The Aviary's webcam at the Pitt peregrine nest is so cool!
As of tonight the website is streaming live video so you can see the falcons in action from high atop the Cathedral of Learning.
The camera is so good you can even see the birds at night! Here's a picture of Dorothy taken just after 10pm. (Click here to learn why she isn't sitting on the eggs full time yet.)
To see the live stream, click on the picture or go directly to the Aviary's webcam.

This is really neat. I keep the website up on my computer and regularly check in. Just a thought: poor bird, how boring to sit hour after hour, day after day — no book to read or TV to watch to while away the time. How many days/weeks does she do this? And, I forget, does papa take over occasionally?
I'm glad I stumbled across your blog Kate. Thanks for the heads up on the falcon cam at Pitt. Great to see three of my favorite institutions intersecting on the subject of birds – Pitt, National Aviary WQED.
Answers to Libby's questions:
How long does she incubate? The eggs usually hatch 38-40 days after the first one is laid and all within 24 hours or so. Since Dorothy starts incubating after the 3rd egg is laid that means she has 34-36 days of incubation ahead of her. I have often wondered how she copes with being so inactive. Since all mother birds go through this there may be a hormonal adjustment that helps.
Does papa take over occasionally? Yes! In the morning he goes hunting at dawn, brings her food and then takes over at the nest. After she's eaten and flown a little she comes back & resumes incubation. You can sometimes tell who is who by size. He looks pretty small after you've gotten used to seeing her.

Can you tell anything about the origins of the new male based on his legbands? Are there marks on the bands to tell who banded him? Where he was banded, etc?
About how many falcons are known to be around the area?
So far (as of 4/15/08) we have only been able to see the color of the bands on the new male peregrine at Pitt. We haven't been able to read the numbers. The colors indicate he was banded in the eastern US or Canada. That's a HUGE area to choose from. We won't know anything more until we can read the numbers on his bands.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Lobos overcome 13-point deficit, stay in first place
FRESNO, Calif. – The New Mexico Lobos, as only they can, proved again Wednesday night that there is a very fine line between being a nationally ranked, first-place team in the Mountain West Conference and being the team sitting at the bottom.
Keyed by timely steals and hard-nosed defense down the stretch, the Lobos allowed only one basket in the final 10 minutes, 3 seconds of the game and beat the Fresno State Bulldogs 54-48 in front of a generously announced turnout of 8,241 in the Save Mart Center.
After erasing an 11-point halftime deficit, the Lobos (21-4, 8-2 in the Mountain West) remain alone in first place in the league standings despite Colorado State's home win over San Diego State, improving the Rams to 20-4 and 7-2 in league games.
"They just find a way," New Mexico head coach Steve Alford said, shaking his head trying to explain his team's good fortune as he has after several close games this season.
"They shoot 37 percent and win a road game. … They just find ways to win and make big shots when they need to."
It looked like it would be a laugher early on as Fresno State (8-15, 2-8) started slow.
A Demetrius Walker jumper with 8:12 remaining in the first half put UNM up 16-9, and everything seemed to be going the way of the first-place Lobos.
But that was the final basket of the half for UNM (the Lobos did hit four free throws) and Fresno State caught fire on offense, closing the half out on a 22-4 run. The Bulldogs held a 31-20 halftime lead.
"We had a really bad eight-minute stretch where we didn't make any shots, and I thought we were soft defensively," Alford said.
The Lobo's offensive woes – they hit just 7-of-27 shots (25.9 percent) in the first half – brought back bad memories of losses at San Diego State and Saint Louis that featured long scoring droughts.
"It wasn't really a basketball game," UNM sophomore point guard Hugh Greenwood said. "I don't know how to describe it. To be up seven, then come into the half down 11. It's deflating."
But UNM, which was actually down by 13 in the first half, managed to erase a double-digit second-half deficit for the fourth time this season by getting back to a defense-first mindset.
"The guys, the players deserve the credit," Alford said. "The players got the job done in the second half. You're down 11 on the road at half, and you play the way we played in the second half, it was outstanding."
A Tony Snell 3-pointer with 16:33 left capped a 7-0 run for UNM out of the break, cutting the Fresno State lead to 33-27. By the 14-minute mark, the Lobos had it down to 35-33.
They didn't take their first lead of the second half until a Kendall Williams dunk, off a beautiful back-door pass from Snell, with 11:07 remaining to go up 41-40.
Then Fresno answered with a 5-0 run capped by an Aaron Anderson 3-pointer with 10:03 remaining to put the Bulldogs up 45-41.
"It's the definition of chipping away," Greenwood said. "We'd score five points, they'd score four points. We were slowly, slowly chipping away."
After the Anderson 3-pointer, FSU hit only one more shot – a Kevin Olekaibe 3-pointer – in the final 10 minutes of the game.
A Cameron Bairstow dunk with 1:29 remaining put UNM up for good at 49-48, and the Lobos executed at every turn in the closing minute.
Sophomore center Alex Kirk had 10 points, nine rebounds and a career-high six blocked shots. Bairstow added 10 boards. Williams had a team-high 13 points and five assists. Greenwood had seven points, three assists, five rebounds and three steals, including two off inbounds plays, the last with 6.2 seconds left, as Fresno State trailed 52-48.
Instead, Greenwood stole the ball, passed up court to Williams for a dunk and an exclamation point.
Fresno State was held to 32.7 percent shooting (18-of-55). Olekaibe led all Bulldogs with 11 points, and Kevin Foster came off the bench with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
WALKER INJURED: UNM junior guard Demetrius Walker hurt his left knee late in the first half and did not return to the game. He had five points in seven minutes of play. Alford said he is still unsure the extent of the injury.
Walker walked out of the locker room on his own power, albeit with a noticeable limp.

~Party Doll~Buddy Knox (1957)
Buddy Wayne Knox (July 20, 1933 - February 14, 1999) was an American singer and songwriter, best known for his 1957 rockabilly hit song, "Party Doll" written by Buddy Knox and Jimmy Bowen. It was performed by Buddy Knox with the Rhythm Orchids and became a hit on the Roulette label.
Buddy Knox was a teenager living near Happy, Texas in 1948 when he wrote the original verses of "Party Doll" behind a haystack on his family farm. While attending college at West Texas State University, he and two college friends, Jimmy Bowen and Don Lanier, traveled to Clovis, New Mexico to record the song at the studio of Norman Petty. Knox's sister and two of her friends, Iraene Potts of Amarilo and a neighbor, sang background vocals on the song and a girl from the marching band of Clovis High School was recruited to play cymbal. After pressing copies of the record, a DJ in Amarillo began playing "Party Doll" in 1956 and it soon became a regional hit. After being contacted by Roulette Records in New York City, the song was distributed around the U.S. and became a chart-topping hit, spending a week at #1 on the Top 100 chart, the precursor to the Billboard Hot 100, in March 1957
"Party Doll" was voted one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.~Source Wikipedia

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The reaction to Apple's (AAPL) earnings doesn't prove that society stinks or that the tech market is about to crash.
It proves that Tim Cook's honeymoon as Apple CEO is over.
In the almost two-and-a-half years since taking over from the late Steve Jobs, Cook has shown himself to be an able manager of Jobs' legacy. He has extracted huge profits from Jobs' ideas and has kept the iOS trains running on time.
But high-tech valuations aren't driven by able management, huge profits or trains that stay on their tracks. High valuations, in the form of extreme price-to-earnings ratios, come from doing something new, something different, something no one else is doing or can do.
When Apple launched the iPod, the iPhone and then the iPad, that's what it was doing. It was thinking different.
Apple hasn't had a new hit since Cook took over. It has tweaked its existing product line, it has scaled it, extracted money and profit. But it hasn't delivered a single new product worth mentioning.
I'm afraid "mobile commerce" isn't it, either. TouchID, as a way to enable and secure mobile payments, is a nifty thing to have, but it's not a game-changer. It's not transaction processing.
If Apple can help iPhone owners buy more stuff through TouchID, it's still just acting as one link in a long chain, and a minor one at that. The money in transactions comes from processing, it comes from banking and it comes from handling the merchandise.
Even if Apple announced a tie-up tomorrow with, say, Wal-Mart (WMT), turning that merchant's online operations into an Apple version of the Amazon (AMZN) superstore, it wouldn't move the value needle much. It would boost Wal-Mart, not Apple.

Napoli duo's delight at call-up for Italy
Napoli duo Fabiano Santacroce and Christian Maggio have expressed their delight at receiving their first call-ups to the Italy squad.
Defender Santacroce and midfielder Maggio have earned a place in Marcello Lippi´s 23-man team for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Bulgaria and Montenegro following impressive displays in Serie A this season.
"I am thrilled," admitted Santacroce. "I was told of the news by my club's general director Pierpaolo Marino and I still cannot believe it."
It has been a rapid rise for the 22-year-old, who was only playing for Serie B side Brescia last season and has become a regular in Edy Reja´s squad since arriving at Napoli this summer.
"I was speechless," added Santacroce. "I can´t wait to begin this adventure and I thank Napoli for having helped me to get this splendid opportunity."
Santacroce´s club team-mate Maggio was equally ecstatic.
"This is a dream come true," said the 26-year-old. "Finally it has happened and I say finally because I truly believed I would eventually join the national team."
Along with Udinese forward Simone Pepe, Santacroce and Maggio are the only new faces in the Azzurri team.
The World champions take on Bulgaria in Sofia on October 11 before playing host to Montenegro in Lecce four days later.

COLUMBIA, SC July 9, 2014 – The popularity of the PENN® Battle® spinning reel continues to grow as anglers recognize the durability and fishability found in this finely crafted reel. Inspired by design innovations made possible through new technology, PENN introduces the improved Battle II.
Included in the improvements is line management. PENN added line capacity rings to let the angler know when the spool is properly filled. This ensures that the casts are not subject to excess line stripping from the spool, resulting in improved castability.
The Battle II has enhanced corrosion resistance due to the improvements of using five sealed bearings and one anti-reverse bearing.
The Battle II incorporates keyed carbon fiber washers in the HT-100™ drag system that utilizes both sides of the drag washers and increases maximum drag by 15 to 50 percent.
Many original Battle features remain in the Battle II, including the full metal body, sideplate and rotor; instant anti-reverse, heavy-duty aluminum bail wire and superline spool.
Eight Battle II spinning reels are offered in 1000 to 8000 sizes. New to the lineup is the 2500 size designed for inshore/light braid applications.
Nine Battle II spinning combos are also available for inshore, near shore, boat and surf applications. Each rod is paired and balanced with a Battle II reel and range from 6 feet, 6 inches to 10 feet long in actions from medium-light to heavy. Battle II combo rods include a graphite composite blank, aluminum oxide guides, graphite reel seat and either a cork (inshore) or EVA grip.
MSRP for the new Battle II reels range from $99.95 to $129.95; combos are priced from $129.95 to $159.95. All Battle II products will be available in September of 2014.

"The demon of speed is often associated with forgetting, with avoidance...and slowness with memory and confronting," observes Milan Kundera in his novel Slowness.
With that purpose in mind - a search for slowness and tranquility - Andy Merrifield sets out on a journey of the soul with a friend's donkey, Gribouille, to walk amid the ruins and spectacular vistas of southern France's Haute-Auvergne. As Merrifield contemplates literature, science, truth, and beauty amid the French countryside, Gribouille surprises him with his subtle wisdom, reminding him time and again that enlightenment is all around us if we but seek it.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulAugust 16, 2010Reviewer: Rebecca in Florida* This was pretty good, I had the butter pecan flavor. The cereal itself reminds me of Farina. The only thing I didn't like was there was too much artificial sweetener and it had an artificial sweet taste (too sweet and too artificial)... I was hoping that maybe there was a plain flavor so I could add my own flavors... including a sweetener I am accustom tooThis review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
June 22, 2014Reviewer: Denise in Florida* When i first began stirring the water into this cereal, I was a bit scared. It looked a little like gruel, moving in one big glob around the bowl. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it though. It is very smooth, with just a little bit of texture to it, unlike anything I can think of to compare it with. It is a very good consistency. I tried the butter pecan. It is a little unusual, I think just because I am not used to that as a hot cereal flavor, but good. I will definitely want to try the other flavors, but I am undecided if I will buy more butter pecan. If it were the only flavor available I would definitely buy it again. I just think I would prefer a more traditional oatmeal/cream of wheat type flavor.
I added a little butter, 1 splenda, and a splash of cream- the way I would have oatmeal or cream of wheat.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
April 03, 2013Reviewer: A customer in Mississippi* I liked the taste of this cereal much better than the Apple Cinnamon flavor. Disappointed that it is out of stock, as I wanted to reorder.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
February 08, 2013Reviewer: Julia in Wisconsin* I would absolutely give the butter pecan and vanilla almond flavors a 5 star review. I love these cereals. The plain is okay if you ant to try to make your own flavor, but for some reason mine seemed to have a bitter taste that the others flavors did not. The apple cinnamon flavor was gross. I couldn't eat it. I would highly recommend the vanilla almond and butter pecan flavors.
January 25, 2013Reviewer: Chelle in Nebraska* This is my second favorite, behind the butter pecan. Pump it up a little with a drop of real vanilla and a handful of almonds.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond
May 25, 2011Reviewer: Donald in Washington* Not used to sweetened cereal and wish an unsweetened version was available, otherwise I really like the cereal. Unsweetened would have been rated a "5".
April 21, 2011Reviewer: Ana in Florida* Great alternative for the usual eggs for breakfast or protein shakes. I ordered the Cinnamon Apple but I will definitely order the other flavors to try. I used almond milk instead of water and it was great. I've been eating flax seed since I have been eating low carb so the texture didn't bother me one bit.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
November 04, 2010Reviewer: Raven in California* It doesn't really taste like strawberry but it does have a lot of fiber.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Strawberrilicious
August 22, 2010Reviewer: Deborah L in Oregon* Carb, fiber, and protein amounts are excellent but it is way too sweet! I had to add 1/3 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut and 1 Tbsp of cocoa powder to cut the sweetness. I prefer being able to control the sweetness of hot cereal. Otherwise, the flavor is fantastic!This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond

Wildlife Thrives in Southern Sudan, Surveys Reveal
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JEFFREY BROWN: This could be the largest migration of mammals on Earth. A team from the Wildlife Conservation Society and National Geographic recently completed the first aerial wildlife survey in southern Sudan since the start of a civil war in the region in the early 1980s.
What they found was surprising: massive herds of animals that not only survived decades of fighting, but were thriving. One of the project's surveyors was Michael Fay of the Wildlife Conservation Society. He's explorer-in-residence at the National Geographic Society.
And welcome to you.
MICHAEL FAY, Wildlife Conservation Society: Thank you for having me.
JEFFREY BROWN: This was an area that was just too dangerous to be in before this?
MICHAEL FAY: Yes, the war has been raging for over 20 years, and people pretty much cleared out in the very early '80s and haven't been back since.
JEFFREY BROWN: And how big an area are we talking about? What's the terrain like?
MICHAEL FAY: Well, southern Sudan has now been kind of divided from Sudan in general, and it's about as big as Texas.
JEFFREY BROWN: As big as Texas?
MICHAEL FAY: Yes.
JEFFREY BROWN: So what was the expectation going in, that the war had devastated the wildlife population?
MICHAEL FAY: Yes, I mean, usually, you've got armies with lots of light weapons, wildlife available, they obliterate the wildlife. In southern Sudan, that didn't happen. And you ask why? Why didn't that happen? Well, the SPLA had rules against…
JEFFREY BROWN: The SPLA is?
MICHAEL FAY: … the southern Sudanese People's Liberation Army — they had rules against hunting large numbers of animals. But there was also a very large security problem, so people didn't move over the landscape. And we're talking about migratory animals here. So if you've got 800,000 kob moving through a landscape, they might get a few of them as they're passing by, but for most of the time these kob are where people aren't.
Finding unpexpected wildlife
JEFFREY BROWN: So, in this particular area, a peace agreement was signed a couple of years ago, and you're finally able to go in. So tell us what you saw.
MICHAEL FAY: Well, you know, we flew into this survey area that had been surveyed in 1981, where people had found somewhere around 800,000 white-eared kob. And we did a big loop around the park to start with.
JEFFREY BROWN: Sorry, kob, is that a kind of antelope?
MICHAEL FAY: Yes, it's a medium-sized antelope, kind of about the same size as a white-tailed deer. And these guys had found around 800,000 of these animals back in 1981. And we do this big loop around the park, and we see none, and we think, just like everywhere else, it's been devastating.
But then we replicated that survey that had been done in '81, flying the exact same flight lines -- because we had a map, kind of like retracing a treasure map or something like that. So we fly about three or four lines, and when we get to the fourth line, we start picking up kob, you know? And there's one, and then there's 10, and then there's 50.
And then the entire surface of the ground was basically just moving with thousands and thousands and thousands of kob, and it would go on for 25 minutes. And then we loop around, go 10 kilometers south, about seven miles south, and run another parallel line, and the same thing.
And then we run another line, the same thing. And we just keep going; transect after transect after transect, the surface is just covered with animals. It was like the world was infested with wildlife.
JEFFREY BROWN: And what was that like for you?
MICHAEL FAY: It was like, if you were an archaeologist working in Egypt and you'd been looking for a hidden tomb for your entire life, this is like finding a lost city underground. It really is.
Monitoring uncharted territory
JEFFREY BROWN: It's almost sort of stunning to think in this day in age where, you know, satellites can come down and sort of see your house, for example, here's this big area of the Earth and nobody knew it was there?
MICHAEL FAY: Well, you know, the landscape there is flat, but the vegetation is quite dense, and the grass is very high. And most people -- I mean, people have been flying around southern Sudan for decades doing relief work, but they usually go straight up to 10,000 feet, fly where they need to go, and drop back down.
We were flying at 300 feet over the landscape for almost two months, and there you can actually see wildlife. And people that have been flying around for decades there had no idea that there were wildlife there.
JEFFREY BROWN: So what other animals did you see when you were flying low over the land?
MICHAEL FAY: Well, there were in the early '80s three major migratory species present, the white-eared kob, which is that medium-sized antelope, the Thomson's Gazelle, or Mongalla gazelle, which is a much smaller antelope, and then the tiang or topi, which is a larger antelope. And we found all three of those in large numbers, totaling over 1.3 million individuals.
But we saw 7,000 or documented 7,000 elephants. People thought maybe elephants were gone from southern Sudan. We saw lions. We saw eland in very large herds. We saw hippos and crocodiles and Nile lechwe, and just the list goes on and on.
JEFFREY BROWN: Now, some animals, I understand, are not doing so well, zebras, for example.
MICHAEL FAY: Well, you know, we would have detected fewer zebra anyway, because there weren't nearly as many zebra back in the '80s as the white-eared kob or the tiang or a few other species. So we may have missed them because we did realize that we missed large numbers of kob, as well.
We may have missed as much as half of these kob, because they kind of looped around, basically, our study area. So we could have very well missed 20,000 zebra easily, because it's an enormous area. And we only flew about a quarter of southern Sudan.
But at the same time, certain sedentary species like the hartebeest, which were found there in large numbers back in the early '80s, have disappeared. And that's probably because, during the war, people were worried about security, they didn't move around much, but if they had sedentary wildlife available, they would use it for food. But these big migratory herds, they just couldn't keep up with them, they couldn't travel long distances, because security was just too low.
Pushing for conservation
JEFFREY BROWN: Having made this discovery, what's next in terms of conservation? Peace must bring other kinds of encroachment, economic development, I would think, for one thing?
MICHAEL FAY: Yes, the irony of this situation is peace may well destroy these migrations in a very short amount of time. They're building roads like crazy in southern Sudan. Oil exploration and exploitation is going on in a massive scale in the largest freshwater swamp on Earth that's located in southern Sudan.
So development is happening very quickly. And once transportation is facilitated, large numbers of animals that are hunted for bush meat can be transported, you know, halfway across the continent in a couple of days. So it's a big threat.
JEFFREY BROWN: But the economic development there, of course, is important for that region, so what's your case? What are you saying to the government now about conservation at this point?
MICHAEL FAY: Well, we're working closely with the southern Sudanese government, as well as the State Department, and we're trying to ask Congress to think about the coincidence of development, but also thinking about natural resource management.
And as southern Sudan emerges from this kind of calamity, we can't just think about taking the resources out of this place and setting up shop without thinking about natural resource management. So I think we're making good headway already.
JEFFREY BROWN: All right. Michael Fay, thanks very much.
MICHAEL FAY: Thank you. Thanks for having me.

Last year, hunters donated nearly 40 tons of venison to Minnesota food shelves. But when state Agriculture Department officials tested some of that meat last spring, they found varying amounts of lead contamination from fragmented bullets.
The state ordered food shelves to destroy some 16,000 pounds of venison.
At the Hubbard County Food Shelf in Park Rapids, that's frustrated director Dave Long. He says venison is a plentiful source of protein for people in need.
"We gave it out as an extra last year and people were grateful for it," he said. "A very few people turned us down. Some said, 'Well, gee, we love venison.'"
This year, food shelf patrons in Park Rapids and some other communities won't get any venison.
That's because local meat processors facing tighter state regulations decided to drop out of the program.
Last year, there were 72 processors in Minnesota that prepared venison for food shelves. This year, that number has dropped to fewer than half that. In northwestern Minnesota, there are only five processors that will take donations from hunters in a 21-county area.
Dave Long says people have been eating venison for centuries and he thinks it's safe.
"When you take into consideration that there has never been one reported case in the history of Minnesota venison that they have attributed lead poisoning to, it boggles my mind," Long said.
At his downtown butcher shop in Park Rapids, Dale Greenlee processes about 500 deer every year. But this year he won't be doing it for the food shelf. He says it's too much of a hassle.
The state requires processors to attend a five-hour training course. Venison samples must be X-rayed by the state. Processors can no longer prepare ground venison for food shelves, only whole cut pieces of meat.
And Greenlee says he'd heard that processors wouldn't get paid if lead is found in the meat.
He says he couldn't afford to take that risk.
"When the bullets fragment, you can't find every little piece of lead in that deer," Greenlee said. "We pull out every piece we can, but we just can't get it all."
It turns out processors do get paid -- $70 per animal -- regardless of whether lead is found in the meat.
A spokesman for the state Department of Agriculture says some processors may have been misinformed due to inaccurate information posted on the agency's Web site. He says that mistake has since been corrected.
There hasn't been much scientific research into the potential dangers of lead fragments in wild game. But a new study was released this week by the North Dakota Department of Health and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
It found that people who eat wild game harvested with lead bullets appear to have higher levels of lead in their blood than people who don't.
As a result, North Dakota health officials are recommending that pregnant women and children under six should not eat meat from deer killed with lead-based ammunition. High levels of lead exposure can cause miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as learning disabilities and kidney damage in young children.
That health advisory was already in place in Minnesota.
Nicole Neeser, who works with the state Department of Agriculture and oversees food safety, says tightened regulations on the venison donation program could result in less meat for food shelves. But she says it's better the state errs on the side of caution.
"What we know about lead in anything is that it's harmful," she said. "So we're trying to find a middle ground here to continue this program, but yet take into account that important information that eating lead can be harmful, and the fact that we did find lead in venison." So should all this talk of lead contamination worry hunters?
Not necessarily, says Mark Johnson, who heads the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association. Johnson says people who eat venison should use their own judgement. And hunters can make some changes in the way they hunt.
"If you're worried about it, and that's a big if, then just don't use a ballistic tip bullet that tends to fragment," Johnson explained. "Use a copper-bonded bullet or an all-copper bullet or use a shotgun slug or a muzzle loader, where you have a lot less opportunity for fragmentation."
Even though about half-a-million people are expected to hunt deer this season, it's likely that fewer pounds of venison will find their way to people in need.

My two front teeth are crooked due to crowding and so are my front bottom teeth. I have one implant and a few teeth that are crowned. Would I still be a candidate for Invisalign?
How Does Previous Dental Work Affect Invisalign?
Doctor Answers 2
Invisalign can work with implants and crowns
Invisalign is a great treatment to move the teeth. As you likely know, Invisalign is a series of clear retainers that puts light pressure on the teeth to move them. While teeth can move when pressure is placed on them, implants cannot because they are fused to the bone. As long as the implant tooth is not one that you would like to see moved, Invisalign will give you a great smile.
Teeth with crowns on them are not a significant concern since the Invisalign plastic will just slip over them. Crowned teeth have normal roots and can move just like any other teeth. Hope this helps you in your decision!
Previous Dental Work May Not Complicate Things Much.
Really the biggest complication is bonding any attachments to your crowns. Depending on the movements you might need attachments may have to be bonded to particular teeth, and it can be a challenge to bond to porcelain (and there is no guarantee they won't fall off mid treatment which would be annoying).
The Invisalign software can accomodate for implants and other non-moving teeth, so that shouldn't be a big deal. However, if your treatment plan has to create space next to the implant, the crown on the implant would have to be replaced or adjacent teeth restored to close the space, so keep that in mind.
Really the best way to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign is a consultation with your orthodontist.

My dermabrasion was done in an outpatient surgery center by a plastic surgeon. I was put to sleep while it was done. My face was raw and took between one and two weeks to heal. Then my skin was red for months which had to be hidden with makeup. Then my face was somewhat hypopigmented and sunburned easily for the next two years.
My skin color or pigmentation slowly returned to normal over these two to three years after the dermabrasion. The results for fine lines and acne scars was very good. Now years later, people still compliment my skin. I still go to spas for various facials etc, but nothing they do compares to the significant results of dermabrasion. The longer term redness and hypopigmentation is for sure a drawback to having this done, but when you need significant results, the mini facial type options at spas can't compare.
Since I was asleep for it, of course I didn't feel anything. Afterward, I had a pain pill prescription and took half pills the first day or so. I remenber an uncomfortable feeling if an area was getting dry during the first week of healing and really had to glob on the ointment.

Back in August, we spoke with people in the city of Elgin, where some residents were calling for the local police force to be disbanded after a fatal officer-involved shooting. Their idea was to do what several other small towns have done and contract with the local county for their law enforcement needs. Since then, the Oregon Association of Chiefs of Police came to Elgin to conduct a review of the police department and its policies. The association also held a public forum as part of their review. Many residents came and expressed frustration with their local police officers.
The association's report did not paint the Elgin police department in the most favorable light. After it was released, the chief and the one remaining officer resigned. While it appears that city officials have every intention of hiring new police officers and sticking with local law enforcement, they are currently dependent on the Union County sheriff's office to respond when a resident calls 911 to report a crime.
Do you live in Elgin? Did you participate in the public meeting with the Oregon Association of Chiefs of Police? How does law enforcement work where you live?

In the 2011/12 season, three influenza outbreaks were studied in nursing homes with high vaccination coverage in Navarre, Spain. Attack rates ranged from 2.9% to 67%. Influenza A/Stockholm/18/2011(H3N2) virus strain was isolated from the three outbreaks. Vaccination should be complemented with other hygiene measures in nursing homes. Early detection of influenza outbreaks in nursing homes can aid in their control.
Four influenza-like illness (ILI) outbreaks have been detected in nursing homes in Navarre, Spain, during the 2011/12 wave of seasonal influenza. Three of these outbreaks were reported rapidly after the detection of the first cases. These outbreaks were investigated by the epidemiological surveillance unit in the region in order to identify the causes, to implement control measures and to give recommendations for preventing outbreaks in other nursing homes.
People living in nursing homes are more vulnerable to influenza infection due to their advanced age, the presence of major chronic diseases, and to the fact that they live together in close vicinity. Accordingly, there is broad consensus on the advisability of annual influenza vaccination for persons living in such conditions [1-3]. Routine vaccination of residents and caregivers can keep these homes from being affected by waves of seasonal influenza. However, in some seasons, when vaccine effectiveness is low because of the mismatch with the circulating virus, this measure is not enough, and more or less extensive outbreaks can occur [4-6].
Investigation of the outbreaks
The three early detected outbreaks were studied by gathering information directly from the physicians who attended the cases and analysing the information from individual case reports of ILI. Following the European Union case definition [7] ILI was defined as the sudden onset of any general symptom (fever or feverishness, headache or myalgia) in addition to any respiratory symptom (cough, sore throat or shortness of breath). Vaccination data were obtained from clinical records in the nursing homes and were validated by the regional vaccination registry.
A number of cases were selected for swabbing from each outbreak according to different criteria: a random sample of ILI patients, hospitalised patients or all ILI cases (Table). Nasopharyngeal swabs were tested for detection of influenza virus by real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and cell culture using a Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell line. Isolates were sent to the National Reference Centre, National Center for Microbiology, Majadahonda, Spain, for influenza genotyping.
Description of the 2011/12 influenza season in Navarre
Influenza surveillance in Navarre is based on automatic reporting of ILI cases from all primary healthcare centers and hospitals. In addition, a sentinel network of 83 primary care physicians and paediatricians take swabs from all their ILI patients for virological surveillance.
In the 2011/12 season, the influenza wave in the general population of Navarre exceeded the epidemic incidence threshold between 9 January and 18 March 2012, with the peak incidence in the third week of February (from 13 to 19 February).
Approximately 59% of the non-institutionalised population aged 65 and over in Navarre had received the inactivated influenza vaccine. By 1 April, the cumulative ILI attack rate in the non-institutionalised population was 2.1% overall, and 0.9% in those aged 65 and over. Preliminary estimates of vaccine effectiveness in preventing confirmed influenza cases are around 50% [8].
About 58% (368/640) of the throat swabs from patients in the sentinel physician network were positive for influenza by culture or RT-PCR, with a clear predominance of influenza A(H3N2) (94%). Fifty-six of these strains have been characterised: 43 were A/Stockholm/18/2011(H3N2) and 13 were A/Iowa/19/2010(H3N2).
Description of the outbreaks in nursing homes, Navarre 2011/12
The three nursing home outbreaks are described in the table. All three nursing homes had carried out an influenza vaccination campaign in October 2011, reaching coverage from 82% to 97%. Problems concerning the vaccine lot, its conservation or administration were ruled out by consulting the vaccination registry and through discussions with the staff responsible for vaccination.
Table. Characteristics of the influenza outbreaks and nursing homes studied, Navarre, Spain, 2012
The influenza outbreaks occurred between week 4 and week 8 of 2012, coinciding with the epidemic wave in the region (Figure).
Figure. Incidence of influenza-like illness (ILI) cases in the general population and ILI cases in nursing homes, by week, Navarre, Spain, 2011/12
Influenza virus A(H3N2) was identified in all the three outbreaks, and the genotyped strains were characterised as A/Stockholm/18/2011(H3N2), coinciding with the strain most frequently found in the non-institutionalised population during this season. The attack rates were much higher in nursing homes (range 2.9% to 67%) than those in the general population aged 65 and over (0.9%). The attack rates in vaccinated persons ranged between 2.6% and 66%. The attack rates did not differ significantly between vaccinated and non-vaccinated persons in any of the nursing homes. During the outbreak investigation 57 ILI patients were detected with vaccine failure, 13 of whom had laboratory-confirmed influenza. In vaccinated persons, the time between vaccination and onset of ILI symptoms ranged between 92 and 142 days. Overall, 5% of the ILI cases (3/63) in the three nursing homes required hospitalisation, and death occurred in 3% of those affected (2/63), all of them in vaccinated persons with previous major chronic conditions.
Control measures
As soon as the outbreaks were detected, hygiene measures (respiratory hygiene, hand hygiene, use of face masks) were intensified and cases were isolated to control the spread of the infection. The virus spread quickly in the first nursing home affected, and the intervention occurred when a large proportion of the residents had already become ill. In the other two nursing homes, the measures were applied early, helping to keep the attack rate at a lower level. Although antivirals were available, prophylaxis was not used in any nursing home. An alert was issued at regional and national level and hygiene measures were recommended in order to prevent possible future outbreaks in other nursing homes.
Influenza outbreaks in nursing homes with high vaccination coverage were detected in Navarre in the 2011/12 season. The attack rates did not differ significantly between vaccinated and unvaccinated persons, and 13 vaccine failures were laboratory confirmed. The results may indicate insufficient vaccine effectiveness to contain the spread of the influenza virus in nursing homes during this season. A recent study has reported moderate vaccine effectiveness in the 2011/12 season in Spain and suggests a limited match between vaccine and circulating influenza viruses [8].
To prevent influenza outbreaks in nursing homes, high rates of vaccination coverage should be achieved in residents and caregivers, and contacts of sick visitors and workers with residents should be restricted. Despite these measures outbreaks may occur, therefore epidemiologic and virologic surveillance systems in nursing homes should be instituted to report on influenza circulation in the resident population, and to allow early notification of suspected outbreaks [5-6].
Early identification of outbreaks of airborne diseases facilitates adequate decision making for their control. When an influenza outbreak is suspected in an institutionalised setting, it is recommended to intensify measures to avoid transmission: covering the mouth and nose when sneezing, frequent hand washing or use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers, use of face masks, separation of sick persons from the rest of the residents, reducing visits and reducing staff movement between different areas of the building. Antiviral drug treatment in cases and in persons exposed may also be useful [5-6].
Some limitations should be acknowledged in the study of these outbreaks. Information on ILI cases and vaccination status among nursing homes' workers and frequent visitors was not systematically collected. The design and the size of the study were not adequate to obtain estimates of the vaccine effectiveness. However, the high attack rate in vaccinated persons and the number of vaccine failures suggest reduced vaccine protection in these nursing homes.
In conclusion, influenza vaccination should be complemented with other hygiene measures in institutionalised settings. Early detection of influenza outbreaks in nursing homes can aid in their control.

Estimating the Size of the Fiji Islands Agricultural Sector
Food and agricultural production account for a substantial share of economic activity in developing countries like Fiji. The relatively large size of the agricultural sector makes it all the more important to base agricultural policy decisions on reliable data. Moreover, improvements in farm sector productivity are an important driver of economic growth in developing countries. Good data provide governments – and citizens and taxpayers – with a more reliable basis for identifying policy issues and for assessing the aggregate and distributional impacts of policy initiatives. Good data help to improve the quality of both ex ante and ex post analyses and so help to make governments more accountable for their decisions. In democratic settings, such improved accountability will help to ensure that to the extent possible public policy does indeed promote high economic growth and development. Despite the conceptual limitations of gross domestic product as a measure of economic activity, levels of and changes in a country's GDP do provide valuable information for government decision making. However, there is some largely anecdotal evidence that the official GDP estimates for the Fiji Islands are not sufficiently accurate. The potential errors reflect misreporting associated with the black economy and problems in measuring agricultural activity in the informal sector. These informal sector problems come from both sampling and non-sampling sources. To gain some insight into the size of the informal part of the agriculture sector we estimate a model to explain the dependence of households on home produced food. Based on this model, and other data sources, we conclude that official estimates of the relative size of the agricultural sector in Fiji probably underestimate the true size of the sector and underestimate its growth.

A 68-year-old man was taken to hospital after being burned on his hands and arms during a Leverstock Green loft blaze on Saturday.
Two crews from the main Hemel Hempstead 999 base in Queensway were backed up by colleagues from Garston, St Albans and Kings Langley.
A fast response vehicle from the East of England Ambulance Service arrived at about Poynders Hill fire at 1.15pm.
A paramedic assessed the 68-year-old's injuries at the scene and later phoned for support from an ambulance, which arrived just after 2.20pm and took him to Watford General Hospital at 2.45pm.
Fire crews were called to another reported house fire in Fennycroft Road, Gadebridge, less than half an hour after the Poynders Hill alert.
Crews who attended found a rubbish store ablaze and after putting out the fire used specialist gear to ventilate a shop unit.

Dana Holgorsen gave Trevone Boykin high-five after nice play (Video)
Sometimes in sports you just have to tip your cap to a better player. Dana Holgorsen knows all about that.
Sometimes in sports you just have to tip your cap to a better player. Dana Holgorsen knows all about that.
Dana Holgorsen did a good job keeping his West Virginia Mountaineers competitive with Alabama before losing their season opener 33-23 on Saturday.
The no-huddle offense has become more popular at both the collegiate and professional levels over the past few years.
West Virginia and Kansas are playing on Saturday for the first time since the Mountaineers moved into the Big 12. The game will be between two teams that have disappointed.
Over the past few months, the football coaching situation at West Virginia has quickly transformed into a drama-packed episode of Days of Our Lives.
There's an unwritten rule in the college football world that you may or may not have heard of since I just this second made it up: wait until you have coached at least one game to start acting l

BeautyEnzymes provides a blend of supportive and powerful digestive enzymes that work to digest and breakdown all the food we eat, and reduce added stress experienced on the body. Each super digestive enzyme helps break down essential nutrients into usable forms the body can digest, helping detoxify your system, break down fats, cleanse the body, and maintain energy levels, making sure you get the most out of your nutrition plan! BeautyEnzymes goes one step further, and also provides pre and probiotics which help maintain overall gut health and immunity, ensuring your digestive system is functioning at an optimal level. Supports Complete Food Absorption Supports Fat Metabolism Supports Body's "In-House Enzymes" Helps Reduce Bloating and Indigestion Promotes Formation of Beneficial Bacteria If You Are Serious About Your Results, You Probably Already Know That What You Put Into Your Body Is Just As Important As The Time You Spend Workout Out.The right nutrition plan is the first step, but making sure you get the most out of that nutrition plan is the second step to ensuring maximum weight loss and lean muscle-building results! The team at BeautyFit recognizes that powerful digestive enzymes are necessary for delivering the vital nutrients your body needs to ensure complete food absorption. BeautyEnzyme was formulated with a research-backed natural complex of selective super digesting enzymes to stimulate proper digestion, reduce bloating and indigestion, improve utilization of essential nutrients, and enhance the weight loss process. Now, if you're not familiar with what enzymes are how they unlock the true potential of all the food you eat, then read on! Digestive enzymes are complex protein molecules that are found in every cell in your body. They transform the food you eat into energy for the body by breaking down complex proteins, fats and carbohydrates into smaller, simpler and more usable forms of nutrients, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Without enzymes this transformation, digestion and assimilation of nutrients is difficult to impossible. By reducing the amount of digestive enzymes that are produced by the body, BeautyEnzyme supports the body's 'inhouse enzymes' freeing up the body to expend energy on producing more metabolism activating enzymes. Metabolic enzymes are critical for detoxification and daily metabolic functions, including fat oxidation or fat burning! Although some enzymes can be obtained from the food we eat, processing and cooking can remove and destroy these essential catalysts our systems need to thrive and function at an optimal level. BeautyEnzyme provides a blend of supportive and powerful digestive enzymes that work to digest and breakdown all the food we eat, and reduce added stress experienced on the body. Each super digestive enzyme helps break down essential nutrients into usable forms the body can digest, helping detoxify your system, break down fats, cleanse the body, and maintain energy levels, making sure you get the most out of your nutrition plan! BeautyEnzyme goes one step further, and also provides pre and probiotics which help maintain overall gut health and immunity, ensuring your digestive system is functioning at an optimal level. What Does BeautyEnzyme Do?BeautyEnzyme supports digestion and complete food absorption by providing a complex of super digestive enzymes that help assimilate the food we eat into usable forms of nutrients, vitamins and minerals, thus supporting the metabolic processes involved in weight loss, fat burning, lean muscle building and recovery. BeautyEnzyme provides amylase which breaks down carbohydrates in simple sugars; lipase which breaks down fat into fatty acids, protease which breaks down proteins into amino acids; lactase which helps breakdown lactose from dairy foods; cellulase which breaks down cellulose found in plant fibers, and lastly pancreatin which provides a complex of amylase, lipase and protease for added benefit. BeautyEnzyme also provides Papain from Papaya Fruit, which breaks down protein into usable peptide chains of amino acids, necessary for muscle development and recovery. In addition to supporting digestive function, BeautyEnzyme also provides probiotics and prebiotics to stimulate gut health and enhance immunity. The combination of these ingredients found in BeautyEnzyme, helps reduce bloating, indigestion and maximizes food absorption! Who Should Use BeautyEnzyme?BeautyEnzyme is designed for every active woman who's serious about rapid results and wants to ensure they get the most out of their nutrition and supplement plan. Just like all other BeautyFit products, BeautyEnzyme is used by countless female competitors to fitness models who want to ensure they get the results they need whether on-stage or behind the camera! Supports Complete Food Absorption: By providing super digestive enzymes needed by the body to breakdown macronutrients in food into usable nutrients, vitamins and minerals that can be completely absorbed by the body and utilized to activate metabolic processes involved in fat burning, recovery, muscle building and energy production. Supports Fat Metabolism: Digestive enzymes help facilitate and activate the pathways involved in fat digestion and metabolism. Supports Body's "In-House Enzymes": Providing a blend of digestive enzymes, already found in the body that are needed for the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. This helps support the digestive system, allowing the body to produce enzymes needed for other metabolic functions involved in detoxification, energy production and fat utilization. Helps Reduce Bloating And Indigestion: Ingredients contained in BeautyEnzyme™ help promote digestion of food by providing a complex of digestive enzymes involved in the breakdown of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, resulting in a reduction of bloating and indigestion often experienced after food intake. Promotes Formation Of Beneficial Bacteria: Contains the natural prebiotic fructooligosaccarides or FOS, derived from plant fiber that passes undigested through the gut intestine helping promote the formation of beneficial gut bacteria. Provides Gut Healthy Probiotics: Contains the probiotic Lactobacilli which can enhance immunity and promote overall gut health. BeautyFit BeautyEnzyme Frequently Asked Questions When is the best time to take BeautyEnzyme?BeautyEnzyme should be taken twice daily with meals to ensure that the complex of enzymes can provide benefit during the digestion process. Take each serving with an 8 oz glass of water. For best results allow 6 hours between each serving of BeautyEnzyme to allow its powerful formula to be utilized with the food you eat. How does BeautyEnzyme work?BeautyEnzyme works by providing the body with super digestive enzymes that are required to breakdown food into usable components and nutrients. BeautyEnzyme provides enzymes to help support the in-house enzymes already present in our bodies that breakdown carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into digestible nutrients that are required to fuel the body's metabolic processes involved in stimulating fat metabolism, lean muscle building and recovery! Further to that, BeautyEnzyme also provides ingredients to help enhance immunity and gut health, all while reducing bloating and indigestion! Do I really need to take BeautyEnzyme?If you are serious about your nutrition plan and want to optimize your results, you need to take digestive enzymes. Digestive enzymes like those found in BeautyEnzyme help optimize nutrient delivery, and support complete food absorption from the foods we consume. Although, foods can contain enzymes, processing and cooking can remove these enzymes, causing added stress on our bodies to further produce more enzymes to breakdown food into usable components that fuel our metabolism and help stimulate fat burning, protein utilization, rebuilding and recovery. You may be following the right nutrition plan, but if you want to ensure you are getting the most from it, be sure to add BeautyEnzyme to your daily supplement routine. Can BeautyEnzyme be taken with other BeautyFit products?Absolutely, in fact BeautyEnzyme is the one supplement that can be stacked with any of the BeautyFit supplements to get even better results from your diet and supplement plan. BeautyFit unlocks the true nutrition stored in the foods you eat. Many women that use BeautyEnzyme find an increase in energy from the full digestion and utilization of the foods they eat. How long should it take for BeautyEnzyme to start working?Since BeautyEnzyme works with the natural digestion process in our body, it starts to work right away from the very first dose. Once in the body, BeautyEnzyme goes to work breaking down carbohydrates, proteins and fats from the foods ingested into usable nutrients, vitamins, minerals and the amino acids that fuel our metabolic processes. After the enzymes contained in BeautyEnzyme have performed their specific functions, the enzymes need to be replenished; therefore it is essential to take BeautyEnzyme everyday to ensure you are maximizing nutrient delivery and absorption. You may also notice that BeautyEnzyme will help reduce bloating and indigestion that you maybe currently experiencing post meal. You may also notice and increase in energy due to the improved digestion of the foods you eat. BeautyFit ValuesBeautyFit believes in you, why? Because you're worth believing in!
