The Zubie Connected Car Service keeps good track of the family car and can help people be better drivers, but the lack of fuel economy information is a big miss.

Spirit of Tasmania appoints CumminsRoss and Maxus Spirit of Tasmania has appointed CumminsRoss as its advertising agency and Maxus as its media buyer. The appointments were made after a detailed review of services and a competitive tender process. The review focused on the new look and feel of Spirit of Tasmania's brands, incorporating its strengths, travel benefits and new direction. CumminsRoss, Australia's fastest growing independent full-service advertising agency, will manage Spirit of Tasmania's creative services for mainstream and digital. It has grown to 62 staff and two offices in just 17 months on the back of national and international engagements with leading brands including Chrysler Jeep, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Fonterra, Carsguide.com.au, Deakin University, Jacob's Creek, Asahi, and now Spirit of Tasmania. "We're ecstatic with the Spirit of Tasmania win as it combines our strategic, creative and digital strengths," CumminsRoss Managing Director Chris Jeffares said. "We provided strong insight-led thinking that will really take the brand forward." "Spirit of Tasmania has a truly differentiated product and we are looking forward to working with the company on a brand refresh that delivers on its uniqueness and opens up new markets." Maxus will continue to manage Spirit of Tasmania's media services. Maxus has managed Spirit of Tasmania's media buying duties for a decade and has now expanded to include search, digital and analytics. Maxus Chief Operating Officer Mark McCraith said: "We have had a long and very close working relationship with Spirit of Tasmania. It's fantastic news that we have been able to retain Spirit of Tasmania's media account. "With the ability to help across more elements of its communication channels, we can now be there to help drive its business even harder." Spirit of Tasmania would like to thank all previous advertising providers, in particular its contracted partners Sputnik, Emitch and Hyro which have all helped the company achieve strong passenger volumes, exceeding targets year-on-year. -ends-

2010 finished and S-Rank Challenge
By deadward 1 Comments
Added a couple more games top the list;
Halo 3 ODST (360)
Ran through ODST in co-op in a couple of quick sessions. Kind of mediocre in my opinion... We did a lot of wandering around wondering where to go next, and the final climactic battle ended with us scouring the map for 5 minutes looking for a a final brute that got stuck way at the back.
Co-op was fun, that s honestly teh first time I've ever played Halo co-op...
Civilization Revolution (360)
S-Rank on this one... This game is great, I love it lots.
Defense Grid: The Awakening (PC / Steam)
Not a big Tower defense fan, but I had fun with this one, Still a couple of achievements left to go, so I may get back into it. It's easy to jump , play a map, then quit which makes it a nice in-between game.
Tales of Monkey Island Ep. 1 - 5 (PC / Steam)
So much fun! I'm a sucker for adventure games to begin with, and these scratched that itch nicely. My only complaint at all was the mouse-walking... that never seemed to work correctly for me. No biggie though, just use the keyboard instead. Highly recommended. I got that whole Telltale pack during the Steam holiday sale, so Sam and Max is next on the agenda.
I really need to finish up Darksiders and Bayonetta... I also have a second play of Mass Effect to finish before ME2 comes out, don't want to be stuck with an unfinished save there.
Finished -
Assasin's Creed 2 (PS3)
Modern Warfare 2 (PS3)
Halo 3 ODST (360)
Defense Grid: The Awakening (360)
Tales of Monkey Island Ep. 1 - 5 (PC / Steam)
Civilization Revolution (360)

ST. LOUIS (CNA/EWTN News) -- Alice Heinzen was with her dad and siblings on a ski trip when she froze on top of what looked like a treacherous mountain path. Her dad was waiting at the bottom, and so were her other siblings – who had all fallen down along the way.
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The working document for this fall's Synod of Bishops on the family calls for expanded discussion and pastoral solutions to challenges such as how economic disparity and environmental degradation affect families as well as the impact of infertility, aging and disability.
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The working document, intended to guide discussions at the Synod of Bishops on the family in October, included a much wider array of issues affecting the family than were in the final document released after the extraordinary synod last year.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Nolan Reimold may be one of those early-season waiver finds savvy fantasy baseball owners salivate over grabbing in deeper mixed league formats. Virtually undrafted in most standard formats in ESPN, Yahoo! and CBS leagues, the window of opportunity to grab him off waivers is closing quickly.
Reimold has put up a robust standard 5×5 line of .370/9/5/10/1 in 11 games and is currently riding a 10-game hitting streak since opening the season 0-for-4. He's missed the last two games with a neck injury but is still worth picking up off waivers if your outfield is in need of a spark. Just be sure not to overreact on which player to drop when deciding whether to pick him up or not. You surely don't want to bail this early on a highly-ranked player simply off to a slow start.
ESPN's Player Rater tool currently ranks him 18th overall while Yahoo! ranks him 22nd. His ownership numbers are rising to the tune of 69.7% in ESPN league, 69% in Yahoo! leagues and 80% in CBS leagues. Again, you may have missed your opportunity to pick him up in any quality fantasy baseball league worth participating in but double-check for sure.
Here are some other fantasy baseball players worth a look who may still be available on your league's waiver wire:
OF Jordan Schafer, Houston Astros: Schafer has produced a .263/13/2/7/6 5×5 line and is worth owning for the stolen base potential alone if your team is lacking in this category already. As long as he stay healthy (big IF), there's no reason to believe he won't continue to be the Astros starting center fielder in 2012. His ownership numbers are on the rise to the tune of 54.5% in ESPN leagues, 51% in Yahoo! leagues and 59% in CBS leagues.
C A.J. Pierzynski, Chicago White Sox: Pierzynski has a history of being a decent enough offensive catcher to be owned in most fantasy baseball leagues (career .285 BA with 14 HR per 162 games played), so I was surprised to see how widely available he is this season especially since he's off to a hot .348/6/4/14/0 start. With all the talk about Yadier Molina and Matt Wieters hot starts, A.J. is actually the 2nd-ranked catcher behind Mike Napoli on ESPN's Player Rater tool.
SP Bartolo Colon, Oakland Athletics: Colon is off to a hot start with a 3-1 record, 2.63 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and three quality starts. His 6.26 K/9 ratio isn't much to get excited about unless you look at his 19/2 K/BB ratio. At one point in his last start against the Los Angeles Angels, he threw 38 consecutive strikes. If you're looking for a pitcher to fill an early-season void on your staff, give Colon a serious look. He's only owned in 38.8% of ESPN leagues, 55% of Yahoo! leagues and surprisingly, 85% of CBS leagues. Oh, and be ready to bail if things go south quickly.
RP Henry Rodriguez, Washington Nationals: Rodriguez is currently sharing save opportunities with Brad Lidge (yes, THAT Lidge) but it's hard to imagine that last much longer if Lidge continues to have shaky outings. HROD is now 4-for-4 is save opportunities and hasn't allowed an earned run in 7.1 innings. Oh, by the way, he's only allowed one hit and batters are hitting just .o43 against him with 9 strikeouts for a 11.05 K/9 ratio. Negatively, he's issued six walks in just those 7.1 innings but the overall results are hard to ignore. Grab him now if you are in need of saves and maybe even holds, if your league uses this stat as a scoring category. He's only owned in 32.7% of ESPN leagues, 55% of Yahoo! leagues and 51% of CBS leagues.
That's all I have for you now. Be sure to stay aware and active on your leagues waiver wire as this is the time of year owners make foolish decisions on which players to drop when making a move. I was able to grab B.J. Upton in one league just days before he was to be activated from the DL and promptly scooped him up and clipped him in a trade.

Hi guys. I'm new here and have just spent the best half an hour in a long time reading through all your posts in this thread. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful photographs and comments on these truly amazing classic bikes. Just last week I acquired a fully restored '78 XT500 and I am absolutely thrilled to bits with her.
I stopped biking 15 years ago after a major accident on one of my road bikes. Peer pressure forced me to sell and get myself a car. Shortly thereafter, I got myself a 4x4 and this was the start of a love affair for all things offroad. My thoughts have often returned to biking, but not the road bikes that I used to ride, but something that would be more at home in the offroad environment. The XT500 was always in the back of my mind, it was my dream bike as a young teenager in the mid 70's. I've always wanted one, and now at last I have my very own to love and cherish! I'll be posting one or two pics just as soon as I get around to taking them. In the meantime, please keep the awesome posts coming. I agree that this thread should be kept alive! Thanks again!
Best regards

34 year old man | New York, NY, USA | Seeking women 26-34 within 50 miles of Marlboro, NJ
Wanted: Awesomeness, reward if found!
I'm a smart, fun, adventurous, well-balanced guy that's looking for his other half. I'll try almost anything me or any of my friends can conjure up and thrive on expanding my horizons, whether it's through new activities, food, or mentally through cool conversation. That doesn't mean I don't have favorites, which would be skiing, tennis, and golf! I truly love traveling and have been fortunate enough to travel to every continent except South America and Antarctica. Now sure, everyone on here says they love to travel, but truly I am always dreaming of my next trip, whether it's a super-nice hotel in Monaco or the Maldives or hiking the Inca Trail in Machu Picchu, my bags are packed and I'm ready! I have a great group of friends I wouldn't trade them for anything. I love backyard barbecues or similar chill-with-the-right-people events but I'm game to hit up some parties if that's what's going on. Good food is something I'm always on the search for, whether it's a new recipe (I'm a pretty good cook!) or a new restaurant I'm always on the lookout for that new best dish! Music is a necessity for me, I'm always on the search for new music and artists and you'll usually find me listening to some tunes in te background wherever and whenever I can get away with it. Ambient/Downtempo and Rap currently top the list but I'm open to all other except most country. Here's some random tidbits: I prefer movies over TV, comedy over drama, wine/whiskey over beer, lounges/bars over clubs. Ok that's enough! Who am I looking for? I'd like to find an independent, fun, adventurous, and smart gal who isn't afraid to try new things (ok, at least without a little bit of coaxing). Hopefully that sounds like you! :)

Oral Health America Announces 14th Annual NSTEP Slogan Contest
Posted on July 1, 2015
CHICAGO, July 1 — Oral Health America (OHA) is pleased to announce the launch of its 14th annual NSTEP® (National Spit Tobacco Project) slogan contest. Teaming up with Little League® Baseball and Softball, the contest calls on players ages 8-14 to create a compelling ten-word phrase describing the dangers of spit tobacco for a chance to win a trip to the Little League Baseball® World Series.
In addition to its long history with baseball, spit tobacco is used more frequently by young people—almost half (46%) of new users start before they reach the age of 18. Spit tobacco is linked to cancer of the mouth, throat, tongue, stomach and esophagus, mouth lesions, receding gums, tooth decay and tooth loss. Through the slogan contest, OHA and Little League reach tens of thousands of young people each year with the message that spit tobacco is dangerous and should be avoided.
"Little League is committed to providing proper health and wellbeing for children throughout the world," said Stephen D. Keener, President and CEO of Little League Baseball and Softball. "Smokeless tobacco has no place whatsoever in the lives of our youth. We applaud Oral Health America's effort in keeping children away from smokeless tobacco and starting the conversation with so many parents about the dangers associated with its use. The NSTEP Slogan Contest is a great way to engage children and their families and educate them on the risks associated with smokeless tobacco."
"Every summer we hear from parents across the country who use the slogan contest as an opportunity to talk to their children about spit tobacco for the first time," said OHA President and CEO Beth Truett. "All tobacco products are harmful and we look forward to reaching even more young people with this important message."
For the first time contest participants will be able to submit their slogans online by filling out a simple form. The winner will receive an all-expense paid trip to the Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pa. and a $500 cash prize. In addition, OHA will make a $500 donation to the player's Little League organization. For more information about the contest or to submit a slogan, please visit nstep.org/contest.
AAE and AAOMR Issue Position Statement on 3-D Imaging in Endodontics
Posted on July 1, 2015
CHICAGO – In response to new developments and research indicating the effectiveness of 3-D imaging for endodontic diagnosis and treatment, the American Association of Endodontists and the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology have issued a revised position statement on the use of cone beam-computed tomography in endodontics. The joint statement is an update to a 2010 position on CBCT use in endodontics.
An AAE-AAOMR committee reviewed the scientific literature from the past five years, and updated the position statement to include specific recommendations for the appropriate use of CBCT. The statement emphasizes that CBCT should not be used routinely for endodontic diagnosis or screening purposes in the absence of clinical signs and symptoms, and provides 11 specific recommendations and supporting evidence for when CBCT should be considered the imaging modality of choice. The statement is consistent with principles of ALARA—keeping patient radiation doses "as low as reasonably achievable," and notes that the patient's history and clinical examination must justify the use of CBCT by demonstrating that the benefits to the patient outweigh the potential risks.
"Endodontists continue to have excellent results with two-dimensional radiography," said AAE President Dr. Terryl A. Propper. "However, limited field of view CBCT does have a place in endodontics when dealing with more complex cases, which are reflected in the position statement. Our goal is to help AAE members and general dentists determine where it fits for them."
"Dental imaging is interlaced with endodontics not only for accurate diagnosis but for periodic evaluation of certain treatment outcomes," said AAOMR President Dr. Christos Angelopoulos. "Complex cases may require the use of advanced imaging modalities such as CBCT for proper diagnoses, although advanced imaging may not be necessary as a routine diagnostic tool. The collaboration of AAOMR and the AAE aims to provide guidance to general dentists and endodontists based on the available evidence. The main goal of the two organizations is simply to guide practitioners toward 'best practice'."
The current position statement was drafted by a special joint committee of leading experts in the area of CBCT in endodontics. Each organization appointed four representatives. Dr. Mohamed I. Fayad of the University of Illinois at Chicago, appointed by the AAE, and Dr. Madhu K. Nair of the University of Florida, appointed by the AAOMR, served as co-chairs of the committee. AAE Members Drs. Craig S. Hirschberg, Martin D. Levin and Richard A. Rubinstein also served on the committee, along with Drs. Sevin Barghan, Erika Benavides and Axel Ruprecht from the AAOMR. The position statement is available at www.aae.org/guidelines.

Tufts: Sugary Drinks Linked to High Death Tolls Worldwide
Posted on July 1, 2015
BOSTON (June 29, 2015, 4 pm ET) — Consumption of sugary drinks may lead to an estimated 184,000 adult deaths each year worldwide, according to research published today in the journal Circulation and previously presented as an abstract at the American Heart Association Council on Epidemiology and Prevention in 2013.
"Many countries in the world have a significant number of deaths occurring from a single dietary factor, sugar-sweetened beverages. It should be a global priority to substantially reduce or eliminate sugar-sweetened beverages from the diet," said Dariush Mozaffarian, M.D., Dr.P.H., senior author of the study and dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science & Policy at Tufts University in Boston.
In the first detailed global report on the impact of sugar-sweetened beverages, researchers estimated deaths and disabilities from diabetes, heart disease, and cancers in 2010. In this analysis, sugar sweetened beverages were defined as any sugar-sweetened sodas, fruit drinks, sports/energy drinks, sweetened iced teas, or homemade sugary drinks such as frescas, that contained at least 50 kcal per 8oz serving. 100 percent fruit juice was excluded.
Estimates of consumption were made from 62 dietary surveys including 611,971 individuals conducted between 1980 and 2010 across 51 countries, along with data on national availability of sugar in 187 countries and other information. This allowed capture of geographical, gender and age variation in consumption levels of sugar-sweetened beverages in different populations. Based on meta-analyses of other published evidence on health harms of sugar-sweetened beverages, the investigators calculated the direct impact on diabetes and the obesity-related effects on cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.
In 2010, the researchers estimate that sugar-sweetened beverages consumption may have been responsible for approximately:
133,000 deaths from diabetes
45,000 deaths from cardiovascular disease
6,450 deaths from cancer
"Some population dietary changes, such as increasing fruits and vegetables, can be challenging due to agriculture, costs, storage, and other complexities. This is not complicated. There are no health benefits from sugar-sweetened beverages, and the potential impact of reducing consumption is saving tens of thousands of deaths each year," Mozaffarian said.
The impact of sugar-sweetened beverages varied greatly between populations. At the extremes, the estimated percentage of deaths was less than 1 percent in Japanese over 65 years old, but 30 percent in Mexican adults younger than 45.
Of the 20 most populous countries, Mexico had the highest death rate attributable to sugar-sweetened beverages with an estimated 405 deaths per million adults (24,000 total deaths) and the U.S. ranked second with an estimated 125 deaths per million adults (25,000 total deaths).
About 76 percent of the estimated sugar-sweetened beverage-related deaths occurred in low- or middle-income countries.
In nations of the Caribbean and Latin America, such as Mexico, homemade sugary drinks (e.g. frescas) are popular and consumed in addition to commercially prepared sugar-sweetened beverages. "Among the 20 countries with the highest estimated sugar-sweetened beverage-related deaths, at least 8 were in Latin America and the Caribbean, reflecting the high intakes in that region of the world," said Gitanjali Singh, Ph.D., lead author of the study and a research assistant professor at the Friedman School.
Overall, in younger adults, the percent of chronic disease attributed to sugar-sweetened beverages was higher than the percent in older adults.
"The health impact of sugar-sweetened beverage intake on the young is important because younger adults form a large sector of the workforce in many countries, so the economic impact of sugar-sweetened beverage-related deaths and disability in this age group can be significant. It also raises concerns about the future. If these young people continue to consume high levels as they age, the effects of high consumption will be compounded by the effects of aging, leading to even higher death and disability rates from heart disease and diabetes than we are seeing now," Singh said.
Other co-authors are Renata Micha, Ph.D.; Shahab Khatibzadeh, M.D.; Stephen Lim, Ph.D.; and Majid Ezzati, Ph.D. Author disclosures are on the manuscript.
Singh was supported by a training grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (DK007703) and a K00/R00 Pathway to Independence Award from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (1K99HL124321). Initial data collection for this work was supported by a grant from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to the 2010 Global Burden of Diseases study.

IADR/AADR Publish Proceedings: Oral Health Inequalities in Africa and the Middle-East Region
Posted on June 30, 2015
Alexandria, Va., USA – The International and American Associations for Dental Research (IADR/AADR) have published the proceedings from the IADR symposium titled "Oral Health Inequalities in Africa and the Middle-East Region," which took place June 24, 2014, in Cape Town, South Africa. This symposium was held in conjunction with the 92nd General Session of the IADR. The proceedings are published in the July issue of the IADR/AADR Advances in Dental Research, an E-supplement to the Journal of Dental Research. Eino Honkala, Kuwait University, served as a guest editor of this Advances issue.
The symposium prepared a suitable situation analysis of the inequalities related to oral health in the Africa/Middle East Region by forming task groups for the different areas suggested by the IADR Global Oral Health Inequalities Research Network. The Task Groups identified and reviewed the existing knowledge bases and key gaps in knowledge and regional variations; priorities for both basic and applied research; and a five-year research agenda and goals for improvements in oral health and reducing inequalities in the IADR Africa/Middle East Region, with particular reference to inequalities between and within countries.
"These reviews will be important to policymakers for investments in research, capacity building, risk factor reduction and health promotion aimed at reducing oral health inequalities in Africa and the Middle East," said Guest Editor Eino Honkala. A companion editorial to the Advances issue can be found in the July Issue of the Journal of Dental Research authored by Dr. Honkala as well as Drs. Aubrey Sheiham and David Williams highlighting the impact this work is having on the Africa and Middle East Region.
The symposium was made possible through support from the Borrow Milk Foundation and the IADR Regional Development Program. To read the proceedings from the Oral Health Inequalities in Africa and the Middle-East Region symposium, please visit http://adr.sagepub.com or contact Ingrid L. Thomas at email@example.com to request PDFs of the articles.

Scion Dental Executives Address NHCAA on Preventing Pediatric Over Treatment in Medicaid Dentistry
Posted on June 29, 2015
MEQUON, Wisc. -- June 30, 2015 -- "The abuse of children enrolled in Medicaid dental programs is a continuing problem that needs to be addressed." This is the core message Craig Kasten, founder of Scion Dental and John Schaak, the company's new president, emphatically delivered during a recent webinar for members of the National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association® (NHCAA).
In their presentation "Potential for Abuse in Patient Restorative Services," Kasten and Schaak began by explaining the important differences between working with Medicaid and commercial dental plans. Scion Dental has more than 20 years of experience in Medicaid dental benefit administration and continues to lead the industry through its focus on innovative program management, exceptional technology, strategic provider and member outreach, and bottom-line results. The company also offers commercial benefit management services, giving it first-hand experience with both types of plans.
After setting this baseline, Kasten and Schaak then detailed several heartbreaking stories of children who had likely been abused by unscrupulous dental providers. Included were instances of children being painfully over-treated, sometimes without even the benefit of anesthesia, as a way of increasing dental provider revenue at the expense of Medicaid. The majority of these examples were taken from Scion Dental's own proprietary research, while others were ripped from the headlines of local and national media or chronicled in the reports following recent investigations by the U.S. Senate and the Office of the Inspector General.
"What makes this abuse particularly tragic is these young patients usually have no other options for dental care since only 15 percent of dentists participate in Medicaid dental programs overall," Kasten said. "In addition, their parents rely upon these dentists for their professional opinion and their guidance in making decisions about their child's dental care. These and other factors put children at tremendous risk from dentists who choose to take advantage of the system, especially since they know it can be difficult for payers to spot patterns of repeat fraud and abuse without the right tools to detect abuse."
The final section of the presentation offered a three-part game plan that NHCAA members and other healthcare and insurance executives can follow to discover and help prevent fraudulent and abusive practices. The plan includes education about the abuses and how to recognize them, industry collaboration between the NHCAA, the American Dental Association (ADA) and others to develop and enforce sanctions, and the use of technology-aided solutions to discover and prevent instances of abuse.
Among the technologies recommended is the use of a web-based portal that can generate profiles showing the frequency with which a given dentist provided a particular service, or services, within specific age bands compared to other Medicaid dentists in their area, or across the U.S. These age-banded profiles make it easier to spot those dentists who are exceeding the national average so they can be investigated and, if found guilty of wrongdoing, appropriately sanctioned. At the same time, they will also help identify those dentists who do a great job in providing services to the Medicaid program.
"The fee-for-service reimbursement system continues to reward over treatment at the expense of many dentists who do a terrific job in rendering care to this vulnerable population," Kasten said. "Taking advantage of anyone seeking care for financial gain is not just illegal; it is morally and ethically wrong. But taking advantage of children from under-served populations, and putting them through this type of unnecessary suffering, is simply unconscionable. Yet it goes on because certain providers have been able to hide in the shadows."
"We hope that by showing how technology can shine a bright spotlight on those perpetrating fraud and abuse, and highlighting those doing it right, we can help ensure the children of Medicaid beneficiaries are receiving the same level of care we all want for all of our children. We thank the NHCAA for the opportunity to make this presentation to their membership and look forward to working with them on this issue in the future," Kasten added.

New Study: Alcohol Consumption Can Have a Negative Impact on Gum Health
Posted on June 29, 2015
CHICAGO (June 29, 2015)—In a recent study published ahead of print in the Journal of Periodontology, Brazilian researchers have found that consumption of alcoholic beverages can have adverse effects on the health of a person's gums, aggravating existing cases of severe periodontal disease or increasing periodontal disease risk factors. Moreover, previous research indicates that poor oral hygiene is a common trait in alcohol users, thus increasing drinkers' susceptibility for developing periodontal disease.
"Although the topic of alcohol use and its effect on periodontal health requires further research, this report offers valuable insight on why our patients should care for their gums and teeth, especially if they enjoy the occasional drink," remarked Joan Otomo-Corgel, DDS, MPH, President of the American Academy of Periodontology.
In the study entitled, "Alcohol Consumption and Periodontitis: Quantification of Periodontal Pathogens and Cytokines," researchers assessed a sample of 542 regular alcohol users, occasional drinkers, and non-drinkers both with and without periodontitis.
Some key findings noted in the study include:
· The severity of a regular alcohol user's existing periodontitis correlated incrementally with the frequency of his or her alcohol consumption. As a result, these individuals were found to require additional periodontal treatment.
· Drinkers without periodontitis saw an increased incidence of gums that bled with gentle manipulation.
· More frequently than the non-drinkers in the study, drinkers who did not have periodontitis presented clinical attachment levels of four millimeters or greater.
· Drinkers without periodontitis exhibited a higher presence of plaque than their non-drinking counterparts. Study researchers noted that alcohol's drying effect on the mouth may contribute to the formation of plaque that can trigger an inflammatory response in the gums.
"Alcohol slows the production of saliva, which helps neutralize the acids produced by plaque, and an accumulation of these acids can lead to the early stages of periodontal disease," continued Dr. Otomo-Corgel. "For patients who are diagnosed with periodontal disease, it's imperative that they are encouraged to be completely honest about their drinking habits. This information can guide in determining appropriate treatment and next steps."
A full version of "Alcohol Consumption and Periodontitis: Quantification of Periodontal Pathogens and Cytokines," study can be found in an upcoming print edition of the Journal of Periodontology.

IAG chief Willie Walsh has praised the Iberia management team led by Luis Gallego after a year in which the Spanish carrier more than halved its operating loss – from €351 million to €166 million – through cost cuts and improvements in unit revenues.
"I think the impact they've had in the short time they've been running the business has been truly phenomenal," says Walsh. "You can see that the progress is reflected in the financial performance."
Walsh indicates that the focus now is on "the opportunity that will be provided to us going forward once we reach formal agreement with the trade unions on the restructuring of the business".
Iberia has reached preliminary agreement with pilot union SEPLA and cabin crew representatives on deals covering salary reductions, productivity improvements, new pay scales, and potential redundancies.

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
Congressman Jared Polis.
Congressman Jared Polis and his partner Marlon Reis have announced the birth of their son Caspian Julius on September 30, 2011.
The Colorado Democrat reported that his child was born weighing 8lbs., 12oz. He added, "Baby and parents are doing well, baby has learned to cry already!"
The announcement asked for "No gifts please, just nice thoughts for Caspian, humankind, the planet, and the universe!"
The proud parents have not revealed other details of the boy's conception and birth.
Polis is one of four openly gay members of Congress. The other three are Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, David Cicilline of Rhode Island, and Barney Frank of Massachusetts.
He is co-sponsor of the "Every Child Deserves a Family Act," which is pending in Congress. The bill would prohibit discrimination in adoption or foster care placement based on the sexual orientation, marital status, or gender identity of the potential parent, or the sexual orientation or gender identity of the child.

Originally written on The Cardinal Connect | Last updated 10/30/12
With position company like DeVante Parker, Damian Copeland, and Eli Rogers you don't often hear enough about an extremely reliable wide receiver in Andrell Smith. With an knack for going un-noticed at times, his game has been far from quiet on paper. After missing some time during his senior year of high school, Smith came to Louisville as a 2-star prospect out of Miami Florida and the 15th ranked prospect out of Dade County. Andrell played primarily on special teams as a true freshman for the Cards, but turned in a solid sophomore season starting all 13 games and finishing fourth on the team with 25 receptions for 377 yards and three touchdowns. Regressing a bit his junior season Smith managed only six starts in 12 games with 207 yards and one TD. A stigma that has stuck with Andrell over his career is an inconsistency catching the ball while at times finding a way to make ridiculously athletic plays to bring the ball inand/or get the necessary yards after catch. Thankful

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, author Lisa Cron digs into the craft of writing a compelling story based on what the brain is wired to respond to in every story we hear. Whether you're writing a story from scratch, or revising your story for the umpteenth time, this course offers practical how-to advice, then illustrates it using before-and-after examples. Discover how to craft a first page, zero in on your story's point, create empathy, find a character's secret goals and inner issues, translate generics into specifics, write for suspense, create cause-and-effect connections, build momentum and tension, and deftly implement setups, payoffs, flashbacks, subplots, and foreshadowing.
All stories make a point beginning on Page 1, which means the reader needs to have an idea of what that point is from the get-go. It's like when your friend is rambling on about something that happened yesterday, and you nod and smile politely while a little voice in your head screams, okay, okay, but what's your point? Same with a story. If you zero in on your point before you begin writing, not only will your story be easier to craft, but you'll spend less time rewriting. If you know what your story's point is, it allows you to filter out everything that's irrelevant.
This is crucial because as far as the reader is concerned, everything in a story is there strictly on a need-to-know basis. If they didn't need to know it, you wouldn't bother telling them about it. They assume that everything you tell them will have a story consequence. So, if you include things they don't need to know, they are going to read meaning into it anyway, and it will inherently be the wrong meaning, since there isn't a right one, which means pretty soon your story will stop making sense. That's why knowing your story's point is one of the most important things to pin down before you begin writing.
Without a point, a story isn't about anything. It's just a bunch of things that happen. I can't tell you how many manuscripts I have read where if someone asks me, what's it about? I'd say it's about 300 pages, I have no idea. So, how do you zero in on your point? By focusing on three essential elements that together are the foundation that a story is built on? First, the Theme. Theme, I know can seem intimidating, but it actually boils down to something very simple.
What are you saying about human nature? In other words, the theme defines how the characters will treat each other. It's interesting to note that the theme sets the story's tone, and the tone sets the reader's mood. For instance, in a lighthearted romantic comedy, tone is bright and sunny, and we know that love not only can save the day, but it actually will. In a more Realistic universe, the tone is a little grittier, and although there will be genuine misunderstandings between the characters, love will be worth it, probably.
Second, your protagonist's inner issue, which is an internal conflict or belief that holding him back and that he must deal with and overcome in order to achieve his goal. Third is the Plot, that is the escalating cause-and-effect progression of external events constructed to force your protagonist to deal with his inner issue if he wants to solve the story problem. Once you have pinpointed your story's theme and your protagonist's inner issue, you can craft a plot that will make your story's point.
Let's explore this a little further by seeing how it works in action in the next movie.
