The ultimate aim of the subject area of gerodontology is to improve the quality of life and oral health of older people. Gerodontology fills the particular place of serving this subject area. The boundaries of most conventional dental specialities must be repeatedly crossed to provide optimal dental care for older people. Furthermore, management of other health problems impacts on their dental care and clinicians need knowledge in these numerous overlapping areas. Bringing together these diverse topics within one journal serves clinicians who have not time to scan many journals and it serves authors whose papers would therefore fail to access their target readership. The juxtaposition of papers from different specialities but sharing this patient-centred interest provides a synergy that serves progress in the subject of gerodontology.
Please read the instructions below carefully for details on the submission of manuscripts, the journal's requirements and standards as well as information concerning the procedure after a manuscript has been accepted for publication in Gerodontology. Authors are encouraged to visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/author.asp for further information on the preparation and submission of articles and figures.
Gerodontology adheres strictly to international standards on the ethical conduct for research involving human organs and tissues, (http://www.who.int/ethics/research/en/). Authors of papers involving research (including case reports) on human or animal participants must state in the Methods section of the paper that the protocol of the study has been approved by the ethical review board of the university or other institution at which the study was conducted (please see http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/publicationethics.asp#_Toc149460099 for more details).
Clinical Trials should be reported using the CONSORT guidelines available at www.consort-statement.org. A CONSORT checklist and flowchart should also be included in the submission material. Clinical trials can be registered in any free, public clinical trials registry such as http://www.clinicaltrials.gov or http://isrctn.org/. A list of further registries is available at http://www.who.int/ictrp/network/primary/en/. All manuscripts reporting results from a clinical trial must indicate that the trial was fully registered at a readily accessible website. The clinical trial registration number and name of the trial register will be published with the paper.
Animal Studies: When experimental animals are used, the methods section must clearly indicate that adequate measures were taken to minimize pain or discomfort. Experiments should be carried out in accordance with the Guidelines laid down by the National Institute of Health (NIH) in the USA in respect of the care and use of animals for experimental procedures or with the European Communities Council Directive of 24 November 1986 (86/609/EEC) and in accordance with local laws and regulations.
A submitted paper is considered also on condition that it has not been published elsewhere or is offered simultaneously elsewhere. All of the authors must confirm that they have read and approved the content of the paper, and they must declare all competing interests.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically via the online submission site http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/gerodontology. The use of an online submission and peer review site enables immediate distribution of manuscripts and consequentially speeds up the review process. It also allows authors to track the status of their own manuscripts. Complete instructions for submitting a paper is available online and below. Further assistance can be obtained from the Editorial Office at email@example.com.

Prior to acceptance there is no requirement to inform an Editorial Office that you intend to publish your paper OnlineOpen if you do not wish to. All OnlineOpen articles are treated in the same way as any other article. They go through the journal's standard peer-review process and will be accepted or rejected based on their own merit.
4.1. Format
Authorship and Acknowledgements: Gerodontology adheres to the definition of authorship set up by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). According to the ICMJE criteria, authorship should be based on (1) substantial contributions to conception and design of, or acquisition of data or analysis and interpretation of data, (2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content and (3) final approval of the version to be published. Authors should meet conditions 1, 2 and 3. Contributors who have made substantive contributions but who do not qualify as authors should be mentioned under Acknowledgements. The letter of submission to the editor must identify the contributions made by each author to the three conditions, and state that each author approves of the submission.
Language: The language of publication is English. Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited by an English speaking person before submission to make sure the English is of high quality. Please refer to English Language Editing Services offered by Wiley at http://wileyeditingservices.com/en/. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication
Font: Manuscripts must be typed double-spaced.
Abbreviations, Symbols and Nomenclature: The symbol % is to be used for percent, h for hour, min for minute, and s for second. In vitro and in vivo are to be italicized. Use only standard abbreviations. Units used must conform to the Système International d'Unités (SI). All units will be metric. Use no roman numerals in the text. In decimals, a decimal point and not a comma will be used. For tooth notation the two digit system of FDI must be used (see Int. Dent. J. 21, 104). Avoid abbreviations in the title. The full term for which an abbreviation stands should precede its first use in the text unless it is a standard unit of measurement. In cases of doubt, the spelling orthodoxy of Webster's Third New International Dictionary will be adhered to.
Scientific Names: Proper names of bacteria should be binomial and should be singly underlined in the typescript. The full proper name (e. g. Streptococcus sanguis) must be given upon first mention. The generic name may be abbreviated thereafter with the first letter of the genus (e. g. S. sanguis). If abbreviation of the generic name could cause confusion, the full name should be used. If the vernacular form of a genus name (e. g. streptococci) is used, the first letter of the vernacular name is not capitalized and the name is not underlined. Use of two letters of the genus (e. g. Ps .for Peptostreptococcus) is incorrect, even though it might avoid ambiguity. With regard to drugs, generic names should be used instead of proprietary names. If a proprietary name is used, ® must be attached when the term is first used.
The term "elders" or "older people" should be used rather than "elderly' when using the word as a noun. The word "elderly" is an adjective used correctly as "elderly group," whereas "elders" is a noun used correctly as in a "group of elders." Refer to the "patients" or "subjects" who participated in the study - or who consented to the use of their health records in your research - as "participants." This more appropriately acknowledges the role they had in your research.
4.2. Structure
Original Articles submitted to Gerodontology should include: Title Page, Abstract, Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, References, and Acknowledgements, Tables, Figures and Figure Legends were appropriate.
Title Page: should contain the title of the article, name(s) of the author(s), initials, and institutional affiliation(s), a running title not to exceed 40 letters and spaces, and the name and complete mailing and email address of the author responsible for correspondence. The author must list 4 keywords for indexing purposes.
Abstract: A separate structured abstract should not exceed 250 words. The abstract should consist of 1) the objective 2) the background data discussing the present status of the field 3) materials and methods 4) results 5) conclusion.
Introduction: Summarize the rationale and purpose of the study, giving only strictly pertinent references. Do not review existing literature extensively.
Material and Methods: Materials and methods should be presented in sufficient detail to allow confirmation of the observations. Published methods should be referenced and discussed only briefly, unless modifications have been made.
Results: Present your results in a logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustrations. Do not repeat in the text all of the data in the tables and illustrations. Important observations should be emphasized.
Discussion: Summarize the findings without repeating in detail the data given in the Results section. Relate your observations to other relevant studies and point out the implications of the findings and their limitations. Cite other relevant studies.
Conclusion: Conclude the findings in brief. If authors cannot conclude with any punch line, the referee will question who would want to read the paper and why.
Acknowledgements: Acknowledge only persons who have made substantive contributions to the study. Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission from everyone acknowledged by name because readers may infer their endorsement of the data and conclusions. Sources of financial support may be acknowledged.
Reviews: Gerodontology welcomes review and scoping papers. Systematic reviews with or without meta-analyses should adhere to the PRISMA guidelines, and a PRISMA checklist. The Methods must include the inclusion and exclusion criteria along with the reproducible electronic search strategy and a flow chart accounting for the selection and rejection of papers.
Research in Brief and Short Case Reports: These should include the aims and objectives of the work reported, methods used, findings, and the implications for the practise, management or education of the older adult and further research. Research in brief submissions should be no more than 1000 words in length, with a clear and concise title and no more than five subheadings. These may take the format of a mini paper. A maximum of 10 references may be included but these must be clearly related to the work reported. A limited number of figures and tables can be included but they must be essential to the understanding of the research or the clinical case.
Case Reports: These should include the report with relevant background and investigations, diagnosis, treatment, procedures and results. Discussion of interesting points and relevance to the introductory references. Concluding comment about significance of the case. Case Reports should have no more than 1500 words, Abstract of 75 words or less, one table or two illustrations or diagrams, and five references.
4.3. References
References should be numbered consecutively in the text according to the Vancouver reference style, in the order in which they appear in the text, and should be kept to a minimum. Only references cited in the Text, Tables and Figures may be included. References should include the first and last page numbers. Identify references in the Text as square bracketed Arabic numerals separated by commas, e.g. [1, 5, 8], or as the first and last reference only in a continuous sequence, e.g. [1-5]. The bracketed numerals appear before a comma or full stop. References to Tables and Figure within the Text are made also with Arabic numerals, e.g. (Table 1; Fig. 1). For abbreviations of journal names, consult http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/journals. Manuscripts accepted but not published may be cited in the reference list by placing 'in press'' after the abbreviated title of the journal - all such references should be submitted to the Editor for approval. References must be verified by the author(s) against the original documents.
We recommend the use of a tool such as Reference Manager for reference management and formatting. Reference Manager reference styles can be searched for here: www.refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp

4.4. Tables, Figures, Figure Legends and Photographs.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Type each table on a separate sheet, with titles making them self explanatory. Due regard should be given to the proportions of the printed page.
For instructions, see Gerodontology Guide to Tables and Figures
Figures: At the Editor's discretion clinical photographs, photomicrographs, line drawings and graphs will be published as figures. All figures should clarify the text and their number should be kept to a minimum. Details must be large enough to retain their clarity after reduction in size. Illustrations should preferably fill a single column width (54 mm) after reduction, although in some cases 113 mm (double column) and 171 mm (full page) widths will be accepted. Micrographs should be designed to be reproduced without reduction, and they should be dressed directly on the micrograph with a linear size scale, arrows, and other designators as needed. The inclusion of colour illustrations is at the discretion of the Editor. The author may pay for the cost of additional colour illustrations.
Preparation of Electronic Figures for Publication: Although low quality images are adequate for review purposes, print publication requires high quality images to prevent the final product being blurred or fuzzy. Submit EPS (lineart) or TIFF (halftone/photographs) files only. MS PowerPoint and Word Graphics are unsuitable for printed pictures. Do not use pixel-oriented programmes. Scans (TIFF only) should have a resolution of 300 dpi (halftone) or 600 to 1200 dpi (line drawings) in relation to the reproduction size (see below). EPS files should be saved with fonts embedded (and with a TIFF preview if possible).
For scanned images, the scanning resolution (at final image size) should be as follows to ensure good reproduction: lineart: >600 dpi; half-tones (including gel photographs): >300 dpi; figures containing both halftone and line images: >600 dpi.
Further information can be obtained at Wiley-Blackwell's guidelines for figures: http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp.
Check your electronic artwork before submitting it: http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/eachecklist.asp
Permissions: If all or parts of previously published illustrations are used, permission must be obtained from the copyright holder concerned. It is the author's responsibility to obtain these in writing and provide copies to the Publishers.
Figure Legends: Figure legends must be typed double-spaced on a separate page at the end of the manuscript.
Photographs of People: Gerodontology follows current HIPAA guidelines for the protection of patient/subject privacy. If an individual pictured in a digital image or photograph can be identified, his or her permission is required to publish the image. The corresponding author may submit a letter signed by the patient authorizing Gerodontology to publish the image/photo. Or, a form provided by Gerodontology (available by clicking the "Instructions and Forms" link in Manuscript Central) may be downloaded for your use. This approval must be received by the Editorial Office prior to final acceptance of the manuscript for publication. Otherwise, the image/photo must be altered such that the individual cannot be identified (black bars over eyes, etc).
4.5 Submission of a revision
When uploading a revision, please take care to respond to the concerns raised by the Reviewers. Please upload a copy of the revised document which shows easily what changes have been made to the original. This could include using red font or highlighting. However, please note that you should NOT use Track Changes. The revised manuscript should be uploaded with the file designation 'Main Document'.
The online submission form will prompt you to respond to the Reviewers' comments in writing. Please provide as far as possible, a clear, point by point response to the comments of each Reviewer in which you describe for each of the points raised exactly how you have dealt with them. Please complete the online submission form and upload your response as a separate manuscript file, using the designation 'Supplementary File for Review'.
5.1 Proof Corrections
The corresponding author will receive an email alert containing a link to a web site. A working email address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document format) file from this site.
Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following Web site: www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html . This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen, and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Hard copy proofs will be posted if no e-mail address is available; in your absence, please arrange for a colleague to access your e-mail to retrieve the proofs. Proofs must be returned to the Production Editor within three days of receipt.
As changes to proofs are costly, we ask that you only correct typesetting errors. Excessive changes made by the author in the proofs, excluding typesetting errors, will be charged separately. Other than in exceptional circumstances, all illustrations are retained by the publisher. Please note that the author is responsible for all statements made in his work, including changes made by the copy editor.
5.2 Early Online Publication Prior to Print
Gerodontology is covered by Wiley-Blackwell's Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.
5.3 Online Production Tracking
Online production tracking is available for your article through Blackwell's Author Services. Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/ for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
5.4 Author Material Archive Policy
Please note that unless specifically requested, Wiley-Blackwell will dispose of all hardcopy or electronic material submitted two months after publication.
Copyright Transfer Agreement
If your paper is accepted, the author identified as the formal corresponding author for the paper will receive an email prompting them to login into Author Services; where via the Wiley Author Licensing Service (WALS) they will be able to complete the license agreement on behalf of all authors on the paper. A copy of the license agreement is available here.

Puppet Labs MCollective 1.0 Now Available
"Our partners bring users the operating system, Amazon EC2 and OpenStack, as well as traditional hosted and in-house servers give users a platform to run that operating system, and Puppet with MCollective1.0 gives them ease of use and adds a layer of functionality that greatly improve the productivity of both the platform and the user." Luke Kanies
Today Puppet Labs, creator of Puppet, announced the release of the Marionette Collective (MCollective) version 1.0. MCollective 1.0 acts as a command-line interface (CLI) to Puppet Master, the central coordination servers in a Puppet deployment and is now available for download.
"MCollective is very active with Puppet and in the Puppet Community and it just made sense to incorporate it, MCollective, into Puppet," said Luke Kanies, Creator and CEO of Puppet, in a interview with Linux Pro Magazine. He says, "The added benefit that MCollective with Puppet brings to both the operating systems running on various platforms, public or private Clouds, as well as traditional hosted or in-house server services being offered by our partners, is that Puppet with MCollective improves IT productivity." Kanies continues, "Sys admins will be able to manage more machines with less time."
Kanies says that MCollective improves how Puppet works with managing applications on existing systems, and real-time discovery capabilities enhance the Puppet Dashboard. "MCollective simplifies how users schedule complex sequences of activities using data available from the Puppet platform," he says.
Kanies says that he was motivated to create Puppet because of his past experience as a sys admin. "I found that the tools I was using to administer over 150 nodes across 30 data centers weren't good," he says, adding, "Now we are seeing large-scale deployments of Puppet that include one company administering 40-50,000 Puppet Nodes at one time, to other companies running anywhere from 3,500 to 10,000 Puppet nodes at a time." According to Kanies, MCollective has only been offered from Puppet Labs since October, and in that time the largest MCollctive with Puppet deployment has been 1,500 Nodes.
For readers who want to see this new release in action, Puppet Labs offers videos to introduce MCollective, Puppet with MCollective on EC2, and more. More information on MCollective 1.0, Puppet, and Puppet Labs can be found on the website.

The first "Guard" that was introduced into mixed martial arts (or "no holds barred fighting", or "vale tudo," or "cage fighting") was the Gracie family from Brazil. Specifically, Royce Gracie, winner of the first UFC events.
Since then there has been countless "changes of the guard," some obviously more significant than others.
The "Changing of the Guard" is a mostly symbolic act.
Not simply when one champion passes the torch to the next, a "guard" represents the fighters that came before them.
The Guard changes when a newer fighter comes to take their place on the mantle.
These are the 25 greatest fights that illustrate and represent a changing of the guard.

2008 Buick Lucerne Sedan CXL 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
A little baffled by some of the poor reviews I have seen. I'm 24 and have been driving this car for 2 years now, and I enjoyit. It's spacious, comfortable, quiet, and powerful enough. Never noticed any major handling issues other than the large turn radius, and sometimes it can be difficult to park in large spots. Also there seem to be a few blind spots that can get you in trouble if you're not cautious. The interior isn't as fancy/elegant as I would expect, but it's not bad, and I like how the exterior looks. The trunk is pretty huge, and there is plenty of room for my 6'5'' frame (something I've had problems with in other cars like the Malibu and Impala). MPG's are pretty low, however.
The standard engine power is okay, but a little more would be better. The handling characteristics are better than expected, although the suspension could be a bit tighter.
this Sep 4 2010 this car has been back to dealer for oil changes only. It's a little big for my taste for then the others were too small
comfort and speed
Please oh please make the speedometer easier to read. In daylight you can hardly see your speed
I have owned many cars from many makes but my 2008 Lucerne is the best car that I have ever owned. It rides better than any car in its price range. The handling is great for such a large car. No it does not handle like a German car but does not ride like crap over potholes either. No problems at all. The 3800 engine and automatic are among the high quality from any make. I hope to drive this car for the next 20 years.
everything, just love driving it.
more power
20+ years of faithful GM ownership. Purchased the 2008 Lucerne brand new, thought I couldn't go wrong. Let's see..... thermostat problems, took 2 attempts to fix that. The trunk that leaked in the rain and to top that the dealer's service center couldn't get to it for a week (smell that, would ya?). Then there's the gas cap that just fell off. Wish I paid closer attention to the poor turning ability and less to the cushy seats. Great economy but such poor acceleration, I am hesitant to make any sort of assertive move for fear the car will be left behind! I will never pay $35K for such a vehicle again!
It has the subtle elegance I like in a car. Smooth interstate ride.

Reporter Rachel Dubrovin shows us how the Palouse Skatepark Association is raising money to fund the project.
Palouse resident Aaron Flansburg has found a unique way to combine two of his passions. That's pizza...
"Seven years ago my wife and I went to Italy," said Palouse Skatepark Association Director Aaron Flansburg. "I was inspired to make awesome pizza after that trip."
And skateboarding.
"It's just a really good activity to keep kids busy," said Flansburg.
Flansburg and a team of volunteers spent Sunday night cooking up more than 50 pizzas to deliver to friends in exchange for donations.
"It's been our easiest and best fundraiser to date," said Flansburg.
They're raising money to build a skatepark in town, something that Flansburg has been trying to do for about ten years.
"Basically it just took someone, in this case it was me, to say, 'We're going to get this done and we're going to make it happen,' said Flansburg. "This has been almost like a second job for me. Now that I've got little kids of my own and I live in Palouse, we're making a hard drive to get this done within the next year or two."
Flansburg has plenty of support from his community.
"There's a handful of us that are adults I guess that love skateboarding still and try to improve it and support the scene and the kids here," said volunteer Mike Kammeyer.
"It'd be really nice because skating out here is kind of hard on just the roads and it'd be nice to have some smooth places to skate," said volunteer Eddie O'Neill.
And in November he received approval from the city council to build it near the city park.
"My hope is that we can break ground on it this summer," said Flansburg. "And I don't believe that it's all going to happen at once. I think it's going to be a phased development. But I'm hoping within the next three or four year to be completely done with this."
Pizza for the Park is just one way Flansburg raises money for the project but it's certainly the most delicious.
"None of this is public money going to build this park," said Flansburg. "This is all on us, this is our project. And I believe Palouse is going to take ownership of this project because of that."
The Palouse Skatepark Association raised almost $1,000 through the "Pizza For The Park" event Sunday night. Their goal is to have $30,000 by the time they break ground, and they've already raised more than $20,000.

Family Says Kubiak Is Feeling Better
Source: Adam Schefter, ESPN
Those in touch with Gary Kubiak's family said Monday morning that the Houston Texans coach is "feeling good" after he collapsed at halftime of his team's game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night.
Kubiak, who has been at a Houston hospital since Sunday night, was treated with an IV medicine -- tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) -- designed to break up blood clots, per medical sources.
Doctors are conducting tests Monday to determine whether he could have suffered a stroke.

Job numbers head in 'wrong direction'
Both sectors see drop, more give up job hunt
Wisconsin lost private-sector jobs in June for the third time in four months as the burst of hiring earlier in the year fizzled into a grindingly slow and jobless recovery.
"We are headed in the wrong direction," said David Ward, president of Madison-based North Star Economics Inc.
According to data released Thursday by the state Department of Workforce Development, private employers shed 1,000 positions in June on a seasonally adjusted basis. Sectors as diverse as manufacturing, information and financial services, and arts and entertainment all showed declines.
At a time when federal stimulus programs were meant to offset at least some of the weakness with government jobs, Wisconsin's public sector also shifted into reverse.
Employment at all levels of government that operate in Wisconsin - local, state and federal - lost thousands of jobs in June. Federal agencies lost the greatest number - 3,600 - a decline that coincides with the expiration of short-term canvassing work for the 2010 census. Earlier this year, hiring for the once-a-decade census temporarily brightened the employment picture, but those jobs last only six to eight weeks and have no benefits.
"There is no good news in these numbers," said John Heywood, an economics professor who specializes in labor relations at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The state's unemployment rate, which is based on a separate telephone survey of households, declined to a seasonally adjusted 7.9% from 8.2% in May.
At first glance, that appears to be a positive trend. However, economists concurred that the decline amounts to another reminder of hard times. June saw 13,600 discouraged Wisconsinites give up looking for work, which removes them from the civilian labor force and means they vanish from the statistics. As the number of unemployed shrinks as a share of the labor force, the unemployment rate artificially falls, economists said.
"We should not take any encouragement," Heywood said. "This is what we economists call the growth of discouraged workers. It's the people who have just stopped looking."
When measured over the past 12 months, the number of discouraged workers in Wisconsin shot up to 60,400, none of whom the government tallied as unemployed.
Throughout the recession and the current recovery, trends in payroll employment have decoupled from trends in the unemployment rate, creating a recurring anomaly as the economy continues to shed jobs but the unemployment rate continues to fall.
"The decline in the unemployment rate is not the result of job growth," said Charles McMillion, head of the MBG Information Services forecasting firm in Washington, D.C., who studied the June data for Wisconsin at the request of the Journal Sentinel.
Measured against December, the state managed to add 25,000 jobs, although nearly all of those stemmed from the first quarter when President Obama's $819 billion package of stimulus spending created more traction.
"Now the stimulus is running out and local governments are getting hit," Ward said.
The economic stall in recent months will add fuel to a debate raging in Washington as well as political capitals all over the world. Governments of the largest economies, which uniformly chose to prop up demand last year with stimulus programs, now fret about ballooning debts and deficits. In Washington, conservatives have rebuffed Obama's calls for additional government spending. Congress continues to debate whether to pay for an extension of unemployment benefits, with stiff opposition from lawmakers who don't want to add to the red ink.
"The discussion is not 'do you stimulate' or 'don't you stimulate', " Ward said. "It will come down to how you stimulate."
The administration of Gov. Jim Doyle issued a positive interpretation of the data, noting that "June was the third straight month that saw a drop in the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate."
"We continue to see signs of a slow, steady recovery in Wisconsin, with tens of thousands of jobs added in 2010 and our unemployment rate continuing to move in the right direction," Department of Workforce Development secretary Roberta Gassman said in a statement.

Try a Little Tenderness
Today is the day when contracts are tendered to players on MLB Reserve Lists who are unsigned for 2009.
Any player who is "non-tendered" today immediately becomes an unrestricted free-agent, and is free to sign a major league or minor league contract with any MLB club, including the club that non-tendered the player.
There are two types of unsigned players, so-called "arbitation-eligibles" (players who have accrued at least three years of MLB service time but less than six years, plus a handful of players who have between two and three years of MLB ST who qualify for arbitration as a "Super Two") and so-called "auto-renewals" (players who do not yet qualify for salary arbitration, so that the club can automatically renew the player's contract if an agreement cannot be reached by the first week of March).
"Auto-Renewal" players are almost always tendered contracts. The MLB minimum salary in 2009 will be $400K (up from $390K), and players must be offered at least the MLB minimum salary, and the salary offered must be no less than 80% of the player's 2008 salary. .
The only time you might see a club non-tender an "auto-renewal" is if the player was injured in winter ball (injured players can't be outrighted after 11/20 or prior to 16 days prior to the start of the next season), or if the player's roster slot is needed to add a free-agent who signs sometime just prior to 12/12, or to clear a roster slot to make room for a player acquired in a trade during the Winter Meetings.
Since the Cubs roster presently stands at 37, there is no reason not to tender contracts to the Cubs 20 auto-renewal guys.
Aribtration-eligible players are a completely different matter, however. A club cannot automatically renew the contract of an arbitration-eligible player. If the player and the club cannot agree on a salary, the player and the club submit a number, and a three-person arbitration panel picks one of the two figures. Since youi never know what the arbitrators are going to do (they base everything on statistics, comparing the player to what other players with similar stats & service time are paid), clubs tend to view a hearing as a "crap shoot," and most GMs usually do not want to take a chance of losing in arbitration.
Jim Hendry has a history of tendering arbitration-eligible players, but he has never gone to arbitration with a player. The normal outcome is that the Cubs and the player will find a middle-ground between the player's request and the club's offer, and so thus a hearing is avoided. Hendry is always more than willing to offer performance bonuses to increase the value of a deal if the player feels the base salary is too low. .
Arbitration-eligible players cannot be offered a base salary that is less than 80% of the player's previous year's salary, or less than 70% of the player's salary from two seasons ago (but if the player is non-tendered and then is re-signed, the maximum pay cut does NOT apply). So to know the minimum a player can get, you have to know the salary of each arbitration-eligible player from each of the last two seasons .
The Cubs have six players eligible for salary arbitration (2008 salary in parenthesis):
Ronny Cedeno ($407K)
Neal Cotts ($800K)
Chad Gaudin ($1.775M)
Kevin Gregg ($2.5M)
Reed Johnson ($2.07M - combined TOR and CUBS)
Michael Wuertz ($860K)
Reed Johnson made $2.17M in 2008 (a $870K severance when he was released by Toronto at the end of Spring Training and then a $1.3M salary from the Cubs), but he was paid $3.075M in 2007. Therefore, if Johnson is tendered, he cannot be paid less than 70% of his 2007 salary ($2.07M). So if he is tendered (and he almost certainly will be), I would think the Cubs will offer somewhere around the minimum-allowable $2.1M and Johnson will request something like $3M, with the player and club settling for around $2.5M And if the Cubs do settle with Johson prior to a hearing, the deal could be maybe $2.25M with up to $500K in incentives related to games played & plate appearances.
Gregg was a closer for much of 2008 so he should get a bump because of his save numbers. Therefore, the biggest disparity among Cubs aribtration-eligibles will probably be with Kevin Gregg,.The Cubs will likely offer Gregg about $3.5M, and Gregg will probably want about $5.5M, with the player and club perhaps agreeing to a $4.5M pre-hearing figure, although if the Cubs and Gregg do agree prior to getting to arbitration, it will probably involve the Cubs offering a lower base salary ($3.75M) but with maybe $1.5M in incentives related to appearances and games finished.
Chad Gaudin would probably get a bump up to at least $2.5M if his case were to make it to arbitration, but I would think the Cubs would not want to pay him anywhere near that much (guaranteed). I would bet the Cubs would prefer to offer Gaudin a relatively low base salary (about $1.5M, something close to the maximum allowable 20% cut) plus maybe another $1M in incentives based on appearances and/or games started (should he be moved to the starting rotation at some point). Since it is not clear if Gaudin would accept such a deal, he could get non-tendered, but with the Cubs hoping to re-sign him for less money after he becomes a free-agent (and good luck with that).
Cedeno, Wuertz, and Cotts are fairly simple to estimate. Whether it goes to arbitration or is settled prior to that, Cedeno will likely get around $750K, and Wuertz and Cotts will probably end up with something like $1.25M, with Wuertz and Cotts both likely to receive up to $250K in incentives.
Auto-renewal and aribtration-eligible players do not get guaranteed contracts, so they can get released during Spring Training.(as happened with Reed Johnson when he was with the Blue Jays last year) A player who is released at least 16 days prior to Opening Day receives 1/6 of his 2009 salary (potential incentives not included) as severance, and if a player is released prior to Opening Day but less than 16 days prior to the start of the season, the player gets 1/4 of his salary as severance (potential incentives not included). So even if they are tendered, any or all of the Cubs six arbitration eligible players could get released during Spring Training and the Cubs could save some 2009 payroll that way (should that become necessary or if that is desirable).
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Nice title, AZ Phil.
Chad Guadin's name is funny in the post there.
Taveras and Saito are the 'big names' rumored to not be tendered according to the various links compiled at mlbtraderumors. Taveras (I am probably spelling that wrong) is a pretty simliar player to Johnson. Trade a little speed and defense for a little hitting skill. Since his batting average is supported so much by bunts and infield hits, I doubt he'd take much of a hit if any if you move him out of Coors.
I think if Guadin wants more than $2.5 million, let him walk.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
tav has lingering leg issues keeping him from being trade bait this winter...no takers even out of those who kicked the tires on him in trade talks.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
I believe there was a Tim Redding for Tavares deal that just got nixed because Taveres didn't pass the physical...
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Where does Jake Peavy fit into all of this?
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
It looks like the Jake Peavy talks are dead.
Apparently we are going to revisit the Brian Roberts talks.
Then maybe work on trading Sammy Sosa

with no Peavy on the budget, I see no go reason to let any of those guys go

Manny Ramirez is growing extremely upset about the lack of suitors for his services, so much so that he has told friends he would contemplate retirement if a suitable offer doesn't arrive soon, a person close to the situation told Newsday.
We needed a good laugh at the end of a busy week. We're sure Manny will be receiving a lot of sympathy. To think there aren't dozens of teams willing to pay him $25 million for a one-dimensional 36-year-old known for giving it all only when he feels like it.
Re: Stuff....
might I add, Manny to the Angels would be fantastic...Dodger fans went nuts over Manny here and rightfully so, to see him go to the Angels would be a great way for Arte to screw with McCourt and the Dodger fans.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Rotoworld: The Orioles will not be able to land Cubs outfielder Felix Pie in a stand-alone trade that doesn't involve Jake Peavy.
The O's had dreams of sending Garrett Olson to the Padres and receiving Pie from the Cubs in a three or four-team trade. With talks between the Cubs and Padres falling flat, the Orioles are now out of the mix. Baltimore executives said Thursday that the Cubs won't budge on Pie without Peavy being somehow involved.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
To answer your questions: yes.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
I also agree completely. I think you have Soriano, Fukudome, Johnson, New RF, Lee, Hoffpauer, DeRosa, Fonentont, Theriot, Cedeno (or other backup IF), Ramirez, Soto, backup catcher. That leaves a 12-man staff. If Pie is on there something else has to give.
I don't like the idea of having Fontenot, Theriot, DeRosa, and Ramirez to cover 3 IF positions. That eliminates double switches, prevents DeRosa from filling-in in RF, and makes it difficult to rest Ramirez.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
I can't imagine the Cubs shedding Pie just to make room for Cedeno. I actually expect Cedeno to be non-tendered today.
Cedeno lost me, finally, with his poor fielding in September. He had ten errors, by the way, in winter ball last time I looked. I don't think Lou has much use for him, which is why he keeps talking about trying Fontenot at short.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Lou (or you) doesn't like Cedeno because of his defense, yet Lou (or you) wants Fontenot at short?
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
If Bradley signs with Rays, does Pie go to Marlins for Hermida?
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Maybe Johnson's spot is not as safe as we think, or Hendry's got a trade destination for Fukudome in his back pocket.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
It's possible that Fukudome spends part of the season in Iowa. I remember Lou's comment after game 2 with the Dodgers: There's not much point in running him out there again.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Yeah, that was a very astute comment by Lou who followed that up by:
1. Running him out there
2. Watching him single off a pitcher who apparently was channeling Walter Johnson for the evening.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
with a guy who can get a bat through the zone as fast as pie what's the use in giving up on him now?
he's not polished or 09 ready, but the team seems to be just fine working around it.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
"with a guy who can get a bat through the zone as fast as pie what's the use in giving up on him now?"
That's what I've been saying.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Maybe Hendry believes he can get more for Pie and this is just posturing.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
maybe the Cubs just don't like Garrett Olson...
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
My cracked crystal ball says that Bradley will be a Cub by this time next week.
He is simply the best fit for RF of all of the available options, and he offers the added versatility of being a switch-hitter and being able to play all three OF positions if needed.
Since this is THE critical off-season move, Hendry will get it done.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
That'd be great, but I think Fuki, like most pro athletes, believes he has what it takes.
Re: Fuki, like most pro athletes, believes he has what it takes
you mean he's delusional?
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Also the fact that Pie has the strike zone judgement of Shawon Dunston negates his bat speed
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Also the fact that we've heard various rumors that he's a malcontent and likes to party instead of working on his game.
I have to think most "can't miss" prospects who end up missing, do so more for mental reasons than physical reasons. Sure, he has the tools, but he's a mental midget. Trade him while he still has some sort of value.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
speaking of partying...
is it just me or has every peavy story/rumor/quote coming from him the past month or two about all this crap come straight from a bar? ...like many numerous bars.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
When you're a Cy Young pitcher, you're allowed to party as much as you want in the offseason. When you're a former hot prospect who strikes out every third time at bat, you're not allowed to party until 2AM the night before a day game.
Before all you journalism majors get all over me about not providing a link, I don't have one, but I remember reading those rumors. Whether or not they're true, I have no idea, but the reasons Pie hasn't succeeded in the majors have nothing to do with his physical talent.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
yeah, im not comparing skill or etc...just popped into my head that almost everything from or directly about peavy seems to have leaked out of the bars recently.
Re: no link
Az Phil himself reported this here at TCR last summer>>
But I have heard whispers that he sulked big-time after being optioned to AAA by the Cubs in May, and that part of the reason behind the Cubs decision to option the Pie man to Iowa in the first place was related to his becoming a bit of a "party animal" in Chicago, staying out until all hours of the night and then showing up at the ballpark not necessarily "ready to play" the next day.
As a further tidbit of bizarro information, Pie had what sounded like an argument with someone from the Cubs brass (I couldn't see exactly who it was, but I could probably guess) who was sitting up in the Fitch Park Tower that overlooks the four fields as Pie was walking to the clubhouse after he left the game in the 6th inning.
I didn't understand the complete nature of the "discussion," but I believe it had something to do with Pie expecting to leave town immediately (like "who is driving me to the airport?"), but being told instead that he would be staying in Arizona for at least one more day.
Pie did not look happy, that's for sure.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win 20 in the show, however, it means you are a slob.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
FWIW Pie hasn't been playing for Licey lately, which is what you would expect if he's on the block.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
he missed their most recent game, but he's been playing.
he started the season late and licey's only played a handful of games recently. there was a cancelled game a few games ago and a lot of downtime in early Dec.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Nav's right, he hasn't been playing. He did hit .320 in 50 at bats. I thought he stopped playing about the time that he was mentioned in connection with Peavy.
Jake Fox hasn't been playing either. He went a little cold, and the Licey player-conveyor belt seems to have moved on. Maybe Pie and Fox finished their tour of duty and left the team.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
for some screwed reason i reposted my initial comment...instead of quoting part of it.
pie's been playing, DEC is when things slow down a bit in the dominican leagues...he's not played every game or all over every game, but he's been playing. the team has played 6 games this month (7th tonight).
he may not be 100% healthy (dunno), but he's not MIA or being hidden. you can find out in 30-90 minutes if he's playing tonight.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
It's also what you'd expect if he sucks.
Ex-Cub News
Rob Bowen surprisingly given a contract by the A's - most had him being non-tendered.
Clement deal with Blue Jays is complete - minor league with invite
Jason Smith of Rule 5 fame was DFAed and will likely be non-tendered tonight.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Fuld may be better than we give him credit for. He's certainly better than Pie right now, except that he's not out of options.
In 143 at bats, Fuld has 30 walks, 14 strikeouts. With 10 doubles, 4 triples and 4 home runs, his SLG is .538. He's the best Cub performer in winter ball. (Fox cooled off and Kroeger fell into a prolonged slump--although I guess he's not a Cub anyway.)
A year ago, Fuld had that great AFL season.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Chris Burke just got non-tendered by the D'backs. I wonder if Jimbo tries to pick him up as insurance in case of a Cedeno and/or Derosa trade.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
I'd rather have the actor who played Corky on "Life Goes On." Hell, I'd almost rather have Cedeno.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Muskat-love doesn't think anyone will get non-tendered...
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Al Yellon:
I'd be perfectly happy if Fukudome became the player he was in Japan (or a reasonable facsimile)
Sure, do you want world peace with that?
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
You guys are really down on Fukudome. Is it really outside the realm of possibility that he straightens himself out?
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
I think a lot of us are looking at that swing and thinking it must be the problem, then thinking that there is now way you fix that without Fuki having to rebuild his game.
But dominated in Japan with that swing, so maybe it really isn't the problem. Maybe he had injury issues, or he just went into the ever-mysterious "slump." Maybe he'll come back and be the .280/.380/.400 player many of us expected him to be.
If it's the swing, though, he's cooked. If it's the swing, I have no idea how he succeeded in Japan.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Slower pitchers, less fastballs (or more, in the high 80's range) and no advance scouting. See Matsui, Kaz; it's not that uncommon.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
I'd accept that as evidence if someone could show me that Fukudome hit guys with high 80s fastballs well in 2008. As far as I can tell he didn't hit any category of pitchers well after May.
Edit: Granted, they don't use a measure of velocity or "stuff" but instead use Ks and BBs, according to Baseball Reference Fuki posted a .378 OBP and .370 slugging against Power pitchers, a .331 OBP and .373 slugging against Finesse pitchers, a .388 OBP and .404 slugging against guys in between those two categories.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
For some reason he lost patience at the plate. It was like he got hit by the Cubs' approach of 2007. He started lunging at stuff outside. It was weird. The first month or so he laid off stuff away, then, as if he had taken a Dunston pill, began to hack away at stuff out of the zone.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Kaz Matsui had an .884 OPS in July of his rookie year and hit .293 .354 .427 last year. What are you talking about?
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Lets just hope the Cubs steer clear of Bradley. For Bradley to even be worth anything to an NL team he needs to play the OF and there are serious questions if he can still even play in the OF anymore. Then on top of that he needs to stay healthy while doing it.
It's basically like signing Nomar to a big free agent deal. If a player can't stay healthy when he is younger that isn't going to change as they get older. It is going to get worse as they age.
I would rather have Abreu for more money or take Juan Rivera or Rocco Baldelli on cheaper contracts who have the chance for a high reward.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Baldelli hits right-handed.
Must be another AJ Burnett out there...
Re: Must be another AJ Burnett out there...
Not as fucked up as them going after Lowe even if they sign Burnett.
Anyone know the difference in GA and NY state income taxes?
Burnett's probably the FA that I think's most likely to be a disasterous signing for this off-season.
Re: Must be another AJ Burnett out there...
really, is Lowe really another option?
they'll never learn...
honestly, CC and Burnett are pretty good bets to end up hurt imo...at least they got players on the right side of 35 this time.
Re: Must be another AJ Burnett out there...
I read something, I think over at BP that talked about Sabathia becoming really good by cleaning up his mechanics. I guess a team that got good innings out of Wells isn't as worried about the fat issue.
Re: Must be another AJ Burnett out there...
he's good at cleaning out a buffet, too.
hope his knees/back age well.
...and wells wasn't much of a power pitcher though he held up pretty well.
Re: Must be another AJ Burnett out there...
They must've been desperate to replace the position of oft-injured overpaid ex-Marlin starting pitcher.
If I were a Jays fan, I don't know if I'd be mad or laughing.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Well that probably means the Braves enter the Peavy talks again! Damn Yanks...also want Lowe or Sheets! Wow...
I guess everyone will want Marquis then!
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
Braves made it clear as day they're not talking to the Padres again unless the Padres approach them and are not including Yunel Escobar this time.
think Braves might make a run at Sheets or Oliver Perez....
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
New post up on the arb-eligible players...
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
The Cubs seem to be more interested in Bradley though, and the rumors I'm hearing have him taking less money than Abreu. Not that the money will make a big difference if Abreu can play 150 games and Bradly can only play 75.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
"...but I remember reading those rumors."
I don't believe those were just rumors regarding Pie's late - night activities; you heard them too often if you lived near the ballpark. If I'm not mistaken, there were pics on Deadspin of him with two attractive women on his arm, replete with a bottle of whiskey in the other. Not good.
" would rather have Abreu for more money or take Juan Rivera or Rocco Baldelli on cheaper contracts who have the chance for a high reward."
Doesn't Baldelli's current medical condition preclude him from becoming an everyday player again? He can't even take warm - ups anymore, due to his need to conserve every available unit of energy in his body. While still an amazing comeback last year, I don't see him being able to play the OF on a daily basis at Wrigley.
Re: Try a Little Tenderness
I'm not mistaken, there were pics on Deadspin of him with two attractive women on his arm, replete with a bottle of whiskey in the other. Not good.
Wait... he had attractive women around him?!?! And drank alcohol?!?! Oh no!!!
You could say the same thing about the vast majority of professional athletes.
Recent comments
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er
zobrist with 2HR and a double through 8
heyward 0-4 :(
Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales
Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.

Ok, so I'll start saying that I know most psOne era final fantasy fans hold VII as their one and only all time favorite in the series, while some of the older players hold VI or even I at the top of their best rpg lists. But here I am, about to say that VIII has always been (and probably will always be) my favorite entry in the final fantasy series, I know im part of a minority but I do know (because I've met some) there are some others like me out there, so this blog entry is mainly directed at you.
So, it was like month and a half ago that I just created my very own, Japanese psn account (like probably everyone with a ps3 already has) in order to download demos for Bayonetta, Tales of Vesperia and Yakuza 3 and see if they were as good as all the import reviews said.
And then I see this classic picture of Rinoa and Squall about to embrace, the same one used countless times for the original, and there I find out, not only FFVII but also FFVIII was available for japanese players to download and play from psn.
I've waiting for a while to see any announcements here or in any other gaming site about this game coming to the american psn, but nothing so far, like anything not FFVII related, the news of this game being released in japan seem to have gone under the radar.
So here goes the question, does anyone else here want to see this dlc psOne port get a translation? or even more importantly, does anyone know if there are any news about it getting one?

"Mayhem Festival"
TALE OF TWO DUDES | Okay, let's play a quick round of RICHARD BLANCO or ROB ZOMBIE. I'll write a verse (line breaks removed), and you guess who wrote it...ready? A) "I'll tell you one thing, man: nothing ever happens until you medicate the Witch Queen of Mongo and hail the passing of King George." B) "My brother should still be thirteen, sneaking rum in the bathroom, sculpting naked women from sand." C) "Maybe it was the billboards promising paradise, maybe those fifty-nine miles with your hand in mine, maybe my sexy roadster, the top down..." And D) "A wretched heart in the dark decay dominate forever. Destroy the things you love and see if I remember." Toughies! (See the bottom of this page for answers.) If you're a fan of either, you'll know that Zombie headlines something called the Mayhem Festival, emphatically sponsored by energy drinks, in Bangor ($42.25), while Poet Laureate Blanco reads at the Strand Theatre at 7 ($20).
Rob Zombie + Five Finger Death Punch + Mastodon + Amon Amarth + Machine Head + Job for a Cowboy + Butcher Babies + Attika 7 + Battlecross + Huntress + Children of Bodom + Emmure + Born of Osiris + Motionless In White + Thrown Into Exile + Scorpion Child + City in the Sea

Mick Jackson
Jump to
British filmmaker who began his career as an editor for the BBC. Jackson started directing with the British documentaries "The Ascent of Man," "The Age of Uncertainty" and "Connections." He received his start in narrative films with "Threads," a critically acclaimed 1984 English TV movie dealing with the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust. This led to more work in British television, including the heralded miniseries "A Very British Coup" (1989). Jackson made his American feature debut with the dark comedy "Chattahoochee" (1990) starring Gary Oldman. Subsequent feature work includes the gentle and offbeat "L.A. Story" (1991) with Steve Martin and "The Bodyguard" (1992), which paired Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston. After "The Bodyguard"'s tremendous success, Jackson directed "Clean Slate" (1994), a comedy caper featuring Dana Carvey as an amnesiac detective in a variation on the plot of "Groundhog Day" (1993).

Tooth & Go Dental Clinic Paranaque- Quality Dental Services in Philippines
Here is a testimonial sent to us by one of our customers: "I just wanted to say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful care, expertise, professionalism and amazing work you have done for me. Dr. Bogs, words don't express my gratitude for the surgery you performed on me. In Turkish there is a saying "Ellerin sagol" which means "from my soul to your soul". We don't have that in English but that's how I feel for the gift given to you. I was really impressed that you managed to take all that amalgam out of my jawbone, something I nearly lost hope in ever achieving. Many many thanks each+ every one of you…" Quihuara K.

Our great team of dentists specialized in all fields of dentistry, such as implant dentistry, prosthodontic dentistry, endodontics, orthodontics or periodontics, provides a wide variety of fast and cost-effective dental services and welcome international clients and patients from Paranaque, Alabang, Las Pinas, Muntinlupaand of course all local Philippinos. Our staff received in-depth International training in prestigious German institutions such as IPI, Thiel Dental or Westerburger Kontakte, which enhanced the standard of our skills over the last years.
Our first choice when it comes to high end dental solutions is the hybrid material called Vita Suprinity, a high tech material made from zirconia and lithium disilicate particles which provides unique strength and aesthetics.
