Abstract: The Cochrane Review on water fluoridation for the prevention of dental caries was published in 2015 and attracted considerable interest and comment, especially in countries with extensive water fluoridation programmes. The Review had two objectives: (i) to evaluate the effects of water fluoridation (artificial or natural) on the prevention of dental caries, and (ii) to evaluate the effects of water fluoridation (artificial or natural) on dental fluorosis. The authors concluded, inter alia , that there was very little contemporary evidence, meeting the Review's inclusion criteria, that evaluated the effectiveness of water fluoridation for the prevention of dental caries. The purpose of this critique is to examine the conduct of the above Review, and to put it into context in the wider body of evidence regarding the effectiveness of water fluoridation. While the overall conclusion that water fluoridation is effective in caries prevention agrees with previous reviews, many important public health questions could not be answered by the Review because of the restrictive criteria used to judge adequacy of study design and risk of bias. The potential benefits of using wider criteria in order to achieve a fuller understanding of the effectiveness of water fluoridation are discussed. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Dental service provision by oral health therapists, dental hygienists and dental therapists in Australia: implications for workforce modelling Teusner, D.N.

Abstract: Objective: Dental service provision rates are necessary for workforce planning. This study estimates patient and service rates for oral health therapists (OHTs), dental hygienists (DHs) and dental therapists (DTs). To identify important variables for workforce modelling, variations in rates by practice characteristics were assessed. Design: A cross-sectional self-complete mailed questionnaire collected demographic and employment characteristics, and clinical activity on a self-selected typical day of practice. Setting: Private and public dental practices in Australia. Participants: Members of the two professional associations representing DHs, DTs and OHTs. Methods: For each practitioner type, means and adjusted rate ratios of patients per hour, services per visit and preventive services per visit were estimated. Comparisons by practice characteristics were assessed by negative binomial regression models. Results: Response rate was 60.6% (n=1,083), 90.9% were employed of which 86.3% were working in clinical practice and completed the service log. Mean services per patient visit provided by OHTs, DHs and DTs were 3.7, 3.5 and 3.3 and mean preventive services per patient were 2.1, 2.1 and 1.8 respectively. For all three groups, adjusting for explanatory variables, the rate of preventive services per patient varied significantly by practice type (general or specialist) and by the proportion of child patients treated. Conclusion: Services rates varied by age distribution of patients and type of practice. If these factors were anticipated to vary over-time, then workforce planning models should consider accounting for the potential impact on capacity to supply services by these dental workforce groups. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Factors associated with routine dental attendance among aboriginal Australians Amarasena, N.

Abstract: Objectives. To determine factors associated with routine dental attendance in Aboriginal Australians. Methods. Data of 271 Aboriginal adults residing in Australia's Northern Territory were used. Routine dental attendance was defined as last visiting a dentist less than one year ago or visiting a dentist for a check-up. Both bivariate and multivariable analytical techniques were used. Results. While 27% visited a dentist in the past year, 29% of these visited for a check-up. In bivariate analysis, being female, low psychological distress, and low clinical attachment loss (CAL) were associated with visiting a dentist within last year. Being aged younger than 39 years, male, no oral health impairment, being caries-free, low CAL, and low apolipoprotein B were associated with visiting for a check-up. Clinical attachment loss remained associated with visiting a dentist less than one year ago while being younger than 39 years and having no oral health impairment remained associated with usually visiting for a check-up in multivariable analysis. Conclusions. Younger age, [End Page 67] no oral health impairment, and low CAL were associated with routine dental attendance among Indigenous Australians. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z

Natalie MacMaster, five-time Canadian Country Music Association's Fiddler of the Year, is an icon in her country. The dazzling performer with blonde curls, baby face, flying fingers, and step-dancing feet is also an international phenomenon.
It all started in 1973 on the island of Cape Breton, with Natalie's birth into a famous family of Celtic musicians. Uncle Buddy MacMaster, Natalie's first teacher, was Canada's top fiddler. Cousin Ashlie MacIsaacs, another Uncle Buddy student, also made a name of his own. He and Natalie had fiddling duels - even taking on their mentor - at many a family gathering.
In her teens, Natalie MacMaster self-produced two cassettes, now collectors' items, FOUR ON THE FLOOR and ROAD TO THE ISLE. After winning the title Fiddler of the Year for the first time, she caught the attention of record producers. The result was her first Cd, FIT AS A FIDDLE, recorded at CBC Studios in 1993.
The young fiddling sensation began a touring career that earned her the title 'Busiest woman in the Canadian music business.' She has played everywhere from Antarctica to Hollywood, to the concert halls of Europe backed up by major world symphonies. Early in her career she turned down an offer to be a featured member of Lord of the Dance, in favor of developing her own performing environment. Her rapport with audiences is legendary. Reviewers use words like 'glorious' to describe her music, but her exuberant stage persona consistently astonishes. One reviewer said, 'Natalie Macmaster came onstage at a near gallop and the energy built from there.' Her feet never stop while she's playing - Natalie believes that music is for dancing. Fans buy tickets for her concerts anticipating SEEING her, as much as hearing.
TV is a natural medium for Natalie MacMaster's style. She won a 'Gemini' award (Canada's Emmy equivalent) and was selected for ABC's New Year's Eve broadcasts at the request of Peter Jennings. Other sorts of awards and accolades include two Junos (Canada's top music award), a Grammy nomination, and having two Cds on Billboard's Top 20 sellers in the World Music category.
What earns this dynamo the admiration of fans and critics alike is how she takes her fiddle into new musical realms while building upon her traditional Celtic roots. It's a fine line that has caused others to stumble, while Natalie MacMaster thrives. Her 1996 Cd NO BOUNDARIES delivers on its title, while 1998's MY ROOTS ARE SHOWING was as strictly Cape Breton 'ceilidh' as one could get. 1999 saw the release of BLUEPRINT, which includes an Irish accordionist, flamenco guitarists, and some bluegrass greats such as Bela Fleck, the incomparable banjo player, and vocalist Alison Krause, with whom Natalie performed a top single duet, 'In My Hands.' LIVE is a two-Cd package - one with Natalie's Celtic rock band complete with synthesizer, drums, and electric bass, while the other is pure acoustic Cape Breton again.
Ah, Cape Breton. Always, Cape Breton. She never strays far in spirit from her home. On the road constantly, composing, performing and opening for performers such as Santana, Paul Simon and Alison Krause, Natalie MacMaster aligns with other influences that her ever creative talents thrive upon, but Cape Breton is ever at her fingertips.

South Carolina Immigration Law Partly Blocked by U.S. Court
Enforcement of South Carolina's immigration law, scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, was partially blocked by a federal court at the request of the U.S. government.
U.S. District Judge Richard Mark Gergel said the Justice Department is likely to succeed in its challenge to three sections of the law, according to a filing today in court in Charleston, South Carolina.
"The Constitution of the U.S.A. and the Immigration and Nationality Act have placed the policy-making role regarding immigration in the hands of the national government," Gergel said in his order.
The measure criminalizes an immigrant's failure to carry a certificate of registration and requires police who suspect someone is in the U.S. unlawfully to verify the person's legal status. The federal government sued on Oct. 31, saying the law would impose "significant and counterproductive burdens" on the U.S.
"Alien registration is a field under the exclusive control of the federal government," Gergel wrote.
People Who Jaywalk
Allowing state law enforcement officers to conduct inquiries could lead to the arrests of people who jaywalk or have cars with burned-out tail-lights, Gergel said, which would "burden and disrupt federal immigration enforcement efforts" to find illegal immigrants with criminal profiles.
The state's attorney general, Alan Wilson, this month asked the judge to allow the law to take effect until the U.S. Supreme Court issues a ruling on Arizona's immigration law. "The two laws are nearly identical," Wilson said at the time.
"The United States Supreme Court will ultimately decide this matter in the coming year," Mark Plowden, a spokesman for Wilson, said today in an e-mail. "Until then, it appears that many important aspects of the S.C. law will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2012." He noted that only three of 20 sections of the law were blocked by the judge from taking effect.
A Justice Department spokeswoman, Xochitl Hinojosa, said the federal government is pleased with the order.
Gergel also said that enforcement of the state's law could "generate tensions with foreign nations and retaliation against American nationals abroad."
Alabama is also fighting a federal challenge to its immigration law. The state asked a U.S. appeals court in Atlanta to halt the case pending the Supreme Court's review of Arizona's law, which also requires local police to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect may be in the U.S. illegally.
The case is U.S. v. State of South Carolina, 11-2958, U.S. District Court, District of South Carolina (Charleston).

It Ain't Rocket Science, but Sock-Making Comes Close
The Best of Them Cost $25, Last Forever and Don't Smell Like Feet
NORTHFIELD, Vt.—Designing the world's best sock takes more than just sweat.
Just ask Ric Cabot, a third-generation mill owner from here, who says he is out to sew "the world's most uncompromising outdoor performance sock." His Darn Tough Vermont line, a merino wool item, has 1,441 stitches per square inch, which he believes to be a record. The result, he says, is unique form-fitting softness.
"It's what I call the math of the sock," Mr. Cabot adds. "Before me, nobody was talking about stitches per inch."
Darn Tough socks can withstand 30,000 "rubs" from a machine—seven times more than the next-best brand, and will hold up for life, he says. He tests his claims by wearing Darn Toughs for three weeks at a time without a single wash, simulating the beating a pair can take from potential fungus buildup or the unrelenting sweat of a long hike.
He does have competitors.
The race to knit the ultimate high-performance sock is advancing at a blistering pace. A decade ago, fewer than 10 companies made socks designed to reduce bunions, blisters and bad smells. Now more than 100 companies—mostly in the U.S.—are competing to get a foot in the door of the lucrative market for $25-a-pair socks.
They are investing millions of dollars to keep the feet of hikers, skiers, runners and other active Americans safe and dry. A pair of feet has 250,000 sweat glands and can produce "moisture," as the industry calls it, of up to 30 gallons a year.
So these high-end sock makers are battling over the respective merits of merino wool and synthetic blends, creating ventilation slots to release heat and adding "wicking rings" to push away moisture from the foot.
Many are unafraid to step on the toes of rivals—or point out holes in others' designs.
"The all-wool sock? That's been done and done and done. That was the same technology we had in the Civil War," says Kris Dahlgren, president of Dahlgren Footwear Inc., of West Linn, Ore., a company her parents founded in 1978. Dahlgren socks are made with a technology that reduces foot sweat by 40%, she says, using a wool blend that includes fiber from the hairs of the Peruvian alpaca and the company's patented absorption zones with "wicking rings" that transfer sweat from the foot through the ankle. "The fibers we're using are more expensive, more premium. It's like cashmere," Ms. Dahlgren says.
Her claims have their detractors.
Socks like Dahlgren's, using synthetic materials or other blends, merely trap the heat inside the shoe and are akin to "wearing a plastic bag," says Peter Duke, chief executive of Point6, which is named for 98.6 degrees, as in body temperature. His Steamboat Springs, Colo., company uses an antimicrobial wool to wick away sweat.
Joshua Stacy, who hikes about 2,500 miles a year, says his Darn Tough socks bunched up, got wet, and gave him toe and heel blisters because they didn't fit him snugly. Now he swears by socks from Fits Sock Co. that feature a small toe cup and deep-heel pocket and slide easily onto his feet, he says.
Martin Criminale's merino wool socks made by SmartWool LLC, of Steamboat Springs, Colo., rubbed him the wrong way when his feet shriveled up into "little raisins" on long weekend runs in the rainy climate of Seattle. Now the 49-year-old is raving about the eight pairs of socks he owns from Teko LLC, in Boulder, Colo., which is trying to sock it to competitors with an organic wool from Argentina and seamless toes meant to aid comfort. SmartWool stands by its socks. "Our 100% SmartWool guarantee applies to everything we make," says Mark Satkiewicz, SmartWool's president.
Mr. Criminale, an information technology specialist at the University of Washington, likes his Tekos so much he reserves them for special occasions. "I usually save them for my longer runs or wetter runs," he says, adding he can wear them for three days straight without any problems.
Too many Americans have an overstuffed sock drawer, filled with cheaply made products that fall apart and must be replaced several times a year, argues Thomas Lee, a co-founder of Goodhew Socks, based in Chattanooga, Tenn., which asks potential customers to "Trust our Thread Architects," the company's sock designers.
"There's a backlash afoot over the disposability of consumer products, which Americans have taken for granted for 30 years," says Mr. Lee.
Developing high-end performance socks isn't a walk in the park. Fox River Mills Inc. of Osage, Iowa, has six research and development employees who slide prototype socks onto a knee-high mannequin leg with pressure sensors installed that measure whether the fit is too tight. "Everybody has to put their best foot forward to show why we're better than everyone else," says Mike Tyer, Fox River's marketing director.
At Cabot Hosiery Mills Inc., which makes Darn Tough, creating a new sock can take up to 18 months and require hundreds of prototypes, says Mr. Cabot. Two research-and-development people work year-round at the company's mill, a one-story facility about the size of a suburban supermarket nestled in a valley in Vermont's Green Mountains. They seek to find the best balance of yarn weight, stitch patterns, nylon color and at least 10 other variables.
Inside, cones of brightly colored merino wool dangle from the ceiling above knitting machines.
Up to 12 colors of bright merino wool yarn are pulled from cones dangling from the ceiling into the teal-colored machines' high-speed knitting needles. Employees patrol the eight rows of machines, checking socks by hand.
The mill produces up to 100,000 pairs of socks a week; they retail for $14 to $30 a pair. "Our goal is for each Darn Tough sock to leave here with just one hole in them," says Mr. Cabot.
Wearing a Darn Tough prototype for three straight weeks without a wash, "they basically smell like you've just grabbed them off the rack," says Mr. Cabot, pointing to a multicolored ankle sock he was testing on a recent day.
Liz Thomas, a 27-year-old professional hiker, says she used to have to replace her socks every 10 days. She says she logged about 2,000 miles last year in 12 pairs of Darn Tough socks and didn't have to replace any of them.
The socks do a good job of repelling "trail grime," the combination of mud, sweat, dirt and pine needles that can cling to a sock, she says. "I'm not sure what's going on at a microbial level, but from the sniffer test, I can say it's working," she says.

New York City F.C. are bound to take on a handful of Manchester City youth players in their inaugural season. Is Kelechi Iheanacho one of them?
According to AfricanFootball.com, sources close to "a top Manchester City official" say the U-20 Nigerian international is an NYCFC loan target.
"Kelechi's profile has shot up since what he achieved in pre-season in the United States of America," African Football reports. "As a result of this, many other clubs are keen to have him and Manchester City are expected to soon decide where he will go to on loan.
While NYCFC are a leading candidate, several other teams are in the running for his services — including an option in Belgium.
Iheanacho, 17, will turn 18 in October. He was the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup MVP while representing Nigeria, earning the Silver Boot as the second highest goalscorer and the Golden Ball as the best player of the tournament. He was awarded the CAF Most Promising Talent of the Year award for his accomplishments and is considered one of the next great emerging African talents.
Iheanacho has also scored three times during City's tour of the United States, raising his domestic profile. That success has forced City to keep him with the club despite being called up by his country for the coming AYC qualifier against Lesotho.
"Kelechi was to have been released by Manchester City at least a week before the match, but the club's recruitment officer has called us back to say they have plans for him and so he will no longer be available," Flying Eagles coach Manu Garba told AfricanFootball.com
This is the second Manchester City youth player connected to NYCFC in recent months. Fellow Right to Dream Academy product Godsway Donoh has also drawn MLS interest.
12 Comments on "Report: NYCFC target Manchester City youth player Kelechi Iheanacho"
I really hope he comes over, I think he'll be great in MLS
Just proof that NYCFC plan on being the premier club in NYC and America. Take notes, New Jersey Energy Drinks.
It's proof you're a farm team and New York's 2 American clubs are better choices for fans.
Sorry James, made the mistake of not signing into my actual account. That was an imposter that made the previous comment
james you're a fucking idiot with with your farm club bullshit. **** off ******.
Guess some people can't take the truth.
It should be a fantastic signing up for NYCFC !!! After some old players, finally a young……….

Vanessa Vs. The World: How Does The Former Mrs. Bryant Stack Up Against His Alleged Mistresses
Kobe's been doing dirt, but is he upgrading?
Since Kobe's been with Vanessa he's been linked with a couple of extramarital home wreckers. While dirty dogging is bad, dirty dogging without improving the tail is a cardinal sin. So let's see if Kobe's alleged side pieces are comparable to his real, former thing.
Katelyn Faber – She's the first one we'd heard about. Not much is known about her and we don't have many pics, but from all accounts baby girl was mega busted. What were you thinking, Kobe?!
Carla DiBello – Here's Kimmy K's best friend that has been allegedly attached to Bean for the last few months. She's a looker with education and ambition. She's definitely a go-getter who produces for the Karashian reality show and everything. So she's got that going for her. But looks? You be the judge. More pics coming and there's still another mistress to go!

But here's the problem: she looks kind of like Vanessa! Why ruin your family and money on some woman that looks so much like your wife? Weird. Anyway, more pics!
Vanessa Bryant – And here's V herself. She was always fine as hell and someone Kobe dirty dogged for a long time. Let's see how she stacks up with the previous pics.

Klee surprised, excited about turn with DucksSeptember 29th, 2008, 3:05 pm by Curtis Zupke, Staff writer
This isn't the first time Ken Klee has had to pack his bags and move to another city. But for a 13-year NHL veteran, getting traded two weeks before the season starts was a new one.
Klee (right) donned Ducks gear for the first time Monday after he arrived in Southern California on Sunday night from his home in Atlanta. He said the abrupt move was somewhat of a shock for him and his family. His three sons were set up in school and with their youth hockey teams but the family will eventually have to find a new home in Orange County.
Klee is hoping to do the same.Read the rest of this entry »

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA Trade Release
U.S. Department of Labor
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Office of Communications
Washington, D.C.
For Immediate Release
OSHA Trade Release
Monday, September 8, 2003
Contact: Frank Meilinger, (202) 693-1999
Administrator Tells Participant Conference
WASHINGTON -- A new line up of program initiatives will greatly expand the benefits of the Voluntary Protection Program, protecting the safety and health of thousands more workers across the nation, Assistant Secretary of Labor John L. Henshaw told attendees of the Voluntary Protection Programs Participant's Association (VPPPA) conference today at the association's 19th annual meeting in Washington, D.C.
"Expanding VPP allows us to reach out to more employers across the country, wherever they are on the ladder of safety and health excellence," said Henshaw. "These new initiatives will add to our existing portfolio of VPP programs, greatly multiply program participation, and markedly improve workplace safety and health across this country."
The three new VPP initiatives will not affect OSHA's current VPP program, including the STAR and Merit levels of recognition. "We will hold true to the rock-solid principles that underlie the VPP program. These will not be diluted," added Henshaw.
VPP Challenge will be a flexible program designed to reach and assist companies who are willing to make a commitment to excellence, but need assistance in developing effective safety and health management systems. VPP Challenge will be an ideal vehicle for increasing small business participation in VPP by providing more focus and support for small business owners to implement VPP principles in their facilities. Employers will be given incentives, including recognition, for incremental improvements in their management systems.
VPP Corporate will streamline the application review and onsite evaluation processes for corporations that have made a commitment to VPP. The initiative will focus on eliminating redundancy in the application requirements for sites from the same corporation. The initiative will also require participating corporations to provide mentoring and outreach to other corporations.
The VPP Construction initiative will be designed to meet the unique characteristics and needs of the construction industry. The initiative aims to provide the mobile construction workforce and short term projects with the same opportunity for recognition that fixed site employers receive. OSHA intends to develop and launch VPP Construction next year.
VPP is OSHA's premier cooperative program. VPP worksites save millions each year because their injury and illness rates are more than 50 percent below the averages for their industries. In the VPP, management, labor, and OSHA establish cooperative relationships at workplaces that have implemented a comprehensive safety and health management systems. Approval into VPP is OSHA's official recognition of the outstanding efforts of employers and employees who have achieved exemplary occupational safety and health programs.
OSHA is dedicated to assuring worker safety and health. Safety and health add value to business, the workplace and life. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.

Next week Parliament will get to vote on the Animal Welfare Bill. There is a free vote on whether to ban tail docking. To be honest, I haven't read around this subject yet (I will do on my train journey down to Westminster) but I'm up to be persuaded either way. On the one hand, I think I've voted to ban enough things and activities this year. On the other, chopping of a dogs tail does seem a brutal act. What are your views?
14 thoughts on "Free vote"
Hi Tom
Firstly, great site, I have bookmarked it because I like what you do here.
Re. tail docking – I always used to be 100% against it, so when we got a boxer dog we didn't have its tail removed.
He's recently died so we are looking at getting another – but this time I'll be having the tail removed.
The problem is that their tails really hurt your legs when they get excited, and if you are unfortunate enough to be a small child you get cracked in the face causing injury. The tails dont seem to have flesh on them, just skin and bone – it hurts I can tell you!!
If there's a case for banning anything, perhaps its approaching its strongest in respect of unnecessary cruelty to animals that can't answer back. As I understand it, the case for docking is that it makes it widens the scope of habitats where people can flush birds to shoot them for sport. One form of cruelty requires another?
Are you going to quota your commitment to moral goodness? Where there's a free vote, you have no obligation to your party so consider your obligation to man's best friend.
From what I understand it's done to working dogs so they dont get injured. Dont know if it's nessasary for domestic animals. I too, think too much has been banned this last 12 months, most of it too dificult to police.
I think there are worse things going on in the country/world we could do before worrying about animals tales.
Your comment regarding "banning too much" is interesting.
If you moved to restrict a practice because it was wrong then surely it was right to make that move. Only if you voted to ban a practice that had no reason to be restricted would you ban oo much.
What are you doing banning stuff for the sake of it?
In this case, there is no need to dock an animals tail. It is done for vanity and is cruel. Banning it will not be "too much", it will be the right thing to do.
Now this couldn't possibly be a barking distraction from that other Bill due to be considered for second reading this week? Have you read what Labour Party members think, Tom?
Go to http://www.compassonline.org.uk/news_comments.asp?n=83
When I was a Hackney councillor, I had to close a secondary school (Hackney Downs). The then ruling Labour Group wanted to open a new mixed comprehensive to meet parent demand. But a Tory SoS for Education vetoed our application. No prizes for guessing why I do not and could not ever support such powers being granted writ large to any SoS.
Peter Kenyon in a personal capacity
'm', very interesting juxtaposition in your use of the word tales (I am sure that this literary tool has a specific name).
I am convinced to this day that my 'O' level English teacher thought that I was on the road to becoming the next Ted Hughes when I used the phrase 'soul survivor' to describe the last soldier standing after a particularly gruesome battle…….little did she know that I simply couldn't spell.
Miss Lawson if you're out there…….
Tail docking is brutal and totally unnecessary. It should be banned completely – except after injury or disease and a vet believes it necessary.
If the Royal Veterinary College and the British Veterinary Association are all against tail docking, surely you should listen to the professionals and use your vote to help ban tail docking.
A dog's tail is one of its primary tools of communication. An exemption for working dogs on non-medical grounds is not justified. You'd hardly vote for people's tongues to be cut off pre-emptively on the off-chance that they might lose them in an industrial accident in the future.
I always understood tail docking to be more of a cosmetic consideration, and it is certainly much rarer now than it used to be amongst domestic breeds. There seems to be no reason to do it other than the aesthetic – and whilst humans have free choice to mutilate themselves if they so wish, I don't think anyone has the right to make that choice for an animal just because they think it looks better.
I'm not sure exactly what the amendments say, but my opinion would be that a vet should only dock a tail if s/he believes that to be in the best interests of the animal.
I'm totally opposed for cosmetic reasons, but that is, with respect, something for the Kennel Club to address, not parliament.
Respect to Peter Kenyon for bringing up the more important vote going on in the Commons tomorrow – a shame the subject of education hasn't been picked up on more in the comments – not the subject of this thread I understand, but whether to discuss the docking of a dogs tail or a whole change in our education system…
There are no reasons execpt the vanity of the owners to dock tails.
It used to be part of breed standard in the kennel club, but it is now removed….but if you looked at crufts when it was on I saw many dogs with docked tails. Also the breeds where docking tails is very very common I saw no dogs entered into the shows with full tails.
Picked up late on this one – Tom I hope you did the right thing and voted for the ban.
Have to echo the other comment about applying a quota on your 'moral goodness' – if it right it's right.
Sad to see a few 'there are more important things' comments.

I couldn't agree more. Slaying the Penguins would not only be his most impressive playoff accomplish to date, but perhaps elevate his confidence to that next level needed in the postseason. We'll soon find out.

Ron's pal
If Buzz were conspiracy-minded, here's one we could peddle with the Kennedy assassination freaks: Lee Alcorn's opposition to the Trinity River plan is all a scam, a setup he arranged with Mayor Ron Kirk to actually sell the project. A touch paranoid, you say? Well, how else to explain Alcorn's painful-to-watch appearance last week before the City Council?
The Dallas NAACP chief says he opposes the Trinity River project's collection of levees, parks, and lakes because it's designed to benefit wealthy developers. Not that he offers any facts to support his views--as was painfully evident at the April 22 meeting, when Alcorn and a small band of followers staged a walk-out because Kirk denied Alcorn the privilege of shouting over Councilman Larry Duncan.
But as time was running out for Kirk to sell Dallas on the $246 million bond issue, Alcorn's sputterings, transparently staged for the TV cameras, undoubtedly pushed a herd of those still undecided right off the fence. If Kirk has enemies like this, who needs friends?
Asked whether Alcorn's actions at the meeting had discredited his cause, Kirk said, "To say that his actions today discredited him would be to imply that he had credit at one time."

The Wu-Ron Clan
When it comes to vitriol, Mayor Ron could take a few pages from Alcorn's book. Otherwise, he should spare us all a lot of embarrassment by not trying to sound streetwise. Last week, in an attempt to diss Ann Albers, a white environmentalist opposed to the Trinity River project, the mayor allegedly blurted out, "You're pimping for the black men." It could have been an incendiary remark, but no one in the small crowd standing around Albers could figure out what it meant. A few days later, Kirk called foes of the river issue a bunch of "ragtag environmentalists." Maybe he meant ragtag environmentalists pimping for the black men. Hmmm. The madder he gets, the more he sounds like hip-hop George Bush.
Body snatched
All of those undecideds on the Trinity project are in some pretty good, if surprising, company. Even council candidate and former Dallas Observer columnist Laura Miller is among them.
Laura Miller. Big city project. No opinion.
Take us now, Lord. We've heard everything.
Miller told the The Dallas Morning News this week that she did feel strongly about chasing roaming chickens out of Oak Cliff, but that she still hadn't made up her mind about the Trinity.
There are two possible sinister explanations for her reticence. 1) She's learned the politician's wisdom that it's best not to express unnecessary opinions on divisive issues; or 2) She fell asleep one day next to a big green pod and was replaced by an alien.
Frankly, we hope it's the latter.

I've been listening to quite some stuff lately, going through the best rated albums of 2012 on Sputnikmusic and heard a couple I'm really digging I never heard last year, though it's mostly indie/rock/metal
Godspeed You! Black Emperor- 'Allelujah! Don't Bent! Ascend!
Japandroids- Celebration Rock
Passion Pit- Gossamer
Katatonia- Dead End Kings
Enslaved RIITIIR
Swans- The Seer

Right now, since I'm doing some hi-res audio experimentation, I decided to expand my Jazz horizon with a couple of albums from HD tracks:
Musically, they are all of course great in their own way and I much enjoy them, but the recent Dave Brubeck - Time Out one seems to have a lot of pop and crackle for a HD (re?)master. Can anybody confirm that with this particular edition? Haven't had any particular issue with 24/88.2 audio so far... And since the pop & crackle is all over place stereo-wise it does seem to be part of the recording. I don't mind vinyl/analog-style pop & crackle ...if I'm listening to vinyl.
Not entirely sure about this being the correct thread but didn't want to start a new one just to check this.

I haven't listened to this in a little while. Once I put it on, I can't imagine why I haven't. It's really and truly up there with his very best, and that's saying something for an artist with a track record like his.
Thanks MT, I actually listened to the Enslaved and Katatonia records after checking some of the top lists on Let's talk metal, not disappointed one bit
I am trying so hard to hunt down the Analogue Productions 45rpm cut of Waltz for Debby mastered by Gray and Hoffman. Can't find one anywhere.
MT, please share your findings if fortunate.
I actually bought them both on vinyl (and picked up Gojira's 2012 release tonight). All good.
Hope I can share them some day. I have the regular RIverside LP right now, but according to the DR Database the SH 45rpm cut is ever so slightly more dynamic...and a recording this good is worth seeking the absolute best.

On Tap Today: Remembering Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters
Howlin' Wolf died in 1976, Muddy Waters in 1983, but there are musicians still around today who played with the blues legends, who are keeping their music alive today. Musicians like Jody Williams, a guitarist who played with Wolf, and Bob Margolin, Waters' guitarist for seven years, and Grammy winner James Cotton, who played with both Wolf and Waters.
Those three musicians, as well as the Fabulous Thunderbirds and multi-instrumentalist Tinsley Ellis, come together for a special Wolf and Waters tribute show, "Blues at the Crossroads II." The show begins at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Potawatomi Bingo Casino's Northern Lights Theater.

Forward Theater captures life's humor, sadness in 'Prophet'
Madison — In the program for Forward Theater's moving new production of Stephen Karam's "Sons of the Prophet," director Jennifer Uphoff Gray skips the customary director's notes while offering two quotes from Chekhov, suggesting that because suffering is unavoidable and attempts to make sense of it are probably doomed, we need each other more than ever.
Like Chekhov, Karam clearly understands that sad as all this can be, the human condition also makes for great comedy, of that serious rather than guffawing sort that honors the humor baked into our inevitably flawed efforts to reach out and touch someone in his or her — and our — moments of pain. »Read Full Article

Veterans Day and Kurt Vonnegut
Veterans Day is also the birthday of the late American infantryman and former prisoner of war Kurt Vonnegut. In "Breakfast of Champions" he expressed strong feelings about the change, in 1954, of the name and purpose of this memorial date from Armistice Day to Veterans Day:
"When I was a boy... all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. »Read Full Blog Post

A slight giggle escaped my lips and everybody turned towards me and Cecil. I smiled and sat next to him and Pikachu released a small shock towards the Haunter playfully. Lulu was starting at Dewott and she had a weird smile on her face. Dewott was throwing his Schalop up and down catching it everytime it was in reach. I once again looked at Cecil then looked at the ground kinda sad that he forgot my name but at the same time happy he sorta remembered me. I finally looked at Cecil and decided to try and make a joke out of it.
"Yep that's my name.. Don't wear it out because when i'm out of this school you're going to see me on TV being called the number one trainer" I said and softly punched his arm. I hoped he wasn't one of those fragile people who get hurt by the slightest hit.
Zora Loa:
I looked around the weird beach and had my Mudkip on my arm. I had my Zorua on my shoulder and Snorunt is inside of his Pokeball. I heard my stomach growl and quickly walked towards the Cafeteria and smiled. I entered it just in time to see a trainers Oshawott evolve into a Dewott. Her eyes widened in awe but she couldn't help but laugh a little but when she heard a trainer with a Haunter blurt something weird out. I quickly went to get lunch for me and my Pokemon and sat down alone at a table. I let Snorunt out of it's pokeball.
"Alright guys you did great today. Let's eat" I said softly and sweetly and started eating. Zorua, Snorunt and Mudkip stated eating quickly and smiled. I chuckled lightly at my Pokemon and slowly ran my fingers through Zorua's fur.

Oracle now ships LibreOffice with its Linux. The irony in that fact is truly priceless. Via +Charles-H. Schulz https://oss.oracle.com/ol6/docs/RELEASE-NOTES-U3-en.html
10 comments
Honestly there's little or no value for oracle in openoffice, the acquisition was realistically all about java, and perhaps mysql. So it's probably of little consequence.
Perhaps, but i would say more likely about what their lawyers saw as an IP trolling opportunity, which is thankfully seeming to fall flat on it's face
Peter Jakobs
trust me, it was Scott who knew he had to sell and thought his buddy Larry would be a better match for his company than IBM and Larry saw a chance to outdo IBM. That's all that was to it. Big boys games.
To think such disruptive wasteful legal fallout was precipitated by egomaniac johnson measuring drivers is terrifying!
Even if added by upstream release, they could still remove it in favor of OpenOffice. Oh well, more userbase, right?
Blind Copy paste.
Perhaps RedHat shout ship with a package named Oracle-guys-have-tiny-dicks.rpm just to check if it makes it to Oracle linux distro.

I agree. That is just copy and paste of the RHEL packages to provide their precious "unbreakable" linux.

FERRISBURGH — Denecker Chevrolet co-owner Tom Denecker said last week his pending $350,000 purchase of land owned by Ferrisburgh at the intersection of Routes 7 and 22A is going well, and he also confirmed he has a prospective purchaser or tenant for the 14 North Main St., Vergennes, branch of his existing dealership.
And the Vergennes Development Review Board on Dec. 30 approved an application for a proposed new business in what is now primarily Denecker Chevrolet's service and parts branch: Neil's Family Market, a grocery store.

MIDDLEBURY — More than 110 people showed up at a Jan. 15 open house at Middlebury's municipal building and gym at 94 Main St., an event aimed at showcasing deficiencies within those two structures while explaining a proposal to erect new town offices and a new recreation center.
ADDISON COUNTY — "Group singing, for those who have done it, is the most exhilarating and transformative of all," wrote Stacy Horn of Time magazine in a piece this past summer on how singing can change a person's brain.
If you ask the Middlebury Union High School chorus and the Maiden Vermont women's barbershop singing group they'll tell you that, boy, is she ever right.
MIDDLEBURY — Alice Eckles and Ross Conrad were living in a traditional apartment in Weybridge when they bought 25 acres in Middlebury with a plan of building a cordwoodhome. Soon after purchasing the land, the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico took place and the couple talked about how they could step away from being part of the fossil-fuel-guzzling world while their permanent home is being built.
MIDDLEBURY — Fishing is a sport that typically conjures images of hot, sunny days, shorts and a wide-brim hat, clear streams or a quiet canoe and a calm lake.
But for some, the hobby that many of us leave to warm weather lives strong throughout the cooler months of the year.
MIDDLEBURY — The annual meeting of the Green Mountain Club Bread Loaf Section will be held on Saturday, Jan. 25, in the Fellowship Hall of the Congregational Church in Middlebury. At the meeting, Chris Bouchard will present a program and slideshow titled "Tornado Alley." Bouchard is a meteorologist with over seven years' experience forecasting Vermont's temperamental weather.
MIDDLEBURY — Social entrepreneurs are transforming and improving education while colleges and universities are fostering social entrepreneurship. What impact is this trend having on the economy and the challenges we face as a society? And what does it mean for today's students now and when they graduate?
When we talk about health and well-being, many tend to narrow their gaze to fitness, diet and exercise. While those are certainly important elements of the theme, other activities, hobbies, and projects can also be great measures of general health and happiness, aiding in a more complete and balanced measure of wellness.
The first glimpse of a substantive proposal to finance Vermont's planned universal health care system came Thursday at a sparsely attended meeting of the Senate Republican Caucus.
The caucus invited Sen. Peter Galbraith, D-Windham, to speak about his proposal, laid out in two separate bills, S.252 and S.254, to pay for Green Mountain Care, the public entity that will administer the state's single-payer system.
VERGENNES — After listening to the second overflow crowd in the Vergennes Union High School library in six days, the VUHS board on Monday adopted a roughly $9.73 million spending proposal for the 2014-2015 school year that, including an extra $50,000 to start a capital improvement fund, would boost spending by about 3 percent.

Can TIME Magazine Predict Your Politics?
See how your preferences in dogs, Internet browsers, and 10 other items predict your partisan leanings.
In the following interactive, we put together 12 questions that have a statistical correlation to a person's political leanings, even if the questions themselves are seemingly apolitical. At the end of this (completely anonymous) quiz, we'll use your responses to guess your politics.
Take The Quiz Here: Personality Quiz: Can TIME Guess Your Politics?
By the Way, your editor scored: You're 85% conservative, 15% liberal. And yes, I use Firefox or Tor as my internet browser. I also prefer Dogs much more than Cats.
Update: Jan. 10, 2014, 11:00 a.m.: It works! Our analysis of 17,000 responses from readers who chose to report their actual ideology found a strong correlation (r=0.604, for those of you keeping score) between a person's self-reported ideology and the output of the quiz. This is a particularly strong correlation given the wide degree of personal variation in taste that is intrinsic to this sort of research.
The biggest weakness we discovered is that the results from our survey were less distributed across the spectrum than the figures for people's self-reported ideologies. A person who reported themselves as "very liberal" or "very conservative" tended to receive scores that were artificially close to the center. As of this update, the quiz now employs a basic statistical correction to more accurately reflect the extremity of one's politics. The "direction" of the results—whether you're more conservative or more liberal—is unchanged.

The Raptors have had 3 full days off since that loss to the Pacers, and I couldn't think of a better game than against our Atlantic rivals. Full disclosure: I've been a Knicks fan since Ewing, McDaniels, Smith, Starks, and Oakley were running rampant. Epic games they… Read more »

Lockheed Martin Corp. is laying off 4,000 workers, including 1,050 in Newtown, Bucks County, as the nation's largest defense contractor consolidates operations in response to reduced government spending.
By mid-2015, Lockheed will shutter the Newtown plant, which designs and develops commercial and military satellites, including weather satellites and ones for NASA.
Lockheed Martin, based in Bethesda, Md., also announced plans Thursday to close plants in Akron, Ohio; Goodyear, Ariz.; and Horizon City, Texas, and to shut down four buildings on its Sunnyvale, Calif., campus.
The work now done at the Newtown plant, where some satellite components are manufactured, will be moved to Denver.
