Q: My 12-year-old daughter thinks she's old enough to set her own bedtime. We told her that we want her in bed, lights out, by 9:30 on weeknights and 10 on non-school nights. This really isn't working, however, as she continues to try to stay up later. In one of your books, you describe a system for letting teenagers earn their curfew. Can we use a similar system for bedtime?
Curfew and bedtime are horses of two different colors. The former involves safety, peer group, maturity and responsibility issues that are not involved, or as involved, as regards bedtime. For that reason, I would not advise using an approach similar to the curfew system that I describe in my book "Teen-Proofing."
I generally recommend that parents set no specific bedtime for a child 12 years of age or older; rather, they simply insist that after a certain time – say, 9 p.m. – the child is on nonpunitive restriction to her room. Assuming that she does not make it difficult for other family members to get a decent night's sleep, the youngster can stay up as late as she wants. However, if getting up in the morning and getting ready for school, church or whatever become problematic, then the parents go back to enforcing a specific, and relatively early, bedtime. In that unfortunate event, they also remove distracting electronic devices – cell phones, computers and the like – from the child's room so that she can fall asleep more easily and get the sleep she obviously needs.
If that step needs to be taken, then the child's room is cleansed and the "old" bedtime is enforced for at least a month, but no more than two months. Then parents replace the distractions and let the child determine her own bedtime again. My experience is that the "punishment" doesn't have to be used more than twice before the problem is solved.
This approach helps the pre-teen or young teen see the lifelong relationship between freedom (what this age child wants most) and responsible behavior (what parents want most from this age child). To maintain or gain more freedom, the child begins to act more responsibly. Win-win!
Q: Our 4-year-old daughter goes to the bathroom frequently during the day. Sometimes, she will go into the bathroom, pee, come out, and go back in again within minutes. Her need – if that's the right word – increases when we put her in her room for timeout, during naptime in the afternoon, and after we put her to bed at night. Her pediatrician has ruled out a urinary tract problem. How do you recommend handling this?
I'm glad you told me her physician has ruled out a urinary tract problem because I wouldn't have given you advice otherwise. This isn't the first time parents have described this problem with a girl this age. Odd, for sure, but nearly all young children do odd things of one sort or another, and one or two odd things does not make an odd child. The somewhat selective nature of the problem tells me this is a tad manipulative.
Tell your daughter that if she has to go to the bathroom more than once during her naptime, that you have to move her bedtime back one hour that evening (notice the margin of error). Otherwise, I recommend that you completely – and I mean COMPLETELY – ignore her need to be in frequent contact with white porcelain during normal waking hours. With dispassionate enforcement on your part, the naptime urges should disappear within a couple of weeks.
When you think that part of the problem has been solved, use a similar approach concerning her bedtime urges. Tell her that if she goes to the bathroom more than once after being put to bed, you will move her bedtime back an hour the next night. If my experience serves me well, that approach – ignoring and a mild consequence – should clear up her urinary tract hyperactivity in short order.

The Associated Press obtained a statement Wednesday in which Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said the more than 4,000 wolves in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin have exceeded recovery goals and will be removed from the endangered species list.
The federal de-listing rule removing wolves from the endangered species list will be published in the Federal Register on Wednesday, Dec. 28, and will take effect Friday, Jan. 27, 30 days after its publication.
Responsibility for managing and protecting these wolves will be turned over to state wildlife agencies. The populations will be monitored for at least five years to make sure they remain at sustainable levels.
The Interior Department also said it is reconsidering a previously announced plan to remove endangered species protections for wolves in 29 Eastern states, even though they are not believed to have any established wolf populations. Officials say they will decide on the status of Eastern wolves later.

As the title says, is it safe to consume flour once its past its expiry date or should it be thrown away?
The main things that can go bad with flour, assuming it is properly stored are:
If you don't see any insects, and it still smells good, you should feel free to use it. If it smells off or nasty—trust me, your nose will tell you—then you will want to discard it. The actual date on the bag is only a guideline. |
Normally no problem. But check if there is flour worms in the flour. To do so, follow these steps:
If you have flour worms, some very small larvae (less than 1 mm) will break the smooth surface of the flour, and get visible. If you have these larvae, you should throw everything you have of flour products in your closet and wash your closet thoroughly. Otherwise, the expiration date is not all the world to care about when it comes to dry goods. |

FOODIE MARTA BLOGT: ¡Viva México! – Mango Avocado Salsa
Once in a while, I wake up and miss the times I lived in Mexico. The constantly gorgeous weather, the white sand beaches, the most delicious street tacos. Spending days lying in a hamaca, eating mangos straight from trees and having avocados for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Mangos and avocados - two things I got completely hooked on while living in Mexico. I also quickly discovered that the two go really well together. That's how this salsa came about. A simple combination but so rich in flavor! And with multiple use - it's great on a taco, with tortilla chips or on a grilled salmon!
1 ripe mango
2 ripe avocados
1 red onion
Handful of coriander
Salt & pepper
Peel the mango and slice the mango. Cut into cubes. Peel and pit the avocado. Cut into cubes. Peel red onion and slice into small pieces. In a bowl, gently toss mango, avocado and onion. Add coriander. Season with salt & pepper!
¡Buen provecho!

Comment: Re:Bitcoin (Score 3, Insightful) 263
In other words, you have this insane idea that since a few people have made out like bandits from Bitcoins extreme volatility, that it is somehow this magical deflationary entity that is a better investment than any of the thousands of securities one can purchase on the regulated stock market. That, somehow, magically, is a store of value that can beat inflation and, somehow, will magically be able to beat all the other umpteen crypto currencies out there that anyone can create with a flick of a finger (literally).
You also seem to believe that bitcoin exchanges are somehow magically governed by banking and securities laws that allow people to 'invest' and 'trade' safely, and that one can be insured against theft by putting their trust in unknown third parties running piss-ant little companies who happen to be able to set up a web site and throw some glitter on it.
I will tell you what Bitcoin is. Bitcoin is worthless as a currency (too volatile and too illiquid), meaningless as a commodity (because anyone can create their own crypto currency with a flick of a finger), not even remotely deflationary except in the minds of the true believers, and unusable as any sort of store of value except by idiots who think that quoted numbers on an exchange lend it credibility and back-of-the-hand calculations that someone, somewhere has gotten filthy rich trading it (ignoring the thousands of people who have gone broke trying to do the same).
There are always a few people with crazy views. It doesn't mean the views are any less crazy just because the internet lends them a voice. You actually believe that the stock market is some kind of scam and that bitcoin is somehow magically better? The level of stupidity required to form your opinion is beyond my comprehension.

Why don't you show prices?
Product announcements discuss features, but never prices. Why not?
Dear Control Engineering: When I read new product announcements or technology articles, you spend lots of time discussing functions and features, but how can I evaluate the value of a product if you don't give the price?
It's true that we don't normally list prices when we discuss products. I won't say it's never happened, but mentioning a price is exceedingly rare.
There are many reasons for that. Here are a few:
1. Many products have too complex a price structure to make it practical. Often items have too many configuration options for us to list them all.
2. Information in our magazine and on our Website has too long a life. You can read a product release from several years ago on our site, and unless you're paying close attention to the date, you might not realize how old it is. Since then, the price may have changed, which could be more or less depending on the technology.
3. Information in our magazine and on our Website can be read anywhere in the world. Pricing for all products is not the same in all global markets.
4. Perhaps the most compelling reason that we don't list prices is that the manufacturers don't want us to. Take a look at a typical issue of Control Engineering and see how many ads list products with prices. There are some that do it routinely, such as AutomationDirect and Omega, but these are generally for items that are less than $1,000 and sold directly to users with little or no special configuration. Products that are more complex are typically sold through more complex distribution channels, including company salespeople, regional distributors or rep organizations. Such groups like to have control over pricing, and if we publish numbers, that can confuse the issue. Some customers may receive preferential discounts, unique configurations, or other services bundled with the hardware, and there's no way we can reflect that.
The best advice is to consult your supplier.

I remember a New Yorker cartoon a few years back. Two tweedy academic types stroll in some ivied college quad as a chapel empties out in the background. One observes to his colleague: "Poor Smithers! Published and published--yet perished all the same!" This send-up of the futility of academic productivity begs comparison with an earlier critic of the scribal craft, none other than King Solomon. At home in Mesopotamian natural science, master of the revelations of written and oral Torah, and, the rabbis tell us, fluent in the languages of birds and palm trees, Shlomo haMelech shocks us with advice that blunts the quill of even the most eager young scrivener: Above all, my son, come and see -- Academic books remaindered eternally. Fine! Knock yourself out! Stock the library! But who'll read your stuff? Not even me! (Eccl. 12:12: rendered, you see, with midrashic liberty!) What gives? Can Shlomo haMelech have begun the line of thought that issued, after three millennia, in the Philistinism of a Henry Ford (may his bones rot in an Edsel showroom!), who opined that "History is bunk?" Fear not, gentle reader. Incline an ear as I intone the name: Rawidowicz! "Who?"you ask. "Is this one of Feigenzohn's flunkies?" Nope. Shraga Feigenzohn -- last encountered by JTNews readers in my Purim Torah, "A L'Chaim for Hegel" -- was a mole, but Simon Rawidowicz was a lion. A founding father of Brandeis University, and part of its original faculty, Rawidowicz is remembered (almost solely by academic scribes) as the author of "Israel: The Ever-Dying People," one of the most penetrating essays on Jewish historical memory ever written in secular academe. His thesis is simple: the engine that drives Jewish survival is fueled by the conviction that the most recent Jewish generation is certainly the last. Let Rawidowicz explain: "I am often tempted to think that this fear of cessation in Israel was a kind of protective collective emotion. Israel has indulged so much in the fear of its end, that its constant vision of the end helped it to overcome every crisis, to emerge from every threatening end as a living unit, though much wounded and reduced. tIn anticipating the end, it became its master. Thus no catastrophe could ever take this end-fearing people by surprise, so as to put it off its balance, still less to obliterate it -- as if Israel's incessant preparation for the end made this very end absolutely impossible." Rawidowicz penned these words in the late 1940s, capturing perfectly the moment in which the absolute despair of European Jewry was transformed into the radical hope that produced Zionism's astounding historical victory. Today, that radical hope is all but gone. The redemptive Zionist project, so self-confident in the 1950s, has come apart at the seams, its many latent contradictions exposed like raw nerves. Who can guess what horrors this summer's dismantling of Jewish Gaza may yet bring? Israel has so far survived the hatred of the Arabs, but can it survive the religious resentment and political absolutism that divides its Jewish citizenry? Haredim -- often referred to as Hasidic in these parts -- detest Israel as the embodiment of "Zionist hatred for God and Torah." Yesha (the settler movement of messianic Zionism) reviles Israel's elected leaders as "enemies of Zionism and the Jewish people." When the heirs of Zionism have lost all concept of its meaning, we must wonder -- has the reconstruction of Jewish life in national-political terms utterly failed? The Jewish State once laid plausible claim to embody Am Yisrael's historical spirit. Today the state seems more like a bloated sacred cow, surrounded by hyenas, Arab and Jewish, awaiting a share of the staggering carcass. If, God forbid, the democratic Jewish State falls to the Palestinian nation, what will replace it? A vengeful bloodbath, for sure, followed by the Democratic Republic of Palestine, to which the last Jews may kindly apply for exit visas. And if it falls to Jews? Maybe less blood. But is it crazy to imagine a Taliban-like rabbinic theocracy administered by the Gedoylim of the "Torah Camp," or an administration of "purification" supervised by our very own Brown Shirts from Eretz Yisrael HaShelemah? Choose your nightmare. If any of them survives into daylight, what reconstructive cultural project can American Judaism offer in response? No doubt we'll take in more than our share of Israeli refugees. But what then? What could exile mean again in this century after the Holocaust of 193345 and the redemption of 1948? How many of our pulpit rabbis are up to that d'var Torah for the coming generation, and who will come to hear? Our straits are dire, but we are not without resources. As the Ever-Dying People, we are also the Ever-Transformed People. Even now, as we conclude the weeks of mourning that lead us to relive the collective trauma of Tisha b'Av, we anticipate the solace of the weeks of consolation and the confidence of the season of repentence. The message that Torah brings to us this season should not be lost upon us: the loss of the Temple -- of everything that sanctifies the truths we hold about ourselves -- is the precondition of our perpetual rebirth. Maybe this is why King Solomon cautioned disciples against the writing of books. Historians tell us where we've been, but the future can only be written by our actions. And actions, to be truly bold, must be unfettered by what historical memory alone holds forth as possible. Let the King over Israel in Jerusalem have the final word: "The words of the sages must be like goads, Like nails sunk into flesh -- Overcoming memory, Gift of One Shepherd (Eccl. 12:11) Human books tell us what was, but Torah min HaShamayim -- the disclosure of God's power to heal and transform -- propels the redeeming deed.

Nice, very nice. I'd tighten the straps of the jet pack harness so they are less visable, but otherwise I think it's great.
Excellent color scheme you chose.
I really like it .. it looks 'authentic'.

I guess my biggest peeve is people wanting it just for the sake of being able to claim those guys to make our team look better.
As for it being pointless, I honestly don't think so. According to all these buzz guys, it was about the "movement" and "experience", Going back to Hornets with a fun team like the one we have should be enough to bring excitement.

Obviously 'mile' refers to what could be seen (from a human perspective) as a long distance, but why does the adjective 'country' combine to make it mean a very great distance?
There are two possibilities: either the difficulty of terrain makes a country mile harder to travel; or before standardisation, miles were further. An example of the first from Frederick de Kruger's 1829 The Villager's Tale An example of the second comes from The Treasury of Knowledge and Library of Reference in 1850: |
This is an interesting question. I don't have a citation for you, but I have always understood this to refer to the fact that going a mile cross country is much more arduous than the same distance over a paved road, with many more twists and turns, not to mention thickets, streams and what have you. |
A country mile is an exaggerated distance. Mile is from the Latin for 1,000 paces [mille passuum] and has become standardized in English as 1,760 yards. The term "country mile" may be by analogy to a nautical mile (one minute of a great circle of the earth; fixed at 6,080 feet), an Irish mile (2,240 yards), a Scottish mile (various, including 1,976 yards), or it may be because the winding character of many country roads requires a long distance to be traversed in order to travel a mile as the crow flies. |
A country mile is perhaps a far longer arbitrary distance than a proper mile for the considerably longer distances between homes and other settlements in the country than in less rural areas. |
I have nothing but anecdotal evidence, having walked "a country mile." There are no mountains in the distance, just flat lands. The distance seems to go on for quite some time. It is an exaggeration of terms. |
It was penned by the map maker Henry joist in1651. He set out the county of Essex. He calibrated his equipment incorrectly, as a result his mile was a mile and a half. The term for a distance longer than anticipated was originally an Essex mile, later changed to country mile. |
It refers to the fact that due to the winding manner of the country roads, even though it may be a mile as the crow flies, it may take multiple miles to arrive by road. |
Things are farther apart in the country. So, if you asked me where the gas station was. I might say, "Oh, it's right down the street". Right down the street to me, might mean 10 miles away. 10 miles in the city means a completely different part of town. 10 miles in the country, is right down the street. Right down the street is a country mile. |
When I hear this phrase I am always reminded of when we would play games as kids and something slightly out of the rules would occur. It was a favourite gag for the offender to grin and declare "country rules", before continuing as if nothing had happened. For this reason I have always associated "country" with "approximated and generous". Completely anecdotal and a bit of a tangent as information, but it as a country dweller the first phrase has always informed my use of "a country mile". |

A Moore resident thought her dog did not survive the tornado that devastated the Oklahoma City suburb. But miracles do happen.
Barbara Garcia spoke to a CBS reporter explaining the game plan she had for her dog in the event of a tornado and gave a seasoned reaction to the fact that her home had been reduced to rubble.
"This is life in the big city, " Garcia said.
Then something unthinkable took place. Her dog, Cathy, slowly emerged from the debris as their camera rolled. Their happy reunion was broadcast live, as Garcia stooped to embrace the pup.
"Bless your little goody heart," Garcia cried.
The crew helped her pull Cathy from the rubble.
"I thought God just answered one prayer, to let me be okay. He answered both of them. Because this was my second prayer," Garcia said.

Talisman Energy Inc Stock Upgraded (TLM)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Talisman Energy (NYSE:TLM) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from sell to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in net income, good cash flow from operations and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the company's return on equity has been disappointing.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income increased by 421.4% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$117.00 million to $376.00 million.
- Net operating cash flow has slightly increased to $546.00 million or 6.84% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow, TALISMAN ENERGY INC's cash flow growth rate is still lower than the industry average growth rate of 18.89%.
- TALISMAN ENERGY INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has not demonstrated a clear trend in earnings over the past two years, making it difficult to accurately predict earnings for the coming year. During the past fiscal year, TALISMAN ENERGY INC swung to a loss, reporting -$0.01 versus $0.31 in the prior year.
- In its most recent trading session, TLM has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its weak earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. Looking ahead, our view is that this company's fundamentals will not have much impact in either direction, allowing the stock to generally move up or down based on the push and pull of the broad market.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market, TALISMAN ENERGY INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

If you're only drinking traditional Coca-Cola or Sprite at your barbecue, you're missing out. Come along as we introduce you to some of the most popular Latin American fizzy drinks you should be drinking this summer. You'll be surprised at their unique and unusual flavors; plus, your palate will appreciate a little change for the exótico.
Malta (Flicker Photo)MALTA: Known as the "children's beer" throughout the Caribbean, malta is a non-alcoholic brew, similar in color and carbonation to its harder counterpart. It's very sweet in taste with some brands containing up to 45 grams of sugar per serving, but be in the lookout for "Malta Light" with significantly fewer calories. It's also rich in vitamin B, making it a favorite among old-school mamás who would mix malta with a raw egg to make ponche, a concoction thought to fatten up skinny kids.
Jupiña (Flicker Photo)
JUPINA: A soda made with pineapple juice or jugo de piña (thus the name) is a drink brought to the states by Cuban immigrants. Its bright sweetness lends itself perfectly to accompany salty sandwiches like the popular cubano sandwich.
Inca Kola (Flicker Photo)
INCA KOLA: South America's answer to Coca Cola was created in Peru in 1935, and it has been a real competition to the American soft drink giant ever since. While the uninitiated may have a hard time with its somewhat "bubblegum" flavor, Inca Kola's main ingredient, lemon verbena, gives it a hint of citrus. And, many Peruvians swear that ceviche tastes better with an Inca Kola fría.
VIDEO: Outrageous Colombia-style hot dogs
Colombiana (Flicker Photo)
COLOMBIANA: To call it just another cream soda would be a disservice to this grand Colombian of soft drinks. While the flavor fits closer to cola champagne, we love that it has a beer-like tartness that counterbalances its sweetness nicely. It's the perfect soda to have with an asado or any grilled meat. Or if you'd rather have a more adult beverage, mix it with beer and rum to make Refajo Colombiano, a popular Colombian cocktail.
Coco Rico (Flicker Photo)
COCO RICO: Before coconut water became the newest trend in healthy beverages, Puerto Rico led the market turning it into a soda with Coco Rico. Boricuas swear its delicate and lightly sweet flavor is the perfect companion to a tasty roast pork or lechón asado.

A prize to someone who directs me to where I can download Reader for PPC at adobe.com! All searches direct me to Acrobat X pages with lots of offers to buy smth or learn about 'new mobile features', but not a single link to download mobile version..
Google search much faster directed me to 3rd party websites to download Adobre Reader 2.0 PPC which speaks about poor adobe.com organization.
I second that. I've spent over half an hour scanning the website for the download link, found info on the Android version, successfully downloaded the latest Adobe for the computer- but where is the Windows Mobile link? Please Adobe, this is a big waste of our time... please design a large download button like you have done for the main program. If it's not available, don't advertise it. If it's available, tell us where it is!!!
Adobe Reader for Pocket PC is a discontinued line, and therefore not available from the Adobe.com website. There is an official download of Adobe Reader 2.0 for Pocket PC (PPC 2000 and Windows Mobile 2003 to 6.5) at CNET. Never download Adobe software from any unofficial site, and the unauthorized online sharing of Adobe software, even free Adobe software, is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.
The current mobile apps within the Adobe Acrobat X Family support Windows Phone 7, Android and Symbian devices only, and are distributed either via this website or the platform marketplaces, depending on the platform requirements for installation and code signing. Adobe Reader LE2.5, which runs on Windows Mobile 2003 to 6.5, is an OEM-flashed application and not available to the general public as a download.

Morse felt anxious as he crossed the St. Jude school grounds. The school sat on a hillside that sloped down to the wide Taganac River, which narrowed and picked up speed and crashed over Bryce Falls a mile downstream near Morse's small rental home. Morse was tall and thin and as gray and sepulchral as a church about to be condemned. From behind him on the path came Aldo Cummings, an odd duck, who, though nearly forty, still lived with his mother. Morse hoped Cummings wouldn't collar him, yet when he didn't, then Morse worried about why Cummings hadn't collared him. Morse was a worrywart; he seemed to spend his time agonizing over things instead of actually doing them. He had a wife and two kids, Robert and Annie, but was worried about Robert who seemed especially passive. Cummings was pleased that he snubbed Morse whom he considered a smug member of the power elite in the Village. Cummings considered himself a struggling artist, his head filled with visions of his own genius and eventual fame. Morse remembered how he had been tricked into painting his ass blue in high school by Len Beck and then how happy he had felt when he heard Beck had died in the Taganac Falls that night. Just then he saw two red-haired girls sail by in a green canoe, drifting with the current. He went back to his daydreaming, thinking of how much he loved his wife, Ruth, but then he realized that the canoe had been oarless and it was speeding toward the Falls. Cummings saw the canoe ram the steep upstream wall of the Snag and the girls were thrown overboard. Cummings stood stunned; he stumbled over the berm, looking for help but he found only a farm field of tall dry corn. Morse ran to the River, still uncertain what had befallen the girls, but worried that they might be in trouble (and worried if they were in trouble, what he could possibly do about it; he was very bad under pressure). He expected their to be a rescue line of men trying to help the girls, but when he rounded the bend, he saw the girls struggling, crying for help, all alone. He stood, undecided, wishing himself elsewhere; the girls were already dead, he thought, no one could blame him for leaving. Finally, he kicked off his loafers and threw his body out across the water.

Orlando, Fla.—The House of Delegates just made it easier for members to pay their dues.
In a landmark move that reinforces the American Dental Association's commitment to a diverse and inclusive profession, the ADA Board of Trustees has issued a public apology to dentists for not strongly enforcing nondiscriminatory membership practices prior to 1965.
"No dentist wants to find himself in a courtroom."
The Great American Smokeout challenges people to stop smoking for 24 hours with the long-term goal that the decision will last forever.
Joint Base Andrews, Md.—Maj. Gen. Gerard A. Caron, a former private practice dentist, assumed Air Force dental command and new medical command responsibilities in a Sept. 24 ceremony at this Maryland military base.
Battle Creek, Mich.—ADA President Raymond Gist questioned the policy impact of an Oct. 26 report on dental therapists while commending dialogue on the nation's oral health.
Boise, Idaho—The private contractor that oversees Idaho's Medicaid system reversed its decision Oct. 20 to drastically cut the number of dentists who provide Medicaid services.
He was standing at a podium in Orlando addressing the House of Delegates—the "supreme governing body" of the Association—but in a larger sense he was speaking directly to the entire ADA membership, 157,000 strong.
Washington—Third molar clinical studies may offer new risk-benefit guidance for dentist and patient decision making on wisdom tooth treatment, American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons researchers said at an Oct. 19 news conference.
Dr. Don Hite of Independence, Mo., asks about a light curing unit Oct. 9 at the World Marketplace Exhibition during annual session in Orlando, Fla.

The cause of Peyronie's disease isn't completely understood, but a number of factors appear to be involved. It's thought Peyronie's disease generally results from the rupturing of small blood vessels inside the penis. For example, the penis may be damaged during sex, athletic activity or as the result of an accident. During the healing process, blood cells and other cells are trapped at the site of injury, which leads to the buildup of scar tissue. However, not all men who have a penis injury develop Peyronie's disease. It's thought that inherited traits may play a role in who is susceptible to the disorder.
Each side of the penis contains a sponge-like tube (corpus cavernosum) that contains many tiny blood vessels. When you become sexually aroused, blood flow to these chambers increases. As chambers fill with blood, the penis expands, straightens and stiffens into an erection. Each of the corpus cavernosa are encased in a sheath of elastic tissue called the tunica albuginea (TOO-nih-kuh al-bu-JIN-e-uh), which stretches during an erection. Injury to the penis can damage this tissue. If an injury heals properly, there are generally no long-term problems. In Peyronie's disease, problems in the normal wound-healing process result in permanent scar tissue. The section of the sheath with scar tissue is no longer flexible. When the penis becomes erect, the region with the scar tissue doesn't stretch, and the penis bends or becomes disfigured and may be painful.
In some men, Peyronie's disease comes on gradually and doesn't seem to be related to an injury. Researchers are investigating whether Peyronie's disease might be linked to immune system disorders.

Girls Dressed Up As Daleks From Dr. Who
This is a picture of three girls dressed up as Daleks from Dr. Who standing in front of some liquefied petroleum gas. Needless to say, it's the sexist thing I've seen all Memorial Day and would do all three of them in this order: 2,3,1. You know, for America. U-S-A! U-S-A!

New efficient engine prototype revealed
Hybrid engines aren't the only way to improve fuel efficiency. Scuderi Group unveiled a cutaway of its Scuderi Split-Cycle Engine prototype at the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) 2009 World Congress in Detroit. The new design is the first major change in engine dynamics since its creation 130 years ago, says Bill Wren, representative for the family-run start-up.
Most conventional internal combustion engines operate using the Otto Cycle. The Otto Cycle uses four strokes of a piston--intake, compression, power, and exhaust--that fire in quick succession using two revolutions of the crank shaft to complete the cycle. This process is only 30 percent efficient, which means you get only 30 percent the energy contained in a gallon of gasoline.
In the Scuderi Split-Cycle Engine, the four strokes are divided over two paired cylinders--one intake/compression cylinder and one power/exhaust cylinder. On a conventional engine, the combustion occurs as the piston is going up. But in the Split-Cycle engine, the piston pair fires after top-dead center, and combustion occurs as the pistons comes down, producing more efficient, cleaner combustion with one cylinder pair and compressed air in the other. … Read more
How to split audio tracks
Like to listen to audio books on your MP3 player, but your player lacks a bookmark function? If you have long audio files that haven't already been split into chapters, it can be a pain to fast-forward to the desired point in the track. This tutorial can help you split audio books into shorter tracks on your own. It can also be used with music, although track length and nomenclature will be different than what is described here. (A tip: if you are splitting an audio file with several songs in it, use points of silence as a guide rather than the counter.)
Cost: Free
Time commitment: Varies
System requirements: Mac or Windows
Download and install Audacity For either Windows or Mac. Download and install the latest LAME MP3 encoder Extract the LAME file From the LAME.zip file, extract only the file lame_enc.dll. Save it someplace that's easy to find on your hard drive, such as the desktop. (When you export your files as MP3, Audacity will ask you to locate it.) Open Audacity Go to File > Open, then select the audio file you wish to split from wherever it is stored on your hard drive. In the upper-right corner of the window, ensure that the selection tool (it looks like an uppercase "I") button is highlighted. Highlight selection Starting at the very beginning of the audio file, click and drag the selector so that it highlights a selection of the file. (You can use the keyboard arrows to zero in on "0" if necessary.)… Read moreFor IAC, a fresh start in a tough climate
InterActiveCorp, the sprawling conglomerate of brands helmed by media titan Barry Diller, is formally splitting into five separate companies Thursday. And it hopes to do so quietly.
The story is familiar by now: Diller, determined to solidify himself as capable of mastering both old and new media, has long insisted that a lack of confidence on Wall Street has suppressed IAC's stock price. So last November, Diller made the big announcement that IAC would be slimming down to a core of ad- and subscription-supported Internet media brands such as Ask.com, Match.com, Bloglines, Citysearch, Vimeo, and Evite.

Oakley tips hat, and MP3 shades, to Jamiroquai
After Oakley came out with its "Medusa Hat" last month, we were beginning to wonder what was going on over there. But now that we see it's releasing a new pair of MP3 sunglasses dedicated to Jamiroquai, perhaps it's becoming clearer where they get their inspiration for headgear designs.
The latest version of Oakley's "Split Thump" line of shades is a 1GB Jamiroquai special edition, according to Engadget. With a purple and white camo pattern, it's sure to bring you right back to your disco-rave days--or something. We just appreciate that, thanks … Read more
Split: Oakley's latest MP3 sunglasses

Aside from a new, more understated look, the Split Thumps now allow you to remove the included earpieces for those times when you just want to wear a normal looking pair of sunglasses.
Of course, I can already tell that the new detachable design will be the Split Thump's biggest drawback as well, since it makes … Read more
Sun looks to brighten stock with reverse split
So, Sun investors, does that $5 stock price got you down? Change may be in the wind.
No, there is no crystal ball or vision of a mega-buyout around the corner. But rather, the company is looking to throw a little Miracle-Gro on the stock.

Web Shirts: 20 rad T-shirt sites
Internet commerce is becoming the new pastime for many in my generation. Generation Yers like to buy interesting T-shirts online, and there's no shortage of sites out there that are putting out an absurd amount of user-generated designs. Here's a list of more than 20 quality sites that put cotton, and inspiration, on your back.
Readymade: These services sell shirts that are designed by users and professionals. Threadless is one of the most popular shirtmakers out there. It started out with user votes to pick out which shirts would go on sale, and have since moved on to independent designers. When shirts sell out, they're typically not for sale again unless the demand becomes great. They're also set to open a retail store in Chicago next month. Glarkware, a small Canadian shirt company, is based out of Toronto, Ontario, and has a fairly eccentric line of humor-related shirts. They've also got a line of T-shirts on the way for toddlers. Shirt.Woot. From the same bunch that does good ol' Woot.com and Wine.Woot.com, is Shirt.Woot.com--a one-shirt-per-day service that rolls out a new design every night at midnight Central time. Every shirt is always $10 with free shipping, along with the option to get it delivered in two days for another five bucks. While a good deal of the shirts are designed by professionals, the service also runs a weekly "derby" with user-generated designs. The most popular design goes on sale, and the designer gets a cut of the profits. Bountee is a hybrid service that offers both professionally designed T-shirts and a build-it-yourself solution. Bountee features a variety of "Web 2.0" features like tagging, user ratings, and commenting. It's also got a really slick, easy-to-use design. Split The Atom is a U.K.-based T-shirt company that's pretty much exactly like Threadless, but with a smaller selection. It also takes user designs in return for a one-time cash prize. Design by Humans has a very small collection of shirts, but offers some pretty decent prize money for winning designers with a daily, weekly, and monthly design contest. Each designer also gets their own profile page for listing any background information and to showcase some of their other works. BustedTees and Defunker are two very different Net T-shirt services from the same company. Bustedtees is more about humor, while Defunker offers more designer solutions akin to Threadless. Both sites are really slick, but between the two, Defunker feels a bit snappier. There's also a pretty large price gap, with most Bustedtees topping out at around $16, and Defunker averaging in the high-$20s and mid-$30s. T-ShirtHell. There's a reason this site has a warning page and a hellish name. These shirts are the kind that will get you stares in public, and usually not for a good reason. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or workplace. The Cotton Factory doesn't actually make cotton, but they have a very solid selection of designer, and humor T-shirts. There's even a section of T-shirts less than 10 bucks. There's some real gems in this place, especially if you like "ninja" apparel.

I have two VPNs setup on my Ubuntu machine, one using vpnc and one using PPTP. These were both setup using the GNOME network manager interfaces and work great. However on occasion I need to access this machine remotely - is there a way to connect or disconnect to these VPNs from the command line?
If you want to interact with NetworkManager from the command line you can use the "nmcli" command. list all NM connections: start connection (wifi, vpn, etc): down connection: (more nmcli commands in the nmcli manpage). Also note that regular users usually don't have permission to control networking. Using the commands above with If that happens to you, it's likely that the VPN password is stored in your user's gnome-keyring, which makes it inaccessible to the root user.
