill Hitler if he could? Your guess, frankly, is as good as mine.
The only thing I was left certain of, at 21:33 on Wednesday 26 October 2011, Peter Atkins blinked first, being the first person in the evening to mention Nazis.
And so, with Godwin's Law finally having been fulfilled, it was time to call the evening to a close.
We'd a good chat in the pub afterwards, mind.

**Movie Review**
Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, half human/vampire, guardians of the Moroi, peaceful, mortal vampires living discretely within our world. Her legacy is to protect the Moroi from bloodthirsty, immortal Vampires, the Strigoi. This is her story.
My Review:
Being as I'm stuck in Brazil I had to wait for this to come out on DVD and had to pay a small fortune for this to get to me. I'm also late on all the ramblings this movie has awakening in the Book Blogging Community, but I'd still like to put in my 2 cents.
I just don't know why everyone is so against this movie. I've read Vampire Academy as a book series and sure it was awesome. I must admit that I didn't really have any expectations when I went to watch this movie. The reason behind that is because of ALL the horrible things the bloggers I follow have been saying about it.
Well here's a news flash guys: NO movie will EVER be able to capture the book in it's original form. If you can get that through your head then you can watch this with an open mind.
Yes, it's not perfect. Hell, I hated the casting. Dimitri especially. He's looks like he's 30 in the movie. I imagined him as a 23-24 year old when I read the series. So yes, I have issues with this movie, BUT it. Wasn't. As. Bad. As. Everyone. Keeps. Saying.
With that out of the way, let me also say that it seemed VERY rushed. The mood was also too juvenile and pushed to hard to be funny. That took a lot away from the movie.
Final Considerations:
This movie (for a movie) was OK. It wasn't epic (like the books) and it wasn't awful (like the 2 hour long Harry Potter movies I had to endure watching. I'm not a fan of those, please don't hurt me for saying that!). It was a nice average. If your a hardcore fan and even a detail out of place makes your head hurt I wouldn't recommend this, but if your laid back and just want to see an awesome book series come to life on the big screen without judging, then this is for you.
My Rating:

Karuna grew up in Bandra, Bombay; studied fashion design at Sophia college, worked at Zeba with Krsna Mehta, freelanced as a designer/stylist for some time..and has been working at Elle for the last 4 years.
…likes sea food & beach holidays; Young the Giant & Fleetwood Mac; fresh herbs & Russh; gardens & new shoes; apple cider & grocery shopping; smell of a new book, and discovering quirky finds in all kinds of markets. Dislikes Monday mornings & lack of space in Bombay.
What did you want to be when you were a kid?
Till the age of 10, I wanted to be an actress. I was a big fan of Madhuri, and I loved to dance so I would copy her steps….then slowly, things changed.
At LFW, Ruchika Sachdeva was my favourite. Very London street chic and yet sophisticated. I loved her androgynous separates…totally my style.
At Wills, I liked Ela by Joyjit. Amit Aggarwal. Loved Cue by Rohit Gandhi. And Sanchita Ajjampur.
I constantly use Rajesh Pratap, Cue, A&T, Pankaj & Nidhi for shoots. I love Mathieu's work forBungalow 8. Also Savio Jon, Dries Van Noten, & Marni.
Amongst models I like Rachel Bayros & Nidhi Sunil. I did a shoot with Nidhi in Jaisalmer and she was lovely. Also Natasha poly.
Amongst photographers: Tarun Vishwa. Mert & Marcus. Takay.
The crazy people, the creative minds, and the maddening pace all leading to transform a small idea into something big and inspiring, and yes I would like to believe…life changing.
And hate…
A few big egos in the industry. We are all here to work so let's not be a diva now.
I take my work home all the time. If something is not done, it's always on my mind, and I have very little patience.
Cook, entertain my dog, sometimes shop, watch lots of films, and browse design blogs endlessly. And yes, have a marriage…
Is the Lanvin fashion film counted?
Blogs you read..
Tons of them. coco+kelly. style bubble. decor8. inspired living. becauseimaddicted.
Markets you shop at..
Vintage stores in East london – you get real cheap bargains. I got this sequined blouse for 15 pounds; nobody believes me. Then I did 2 months' shopping in 2 hours at Sarojini. I am a cheap skate when it comes to buying clothes.
Looking forward to?
I've styled the January cover, so that, and the resort story. Putting together any shoot is super exciting and nerve wracking…but absolutely love it.
Who's on the cover?

Installation: UEFI
This is an alternate version of the basic install walkthrough, with additional information specific to installation on UEFI platforms.
More advanced installation methods for various specialized installs are also available on this Wiki.
UEFI support is built into the current Void Live images and UEFI-based installation should go fairly smoothly on well-behaved platforms. So where it was once necessary to use manual installation procedures to install Linux in UEFI mode (as it was in many distributions), today it should not as often be necessary for a basic (non-specialized) install.
- 1 Getting Started
- 2 Installation
- 3 Post-Installation
- 4 Notes/Issues
Getting Started
LiveCD ISOs for the various flavors of Void can be downloaded from https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/live/current/ to be burned to a CD, mounted in a VM or copied for use on a Flash drive.
For further information regarding the live images and system requirements, see Live Images.
Boot your machine using the previously-created installation medium.
You should make sure your computer is booted in UEFI mode. Many motherboards will do so by default, but it can still vary from one platform to the next. Once booted into the install environment, you can double-check by looking for the
/sys/firmware/efi/ directory. If it present, then you are presently running in UEFI mode; if not, then you are working in Legacy (BIOS) mode.
You can choose to run the live image from the media, or, if you have the resources available, you can load the contents of the limage into RAM. This option takes some time at the beginning but provides a quicker-overall installation procedure.
Once the live image has booted to a login prompt, log in as
root using password
voidlinux and then run:
# void-installer
Select the keymap for your keyboard; standard "qwerty" keybaords will generally use the "us" keymap.
Select your primary network interface. If you use DHCP on your network, select that option, otherwise the installer will prompt for IP address, netmask and gateway.
Choose whether you want to install from a local source (the packages that are included on the ISO) or from the network (in which case packages are downloaded from the Void remote repositories). Installing from the network allows you to install the most up-to-date packages available from the official repositories. Note that installing from local will also install any desktop installed on the disk (e.g. xfce).
Set a hostname for your computer remembering the best practice that hostnames should be all lower case, with no spaces.
Configure your default locale settings; this will be used to set the libc locale.
Select your timezone from the list of standard timezone options.
Enter and confirm the password used for the root account on your new Void installation. The password will not be shown on screen.
Choose a login (default void) and a descriptive name for that login (default Void User). Then enter and confirm the password for this default user. Finally you may chose to modify the group memberships for the user or go with the defaults.
Determine whether you'd like to use the installer to automatically install GRUB2 to the EFI system partition, or choose none if you'd like to install/configure an EFI loader manually after completing the installation process.
Provided that you made sure to boot into UEFI mode, this should work on most well-behaved UEFI systems. See the notes section regarding possible issues.
If you partitioned your disk outside of the Void installer(fdisk, cfdisk), you may skip the step. You should nevertheless read through this section for information regarding specific UEFI requirements to make sure your layout is compliant.
Void does not provide an automatic/preset partition scheme, so you will need to create this manually using cfdisk. However, in the case of UEFI, there are some special considerations that need to be made.
First, while UEFI systems are supposed to support MBR-based partition tables, the reality may be less predictable and the newer GPT scheme is going to be a better choice, especially if you have one of the larger Advanced Format disks. Use GPT.
Second, you need to create an EFI system partition, generally the first one. It does not need to be large; it is common to create one between 200MB and 1GB. When you create this partition in cfdisk, you need to change the type from the default "Linux" to the type appropriate to the ESP:
- For GPT disks, change the type to
EFI System.
- For MBR (DOS) disks, create a primary partition and change the type to
ef(EFI). [Not recommended]
You can then partition up the remaining free space as you choose for your Linux installation. See Disks#Partitioning for further information.
Create the filesystems used to populate the partitions you just created. Choose your filesystem type, specify the mountpoint and create the filesystem, if necessary, for each partition you mean to modify.
The EFI System Partition requires the use of the FAT12/16/32 filesystem. Be sure to select
vfat for this filesystem and give it the mount point
Once finished, select Back to return to the main installer menu. For additional information, see Disks#Filesystems.
Review Settings
Before installing, its generally a good idea to review the installation settings. Arrow right from the main menu to select settings and use <enter> to review.
This step of the installer creates the filesystems specified in the previous step, then downloads all of the base packages (if configured to install via Network) and copies them to the target partition/partitions configured in the previous steps. After that, the installer generates an initramfs and installs GRUB2 to the EFI System partition.
If you chose to install the Grub2 EFI loader, now is actually a good time (before you reboot) to double-check and see if the system firmware has Grub in its BootOrder. See the notes section below for details.
After the installation is successfully completed, you can reboot into your new Void Linux install!
Once you boot into your new Void installation, continue to Post-installation for further configuration tips.
Notes on Grub2 EFI Loader installation.
Grub2 possesses the ability to install an EFI loader to the EFI System Partition, as well as to modify the BootOrder variable in the system firmware. This works on most well-behaved UEFI imlementations. However, there are reports of a couple of issues on some systems/motherboards:
- The BootOrder variable is not updated.
- The BootOrder is not saved/followed by the system.
If the BootOrder variable fails to be updated, then the system will not boot the newly-installed Void system without some extra configuration.
To confirm that BootOrder has been updated before your final reboot, you can run the command
efibootmgr with no arguments. The output should include something like this:
BootOrder: 0000,0003,0004 Boot0000* void_grub Boot0003* CD/DVD Drive Boot0004 EFI Internal Shell
See the man page for
efibootmgr for more information on the capabilities and use of this program. If you see the option "void_grub" and it is listed first in BootOrder, then the variables have been successfully updated, and you can try to reboot. If not, keep reading.
In cases where BootOrder is either not updated, or not saved/followed after you reboot, then you should try copying grubx64.efi to the common default EFI loader location. You'll need to mount your EFI partition, and we'll assume it's on /mnt/. (In your installed Void system, the mount point would normally be /boot/efi/)
# install -D /mnt/EFI/void_grub/grubx64.efi /mnt/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi
On 32-bit firmware it should be
# install -D /mnt/EFI/void_grub/grubia32.efi /mnt/EFI/boot/bootia32.efi
You may then need to set the default boot disk in your computer's setup utility, but Void/Grub2 should boot correctly after this.
Note that you can boot your system back into the LiveCD to perform this operation if you were unable to boot to your Void Installation.
Notes on Partitioning
Cfdisk does not give me a choice of partition table type.
If the disk has already been initialized, cfdisk will continue with the partition table layout already present.
If your disk was previously partitioned with the MBR scheme, you will see the text "label: dos" near the top of the cfdisk screen. At this point, you will want to back out of the installer and run cfdisk manually with the "-z" option to start with an uninitialized disk layout, where you will then be prompted for the label type and continue with a new partition layout.
If the disk was previously using GPT, then you will see the text "Label: gpt" near the top of the cfdisk screen.
Multiple Partitions
It is common practice to put various subdirectories of / onto their own mounted partition, and there often good reasons for doing so.
However, it is important to note, because of Void's adoption of a more modern method for laying out the file system (known as the "/usr merge"), you must not try to place
/usr on a separate partition. When you attempt to do so, the installer will inform you that this is not supported in Void. For information as to the "whats" and "whys" of the /usr merge, please see https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseForTheUsrMerge/.
Separate Boot Partition: While there are very few cases where this would be useful today, some people will opt to create a separate /boot partition, creating a nested mount scenario, where you have one partition mounted at /boot/ and a second partition mounted at /boot/efi.
This creates a problem in the installer where it may fail at grub-install, as the /boot/efi directory isn't created on the /boot/ partition. To avoid this particular failure the options are as follows:
- In the Filesystems stage, make sure to assign the EFI System Partition last. As long as /boot is assigned before /boot/efi, then it will be mounted before the creation of the /boot/efi/ mountpoint, and no trouble will arise.
- Don't use a separate /boot/ partition. One of the few cases where it might be desirable would be when having an encrypted root, but unencrypted /boot. Various ways of booting encrypted systems and the reasoning behind each is a rather large discussion of its own.
- To the author's knowledge, Grub is the only EFI loader that, at the time of this writing, can open LUKS/LVM containers itself, so the use of other loaders would require the kernel and initrd to be on an unencrypted filesystem.
- Another way to deal with this would be to use the ESP as /boot/ itself, but there are issues. Grub will need to be installed manually, as the installer assumes the ESP exists at /boot/efi/ and you will have to override this.
- Lastly, you could use your preferred EFI loader to control all boot options, but allow it to chainload Grub which can handle booting your encrypted Linux installation. Obviously this does not avoid the use of Grub, so if that is one's goal, then this is not a satisfying option.
This can actually be an issue for any nested mount scenario, though such schemes aren't that common, and may not need to be configured at install-time.
Platform-specific notes
Bitness - Note that UEFI loader bitness (i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit) must match that of the firmware. So 64-bit firmware only runs a 64-bit loader (bootx64.efi), while 32-bit firmware only runs a 32-bit loader (bootia32.efi).
However, the loader can switch the CPU mode, so it is possible to boot a 64-bit kernel from a 32-bit EFI loader (given support in the loader), provided the CPU is actually x86_64 architecture. The reverse is also true (32-bit EFI kernel booted by a 64-bit EFI loader).
This applies only to firmware bitness. It is still not possible, for obvious reasons, to load a 64-bit OS on a 32-bit CPU.

Yes, SP is limited to one language at a time, and you need to recompile whenever changing a message. It'd be simple (but somewhat ugly) to have separate binaries of (lq-)nsgmls for each language. It should also be possible to hack SP's message system to support multiple languages, but I'm not sure if this is worthwhile as the advantage--being able to quickly update the parser for all languages--seems to be outweighed by the disadvantage--making it harder to integrate future changes from the one-language SP. > plus it leaves us with a divergen version > of SP. FWIW, the changes for lq-nsgmls are at <http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/src/sp-1.3.4/>. There are only a few files that differ, and you can leave behind my URLStorage changes if you like (those changes add support for name-based virtual hosts when fetching DTDs).

I'm going to post n' run today because we have a daunting 10 hour car ride in front of us. As tedious as the journey is, the destination makes it all worth it. My good friend Heidi (who was a BM in my wedding) is tying the knot in South Bend!
I am so so so excited for her big day and after what happened with the whole bachelorette debacle, I am beyond ready to see her again!
Thanks to the glory of Pinterest (seriously, what would we do without it?), I found the most INCREDIBLE set of colorful clutches, all of which would be perfect on your big day. Why have an ivory clutch when you can have one that is coral, blue or yellow?
I mean, how adorable are these? I love the ruffles, the size and the colors! Plus, you can customize them more by adding a fancy pin or brooch!
Happy Thursday, ya'll!

To undetectably fabricate data is difficult. It requires both (i) a good understanding of the phenomenon being studied (what do measures of this construct tend to look like?, which variables do they correlate with and by how much?, how often and what type of outliers are observed?, etc.), and (ii) a good understanding of how sampling error is expected to influence the data (e.g., how much variation and of what kind should estimates of this construct exhibit for the observed sample size and design?).
This paper makes two main points. First, information already included in most psychology publications, e.g., means and standard deviations, can be analyzed in light of points (i) and (ii) above, to identify likely cases of fraud. Second, the availability of raw data is an invaluable complement to verify the presence, and identify the precise nature of, fabrication. The paper illustrates these points through the analyses used to uncover two cases of fraud in psychology.
Both cases were first identified exclusively through the statistical analysis of means and standard deviations reported in published papers, by examining whether estimates across independent samples were too similar to each other to have originated in random samples
Paper here.
h/t Joe McGee.
I suppose that the trouble with this approach is that someone who understood the detection algorithm could falsify the data better. I suppose the fakers might be fakers because they are too lazy or dim to do even that. This has been my experience with student fraud. Then again, I probably only catch the lazy and dim ones, giving me a select sample…

Alley oops! Obama struggles in basketball display
April 1 - White House spin machine goes into damage control as U.S. President Barack Obama struggles to find the net in basketball exhibition. Deborah Gembara reports.
Sure he's the Commander in Chief but keeping command of his jump shot wasn't so easy for President Obama during this shoot around with professional basketball players and children at the White House. Only two of his more than twenty shots found its target. White House spokesman Jay Carney was asked about Obama's poor performance SOUNDBITE: White House spokesman Jay Carney saying: "I have not spoken to him about that, but the President doesn't get to practice probably as much as he would like to. Having done a few shoot-arounds with him, he's a pretty good shot - pretty good shot." Obama, a 51-year-old lefty, is an avid basketball enthusiast. It's not unusual for him to play in pickup games at a Washington area military base on the weekends.

Bradesco CEO Luiz Carlos Trabuco has come under criticism for the somewhat lackluster performance of the company's stock throughout his tenure as CEO. However, many of his critics may have simply had unrealistic expectations about what one man could do after inheriting a firm that had largely expended all prospects for organic growth, in a market increasingly characterized by cutthroat competition and poor macroeconomic indicators.
Even so, there is silver lining in Luiz Carlos Trabuco's reign in the executive suite. In 2015, he completed the all-cash purchase of HSBC Brazil, instantly propelling his firm to the top of the Brazilian financial space in multiple different categories. Although this move has not yet translated into huge gains in Bradesco's stock price, the stock has risen sharply over the last year. This is an indicator that the market is giving Trabuco and his long-term strategy a vote of confidence. The firm is better positioned now than at any time in its past to become the undisputed leader in the Brazilian financial sector.
But Trabuco still has many vocal critics. Part of the problem is the fault of Trabuco's own reputation. Upon acceding to CEO at age 57, the inveterate banker had experienced one of the most unrelentingly successful careers of anyone in Brazilian banking. Thus, Trabuco's own past performance raised the bar to a level that he could no longer possibly clear.
Luiz Carlos Trabuco may not have lit the world on fire as CEO, at least not yet. But to know where the company is headed and how the executive thinks about his business, it's worth looking at the philosophies that rocketed him from the lowest job at the firm to the mahogany-bound executive suite.
The old guard gives way to modernity
When Luiz Carlos Trabuco got his first job at a small local bank called Bradesco in 1969, neither he nor anyone he worked with knew that he would become the bank's brightest star. Hired on as a teller, he quickly gained the confidence of his superiors, proven himself to be an able employee and a fast learner. Over the next 10 years he began slowly but steadily rising through the ranks, putting himself through school in the process. By 1984, he held a master's degree in social psychology and had extensive management experience. He was appointed as the head of the firm's marketing office.
Trabuco, a product of both the modern university and the real-world Brazilian banking sector did not agree with the old philosophy that all customers should be treated equally. The bank's customer service philosophy was little different than that of Henry Ford, who once stated that his customers could have any color car they chose, so long as it was black. Trabuco instead saw the opportunity for a high degree of differentiation, not so much in the product itself but in the service with which the product was delivered. He knew that with a commodity business like banking, while product differentiation is still possible within limited bounds, it is all but impossible to gain a real competitive edge solely on the basis of a superior product alone. Trabuco began making the bank's service and customer experience part of the product, crafting marketing campaigns that emphasized this new philosophy. Over the next 8 years, the firm grew like never before.
In 1992, Trabuco's successes made him an easy pick to head up the company's burgeoning financial planning division. Immediately upon becoming its president, Trabuco began moving to create a nearly totally separate business for high-net-worth clients. Branded Bradesco Prime, this service features 24/7 personal bankers, separate, luxuriously appointed facilities and complimentary benefits that included such things as first-class tickets and hotel rooms. The strategy proved enormously successful. Within five years, Trabuco had grown the financial planning division from a negligible part of the firm's business into a unit accounting for more than 25 percent of its total profits.

Dental Implants in Danville
Permanently Replace Your Missing Teeth
When properly designed and placed, dental implant supported tooth replacements have a 98% rate of success, and innovations in dental care make it possible for almost any patient to undergo dental implant supported tooth replacement. Implants provide a stable, permanent fixture that takes the place of a missing tooth. An implant consists of a small, titanium post anchored into the sockets left by missing teeth. The dental implant procedure consists of placing these titanium posts into the bone socket of the missing tooth. As the jawbone heals, it grows around the implanted metal post, anchoring it securely in the jaw. The healing process can take from six to twelve weeks. During this time, you will have a temporary crown in place to protect and aid in healing, as well as provide function for chewing and speaking. Once treatment is complete, the implants act like natural tooth roots and keep your jawbone intact and strong. These posts can be used to secure individual teeth, bridgework, partials, or full dentures. With implants, the patient does not have to worry about slippage, and no existing teeth are altered during placement.
The most versatile tooth replacement solution available, dental implants can be used to restore smiles following the loss of a single tooth or a full arch of teeth. Some of the many benefits of dental implant supported tooth replacement over other options include:
- Because both the roots and crowns of teeth are replaced, the resultant replacement prosthetic is more natural looking and feeling
- The improved stability of dental implant supported tooth replacements makes it easier to talk, smile, and chew with complete confidence
- Compared to partials that are attached to surrounding teeth or full dentures that rub against the gum line, dental implant supported prosthetics are much more comfortable
- When cared for with regular oral hygiene and checkup visits with the dentist, implant supported restorations can last for decades
Because dental implants require that you have a strong jawbone, our doctors will have to examine you and ask about your health history and medications you take before moving forward with the service.
Danville Dental Associates sees dental patients from Danville, Chatham, Martinsville, Ridgeway, South Boston, and the surrounding areas, as well as Yanceyville, Reidsville, Eden, and communities in North Carolina just south of Danville. Please contact our office today to schedule an appointment. To make our services more obtainable to our patients, Danville Dental Associates has established the Danville Dental Discount Program.

Just over half of Nursing Times readers who answered a snap web poll last week say they are not confident they would recognise the signs and symptoms of acute kidney injury.
In our online Poll of the Week, 45% of the 48 respondents answered "yes" when asked whether they were confident they would spot it, but 55% answered "no".
Our question follows media coverage of new guidance on acute kidney injury by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.
NICE said that, while up to 18% of hospital patients developed the condition, evidence suggested healthcare workers were not being sufficiently educated about it.
More information on identifying acute kidney injury, including monitoring fluid intake and urine production, can be found in the NICE guideline document that was published on 28 August.
Nursing Times polls readers each week on a topical question related to nursing in the news. Check www.nursingtimes.net to answer the current question:
Do you think patient feedback should form part of nurse revalidation?
Readers' comments (1)
The NICE guidelines are helpful to focus attention. We, nurses need to take the generic advice forward and look more critically at how we monitor fluid balance, measure and test urine and provide good hydration care. The evidence is highlighting weaknesses in these core activities and we could do with collectively having a debate on how to improve those functions. Some of it is awareness and education but also the 'tools of the trade' may not be the best or most effective (fluid balance charts, urinalysis, sustaining patient hydration).
