Touch and go
Fox drama puts gifted boy, his father in danger
The numbers don't lie. But the truth they're offering adds up to some pretty dark and dangerous stuff.
Unfortunately for Martin Bohm, a head-on collision with the most perilous of permutations and numerical combinations is inevitable as he seeks to understand what his gifted son, Jake, knows about numbers and patterns while at the same time protecting him from evil entities that seek to exploit the boy's extraordinary knowledge.
Yes, the stakes have been raised as the Fox drama Touch begins its second season, with Martin (Kiefer Sutherland) on the run as various factions of an international corporate conglomerate called Aster Corp. increase their efforts to locate, abduct and perhaps kill Jake (David Mazouz).
As Touch's long-delayed sophomore campaign finally begins, Martin's flight from danger has taken him and Jake all the way across the continental U.S. to California, where at last season's end they encountered Lucy Robbins (Maria Bello), whose daughter, Amelia (Saxon Sharbino), has been missing for three years and was apparently targeted because she possesses gifts similar to Jake's.
Lucy has been told that her daughter is dead; she doesn't believe it, and her not-so-chance meeting with Martin and Jake on the Santa Monica Pier strengthens her belief that Amelia is alive and can be found.
Martin, Jake and Lucy form an uneasy alliance with their main focus being an all-out effort to find Amelia. Martin has a friend -- a former colleague from his days as a newspaper reporter -- whose connections and online resources could help them turn a few numerical clues into a solid lead regarding the missing girl's location.
Meanwhile, over at the evil empire known as Aster Corp., a genius mathematician named Calvin Norburg (Lukas Haas) is on the verge of a career-defining algorithmic discovery, but he's having second thoughts about turning its results over to a for-profit company that might use the information for nefarious purposes.
When he tries to extricate himself from his Aster Corp. contract, Calvin is told in no uncertain terms that there's really no way out. Frustrated, he uses a scheduled speech before the company's shareholders to lambaste his employers for their less-than-noble motives.
Across the pond in Brussels, a mysterious man named Guillermo Ortiz (Said Taghmaoui) is searching for a uniquely gifted composer who wrote one perfect piece of music and then quit, going underground and working as a baker. When he finds the musician, a discussion of the divine beauty of art has rather distressing results.
As is always the case in Touch, these events -- indeed, all events -- are connected by patterns and paths toward destiny that only Jake and his ilk can understand. And the fun of the storyline is watching as non-gifted types such as Martin and Lucy struggle to make sense of the complexities their offspring have forced them to consider.
Equally entertaining, still, is watching Sutherland in a post-Jack Bauer role in which dangerous encounters and physical confrontations (which become more frequent as Jake is drawn closer to his version of the truth) don't always end with the good guy winning.
Touch isn't ever going to be a big, mainstream hit, because the appeal of its numbers-based narrative is sure to elude a big slice of the couchbound crowd. But for those who are drawn to this show's labyrinthian logic and ethereal imaginings about the order of all things, Touch continues to be a drama that can satisfy its followers while providing Fox with ratings numbers that meet modest Friday-night expectations and could justify a sustained prime-time run.

Between teacing within the public school and tutoring outside of the public school setting, I gained a great deal of experience when it comes to identifying strategies that cause children to learn and retain what they have learned.

I completed a graduate business degree in the 1980s at Johns Hopkins University. More than a decade later I was asked to write the curriculum for an MBA program forming at a private liberal arts college, and I served for several years as the director of that program.

I taught business courses for years at the graduate university level. During that time I consulted for various business entities, writing business plans, assisting in venture capital presentations, and serving on five start-up ventures.

Who is affected by TMJ disorders (TMD)? What are the causes, symptoms, and treatments? How are they diagnosed? Find answers to all your TMD questions.
Welcome to The TMJ Association!
We're glad you're here. You're not alone.
The TMJ Association, Ltd. (TMJA) is a nonprofit, patient advocacy organization whose mission is to improve the quality of health care and lives of everyone affected by temporomandibular disorders (TMD). For over 25 years we have shared reliable information on TMD with people like you and invite you to read our website.
Terrie Cowley - President and Co-Founder
Think You May Have TMJ Disorders?
1) FIRST, try eating soft foods, using ice packs, and avoiding extreme jaw movements, like yawning and gum chewing. Short-term use of over-the-counter or prescription pain medicines may also provide relief.
2) AVOID treatments that cause permanent changes in the bite or jaw. This includes crown work, bridge work or orthodontics to change the bite, grinding down teeth (bite adjustment), or repositioning splints.
3) AVOID surgical treatment, where possible. There have been no long-term studies to test the safety and effectiveness of these procedures.
Dear Doctor Magazine and The TMJ Association, Ltd. Join Forces to Educate the Public about Temporomandibular Disorders
Dear Doctor - Dentistry & Oral Health magazine, the nation's leading source of dental healthcare advice for consumers, today announced a new partnership with The TMJ Association, Ltd. (TMJA) that will bring the most up-to-date information to people suffering from temporomandibular disorders, also known as TMJ. Read more about our new partnership.
The latest Dear Doctor article, "Chronic Jaw Pain and Associated Conditions", is now available. Click here to read this article.
Medical devices report released by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) concluded the 510(k) process lacks the legal basis to be a reliable premarket screen of the safety and effectiveness of moderate-risk devices, and furthermore, that it cannont be transformed into one. Read more.
Donate and make a difference! Help find effective treatments for TMJ Disorders. The TMJ Association is a nonprofit, 501(c)3 patient advocacy organization that relies solely on the generous donations from people like you to fund vital TMD research and awareness efforts.
Terrie: Intended or Unintended, the Unforgivable InjuryTMJ disorders can drastically alter the life patterns of the patients, their families and loved ones. As with any major chronic illness, or the loss of a loved one, everyone experiences the grieving process. In a matter of months or overnight, the patient becomes a totally different person, experiencing unexpected and unfamiliar physical limitations and accompanying fear. The patient is forced to give up not only part of oneself, but also the idealizations and hopes one has had. If these losses are not replaced with hope through understanding and acceptance, everything seems hopeless. Unfortunately, for TMJ patients there are few answers and little that makes sense, which makes understanding, and therefore acceptance, difficult.
This is my story.
Read a selection of touching stories submitted by those experiencing TMD – learn how others cope with issues many patients face.
What are the TMJA science meetings all about? We''ve held six such meetings to date and issued a TMJ Science journal for each.

Preventive operations are being used more and more often to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms. Even though the operation is now being offered to ever older and sicker patients, the long-term survival of those who have had the operation has improved over the last two decades. This is shown in a major Swedish study in which researchers from Uppsala University examined 12,000 patients. The findings are published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Each year between 700 and 1,000 Swedes die as a result of rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The number of preventive operations is on the rise throughout the Western world, for one thing because the population is growing older and also because with new methods it is possible today to treat older and sicker patients. How patients' long-term survival following the operation has been affected by the fact that older and sicker patients are being operated on has been unclear until now. Long-term survival is not only of great importance to the patient, but also to society, since the operation is a major and costly intervention.
The research team has previously reported that fewer and fewer patients are dying in connection with the operation. In the new study, which is based on the Swedish vascular registry (Swedvasc), the researchers have studied the long-term survival of more than 12,000 patients who underwent operations for abdominal aortic aneurysm in Sweden between 1987 and 2005.
The study shows that on average patients live nine years after the operation, which is only marginally shorter than the normal longevity of Swedes of the same age and sex. Men and patients over the age of 80 had better so-called relative survival than women and patients under 80. The fact that the women did not live as long as the men following the operation is believed be due to the circumstance that women with aortic aneurysm often also have more pronounced atherosclerosis.

"One of our goals for this race is to help raise the level of the sport in America. With Americans as the top-five riders into today's time trial and the top-five in the overall classification, the strength of U.S. riders in international cycling is evident here in California."

"I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually."
"Americans play to win at all times. I wouldn't give a hoot and hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor ever lose a war."
"I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me."

Players Red Sox should target
With a surplus of cash, Boston has plenty of options to strengthen its roster
When the Red Sox shipped Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett to the Dodgers last year, they cleared a little more than $260 million in guaranteed contracts off their books. It was the salary dump to end all salary dumps, and that they happened to land a couple of flame-throwing pitching prospects was just a nifty bonus. The primary motivation for the deal was to recoup the money they'd spent, giving them a chance to reallocate those dollars in a more effective fashion in the future.
This winter, that future is going to become the present. The Red Sox spent last winter redistributing their newly available cash to quality role players on short-term contracts, and, after this season ends, the team no longer will have any further commitments to the likes of Mike Napoli, Stephen Drew or Joel Hanrahan, and only Dustin Pedroia, Clay Buchholz and Shane Victorino are signed through the 2015 season. Even after acquiring Jake Peavy at the trade deadline, the Red Sox are still expected to have approximately $40 million to spend this winter, and there are going to be opportunities for the team to put that money to use.
The primary decision, and the one that will shape what the rest of Boston's offseason will look like, will require an in-depth look at Jacoby Ellsbury's value.

Wallpaper On A Nursery Ceiling
I love this idea from Little Green Notebook of putting wallpaper on the nursery ceiling.
This is Daydream wallpaper from Hygge & West. It's $150 a roll, but ceilings take up less space than walls.
This is a great way to add playfulness to the room. Love it.

Two of the best players in the NBA had embarrassing bloopers last night. Although the Miami Heat crushed the Brooklyn Nets and LeBron James had a monster game; I am sure his teammates got on him for his missed dunk attempt. The Lakers are 1-4 but more embarrassing last night was Dwight Howard's free throw. He air balled it. How do you shoot an air ball when you are a pro and have been to the line a million times in your basketball career?

Friends to Honor Pastor's Devotion
Published: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 at 2:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 at 12:00 a.m.
As friends gather today to remember the Rev. Lawrence Sthreshley, they'll recall a man who spent his life giving to his family, his community and his faith.
"His interpretation of the Scripture was that we're called to serve, not just as a minister preaching the gospel, but to serve others, too," said his son, L. Fitzhugh Sthreshley III.
"He truly believed that to serve God is to serve others."
Sthreshley, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Fort Meade for 31 years, died Saturday night of heart failure. He was 83. Services will be at the church at 11 a.m. today.
A native of Virginia, Sthreshley came to the Presbyterian church in Fort Meade in 1959. He was told he would be there for six months, his son said.
"Thirty one years later, he retired from that same church," Sthreshley III said. "His life was his ministry."
