a good suggestion to be taken seriously
Allow me to humbly submit a site suggestion. While all of the moderators here at the DIY Chatroom do a fantastic job, please consider designating me as moderator of the Off Topic forum. Obviously, I am intelligent, and I believe that I would be fair, impartial, and judicious in moderating the forum and arbitrating disagreements among members.
I realize that, generally, members are invited to be moderators; however, I cannot imagine that I would receive such an invitation any time soon. Please forgive this one time breach in site protocol and consider my suggestion.
:laughing: :no: :whistling2: :eek: :laughing: :help: :confused1:
:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing: :laughing:
:eek::eek::whistling2::eek:---The Twilight Zone---
Well, I see that the usual peanut gallery has once again decided to chime-in and attempt make a buffoon out of me. And I see that you used those little emoticons rather than the English language. I suppose this is to be expected, sadly. Too bad.
Rather than engage you folks, I just want to reiterate that I think I would make a good Off Topic moderator. I am highly educated and am becoming a more accomplished do-it-yourselfer by the day. I have learned a lot from the discussion on here, and other members have learned quite a lot from me, as well. For proof, look no further than the Landscaping, Flooring, Painting, and Safety forums, and, more recently, I branched out into the Electrical Forum where I advised someone to contact his condominium association regarding some potentially hazardous exposed wiring.
I believe that the other moderators on the DIY Chatroom do a first-rate job. This post is not meant to be taken as a shot against them. I am stating, however, that there is room for one more.
Thank you.

A Rule Aimed at Warlords Upends African Mines
Michael Loch's job has just become much more complicated. In the past year, the director of supply chain corporate responsibility for Motorola Solutions has made two trips to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where rebel groups and government forces have been locked in a 15-year-long war that has killed millions and created a huge humanitarian crisis. Last month, Loch journeyed to a mine in southern Katanga province to comply with a new U.S. regulation that will soon require companies such as Motorola Solutions, Advanced Micro Devices, and Apple to make sure purchases of minerals commonly used to make electronic gear and gadgets—tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold—don't financially benefit Congolese warlords.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is still drafting the regulation, a corporate social responsibility provision buried in the Dodd-Frank financial reform law (it's right there in section 1502). It is expected to take effect later this year. However, the rule is already creating headaches for U.S. companies and is pulverizing Central Africa's mining sector as companies delay purchases until they can vouch for the minerals. Loch traveled with Katanga's local mining minister to certify that tantalum from the mine that Motorola Solutions, a maker of communications equipment for governments and businesses, wants to purchase was in no way connected to the Congo's armed conflict. Production at the mine had all but stopped, idling workers who dig for ore with hand tools. "This was a non-conflict mine in a non-conflict area, but it was being harmed by the U.S. legislation," Loch says.
American executives are trying to figure out how best to comply with the new regulation. This month chipmaker AMD was set to tell suppliers they have two weeks to prove the solder (alloys used to fuse metal parts), capacitors, and diodes they supply to make its semiconductors aren't being made with minerals from military-controlled mines in the Congo. "We've never tried this before," says Tim Mohin, director of corporate responsibility at AMD and the official responsible for the survey. "You have to do some sleuthing down the supply chain." Business lobbying groups are upset about the cost of gathering such data. "This has started to spread compliance costs and burdens throughout the economy, upon hundreds of thousands of businesses," says Tom Quaadman, vice-president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Center for Capital Markets Competitiveness. The National Association of Manufacturers estimates the Dodd-Frank provision could cost companies between $9 billion and $16 billion to implement. The SEC puts the cost at around $71 million a year.
Given the expected regulatory hassles, companies are looking for mineral supplies in more stable countries. Legal exports (as opposed to black market transactions) of the minerals from the Congo, which supplies 13 percent of the world's supply of tantalum, dropped more than 90 percent in April from a month earlier, according to the latest data. "Almost everything came to a standstill," says Paul Yenga Mabolia, head of Promines, a World Bank program assisting the mining industry in Congo.
One beneficiary of the Dodd-Frank rule may be Australian miner Global Advanced Metals, which reopened a tantalum mine this year, says Chief Executive Officer Bryan Ellis. "When I mine, I have a direct relationship with one or two layers of the supply chain." That's in contrast with the variety of miners, middlemen, traders, and customs officials in Congo, Ellis says.
Meanwhile, American companies are working to certify their mineral sources. Ford Motor is now asking all its 1,400 suppliers to disclose whether they use any of the four minerals in their parts. That information will be added to an in-house database that tracks parts from mines to vehicle—keeping both African warlords and the U.S. government at a comfortable distance.
The bottom line: Congolese mineral exports are down 90 percent due to a new rule requiring U.S. companies to avoid indirectly financing rebel groups.

Designing usable ubiquitous computing
Cederman-Haysom, Tim & Brereton, Margot (2004) Designing usable ubiquitous computing. In Bond, Adrian (Ed.) Proceeding of the 8th Biennial Participatory Design Conference : Artful Integration : Interweaving Media, Materials and Practices, 27-31 July 2004, Toronto.

This paper demonstrates that in order to design successful ubiquitous computing, designers must consider concurrently both the end user interactions in the context of use and the sustainability of the technology and its underlying infrastructure. We describe methods used to create more useful collaboration and communication between users, designers and engineers in designing ubiquitous computing systems. We tested these methods in a real domain in an attempt to create a system that is affordable, minimally disrupts the end-user's workplace and improves human-computer interaction.

He predicted that without more mobilization and pressure from outside, reform could "fizzle."
If U.S.-Pakistan cooperation were in fact to fizzle, clearly such operations would be compromised.
But the thing about phenoms is they can come in hot and then fizzle into a lower voltage of play.
Could Occupy Wall Street yet prove a harbinger rather than a fizzle?
Protests have come and gone, and plans for large-scale demonstrations often fizzle.
The first is that mysterious nullifying force by which such movements usually do fizzle out.
It was a lot easier just to let her explode and then fizzle out.
For there were only occasions on which Dr. Slavens admitted himself to be a fizzle in the big fireworks of the world.
And I must say, as a raid in force, it was more or less of a fizzle.
Well, perhaps I may, though my most promising clue has turned out a bit of a fizzle.
1530s, "to break wind without noise," probably altered from obsolete fist, from Middle English fisten "break wind" (see feisty) + frequentative suffix -le. Related: Fizzled; fizzling.
Noun sense of "failure, fiasco" is from 1846, originally U.S. college slang for "failure in an exam." Barnhart says it is "not considered as derived from the verb." The verb in this sense is from 1847.

Watch: Pastor Manche's petition against gay adoption
Christian Fellowship, River of Love, says it has raised 10,000 signatures against the civil unions bill, which gives gay people equal rights in marriage as heterosexual couples and lays the foundation for a gay couple to be able to adopt.
Is the petition a prelude to an abrogative referendum on the eventual law? Why are the signatures being raised now? Will this move incite homophobia?
Pastor Gordon Manche was one of the guests in Tuesday's edition of Times Talk.

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
A three-month-old rebel uprising in the Central African Republic swept into the country's capital Sunday, ousting the president and leaving ransacked Christian homes and churches in its wake.
A source close to the Episcopal Conference of the Central African Republic told World Watch Monitor that many Christians' properties have been looted. Cars, electronics and other goods were stolen.
The main Cathedral of Bangui, the premises of Caritas Charity, and the houses of a number of religious communities were targeted by armed men, said the source, who is a Catholic priest and asked not to be publicly identified, for security reasons.
Several rebel groups unhappy with the government of President Francois Bozizé, joined forces in December under the banner Séléka and within weeks had taken control of much of the country's north, northeast and the central regions.
Landlocked and largely impoverished, the French-speaking Central African Republic has a long history of unstable, military governments since it gained independence in 1960. Bozizé, who rose to power in a coup 10 years ago, fled Sunday to neighbouring Cameroon.
The rebellion swept out of the north, where the country's Muslim minority is concentrated, giving it a militant Islamic character, experts said.
"Given the rebellion's origins in the north, we can assume there are many Muslims in their ranks" said Roland Marchal, a sub-Saharan researcher at France's National Centre for Scientific Research, in published news accounts.
Looting is being reported across the capital, Bangui.
''We live in a great fear," the Catholic priest said. "Séléka's leaders must take measures to protect our premises. Right now, properties belonging to Muslims in our neighbourhood are not attacked.''
It is difficult to evaluate the extent of the looting, he said, because communication systems are down and many residents have restricted their movements. Water and power supplies have been suspended, plunging the capital into darkness.
Local sources said the main detention centre in Bangui was attacked and its occupants are on the loose, adding to the climate of fear. A curfew has been imposed.
Victims say that since Séléka militants overran Gambo and Bangassou in the southeast on March 11, they have increasingly targeted the Christian population.
Msgr. Juan José Aguirre Muños, Bishop of Bangassou, said rebels stole a dozen mission cars, and destroyed a number of church buildings when they entered the town.
In a letter sent to World Watch Monitor, Muños said Séléka forces robbed and destroyed the rector's house of the diocesan minor seminary, the carpenter's shop, the internet centre, the Catholic college, the pharmacy, and a new surgery block, among other facilities.
The mission mechanic, Jean Marie, was severely beaten, Muños said, because he would not reveal where some automobiles were hidden.
Rebels also targeted government buildings such as the Bangassou town hall. Muños said they threw patients to the floor to steal their mattresses.
Meanwhile, he said, ''they respected only mosques and Muslim traders, to whom they gave our goods to sell."
In town of Ndele, Pastor Jean Bosco Ndakouzou said rebels looted his house and likely would have killed him had he been home at the time.
Elsewhere, in Bambari, rebels destroyed a Baptist church, burning church benches as firewood, local sources said.
Rev. Leo Tibenda, a priest in the Catholic Comboni order, told Catholic News Service the rebels initially gave assurances they would not target religious communities, but the uprising quickly took on Islamist overtones.
"They started victimizing local Christians, telling them their cattle, many given by the church via Caritas, now belonged to the state. Most wear turbans, which isn't the custom here, and are much better armed than the government's soldiers. Their presence is fuelling serious tension between local Christians and Muslims," Tibenda told Catholic News Service.
"The general mood here is that the Muslim community has been in collusion with Séléka," he is quoted as saying.
Since independence, the former French colony has faced numerous military coups and rebellions. Bozizé came to power in 2003 following a rebellion that deposed Ange-Félix Patassé. A number of peace deals signed over years have failed to bring lasting stability. Despite its considerable natural resources—uranium, diamonds, gold, timber, cotton and coffee—the Central African Republic is one of Africa's poorest countries.
Adding to the climate of instability is the fact that most of the Central African Republic's neighbours – South Sudan, Chad, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo—likewise have experienced political crises, with rebellions still active in some of them.
The latest truce between rebels and the Bozizé government, signed in Libreville, Gabon, lasted less than three months. On March 21, the day after the expiration of an ultimatum of 72 hours given to Bozizé to comply with the terms of the truce, rebels resumed fighting.
The rapid advance of Séléka fighters has prompted several African countries, from as far away as South Africa, to intervene. Troops from Chad, Cameroon, Republic of Congo and Gabon were supposed to protect the capital Bangui from the advancing rebels.
The self-proclaimed new president of the Central African Republic, Michel Djotodia, has pledged to respect the Libreville peace deal, according to French media. He said he is willing to form a national unity government hold elections in three years.

Ninety-eight years after it sank, the Titanic is steaming into Port Phillip.
Melbourne Museum will host Titanic: The Artefact Exhibition from May 14 to October 17.
"This is a terrific exhibition, and what's particularly exciting is it gives us yet another opportunity to showcase this wonderful museum," said Sir Rod Eddington, chairman of the Victorian Major Events Company, at a press conference called this morning to announce the exhibition.
The museum last year hosted A Day in Pompeii as part of the state government's Winter Masterpieces program.
"One of the great things about the Pompeii exhibition was that of the something like 330,000 people who came to see it, two-thirds had never been to the museum before. I'm sure that the Titanic exhibition will follow in the same vein," Sir Rod said.
The exhibition of more than 280 artefacts salvaged from the wreck of the Belfast-built ocean liner that sank in the Atlantic on 15 April, 1912 has been seen by 22 million people in the 70 cities in which it has so far been staged. The Melbourne exhibition will be the only one in Australia, and is the first in the southern hemisphere. "It will not only bring visitors from overseas and interstate to our state, but will also provide a terrific opportunity for those of us who live here," said Sir Rod.
The Victorian Major Events Company is bringing the exhibition to Melbourne in partnership with the museum and Frontier Events Company, a new entity launched by rock promoter and label manager Michael Gudinski.
"It's a big thing for Frontier Touring," said Gudinski, who wore a ship's captain's hat for the event. "We've been going 30 years, and this is a new area that we're very excited to be going into ... I'm very excited to go into a venture where there's no backstage rider and no artist can talk back to me."
The move into touring exhibitions came, Gudinski said, after he saw the show in the US. "I'm renowned for having very little patience, but when I was in New York, I went through the exhibition thinking I'd rush through in 10 minutes and I was still there, intrigued, two hours later.
"I'm very proud to be following up Pompeii, but you've seen nothing yet," he added.
The comparison with the Pompeii exhibition was also drawn by Melbourne Museum CEO Dr Patrick Greene. "What's particularly fascinating about the Titanic is that it provides us with so much information about a very particular moment in time. Just like the city of Pompeii, the very tragic and sudden end that befell the ship has also preserved it in time - not under tonnes of volcanic ash, but on the ocean floor at a depth of 4000 metres," he said.
"When the Titanic sailed from Southampton, there were more than 2000 passengers and crew on board, representing the very broadest cross-section of society, from emigrants travelling in third-class making their way to a new life in America, to members of the most elite circles of American and European society. And yes, a handful of Australians too. Through the photographs, stories and, most of all, the artefacts, we're able to piece together what life was like for all these people at the height of the gilded age in the most luxurious liner ever built."

Rusty Nut Removal Comparison Test
For those of us who have suffered this frustration:
from About.com discussion on removing frozen fasteners.....
Rusty Nut Removal
For those of us who do our own restoration work, here's some interesting comparisons on penetrating oils sent by a friend. Happy knuckle busting!
Machinist's Workshop magazine actually tested penetrants for break-out torque on rusted nuts. Significant results! They are below, as forwarded by an ex-student and professional machinist, Bud Baker.
They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants with the control being the torque required to remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" environment.
Penetrating oil ..... Average load*
None .....................516 pounds
WD-40 .................. 238 pounds
PB Blaster .............214 pounds
Liquid Wrench ...... 127 pounds
Kano Kroil ............ 106 pounds
ATF-Acetone mix....53 pounds
The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic transmission fluid and acetone. Note the "home brew" was better than any commercial product in this one particular test.
Hope that this helps.
Interesting. Hopefully those are averages, and they didn't just use the results of one nut for each product.
I'm surprised. I think pb would be better than liquid wrench.

How Long Are Rescued Animals in the Shelter?Q:
How long does it take a rescued animal to find a new home?A:
A rescued animal can stay at the Animal League as long as it takes to find a loving home. Most of the animals are prepared for adoption within three or four days. They are groomed, medically examined, behaviorally evaluated, vaccinated and spayed or neutered prior to adoption. On average, most of the dogs and cats at the Animal League find loving homes within a week. This quick turn around time enables the Animal League to maximize the number of lives saved. There are special needs dogs, cats, puppies and kittens that may take months to find the right match.

In a sharply written and insightful column, British Patrick Cockburn demolishes the testimony given by former prime minister Tony Blair to the Chilcot inquiry. Cockburn suggests that signs being held that said Bliar was a "liar" and "murderer" should have stated he was a "fool" and a "sucker." In his testimony, Bliar claimed he was surprised that Iran and al-Qaeda intervened in the war because in his view and that of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld Iran did not wish to have a Shiite democracy on its doorsteps! "His greatest weakness was not so much that he adjusted facts to support his policies, but he had so little grasp of the facts in the first place." His comments were a mixture of "amateurism and evangelical conviction which made Blair such a lethally inept leader before and during the war in Iraq."
Anyone who has read at least one book about the Iranian government knows it is led by Shiites who hated Sunni Saddam Hussein and they WELCOMED NOT OPPOSED' the emergence of a Shiite government in Iraq. Iran has been aiding the current Iraq government! But, then again, George Bush never quite grasped the difference between the Sunni and Shiites in the first place.
Tony Bliar is an incompetent fool and his testimony is insulting to the intelligence of the British people.

There has never been a need to install the drivers for that chipset as it comes included with the kernel. If yours didn't get detected, check in dmesg for information as to why, maybe also append acpi=off.
If those doesn't work, try upgrading the kernel and as the last option, try madwifi-drivers which are also in the repository.

A cold Saturday afternoon in a field in Surrey? Ah, it must be the cross-country league. I have a love/hate affair with cross-country – about 95% hate and 5% love, and the latter is only for the delicious cakes my team always rustle up afterwards. Actually, although I like to moan about it, there is something rather appealingly stripped back about these races. Runners, fields, the most basic of race markers and that's about it.
Unlike most people, I never did cross-country as a child, so I don't have the memories many wax lyrical or wince with pain about. Instead, I'm developing my own, brand-new set of phobias. There is the difficulty of warming up. How do you warm up properly for a race which starts in a hilly, muddy field and which inevitably seems to involve a last-minute scramble from a car park/train station while attempting to attach race numbers with frozen fingers incapable of working a simple safety pin? In my case on Saturday, clearly you don't, as I ended up getting a terrible stitch after 2.5m and gasping the rest of the way around. I've never had a stitch so bad I still felt it the next day, so that's a first, at least.
Did you do cross-country as a child? Does it bring back happy memories of larking around fields with your mates, or hideous flashbacks of sadistic PE teachers laughing in the face of your blisters? And did your weekend running consist of that lovely, smooth road surface that a cross-country race leaves me rather pining for?

DandelionDandelion is a 3D graph rendering application that can be controlled across the network. Its main purpose is to allow clear network graphs to be rendered in a window, which can be controlled by a separate application or the user. The Dandelion visualisation is actually controlled by issuing simple commands to it across the network (although this could all be happening on a single machine). The Dandelion source includes a set of very simple libraries that can be incorporated into other applications and which can be used to send these commands. Libraries are included for C, C#, Java and Python. The commands are very simple, so providing libraries for other languages would be very straightforward (get in touch if you'd like one to be created). Some of the features provided by Dandelion are the following.
Generate 3D network graphs for clear visualisation.
Automatic node layout using a modified force-directed Fruchterman-Reingold algorithm.
Full control over graph structure and properties across a network.
Graph links can be uni- or bi-directional.
Full control over node and link colours.
Names and arbitrary additional typed properties can be assigned to nodes and links.
Properties are viewable as graph annotations.
Links can be controlled programmatically or by the user.
Scalable: machines with a fast graphics card can handle hundreds or thousands of nodes.
Clients supplied in C, C#, Java and Python allow commands to be issued using a simple GUI.
Libraries for C, C#, Java and Python supplied for integration with other applications.
GTK 2+ interface allows the software to run on Windows, Linux, Maemo, etc.
ScreenshotsThe following video uses Dandelion to demonstrate a memory thread network. The data was imported via a GDF format file, giving a flavour of how Dandelion can be used to visualise larger networks. There's also a paper that describes the theory that underlies this video.

why the swarm trap?
Very nice bees in this here eave. Didn't have a lot of honey. I put a few combs down on a piece of cardboard and that's when all hell broke loose, sort of. The honey looked good and I was looking forward to trying it but somewhere nearby was another hive that thought the honeycomb I pulled out looked good to them and that's when the robbing started. I had already vacumed 2 full boxes of bees and half of another and there were probably 5-6,000 bees in the box with the queen, but I just kept seeing more and more bees and figured hey there must be some visitors here. Well, a quick survey revealed some robbing going on and I could see that the robbers were flying in from east of where this hive I removed was. Tomorrow if I get some time I will survey the area, perhaps I'll be able to find that other hive, probably a slim chance though but it doesn't hurt to try. Anyway, its always a good day when you get the queen! Hope ya'll enjoy the pics. Btw, my friend Bailey and his father n law had some excitement with a 911 swarm call! But that's his story to tell. Have a good one.http://picasaweb.google.com/pyxicephalus/March52008Harahan....JP
I put a few combs down on a piece of cardboard and that's when all hell broke loose, sort of.
JP, I got some comments, if I can remember them all. For one, that was a beautiful job and the pictures you took are astounding!!! Keep them coming, it is so enlightening to see these colonies that do not live in the boxes that human provide for them eventually. Did the bees actually only use that small hole I see in the bottom of the floor thing to get in, that tiny little hole? Amazing.The size of your bee vacuum is alarmingly big, how in the blazes do you carry that thing around anyways. YOu are one busy dude with all the stuff.The robbing that was going on may have been a good thing? It keep the other bee colony away from the one you were getting? Is this correct thought?Anyways, good job, great you got that beautiful queen, she is beautiful. When I see pictures of the queen bee, it brings that smile to my face too, like Annette said, something about the beauty of that girl. Have the most beautiful and wonderful day, love our life we be livin'. Cindi
I get so excited everytime I see all these removal pix especially. I can't wait to put my hat in the ring when it comes to swarm removal calls. Great pix! Its amazing that to us...all of that is beautiful but that there is so much fear out there from others that don't realize how great it really is.
jp the pictures were amazing

In 1985 I found myself in a dental practice of my own making. However, it was not the practice I had imagined I would have. I was incredibly busy with little time to develop relationships with my patients and staff. The dentistry provided was always convenient, but not always what was the most appropriate for each individual patient.
The dental practice consumed most of my time and deeply affected family and personal relationships. How did I arrive at such a place? I had followed the common sense of others. I attracted as many patients as possible through insurance plans, print advertising, yellow page advertisements, catering to all groups, and providing all services and extended hours. I had become an "expert" by attending the hot weekend seminars. This approach led me to a practice that was out of control. Rather than feeling excitement for dentistry, I was tired.
That year I heard Dr. Harold Wirth speak at the Hinman Meeting about the uncommon dental practice that leads to an exciting practice life. I realized I would need to recreate my dental practice. To do this, I needed to look at my practice differently and use what could be considered uncommon sense.
Following Dr. Wirth's suggestion, I attended The Pankey Institute's Continuum Level One, which is focused on the complete evaluation of each patient. When I implemented complete evaluations in my practice, there was a ripple effect throughout all areas, and my previous common sense approach no longer applied. Some of the affected areas were treatment planning, treatment complexity, education, scheduling, personnel, referrals, practice growth, office environment, insurance philosophy, and financial arrangements.
Illustration by: Brian Green
Have you heard the story about a panda that walks into a restaurant and has dinner? After finishing he gets up, takes a pistol, fires it into the ceiling, and begins to walk out. The alarmed waiter shouts, "Hold it! What was that all about?" The panda turns and throws him a dictionary. "I'm a panda! Look it up!" Opening the dictionary, the waiter reads, "Panda: an animal that eats, shoots, and leaves." Commas can be quite important.
Unless you have a pediatric practice, you likely see very few new patients a month. By this, I mean "actually new" patients. The vast majority of our "new" patients have been patients somewhere else. Therefore, we do not provide new-patient experiences but rather new, patient experiences. The comma is important.
What are you providing your patients that has meaning for them as individuals and allows them to make intelligent, informed decisions concerning their present and future dental health? Glossy brochures, a dental "spa" experience, and other external patient perks will not create a meaningful relationship. A meaningful relationship with our patients is the keystone to the practice many of us envision, and it is frequently lacking in today's common sense dental offices.
Today's dentist should be uncommonly thorough, as many of us were initially trained in dental school. I believe it is our responsibility to provide our patients our best comprehensive evaluation, including a preclinical interview with the patient to discuss the patient's previous dental experiences, current chief concerns, and longer-term health and aesthetic objectives. I always include radiographic and other appropriate imaging, multiple sets of diagnostic study casts that are face-bow mounted on a semiadjustable articulator, digital photographs, and an aesthetic evaluation
This new, patient experience should be positive, unique, valuable, and memorable. We must allow for nonpatient time for a diagnostic work-up and to develop an appropriate treatment plan that takes into account the patient's immediate concerns, intermediate objectives, and long-range goals. You can plan to do the treatment in stages, based on sound dental principles, and not compromise the best long-lasting results for each individual.
Brands are powerful and have associated emotions. Just think of Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volvo, GM, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Nike, and UPS. What is your practice brand? Does it represent the style of practice you desire? Too often, more time is spent on designing a logo than defining what the dental practice is really about.
Rather than delegate your branding to an ad agency, take the uncommon approach. Spend significant time thinking about the practice you would like to have. Envision what you would be doing most of the time, how you would be treated, how you would treat others, and what systems should be in place to support this vision. Then, gather your staff together away from the office to discuss what the practice should become. With your co-workers, develop a clear vision of your present brand and what you want your brand to be before hiring someone to design a logo, office sign, or advertising. Ask what you, your co-workers, and your patients think of when they think of your dental practice? Do your thoughts match? What changes can be made to have them become more congruent? Don't stop there! Make changes to become the brand you envision.
A bustling dental practice reminds me of the iron ore carriers I worked on in my youth. Once under full power, even with full reverse it takes 14 miles to stop a heavily laden freighter. The momentum of a dental practice is much the same. Despite this, I made the decision to change. You can, too.
Uncommon Sense about Co-Workers
The common dental vernacular for the staff has become "the dental team." Much of this is related to Dr. W. Edwards Deming's 14 points of business philosophy that corporations and dental consultants embraced decades ago. All over the country, every morning, dental teams are huddling. Is it working?
The average annual dental employee turnover per office hovers around 25%. What are the reasons for this disruptive and costly turnover? I believe dental employees have not been encouraged to look at dentistry as a career. Managing groups of people is a monumental task, and I think it is time to look at our dental co-workers in an uncommon way. The dental team analogy may not be appropriate for the modern, relationship-based dental practice. Teams connote competition. Who are we competing against? Mr. Tooth Decay…other dentists?
With the amount of dentistry that is needed and wanted inside and outside of our dental offices, there is no reason to compete with our colleagues. If anything, it is a time to raise the bar and lift the profession to the highest standards of care. Evidence-based dental research should guide our dental treatment decisions, and appropriate treatment in our patients' best interest should be the basis for our treatment plans.
Teams need a coach or manager along with frequent directions. They need a game plan and pep talks. From my experience, this becomes very tiring for everyone involved. Relatively speaking, teams have rather short-term goals:
the Super Bowl, the gold medal, and the national championship. And if you have noticed, they change players frequently, and the "team" looks different year after year.
I prefer to work with my co-workers like a string en-semble. Professional musicians are gifted in their own area of music, and many play multiple instruments. They work on their skills individually, and as a group when they rehearse. They do not need a conductor to begin their performance, and they take cues from each other. They make beautiful music together and help each other stay on key. They are nonjudgmental and want to engage their audience. They ask to be compensated fairly, and above all, they desire recognition for their efforts. In an ensemble, everyone is responsible for creating a memorable and meaningful individual and group experience.
Nothing seems to perk up dentists' ears more than a discussion of dental fees. Dentists arrive at fees in some very interesting ways. Commonly they base them on the fees of other dentists in their area, a national dental organization's geographical survey of fees, a formula related to their lab fee, an insurance reimbursement or what insurance allows, a per-unit price or per-service choice (charge per procedure), or a practice tradition adjusted on some time interval. Many dentists use a combination of these to determine their fees.
If you think about it, basing your fees on hearsay, lab fees, capitation, or the insurance-prescribed "usual and customary" makes about as much sense as attempting to diagnose and provide a fee estimate for a patient you have never examined. Do these fees have anything to do with the complexity of the individual patient's treatment plan?
In dental school, we had to achieve so many crowns, so many extractions, and so many root canals. When we went into practice, it was quite easy to transfer this mindset to running a business. The ever-present insurance company was helpful in perpetuating this piecework-manufacturing model. But is this popular model congruent with arriving at the appropriate fee for each individual case?
Uncommon sense is not about the most expedient or even easiest way of doing things. It is pursuing the best and most appropriate treatment regardless of self, insurance company, or tradition. By thoroughly knowing your patient and the patient's circumstances—both dental and nondental—we are in the best position to make the correct diagnosis and at the same time develop a fair fee for all those involved. Fees should compensate you for the care and time you take to study and develop a well-thought-out treatment plan for the most appropriate, individualized treatment. This includes the time you take to understand and evaluate—with care, skill, and judgment—the complexity of the case and the circumstances, temperament, and objectives of the patient.
I remember when my practice had a carefully typed fee sheet covered in plastic in the front desk drawer. The plastic was necessary because the sheet was dragged out for every patient. The receptionist would add up the numbers like they were items on a menu. Very convenient, very structured, and very unchangeable until I thought it was time for a fee adjustment. Now we have computers. We can enter our fees and have them ready to select and record at the end of the appointment. Even though we can change them much easier, do we? And if we do, why do we?
Would you approach a builder and say, "I would like you to build a custom house. How much will it be?" Is this any different than the inevitable question you hear at your local dental meeting, "How much do you charge for a crown?" We are curious about what others report, even though we know there is a vast difference in the care, skill, and judgment needed among patients, among quadrants, and among individual teeth.
When you want an estimate for building a house, the architect learns of your individual needs and wants. You both learn about each other's philosophies of home design and what is expected of each other. The architect gathers information and takes notes on what information you present. Preliminary plans are drawn, and changes are made. Eventually a final set of plans are presented and explained to you. It is then and only then that the architect can give an accurate fee estimate based on time, complexity, and materials.
Many of us have gone through this in our lives. The point is that the architect generates a fee for the design work. Interestingly, the charge is in relation to the complexity of the project. When you utilize care, skill, and judgment in the diagnostic work-up, consult with specialists, and develop a treatment plan, do you realize that you are the architect of the case?
You are also the builder. Most builders separate the cost of materials (ie, lab costs) from the actual construction of the project. In fact, car mechanics and plumbers appreciate this separation. However, it is almost universal (common sense) for dentists to combine these costs into their dental fee. The uncommon determination of fees is to separate your care, skill, judgment, and the time allotted to determine a part of your fee from the additional appropriate fee for lab costs. With the ever-increasing use of implants in treatment plans, dentists are beginning to utilize this philosophy of fee determination. A fee discussion inevitably stimulates a debate on dental insurance (actually, benefits). That is a topic all its own that I look forward to presenting in the future.
Not to belabor the analogy, but don't we have to maintain the house after it is built? We have no trouble charging our patients for hygiene maintenance. But it takes a little uncommon sense to ask what your time is worth to maintain the dentistry based on your individual circumstances, experience, unique training, care, skill, and judgment, not to mention the complexity of each individual case and the results anticipated.
Kaiser Wilhelm I lived from 1797 to 1888. His life spanned a time when the world was almost constantly at war. You may be surprised to know that he had a great influence on how many of us live our lives. In 1881 he assigned his chancellor, Otto von Bismarck (famous for battleships and jelly doughnuts) to create a first-of its-kind social program in Germany. It would be a pension provided by the government to help the elderly in their later years. At what age would it begin? Bismarck initially picked the age of 70 and later reduced it to 65. However, this reduction, although politically motivated, was not significant. When the program was implemented in 1884 the average lifespan of a German citizen was 47. The Kaiser held the purse strings very tightly.
When Franklin D. Roosevelt was designing this country's Social Security plan, he merely used the German program as his template and adopted 65 as the age at which it would take effect. So common sense is to plan our retirements around the age of 65.
What does retirement mean to you? I have asked this question over many years to dental groups from all over the country. Invariably a common answer surfaces that can be recited almost word-for-word from group to group. "It's doing what you want to do," they say.
What does this have to do with 65? In fact, if retirement is doing what we want to do, what are our reasons for not "retiring" now? Just imagine if you have the practice life that you entirely enjoy, the time and financial means to spend time with family and friends, and the ability to "give back" to others in whatever way you wish. Isn't that doing what you want to do? Look at your practice and your life in an uncommon way.
John Locke was a well-respected British philosopher who had a significant influence on the Founding Fathers of our country. He lived at the time of the Enlightenment, and the emerging focus of philosophy was on the rights of the individual. John Locke wrote about "life, liberty, and property." Until Thomas Jefferson penned "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" in the Declaration of Independence, it was common sense for many to accept their circumstances. After the Declaration, people began to look at life in an uncommon way. They were empowered to create new possibilities that allowed them to experience uncommon success and happiness.
What begins as uncommon sense many times becomes common sense over time. Here are some thoughts on the pursuit of happiness. Surround yourself with great people. Create an environment that you love, and attract the people who are looking for the same. Become the best that you can be, and consistently hold out for what is best for others.

international online community for dna barcoding professionals
I was just wondering what criteria is checked for the new Barcode Compliance field in BOLD. I found one record in one of my private projects that has 2 traces, a sequence, a voucher ID, and is identified down to the species level, but it says "No" for Barcode Compliance. I attached a screenshot of the Progress Report Excel download. Hopefully you can read it.
Views: 196
Dear Mike,
The record is missing country which is specified as required in the barcode standard document.
Great! Thanks for pointing this out, Sujeevan.
Hi Mike,
Once you've updated your record to include the country, it can take up to 12 hours for the Barcode Compliance flag to update on your BOLD record list.

text: I've been using chrome primarily since ifs release in 2008 and absolutely love it. I left IE for Firefox. and used it for a number of years before moving to chrome, somewhere in there I used Opal for a short while but have no real memories of it, either good or bad. One word of caution, chrome is my browser of choice and I use it 99.9% of the time. However, I still keep both Firefox and IE on my computers. On rare occasion, I will find certain sites or specific functions on certain sites that will not play nice with chrome. Whenever weird unexplainable things happen, I've become accustomed to trying a different browser as troubleshooting step number one. In fairness to chrome, I've seen occasions where the opposite is true...I've had users fighting strange issues with IE, had them try Chrome, and like magic, it works! :) GO FIGURE! :-DAnd yes...I think it's Chrome's minimalist approach that keeps it fast.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- Devin Gardner accounted for six touchdowns to help No. 21 Michigan rout Iowa 42-17 Saturday. The Wolverines (8-3, 6-1 Big Ten) weren't stopped on offense by the hapless Hawkeyes (4-7, 2-5) until Gardner threw an interception early in the fourth quarter. Gardner threw three touchdowns and ran for three scores. He became the first Michigan quarterback to account for six TDs since 1983 when Steve Smith had as many passing and rushing scores in a game at Minnesota. Denard Robinson played after missing two-plus games with nerve damage in his right elbow. Robinson started at running back and took some snaps at QB, but didn't throw a pass. Michigan running back Fitzgerald Toussaint appeared to break his left leg on his team's first drive.

Professor Emeritus of Botany
He continued his research on nitrogen fixation at the Harvard Forest of Harvard University, where he investigated the energy cost of nitrogen fixation by nodulated woody plants, particularly alders. His recent research and teaching interests include the biophysics of gas diffusion into and out of root nodules and compost piles; computer models of forest succession applied to inquiry learning and the regulation of cell wall expansion during oscillatory growth in lily pollen tubes.
He teaches in the Environmental Science and Sustainability Program, sponsoring courses on sustainable living and the production of biomass fuels. In addition to teaching plant biology and forest ecology, Professor Winship is the current director of the Southwest Studies program and occasionally leads desert field courses on the US-Mexico border. His other interests include sustainable building and timber framing, the natural history of the Pioneer Valley, hiking, and sailing.
Standing as silent sentinels, trees in temperate regions record temperature, rainfall, amount of sunlight and response to disturbance in the width of their annual growth rings. We can use the patterns of these rings as surrogate climate records for years before people recorded weather data. In this project-based course, we will first learn the techniques of dendochronology, the science of reading tree rings, including collection and preparation of samples, data collections and analysis, and the biology of tree growth. We will travel to various sites around New England and collect tree cores in stands where the climate signal is likely to be strong and where we can also find evidence of significant ecological events such as fire, logging, hurricanes and farm abandonment. 300-level students will act as team leaders for the main course projects.
A lively debate roars in both the popular and scientific press - will we run out of food? This debate seems to beg several crucial questions: what food, for whom, produced how and where, at what cost to the world's non-human biota (among others)? We might try to answer these questions politically, or ethically, or ecologically - in this class I propose to explore the implications of our food choices and production methods as quantitatively as possible using mathematical models. Many, many studies have produced models of this kind, so we have a good set of starting points. And, a model is only as good as its input data, and the validity of assumptions about rates and interrelationships. We will explore and critique a few such models, then try out our own project. Depending on interests, skills and available information we might take on local food production and consumption on our own campus, in the Pioneer Valley, or even throughout the world. Some skills or at least comfort with computers, simulations and numerical methods are strongly recommended.
Unlike many plant biology survey courses, this class will not attempt comprehensive coverage, but rather will consist of a series of guided explorations into how plants around us grow, adapt and reproduce. Class will meet twice per week, once to discuss relevant literature and last week's results, and once to conduct experiments, take field walks, make observations and collect data. Likely topics include pigments and leaf color change, photosynthesis and respiration, seed germination, vegetative and reproductive anatomy, nutrient uptake, nitrogen fixation, tropisms and canopy structure, among others. We will grow plants in the Bioshelter and explore the woods and fields around us. Written work for the course will consist of short write-ups of each week's exploration. No formal prerequisites are required, but some experience with science and quantitative analysis is very much recommended.
Shaped by climate, elevation, and continuous disturbance, the forests of New England are diverse, ever-changing, and frankly beautiful. In this class we take day-long field trips to twelve forests, reading the literature on each forest type and learning to identify trees and other denizens. We will practice methods for scientific investigation, including community census and analysis and dendrochronology. We will learn to read the landscape for clues about history and stand dynamics.

IRIC was created within the framework of the Federal University of Cameroon. The "International Relations Institute of Cameroon" abbreviated as (IRIC) is charged with Training and Research in the domain of International Relations.
Through its founding and teaching objectives, the composition of its teaching staff, and by virtue of its openness to foreign students from Africa and other countries etc, IRIC could be said to be international in nature.
The supreme organ of IRIC is the Board of Management, which is presided at by the Minister of External Relations or his representative. Other members who equally take part in deliberations during the period of cooperation stipulated by accords include: the Minister of Higher Education, the Representative of the Secretary-General at the Presidency of the Republic, and the Vice Chancellor of the University.
In addition, the representative of the Graduate Institute of Higher International Studies of Geneva in Switzerland, the representative of the Carnegy Institute for International Peace, the Director of the Institute and the Director of Studies also take part in the meetings of the Board of Management for questions that do not interest them personally.

The variance of elemental estimates
Skitmore, Martin & Ng, S. Thomas (2000) The variance of elemental estimates. In Serpell, Alfredo (Ed.) Information and Communication in Construction Procurement, The International Council for Building Research Studies and Documentation (CIB) W-92 Procurement System Symposium, 2000, Department of Construction Engineering and Management, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Santiago, Chile.

One of the factors affecting the success or otherwise of the procurement process is the quality of its financial management. In many cases, particularly in the early stages of a project, this is dependent on the accuracy of forecasts of future costs. For risk management purposes, what is most useful is the representation of future costs in the form of a probability distribution. In the case of early stage building contract price forecasts the approximate distribution of the likely error is usually obtained by the stochastic simulation of values from the distribution of known elemental rates under the simplifying assumption that the elemental rates are from independent random variables. This paper describes an empirical study aimed at investigating the accuracy of this method in comparison with one which incorporates the intervariable correlations. This confirms previous work in showing that the estimated second moment (variance) is considerably different when using the mean element rates as estimators, with the approximate method producing much lower estimates. It is then shown that, under the empirically supported assumption that element rates are normally distributed, the total project is also lognormally distributed and that this is completely specified. It is also shown that the coefficient of variation is unaffected by the size (floor area) of the project. The analysis then continues to examine the role of professional judgement and, with the simulated data used, the independent approximation is shown to be reasonably accurate – the professional judgement absorbing most of the intercorrelations involved. A final example is given involving the use of elemental unit quantities and rates. This shows how a unique project rate variance can be calculated for an individual future project, based on relevant data from previous projects and taking into account interelemental rate correlations. The results again suggests that the approximating method may be quite accurate.

I gave the wheels on the Coupe a good clean and treated them to the new style centre caps with the chrome rim, new "M" badges and some chrome valve covers and caps.
I also put on some chrome wheel nut caps but i'm not so sure about them.
What do you guys think of them??

Seasonal Changes
Unlike other bigwig collectors in town who smack you with a cover charge to get a gander at their goods, Marty Margulies is making nice with the public and seems to be a fellow after our hearts. The art mogul has switched out the exhibit at his sprawling 45,000-square-foot warehouse in Wynwood, unveiling -- free of charge -- a fresh trove of photography, sculpture, and installations from his cherry collection. Newly installed exhibits at The Margulies Warehouse will feature works by Zilvinas Kempinas, Hiraki Sawa, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, John Szarkowski, Hank Willis Thomas, Leo Villareal, Paolo Ventura, Gregory Crewdson, Alfredo Jaar, Heidi Specker, and Thomas Ruff, among others.
One of the funkier displays includes Olafur Eliassons Inverted Mirror Sphere, a massive swag lamp or disco ball-like sculpture illuminating the space with a Saturday Night Fever vibe. Our mission is to operate as a thought-provoking educational facility to further the interest and understanding of contemporary art forms, says curator Katherine Hinds. Stop by Fridays and Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Call 305-576-1051, or visit www.margulieswarehouse.com.

Don't Let the Bed Bugs Keep Biting!
On Tuesday they issued Arbor Park Apartments a notice of violation for still having the bed bugs.
But the complex may not be fully responsible. In their current lease agreements they state it is the tenants responsibility to deal with any bed bugs.
Code enforcers though say the lease has no bearing on their work.
"The city is going to, of course, take a position that the ultimate responsibility for code compliance resides with the owner," said Gainesville Code Enforcement Manager Jim Garrett.
He says the property managers may seek compensation from the tenants, but that's not for code workers to handle.
Code workers say Arbor Park and it's owners, Paradigm Properties, have 15 days to comply or could face fines of up to $1000 a day.
