Cow's eye in high-school. Didn't really got a lot out of it.
And yeah, I'm in medschool so I guess you know what that means. Let's just say that two straight weeks of dissecting the same "subject" in the middle of February in Sweden, when you don't ever see the sun if you spend the day in an autopsy room, gives you a whole new outlook on life.

Re: Patricia Maria Tig
Nice week for Patty. Pity for the final she was definitely the better one and I agree with grs, in contrast to Sorana she showed some pacience when had to deal with Sharon's moonballing.
She tried to adjust her tactics in the final set and responded with less riskier balls. And seems to be a fighter too.
But I think she has to improve her movement on the court to cope with a more aggresive and better player
Anyway a girl to watch, with nice game and good potential

Now, thanks to Bill Berkowitz at the Working for Change website, I've got a statistic to quote for the success rate of Amway distributors. Here it is:
"99 percent of those recruited into Amway Quixtar motivational organizations lose money."
So who is making money? The article says a Dateline investigation confirmed that,
"The company is merely a front for a hidden pyramid business based on selling books, tapes, and registrations to seminars and rallies to new recruits, with nearly all participants losing money."I encourage readers to scan Berkowtiz article and download the free book mentioned in the article.

The barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) dehydrin multigene family: sequences, allele types, chromosome assignments, and expression characteristics of 11 Dhn genes of cv Dicktoo

Dehydrins (LEA D11 proteins) have been identified in both higher and lower plants, and are associated with tolerance to, or response to the onset of, low temperature or dehydration. Several studies have suggested that specific alleles of Dhn genes may contribute to a number of phenotypic traits, including the emergence of seedlings in cool or saline soils and the frost tolerance of more-mature plants. However, an incomplete collection of the Dhn multigene family in any system and nucleic acid cross-hybridization between Dhn gene-family members have limited the precision of these studies. We attempted to overcome these impediments by determining the nucleotide sequences of the entire Dhn multigene family in barley and by developing gene-specific probes. We identified 11 unique Dicktoo Dhn genes. Seven appear to be alleles of Dhn genes identified previously in other barley cultivars. Another, Dhn9, appears to be orthologous to a Triticum durum Dhn gene. A statistical analysis of the total collection of genomic clones brings the estimated size of the barley Dhn gene family to 13. Allelic differences in the protein-coding regions appear to result principally from duplications of entire Φ-segments or single amino-acid substitutions, suggesting that polypeptide structural constraints have been a strong force in the evolution of Dhn alleles. Chromosome mapping by PCR with wheat-barley addition lines established the presence of Dhn genes in four barley chromosomes (3H, 4H, 5H, 6H). RT-PCR demonstrated that the Dhn genes are differentially regulated under dehydration, low temperature and ABA treatment, consistent with putative regulatory elements located upstream of the respective Dhn coding regions. This whole-genome, gene-specific study unifies what previously seemed to be disparate-mapping, expression, and genetic-variation data for Dhn genes in the Triticeae and other plant systems.

Vintage: 2012
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is one of the planet's most widely grown and enjoyed grape varietals, and thanks to the popularity of the key wines it is associated with – Burgundy and Champagne – it has successfully spread from its native home in France to much of the wine producing world. Pinot Noir means 'black pine' in French, and this refers to the extremely dark, inky color of the fruit, and the fact that it grows in conical bunches, resembling a large pine cone. It has long been revered for its wide range of refreshing, summery flavors, and the fact that it produces red wines of a beautiful garnet color and light body. More recently, sparkling wines made exclusively with Pinot Noir have been extremely popular, and the orchard notes found in the fizzy 'blanc des noirs' wines mark out just how versatile this grape varietal really is. Despite being notoriously difficult to grow, it isn't hard to see why this grape is now found in vineyards all over the world, as it is synonymous with romance and decadence, quality and fantastic flavor
Region: California
It isn't difficult to see how California became one of the world's most important, successful and influential wine regions. Since the first vines were planted in the state by Spanish pioneers in the 18th century, the region has made the most of its ideal climatic conditions, which range from hot, dry and arid to windswept and cool, for vineyard cultivation and wine production. Today, California has almost half a million acres under vine, and hundreds of independent and well established wineries dotted across its vast wine-making areas. Californian wines range from the traditional, and those emulating fine Old World wines, to the experimental and unique, and it is the home to many of the world's most exciting and trailblazing wineries producing excellent bottles for the global market.
Country: United States
Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.
Appellation: Sonoma Valley
Often referred to as the 'birthplace of Californian wines', the beautiful and expansive Sonoma Valley has long been seen as something of a vibrant and beating heart within the American wine industry. The 'valley of the moon', as it is affectionately known, benefits enormously from the blazing Californian sunshine it receives throughout the long, hot and dry summers, and exceptionally warm autumns in which the vast array of grape varietals found there ripen. Sonoma Valley is most famous for big, full-bodied and flavorful red wine grapes, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as many excellent white wine grapes. Due to the volcanic soils of the region, fed by thermal springs packed full of minerals, the soil is wonderfully fertile and capable of supporting a wide variety of grape species.

Early Reviews Give Apple Watch One and a Half Thumbs Up
April 8, 2015
The prelaunch reviews of the Apple Watch are out, and though they're generally favorable, they include a few niggling complaints. A select group of reviewers were loaned an Apple Watch for a week. Overall, their consensus is that it's a fine device for tracking health and fitness, it's great for making digital payments, and it has excellent battery life.

This is a bit of a surprise, given that the third-generation Apple TV incorporated the higher-resolution 1080p video standard and included HDMI-video outputs.

For one brief shining moment, it appeared that Amazon and the FAA were in concert on outdoor drone testing in the U.S., but in testimony before a Senate subcommittee hearing held Tuesday, Amazon put paid to that notion. Although the FAA last week granted Amazon permission to conduct outdoor tests, the unmanned aircraft system covered by the authorization is no longer in use.
Over-the-Air Tinkering Keeps Tesla's Model S New
March 25, 2015
Tesla CEO Elon Musk last week said that the company's line of high-end electric cars will get some autonomous driving capabilities via an over-the-air software update this summer. The new features will let drivers give their vehicles control of certain tasks on major roads, possibly even highways. Other software updates for the Tesla S already are rolling out.
Magic Leap Allows a Peek Into Its Crazy-Cool AR World
March 24, 2015
Magic Leap CEO Rony Abovitz was scheduled to present last week at a TED talk in Vancouver, where he was expected to reveal the augmented reality tech his company has up its sleeve. Magic Leap pulled out a few days ahead of the presentation, but it left the tech world with a teaser trailer showing an AR game being played on a working prototype of its headset.
Glass Is Still a Twinkle in Google's Eye
March 23, 2015
Google hasn't killed Glass, its controversial Internet-connected eyewear, CEO Eric Schmidt said in an interview published Monday. In fact, Google plans to bring out a new version of Glass later this year, he said. Rumors of its demise seemed to be confirmed in January, when Google abruptly stopped selling the initial version of Glass and shuttered its Explorer program.
Gadget Ogling: Cute Robots, Secure Tablets and a Conscientious Can
March 21, 2015
PLEN2 is simply adorable. A robot to seemingly fix all the world's problems, if its Kickstarter project is anything to believe, PLEN2 is possibly the most joyous humanoid machine I've seen in years. Maybe I'm swayed a little by the infectious theme song in the pitch video. The idea is to sell the basic robot and let customers get creative using open source tools and 3D-printed parts.
PlayStation Vue Could Put Cable TV in Rear-View Mirror
March 19, 2015
Sony on Wednesday launched its PlayStation Vue streaming service in New York City, Chicago and Philadelphia. A combination of live and on-demand TV with a cloud-based DVR, Vue is available on the PS4 and PS3 in those cities. Users' favorite shows and channels will be right on the home screen whenever they fire up the service. The DVR lets users save favorite shows and store them for up to 28 days.
Musk: Technology May Revoke Your Driver's License
March 19, 2015
There will come a time, in a future not so far away, when it will be illegal for the average person to drive a car, predicted Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Autonomous vehicles will be exponentially safer, he said Tuesday at Nvidia's 2015 GPU Technology Conference in San Jose, California. Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang took the stage with Musk for an unrehearsed conversation about the future of cars.
The Road Ahead for Self-Driving Cars
March 19, 2015
While several automakers are currently in the process of developing autonomous vehicles, the road ahead for self-driving cars could be long, with numerous obstacles to overcome. According to the recent Autonomous Vehicles 2015-2035 report, published by IDTechEx, the challenges and technology have much in common. So far, progress toward a completely driverless car is in the slow lane.
Windows Hello Waves Off Passwords
March 18, 2015
Microsoft on Tuesday announced Windows Hello, a feature that allows users to access computers and devices running Windows 10 via face recognition, iris identification or fingerprint matching. In addition, the company raised the curtain on Microsoft Passport, a programming system that IT managers, software developers and website authors can use for signing in to websites and applications.
Feds Put Big Money Into IT Innovations
March 18, 2015
The U.S. government spends tens of billions of dollars each year just to make sure that computer and data processing systems keep functioning on a day-to-day basis. With so much investment allocated for operations and maintenance of legacy systems, it makes sense that far fewer dollars are available for cutting-edge information technology investment -- also known as "DME" spending.
Talking Barbie Says Hello, Parents Say Goodbye
March 18, 2015
It's not so much Hello Barbie's talking -- it's her listening that has parents up in arms. Here's how Hello Barbie works: A kid presses on the doll's belt buckle and speaks into a microphone in the doll's necklace. An AI system processes and analyzes that speech in the cloud. Responses are then streamed back to the doll, who replies to the kid -- all over a secure WiFi connection to the Internet.
Big Robo-Bird Trains to Be Fastest on 2 Feet
March 17, 2015
Becoming the fastest of its kind is just a byproduct of the ATRIAS robot's primary objective. Oregon State University's biped is the focus of a loftier goal: to build an entire industry on its leg locomotion mechanics. Researchers have been drawing inspiration for ATRIAS from birds, and the science will grow from there, said Jonathan W. Hurst, associate professor of mechanical engineering at OSU.
Gadget Ogling: Falling Apples and Magical Pancakes
March 14, 2015
Apple dropped a few new facts about its Watch at this week's presentation. The hardware is interesting in that Apple is limiting what people can do with their 8 GB of storage. No more than a quarter of that can be filed with music, and photos can take up just 75 MB, which seems somewhat rudimentary. I'm glad to see the battery apparently lasts enough to see out a full day.
Cortana Could Edge Out Siri, Google Now
March 13, 2015
Microsoft later this year will offer its Cortana personal assistant as a standalone app for iOS and Android devices. The engine behind Cortana is "arguably better than [Siri or Google Now] simply because it's far more mature and comprehensive," said tech analyst Rob Enderle. The Cortana personal assistant evolved from the AI character Cortana in the Halo video game series.
No Fuel? No Problem - Solar Plane Completes 2nd Leg in Round-the-World Trip
March 11, 2015
Fueled solely by the sun, the Solar Impulse 2 has completed the second leg of its historic journey around the world, landing in Ahmedabad, India. A decade-old dream is actualizing for the team. The solar plane began its historic flight in Abu Dhabi on Monday and landed early Tuesday at Muscat, Oman. The second leg took 15 hours, with the Solar Impulse 2 arriving late Tuesday night in Ahmedabad.
What Mobile World Congress Delivered Besides Same-Old Smartphones
March 10, 2015
The latest handsets and tablets received their share of headlines at this year's MWC, but their mindshare shrank considerably. Sony unveiled its Xperia Z4 tablet, possibly its last hurrah in the mobile space. Meanwhile, Samsung's Galaxy S6 smartphone stole the spotlight. However, with more than 2,000 tech organizations promoting their wares and services, MWC 2015 offered a fresh set of promises.
Gadget Ogling: Slick, Dull and Outlandish Smartphones, a Powerful Shield and Invisibility Glasses
March 10, 2015
Samsung is trying something a little different while simultaneously positioning its S6 and S6 edge as the market's dominant Android smartphones. Sure, they're faster, smarter, brighter, stronger and more powerful than previous models -- as you might expect in a flagship refresh -- and that's all terribly pedestrian. Still, I love the edge concept. I'm glad to see Samsung continue and expand it.

Denmark has dealt a blow to the long-term health of the NATO Flying Training in Canada (NFTC) scheme by announcing that it intends to stop sending pilots and instructors to use the Bombardier-run system from early 2011.
To mark the termination of a 20-year contract at the halfway point, the requested step could see Copenhagen instead focus its training activities in North America using the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training system at Sheppard AFB in Texas, where it also currently sends students. Negotiations with Canada's Department of National Defence (DND) continue over its proposed withdrawal, which Ottawa says is possible - following a "financial readjustment" - under the terms of a bilateral memorandum of understanding.
Denmark was the first overseas customer for NFTC and was pivotal in the project's launch late last decade. Its current commitment of around six students a year places it third in utilisation terms behind Canada and the UK, with the latter also expected to stop using the system when its Military Flying Training System becomes fully operational early next decade.
Other existing users of the NFTC framework are Hungary, Italy and Singapore.
Danish students currently pass through Phase IIA/B basic and Phase III advanced jet training elements at Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan using the Raytheon T-6 Harvard II and BAE Systems Hawk 115, before completing Phase IV lead-in fighter training work on the Hawk at Cold Lake, Alberta. Around 25 Danish students have graduated from NFTC since training started in 2000, with Copenhagen also having seven instructors assigned to the multinational system late last year.
Lt Col Marc Moffatt, the DND's head of international training programmes, says Ottawa will have to deal with "some financial implications" if Denmark withdraws from the NFTC system, but that the scheme will continue to deliver training services as planned until 2020-21.
Bombardier and the DND meanwhile hope to conclude negotiations soon with three nations - including two current Hawk users - which have shown recent interest in participating in elements of the NFTC programme, says Moffatt.

Reporting exam results
STEP 7. Analyze the data
Understanding how to interpret and use student exam scores is as important as knowing how to construct the exam. If you are using open-ended questions, one analysis approach is to use a scoring rubric. [more] If you are using multiple-choice or true/false fixed-choice questions, applying statistical tools, such as an item analysis, can provide useful information. [more]
STEP 8. Make conclusions
Evaluate your results based on how well students met course learning objectives. In addition, use exam results to change or improve future exams or instruction.
STEP 9. Report results
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. According to this law, you may not release grades or other non-directory information (i.e. social security numbers; student identification number, race, ethnicity, and/or nationality; gender; or transcripts) to anyone except the student (unless a prior written consent of the student is received). [more]
Therefore, grades or feedback from the exam must be kept confidential and only released directly to the student. You may report general results of the exams without providing any student identifiers (e.g. percentage of letter grades awarded) and still maintain confidentiality. When you report general results, be sure to include your overall impressions, how scores were calculated, and the contribution to the course grade. You should also share any information about dropped questions or other scoring abnormalities.

Company pays $10.5 million fine; no athletes specifically named
Updated: September 20, 2007, 8:15 PM ETESPN.com news services
BOSTON -- The U.S. Attorney's office here said Wednesday that a St. Louis company admitted distributing human growth hormone to athletes and entertainers, and agreed to pay a $10.5 million fine and to cooperate with investigators.
The company, Specialty Distribution Systems Inc. (a subsidiary of Express Scripts), said in a news release that it "does not condone the use of human growth hormone for anti-aging, cosmetic or performance-enhancement purposes."

Vishnu Chalisa in English
Glory, glory, all glory to you, O sovereign and support of the world ! You are the lord of all, most perfect, infinite, unborn, immanent, and the very God of the universe.
Glory to you, O support of the earth and ocean of Vedic knowledge ! Glory to you, O wielder of the club and treasure-house of all noble virtues ! O Krsna, you are the delight of Vasudeva and Devaki and destroyer of the noose of birth and death.
I reverence you again and again, O Lord of every animate and inanimate creature; I do obeisance to you, O Lord, attributeless and impersonal, and glorify youas the Lord of the three spheres, as the beloved consort of Kamala (Laksmi), as Kesava, and as supreme among the yogis.
Your banner, O Lord, is emblazoned with the figure of GaruRa; you are unborn, the dispeller of all worldly dread (0f birth and detah), Krsna the flute-player, the destroyer of Love and the enemy of Mura, Narayana, the beloved consort of Laksmi, the best among the humans, Vishnu when he assumed the form of half-lion and half-man, and the most exquisite of all.
Saluation to you, O Madhava, Mukunda and Vanamali ! You destroy the wicket and subdue the ill-bred. Glory to you, the possesor of an infinite number of senses and the bearer of the bow called Sarnga ! You are verily the world itself, Vamana, and the bestower of all happiness. (Madhava, Mukunda, Vanamali, Saramgadhara, Vamana, etc. are some of the countless names of Vishnu. They are also used for Krsna whom the scriptures describe as one of the incarnation of Vishnu).
Glory, glory to you, O Dhanamjaya (Vishnu), the sovereign ruler of the three spheres ! Glory, glory to you, the lord of the world who have myriads of names ! Glory to you O Madhusudana, whose features are matchless, who ride the wind, and who are like thunderbolt to the trees of the forest.
Glory to you, O Supereme Lord Krsna and Vishnu ! He who attends on you is rewarded with all the propitious fruits of his service. Your touching charm matches the beauty of the dark lotus and enchants all the gods, men, ascetics, and adepts who behold you.
Your forehead is broad and your head is bedecked with a resplendent crown; on your bosom lies the famous garland called Vaijayanti; your arched eyebrows look like a drawn bow and the eyes underneath them are ruddy like red lotuses.
Your nose, chin and cheeks, O Lord, are exceedingly lovely as are the corners of your lips when you smile; your teeth so alluringly set look like a row of gems, while your body dressed in yellow is supremely charming.
You are four-armed, in guise most beautiful and decked with ornaments. The position of your hands looks as if you are purging the world of its impurities. Your palms, which are red as lotus, are winsome and your virtues deep and inexhaustible as the ocean of tenderness and beauty. You are verily the treasure-house of bliss.
There is a conch-shell in your hand all bright and beautiful, an instrument whose musical sound is auspicious to the ears and ensures victory (to the suppliant). In your second hand lies a missile, the disc, as shining as the sun, which destroyed the host of wicked demons.
In your third hand lies an evershining club which unfailingly destroys all the physical, material and supernatural sufferings and evils. Your fourth hand holds lotus which grants all the four boons of life–wealth, religious merit, virility and liberation (from the cycle of birth and death, moksa).
Your conveyance is GaruRa who is swift as mind and whom you, Lord, forsake for the well-being of your votaries. Reaching there you protect their honour, for you are matchless, O Hari, in following your devotees.
Blessed, all blessed is your glory, O Lord, which transcends all comprehension by the senses and is infinite ! And blessed are you who love your devotees as your own children ! Whenever the demons afflicted the celestials, you made your appearance and relieved them of their distress.
When the assembly of gods like Brahma and Mahesa and all the company of hermits found their affliction beyond endurance you always appeared there in different forms and destroyed all the dreadful herd of demons.
The serpent Sesa is your couch, fully bedecked, in the midst of the ocean; in your company is the ever-resplendent goddess of wealth Laksmi, who is power supreme and an inexhaustible mine of riches. Blessed is she who bestows happiness, sustains devotion, and causes bliss.
O Vishnu, though your majesty is hymned by the Vedas and the Sastras, it is so measureless that even Sarasvati, the originator of letters and their meaning, and Sesa, for all his thousand-tongues cannot fathom it. You are the abode of all bliss to Laksmi, Radhika and Sita as Vishnu, Krsna and Rama, all of whom are the same.
Your forms are countless, incomparable and infinite; you are both personal and impersonal. To the Vedas there is no distinction between them, nor is there any difference between you and your votaries.
O Lord of the universe, Sundaradasa, a inhabitant of the village Tiwari, composed this hymn Vishnucalisa as well as he could for your devotees and dedicated it to you while still dwelling in the hermitage of the seer Durvasa at Allahabad.
He who chants, and induces others to chant, this hymn regularly with all attention is filled with the delight of both might and devotion; he abides in supreme happiness, recovers from disease and debt, and becomes increasingly prosperous, his wit growing sharper and sharper everyday.

And it's not like Marvel movies invented recasting. How many different actors have played Felix Leiter in the Bond movies? Johnny Weismuller had at least two different Janes in the old Tarzan flicks. Dr. Frankenstein's fiance went from being a blonde Mae Clarke in the original movie to being a brunette Valerie Hobson in BRIDE. Professor Moriarity was played by at least two different actors in the old Rathbone/Bruce "Sherlock Holmes" movies. And let's not forget Catwoman and the Riddler and Mr. Freeze in the original Batman tv series . . ..
The point being that recasting is like the sun rising in the east. It's always happened and it's always going to happen.
(And, yes, I watch too much TCM.)

Fraifeld said part of the anesthesiologists' job is not just to administer the right amount of medicine to leave people unconscious and pain-free, but to also constantly monitor numerous vital signs during the operation.
"We don't just monitor breathing but the depth of the respiration, heart rate, responses to stimulation -- are they holding still or are they moving around -- blood loss, urinary output, monitoring medications," Fraifeld said. "There's a whole lot that you're looking and you're doing it all at once."
Without hearing more about Hill's case, Fraifeld said it would be impossible to tell what could have caused the tragedy.
"Worst case scenario is almost anything can go wrong," Fraifeld said. Previous deaths have been caused by an allergic reaction to medicine, an undiagnosed heart condition, or when patients vomit during the procedure and choke, he said.
Counting deaths from anesthesia may be difficult because of litigation, but a study published in the journal Anesthesia and Analgesia counted very few child deaths from cardiac arrest. The study, which collected anonymous reports from 80 medical institutions in the United States, counted a total of 193 pediatric cardiac arrests due to anesthesia between 1998 and 2004.
Dentists say they always have to consider the odds when treating a child who has an infection that could threaten their ability to eat properly.
"Our typical resident graduates with over 400 sedations -- so a lot of kids need to be sedated, this is not uncommon," said Dr. Kevin Donly, chairman of pediatric dentistry at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio.
Donly said the cavity rates for children age 2 to 5 has increased for the first time since dentists have been keeping track. If these children aren't treated by age 5, Donly said it's possible they may need crowns.
And with a wriggling, crying or even completely uncooperative child, sometimes dentists turn to sedating children.
"When you're a 6-year-old, it's hard to sit through a procedure in the dentist chair," Donly said. "Some kids are more afraid of needles than others and you have to sedate them."
Donly said infection is a real threat with very deep cavities that would require a crown after a filling to stabilize the tooth. If the infection goes on, the child may have serious problems eating and be in a lot of pain.
"We always sit with every parent and patient -- we go through all the risks and we give them informed consent," Donly said. "It's no different than if your kid had chronic earaches and you have to have them put under general anesthesia to put tubes in.
"You play the odds, and ask for yourself if this is the right thing to do for my child," he said.
But dentists say sedation will probably always have to be a risk-benefit analysis.
"There's always a risk of some unknown condition that no one knows about and then under the stress of surgery or anesthesia that condition raises its head," said Dr. Joel Weaver of the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology.
"Again, the dentist has to weigh the risk versus benefits," he said. Weaver mentioned that overdoses during dental sedations are "far less than 1 percent."

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are from Rick Tramonto's book Fantastico!
This is the ultimate vehicle for any number of toppings. The quality of the bread, as well as the olive oil, makes all the difference, so make sure the crust is crisp and the middle is soft and chewy. Buy it fresh from a good bakery. This is an example of two ingredients making the difference between good and truly great. Enjoy the ride!
YIELD: Makes 4 servings
1. Prepare gas or charcoal grill or preheat the broiler or a panini press. The heating elements or coals should be medium-hot.
2. Cut the slices in half and brush both sides with a generous amount of olive oil. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Grill or broil the bread, turning once, until lightly browned on both sides.
4. Gently rub 1 side of the toasts with garlic, sprinkle with cheese, and serve.

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
Lo Signov – You Shall Not Steal.
On the surface, it sounds quite uncomplicated. (Aren't even young children taught not to help themselves to something – anything – that is not theirs?) If we are honest with ourselves, however, we'd have to agree the myriad ways this commandment is breached render it less straightforward than the two simple words might at first glance imply.
Take the recalcitrant man who denies his wife a Get. Is he not guilty of stealing years from the woman whom he heartlessly keeps imprisoned for his own warped agenda?
How about the man (or woman) who makes a play for someone else's spouse, in essence attempting to steal the affection to which he is not entitled and which rightfully belongs to another?
Defaming someone with evil speech, lashon hara, can rob that person of a livelihood, a shidduch, a reputation and, subsequently, much more.
And what of the rationalization that "It is only the government and they already have enough money"? Is the massive chillul Hashem this type of pilfering engenders not enough incentive to keep our hands out of the till?
Two exceptional luminaries who relinquished their holy souls to their Maker on Shavuos have for centuries served as the embodiment of integrity for our people. Legendary figures in their exalted Avodas Hashem, they have bequeathed to us a lasting legacy of absolute faith and belief in the Master of the Universe.
One is our beloved King David, the eloquent Psalmist; the other is the founder of chassidus, the holy Baal Shem Tov.
Commemoration of their Yahrzeit on Shavuos, the anniversary of the grandest occasion of all time – our spectacular union with God at Har Sinai – is certainly no coincidence but rather divine orchestration meant to imbue us with inspiration and prompt us to fortify our everlasting bond with our One and Only.

Lead me on the path of Your Commandments for that is my desire; incline my heart toward your testimonies and not to monetary gain (Tehillim 119:35,36).
The repercussions of defying the Eighth Commandment may not be immediately discerned. In fact, it can take years, even generations, for retribution to come full circle.
In the days of the Baal Shem Tov, a wealthy businessman about to set out on a lengthy journey decided to leave his substantial fortune with a close friend for safekeeping. This friend was of very modest means but most trustworthy, and so written documentation of the temporary transaction was dispensed with.
As it happened, the poor man suddenly took ill and passed away. Following the mourning period, his many children browsed their father's belongings and were shocked to discover the riches. They split this unexpected bounty among themselves and immediately took to enhancing their lifestyle in accordance with their unanticipated windfall.
Upon his return, the rich man confronted the children of his friend and laid claim to his money.
"Where is proof of your claim?" they asked him. Since there was none to speak of, the matter came before the beis din which ruled in favor of the deceased man's children.
This occurrence left at least one of the Baal Shem Tov's talmidim deeply troubled and he voiced his dismay to the tzaddik. Being that the deceased's indigent state was widely known, the beis din's ruling seemed illogical.
The Baal Shem Tov, in reply, asked his student to set out early the next morning to a specific location, where he would find a large tree next to a well. The student was told to hide himself high up in the branches of the tree from where he was to quietly keep watch of the day's goings-on and report back to his rebbe.
The talmid did as the Baal Shem Tov bid, and by noontime he observed a rider dismounting his horse to avail himself of some water from the well. Having quenched his thirst, the merchant lay down in the shade of the large tree to catch some sleep, using his vest and money belt as a cushion for his head.
Awakening a short while later, the man hurriedly rode off, leaving his bundle of money behind. It wasn't long before another merchant came by with the same itinerary in mind, but just as he was about to set himself down under the tree he caught sight of the first man's property and wasted no time placing the money belt around his waist and beating a hasty retreat.
A drifter with his belongings swung over his shoulder soon wandered by and stopped to drink from the well. The shade of the tree beckoned the weary man, who lay down to rest.
Just then, the first rider showed up in a frantic bid to recoup his possessions. Seeing the vagrant lying there, he shook him awake and brusquely demanded his money back. The poor man, oblivious to the recent chain of events, pleaded his innocence to no avail. The outraged merchant mercilessly pummeled him, even spilling the contents of his sack of meager belongings.
When the coast had finally cleared, the young chassid realized it was time to return to give an accounting of the day's events.
The Baal Shem Tov clarified them for his talmid: The first man was a merchant who had had a din Torah in a previous life with one who had sought to collect an outstanding debt owed to him by the merchant's father. The merchant swore that his father had never made mention of any such transaction and based on his testimony was freed of the obligation of having to repay the petitioner.
The second man (who had shown up in time to find the forgotten money belt) had been that petitioner in an earlier life, the one who had lost the money through the beis din's ruling. So the money had now reverted to its rightful owner.
The talmid began to have a clearer picture of the circumstances surrounding the first two merchants but was still perplexed about what he perceived as a senseless and brutal assault of the poor man.
The Baal Shem Tov explained that this third person at the scene had been the dayan (judge) on the beis din who had been remiss in his obligation to seek justice for the aggrieved party.
Thus, added the Baal Shem Tov, though present-day occurrences may at times escape our understanding, every soul is made accountable for his or her transgressions.
* * * * *
The life of the Baal Shem Tov was extraordinary from day one. Yisrael ben Eliezer was born on the 18th day of Elul (yud-ches transposed reads chai – life) in the Hebrew year 5458 (taf nun ches – which transposed reads nachas). He marked his time on earth with extreme humility and, displaying compassion for wrongdoer and righteous alike, was a constant source of sublime nachas to his Creator.
A heartbroken father once approached the holy Baal Shem and cried to him about his son who was distancing himself in a detrimental way. The man was advised to intensify his love for his son, which in turn would induce the young one to feel a greater love for his father. This, assured the Baal Shem, would bring his son around. And it did.
* * * * *
Remove from me the way of falsehood and favor me with your Torah (Tehillim 119:29).
Devout followers of the Baal Shem Tov, accompanying their rebbe at an outdoor procession to the chuppah of one of his grandchildren, were more than a bit intrigued when he sidestepped the crowd to approach a wagon driver happening by. After a brief verbal exchange, the Baal Shem Tov rejoined his chassidim, but the odd encounter aroused much curiosity. There must have been a good basis for the tzaddik to have interrupted his march to the chuppah of his grandson, they reasoned, and so they assumed the wagon driver was one of the world's hidden tzaddikim.
Two young chassidim were called upon to follow the wagon driver and learn his identity, as well as the gist of his discussion with the Baal Shem Tov. When they caught up to him, they greeted the wagon driver by the title of Rebbe.
"Why do you address me as such? I am but a poshuter Yid, a simple man," protested the stranger.
"You don't fool us," countered the two young men. "We saw you interact with the holy Baal Shem and we are honored to make the acquaintance of one whom the Besht would go out of his way to acknowledge."
Seeing the two would not be dissuaded from their conviction, the man decided to take them into his confidence.
"As I said, I am a simple man residing in a small community. My closest neighbor is my closest friend whom I have known since our childhood days. We share in each other's joys and sorrows and have never withheld secrets from one another.
"My friend earns a living by shopping wholesale pantry goods and reselling them to vendors. Upon his return from one such excursion, his friends – I among them – went to personally welcome him back.
"While in his home, I yearned for a smoke and was at ease enough to search for some tobacco. One cabinet drawer held a sizable packet of money that my friend had brought back with him from his latest venture. Amazed that he would simply leave it lying around in such an accessible place, I devised a plan on the spot by which I hoped to teach him to be more wary and responsible.
"I took the packet and placed it in my pocket, fully intending to return it once he'd learned his lesson. When my friend later discovered the money gone, the shock nearly gave him a heart attack. He and his wife searched the entire house in vain, the loss causing them tremendous aggravation. The neighbors hearing the commotion rushed in to see if they could be of help, but all they could do was commiserate.
"As you can well imagine, it was hardly the ideal time for me to speak up and I determined that I would return later on when things would have calmed down some. Much to my dismay, things didn't settle down at all; the family was disconsolate at having suffered such calamity and the neighbors kept streaming in with their show of support.
"The more time that passed, the worse I felt about confessing my part in this fiasco. Had I acted immediately, I'd have been berated for causing my friends needless anxiety. But all these hours later, it would certainly give the appearance that I had stolen the money and was returning it due to all the tumult. I could not fathom facing such condemnation and found myself in a terrible bind.
"My friend's situation further deteriorated when his creditors began to hound him for payment and to suspect him of a setup to deny them their dues. My wife and children attributed my sour disposition to my feelings of empathy with my close friend's misfortune.
"My yetzer hara began to egg me on. Since I could not return the money, why not make good use of it, and maybe in the future I would find a way to settle the score. When I countered that suspicions would be aroused if I suddenly became affluent, the yetzer hara had a solution for that, too. Leave this place and start anew somewhere else where you are unknown. Once you've established yourself, you can have your family join you.
"And so I rented a horse and wagon and informed my family and close acquaintances that I was off to try my mazal elsewhere. You witnessed my coming upon the procession that was on the way to the Baal Shem Tov's grandchild's chuppah and – though we have never before met – the Besht approached me to urge me to go back home and return the packet of money to my friend.
"He assured me he would personally testify at a beis din hearing as to my innocence and to the fact that I had truly no ill intent to cheat my friend out of his money.
"Now I feel as though the weight of a stone has been lifted from my heart. I will follow the Baal Shem Tov's instructions and am on my way home."
* * * * *
On a certain erev Shabbos, the Baal Shem Tov found himself so destitute he was unable to purchase even the barest essentials for Shabbos. Early Friday morning he tapped lightly on a window of a house and vocalized his neediness. He then made an about face and walked away.
The man of the house, roused from his sleep, sprang up and – not knowing the identity of the man he was pursuing – ran after the Baal Shem Tov.
"Why did you knock at my window?" he asked. "And if you are short of necessities for Shabbos, why do you leave without giving me a chance to respond?"
"In reality," replied the Baal Shem Tov, "we are all born with each of our needs provided for by Heaven, but the sin of man brought upon us the edict of 'by the sweat of your brow shall you earn your bread.'
"The means vary, however, by which we each derive our share. For some, a livelihood arrives effortlessly at their doorstep; others must go the extra mile. As for myself, my struggle is not a great one but I nonetheless must invest a determined measure of effort. From the instant my responsibility is carried out, Hashem sees to my needs. So essentially it makes no difference whether it will be through you or through someone else; my part is done."
The Torah of Your mouth is better for me than thousands in gold and silver (Tehillim 119:72).
