To the Editor:
I was repulsed at the article about the competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi.
In a world where so many people are starving to death and obesity threatens the health of so much of the population, I found this gluttony disgusting.
There has got to be a better way to sell hot dogs and sausage.

China to invest £98 billion in cloud computing
Superpower hopes to build giant Asian data hub
By Anuradha Shukla | MIS Asia | Published 10:45, 14 September 11
China is set to pour £98 billion (US$154 billion) to develop cloud computing hubs, according to Asia's first "Cloud Readiness Index," prepared and published by the Asia Cloud Computing Association.
Although restrictive data protection laws are preventing the building of a global Cloud Computing industry in China, this investment will help the nation improve its index rating in the near future. The Index shows that a large number of cloud service providers are setting up data centres in Hong Kong making it the North Asia data hub.
The South Korean government has also decided to invest US$500m in both public and private sector cloud initiatives, and intends to raise their investment to US$2 billion by 2014.
"Technology has always been a great enabler of opportunity for business, communities and citizens. Cloud technologies offer the potential for lowering technology costs and creating time to market advantages," said Bernie Trudel, chairman of the Asia Cloud Computing Association and Cloud CTO at Cisco APAC. "Additionally, cloud technologies promise to securely democratise data access - and in doing so, create a myriad value-add possibilities across Asia."
Individual challenges in Asian nations
According to Asia's first Cloud Readiness Index, Japan is also posed for significant growth in the future and is ready to maximise the opportunities from cloud computing.
Singapore's Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) and other government agencies understand the significance of the cloud to economic competitiveness but the development of its data protection law will play an important role in realising its regional data hosting ambitions.
India too has to overcome significant challenges to take on a leading role across the region for cloud computing including the quality of its network, broadband and power grid capabilities.
Cloud can drive greater economic value
"I believe Asia's cloud computing potential is poised to grow faster on both sides of the market: as cloud consumers and cloud providers. Because Asia is experiencing such rapid economic growth, it is crucial for all Asian economies to begin to look beyond the opportunities for the cloud for their individual economies and instead begin to analyse how the cloud can help drive greater economic value to the broader region," said John Galligan, vice chairman of the working group and regional director, Internet Policy at Microsoft.
"The knowledge economy will fuel Asia's future and we think that cloud computing is the next great 'leveller' for the region, poised to help accelerate the momentum around trade."

Dodobongo USB Dog: Weird, but Kinda Fun!
You don't have to be a dog lover to fall for the Dodobongo USB toy. You just have to like oddball things that connect to your computer and serve no purpose other than to be rather entertaining. (Kind of like my keyboard, some days...)
Dodobongo, according to his website, is 21, and the slowest-moving dog in the world. This page contains some animations with the Japanese mongrel's backstory.
The Dodobongo USB character performs several feats reals dogs can, and a couple they can't. When a person comes near, he'll bark, move his head, or "run." If you leave him alone for too long, he'll also bark. (No, that wouldn't be annoying when you're trying to take a break from the computer.) Unlike real dogs, he blushes. And if you push a button on his bottom, you instantly access the Dodobongo Channel on your computer. Last time I tried that with my dog, he just looked at me like I was very strange.
The images below tell it all.
If you want to be first in your office to have a Dodobongo USB toy, you'll have to go to Amazon Japan. It's nothing I yen to do, especially since Japanese is Greek to me. But I'm sure Dodobongo will find his way to the US soon -- even if he has to take one very slow step at a time...

Lake Winnipesaukee Museum hosting program on one-room schoolhouses
LACONIA — Lake Winnipesaukee Museum in Weirs Beach is hosting a lecture, "New Hampshire One-Room Rural Schools, The Romance and the Reality," featuring Steve Taylor on Wednesday, July 9, at 7 p.m.
Taylor will talk about the hundreds of one-room schools that dotted the landscape of New Hampshire a century ago and were the backbone of primary education for generations of children. Revered in literature and lore, they actually were beset with problems, some of which are little changed today.
The greatest issue was financing the local school and the vast differences between taxing districts in their ability to support education. Other concerns included teacher preparation and quality, curriculum, discipline, student achievement and community involvement in the educational process. In his presentation Taylor will explore the lasting legacies of the one-room school and how they echo today.
An independent scholar, farmer, journalist and longtime public official, Taylor operates a dairy and maple farm in Meriden Village, and served for a quarter century as the state's Commissioner of Agriculture. He has been a newspaper reporter and editor. He was also the first executive director of the New Hampshire Humanities Council and is a lifelong student the state's rural culture.
This event is free and is made possible by a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council. Lake Winnipesaukee Museum is located on Route 3 in Laconia, next to Funspot. Please call 366-5950 to RSVP.

WinnAero schedules teacher workshops
GILFORD — WinnAero, the Laconia Airport-based non-profit educational organization, has scheduled a new round of teacher workshops.
The five sessions will be dedicated to STEM-related activities around aviation topics and will utilize Civil Air Patrol (CAP) curricula modules.
"These workshops are great for teachers implementing STEM activities in their classrooms but are also for the home schooling parent who wishes to keep abreast of how to use STEM to challenge and educate" said WinnAero Education Director, Dan Caron.
Caron is a high school technology and engineering teacher and has won numerous awards for teaching excellence, including the Civil Air Patrol National Teacher of the Year Award.
The workshop topics include Aircraft Systems & Airports, July 14; Air Environment July 15; Rockets, Aug. 14; Space Environment, Aug. 15; and Spacecraft, Sept. 6.
Workshop participants will receive, if not already a CAP Aerospace Education Member (AEM), a one-year membership. This enables certified teachers to access additional CAP educational materials as well as an opportunity to apply for CAP classroom grants. Workshop sessions are held at the Laconia Airport and the cost per workshop is $50 for non-Civil Air Patrol members and $20 for current CAP AEM members. The registration fee includes all materials, lunch, snacks and the CAP AEM membership.
Check-in is at 8:30 a.m. with adjournment at 3:30 p.m. Workshops may be used for teacher professional development credit as allowed by the sponsoring school district.
Interested teachers may attend any or all of the workshops and professional certification credit may be applied based on the teacher's district policy. Additional details and workshop registration information are on-line at www.winnaero.org.
WinnAero gratefully acknowledges the grant funding from the Wolf Aviation Fund and the Air Force Association which helped to make these teacher workshops available.

Loon Chicks are Hatching Throughout the State
MOULTONBOROUGH — The Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) reports that loon chicks are hatching on lakes around the state just in time for the July 4th holiday, making them more vulnerable to disturbance as human activity increases on the lakes.
If you see an adult loon with chicks please make sure to stay at least 150 feet from them so the parents can concentrate on feeding and caring for their chicks. If the adult shows any signs of distress such as craning its neck low over the water, thrashing about in the water, or vocalizing, give them more space. Newly hatched chicks are small, dark and cannot dive, so please use caution if you are traveling by boat. Boat collisions are the greatest human-related cause of chick mortality and the third highest cause of adult loon mortality after lead poisoning from ingested fishing tackle and injuries from monofilament line or other fishing tackle.
Last year Loon Preservation Committee biologists floated a record number of rafts to help loons nest and protected a record number of nesting pairs with signs and ropeline. They recorded 157 loon chicks hatched but 24% of those chicks did not survive. Studies indicate that a minimum breeding success rate of 0.48 surviving chicks per loon pair is needed to maintain the loon population over the long term, but New Hampshire's loons have achieved that level of breeding success in only two out of the last eight years. LPC biologists are hoping for a more productive breeding season this year for the state-threatened loon population.
"A late ice-out and therefore late start to nesting means that loons will either have very young chicks or still be on the nest over the July 4th weekend" said Harry Vogel, Senior Biologist/Executive Director of the Loon Preservation Committee. "In either case, it's imperative that we give them some space to minimize disturbances at these very vulnerable times in their life cycles."
Loons are a threatened species in New Hampshire and are protected by state and federal laws from hunting or harassment, including following adults with chicks. If you observe harassment of loons, contact the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (603-271-3361) or Marine Patrol (603-293-2037) for assistance. The Loon Preservation Committee would also like to remind everyone to leave your lead tackle at home if you are fishing on the lakes this summer, as lead poisoning from ingested lead tackle is the largest known cause of adult loon mortality in New Hampshire.
The Loon Preservation Committee monitors loons throughout the state as part of its mission to restore and maintain a healthy population of loons in New Hampshire; to monitor the health and productivity of loon populations as sentinels of environmental quality; and to promote a greater understanding of loons and the natural world.

"Spiritual adoption is the excellency and apex of God's salvation." – Joel Beeke
"Adoption is the highest privilege that the gospel offers." – J.I. Packer
"This blessing of grace (that is, of adoption) rises higher than justification." – John L. Dagg
Adoption has always been something I have longed to make a trademark of my life and family. In fact, before I asked Dusti to marry me, I shared with her my desire to adopt children as part of our future family. Having moved to Grace here in Cape Coral, the emphasis of adoption is underscored even further with kids being taken into homes on a regular basis. Just a couple of weeks ago while I was in preparation for teaching on the doctrine of adoption for our Wednesday night Bible study (on Packer's Knowing God), I read Joel Beeke's excellent little book entitled Heirs with Christ: The Puritans on Adoption. Incidentally enough, that book was birthed from Packer's apparent ignorance (believe it or not) on the Puritan literature addressing the doctrine of adoption (which Beeke argues amounts to over 1,200 pages!). I would like to pull a few quotes from Beeke's book for your consideration:
William Perkins:
"At earthly preferments men will stand amazed; but seldome shall you finde a man that is rauished with joy in this, that hee is the childe of God."Jeremiah Burroughs:
"If we did but know what this privilege of adoption is, all the riches of all the kingdoms in the world would be but as filthy dung to us."Richard Sibbes:
"All things are ours by virtue of our adoption because we are Christ's and Christ is God's. There is a world of riches in this, to be sons of God. And what a prerogative is this . . . that we have boldness to appear before God, to call him Father, to open our necessities, to fetch all things needful, to have the ear of the King of heaven and earth, to be favourites in the court of heaven."William a Brakel:
"From being a child of the devil to becoming a child of God, from being a child of wrath to becoming the object of God's favor, from being a child of condemnation to becoming an heir of all the promises and a possessor of all blessings, and to be exalted from the greatest misery to the highest felicity—this is something which exceeds all comprehension and all adoration."Thomas Watson:
"We have enough in us to move God to correct us, but nothing to move him to adopt us, therefore exalt free grace, begin the work of angels here; bless him with your praises who hath blessed you in making you his sons and daughters."
One of the greatest ways to live counter-culturally in our day of rugged individualism where personal ambition and careers eclipse the call to embrace children is the practical application of the doctrine of adoption. If our spiritual adoption is the highest privilege the gospel offers, then a gospel-driven response would be to offer the highest privilege to children with the same love our heavenly Father has bestowed upon us.
Having said all that, I want to direct your attention to the 2008 Together for Adoption Conference coming up this November 1 in Greenville, SC. The registration is minimal, and the line-up looks great. Below are all the conference details. For more information and to register, go here.

Melinda investigates the haunting of a very old house she was initially looking into for it's antiques. She makes contact with Cassidy, the ghost of the daughter of the couple who used to live there. Cassidy is terrified and warns Melinda to stay away. While the family was living there, Cassidy used to fear the ghosts in the house that were making her do things. Because she was sick with Louis Barr syndrome, her parents never took it seriously. Melinda looks deeper into the house and finds that a Madame Greta, in a wheelchair, lived there and used to hold seances to contact the dead and more specifically, ghosts of murderers and those who were falsely accused but still executed. Madame Greta, a ghost herself, is now helping the Shadows, made up of these murderers, collecting the ghosts of young children so they can grow stronger by feeding off their guilt and fear. She won't let Cassidy leave and go into the light, using her to tempt other children's ghosts. Melinda, Eli and Ned try to battle the Shadows to free Cassidy and her ghost friends but they're proving to be a formidable opponent. Delia, who's resisted helping until now, shows up in the nick of time and saves the day.

The Philadelphia Convention Hall and Civic Center, more commonly known as the Philadelphia Civic Center and the Philadelphia Convention Center, formerly known as Municipal Auditorium and the Philadelphia Convention Hall, located in Philadelphia, in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, was a complex of five or more buildings developed out of a series of buildings dedicated to expanding trade which began with the National Export Exhibition in 1899. There were two important buildings on the site. The Commercial Museum, built in 1899, was one of the original exposition buildings. The Municipal Auditorium (Convention Hall), built in 1931, Philip H. Johnson, architect. The site was host to national political conventions in 1900, 1936, 1940 and 1948.
The Convention Hall arena was located at 3400 Civic Center Blvd, on the edge of the campus of the University of Pennsylvania, and just to the southwest of Franklin Field. It was built in 1930 and its highest capacity was approximately 12,000. The building was an Art Deco landmark, notable for its many friezes and other decorative aspects.
Originally known as the Municipal Auditorium, the Convention Hall hosted many events, including the 1936 and 1948 Democratic National Conventions, the 1940 and 1948 Republican National Conventions, and the 1960 NBA All-Star Game. Thus the building earned the name Convention Hall. Pope John Paul II, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela all spoke there, and The Beatles and the Philadelphia Mummers both performed there. The Philadelphia Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers both played many of their games in the arena.
President Lyndon B. Johnson spoke at a campaign appearance on August 29, 1964 at Convention Hall. He appeared at the Hall alongside many notable Philadelphia and Pennsylvania Democratic leaders.[2] Four days later, The Beatles played the venue on September 2, 1964 during their first tour of the United States. Hy Lit booked the band for Philadelphia for $25,000. Tickets went on sale in May 1964 and sold out within 90 minutes.[3] The Rolling Stones played Convention Hall on May 1, 1965 during their third American tour.[4]
After the opening of the Spectrum in South Philadelphia in 1967, the building nearly became obsolete. The Grateful Dead played a two-night stand in August 1974 and a three-night stand in April 1984. On February 5, 1970, The Jackson 5 played their first official concert for Motown Records there. Phish also played once on December 28, 1994, as part of their 1994 NYE run. The building was later used for Atlantic Ten Conference and Big Five basketball games. The NWA and WCW also staged professional wrestling there, which included three pay-per-view events: Halloween Havoc in 1989 and 1992 and the 1994 Slamboree event. The Civic Center also hosted the World Hockey Association's Philadelphia Blazers and the minor-league Philadelphia Firebirds hockey teams. The University of Pennsylvania used the building for commencements (due to it being larger than Penn's own basketball arena, the nearby Palestra), as did Drexel University, Temple University, and La Salle University.
Convention Hall was torn down in 2005, after more than a decade without a regular tenant. The 1996 Atlantic 10 Men's basketball tournament was the last event ever held there (its convention functions were taken over by the Pennsylvania Convention Center in the city's central business district); prior to this, it also hosted college basketball in the form of the 1986 MEAC Men's Basketball Tournament. Afterwards, it served as a soundstage for movies and the TV series Hack starring David Morse. The Championship fight scene for Tommy 'the machine' Gun played by real life boxer Tommy Morrison for the 1990 movie Rocky V was shot there. In 1994 metal band Megadeth played a legendary show with Corrosion of Conformity.
The Auditorium's M.P. Moller 86-rank pipe organ, built in 1931, was removed just prior to the building's demolition and placed in Pennsylvania Hall in temporary storage. In October 2006 the organ was donated to the University of Oklahoma's, American Organ Institute [1] where it will be restored and become the centerpiece of their music programs.
The last remnant of the Civic Center, Pennsylvania Hall (built in 1978), was imploded on March 5, 2007. The University of Pennsylvania Health System's Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine opened on the site in October 2008.

Twitter on Wednesday reported its slowest pace of user growth in recent company history, dimming hopes that the social media phenomenon can sustain its torrid pace of expansion and wiping out nearly a fifth of the companys value in after-hours trading.
The San Francisco company posted better-than-expected fourth-quarter revenue of $243 million in its first results as a public company. But investors focused on the anaemic user growth, as well as a severe decline in timeline views, a measure of user engagement.
Twitter, which held a highly anticipated initial public offering in November at $26 a share, has divided investor opinion in recent months, as shares raced to more than $66 ahead of Wednesdays results despite an absence of news.
Twitters valuation has been predicated in part on the belief it could expand its mainstream appeal and eventually become as ubiquitous as Facebook, which has five times as many users. Some analysts warned that its valuation looked increasingly bloated.
User growth, a closely watched metric, in fact sputtered. Twitter averaged 241 million monthly users in the December quarter, up just 3.8% from the previous three months the lowest rate of quarter-on-quarter growth since Twitter began disclosing user figures.
What this report will do is it will question how mainstream is Twitter as a platform, said Arvind Bhatia, an analyst at Sterne, Agee & Leach. Both in the US and internationally, the monthly active user base did not grow as fast as people thought, and that has an impact on the number of timeline views.
Shares fell sharply after hours on Wednesday to $54, down about 18% from a close of $65.97 on the New York Stock Exchange.
The tumble came as a rude jolt for investors who had bid up Twitter shares to about 30 times projected 2014 sales, based on its Wednesday closing price or more than twice as expensive as Facebook or LinkedIn.

Several stores also have their Halloween candy up on the top shelves and all ready to stock.
I love Outdoor Christmas Lights!!
I have seen Halloween candy displays in most stores, however not decorations. Everything is still "back to school" School here starts the Wednesday after Labor Day, so in about 2 weeks everything will magically morph into Halloween
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
I expect the Halloween decorations to start coming out here in Kentucky in stores in abundance this week. All local schools have now started back, and there was already a little Halloween stuff out last weekend. So excited!
Been thinking about what I want to do for Halloween this year. I know I will decorate -but I would like to do something different. Will also send my daughter a care package at college - lots of Halloween candy!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
It's official...all our stores have Halloween out in full force!
I love Outdoor Christmas Lights!!
autumn is closer then ever
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.
*Seeing isn't believing.Believing is seeing.*
This morning was bright, clear and brisk! Temps in the mid-50's. It sure did FEEL like Fall!!!
I love Outdoor Christmas Lights!!
My neighbor's tree is beginning to shed its leaves already! WOOHOO!!!
I love Outdoor Christmas Lights!!
I love the autumn and the leaves changing color- BUT raking the leaves is another story. Luckily my younger daughter's boyfriend volunteered to help this year. YAY!!! So get ready - You'll hear me start complaining in a month! Maybe this year I'll post "before"photos so you all can get an idea!

The recently fired WWE Superstar Mr. Kennedy (Ken Anderson) is available for future pro wrestling bookings. Promoters interested can email [email protected], although due to his 90-day non-compete clause with WWE he won't be available for use until September 1st.
Speaking of Kennedy, he recently updated his official Twitter account with an entry where he discusses interest in going to school to become a chef. Kennedy claims he's found cooking to be a good stress reliever while he was away from the ring rehabbing his injured shoulder.

Clinical Performance of Cervical Restorations with Desensitizing Agents: 18-month Clinical Trial
Sartori, Neimar / Lopes, Guilherme Carpena / Vieira, Luiz Clovis Cardoso
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical performance and postoperative sensitivity of noncarious Class V restorations with and without the use of a potassium oxalate-based desensitizing agent over a period of 18 months. Materials and Methods: One hundred forty cervical lesions (40 patients) were selected and randomly divided into four groups: group 1 (G1) - teeth restored with the application of a potassium oxalate-based desensitizing agent (BisBlock) after acid etching and before the application of the adhesive Adper Single Bond 2; group 2 (G2) - teeth restored using the same adhesive system used in G1, without the use of any desensitizing agent; group 3 (G3) - similar to G1, but using the adhesive One-Step; group 4 (G4) - similar to G3, but without the application of BisBlock. All restorations were evaluated (double blind) after 1 week and 2, 6, 12, and 18 months according to the modified USPHS criteria. The McNemar and chi-square tests were used to analyze the results (p <= 0.05). Results: There were no statistical differences between groups restored with or without the use of a desensitizing agent for postoperative sensitivity. After 18 months, retention rates proved to be statistically significantly lower for One-Step than Adper Single Bond 2. Conclusion: The use of potassium oxalate-based desensitizing agent did not decrease postoperative sensitivity when it was used under composite resin restorations. Keywords: clinical evaluation, dentin desensitizer, potassium oxalate, dentin hypersensitivity, noncarious cervical lesions

A collaborative effort between me and DJ Rec0il!
This is our second collab together so far, and we're pretty proud of it so far.
(you can find the first one here - http://www.newgrounds.com /audio/listen/210532)
I only provided guitar samples to this, like the first one, but it's definitely worth uploading to both our accounts since newgrounds doesn't allow for multiple artists on a single Audio track.
I hope you guys enjoy listen to this as much as I enjoyed layering those guitars! :D
EDIT: Volume on guitars lowered. Now a perfect mix, thanks Alex! ;)

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Epic piece for an epic movie
Last Battle before the end of universe I know that's cheesy but it's that epic
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Nothing can really describe the immense aura of awesomness in this song. Every insturment fits perfectly, nothing overpowers another. Perfection, nothing less.
PS. I can't help but notice how close this songs name is to my username.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
If I ever make a flash movie [which I am seriously thinking about] may I use a few of your pieces? These are epic, and fit great with the storyline I'm thinking of.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Ever care to collab? Trying to make guitar synths sound like anything but shit being run through a garbage disposal is impossible. THIS, however... THIS sounds amazing.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Rather long intro.
Maybe a lil bit too long intro for my tastes. But as soon as the quitar kicked it, the whole feeling of the song changed dramatically. In a good way of course. :P
Keep it up bud.

Bruce Stebbins is a candidate in the village of Baldwinsville election for mayor. The Baldwinsville Messenger recently interviewed him and here is what he had to say:
Age: 58
Party: Village Party
Address: 31 Sunset Terrace
Family: wife Deborah and two daughters, Sara and Erin
Baldwinsville resident: Lifetime
Political experience:
Village trustee for 15 years
Chair of public works committee for six years
Previous chair of labor relations committee for two years
Member of the public safety committee
Chaired Ad hoc committee for revitalization of parks
Board of Directors for the National Association for Interpretation for five years (national parks, museums, etc.) Currently the organization's treasurer.
Community involvement:
Baldwinsville Rotary Club, president-elect
Current employment:
Director of Beaver Lake Nature Center
Why are you running for mayor?
There is obviously a void with the current mayor stepping down. I feel the village is at a crossroads. I have experience in management and administration. I have proven leadership skills. I believe I will provide the leadership Baldwinsville needs.
What do you see in Baldwinsville's future?
I see a strong and vibrant community. I see growth, not necessarily in population, but in energy; an energy that has been growing over the last 10 years. I see the trail program growing and not only connecting within the village, but providing links beyond the village boundaries. I believe the old Harrington Fire House site will become a useful asset to the community. The village owned property on Lock Street needs to be addressed and brought back into productivity for the community's benefit. Our waterfront is a strong asset and we must continue to maximize access to it for public enjoyment.
What are the biggest issues facing Baldwinsville? How will you tackle these issues?
Consolidation is currently at the forefront. I believe the village should examine the potential values of consolidation and move forward in areas that are beneficial to Baldwinsville. Resolving the Old Harrington Firehouse site. I'm not going to tell people what the solutions should be, but the issue needs to be resolved. Improve parking issues by identifying where parking is available, especially for visitors who are coming into our community. Again, along Lock Street, there are currently several vacant parcels of land owned by the village, an old, filled-in canal, an abandoned DPW garage, the empty town of Lysander building, remains of a treatment plant, a salt bunker and a crumbling glass house. Currently no legitimate use is being made of these structure other than storage of salt and materials. We need to finalize a concept and move forward with it. Whether the area is cleaned up and made into riverside greenspace, converted into a blend of commercial and residential use contributing to the tax base, or a combination of both, action is needed to end the blighted appearance and the wasted money being spent on utility bills for these sites. A perpetual concern with rising taxes and cost containment must be addressed through a continued and constant vigilance of the budget process.

1. Who is eligible to become a Delta Dental participating dentist?
Any dentist licensed under the laws of any state in the United States is encouraged to become a Delta Dental participating dentist.
2. What is the purpose of a Participating Dentist Agreement?
Through the Participating Dentist Agreement, Delta Dental and the dentist work together to provide affordable dental care. While each Delta Dental network has its own unique agreement, some of the common agreement provisions include:
7. Where can I find claims history information on the Delta Dental of Minnesota Web site?
To find information on claims submitted by your office, on the left side of any Web page click on Dentist and select Sign In. Set up a new user account or sign in using your username and password.
Once inside the application, from the Menu page click Subscriber Search and enter your patient's subscriber ID and date of birth to receive the Coverage Summary page. In the upper right side of the screen you will see a link to Claims Inquiry. On the Claims Inquiry page, click the patient's name to see a history of claims and procedures we've processed from your office.
Please note that you will only have access to claims history information from your office.
8. Some employers provide more detailed information than others. Why?
We want the information we post on the web to be as accurate as possible. However, because benefits can vary so much between groups, we sometimes need to generalize to remain accurate.
9. Where can I find the dates a patient is eligible for benefits for a procedure?
Please note that not all group benefits can be displayed on the web.
To access this information, on the top of any Web page click on Dental Professionals under Login to your Account. Set up a new user account or sign in using your username and password.
Once inside the application, from the Menu page click Subscriber Search and enter your patient's subscriber ID and date of birth to receive the Coverage Summary page. If the subscriber's benefits can be displayed on the Web, in the middle on the right side of Coverage Summary you will see a column for Benefits Inquiry. Click the View link.
Once inside the Benefits Inquiry application, select Frequency Limits for Common Services. Here you will find a chart of common procedure codes and billable frequencies. View the patient's claim history to determine whether he or she is eligible to receive the procedure.
10. Where is the patient's address displayed on the Web?
The patient's address is HIPAA-protected information, and therefore is not displayed on our Web site.
11. Where is the claims processing address displayed on the Web site?
To find helpful contact information for a variety of questions, please go to the Contact Us link on any Web page to view phone and address information.
12. Is waiting period information available on the Web site?
Not at this time.
13. Is a listing of reason denial codes available on the Web site?
Not at this time.
14. What is an 835/Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA)?
The 835/Electronic Remittance Advice is an electronic version of the provider Explanation of Benefits (EOB).
15. How will I receive the 835/ERA?
This will be sent to you by the same clearinghouse that you submit your electronic claims to.
16. How will this be loaded into my Practice Management System?
Check with your software vendor to see what capabilities they offer. Some software vendors have the capability of automatically posting this data directly into your accounts receivables. Others may only provide a display image that can be printed and would need to be manually entered.
17. Will I be charged for the 835/ERA?
Check with your clearinghouse and software vendor to determine what, if any, cost there may be for you. Delta Dental of Minnesota does not charge a fee for the 835/ERA.
18. Can I still receive paper?
If you are a Minnesota provider, you must comply with the MN Statute 62J requiring all provider EOBs be electronic. If you need duplicate EOBs, you can obtain a copy by visiting our Web site at http://www.deltadentalmn.org
/ and going to the Claims Inquiry application. You can also contact Customer Service at 1-800-328-1188.
19. Will the 835/ERA differ from paper?
In most areas, the 835/ERA supplies additional information which aids in the automatic posting process. However, the processing policies are more general than what is currently on the paper EOB. If you have trouble with interpreting the processing policies, you can refer to the member's ID card for information to contact Customer Service or a reference to a Web site for access to view the claim online.
20. Can I discontinue the paper EOBs I receive?
Yes, for providers based in Minnesota, please contact Delta Dental of Minnesota in writing to request that the paper EOBs be discontinued. This request should be sent to Professional Services at PO Box 9304, Mpls., MN 55440-9304.

FRISK Software International was an Icelandic software company that developed F-Prot antivirus and F-Prot AVES antivirus and anti-spam service.[1] Its name is derived from the initial letters of the personal name and patronymic of Friðrik Skúlason, its founder. The company was founded in 1993.[1] It was acquired by Commtouch in 2012.
Frisk Software competes in the antivirus industry against Avira, ESET, F-Secure, Kaspersky, McAfee, Panda Security, Sophos and Symantec among others.
F-Prot Antivirus is one of the oldest antivirus products since its creation in 1989. It was the world's first with a heuristic engine.[2] It is sold in both home and corporate packages, of which there are editions for Windows, Linux, and BSD. There are corporate versions for Microsoft Exchange, Solaris, and certain IBM eServers.[3][4] The Linux and BSD versions are available to home users free of charge, with virus definition updates. Free 30-day trial versions for other platforms can be downloaded.
F-Prot AVES is specifically targeted towards corporate users.[5]
The company has also produced a genealogy program called Espólín[6][7] and Púki, a spellchecker with additional features.[8]
In Summer of 2012, FRISK was acquired by Commtouch, an Israeli-American provider of security products. Friðrik Skúlason, joined Commtouch as the vice-president of Antivirus technologies.[9]

F-Prot Antivirus is an antivirus product developed by FRISK Software International. It is available in related versions for several platforms. It is available for Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Exchange Server, Linux, BSD, Solaris, AIX, IBM eServers and *nix.
The scanning engine used by F-prot provides detection capability, heuristics, and low use of the computer's resources. In 1991, F-PROT Antivirus (for DOS) became the world's first heuristic behavior scanner. Although, F-PROT for DOS was discontinued.
FRISK Software International allows to develop applications based on their scanning engine, through the use of a SDK specifically released. Many software vendors use the F-Prot Antivirus engine, including SUSE. Their SDK is known today as the Commtouch Antivirus SDK.
Friðrik Skúlason[edit]
Friðrik Skúlason, also sometimes known as "Frisk", is the founder of FRISK Software International and one of the founding members of CARO (Computer Antivirus Research Organization). He originally developed F-Prot Antivirus while doing computer support work and, subsequently, started the company. He was, for many years, the technical editor of the Virus Bulletin.[10][11]

Gathering at the hearth
During this time period, early humans gathered around campfires that they made and controlled -- perhaps to socialize, to find comfort and warmth, to share food and information, and to find safety from predators. Scientists found this debris from stone toolmaking that had been scorched by fire at the site of Gesher Benot-Ya'aqov, Israel. Close by were concentrations of burned seeds and wood, marking the location of early hearths.

This page sets out your entitlements under UK legislation on maternity leave and pay. Expectant and new mothers may be entitled to maternity leave, and statutory maternity pay, occupational maternity pay or maternity allowance.
New legislation from December 2014 introduced Shared Parental Leave for babies due on or after 5 April 2015. You may wish to consider this new provision, in order to allow your partner to take more leave during the year following the baby's birth. In order to do this, you would have to curtail your maternity leave; you should read ATL's guide to Shared Parental Leave, in conjunction with this maternity guide.
You can also read advice about your responsibilities when going on maternity leave, returning to work and your pension.
ATL offers a special membership package for members who are about to go on maternity leave and/or plan to take a break from teaching in order to raise a family. Please contact the membership department on 020 7782 1602 for further details.
Maternity leave
All expectant and new mothers in employment are entitled to 52 weeks maternity leave. This is irrespective of your length of service with your current employer.
Statutory maternity pay
To qualify for statutory maternity pay (SMP), you must have 26 weeks' continuous service with your current employer by the 15th week before the expected week of childbirth.
SMP is paid for a continuous period of up to 39 weeks. For the first six weeks, you will be paid at 90 per cent of your average weekly earnings. Then, for the remaining 33 weeks you will be paid at the standard rate of £136.78 per week (from 1 April 2013) or 90 per cent of your average weekly earnings if this is lower.
Occupational maternity pay
To qualify for occupational maternity pay (OMP), you must be covered by the Burgundy Book and employed for at least one year and 11 weeks with one or more local authorities by the expected week of childbirth.
OMP is also paid for a continuous period of up to 33 weeks. For the first four weeks, you will be paid at 100 per cent of salary. Weeks 5 - 6 are paid at 90 per cent of salary, and weeks 7 - 18 at 50 per cent of salary plus the standard SMP rate (£136.78 from 1 April 2013). The remaining 21 weeks are paid at the standard SMP rate.
Teachers in Scotland are entitled to the same amount of maternity leave, but they are entitled to 13 weeks at full pay followed by 26 weeks of statutory maternity pay.
For those not employed under Burgundy Book conditions, payments are made as follows:
FE colleges
Members should check their contracts of employment to see if they are entitled to receive any occupational maternity pay. Otherwise, providing they meet the qualifying criteria, members will be entitled to statutory maternity pay only.
Support staff
Members employed under the National Joint Council for Local Government Services National Agreement on Pay and Conditions of Service (known as the 'Green Book') are entitled, providing they have completed 1 year's continuous local government service at the 11th week before the expected week of childbirth, to six weeks at 90% of pay, and, if they declare in writing that they intend to return to work, 12 weeks at 50% of pay. If the employee does not intend to return to work, payments for the remaining 33 weeks will be at statutory maternity pay rate only.
Members not employed under the Green Book (whether they are in the state maintained or independent sectors) should check their contracts of employment to see if they are entitled to receive any occupational maternity pay. Otherwise, providing they meet the qualifying criteria, members will be entitled to statutory maternity pay only.
Independent schools
Members should check their contracts of employment to see if they are entitled to receive any occupational maternity pay. Otherwise, providing they meet the qualifying criteria, members will be entitled to statutory maternity pay only.
Both statutory and occupational maternity pay are treated as earnings and you will pay tax, national insurance and pension contributions on it as appropriate.
Maternity allowance
If you do not qualify for statutory maternity pay, you may qualify for maternity allowance. This is payable if your earnings are at least as much as the earnings threshold of £30.00 per week (as at April 2012) for 26 weeks within the 66 weeks prior to your expected week of childbirth.
Maternity allowance is £135.45 per week (from 1 April 2013) or 90 per cent of your weekly earnings if they are less than £123.10 and should be claimed from your local office of the Department for Work and Pensions.
If employed, your employer should inform you if they are not able to pay you statutory maternity pay and provide you with form MA1 to claim maternity allowance.
Maternity allowance is not taxable or pensionable.
Employment Support Allowance
If you are not eligible for maternity allowance then you may be able to claim Employment Support Allowance (ESA). You should speak to your local office of the Department for Work and Pensions for details of how to claim.
Your responsibilities
There is no statutory requirement for you to inform your employer until 15 weeks before your expected week of childbirth. However, notifying your employer earlier gives more time for a health and safety risk assessment to be carried out.
You may have to inform your employer earlier if you wish to attend antenatal classes, appointments for scans, etc.
You should notify your employer in writing that you are pregnant by the 15th week before your expected week of childbirth. The letter must state the date that you wish to start your maternity leave (you will need to give 28 days' notice if you wish to vary this date). The earliest you can start your maternity leave is 11 weeks before the expected week of childbirth.
You should give your employer a copy of the form MAT B1 (the certificate stating your expected week of childbirth issued by your midwife). It will then write back to you within 28 days confirming the start and end date of your maternity leave.
Your employer must assume that you are going to take your full entitlement to maternity leave. If you start maternity leave on a different date to that in your notification, you should receive confirmation of your expected return-to-work date.
Starting maternity leave
You may start your maternity leave on any day of the week you wish. If your baby is born earlier than the date notified to your employer then your maternity leave will start immediately.
If you are ill with a pregnancy-related illness within four weeks of your expected week of childbirth, your maternity leave will start automatically. If your illness is not related to your pregnancy, you are entitled to remain on sick leave until your original maternity leave start date or your baby is born, whichever is earlier. You will need to provide sick certificates for this entitlement.
During maternity leave, you remain an employee and have the same rights as other members of staff, with the exception of the differences in pay.
Working during maternity leave
Your employer may have a system which allows you to be kept informed formally of developments at work and enables the employer to know how you are getting on with your new baby.
Legislation allows mothers with an expected week of childbirth after 1 April 2007 to return to work for up to 10 days during their maternity leave if they wish. These are known as 'keeping in touch' (KIT) days, and can be used to attend INSET or other continuing professional development (CPD) training.
You should be paid an appropriate daily rate for any work you undertake. If you are still entitled to receive SMP or maternity allowance, you will need to agree with your employer whether any SMP or maternity allowance is deducted. If you decide to undertake work over and above the 10-day limit then any SMP or MA you are entitled to will cease.
If you undertake work for an employer other than the one paying you maternity pay during your paid maternity leave, your entitlement to statutory maternity pay will finish and will not be reinstated.
Returning to work
If you wish to amend your working pattern after maternity leave, please see ATL's factsheet Working part time after maternity.
There is no requirement for you to inform your employer if you return on the date agreed at the start of your maternity leave. If you wish to return before this date or vary your date of return, you will need to write to your employer giving at least four weeks' notice (eight weeks for those not covered by the Burgundy Book, but you should check with your employer).
If you are ill at the end of your maternity leave you are entitled to sick leave provided you have a medical certificate from your GP. If you wish to return to work during a school closure period, you should get a certificate from your GP which states that you are fit to return to work on that date.
If you have received occupational maternity pay under the Burgundy Book conditions, you are required to return to your previous employer for a total of 13 weeks full-time service (or part-time equivalent) to retain the portion of maternity pay paid at 50 per cent of salary. School holidays and sickness are included in this period. If you were a full-time teacher and return on a part-time basis, you will need to work the equivalent of 13 full weeks.
If you return to work after ordinary maternity leave (first 26 weeks) on your previous contract you must be returned to your old job. If you return to work after additional maternity leave (second 26 weeks) you may either be returned to your original role or your employer may decide to employ you in a similar role after discussion with you. This must not be on a lower salary or with reduced responsibility.
It is possible that your employer may offer you an alternative role until the start of the next academic year or term. You will need to consider whether you think this is reasonable - please contact ATL if you believe the offer is unreasonable.
Resigning your post
If you wish to resign your post whilst on maternity leave you are still subject to the normal notice provisions. In the maintained sector the resignation dates are:
two months' notice to be received by 28 February to leave at 30 April
three months' notice to be received by 31 May to leave at 31 August
two months' notice to be received by 31 October to leave at 31 December.
Teachers' Pension Scheme
While you are on paid maternity leave you will be credited with service in the Teachers' Pension Scheme providing you earn at least 50 per cent of your normal salary or you are in receipt of SMP. You will pay your contribution based on what you actually earn but the percentage you pay will be based on your normal full-time equivalent salary. When your paid maternity leave ends you will no longer be in pensionable service. If you are on unpaid maternity or adoption leave you are counted as being in pensionable service for purposes of the death grant only.
If you remain out of pensionable service for more than five years, when you return to teaching you will join the revised pension scheme. This means that all service credited after your return will have a retirement age of 65 years and you will receive a pension based on the length of service in the revised scheme and one sixtieth of your pensionable salary.
You may claim any pension based on previous service from age 60, and you will be entitled to a pension based on your length of service and one eightieth of your pensionable salary and a tax-free lump sum of three eightieths of your pensionable salary for each year of service.
Further education agreements
ATL and the national employers' body (the Association of Colleges) have agreed national guideline agreements which establish recommended minimum standards for colleges and FE institution for maternity, paternity, parental and adoption leave.
Need further advice?
Your first point of contact is your ATL rep in your school or college. Your local ATL branch is also available to help with queries, or you can contact ATL's member advisors on tel: 020 7930 6441 or email us. Please have your membership number to hand when telephoning and include it with any correspondence - this will help us to answer your query more quickly.

NYSE sent a letter to TPM claiming that the photograph accompanying that original TPM story violated NYSE Group's "Registered Trademarks." This is... um, hogwash I think is the polite term. First of all, a trademark isn't a copyright. To violate a trademark is to create confusion about the mark and anyone who thinks the TPM story was published or endorsed or paid for by NYSE is on crack. The use of the photo with that story isn't going to confuse anyone about what NYSE does, another purpose of a trademark.
This is pure legal FUD, and shame on NYSE's lawyers for it. (h/t to Volokh Conspiracy for the original pointer.)
(Full disclosure: I work for a company in the financial industry; as such I'm prohibited from trading in certain instruments related to the financial industry. The company I work for does send lots of order flow to NYSE and we have products and corporate agreements in conjunction with them. I've even partied on the NYSE trading floor, once. If any of that constitutes conflict of interest, well now you know about it too.)

I think the angle that they're gunning for is tarnishment of their trademark and the mark they're claiming infringed is "Conducting a securities exchange and related stock market services." Even if there were a valid claim here this mark might even be invalidated as generic.
Claiming any sort of market confusion I would think is DOA. Claiming tarnishment is a dead letter also - 15 USC 1125 explicitly excludes news and commentary from uses that would give raise to a claim of tarnishment.
This is just a case of sabre-rattling bullies overreaching.

I did not have to pay sales tax in RI, since they have none on boats. I do pay $300 per year in registration fees instead. Of course, it will be roughly 100 years before that breaks even.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
