Publicly funded dental care far from reality
One of the more frequent questions I am asked by my patients is "Why is dental treatment not covered under OHIP? After all," they ask, "dental health is a part of overall health, isn't it?" It is a reasonable question to ask; to answer it, however, requires a bit of a historical perspective. There are, in fact, three aspects to the answer – biological, political and economic.
From the standpoint of biological science and health care, the profession of dentistry has transformed significantly over the past 150 years. What was once looked upon historically as more of a mechanical skill has evolved into a recognized health care profession. Scientific understanding of the correlation between oral health and systemic health has also strengthened, particularly in the last 20 years.
From a political standpoint, the introduction of publicly funded health care to Ontario in the mid-1960s was somewhat controversial, and was introduced as a pilot project. At its inception, there was discussion about gradually introducing other allied health professions under the OHIP umbrella, including dentistry, optometry and chiropractic.
Whether or not this was a legitimate notion or political posturing is open to speculation. However, within the first five years of the introduction of OHIP, some political economists, both within and outside of government, had begun to predict that the system as introduced was not sustainable over the long term.
As we all know, the more recent history of OHIP over the past 20 years is one characterized by de-listing of procedures, not adding covered services. The economic reality is that the money for government-funded dental care simply is not there. During the last two provincial election campaigns, the political shift has been toward some sort of government-sponsored basic dental care for low income families. All three of the major political parties have had this concept, in one form or another, as part of their election platforms. However, with our current economic climate, the current provincial government has been unable to move this from a political discussion to a reality.
It should be noted that there are already in existence a number of programs, funded by both provincial and municipal governments, that meet some basic dental needs for those on social assistance and with disabilities.
However, there are also many low income Ontario families who unfortunately fall through this social safety net. As a result, there is a wide disparity in the level of oral health among the citizens of this province. Hopefully, as Ontario's economic outlook improves, there will be the collective political will to improve the level of dental health for all Ontarians.

This may be an old post, but I just wanted to comment. Yes, there is dental assistance for people on say Ontario Works. But there is nothing for people on Employment Insurance, like my family. My partner quit his job as a chef to help with our newborn twins and 2 year old and now there is nothing to help with benefits for our family, even though we make less then 20k a year. There needs to be some sort of assistance for those families on EI as well as OW.
OW has a solution. "Lets pull out all your teeth" Clearly this is not a solution at all. Im sort of in the same boat.My partner is employed as well as trying to get through college and while he's 80% covered in almost everything,my children and I have nothing. My kids luckily can go to the dentist for free though the Ontario healthy smiles program and thats great.I appreciate being able to take them for free.But where exactly does that leave me? I've called public health and OW. Public health tells me to go on OW and OW gives a list of dentists all of which cost $$$.I can't go on OW because my partner is on OSAP. In a country like Canada we should have these resources. Teeth ARE a part of our health. I'd like to see the numbers of those who end up in the emergency room due to teeth related problems. The whole subject makes me sick to be honest.
As well,OW doesn't fix your teeth.They just pull the tooth. I want my teeth,thanks.
It's funny how Ontario can provide public funding for catholic schools, which is religious discrimination at it's worst, yet they can't provide public funding for dental care.

A chromosomal abnormality in children with a deadly form of brain cancer is linked with a poorer chance of survival, clinician scientists at The University of Nottingham have discovered.
The study led by experts at Nottingham's Children's Brain Tumour Research Centre as part of a European collaboration could potentially lead to a new diagnostic test to allow doctors to identify youngsters who are at the highest risk associated with an ependymoma tumour and may need aggressive life-saving treatments.
The research could also help them to decide which children with the tumour have a better prognosis and would benefit from less intensive therapies, reducing their exposure to a range of side effects which can cause permanent disabilities, having a debilitating impact on them for the rest of their lives.
The study, published in the April 1 edition of the journal Clinical Cancer Research, focused on looking at abnormal copies of chromosomes in the cells of ependymoma tumours and aimed to establish whether it was associated with a worse outlook for children suffering from the disease.
The research, led by Professor Richard Grundy and Dr John-Paul Kilday, found that increased copies of a specific region of a chromosome called 1q25 were associated with around 20 per cent of the 147 tumours they tested from European children with ependymoma and that it was associated with a worse outcome in younger children treated with surgery and chemotherapy.
In addition, when combining the results for 1q25 copy gain with how much tumour was removed at the time of surgery, the scientists could accurately place the children into three risk groups high, intermediate and standard.
Dr Kilday said: "This study is the first to assess copy number gain like this in groups of children with ependymoma who have been treated in a similar way and is an important step forward in being able to predict the future for children with these bra

Job leavers larger share of unemployed
March 21, 2000
The level of unemployment declined for almost every reason in 1999. The sole exception was an increase in the number of persons unemployed as a result of leaving their jobs voluntarily. As a result, the share of the unemployed made up of job leavers rose by one and one-half percentage points to 13.3 percent.
[Chart data—TXT]
There were slightly fewer unemployed persons on temporary layoff, but their share of total unemployment still rose by half a percentage point to 14.4 percent.
Both numbers and shares of the unemployed declined for permanent job losers, for those who completed temporary jobs, and for new entrants to the labor force. The number of unemployed reentrants edged down, while their share of the unemployed was little changed.
These data are a product of the Current Population Survey. For more annual average data on unemployment, see the Table 28 of the January 2000 issue of Employment and Earnings. You can access additional pre-formatted tables from Employment and Earnings through the Current Labor Statistics button on the Monthly Labor Review homepage.

First let me apologize because this post is pretty unrelated to everything else on this blog, but I felt it needed to be shared.
Has anyone seen these? Because I see the ALL THE TIME at gas stations and convenience stores. Behind the counter are little fake roses in a glass tube. At first my eye passed over them, seeing the thing simply as it appeared – a cheap gas station trinket, similar to the rings (and "Homies" toys – if anyone doesn't know what those are please google it) in the 25 cent machines.
However, while watching an episode of A&E's "Intervention" I had a revelation. I watched the girl on the screen as she smoked her crack pipe, and thought to myself, where does one even find a crack pipe? I can't see them being produced in bulk anywhere, but everyone on this show managed to find the SAME crack pipe, so what is it's legal purpose? Then it clicked. The "I Love You Rose" in the glass tube at gas stations. A not-so-secret cover for crack and meth pipes.
The straight pipe (I mean rose tube) on the left is a meth pipe, and the tube with the round part at the end is a crack pipe. Unbelievable. Who manufactures these???

Younger Acheampong wants to be bigger than his star brother Frank
Frederich Acheampong is aiming to become a bigger star than his older brother Frank Acheampong after winning the MTN FA Cup Discovery of the Year award.
The 18-year-old beat competition from Medeama's Joseph Gordon, Mighty Jets' Emmanuel Laryea and Ben Arthur of Amidaus Professionals to land the prestigious award on Saturday night.
The ex Ghana U17 player wants to do better than his brother who plays for Anderlecht and helped the Ghana U20 team win bronze at the FIFA U20 World Cup earlier this year in Turkey.
Now playing for Ghanaian second tier club Rainbow FC, Frederich is looking to move onto greater heights – surpassing the no mean achievement of his elder brother who has been called to the Black Stars team for Friday's deciding 2014 World Cup qualifier against Zambia.
"I would really want to excel more than him (Frank)," he told Metro941.com.
"Only God knows best and so I am hoping to do more than he is doing. This is not any pressure on me, there is no pressure on me.

Traditionally, manufacturing is categorized by two methods: process and discrete. Many differences exist, but most can be grouped into two areas: those derived from material issues and those derived from production issues.
Process materials are different than discrete materials. Process materials are powder, liquids or gases; they must be confined; and they are more difficult to accurately measure. Process materials are close to their natural sources (farms, mines, etc.) and therefore, are of inconsistent quality. Inconsistent quality means extensive quality procedures, segregation (lot control), restriction of use (this lot is okay for one customer but not another), and usually the inclusion quality attributes as part of their inventory definition. Process materials vary with time. They get better; they get worse; and they change their identity.
Production issues give us the simplest definition of process manufacturing. Specifically, once you produce your finished product, you cannot distill it back to its basic ingredients. Have you ever attempted to return orange juice back to its original water, sugar, sodium, and, of course, oranges or extract the pigments out of paint? Conversely, you can disassemble a car back to its tires, spark plugs, carburetor, and engine block. There are similar components in process and discrete manufacturing: ingredients versus parts; formulas versus bill of materials; several units of measure (i.e. pounds, ounces, and liters) versus EA (each).
There are, however, subtle differences. Process manufacturing is scalable. For example, if the formula calls for a 1,000 pounds of oranges but you only have 500 pounds, you can still make orange juice, just not as much. If you only have three tires, you are going to have wait for the fourth tire before the car can start rolling off the production line. In process, you tend make product in bulk or batches as in a vat of coke or a 500-gallon tank of solvent and then pack it off to fulfill customer orders. On the other hand, in discrete manufacturing you would expect to see one computer at a time coming down the production line.
a quick refresher on process manufacturing, peruse the articles, Process
Manufacturing: A Primer or What
Makes Process Process.
The remainder of this article focuses on process manufacturing. However, to say process manufacturing functions are the same in all industries is tantamount to saying that a Ferrari and a Ford truck are simply means of getting from point A to point B. Just as you would not use a Ferrari to haul lumber, aspects of process manufacturing cannot be applied equally and with the same importance to all industries. This article looks at the unique requirements of process manufacturing in three industries: food and beverage, chemical, and a hybrid industry, textiles. One way or another, these requirements must be satisfied. If a software vendor can provide this satisfaction, your organization's anxiety level concerning the implementation of enterprise-wide systems can be significantly reduced.
If you are not in these industries, you can stop reading No, wait! Perhaps understanding how a particular requirement or aspect of process manufacturing relates to one of these industries may give you better understanding or insight on how it can be applied in your company. Whew! Thought that I had lost you! Glad you're back.
Note: For the purpose of this article, process and continuous-flow
manufacturing are treated as synonymous. Continuous-flow manufacturing is the
eradication of product stagnation in and between processes. Once a product has
entered the manufacturing process, it moves on without having to be stored.
Special considerations, such as one-piece-at-a-time production and multi-process
handling for establishing a continuous-flow operation, will not be addressed
in this article.
is Part Three of a three-part note.
One discusses process manufacturing requirements for the food and beverage industry.
Two discusses process manufacturing requirements for the chemical industry.
Textiles Industry
textiles industry, which includes upholstery and carpeting, is a hybrid of process
manufacturing. It is process insomuch that you cannot break a piece of upholstery
or carpeting down to its basic, reusable components such as tow (a rope-like
band of filaments), or flock (the finely minced filament that makes up the cloth
of upholstery and carpeting). It resembles discrete manufacturing insofar as
some of its ingredients are comparable to parts. Textile ingredients that resemble
parts include the substrate and basis material that makes up the cheesecloth
or mesh backing for the fabric, and core, the solid cylindrical tube upon which
fabric can be wound.
The textile industry shares the catch weight concept with the food and beverage industry, but that is where the similarity ends. Of course, you need the total weight of the order to calculate the shipping charges. The invoiced price is calculated based on the actual weight of the fabric. The reason for this will become apparent later. Even though a roll of fabric can be up to 500 yards in length, what's the problem? Just get a bigger scale. However, the problem is that dispersed amongst the good yards of fabric can be imperfect yards due to discoloration, pattern runs, or color blotches. As you might imagine, customers will not want to pay for imperfect yards they cannot use. Since the width is usually an industry standard of sixty inches, we only need to capture the length of the fabric or linear yards. Accordingly, the first requirement of the enterprise-wide software is to record the actual useable linear yards. Let's assume that the software can accommodate the catch weight and this field can be used to record the actual useable linear yards. Problem solved? Not so fast, Sherlock.
still need to convert the actual usable yards into a weight. This is simple
arithmetic: multiply the number of linear yards by the weight of a linear yard
(remember the width is a constant sixty inches). Case closed? Not so fast, Mycroft
(Sherlock's literary brother). In textile, there is a term and a concept called
denier. This is referred to as the tex system outside of the United
States. Technically, denier is the weight-per-length measure of any
linear material. Officially, it is the number of unit weights of 0.05 grams
per 450-meter length. In layman's terms, it measures the thickness of the fabric.
The logic flows something like this.
higher the denier, the larger the fibers and the thicker the fabric.
thicker the fabric, the heavier the fabric.
heavier the fabric, the higher the weight.
higher the weight, the higher the cost of the product.
higher the denier, the larger the fibers and the thicker the fabric.
be able to accurately calculate the weight of a roll of fabric, you need to
know the specific weight per linear yard of the product being shipped and, because
the denier varies by product, the software must capture the linear yard weight
for each product. Typically, this would be recorded in the product database.
To calculate the true catch weight, the software would have to retrieve the
specific linear yard weight of the product and multiply this by the useable
liner yards and then multiply this result by the cost per linear yard per weight.
Algebraically, the invoiced price is represented by the following expression:
To support the textile industry, enterprise-wide software must have the capability of recording useable linear yards such as catch weight, which, together with the cost factor, is expected to be standard functionality. In addition, the software must be able to record the product specific weight by linear yard and perform the extension expressed above, which is non-standard functionality. There is not much "wiggle room" if the non-standard functionality cannot be accommodated since it is an accepted way of doing business in textiles. Accordingly, assurance must be made in advance of signing the contract that this requirement is known and understood by the software vendor and it can be satisfied.
Dealing With Second Quality Fabric
A concern and ongoing production problem in the textile industry is the matter of second quality fabric. A second quality piece of fabric or second for short is off QC specification in terms of color, consistency, pattern design, or any combination of all three. However, due to the process manufacturing attributes of this hybrid industry, seconds cannot be returned to their original ingredients. We will discuss how seconds are dealt with in the next paragraph. Let's consider one real example of how difficult it can be to work in textiles and how seconds can be created. One method of creating a pattern on a piece of fabric is to permeate sections of the fabric with a chemical solution, where you do not want the pattern to appear. Unfortunately, this can turn the entire production run of the fabric black. It is not until the final washing cycle that the pattern is apparent and verified to be good or not. This process is definitely not for A-type personalities. Other problems can create seconds during the production run.
critical need in the textile industry is the as-soon-as-possible notification
as to when production yields will be less than forecasted. In doing so, the
pipeline can be refilled so customer orders can still be met by the date promised.
This type of notification and reporting is typically found in manufacturing
execution systems (MES). It would be beneficial if these attributes of
an MES application were incorporated in an enterprise-wide application. If not,
a heavy, and most likely, impractical recording burden will be placed on the
production line personnel. Reliance on this manual recording is not suggested.
Ordering of seconds is handled in an entirely different manner than the ordering of first quality goods. For example, a prospective buyer of seconds would be interested in fabric in all shades of green. Unless your product nomenclature is designed to include this attribute and the software supports it, locating seconds will be extremely difficult. The problem is that this is not normally how you define first quality goods. Consequently, the software must be flexible to support both ordering approaches without making warehouse personnel perform transfers and reclassifications.
QC specifications play a rather unique role in the textile industry. Typically, the key QC test is based on visual inspection in terms of shade and coloring. This is important because customers will underestimate their order of fabric or create too much waste, requiring a re-order. It is essential that the re-order of the fabric be as close as possible in shade and color as the original order. Think about it. You have just completed upholstering the couch and run out of fabric for the matching chair. As a furniture-buying consumer, would you purchase a matching couch and chair where the color was even degree off?
This series of articles has looked at the special requirements for three industries: food and beverage, chemical, and textiles. This is not to say that these are the only process manufacturing industries that either have special requirements or place particular emphasis of standard functionality. As has been said by the authors of this article and by others, focus on the unique characteristics of your industry and your company when evaluating enterprise-wide software. You would expect a general ledger, ordering, or invoicing component that can perform the basics. It's your uniqueness that should make you afraid very afraid.

PITTSBURGH -- Somebody better come up with a boatload of cash. If this truly was the last chance for Charlie Weis to save his job at Notre Dame, if the inevitable has finally become reality after Saturday's 27-22 loss to No. 8 Pittsburgh, the Notre Dame administration is ready to spend what it takes to find another coach.
Asked if economics would play a role in the decision to retain or fire Weis, Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick firmly told Sporting News, "No."
Should Notre Dame fire Weis, it will owe him $18 million for the remaining six years on his contract, sources told SN, and more than $1 million for the guaranteed contracts of his assistant coaches.
When asked where his program goes from here -- after two consecutive losses and three in the past five games; from BCS hopes to minor bowl reality -- Weis said, "That's too big picture right now. I'm trying to get this team focused on the next game."
If a change is made, it won't happen until after the season.
"I evaluate programs at the end of the season," Swarbrick said. "I don't evaluate coaches, I evaluate programs."
The question that remains: Where exactly is this Irish program headed? Notre Dame is 35-25 overall under Weis, who has the same winning percentage as his predecessors Tyrone Willingham and Bob Davie. Willingham's teams were woefully unprepared; Davie's teams couldn't score points.
And Weis' teams? Defense has been the biggest issue. The defense's sporadic play has defined this team this season, and it couldn't make key stops again against Pitt and prevent the Irish from a school-record eighth consecutive loss to a top 10 team.
For all Weis has accomplished on offense, for all the talent he has procured and developed on that side of the ball (likely four first-round NFL picks on offense), the defense has never caught up. The Irish gave up 193 yards rushing to Pitt, including a 62-yard run by tailback Ray Graham in the third quarter that was a microcosm of the season: four missed tackles and poor execution.
"It's a dismal mood," ND linebacker Brian Smith said of the team locker room.
The season of high hopes hit a crossroads Saturday against a team and a coach that were in a similar situation not long ago. Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt and Weis were both hired in 2005, and have nearly identical records. The difference: Weis' job is in jeopardy, and Wannstedt is primed for a contract extension.
Pitt fans were lined up Saturday outside Heinz Field at 5 a.m., tailgating and waiting for a game that, really, means more than a Big East championship. Notre Dame fans were watching Stanford drill Southern Cal with dreams of Cardinal coach Jim Harbaugh riding into South Bend to save the day.
Pitt fans are pointing toward a Dec. 5 showdown with unbeaten Cincinnati at Heinz Field as the day this program makes the jump into college football's elite. Notre Dame fans are looking at the last weekend of the regular season as the absolute last day before the Irish have another coach in place.
Notre Dame has two games remaining this season: home next week versus Connecticut and the season finale Nov. 28 at Stanford. With a win in one of those two games, the Irish likely will play in the Gator Bowl. Two wins could mean a game in the Cotton Bowl, and two losses likely means a spot in the PapaJohns.com Bowl.
"This team had a lot of hopes," Notre Dame safety Kyle McCarthy said. "It's really tough that it hasn't worked out."
Beyond the drama of buyouts and the disappointment of a lost season, one play stood out among all the others; a play that had little impact on the outcome, but told the story of this unfolding season. With Notre Dame facing fourth-and-1 from its own 39 and trailing 20-3, Weis called a play action fake and had quarterback Jimmy Clausen throw deep to Michael Floyd.
The 45-yard gain led to an Irish score, but also underscored the reality of a coach letting it all hang out with his job on the line.
"You can only focus on what you can control," Weis said. "We're not looking at the next two games right now. We're looking at Monday and Tuesday."
The time for big picture is two weeks away.

The researchers' identification of the role SIK1 plays in the body clock offers a tractable target for drugs that could help us adjust faster to changes in time zone and help ameliorate the effects of rotational shift work.
"The fact that it is a kinase enzyme makes it an attractive target for the design of novel therapeutics," Duffield added.
Flanagan worked on the project as an undergraduate student, writing an honor thesis on his research data and presented his work at the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms meeting in 2012.
"Being involved in this project as an undergraduate student and presenting my data at an international conference really crystalized my interest in scientific research as a career," Flanagan said.

University of St. Thomas football coach Glenn Caruso has been busy preparing his team for a little trip to Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Tommies on Sunday will play an exhibition game in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' stadium against a club team of college-age all-stars. The first half of the game will be played under NCAA rules, and the second half will be played under rules similar to those used in the Canadian Football League. I talked to Caruso about the game.
BS: Have you had to give your players a crash course in Canadian rules?
GC: A little bit. There are some nuances. The main difference is the field is huge. It's enormous. It's a good 40 feet wider than ours and a good 40 yards longer. They play with 12 on both sides of the ball and get three downs to make 10 yards. You can have five guys in motion at the same time. The fact we have to adjust our game is kind of secondary to us. We're going to go up there and do a youth clinic.
BS: How will you use the 12th player?
GC: We're going to go with an extra fullback on offense and an extra corner on defense. We're using the Canadian nickel, which I tell our guys is only worth four cents.
BS: Will you shorten the field to 100 yards when you play what folks around here consider real football?
GC: We're going to stay with the big field.
BS: What do you think will be the biggest adjustment to the Canadian game?
GC: I don't think the biggest adjustment will be a scheme thing.
BS: Are you treating it like a game you want to win, or more like an exhibition?
GC: More like an exhibition. It's very important to us that we're competitive and win at everything we do. But this is not one of those games that get inscribed on your tombstone when you die. I want to win, but, more importantly, I want to test our depth. We went through spring practice with 84 players, and several others are multisport guys who didn't take part. We have 12 players playing in spring sports, and six were starters for us. We can see a lot of guys in this game who we haven't had a chance to see.
BS: How did this game come about?
GC: I always had the idea when the rule came out that we can start going on foreign tours every several years. Being a Catholic institution and having a campus in Rome, I'd love to go to Rome. Right now, the economy isn't right to get on a plane and spend $2,000 a player to go overseas. So we said, "Where can we go on a bus?" We decided to drive to Winnipeg. It's actually only about 2 1/2 hours from Fargo. I pitched this to a few people in Winnipeg last summer, and their football organization clung to it. They've rolled out the red carpet for us. It's a club team made up of college players. They're 18- to 23-year-old guys.
BS: Are you going to be on the lookout for any Canadian players who might want to get an education at a Division III Catholic college in the Twin Cities?
GC: Their coach said, "Are you ever looking for talent?" I said, "We're always looking for talent. If a kid can play, I don't care if he lives in an igloo." We've swapped film. From what we've seen, it's pretty comparable to Division III down here. We would only look at a prospect up in Canada if he is not playing in college already. There will be three or four guys who are not playing college football there who might come to the States.
BS: What does a game like this do for your program?
GC: There are tons of upsides, but I think the biggest one is it gives us a chance to do what very few Division III teams can. We can play and compete in May, and our kids can come together as a team. It gives us a chance to promote the University of St. Thomas in a very positive manner. It's been a great opportunity for us to build a team.
BS: What kind of team do you expect to have in the fall?
GC: We were 7-3 last year (in Caruso's first season as coach). We had the nation's third-biggest turnaround in Division III. We went from 2-8 to 7-3. It was a pretty sweet deal. I feel strong about the team this year. We'll have 25 seniors, and eight will be in starting roles. We backed up a very strong recruiting class with an even stronger recruiting class this year. If we work our butt off and put our hat on and go to work, we'll be able to reap some benefits down the road.

Salary Cap Update: 2010 Dead Money Will Not Count
We finally appear to have received confirmation on an issue lots of you have asked about. Here are the NFL's transition rules for the 2011 league year. Buried in Section 5(b)(i) is the following:
no signing bonus proration to the League Years of this Agreement shall apply for any Preexisting Contract that was terminated, traded, or assigned via waivers prior to March 11, 2011
In other words, the potential dead money charges that John Clayton has been including in the Jets cap commitments do not need to be accounted for.
According to Jason's latest calculations, which are updated for the increased minimum salary amounts, that puts the Jets at $7.8m under the cap – and that includes David Harris at his full franchise tender amount of $10.2m.
This is good news for the Jets, but could be even better news for the Raiders and the Jets opening day opponents, Dallas, who had almost three times as much dead money at stake.
Jason has more detailed interpretations of some other rules over at his site.

Gholson: Cowboys don't look ready for playoffs
ARLINGTON — The Dallas Cowboys certainly didn't look anything like a playoff-worthy team in the first half Sunday.
In fact, it was pretty hard to tell who was the 2-7 team — the Cowboys or the Cleveland Browns.
Tony Romo had been sacked three times and had a quarterback rating of 69.2 in that opening half. Felix Jones was the team's leading rusher with 17 yards.
It wasn't until 2:04 was left in the half before Dallas even got the ball across midfield.
Browns 13, Cowboys 0 at halftime was a bit disgusting.
You could feel a week's worth of playoff optimism floating out of Cowboys Stadium.
Instead of getting to 5-5 by Thanksgiving, the Cowboys were staring at possibly being 4-6 and probably out of the postseason picture.
Thank God, there was a second half.
And then an overtime.
It took a 38-yard field goal by Dan Bailey with 6:07 left in OT for the Cowboys to survive the Browns, 23-20.
In Dallas' defense, it played most of this game with a makeshift offensive line.
When Tyron Smith went out early with an ankle injury, the Cowboys had to rely on Jeremy Parnell to play left tackle, one of the most important positions on the team.
Nate Livings was at left guard; Mackenzy Bernadeau was the center; Derrick Dockery was right guard and Doug Free was right tackle.
No wonder Romo got sacked seven times.
But give them credit. Through all this, the Cowboys still found a way to win.
"We just battled and kept getting better as the game went on," Romo said. "But we just have to get better and get better quick."
The Dallas quarterback wasn't going to apologize for winning a game in which he had to throw the ball 50 times. Thirty-five of those were caught for 313 yards.
"I'm not surprised by anything in the NFL. I think every week is hard and a challenge," he said. "I am not going to make excuses for winning. But we need to play better going forward if we are going to achieve the things we hope to do."
Even though there were a lot of rough spots early on, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett was impressed with his team's poise and mental toughness.
"I thought our poise was really good and our mental toughness was positive," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said.
"Our biggest issues were protecting the quarterback, and we didn't run the ball as well as we would like to. When those things aren't happening for you, you just have to keep battling."
The Cowboys didn't get on the scoreboard until there was just 4:16 left the third quarter — on a 44-yard Bailey field goal.
A minute and 11 seconds into the final quarter, they scored their first touchdown on a short Felix Jones run. Five minutes later they finally got the lead, 17-13, on Dez Bryant's 28-yard touchdown catch.
Bryant was a hero in this one with career highs of a dozen catches for 145 yards.
"Not losing our composure and staying focused, I feel like that's why we came out on top," Bryant said.
Romo had a similar explanation.
"We trust each other. We trust the defense and special teams. And they trust us."
I'm betting there were a lot of Cowboys fans out there not trusting any of them — especially in that awful first half and when Weeden's touchdown pass to tight end Benjamin Watson gave the Browns a 20-17 lead with 1:07 to play.
But now everything is well and good — at least for four days before the Redskins roll into town on Thanksgiving.

Blue Highway
Presented by Boston Bluegrass Union at National Heritage Museum
April 6, 2013
At the 19-year mark, Blue Highway is indisputably one of the most esteemed and influential groups in contemporary bluegrass. The band's nine exceptional albums and compelling live performances give proof to the stellar reviews, Grammy nominations, and numerous awards earned by the band since it first took the stage on December 31, 1994, with the same musicians that comprise Blue Highway today.
Individually, Jason Burleson (banjo, guitar, mandolin), Rob Ickes (Dobro), Shawn Lane (mandolin, fiddle, vocals),Tim Stafford (guitar, vocals), and Wayne Taylor (bass, vocals) are masters of their respective roles. Together, in Stafford's words, they are "a democracy in the best sense of the word": five gifted artists selflessly merging their talents into a seamlessly brilliant group sound.
With ten highly-acclaimed albums to its credit, Blue Highway has garnered two Grammy nominations, a Dove Award, topped the Bluegrass Unlimited radio charts, and won numerous International Bluegrass Music Association awards. Refusing to coast on past glories, Blue Highway continues to push its music to new levels of accomplishment. Artfully balanced between tradition and innovation, it remains in the forefront of contemporary bluegrass music.

Product Details
Universal Dragon Air Filter Black Foam Replacement (841-112-101) by Weapon-R®. The Polyurethane foam in the Dragon air filter flows more air and traps more dirt than comparable paper and cotton filters. The Dragon air filter is one of the highest rated air filters in the world.
- Polyurethane foam flows more air and traps more dirt than conventional filters
- Disassembles easily for cleaning
- No oiling required
- All Weapon-R foam air filters are backed by the Weapon-R Million Mile warranty
A high performance air filter should flow the maximum amount of air but still provide adequate filtration. Studies have shown that the Polyurethane foam used in Weapon-R Dragon air filters flows up to 80% more air and has better dirt filtration than conventional cotton filters. The Dragon air filter also features an internal tuned velocity stack, technology derived from Weapon-R's Secret Weapon air filter, for even more airflow.
The Dragon air filter disassembles easily for cleaning, and cleaning is easy because the filter element never needs oiling. The Dragon air filter is available in 3-inch and 4-inch inlet sizes and a choice of various colors. All Weapon-R foam air filters are backed by the Weapon-R Million Mile warranty.
The Dragon air filter is durable enough to withstand many cleanings. To make your filter as good as new, Weapon-R recommends cleaning the filter with Weapon-R's Foam Air Filter Recharge Kit. Simply remove the mounting screws and disassemble the filter. Spray the cleaning solution on the outside of the air filter. Soak/spray water on the outside of the filter and allow it to sit for 30 minutes. Rinse the filter in lukewarm water. Shake off the excess water and let the air filter dry.
Weapon-R® Dragon Filter Heat Shield. Complete your filter installation with the Dragon Filter Heat Shield. This Shield bolts directly to the top of the Dragon filter and completely shields the filter from any heat to create additional horsepower. You can also attach the hose from the Ram Air Kit to the top of the shield.

About Me Style Driven
Great fit. Nice cling to feet. No excess gathering. Wish had control top then would be A+++ rating instead of A rating

from Columbia, SC
These tights fit all the way up to the waist with no muffin top, yet add slight control. The ankles do not wrinkle or bag and tights stay in place for all day wear. In other words, they don't try to crawl down. I fell inbetween the 2X and the 3X and chose the 2X. They were stretchy enough to accomodate my theighs and hips. I liked that they were dark and opaque and a little silky feeling. I would recommend these to a freind and I will order more for myself.I have worn them several times and they seem to be holding up. Some tights have the tendency to tear at the crotch...these don't. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Hate these.

About Me Comfort-oriented, Practical
These get one star because the software insisted on a minimum of one star. I purchased these and placed the package in my suitcase for a business trip. Both pair in the two-pack came with runs in the panty portion. I hadn't packed back-ups, so I put one pair on and went and gave an 8 hour presentation. They felt small. By the end of the day, the runs had extended, but not past the hemline of my dress. I threw them out when I got back to the hotel. The 2nd pair was worse. I stooped to pick something up and the waist band, which was at my waist, dropped to my knees and had a desire to repeat that trick. Again, fortunately the hem of my skirt was longer. I have since bought less soft tights from a brick and mortar store in the same size and they are wearing great.

Jimmy Wayne has written a story about a foster kid who was often homeless before making it big in country music. It's his own story. Jimmy's autobiography, "Walk To Beautiful," will come out October 7th.
Jimmy, along with 14-time New York Times best-selling author Ken Abraham, tells the story of how his mentally ill mother took off with her lover, leaving Wayne alone at a bus station hundreds of miles from home at the age of 13. Jimmy spent many nights hungry and on the streets when he wasn't in and out of the foster care system. An elderly couple took him in, giving him a stable home and an education.
"This book is a milestone in my entire career," Jimmy tells Country Weekly. "I haven't been this excited since I released my very first album in 2003. I've always wanted to share my story in songs, but that was kind of hard to get everything into three minutes. This book tells my entire life story, and I wrote it because I feel like it's going to inspire people."
You can pre-order your copy of "Walk to Beautiful" on Amazon.com here.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — The story of natural gas has been a relatively happy one for consumers, a tale about a more than 75% drop from record prices nearly six years ago — with shale production playing the part of the fairy godmother.
And in this fairy tale, the magical transformation shale gas has made to the natural gas market is one that's built to last.
The single biggest factor for the decline in natural gas prices is the "shale gas revolution," said Chris Mayer, editor of Capital & Crisis. "Shale players are enjoying excellent economics even at current low gas prices — rig productivity continues to improve and costs are falling."
North Dakota oil boom spawns a rail boom
Production at the Bakken Shale in North Dakota could double over the next five years. But until new pipelines are built to handle the surge, companies are increasingly relying on rail to get the oil to market.
"I don't see natural gas prices getting any traction as long as the shale gas revolution is enjoying such success," he said.
Shale gas, as defined by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, refers to natural gas that is trapped within shale formations — sedimentary rocks that can offer a rich source of natural gas.
"We've seen major advances in shale gas and oil development that have created a whole new North American supply source," said Badar Khan, president of energy services provider Direct Energy Upstream & Trading.
"Shale has been a game changer for the U.S. gas market and has the potential to be a low-cost and very substantial source of energy for many years to come," he said.
The EIA predicts that shale gas may grow to account for about 46% of natural gas production in 2035. Market estimates show that it currently accounts for around 30% of output.
'Shale has been a game changer for the U.S. gas market and has the potential to be a low-cost and very substantial source of energy for many years to come.'
The boom in shale production has contributed to growing supplies in the nation, where gas in storage stands at 3.79 trillion cubic feet, according to the EIA. Supplies have been climbing since early April, and the total's not far from the record of 3.84 trillion seen in November 2010, data show.
"Producers have done a great job of finding more of their product," said Dan Gundersen, vice president of energy finance at Sandstorm Metals & Energy Ltd. (SND) STTYF
According to the EIA, nearly 22 trillion cubic feet of dry natural gas was produced in 2010, compared to 19 trillion in 2000. And shale gas production climbed to 3.1 trillion cubic feet in 2009 from 1.3 trillion in 2007.
Unfortunately for producers, "the pace of demand has not kept up, which has resulted in a devastating decline in natural gas prices," Gundersen said.
Natural gas futures NG11Z have dropped to just $3.78 per million British thermal units from a record of more than $15 in 2005 and from a peak above $13 in 2008.
Here to stay?
Right now, shale gas offers an opportunity too good for producers to pass up.
"Shale gas is here to stay," said Charles Perry, chief executive officer at energy consulting firm Perry Management.
Costs for drilling the wells are declining, and recent consolidation among producers has lowered overhead costs and competition in acquiring leases, he said.
So it doesn't seem likely that demand will be able to keep growing production in check.
Several trends in the industry over the last several years "have allowed for the reduction of natural gas production costs to levels at or below current prices," said Christopher Goncalves, a vice president at consulting firm Charles River Associates.

Romney: Obama Wants to Heal the Planet, I Want to Help Your Family
August 30, 2012 - 8:35 pm
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney needed to give the speech of his life at the Republican National Convention tonight, and managed to work the crowd into a frenzy with a balanced mix of policy and the personal.
"I wish President Obama had succeeded, because I want America to succeed," Romney said after accepting the party's presidential nomination. "But his promises gave way to disappointment and division. This isn't something we have to accept. Now is the moment when we can do something. And with your help, we will do something."
Romney said that debt, division, and unemployment were not the hope and change America voted for — "not just what we wanted," but "what Americans deserved."
"You deserved it because during these years, you worked harder than ever before. You deserved it because when it cost more to fill up your car, you cut out movie nights and put in longer hours," he said. "Or when you lost that job that paid $22.50 an hour with benefits, you took two jobs at 9 bucks an hour and fewer benefits. You did it because your family depended on you. You did it because you're an American and you don't quit. You did it because it was what you had to do."
"Now is the moment when we can stand up and say, 'I'm an American. I make my destiny. And we deserve better! My children deserve better! My family deserves better. My country deserves better!'"
His speech capped off a night that touched on his Mormon faith more than at any other point in the campaign, when fellow church members came before the audience to talk about kindnesses he had done for their families as a congregational leader.
"We were Mormons and growing up in Michigan; that might have seemed unusual or out of place but I really don't remember it that way. My friends cared more about what sports teams we followed than what church we went to," Romney said.
He also addressed the Democrats' war on women meme with a familial reference. "When my mom ran for the Senate, my dad was there for her every step of the way. I can still hear her saying in her beautiful voice, 'Why should women have any less say than men, about the great decisions facing our nation?'"

The final lecture entitled "With Time" will take place on April 21, at 8:00 p.m. in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall. Jones will discuss how his thinking about art making has evolved over time while addressing the constant fight for relevance, inspiration, and the tenacity needed to sustain a creative life.
"We are delighted to have Bill T. Jones deliver the Toni Morrison lectures," said Eddie Glaude, Chair of the Center for African American Studies at Princeton University. "Jones is one of the finest choreographers and dancers of our time. We are looking forward to an amazing journey that only he can direct."
Jones is a multi-talented artist, choreographer, dancer, theater director and writer whose major honors include a 1994 MacArthur "Genius" Award and the Kennedy Center Honors in 2010. He was inducted into the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2009 and named "An Irreplaceable Dance Treasure" by the Dance Heritage Coalition in 2000. His ventures into Broadway theater resulted in a 2010 Tony Award for Best Choreography in the critically acclaimed FELA!, the musical co-conceived, co-written, directed and choreographed by Mr. Jones. He also earned a 2007 Tony Award for Best Choreography in Spring Awakening, as well as an Obie Award for the show's 2006 off-Broadway run. His choreography for the off-Broadway production of The Seven earned him a 2006 Lucille Lortel Award. In addition to his role as Co-founder and Artistic Director of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Jones serves as Executive Artistic Director of New York Lives Arts, an organization that supports the nation's dance and movement-based artists through new approaches to producing, presenting and educating.
"I am deeply honored to deliver this year's Toni Morrison Lectures and it is particularly exciting to share my thoughts about a lifetime in the creative arts and the particular journey represented by Story/Time," said Bill T. Jones. "I hope that in reflecting on my creative process, audiences will be encouraged to further engage and participate in the world of ideas."
Ted Coffey is a composer of acoustic and electronic chamber music, interactive installations, and songs. A graduate of Princeton University (MFA, PhD), Coffey is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Virginia, where he teaches courses in composition, music technologies, critical theory, and pop.

Story/Time is Coffey's first collaboration with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company.
Sponsored jointly by the Center for African American Studies and Princeton University Press, the Toni Morrison Lectures will be held annually and spotlight the new and exciting work of scholars and writers who have risen to positions of prominence both in academe and in the broader world of letters.
The lectures presented by Bill T. Jones will be compiled and published in book form by Princeton University Press to celebrate the expansive literary imagination, intellectual adventurousness and political insightfulness that characterize the writing of Toni Morrison.

Union Beach Volunteering
If you are considering volunteering at Union Beach, please consider the following:
Bring a change of clothes, and change after the work, or before you walk into your home. Wash the clothes immediately. Bring:
Sturdy shoes (boots preferred),
rubber gloves inside work gloves,
eye protection/goggles,
reflective vest if you have one,
food & water,
N95 dust mask,
wheel barrow,
Use common sense and only work in an area in which you feel safe.
The following list was provided by Pastor Nancy Lynch of the Presbyterian Church of Madison for those volunteers that may work inside someone's home or on their property:
Ten Things to Remember When Volunteering at a Disaster Site ...
1. You are there to help the homeowner, in whatever way(s) the homeowner wants you to help. In other words, the homeowner, not the home, is our primary concern. Remember that everyone processes and expresses grief in his or her own way, which may be different from the way you process or express grief. Please be sensitive to this.
2. One of the most terrifying things about a disaster is the complete and utter loss of control that happens during the disaster. Give homeowners an opportunity to overcome that sense of helplessness by allowing them to direct you. Even small decisions (i.e., "Would you like me to do this, or that? Would you like me to place this here, or there?") can help them regain a sense of control over their lives. You can suggest an alternative way of doing something, but always ask permission first: "May I make a suggestion?" Always follow the lead of the homeowner.
3. Talk to the homeowner(s); get to know them. Sometimes their need to simply share their story is more important to them than the physical work that needs to be done.
4. Reassure them, if necessary, that this difficult time is survivable for them. Recognize that things may never go back to the way they were, but affirm that a "new normal" is absolutely possible. Affirm their feelings, whatever they are ("I can understand that." "I can imagine how that would be so difficult." "I would feel the same way.").
5. Affirm the homeowners in whatever ways you can. "I'm impressed with how much you've accomplished!", or "You're doing great!" are wonderful to hear. They help the homeowner see that progress is definitely occurring, even if there's still much to be done.
6. When removing cherished possessions from a home (and they're all cherished after a disaster), place them at the curb or in a bin; never throw them. They may be destroyed, but they are still cherished possessions. Never refer to cherished possessions as "trash."
7. Be conscious of the words you use; make sure that ALL of them are kind. Be aware that homeowners are listening to you, even if you're talking to a fellow volunteer and not to them. Even something like, "Wow, I can't believe how bad this is!" can be hurtful to a homeowner who is well aware of how bad this is.
8. Safety first: Always wear your N95 mask, your safety goggles when doing demolition work, and heavy rubber (not cotton) work gloves. Because of mold, plan on throwing out the mask and the work gloves before you leave.
9. Also because of mold, change your clothes (including your shoes) before returning home, or take them off as soon as you get home and immediately wash them. Leave your shoes outside your home until you can clean them with a mixture of 80% water/20% vinegar.
- Report any unusual difficulties you encounter to disaster assistance command for further follow-up. We want to know if there are special construction, medical, spiritual or other issues that require attention. We are here to help.

Hi. Today I jsut bought my new OpenVZ VPS. After some hard hours of figuring out on how to open my 80 port to run apache I danged into another issue. I never ask help and I try to find it out by myself but I'm just DONE with this.
My problem is this:
I am trying to compile something that apparently requires a gcc-c++ version higher than 4.3.
I first installed the 'default' gcc compiler: "yum install gcc-c++" .
I realised it's not good since I got some strange errors on my "make output" so I started to isntall the 4.4 version:
"yum install gcc44-c++" .
All fine, except it wouldn't use this new version.
On: "gcc -v" it's still "gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52)"
Well I tought I should remove it so there I did:
"yum remove gcc-c++" and OFC it didn't worked, but this time another error popped up.
"/bin/sh: /usr/bin/c++: No such file or directory"
Well now I come to ask for you mercy and help me through this: My gcc44-c++ version should be installed right? If so, where is it? It most certainly not on "/usr/bin" where I need it right? If it's anywhere else how can I link to it?
Or how can I install any higher version or equal to 4.3 of gcc-c++ on this dirrectorry?
"/usr/bin" ?
Thanks in advance for your help and excuse me for my poor english.

Letter: Spur?
Bernard Jacobs, Naples
A question: why are elected leaders and business officials pushing for changes in our Naples way of life "to spur the economy"?
This area is a retirement and tourist destination. I imagine Fort Lauderdale enjoyed a relaxed way of life until elected leaders and business officials did whatever to "spur the economy."
Controlled growth in the "Naples way" should be our short- and long-term objective. Each business owner is — or should be aware — that Naples is sought as a retirement/vacation because it is Naples, not Lauderdale, Miami, Tampa, etc. If they want that type of environment, they should relocate.
The duty of our elected leaders is to maintain, protect and reasonably enhance our Naples way of life. They must not adopt a strategy of growth to "spur the economy."
