Nissan showed off some ideas for its next SUVs Tuesday at the 2013 North American International Auto Show.
Those ideas came in the shape of the new Resonance Concept. The concept SUV is roughly the same size as Nissan's Murano SUV, which is due for a redesign in 2014, and Nissan leaders say you can expect to see a lot of the Resonance styling in future Nissan SUVs.
Up front, the SUV has boomerang-shaped headlights similar to those seen on other recent Nissan cars. Moving back, the blacked-out pillars help the roof look like it's floating above the greenhouse.
The rear of the SUV is sharply tapered and features boomerang-shaped taillights that echo the shape of the headlights.
Inside, the car is all concept, with a giant touch screen in the center console. Wood and leather covers pretty much every surface, and the roof is glass, giving the five people inside a panoramic view.
"This design is not meant to appeal to traditional two-box SUV shoppers, but rather to those whose fashion and design choices make a statement. For Nissan, this concept makes our statement about the future of this segment," said Francois Bancon, Nissan's general manager of product strategy and planning.
Powering the Resonance is a hybrid system combining a 2.5 liter engine with an electric motor.

Actor John C. Reilly brings character to concert at Miller Caves
The Miller Caves, underneath the brewery that not only made Milwaukee famous but also helped define the city itself, apparently never seemed, until Sunday night, like a place to hold a concert.
In retrospect, after the very first such event courtesy of John C. Reilly and Friends, the historic location was a small club waiting to happen: The painted backdrop of cavorting (presumably) Germans had retro style, as did the overhead lamps and the high-arched ceiling. »Read Full Article(4)

Yiyun Li's 'Kinder Than Solitude' asks if there's life after Tiananmen Square
Born in 1972, Yiyun Li was a teenager in Beijing when China trained its guns on its own people in Tiananmen Square.
Reflecting much later on that nightmarish year of 1989, Li recalled how it forever destroyed her close friendship with a schoolmate, because there was no way for Li to prove that she wasn't among those who had turned him in, for daring to disclose what he'd witnessed. In the dystopian China in which she was raised, Li could look and feel guilty even though she was innocent. "One does not have to steal," she noted, "to feel like a thief." »Read Full Article

Chic Cafe serves classics of the South
It can be hard to find Southern dishes downtown, and it still might be hard unless you know just where to look: Tucked on the lower level of 770 N. Jefferson St. is Chic Cafe, a fast-casual restaurant that opened in December with a menu mostly of Southern dishes.
It's next to Shah Jee's, the perpetually popular curry and dal buffet, in what's something of a mini food court — two restaurants with counter service and shared seating in the atrium. Chic Cafe has menu items that are made to order, like a po' boy of cornmeal-crusted shrimp with fries ($9.95), and those take a bit of time, but it has a quick-service buffet as well. »Read Full Article

Painter Bob Ross' 'happy trees' can teach statistics and probability, too
FiveThirtyEight.com's Walt Hickey has done the world a mitzvah: He's counted how many 'happy trees' the late Bob Ross painted on 'The Joy of Painting' -- and used that data as a friendly lesson in statistical analysis and conditional probability.
Ross (1942-1995), you may remember, was the friendly guy with a stunning perm who taught wet-on-wet oil painting on the PBS series for more than 400 episodes. He painted happy trees, mighty mountains and happy little clouds. Comedians have chided him, and he even parodied himself in an MTV promo, but he remains a beloved pop-culture figure nearly two decades after his death. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Reading the John Updike stories: 'You'll Never Know, Dear, How Much I Love You'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
After I first read Updike's story "You'll Never Know, Dear, How Much I Love You," before I looked at any other commentary on it, I thought immediately of "Araby," a story in James Joyce's "Dubliners." They share the same situation: a boy anticipates a fair (or bazaar) with great excitement, only to leave disappointed. Both youth arrive at the fair late: the unnamed youth in "Araby" doesn't get there until nearly 10 o'clock; Ben, the 10-year-old protagonist of Updike's story, takes note of the "empty darkening streets" as he approaches the carnival. »Read Full Blog Post

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Although the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, pap smears and increased public awareness have reduced cervical cancer rates in the United States, the disease still affects at least 13,000 women annually -- many of them in their child-bearing years.
"The average age of cervical cancer patients is in the early 40s, so many women are younger than that and may not have started their families yet," says Jeffrey Fowler, MD, a gynecologic oncologist with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital & Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC-James). "In recent years, we've often found ourselves treating the cervical cancer while also working to preserve a patient's ability to conceive."
In the past, women diagnosed with cervical cancer had two primary treatment options: a radical hysterectomy -- removing the uterus, cervix and part of the vagina -- or radiation therapy to the pelvis. Both treatment options eliminated a woman's ability to become pregnant.
The OSUCCC-James gynecologic oncology team offers a minimally invasive procedure known as a radical trachelectomy to preserve a woman's ability to conceive post treatment. Unlike traditional hysterectomies, the procedure only requires a fraction of the woman's reproductive tract tissue be removed, preserving her ability to get pregnant after surgery.
Fowler estimates that about 70 percent of the women who have had this procedure nationwide and then attempted to become pregnant have been successful. The procedure is only appropriate for certain women with early stage, localized disease.
"Fertility just wasn't a consideration in the past. Introduction of the radical tracheloectomy technique has changed that concept," adds Fowler. "For women who qualify for the procedure, it can be the best of both worlds, and that's what we aiming for: cancer eradication and enhanced quality of life."

Set a Goal
How Ready Are You?
Sometimes it's the perfect time to make a change: you're energized, you're empowered, and you're able. Other times, it's more difficult. Maybe you're not sure change is needed. Or maybe change feels overwhelming. Whatever the case, readiness for change is critical to success.
Psychologist Dr. Prochaska and his colleagues maintain that change takes time, and generally occurs in certain stages. For more information, click Stages of Readiness for Change in the left column.
Step 1: Determine Readiness for Change
Now that you have identified where you want to make changes, it is important to see if you are really ready to do so.
Take the following quiz to find out what sorts of goals you are ready to tackle. It is based on work by psychologist James O. Prochaska, an expert on assessing readiness for change.
Start by thinking of one area identified in the self-assessment where you want to make changes and answer each question yes or no.Copyright by the Regents of the University of Minnesota

Goddard College union debate heating up
PLAINFIELD With a staff vote on unionizing less than a week away, some employees at Goddard College say they are disappointed with the schools anti-union rhetoric and think the school may have damaged its reputation by going against its history of progressive social awareness.
But school officials have hinted that the union drive could hurt Goddard financially, including by alienating donors.
Staff members are to vote Wednesday at the schools campus in Plainfield by secret ballot. If the vote is in favor, the staff will become members of United Auto Workers Local 2322, which already represents the faculty.
The school in November declined the unions request that staff be included in Local 2322 without a vote, saying it wanted to make sure all the staff wanted to join the union.
Kitchen worker Jeff Dutton said he was surprised by the schools response to the union drive. He said the school sent staff members links to websites recently trying to show an alternative view of unions, but that the websites were in fact run by national anti-union lobbyists that have been used by the likes of Wal-Mart in its attempt to keep employees from unionizing.
Dutton said that from a business standpoint he can understand the schools fear of the staff unionizing because of the unstable economic climate.
(School administrators) job is to oversee budgets and cost controls. They dont necessarily weigh the long-term benefits and savings in taking care of employees and making employees happy.
Its very easy to lose sight of that.
While he would not say which way he is voting, Dutton said his mind is made up.
One area school administrators have said may be hurt in the union debate is donations. Goddard officials declined to be interviewed for this story, but in an email to faculty and staff, Chief Advancement Officer Lauren Geiger Moye addressed criticism of the schools stance on the union and how that criticism may affect potential donors and the future of the school.
And just at the point when the college has achieved tremendous momentum, this negative debate and public references to intimidation could seriously undermine the progress we have made with the external audiences we must depend upon to thrive and excel, Moye wrote. I strongly believe that if President Vacarrs current efforts are not successful, the impact of unionization on our campus will be the last thing we will need to be concerned about. The Colleges very survival and the employment opportunities here for all of us will be at risk.
Dutton said he does not think the union will hurt donations from alumni and people who have a history with Goddard.
If you are looking for corporate, mainstream donations, maybe, he said.
Paul Somerset is the schools executive chef and kitchen supervisor. He is not eligible to join the union now because he is a supervisor but said he would like to join if eligibility is expanded.
Somerset said the school should be supportive of unions now, as it was in 1998 when the board of trustees allowed the teachers to unionize without even taking a vote. He said that even to hint at opposition to unions goes against the schools mission statement, which reads: To advance cultures of rigorous inquiry, collaboration, and lifelong learning, where individuals take imaginative and responsible action in the world.
Somerset also said he sees a contradiction between the schools hosting of an event celebrating the Occupy Wall Street movement last year, coupled with the anti-conservative talk he heard around campus leading up to the November elections, and the schools decision not to support the union and to spread anti-union rhetoric, a tactic he said is also used by conservative politicians.
In a statement about the Occupy event last February, Goddard President Barbara Vacarr said, Goddard College has strong roots as an activist college. Institutions of higher education have a duty to foster and encourage student activism and citizen participation.
Somerset did give Vacarr credit for facilitating an open and honest dialogue about the union drive. He also gave her credit for meeting with his staff two weeks ago to address their concerns about their status as temporary employees, because of the nature of the school calendar, who are not eligible for unemployment.
He did call the timing of the meeting suspect, however, saying hes been trying to have the concerns addressed since he started working there a year and a half ago.
Kitchen worker Adam Woogmaster supports the union. He said the school should be embracing it with open arms and an open heart and agreed the administrations response reflects fear about the bottom line.
Goddards administration did release a statement confirming the schools hesitation to support the union out of fears it will cost the school money.
We have deep concerns about whether this is the best time for a union on campus, that a union wont add to the resources available to us and will place a further strain on those resources, the statement said.
The statement also said the school continues to respect and is committed to supporting the right of its employees to choose whether they want representation by a union.
We recognize that Goddard staff are not a homogenous group, and as all things at Goddard there are diverse perspectives and opinions related to unionization, the statement said.

To Infinity And Beyond: Would-Be Astronauts Keep Faith In Uncertain Era
Space exploration has stirred imaginations and piloted hopes and dreams, but the future of space travel looks very different from the age in which Neil Armstrong made it to the moon.
Since NASA is no longer doing manned missions, astronaut hopefuls have turned their sites on the private sector.
Private Adventurism
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, is one example of space entrepreneurship. He's been investing in private rockets and spaceships, leading two missions to the International Space Station in 2012.
Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Airlines, has founded a private space company of his own called Virgin Galactic. He says he hopes to open a spaceport in New Mexico for tourists later this year. He'll offer a six-minute, weightless ride into space.
A slew of other private companies are building and testing spaceship prototypes to carry people and cargo, all in the hopes that space exploration will be profitable.
John Grunsfeld, a retired astronaut and associate administrator for science at NASA, says this is all just as it should be. He says it's a natural evolution — a sort of seed company spinoff from NASA.
"The reason they're successful is because we've had 50 years of investment in learning how to explore space," he tells NPR's Jacki Lyden.
The technology that's been developed over the years by NASA is now being used in the private sector.
"When they are successful, it will make our space program stronger and also provide an economic engine for the country," Grunsfeld says.
Eyes On The Stars
For astronaut-hopeful Brian Shiro, these private companies may be his best hope of getting off Earth. Shiro, 34, has wanted to be an astronaut since he went to space camp in middle school. The geophysicist has the skills: math, science, multiple marathons.
He's invested all his vacations and free time to training, and he has a blog, Astronaut for Hire. He's even experienced zero gravity in a centrifuge in a NASA-sponsored training exercise.
He has applied twice to be a NASA astronaut, but last week he found out he once again didn't make the cut. He's not worried; he intends to become an astronaut with or without NASA. Shiro says he's ready at a moment's notice.
"If you need an astronaut, I'm here," he says.
Record-breaking former astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria says Shiro shouldn't get discouraged. Lopez-Alegria spent seven continuous months in orbit and has done more spacewalking than any other human being. It's not a moment you can relive, he says.
"It's almost like a different dimension, like a dream," he says.
Although he had to meet very specific education requirements to be an astronaut with the government, he expects the opportunity will open up to people with all kinds of expertise.
'Inspiring' Work
As Shiro and others look for private-sector opportunities, NASA is shifting its focus, too. The agency's role, says NASA administrator Grunsfeld, is to keep undertaking things like the Hubble Telescope, Mars rovers and other big-concept ideas.
"What we do at NASA is inspiring. It's reaching, it's visionary, and it inspires people on Earth to try hard things," he says. "I think it's really a sign of great American strength that we do invest the money we do in technology, in these hard projects, in NASA."
That investment isn't what it used to be, though.
"Last year, they did take a hit. They had a relatively flat budget of $17.7 billion — that was still $59 million less than what they got in 2012," says Tariq Malik, managing editor of SPACE.com.
NASA had to take hundreds of millions of dollars out of its planetary science projects, he says.
"And this is in a year when they had a spectacular success: They landed the biggest robot on Mars that can move around, the Curiosity Rover," Malik says.
A budget of $17.7 billion may sound huge, but Grunsfeld says it isn't, really.
"Our country ... invests a tiny fraction of 1 percent in NASA, and this is what's so amazing to me," he says, "is with that small investment, we do so much for the country."
Forget The Moon
President Obama has re-conceived the next big space push: sending astronauts to visit an asteroid by 2025, and then to possibly try for Mars in the mid-2030s. Malik says he thinks visiting an asteroid is gutsy.
"Everyone can see the moon at night. When Obama took office, he scrapped that plan ... to trade with this asteroid one, which they hope will capture the imagination of folks more because it's never been done before," he says.
Malik points out that space exploration is still wildly popular with the public. Last year, NASA got more applicants for the next astronaut training class than ever before. That class will be announced this spring.
It's WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Jacki Lyden.
LYDEN: Space exploration - it stirred our imaginations, piloted our hopes and dreams as a people, made us dizzy over its possibilities of a brave new world of tomorrow land.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: (as character) Space, the final frontier.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: (as character) America's Mercury astronauts.
BRETT CULLEN: (as CAPCOM) Say again, please.
TOM HANKS: (as Jim Lovell) Houston, we have a problem. We have a main bus...
LYDEN: But in the future, will the great NASA program that put Neil Armstrong on the moon put the next and the next generation of astronauts anywhere off Earth? Would you settle for exploring an asteroid? Or will our airbrushed dreams of space evolve with a kind of public private partnership that couldn't have been imagined when Houston signed his still used slide rulers? That's our cover story tonight: Where we've been, where we're going and the future of space exploration, an earthling perspective.
LYDEN: Brian Shiro is a distinctly terrestrial sort. First of all, he's a geophysicist. That's just his day job, though. He's still working on his childhood dreams.
BRIAN SHIRO: When I was in middle school, I went to space camp down in Alabama, which was just phenomenal. And, you know, I knew then that I had to be an astronaut. In fact, I remember I was up in the front of the group of kids and I asked, where's your Zero-G room because I just thought it had to exist.
LYDEN: Brian Shiro who's 34 now lives in Honolulu. A generation ago, he would've been in orbit by now and become a NASA astronaut. He's got all the skills, the math, the science, the multiple marathons run. For his dream, he'd invested all his vacation and free time into training to be an astronaut. He did make it to zero gravity in a centrifuge here on earth in a NASA-sponsored training exercise.
SHIRO: This helps prepare you for the, you know, the way of the blood moves in your body during the launch or re-entry. Another thing we do that's really interesting is we spin everybody around in this device you might call a torture device, and it's meant to find where your motion sickness tolerances are.
LYDEN: But now, NASA's just not doing manned missions. Last year was the final year of the space shuttle. Now, if a NASA astronaut wants to get to the International Space Station, he or she must hitch a ride there on a Russian rocket. And as NASA cuts back on the manned mission idea, the private sector is stepping up in various ways. Tariq Malik writes for the website SPACE.com.
TARIQ MALIK: Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motors, he put all of his own money into these private rockets and spaceships. And last year, in 2012, they flew not only once but twice to the space station with this robotic cargo ship.
LYDEN: One thing space exploration is fostering is adventurism. Richard Branson is the owner of Virgin Airlines. He founded a private space company of his own called Virgin Galactic and hopes to open a spaceport in New Mexico for tourists later this year. He'll offer a six-minute weightless rides into space. And a slew of other private companies are building and testing spaceship prototypes to carry people and cargo, all in the hopes that space exploration will be profitable.
John Grunsfeld is a retired astronaut and the associate administrator for science at NASA. He says this is all just as it should be. It's a natural evolution, a seed company spin-off from NASA, if you will.
JOHN GRUNSFELD: The reason they're successful is because we've had 50 years of investment in learning how to explore space. You know, the technology for the engines, the turbo pumps, the launch systems, the electronics, the computers, you know, all of that is now flowing out into the private sector in these more innovative companies. And when they are successful, it will make our space program stronger and also provide an economic engine for the country.
LYDEN: For astronaut-hopeful Brian Shiro, these private companies may be his best hope of getting off Earth. Twice he's applied to be a NASA astronaut. Last week, he found out once again that he didn't make the cut. No worries, he says. He intends to become an astronaut with or without NASA. So you are ready. You are ready to go into space.
SHIRO: Yeah, at a moment's notice. If you need an astronaut, I'm here.
LYDEN: Check out his website. It's called Astronaut for Hire. Send this man into orbit. How about seven continuous months of orbit? That's how many days and weeks Michael Lopez-Alegria spent in space. He's a record-breaking former astronaut who spent more hours spacewalking than any other human being. And he says Shiro shouldn't get discouraged and neither should you nor I if we want to go into space.
MICHAEL LOPEZ-ALEGRIA: To become an astronaut in the government sense requires a certain sort of type of education, you know, science, technology, engineering, mathematics, that sort of fields. What I would add now is that if you like journalism, for instance, and not math, you can also become an astronaut. It might be a different way, but NPR should be sending people to space in the not-to-distant future.
LYDEN: I'm ready. So NASA's role, says John Grunsfeld, the NASA administrator, is to keep undertaking things like the Hubble Telescope and Mars rovers and other big concept ideas.
GRUNSFELD: What we do at NASA is inspiring. It's reaching, it's visionary, and it inspires people here on Earth to try hard things. I think it's really a sign of great American strength that we do invest the money we do in technology in these hard projects in NASA.
LYDEN: Just last summer when the Mars rover touched down on Mars, the action in the NASA control room was live broadcast to a crowd of thousands in New York's Times Square.
ALLEN CHEN: Touchdown confirmed. We're safe on Mars.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (Unintelligible). The Curiosity landed on Mars.
LYDEN: But exploration comes at a price, a big one. Let's go back to Tariq Malik, the writer for SPACE.com who explains the NASA budget.
MALIK: Last year, they did take a hit. They had a relatively flat budget of $17.7 billion. That was still, you know, 59 million less than what they got in 2012. And they had to make cuts. They cut hundreds of millions of dollars from planetary science, and this is in a year where they had a spectacular success: They landed the biggest robot on Mars that can move around, the Curiosity Rover.
LYDEN: 17.7 billion sounds astronomical, but it isn't really, says John Grunsfeld of NASA.
GRUNSFELD: Our country, you know, invests a tiny fraction of 1 percent in NASA, and this is what's so amazing to me is with that small investment, we do so much for the country.
LYDEN: So NASA is trying to reset its goals. President Obama has talked not of revisiting the moon, which President George W. Bush had done, and the money for that visit never materialized. Instead, President Obama has reconceived the next big space push.
MALIK: And NASA's goal as set by the Obama administration is to send astronauts out into deep space to visit the near-Earth asteroid by 2025. And if that goes swimmingly, then to taking Mars sometime in the mid-'30s.
LYDEN: And Tariq Malik thinks visiting an asteroid is pretty gutsy.
MALIK: And everyone can see the moon at night. When Obama took office, he scrapped that plan, you know, for - to trade it with this asteroid one, which they hope will capture the imagination of folks more because it's never been done before.
LYDEN: He points out that space exploration is still wildly popular with the public. Last year, NASA got more applicants for the next astronaut training class than ever before. And that class will be announced this spring. So space travel still has a cultural role to play as a change agent for the future, an embodiment of what if.
At the National Air and Space Museum here in Washington, visitor Bruce Prestwich(ph) remembers a time when just sending people into space seemed impossible.
BRUCE PRESTWICH: We first heard the beep from Sputnik when I was a kid and nobody thought nobody will ever be able to go into space, no human being.
LYDEN: Sputnik. Remember what we just told you that last year's NASA astronaut applications were the largest cesspool ever. And the dreams of going into space seemed like a shared optimism for us earthlings. Michael Lopez-Alegria says he still wants to go back.
LOPEZ-ALEGRIA: It's amazing now when I look back - and I mean, I sound like an old retired guy, which I am now. But even after I flew the first time and the second time, and a month later, you go back and try to sort of live the moment again and you can't do it. It's just such a different - it's almost a really different dimension, and it's like a dream. So you can be there or you can be here, but you can't be in both places at the same time.
LYDEN: And even if we don't send an astronaut to Mars, we're still making amazing discoveries.
LOPEZ-ALEGRIA: We have discoveries every single day. One of the recent things that we discovered with Hubble is an observation from something called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, and this was an observation where Hubble stared in one part of the sky for a long time to bring out a time-lapse picture of the ancient universe. And we've observed now a galaxy - and actually, there's more than just one galaxy - that existed when the universe was only about 500 million years old. And so we're seeing for the very first time the baby pictures of the universe.
LYDEN: Baby pictures of the universe. Yesterday's news of the Mars rover drilling into rock, a Chinese New Year's greeting and song sent from astronauts in space, new discoveries every day.
The science fiction writer Ray Bradbury, author of "The Martian Chronicles" and many other books, died last summer. He was born in 1920 and definitely came from a time when space exploration was only a dream, but it was something he deeply believed in. He once told Playboy Magazine: We need something larger than ourselves. That's a real religious activity. That's what space travel can be: relating ourselves to the universe.

Officials with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality have issued a "do not drink the water" order after worms were found in the drinking water by residents in Colcord, Okla., in Delaware County.
The Oklahoma DEQ confirmed the red worms were found by local residents in Colcord.
Colcord Schools closed Tuesday due to the worm infestation, which affected over 300 residents. Officials are still unsure how the worms got into their water supply and are working to clean out the system.
Officials say the schools will be closed again on Wednesday.
"The chlorine won't kill them, the bleach won't kill them. You can take the worms out of the filter system and put them in a straight cup of bleach and leave them in there for about four hours, and they still won't die," said Water Commissioner and Vice Mayor Cody Gibby.
Rachel Miller has been hauling water for her family.
"It's crazy, (because) my kids are out of school. We have no water. We can't even cook with it, so it's pretty bad," said Miller. "When you go without water, you kind of miss the simple things of being able to go and turn your faucet on."
The lack of water, especially on a hot day, was a big concern for school leaders.
"We have about 650 students in our school, from pre-K to 12th grade. It's not possible to have school without drinking water," said Colcord Superintendent J.D. Parkerson.
The Cherokee Nation donated several pallets of bottled water to Colcord Schools.

Warm scallop salad with lime and cilantro
Makes 4 servings
This salad takes its flavors from the popular Latin American appetizer ceviche, a dish made with fish "cooked" in a marinade of lime juice, onions, tomatoes, and peppers. Here the fish is cooked conventionally with those ingredients. Accompany this main dish salad with pita bread.
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons minced seeded jalapeño pepper
1 pound sea scallops
1 plum tomato, cut into ½-inch cubes
1 yellow bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 avocado, cut into ½-inch cubes
½ cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
¼ teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bunch fresh watercress
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeño; cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the scallops and continue stirring gently for about 3 minutes or until cooked through.
Stir in the remaining ingredients, except the watercress, and remove from the heat.
Arrange the watercress on each of 4 plates and top with the warm salad.

If your regular dentist notices problems with your teeth or jaws that may require treatment, he or she will likely refer you to an orthodontist — a dentist who specializes in diagnosing, preventing and treating dental and facial irregularities.
Most alignment problems become apparent once the permanent teeth begin to come through the gum (erupt). But your orthodontist may recommend waiting until enough teeth have come through before applying braces. Most children get braces between the ages of 8 and 14, while their facial bones are still growing and their teeth are more susceptible to movement.
Preparation for braces generally involves:
- Oral exam. Your orthodontist conducts a full exam of your teeth, jaws and mouth.
- X-rays. You'll get a series of X-rays to determine the position of teeth. The most common is the panoramic X-ray, which shows all the upper and lower teeth in biting position and any teeth still developing within the jaws. Special head X-rays also may help determine the size, position and relationship of jaws to teeth.
- Plaster models. Your orthodontist typically obtains plaster models of your teeth to evaluate your bite. To make an impression of your teeth, you'll be asked to bite into soft material, which will remain on your teeth for a few minutes. From this impression, the orthodontist can create a plaster model of your teeth (dental cast). In some cases, this dental cast may be scanned into a digital format for further evaluation or treatment decisions.
- Potential tooth extraction. If your mouth is very overcrowded, your orthodontist may recommend removing one or more permanent teeth to allow room for the remaining teeth to fit comfortably. In severe cases, where tooth movement alone will not correct a bite that's significantly out of alignment, jaw surgery is required in combination with orthodontics.
After your orthodontist has evaluated your teeth and jaws, he or she customizes a treatment plan for you. This most often involves the use of fixed braces, which are temporarily bonded to your teeth.

How does it work?
There's 50% off Goats and more in our half price gift sale. But don't worry, you won't be giving half a goat. The money donated towards half price Oxfam Unwrapped gifts will be used, whenever possible, to secure donations from a partner of Oxfam thanks to something called co-funding. This means that when you buy a half price gift a partner of Oxfam will donate the other half (or possibly even more).
Some of our partners agree to donate towards our work on the condition that we're able to co-fund a project. For example they might say "we'll pay for 50% of the project, but Oxfam needs to pay for the other 50%". This means that if we can't raise our share of the funding we lose the other 50% from the donors. And that's why your donations are so vital. The money we raise in the half price sale will go towards these co-funded projects, whenever possible, and help us to raise even more donations to support our life-changing work.
Who is the donor?
A range of donors offer co-funding. They include the UK governments Department for International Development, the European Union, as well as private trusts and charitable foundations, to name just a few.
Can you give me an example?
Money raised in last year's gift sale helped to support one of our projects in Niger, helping to make sure that children can access the education they deserve. For every £1 contributed to the project by Oxfam (thanks to the donations given in the half price sale), our partner SIDA contributed another £9!
Terms and conditions
1. We will endeavour to use the income raised from the 50% off sale to enable co-funding. However, in exceptional circumstances, this may not be possible.
2. Income raised from the sale will be spent on the category in accordance with the 'how we spend your money' section [http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/oxfam-unwrapped/how-we-spend-your-money].
3. The offer is for the specified Oxfam Unwrapped gifts only. It does not include other Oxfam Unwrapped gifts, little extras, donated items on the online shop, cards, calendars or diaries.
4. The selected gifts are non-exchangeable with any of our other products from Oxfam's Online Shop.
5. The offer is available for a limited time only: Friday 9 December 2016 – Monday 19 December 2016
6. Available online and by phone only. This offer is not available in our network of Oxfam shops across the UK.
7. The offer is available while stocks last.

The all new Star Performer from the Pimp series is a truly beautiful LED watch design. This is the Pimp watch, re-engineered with a new way to read the time and a sleek, modern look.
Made from solid stainless steel with a double spring clasp and mineral crystal lens, Star Performer features mirrored digits on the face through which LEDs shine to display the time.
Press the button and the lights animate like fireworks before presenting the time, a single digit in each column lighting up to show the time. For example, 1-2-5-3 would be 12:53.
The four icons across the top indicate the mode. From left to right, the icons read: clock, Sun, $ and Martini glass. Press the button to cycle through the modes.
The clock icon means time mode has been selected. If the watch is in 12 hour mode and it is PM then the Martini glass will also light up - this is to indicate drinking time! The Sun icon represents the day and date, the digits 1-7 in the left column indicating the day; Sunday = 1, Monday = 2 etc., the digits in the right two columns indicating the date. The $ icon represents the year, and reminds you to keep making money year after year.
The light-up feature also animates once a minute for 12 minutes after the button is pressed and automatically turns on between 7 pm and 1 am, giving a very cool malfunctioning look, a setting that can't be turned off.
Finished with an IP black coating and available with orange LEDs, you'll be pimpin' in style with your Star Performer. This design was previously available with blue, white and multi-color LEDs.

"It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one's acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times—in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis."

Here's a way to burn some bridges.
Frustrated by a string of job-seeking failures, a St. Louis man decided to let those companies know how he felt by sending them packages of cat poop in the mail, The Associated Press reported.
Investigators connected 20 of the stinky bundles to 58-year-old Jevons Brown.
He was sentenced to two years of probation on Friday after pleading guilty in August to a misdemeanor charge of mailing injurious articles, UPI reported.
"This is not a victimless crime," Assistant U.S. Attorney John Bodenhausen said in court.
Those victims, he said, included the postal workers handling the doo-doo, people whose mail was adjacent to the packages and the people who received them, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Tax bill includes deduction capBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | April 26,2013MONTPELIER The Senate Finance Committee put the finishing touches on a tax bill Thursday that includes new caps on the home mortgage interest deduction.
As committee members touted the fairness and equity that guided their deliberations, real estate agents warned the move could have a chilling effect on a housing market still on the rebound and ding middle-class homeowners who have come to rely on the annual exemption.
The $12,000 mortgage interest cap would account for the lions share of a $10 million revenue package that would also:
Set minimum tax liability for people who make more than $125,000 a year.
Impose a 4 percent excise tax on monthly satellite television bills above $50.
Revoke the sales tax exemption on bottled water.
Eliminate the higher-education tax credit for people making more than $150,000 annually.
Sen. Tim Ashe, a Democrat-Progressive from Chittenden County, has spent much of his first year as chairman of the Finance Committee examining scores of exemptions built into the tax code. Vermont gives away more than $1 billion annually in forgone revenues, and Ashe says some of those tax expenditures may not be yielding sufficient returns.
Specifically, he homed in on a mortgage interest deduction that can be used by wealthy residents of Vermont to write off, for instance, expenses associated with vacation homes in the Bahamas. The miscellaneous tax bill that won a 6-0 vote in Ashes committee contains a provision that would cap the mortgage interest deduction at $12,000.
We believe the lions share of homeowners in this state would not suffer under such a plan, Ashe said Thursday. And what it really does is gets the state and other taxpayers out of the business of subsidizing very large homes owned predominantly by people with the resources to pay for them.
An analysis prepared by the Legislatures Joint Fiscal Office shows that the proposal would affect more than 16,000 filers from across the earning spectrum, and, combined with the minimum tax, bring in about $7.4 million annually.
Middle-class homeowners wouldnt be immune from the effects of the proposal. Nearly 5,000 filers making between $25,000 and $100,000 annually would see their taxes rise by an average of about $150 per year, according to the JFO analysis.
But the impact would be concentrated at the top of the income ladder, where nearly 2,500 filers making more than $200,000 would supply half of the new revenue. The proposal would increase annual tax bills on mortgage holders making more than $300,000 and $1 million per year by an average of about $1,800. Approximately 100 filers with incomes over $1 million would see average annual increases in their tax bill of $10,570.
The proposal would affect fewer than 15 percent of the states nearly 125,000 mortgage holders.
Some homeowners receive tremendous benefit, and some receive none, Ashe said. For us its a fairness issue.
Christopher MacDonald, government affairs director for Vermont Realtors, said capping the mortgage interest deduction could deal a blow to the housing market. Even with the record-low interest rates, MacDonald said, people with less-than-ideal credit ratings are still seeing rates in the 4.3 percent range, meaning that people taking out mortgages as low as $240,000 could run up against the cap.
If youre looking at family looking for a starter home who have worked for years to come up with that down payment and they see theyre going to reach the cap, maybe they would look at less expensive homes, MacDonald said.
He said his trade group is also worried about the impact on existing homeowners. Of the 16,700 mortgage holders that would be affected, one-third have household incomes of less than $100,000.
We already have a property tax increase go through and its kind of hitting these homeowners twice in one year, MacDonald said.
Realtors have a powerful ally in Gov. Peter Shumlin, who said that after passing an increase in the gas tax especially, lawmakers need to steer clear of any other broad-based tax hikes. Shumlin has said taxes on sales, meals and income would come under the broad-based umbrella. The mortgage interest deduction would put upward pressure on income tax bills.
I just dont have very many Vermonters that come up to me and say, Hey, governor, we understand you have to raise the gas tax, but could you please raise every other single broad-based tax before you go home? Shumlin said during a news conference Thursday. Im just not getting that out there.
Ashe said the mortgage interest cap would affect fewer than 5 percent of all Vermont tax filers, a figure he said seems to defy the broad-based label Shumlin has attached to the proposal.
And Ashe said his committees proposal would have the effect of relieving pressure on the 95 percent of taxpayers who wont be hit by the cap.
On the one hand we can say its increasing the tax burden for some Vermonters, Ashe said. But on the other, you can say it relieves tax pressure on all the other Vermont taxpayers.
The revenue bill coming out of Senate Finance this week will raise an estimated $10 million next year less than half what the House version would generate. The lower figure will work only because the Senate Appropriations Committee plan to pare down the spending plan the House approved this year.
Sen. Jane Kitchel, Appropriations chairwoman, said her committee will vote out the budget Monday.
The minimum tax component of the Senate plan would enforce at least a 3 percent effective tax rate for any filer with an adjusted gross income of more than $125,000 per year.
Some wealthy Vermonters do pay very, very high taxes, but one of the dilemmas were facing is there are other very wealthy Vermonters who pay an extremely low percentage of their income in taxes, Ashe said. So were trying to create a fairness standard.
The Senate tax bill also would raise $1.2 million by revoking the sales tax exemption on bottled water and generate $1.4 million with a 4 percent excise tax on satellite television services (the first $50 on a monthly bill would be exempt).
The committee also included a small tax on break-open gambling tickets, to be assessed only on sales from which proceeds do not flow to military service organizations. That provision would raise $400,000 annually, though the committee has directed the money into the education fund.
In approving its revenue package, the Senate panel has rejected most of what came down from the House last month. The House plan would revoke the sales tax exemption on soda, candy, dietary supplements and items of clothing costing more than $110. The House plan also would impose a one-year hike in the meals tax.
The House too looked at the issue of income tax deductions and used a $12,500 cap on itemized deductions to raise more than $30 million in fiscal year 2015.
The Senate proposal raises less than the Houses but expedites the implementation of the deduction by a year, so it generates revenue in time for the fiscal year 2014 budget.

Out of stock items are built on demand. You buy it, we build it. Ships within 5 days.
In stock orders ship same day if received by 4:00 PM Mountain Standard Time!
Is your safari vacation is going to last awhile? Business taking you on the road for an extended trip? The Red Oxx Tri-fold Shaving Toiletry Kit (and Cosmetics Travel Case) is the solution to your need for storing personal hygiene items. Zips open flat using the same heavy-duty YKK #10 size zippers and Fair Trade Monkey's Fist Zip Knots as all our other travel bags.
Conveniently designed to lay flat or hang open, you'll have quick and easy access to your shaving kit, deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, makeup and so on.
Two zippered interior mesh pockets allow your personal items to air dry and a third flip-out privacy pocket to store things that are more personal!
Includes an adjustable release buckle carry strap located inside one of the two full-length exterior zip pockets. Use it to hang your Tri-fold Shave Kit conveniently from tree limbs, hotel racks, vehicle door handles, or doorknobs.
You'll appreciate the handy open access to your grooming gear. Smartly designed with efficiency and practicality in mind, the Tri-fold Shave Kit is the last toiletry bag you will ever have to buy!
Our customers like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around shave kits that weigh 50 tons and have three inches of armor plate, still the comparison is valid. For a shave kit, Tri-folds are built tough. Starting with the most durable soft textile material available, 1000 weight Cordura nylon, we use super strong UV resistant thread that is double stitched into every seam. Rugged, reliable and tough.
Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound, that is, we take a long piece of one inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the bag, or gives it a clean finished look if on the outside of the bag. All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in less expensive shave kits that brag of "binding" their edges.
The reason Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can afford, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your toiletries; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
Because of the nifty nature of the tri-fold hanging design and individual compartments of this shaving kit, with a little imagination you can use it for a number of things. Here's a list of some great ideas we've seen.
