Today I venture into new territory – interpreting the symbolism of that broken wrist watch. I am writing 3 interpretations that to some extent overlap but together convey the significance. You my dear DC friend have the freedom to mix-n-match as you choose!
Interpretation one:
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one
And the mouse ran down
Hickory Dickory dock
Hickory Dickory = Prashant
Mouse = silent predator in Aarti's life aka grahan or eclipse aka dark shadow aka web of lies
The mousegained entry in Aarti's life or personal space
Clock struck one = Time of reckoning has arrived signified by Aarti throwing the watch and causing it to break
When the time of reckoning arrives – the mouse flees.
Aarti is suffocating under a web of lies regarding P and the Dupeys negative influence (Similar to a situation if a mouse was to gain entry into your house). Finally the hour of reckoning has arrived. Yash by picking up the broken watch is going to actively assist Aarti in breaking from P's bondage and the negative hold that the Dupeys have on her.
For Aarti time had stopped when P dumped her (and walked away with the watch she had gifted) – today when she threw and broke the same watch – she has taken the decision to be free of her past and to move forward with the present – Yash. Yash picking up the broken watch indicates that the time has arrived for him to become aware of Aarti's past that is holding her and Ansh captive to P and the Dupeys.
Interpretation three:
An alarm is an alert or warning – a symbol that something must be done now or acted upon quickly.
For Aarti it is an alert that she has procrastinated way too long in revealing the P factor and Ansh's BMT to Yash. She has not just procrastinated – she has almost forgotten. But now by handing the watch to her Yash has reminded her that she needs to come clean with him urgently before it is too late – so that he can protect her and Ansh and put in order this area of their life.

Another good episode that hopefully brings us one step closer to the truth.
Fear defeats more people than any other thing in the world.
Aarti and Yash's conversation on lies continue with Yash fearing for the coming days as one day the truth will be revealed. His love for his younger brother is shown as he does not want to keep him in the dark but Aarti makes him understand that hearing the truth from anybody other than Paridhi may never let him forgive Paridhi. In a sense the same advice would apply to her as well. Yash then asks Aarti to talk to Paridhi about it as it would not be right for him to do so and it is only when Prateek is aware of the truth that it will be easier for them to save Paridhi. When he leaves her alone, Aarti says she knows how much he hates lies and so as soon as the final session is over, she will reveal the truth to him.
The next morning the family is in the living room when the driver comes in with a watch he found in one of the cars. Bua takes it from him, examines it and eliminates all the Scindia men from being the owner of it. Palak then jumps in to tell them that the watch belongs to Yash's friend who stays with the Dubeys. Aarti is visibly nervous and bends her head while Bua watches her intently for a reaction. She then asks Aarti if the watch got in the car by chance but before she can get a chance to answer, Yash jumps to her rescue by saying that it probably fell out on Divali night as he and Prashant came in the same car. It was as though he sensed Bua would try to place the blame on Aarti and so he stepped in to protect his wife. Before leaving for a meeting, Yash asks Aarti to keep the watch safely and return it to Prashant the next time she goes to her mom's house.
Alone in her room, Aarti looks at the watch and remembers the day she gave it to Prashant. She gets angry at herself for remembering the times she spent with Prashant and throws the watch out the window, breaking it. Aarti is angry for remembering her past with Prashant but I think this particular day is hard to erase from her memory as it was the day she found out she was going to be a mother and so the memory of that special feeling of life inside of her will always remain no matter how hard she tries to get away from it. It is significant however that the watch breaks possibly signifying that Prashant's time in her life has come to an end and so she can finally move forward.
Aarti then calls Shobha asking when the final session of treatment is. Shobha tells her she is not sure as the doctors have given Prashant new medicines so they will take a while to decide. Sensing Aarti's agitation she asks the reason she wanted to know and before Shobha can start her usual lectures, Aarti cuts her off telling her that she feels so guilty hiding it all from Yash that she can't even seem to look him in the eye properly. She tells Shobha that as soon as the treatment is over she will tell Yash as as sooner or later her and the family will come to learn of the truth. When she cuts the call and turns around Yash is standing in the room. She thinks he has forgotten something and in her nervousness goes over to the closet searching to give it to him. He however tells her that he did not forget anything and mentions Prashant's watch, triggering her anger further. He doesn't bother to tell her anything, keeps the watch in his pocket and leaves. When he is leaving she finally turns to face him, only to see his retreating figure and so she wonders what made her speak to Yash in such a manner and if she is going crazy.
Prashant is in the park when he starts remembering some of the past moments that were spent with Aarti. His last memory before coming back to reality was of Aarti's hair tickling his face causing him to sneeze. There is a noticeable difference between him and Yash here as Prashant seems to get turned off when Aarti's hair would tickle him while Yash gets lost and attracted to her hair. Yash meets him in the park, telling him that Dubeyji told him that he would be here. He shows Prashant the broken watch and Prashant remembers the night they dropped Ansh back to the picnic site. He wonders if Yash has found out about him and Aarti. Prashant confirms that it is his watch and Yash reveals that the watch is in that condition since Aarti threw is out the window. He observes Prashant's reactions to his words before asking him if he knows the reason why Aarti gets angry and upset when she sees him. Prashant thinks that he should tell Yash the truth.
Looking forward to tomorrow's episode.

Eliminate Head Lice in 3 Basic Methods
The first step should be to initially destroy the youthful, nymph lice and also the grownup lice. This move can be quite a tricky and complex task mainly because head lice have designed resistance into a range of pesticides. Pediculicides can not be relied on to carry out the whole position and so additional therapy is needed. Obtaining rid on the grownup lice is actually a necessary step as it might help break Lice Life Cycle the life cycle from the head lice. Using purely natural, residence substances including olive oil, mayonnaise and petroleum jelly (Vaseline) may help by smothering the head lice and ensure it is less difficult to comb the nits and lice out. The substances will slow the lice down generating them a lot easier to capture and select off. Vaseline, olive oil and mayonnaise are secure selections that will be utilized by the whole family members.
The second stage during the technique of obtaining rid of head lice are going to be to eliminate every one of the nits (eggs). To successfully clear away the nits you will really need to alternate concerning guide removing and using an extremely fine nit/lice elimination comb. To make sure that all of your lice is eradicated the combing and guide elimination will have to carried out over a twenty one particular working day period of time as this can be the life cycle of the head lice. Usually do not neglect this phase due to the fact breaking the top lice daily life cycle could be the most significant component of managing a head lice infestation.
Thirdly, following the first treatment you might have to function to the setting. Cleaning the home and common places applied like while in the bathroom and bedroom in the contaminated particular person. Strip the mattress and clear all the bedding inside of a incredibly hot cycle in the washing. Brushes, combs and towels will have to be cleaned and disinfected. Using precautionary measures can help save problems as well as spreading in the lice on the whole family members.

text: Hello all please help this car is driving me to drinking lol. OK so far replaced distributor plugs and wires tps and isc motor on car. Set timing did minimum idle screw adjustment and adjusted isc just off of the throttle lever when I retracted it. OK so the car was Running like a dream after installing all that. Well after I got the car to run good enough I began tinkering with the a/c. I noticed any time I would hit auto on the ecc I would confirm compresor engagement. As soon as the compressor kicks on it began to stall out my engine. It starts sputtering and if I try to rev up the motor it would sputter and backfire with no power. Hit off on the a/c and the engine revs back up to normal and the car begins running great again. Well I wasn't happy with just accepting that the a/c was bad so I dug deeper. After turning the a/c off I figured my a/c compressor was freezing up or something causing serious resistance to the motor. So I figured I would try switching the a/c to just blow air and make sure compressor disengaged to see if I still had a problem without it engaged. I turned on just fan and the car still would sputter stall and backfire with no acceleration. Well I was switching back and forth at this time between auto and econ I did it about 3 times when I heard a pop under the hood and what seemed to be compression stroke or backfire through the carb. The car wouldn't start after that as well as the backfire. I pulled codes after that and got e22 e24 e31 and e70. All seem to be short related codes. So my question is how could a short because I was on fan mode when the engine blew could cause what I feel is a timing or valve problem any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Global stocks rebounded Tuesday, helped by a better-than-expected reading on the Chinese economy.
Data showed China's industrial sector picked up last month as an official gauge of factory activity rose to its highest level in two years.
U.S. futures and Asian stock markets moved higher, while the Stoxx Europe 600 rose 0.5% in the early minutes of trading.
Gains were led by the mining and energy sectors as Brent crude oil climbed 0.7% from its lowest level since September to $48.95 a barrel. Royal Dutch Shell PLC was among the biggest gainers after the company swung to a third-quarter profit from a year earlier.
Base metal prices also rose in the wake of Chinese economic data, supporting shares of resource companies.
In currencies, the British pound was steady against the dollar at $1.2239, holding on to Monday's gains after Bank of England Gov. Mark Carney said in a letter that he plans to serve an extra year in his post.
Earlier, shares in Hong Kong and Shanghai led Asian markets higher after the upbeat data on the Chinese economy. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average inched up 0.1%, while the dollar was flat against the yen at ¥ 104.9060 after the Bank of Japan left its stimulus program unchanged as expected but revised down its inflation forecasts.
Shares in Australia edged lower, however, while the Australian dollar rose sharply after the Reserve Bank of Australia kept its cash rate target unchanged at 1.5%.
In bond markets, the yield on 10-year German debt rose to 0.189%, while U.S. Treasury yields climbed to 1.858% from 1.834% on Monday. Yields move inversely to prices.

Canada and Russia remain on collision course
By Steve Keating
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (Reuters) - Russia and Canada remained on a collision course at the ice hockey world championships on Monday, completing qualification round play unbeaten to take top spot in their group standings.
With Prime Minister Stephen Harper looking on, Canada cruised to a 6-3 win over Finland in a rematch of last year's final to clinch first place in Group F while Russia beat Switzerland 5-3 to finish top of Group E.
The Swiss will not have to wait long for a shot at revenge, the Russian victory setting up a quarter-final rematch on Wednesday in Quebec City.
Champions Canada, bidding to become the first host country to win the title since the Soviet Union in 1986, will play Norway, who sneaked into the last eight when Germany shocked Latvia 5-3 to end the qualification round.
The other quarter-final pairings have Olympic champions Sweden taking on the Czech Republic while Finland and the United States will renew hostilities in a rematch of their ill-tempered clash on Sunday that produced 202 minutes in penalties and saw three players handed game suspensions.
Ryan Getzlaf scored on the first shot of the game 33 seconds into the opening period for Canada, who handed the Finns their first loss of the tournament.
Dany Heatley scored twice giving the Ottawa Senators forward a tournament best nine goals while captain Shane Doan also scored twice and Patrick Sharp added a short-handed effort. Continued...

If beet greens are unavailable, toss in raw watercress, spinach, or arugula leaves.
4 large beets
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted
1 bunch beet greens
2 scallions, finely chopped
1/4 pound feta cheese (optional)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
Wash beets. Remove greens but leave beet tops and roots intact. Place beets in a large pot filled with water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until beets are tender (about an hour). Set aside to cool. Toast pumpkin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Move the skillet back and forth over the heat with one hand, stirring the seeds with a wooden spoon in the other hand. This will toast the seeds evenly and prevent burning. Seeds are ready when they begin to pop and give off a nutty aroma. Remove seeds from skillet and set aside.
To prepare beet greens, fill a large skillet with water to a depth of 1 inch and heat to a simmer. Wash greens by submerging the bunch in a sink full of cold water. Shake off water and drop greens into simmering water. Let them cook for about 30 seconds, until tender and juicy. Place greens in a colander and gently run cold water over them to halt cooking.
Place all dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well. Peel beets by cutting off the tops and slipping the skins off with your hands. Slice beets. Squeeze excess water out of the cooked beet greens and chop. Put beets, beet greens, pumpkin seeds, and scallions in a salad bowl. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently. Crumble feta cheese on top. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Makes 6 servings
Preparation time: 1 hour to cook beets, 15-20 minutes to assemble salad
Variation for Children: Cook the beets in apple juice instead of water, cut up, and serve plain.

My Ride: 2007 MX-5
View My Garage
Update: So I pulled the pump off again today ready for the new one. Couldn't help myself and pulled it apart again to see what's going on. You need a #40 Torx bit.
All the impeller blades were free to move except one. I then noticed (under a magnifying glass) that the blades have a rounded edge and a flat edge. The slots are rounded at the axis end and I'd put a couple of blades in the wrong way i.e. rounded edge out. So I cleaned it all up again and reinserted the blades rounded edge in. I went over to Queensland Hydraulic Services who very kindly gave me (no charge) a 64mm ID, 2mm "O" ring for the case. Reassembled the pump.
So, I couldn't help but keep thinking that the problem that arose on the test drive yesterday was an air lock and that the pump was probably working - it did for the first 5 minutes. So I pulled out the reservoir and emptied it out and gave it a wipe.
So far all that this exercise has cost me is my free time, a drive in the MX-5 (hardly a task) over to Salisbury to get the "O" ring and 500 ml of Dex 111. So what's another 500 ml of Dex 111 out of the 4 litres I bought? So I put the pump and reservoir back on, buttoned everything up and filled the reservoir.
Turned the engine over and switched off after a couple of seconds to prime the pump. Re-checked fluid level - small top up needed. Had a beer to think - it was 4:00pm after all. Ran the engine a bit longer, still no weird noises. Checked fluid, had another beer. Drove the car up and down the (double width) driveway and moved it across from side to side without using huge steering angles. No noises, no fluttering through the steering wheel...and we have power steering again! Wooohooo!
Had too many beers by then so will leave the hidden air bubbles to rise overnight and take it on a careful test run tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
Footnote: I think it's pretty poor that a premium Euro car such as the BMW has this sort of failure though. I've seen plenty of cars (Holdens, Falcons, Japanese) that have been driven into the ground - and then another 100,000 km - and the power steering still worked fine and had never been touched. This failure shouldn't happen at 150,000 km in a modern car.

Few general directors are also artistic directors in the world of performance, but BLO's Esther Nelson is one of those with both artistic vision and financial acumen. She honed that acumen as a management consultant for various arts programs around the nation and during her time running Glimmerglass Opera, one of the country's most prestigious opera festivals. Her time growing up in Europe has given her an international point of view, which she calls upon when pulling together productions like the BLO's latest, The Barber of Seville.
Which is more difficult in opera— being dramatic or comedic?
ESTHER NELSON: They're equally difficult, but in terms of timing I think comedies, whether in opera or in theater, are more difficult to pull off. Comedy is so extraordinarily important because it has to fit on many levels, including singing. Slapstick is only funny if the humor is evident to the audience without the actor telling you, "This is funny, people."
How close to the edge do you take farce?
EN: This was part of Rossini's popularity—with his comedies, he was an absolute master. But there is a delicacy in the piece too. Rossini isn't just slapstick funny. It's also about the rising middle class and the abuse of power by the aristocracy, and that's often ignored.
Barber was one of the first Italian operas performed in America. Why did it resonate?
EN: I think because of its genre. It's also a perfect little jewel because musically it's so pleasurable; it appeals to every generation. I even love the Bugs Bunny versions. We had all of them in our house. They're hilarious.
People can be intimidated by opera, but this one centers so much on farce, lust, and gossip— fodder for so much of today's popular entertainment.
EN: If Rossini had had television at the time, it would have been true slapstick. [With Barber of Seville] you cannot help but smile and laugh, and if it's done well, you can't help but be happy for the next few days because it gets into your bloodstream.
The Barber of Seville runs March 9, 11, 14, 16, and 18 at Boston Lyric Opera, 11 Ave. de Lafayette, 617-542-4912.

Unfortunately, Halvar Flake feels he knows better than the rest of us:
Halvar Flake, talented in the ways of reverse-engineering and not, it seems, part of any confidentiality agreement, speculated on the details of the attack in his blog. Flake disagrees on the utility of the 29 day blackout period; he argues that people are better off with more information in this case.
I'm not sure what planet Mr. Flake lives on but which people are better off with more information, the hackers?
Sometimes exercising a little common sense is better than grabbing a headline just to show how smart you are.
I'm sure everyone would love to know the details but perhaps it's best shared after all the DNS servers are updated and people's livelihoods are no longer at risk.

In the scientific and clinical community, it is common knowledge that endodontics has evolved from the dark ages similar to the way implantology did. Arthur Schopenhauer stated truth always goes in 3 stages: first it is ridiculed, then violently opposed, then finally it is accepted as self-evident. Implants enjoy success rates similar to well-selected endodontically treated teeth, and endodontists evolving to include both disciplines are evidence of that change.1-3
It was once thought that root canal treatment was an arduous procedure with uncertain results. Implant dentistry has undergone comparable scrutiny and it has also emerged. Sometimes, for the disciplines of endodontics and implantology, the success rates are underestimated or overestimated; and/or the procedures are not respected due to poor choices by clinicians, or because of a rivalry toward the opposite discipline. Perhaps some clinicians may choose to treat compromised teeth, or choose to endodontically treat a difficult case, realizing later the disservice to the patient and the harm to their own long-term success.4 In comparison, placing implants, with no regard for advancing one's training prior to doing so, can be similarly deleterious. A conflict of interest may also exist whereby those who never received adequate training in one discipline, or those who have a vested interest in a service that they offer, might be reluctant to offer the diametrically opposed discipline. These examples demonstrate why reputations of a procedure, or discipline, can become tainted.
On the other hand, some practitioners consider the single tooth implant a reasonable alternative to the preservation of a diseased tooth. However, the practitioner should be better prepared to determine which treatment option is most appropriate for each individual patient.5 Furthermore, the debatable concern of defining what constitutes the standard of care, by offering a tooth-supported fixed partial denture as compared to a single-tooth implant, has created alarm.6
In the early days, replacement of already missing teeth dominated the practice of dentistry, whereas today, patients present for treatment to replace teeth that first need to be extracted before implants can be placed.7 This has led to another heated issue: removing a structurally sound tooth for substitution by implantation. The debate continues, and slowly the adversarial contention of implant versus endodontics has sensibly given way to implant or endodontics.8-10 In the future, treatment options may evolve to include endodontics, implant therapy, or genetic reproduction.
Implant dentistry and endodontics have steadily undergone paradigm shifts whereby trust and respect are still being established in the dentist's and the public's eye. Due to some similarities occurring with the evolution of each discipline (as financial gains are realized by both the manufacturers and clinicians), more dentists are driven to perform endodontic treatment or place implants. Some dentists seek proper training while others do not, and implantology may undergo criticism (similar to root canal treatment) as poor outcomes and/or undesirable results mount (Figures 1a to 2c). As more clinicians enter the implant realm without reasonable and proper implant training, one might expect that this may blemish the image which implant dentistry (similar to endodontics) has strived to achieve.
|Figures 1a to 1d. Adequate training may prevent compromised prosthetics with poor trajectory as shown, although the supragingival restorative outcome appears acceptable.
|Figures 2a to 2c. Compromised trajectory. Poor mesiodistal placement. Those choosing to place implants must understand prosthetics. Note poor positioning, poor emergence, and compromised hygiene. Appropriate training in implant surgery and prosthetics can help minimize clinical problems like this.
Although research is lacking, a reasonable and seasoned endodontist would not disagree on factors that can diminish success. Some factors could include poor skill set, failing to use microscopy, failing to use orifice barriers such as portland cement (MTA), and failing to defer on treating teeth with poor ferrule or deep axial/pulpal floor/or even suborifice root fractures, which yielded a failed outcome. It is accepted as common knowledge that microleakage, fractured teeth, endo/perio issues, and poor clinical crown volumes have never reflected well on endodontic or restorative success rates. Based on extensive experience, it is this author's opinion that combining nonsurgical treatment with surgical treatment more often (during the same clinical visit), does indeed improve endodontic success; and yet, not implementing this approach for more cases undergoing nonsurgical endodontic therapy occurs. When these aforementioned concerns are not considered, the image of endodontics becomes tainted as failures occur. Similarly, implantology has undergone a comparable evolution in materials and techniques. It was once thought that implants did not work or that the procedure was risky. Comparing endodontics and implant dentistry, the consequence(s) of failure due to improper training or experience is tangible.
In order to preserve the success rates that can be achieved with implant dentistry, the clinician must understand more about the sales and marketing pressures involved. For example, dentists must recognize the pressure of sales and marketing as seen in the implant representative's tantalizing offer to sell an implant start-up package at an abbreviated continuing education course given without due diligence and a solid learning experience. It is imperative that any clinician incorporating implant dentistry into his or her practice understand the principles of implant care so that all the potential risks are understood.
Currently, it is apparent after reviewing—what others opine, various scrutinizations, and the purported editorials and claims thereof—that a contest exists between endodontics and implant dentistry.11 Also, based on varying parameters, that one procedure is (perhaps) always better than the other. Along these lines, a form of ostracization exists whereby endodontists might be looked upon by peers with peculiarity, or even be investigated by their respective state dental board if they choose to place implants because of arbitrary opinions or a disregard of differences. Some peers may think that an endodontist should not be part of, or included in, the implant treatment team; or that we are not welcome at continuing education courses or other relevant programs with open arms. This has caused a great stir amongst varying parties from a variety of entities with vested interests. The definition of the scope of practice of endodontics and the accreditation standards clearly indicates that participation of endodontists in implant dentistry is warranted and ethical, contrary to what some may believe.
In light of these political concerns, and more importantly the clinician's dilemma with a patient's clinical issue, it is not always possible to predictably save teeth with periodontal treatment or endodontic treatment, and other options need to be made available. In fact, periodontic and endodontic/implant algorithms have been proposed to help understand if saving the tooth or replacement with an implant is a better option.5,12-14
|Figures 3a to 3c. Unpremeditated treatment plan: root canal/apico converted to extraction/graft. Different cases demonstrating why the endodontist must function as endoimplantologist. (Note: Cases were aborted due to intra-operative complications with subsequent extraction/socket grafting [not shown].) Figure 3a. Endodontic therapy rendered, but then aborted due to surgical findings (complete buccal dehiscence with endo/perioinvolvement). Subsequently, extraction and graft rendered (not shown). Figures 3b and 3c. Radiograph demonstrating apical radiolucency No. 7 with surgical exposure showing absolute root fracture and osseous recession.
Frequently, the endodontist becomes involved with a hopeless tooth and must be proactive. Recognizing that dilemma, it makes sense for the endodontist to offer an unpremeditated treatment plan. This means that any time a patient is scheduled for therapy and intraoperative findings render a diminished prognosis, then the clinician must be able to change course and offer different care than originally planned (Figures 3a to 4c). In other words, the ultimate decision may have to be made extemporaneously as the case develops.15 As with other disciplines in dentistry, not every endodontist has the same skill set. However, for those who foster and develop a skill set for the components needed to plan implants and administer treatment with a prosthetic vision in mind, the endodontist should be a vital component. As more endodontists are becoming involved with implant dentistry, it is critical that the referring doctor and general community understand why endodontists are entering this realm. Recognizably, each discipline has its strengths and weaknesses, and clearly both procedures can work well if basic issues are analyzed for each case.16 However, not every tooth can be saved. Therefore, the endodontist must be accepted and respected as a competent player in the placement of implants, so long as proper training is sought.
Endodontists need to realize they must be proponents of implant dentistry, not opponents, and thus should be added to the general dentist's and prosthodontist's repertoire of implant surgeons. Changing times have introduced a sensitive subject matter with obstacles that need to be laid to rest.
The following are some examples of obstacles that clinicians from both sides of the equation must overcome politically and psychologically to adapt the role of endodontist as endoimplantologist.
|Figures 4a to 4c. Unpremeditated treatment plan. During the fixed partial denture temporization phase, this patient developed pulpitis symptoms and was referred for endodontic therapy prior to final impressions. Case was preliminarily accessed and shaped. (Note the faint distal marginal ridge crack.) (a). Distal orifice shown with intra-operative finding; distoaxial/pulpal floor/suborifice root fracture. Endodontic therapy was aborted with extraction/graft rendered (b). After extraction, it was apparent that the internal suborifice vertical root fracture (as seen with an operating microscope), extended to the periphery and was apical of the cemento-enamel junction (c).
Control Issues
An occasional referring dentist may have issues with "control" whereby he or she wants to control persons, places, and things—everything related to patient care. Rather than trusting others and letting things happen, contention and opposition can be a result, albeit unnecessarily. A referring doctor might become offended if the endodontist does not call when hopeless intra-operative situations present to ask what he or she prefers and/or for permission to perform in the patient's best interest via extraction or extraction/grafting. Although it is important to recognize and respect a referring doctor, it is also important to understand that endodontists are qualified to make judgments and perform scrupulously. It is absurd to feel like one must "walk on thin ice" with their referring doctor in order to preserve a "relationship." An example could include: a working relationship with a dentist who remains adamant about the endodontist calling if the tooth cannot be saved so that the patient can be scheduled. The endodontist should become concerned with that relationship because the referring doctor is probably not considering the integral aspects related to that decision as it affects both the patient and endodontist. It is awkward to ask a patient to leave an endodontist's office and drive back to the referring dentist, or worse, to allow the anesthesia to wear off knowing that the patient will be consulted by the dentist later in the day (or on another day), only to go through an event that none of us likes to endure (delayed treatment with interim pain, more unpleasant local anesthesia, time off of work, aggravation). Sometimes, it may not be possible for the endodontist to conveniently call the referring doctor (for whatever reason), or the patient is either orally or intravenously sedated, making a call impractical. After the patient has been told (informed consent) that the tooth cannot be saved, many patients prefer to have the tooth removed and possibly grafted while remaining profoundly anesthetized by the endodontist.
Not Qualified?
Importantly, any dentist can restore or place an implant immediately after graduating from dental school without appropriate training. However, with proper training and attention to detail, dentists (including endodontists) can become not only competent, but proficient in implant surgery (and prosthetics). Endodontists are qualified to understand restorative-prosthetic dentistry. They deal with this on a daily basis with each analysis of restorability for a tooth they treat. They had to train and pass all requirements to become dentists before training to become endodontists. With further training, an endodontist is capable of implant surgery and involvement with prosthetics. It has been said that an endodontist is not qualified to place implants due to a lack of understanding of trajectory and issues thereof. Learning this clinical implant skill did not prove challenging for the author of this article and can be learned with practice and mentorship.
Implant Dentistry Is Not a Specialty
Implant dentistry belongs to no specialty and is now part of many specialties, including endodontics. The American Association of Endodontists (AAE) established the scope of practice of endodontics along with accreditation standards that communicates that it is acceptable for endodontists to be involved with implant dentistry whether for surgical placement or procedures thereof. While the ADA varies its definition from the AAE for the scope of practice of endodontics, the issue of endodontists being involved with implant dentistry is not a concern. Although one can belong to the ADA, one does not have to be a member of the ADA or AAE to be a dentist, or endodontist. As part of our first amendment rights, it is our right as dentists or specialists to be involved with implant dentistry and to advertise appropriately, even with "limited to" or "specialist of" designations if one is a trained specialist, while offering implant surgery.
Ego—Old School Versus New School Mentality
Understand that sometimes it is not possible to "push a rope" with referring doctors/implantologists who do not like change. Some are perhaps territorial, while others may have their own agendas/issues with an endodontist joining their profession. If issues present when working with a colleague of this nature, all that can be done is for the endoimplantologist to continue to educate oneself in surgery, prosthetics, and various other related matters to become a good implant surgeon. In other words, one must continue to strive for proficiency, not just competence. The trained endoimplantologist can perhaps eventually earn the referring doctor's respect and admiration with the potential of having a solid future relationship.
|Figures 5a to 5c. Understanding how to manage intraoperative complications. Deciding on how to manage intraoperative complications must be learned and understood before incorporating implant surgery into practice. Implant placed in apical labial concavity (a), with dehiscence (b), and subsequent grafting (c).
As the status quo is changing, perhaps the endodontist will be able to stand as a beacon for the dogma that implant dentistry is a prosthetic discipline with a surgical component. If that educational model is followed during the course of the endodontist's training, then there can be no hesitation as to one's level of competency with regard to the understanding of principles and skill sets needed to perform implant surgery (Figures 5a to 5c).
A past president of the AAE made a statement that supported implant planning and placement by endodontists.17 Currently, some endodontic residency programs are more involved than others with respect to implant training. Although, it is not necessary to receive all implant training while in an endodontic residency program. Excellent training can be undertaken when one is ready to make the commitment. Once a satisfactory level of training has occurred, one should not worry about how he or she might be accepted in a community. Surprisingly, some referring doctors might think it is admirable that an endodontist wants to be involved and offer another level of care (due to the shortcomings that endodontics and periodontics offer) for certain clinical presentations. Endodontists must focus on what they believe is a better model of patient care and try not to worry about how they will be perceived by a small percentage of resistant dentists; change is inevitable.
Evolution follows the basic tenet that nature shall tailor change, and if it works, then genes and behaviors become immortalized. Logical thinking prevails with the current debate starting to settle on all platforms that implants do work. In support of that issue, every procedure scheduled for endodontics should be thought of as an exploratory procedure since intraoperative findings or outcomes do occur, thereby necessitating a changed methodology for patient care. Therefore, it is best for the endodontist to transition and change to endoimplantologist. Continuation of patient rapport, removing a hopeless tooth with socket grafting, and preparing the patient for implant planning along with future referring doctor involvement should be encouraged. Certain patients tend to become "ruffled" if they are referred back to perhaps someone else for extraction, while absorbing an incomplete fee for endodontic services. At other times, when an endodontist aborts treatment, patients discover that they cannot be seen that day by their dentist and are left "in limbo" with pain until further action can be taken. Endodontists are qualified to talk about teeth and implants and to pursue those actions needed to steer that course. Implant dentistry is not rocket science and becomes tangible once the basic fundamentals are understood. A competent endoimplantologist can be beneficial to build a referring doctor's restorative implant practice. Removing the unrestorable tooth starts that cascade.
Avoidance Behaviors: Reciprocating Negativity Between Implantologist and Endodontist
Pockets of dentists may speak negatively about endodontics, perhaps due to their skill level, frustrations, or inability to properly treatment plan cases, leading to difficulties with restorative care. Dr. Stephen Buchanan,18 an endodontist, stated he began training in implant dentistry because he saw the specialty threatened by implant surgeons who were disrespecting endodontic therapy.18 On the other hand, it is equally interesting that some endodontists spoke negatively about implant dentistry. Some statements included, "So, you are going to the dark side," and "I wish that the AAE would dump a bunch of money in stem cells so that endodontists can render that care," not realizing how myopic these statements may sound. Recently, the president of the AAE published a rebuttal in the Endo Tribune11 to counter the position of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry regarding which is the better option, placing an implant or saving the tooth. Regrettably, the rivalry between endodontics versus implants staggers forward.11 Ultimately, the endodontist and all colleagues must arrive at a mutual understanding that we are all in this together to serve patients, represent integrity, earn a living, and offer services to patients that they select after options are presented. Endodontists must not be afraid. Instead, they should focus on what they perceive to be the coming change, growing professionally and pushing forward so that they become a part of the change that they envision.
Should endodontists be practicing more comprehensively, thereby evolving to remove teeth that are not predictable, graft bone or soft tissue, place implants, treatment plan patients who come to them for their problems, and plan/participate in a team-centered approach to prosthetic care? In the author's opinion, without a doubt! In a national study, the majority of responding endodontists believed that dental implant placement is within the scope of endodontic practice.2 Arguably, not doing so would mean that evidenced-based dentistry is being ignored, that a clinician is not continuing to understand and implement change, or self-growth is myopic and not occurring. Your endodontist should already be trained (or be training) to become one of your implant surgeons. Offering acceptance for their courage and commitment would prove helpful. Referral of a tooth to the endodontist for "explore and treat as needed" makes most sense, with subsequent development of a relationship; whereby referral for grafting or implant placement becomes the next step toward acceptance.
All of us need to unclench our fists so that we can extend our hands in order to minimize and eventually nullify the interdisciplinary gap.

New Jersey's New Political Party: Christiecrats
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has spent the week sparring with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and scooping up Democratic endorsements from a growing group of so-called Christiecrats. Is it 2016 already? Not quite. But Christie's gubernatorial re-election campaign is starting to look a little, well, presidential.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Richmond was edged by GW, 57-54, Wednesday night at the Smith Center in a battle-tested game between the rivals.
Richmond had its eight-game win-streak over the Colonials snapped, suffering its first loss in the series since 2008. The Spiders had previously swept GW in four-straight home-and-home meetings.
The last minute of the game was action-packed, as Richmond held the narrow 54-53 edge with 52 seconds remaining, thanks to a Rachael Bilney three. Bilney missed a free-throw with 29 seconds left, but grabbed a steal setting up a Becca Wann free-throw with 24 seconds left.
The attempt hit the back of the rim and GW pulled down the offensive board and sprinted down the court for the go-ahead score, 55-54 with 11 seconds left. GW swiped a steal and had another layup to seal the win.
The Spiders started the second half on a 12-2 run, boosting its lead 39-34 at the 15:25 mark. Richmond mounted its second-half rally after finding itself down 32-27 at the break.
The game was close throughout, with both teams' largest lead at six points. The score was tied five times, and the lead changed hands 11 times.
Kristina King and Wann both scored 11 points to lead Richmond. Bria Powell scored a career-high seven points while Samantha Bilney, making her first start of the season, pulled down six rebounds and had two assists.
The Spiders fell to 12-12, 2-6 overall, while GW improved to 10-12, 4-4 overall.
NOTES: Richmond fell to 0-4 in away conference games...Sam Bilney made her first start since Jan. 28 of last season...Rachael Bilney is 21 points shy of 1,000.

Bloggers test boundaries in Saudi Arabia
By Asma Alsharif
JEDDAH (Reuters) - Armed with a computer, an internet connection and his own intellect Ahmed Al-Omran is one of a few Saudi bloggers trying to push for change and make themselves heard in the conservative Gulf Arab monarchy.
Blogging provides a rare platform for speech in a country which has no elected parliament, where clerics have strong influence on public opinion, newspapers often parrot the official line and public demonstrations are banned.
"I want to do this because I want to be part of the change that is taking place in the country, I want to push for the changes to go faster," said Omran, a student who writes on his Saudi Jeans blog (saudijeans.org).
King Abdullah has tried cautious reforms since taking office in 2005 and removed two hardline clerics from top positions in a cabinet reshuffle in February while promoting reformers.
Saudi Arabia recently allowed foreign media to expand their presence in the kingdom and the new information minister even signed up for his own facebook page, but analysts and diplomats say conservatives remain wary of changes.
"In the end, we care about something, we desire something and through blogging we call for the change. We ask for it. We sponsor it," Fuad Alfarhan said in a rare gathering of bloggers in Jeddah, the kingdom's most liberal city.
"Now for the first time we, as individuals in our society, have this power in our hands to call for change," Alfarhan told the meeting which was meant to encourage bloggers to continue despite difficulties.

Digital DJ Tips reader Richard writes: "I am new to this art and would like to know more from you about something that's been on my mind since I started. Are there are restrictions to remix songs without the knowledge of the singer / composer, etc of that song, and doing something to get permission? Or are DJs free to remix any songs they like?"
Digital DJ Tips says:
You can re-edit, remix mash up and generally mess with what you like for your own DJ sets, and often even upload to YouTube to show off your work if you like. (YouTube will just inform you you've used copyrighted material, and put visual advertising over your track and pay the record labels etc on your behalf.) But what you can't do is make any money at all out of your unofficial "remixes", and many services (SoundCloud springs to mind) will often not let you upload such mixes at all. But for personal use, for practice, for creative reasons, for your DJ sets and private mixtapes, I'd say go ahead and don't worry too much about it!
Is this your experience where you happen to be in the world? Have you been surprised what you can "get away with", or conversely, been reprimanded over what you thought was just creative use of material? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

The Type IXA was the first in the Type IX class. Eight such boats were constructed by DeSchiMAG (AG Weser) of Bremen, Germany, seeing service from 1938 to 1939. AG Weser played a major role in the construction of German U-boats in World War 1 and, by this time, had been merged along with eight other shipyards in Germany to become a part of the Deutsche Schiffund Maschinenbau AG (DeSchiMAG), though the AG Weser name was allowed to continue as an independent brand identifier. The shipyard would eventually survive the war and continue production of various maritime vessels up until closure on December 31st, 1983.
Type IXA U-boats ranged from U-37 to U-44. Armament was six torpedo tubes, 1 x 10.5cm deck gun, 1 x 3.7cm Flak gun and 1 x 2cm Flak gun. Her 22 torpedoes could be replaced with 66 mines. From 1943 to 1944, the 10.5cm deck was often omitted and replaced with an additional Flak gun. Of the eight vessels put to sea, six were sunk from 1939 to 1943 while two were scuttled in May of 1945 (U-37 and U-38).
As the Type IXA series was earning its run on the waters, the Type IXB was already being developed. This series encompassed some 14 total boats ranging from U-64 and U-65, U-103 to U-111 and U-122 to U-124 with service running from 1939 to 1940. These submarines were also produced by AG Weser at the Bremen shipyard. Essentially, the Type IXB was an improved class of boat that sought to further improve the operational ranges inherent to the Type IXA design. By the end of it all, the Type IXB group would prove the most successful of all the Type IX series and leave many-a-U-Boat ace to her legacy. The 22 onboard torpedoes could be replaced with 66 mines. Nearly all Type IXB boats could account for an average of 100,000 tons of goods sunk by the war's end. All Type IXB systems were lost with the exception of U-123, her being decommissioned on June 17th, 1944 at Lorient.
The Type IXC was introduced into the series line and quickly became the largest operating group of Type IXC boats. Construction was yet again handled by AG Weser and 54 of its type were produced during the war. The Type IXC was fitted with additional internal fuel stores to further improve the submarine's range. Type IXCs could also be fitted as minelayers and make use of 66 TMB or 44 TMA series mines though most were usually not fitted as such. This group encompassed U-66 through U-68, U-126 through U-131, U-153 through U-166, U-171 through U-176 and U-501 through U-533.
The Type IXC was little bettered in the Type IXC/40 group. These boats were given improved ranges and surface speeds and numbered 87 in total. Construction was handled by AG Weser, Deutsche Werft (Hamburg) and Seebeckwerft (Bremen). There U-boats were U-167 to U-170, U-183 to U-550, U-801 to U-806, U-841 to U-846, U-853 to U-858, U-865 to U-889 and U-1221 to U-1235.
Most all Type IXCs were sunk by the end of the war. Service for the Type IXC ran from 1941 to 1942 while the Type IXC/40 was commissioned from 1942 to 1944.
With development beginning as early as 1940, the Type IXD was put to sea by 1942. These boats were given an extra 35.4 feet of hull length for which to work with. Three subvariants made up the Type IX variant itself and were designated as the IXD1, IXD2 and the IXD2/42.
Two Type IXD1 examples were delivered (U-180 and U-195), but these lacked any viable armament (no torpedoes, just the deck gun and seven Flak cannons), used instead as ocean-going refueling vessels for other U-boats in operation. Type IXD1s could haul some 250 tons of fuel and were faulted for their inconsistent experimental diesel engines - the latter implementation was not used in further Type IXDs that were to follow. The engines were 6 x 20-cylinder, four-stroke Mercedes-Benz MB501 "Vee" diesel systems generating an impressive 9,000 horsepower. These were later replaced by a pair of 6-cylinder, four-stroke Germaniawerft F46 super-charged diesel engines. Submerged power came from 2 x SSW GU345/54 double-acting motors generating 740kW. U-180 was lost west of Bordeaux on August 24th, 1944 and U-195 was taken over by the Japanese on May 6th, 1945.
The Type IXD2 comprised of 28 boats and made up the larger part of the Type IXD class as a whole. These put forth ever increasing operational ranges topping off at an impressive 36,290 miles. Type IXD2s were able to reach operations as far away as Japan and the Indian Ocean, making it one of the more lethal U-Boat systems to date. The torpedo count increased to 24 (or 72 mines in their place). Operations ran from 1942 to 1944 with most sunk before the end of the war.
The Type IXD2/42 was nearly identical to the preceding Type IXD2s but were given improved engines with greater output - approximately 1,000 more horsepower than in the original Type IXD2s. Only two IXD2/42 systems were reportedly made available for service. U-884 was damaged by Allied bombs while still in the dockyard on March 30th, 1945. U-883 surrendered on June 21st, 1945 at Wilhelmshaven.
Type IXD submarines were made up of the U-177 to U-182, U-195 to U-200, U-847 to U-852, U-859 to U-864 and U-871 to U-876. U-883 and U-884 were the only two IXD2/42 completed. U-885, U-886, U-887 and U-888 had begun construction but their progress was cancelled in whole on September 30th, 1943 when the IXD2/42 contract was itself cancelled. From 1943 to 1944, the torpedo tubes were removed from many of the Type IXDs in circulation.
U-505, a Type IXC U-Boat can be seen in all her glory at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois, USA. She was fully restored in 2005. The only other Type ICX preserved is the U-534, available for viewing in Birkenhead, England, UK.
The Type IX was eventually succeeded by the Type X class U-Boat.

You hear it all too often these days, yet another mass shooting. It can be anywhere, a movie theater, a mall, a college campus, and now the sickening trend has somehow included our schools. School, the place that is supposed to be safe and fun, where children of all ages go to learn and grow, make friends, discover talents and gain independence. Now, somehow, it has become a place where parents must take a leap of faith by simply dropping their "babies" off and waving good-bye wearing a big smile on their faces. I know my big, encouraging smile hides an uneasiness and to be quite honest, fear. The fear of the unthinkable, the fear that this "safe haven" is not necessarily so "safe" any longer, in a society where mental illness lurks. Fear that now "lives" in my mind until my child is back in my car at 2:45 pm.
Sitting back, hoping and praying something terrible will not happen in our own communities is simply not an option. How would we all feel if and when something terrible did happen, "could we have done more", "should we have done more"? There would be no excuses. So what must be done? Everything. We cannot put a price tag on human life and safety. For starters, all schools must have a highly trained, full-time school resource officer on campus during the entire school day. It is imperative that there be an officer at each school with the sole purpose and responsibility of keeping the children and staff safe. We have all heard the recommendation by some to train principals, teachers and other school staff and allow them to carry a concealed weapon to protect students, however, we cannot ask or expect them to do more than they already do to provide a safe and stimulating learning environment for our children. An armed security officer who is professionally and extensively trained through our law enforcement system would provide security, peace of mind and act as a deterrent to anyone with ill intentions to even approach a school. If there had been an armed officer in Sandy Hook Elementary School on that horrific day in December, would the outcome have been different? Obviously I cannot answer that question, but I can feel confident in saying there very well could have been a much different outcome, perhaps one where fewer, if any, precious lives were taken.
Funding, funding, funding. Yes, that is what we all hear. Our poor education system is very often the place where funds are pulled from year after year. However, the excuse to do nothing because "there is just no funding to hire additional security officers", is just that, an excuse. The funding must be found. The funding is what is needed to ensure the continued safety of our children, our teachers and our future.
So where can the funding come from? Good question. Taxes? Maybe. How about if we take a look at our South Carolina Education Lottery income? Wait a minute, what was that, the South Carolina Education Lottery? I think it is more than safe to say that part of our education system must include and start with the responsibility to ensure the children's safety. They must be safe in order to learn and grow. I know some of the money created by the lottery is used for college scholarships and I believe these scholarships are very important and earned by many well-deserving, hard-working young adults. Do I want to take anything away from any of those individuals? No, of course I do not. But then I must ask myself, and everyone else along with me, don't our children in elementary, middle and high schools first need to be safe in order to learn and grow and get to the point of heading to college? And further, aren't there other areas in which this lottery money is used that can somehow be reallocated to ensure funding for school resource officers? Maybe even partially? Maybe a little from here and a little from there?
The answer may be that some funding must be shifted in light of this pressing need. Funding may have to come partially from the lottery monies, partially from some other sources, throw in a slight increase in taxes perhaps. I will admit I do not know where it will come from, but I do know it must be found. And now is the time.
I believe very strongly that our friends at the State House and State Senate want what the rest of us want: safe schools and happy and safe children. Join with me in letting your voice be heard. Let's all work together to make this happen. Let's show the nation that South Carolina loves their children and will do whatever it takes to ensure their safety. Let us all know we are doing what it takes to keep our little ones safe in an ever-changing society, a society that too often does not seem to be headed in the right direction. Times are changing and so must the way we approach security in our schools.
