A piglet in Quebec, Canada, saved his own life recently when he managed to escape a truck bound for slaughter.
Motorists driving behind the slaughter truck saw the little piglet squeeze through a hole in the trailer and take a tumble to the road to freedom. A police officer found the piglet wandering alongside the road and called animal services. Through a network of kind animal lovers on the Internet, the brave little piglet made it to Wishing Well Sanctuary, north of Toronto. Brenda Bronfman, the woman who opened the sanctuary two years ago, named him Yoda.
"He just loves to crawl into people's laps and be held. He's a little angel," said Bronfman of her new resident. She said Yoda has a few bumps and scrapes from his daring escape, but is otherwise doing well and enjoying life at the sanctuary. Rescued animals are permanent residents at Wishing Well, meaning they won't be adopted out, so Yoda has a nice, happy life ahead of him.
"He's just going to live the rest of his, god willing, long life. And will be happy with the other pigs and all the attention. There is always somebody on the farm, and he will just be loved for the rest of his natural life," says Bronfman.
If only every piglet could live so peacefully.

I probably spent way too long looking through the book of the Gazette from 1986.
Not only did I discover that I was born on a Friday and that the sports writer was a female (oh, the irony), but I saw a lot of fun stuff about the county tournament.
I highlighted 1987 last week, just because I was enthralled with the story of how New Albany and Myrtle were disqualified from the tournament. That was interesting, but what I love even more was seeing the success of each school during this decade.
Obviously, New Albany boys stuck out the most, winning five straight county tournament titles from '82 to '86 and two state tournament titles, but I read about Myrtle's run in '88 that ended with a heartbreaking loss in the state championship as well as East Union boys winning state in 1981 and falling short of their repeat in 1982. With the exception of the Urchins in 1981, the decade on the boys side was dominated by the Bulldogs and Falcons, but the girls were pretty wide open, and it appeared that the title could have gone to anyone, any year.
What made the research even more fun (and extremely easy) were the tournament preview sections. I'll be interested in seeing what year the Gazette stopped printing that, just because it was so informative and contained a year-by-year account of the best county tournament in the area.
So much has changed in the over the years, beginning with when the tournament was played. I saw how it was spread out over four days, and maybe was played all week at one point, whereas we have our Thursday-Saturday format now,
Another thing I noticed outside of the county tournament was Hickory Flat's dominance during this time. The Rebels and Lady Rebels do not make it in here as often as they may have at that time, but seeing their dominance in the sport was pretty cool.
I opted to go by my own, looking at this decade, but I'm looking for a few people to talk to as I get into the '90s next week. My record of year-by-year winners ended at 1987, so I started really flipping through books again with 1988 and will be doing so for the remainder of my research. Hit me up with some stories from the '90s.

BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) - Butler will meet Georgetown and Indiana
will face Pittsburgh in this year's Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden.
The pairings for the Dec. 8 doubleheader were announced
This will be the 15th annual Jimmy V Classic and the seventh

the late Jim Valvano, who led North Carolina State to the national
championship in 1983.
It will be the first ever meeting between Butler and Georgetown,
while Indiana holds a 4-3 lead in the series with Pittsburgh.

I don't understand why people are saying they have to re-buy their PSP games. Does your PSP stop working if you buy a Vita or something? I'm gonna still use my PSP all the loving time after I get a Vita because I still play DJ Max and Project Diva all the time.
Because having two handhelds is needlessly cumbersome. It's pretty lovely to bring one system along and realise the games you want to play are on the other. Plus the PSP isn't going to be supported forever and you need to use it for the UMD transfer poo poo.

On the discussion of PSP games on Vita, I was actually thinking about this myself while thumbing through the USA selection of titles earlier today. What would everyone say would be games that would be totally improved on Vita with the new digital (for PSP games) right analog stick and bigger screen?
Harping on this forever because I hate shoulder button camera controls but Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3. The PSP thumbstick makes accurate movement a chore since it's so stiff, so you're constantly adjusting the camera with L and R to move your characters around. Being able to use the holy poo poo amazing sticks on the Vita would be great. I admit that the game wouldn't be much improved by the larger screen, but I find the Vita produces a more vibrant image than the PSP.

I wonder what would happen if VC2&3 were localised/ported to the Vita and sold together on one flash card?
I would have a heart attack and die.
More realistically, it probably wouldn't sell very well since the second game was really didn't perform well over here. I'm not even sure of the numbers of the first game, to be honest. The facebook page for the Gallian Liberation Front, a group of people who want the game localised, has 2,343 members. The Facebook page for Valkyria Chronicles itself only has about 10,000 members. While I realise these are hardly "real" numbers, it does show that public awareness of the series is pretty low.

I can see that. Some people took to the focus shift toward character-based storytelling than others but I really wasn't one of them. It felt like these big, world-changing events that occurred in the Final Fantasy games were taking a backseat to highschool drama (not as a detraction, but that really is what FF8 was) and that isn't something that really clicked in the Final Fantasy section of my brain.

Nintendo and Sony have pretty different track records historically when it comes to price drops. Sony is pretty darn prideful, even in the face of financial disaster.

All that let you do was run unsigned code inside the PSP emulator. The system itself hasn't been hacked in the least, and really if you wanted to play a bunch of Genesis games or something, why not just use a PSP? The storage is cheaper and custom firmware adds some interesting stuff.
I actually did want to run SNES emulators and I wanted to do it on my Vita so I wouldn't need my PSP anymore once the PSX announcement came.

Any particular reason why you'd want to do it on the Vita instead of, like, a smartphone or something? It just seems like an expensive platform to get 16-bit games to play on right now, and it's doubtful Sony is going to let any holes stay unpatched going forward, so you'd just end up in the same boat as all those holdouts waiting for PS3 custom firmware, which isn't gonna happen. With PS Suite, it sounds like Sony's giving homebrew devs a means to make stuff through normal channels, so I don't see there being a huge push for the system, but then I guess it has only been a couple months.
I didn't get it just for that and playing them on a smartphone would be a total shitfest because gently caress virtual buttons for games with more than two buttons ever in use.

Meru Plays Catch-Up on WLAN Capabilities
Meru Networks used to be considered the number-three WLAN vendor in the U.S. behind Cisco Systems and Aruba. However, in the past few years Meru has been pushed to the margins. The company has seen its stock drop, and in March last year it brought on a new CEO.
I've spoken with analysts who have contemplated whether Meru's star had burned itself out, but the company is taking steps to re-position itself as a viable competitor. To that end, Meru recently unveiled a new architecture, called MobileFlex, that adds new capabilities and products to the wireless vendor's offerings. The move brings Meru's capabilities up to par with the competitive landscape.
First is context awareness, in which different users, devices, applications, or combinations of the three are handled uniquely on the network according to policy. Meru calls its offering CALS, for Context-aware Application Layers. In the BYOD world in which we now operate, such a capability is table-stakes for a vendor that wants to be competitive in the enterprise.
Meru also joins the chorus of WLAN vendors who are doing Apple's work for them via Service Connect, Meru's solution for the limitations of Apple's Bonjour protocol. In the enterprise WLAN setting, Service Connect provides "Bonjour gateway" functionality across the wireless environment.
For automated guest access and device onboarding, Meru's MobileFlex brings the new IDM 13.2 solution that maps somewhat to Cisco's Integrated Services Engine (ISE) or Aruba's Clear Pass. IDM 13.2 includes 802.1x authentication, device configuration tools for the BYOD crowd, and customizable wireless guest services. It also serves as an integrated RADIUS server for the MobileFlex framework.
Under the topic of unified network management, Meru's E(z) RF has been upgraded to 4.0, and brings new spectrum analysis capabilities to access points that simultaneously support clients (putting Meru on par with market leaders). Meru has also entered into a partnership with SolarWinds that allows for single-pane-of-glass oversight of wired and wireless networks.
[ Join us at Interop Las Vegas for access to 125+ IT sessions and 300+ exhibiting companies. Register today! ]
On the new product front, Meru introduces the MC1550 entry-level controller, which goes to 50 APs and is 802.11ac-ready. Meru is borrowing a page from Xirrus' strategy of providing an "802.11ac investment-protection plan," wherein if customers buy current access points, future 11ac models can be upgraded at a discount. Meru has also introduced a new, single-radio 11n AP1014. Like Ruckus' recent Zoneflex 7055, the new Meru AP1014 allows for wired Ethernet pass-through at new AP locations--a feature I really appreciate.
Meru's key differentiator in the market is its virtual cell single-channel architecture, in which a single channel is shared by multiple APs, with a secret RF sauce that makes the entire WLAN operate on a single channel. Meru's approach defies conventional wireless wisdom wherein network designers meticulously try to lay out non-interfering channel plans.
However, an unconventional architecture isn't enough. Meru has rolled out an impressive collection of updated wireless features to cover everything from BYOD to IPv6, but all this effort merely brings them up to the same level as its competitors. More effort is required to get the company ahead of the game.Lee is a Wireless Network Architect for a large private university.

Delegate Lynwood Lewis casts his ballot in the special election for the District 6 Virginia Senate seat on Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2014 from the Tasley Volunteer Fire Company polling place in Tasley, Va. Lewis, a Democrat, is running against Republican Wayne Coleman for the Senate seat vacated by Ralph Northam, who was elected lieutenant governor in November. / Staff photo by Jay Diem
ACCOMAC — With canvasses complete from Tuesdays special election to fill the District 6 Virginia Senate seat, the lead for Delegate Lynwood Lewis, Jr. over Norfolk businessman B. Wayne Coleman rests at a scant ten votes.
The Accomack County Board of Elections was unable to certify because there is still one provisional ballot that could still be counted if the individual who cast that ballot presents identification to the Board by noon on Friday, said Accomack County Deputy Registrar Karrie Williams.
Its all but certain there will be a recount regardless of who is on top, said Austin Chambers, campaign manager for Coleman, as he waited for the Accomack County Board of Elections to reconvene to canvass the Tangier Island precincts votes.
The canvass was delayed when the boat carrying voting equipment and printouts from the Tangier Island precinct was unable to leave because of ice, said Williams.
The equipment was able to be loaded on a boat carrying U.S. Postal Service mail, which was due to arrive in Crisfield around 5 p.m.
The boat will be met by an election official, said Williams, after which it was driven to Accomack County in time for the Board of Elections to reconvene at 6 p.m.
With the balance of power in the Virginia Senate at stake, the election has garnered attention beyond the Senate district.
I know I should be doing other things, but I cant stop refreshing the VA Senate special election results, MSNBC political commentator Rachel Maddow tweeted Tuesday night.
The election was set by Gov. Bob McDonnell following Sen. Ralph Northams successful bid for the lieutenant governors seat in the November election.
Going into the canvass, Lewis was confident his win would stand.
As far as I know, we won, he told the News Wednesday morning on his way to the Capitol.
Lewis watched the returns in Norfolk, then traveled to Richmond on Tuesday night so he could be on hand when the House of Delegates convened Wednesday morning.
We filed our bills on the House side this morning and are preparing for the transition to the Senate when the time comes, he said.
Colemans campaign, however, was equally confident.
Were feeling great about where we are, said Chambers Wednesday morning.
The unofficial results reported Tuesday night left Lewis ahead with a razor-thin margin of 22 votes.
As the canvass results became available, however, that lead was further shaved to just nine votes.
We owe it to people to voters to get it right, said Austin Chambers, campaign manager for Coleman, moments after the election.
Precincts in Northampton County and Chincoteague were the last to be reported, keeping voters and other election followers on pins and needles until the very end at about 8:50 p.m.
As of 4:10 p.m. on Wednesday, Coleman carried Accomack County with 51.5 percent of the vote, and Lewis won Northampton with 59 percent.
Mathews County and Virginia Beach voters in Senate District 6 favored Coleman, while Lewis carried the area of District 6 that falls within Norfolk.
During the vote canvas, Coleman picked up a total of 16 provisional votes in Accomack County, Norfolk, and Mathews County. Lewis garnered four more votes.
The Accomack County Board of Elections must wait until noon Friday to certify, unless the other voter who cast provisional ballot comes forward with identification before then.
At that point, the State Board of Elections can certify the vote count, opening the way for Colemans campaign to ask for a recount.

The X Factor USA revealed it's new judging panel this week with Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio joining Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato, but it sounds like that's not the only shake up viewers can expect with Fox's president teasing some "major format changes."
Kelly, Paulina, Demi and Simon hit the audition circuit this week, kicking off the first round of the 2013 season of the talent show. Whilst viewers will have to wait awhile to see Mr Cowell and co back on their screens, the network behind the show has teased that things could look very different when the new season begins.
Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell will be welcoming Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio to The X Factor USA (WENN)
Fox's president of alternative entertainment Mike Darnell has revealed that a number of changes are in the works, though he refused to reveal any details: "There will be [changes], but I can't go into that yet," he said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly "Some of them will be major."
Darnell admitted that he doesn't know yet what impact the new judges will have, adding: "Obviously, no-one's had three women judges. You have this Charlie's Angels thing going on with Simon Cowell. From what I heard, it went very well [at the first audition]."
"If anything we've learned that big names don't draw a lot of viewers to the shows. They have to be a great judge. It has to feel familial and fun. That's the main thing."
We bet Si isn't complaining about all the ladies...

The Serbs: History, Myth and the Destruction of Yugoslavia
Plunging forward into pitch-black night, their faces lashed by unseen branches, Srebrenica's fleeing Muslims stumbled forward one against another. Fearing that the fifteen thousand men would disperse and scatter in the darkness, their commanders had linked many together with white string, one man's belt loop to the belt loop of the next, and then the next, until they formed an endless column snaking for mile after mile over eastern Bosnia's darkened mountains and through her wooded, mist-shrouded valleys. Fleeing fallen Srebrenica—which Serb soldiers had at last overwhelmed the day before, on July 11, 1995, after the enclave, its houses and buildings windowless and burned and pocked with shell-holes, its cratered streets teeming with homeless refugees, had endured more than three years of misery, the last two as a United Nations-protected "safe area"—these Muslims shuffled blindly up and over Bosnia's black hills.
For though they had fled the fallen city, leaving their wives and daughters and fathers to the mercy of Serb conquerors—who even now were drunkenly celebrating their triumph, surveying the twenty-five thousand refugees huddled around the Dutch United Nations base at Potocari, picking out young women and raping them, singling out old men and boys and executing them
However much they might have wanted, in their hunger and exhaustion, to believe these sweet words, however much they might have wanted to trust the Serbs to send them peacefully back to government-controlled land, the Muslims knew, as Bosnian Prime Minister Hasan Muratovic later put it, "what Serbs did before."
Wherever they captured people, they either detained or killed all males from 18 to 55 [years old]. It has never happened that the men of that age arrived across the front-line.
Srebrenica's men understood as well that they were "special cases," that years of massacre and retribution meant that they could expect no quarter after the countless raids their fearless commander Naser Oric had led against nearby Serb villages, raids in which Srebrenica's famished refugees would storm Serb lines, picking houses clean of food before setting them afire. And so Srebrenica's fifteen thousand ignored the Serbs' siren song and set out in their long column, with fewer …

Imagine sitting in a Mediterranean garden — the sun on your face and the scent of lavender filling the air. You only have to inhale the perfume fragrance of lavender to become a lover. Lavender evokes calm and awakens the senses.
Its lovely fragrance, its drought tolerance, its ability to grow in sunny, rocky habitats and poor soils makes it a wonderful addition to El Dorado County gardens. Plus, it attracts bees, beneficial insects, birds and butterflies.
No gardener could miss the beauty of lavender, however, most are unaware of the diversity of colors, shapes and sizes, the genus lavendula produces. Faced with an array of more than 40 named varieties, it's no wonder it's difficult to decide which to choose.
When purchasing lavender plants, choose those plants where the botanical name is identified. There are three hardy lavender varieties to showcase in county gardens: Lavandula angustifolia (English, true lavender), Lavandula x intermedia (Lavandins, English lavender) and Lavender stoechas (Spanish).
L. angustifolia is the hardiest of all the lavenders, has the broadest color range of all species, has mostly grey-green, narrow leaves and a fruity spicy delicate scent.
Preferred for its aroma and for culinary purposes, L.angustifolia tends to be the shorter, more compact plant and blooms earlier than the Lavendins.
Popular angustifolias are the famous deep purple blooms of hidcote, dark blue blooms of lodden blue and the pastel pink of Melissa and Jean Davis. Prune in spring or fall.
L. x intermedia is a hybrid cross of L. angustifolia with L. latifolia. It has long-stemmed flowers with thick flower spikes and two secondary flower clusters below the primary one. Some common L. x intermedias are Fred boutin', grosso, Provence, seal and white spike. Prune only in fall for blooms.
L. stoechas is very showy with compressed barrel shaped flowers, topped by colorful butterfly winged-like bracts. Stoechas will make your garden hum, blooming profusely in early spring and attracting pollinators to fruit and nut trees. When finished blooming, give it a good pruning. Although not preferred in the kitchen, stoechas' piney fragrance makes it an exceptional landscape plant. Favorite stoechas are purple Otto quast, red kew red, blue/white blueberry ice and pink tickled pink.
Lavenders need full sun (6 hours) a day and sandy, well-drained soil to thrive. Optimum exposure to heat and sun will result in more fragrant blooms.
Amend EDC soil with compost to help break up the red clay. A rule of thumb is to amend the garden soil in the planting area with equal parts of sand and organic compost. Mulch lavenders with white rock or pea gravel (3/8 inch). Barks and wood chips can promote disease.
Some believe that the reflection from white rock creates heat for the plant. Keep mulch away from the stem. Fertilizer is rarely required when organic matter is used in planting hole.
During their first and second years they need regular water, especially during summer heat and fall drought. Lavenders can be drought resistant after they come to maturity and are well established.
Avoid overhead watering to prevent root rot. Lavenders cannot tolerate "wet feet." Providing good air circulation between plants is a must. Pinch, prune and harvest lavenders to keep plants well shaped and to encourage new growth. Annual pruning can also avoid woody centers. Prune no more than 1/3 of the plant.
Harvesting lavender is one of the most enjoyable activities a gardener can experience. Harvest flower stems in the morning after dew evaporation. To keep the entire flower spike intact, cut when the first two flowers have opened. Hang tied bunches of lavender in a dry, dark place with good ventilation or individual stems across drying screen.
For those who don't have planting areas, lavender can thrive in pots. Lavender prefers a tight living space, a container that can accommodate the rootball with several inches to spare. Too large a container encourages excessive dampness. Water the containers year-round.
Both lavender flowers and foliage are fragrant. Lavender can be used for cooking, cut flowers, fragrance and potpourri mixtures. When given as a gift, lavender flowers represent luck, purity and silence, a message of devotion.
Lavenders can brighten a garden for 10 plus years. Never hesitate to replace old woody plants.

Golden Paints is recognised internationally as one of the leading manufacturers of acrylic paints and medium. Golden place a high priority on the health and safety of the artists's studio and materials. They feel the artists should be aware of any potential hazards so Golden far surpass the required quantity of health and safety advice on their labels. Their products are not more dangerous, just more fully labelled. For more information please visit www.goldenpaints.com
A History of Golden Paints
At the height of the depression in the 1930s, Sam Golden joined his uncle Leonard Bocour as a partner in Bocour Artist Colors. Leonard and Sam produced hand-ground oil colors for artists. The shop on 15th Street in Manhattan became a hangout for artists from the 1930s through the early 1950s. Artists such as Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Helen Frankenthaler and Jack Levine would go to the shop to visit with Leonard, talk to Sam and get paint.
During one visit an artist gave Sam a honey like resin and asked if it could be made into paint. Sam recognized that this idea would require experimentation as the early batches of the new paint seemed to dry before the paint was applied. Between 1946 and 1949, and after much trial and error, the first artist acrylic paint was ready for production. One of the earliest artists to use the paint "Magna", was Morris Louis. Sam eventually developed a more popular waterborne version of the acrylic, "Aquatec." He continued to refine the chemistry of acrylic paints working with artists for the next 20 years to find what worked and what did not.
After 30 years in the paint making business, Sam retired and moved to picturesque New Berlin, New York. Sam planned to fish and golf, but quickly grew bored with retirement and found himself "going to the barn to make paint for friends." At the age of 67 Sam decided to come out of retirement.
Golden Artist Colors, Inc. began in June of 1980 in a 900 square foot, renovated barn. Sam, his wife Adele, son Mark and daughter-in-law Barbara Golden along with partner Chuck Kelly, founded a new company that would embody Sam's dedication to professional artists, work Sam described as simply "making tools for artists."
The first four years were financially challenging. Sam and Adele used every resource they had to keep the business alive. Mark took weekly trips to New York City to sell products to artists and continue the conversation that had made Bocour so successful.
The business began to succeed with very loyal support the product was gaining from professional artists. In 1985, the addition of a factory to the original cow barn gave the company 6,200 square feet of space. As the building grew, so did product lines. The original Heavy Body and Iridescent Acrylics grew to include Fluid, Matte and Interference Acrylics.
As the GOLDEN brand gained respect in the artist community, more and more retail stores began to sell GOLDEN product. To meet the growing demand another addition to the corporate headquarters was completed in 1990. The 13,000 square foot expansion added office, production and inventory space as well as a gallery. In July 1990, Golden Artist Colors celebrated its tenth anniversary and Sam Golden's 50th anniversary of paint making.
The company received many local and national awards including the 1991 Business Arts Award by the Chenango County Chamber of Commerce and the Council of the Arts. Mark Golden received the 1996 Small Business Person of the Year from the US Small Business Administration, Golden Artist Colors was featured on the NBC Nightly News as a successful small business. In 1998 Mark Golden was selected by Fortune Magazine to appear in a video series on small business.
GOLDEN added 31,000 square feet to the facility in 1997 and took down the "old barn". But the surge in growth, sales and employees that year was eclipsed by sadness when Sam Golden died at age 82, on March 11, 1997. Sam left behind a legacy of participation in the creative process of artists and their materials.
In 2008 Golden Artist Colors launched OPEN Acrylics, a new line of colors and mediums with exceptionally slow drying characteristics to allow artists to blend and rework acrylic paint in ways only possible previously with oils. OPEN introduces a completely new opportunity for artists and represents the kind of product innovation and commitment to artists that Sam imparted on the company that bears his name.
Today GOLDEN maintains a culture of individual excellence and community involvement. GOLDEN has sponsored "Paint Day," to provide the people who make paint the experience of painting, and "Kids Day" when kids come and see where their parents work and get to use the product. The "Seconds Program" offers paint that does not meet GOLDEN standards and offers it at little or no cost to employees, local artists and nonprofit organizations.
Golden Artist Colors, Inc. became an employee owned company in 2002. And despite worldwide distribution, GOLDEN product is still created on the grounds of the original barn in New Berlin using the highest standards for consistency and quality.
GOLDEN constantly strives to outdo itself by operating on three principles: 1) Make the best products, 2) Provide customers with the best service, and 3) Find people who can make the first two happen. These principles are the essence of Sam Golden's commitment to artists and their tools and they are how we hope to grow a sustainable company dedicated to creating and sharing the most imaginative and innovative tools of color, line and texture for inspiring those who turn their vision into reality.

There may be an easier way, but when I put new 6.5" speakers in my 93 I had to take half the damn car apart. The grills attach from under the rear deck so out came the back seat, the rear interior sides etc. I had to do a little hacking to get the 6.5's in, but they sound SO much better. I ended up putting some more up front. There was a guy selling enclosures for the doors on ebay that worked really well. Those 4" speakers suck.......
Posted 27 December 2008 - 01:47 PM
yea unfortunalyt they only way to get to the rear speakers is to literaly take apart the entire back half of the interiror. it seems like a hard intimidating ordeal, but i promise you its fairly simple and straight forward.
im sorry i couldnt find the exact directions i used, but these are pretty good as well,

Office managers of dental offices have a variety of administrative duties, and leadership skills are highly beneficial in order to oversee other staff members such as secretaries, bookkeepers, and dental assistants. Office managers may hire, schedule, and manage these employees, as well as fill in for duties of secretaries when necessary. In smaller practices, they may fulfill these duties regularly.Read More...
Managers of dental offices may be expected to greet customers at the front desk and answer telephone calls, so strong customer service and communication skills are important to assist customers in-person, on the phone, and via electronic communications. Scheduling patients for appointments and sending out reminders may also be necessary. These managers may be responsible for maintaining full schedules for the facility, so strong computer skills are important, as well.
Those in this position may need to be proficient with accounting, as it is often necessary to oversee financial transactions. They may also need to ensure that patients have eligible insurance coverage and communicate with insurers to pre-approve patients for services and to receive reimbursement. Collections of fees owed by customers may occasionally be necessary.
Dental office managers must be able to understand basic dental terms and answer questions and concerns from customers. They may have budgets to oversee, as well as purchasing duties, and it's important to ensure that purchases are of high quality but also affordable. They must also take inventory to ensure that necessary supplies are available at all times.

Office Managers of Dental Offices who transition into a Practice Administrator role may receive large pay increases as the latter position pays an average $67K per year. It is quite typical for Office Managers of Dental Offices to transition into roles as Dental Office Managers or Practice Managers, where reported median earnings are $2K and $11K higher per year.
Office Managers of Dental Offices seem to require a rather large skill set. Most notably, skills in Payroll Administration, Accounts Payable, Operations Management, and Accounting are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 4 percent and 8 percent. Skills that pay less than market rate include Customer Service, Software Knowledge, and Scheduling. Those educated in Insurance tend to be well versed in Billing and Accounts Receivable.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Office Managers of Dental Offices do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. During the first five years of their careers, Office Managers of Dental Offices see a median income of $38K. Survey respondents with five to 10 years of experience report an only modestly higher median of $40K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $44K. Veterans who have acquired more than 20 years report a median income of $49K, which is generally higher than the pay reported by other tenure groups.

Website Design Checklist
A lot of print designers now find themselves tasked with designing for the web, and handing their designs over to a team of web developers to actually implement. It's one thing to design a beautiful landing page, but what's really needed from them is a set of fully realized PSD mockups that leave very little to the CSS developer's imagination. Here's a list of often-overlooked interior page elements that designers should provide for every site.
Joomla Plugin: Tabs & Slides
A stock Joomla 1.5 install has no built-in facility to display page content in tabs or slides, and so developers must either cobble something together from scratch or use a third party plugin. And that's what takes us to our first plugin of the series… Joomla Tabs and Slides (in content items).

Affluenza, purported higher IQs, and now a headstart for those who already stack the deck?
via Politico
Swiss banks are quietly warning wealthy U.S. clients with secret accounts to come clean with the tax man in the next two weeks — or risk jail time, according to several letters obtained by POLITICO.
The letters come ahead of a New Year's Eve deadline the U.S. government set for about 300 Swiss banks to take deals protecting them from prosecution. In exchange for confessing and shelling out mountains of Americans' account information, they'll get immunity. It is a new twist to the traditional bank-client relationship.
"The banks have every incentive right now to shove their American clients into compliance in order to reduce the penalties," said tax attorney Jeff Neiman, who prosecuted Swiss banking giant UBS for the U.S. government.
The effort is part of a U.S. crackdown on American tax evaders and the banks that help them, which ramped up when Swiss banking giant UBS admitted as much with a $780 million settlement in 2009.

We all want to be civil, right?Â
Just last year, with the deepest sincerity, our president implored Americans to engage in more civil discourse, to be more tolerant of disparate opinions and less confrontational, to "sharpen our instincts for empathy," and to search our souls for answers to America's disunity following the shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords.  Â
Either many of Barack Hussein Obama's rabid supporters didn't get that civility memo or they interpreted it as a veiled call to arms since they immediately ratcheted up their uncivil, vile, mean-spirited invective after the president's Tucson speech in total disregard of his heart-felt appeal.  Â
With a national election looming, Obama's armies have taken to even more reprehensible rhetoric and, to supplement their words, have launched an unprecedented wave of deadly violence.Â
Cynics like Robin Leach foolishly think the president of the United States craves that gross incivility and mindless violence serve as tools to create civil unrest and a possible race war to help pave his way to a second term. He may be right. Â
A few selected instances reflecting the ratcheting but precious little soul-searching:   Â
. A tourist in Baltimore was assaulted by a black man and, adding severe insult to his injuries, he was beaten, robbed, and stripped naked on a public street by a crowd of blacks who later boasted about the crime they had committed. (See the video here http://cbsloc.al/HfgD04)
 .  Former world heavyweight boxing champion and disgraced, convicted felon Mike Tyson weighed in on the Trayvon Martin affair by opining that "It's a disgrace that man [George Zimmerman] hasn't been shot yet. Forget about him being arrested–the fact that he hasn't been shot yet is a disgrace." (http://yhoo.it/HC0ep3)Â
 . Obama buddy, black Harvard Professor Charles Ogletree, suggested on Al Sharpton's National Network Convention that whites would be given preference had a black killed a white man instead of the half-hispanic Zimmerman killing Trayvon Martin. (http://bit.ly/HPlT8U)  Â
 . Carl Milton Babb has made a career of purse-snatching and within hours of release from prison after serving a two-year stint for stealing a purse, he snatched another in Gainesville, Florida, was pursued, and was aided and abetted by a crowd of blacks who stomped on him while chanting, "Trayvon." (http://bit.ly/IzPNEs) Â
. At least seven white people were attacked and beaten by mobs of black thugs over the course of one March weekend in Grand Rapids, Michigan, attacks censored, as usual, by local media which didn't see fit to report them. (http://exm.nr/IjBOMo)Â
 . The lunatic leader of the black racist Nation of Islam, Screwy Louie Farrakhan, recently ranted in Memphis, Tennessee that "in a few days, people are gonna kill their leaders" and in Pine Bluff, Arkansas warned whites that, "We know your origin in the world and we know how long you were set to live and unless you change, your end has come.â€Â (http://bit.ly/HMyv63) (http://bit.ly/HPHbIT)   Â
 . The reliably-racist New Black Panther Party bemoaned the media focus on black violence, called the white man "the devil," declared a race war, and uncivilly remembered the late conservative, Andrew Breitbart, by saying, "May he rest in piss." (Video: http://bit.ly/IY1GSP)   Â
. State Rep. Chuck Kruger, Democratic chairman of the Maine Legislature's Moderate Caucus, proved that incivility isn't confined to African-Americans when he tweeted that our former vice president should be executed: "Cheney deserves same final end as he gave Saddam.â€Â http://thedc.com/J1gdch)
Time and space considerations limit inclusion of multiple other examples of the utter failure of the president's vacuous plea for more civility in America.  In any event, Obama obviously should have directed his wish to his fellow blacks who commit the most uncivil acts and who have, every year, murdered more of their own race than all the servicemen and women who have died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined.Â
The campaigning First "Lady" of the United States added a touch of unintended, ironic humor to the prevailing, toxic political atmosphere when she presumptuously misquoted Matthew 4:16 by saying of her hubby, "This president has brought us out of the dark and into the light."Â
I don't know what light Michelle O. is seeing but it sure isn't the light of civility.

Home The Foundation Mission & History
Mission & History
The Papal Foundation began in 1988 as a response to the desire of Catholic clergy and laity in the U.S. for a unique, sustainable way to support the Holy Father and his witness in the world.
The vision is to establish an endowment that will strengthen the Holy Father's ability to fulfill the mission of Saint Peter.
Income generated from the investment of capital creates a perpetual source of revenue. The portfolio does not invest in any companies that engage in activities inconsistent with our faith.
Our Donors
Donors can be individuals, foundations or fraternal groups. Membership starts with the pledge to give $1 million over the course of no more than ten years with a minimum donation of $100,000 per year. Those who choose to make this commitment become Stewards of Saint Peter and join a growing network of dedicated American Catholics in service to the Successor of Peter.
The vision of our founding members and the commitment of our Stewards has resulted in a fund that has grown to over $220 million with a total of $111 million awarded in grants and scholarships.

Elizabeth Forward girls improve to 7-0 with assistant coach at helm
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Elizabeth Forward was without its coach Thursday night, but it didn't keep the Warriors from staying unbeaten in girls basketball.
With assistant Mark Ferguson manning the bench in place of ailing Sam Kosanovich, Kylie Owoc scored 19 points, and No. 3 Elizabeth Forward breezed past visiting Thomas Jefferson, 75-53, in a Section 4-AAA game.
Kosanovich, who led Elizabeth Forward to the WPIAL Class AAA championship game in 2012, was sidelined with an unspecified illness and called on Ferguson, a third-year assistant, to lead the team.
"It's nothing serious that we know of," Ferguson said. "He just needs to take a little time off. We're expecting that he'll be back after New Year's.
Elizabeth Forward (7-0, 3-0) is scheduled to face McKeesport on Dec. 27 at the Elizabeth Forward Betsy Invitational Tournament before traveling to Brownsville for a section game on Jan. 2.
"We have a veteran team," Ferguson said. "Our system is in place here, and the girls did a good job of executing tonight."
Natalie Fekula scored 16 points, Alison Pastore added 12 and Abigail Sporio had 10 for Elizabeth Forward, which scored more than 20 points in each of the first three quarters and led 72-38 early in the fourth before both teams played the remainder of the way with mainly reserves.
"The thing that we really preach is there are no superstars," said Ferguson, whose tie with Kosanovich goes back to his college playing days at Point Park, where Kosanovich first spent time as a men's assistant before taking over as women's coach.
The two came to Elizabeth Forward for the start of the 2011-12 season.
"We preach a team concept," Ferguson said. "So far, it's been a team effort. One day it could be Kylie (Owoc) getting our points, the next day maybe it'll be Natalie (Fekula), the next day maybe somebody else."
Elizabeth Forward took a 25-14 lead after the first quarter on strong shooting. Fekula and Pastore scored eight points each during the early run.
The Warriors built the lead to 46-25 at halftime as Owoc finished with 14 points, including three 3-pointers, at the break.
"We just couldn't stop them," said Thomas Jefferson coach Phil Shar, in his first season with the Jaguars after a long and successful run at West Mifflin. "We did all right on the offensive end. I was encouraged. But we need to improve our defense."
Thomas Jefferson's lineup includes two freshmen starters, and Shar said he's happy that his team had the opportunity to face Elizabeth Forward early in the season.
"It will be good for us. They're way more experienced with four starters back," Shar said. "We played a lot of young kids, but they played hard."
Senior Alexis Yanief scored 19 points, and freshman Haley Zoglmann added 16 for Thomas Jefferson (4-3, 1-1). Yanief scored the Jaguars' first 11 points and finished the first half with 14.
A 22-13 edge in the third quarter gave Elizabeth Forward a 68-38 advantage, and the Warriors stretched their lead as many as 34 points in the fourth quarter.
"We try to shut people down. We want to shut people down," Ferguson said. "We talk about that all the time. We weren't too successful with Yanief. But we were able to score points early. We came out on fire, and that was a pretty nice surprise."

Yesterday, the phone rang, it was my brother, he said "The hillside is full of Lady Slippers today. You better get over there! " The sun was shining too much for good photographs, so I waited for some clouds to move in, when they finally did late in the afternoon, I put on my very fashionable white socks that go up to my knees over the tops of my pant legs and donned my hiking boots. Chance and Far Guy knew immediately that I was off on a mission. Chance ran to the car and laid down, Far Guy said "Do you want me to go along?" I replied "No, it is not necessary, as I explained my intended route to him."
Chance loves these little trips, he is the co pilot and sits in the front seat. We saw a deer, and he growled, the deer made a u turn right in front of the car. We saw some newly blooming white wildflowers, along the short cut, the short cut is a gravel road without too much traffic..I stopped to investigate and was immediately swarmed by a whole bunch of bees. I got right back in the car. Chance looked at me like "Hey, that was quick! " We travelled on, and then we saw a SSSSnake in the road.. can you close your eyes, scream, lift your legs up and still stay on the road and out of the swamp? Well I just about turned around and went back home..but the lure of the hillside was too great. I will have to go back home another way..certainly Far Guy if he comes this way looking for me will see the SSSSnake and know without a doubt that I will not travel this road back. I believe it was a heavily wounded SSSnake..perhaps even dead..
The traffic is horrendous, it is a two lane road, hilly, there is a little trail and approach on the north side of the road where I can safely park out of harms way. Chance knows he is not allowed out of the car on any of these trips. He is content to watch. The hillside is full, I took all of my photographs from the edge of the ditch while standing in the tall grass. Walking among these beautiful Orchids is not on my agenda, I will not trample any of them, they are too beautiful to risk disturbing. The hillside is as heavy in bud as it is in bloom…so it is not in peak bloom yet.
Some cars slowed down, many honked, one slowed down to look and was nearly rear ended by another. Huge semis roar past, the grasses bend and move in the vortex left in their wake. I know that sometime there is going to be a horrific accident on this hillside..and I really don't want to be here when that happens. When the Minnesota Department of Transportation declared this Highway a scenic byway..it was only meant to be viewed at 55 MPH..they failed to think about anyone that may actually want to stop and look. The Lady's Slippers were causing quite the excitement yesterday. Either that or it was my sexy looking socks:)

ANDERSON, Ind. -- The much-anticipated revamping of the Indianapolis Colts' offensive line is on track, but at least initially with an unexpected twist.
Jeff Linkenbach, signed as an undrafted rookie in 2010, is expected to open practice this morning as the starting left tackle.
That spot had been reserved for first-round draft pick Anthony Castonzo. However, the former Boston College standout -- all rookies for that matter -- likely are swimming upstream after the NFL's lockout robbed players of any team-directed offseason work. ...

According to a Spanish newspaper called El Diario, the Governor of the Mexican state of Chihuahua is demanding all copies of GRAW 2 be pulled from retailer's shelves. The Governor's knee jerk reaction to the game seems to be coming from the city of Juarez's mayor who has openly criticized GRAW 2's content calling it "a crime against the intellectual capacity of Juarez residents". And if you don't know, GRAW 2's storyline does deal with Mexican rebels and US forces duking it out on the US / Mexican border ... something the Mexican government obviously doesn't like. What do you think, silly government officials on their soap box or something to be really concerned about?

Book Title: The Intellectual Rebel
Chapter Twenty-four
Genius is the creative processes that cannot be taught or understood. The frontiers of genius will forever recede out of man's reach by the definition of genius, because creative processes that man can teach or understand are not genius. If professors can teach students to be creative like Newton or Einstein, then Newton or Einstein will not be considered to be geniuses anymore, because their forms of creativity would become commonplace.
When man has created creative machines, the definition of genius will have to change, because genius will always remain, and has to remain beyond the understanding of man by the definition of genius. Genius is any kind of creative processes that is beyond human understanding, and as soon as it becomes within the domain of human understanding, it is no longer genius. For the above reasons, no one can foresee what future generations will consider genius to be. Genius is a forever changing term that is used to describe creativity that is beyond the domain of human understanding.
Future creative machines will be considered to be geniuses, if their creative processes are beyond the understanding of their designers. As soon as the designers of creative machines understand the creative processes involved in their creative machines, their creative machines will no longer be considered to be geniuses. Therefore, the creative processes involved in being considered a genius are constantly changing as society progresses.
The mental processes underlying creativity are many, because there is no one mental process underlying all forms of

|Reed vibration, pressure, and airflow in Western free-reed instruments.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18190016 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Western free reed instruments, including the reed organ, harmonium, harmonica, and accordion, use asymmetric free reeds that are able to maintain sustained oscillation in the absence of a pipe resonator. Studies of the motion of air-driven American reed organ reeds and accordion reeds have been made that yield the volume air flow through the reed opening as a function of time. Reed vibration waveforms are obtained using a variable impedance transducer, and corresponding sound pressure waveforms are obtained from a probe microphone at positions near the reed opening on both sides of the reed tongue. The airflow waveform is obtained by integrating the pressure waveform and using a calculated area function and is calibrated using the measured average and minimum airflow rates. The results are compared with earlier preliminary studies as well as recent theoretical work. For pressure and airflow waveforms among different types of reeds or for the same reed at different blowing pressures, differences can be understood in terms of the configuration of the reed and reed frame system, as well as the amplitude of reed vibration.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- Police say a gunman opened fire from a car, killing a man outside his Birmingham apartment in the city's 7th killing in less than a week.
Birmingham police say the man was standing outside his apartment complex and talking with a friend when a dark-colored SUV drove by and someone started firing a gun from the vehicle.
Police Lt. Sean Edwards tells WBRC-TV (http://bit.ly/Wfj3bk) that several shots were fired, and the man was struck in the chest. He died at a hospital early Thursday morning.
Others killed in the past week include two men shot in a gun battle outside the Showstoppers Motorcycle Club; a 71-year-old woman stabbed in a break-in at her home; and a man shot during a robbery attempt as he walked through a park with his wife.
