Dental Practice Billing and Coding Conferences
Boost Your Dental Practice's Bottom Line With Expert Audio Conferences
As a dentist, do you find that you have to spend valuable practice time monitoring the business end of your practice? As a business office staff member, are you frustrated because you haven't had the training to effectively manage your business office systems? And, as a clinical staff member, do you feel a disconnect with the business office? If your answer is "yes" to any of this, then our dental practice audio conferences can help.
Having expert advice about the hottest dental practice topics like these means you can boost your coding accuracy, decrease denials, and safeguard your payments. That's why you should keep yourself current with dental audio conferences.
You'll find such conference topics as:
- Dental Appliances For Sleep Apnea Coded Rightly: Understand how you can work with the patients' physicians to help establish the medical necessity of this treatment, and to provide letters of medical necessity for the medical carrier.
- Implementing Dental-Medical Cross Coding: Due to the paradigm shift in dentistry where it is becoming the field of dental medicine, dental practices are now in the position to help their patients obtain additional benefits from their medical insurance plans for medically necessary dental procedures.
- Dental OSHA: Complying with OSHA is more important than ever today because you no longer have to have a complaint filed against you to get an audit. Random audits are becoming more and more frequent.
- And more!
Bottom line: You don't have time to weed through the never-ending onslaught of information about dental practice coding and coverage, so let us do it for you.

EAST PEORIA, Ill. -- Governor Pat Quinn was in East Peoria Thursday morning touting the benefits of diversity when it comes to the state's economy.
Quinn attended the Illinois Black Chamber of Commerce's annual conference at the Par-a-Dice Hotel.
The governor cited the upcoming 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' speech.
The governor said Dr. King's legacy of promoting social equality remains relevant today and that includes economic development opportunities for all people.
"It is so important to have strong men and women all across our state making sure that African Americans get their fair share of contracts, get their fair share of opportunity in our state," said Quinn.
The governor also announced the formation of the Illinois Small Business and Workforce Development Task Force to focus on issues of critical importance to minority owned businesses.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Tens of thousands of valley residents came together on Sunday in an effort to fight the sometimes deadly and all too often devastating disease.
The 20th Annual Race for the Cure took place in Phoenix.
While the need is up, nearly 5,000 thousand women in Arizona will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, it seems donations are down.
"When I was 40, I went to get a mammogram. Everything came out okay and everything was fine, but six weeks later I felt a lump myself," said Tina Justice, a breast cancer survivor.
Tina Justice spent the past year receiving treatment for breast cancer.
Every step she took Sunday morning was a celebration of her recovery.
"It was shocking, it's the worst thing that has ever happened to me and my family," said Tina Justice. "I had to go through chemo and radiation but I'm here today."
Survivors Denise Bodevin and Renee Ruef also were among the 4,470 women diagnosed with the disease in Arizona this year.
"I wouldn't have survived if they wouldn't have found it, because they found it in time," said Bodevin.
"It was just a year ago I got diagnosed just with a random mammogram," said Ruef.
About 21,500 people walked for a cure and nearly 1.6 million was raised, but event organizers said there was officially a 25 percent decrease in participation this year over last.
"I think the controversy took affect," said Heather Roberts, with Race for the Cure.
Roberts is the race and special events director and said the controversy surrounding Planned Parenthood may have played a part in the lower attendance.
Earlier this year, the organization pulled funding from Planned Parenthood but quickly reversed the decision.
The move made national headlines for quite some time.
"We want to make sure people get the right message about Komen, that we are local, that we are here to help women," said Roberts. "We fund breast health programs."
"Women need to get their tests done and I mean no matter what," said Tina Justice.
75 percent of the money raised here stays here to treat patients like Tina Justice.
Her husband's tattoo is a telltale sign that they don't care about the politics, only the cure.
"Pretty awesome, it's something I knew we would get here but it still feels great," said Roger Justice.
Donations will be accepted through Oct. 31.
Organizers said concerns about the economy may have also played a factor in the decreased donations.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene


text: buddyolesen 5pts I am a 60 year old male and I was a long term subscriber to Motor Trend magazine for over 30 years. I read that magazine back in late 60's and early 70's, as a High School student. I will not subscribe to nor will I even read their magazine today. You see, they have always had a G.M. bias, and I mean always. Even in the 60's they always were red hot on just about everything G.M. brought to market.Today, and for the past 25 years their bias has been directed to automobiles made in Asian countries. In the 60's and 70's they were all about European cars. In those days Asian cars weren't so plentiful on the streets and highways of America.When it came to American made automobiles, G.M. was almost always their top choice. It was pretty much a toss up between Ford and Chrysler. American Motors always finished dead last.Nothing ever changes with these people. I would have told you, even before I read this BS article, these Morons would pick that Butt Ugly, Cartoonish looking ZL1 Camaro over the Shelby GT500 Mustang.Now for the truth, I am the "very proud" owner of a 2014 Shelby Gt500. I have driven both of these car, and I will tell you these guys couldn't be more off base about their comparison. First, the Shelby is a much more eye pleasing vehicle than the Camaro. Track times are virtually identical between both cars. Acceleration is not even something intelligent people can talk about. The Shelby blows the ZL1 away, period. The Automotive Press complains about the Shelby's straight rear axle yet it pulls over 1g. on the skid pad as does the ZL1, even though the Chevy has the Independent Rear Suspension. Shelby weighs several hundred LBS. less than the ZL1. My Shelby GT500 has a very pleasant ride, firm but just you would expect from a Ultra High Performance Sports Coupe. The Recaro seats are as good as it gets. This crap about riding on it instead of riding in it is just nonsense. The visibility in the Mustang is vastly superior to that of the Camaro, from every angle of sight. The instrument layout and panel are also superior on the Shelby.I will admit, the brakes on the Camaro are more fade resistant than the brakes on the Shelby during robust road course driving. The problem is easily overcome with the addition of aftermarket brake vents, slotted and dimpled rotors. I have also replaced the stock brake lines on mine with braided stainless steel brake lines, and DOT4 high temp brake fluid.The one last thing I'd mention is that Carroll Shelby placed his input and seal of approval on these 2013-14 Ford, SVT, Super-cars. Chevy, G.M. can't ever match that, ever!!!Just the truth, by a motoring maniac for 45 years!!!Bud Olesen

College degrees becoming the norm, not the exception
Originally published: Jan 28, 2013 - 2:24 pm
It's now a fact: A college degree has become normal.
So normal that 25 percent of retail employees have one. So do 17 percent of bartenders, 15 percent of taxi drivers and 14 percent of waiters. Go back to 1970 and only 1 percent of taxi drivers had a bachelor's gegree. These numbers come from the Center for College Affordability in its report called, "Why are College Graduates Underemployed?"
Their basic finding: there are too many Americans with college degrees. As of 2010, there were almost 42 million Americans in the work force with a bachelor's degree. That sounds like a great achievement, but there were less than 29 million jobs that actually required a college degree.
And of course, the gap keeps widening as nearly 70 percent of high school graduates enroll in college. By 2020, 31 percent of Americans will have a bachelor's degree, but only 14 percent of jobs will require one. That's not to say there will be no job growth in the United States. There will be plenty, but most of the growth will come from industries that don't require four-year degrees.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicted the top 30 areas of growth until 2020. On their list, four will require a bachelor's degree or higher education levels. Those four: college professors (which implies the expansion of college as an industry), secondary teachers, doctors and accountants. The rest of the jobs will either require an associate's degree, a high school diploma or nothing at all.
Now is the time to ask this question: is a college education still worth it? For some it absolutely will be, for others it won't be. Just because more people are graduating from college doesn't mean there will be enough jobs to support all those degrees. Jobs are only created by economic activity. More graduates mean more competition, which in turn usually suppresses wages because there is a plethora of applicants. That's not good news for anyone.
Right now, colleges and universities control the narrative. They say high school graduates must attend college. They will live a better life if they do. Politicians say the same thing. So do corporations. But are they doing us a disservice?
Right now, yes.
The current trends show the problems of underemployment getting worse. We owe it to our kids to be honest with them about it. Four-year degrees should be harder to get. The competition should start at the admissions process. There should be fewer of them. Four-year degrees should only be offered in fields that require them.
I don't have all the answers, but I can read between the lines and the line we are on may very get us lost deep in the woods with no easy way out.

Executive Director Tim Lawrence has known SkillsUSA as a student member, instructor, industry partner and state director. Got a question? He can help.
Q: As our national leader, why do you think SkillsUSA is successful?
Tim: We have a phenomenal organization because of the leadership demonstrated by our devoted founders, dedicated business partners, enthusiastic state directors and dynamic local advisors. All have stepped forward as leaders to build SkillsUSA to a position of respect. But our real leaders are the students, who have a voice in everything from running their local chapter elections and program of work to annually electing our national officers.
The leadership process is all around us. Right now our nations democratic process is actively at work, as presidential candidates present their views and try to rally support. Im sure youre thinking about who the next president will be. Whatever your views, the real appeal of the process is our right to voice our opinions and help elect our leaders.
SkillsUSA has a similar process to involve any member who chooses to seek a leadership position or to support others in the endeavor. Whether you want to step up as an officer or as a project chair-man, theres a leadership role waiting to be filled. If youre not sure how to take your leadership skills to the next level, ask your chapter advisor for some suggestions.
Traveling across the United States recently, Ive seen many students preparing for their local and state SkillsUSA competitions. Ive also met many district and state SkillsUSA student officers and officer candidates. They made a decision to pursue leadership positions and move forward in their personal development.
If youre looking for the ultimate challenge, consider the highest level of leadership we offer in SkillsUSA. Right now, were seeking qualified candidates for national office. Student delegates will be electing 15 ambassadors to represent SkillsUSA in travels across the nation next year. Running for national office is the experience of a lifetime win or lose. The candidate process will provide the opportunity to network with your peers from across America and with national industry and education leaders. The guidelines are posted on our national website. I urge you to take a look and decide if youre ready for an awesome experience.
Whatever role you serve, SkillsUSA has always primarily been about one thing: giving each individual a positive leadership experience. Being active in leadership development means being a Champion for your future.

Once the kids have left the house, mom and dad might find themselves with a wealth of time on their hands. Many couples, known as "empty nesters" use this opportunity as a chance to travel. One spot that empty nesters might want to look at in terms of rest and relaxation is the northern European country of Estonia.
There's a ton to do in Estonia, but one of the things that will certainly appeal to couples is the vast number of spas in the country. Travelers looking for spas can find them in Tallinn, Parnu, Haapsalu and Kuressaare.
But one of the best spots is Varska. This town, known for its mineral water and natural mud, features some of the best spas in the country.
Another idea is to partake in adventure travel. Estonia has plenty of hiking trails, opportunities for water sports, biking and much more. Nothing beats a leisurely hike followed by resting up in the sauna or working out muscles with a massage.
Travelers should be sure to ask for an Estonian specialty - a hot chocolate massage. This therapy takes a traditional mud wrap and replaces it with warm chocolate.

Imagine getting the equivilent of more than 2,300 miles per gallon in your car! Students at Purdue University have designed and built a vehicle with that capability.
Celeritas, the newest urban concept solar car, has solar cells on top that capture the sun's energy, which is converted into voltage that can be stored by batteries to power the motor.
If the car were to go on the market now, it would cost about $100,000... but at least you could wave as you passed all the people paying almost $4 a gallon for gasoline.

Behind another strong effort from the running game, San Diego State emerged victorious over Hawaii, winning 28-21 in overtime. The Aztecs managed 234 yards on the ground, including 163 from star back Adam Muema, who also notched the game-winning score in the first overtime. San Diego State is now 6-4 (5-1 in the MWC), while the Rainbow Warriors drop to 0-10 (0-7 in the MWC).
Despite a slow start -- down 14-7 at the half -- SDSU was able to overcome turnovers in the second half to record the win. The team lost four fumbles on the game, and punted on six different drives in the first half. Three Aztec players rushed for touchdowns -- Muema, Donnel Pumphrey and Chad Young -- while QB Quinn Kaehler also threw for a score to Colin Lockett. While Kaehler certainly wasn't the star of the show, he was an effective 17-of-34 passing, for 265 yards.
On the Hawaii side, it was another crushing loss in a season full of them. Hanging tough in the fourth, the Rainbow Warriors were up 21-14 before Young's touchdown with over two minutes to go tied the game. Though they controlled time of possession (over 31 minutes) and were effective on third down (8-of-19), six of Hawaii's final seven drives ended with either a punt or a turnover on downs. For the game, quarterback Stan Schroeder was 18-of-36 for 194 yards, two touchdowns and one pick. The rushing attack was led by Joey Iosefa, who ran 37 times for 150 yards and a touchdown.
San Diego State's tough victory gives them six on the season, and they still hold an outside shot of stealing the West Division title from Fresno State. The Bulldogs would need to lose both of their remaining games, while SDSU would need to win both of theirs. Fresno has the tiebreaker between the two teams after a tight 35-28 overtime win several weeks back.
The fact that the Aztecs are even in this position is a bit astounding, considering how rough of a start they had to the season. At 0-3, it appeared they were a team going nowhere, especially given the stunning opening loss to Eastern Illinois. But since then, they've won six of seven, with the only blemish being the aforementioned game against Fresno State. This is the Aztec's fourth consecutive season of bowl eligibility -- a first for the program.
While Hawaii's not going bowling, they still have plenty to play for. The Rainbow Warriors have not gone winless in a season since 1998, and should they do so this year, it would only be the second time that's happened in program history. They wrap up the 2013 season at Wyoming (4-6) and host Army (3-7) two days after Thanksgiving; both presenting plenty of opportunity to finally put a W on the board.

4.45/5 rDev +0.7%
A huge amount of gratitude is owed to BA sendsilk for hooking me up with a seemingly endless supply of amazing CCB brews. Poured from a 750ml into a matching Cigar City snifter. The brew appears a solid black color with a dark brown finger of froth across the top. The cap fades leaving some spots of lace sticking to the glass and the head holds around the perimeter of the glass. A light swirl revives a seriously dark brown cap back to the surface that fades leaving a thin film across the top. When held to the light and swirled, hardly any light shines through but what does reveals some dark brown hints around the edges.
The aroma is heavily roasted and almost char and tobacco-like. There is an immediately noticeable amount of fruity cognac quality that comes into play accenting the boozy quality of this. The dark roasted aspects of the aromatics brings out thoughts of coffee and bitter baker's chocolate with almost a hint of earthy leather. As I smell this brew more, a bit of vanilla quality and raw oak emerges. This is a deeply complex and enjoyable smelling brew.
The flavor of this brew is very roasted with a bitterness that is reminiscent of 100% cacao. There are some softer almost milk chocolate notes present that then blend into a fruity booze flavor of cognac. Some roasty earth, leather, tobacco and oak are also there mid palate. This is a very atypical sweet stout in that it is very deceiving in the way the flavors meld together and go between bitter roast, semi-sweet and boozy. The sweet side of this brew really isnt upfront at all, it is actually more bitter upfront and blends into a mild sweetness across the back and into the finsh.
This is a medium to fuller bodied brew with a moderate amount of carbonation. This is a beast of a sweet stout. If you go into this experience expecting a sticky sweet stout, you might be let down as it is quite boozy and bitter. This brew is very reminiscent of the trademark stouts that Cigar City is known for. At times I seemingly forget myself and get reminded of Zhukov with its dark roasty leathery and almost ashy qualities. But the booze reminds me of something more like Hunahpu but without the spices. Dare I say CCB has hit one hell of a homerun with this brew.

4.31/5 rDev -2.5%
Thanks to Mike for sharing this one with me, never thought I'd get the chance to try it. Pours out super dark and thick, like old, sludgy motor oil. A dark-ass, burnt tan head forms on top and quickly dissipates before you even have time to appreciated it - it can be brought back to life nicely with a little swirl, however. The beer sloshes quite a bit, too - this is some viscous stuff.
The aroma on this beer is THICK. Big bouts of oak soaked in vanilla and booze. Very creamy and milky smelling, quite sweet but not explosively so. Cocoa, brandy, and slight licorice-like sweetness join the mix. This baby gets more and more complex as the time goes on, but it always retains its solid structure of booze, oak, and sweetness. Malts are obvious present, too, but not quite a roasty as you might think. Coffee aromas start to grow upon warming up - this stuff is all over the place. So many smells just floating in and out, it's almost too hard to get a handle on everything.
A nice, bitter and roasted cocoa bean flavor engulfs the palate upon taking the first sip. It's soon joined by an intense sweetness that crescendos a bit before peaking halfway through and sticking around until the end - little notes of black licorice, currants, dates, figs, burnt brown sugar, and milky caramel & chocolate. Beyond all of these flavors lies that cognac, which added a flavor similar to that of a brandy; definitely a bit different than the typical bourbon flavor. The cognac added a bit of heat but wasn't too powerful as the sweetness from the beer kept it in check.
Oak flavors are surprisingly absent or at least muted substantially. Espresso beans show their face heavily in the aftertaste, along with some fading, milky sweetness and mellow brandy. There's also a few charred notes that I really didn't pick up on until the beer warmed up. Not sure if these are from the malts or possibly from the hops? But aside from that, hops didn't contribute much flavor-wise. Very creamy and thick body, chewy, low carbonation.
Wow, this beer was some serious shit. Very complex, layered, and overall very different. My gripe is that it may be overly sweet, and any sample of this over 8 oz could be walking the line between delectably sweet and cloying. Other than that, the beer was excellent, with a very nice mouth feel and an intense flavor and aroma profile. Thanks again to Mike for hooking it up!

Bottle share at Proof courtesy of scotchzi. Deep opaque black with dark chocolatey head, which held decently. The thickness of this beer makes it have great legs on the glass. Not much lacing though. Heavy dark chocolate arom with some good coffee notes and a great earthy wood with a touch of boozey notes as well. Taste is of very rich malt with a warm booze (cognac?) presence being noticable. I get more coffee on the tongue than in the nose. Slightly silty mouthfeel, very thick body. Yummy!

Cigar City Imperial Sweet Stout ale aged in Cognac barrels
Drove 9 hours to buy 6 bottles. Poured into my Duvel Tulip.
A: Poured a decent head but dissipated quick. Black as night, motor oil black.
S: Caramel, Cognac, whisky. Wow.
T: Chocolate coats the mouth and some minor cognac notes round out. Overall very sweet but wow pretty amazing.
M: Sweet chocolate and caramel becomes a nice cognac taste with whisky notes and more caramel notes.
O: Wow!!! Ya this was worth the drive. It can stand up to most stouts and while it isn't BCBCS, its pretty damn close.

750 ml bottle.
A: Pours completely black with about 1 inch of mocha-colored head. It receded immediately though. Looks very thick as I poured it.
S: Lots of fruity sweetness, chocolate and dark malts. It has almost a slight "wine" scent.
T: Dark chocolate bitterness balances with fruity sweetness. Oak, chocolate, vanilla. A warm boozy in the finish. Very well balanced though, booze is well hidden.
M: Extremely thick and viscous. Full bodied with low carbonation. Very smooth.
O: Excellent beer, can't wait for CCB to make more.

Bottle (2012)
Thanks for opening this with me, VaTechHopHead!
Black throughout, thick in body, with the darkest of brown edges, and a very small dark brown head, though with good retention. Leaves the glass oily and spotted with stick.
A complex, enveloping, interesting, evolving aroma: chocolate cake, fudge, caramel, and dark fruits abound in the aroma. There's a sticky fudge element to the chocolate character that is really lovely, along with rich caramels and burnt, dessert dark fruits. Lovely.
The flavor is similarly good as the aroma, with layers of charred chocolates, dark fruits, cognac, distinct wood presence, and fudge combining incredibly nicely. There's some distinct alcohol warmth to it, but it's very complementary. Treating this like a lovely dessert at the end of the night is the way to go.
Medium to nearly full in body with low-moderate carbonation.
An incredible ,sweet, cognac-barrel aged chocolate-forward stout.

Bottle shared at NWI tasting group.
A - Dark chocolate stout with dark chocolate foam on top and the slides 3.75
S - Good chocolate presence with lots of caramely cognac barrel to it. There is also slight dates at well
T - Caramely chocolate beer with good cognac presence that gives it a nice sweetness. Lots of fudge presence with a slight booziness to it and oak to it.
M - Medium body with light oak presence to it. Low carbonation with velvety smoothness
O - Another great cognac BA beer from Cigar City. I love how well they are using these barrels. They created a beer that benefits well from the sweetness from the cognac.

750 mL bottle poured into a snifter. Reviewed from notes.
Appearance - Inky, glass-staining black body. Standard fare from Cigar City stouts. Mocha head. A thin collar remains.
Smell - I love cognac barrels. Rich oak and vanilla notes. Cognac. Dark chocolate and coffee come through from the malts.
Taste - Very sweet, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. The cognac is less prominent here, but the vanilla persists. Lots of coffee and dark, fudgy chocolate. And then the lactose hits. Argh.
Mouthfeel - The lactose is intense. Thickens the beer. The cognac balances out the sweetness pretty well.
Overall - I love everything about this except the lactose, which I notoriously dislike.

ADA (Anti-Democratic Action)
Of all the problems we as thinking beings face, the hardest to recognize are the biggest and most obvious because our brains dismiss them in advance as background noise. In the case of modern society, the elephant in the room is our propensity for choosing ideas by their popularity with individuals and not their fitness for the task as a whole. This elephant manifests itself as democracy, consumerism, trends and social cliques. The ADA intends to identify and then smash this unrecognized, glaring problem.
The most visible edge to the mental error of modern times is democracy, and the ADA takes its name from targetting this sacred cow first. While we expected to be vilified, slandered and harassed for this stance, after long thought we have recognized it is the only possible fix for the problems of our civilization. All other suggested "solutions" are symptomatic treatment, which has a 100% failure rate insofar as it never changes the destiny of the patient in question.
We the people (who think) recognize that democracy has four major failings:
1) By the nature of trying to find one solution that represents everyone, democracy cannot accept any complete plan and thus offend some of its members, but must work out a "compromise" that preserves the appearance of change but, by adulterating and hybridizing details of any proposed plan, make it a muddle that defaults to the status quo.
2) Intelligence and nobility of character are rare; most people lack these traits in the degree needed to make decisions for a nation, and democracy cancels out the votes of the intelligent (the minority) with mass opinion.
3) Democracy encourages egomania by encouraging people to vote according to what brings them personal gain, ignoring the question of the best plan for all (usually beyond their comprehension). This egomania creates a passive citizen that acts only through the voting booth, and rejects all civic action outside of it, while expected government once elected to solve all social problems through more government.
4) To motivate sluggish masses to pick one choice over another, democratic leaders must oversimplify topics and create theatrical opposites. Proposals must be streamlined to the most simplistic four-second sentence available, and foreign nations must be turned into demons (Hitler, Khan, Satan) in order to kick-start democratic nations to war before it is thrust upon them with attendant higher casualties and longer struggle.
In preference to democracy, the ADA desires:
1) Local government. All people governed and their leaders should have daily contact and be dependent on the same local economy. Larger alliances can be made for continental military defense, road-building, and environmental cleanup.
2) A wise leadership caste. All those who are not only smart, but healthy/beautiful and capable of noble judgment should form this hereditary group. From these leaders are picked, and the rest of these counterbalance any single leader. Those who inherit caste but lack skills are excluded.
Our methods:
1) Convince our people that bad leaders are not the problem, but bad methods used to select them. Even with good people, democracy is a failure. And most people fall short of even that criterion.
2) Illustrate that our "freedom" includes no option for changing the nature of our system to something other than democracy/consumerism. Even to elect Communists is to still have a government based on motivating people through money, and measuring them through money.
3) Educate people in the global and complete history of democracy and its failures, including the ancient Greeks and prior societies. Point out that in every instance, democracy has failed and converted healthy empires into secret oligarchies of power manipulating clueless and greedy masses.
4) Nominate people for a leadership caste, educate them for that role, and paradoxically, get them elected for local government positions.
And when these are achieved --
5) Sue our parent nation-states for the right of secession on the grounds that our preferred political systems have irreconciliable differences.
Ours is not a movement inclined to violence. However, we realize that we must exclude from our communities those who will work against our type of society, and there will be plenty. If they do not go willingly, we will use legal process, passive restraints and nonlethal combat technologies to relocate them. We also recognize that democracies, being a facade of "progressive" ideas hiding a deep inner selfishness, are hypocritical and will therefore act against us with both law and violence.
Seeing that democracy is a disaster is impossible for most people. They do not think on the scope of what happens beyond their lifetime to areas larger than a local community. Democracy gives them an easy, lazy, pampered life where they feel they have enough control to restrain more competent people from compelling them to live less uselessly. This collective blindness is further proof that democracy is a failure: government "by the people" does not consider the question of what is right for all of us and the environment, but is well-tuned to individual selfishness and egomania.
Finding the right answer for a whole system - people, earth and culture - is difficult. Democracy sidesteps that question and functions by selecting the most popular option, promoting alongside it a social order of the same. If many (but not necessarily most) people like something, it must be good, regardless of its consequences. Suppose a product is garbage, a leader is criminal-minded, or a social group psychotic? As long as the product, person or group is popular, these questions are never raised. Popularity justifies any behavior, and for this reason no social or moral standards withstand the assault of democracy.
Popularity (democracy, consumerism, trends) defines our social values by the appearance of things. But beautiful actors often have rotted souls, and "equal" people cannot often do the same task; our constant rhetoric and emotional distraction of talking about "freedom" is a mask to protect what is popular: acting for oneself, and ignoring the consequences for all. Democracy is greed motivated by personal instability and underconfidence, and the ADA, who lack such problems, are determined to reverse it.

Boarding was as expected...some lines but not much of a wait. Disembarking was less smooth as the process for going through customs/immigration led to some waiting in lines. The RC process was well organized.
Food in the dining room was rather good considering the thousands of meals that have to be prepared and served. One complaint was that meals were usually not warm enough by the time they arrived at the table, but the selection was very good and the portions ample.
Our waiter, Made, and his assistant, Madel, were OUTSTANDING! They took excellent care of the special requests for our six year old grandson and always went beyond the call of duty. And Made entertained all our grandsons with his puzzles and tricks.
Dinner in the Chops Grill was excellent once the A/C was turned up to remove the arctic chill from the room.
The venues for children are fabulous and we can't say enough about the wonderful care provided in the Explorer program. Teen activities were fun and there was a sense of security on board so there was never a worry about their safety.And their parents had plenty of fun as well.
The cruise director, Graham, was indefatigable.....where does he get that energy? His adult comedy show had us holding our sides with laughter.
Overall, we found the staff on Freedom to be friendly, courteous and helpful, no matter where we were. I would heartily recommend this cruise to families with children.

Last month, Apple announced that it had paid $7 billion to developers for their apps. So in a little over one month, Apple paid out an additional $1 billion.
That's likely because of all the people who received iPads or iPhones during the holiday season and started filling up their devices with a ton of apps.

Get the details behind our redesign
metal urn, often of brass, with a spigot near its base, widely used in Russia to boil water for tea. In traditional samovars water is heated by means of a vertical tube, containing burning charcoal, running up the middle of the urn. A filled teapot is set atop the chimney to steep. A lighter brew can be obtained by adding more water to the teacup from the spigot. Traditionally, a samovar was used for all household needs that required hot water, and almost all families possessed one.

This was the third time that we had sailed on the ship, the previous two cruises were when the ship was in the Cunard fleet and was known as the Cunard Dynasty.
Fred Olsen had made several changes to the ship. First of all a few years ago, they cut the ship in two and extended it creating more cabins, deck space and introducing a new restaurant. The passenger capacity increased from 800 to around 1000 berths and is a perfect ship to cruise on.
Our check-in was pretty speedy compared to the last cruise with Princess at Southampton, where we had to queue up outside the building and were nearly 3 hours going through the check-in procedure! So this was nice, straight in with a seat to wait to be called through and pretty quick desk check-in.
Our last few cruises have been on the mega ships with more than 3000 passengers and we straight away settled into our comfortable floating home. Its an easy ship to get around and best of all there are no queues.
We were fortunate to be allocated the Grampian restaurant and I would encourage you to choose or request this at the time of booking. As we booked late we could only get 2nd sitting, but we were rewarded with a table that gave us the most fantastic sea views through a huge round window (like a giant port hole approximately 8 feet in circumference). The highlight one evening was watching a school of dolphins swim and play just off the port side as we sailed between the Outer and Inner Hebrides and this was accompanied by a family of swallows, with their new born, just flying by the window and landing on the deck.
In terms of food served we were generally satisfied apart from the Rock and Roll themed Menu which was generally pretty poor. Burgers served in the restaurant and the sort of stuff you would expect on a TGI Friday menu - but worse! Otherwise the meals and menu choice was pretty good and considering the price we paid for the cruise - it was exceptional value. Others with far reaching expectations probably would not be satisfied and we did hear crumbles.
My only negative about the restaurant were:
Breakfast - many passengers would come up from the main restaurant and so we had to queue and could not use our own table. The maitre d walked through the restaurant and was not really hands on to problems. The waiters served tea/coffee as the desert was delivered and therefore it was cold and the tea/coffee was served from pots that unless they were fresh, were generally only lukewarm. There was just so much wastage. We ended up asking for fresh hot boiling water and adding a tea bag - which really was the only way to get a decent cup of tea that was hot and even then the waiters would fetch or use a lukewarm pot, so you had to continually ask for 'Hot Boiling Water', which the waiters were generally reluctant to go to galley for.
My mother had cause to complain about an Indian waiter (we won't say his name).
On several occasions he was seen picking his nose in full view of everyone in the restaurant and we raised this with the maitre d who promised to take action. Needless to say the waiter carried on and failed to wash/clean his hands and serve food! Fred Olsen seemed to take precautions in providing anti bacteria hand cleaners at the restaurant entrances. This was not supervised and as well as waiters, other passengers would nonchalantly just walk past them. Its no wonder norovirus spreads and its these folks who probably carry the infections.
We visited the main restaurant on one occassion and were so glad we were not allocated to dine in there. The dining room is crammed tight and Lunch is self service and is just like a bun fight!
The sun deck was vastly improved, with two swimming pools and two hot tubs. The swimming pools were heated, but the water was dirty. We came out with rashes.
The pool water was only changed once in 9 days.
We enjoyed the sailway parties from Dublin and Belfast under clear blue skies.
Dancing to a live band at the rear of the ship. If you want a seat, you need to get there around 45 minutes - 30 at the latest. We have to knock the pushiness of the waiting staff at the sailaway party! They were obviously under orders. as soon as you appeared it was like being greeted by timeshare touts and if we said no twice we said it over twenty times! This ruined the ambiance of the sailaway. Yes we do like a drink, but to be in your face every 30 seconds is well over the top and Fred Olsen should review the clients experience at a sailaway. It ruined it for us.
On a more positive note, I liked some of the change on board the ship that Fred Olsen have made. The Observation lounge/bar, just under the bridge. This was previously a gymnasium. It was nice for a pre or after dinner drink.
Entertainment on board was limited and the dance group performed pretty much repetitive boring routines that are very dated. That aside, the singers and the bands were pretty good with entertaining shows. The highlight was the crew show and some very talented individuals,e specially the waiter who performed a comic sketch as a ventriloquist! So why waste a budget when you have the talent in house! This is how the good old days of cruising use to operate with talented crew performing and keeping the passengers entertained!
Now for the real moan of the cruise. The port lecture was the worst we have ever been to. Despite the lounge being full, the presenter was so full of himself and what he had done and where he had been. He did not know the times the ship was in port - saying he would have to check and his port information was pathetic. You may as well picked up a map and studied it yourself. His voice was so boring he sent half the audience to sleep and many just got up and walked out. He would point out landmarks in the town and was quoted saying, I think that has moved!
He pushed the ships tours and quoted for Belfast if you want to visit the Titanic Exhibition then unless you book the ships tour you probably wont get in! We took the complimentary shuttle bus to town and got a lift to the museum. We walked straight in and purchased tickets for the next tour! Three of us got in for £38 which was not even the cost of one on their sightseeing tour!
Needless to say we did not book any ships tours as we found the presenter awful and uninspiring and full of useless information which he provided to fill his port lecture. Worst of all though, was the presentation was on a loop on the in cabin TV entertainment system. Fred Olsen need to closely look at this sector as it is affecting their on-board revenues and income potential and almost everyone we cam across on the cruise was of the same opinion.
Our ports of call sailing from Dover was Dublin, with an overnight stop.
There was a shuttle bus operating, but you had to pay Fred Olsen.
Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands
Invergordon in Scotland.
The cruise also provided 4 days cruising at sea.
For some reason Fred Olsen cancelled Holyhead. To us they missed out on probably one of the best ports of calls in a Round Britain Cruise. Whilst there is not much at Holyhead, the tour options are fantastic with fantastic scenery of the Snowdonia National Park mixed in with the historic Welsh Culture and their UNESCO world heritage Castles, which you can visit at Conwy, Caernarfon and Beaumaris on a day ashore.
We had booked a private tour with Boutique Tours of North Wales and had to consequently cancel. Boutique Tours were pretty informative with their information and options. We had used them before on a previous cruise last year when we called at Liverpool. We were fortunate to come across him as a friend recommended him when they cruised into Liverpool. They have a lovely Mercedes Viano, which is a nice spacious and comfortable vehicle. One bit of advice, they only have the one vehicle and you have to book early to take advantage of their services.
Although the itinerary was not a great one, the mixture of cruise days at sea and ports was well balanced. Our only real negative was Fred Olsen had cancelled the port of call to Holyhead in North Wales before the cruise operated and there was no reason provided. So despite not visiting Holyhead, the weather on our cruise was outstanding and we had sea conditions that resembled cruising the Greek Aegean Seas - beautiful blue calm waters with a smooth ripple and wake from our ship cruising at a very relaxed rate of knots.
To finish with, we have to say that value for money this was a really enjoyable cruise and just let down on the few areas that we have highlighted. We found that the majority of passengers had booked via a heavily discounted late offer from just £299 and many of the dining experiences we encountered, guests were asking what you paid and this became a very sensitive subject and one or two became annoyed as the conversations progressed with people gloating over what they paid and taking pleasure out of upsetting other folk. We just did not enter the conversation as we said it was a present from our mother who was travelling with us and we said it would be rude to ask her what she paid!

I sent a sis file for Express Signed, it was signed successfully but cannot be installed. I get a "Certificate Error".
I suspect it has something to do with the New Smart Installer that Nokia introduced. I submitted the application_installer sis file for signing. The application sis file is "wrap" inside the smart installer and it seems that the signing is not done properly.
I have emailed firstname.lastname@example.com but it seems that they are not able to resolve this issue themselves.
Very disappointed. Hope someone can shed some light.

He's a big athlete at 6-4, 235 pounds. He runs a 4.47 40, benches 355 pounds and squats 500. Alex Elkins is a great signing for Oklahoma State with a lot of potential.
But there's one catch: He never played high school football.

Kuopio's best news source, Savon Sanomat carried news that KalPa Hockey, until now home to Teemu Hartikainen, finished the year with a 507,883 euro profit. Owner, President and CEO Sami Kapanen must be a very happy man, considering that in the two years prior to his purchase of the team, KalPa lost 778,497 euros. Google Translator said that he was so overjoyed that: "...swears meat for years, despite a strict cost discipline name." With Kapanen's retirement and Hartikainen's defection to Oklahoma CIty, KalPa has a goal-scoring void to fill in 2010-2011.
The Oilers have taken a Finn in the later rounds each of the last two seasons. If they do it again, they might just pick Iiro Pakarinen. Suomi!
Teemu Hartikainen is one step closer to coming to North America.
Oilers' prospect Teemu Hartikainen's playoffs are done. A review of his game in the two series.
During a game five loss to HPK, Teemu Hartikainen picked up his second misconduct of the playoffs and then tore into the refereeing in his post-game interview. This should immediately win Bruce over as a fan. The linked video shows the feistier side of Hartikainen, which should win over a number of Edmonton fans. KalPa is now down 3-2 to HPK with game six in Hämeenlinna.
He's been quite possibly the best player in these playoffs. Hartikainen has been hitting hard, getting powerplays, and just dominating through whole series. Teemu wants to win at all costs and it shows on the ice. Very inspiring stuff!Copper & Blue member Waker, who is from Finland, on Teemu Hartikainen in the SM-Liiga playoffs.
KalPa is struggling to put away Tappara, but not because of Teemu Hartikainen. The Oilers' prospect is having his way with Tappara and dragging KalPa into the second round on his own.
Teemu Hartikainen scored another goal and registered 10! shots on goal as KalPa defeated Tappara 3-2 in overtime. KalPa has a 2-1 series lead. Hartikainen now has a goal in all three games in the series.
The SM-Liiga playoffs are underway and Teemu Hartikainen is lighting the lamp.
Oilers prospect Teemu Hartikainen completed his second year in the SM-Liiga. His scoring rates look like a player very familiar to Edmonton fans.

DOVER, Del. - A man was arrested after allegedly raping a child. Dover Police investigated a complaint of a child rape that happened about a year ago at a home on S. Little Creek in Dover East Mobile Home Park.
Police say that 42-year-old Frank Smith sexually assaulted a 9-year-old girl, at his home. He was supposedly a neighbor/family friend, of the victim. The investigation showed that Smith forced the girl to have intercourse with him, and then threatened her to not say anything.
Police say that since the attack, Smith had moved to Texas. After Dover Police got arrest warrants for him, City Police in Texas, arrested him without incident. Smith is being held without bail, and is awaiting extradition back to Delaware. He is charged with 1st and 2nd degree rape, and 2nd degree unlawful sexual contact.

The undergraduate program in Asian Studies (Japan concentration) is an interdisciplinary program that provides concentrated Japanese language and area training. The core curriculum is offered through the Jackson School of International Studies and is supplemented by numerous classes on Japan in political science, history, literature, linguistics, art and art history, architecture, and business. The BA degree gives students in-depth knowledge of many facets of Japan and familiarity with Japanese society and culture. The program helps prepare students for careers in business, government, journalism, secondary-school teaching, and other professional fields.
Variety and depth are added to regular coursework by Japan Colloquia and by occasional special symposia, where recent research findings and discussions of significant contemporary topics are presented by specialists from the United States, Japan, and elsewhere. The program strives to offer students the opportunity to study all aspects of Japan - through the number and range of courses offered, the research activities of its faculty members, Japan Colloquia, and in the fact that the most important academic journal in the Japan field, The Journal of Japanese Studies, is published at this University.
The University of Washington has a long-standing commitment to the study of Japan, with Japan-related curricula in many of its departments and professional schools. Similarly active programs focusing on other world regions make the UW a rich environment for study and enable students to gain a comparative international perspective.
Marie Anchordoguy, Chair, Japan Studies
Any undergraduate in good standing may declare Asian Studies (Japan concentration) as a major.
[Conversion table: JSIS course numbers in effect through Sum 2012]
Although only two years of language are required, it is suggested that students take as much as they can because two years of Japanese do not give proficiency. Students who transfer in from other programs should contact the Department of Asian Languages and Literature as soon as possible for information on placement tests. The language requirement is two years of Japanese at the University of Washington or the equivalent; often students studying in less intensive programs find they must take more Japanese here even though they have studied elsewhere.
A minimum grade of 2.0 in all courses counted toward the major is required, except for first- and second-year Japanese language courses, where grades must average at least 2.00. The "paper course" and 30 the 35 credits required for the Japan concentration courses, including JSIS A/HSTAS 423, must be taken in residence at the University of Washington.
Overlapping credits: A maximum of 15 credits that are used to fulfill minimum requirements of any other UW major can be counted in this major.
*A list of courses approved for the Japan concentration is available in the Jackson School Office of Student Services in Thomson 111 and by following this link.
For a list of current quarter course offerings click below.
Current Course Offerings
30 credits, to include the following:
JSIS A/HSTAS 241 or JSIS A 242 (5 credits).
One additional introductory Asian civilization course from JSIS A 207 (premodern Asia), JSIS 203 (modern Asia), JSIS A/HSTAS 212 (Korea), JSIS A/HSTAS 221 (Southeast Asia), HSTAS 201 (India), 202 (India), 211 (China), 5 credits
10 credits of electives taken at the UW, chosen from the Japan history/social science electives list
5 credits of electives taken at the UW, chosen from the Japan history/social science list or the Japan arts/literature electives list
5 additional credits in Japanese language beyond second-year level, or in upper-division transfer courses on Japan, or in additional electives chosen from the Japan history/social science electives list
Minimum grade of 2.0 required in each course applied toward the minor.
The University of Washington's Japan collection is one of the most important of its kind in the nation. The East Asia Library and the Law Library together house over 140,000 volumes of Japanese-language materials. The libraries on campus maintain an up-to-date collection of English- and European-language works in the humanities, social sciences, and art and a good collection of prewar and nineteenth-century books and periodicals.

True Confession: I Loved Having a Newborn
September 10, 2009 at 10:17 am , by Louise Sloan
Here's what I want to know: Are happy new moms just lucky, or are we also a wee bit simpleminded?
These days, it seems like all the cool new parents complain—bitterly and hilariously—about having an infant. In memoirs, essays and blogs, they debunk the cruel myth of that blissful first few months with a cooing, snuggly bundle of joy. That's Hallmark-card hogwash, they say to their relieved readers, who find their honesty refreshing. These writers adore their kids, but let's get real, they write: A newborn means being in a 24/7 state of extreme worry and panic, plus crushing boredom, plus guaranteed post-partum depression and the most searing pain you can imagine when you attempt to breastfeed. Miracle, yes, but also…nightmare!
The latest book I read on this topic was American Parent, a memoir and cultural history by my neighbor Sam Apple. As Sam wrote wittily about the extreme terror and tedium of being a stay-at-home dad with a colicky kid, I laughed out loud. I also recently devoured the beautifully written parenting memoir Waiting for Birdy, by self-described "catastrophizer" and LHJ contributor Catherine Newman, laughing so hard at one point that the other people in my doctor's waiting room started edging away.
I have a shelf full of other great books that smash the oppressive myth of maternal bliss, like Mothers Who Think, Mommies Who Drink, The Bitch in the House and Perfect Madness. Never mind the many excellent blogs—shout-out to my internet buddy Tertia Albertyn, author of the hysterical and heartbreaking infertility memoir So Close, who now writes lovingly but often crankily about her newborn and her 4-year-old twins on her popular blog.
There's one problem. I enjoy this kind of writing. It's funny. But I don't quite relate to it. At the risk of becoming America's Most Hated Mom, I have a confession to make: I actually loved having a newborn.

ODU's Hofmann to Speak Today at CCPO about Her International Ocean Studies
Eileen Hofmann, an Old Dominion University oceanographer who is taking a leadership role in some of today's most important global ocean studies, will speak about physical-biological coupling in marine ecosystems at a Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography (CCPO) seminar today.
The seminar will be at 3:30 p.m. in Room 3200 at CCPO headquarters in Innovation Research Park Building 1 in University Village on the eastern edge of the ODU campus. It is free and open to the public, as is the reception with refreshments that begins at 3 in the lounge outside the meeting room.
Concerns about global warming and climate change have focused attention on ocean studies in the past decade, and Hofmann has been involved in dozens of projects that explore the relationship between physical ocean characteristics-such as currents or water temperature-and marine life.
Hofmann has been involved with the Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) program through her memberships in the United States and international science steering committees and as chair of the Southern Ocean GLOBEC Program. She was recently appointed the next chair of the Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research Program of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program.
Her research interests, in addition to physical-biological interactions, include climate control of diseases of marine shellfish, descriptive physical oceanography and mathematical modeling of marine ecosystems. She is a professor in the ODU Department of Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.

Computed Tomography (CT) is a diagnostic tool that combines X-rays with computer technology to produce images of the body. These images can show the solid organs, bones, vascular system and soft tissues in great detail. New techniques can even alleviate the need for interventional procedures. A CT scan is quick and painless and usually requires 15 minutes to complete.
Our radiologists and staff are highly trained and dedicated to giving the best possible care to our patients. Our Outpatient Imaging Center has remained at the leading edge of CT technology in the area and utilizes the latest imaging techniques to produce quality images to aid referring physicians in planning the medical/surgical treatment of their patients.
The Outpatient Imaging Center uses one of the fastest CT scanner on the market, the Toshiba 64-Slice CT scanner. For patients, this powerful imaging equipment means three-dimensional detail in less than one-third of a second, increasing the potential for faster and less invasive diagnostic procedures.
- Faster, more comfortable scans
- Unparalleled image clarity for a more accurate diagnosis
- 64 scan slices per rotation for better image quality
- The highest possible image quality at the lowest dose
- Same day scheduling

Take time out to sample the sights, scents and sounds of the city's best-loved neighborhoods – historic Avondale and bohemian Five Points. There's an amazing choice of bars and restaurants within minutes of your Jacksonville hotel. Raise a glass or two with the locals to get the lowdown on the neighborhood's finest experiences.
From fresh Florida rock lobster on the Southbank Riverwalk to frosty mugs of locally brewed River City Beer, scratch the surface and you're sure to find there's more to Jacksonville than meets the eye.
