The surgical extrusion technique has proven to be an alternative choice for re-establishing biologic width.1-4 As a treatment procedure, it is fairly easy to perform, reducing the time until prosthetic resolution, while eliciting low root resorption and ankylosis rates.5 The maintenance of the supporting and protecting periodontal tissues makes this technique an alternative approach, within the domain of periodontal therapy, to the subgingival tooth fracture, deep caries, root perforations in the cervical third, and all tooth involvements that violate the biologic width.2 This technique permits the direct inspection of the root, enabling the presence of any such cracks to be detected, and offers to a practitioner who has visually examined the root, easing the decision regarding the most suitable course of treatment, and thereby improving prognosis. Similarly, the intentional replantation has been an alternative management for cases in which intracanal and surgical endodontic treatments are not recommended.6-8 The success of these procedures is dependent upon a minimally traumatic extraction and short extraoral time for maintaining the vital periodontal ligament and cementum, and to prevent root resorption.5,9-11
The present case report describes a single-stage combined approach involving endodontic treatment, surgical extrusion, and socket debridement for the reestablishment of biologic width and periapical healing.
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
A healthy 35-year-old white woman presented with a severe tooth destruction of the right second mandibular premolar and missing the first molar (Figures 1 and 2). No periodontal disease and no painful symptomatology were evident. The radiographic image depicted a biologic width that was compromised by the subgingival root remnant due to caries. No previous endodontic treatment and discreet root resorption at the apex were seen associated with the radiolucent periapical lesion (Figure 3). Nevertheless, the patient sought to restore proper function and appearance to the premolar.

The patient was informed about the treatment options, such as endodontic treatment associated to the surgical crown lengthening with osteotomy or orthodontic extrusion, a single-stage combined approach involving endodontic treatment, or surgical extrusion and socket debridement. The advantages and disadvantages of the treatment options were explained to the patient.
With the patient's consent, a single-stage combined approach was planned. This option was chosen due to the reduced treatment time, but also to preserve the attachment level.
Treatment Protocol
After basic periodontal treatment, a proper endodontic treatment was performed with root canal sealer (AH plus [DENTSPLY DeTrey]) and gutta-percha points (Gutta Percha Points [DENTSPLY]) using the lateral compaction technique. Overfilling of the obturation material was purposely achieved. Under local anesthesia, the surgical extrusion was then performed, as previously described.2 The initial incision was made using a sharp No. 15 C blade, followed by gentle luxation with a periotome and tooth avulsion using pedodontic forceps. Care was taken during the surgical procedure so no bone loss would occur. The avulsed tooth was inspected under the surgical microscope for root fractures, and excess material extruding beyond the apical foramen was then removed with surgical scissors. The periodontal ligament adjacent to the root was kept intact and not manipulated (Figure 4). Before tooth replantation, meticulous socket debridement was performed using a surgical spoon curette. The stabilization of the root in the new desired position (3 mm coronally out of the socket) was accomplished by use of an interdental suture (4.0 Vicryl [Ethicon]) and splints. A surgical dressing was not applied over the root (Figure 5). The patient received routine postsurgical instructions to use a 0.12% chlorhexidine mouthrinse (Periogard [Colgate-Palmolive]) twice daily; and 400 mg ibuprofen, 3 times daily for 2 days.
Two months later, the periodontal ligament was consistent with a healthy functional state and the supra-alveolar root surface, allowing room for biologic width reconstruction, was noted (Figure 6). For this, a conventional cast metal alloy post and core and definitive metal-ceramic crown were fabricated and cemented with a zinc phosphate cement. During the follow-up visit (one year later), a stable crown position with good function and healthy gingival tissue were observed (Figure 7). The radiographic evaluation showed a functional periodontal ligament and healing of the radiolucent periapical lesion, with no signs of resorption or ankylosis (Figure 8).

|Figure 8. Radiograph at one year after final restoration.
The basic principle of the surgical extrusion is to move the affected tooth area to a supragingival position, leaving sound tooth structure exposed supra-alveolarly and providing room for the reestablishment of the biologic width. Previous reports have confirmed the successful management of the surgical extrusion technique.1-4 The present single-stage combined approach was more beneficial regarding the number of required procedures and it was a relatively easy treatment that has shortened the time until the prosthetic solution. However, the disadvantages of the surgical extrusion could be related to the risk for root fracture during the surgical management and root resorption. The fracture risk was eliminated by careful surgical handling, and the risk of root resorption was reduced by preserving the vitality of the periodontal ligament, which is reported to be a critical factor for preventing root resorption and ankylosis after replantation.9-11 Moreover, to reduce the risk of root resorption, splinting was not performed. Root movement in the socket can play an important role in preventing the ankylosis process.12-14 Recently, the experimental study in dogs showed that the surgical extrusion elicited low root resorption and ankylosis rates. The different areas of resorption observed did not cause sufficient morphologic/functional damage and all the resorption gaps presented were repaired by new cementum and a new functional periodontal ligament.5 Nevertheless, the final restoration promoted great satisfaction from the patient, and one-year monitoring shows the ability of the periodontium to adapt function, aesthetic recovery, and periapical healing.
A single-stage combined approach involving endodontic treatment, surgical extrusion, and socket debridement can be a useful means of successfully treating teeth with an invasion of biologic width and apical periodontitis, and this technique may allow a reduction in treatment time.

The New York Jets officially released three veterans -- NT Kris Jenkins, LB Jason Taylor and RT Damien Woody -- Tuesday, a day after the planned moves were first reported.
"I had an absolute ball in New York," Jenkins, who's missed 25 games over the past two seasons with knee injuries, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
"I don't know what the future holds for my career as of yet, but I am in great spirits and still rehabbing to give it one more shot if possible. I just appreciated the opportunity I was given."
LB/DE Vernon Gholston remains on the roster -- for now -- even though his spot could also be tenuous.
Some of the players who were cut may eventually be re-signed at lower salaries, though Taylor and Jenkins have pondered retirement.
In addition, LB David Harris signed his franchise tag tender today.
The Jets have also placed qualifying restricted tender offers on a slew of potential free agents: CB Antonio Cromartie (first-, third-round), WR Santonio Holmes (first-, third-round), WR Brad Smith (second round), S Eric Smith (third round), QB Kellen Clemens (third round), CB Drew Coleman (sixth round), K Nick Folk (sixth round), S/ST James Ihedigbo (right of first refusal) and OL Rob Turner (ROFR).
The tenders may or may not stick pending the outcome of the ongoing CBA negotiations between the league and players union.
Holmes and fellow WR Braylon Edwards, who will almost certainly gain unfettered free agency, are viewed as top offseason priorities.

Kick Butt Chili Lime Rub – This is an awesome rub. The weather in Georgia has been great for barbecue. If there's one thing my family loves to do, it's step outside and grill up some great meat products. We eat the good stuff too, so if we're going to put something on it, it has to measure up. A good rub should not cover up the flavor of good steak, ribs, chicken, or fish. It should enhance.
Kick Butt Chili Lime Rub does just that. I have only one complaint and I'll get that out of the way first. There could have been a slight bit less salt and a little more lime, but hey, that might just be me. I like the taste of lime, and believe me, it's in here. Along with the lime comes a dose of chili powder (for the kick in Kick Butt), brown sugar, salt, garlic, onion, and tomato powder.
Sunday barbecue dinner: ribs, hamburgers, potato salad, cole slaw, and some Kick Butt Chili Lime Rub. I let my brother-in-law apply the rub while I blended some barbecue sauce. He threw the ribs in the oven for fifteen minutes just to let them warm up and absorb the rub, then out to the barbecue grill they went.
Everybody loved the ribs. The flavor of this rub really complements the meat. It isn't overpowering (even with the salt). The ribs were juicy and dripping with flavor. I'm not even sure anybody used the barbecue sauce. When a rub is as good as Kick Butt Chili Lime Rub, no sauce is necessary. This is truly the kind of balance you should look for when you select a rub for your barbecue. If it doesn't deliver the way this Kick Butt does, with bold taste that brings out the natural flavor of the meat, don't bother.

Simon Cowell has been bossing people about on TV singing shows for more than a decade now so how is it that we have never actually heard him sing?
Well that could all be about to change, because during a recent audition session for The X Factor USA he took a mic and crooned for the crowd and his fellow judges seem to think he was pretty good.
The music mogul was in Denver for what he later described as being the 'worst day' of tryouts ever and in a teaser for the new series he is urged to showcase his own vocal skills, when one older man takes to the stage and sings with what sounds like a British accent.
Demi Lovato starts the joking when she tells the tuneless hopeful that he sounds like what she imagine Simon sounds like when singing. The young star tried to persuade Cowell to join in and though he refused, the crew started the backing music again, while Kelly Rowland rushed to the stage to grab a mic and deliver it to her boss.
It seems that SiCo really did sing along, but unfortunately the scene is cut from the video with Cowell later joking 'that will never air.' We are hoping he's wrong, because let's face it, that could be a great ratings draw.
Backstage, Simon comments that he was merely impersonating another singer, which doesn't actually count as singing in his own right, however Demi insists:
"I think it's charming, but he wants to be modest about his incredible vocal."
Paulina Rubio agrees with her young co-star, adding:
"He did it great."
Kelly teases:
"I knew that voice was always there."
Despite moaning about Denver in the video below, Simon was slightly more positive when he tweeted about the auditions last night. He said:
"Denver was great. Auditions…fantastic. Strange. Weird. But overall we had a great time and found some potential stars."
However he had more to worry about than what people thought of his singing and added:
"And when I land in la straight to the dentists. Gulp"
"The X Factor USA" will premiere Wednesday, September 11 at 8 P.M. Are you excited? Leave your comments below…

Options for my own Packages?
Can I create and use options in my own packages? I've seen comments in the
help documentation that say "built-in functions" have options. Here's an
example of what I want. I created a class called curveGrid, which has data
and methods for generating a coordinate grid defined by a mapping function
passed to the constructor. I would like to be able to set an option that
changed the default color of all instances of this class.
Is there a way to accomplish this so that I can do something like

|Brief Summary
|This study combines nelfinavir (NFV) with radiation therapy and chemotherapy as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are considered candidates for pre-operative treatment.
|Detailed Description
|This is a phase 2 trial of the HIV protease inhibitor (HPI) Nelfinavir (NFV) in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are considered candidates for pre-operative treatment. This study is to be conducted according to US and international standards of Good Clinical Practice (FDA Title 21 part 312 and International Conference on Harmonization guidelines), applicable government regulations and Institutional research policies and procedures. The endpoints are to determine safety of NFV with chemoradiation, gather preliminary data for response, and tissue specimens for correlative molecular studies. Unacceptable toxicity is unlikely as prior studies have determined dosing 1250 mg twice a day is relatively safe for HIV patients receiving radiation therapy. NFV will start one week prior to chemo-radiotherapy and continue for the duration of chemoradiation (approximately 6 1/2 weeks). Standard radiotherapy (minimum total dose 5040 cGy) and combined (cisplatin/etoposide) chemotherapy based on SWOG 8805 will be delivered in combination with NFV. The thoracic surgery attending physician will determine the feasibility of resection. If the patient has resectable disease, the attending thoracic surgeon will perform the thoracotomy and anatomical resection. If the patient has unresectable disease, subject will be followed for 30 days post NFV administration. After the initial 30 days post-NFV, subjects will be followed for long-term outcomes (disease response and overall survival). Adjuvant therapy may be continued off-study at the discretion of managing oncology personnel. Tumors obtained at the time of surgical resection will be assessed for pathological response. Tumor tissue taken pre-treatment will be assessed for markers that may predict response such as Akt, VEGF, and EGFR.

Home > News & Events > News > Press Releases > Harvard Kennedy School Establishes the Jerome H. Grossman, M.D. Graduate Fellowship for Physicians Committed to Improving Health Care Delivery
Cambridge, Mass. – Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) today announced the creation of the Jerome H. Grossman, M.D. Graduate Fellowship for physicians committed to shaping health care delivery policy in the U.S. The program seeks to build on the life and legacy of the late Dr. Grossman, who was head of the Kennedy School's Health Care Delivery Policy Program from 2001-2008.
"With the country actively engaged in reining in the costs of delivering health care for all, our family is deeply committed to supporting the next generation of physicians who will carry on Jerry's work," said Dr. Grossman's wife, Barbara.
A gift of $1 million from the Grossman family will fund the Grossman Fellowship, covering tuition, fees, and stipends for licensed physicians or medical students admitted to pursue either the Master in Public Policy or Master in Public Administration degree at HKS. The program is intended to support 14 fellows over a period of eight years, and will encourage broader engagement through seminars, lectures, and symposia on the topic of health care delivery policy. HKS anticipates the inaugural Grossman Fellows will arrive on campus for the 2014-15 academic year.
"We are grateful to the Grossman family for their generosity," said David Ellwood, the Scott M. Black Professor of Political Economy and Dean of HKS. "At an absolutely critical moment in health policy, the Grossman Fellowship will create exciting new opportunities for a cohort of Kennedy School students who are committed to improving health care outcomes through a powerful combination of medical expertise and a nuanced understanding of public policy."
Over a career spanning 42 years, Dr. Grossman worked as a primary care physician, director of ambulatory care at Massachusetts General Hospital, CEO of Tufts Medical Center, and founder of two medical information technology companies, Meditech and Transition Systems Inc. Throughout his career, he remained committed to finding innovative ways to improve efficiency, ultimately improving care and reducing costs.

Andy Scott has begun the process of re-building his Aldershot Town squad for next season by releasing four more fringe first-team players.
The Shots boss sprung a surprise by not offering a new contract to popular striker Bradley Bubb last week, as he set about beginning his summer clear-out early to prepare for another assault on the Skrill Premier next term.
And he followed that up on Tuesday by announcing that fellow striker Matt Paterson, veteran midfielder Martin Rowlands and youngsters Bobby Webbe and goalkeeper Luke Williams would follow him out of the ESS Stadium revolving door.
At the same time, however, the manager has opened talks with a number of last season's squad to negotiate terms for next term, including 28-goal top scorer Brett Williams and Player of the Year, Chris Barker.
Of those released this week, Rowlands is perhaps the highest-profile having made 30 appearances for the Shots this season at the age of 35, without really showing the form which made him such a fans' favourite in his prime at QPR and Brentford.
Striker Paterson is another summer recruit who failed to carry on his early-season promise, alongside Williams up front, and was farmed out on loan to Havant & Waterlooville towards the end of the campaign.
Scott's attentions now turn towards the players he aims to retain this summer with much-vaunted Williams and defender Barker top of his priority list.
Williams has been watched by a number of top clubs this season, including MK Dons, on his way to becoming the Skrill Premier's third top scorer, but both he and Barker have nailed their colours to the mast by triggering renewal clauses in their existing contracts which will keep them at Aldershot Town until 2015.
Popular midfielder Mark Molesley has a similar option which he is currently considering, while negotiations are also also under way to retain goalkeeper Glenn Morris, defenders Joe Oastler, Jaydon Gibbs and Anthony Tonkin, captain Craig Stanley, wingers Jordan Roberts and Adam Mekki, and striker Josh Scott.

While just a sophomore, Turlock High pitcher Shelby Frutoz has already proved she is one of the area's rising stars.
There was a total of 14 high schools that competed in Saturday's Stanislaus County Meet from Johansen High and after the day of swimming concluded Turlock High's boys (238.5) and girls (251) finished in second place, respectively, while the Pitman girls placed fourth.
The race for the Central California Conference title is heating up for local boys tennis teams and after Tuesday's results the standings look clearer.
The Turlock varsity softball team handed El Capitan High their biggest defeat of the year in Tuesday's home Central California Conference battle.
The first Central California Conference Center meet of the season took place Wednesday, and while plenty of Turlock and Pitman high school stars finished at the top of their races, only the Turlock varsity girls were able to take the top spot.
Turlock High School pitcher Dallin Tilby had a good feeling about Friday afternoon's league opener against Merced High School before he even stepped on the mound for the Bulldogs.
Jaydon Williams of Turlock and Pitman High's Kaylin Randhawa are travel ball teammates outside of their respective high school basketball teams and they are also the 2016-17 Turlock Journal Co-Players of the Year.
The high school basketball season ended nearly the same, but the journey taken by Kole Gaglio of Hilmar and Chance Browning of Delhi was very different.
Hilmar High's varsity boys volleyball team isn't having your typical inaugural season-they are winning a lot more than losing.
League play began this week for both the Turlock and Pitman High boys golf teams and the anticipation could not have been higher in the Central California Conference.
Pitman and Turlock high's boys tennis teams each battled in the Central California Conference on Thursday, one notching a win and one a loss, but both teams are now equal in league standings as they prepare to face each other next week.
The Turlock High softball team is off to the program's best start in over a decade after the Bulldogs defeated Buhach Colony 7-4 on Thursday afternoon.
It's still early into the baseball season, but the Hilmar varsity squad seems to have finally picked up some momentum and gotten into their groove after beating an undefeated Franklin of Stockton team on Wednesday night in a convincing 9-4 victory.
League play kicked off on Wednesday for the Turlock Christian baseball team and the Eagles didn't disappoint when they hosted Stone Ridge Christian High from the Pedretti Sports Complex.
The start of league is right around the corner for Delhi and Denair's varsity softball teams.

Humans Meant to Run Long Distances
Published November 2nd, 2009
Loading Video...
An American man won the New York City Marathon this weekend for the first time in 27 years. Meb Keflezighi won by 41 seconds with a personal best time of 2:09:15. He was born in Africa and became an American citizen in 1998.
All 44,000 runners in the race can feel justifiably proud of their accomplishment, but there's evidence that, to our ancestors, a 26.2-mile run was no big deal.
As Jeremy Hubbard reports, when it comes to running, humans may be the king of beasts.

This Mortal Kombat Flipbook is Probably the Coolest One You've Seen [Video]
I'll admit I am not the biggest gamer in the world (not even close). I don't own a fancy gaming system, just a Wii from about 2005. And even if I did, I couldn't play the cool games…first-person shooters almost make me vomit. But back in the day I was all about some Mortal Kombat!
Many an hour were killed back in college while my roommates and I played MK, at first on the Sega and then on the Super NES. Am I showing my age here? Regardless, I had a blast playing it. Me and my buddies all went to the theater to see the MK movie. It was a big deal.
Even though I don't any of the various game versions anymore, I still have a special place in my heart for Mortal Kombat. So I'm always curious when I see some sort of MK video online. I honestly don't know how I found this video, it was situations when you go to YouTube for something and then five clicks later you are watching something else totally unrelated. Anyhoo, I found this. It's two classic MK characters (Jax and Shang Tsung) duking it out in a hand-drawn flipbook, along with the classic audio and SFX. It's really impressive. Hope you enjoy.

Hi all!
This is not a proper bug or fix, it's more an enhancement but I think this category would suit as well
The problem: BT3 runs on the eeePC but hardware support is far from perfect. No acpi, no hotkeys, no webcam support. The wifi is properly setup but you've to turn it on and off from BIOS, which is quite awkward.
The solution: I've released an lzm complete with sources and SlackBuilds over at http://sid77.slackware.it/bt3/
This module includes acpi support already set up with events and actions, uvcview webcam module, synaptics touchpad driver and custom xorg.conf and rc.modules for the eeePC.
I'm currently runnning bt3 final live+changes from the eeePC ssd, whatever way you're booting it, just save the module into /optional folder and add it to the "load=" section of your syslinux.cfg. Another important tip, which is not included for obvious reasons, is to append the "combined_mode=libata" to the kernel parameter list if you want to get the maximum speed from your eeePC ssd.
Enjoy the module and report back any problems or issues
"Whatever happened to playing a hunch, Scully? The element of surprise, random acts of unpredictability? If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen or expect the unexpected in a universe of infinite possibilities, we may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that cannot be programmed, categorized or easily referenced."
thanks for the link ;-)
I'll edit the original post once I get the needed post count
Received this pm today:
Question: Does this lzm fix the battery issue?
Answer: No it doesn't as it's not a real issue ;-) the problem relies on the application which polls the acpi stats and wrongly computes the remaining time. Displayed remaining percentage is correct. Under Ubuntu and GNOME the "fix" is to disable the low battery warning, it can be applied here as well.
EeePC 70x enhancing module: http//sid77.slackware.it/bt3/
sid77, I tried your .lzm just to see what happened and X wouldnt start after i inserted the .lzm. Anyway just wanted to make sure people back up their xorg.conf or know how to create a new one if they decide to use this.
this is strange: I'm just using the file provided by bt3 xorg autoconf with the support for synaptics drivers added by me.
by the way, did you also use the provided rc.modules? synaptics drivers are quite picky when it comes to handling the mouse :-P
the shipped config file is located here: http://sid77.slackware.it/bt3/repo/s...iles/xorg.conf could you check against it?
EeePC 70x enhancing module: http//sid77.slackware.it/bt3/
It´t working for me on my 701, just droped the lzm in modules and booted bt3 from my sd card, now I can enable and disable wireless and also se a graf when adjusting brightnes.
I´m on sd card, live bt3 install with save changes.
thanks for trying it out, micked
EeePC 70x enhancing module: http//sid77.slackware.it/bt3/
...great stuff sid77 ...this is what every BT+eee user should put in the modules
...tell me, how to boot with "combined_mode=libata" parameter ...i mean how exactly?
as the configuration file is locate at /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg this can be done only on rw media like a usb stick or a live+changes installation on your ssd. if you boot from a cdrom (less likely from an eeepc) you've to remaster the iso or add it manually at each boot.
if you've done a real install, edit your bootloader configuration file.

SAN FRANCISCO — Ecast, a leading provider of digital music to downloading jukeboxes, reported that its recent sales promotion awarded more than $2 million in free jukebox hardware to music vendors nationwide. The "Get One Free" jukebox promotion, which ran from January 1 through March 31, triggered one of the strongest quarterly expansions in the digital music category, and is being followed by a similar promotion that kicked off on April 1.
"This was Ecast's most successful sales promotion ever, with over 170 operators from across the country participating and more than 1,500 jukeboxes shipped by our partners," said Bob Cooney, Ecast's vice-president of manufacturing business development.
The digital music provider's partners include Rock-Ola Manufacturing, NSM Music and View Interactive Entertainment, all manufacturers of digital jukeboxes that are compatible with the Ecast network. Both NSM and View have been marketing conversion kits that enable vendors to update legacy compact disc jukes to touchscreen, Internet-enabled music systems.
The Ecast vice-president noted that some existing digital music operators took advantage of the two-for-one opportunity by purchasing as many as 50 conversion kits for the cost of 25. However, the most striking result of the promotion, he underscored, was that 100 operators signed on to become Ecast subscribers for the first time.
Rock-Ola's president, John Schultz, added that the first quarter's "Get One Free" promotion was a compelling incentive, reducing the price of a Rock-Star, one of Rock-Ola's digital models, equipped with a 900W. Peavey amplifier, to just $3,600.
"This promotion was not only directed to customers who could put out a lot of units like past Ecast promotions," Schultz said, "It really created an opportunity for everyone to get on the Ecast platform. We had one operator purchase 100 units, and we saw a ton of repeat sales, so obviously it was meaningful to operators."
NSM's vice-president of operations, Tony Lantz, said his company had to work overtime to keep up with demand for its Evolution conversion kit. "With the Ecast promotion, you could upgrade an old NSM box to an almost entirely brand new Ecast-powered digital for $1,750."
A specialist in conversion products for legacy CD equipment, View is reporting hundreds of kit giveaways fueled by the first-quarter promotion. Rick Caviglia, the company's president, described the Ecast program as "an exciting and affordable way for operators to turn their CD jukeboxes into broadband money-makers." View's JukeBoost line of conversion kits updates some of Rowe International's most popular floor models – in the A/B, C/D, E, CD-51 and Eagle classes – along with Rowe's second-generation wall-mounting jukeboxes.
Ecast bankrolled this promotion, and others like it, to help its manufacturer partners remain competitive, and to grow the number of jukebox clients connected to its location-based entertainment network,where it generates recurring revenue. Cooney told VT that there will be close to 8,000 jukebox clients, after they all report in, connected to the network at the end this year's first quarter.
Ecast and its partners are hoping to continue their first-quarter successes with a second-quarter promotion that they say will allow large operators to "go all Ecast" more quickly and economically than ever. Called "Get Free Jukes," the program also is designed to win over music operators who have not yet acquired and deployed digital jukebox equipment and service, which – on the Ecast network – is generating $300 weekly per jukebox.
Similar in the incentive structure to its first-quarter predecessor, "Get Free Jukes" awards one free conversion kit for every dedicated model or kit purchased; it also awards one free dedicated digital model for every two purchased. New products included in the program are Rock-Ola's Fireball conversion kit, which was recently introduced, and NSM's Chameleon jukebox.
"Due to the overwhelming success of Ecast's recent 'Get One Free' promo, our partners convinced us to keep it going for one more quarter, starting April 1." Cooney said. "And we have sweetened the pot this time around."
For its part, NSM is offering a free Evolution CD-to-Ecast conversion to operators who purchase its new Chameleon, Nostalgia or Phoenix jukeboxes, or the Evolution kit. A new incentive for the second quarter rewards operators who make two purchases with two free Evolution kits or a free Chameleon.
Operators who purchase any two Rock-Ola digital jukeboxes or its new conversion kits will receive a free Rock-Star jukebox. The new promotion awards operators who purchase any one Rock-Ola digital jukebox or kit with the option to receive one of the Fireball conversions, which upgrade Rock-Ola's CD lines – except for the CD-9000 model – to Ecast-powered downloading systems. The manufacturer said the promotion could be combined with its 7.99% financing program available through Firestone Financial Corp.
Music operators who are considering updating their Rowe CD equipment with View's versatile JukeBoost kits will be aided by the "Get Free Jukes" program, which awards a free conversion kit for every purchase.
"With these powerful promotions, the prices of Ecast-powered jukeboxes are as low as they have ever been," said Ecast's director of sales, Steven Kellam. He points out that the program reduces the Rock-Star's cost to under $3,700 and a JukeBoost kit to $1,350.
Ecast has placed no limit on the number of times the "Get Free Jukes" program can be used for units purchased by June 30, but will not allow it to be combined with other Ecast-specific sales promotions. Information is available by calling (866) HI-ECAST (866-443-2278) and entering option five for sales.

Mr. Dembosky says objectors to the left's programs should kowtow because elections and polls support that position. He is wrong. We are an intentionally created constitutional republic because the Founders knew that in a democracy tyranny of the majority is a real and present threat.
The example used by Benjamin Franklin was that of two wolves and a sheep voting on which was to be lunch. The modern equivalent is that of the 99 percent voting on whether the 1 percent is going to pay for the lunch.
In a constitutional republic, we are governed by the Constitution and laws that implement it. The three branches and the public were each designed to prevent the tyranny of any, and that includes the public.
Dembosky is correct that the Republicans don't give a hoot what the majority (and I would remind him that the majority is slim within the population, and not in his favor in the House) want. The Senate majority is hell-bent on promulgating their agenda of taxing the minority to buy votes from a majority. It may win elections, but it does not change the Constitution.
Senate Democrats flout the law that requires them to pass an annual budget — and have done so since 2008. The Republican minority objects on principle and on law, and they use the lawful tools at their disposal, one of which is filibuster. The Republican House passes bills that support conservative views. The Senate stonewalls the bills, not even debating them. This is disrespectful of the House, and even more infuriating to Republicans than mere filibuster is to Democrats.
Dembosky blames conservatives for congressional impasse. He is wrong again. Impasse only occurs when neither side yields, and the left has not only demonstrated its unwillingness to compromise, but its disregard for its legal responsibility.
To what conservatives consider Republican shame they compromised principle on increased taxation to avoid the fiscal cliff in January. The Democrats yielded nothing. The sequester came, and still Democrats yielded nothing, while demonizing Republicans and punishing the public by deliberately sabotaging prominent services to elicit support for more spending. Callously, the President directed the operation while hypocritically spending gazillions on golfing with Tiger Woods and spendthrift programs, while keeping aloof from the congressional impasse in a pusillanimous attempt to evade responsibility.
His recent "charm offensive" is nothing but image damage-control, photo-ops and absenteeism.

For me its a combination of things it started out as a cookbook to give to my soon to be daughter-in-law. In each part I have recipes and ideas for inexpensives ways to do things. Also family photos and suggestion from everyone from Great Grandma(we're lucky to have her around and still sharp as a tack) to the far flung relatives.
My second cousin who added a few items has asked for copies of sopme of the parts for a similar cookbook for her future dil.
Alot of the ideas and suggestions may sound simple and common to you or I but to alot of young folks who don't live with moms who cook or are frugal its virgin terriory. My future dil didn't know how to plan out a weeks menu ti we sat down on day and I was making out mine. Her mom always stopped on the way home and bought what ever or they went out. (Now I know why the word has come back to me that they can't afford the big wedding she wants!)

Strugglers fear being spoon fed
The Sun-Herald
Page Tools
A loss last night to the Sharks would have put the Roosters in contention for the wooden spoon for the first time since 1966 when the side failed to win a game all season.
Instead, amazingly, their 14-8 win means they are still mathematically a chance of making the finals - albeit a slim one. They now sit on 22 points - just two wins outside the top eight with three rounds remaining.
Now just three teams can collect the spoon - the Panthers, Rabbitohs and Knights. And with those teams playing like they have nothing to lose, the race for the spoon has become as intriguing as the bid for the top eight.
The Rabbitohs have won four of their past five games after their victory against Canberra last night. And the Knights - dead certainties to collect the spoon a few weeks ago - are storming home with four wins from their past five.
Penrith have won their past two, against the Roosters and Warriors, and with the bye this week will be on 20 points.
Panthers halfback Preston Campbell said his team's desire to avoid the wooden spoon had provided motivation for their wins in the past two weeks.
"There were stages where we were losing games we should have won and when it was coming towards the end of the season and we were still losing games we realised the wooden spoon was close by, and I think that's part of the reason we're going so well now," Campbell said.
"It was 2001 when we got it last, two years later we won the comp, so two years on we don't want the spoon again. It's a bit of an incentive to keep playing hard. It's not just for pride, but that's got a lot to do with it."
Souths second-rower Bryan Fletcher said the club was desperate to avoid picking up the spoon for the third year in a row, although it remained an unspoken thing among the players.
"We haven't spoken about getting it or not, but all the players know where we are on the ladder and no one wants the wooden spoon," Fletcher said.
But the 31-year-old, who is leaving Souths next year for Wigan, said it was the excitement about their prospects next year rather than the fear of the wooden spoon that was providing their motivation.

Red, I didn't know who they were either until I gathered information online and from speaking directly to them. Carl actually grew up 20 miles from here and I had no idea. None of that qualifies him as a holster maker per your standards, but the quality and craftsmanship of his work, does, IMO.
I based my purchasing decision more on opinions from others that do own their work under the former name and some that own their products under the Exodus label. After all, most forum members can only go by what they read on forums before trying something new. I took the plunge and don't regret it one bit.
As a respected and well-known leather craftsman, your opinion that their work is "v good" means something. Maybe that qualifies them at least a little bit. :)

In the 1980s, the fat-free craze exploded — everyone thought as long as they avoided fat they would be home free. What most people did not realize was that foods without fat DO have calories and are mostly high in sugar.
Healthy bones
- Sex hormones are made of fat. If you don't have enough fat in your diet, it may compromise getting your period, which protects your bones from softening (osteopenia) or osteoporosis in the future.
Translation – If you want to have healthy bones in your later years, eating healthy fats (like nuts and avocado) is important.
- Fat in the diet helps give you shiny hair and smooth skin. If you do not consume enough good fat, your hair and skin could be dry.
Translation – Let's face it — we all want to have great hair and skin. If you're skimping on the good fat, you may not be looking your best.
- If you eat your veggies without fat, it is hard to absorb the great nutrients in them. You actually need fat to absorb vitamins A, E, D, and K, as well as other substances in plants known as phytochemicals – nutrients that prevent health problems like cancer or heart disease.
Translation – Have some olive oil on that broccoli!
- Since 60 percent of the dry weight of your brain is fat, having enough good fat is essential to clear thinking. I call it "eating from the brain down." Balance in the body starts with feeding the brain what it needs.
Translation – if you "starve" your brain, it won't serve you well, which is not good for any situation – work or romantic

When do you check your emails?
Poll Archives
Obviously, you want to find the best uni for you, but which is best for the planet? Now students can think about the impact on the environment when choosing where to study thanks to the new Green League, compiled by People and Planet, a student campaign network.
In the hope of pushing a few unis into being a bit more environmentally friendly, the League shows which are as green as Kermit's love-child and which are stamping a carbon footprint with oversized Doc Martens.
Nottingham Trent got the biggest pat on the back, with LSE not far behind. Meanwhile the poor environmental record of Royal College of Music and Lampeter means they fail miserably to qualify for a green mortarboard.
Universities are given a ranking from a First to a Fail based on eleven factors, including the number of staff devoted to managing environmental impact, how much waste they chuck out and what types of energy they use. The results show that many unis have bucked their ideas up when it comes to loving the planet. There are more environmental managers than ever before and the number of ethical investment policies has doubled.
Also, more universities were keen to get involved and show off their tree-hugging credentials. Of the 131 universities eligible for inclusion, 127 provided enough information to be ranked in the League.
Disappointingly, universities well-known for their research into sustainability and climate change turned out to be better at lecturing the rest of us than learning the lessons themselves. For example, the University of Oxford, home to the Environmental Change Institute and the School of Enterprise & The Environment, ranked just 84th in the league.
While many universities are taking steps to be more environmental aware, a lot more still needs to be done. Ian Leggett, Director of People and Planet, congratulated all the unis which were awarded "a first class degree", but warned that "the 2009 Green League makes it crystal clear too many universities have failed to recognise the importance of becoming a model low carbon institution".
