US Dentists Help Victims of Domestic Violence Smile Again
Dental News - G J E 4
Give Back a Smile does seem to be working wonders for victims of violence in US. Founded in 1999 by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the nonprofit group is putting domestic violence survivors in touch with dentists who volunteer their services.
To date, 500 applicants have been treated in the United States. They are carefully screened and a counselor or social worker must confirm that the injuries were caused by domestic violence. That's sometimes done through checking police reports or restraining orders. Many have benefited, like Susan Kauffman. Not only does she have a perfect set of teeth, but after enduring physical abuse repeatedly in her life, she also has renewed self-esteem. "I had a broken spirit," Kauffman said. "I became very isolated ... and became a recluse."
AdvertisementKauffman, 62, grew up poor. She said she didn't own a toothbrush until she was 10. Abuse in the intervening years made the problems with her teeth much worse, she said. Unable to afford dental care, she learned to hide broken teeth and gum disease. "I was an expert," Kauffman said. "I could talk, I could laugh, I could eat and chew and you wouldn't know I had bad teeth."
Life changed dramatically for Kauffman about a year and a half ago when she learned about Give Back a Smile. "These individuals really need somebody to take care of their oral health and give them a boost of energy and self-confidence. I wanted to help," said Dr. Sam Sadati, of Wellington, Florida, the dentist who performed the work on Kauffman. He's one of more than 800 dental professionals around the country who've taken part in the program.
Kauffman was very timid and nervous during her first appointment, Sadati said. "She was abused and hit many times and she had many different dental problems that we had to take care of," he said. "She had multiple teeth that couldn't be saved and those that she had...needed a root canal, crowns or a bridge. Her bite was collapsed and not right."
Sadati said the work took six months and cost nearly $40,000. Kauffman didn't have to pay a penny. "All of that money -- there is no way I could have afforded this," said Kauffman. She said the day Sadati agreed to take her case was the happiest of her life. "I was in crisis," Kauffman said. "I thought the only hope for me was to have all of them pulled and have dentures."
Kauffman admitted being terrified while sitting in the dental chair, but her fears subsided as she started to see the initial results. "I remember my reaction with the temporaries. I thought these were fine -- these were perfect. I don't need anything else, I'm never coming back, and he [Sadati] said, no, we're not done, these are temporaries."
When the work was finished, a dental assistant handed Kauffman a mirror. "I was overjoyed," Kauffman said with a smile. "I feel beautiful. It's given me my self-esteem, my self-worth. It's given me my life."

Giving blood is a selfless act which saves lives. Every minute of every day someone in Canada needs blood or one of its components. While donated blood can last up to 42 days, most of the blood Canadian Blood Services collects is shipped to hospitals for use within a week. That is why the need for blood is constant. And with an aging population, the need for blood is increasing steadily. Giving blood is one of the most direct ways you can make a difference to someone's health. It only takes about an hour, doesn't cost you any money, and has the potential to save up to three lives. That is the beauty of blood.
Ways to Donate
Giving blood is not the only way that you can make a difference, the opportunity is there to show your support through financial gifts. Whether it's a one time, monthly, legacy or corporate gift getting involved can be more than rolling up your shirt! All donations are tax deductable and you will receive a receipt confirming the donation.
Canadian Blood Services
Canadian Blood Services is the national, not-for-profit organization that operates the blood system in all provinces and territories (excluding Quebec). They have 41 permanent blood collection locations across the country and operate more than 19,000 community and corporate mobile clinics, which makes it easy and convenient to donate.
Where to Go: To find out when and where the nearest clinic is taking place or to register for the Unrelated Bone Marrow Donor Registry, visit www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283).

In the years since it began, The Americana Music Festival and Conference has steadily grown from a small niche festival in Nashville's cluttered landscape of musical events to a thriving national brand. If today's big announcement of the initial Americana Showcase lineup and a huge Avett Brothers show at Riverfront Park is any indicator, Americanafest's organizers plan to keep the brand growing even more.
Americanafest 2014 will be held Sept. 17-21 in venues throughout Nashville, but this year will also branch out to include by far its biggest undertaking yet. Americana superstar The Avett Brothers, fresh off providing pre-headlining duties for Elton John at nearby Bonnaroo, have been announced to headline a concert on Saturday, Sept. 20 at Riverfront Park. The Riverfront Park location is the usual home of a portion of the much larger CMA Festival, as well as playing host to shows like Americanarama and Pretty Lights in the past. The show is a massive step forward for the Americana Music Festival. Admission is included for those who buy full passes to the Americana Music Festival and Conference or can be purchased individually starting June 27.
But The Avett Brothers aren't the only artists appearing at Americanafest 2014. Only half of the 160 artists scheduled to perform in 11 venues throughout Nashville have been announced but it's already enough to give any serious Americana fan a pre-emptive conflict headache.
If you want legends, Americanafest has you covered. Veteran performers for Americanafest 2014 include genre ambassador Buddy Miller, Texas rebel Billy Joe Shaver, Americana royalty Carlene Carter, songwriting and producing legend Joe Henry, gospel pioneers The Fairfield Four, and British rocker and Americana enthusiast Robyn Hitchcock.
If you're looking for hardcore Americanafest veterans, there are plenty on offer as well. East Nashville's favorite son Todd Snider will perform a "and friends" show that is sure to include some great guests. Fan favorites Hayes Carll, Rodney Crowell, Sarah Jarosz, Paul Thorn, and Marty Stuart will also perform.
For those looking for proof of the genre's youth movement, Americanafest 2014 delivers one of its strongest lineups yet. Standouts include Lake Street Dive, who recently packed the Bluegrass Situation stage at Bonnaroo, Howlin' Brothers, Parker Millsap, and Black Prairie will perform.
To hold so many bands, Americanafest had to expand its list of venues this year as well. This year City Winery on Lafayette joins the usual complement of venues hosting shows.
Americanafest 2014 will be held Sept. 17-21 at Nashville's Hutton Hotel and in music venues throughout the city. The full initial list of Americana Showcase performers can be found here.

Shhhh! Don't tell anyone. Particularly the broadcast media, but the real sports news this weekend is happening far away from the Redskins. The Nats, fighting for the division lead, open a 10-game home stand in South East. And the really big news involves clubs the broadcasters don't know exist.
Both the Mystics and Spirit can clinch playoff appearances with wins Aug. 15 and 16. Washington is in Connecticut tonight against the Sun (12-20). Technically, the Sun is the only team eliminated from the WNBA's Eastern Division race. The Mystics (15-17) are riding a two-game losing streak.
Friday's game is the fifth meeting of the season between the Mystics and Sun. Washington leads the season series, 3-1. The Sun last played against the Mystics Aug. 10 where they won 89-81.
Ivory Latta is leading the Mystics with 12.7 points per game and 3.4 assists. Monique Currie drops 10.1 ppg and Emma Meesseman adds 9.9 ppg and 6.2 rpg. Kia Vaughn leads Washington with 6.4 caroms per game.
Former Maryland All-America Alyssa Thomas starts for Connecticut. She averages nearly 10 points and more than 5 rebounds per contest. Chiney Ogwumike leds the Sun averaging 15.6 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. Katie Douglas averages 13.2 ppg and Alex Bentley averages 11.9 ppg and 3.7 assists.
The Suns weakness is on the bench. The team has six players averaging 10 minutes or less per game. All of each average less than 2 ppg.
The Washington Spirit are living a pretender-to-contender story at the Maryland Soccer Complex. The team is a win or draw away from a 2014 playoff position a year removed from a last-place 3-14-5 conclusion in 2013.
The Spirit close the regular season 6:30 pm Saturday at home against Sky Blue FC. Sky Blue is clinging to a slim playoff hope of its own. Washington needs a win or tie to guarantee its post-season position. If Washington loses, Seattle must beat or draw Portland or Western New York stop Chicago for the Spirit to advance, according to, the National Women's Soccer League. Washington will be eliminated if they fail to beat SBFC and both Portland and Chicago win their games this weekend.
Jodie Taylor leads Washington in goals with 11. Diana Matheson tops the team with six assists. Ashlyn Harris (10-5-4) may miss the game due to concussion symptoms. If Chantel Jones (0-3-1) starts in net, she will still have Alex Singer, Toni Pressley, Tori Huster and U.S. international Ali Krieger in front of her.

I've always been in love with Victorian style homes. I thought these beautiful vintage illustrations of Victorian House Plans were so inspiring. I grouped together four images into two sets of collages.
Victorian House Plans
Valentine's Day History
Just where St. Valentine fits into Valentine's Day and why the day should be named in his honor is a little bit of a mystery – it is really Cupid's day, and one could scarcely accuse the little love god of having ever been a bishop of the early Christian church. The St Valentines were, […]
Privilege of Marriage
Rules from Thomas Paine's Utopia – I don't think anyone would be eligible for marriage today: "Their women are not married before eighteen nor their men before two-and- twenty, and if any of them run into forbidden embraces before marriage they are severely punished, and the privilege of marriage is denied them unless they can […]

Columbus City Council passed an ordinance July 2, giving Columbus City Utilities customers a one-time credit on their May, 2012 sewer charges, due to the extremely hot and dry May. The credit is to compensate customers for water that was used in May, primarily for watering landscaping, but did not go into the sewers. The normal summer sewer allowance is for usage in June thru September.
The allowance will be calculated using the formula put forth in the summer sewer allowance ordinance. A winter usage average is calculated based on the months of February, March, and April. This average usage will be compared to the actual usage in May (billed in June), with a credit given for the difference in gallons based on the sewer rate. This credit will appear on the customer's bill as soon as possible, in either July or August.

The Advice Goddess
By Amy Alkon 09/12/2013
eBuy meets girl
My previous relationship was passionate but was with an emotionally abusive man. I've been dating a new man for five months. I wasn't initially attracted to him, but he ended up sweeping me off my feet because he's the most generous man I've ever met. He's all about me. He goes out of his way to do so many nice things for me — even buying me things I can't afford. We've had fun, but I've had doubts creeping in, like about how he's still not my physical type. Also, I'm not sure we share enough interests or, quite frankly, are on the same level intellectually. Then again, I know he'd go along with anything I wanted to do, because he just wants to make me happy. I'm just not sure that's enough. Because of all the pros about him and my previous bad choices, I made myself give him a chance. Perhaps I'm just sabotaging things because subconsciously I don't feel I deserve all this kindness.
Wanting to want someone isn't enough. Eventually, when he starts getting all smoochy-feely, your head will lecture your retreating funparts, "Come on … he's so nice. You should want to get it on," and your body will counter with, "Unfortunately, you'd rather have your face eaten off by a raccoon."
If only one of the "many nice things" this guy does for you could be transforming himself into somebody you're actually attracted to. You, like many well-meaning but misguided idealists, want to believe you can become attracted to somebody the way you can learn to fly-fish or bartend. Sure, great people sometimes get more attractive as you get to know them. But for them to get attractive enough for you to want to get naked with them, they have to have enough of the stuff you need in a person to go "hubba-hubba" instead of "yawna-yawna" or worse: "Get away from me, or I'll scream."
You say you've had doubts creeping in, and around the top of the list should be, "Is he a man or a purse dog?" It's a bad sign if he really would "go along with anything (you) wanted to do." His unflagging eagerness to please suggests he's one of those guys who think they have to buy a woman's company with their cash and compliance. On a more positive note, this pleaserhood does resolve the matching interests issue, since one big thing you have in common is that he likes whatever you like. (Have you nicknamed him "Xerox"?)
If you don't feel you deserve a nice guy, that's something to address, but not by bolting yourself to some all-weather Santa you find borderline dumb and about as sexy as grout. You need to hold out for physical, emotional, intellectual, and best friend-ly chemistry. A guy should also be enough of a person to sometimes find what you want to do hellishly boring or excruciatingly girly and suggest you do it alone or with a friend. If he's right for you, at times when he isn't right there with you, you'll probably find yourself wandering off into fantasies about him — and not the sort in which the guy gets kidnapped immediately after paying for dinner.
Groin Pains
I'm 21, and I've just gotten my first girlfriend, this amazing girl I've known since high school. I lost my virginity to her, and I've since started having sex dreams about my female friends. Two of these girls are recently single and have been hanging with me a lot and using me for a shoulder to cry on. I love my girlfriend, but the opportunity for stepping out, combined with my overactive libido, has me worried.
When you're a 21-year-old guy who has just discovered sex and is looking to remain faithful, loving someone deeply is a start. It also helps to pay someone to knock you unconscious and encase you in a block of ice. Welcome to the 20-something male libido. In other words, of course you're having sex dreams about your female friends. (You were expecting recurring thoughts about stenciling wall art in the front room?)
Life consists of tradeoffs. You can have a girlfriend or a sex buffet. Pick one. And be realistic. Your heart might belong to your girlfriend, but if other parts of you are raring to go all Dora the Explorer, you may need to have a bunch of sex friends before you're one woman's boyfriend. If you do choose love, be mindful about how easy it is to succumb to temptation. Keep yourself out of harm's way with some fidelity-promoting rules, like that you aren't allowed to be alone with lonely single women, except maybe those who'd have a hard time catching you because they are 90 and didn't get the motorized scooter that goes up to turbo.

Board-Certified Dermatologist
Education and Experience
Dr. Ross Campbell is board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology and has completed fellowship training in Mohs Surgery and Procedural Dermatology. He recently served on the board of the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery.
A magna cum laude graduate of The University of Georgia and the Medical College of Georgia, Dr. Campbell obtained a two-year fellowship grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to investigate melanoma immunotherapy at Emory University. With an ultimate goal of opening a skin cancer and aesthetic surgery specialty center, Dr. Campbell chose to complete a general and plastic surgery internship in Seattle, before performing his dermatology residency at Brown Medical School where he served as Chief Resident.
Although Mohs surgery can be performed by physicians without completing a fellowship, the pursuit of excellence in medical and surgical care led Dr. Campbell to spend an extra year of fellowship at one of the busiest and most acclaimed Mohs surgery and cosmetic dermatology practices in the country, under the directorship of Gary Monheit, M.D., and Chris Harmon, M.D. During his fellowship, which was a combined ACGME procedural dermatology fellowship, Dr. Campbell performed nearly 3,000 Mohs surgery cases and became an expert in aesthetic procedures such as blepharoplasty, hair transplantation, chemical peels, soft tissue fillers, dermabrasion, and Botox® Cosmetic.
Dr. Campbell has lectured nationally, instructing dermatologists and plastic surgeons on various aspects of dermatologic and aesthetic surgery. He has published in numerous dermatologic and cosmetic surgery journals and authored several book chapters on surgical and cosmetic procedures.
Dr. Campbell and his family — wife Leigh and two sons Aidan and Silas — moved to Athens in 2007 to open Georgia Skin Cancer and Aesthetic Dermatology and to be closer to other family members. Ross and Leigh both attended the University of Georgia and have a strong attachment to the region. Leigh is a medical illustrator and an accomplished equestrian event rider.
Fellowship-Trained Surgeon
Only fellows of the American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS) have completed an additional 1-2 years of fellowship training after completing the residency requirements of their specialty. This is to ensure that the surgeon is expertly trained in not only the removal of the tumor, but more importantly, the accurate evaluation of the pathology so that the patient and surgeon can both be assured that the skin cancer is completely removed. This training also includes extensive experience in reconstruction with members of other specialties such as plastic surgery, otolaryngology, and oculoplastic surgery.
The ACMS graduates approximately 70 Mohs surgeons per year and Dr. Campbell is the only fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon in Gainesville, Lake Oconee, and a full-time presence in Athens, Georgia. Dr. Campbell also completed an ACGME-accredited Procedural Dermatology fellowship and Melanoma Fellowship sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (N.I.H.).

Two Brookings residents were arrested Tuesday and charged with possession, manufacturing and delivery of a controlled substance – methamphetamine.
Julie C. Peterson, 37, and David R. Westbury, 35, were taken to the Curry County Jail, where they were lodged, Curry County Sheriff John Bishop said.
Bishop said the Brookings Police Department and the Curry County Sheriff's Office, with assistance from Del Norte County, served a narcotics search warrant at 15061 Highway 101 south, space No. 2 at 7:30 a.m.
During the search, several grams of methamphetamine were found and seized along with cash, the sheriff said.
Bishop said the investigation is continuing by all agencies involved.

To encourage residents to recycle more, the county is putting together a flyer that will include a collection calendar; items allowed in the can; what isn't allowed; where residents can bring non-recyclable items, such as electronic waste, hazardous waste and glass; and frequently asked questions.
"County-wide we're only collecting around 300 tons," Summit County Solid Waste Administrator Cliff Blonquist said at the Oct. 24 Summit County Council work session. "That's not a lot per month. That's why we want to send this flier out and remind folks about recycling and encourage it."
Councilmember Dave Ure pointed out that part of the decreased weight can be attributed to the relatively low weight of recyclable materials versus trash.
"Recyclable materials are not very heavy. It's a lot lighter than garbage, which has liquid," Ure said.
Blonquist agreed and added that the weight has decreased since they removed glass, which was 32 percent of the weight volume.
The county has contracted with Recycle Utah, located at 1951 Woodbine Way in Park City, for residents to drop-off glass, electronic waste and hazardous waste.
"So you do have a place if you don't want glass. It just won't be on your curbside," County Manager Bob Jasper said.
Jasper said he would like to see if Recycle Utah can provide other locations for residents to drop off recycle glass, such as Summit Park, Jeremy Ranch or Kimball Junction.
"I've had folks call me and say they are from Summit Park and it's a long drive to recycle their bottles," Jasper said. "People can throw glass in the trash, but it's not being recycled."
The county is also seeing 15 to 20 percent contamination in the recycle cans, which means residents are throwing non-recyclable trash into them.
"It's a high level of contamination. I hope we get it to the point where people are more disciplined," Blonquist said.
Blonquist estimated the recycling program is saving the county about $65,000 a month, with $400,000 savings projected by the end of the year. "That's significant," he said.

Gemologist quality loupe by Belomo with all metal housing and triplet glass optics for a bright, clear and close-up view of critical stylus parts especially diamond tip, cantilever tube and bushing. The Belomo loupe features an aplanatic and achromatic triple lens system (corrected for linear and color distortion). 10X and 21mm focal width for ease of use. This superlative quality loupe is made in Belarus by BELOMO, the acronym for Belarus Optiko Mechanichesckoye Obyedinenie (Belarus Optical & Mechanical Association). A joint venture with optics maker Zeiss was begun in 1995. The firm produces lenses and optical elements for microscopes and other optical equipment with ISO 9001 certification. The Belomo loupe is considered by some as one of the finest loupes available - comparable in quality and performance to such exalted names as Bausch & Lomb, Zeiss, Nikon, Kaya and Schneider.
How-to-use the LP Gear Stylus Inspector Loupe
A loupe is designed to be used in a well-lighted location. Bring the Stylus Inspector Loupe up to your eye as close as is comfortable against your eyelashes (or near your eyegalsses) but without touching your eye . Be sure to keep both eyes open. It is natural to want to close the other eye but eventually it leads to eye strain more quickly than keeping both eyes open. Keep the gem loupe stationary. Bring the stylus in to the loupe to focus.
Slowly move the stylus back and forth until it comes into focus and maximum clarity. Because the loupe has very strong magnification, the focal range or aperture is very narrow. Slightly move the stone back and forth and turn it around to get different areas of the stylus into focus for examination.
Please note: 10X is the standard for diamond and gemstone grading. We do no recommend higher than 10X magnification. It is difficult to focus. More importantly, it would require the user to bring the stylus very close to the lens and this could lead the end-user to accidentally hit and bend the cantilever.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Before his fourth game as Colorado's head football coach, Jon Embree had been intrigued by Saturday's rare trip into Big Ten country. The view from half a country away looked promising.
CU's venture was a scheduling anomaly made possible by opening at Hawai'i and being allowed to play a 13th game . . . with a nice, above-average ($1 million plus) payday promised. CU and Ohio State shared open dates in September and were willing to make this a one-day stand - with no return trip to Boulder for the Buckeyes in the foreseeable future.
This single shot had a sweet feel about it. If there ever was a time to spend a fall afternoon in "The Horseshoe" and believe a win was there to be plucked, Sept. 24, 2011 seemed to fit the profile.
Embree's Buffaloes were 1-2, but just as easily could have been 2-1 had a couple of plays in an overtime loss to Cal gone his way rather than Jeff Tedford's. And Embree was buoyed by the clock-chewing, fourth-quarter drive in a 28-14 win against rival Colorado State the previous Saturday, believing the Buffs might have discovered a layer of grit they might rely on in Ohio Stadium, a beast of a venue for visitors during good times in Columbus.
But these (allegedly) weren't good times. Ohio State was fresh off what should have been a confidence-eroding loss (24-6) at Miami (Fla.) and still was trying to unburden itself of the off-season scandal that cost the program its head coach, its starting quarterback and resulted in a multitude of suspensions.
There were enough quarterback issues in the loss at Miami for Buckeyes coach Luke Fickell to bench an ineffective fifth-year senior and present a true freshman with his first career start on Saturday. (Don't defensive coordinators usually salivate over such opportunities?)
It was all setting up so nicely for the Buffs . . . until the game started without them. Again. Just a month into his first season, Embree had hoped to use this game as a "measuring stick." It turned out to be a tough lesson administered with an ugly stick.
By halftime Saturday, after another horrendous first quarter, CU was behind 20-7. The four-game cumulative halftime score: 60-27 - with the Buffs on the low and lacking end.
"I don't know . . . I don't have a theory," senior safety Anthony Perkins, one of the defensive co-captains, said of the Buffs' glacial beginnings. "It's something that's been addressed, that we have to keep addressing. All I know is that we have to get it taken care of."
But creeping out of the gate wasn't CU's only shortcoming in the 37-17 loss. The running game generated just 76 yards, while the Buffs' defense allowed the Buckeyes 226 on the ground. The plan to bottle up freshman QB Braxton Miller, pressuring him into bad decisions in the passing game, didn't work. He ran 14 times for 83 yards in the first half, not really being forced to complete more than a couple of first-half passes (but one was for a TD).
Miller ran only three more times in the final two quarters, turning the running game over to tailbacks Jordan Hall (18 carries, 84 yards, 1 TD) and Carlos Hyde (6-40, 1 TD). Miller completed only three more passes, finishing a barely passable 5-of-13 for 83 yards (but with two scores).
All in all, his debut was more effective than flashy - but effective was what it took and the Buffs couldn't do much about it. CU linebacker Jon Major called Miller "a great athlete . . . he didn't surprise us at all" - which was more than he and his teammates could say with any degree of honesty after Hawai'i's Bryant Moniz surprisingly lit up CU with his legs in the opener. Now, the word is officially out: Running QBs present big problems for the Buffs.
Miller aside, the Buffs still will review this tape and trudge out of their meeting rooms with heads shaking. "Lots of mistakes . . . lots of self-inflicted wounds," Perkins said, already shaking his as he prepared to leave Columbus. "All we can do now is watch film and learn from the mistakes."
Compounding those self-inflicted wounds were those inflicted by the Buckeyes, who capitalized on a pair of lost Buffs fumbles (they had one turnover in their previous three games). Embree said tailback Rodney "Speedy" Stewart had a shoulder injury that pained him on almost every touch: "He hurt every time he gets hit . . . he still went out there and tried to play." And cornerback Parker Orms played early then was sidelined by either "a hamstring, calf or knee," Embree said, adding that another three unnamed players battled through their problems. (No word yet on anyone's availability for next Saturday's Pac-12 opener against Washington State.)
Can anyone pinpoint what ails CU's special teams? Will Oliver continues to hit his field goals (he's six-for-six in his first year). But there was another untimely out-of-bounds kickoff. Ohio State's Hall returned two CU kickoffs for 135 yards - including a 90-yarder to the Buffs' 5-yard line. A TD came one play later. CU's return game was barely visible. Darragh O'Neill punted six times, two of them rugby style kicks, and still averaged 38.5 yards, with a long punt of 51 yards.
On both of his rugby kicks, O'Neill said he saw an Ohio State player running downfield with his back to O'Neill - presenting what the CU punter believed was a target. "I thought I could tag him (with the ball) right there," O'Neill said, "especially on the first one."
And on his first punt, he did. The ball skittered into a Buckeyes player and appeared to be recoverable by the Buffs. But CU's Makiri Pugh apparently didn't see the ball make contact with the Ohio State player and backed away.
The Buckeyes covered it at the CU 43, and an afternoon of mostly bad field position for the Buffs was underway. O'Neill called that missed opportunity "definitely a play that could have turned the game around." Ohio State scored seven plays later, went up 7-0, built on that by halftime and was never caught.
Embree appeared more exasperated after this loss than the other pair. "Before the game," he said, "I felt like we'd improved . . . now I feel like we're back at square one." In trying to determine a reason for the step back, he said, "I don't know if it's a case of our guys trying to do too much . . . I want to continue to try and get as much as I can out of these guys and build."
The loss, he added, "doesn't make me feel any further away" from turning the program. "I'm pretty objective, pretty realistic. My staff realizes the hard work that's ahead. We've got Washington State coming in Saturday and we've got to find a way to get it fixed."
They've got six days, more than enough time - according to most Pac-12 observers - to get it all patched up, if not perfected, for Wazzu. The Buffs are a different team, sometimes a better team, at Folsom Field. But Embree's goal is to field a good team no matter where it lines up. Until Saturday in "The Shoe" he thought he was getting there.

Brenda Barrett has always been a fan-favorite character on "General Hospital." Vanessa Marcil originated the role in 1992 and has been back to Port Charles since officially leaving in 1998. Last year Marcil brought Brenda Barrett back for a short stint at the Nurses Ball where her engagement to Jasper Jacks went sour. Since then, fans have been hoping for a return. According to a May 12 report from Soap Central, Vanessa Marcil may be headed back to "General Hospital" once again. Rumors like this are always running, but recent references to the character have given fans more hope.
When Julian Jerome came to town, Sonny looked into who was funding the organization. As it turns out, Shawn found information leading back to Barrett enterprises. Brenda's sister Julia runs the company now, and was linked to Bill Eckert in the 90s. All of this leads fans to believe the Barretts may be returning to Port Charles sooner rather than later.
Fans have been stalking Vanessa Marcil's Twitter page, but nothing of substance has come out. She often retweets stuff pertaining to "General Hospital," but that is likely because she still has many friends on the show. Marcil has openly said she would love to return as Brenda Barrett as long as scheduling works. This is a huge relief to fans who are still hoping for a Sonny and Brenda reunion.
More than likely fans will be seeing Vanessa Marcil on "General Hospital" again. She has a role which is linked to a lot of the main characters, especially Sonny. If Jason returns, that may lead Brenda Barrett back to Port Charles. Rumors have been swirling about Jacks coming back as well, perhaps that will mean Brenda and Jacks will reconile? Whichever way the writers want to go, fans will happily get behind just to have Brenda back on the canvas.

PURPOSE: Neuroblastoma is a genetically heterogeneous pediatric tumor with a remarkably variable clinical behavior ranging from widely disseminated disease to spontaneous regression. In this study, we aimed for comprehensive genetic subgroup discovery and assessment of independent prognostic markers based on genome-wide aberrations detected by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Published CGH data from 231 primary untreated neuroblastomas were converted to a digitized format suitable for global data mining, subgroup discovery, and multivariate survival analyses. RESULTS: In contrast to previous reports, which included only a few genetic parameters, we present here for the first time a strategy that allows unbiased evaluation of all genetic imbalances detected by CGH. The presented approach firmly established the existence of three different clinicogenetic subgroups and indicated that chromosome 17 status and tumor stage were the only independent significant predictors for patient outcome. Important new findings were: (1) a normal chromosome 17 status as a delineator of a subgroup of presumed favorable-stage tumors with highly increased risk; (2) the recognition of a survivor signature conferring 100% 5-year survival for stage 1, 2, and 4S tumors presenting with whole chromosome 17 gain; and (3) the identification of 3p deletion as a hallmark of older age at diagnosis. CONCLUSION: We propose a new regression model for improved patient outcome prediction, incorporating tumor stage, chromosome 17, and amplification/deletion status. These findings may prove highly valuable with respect to more reliable risk assessment, evaluation of clinical results, and optimization of current treatment protocols.

Today begins Holy Week in the Eastern Orthodox Churches. Great Week marks the beginning of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ's Persecution, Passion, Crucifixion, and Resurrection.
Monday of Holy Week memorializes Joseph and the fig tree, which Jesus cursed and withered. The miracle of the fig tree revealed the tree's inability to bear fruit, although it could still grow its leaves. Jesus cursed the tree: "May no fruit ever come from you again!" (Matt. 21:19). Tonight begins with the Hymn of the Bridegroom: "Behold the Bridegroom comes in the midst of the night...beware, therefore, O my soul, lest thou be borne down in sleep...and lest thou be shut out from the Kingdom..."
For the Eastern Orthodox Christians, and Catholics, we walk the steps of our Lord Jesus through the days of Holy Week. Each day has its own purpose and significance, bringing us one-step closer to our Lord's death and resurrection, and ultimately Pascha or Easter. For instance, on Wednesday of Holy Week, we honor the anointing of Christ with myrrh by the woman in the house of Simon, the leper, in Bethany. The sacred ceremony of Holy Unction takes place on Wednesday evening.
During Holy Week, there should be heavy prayer and repentance, along with abstinence from inappropriate behaviors, including alcohol or drug consumption and sexual acts. It is crucial to remember what this week represents. Try not to get too angry or frustrated at your neighbor or brother. Lower your voices and refrain from obscenities or cursing. Instead, stay more reserved and be mindful of each day that passes.
Think about what our Lord went through during this time, leading up to His Passion and Death on Thursday and Friday. Then, allow your spirits to be lifted once we reach Saturday night service leading to His Resurrection, exclaiming that He is Risen!
Aside from the celebration of our Lord's Birth, the Paschal Season is one to respect and honor fully. If you are unable to attend all the church services, make efforts to watch the Passion of the Christ film, where you can have this Holy Week put in perspective. You will be surprised of the emotion that will be driven from you by this film. It truly awakens our hearts and minds to the true understanding of Holy Week and our Lord's Great Passion.
May God be with all of your during this week, nearing the end of our Lenten Journey. Ensure you are prayer and repenting as much as you can. Also, take time to thank our Lord for His great Sacrifices for us sinners. Be mindful of your behavior this week and God Bless.

Washington Capitals center Mikhail Grabovski remains unable to practice with the team due to visa issues that have delayed his arrival to training camp, the Washington Post reported Friday.
The newspaper earlier said Grabovski would be able to practice Sunday, but now reports he will meet with the team in Belleville, Ontario, on Saturday, when the Capitals play the Winnipeg Jets in the 2013 Kraft Hockeyville game.
Grabovski will remain in Toronto, and Monday has a meeting at the United States consulate.
Washington signed Grabovski to a one-year, $3 million contract last month and has him pegged as Mike Ribeiro's replacement as the center on the second line. The Toronto Maple Leafs bought out the final four years of Grabovski's contract in early July, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Grabovski had 16 points in 48 games for the Maple Leafs last season, but he was put into a checking role and clashed with coach Randy Carlyle. He had career highs in goals (29), assists (29) and points (58) with the Maple Leafs in 2010-11.
"I feel for him because obviously he wants to be here, he doesn't want to get off on the wrong foot, get some reps and see the guys," Oates told the Post. "A lot of people don't understand walking into a locker room is a tough thing, going to a new team is not an easy thing. You want to settle in and have as much time to do that as possible."
Forward Brooks Laich (left hip flexor) did not skate Friday and will not play against the Jets, the newspaper said.

3 Doors Down bassist Todd Harrell was found slumped over the steering wheel while in the middle of an intersection, giving cops concerns that he may be driving impaired. This would be a second DUI arrest for Harrell as the bassist is facing the charge vehicular homicide after clipping a truck in April, resulting in the driver dying.
Harrell was charged in April with being under the influence when he collided into the truck and sending it down a an embankment. This accident left the driver of the truck dead, according to CNN News on Feb 19. The case is still pending.
For last night's charge the police statement was released today saying that Harrell was found stopped in a D'lberville, Mississippi and slumped over the steering wheel. He was arrested, which makes this his second offense. The charges in the vehicular homicide case stem from an accident in Nashville, Tennessee.
Harrell is one of the founding members of 3 Doors Down. One of the groups more famous tunes is "Kryptonite" but it had quite a few hits like "When I'm Gone," and "Here without You." The group formed in 1994 out of Escatawpa, Mississippi. Before they were discovered at a music showcase in NYC, the band toured regionally.

Posted by Native NYker in anita baker, lately single, new music, r&b, radio city music hall on December 19, 2012
We have been waiting a good while for our childhood songstress Anita Baker to come out with some new tunes. For real y'all, we love her madly but at this point we can sing her tunes backwards. Okay, maybe that's a stretch, but y'all know what we mean – dammit. Lo and behold the rapturous wonder releases Lately single – available on ITunes
We must say that we were expecting a WHOLE new album – as in 8 to 10 new tracks – but we ain't going to bitch too heavily cuz its good to hear her smooth melodies once more.
Back in 07, we dutifully charged tix to her sold out post-Fourth of July concert at Radio City Music Hall and proceeded to wait on her exit after the show for some additional photos. (See more & hear track after the jump!) Read the rest of this entry »
George Michael: White Light Single On Horizon
Posted by Native NYker in amy winehouse, george michael, new music, white light on July 15, 2012
He's Back! Wham alum George Michael has released his new track White Light. And the chorus sings Hallelujah. The official release date isn't until July 17th but there are already a slew of remixes already floating around online and word is the single has been released to radio.
Give a listen to and find your own significance within Michael's lyrics which, for us, is clearly about his own dark days and surviving what seemed like a never-ending downward low point that culminated with the icon serving time in a London jail. Our own personal take on the songs message, which juxtaposes Michael and Amy Winehouse's untimely demise, is simply about his coming through it all and, as the song declares, he is still here.
We couldn't be happier for the 49 year old Greek turned Brit. And in fabulous retro fashion, Michael's video will feature the last of the super models – Kate Moss. Now we just need to work on getting him cleared to tour in the USA!

Madonna: Give Me All Your Love Single Leak
Posted by Native NYker in give me all your love, madge, madonna, new music on November 9, 2011
Madonna has a new single y'all. And its somehow hit the web-sphere. The single, titled "Give Me All Your Love", is presently being circulated online worldwide. Did you expect anything less? Silly you!
Unfortunately, it isn't something to yell from the roof tops. And there is no remix, as yet.
Critics have already referred to it as a throwback to her 80's sound.
We disagree entirely.
It's an attempt at regression is all. Because her debut album, all them years back, was (and still is) revolutionary.
This track is far from that. But we are sure a DJ somewhere will bootleg it right quick and the track will command the dance floor. No doubt!
Erykah Badu: Naked Window Seat
Posted by Native NYker in erykah badu, music video, window seat, youtube on March 30, 2010
Erykah Badu's new single "Window Seat" now has a video to go with her return to recording. The songstress has been MIA for sometime and we couldn't be happier with her return. Her voice is soothing to the ear.
But in true Badu fashion her video is a political protest – if a subtle one. And before y'all go off on some tangent about us thinnking her video is subtle – the answer is yes, we think it is subtle. We don't think nudity is anything to get riled up about! Get a grip.
Watch as Badu goes about her business on the streets of Brooklyn, NY quietly disrobing – paying it no never mind to her surroundings.
We here at RTnM LUV the tone and message. And the song is amazing.
Welcome back beauty. Don't stay away too long.
Sade: Soldier of Love Track
Posted by Native NYker in music video, new music, sade on January 11, 2010
There are few entertainers that I love. Sade tops this list. She is my Beatles. Full stop!
Her new CD "Soldier of Love" drops on February 9th – less than a month away, but the title track is out! I have all but forgotten how many years it's been since her last CD cuz she is as beautiful as ever and sounds A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! It's like no time has passed at all.
Pardon me a moment while I try to get my hyperventilating under control…
So now that I have my tears of joy somewhat under control – and have caught my breath a bit, I am overjoyed to share this video with y'all – I've watched it a dozen times already! Brilliant!
Welcome back Beauty Queen!

Sade: Soldier of Love
Posted by Native NYker in new music, sade, soldier of love on December 21, 2009
My buddy over at HitDanBack brought Sade's new CD "Soldier of Love" to my attention a bit ago and I am forever greatful! I LOVE THIS WOMAN. Stop. Breathe. Continue.
She has been my constant companion – from California to Paris to Rome, London to Barcelona and SoBe to the Carribean – always by my side, never left behind. Is It a Crime?
Of course I have been jonesing to post about the LONG awaited new material. For real, I one time spent hours trying to get someone at her label on the fone to ask about her wherebouts – unsuccessfully I might add. Did I mention how much I love her? Seriously, I was starting to think that the grey dull of life would never abate, leaving me the King of Sorrow.
And so having found my own pics from her last tour stop at MSG – YES, I did attend, I can now declare how much I love her and rave about her new CD which arrives on February 8, 2010! Just in time for Valentine's Day. I could pas out from this…
Now all I have to do is find someone to shag with to her new music!

Update: *"Suburgatory" and "Super Fun Night" have been canceled.*
On Friday, Spoiler TV reports that ABC's science fiction sitcom, 'The Neighbors' has been canceled. This comes after several reports by the source that the show continues to land on the danger zone in ratings. Below are other cancelations by the network, renewals, and what will be filling the empty slots.
"Trophy Wife" and "Mixology" have also been given the boot. Both were freshman comedies that never seem to have taken off. While the network has not officially sent out a statement, stars of the show have taken it to Twitter to break the news, TV Line reports.
In other ABC network news, Deadline reports that the comedy 'The Middle' has been renewed for Season 6. Also reported to be returning are "The Goldbergs" and "Modern Family," which have long been a hit.
To make up for the now empty time-slots, ABC has picked up "Marvel's Agent Carter," as well as renewed "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." According to the source, "Agent Carter" already has a prototype, it will be inspired by Marvel's One-Shot "Agent Carter." The series will star Hayley Atwell ('Captain America's Peggy Carter).
While it will be interesting to see what became of Peggy's life after losing Steve Rogers, I can't imagine this show being too interesting. I hope Marvel and ABC have something awesome planned out. Deadline describes the show as "It's 1946, and peace has dealt Peggy Carter a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad." Peggy will be balancing administrative work while doing secret missions for Howard Stark. Now that part might be cool, I do hope we get to see a lot of Tony Stark's father, Howard.
Other shows currently awaiting to hear if they will be canceled or renewed are: "Last Man Standing," "Nashville," "Suburgatory," and "Super Fun Night."

AMD is setting up to deliver a couple of new Athlon II X3 CPUs to the market. These will be the Athlon II X3 445 and 450. The 445 will have a clock of 3.1GHz while the 450 will be clocked at a rather nice 3.2GHz. The A II 450 could have a 45nm Rana core with 1.5MB of L2 Cache and a TDP envelope of 95 Watts.
The current top dog Athlon II x3 is sits at right around $90 so we can only hope that these two come in around there and make fitting companions for the 890GX motherboard and perhaps a nice HD5670 or 5830. We should see the new CPUs from AMD sometime next quarter.

Eat for Health: Fighting Cardiovascular Disease
This is an excerpt from Dr. Fuhrman's book Eat For Health.
The dietary recommendations contained in this book and the elements that make a diet cardio protective have been tested in multiple studies. The evidence here is overwhelming. Let's first look at the LDL cholesterol lowering effects of various dietary plans, as documented in published medical journal articles.
Eat for Health puts together many different qualities that make a diet cardio-protective and cholesterol-reducing. It's not just a low-fat or vegetarian way of eating that makes a diet ideal. This eating-style has such dramatic benefits because it is very high in mixed fibers and vegetables and has sterols and other compounds from beans and nuts. This is the only dietary intervention shown to lower cholesterol as effectively as cholesterol-lowering medications. Though the low-fat vegetarian diet did lower LDL cholesterol 16 percent, triglycerides were actually 18.7 percent higher and the LDL/HDL ratio remained unchanged. The results of the study that patterned the recommendations of Eat for Health differed in that the LDL cholesterol was more significantly lowered without unfavorable impact on HDL or triglycerides, reflecting sizable improvement in cardiac risk factors. I have hundreds of patients in my medical practice who have witnessed dramatic reductions in their blood lipids, especially LDL cholesterol, without drugs.
Keep in mind that cholesterol lowering does not adequately explain the protective effect of Eat for Health in cardiovascular disease since the diet has powerful anti-inflammatory and other beneficial biochemical effects. Even though drugs may lower cholesterol, they cannot be expected to offer the dramatic protection against cardiovascular events that nutritional excellence can. The aggressive use of cholesterol-lowering drugs does not prevent most heart attacks and strokes and does not decrease the risk of fatal strokes.7 That is, in clinical trials a significant percentage of patients on the best possible statin therapy still experience events; however, lowering cholesterol with nutritional excellence can be expected to offer dramatically more protection and disease reversal compared to drug therapy, without the risk or expense of prescription medication.

The legalization of marijuana is still so new that we have little information on it to really pull data on crime, life-quality, job growth, etc.. Yet Colorado still ranks high on the country's list of top places to live, healthiest states, and best places for entrepreneurs and start-ups.
While the growth of pot tourism in Colorado hasn't officially been measured, the notion of casually smoking marijuana is easily noticed for Colorado residents. Since the legalization of Marijuana, nearly every Colorado inhabitant knows of someone who flew into the outdoor-state just to experience legal purchasing.
As far as finding places to legally smoke for tourists, Vice News released an article on April 28 about an app called airTHC. The article says that the app was based off of the Airbnb principal. Except, that in addition to finding tourists a place to sleep that's also marijuana friendly, it also details information on concerts, dispensaries, restaurants and other social events. The app claims to "own Colorado marijuana tourism as a whole."
Two deaths have been reportedly linked to marijuana so far. And as city officials wait to gather more data on the effect that legalization has had on Colorado with regard to safety, health, crimes, productivity, economy, youth, etc. we know that Colorado remains at the center for controversial criticism. In fact, New Jersey governor Chris Christie has publicly stated his distaste for the legalization of marijuana in Colorado, saying that it is ultimately destroying Coloradans' "quality of life" and that "no tax revenue is worth that."
NJ.com responds to Christie by saying, "when you want to knock around a state like Colorado, Governor, don't go right at their strong suit [quality of life]. They have us on that one." NJ.com is referencing a well refuted article to Christie's criticism that was written by The Denver Post's Editorial Board. The Denver Post article mentions Colorado's vast population growth (4x that of Jersey's) and Colorado's scenery that turns most all tourists into Colorado residents.
As Colorado remains a top market for start-ups, especially in tech, only time will tell if marijuana will really have an effect on seeing entrepreneurs further prosper in this state. A fear does start to build though. With apps like airTHC coming into play to support Colorado marijuana tourism, what other Colorado entrepreneurs will take advantage of the opportunity to tap into this new niche market? And what does that look like in the long-term for the state as a whole? Looking to Holland as reference point (also rated high in happiness, tourism, tech designers and engineering), I think Colorado should be okay.

Organic and inorganic materials fascinate me due to their intrinsic design qualities, I've been scanning these subjects since 2002.
Traditional macro photography methods have no place in my process, I use desktop scanners and occasionally a supplemental light source.
This book includes my favorite object scans: bones, feathers, plant materials and metal shavings. I see something in all of them.
I've been in the industry working as a professional photographer since 1980. I now specialize in portraits and time-lapse narratives but in the past I photographed buildings, products and was the principal photographer on over 60 books.

Dear Barbara,
I read H.A's questions and comments on the Volvo timing belt replacement with great interest. I am one of the (now ex-)owners who experienced the premature and costly failure of the timing belt tensioner, not the belt itself. This was on my S-80, T6 engine, and of course happened on the freeway at 60 mph. The result was a totally ruined engine which I found was cheaper ($4500) to replace than to repair due to the cost of the valves and the 26 flat rate hours labor I was quoted to R&R the head on this car, not to mention any unseen additional problems which may have occured.
I have been told the five and six cylinder Volvo engines all use a similiar or same design for the tensioner. Mine was dry and had dirty, rusty surfaces where the bearings ran. I got no help or interest from Volvo Customer Service, and since this occurence I have spoken with two other six cylinder Volvo owners who have had similiar experiences.
I am wondering if there are enough of us out there who have had the premature failure of the timing belt and/or tensioner to force Volvo into a recall or a class action lawsuit to correct this problem. Your advice is right-on, as were H.A's observations, but please pass the word along to inspect the belt and the tensioner before the recommended replacement period, and always replace both parts at the same time, and this can happen to makes other than Volvo that use this design.
Dear Ande,
I do understand how frustrating these premature mechanical failures can be and the costly disasters that they create. The manufacturers seem to be so competitive with each other you think that they would bend over backwards more than they do to make customers happy. The internet is more than loaded up with forums and blogs from seemingly angry customers so maybe these internet writings will finally get some attention from the manufacturers. I do agree that there should be more factory recalls to fix these problems that seem to linger and never go away like a bad hair day.
I also agree with your new selection in vehicles regarding the Saturn Aura, but who's to say that you are not going to buy one in the future and then be disappointed with it because of some unexpected premature mechanical problem. You obviously were pretty happy with the Volvo brand if you owned and drove them for 45 years.
I am a huge Jeep nut, but I have definitely owned a few in the past that were not as up to par as they should have been, but I still buy and drive Jeeps making them my first vehicle of choice!
Occasionally we do come across lemons or duds in products that we buy and not just in vehicles but think of how many weed eaters, coffee makers and vacuum cleaners that we have bought that do not perform as well as others that we have purchased in the past. Wouldn't be great if it were a problem free world.
Thanks for writing in and I will pass your advice along regarding the timing belt tensioner in addition to the belt itself.
