BOSTON (AP) -- Boston College is coming off its worst season since the turn of the millennium, and quarterback Chase Rettig is making it his job to turn things around.
The Eagles junior, who was thrust into the starting job early in his freshman year, presided over the team's 4-8 record last season -- its worst since 1998. It wasn't just Rettig, of course, but he knows he'll have to improve in order to get BC back to a bowl for the 13th time in 14 years.
"Just being the quarterback, you automatically take on a lot of responsibility," Rettig said this month at media day. "I'm just going to prepare as much as I can and try to bring BC to back where we were."
Rettig was expected to redshirt as a freshman in 2010, but coach Frank Spaziani gave up on 26-year-old former minor-league baseball player Dave Shinskie and then picked Rettig over sophomore Mike Marscovetra. Rettig struggled early -- he injured his ankle in his debut against Notre Dame -- but won his last five games of the regular season before a loss to Nevada in the Fight Hunger Bowl.
But BC struggled under Rettig last year, losing six of its first seven games. The Eagles went 3-5 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, finishing fifth in the six-team Atlantic Division.

This specification has expected multi-station WLAN throughput of at least 1 gigabit per second and a single link throughput of at least 500 megabits per second (500 Mbit/s).
There are two cards to match what is inside your Mac. The Macbook air's have two internal antenna's, that's why we call it a qCard 2 and the MBP 15" Retina's have three antenna's thus qcard 3 Utilizing the same chipset and drivers as the new MacBook Air/Pro model, this new PCIe card can be used to upgrade PCIe Mac models to the newly announced Wi-Fi standard of 802.11ac! The Blue Tooth 4.0 LE are also added and use the same number of internal antenna's as the lattest generation of Mac's with 10.10.x its just plug and play.
All you have to do is take the old AirPort card out and put the new one in. As long as you have an OS of 10.8.4 or greater, your PCIe Mac will recognize it instantly, giving you access to 802.11ac speeds at any compatible wireless access 802.11a,b,g,n,ac
If you are somewhere that does not have a wireless access point in the AC spectrum, don't worry. The QCard is fully backwards compatible, allowing you to connect to any wireless network.
There are two versions of the Qcard: a two port for the MacBook Air and the three port for the MacBook Pro.

The stress of deployment often uncovers problems in relationships that existed before, but had gone un-noticed. For example, after a deployment minor irritations that might have been overlooked can blow up into major conflict. If you are having problems in your relationships, you will find this material will help. Take an assessment to get feedback on your relationships or jump into the workshops to learn about various relationship skills. Check out the videos of others who are dealing with relationship problems and explore the e-library for in-depth information.
It's not unusual for Service Members to feel lonely when they come home after a deployment, but it's important that you don't cut yourself off from family and friends, especially if you're feeling isolated or alone. No one likes everybody, and not everyone needs to like you: all it takes is one or two people. Don't cut yourself off from the people in your life who care about you. You hurt them when you do, and you also hurt yourself.

Tossing homemade dough onto the grill gives this flatbread a charred, bubbly, chewy crust. It's topped with cooked potato slices, mozzarella cheese, and tangy goat cheese. Just before serving, sprinkle it with a fresh herb salad. Any leftover slices are tasty dipped in ranch dressing for a late-night snack.
Game plan: The dough can be made through step 4 and left to rise in the refrigerator overnight. When you're ready to make the flatbread, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit covered at room temperature in the bowl while the grill is heating, at least 30 minutes. Then proceed with shaping and grilling.
The potatoes can be cooked, cooled, and refrigerated 2 days ahead. Slice and season them when you're ready to grill the pizza.

A Public Health Approach to Mental Health. (Chapter One)
Mental health is as important as physical health to the overall well-being of individuals, societies and countries. Yet only a small minority of the 450 million people suffering from a mental or behavioural disorder are receiving treatment. Advances in neuroscience and behavioural medicine have shown that, like many physical illnesses, mental and behavioural disorders are the result of a complex interaction between biological, psychological and social factors. While there is still much to be learned, we already have the knowledge and power to reduce the burden of mental and behavioural disorders worldwide.
For all individuals, mental, physical and social health are vital strands of life that are closely interwoven and deeply interdependent. As understanding of this relationship grows, it becomes ever more apparent that mental health is crucial to the overall wellbeing of individuals, societies and countries.
Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, mental health and mental disorders are not regarded with anything like the same importance as physical health. Instead, they have been largely ignored or neglected. Partly as a result, the world is suffering from an increasing burden of mental disorders, and a widening "treatment gap". Today, some 450 million people suffer from a mental or behavioural disorder, yet only a small minority of them receive even the most basic treatment. In developing countries, most individuals with severe mental disorders are left to cope as best they can with their private burdens such as depression, dementia, schizophrenia, and substance dependence. Globally, many are victimized for their illness and become the targets of stigma and discrimination.
Further increases in the number of sufferers are likely in view of the ageing of the population, worsening social problems, and civil unrest. Already, mental disorders represent four of the 10 leading causes of disability worldwide. This growing burden amounts to a huge cost in terms of human misery, disability and economic loss.
Mental and behavioural disorders are estimated to account for 12% of the global burden of disease, yet the mental health budgets of the majority of countries constitute less than 1% of their total health expenditures. The relationship between disease burden and disease spending is clearly disproportionate. More than 40% of countries have no mental health policy and over 30% have no mental health programme. Over 90% of countries have no mental health policy that includes children and adolescents. Moreover, health plans frequently do not cover mental and behavioural disorders at the same level as other illnesses, creating significant economic difficulties for patients and their families. And so the suffering continues, and the difficulties grow.
This need not be so. The importance of mental health has been recognized by WHO since its origin, and is reflected by the definition of health in the WHO Constitution as "not merely the absence of disease or infirmity", but rather, "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being". In recent years this definition has been given sharper focus by many huge advances in the biological and behavioural sciences. These in turn have broadened our understanding of mental functioning, and of the profound relationship between mental, physical and social health. From this new understanding emerges new hope.
Today we know that most illnesses, mental and physical, are influenced by a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors (see Figure 1.1). We know that mental and behavioural disorders have a basis in the brain. We know that they affect people of all ages in all countries, and that they cause suffering to families and communities as well as individuals. And we know that in most cases, they can be diagnosed and treated cost-effectively. From the sum of our understanding, people with mental or behavioural disorders today have new hope of living full and productive lives in their own communities. …

This house cost about 900k to make. I'm not sure how much it would cost on the market. There were other houses that were constructed at much lower costs, 150k to 300k, with an expected market price of 80k to 230k. Check out solardecathlon.org and look at the team videos. There were a few amazing, affordable homes.

overscan with 190.42 lost at next boot
I was about to throw away my linux box when I discovered here that 190.42 driver has now a slider for overscan : great !
So I installed new drivers, run nvidia-settings, move the slider, saved the configuration.
But after reboot, overscan does not applied !
If I run nvidia-settings again, the overscan applied suddenly.
So the configuration is stored somewhere.
How to make it apply at boot time ?
(I am running ubuntu jaunty)
Re: overscan with 190.42 lost at next boot
Hi JP,
The nvidia-settings program supports the '-l' option to do exactly this. If you run 'nvidia-settings -l', it will silently load the configuration that's saved in your .nvidia-settings-rc file, and exit.
If you add 'nvidia-settings -l' to your .xinitrc file, it will happen automatically.
Hope that helps,
Re: overscan with 190.42 lost at next boot
Thanks a lot.
As in ubuntu the .xinitrc is not used, I added to startup programs.

In Canada, the prevalence of oral diseases is very high among people on social assistance. Despite great need for dental treatment, many are reluctant to consult dental professionals, arguing that dentists do not welcome or value poor patients. The objective of this research was thus to better understand how dentists perceived and experienced treating people on social assistance.
This descriptive qualitative research was based on in-depth semi-structured interviews with 33 dentists practicing in Montreal, Canada. Generally organized in dentists' offices, the interviews lasted 60 to 120 minutes; they were digitally recorded and later transcribed verbatim. The interview transcripts were coded with NVivo software, and data was displayed in analytic matrices. Three members of the research team interpreted the data displayed and wrote the results of this study.
Dentists express high levels of frustration with people on social assistance as a consequence of negative experiences that fall into 3 categories: 1) Organizational issues (people on social assistance ostensibly make the organization of appointments and scheduling difficult); 2) Biomedical issues (dentists feel unable to provide them with adequate treatment and fail to improve their oral health); 3) Financial issues (they are not lucrative patients). To explain their stance, dentists blame people on social assistance for neglecting themselves, and the health care system for not providing adequate coverage and fees. Despite dentists' willingness to treat all members of society, an accumulation of frustration leads to feelings of powerlessness and discouragement.
The current situation is unacceptable; we urge public health planners and governmental health agencies to ally themselves with the dental profession in order to implement concrete solutions.
Keywords:Poverty; Social assistance; Health Care; Dentists; Qualitative research; Semi-structured interviews
The burden of oral diseases is high among underprivileged people in North America and constitutes a serious public health issue [1,2]. Yet, despite a high prevalence of oral diseases and a great need for dental treatment, most people living in poverty rarely consult a dentist [3-5]. This applies particularly to people on social assistance, who could benefit from public dental insurance programs. In the United States, for instance, use of dental care services is very low among Medicaid recipients, whether adults or children [6,7]. A similar phenomenon occurs in Canada: in the province of Quebec, people on social assistance often adopt a wait-and-see approach and try to adapt to symptoms rather than consult an oral health professional [8-10]. In brief, public dental insurance programs for people living in poverty are insufficient to ensure timely use of dental services and eliminate disparities in access.
Several factors could explain this disturbing situation: the dental care pathway for people on social assistance depends on how they define oral health [11], oral illness and need for treatment [12]; it is also impeded by indirect costs related to transportation [13] and services not covered by public insurance [10]. In addition, the relationship with oral health professionals seems to be a crucial element. Indeed, many people on social assistance report negative experiences with the dental care system: in the United States, for instance, Medicaid enrolees have described disrespectful and discriminatory attitudes by oral health professionals toward them because of their status [14]. In Canada as well, people on social assistance have reported complicated relationships with dentists and deplored a lack of sensitivity to their situation [10].
For their part, many dentists in North America seem reluctant to treat people on social assistance. Indeed, in the United States, dentists' participation rate in the Medicaid program remains low [6] for various reasons: cancelled appointments, low reimbursement rates, poor compliance, and complicated paperwork [15-17]. Despite these findings, we actually know very little about how dentists experience treating people on social assistance. One of the reasons is that previous studies relied on structured questionnaires; based on deductive approaches, they did not favor the emergence of new perspectives and tended to provide de-contextualized data. We therefore decided to conduct qualitative research whose objective was to better understand how dentists perceived and experienced treating people on social assistance. In particular, we were interested in deepening our understanding of the difficulties that they may encounter with this group of people.
Research design
We used a descriptive qualitative research design based on open-ended, semi-structured interviews. Qualitative methodologies are indeed indicated for exploring complex phenomena about which little is known [18]. The flexibility of the design, consisting of simultaneous data collection and analysis, also allowed us to sample on the basis of emerging concepts and gather information on topics that derived from the first analyses.
Sampling strategy
We conducted this study in Montreal, Canada, a multicultural city with 1.6 million inhabitants [19] and almost 1400 general dental practitioners [20]. We adopted a maximum variation sampling strategy [21] to recruit general dentists with potentially diverse experiences with people living in poverty. In particular, we wanted to meet clinicians with various years of experience, working in several types of settings (multi practice, solo practice) and with different professional status (owners, employed). This is why, for instance, we contacted dentists practicing in diverse types of neighbourhoods, including underprivileged areas and affluent districts.
We recruited the dentists by sending a written invitation (by mail, email, or fax) and a subsequent telephone call to plan an interview. In the written invitation as well as during the phone call, we informed them that they had no obligation to participate and could take the time they needed to decide on whether to participate or not. We stopped recruiting when we obtained data saturation, "the point at which additional data does not improve understanding of the phenomenon under study" [18] and simply reiterates what has been previously collected.
Data collection
Experienced interviewers collected data between 2004 and 2007 through in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Generally organized in participating dentists' offices, the interviews lasted 60 to 120 minutes; they were digitally recorded and later transcribed. Before each interview, the participants were invited to read a consent form approved by the academic ethics committee of McGill University's Faculty of Medicine. We encouraged them to ask questions about the research and their rights as participants prior to signing the consent form.
Researchers used an interview guide that focused on dentists' experiences with people on social assistance. This guide was designed to help interviewers identify the problems and difficulties faced by dentists. In order to obtain more in-depth information on the topics discussed, researchers used "probing" techniques [21]: when necessary during the course of the discussions, they formulated follow-up questions that also allowed them to explore unanticipated but relevant emerging topics.
Data analysis
We performed a thematic analysis, a "method for identifying, analysing and reporting patterns (themes) within data" [22]. The analysis comprised several parts: interview debriefing, transcript coding, data display and interpretation.
The debriefings were conducted between the interviewer and the main researcher after each interview. They served to summarize the main findings, identify emerging hypotheses, and prepare subsequent interviews. Coding of the interview transcripts was carried out using NVivo software. We used an initial list of codes inspired by the research questions, but refined this list throughout the coding. The process involved cutting the transcripts into meaningful segments and assigning codes to the segments. We then examined the codes and their corresponding passages through an iterative process, grouping them into broad themes and displaying them in analytic matrices, as recommended by Miles [23]. We finally described the themes in a text and illustrated them with excerpts of the data.
To improve the rigor and credibility of our results, three members of the research team conducted this process, checking and validating their analysis. In particular, they coded initial transcripts separately and then compared their findings; for each instance of coding disagreement they discussed their interpretations, refined the codes, and undertook coding again until agreement was reached. Furthermore, the researchers carefully pondered the analytic matrices while comparing their interpretation of the results. Again, when confronted with divergence, they discussed the data until jointly able to agree upon an interpretation.
Description of the sample
A total of 33 dentists, 21 men and 12 women, participated in the study (Table 1). They ranged in age from 26 to 70 years and had practiced dentistry for periods of between 2 and 45 years. Fifteen participants identified themselves as having a non-western ethno-cultural background, which included Iranian, Lebanese, Armenian and Vietnamese origins.
Table 1. Sample description (N = 33)
When asked about their relationship with people on social assistance at the dental office, most participating dentists express high levels of frustration and sometimes anger. Frustrations were the consequence of negative experiences that fell into 3 broad categories: 1) Organizational issues; 2) Biomedical issues; 3) Financial issues (Tables 2 and 3). Despite these dentists' efforts and willingness to treat all members of society, the accumulation of frustration led to feelings of powerlessness and discouragement.
Organizational issues – Dentists find the organization of appointments and scheduling difficult for people on social assistance
Dentists complain that people on social assistance generate problems with respect to the organization of appointments: not only do these patients tend to consult in an emergency but, when appointments are scheduled, they often reportedly fail to show up. Dentists add that problems persist even after the "phone recall" that the dental office's secretary makes to confirm a patients' presence the day before the appointment. Dentists deplore the resulting disorganization of their schedule, causing them to lose time, and preventing other patients from being promptly treated.
The child supposedly is in pain because he has a big cavity. We'll say: "Ok, fine, we'll schedule him as soon as possible". And then, [it's] a missed appointment. You know, it's frustrating because the kid was in pain, it's free, he has an appointment, we want to treat him, we make room and then, missed appointment. So in the long run, you develop a kind of [attitude]: "Oh, no; not a welfare patient!" [CL2].
Furthermore, dentists argue that people on social assistance rarely call to cancel. This irritates them because they consider "no-shows" to signal a lack of respect towards them. For many, the frustration is reinforced by their perception that people on social assistance do not have serious reasons for missing their appointments, considering the fact that they benefit from public dental insurance: "no-shows" purportedly reflect a lack of motivation and laziness on the part of people on social assistance.
It's because they don't wake up in time, it's not nice out, it's too nice out, they have the flu. Excuses. Except that at a certain point, when you schedule five appointments and he misses four of them, with different excuses… my tolerance decreases after the third one. [AL5].
Another frustration that dentists express relates to difficulty planning this clientele's appointments outside of peak periods. Considering that the latter do not have a job, dentists expect them to be flexible and thus available when the dental office is less crowded, such as in the morning or early afternoon. However, people on social assistance often refuse to book appointments at those times for reasons that dentists attribute to their lifestyle: for instance, they pinpoint their laziness or, on the contrary, undeclared jobs that impede scheduling. As a result, some dentists resent treating people on social assistance during time slots intended for "good patients".
Even though they didn't work, they weren't available as we would have wanted, like in the morning. They could demand an evening appointment. The secretary was a bit bothered by that. […] She of course complained: "So, they don't work; why don't they come in the morning?" Because morning appointments are always much harder to book. [CB1].
Biomedical issues – Dentists often feel unable to provide people on social assistance with adequate treatment or to improve their oral health
The dentists regret their general inability to provide people on social assistance with the best treatments available, which is due to two factors: the limitations of the public dental insurance program and a lack of motivation by people on social assistance toward improving oral health. With respect to the public dental insurance program, the dentists consider that, although most basic treatments are covered, several important procedures are not, such as root canal therapies (endodontic treatments). This case is particularly frustrating to them because patients on social assistance are generally unable to pay the fees and instead opt for extractions, a procedure that is fully covered by the government.
Even if I offer to let them pay bit by bit, it doesn't work at all. [The patients say] "No, I don't have any money". The government reimburses extractions, [so] it doesn't cost them anything. [CB1].
Each time a patient needs a root canal and it's not paid for by social assistance, well, obviously, they never have it done. So then, we have to extract teeth, often even those of children, of adolescents. To remove permanent teeth. That, I would have to say, has been my worst experience. [CL11].
A perceived lack of motivation in people on social assistance is the other major barrier to the provision of appropriate care. According to our dentists, many patients do not consider oral health as a priority and consequently neglect themselves. Furthermore, despite high treatment needs, they do not consult a dentist often enough and tend to interrupt their episodes of care.
Most of the time, I find they're not motivated enough. Their [oral] hygiene is very poor. Even though dental services are free, not everyone takes advantage of them. [CL4].
Dentists consequently feel powerless, emphasizing how challenging it is to perform adequate treatments and, more generally, to improve this clientele's oral health. These patients, according to them, are not receptive to their recommendations and generally fail to improve oral hygiene and dietary habits. In addition, people on social assistance sometimes ask for treatments, such as multiple extractions, that dentists do not recommend, which is a source of conflict and misunderstanding. In brief, dentists perceive treating people on social assistance as an uphill battle, which makes some conclude that they are wasting their time with these patients.
When someone comes to you and says,"This tooth hurts, it's swollen", you look at the rest of the mouth and, yikes, you wonder where to start; that's not pleasant. That's what we see with people on social assistance. [CL21].
It's as if I'm wasting my time talking to a wall. [CL7].
Feeling constrained to emergency treatments or very basic care, some dentists conclude that there are two types of dentistry: dentistry for the poor and dentistry for everyone else. "Dentistry for the poor" is seen as a devaluation of their competencies and constitutes a source of frustration; not only does it lessen dentists' satisfaction with their work, but dentists also point out that it has negative impacts on the oral health of people on social assistance.
So we can't apply everything we've just learnt in school, and therefore we're forced to practice two kinds of dentistry: dentistry for our regular clientele and dentistry for our welfare clientele. It's frustrating for the dentist. [CL9].
Financial issues - Dentists perceive patients on social assistance as non lucrative and a threat to the financial sustainability of their clinic
Dentists argue that treating people on social assistance is not lucrative because government payment rates—which do not follow the fee guide produced by the dental association—are too low. For some procedures, the fees do not even cover the expenses related to the materials and the staff's salary.
I like doing good quality work but, unfortunately, with the fees that social assistance gives us, I mean, we're talking 12 dollars for an extraction and 5 dollars for the second one, that barely pays for the anesthesia and your muscle power. And that is if it's an easy extraction. So even for restorations, exams, cleanings, everything is really a lot less. So, if we want to do a good cleaning, then what the government pays is not much. [CL7].
Most dentists perceive this situation as inherently unfair. They argue that, even though the choice of treatments is limited for people on social assistance, they will not compromise the quality of the procedures they perform, nor can they reduce the cost of the materials and the equipment that are used. Feeling underpaid, some dentists conclude that they subsidize the government.
That's what's frustrating for a dentist. I'll perform an extraction that, to my mind, is worth the price I would charge you, say, but when I perform the same extraction for a person on social assistance I'll get paid maybe a fourth of what it's worth. So it's frustrating. Of course it's the person on assistance who suffers the consequences in the sense that we're maybe frustrated… [CL2].
Another reason why dentists do not perceive people on social assistance as lucrative patients is related to missed appointments. Missed appointments not only represent "lost wages", as dentists are not paid for work they cannot perform, but also prevent them from treating "regular patients" who would pay better fees.
You know that [insurance for those on social assistance] pays about a third of the standard rate of the Dental Association. […] I don't mind. But when they miss their appointments, then I pay for it three times over. I am already only getting a third as it is and then… I lose a regular patient that could have had that spot, stuff like that. [AL6].
In brief, dentists perceive people on social assistance as a potential threat to the financial sustainability of dental practices, and some express their relief at having only a small number of such patients. A few, moreover, express concern that this clientele could compromise their financial stability.
But I can't of course complain because I don't have many of them. So if I have one once in a while I don't mind treating them, but if I had ten a day I'd be stressed out. It would annoy me. [CL2].
Our study provides an in-depth and unique understanding of dentists' perspective concerning patients on social assistance: 1) dentists seem to perceive patients through an interpretive filter that distinguishes three important dimensions: organizational, biomedical, and financial (Figure 1); 2) they repeatedly experience frustration and failure along all three dimensions when treating people on social assistance; 3) as a consequence, they tend to feel discouragement and powerlessness, which result in a reluctance to treat people on social assistance, despite their desire to treat all members of society; 4) dentists attribute the difficulties they encounter to the attitude and actions of people on social assistance, whom they perceive as neglecting themselves and disrespecting others, and the health care system, which arguably fails to provide adequate coverage and fees.
Figure 1. Prism through which participating dentists perceive people on social assistance.
With respect to limitations, it is important to note that our study reports the experiences and perspectives of a relatively small number of dentists, even though the size of the sample is adequate considering our methodology [18]. Let us also mention that the sample may not be representative of Canadian dentists. In particular, it did not comprise dentists that systematically refuse to treat people on social assistance, a practice that has not been documented in Canada but has been observed in the United States [6,17] and France [24].
Our team of experienced researchers and highly skilled interviewers employed a series of procedures that enhance credibility [18,25], such as prolonged engagement of the researchers in the community of private dentists, peer-debriefing after the interviews, rigorous data coding, and triangulation of interpretations. Finally, the inductive nature of our approach provided data whose depth could not have been sounded through traditional quantitative research.
Even though studies have already shown that missed appointments, poor compliance, and low reimbursement rates may lead North American dentists to exclude people on social assistance, our research provides results that are original. First, it describes the complexity of dentists' perceptions in a way that has not been shown. For each of the three dimensions, dentists experience failures that tend to accumulate. These failures also generate emotional reactions among oral health professionals, such as anger and discouragement, which may impact on their relationship with patients on social assistance.
Second, our study highlights the importance of a biomedical dimension: dentists explain how challenging it is to improve the oral health of patients on social assistance. Furthermore, some feel constrained, performing a "dentistry for the poor" that does not reach the standards of "regular dentistry". Most dentists express their aversion to the former, which is limited to rudimentary and low quality treatments. In particular, because the Quebec public dental insurance program is not comprehensive, dentists must often extract teeth that could be restored if the patients were able to pay. This type of situation creates major ethical dilemmas for professionals trained to achieve high standards of care; it also generates feelings of devaluation.
Third, most dentists perceive themselves as victims with little power to resolve the issues they describe. Instead, they criticize an inadequate health care system; reimbursement rates for people on social assistance are too low and not all dental procedures are covered. They also blame people on social assistance: missed appointments, emergency visits and lack of availability during off-peak hours are considered signs of self-neglect and disrespect for others. For instance, some participants mentioned laziness as a reason for missing appointments, which reflects common stereotypes about poverty [26]. It also echoes the painful sentiment of people on social assistance: they feel misunderstood by oral health professionals [10,13,14,27] and, in a more general way, by society at large [28,29]. In fact, many people on social assistance actually work several hours per week in work reintegration programs, and therefore have limited availability for appointments during the day. This "blaming the victim attitude", which has already been shown among physicians [30], reflects professionals' misunderstanding of poverty and exclusion.
In order to increase dentists' willingness to treat people on social assistance and improve their access to dental care, solutions addressing all three main issues are needed. We must consider and respond to dentists' complaints, in particular the fact they blame both people on social assistance and the public dental care system for the organizational, biomedical, and financial issues described in this article.
To address the tensions and conflicts between dentists and people on social assistance, we suggest: a) helping current [31] and future professionals – through dental education programs [2] – to better understand people living in poverty and avoid victim blaming [32,33]; b) inviting dentists and people on social assistance to confront their perspectives and together develop solutions that will facilitate their clinical relationships; joint problem identification and solutions might be found by bringing all stakeholders together in what is referred to as participatory action research.
In addition, we suggest addressing current limitations of the health care system by improving coverage and fees. It is worth noting that, in the United States, augmented Medicaid payment rates are associated with dentists' increased participation in the program as well as increased utilization of dental services by Medicaid recipients [17,34].
Several successful programs in the United States, such as Access to Baby and Child Dentistry (ABCD) [35] and Head Start [27], constitute strong bases leading to better oral health outcomes; modified versions of these programs could be expanded to serve adults as well.
In conclusion, we would emphasize the common goals uniting our research with the principles upheld by the American Dental Education Association [36], who stated in 2010 that "access to basic oral health care is a human right"; "the oral health care delivery system must serve the common good"; and that "the oral health needs of vulnerable populations have a unique priority". According to these principles, the current situation is unacceptable, and we urge public health planners, governmental bodies, and community groups to join forces with the dental profession in order to implement concrete solutions. We also invite researchers to contribute to this effort and perhaps even lead such processes. In particular, we suggest the development of participatory action research projects that will allow people on social assistance, clinicians, and policy makers to confront their perspectives and together find solutions.

Can you imagine how big this game would be if they just doubled the texture quality from whatever it is now?(looks like 256x256 on average) Four times the size. You're talking a 80GB game. No one could sell that. Many people don't even have enough HDD space for that. Its a failure of the tech they decided to use, for the type of game they decided to make. It doesn't have anything to do with consoles, you couldn't release the game with better textures, it would just be too big. Thats megatexture, waste a ton of space for unique textures, trading pretty much everything for more unique textures.
Actually it wouldn't necessarely use that much more storage space, they have quite nice little 'optimization' that checks areas where player can go and decreases resolution of stored textures further away.
What they should have done is increase the possible resolution where player can get very close to objects and with double the space we might have got 4-8 times the texel density on places where it really matters.
IE. huge environments where you would mostly be driving would be with same textures, but city areas and such near players head would get better textures.

- Category: Capped
- Written by Eric Daoust
What does Subban's new deal mean for his cap league value?
#4 2014-08-11 15:47
Cap leagues, straight points, it gets pretty tough to have Subban. If you're in a multi-cat league, it gets a bit bettee. In a format that counted g, a, pts, hits, blocked shots, PM, PPP, SHP, +/- you'd only get 60% to 70% of the points required for that amount of cap space, on his career years. The problem may be even larger in the event that he had an injury.
#3 2014-08-07 20:10
why would the cap go down? Cap raised by 4M$ and the Sportsnet deal hasn't really kicked in yet.
#2 2014-08-07 17:53
if the cap goes down there are going to be tons of problems throughout the league

Added to my listen-to-list
Yeah so bought this on vinyl the other day. I don't know why it gets such a bad rep, it is pretty cool. The songs sound like his glam era songs fused with the soul influences he would draw from on his next two albums.
Of course it isnt the best live recording ever, but it is a very interesting listen.
Album Rating: 4.0what a solid live album, rhythm section on this is absolutely flawless

A federal judge on Wednesday approved an agreement between JPMorgan Chase & Co and U.S. prosecutors to settle charges that the bank violated anti-money laundering laws by failing to alert authorities to warning signs its employees encountered in dealings with convicted Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff.
The settlement, which deferred the criminal charges against the bank until Jan. 8 2016, requires the bank to pay a $1.7 billion forfeiture and improve its anti-money laundering controls. If it meets the terms by the appointed date, prosecutors can chose to dismiss the charges against it.

I am a super sweet, older, neutered boy. I arrived as kind of a raggedy-looking mess from the San Jose shelter.
I actually just got adopted from SaveABunny and despite all my good diet, regular grooming and exercise,I still looked like a rumpled mess. Good thing I was so cute and nice!

And that comment about the funeral was just disgusting.
I'm a single middle aged woman and I couldn't flirt to save my life but I believe that if you are nice to people (including workmen, delivery men), who come to your house, they will be nice to you. Take the man who came to mend my boiler. He was a lot younger than me but we found we had a common interest in naval history so we had a nice chat about books while he was working. What's wrong with offering workmen a cup of tea a) they don't necessarily want one and b) they might not have had anything to drink for hours.

Five Muskrats named to NECBL All-Star roster
LACONIA — Laconia will be well represented at the NECBL All-Star Game, to be played July 20 in Holyoke, Mass. The Muskrats will be sending five members of this season's squad. Three of the four position players will be in the starting lineup. Matt Byrne (Iona) will start at second along with Braxton Martinez (St. Louis) at third, and Vinny Zarillo (Rutgers) in leftfield. Outfielder Colton Bottomley (Florida Gulf Coast) and pitcher Jack English (Florida Gulf Coast) will also be on the roster. "All five guys were very deserving. I'm excited from them to get the opportunity to play on that stage and be seen by MLB scouts," said Muskrats GM Noah Crane about the selections.
Byrne is hitting .342 with ten stolen basses and 14 runs scored on the year. Martinez has three homeruns; seven runs scored, 13 RBI, and is hitting a team leading .368. Zarillo, the Muskrats leadoff man, has a .333 average with 22 runs scored, 11 stolen bases, and 16 RBI. Bottomley is second on the team in batting average, hitting .342, while driving in a team leading 18 RBI. Closer Jack English has an earned run average of 1.22 with five saves and 27 strikeouts in 29 innings of work.
The Muskrats are in a three way race for the final two playoff spots in the division. Laconia is three and a half games behind the second place Sanford Mainers. The closer race is the third and fourth slots which are currently occupied by Laconia and Keene. Both teams have a 13-14 record and are holding on to the spots by a half a game over North Adams (13-15). "Being healthy is the most important aspect to a successful playoff run. If our roster remains intact we are going to be difficult to beat in a short series," said Crane. "This is the point in the season when teams start to see role players head home and starters getting injured. A team's standing can change wildly in the last two weeks."
The Muskrats had won back to back games before the rain came in this week and cancelled a pair. The first win took a few extra frames against the Valley Blue Sox. Ultimately the Muskrats prevailed with a four run 14th inning and three solid innings of relief from Mariano Rivera, Jr. (Iona). Laconia scored the four runs on six hits and a lot of small ball, starting with a leadoff single by Joey Bielek (Arizona St.). Bielek was driven home on Zarrillo's single to center, which proved to be the game winner.
The next day the Muskrats beat the visiting New Bedford 3-1. All three runs were scored in the third inning, highlighted by the Byrne's single that drove in two men. Shea Spitzbarth (Molloy College) earned the victory for Laconia, pitching seven innings giving up the only run while striking out eight.
Laconia was home last night, hosting Keene. The team will host North Adams tonight before heading out to face off against the Valley Blue Sox. Tuesday will see Laconia in North Adams for the second game out of the last three against a division foe fighting for the last playoff spot. "We play 15 games in 16 days to close the season. If we are going to make a move in the standings now is the time. We still have eight home games left and fans should come out and see this team play. We have a great mix of speed and power and really play quality defense," said Crane.

Waukewan Ladies putt for dough
July 1, the fifth week on the course for the Waukewan Ladies Golf League, was hazy, hot and humid and the ladies were hot on the putting greens. The game on the front nine was "Count Your Two Best Puts With An Optional Bramble". The ladies focused on counting the two lowest putts for the team. The "Bramble" twist allowed all players to reach the green and show off their putting skills. The winning team of Linda Lee, Betsy Cox and Mary Cross showed their great accuracy and recorded a total of 25 putts.
The 3rd hole was designated as a contest hole for closest to the pin. Judy Taylor dropped her ball 43" from the pin for the win! Hole 5 was for the accurate players who had to sink the longest putt. Barb Barbuto put her ball in the hole from 7'4 ½". The ladies enjoyed their pick of prizes from the game table.
Estelle Smith was the only lady who showed her chipping expertise. On hole 6 she chipped in for the whole pot.
Several ladies had great games this week and turned in impressive scores. Scoring 50 was Roz Gay while Linda Lee scored 49. Three players scored 48: Betsy Cox, Denise Doyle and Linda Ridlon. Faith Bartlett turned in a score of 45 while Laurie Fox turned in an awesome 44.
For the second time Brenda Trudeau walked off with the cash prize winning the 50/50 raffle.

2 Inter-Lakes sophomores compete in decathlon
Evan Candage and Ryan Nickerson, sophomores at Inter-Lakes High School, participated at the 58th NH Decathlon at Nashua South High School on June 21-22. The Decathlon is a grueling event where the athletes compete in ten events during a two day meet. The first day of the meet consists of 5 events: the 100 meter dash, long jump, shot put, high jump and the 400 meter dash. The second day consists of the 100 meter high hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and the 1500 meter run. Seventy-five NH athletes competed for points that were awarded based on the International Amateur Athletic Federation Scoring Tables. Candage excelled in the long jump with a leap of 20 foot 6 inches, which took the 2nd spot in that event. Nickerson's overall performance was steady and consistent, a very important aspect of being a decathlete. He placed 36th overall. It was a great 2 days for both, especially considering that it was their first time competing in some of the events. It was also a great learning experience, showing them what they can attain personally and where they line up with the rest of the state's athletes. "It was a real pleasure working with Evan and Ryan this year," said Coach Steve Jurius, "I look forward to the next two years with these young men." (Courtesy photo)

Improving your knitting skillset is something easier said than done when you have small children. I have been working on the Diminishing Rib Cardigan since November. You might recognize this cardi from the front of an Interweave Knits Magazine. It's a top-down raglan. I've never knit a top-down raglan so this has been my most recent foray into new knitting techniques. Unfortunately, I've had to rip out this sweater three times because my 2 year old has gotten into this knitting project, ripping out stitches to the point where I had to start all over again. It was hard not to seethe with anger at my child the third time that happened.
Somehow last January I was able to finally knit beyond the point where I've had to start over 3 times and now I'm ready to separate out the sleeves and put them on a holder while I work on the rest of the body. However, it's hard to concentrate around two children and I haven't wanted to mess up having gotten this far. Plus by the end of the day my brain is too baby fried to want to attempt this next step in the knitting process. So I've been sticking to knitting socks. I can knit socks with my eyes closed.
Right now the Diminishing Rib Cardi looks like a lump of a sweater.
But when you look closer you can see that there's a neck, and some shoulders.
A little bit more of the shoulder shaping:
I like how this is turning out:
The sweater is starting to inspire me again and it might just be time to prioritize it. I have made it my Ravelympics team training project and I'm supposed to have it finished by June 1st. My inner knitter is telling me "good luck with that", but I know it's doable.
I'm Angela.
Mom. Wife. Crafter. Succulent Gardener. Co-op Preschool Parent. Housing Activist.
What's going on now?
Became a housing activist. Knitting at city council meetings is much more fun than I imagined.

Sometimes sweet, mostly spicy but always heart stopping, Kiki is snoozing in crisp white cotton sheets today.
