Kagan's announcement marks a reversal of her November 2004 decision to bar Pentagon recruiters from using the law school's Office of Career Services. For most of the last 26 years, the office has only provided its resources to recruiters who promise not to discriminate against gay and lesbian employees and job applicants. The Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy prohibits gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military.
In an e-mail to students and faculty last night, Kagan wrote that the Pentagon had notified the University this summer that it would withhold most federal grants to Harvard unless the Law School's career services office gives aid to military recruiters.
Harvard receives more than $400 million per year in federal grants.
Meanwhile, University President Lawrence H. Summers said in a statement last night that Harvard will file a friend-of-the-court brief today urging the Supreme Court to invalidate the Solomon Amendment, the statute initially passed by Congress in 1994—and subsequently modified—that allows the secretary of defense to block federal funds to universities that restrict military recruiters' access to students.
"The Law School and the University share a deep and enduring commitment to the principles of nondiscrimination and equal opportunity for all persons," Summers said.
Summers also said that he agreed with Kagan's move to grant Pentagon recruiters an exemption from the nondiscrimination policy.
"This decision is prudent given the potential consequences to the University's research and other activities," he said.
In a separate brief that will be filed today, about 40 Harvard professors, including Kagan, urge the high court to overturn the Solomon Amendment, said Smith Professor of Law Martha L. Minow.
A federal appellate panel in Philadelphia ruled last year that the Solomon Amendment "requires law schools to express a message that is incompatible with their educational objectives" and therefore violates the schools' free-speech rights. The panel suspended the enforcement of the amendment.
But the panel consisted of judges from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, and its ruling did not make clear whether the Solomon Amendment still applied outside the Third Circuit—which has jurisdiction over Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by the Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights (FAIR), a coalition of more than two dozen law schools that oppose the Solomon Amendment. Harvard is not a member of FAIR, and Summers has said that the University will not file a suit against the federal government challenging the Solomon Amendment.
The Supreme Court announced in May that it will review the Third Circuit's decision later this year and put the panel's ruling on hold for the time being.
With Harvard facing the potential loss of its federal grants, amounting to 15 percent of its total budget, Kagan wrote in her e-mail, "I regret making this exception to our antidiscrimination policy" and reiterated her opposition to the "don't ask, don't tell" protocol.
"I believe the military's discriminatory employment policy is deeply wrong—both unwise and unjust. And this wrong tears at the fabric of our own community by denying an opportunity to some of our students that other of our students have," she wrote.
Before making her policy reversal public yesterday, Kagan attended a meeting last night of the Law School's gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender student group, Lambda, to explain her decision.
Lambda President Jeffrey G. Paik '03 released a statement last night calling the Department of Defense's enforcement of the Solomon Amendment "reprehensible" but applauding Kagan for "the courageous action she took last November."
Lambda's treasurer, Adam R. Sorkin, echoed those sentiments.
"Many in the group think this really makes us feel like second-class citizens," said. "If we were a [racial or ethnic] minority, this wouldn't be the policy of the school."
Military recruiters are scheduled to appear on the Law School campus on October 6 and October 12, Sorkin said, and he added, "We're not just going to sit back and take it."
At noon today, Minow and Loeb University Professor Laurence H. Tribe '62 are slated to unveil their friend-of-the-court brief at a press conference on the steps of Langdell Library.
In an e-mail to The Crimson yesterday, Tribe wrote that the brief is being filed on the professors' behalf by the former acting solicitor general during the Clinton administration, Walter E. Dellinger III.
FAIR President Kent Greenfield, a Boston College law professor who is leading the opposition to the Solomon Amendment, said that in addition to the Harvard brief, five to seven other groups will also file friend-of-the-court briefs on FAIR's behalf today.
The new developments come less than a week after President Bush's nominee for Supreme Court chief justice, John G. Roberts, Jr. '76, said during his confirmation hearings that "as a general proposition," he believes that Congress may attach certain conditions to the receipt of federal funds. The Solomon Amendment only applies to schools that receive federal grants.
Roberts' statement came in response to a question from Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kansas, an outspoken supporter of the Solomon Amendment.
Roberts cited the high court's 7-2 decision in South Dakota v. Dole, which held that Congress could require states that receive federal highway funds to adopt a 21-year-old minimum drinking age.
Greenfield said that Roberts' statement during the confirmation hearings did not mean that the nominee would necessarily vote against FAIR.
"This is a First Amendment case, and South Dakota v. Dole doesn't control this because that wasn't a First Amendment case. All the First Amendment precedents are firmly on our side," Greenfield said.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in the case on December 6 and will likely release its opinion sometime next year.

The unprecedented pact that prevented political action committees from crowding the television airwaves in last year's Senate race between Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren will be hard to repeat in the likely upcoming special election in Massachusetts, given the unique set of political circumstances that allowed the first one to succeed.
"It's the only game in town and it will be difficult to keep the groups out, and I think both campaigns are going to think they need the help," said Dave Carney, a longtime Republican strategist from New Hampshire who served as President George H.W. Bush's political director.
In other words, you may want to avoid watching television, listening to the radio, or surfing the Internet this spring and summer. That's when the state would hold a special election to replace John F. Kerry, who is expected to be confirmed later this month as secretary of state.
With only one Senate election nationally, a host of political groups from around the country would be able to focus all their attention and cash in Massachusetts, as they did ahead of the 2010 special election to replace Edward M. Kennedy.
"There's a potential for a lot more money and a lot more third parties to play in this race," said Doug Rubin, who advised Warren's campaign and has agreed to advise the state Democratic Party for the special election.
Brown and Warren made campaign history a year ago when they signed a pact, dubbed the People's Pledge. They agreed that if an outside group ran an advertisement on television, radio, or online, the campaign that benefits must pay a penalty to charity.
To the surprise of many, those groups largely abided by the Brown-Warren pledge, even as the campaign turned negative. That led some, including Brown, to speculate whether it could be duplicated elsewhere to curb an explosion in spending by outside groups.
"What we did together was historic and it's something that I'm very, very proud of, and I know she is too," Brown said the day before the election in November. "It's really a model, I think, for the rest of the country."
Rubin, who helped negotiate the pact with Brown, said he does not expect the next race to feature a similar agreement, but he believes Brown could pay a political price if he runs again and declines to participate, given his prior public embrace of the pledge.
Brown advisers have denied that he was hurt by the pact, though some political consultants say it cost him an opportunity to bruise Warren early in the race, before she introduced herself to voters on her own terms.
A Brown aide would not say whether Brown would sponsor a pledge again, given that he has yet to make up his mind about running and does not yet know the other candidates in the race. Representative Edward J. Markey, the Malden Democrat who is the only major declared candidate, has also not indicated a position.
There were numerous factors in the Brown-Warren race that may be difficult to duplicate in a special election.
The major one was money. Both candidates raised enough to spend about $80 million combined, shattering state spending records and making the race among the most expensive congressional campaigns in US history.
Unlike other races around the country, where one or the other candidate had a significant money advantage, neither Brown nor Warren needed help from outside groups to run continuous television ads.
Both campaigns also felt they had much to lose with the involvement of outside groups, whose televised attacks tend to be more incendiary than those launched when a candidate has to put his or her name behind the message.
Before the pledge, liberal groups were spending money on television ads attacking Brown at roughly double the rate as those from conservative groups attacking Warren, and Brown saw the first significant drop in his poll numbers.
Warren was a star of the Democratic base and many liberal groups hoped to raise money for their own purposes by promising donors they could help Warren get elected.
Brown's campaign also worried that when conservative groups spent money in the race attacking Warren, she could simply use those attacks to raise even more money.
Warren's side had its own fears. They believed the conservative money would catch up to the spending by liberal groups, given that pro-Republican groups outspent pro-Democratic groups in other Senate races by a 3 to 1 ratio, and that many had declared Warren their top target.
They also felt Warren, largely unknown to voters when the race began, could have been devastated with a sustained attack from outside groups, particularly as she battled questions over her undocumented claims of Native American heritage.Continued...

Comments about Neroli Sauvage Cologne:
Neroli Sauvage is a rich and smooth fragrance with notes of almost bitter Neroli. The Citrus in the fragrance isn't overly sweet or sparkly, instead, it works to mellow and even out the bitter Neroli. The smooth woods and the Creed house note finish it off, making it one of Creed's most refined and understated scents. Unfortunatley, the sillage has very little staying power.

Comments about Neroli Sauvage Cologne:
Wow what a citrus bomb! Starts off as a very sharp citrus with a hint of florals. Then dries down to a woodsy base.
This is truley one of the most unique fragrances I have, and it does not smell like any other Creed fragrance (or any other fragrance I've tried). It's very unique and is something that someone could even consider a "signature scent" as it'll be like nothing else that anyone is wearing yet is very alluring and fresh.

Inslee organizes transition Wash. governor team despite continued vote counting
Originally published on Wed November 7, 2012 3:13 pm
The race for Washington governor remains too close to call. But Democrat Jay Inslee said Wednesday he's already forming a transition team to prepare to take office. The former congressman leads Republican attorney general Rob McKenna 51 percent to 49 percent.
In a Seattle press conference, Inslee acknowledged ballots are still being counted. But he said he's confident enough to begin the transition process.
"We feel it's important to do that. We have some big challenges and great opportunities and we want to hit the ground running. And I'm very excited to get that ball rolling."
The next vote count from populous King County is expected to come late Wednesday.
Republican Rob McKenna has not conceded the race and has told supporters it may take a few days to determine the outcome.

do we evaluate movement tactics and particularly property-damaging or truly
aggressive or violent tactics?
comes from a religious, philosophical stance and says violence or even property
damage is a bad personal choice that brooks no exceptions. Many pacifists-for
example, Dave Dellinger–argue publicly on behalf of political nonviolence using
evidence, values, and experience of the sorts we'll address below. They respect
and interact positively with those holding different opinions. There are some
other pacifists, however, who don't primarily use evidence, logic, and
experience to argue for nonviolence, but instead assert that to reject
nonviolence is immoral. Their morality/religion trumps political debate.
adherents of a political view assert that all other actors must agree or be
irrelevant, it is often called sectarianism. Agree with me or you are a
political infidel. In philosophy or religion similar rigidity is often called
fundamentalism. Agree with me or you are a moral infidel. Here's the hard part:
When a pacifist says that everyone must be pacifist because all other options
are immoral, it is fundamentalism. Lifestyle, philosophical, or religious
pacifists have every right to argue that the movement should always be
nonviolent, of course. But if they do it by proclaiming greater morality they
can't expect to be taken seriously–and the same goes for those who assert the
limits of nonviolence from atop a high moral horse. So we are back where we
started. What's characterizes obstruction, property damage, or aggressive or
violent options, and how might folks reasonably argue their preferences?
any tactic we can usefully ask:
- What
are its effects on those who utilize it
- What
are its effects on those it seeks to pressure
- What
are its effects on the those protestors wish to organize, and
- What
are its effects on enduring movement organization and culture?
side claims that tactics "exceeding" nonviolence tend to be good in
that they delegitimate authority, reduce tendencies to obedience, uproot
accomodationist habits and culture, inspire participation among working people
and minorities, graphically pinpoint protestor's anger, promote increased media
coverage that communicates the movement message more widely, and also raise high
social costs for elites, pressuring them to relent.
other side claims that tactics "exceeding" nonviolence tend to be bad
in that they help authority rationalize its lack of legitimacy, increase
tendencies to thoughtless individualism, amorality, and paranoia, put off
unorganized working people and minorities (not to mention those unable to
participate in violent settings), curtail open discussion and democratic
decision-making, obscure the focus of protestor's anger, distort media coverage
disrupting communication to broader audiences, and also give elites means to
change the rules of engagement to their advantage.
point by point contrast highlights the complexity of judging tactics. Is having
teach-ins, marching, rallying, doing civil disobedience, obstructing large
numbers of people, or destroying draft card files, a missile nose cone, a
war-making facility, or targeted windows, or trespassing, rioting, resisting
arrest, or even escalating to pro-active aggression against police, scabs, or
other sectors, a good choice? To know, we have to decide which claims are true
and which false, and how we regard the overall tally.
why do we have to consider each case on its own merits? Why can't we have an
across-the-board always binding judgment? In some situations aggressive tactics
yield all the positive affects their advocates expect. Yet in other situations
aggressive tactics fail to deliver any potential benefits. Likewise, in some
situations aggressive tactics yield all the debits their critics anticipate. Yet
other times aggressive tactics minimize or even eliminate the debits. Thus there
are no universal rules about specific tactics and the best we can do is assess
each tactic in each situation, seeking to maximize potential benefits and
minimize potential ills.
example, proponents and critics of aggressive tactics need to pay very special
and priority attention to not providing authorities a rationalization to obscure
the government's wrong-doing. Proponents and critics must be sympathetic to
those disagreeing with them and work hard to increase democratic participation
and reduce tendencies to anti-social individualism, paranoia, or passivity. They
must try to find ways to increase possibilities of wide participation and open
discussion and decision-making, and particularly to prevent their tactics from
alienating sought-after constituencies. They must put a high onus of evidence on
themselves on behalf of avoiding adventurism or endangering others or otherwise
weakening the balance of power between the movement and elites, whether by
action or inaction. They must raise social costs today consistently with being
able to do better tomorrow. It is also important to undertake or refrain from
actions in ways that don't fracture the movement and that don't reduce sympathy
for the movement or obscure its message among constituencies it seeks to reach.
And both advocates and opponents of any particular tactic must avoid pressuring
movement participants into hostile stances toward one another, rather than
battling only opposed elites.
non-nonviolent tactics by disdaining participation and democracy or by
wildly imagining non-existent conditions looks like macho play-acting rather
than seriously seeking maximal impact. Opposing non-nonviolent tactics by
equating minuscule disruption or destruction with the unimaginably inhumane and
catastrophic violence of elites or otherwise worsening movement communication
looks like fundamentalism rather than seriously seeking maximal positive impact.
the upside, when groups who either advocate or oppose aggressive tactics pay
serious attention to strategic concerns so that others are aware of their
motives, logic, and attentiveness, and of how they take into account the views
and agendas of their protest partners, then while folks may still sharply
disagree about choices, the dialog can be one of respect and substantive debate.
we can all ratify that respect and substantive debate are worthy goals. Then
doesn't it also follow that having protest norms that facilitate opposed groups
communicating usefully is much better than having protest norms which pit
opposed groups against one another in ideological death matches? "Different
strokes for different folks" is a good slogan, as long as we add that they
need to also pursue mutual concern, understanding, and empathy.

Conference Recap (Part One?)
First let me say I did not attend many sessions, maybe a couple each day and I was not here in time on Sunday to go to the couple of workshops they had that day.
It seemed clear to me (so of course this is just my perception) that the content of the conference was tailored around input received from financial advisors (it was FA Magazine who put it on in conjunction with IndexUniverse) from last year's conference and maybe throughout the year too.
That said most of what I heard was at a lower level of dialogue than I expected, again if this is where advisors are collectively and what the general audience is looking for then that is what the folks running the conference need to provide. On one hand I find it shocking and disappointing that advisors would not be a little more up to speed. On the other hand I cannot imagine how one person could possibly do everything that needs to be done. At our firm we divvy everything up. This allows me to, for example, have heard of Bank Turanalem when it comes up in conversation with a client.
That unresolved snobbishness aside a reader asked how the panel on sector investing that I participated in went. We had a good mix; Joe who builds model portfolios at a regional brokerage firm that uses ETFs, Dan an ETF marketing guy from StateStreet (they have done all sorts of research and he had amazing recall of the info), Phil the moderator works in the rocket science department at an investment bank and one slack-jawed yokel from Arizona.
A large part of the session was Joe and I giving opinions of various things with Dan whipping out some stats that either refuted or supported what was being said. When I spoke I looked at the audience and everyone seemed attentive which I took as a positive.
I talked about all the things I have been talking about on the blog since I started writing. I build portfolios at the sector level, overweighting and underweighting each one based on how markets usually work combined with what I think is going on now to make a forward looking analysis.
I talked about certain sectors being easier to add foreign, like energy, financials and telecom. I also mentioned that some company called EG Shares has filed for emerging market sector funds and went off on a tangent about not knowing who they are or whether their funds will ever list but why I think sector funds in the EM space would play an important role in portfolio construction. One funny thing, after the session was over one of my maybe three blogging friends, Richard Kang, comes up and tells me he is EG Shares and yes they are a real company. That was all he could say but it was a very funny thing.
Also after the session as I was talking to Richard and several people from the audience came up to ask a followup question and the questions were all intelligent questions compared to what some of the content seemed to be targeting.
One thing that I can say confidently is that like you, that adivsors do want to take in more information and bits of process to try to navigate the market more effectively for their clients. That does not have to mean "beat the market." The job of a financial advisor is to give clients their best chance of having enough money when they need it while trying to make the ride between here and there a smooth as possible. That does not mean that every advisor will be able to do that or that the ride will always be smooth but that is the goal.
On a personal note Joellyn and I had a fun time seeing Palm Beach on Monday and then going down to South Beach on Tuesday. The story yesterday about my having played Babe Ruth baseball with one of the industry honchos was just a mind blower.

"On one hand I find it shocking and disappointing that advisors would not be a little more up to speed." It is comments like this, stories about the pilot (guy who ran a financial firm) faking his own death, and Madoff that show why people need to educate themselves on investing.
Again I ask, how do you know you are not getting one of these guys when you first establish a relationship? The philosophy sounds fine, recent track record seems fine, no problems with SEC etc., but then things blow up.
How is this goal met? "The job of a financial advisor is to give clients their best chance of having enough money when they need it while trying to make the ride between here and there a smooth as possible"
Furthermore, if your time horizon is 50+ years, but the financial advisor is looking at retiring in say 25 years, who's going to continue with the investing philosophy in phase II? To me, that is when elderly people are vulnerable and can be taken advantage of.
Looking forward to your comments regarding yesterday's WSJ Swenson article. - 6:45 AM

i would say there needs to be an element of faith in your own ability to make the decision. ask the questions, how are they answered, do you like the answers?
if the guy has help at the office great, what exactly does he do with his time? if he has no help, how does he do it all, maybe he has a small number of clients. To be clear it can be done because plenty of people do it. I am saying I don't know how they do it. I only wear one hat and it takes me 70-80 hours a week to do my part. Most other people do not spend that much time. Clearly at some point in there is diminishing returns on the time i do spend but it is what i enjoy doing.
I will go back to life being a series of decisions. You either trust your own ability to make the big decisions or you don't but that is what it will ulitmatley boil down to. - 6:54 AM

Roger, I think your knowledge and practice using etfs probably exceeds most advisors' and that's why you find the conference to be relatively low level. Even as an individual investor, I find almost nothing new of interest in the etf world. The industry is starting to feel more mature, almost like mutual funds.
I learned a ton from you about evaluating etfs and their use in building a portfolio, but now I find articles on Seeking Alpha (for example) to be nothing more than bloggers speculating about this or that sector. I skip nearly all of them.
Sure, double long/short is newish, actively managed etfs are coming up, 401ks need etfs, etc. Maybe all that's huge for investors less involved in the market, but I doubt it is for you or your readers. Do you see any real game changers on the horizon?
Thanks for being ahead of the curve and sharing your insights with us. - 8:57 AM

Roger: Up until now, I was kind of envious that all these ETF experts are in Florida at this conference, and i am not. I was previously going to ask you if this conference would have been appropriate for self-directing ETF investors who have a moderate amount of knowlege and experience. I looked at the conference schedule and some of the topics looked interesting. If not, could you recommend other conferences during the year that might be good choices. As a follower of your blog as well as some of the other speakers and moderators, I appreciate the opportunity to meet you, and after all everybody loves a boondoggle occassionally!

No one can be expert in everything, or even very good if it comes to that, but when it comes to a family's fortune (no matter how hoary the cliché) you don't put all the eggs in one basket and you don't trust everything to a single financial advisor or firm; strategic diversification isn't just an asset allocation theory, it is survival tactic, a state of mind.

Roger- I believe you slightly dismissed the p/e concept advocated by Mish during your video last saturday. The following is an excerpt posted today by Roubini whom advocates that the best case scenario for the S&P500 bottom this year is 720 and that we are more likely to decline to the 500-600 range...
"I have been predicting for a while that the most recent bear market sucker's rally would lose its steam and – like the previous bear market rallies in the last 18 months – US and global equities prices would head again towards new lows.
Let me now explain why…
As my work and the one of our research team at RGE Monitor predicts (we will publish later this week our 2009 Global Economic Outlook, a 75 page research piece for our clients and we recently published our US outlook) this will be the worst US recession in the last 50 years and the worst synchronized global recession in decades.
For a few weeks since late November equity markets ignored the onslaught of much worse than expected macro news (and all the new were really worse than awful) and had a nice 25% bear market sucker's rally. But the drumbeat of terrible – and worse than expected - macro news and earnings news and financial news has finally taken a toll on the delusional market belief that the worst was over for financial markets and for equity markets and that the US and global economy would recover in the second half of 2009. So equity prices have already reversed more than half of their most recent bear market rally as the lousy macro news have finally shocked in the last week the wishful thinkers.
Indeed, the retail sales figures published today confirmed a shopped-out, saving-less and debt-burdened US consumer is now faltering as job losses, income losses, fall in home wealth, fall in equity wealth, high and rising debt and debt servicing ratios and a severe credit crunch take a severe toll on the ability of consumers to spend. And reduction in spending and deleveraging of the US consumer will take years to rebuild the savings rate of a household sector now hit by a severe shock to its net worth (as equity and home values fall while debts have been rising) and shocked in its ability to generate income as job losses mount and the unemployment rate surges.
Our research at RGE Monitor suggests that the US and global recession will continue at least all the way until Q4 of 2009 (a nasty 24 months U-shaped recession) and that the recovery in 2010-11 will be very weak with growth in the 1% range that is well below a potential of 2.75%. And we cannot rule out that a more severe L-shaped stag-deflation (as in Japan in the 1990s) will take hold. Indeed, as I argued recently:
While the odds of a systemic financial meltdown have been reduced by the actions of the Group of Seven and other economies, severe vulnerabilities remain.
The credit crunch will persist and spread beyond mortgages. Deleveraging will continue, as thousands of hedge funds -- many of which will go bust -- and other leveraged players are forced to sell assets into illiquid and distressed markets, thus causing price declines and driving more insolvent financial institutions out of business. Credit losses will mount as the recession deepens. And a few emerging-market economies will certainly enter a full-blown financial crisis.
So 2009 will be a painful year of global recession and further financial stresses, losses and bankruptcies. Currently, the probability of an L-shaped, stag-deflation is now rising to a third, while the probability of a severe U-shaped recession is two-thirds. Only aggressive, coordinated and effective policy actions by advanced and emerging-market countries can ensure that the global economy starts to recover -- however slowly --in 2010, rather than entering a more protracted period of economic stagnation.
So while our benchmark scenarios sees a severe U-shaped global recession with very weak growth recovery in 2010 we cannot exclude the possibility of a worse outcome, i.e. an L-shaped recession that – in our view – has at least a one third probability. So the worst is ahead of us rather than behind us for the real economy and for financial markets. With my forecast of 2009 earnings per share for S&P500 firms being in the 50 to 60 dollars range and with P/E ratio likely to be in the 10 to 12 range given a severe global recession the S&P500 could bottom – at some point in 2009 – at best at a level of 720 and, in a worse scenario, as low as 500 or 600. So, the worst is indeed still ahead of us." - 6:54 PM

He lives deep in the woods, far away from any major center of commerce, on a dirt road, guarded by dogs, in a wood cabin heated by an ancient kerosene furnace....
He spends a lot of time each year exploring and hiking hidden areas of the Grand Canyon suitable for making a quick getaway and hiding if necessary.....
Has a major sports addiction....

The technical term for these problems is "malocclusion," which means "bad bite."The results of orthodontic treatment can be dramatic ? beautiful smiles, improved dental health and an enhanced quality of life for people of all ages. Orthodontic problems must be diagnosed before treatment begins. Proper diagnosis involves careful study of photographs, x-rays, and dental impressions.Treatment typically lasts from 6 to 30 months, depending on age, and the severity of the orthodontic problem. Outstanding results are also highly dependent on maximum cooperation and coordination of care between you and our practice. We are committed to delivering the best possible service in order for you to achieve your orthodontic goals.What?s the right age for Orthodontic Treatment?All children should receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. This allows early identification of potential problems. Certain orthodontic conditions are also best treated at this age. Full braces are placed after most of the permanent teeth erupt, generally age ten to twelve. Adults are also prime candidates for orthodontic treatment.The timing of your treatment is VERY important, a consultation will allow us to better understand your needs. Please contact our office if you have any questions.How do braces work?There are two main components of braces, brackets, which are bonded directly to the tooth, and archwires, that connect the brackets. Contrary to what most people think, it is the archwire that actually moves the teeth. The brackets serve only as "handles". The archwire generates a steady gentle pressure to move the teeth into their proper position.Like moving a stick through sand, as the tooth moves, the bone gives way on one side, and fills in on the other. Elastics are used to make the upper and lower teeth bite together properly.

10 Myths About Job Hunting During a Recession
Temporary jobs are not dead ends.
Myth 1: No one is hiring.
Fact: While some industries are affected much more than others during a recession, many experience drastic growth and others are much quicker to bounce back. Also, many companies lay off regular employees, but hire consultants and freelancers instead, to save money, providing even more opportunities if you're willing to look outside of the full-time job box.
[See The 50 Best Careers of 2011.]
Myth 2: You have to accept less money.
Fact: Companies are still willing to pay for good employees, and they understand that it is necessary to offer a competitive wage to have the best on their team. In fact, asking for less than your market value could be a turn-off. It's OK to be flexible, but too much flexibility may make an employer feel you'll be out the door as soon as something better comes along.
Myth 3: No one hires employees over 55.
Fact: During a recession, companies are looking for ways to minimize costs—keep in mind that training a junior employee is a huge cost. The difference between finding an experienced candidate who needs minimal training and has a significantly shorter learning curve, and bringing on a junior employee with lower salary but a lack of experience and a large upfront investment in training, could easily make up the salary difference.
[See The 50 Best Places to Work for 2012.]
Myth 4: If you have an outstanding education and great Experience, you're guaranteed a job.
Fact: Nothing guarantees a job these days. Your education is valuable to some companies, but direct experience usually (not always) trumps education. And don't forget that personality and culture fit have just as much to do with getting the job as your experience and education.
Myth 5: You'll find the jobs online.
Fact: Job boards are a starting point in your jobs search, but they're certainly not the only place to look. Face-to-face interactions, in-person networking, and social networking opportunities will prove to be crucial in your job search.
Myth 6: Don't bother approaching companies in a hiring freeze.
Fact: Don't let the words "hiring freeze" stop you. First, if nothing else, you can build some contacts and establish relationships that will be useful later on, when the company starts to hire again. Second, employees continue to make changes and exceptions to hiring new employees will be made for replacement positions.
Myth 7: Temporary jobs are dead ends.
Fact: Temporary positions sound like a quick, easy way to make some cash while you wait for something better to come along, but many times these positions will turn into full-time opportunities or at least give you an opportunity to get a foot in the door for future positions more aligned with your skills. Some employers are very cautious about hiring new people, so they hire a temporary/contract worker and then, if things work out, they will hire them permanently.
[See 8 Reasons to Continue Your Holiday Job Search.]
Myth 8: All you can do is send out resumes and wait.
Fact: Just sending out resumes and waiting for you phone to ring won't land you a job. Get out there and be aggressive in your job search. You can seek out positions that aren't necessarily being advertised by networking with people and meeting up with hiring managers at your target companies. Blindly applying for a job online is rarely how you will land your next position.
Myth 9: No one will hire you if you've been fired.
Fact: Most potential employers won't know you were fired by just looking at your resume, unless you're the one to bring it up. You'll have the chance to win them over in the interview and when the topic of why you left your last position comes up, you can deal with it diplomatically. If you were fired in a job previous to your last position, it's likely it won't even come up.
Myth 10: You should take the first job offered.
Fact: It's easy to think you should accept anything that comes along, with the economy so slow, but make sure you take time to consider as many options as possible. Consulting, freelancing, and even taking on temp jobs are all better options than getting stuck in a job you know in advance you will hate.

I know the price of gold has gone sky high but I thought these earrings would have been a bit thicker than they are. But in estimating you do get what you pay for. I checked out a local jewelry shop and they were somewhat more for the same thing. I was in a bit of a pinch since I had lost one of my good gold earrings so this was the way I decided would be the best.

MORGANTOWN - Steve Dunlap and Shannon Dawson are well aware of what their new official responsibilities on West Virginia's coach staff entail.
Dunlap is the Mountaineers' new special-teams coordinator and Dawson the offensive coordinator. Both admit that those titles don't really mean much of a difference in their responsibilities given that Dunlap has coached just about every special team there is and Dawson will still reside in the somewhat considerable shadow of one Dana Holgorsen.
Then again, seeing those titles written down in black and white and being handed the rather public responsibilities for how those units fare does, in a way, put targets squarely on their respective backsides.
"It means,'' Dunlap said with his usual modicum of happy sarcasm, "that now there's somebody to blame.''
"Oh, I've been blamed before,'' Dawson said. "That's nothing new.''
Holgorsen on Tuesday finally settled on and made public the assignments for his nearly half-new coaching staff. There are, of course, big changes on the defensive side, where only Dunlap remains and not a single position will have the same coach as a year ago.
Shoot, for that matter there aren't many positions that are the same given West Virginia's switch from the 3-3-5 to what Holgorsen called "a 3-4 [scheme] we'll be able to kick down to a 4-3.''
What's a Buck? Or a Star? And where oh where has Mike gone?
(The answer, for the record and according to co-defensive coordinator Joe DeForest, is that the Star and the Buck are the two outside linebackers in the 3-4, with the Buck likely to be the one who kicks down to make it a 4-3. The Mike? Well, there's really no middle linebacker in a 3-4, so they are the Sam and Will. Hey, at least those two guys are still around).
Anyway, the big shake-up goes all the way through the defense, where newbie Erik Slaughter coaches the line, DeForest the safeties (only two now) and co-coordinator Keith Patterson the linebackers, mostly the inside guys. Dunlap, when he's not special-teaming it, gets the outside linebackers.
Oh, and Daron Roberts, as expected, moves over from offense to coach the cornerbacks.
Yes, that makes five defensive assistant coaches as opposed to the four of recent years, which suits Dunlap just fine given that the defensive guys get the brunt of the special-teams work.
"Really, with the exception of some of the returners, aren't they all defensive guys?'' Dunlap said. "Even the front line on kick returns, those aren't offensive linemen up there. They're safeties and guys who can move.''
The most interesting thing, though, is Dunlap's new job as a semi-full-time special-teams coordinator. Has there been a more consistently criticized area of West Virginia's football teams over the past few years than special teams?
Of course not.

Harvard and M.I.T Team Up to Offer Free online Courses
A number of elite colleges plan to offer similar "FREE" courses
There's a trend emerging of elite universities planning to offer FREE online courses, referred to as Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs.
Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Wednesday announced edX, a new nonprofit partnership to offer free online courses from both universities. They are joined by other universities who announced similar projects this month, including Stanford, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan — who announced their partnership with a new commercial company, Coursera, with $16 million in venture capital.
The new courses offer vast new learning opportunities for students around the world, with top notch technology including: video lesson segments, embedded quizzes, immediate feedback and student-paced learning.
And the number of students enrolled are massive. M.I.T's learning project, MITX, had about 120,000 students enrolled in it's first course that began in March; some 10,000 of whom made it through the recent midterm exam.
The edX program, which is expected to offer its first five courses this fall, will be overseen by a nonprofit organization governed equally by the two universities, each of which has committed $30 million to the project, the New York Times reported.
"Projects like this can impact lives around the world, for the next billion students from China and India," George Siemens, a MOOC pioneer who teaches at Athabasca University, a publicly supported online Canadian university, told the New York Times. "But if I were president of a mid-tier university, I would be looking over my shoulder very nervously right now, because if a leading university offers a free circuits course, it becomes a real question whether other universities need to develop a circuits course."

Obviously, Estes has found a groove at Old White TPC and he explained what has allowed him to stay so solid.
"This golf course isn't one where you hit driver off of every tee," Estes said. "It's not a real long golf course, there are plenty of 5-woods and 3-woods off a lot of the tees. A lot of it, you're playing for position, kind of fitting it in between the bunkers. Then you have to be an accurate iron player and control your distance, and that's one of the things I do best."
Estes' score in the morning Friday continued a trend over the first two days in which players playing early have seen a friendlier course than those in the afternoon.
"[Thursday] was much trickier because the wind was blowing in every direction," Estes said. "It was gusting at times, it was swirling. A lot of times you might pull a club and it's blowing one way and as soon as you hit it, it's coming the other direction. It was just more difficult to pick the right club and get the ball closer to the hole [Thursday]."
Hold the phone
Cell-phone abuse appears to be benign, especially compared to a previous tournament in the Columbus, Ohio, area.
There is a little confusion on the Old White TPC, however.
Marshals have been generally courteous in reminding fans about putting their phones on silent, and not taking pictures or videos.
The rules on using phones for other purposes has a few marshals stumped, it appears.
The tour policy, as listed in the pre-tournament media notes, reads as follows: "Fans can send/receive messages, check data and utilize the PGA Tour app on the course away from play.
The phrase "away from play" can be a gray area. It's clear that texting while a golfer is over his ball or lining up a putt is an obvious no-no, but texting from the side of the fairway during a golfer's walk to his ball may be confusing.
This is not: Some marshals have told patrons to put their phones in their pocket. Nothing in the policy, as provided to the media, prohibits the simple act of carrying phones.
Daly was playing in the group behind Tiger Woods, Webb Simpson and Scott Stricker, and had a good following. The birdie put him at 4-under.

After a brief hiatus, we've turned our attention back to Project Grandma with the installation of new spindles and steering arms from TRZ Motorsports and brakes from Aerospace Components for a return to the street after a tour of duty on the strip.
Project Grandma
Now before everyone gets their panties in a bunch, no we didn't buy a coffin for Grandma. But she is going to be stiff real soon! We've been waiting to get our '78 Malibu over to the chassis shop so we can get her 555 Musi engine installed shortly.
Project Grandma started out as a plain-Jane, refrigerator white, underpowered, smog-strangled '78 Malibu that was in desperate need of attention. After we got our hands on her, she was fitted out with a 25.5 roll cage and an asphalt-tattooing Edelbrock/Musi 555 cubic inch engine.
The first video in our Project Build of Project Grandma, our POS '78 Malibu which is destined for greatness. We're building a street racer type with Grandma, so don't take her ugly exterior the wrong way, we're looking for a 9-second car with a stock innocent look.
Project Grandma got serious in this episode where we removed the stock V6 engine from the '78 Malibu and got everything prepped for our big block engine.
Santa Claus comes to SoCal with a Big Inch Beast of a gift for Grandma. Our Edelbrock/Pat Musi five-fifty-five crate engine arrived today from Musi's New Jersey assembly plant.
Since Edelbrock and Pat Musi have joined forces to build this 555ci crate, which makes 675+ hp on pump gas and is just itching for a dose of Edelbrock Nitrous, we decided to work together with these two industry legends on this multi-part project.
We decided to have a little fun with granny before the build begins, so we pulled the fluids out of her, started her up and took bets on how long she would last. Check it out…!!
Our old grandma was a little weak in the in the hip, so it was decided to replace the body bushings. Something that would stand up to the abuse that this car is going to be receiving. Something like Energy Suspension's Hyperflex Bushings
In part one of this three article series, we looked at our bad ass Edelbrock/Musi five-fifty-five big block crate engine destined for our project car that we lovingly call "Grandma."
Today marked the first day toward the chassis fabrication of Project Grandma. We all have been longing to see our old gal come together, but there were a few things holding us back. Today, we ripped out the rear end, and now we are fully ready for our Chassis Engineering chrome moly roll cage, mini-tubs and chassis goodies.
Today we have an update on Project Grandma as Mike Ryan gets our '78 Malibu ready for our Chassis Engineering Mini-tubs, and then the 25.5 Roll Cage. We're starting with a Chassis Engineering chrome moly cage kit and then adding the bars necessary for the SFI 25.5 spec.
The next stage of the Mini-tub process on Project Grandma focuses on the frame rails. With the larger 295/65 M/T Drag Radial tires we would need to create more room in the wheel wells between the frame rail and quarter panel, so we did a little cutting and welding.
We left off last year with Grandma's frame notching for tire clearance. The problem was that by notching and rewelding the frame rails narrower – we didn't leave enough room for the 295/65 M/T ET Drag Radials to fit up into the wheel well. Thankfully our friends at Yellow Bullet were there to help us figure it out.
You've been following along with our quest to slam our Malibu with stock suspension and mini-tubs on a big Mickey Thompson ET Drag Radial 295/65 tire. Some people said "it can't be done" and others gave us advice. As you'll see, the ride height came out PERFECT. Thanks to everyone who gave us input. Here's how we did it.
Mike Ryan has been plugging away on our 1978 Malibu, Project Grandma, with the goal of getting the Chassis Engineering mini tubs built this week. First though, we've got the TRZ front suspension, QA1 Shocks, and Aerospace brakes bolted up. Check out our daily progress.
This week, we finished up 90% of the mini-tubs which were supplied by Chassis Engineering. In our '78 Malibu, we've already done segments on the narrowing of the frame rails, cutting out the stock wheel tubs, and boxing the frame rails back in. Now it was time to make sure we can fit the tire and wheel combination with our mini-tubs.
We have a lot in store for Project Grandma this week. With the mini tubs all in, our fabricator Mike Ryan got ready to start on the Chassis Engineering roll cage. However, first we would need to build the frame rails to comply with the 25.5 spec that would make the car legal to 7.50 e.t.'s.
We get rolling on the roll cage for Grandma with a 10-point chromoly setup from Chassis Engineering for our Malibu.

We will never share your email address
In the final segment of our Edelbrock/Musi crate engine build series, we're putting the Edelbrock/Musi 555 crate motor on the engine dyno and spray it down with nitrous to see if the power we expected is actually there.

Free standard shipping on full-size orders $50+
I was excited to try this product, based on the first few reviews (and the attractive price), but I was less than impressed. The "amazing scent" smells more like any other drugstore product. Going on, it's heavy and feels extremely sticky. Once dry, it holds fairly well, but feels crusty. It definitely isn't "color brightening" or add anything particularly great looking for feeling to my hair, either. Definitely won't be going back for a second bottle.
I do not like the smell or feel of this hairspray. It leaves a residue on my hair and all over my bathroom counters. I thought it would at least have a nice smell based on the name and previous reviews but it does not. A can of hairspray from your local drugstore can provide the same quality.
Twice this week on different days I have gotten compliments on my hair. Bain de Terre Color Brightening Spray is the only new thing I'm using. It really holds my style on a windy day. The color is full of shine, too. I am a blonde with straight hair, styling to add a little curve (curl?) on the ends.
I use this stuff every day! It provides great hold for about any hair style (I have very thick, full hair, so this is a huge accomplishment) and it smells AMAZING! It also leaves hair feeling soft and smooth, not rigid and filmy like most other hair/finishing sprays I have tried.
