Seminar raises awareness of abuse of elderly
June 29, 2013 at 1:29 a.m.
More INfo
"Elder Abuse and Neglect is Everyone's Business," a special event, free seminar for the Golden Crescent Region. This seminar is open to the public, and lunch will served. Certificates of completion will be awarded.
WHEN: 10 a.m.-2 p.m. July 17
WHERE: The Victoria College Health Science Center, 2200 E. Red River St, Room 133
WHY: To educate area residents of all ages and to enhance public awareness of elder abuse, neglect and financial exploitation.
How do you know when your elderly relative, neighbor or friend is being abused? What are the signs that they are either neglecting themselves or being neglected by someone who is supposed to be caring for them? And how do you keep them from being financially exploited?
These questions and so many more will be answered at a special community event July 17 hosted by The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, the Golden Crescent Area Agency on Aging and the Texas Area Health Education Center East-Victoria Region.
The seminar, "Elder Abuse and Neglect is Everyone's Business," has a lofty goal. It is designed to raise awareness of both elder abuse and prevention, while providing insight into the role of the Department of Family and Protective Services, mandated to investigate and mitigate further mistreatment. The seminar will also explore the role of law enforcement, the causes of abuse and neglect in addition to reporting, responding and preventing it. It also takes a look at advocacy for nursing facility residents and building healthier communities.
Seating is limited. To make a reservation or for more information, contact The Golden Crescent Area Agency on Aging at 361-578-1587, ext. 217 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

(see Trousered Ape)
Write me a poem on
Using the word as a
Thrice-uttered rhyme.
Love to, I would, but I've
Places to go to, and
People to see, so I
Haven't the time.
Oh, well, maybe I do have the time --
O rare parthenogenesis!
You've happened once in history.
Without the flesh's intimate bliss
(O rare parthenogenesis!)
A child's born, perfect as a kiss,
And holy as a mystery.
O rare parthenogenesis,
You've happened once in history.

Battlefield 4? No thanks EA
The Wii U doesn't need a sfxtk.
Personally I would like them to put out the DS version of Super Mario 64 on Wii U VC. All the extras were cool, but the lack of analog kind of ruined it. I know you can play it in a 3DS, which helps, but it's still configured for an 8 direction d-pad. Actually I'm not sure if Luigi was even in that version or not, I remember Yoshi and Wario were in it.
That reminds me, I want the GBA version of Super Mario Bros. 3 on Wii U VC, with all the e-reader levels, including all the ones Japan got that we didn't. Those extra levels were a lot of fun. There were also some cool cards that let you use power ups from other games, like the cape from SMW, and one that put turnips in the ground you could lift up and throw like SMB2. SMB3 is my favorite game of all time, and that is my favorite version due to all the extra e-reader stuff, it's just a pain to actually get out the e-reader and swipe the cards and stuff.
Interesting that Earthbound is on there as new, when it was announced last week. I would like to get Bayonetta 1 since I plan on getting the second one, and never played the first. South Park is one I want too, didn't Ubisoft buy that, that means there is hope since they have been one of the biggest supporters the Wii U. And personally I would rather have Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 HD or something than 3 Ultimate. MvC 2 is one of my favorite fighters of all time, and 3 didn't look nearly as good. I kept my Dreamcast just so I could still play that game (glad I did, I thought about selling it at one point since I had almost all the games I had on it for Gamecube). Also, I think I read that they were interested in putting Ni No Kuni on 3DS a while back, I'd get that.
I couldn't give a crap less about Call of Duty, but they shouldn't ever have to be petitioned to put out the DLC when every other system got it, theres no excuse for that.
Region Unlock would be cool, but that's a lost cause.
Oh now I think they should put the DS version of 64 and the Gameboy version of Super Mario Bros. 3 on the VC once they get the VC rolling, which I still don't get why people thought the launch line up was bad when the original VC didn't have much either. That and we are getting Earthbound people hello…GTA 5 could be coming, which rainbows will be shat and tears will be shed. Bayonetta 1 would probably come out if the Sequel sells good. The rest of these I really don't care for, especially LOL Skype.
According to Michael Pachter Skype will win the next console war. lol.
Yeah, pretty much what I expected out of the launch lineup. Just as long as they put out the VC games at a faster rate than the 3DS or Wii VC I will be very happy.
Oh yeah Skype, when the Wii U chat is just as good I guess lol. Thats what I am hoping for the Wii U VC. They will probably take a little longer to do unless people don't really care for Off TV play but at the same time, its not a deal breaker for me.
It's funny that people think Skype would ever come to the Wii U….I mean, Microsoft owns it so Nintendo would have to pay royalties to them. Nintendo doesn't pay royalties to have Dolby Digital or DVD playback, so they aren't going to pay royalties to one of their competitors.
I in no way think that the Wii U needs DVD playback or even dolby digital….the uncompressed LPCM audio is quite nice since I have a sound system that supports HDMI pass-through. Keeps the console a bit cheaper as well.
There was some leaked document from Vidyo talking about mobile device support too…..
What's funny is that with the new (and stupid imo) Pizza Hut app Pachter said, "It's not at all important, I can do it with my cell phone, don't see how it makes things easier to do so through the Xbox. Sounds really lame, with extremely limited market potential."
Sounds a lot like Skype…does it not? haha
LOL, this is the first I've heard about the Pizza Hut app. I've ordered pizza online before only because of specials that are online only, and it's just so much easier and more convenient to call them and order it.
Honestly, I have never understood the need for a game system to have DVD playback. I'd say nearly 100% of people who can afford a new game system have a DVD player. I wouldn't ever want to wear out my disk drive playing movies. If that goes out you are out $300, when if it goes out on your DVD player you are only out like $40. You always hear people complain about that though, makes no sense to me. Not to mention the royalties have to be paid for each device that plays DVDs, which add to the cost of each system.
Yeah, I hate ordering pizza over the phone….I can feel them judging me. But saying "Xbox, PIZZA" is just ridiculous. They are REALLY pushing to be the #1 device for the living room/home…..you never have to move again!
I agree with that, but I will say that I have a PS3 mostly for the blu-ray….which is awesome. With all of the streaming stuff available now, DVD playback has become niche in a way….which is crazy to me.
I think that Ni No Kuni was released on the DS first actually, just in Japan and under a slightly different name. I'd say it is worth a play on PS3, but if you're looking for something along the lines of Tales of Symphonia, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon….you should just play those instead. It's a good game, but for me it was extremely easy, had some weird things going on with the music (songs in a game like that should NEVER end and then repeat for instance…make it loop) and it was all a bit predictable. I still have fun playing it though.
I am fully behind getting Bayonetta on the eShop. I played the game a bit when it was released, but never really got into it. With the sequel coming out, I would like the chance to play it again, especially with off TV play. I guess I COULD rent it for the PS3/360….but neither of those are my preferred method of play anymore. Considering SEGA didn't even want to fund the sequel, it might be up to Nintendo to get this one worked out.
I didn't realize Ni No Kuni was on DS in Japan. I heard they were thinking of porting it to 3DS. I have heard pretty great things about it so I wouldn't mind checking it out. Yeah, I agree, I don't like when songs in games have a clear beginning and ending instead of looping.
For an RPG, it is pretty much inexcusable in my book. It's really not that hard…the music even has clear points that would be perfect to loop from….but nope. I think it would actually be really cool on the 3DS, that art style would work really well I think.
Personally, I find most of these petitions to be…pointless (XD) Some of what is being asked for just seems picky. Also, I feel these petitions can not be trusted to show an accurate representation of the consumers wants because the data can easily be manipulated. And from what happened with Operation Rainfall I think Nintendo had the same feelings since the releases for the games were very limited. And that petition was for games that were already on the Wii, but only released in Japan. I think it was a reasonable petition because it was already on the system. That being said I can agree with some of these like the Call of Duty DLC, the games that are still in development. Ni No Kuni (but for the DS), etc. But the sequels, ports of games already out and some of the remakes…not so much.
To be honest, I don't think any of these will be successful.

Coronation Street star Sue Nicholls has revealed that Rula Lenska will return to Weatherfield to reprise the role of Claudia.
Lenska, who played Audrey's glamorous friend in the Manchester soap, will make a return during the salon owner's birthday party.
Claudia will reveal some secrets about Audrey's boyfriend Lewis (Nigel Havers) to Gail McIntyre (Helen Worth).
Nicholls told RTE that it was "fun" to work with Rula.
She explained: "Yes, she's a little bit like the wicked witch, isn't she? It's great fun.
"In my head Claudia is that friend you know is always going to be a pain. She's the one who says the wrong thing, is always trying to out do you and has a habit of saying really horrid things even though she thinks they're a joke.
"But I think in a funny way they really do get on.
"She gets quite drunk at the party and when Audrey makes her announcement she has no qualms about filling Gail in on Lewis's past."

4 Great value but 2 points to noteLucky64 | 17/06/2011 | See all Lucky64's reviews (1)Great Value TV/DVD. 2 minor issues otherwise excellent.1. Picture appears dark when viewed from below (unlike our other HD TV) so best not to be sited above eye level as ours has to be. Now set at maximum tilt to be OK2. Scart connection is vertical and upside down. Lead will nearly always be connected from a device below the TV so shouldn't have to contort the lead to connect to the TV. Our Scart lead now sticks out to the left of the TV by quite a lot! Will have to buy a long scart lead to minimise this!

Guitar Building School and Repair Workshop ARC Guitar is a unique Guitar Building School and Vintage Guitar Restoration Specialist located in a 106 year old historical brick building in the quaint city of Winters, CA. We're only 30 minutes from downtown Sacramento and less than 60 minutes from the San Francisco Bay Area.
Visitors Welcome!
Guitar School & Workshop Hours: Monday - Closed Tuesday - Friday 10am - 6pm Saturday - 10am to 2pm and by appointment Closed on Sunday to observe the Lord's Day
Location: 308 Railroad Avenue, Winters CA 95694
ARC Guitar is now entering the sixth year of our Guitar Building School.
New! We now offer a three year apprenticeship program to students who desire to move past their first guitar building project and learn specialized luthierie skills which will prepare them for the job market. We are in the process of developing a certificate program that carries the same prestige of other schools of lutherie in the country.
We use "hands on" personal instruction in all of guitar building and repair courses.
Courses offered:
BAGB-101 Basic Acoustic Guitar Building 101: The goal for the student is to produce a quality instrument (similar to a Martin D-28 or Taylor 410) and develop a working knowledge of guitar construction. The classes are four hours in length and cover the basics of guitar building. The student will also learn more advanced techniques like voicing the top and shaping the neck. Excellent results have been achieved by most students. Upon completion, the guitar is in the finish stage and ready to apply a protective coating. All materials, tools and supplies are provided for the student. When completed, the value of the guitar is worth $2,500.00 - 5,000.00 and is something that will be cherished for a lifetime and passed down as a family heirloom.
AGDB-201 Advanced Guitar Design and Building 201: The goal for the student is to design and build their own classical or acoustic guitar. This is an advanced class and is offered only to second year apprenticeship students who have demonstrated proficiency through completion of BAGB-101.
GF Guitar Finishing: Most students send their guitars out to our master woodfinisher for a professional "tough-as-nails finish" that's returned with a beautiful finish. There are other choices for finishing too. Under our guidance, a small number of students have applied their own finishes. Nitrocellulose lacquer applied with professional HVLP is the finish of choice but we also teach french polishing and tung oil hand-rubbed finishes.
IE Inlay and engraving: The goal for the student is to create their own pearl shell inlay design and learn basic and advanced inlay skills. Rosette and edge binding techniques will also be taught. This is an invitation only class.
NS Nut and Saddle making This is taught during GAB-101 and is also taught as a stand alone course. The student will learn how to choose, thickness size and slot a nut and shape a saddle for correct intonation.
Other workshops and seminars offered: Neck Resetting Fretting and advanced fretwork Guitar Wiring Crack repair and finish touchup Guitar Setup Nut and Saddle construction
Class size for all courses is limited to three students per session. The small class size allows for student interaction, safety, an opportunity for demonstration of procedures and techniques and less competition for machines and work space. The school's approach resembles an old world apprenticeship model that often continues for up to six months, often longer.
Guitar Building School - Cost and Class Times
Now you can Build Your Own Custom Hand Crafted Guitar exactly the way you want it.
ARC Guitar provides all the materials and supplies needed for you to build your guitar, with many beautiful exotic wood upgrades and options to choose from. The weekly classes offered are full day (eight hours) for $150.00 and half-day (four hours) for $75.00 A maximum of three students per class is intentionally designed for student interaction and interests.
It takes an average of 26 weeks to complete an enitre guitar and the process is exciting as you learn new wood working skills and develop poroblem solving techniques. Those without prior wood working skills will catch on quickly in a work environment that teaches safety first. You can schedule your lesson during weekdays and *Saturday (*1/2/15 note: Saturday classes are currently full - please call to be added to waiting list.)
Our guitar kits begin at $800.00 and can be customized with your own choices of woods, binding, shell inlay, tuning machines, case and electronic pickup. Students are expected to buy their materials from ARC Guitar. Those that wish to use their own wood materials must have permission of the instructor and must pay a non-refundable shop use fee of $250.00.
Introducing ARC Guitar
ARC Guitar takes a simple straight-forward approach to guitar building and stringed instrument repair: excellence, integrity, affordability, and customer satisfaction. Although we specialize in guitar restoration repair and building high quality hand-crafted guitars, our real passion is found in operating a unique school of luthierie. Teaching others how to build their own guitars and passing along highly specialized wood working skills is what really excites us.
Factory guitars look nice and some sound really great too, but they're common and don't have that personal touch that brings a guitar to life. Finding that sweet spot in each guitar has been a four decade quest for owner/luthier Al Calderone. Building your own guitar is more than a project. Its a journey that connects you to the bigger picture of shaping sound by using exotic woods as your canvas and saws and chisels as your brushes. We're friendly people too. Stop in for a visit anytime during regular shop hours and we'll be happy to give you a tour of our shop and explain the process of guitar building and show you some of the student's guitars.
When you visit ARC Guitar, you'll see guitars being built by students enrolled in ARC Guitar Building School. Classes meet 5 days a week and are designed to fit into busy work schedules. Students are taught in groups of 2-3 during a four hour session and cover all the basics of guitar building and learn more advanced skills like voicing the top and sculpting the neck from a neck blank.
ARC Guitar's building school is in its sixth year and over 50 students have come through the school during that time. Students become associates and some have become close freinds with one another in this unique artisan community sharing a passion for guitars, wood and music. Some students have entered into a new career field in the professional world of lutherie.
Custom "Add ON" options for your guitar
Upgrades: - wood binding - $60.00 - abalone rosette - $65.00 - master grade top - $125.00 - exotic hardwood for body -$200 -500 - ivory nut/saddle set - $200.00 - electronic pickups - $350.00 - economy case - $100.00 - premium hardshell case - $250.00 and up - custom inlays - $50.00 and up - premium tuning machines - $125.00

Griffin's Perfecto Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 4 of 4 reviews
"My New Best Friend"
I've been trying a number of perfectos lately because I've decided I like the look of this cigar and I like the way it burns, and feels in the hand. It's shape, well balanced, the smoke, soothing from end to end. This perfecto hits a balance with me that lets me do all the things I want with a cigar. Ok, don't go there...But honestly, this is one of few cigars I can say the draw was effortless, each puff and exhale delivered a sweet cloud of varied bouquet. The room filled with a delicious aroma, and seldom did the smoke scorch my eye and parch my throat. Some call this a mild cigar, but I'm not a smoker. I have a delicate palate, and these cigars deliver a flavor that you can taste like a meal. I let the smoke collect around me, I take in the fine Tabak. It's an enjoyable smoke and my new best friend.
Don M in Brooklyn, NY September 28, 2013
"It's like golf"
Ever go into a Pro Shop & try out all the new putters -- looking for the magic wand? .... Well, that's how I am with cigars, I keep trying new one's looking for some that will stick. This one just didn't do it for me ... dull taste and a very bitter finish .... I should just stick with my old trusty putter "Padron"!!
Jeff in Chapel Hill, NC December 30, 2008
"Great taste and my #1 smoke along with the 300's"
Very consistent tasting smoke like all the griffin's I've tried. My only negative comment is that, like the rocky patel cuban blend belicoso, one or two out of the box have a hard draw and inconsistent burn.
Jim D in Massachusetts March 20, 2008
"Not bad"
These are a nice well made smoke not bad, spend an extra 50 cents and buy the zino bullet.
Joe in Long Island, NY December 27, 2006

Sengoku Basara dev: Girls don't like disgusting violenceWhile Sengoku Basara is a game that many of our Western readers don't really care about, it's apparently really popular with girls in Japan. While it's weird to think that a hack n' slash game has a huge female fanbase, producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi has it all worked out, and believes he holds the key to girl gamer appeal with his franchise. "I took similar steps while making Devil May Cry 4 as well," he explains. "The first thing was to take away things girls don't like, things that are disgusting and violent graphics or events. Also, big, buff, macho guys. There are girls that like that, but most girls like a realistic nice, sweet guy. "If we made someone like the Hulk, a big overly muscular guy, girls probably won't be into that. If you take that character and tone him down a bit, make him more of a smart type, that little difference can change the perception of how females receive that character." And here I just thought it was because all the male characters look like rejects from My Chemical Romance.

24th January
Aston University student James Taylor has been chosen out of hundreds of students by the Association for Sandwich Education and Training (ASET) to write a web log on his experience of his work based placement.
As the UK's national professional body for students partaking in work based placements, ASET is supported strongly by Aston. Applicants around the country competed for the privilege to document and share their experience on the organisations website, but only four lucky students were selected.
23 year old James is currently in his third year of Chemical Engineering and has been given the opportunity of staying at Aston for an extra year to convert his degree into a MEng in Chemical Engineering. At present he is on placement at global specialist chemical company Basell as part of his degree. This is particularly what grabbed ASET's attention during the selection process.
Since starting at Aston James has been in the top per cent of students on his course, however his academic success hasn't always been a priority of his career ambitions! At the age of 16, James left his school in Hinkley, Leicestershire after the completion of GCSEs to begin training as an electrician. His love for cars then led him to take up a position at a garage, however it was here that James decided to take the brave step of going back to college in search of an education to gain greater career opportunities.
Since taking this first step back onto the education ladder and with the success he has achieved through it so far, James has had no regrets.
'I would definitely recommend university. When I considered going back to education it seemed like a huge mountain to climb, but when I knew that the sandwich course at Aston was available, I appreciated how much I would learn and opted for it with no hesitation', said James.
James is a strong supporter of Aston's encouragement for students to take a work based placement as part of their course and said: 'If a sandwich year is available on a course I would definitely recommend it. It gives you a real insight into the job and often can help you decide what sector of the industry you would like to go into.'
The other students chosen by ASET are studying a variety of degrees and work placements, and like James, they all value the importance of gaining experience through a work based placement whilst in education.
He is joined on the website by Claire Daly from Bath University (who is studying for a BSc in European Studies with Modern Languages), Nikki Davis from Nottingham Trent University (who is studying for a BA in Furniture and Product Design), and Louise Longman from the University of the West of England (who is taking a BSc in Biomedical Sciences).

For some February is Superbowl month, for others February has become an occasion during which people express their love for each other. Expressing love is not just about the love which you show towards someone or something else but it can be expressing love towards yourself, me, myself and I. Can you honestly say you express love to yourself?
Love is also said to be a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection. Here at the Kohler Waters Spa we want you to try something new this February, we want you to romance yourself, show your body compassion and kindness and rejuvenated from within.
Romance your body with our seasonal treatments
Caramelt Me Away is a head-to-toe, full body & facial experience in one. The treatment begins with an exfoliation using a sweet cream salt scrub followed by a drizzle of warm caramel shea butter melt. After wrapping the body, enjoy a facial along with a neck & scalp massage. After a gentle rinse , a sweep of caramel body milk lotion nourishes the body with rich oils and vitamins…
The Berries and Bliss Pedicure features fun, whimsical & paraben free products from Farmhouse Fresh. In a word? YUMMY! The scents? AMAZING! For New Year Toes? PERFECT. Blueberry Powder Milk Bath, Sweet Cream Body Scrub, Strawberry Smash Double Moisturizer, Dark Chocolate Serum. And to put you over the edge, our signature warm stones between your toes…
A person can be said to love an object, principle, or goal if they value it greatly and are deeply committed to it. Commit your body and mind and try one of our fitness classes, restore your inner love with one of our yoga classes, stimulate the circulatory system, endocrine glands and other organs and keep muscles and joints strong and flexible. Try one of our Personal Training sessions or boot camps and allow your body to experience new pleasures and find a passion in health and fitness. Traditionally chocolate hearts and flowers are exchanged to show affection but chocolates are eaten and flowers wilt. So maybe this year embark on one of our 7 week programmes, and make a positive change that will last you lifetime.
We wish you a lustful February and we ask you to find a new love…Me, myself and I

Industrial Energy Efficiency Will Depend on Capital Investment in the Future
As the manufacturing sector continues to capture many of the low- and no-cost energy improvement opportunities, future improvements will be increasingly linked to industry's capital investment activity, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) report "Understanding Industrial Investment Decisions."
Industrial energy program administrators will need a better understanding of capital investment processes as these vary by industry. By influencing capital investment decisions, the next generation of energy efficiency programs can affect industrial energy use for years to come.
Although the manufacturing sector struggled during the past decade, the research found all industries boosted their productivity during this time period, due in part to the closure of older, less efficient facilities. In the short run, this leads to higher capacity utilization as surviving production facilities take up the slack.
In addition, the research notes a new trend of companies bringing their foreign production facilities back to the US. And with the $2.2 trillion cash balances accumulated by public corporations over the past decade, it's likely to drive capital investment in new, domestic manufacturing production facilities.
This industrial renewal is an opportunity to lock in energy savings for a generation for the U.S., and should be taken advantage of by state and utility energy programs, said Christopher Russell, co-author of the report. A strategic approach would fold energy efficiency into the design and construction of new production facilities and modernization of existing plants.

One comment on "Industrial Energy Efficiency Will Depend on Capital Investment in the Future"
America is blessed with an abundance of relatively cheap natural gas today.
Other parts of the world are paying much more, giving American companies an advantage.
What America is going to have to do though to keep this advantage is stop wasting so much of this energy.
Going up chimneys across the country is a whole lot of HOT, wasted natural gas energy. Natural gas can be used so much more efficiently.
With the technology of Condensing Flue Gas Heat Recovery the energy can be recovered from these exhaust gases, and this recovered energy can then be used back in the building or facility. Vent COOL exhaust.
Natural gas can be consumed so efficiently that the WATER can be recovered from these combusted exhaust gases.
What natural gas is not wasted today, will be there to be used another day.

Correspondence Address: D.B A NarayanaHindustan Unilever Limited, Bangalore India
Full TextUnilever R and D September 3, 2010, BangaloreA one-day symposium on, 'Safety and Risk Assessment Approaches for Materials of Herbal Origin,' was organized by Unilever R and D [Figure 1], in association with the Indian Drug Manufacturers Association (IDMA) and Ayurvedic Drug manufacturers Association (ADMA) at the Unilever R and D Center, in Bangalore, on September 3, 2010{Figure 1}About 120 delegates from the Academia, Government agencies, and the Industry participated in this symposium. Dr. Vilas Sinkar, VP, R and D, and Site Leader (Bangalore) welcomed the delegates and gave a brief overview of Unilever, its R and D Centers, and Safety and Environmental Assurance Centre (SEAC). He talked about the increased use of herbal materials (including Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine), which necessitates the development of appropriate science-based risk assessment approaches. Dr. Julia Fentem, Head of the Safety Environment Assurance Center, Unilever, in her introductory presentation, highlighted the growing interest in herbal materials ('naturals') for consumers, globally, to improve the health and well-being, and the increasing application of herbal materials beyond medicinal products to personal care, foods, and dietary supplements. Emphasizing the need to understand and apply the most up-to-date scientific knowledge and approaches to ensure the safety of these products for consumers globally, Dr. Fentem set up the context of the symposium:To share our expertise and insights on assessing the safety of herbal materialsTo identify key gaps in our scientific knowledge and future research needsThe inaugural address was delivered by Dr. SK Sharma, Adviser Ayurveda, Department of AYUSH (Government of India), on 'Regulatory Status and Recent Development of Herbals'. He gave an overview of the existing regulations on herbals, in the context of medical applications. He also talked about the upcoming regulations and Government of India's initiatives on education and research in Ayurveda. He clarified the ample history of usage known in Traditional knowledge for naturals, and summarized the regulatory initiatives taken by the government. The highlights of these were, permitting the use of excipients to extend the shelf-life of herbals, mandating marking of the shelf-life for Ayurvedic products, creating of new categories, namely, Ayurvedic supplements, Ayurvedic cosmetics, Ayurvedic extracts, permitting the use of solvent-based extracts in Ayurveda, provided the necessary additional safety data and published scientific literature was provided for such extracts, publication of more than eight volumes of pharmacopoeial compendium for raw herbs and two volumes for recipes, and so on. He also said that there was a need to have greater interaction between traditional medicine experts and current safety assessors.The keynote address was delivered by Dr. Vasantha Muthuswamy, Senior Deputy Director General (Retd.), Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR); on 'Challenges in Herbal Materials'. Giving a brief history of traditional medicines, Dr. Vasantha talked about the increasing herbal market globally. She brought out specific limitations and risks associated with herbal materials and the need for quality standards and enforcement of regulations for herbal materials. Giving case studies on the use of traditional herbs for disease conditions (Berberine for Alzheimer's disease and Bacopa for epilepsy) she emphasized the need to use modern methods for assessing the efficacy and safety of herbals and using ICMR guidelines for Clinicals.The technical sessions started with a presentation from Dr. Ram Manohar, Director, Research, Arya Vaidya Pharmacy on the 'Principles and Insights from Ayurveda on Safety of Herbals'. He brought out the key principles of the safety and risk assessment ingrained within Ayurveda and cited Ayurvedic literature that indicated the existence of a risk-based framework. The evolution of the medical system also indicated the existence of a long-term, evaluation process, running into 5 - 10 years, before widespread application of a therapy. He also talked on the safety needs of herbal remedies, and the approaches for generating long-term epidemiological data on traditional system-based remedies in the current context, rather than following traditional toxicology approaches.Dr. CK Katiyar, VP - Health Care Research, Dabur R and D, gave a talk on the 'Modern Challenges for Safety Assessment of Ayurvedic Materials'. Dr. Katiyar discussed the factors responsible for safety concerns in herbal materials (e.g., use of toxic substances, heavy metal contamination, poor quality, batch variations, etc.) and the challenges in safety evaluation of herbals (geographical and seasonal variations, processing variations, etc.). He also talked about the modern safety evaluation methods, regulations (Drug and Cosmetics Act), and guidelines (e.g., WHO, AYUSH) for the safety evaluation of herbals and using new approaches like nematode models, for assessing safety.Dr. Poonam Kakkar, Head - Herbals Research at the Indian Institute of Toxicology Research presented a review on the 'Toxicological Assessment of Herbal Materials: Current Status and Progress in India'. Dr. Kakkar discussed factors of safety concern, such as, inherent toxic constituents, purity of preparation, contamination, compromised quality, and toxicological evaluations. She presented the science and technology map in India on this aspect. On toxicological evaluations of herbal materials, she also emphasized that need to address the 'intended use' for determining toxicological end points. Discussing the future approaches, Dr. Kakkar stressed the importance of predictive toxicology (building relevant databases), in silico modeling (QSAR) and 'omics' technologies in the safety assessment of herbal materials.The final talk was delivered by Dr. Bobbie Bradford, Product Toxicologist, SEAC, who presented the Unilever's strategy for the safety assessment of herbals. Through illustrative case studies, she highlighted the History of the Safe Use approach for herbal materials, which was refined using modern mathematical approaches and advanced analytical chemistry tools, the extent of exposure, nature and format in which used, the route of administration, and the extent of application and contact time. Gaps, if any, on any toxicological end points were addressed using the traditional toxicological tools. The Unilever presentation generated good discussion and the approach was appreciated as a balanced one, while addressing all relevant consumer risks.The symposium ended with a panel discussion chaired by Prof. YK Gupta and moderated ably by: Dr. DBA Narayana.The Panel discussions involved an open-house discussion on several outcomes of the discussions that occurred throughout the day in the symposium, as recorded by the reporters, and the following position statements were agreed upon:The history of use of herbal materials, recognized in the traditional medical systems is a great scientific asset for Safety and Risk Assessment. This should constitute an appropriate evidence of safety in the risk assessment of herbal materialsThere is a need to improve the documentation of the history of use of herbal materialsIt is essential to establish the History of Safe Use with reference to the part of the plant, processing, format, dose, and route of administrationIt is also critical to develop the relevant quality profiles, fingerprints, and specifications for all herbal materials that have a safe history of useCurrently, there is no common, globally determined acceptable level of heavy metals, as contaminants (including US FDA).Large manufacturers are moving away from raw herbs to extracts, wherein, heavy metal levels could get concentrated ApproachesCommon global acceptable levelsRigorous scientific evaluation and harmonization, to avoid barriers to tradeDevelop technologies that can selectively remove or reduce levels of heavy metals in extracts, without altering the composition of the extractsThere is a need to develop a robust safety assessment process for Herbal extracts prepared using organic solvents as a medium, which appropriately considers any Health Outcomes Survey (HOS) data and guides additional safety data to be generatedGreat care is to be exercised while reviewing published scientific literature / data related to Safety of Herbals. A guideline needs to be developed that can help in identifying the relevant information for safety from published literature (e.g., not to extend information of a chemical component to a total herb)There is a need for focused education and training to enhance human resource for toxicology and safety evaluation sciences (including regulatory toxicologists) in IndiaAcademic Institutions and National Laboratories need to evaluate the initiation of specific courses to encourage safety professionals and regulatory toxicologistsIn the absence of a structured pharmacovigilance program for herbals, there is a need to create greater awarenessPilot projects that document the safety aspects experienced by patients / consumers when they use herbals, and a system to evaluate such data, need to be initiated in the country. Such a project has the potential to generate large 'Phase-IV human use data' in a true market situationThe additional points that came up repeatedly for discussions were:Need to generate more data on traditional medicine and their efficacy and safety, through Pharmacovigilance and PharmacoepidemiologyNeed for generating data on the effects of Herbals and their bio-availability, efficacy / safety, and interactions, if any, with other medicines taken concurrently by consumersEvolving a balanced safety and risk assessment approach and building on existing approaches being practiced, for example, Unilever's History of Safe Use approach, wherever relevantIt was recommended that a core group be formed to draw out a comprehensive strategy and propose the next steps Adip Roy (email@example.com) and Rajendra Dobriyal (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Ensemble consisting of two violins, viola, and cello, or a work written for such an ensemble. Since circa 1775 such works have been perhaps the predominant genre of chamber music. It was principally developed (if not quite invented) by Joseph Haydn, who wrote some 70 quartets between 1757 and 1803. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Béla Bartók, and Dmitry Shostakovich are the preeminent subsequent quartet composers. Works called string quartets have traditionally observed the four-movement design of the sonata and symphony. Like most chamber music genres, quartet music was traditionally intended primarily for the private enjoyment of amateur musicians rather than for public performance.

Popular vocal ensemble consisting of four unaccompanied male voices. The voice parts are tenor, lead, baritone, and bass, with the lead normally singing the melody and the tenor harmonizing above. The emphasis is on close harmony, synchronization of word sounds, and variation of tempo, volume, diction, and phrasing. Barbershop apparently originated in the U.S. in the late 19th century, when American barbershops formed social and musical centres for neighbourhood men, though the term may derive from "barber's music," the British term for an extemporized performance by patrons waiting to be shaved and referring to a barber's traditional role as a musician.

One of the early composers of string quartets, Luigi Boccherini, wrote 100 string quartets. Other important composers of string quartets include Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven. The term "quartet" is also used to refer to a musical composition written for such a group. In string quartets, each player is typically given an allowing distinct part.
Another common type of Western art music quartet is the piano quartet, consisting of violin, viola, cello, and piano.
Yet another type of Western art music quartet is the "Saxophone Quartet", consisting of Soprano Saxophone, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone and Baritone Saxophone or (SATB). Often a second alto may be substituted for the Soprano part (AATB) or a Bass Saxophone may be substituted for the Bari. The groups usually perform a mix of classical and jazz. Saxophone Quartet literature is limited. Most of the traditional style classical sheet music is transcribed from string quartet charts. Saxophone Quartets are rare, most are assembled for performance studies at music colleges and the public never gets the chance to hear their unique sound. You can hear them on occasion if you listen to NPR news in the US.

Air Wiig
Just before Wiig was supposed to take the stage, Fallon announced that Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player who's ever lived, was going to stop by for a quick interview. Lo and behold, when they pulled the curtain to welcome the NBA Hall of Famer it was Kristen Wiig wearing a Jordan basketball jersey! Wearing an ill-fitting bald cap, she attempted to perform something that barely resembled basketball skillz. The charade didn't stop there; Fallon and Wiig continued this ruse for an entire faux-interview. After the commercial break, Wiig finally revealed herself to promote her new movie, Girl Most Likely.
All-Star Interview
In celebration of the MLB's All-Star Game being held at Citi Field Stadium, Mets pitcher Matt Harvey played man on the street for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon., interviewing Mets fans about the All-Star Game. Unbelievably, every single fan they featured didn't recognize the All-Star pitcher, even those who claim that he is their favorite player! Even more strange, a lot of these men essentially confessed their man-crush right to his face, calling him a stud and complimenting his rock- hard physique.

Finding the perfect pair of chino pants can be a challenge, despite the wide array of options we have today. Getting a proper fit at the right price point requires some trial and error, and some legwork (intentional pun).
Fortunately, I've done some of this legwork for you. Here are five of the best chino pants I've found. Check them out for yourself.
Apolis chinos were my go-to pants for several years. They're practically bulletproof, with triple stitched seams, durable cotton, and heavy rivets. The fit is relatively slim and the rise moderate.
Epaulet Rivet chinos are very slim, have a low rise, and come in lots of different colors. The details – from the buttons to the pockets to the seams – are stellar.
Blackbird's new Foss Tugger chino is a home run. A versatile all-around pant, they have a decently high rise and the fit is slim, not skin tight. They come in subdued colors like "wood" and "fir."
The Gio is a slim (not skinny) chino pant that's made in the United States. They're a simple and stylish pant that is constructed much like a tailored trouser. Buy them direct from Unis or at select boutiques.
The Norse Projects Aros chino is made in Europe with a durable 100% cotton Italian broken twill fabric. The fit is tapered and very slim.
Here's your affordable option. Slim chinos by Cheap Monday are made with lightweight 100 percent cotton fabric and feature a zipper fly, moderate rise, and trouser-style construction. Available at NeedSupply.

Chocolate Platinum, yet another flavor
More memory, pixels and new look
No sooner did we learn of the white Chocolate do we hear that LG is already upgrading to a Chocolate Platinum. In addition to yet another new look, according to PhoneArena, this sliding bar has double the memory (256MB) and almost double the camera resolution (2 megapixels) as its just-released predecessor. As much as we lust after the new design, we might as well wait--at this pace, the whole line may be obsolete by Friday.

Queensland's business leaders have called for an overhaul of the nation's industrial relations system, which they say is too restrictive and is holding back business.
At an Australian Financial Review business round table in Brisbane ahead of the March 24 election, business executives from the mining, property, banking and tourism sectors also called on the state's political leaders to address excessive regulation and tax. They criticised the Labor Party and Liberal National Party for failing to offer a long-term vision for the resource-rich state, saying both needed to focus on returning the budget to surplus as soon as possible and on reclaiming the AAA credit rating lost in early 2009.
Rio Tinto chief executive Doug Ritchie – who runs the mining giant's global coal and uranium business from Brisbane – took aim at the industrial relations system saying it needed to be much more flexible.
"We've got a whole new generation of people who view work-life balances and the relationship they want to have with the employer just so differently than people of my generation ever did," he said.
"We just need an industrial setting that actually reflects these economic changes, social and demographic changes. We've got something that looks to me to be so confined."
Mr Ritchie said business needed the ability to directly engage with its workforce.
"That's the starting point for a productive workforce, and a safe working environment. As soon as you've got third parties who wish to stand in the place and to be an intermediary between you and people you're actually paying, you end up with substandard results."
Wotif Group chief executive Robbie Cooke said inflexibility labour laws were hurting the hospitality industry in Queensland.
He said he was aware of the "ridiculous situation" where one major tourism operator was considering shutting down over the peak Easter period, despite being at full capacity, because penalty rates would mean it makes a lose. "I think one of the big challenges for the hospitality industry has been just the inflexibility of the labour laws or lack thereof within Australia," Mr Cooke said.
Mr Ritchie also identified "regulation overkill" and high taxation as holding back mining development. "I can't think of one decent reform of taxation that has occurred since 1942," he said.
"It's unfortunate that productivity seems to be categorised in this current debate as getting people to work harder for less and we know it has got so many more dimensions to it than that. And the governments have a big role to play."
Bank of Queensland chief executive Stuart Grimshaw said the state government needed to demonstrate it could return the budget to surplus as a step towards winning back the AAA credit rating. "You've got to balance your budget pretty quickly to get back to the AAA."
Devine chief executive David Keir, one of Queensland's largest property companies, said politicians should be judged against the same standards as company directors who have to deliver for shareholders.
"The level of over-regulation not just in Queensland, but across all states, is astonishing," Mr Keir said.
"We now have three different levels of approval processes between your local authority, your state government and federal government. So you're constantly stepping through hurdles to try and work out whether you can develop the property."
Mr Cooke said whoever won government on March 24 needed to overhaul the myriad of state taxes. "Payroll tax, even though Queensland's rate is lower, is the most draconian tax you can possibly impose," Mr Cooke said.
Mark Macfarlane, chief executive of Santos GLNG, which is building a multi-billion dollar coal-seam gas project in Gladstone, said governments needed to acknowledge the "economic costs of regulation" which could threaten investment in the state.

How to develop business in a down economy
Why a positive attitude is one of your most important tools
Cindy RoldEvery day, the newspapers are full of stories about the weak economy. You may have even experienced a downturn in business yourself. Two common reactions to a slowdown are: to hibernate and completely avoid networking and business development or to come on too strong out of desperation. Neither is effective.
So what is effective in this economy?
First and most important is to maintain a positive attitude. A positive attitude will allow you to engage in appropriate and effective actions and will keep you out of the downward fear spiral. Release your fear, focus on what you want rather than what you don't want, and spend time nurturing and developing your relationships.
Recognize that a slowing of business gives you the opportunity to get back to basics and to focus on your relationships. You no longer have the excuse of "I don't have time." You now have more time to meet with people, call them and stay in touch. You have time to attend industry meetings, write an article or give a talk.
Here are a few other specific actions you can take to engage in business development and strengthen your relationships, which will ultimately lead to business:
Make a contribution to others every day. A contribution means doing or sharing something that enhances another person's business or personal life. You're not giving with the thought of, "If I do this for Person A, she'll give me business." Instead, you're doing it with an attitude of selflessness. Call a client to ask how they are being affected by the down economy. Send an article about a subject the person is interested in. Write a note to thank the person for something – or maybe just a "thinking of you" note to someone who has been laid off.
Get closer to your clients. Meet with your clients and learn more about their businesses and how they are doing in the current economy. If most of your communication is done via e-mail or by phone, this is a perfect opportunity to meet in person (without charge). Ask for feedback on your services.
Identify your ideal client. It's surprising how many people can't precisely identify their ideal client. Figure out the characteristics of your ideal client so people you know can mentally scan their contact list and think of people they know who meet your description. Once you have that clear description, share it with everyone, including your closest friends and family members. Don't assume they know what you do and who you do it for, because they probably don't know.
Attend and make the most of gatherings. In the current economy, you may have the time to attend events you chose to pass on before because you were "too busy." These include business networking events, social gatherings and even your kids' activities. Prepare before going, and ask questions to turn conversations towards business activities and needs. Don't sell, just look for ways to contribute and be helpful.
Get involved. Join and actively participate in the industry or professional groups frequented by your ideal clients. Look for ways to make a contribution to the group by volunteering (sitting at the registration desk at meetings is an excellent way to meet people), getting involved in committees or serving on the board.
Speak and write. Once you know what groups your ideal clients belong to, find out how to speak at their local, regional or national events and write for their print and electronic publications. Before you speak or write, ask your clients or potential clients for their input. Invite them to attend the speech. After you speak or write, send a synopsis or a copy of the article to your contact list with a personal note.
Implement your marketing plan. Even in a down economy, you won't have time to implement every one of these suggestions. Select a few that best fit your business, industry and personality. If you need some help devising or implementing a personal plan, a coach can help. Create metrics to track your progress and success, such as call two contacts a week, send four notes a week or meet with a referral source every week.
Many businesses are being affected in some way by this economy. Take heart in knowing you are not alone. Maintain a positive attitude, take action, and concentrate on building relationships with prospects, clients, and referral sources, and you will position yourself to receive business not only today, but well into the future.

Moon Time – Taking Our Understanding of Our Cycles Beyond School Biology Class!
The following is a guest post from Lucy H. Pearce, author of Moon Time: A guide to celebrating your menstrual cycle.
What did you learn about your cycles in school science classes?
Were you told about the spiritual and intuitive gifts of menstruation? How to weave your work and creativity around them? Did you learn how to care for yourself during your bleeding? Or what about the four archetypal parts of the cycle?
No? Me neither!
That is why I set out to write my book: Moon Time: A guide to celebrating your menstrual cycl. It is for you, and me, and our sisters and daughters. To fill in the gaps that school and our mothers never taught us. Because when we understand what is happening inside our bodies, we can learn how to live our lives in harmony with them, rather than fighting or ignoring our biology. This leads to a decrease in PMS, heightened intuitive powers and a deeper connection to our own innate creativity.
Our cycles ensure that we do not live static lives. Instead, they demand that we live dynamically, constantly exploring the different gifts of feminine power. Part of learning the art of being a woman is learning to honour each element of our cycles and ourselves.
Through our cycles our bodies regenerate their life-giving ability. During our moon time we dive into our depths, mining gems of intuitive wisdom. And in the mid-part of our cycles we are gifted with the energy to bring these forth – to birth our gifts, our children and our creations into the world.
Our cycles have four major phases, which can be interpreted as corresponding to the four main female archetypes (or energy patterns) and stages of life.
The Virgin/Maiden
The virgin self emerges after the menstrual bleeding has stopped, and the fresh new womb lining grows. This phase is seen as the phase of the virgin.
She is full of innocence, energy and potential. She feels good in her body – flirtatious, sexy and lighter after the dark days of her blood time. Her ability to conceive and gestate are just emerging, and are still unproven. At this point in her cycle, she feels free-est from her menstrual pull – she is a virgin in the traditional sense of the word – a woman unto herself.
The Mother
The time of ovulation and possible conception is represented by the mother, who has the ability to nurture new life. Her fertile womb space is warm and soft. At this time a woman tends to feel loving and enjoys giving of herself fully, either by becoming a mother to a child, or in her career, creativity or home making. Ovulation symbolises the ability to give and sustain life and the full flourishing of a woman's life.
The Enchantress/Wild Woman
The pre-menstrual stage is a descent from the light, outward stage of our cycle and into the dark, inner stage. Progesterone and oestrogen dance together to create dynamic swings. The wild woman dances a magical path between huge bouts of creativity and emotional storms. In becoming a wise woman you learn how to harness this powerful energy, knowing when to destroy, how to express your righteous anger, and when to go within and reflect.
The Crone/Wise Woman
The crone emerges during the late pre-menstrual and bleeding time. She can be a wise woman or a destructive witch, depending on how she handles this time. Her mood darkens and she becomes pulled inward, becoming quieter, more reflective and more in touch with the dream time. She is less "in the world", and like an older person is in need of more rest. This time has many gifts for the woman and her community, if she can learn to retreat and allow her visions to emerge from her darkest depths.
We live in a culture which worships the virgin, her nubile body and budding sexuality. One which sidelines the mother, not celebrating or honouring the acts of gestation, birth and childrearing. A culture which fears the power of the enchantress, which turns away from the wisdom of the elders and does not know the value of reflection and dreams.
In order to reclaim our full selves, to integrate each of these aspects through which we will pass into our lives, we must first learn to embrace them though our cycles.
We need to take time to honour the part of ourselves which mothers and nurtures; the part of us which yearns to be girlish and free; the wise woman who watches in the wings full of wisdom and the erotic enchantress who can bewitch and create magic. Our cycles allow us to take on these roles, to live these hidden parts of our psyches – perhaps they are stages we have already passed through in our lives, glad that they are behind us, or sad for their loss, or stages we feel uncomfortable with becoming.
Our cycling nature gives us constant teasing tastes of the whole gamut of womanhood, and our life cycle, month after month. It also ensures that we deal with emotions which we might otherwise avoid: anger, sadness, conflict, grief and eroticism.
We are always much more complex, much wiser than we give ourselves credit for, our potential much greater than we dare to hope or dream.

This is interesting! I never gave this a thought, though I agree with you on the part on our culture of worshiping the virgin.
Taylor recently posted..what are smokeless cigarettes -
Ooh, that menstrual chart is useful, thank you!
I have been reading and studying so much lately about the collective unconscious and Jungian archetypes, and have felt so frustrated and bereft that there is very little focus on what archetypes look like in a woman's unconscious. So many myths and unconscious underpinnings of our culture are patriarchal, or at least from a male's perspective. There are representations of women, but always as they relate to the [male] protagonist (usually the ego in Jungian theory). This is a great antidote to that sort of thing.
I am familiar with the Maiden, Mother and Crone but believe it or not, I haven't heard of the Enchantress/Wild Woman. It will be wonderful to read more about all the different aspects of our cycle and to share that with my daughters.
Wow, I love this post and it really resonates with me I am going to peruse The Happy Womb website (like the sound of the menstrual chart) and hope to read this book soon too, sounds like it is full of knowledge. x

I had heard of the virgin, mother and crone but the enchantress is new to me. Very interesting.

Newt Gingrich: Space visionary and future Geek-in-Chief?
Newt Gingrich proposed a US moon base and $1.8 billion in prize money for space innovations. Gingrich spoke Wednesday at Cocoa, Fla., near the Kennedy Space Center.

COCOA, Fla.,
Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich called on Wednesday for a base on the moon and an expanded federal purse for prize money to stimulate private-sector space projects.
"We want Americans to think boldly about the future," Gingrich said during a campaign rally in Florida, where he outlined a space policy initiative that would cut NASA's bureaucracy and expand on private-sector space programs championed by President Barack Obama.
"By the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American," Gingrich said.
RECOMMENDED: Are you a true Geek? Take the quiz.
"We will have commercial near-Earth activities that include science, tourism and manufacturing, because it is in our interest to acquire so much experience in space that we clearly have a capacity that the Chinese and the Russians will never come anywhere close to matching," he said.
Gingrich is locked in a close battle with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney as Florida prepares to vote on Tuesday in the Republican presidential primary. Republicans are seeking a nominee to challenge Democrat Obama in the November election. The rally in Cocoa was just down the road from the Kennedy Space Center.

Gema was a good little slut who got her throat fucked like the filthy whore that she is. She laid on the side of the bed and opened her mouth so that she could take a cock drilled down the back of her throat. She took a good pounding into her mouth and then she was tagged as being a little deepthroated slut as she swallowed down that jizz bomb.
Wanda came in with a cocky little attitude, but she quickly got shut up when she took a dick stuffed down her throat! She swallowed his entire length, balls in. She worked up a sweat choking down his cock and was covered with saliva. Her throat got drilled until he finally shot his wad all over her face and she was completely cum covered!
As cute little Henessy sat on the floor, her throat was drilled into by his big dick. He plunged himself deeply down her throat while she choked it down! Henessy sucked him off while gagging on his big meat and her makeup ran down her face as her eyes welled up with tears! But she loved getting her throat penetrated by such a huge cock and swallowed his cum!
Devon will swallow a cock like a true professional even though she is only an amateur teen. She took a drilling down the back of her throat and kept right up with his strokes as she gagged him down and he still continued to fuck her mouth. Her eyes swelled up with tears from being gagged but she hung right in there as he slammed down her throat.

Effects of Water Fluoridation on Teeth: Dental Fluorosis vs. Tooth Decay
From a risk/benefit perspective, water fluoridation is an unacceptably risky practice -- a fact that is evident even if teeth are the only tissue in the body that one considers. Modern research shows that fluoride ingestion (from water alone, or all sources combined) is far more likely to cause teeth to develop fluorosis than it
New Hampshire Passes First State-Wide Fluoride Warning Law
Beginning August 4, 2012, New Hampshire will require notification that 6-month-olds should not be routinely fed infant formula mixed with fluoridated water to avoid discoloring babies' unerupted teeth (fluorosis), reports the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). Passed by the House, 253-23, unanimously by the Senate, and signed by the Governor, HB-1416 reads:
Some Young Children Get Too Much Fluoride
THE FLUORIDATION of public water systems in the U.S. since 1945 is often hailed as one of the great public-health advances of the century. Today, many children reach adulthood without a single cavity. But now health researchers are questioning whether Americans, particularly children, may have too much fluoride in their diets. The

The Fluorosis Risk: Infant Formula Made with Fluoridated Water
Babies who ingest infant formula made with fluoridated water have a significantly elevated risk of developing dental fluorosis in their permanent teeth. The fluorosis caused by infant exposure will generally appear on the child's front teeth, the teeth most likely to embarrass and cause anxiety for the child if they have fluorosis stains.

For many children, fluoride toothpaste is the largest source of fluoride intake.
