Dental Hygienist Training in Massachusetts with School Information
Research dental hygienist training in Massachusetts, which currently has eight schools offering these programs. Read overviews of the degree programs and get some quick facts for two schools to decide which program is right for you.
Massachusetts Training for Dental Hygienists
Dental hygienists must be licensed, which requires them to have at least an associate degree from an accredited program and pass any state-mandated exams. The following two Massachusetts schools offer dental hygiene programs accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation. Learn more about the schools, the various levels of programs offered and the clinical requirements meant to provide practical experience. Additionally, you can find more information about the featured schools in the table at the end of this article.
- Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences is located in the large city of Boston and offers bachelor's degrees in dental hygiene, in addition to a master's degree for those professionals who wish to pursue leadership positions.
- Springfield Technical Community College, which is positioned in the midsized city of Springfield, offers an associate degree program for dental hygienists.
Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences
The Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) offers certificate and degree programs in over 30 health-related fields. Graduates of the dental hygiene B.S. programs are eligible to apply for national and regional certification as hygienists in Massachusetts or another U.S. state.
Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene
MCPHS offers an accelerated bachelor's degree in dental hygiene that allows students to complete coursework and attain certification in three years. The program contains academic and clinical components, covering general and scientific education, training in dental hygiene and pain management and hands-on work with patients. Students gain hands-on experience by working with patients in the Esther M. Wilkins Dental Hygiene Clinic.
Postbaccalaureate Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene
Students who already hold a bachelor's degree and want to transition to dental hygienist work can enroll in MCPHS's postbaccalaureate program, which bypasses the B.S. program's general education requirements and can be completed in 16 months. Like the B.S. program, the postbaccalaureate program contains strong clinical components.
Master of Community Oral Health
Practicing dental hygienists can apply for a part-time, online master's program in community oral health. Students complete coursework in public health, epidemiology and health management, and undertake a case study project that serves as a master's thesis. Graduates often pursue leadership roles in health administration, dental product marketing and health research agencies.
Springfield Technical Community College
Located in western Massachusetts, Springfield Technical Community College (STCC) offers vocational training in a variety of professional and technical fields, including dental hygiene. Graduates can apply for licensure in any U.S. state, or transfer their credits to a 4-year university to pursue a baccalaureate degree. Academic advisors are available to assist with career placement services and educational transfers.
Associate in Science in Dental Hygiene
STCC's School of Health offers a 2-year associate degree program that teaches students how to administer oral care services and educate patients about dental health. Students study anatomy, chemistry, psychology and communications, and take hands-on courses in clinical dental hygiene practice. Graduates take the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination in their final semester; graduates may then pursue licensure in any U.S. state.

February 2, 2015 - Colorful. Sturdy. Cannot wait for spring to hang some tuberous begonias from it. It is lined also.
September 29, 2014 - I just love this planter. It's pretty and it keeps my palm tree out of my cats way.
September 25, 2012 - It's only been hanging outside for 2 weeks and the hook is already completely rusted. Also, the strands that hold it for hanging look like they'll break in no time. But I do like the idea and the basket itself is very nice. I'll just have to change the hanging part of it to something more sturdy. For $10, it should have been sturdier, IMHO.
Artisan: Noah's Ark
In the 1980s there were no fair trade opportunities for local artisans in Moradabad, India. Skilled craftspeople were routinely taken advantage of by export companies operating in the area, and living wages were nearly impossible to come by. Local businessman Samuel Masih saw an opportunity to build a business that would reward artisans with fair wages while exporting beautiful handicrafts. He started Noah's Ark in his home in 1986 with the goal of creating new economic opportunity in the community.
Two years later, Noah's Ark entered the world stage with its first large order from a florist in the U.S. Soon other large orders began flooding in, attracting the attention of the Tear Fund, Artisanat-SEL, Goed Werk, TEAM, and Oxfam Australia, which contributed to even more growth. Today, Noah's Ark works with more than 100 artisan groups involving more than 600 people in Moradabad, Saharanpur, Nagina, Jaipur, Sari Tarin, Delhi, Hapur, Firozabad and Amritsar, paying 10-15% more than other companies in those areas. In 2000, the Noah's Handicrafts and Welfare Society was founded to benefit artisan welfare, children's education, community development, and social work.
Artisan Anwar Saleem, age 27, is a second-generation lantern and lamp maker. His parents died when he was only 18, leaving him responsible for his three younger siblings. He went to work for his uncle, learning the craft of coloring and lacquering lanterns. Unfortunately, his uncle was unable to pay him a living wage and the family suffered. After a couple of years, Anwar was able find employment with Noah's Ark. The fair wages Anwar received turned his family's life around. As he explains, "While working directly with Noah's Ark I was able to save good enough money to do my family responsibilities, then they encouraged me to do some manufacturing work from my home. I got married and also I was able to do marriages of my sisters." Anwar now has his own workshop with seven regular employees and 15 contracted artisans.

Wow, the noise free clarity @ISO1600 is amazing. I wound not hesitate to use ISO1600 any time. A little drawback is its slow Lens end: f5.8. The background is still pretty "sharp". With an f4 it would have a little more background blur.
Well, you have to make compromises.
It is a great new compact Camera! It's on my wish list!
Getting very close. Would be nice to have f4 on the long end of the Zoom. With all the rest I can easily live. And how sharp will this the lens be? Keeping up with good EF Lenses, might be a dream since these lenses alone cost more than this camera.
Nevertheless it seems like a nice "compact" camera with supposing good IQ. Sure not as compact as the S95, but I was not really satisfied with the S95 image quality. Fixed Zoom is fine. Though, I'd also like a fast fixed prime ... I am not calling for an interchargeble version because a new mount would make it bigger again ... Well, can not have everything ... Or Canon makes multible GnX versions ... One with Zoom, one with prime ... Getting faded away ...
texviddy: Image stabilization???
The camera does not have image stabilisation. It's listed on the specs. The lenses may have, doubt thes 3 primes do ...
Looks indeed really nice. The 50mm eqv. f1.4 is sweet. But the price is insane 1700 + 650 bugs = 2350!! A nice little Zoom as addition would be welcome too, but yet another 650++ bugs …
Questions to be answered about AF speed and Image quality in real.
But definitely too expensive for me, sadly …

Link-shortening service Bit.ly is the latest company to suffer a security breach, and the company is warning users to take action immediately.
Bit.ly, which lets users shorten links and track readership, said in an "urgent security update" Thursday that it believes users' information was compromised.
Users' email addresses and encrypted passwords, as well as authentication keys, were potentially compromised in the breach, Bit.ly said.
All users should change the information in their account: update their authentication keys, reset passwords and reconnect Facebook and Twitter accounts (which Bit.ly has already disconnected from all users' accounts as as a precautionary measure).
The company's blog post includes step-by-step instructions to change the authentication information. Bit.ly also said it has "no indication at this time that any accounts have been accessed without permission."
Bit.ly's post did not include information about how the breach happened. The company said it has "already taken proactive measures to secure all paths that led to the compromise and ensure the security of all user data going forward."
In addition to the blog post -- which Bit.ly updated twice with more information between Thursday night and Friday morning -- the company also pinned a warning to the top of its website and its Twitter page.

The Outreach and Education function engages, empowers and educates the Second District communities that the Bank serves, especially civic leaders, students, educators, small business owners, policymakers and the general public. It furthers the Bank's commitment to the region by listening to the communities we serve and leveraging our unique attributes to positively impact school and university programs, as well as analysis and research.

While there is a rich literature that investigates whether accountability regimes induce schools to manipulate their test-taking population by strategically excluding weaker students, no study thus far investigates whether voucher programs induce schools to engage in similar strategic behavior. This paper analyzes a Florida program that embedded vouchers in an accountability regime. Specifically, it investigates whether the threat of vouchers and the stigma associated with the Florida program induced schools to strategically manipulate their test-taking population. Under Florida rules, scores of students in several special-education and limited-English-proficient (LEP) categories were not included in the computation of school grades. Did this rule induce the threatened schools to reclassify some of their weaker students into these "excluded" categories so as to remove them from the effective test-taking pool? Using a regression discontinuity strategy, I find evidence in favor of strategic reclassification into the excluded LEP category in high-stakes grade 4 and entry-grade 3. In contrast, I find no evidence that the program led to reclassification into excluded special-education categories, which is consistent with the substantial costs of classifying into special-education categories during this period. These findings have important policy implications.

World Sacred Music Festival
The World Festival of Sacred Music (Festival des Musiques Sacrées du Monde) brings together performers from every corner of our planet for a week of artistic show in Fes, Morocco's ancient holy city. It was first held in 1994.
Los Angeles[edit]
The World Festival of Sacred Music-Los Angeles is a citywide festival that takes place in Los Angeles once every three years. It is a sixteen-day celebration of the rich sacred music and movement traditions of the people of Los Angeles, with 40 events produced in 40 diverse venues ranging from the city's major stages to intimate places of worship.
The Festival was initiated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 1999 as part of an unprecedented celebration of the human spirit. The Festival is a largely volunteer and grassroots effort based on the intention to utilize the arts festival model to build genuine community cooperation and understanding.
The World Sacred Music Festival in Olympia, Washington, USA began in 2005, inspired by the Fez Festival and other sacred music festivals. Sponsored by the non-profit organization Interfaith Works, the World Sacred Music Festival features regional and international artists from a wide variety of ethnicities and spiritual traditions. In 2005 it was a two-day festival and from 2006-2009 it was a single-day festival. In 2010 the festival began presenting quarterly sacred music events.

ELIDA — Sarah Burden stood at the door of her new school Tuesday morning. The Elida High School principal greeted students and answered their questions. In some ways it was no different than any other first day of school. But in one way, it couldn't be any different."Now we are finally here and it is just surreal," Burden said.Tuesday marked the first day of school at the new 169,000-square-foot building, located west of the middle school near Baxter and North streets. And aside from a few turns down a wrong hallway, students and staff were all smiles."It's a hectic experience the first day. You don't really know where you are going, but it is nice. It it beautiful. I love it," junior Anthony Sumpter said."It is a nice change from the old building," said sophomore Andrea Stocker, who added that the new technology afforded by the building is a welcome to students. "I think it is going to get us more interactive, more onto our level with what we are used to."Voters approved a bond issue in 2008 to support the $39.75 million project. It took three tries to get it passed. The former 95-year-old building is being demolished, and after spending a day at the new high school, won't be missed much by too many."The old school had a little character and I miss part of it, but you can't beat this new school. It is really nice," said Mark Thompson, who teaches health and physical education.Highlights of the new building include the 670-seat auditorium, a 1,200-seat gymnasium, an auxiliary gym, media center with computer lab, an outside practice field for the marching band, geothermal heating and cooling and air handlers that circulate fresh air."The old school is just old," Sumpter said. "We are just tired of it, and it is superhot. There is air conditioning here."The auditorium is getting a lot of praise, especially considering it is a first for the school. The old "makeshift" auditorium was the gymnasium. Sumpter and Stocker both sing in the choir and say performing in the auditorium will be a lot better than at the old school.The auditorium and music areas are what stands out for Burden."They are just so much different from what they were at the old high school," she said. "So much more spacious, so many more opportunities for those kids."Thompson started his 30th year teaching Tuesday. Being in his new home was almost hard to believe."I really didn't think I would ever be in a new building. I just didn't see it happening," he said. "I'm glad I was able to be around to be part of it. ... "This is going to be a great learning environment for our students."An open house at the new building will be from at 1 to 5 p.m. Sept. 25. The dedication will begin at 2 p.m. A grand opening for the auditorium is set for 2 p.m. Oct. 9.

So disappointed with this
By Kmac
from Highlands
About Me Midrange Shopper
Best Uses
Basically, this is rubbish. For the price I paid, I expected something which wasn't falling apart as soon as it came out of the box ... Door hanging off and door slats broken. I was so looking forward to having this in my new bathroom. Should've gone with my gut instinct and not bothered. And still waiting for refund.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Brutally hard miles and 3k oil changes? You either went too far on that oil or have a completely different definition of brutally hard than many others. I've ridden over 2k on a RFS KTM without an oil change and I've ridden 100 miles on the same bike where I knew I had to change the oil before riding it again.
Being on a CRF250L or a WR250R does not change the abuse the oil would take. Been there BTW with a WR250R.
Brutal riding IMO includes extreme heat, severe clutch slipping and very low speeds with high drag, like deep mud or sand and nasty hills, if you are even moving at all. It doesn't matter what bike you ride, if you are "brutally" riding it the slipping clutch plates contaminate the oil, the heat bakes it and the stress will just destroy it. How many times in that 6k did your bike boil over? How many times do you need to adjust the overheated clutch?
And the higher performance bike would be less stressed in that enviornment. It was designed for that. These bikes not so much.
This is why it is important to know who is writing a post and how they ride.

30 tortured bodies found in Damascus
BEIRUT–Thirty tortured and disfigured bodies have been found in the northern Damascus neighborhood of Barzeh, the scene of regular clashes between regime troops and rebels, a watchdog said on Monday.
"Thirty bodies were found in the Barzeh district. They bore signs of torture and have so far not been identified," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on medics and activists on the ground in compiling its tolls.
The Syrian Revolution General Commission, a grassroots network of anti-regime activists, estimated that there were 50 bodies, adding that "their heads were cut and disfigured to the point that it was no longer possible to identify" them.
These reports could not be verified independently because of restrictions on the international media by the Syrian authorities.
The gruesome discovery was made on Sunday, the day UN and Arab League peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said he has a plan to end the conflict that could be acceptable to world powers.
The Syrian conflict, which erupted in March 2011, has claimed more than 45,000 lives, according to Observatory estimates.
On Sunday itself 160 people were killed nationwide — 78 civilians, 41 soldiers and 41 revels, the Observatory said.

Jeffrey Brown explores comedy, politics, and the tales of romantic anguish that are his bread and butter in this collection of odds and sods.
48 pgs. B&W; $5
(W / A: Jeffrey Brown)
Jeffrey Brown's collection of cast-offs and B-sides, Feeble Attempts, is pretty much three kinds of work: funny, clever stuff; understandably aborted crap; and the adolescent boy-girl relationship tales that are his stock-in-trade.
"My Conspiracy to Not Sell You the New Garden State DVD" is a great account of dealing with an ultra-rude customer at a big box CD/DVD store where Brown apparently worked. In a surly performance, the customer demands a variety of crappy albums and videos while accusing Brown of acting like a snot. "Actually, Ma'am," he responds, "you're kind of a snot." For anyone who's worked retail, it's priceless. In "Don't Read the Yellow Paper," Brown the newspaper-delivery boy watches a woman lead her dog to a fresh pile of newspapers he is just about to pick up. He is rendered speechless as the woman encourages the dog to piss on them, which it does. It's a casual moment of fuck-offery that makes you nod in sympathy for the poor schmuck who has to clean it up (i.e., Brown). In "Cycloctopus," a superhero is humiliated every which way by a supervillain. The shame mounts, becoming a kind of glorious achievement, especially when the good guy loses the day. It's only Brown's "beautiful loser" tone dressed up in spandex, if you think about it.
The weaker strips, on the other hand, often end on an anti-climactic note that feels lazy. Some of them have the sort of slice-of-life banality that Harvey Pekar made his following with, minus the rumpled Pekar charm, which pretty much leaves banality. It seems that when Brown has a dearth of ideas, he draws his day-to-day affair: meals, trips to the coffee shop or the record store, and even the drawing sessions themselves. Sometimes the "anti-adventure" is quietly moving. Sometimes it's merely quiet.
"I'm Not Your Girlfriend, Jeffrey" is what the fans want, and it's Brown doing what he does best: capturing the melodrama of his romantic dalliances. He wants her, but she's not sure if she wants him. He wants her, but does he really want her. Etc., etc., etc. A hundred years from now, confused adolescents—and older types who see the amusing aspect of all this delicious pain—will still be discovering Brown's be-still-my-heart love comics and swooning in simpatico. Maybe at this point Brown himself is tired of churning out letters-from-a-broken-heart; he's been at it for ages. If that's the case, well, tough titty—his comedy is sharp, but it just can't cut as deeply as his love stories.
There is another category of work here, too: political strips. A 9/11 comic captures the emotions of the day, when the banality of the nightly news was effectively shattered by the surreal images of the Twin Towers burning and collapsing. Other political strips read like tepid jabs at the conservatives. It's not Brown's métier.
For five bucks, this collection of Jeffrey Brown odds and ends is worth it. Yeah, some of it is "feeble," but let's cut the modesty. There's a reason why an extended strip of his made it into the just-published, prestigious Best American Comics 2007 anthology. He's got juice. | Byron Kerman

Average Restaurant Owners in the United States make around $58K per year. Total cash compensation to Restaurant Owners approaches anywhere from $25K on the lower end to $145K on the higher end; in exceptional cases, this can include more than $20K from bonuses and upwards of $119K from profit sharing. More than two-fifths report receiving medical coverage from their employers and slightly less than a third collect dental insurance. Job satisfaction is high and work is enjoyable for most Restaurant Owners. Restaurant Owners who participated in the survey are largely men, dominating at 65 percent. The figures in this rundown are based on the results of PayScale's salary questionnaire.

The owner/operator of a restaurant is typically the top manager of either a privately owned or franchised location. He or she normally supervises middle managers to ensure that the restaurant meets quality and safety standards. The owner/operator also helps ensure accounting and bookkeeping is performed accurately. Additionally, they oversee day-to-day operations, interacting with staff and guests.Read More...
The owner/operator sets up the business plan for the restaurant, which includes establishing operation standards in all areas, from purchasing to sanitation to culinary execution to service. He or she typically has a chef and/or general manager who are direct reports. These personnel typically provide input into standards and are tasked with executing them. They work with the owner/operator to ensure that other supervisory personnel are properly trained and that all systems in the restaurant assist in facilitating the owner/operator's goals.
The owner/operator must pay close attention to the restaurant's profit and loss statements. He or she must be skilled at analyzing fixed and discretionary costs to help ensure the profitability of the location. The owner/operator also ensures that accounts payable and receivable are handled efficiently, typically through a dedicated accountant or bookkeeper.
Finally, as a visible presence within his or her own restaurant, the owner/operator typically spends time visiting and greeting guests and inquiring about their experience. He or she also does the same with hourly employees and observes areas where management can find opportunities to increase workers' abilities.
To work as an owner/operator, a person typically must have extensive restaurant management experience. It typically is a self-employed entrepreneurial situation, but managerial experience in the hospitality field is strongly recommended. An owner/operator typically works long hours during the week and weekends to help ensure their establishment runs smoothly and profitably.

Restaurant Owners may not see large compensation differences if they transition into an upper-level role such as Food and Beverage Director. Food and Beverage Directors on average make about as much as Restaurant Owners do. Restaurant Owners most often move into Restaurant General Manager or Restaurant Manager roles. However, the former pays $15K less on average, and the latter pays $22K less.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $50K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $64K. For Restaurant Owners, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $62K. Old hands who claim more than two decades on the job enjoy average earnings of $74K.

LIMA – For Spencerville junior Logan Vandemark, shoving a bigger opponent around comes natural.
At 5-foot-11 and 240 pounds, Vandemark is considered by many as an undersized heavyweight wrestler.
Vandemark, who also plays on the defensive line for the Spencerville football team, has learned to overcome the size difference.
At Saturday's finals of the Division III sectional wrestling tournament at Lima Central Catholic, Vandemark used his quickness and strength to pin Delphos St. John's Nate Schroeder to win the sectional title in the 285-pound weight class. After this weekend's tournament, Vandemark's record this season is 32-3.
What's even more impressive with Vandemark's performance this season is that he took a year off from wrestling.
"Last year, I had to take the year off, coming out of injuries during football," Vandemark said. "I'm glad to be back out this year."
Vandemark did, however, wrestle his freshman year. The taste of success during his freshman season fueled his desire to come out strong this year.
"My freshman year when I wrestled, I came out of here in fourth (place)," Vandemark said. "This year, I'm glad I got first place. I worked really hard, and it paid off for me."
His freshman year, Vandemark finished sixth at the district tournament.
According to Vandemark, being a defensive lineman has helped give him the tools he needs to overcome the size disadvantage he usually has on the wrestling mat.
"Playing on the defensive line, you have to learn how to move those big people. I think that really helps (in wrestling)," Vandemark said. "It's a little bit of a weight advantage for them, but being in the weight room helps a lot and it really pays off in the end."
The top four placers in each weight class at Saturday's sectional tournament advance to next weekend's Division III district tournament at Troy's Hobart Arena. Then, the top four placers at Troy will compete at the state wrestling tournament on Feb. 27, 28 and March 1 at Ohio State.
In the final team scores Saturday, Coldwater notched the sectional title, defeating second-place Wayne Trace 220.5-167.5. St. John's finished a close third (160.5), while Spencerville came in fourth (138). There were 13 teams in the sectional tournament.
Coldwater put six wrestlers in the championship round and came out with four champions. Jay Uhlenhake (113), Spencer Seibert (126), Landon Schlater (132) and Justin Post (220) all notched sectional crowns for Coldwater.
Uhlenhake (41-8), a sophomore, defeated Wayne Trace's Dustin Taylor in the championship bout, 2-0.
"I wanted to get the take down at the beginning, but once I didn't I knew I had to work the bottom," Uhlenhake said. "My goal ever since last year was to make it to state. Hopefully, getting first here will give me a good draw next week."
LCC junior Jack Huffman won the title at 195 on Saturday. Huffman decisioned Ada's Jarod Woodland in the championship match, 8-0. This past week, Huffman also recorded his 100th career victory. He was recognized for this milestone during Friday's first-round action of the sectional tournament.
Last season, Huffman made it to the districts, but finished sixth. This time around Huffman is focused on getting to the state tournament.
"I try to keep focused on what I'm doing and try to block out all of the hype about districts and getting out for state, because everybody wants to get down to Columbus," Huffman said. "I just want to keep doing what I do and keep the mind right and be ready to go when the time comes."
Other sectional champions Saturday included Wayne Trace's George Clemens (106), Ruger Goeltzenleuchter (113) and Tyler Showalter (145); St. John's Justin Siefker (138), Austin Martin (152) and Wes Buettner (170); Ada's Austin Windle (160) and Delphos Jefferson's Tyler Foust (182).
Division II Sectional
at Millbury Lake
Ottawa-Glandorf competed at the Division III sectional at Millbury Lake this weekend. As a team, O-G finished seventh.
O-G's Derek Ebbeskotte won the sectional title at 195.
Those also advancing to next weekend's district tournament for the Titans included Logan Balbaugh (fourth, 113), Ajan Brown (fourth, 126), Jeremy Gibson (fourth, 170) and Shaun Gibson (fourth, 285).
Division II Sectional
at Bowling Green
The Division II sectional at Bowling Green State University on Saturday was divided into two sectionals – North and South.
In the South Sectional, Defiance had the best local team performance, finishing third. Wapakoneta came in fifth, while Bath was sixth.
The following local wrestlers won sectional titles Saturday; Shawnee's Hunter Lucas (106), Bath's Colin Ingram (120) and Wapakoneta's Heath Newman (170).
Other local athletes advancing to next weekend's district tournament at BGSU are Bath's Tre Wheeler (second, 132) and Kyle Lhamon (fourth, 220); Shawnee's Derek Kuhlman (second, 145) and Dylan Hefner (third, 182); Wapakoneta's Dallas Ambos (fourth, 145), Landon Hall (fourth, 182) and Colton Brown (third, 195); Kenton's Sylas Smith (fourth, 195); St. Marys' Jaden Hietkamp (second, 160).
In the North Sectional, there were just two local teams that competed. Celina finished 10th and Elida came in 12th. There were no local champions in the North Sectional.
Local wrestlers that finished in the top four and advanced to districts included Elida's Blaine Hunter (third, 113) and Tyler Smith (second, 195); Celina's Andy Garwood (fourth, 145) and Kevin Lockwood (fourth, 220).
Lima Senior
wrestlers advance
Lima Senior finished ninth at this weekend's Division I sectional at Mansfield.
Those advancing to next weekend's district tournament at Cleveland State University for Lima Senior included Chris Proby (third, 152) and Terrence Minor (fourth, 220).

HUNTINGTON BEACH – Jeff Jensen and his wife have lived in the same home on a quiet and quaint street for 21 years. But this summer, the neighborhood has been turned upside down by its newest residents: a pack of coyotes.
Jensen and his neighbors have spotted packs of the animals wandering through their yards and snatching their pets.
The past several months, encounters have been on the rise. In September 2011, the Huntington Beach Police Department received 16 calls reporting coyote sightings and encounters, and this September, the number increased to 27, police Lt. Steve Bushhousen said.
"There seems to be an imbalance now... there's too many coyotes," Jensen said. "This is their playground. Every night and every morning I hear them or see them. All along the sides of the fence in my backyard is covered with their paw prints."
Jensen lives beside a flood-control channel, where a pack of six to eight coyotes made a den. A six-foot tall fence separates his yard from the channel, but this would hardly be an obstacle for the coyotes. Jensen said the animals have come within 10 feet of him, and though he doesn't feel threatened, his wife fears the coyotes will jump the fence and maul him.
Ryan Drabek, director of OC Animal Care, said that while reported sightings have increased countywide, there's no record of increase in coyote population.
"These numbers reflect residents that contacted us to let us know that they saw a coyote in the street, in a riverbed, or at a park," Drabek said. "But� unfortunately, it may not give an accurate idea of the number of coyotes, given that we may receive numerous calls on one coyote."
Various sightings and aggressive encounters have occurred at Huntington Beach Central Park since as early as 2009, and the city this week will install warning signs adjacent park parking lots.
The decision to post signs at Central Park was based upon requests from the public, said David Dominguez, facilities, concessions and development manager of the city's community services department. The signs will be posted below the park ordinance signs and will provide safety tips.
"These areas are often breeding grounds for prey animals," Dominguez said. "Coyotes are found in areas of the city other than parks, but the information on the (city) webpage is intended to make residents aware of the presence of coyotes in various urban areas."
In late April, Jensen found a litter of coyote pups being raised in the wash beside his backyard. Now full-grown, the animals are regularly spotted wandering the neighborhood, jumping the flood-control fences and making themselves at home.
Chris Lowe, a resident of Huntington Beach for 15 years, was unaware of the coyote issue until his two Chihuahuas were killed in the spring.
"The (dogs) would always run up to the door when we got home, and it was odd that they weren't there to greet us," Lowe said. "I went and looked in the backyard, and I saw them both lying there dead, all torn open."
The attack played a major role in Lowe's decision to move his family out of Huntington Beach in August to an area where he feels the predators are less of a threat to his 6-year-old daughter and new pets. Lowe said he called every government agency he could think of, but nothing was done.
In August, while another couple was walking its two small dogs on leashes in Central Park, a trio of coyotes appeared. One of the coyotes attacked the dog and ran away with it.
After the attack, the city held a seminar, "Living With Coyotes," which was attended by more than 300 people. The presentation, conducted by a wildlife specialist from the Humane Society, aimed to educate residents on how to coexist with coyotes and provide tips to avoid encounters.
Residents continue to experience aggressive encounters.

Updated Asteroid 'Impact Calculator' Unveiled
Scientists at Purdue University and Imperial College London have revised their popular "ËœImpact Effects Calculator', which allows anyone to calculate the potential damage a comet or asteroid would cause if it collided with the Earth.
The interactive tool, available at http://www.purdue.edu/impactearth, lets users enter in specific details about the hypothetical impactor, such as its diameter and density, velocity, angle of entry and where it will hit the Earth. It then estimates the scale of the ensuing catastrophe, including details about the size of the crater left behind, ground shaking, size of the tsunami generated, distribution of debris, and even how far away a person would need to be to avoid being buried or set ablaze in the blast.
"Comets and asteroids have become a part of our popular culture, but we don't really know a lot about their composition and internal processes as they fly through space," said Jay Melosh, a distinguished professor of earth and atmospheric sciences and physics at Purdue University, who led the creation of the program.
"We have much more to learn about these objects that are often our closest neighbors in space. We do know that sometimes they enter into a collision course with the Earth, and this site offers an authoritative place to go to learn about the detailed effects of an impact," Melosh said in a statement on the Purdue web site.
The impact effects calculator is scientifically accurate enough to be used by homeland security and NASA, but user-friendly and visual enough for elementary school students, said Melosh, an expert in impact cratering.
"The site is intended for a broad global audience because an impact is an inevitable aspect of life on this planet and literally everyone on Earth should be interested."
"There have been big impacts in the past, and we expect big impacts in the future. This site gives the lowdown on what happens when such an impact occurs," he said, adding that 100 tons of material from asteroids and comets strike the Earth every day.
In fact, even fragments as large as a car hurtle toward the planet a few times each year, although these burn up as they enter the atmosphere.
"Fairly large events happen about once a century," Melosh said.
"The biggest threat in our near future is the asteroid Apophis, which has a small chance of striking the Earth in 2036. It is about one-third of a mile in diameter, and the calculator will tell what will happen if it should fall in your backyard."
While massive asteroids like the 9-mile-wide Chicxulub that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago are very rare, smaller and more common asteroids have left craters that remain today. For example, Arizona's Barringer Crater, which is nearly a mile wide, provides evidence of an impact 50,000 years ago from an asteroid estimated to be 164 feet in diameter and composed of nickel and iron.
According to the Impact Earth calculator, if an asteroid of similar composition but twice as large struck 20 miles outside of Chicago, the energy would be equivalent to about 97 megatons of TNT. The resulting crater would be almost two miles wide, and would ignite a fireball with a one-mile radius, producing a magnitude 6 earthquake that would shake the city approximately six seconds after impact. The air blast would shatter windows, leaving the entire city coated in a fine dust of ejecta.
The new, revised tool is a more visual and user-friendly update to an impact calculator Melosh created with Robert Marcus and Gareth Collins about eight years ago while at the University of Arizona.
Melosh said he and Collins collaborated with Information Technology at Purdue (ITaP) to update the program and create a graphic interface to make the site easier and more fun to use.
"There were a lot of requests for calculations of tsunamis that would be produced from an ocean impact, and we've added that," said Collins, a natural environment research council fellow at Imperial College London.
"In addition, the program now visually illustrates the information the user enters, and we plan to connect the program with Google Earth to show a map of the effects."
Worldwide, the web site received more than 10 million hits from around the world in the week following the launch of the first impacts effects calculator.
Today, governmental agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security, NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Air Force link to and use the site, which is available in multiple languages, Melosh said.
Foreign governmental agencies also use the site, he said.
"It is a valuable tool to quantify the important impact processes that might affect the people, buildings and landscape in the vicinity of an impact event," said Melosh.
"With the program we include a scientific paper that describes the approximations and equations and discusses the uncertainty in our predictions. One can delve as much into the science as they would like."
The calculator also has been a valuable tool in sparking young students' interest in science, Melosh said.
"The calculator has been used by teachers and students from kindergarten through high school both for school projects and for fun."
"At one point we debated whether or not to use scientific notation in the results, but a teacher asked us to keep it. She told us that it inspired her class and the students worked hard to learn the method so they could fully understand the results."

Just recently, the United States Supreme Court issued two decisions affecting employers where employees allege unlawful retaliation or harassment under Title VII. In University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center v. Nassar, the Court held that for an employee to prove he or she was retaliated against by his or her employer, the employee must prove that "his or her protected activity was a but-for cause of the alleged adverse action by the employer." 2013 U.S. Lexis 4704, *42 (2013) (emphasis added). In other words, the employee must prove that the employer would not have made the alleged retaliatory employment action but for the desire to retaliate against the employee. Toughening the causation standard will likely make it more difficult for plaintiffs to prove claims of unlawful retaliation under Title VII.
The Supreme Court issued a second decision benefitting employers in Vance v. Ball State University. 2013 Lexis 4703 (2013). This time, the Court addressed the standard for holding an employer liable when its employees unlawfully harass fellow employees. First, it is important to note that an employer may be found liable for unlawful harassment if it is negligent with respect to such conduct among employees. However, when an employer is entirely unaware of any unlawful harassment, whether the employer may be held liable for a harassing employee's actions depends on the employee's position. In Vance, the Court held that only supervisors, meaning employees with authority to "take tangible employment actions against the victim," such as the ability to hire, fire, promote, or reassign, may impute liability to their employer for harassment. Id. at *17-*18. This narrower scope of "supervisor" means that fewer employees may create liability for their employers for under Title VII.

Have Indian folk dances been replaced by Bollywood culture? Has the young generation lost touch with our culture?
Young girls from Mumbai bust these myths, as they return from Czech Republic. 25 girls from Mumbai belonging to Kalanjay dance academy, represented India at a dance festival held at Czech Republic. They come back with a celebrity status, as they leave behind Europeans baffled at the grandeur of Indian folk dances.
The dance festival was organised by municipality of Bojkovice, Czech Republic. It saw the participation of countries like India, Romania, Slovakia and Czech Slovakia. The festival was organised to promote different cultures and appreciate the beauty of national folk dances across the globe. The festival stood apart as it targeted the youth to be ambassadors of their own culture. The participation ranged from 13-year-olds to a maximum age of 18 years.
Vaishali Sagar, who runs Kalanjay dance academy took this opportunity to take her young and talented students. They performed a range of Indian folk dances; Haryanvi and Khorea from Haryana, Chimmi from Rajasthan, Teratali Kalbelia dance from Rajasthan, Lavani from Maharashtra and a grand display of the Ganesh Festival with the use of Lazims.
"The main aim of this trip was to give the Kalanjay students an international platform. An opportunity where they learn about new dances from different cultures and at the same time take pride in promoting their own culture and dance. With different countries dances all at one point, the students become culturally enriched." said Vaishali Sagar. She has been instrumental in taking Indian dances to international platforms, this would be her fifth international dance festival.
The girls performed in colourful Indian folk costumes and were approached by every participating country, eager to learn Indian dances. Aashna Unadkat one of the young girls confessed, "They wanted to wear our costumes and learn our steps. Who knew that whispered dance forms like Haryanvi and Chimmi would make the European crowds go gaga."
India was noted to be one of the top performers, "The response from the crowd was over-whelming. Everyone shouting your countries name, and wanting to click pictures with you, was an extra-ordinary experience." said 13 year old Dhvani Dalal.
They performed from local streets, to junior and senior high schools. They also added the Bollywood tadka, by doing flash mobs with top pop numbers. However the young girls confessed that the crowd appreciated the folk dances more, "To be honest, it felt great wearing the traditional costumes for a change. And it seems like the crowd liked our folk dances more then our Bollywood numbers."
It seems like the Indian folk dances still survive as a part of our culture, and have managed to win the hearts of many across the globe.

With all of the great things that are being said about the iPad Air, there's one thing it isn't – durable.
"Takes a licking and keeps on ticking" does not seem to be a slogan suited to Apple's new iPad Air — at least based on some recent tests performed on the new lightweight tablet.

Marquez, Bradley eager to put Pacquiao behind them
More News from Associated Press
BEVERLY HILLS, California— Juan Manuel Marquez could have fought Manny Pacquiao for a fifth time. Timothy Bradley could have had a rematch with the Filipino congressman.
They both turned down chances to follow up on the biggest victories of their fighting careers. Instead, they want to face each other.
Marquez and Bradley will meet in a welterweight title bout Oct. 12 at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas after both men rejected bigger paydays against Pacquiao.
Yet Pacquiao loomed over the fighters' announcement at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Thursday.
Marquez knocked out Pacquiao last December, and the Mexican champion wants to savor that feeling for a while after failing to win their first three matchups.
The unbeaten Bradley says he will finally get the respect he deserves by trouncing Marquez.

Lynchburg Taps James River for Water
By Sarah Watson, The News & Advance, Lynchburg, Va.
Aug. 6–Increased demand and a lowering Pedlar Reservoir are why Lynchburg has started tapping the James River for water, weeks earlier than usual.
The city began drawing river water for 24 percent of its supply Monday. City Utilities Director Tim Mitchell said he expects half the water supply will come from the river by the end of this week.
"It's earlier than normal," Mitchell said. "Typically it's September or early October before we have to use (river water)."
As of Tuesday, Pedlar Reservoir was 141 inches below the spillway. If the level drops to 160 inches below the spillway, the city will pull almost all of its supply from the river, Mitchell said.
An unusually dry fall and winter kept Pedlar's levels well below the spillway until March, a time when it should be overflowing. It fell below the spillway again in early June, more than a month earlier than is typical.
The past few dry years also contribute to lower groundwater levels, which impact both Pedlar Reservoir and the James River. Some observation wells in the region are hitting record lows, according to U.S. Geological Survey data.
State and federal reports show much of the region to be in some form of drought. Rainfall at the Lynchburg Regional Airport is now 9.6 inches below normal, although spotty thunderstorms have brought more rain to some parts of the area.
A Department of Environmental Quality precipitation map shows a large swath of Campbell County south of Rustburg has seen close to normal precipitation since October 2007. Yet most areas north and west of that line have received significantly lower rainfall during the past year, the map shows.
Much of the rain that has fallen in the last few months has come from heavy thunderstorms. While that temporarily fills streams, once the runoff rushes downstream waterways return to low levels because a portion of the flow relies on groundwater.
That has been a problem with Pedlar Reservoir, Mitchell said.
The James River also is at an abnormally low level, but it still supplies enough water for the city's needs, Mitchell said. "The river flow is low but it's adequate," he said. "We don't have any issue there."
Until a few years ago, the city would draw the reservoir down to 210 inches below the spillway before tapping the river.
"But we stopped doing that because we want to preserve more water in the reservoir in case there's a situation where we have to switch over to the reservoir," Mitchell said.
The big concern would be a water quality issue in the James, such as an algae bloom or some type of contamination, Mitchell said. At 160 inches below the spillway, there's a 30-day water supply.
"If there was any problem with the James River, we'd be in OK shape," he said.
Normal city usage is about 11 million gallons per day, but currently the city supplies about 13.5 million gallons per day, which is at the limit of Pedlar's pipeline to the city treatment plants, Mitchell said. That figure includes customers in areas of Forest that rely on city water.
"Current demands are such that it's hard to keep up just using Pedlar and just getting water into the system," he said.
