About one third of dentists were self-employed and not incorporated. Almost all dentists work in private practice. According to the ADA, about 3 out of 4 dentists in private practice are sole proprietors, and 1 in 7 belongs to a partnership. A few salaried dentists work in hospitals and offices of physicians.
Job Outlook / Job Forecast
Average employment growth will generate some job openings, but most openings will result from the need to replace the large number of dentists expected to retire. Job prospects should be good as new dentists take over established practices or start their own.
Employment change. Employment of dentists is projected to grow nine percent through 2016, about as fast as the average for all occupations. The demand for dental services is expected to continue to increase. The overall population is growing, particularly the number of older people, which will increase the demand for dental care. As members of the baby-boom generation advance into middle age, a large number will need complicated dental work, such as bridges. In addition, elderly people are more likely to retain their teeth than were their predecessors, so they will require much more care than in the past. The younger generation will continue to need preventive checkups despite an overall increase in the dental health of the public over the last few decades. Recently, some private insurance providers have increased their dental coverage. If this trend continues, those with new or expanded dental insurance will be more likely to visit a dentist than in the past. Also, while they are currently a small proportion of dental expenditures, cosmetic dental services, such as fitting braces for adults as well as children and providing teeth-whitening treatments, have become increasingly popular.
However, employment of dentists is not expected to keep pace with the increased demand for dental services. Productivity increases from new technology, as well as having dental hygienists and assistants perform some tasks, will allow dentists to perform more work than they have in the past. As their practices expand, dentists are likely to hire more hygienists and dental assistants to handle routine services.
Dentists will increasingly provide care and instruction aimed at preventing the loss of teeth, rather than simply providing treatments such as fillings. Improvements in dental technology also will allow dentists to offer more effective and less painful treatment to their patients.
Job prospects. As an increasing number of dentists from the baby-boom generation reach retirement age, many of them will retire or work fewer hours. However, the number of applicants to, and graduates from, dental schools has increased in recent years. Therefore, younger dentists will be able to take over the work from older dentists who retire or cut back on hours, as well as provide dental services to accommodate the growing demand.
Demand for dental services tends to follow the business cycle, primarily because these services usually are paid for either by the patient or by private insurance companies. As a result, during slow times in the economy, demand for dental services can decrease; dentists may have difficulty finding employment, or if already in an established practice, they may work fewer hours because of reduced demand.
Job Demand Forecast
Earnings / Compensation
Median annual earnings of salaried dentists were $136,960 in May 2006. Earnings vary according to number of years in practice, location, hours worked, and specialty. Self-employed dentists in private practice tend to earn more than do salaried dentists.
Dentists who are salaried often receive benefits paid by their employer, with health insurance and malpractice insurance being among the most common. However, like other business owners, self-employed dentists must provide their own health insurance, life insurance, retirement plans, and other benefits.
Related Occupations
Dentists examine, diagnose, prevent, and treat diseases and abnormalities. Chiropractors, optometrists, physicians and surgeons, podiatrists, psychologists, and veterinarians do similar work.

The Audi RS4 Avant Is A Gloriously Mean-Sounding Track Wagon
Need some help waking up this morning? Coffee not strong enough? Then let the sound of the 2013 Audi RS4 Avant's 4.2-liter V8 engine help you out a bit.
Need some help waking up this morning? Coffee not strong enough? Then let the sound of the 2013 Audi RS4 Avant's 4.2-liter V8 engine help you out a bit.
Audi pulled the wraps off the new 2013 RS4 Avant in Geneva, looking every bit like an RS5 longroof. We won't get it here in the US, but that doesn't mean we won't drool over it and all its precision details.
Hold on to your luggage, folks, this is the 2013 Audi RS4 Avant. Audi's überwagon gets an upgrade for the next generation visually, while still sticking with a 450-hp version of the company's 4.2-liter V8.
This is the Players Audi RS4 Avant "RS SYCO," dolled up in Lamborghini orange and sitting on Rotiform SNA rims. Stephen Brooks filmed it gliding through Paris for no particular reason other than to look damn cool.
We already know some of the leaked specs of the upcoming Audi RS4 Avant, but now we know what its bumper looks like. Basically, now we possibly know what the next RS4 looks like.
Details on the next Audi RS4 Avant have leaked out: it's sticking with a naturally-aspirated 4.2 liter V8, putting out 450 horsepower through Audi's dual-clutch, 7-speed, S-tronic gearbox. The worldwide debut will be at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
Although that might look like an S4 Avant, our friends at Carscoop tell us to take a closer look at the heavily-blistered front and rear wheel arches. You'll see the same dark 20-inch alloy rims found on the RS5 Coupe, as well as a modified front bumper with different air vents to supply additional cooling to the…
The Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon needs sparing partners, so we're pleased to see Audi testing what looks like a new RS4 Avant überwagon with a 500-ish hp twin-turbo V8. Is someone reading my dream journal? Is a denim chicken next?

The spa and new restaurant at the St. Regis Aspen have both recently received awards for excellence.
Chefs Club, the new restaurant that features a rotating cast of past winners of Food & Wine magazine's Best New Chefs award in the kitchen, received the AAA Four Diamond Award.
Remede Spa also has been honored with the Forbes Four Star rating, and Travel+Leisure magazine ranked the spa second in the U.S. and sixth-best worldwide.
Both establishments remind Aspen to keep an eye out for locals' specials this off-season.
Aspen-based public relations and marketing firm Darnauer Group Communications won top awards for its community outreach and web design work in three prestigious, international competitions.
The firm's work on the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport Master plan received a Platinum Award for the "communications campaign" category from Hermes Creative Awards, and an Award of Distinction in the "community awareness program" category from The Communicator Awards.
Darnauer Group also won an Award of Distinction from The Communicator Awards, a Gold Award from Hermes Creative Awards and a Silver Award from Summit International Awards for the design of the website for the proposed Mid Valley Recreation Center in El Jebel.

Drug Resales Get Scrutiny
March 23, 2012
The American pharmaceutical industry has been rocked by shortages of major drugs in recent years, many of which have been of vital importance for fighting major diseases such as cancer. While major providers scramble to keep drugs in stock, federal lawmakers seem to have uncovered a strikingly unethical business practice that some pharmacies are using to drive up prices, says the Wall Street Journal.
The basic procedure is that drug distributors set up additional and unnecessary middlemen in the supply chain between wholesalers and health care providers. These intermediary companies allow greater opportunity to inflate prices and better exploit drug shortages for profit.
A document reviewed by the Wall Street Journal regarding a distributor in North Carolina demonstrates the model:
- Cardinal Health, one of three major drug wholesalers in the United States, sold the cancer drug fluorouracil to LTC Pharmacy of Durham, N.C.
- The pharmacy then sold the drug to International Pharmaceuticals Inc., a North Carolina distributor.
- It was subsequently discovered that LTC Pharmacy and International Pharmaceuticals Inc. are owned by the same person.
- Furthermore, North Carolina's Department of Agriculture, which conducts annual inspections of drug wholesalers in the state, discovered that they shared the same building.
- The faux intermediary company allows the eventual distributor to further inflate the price of the final sale to the provider.
As additional cases in other states, including Maryland and New Jersey, demonstrate, the scheme can allow distributors to inflate prices by orders of magnitude.
- The drug from the North Carolina case eventually made it to PRN Pharmaceuticals, a Rockville, Maryland, distributor, which had offered it to hospitals for $350 a vial.
- The drug normally sells for $15 a vial.
- A Maryland-based pharmacy, Priority Healthcare, bought fluorouracil for $6.77 a vial and then sold it to Tri-Med America, which then sold the drug to another company for $69 a vial.

[HACKERS] What executes faster? Now that I've found the solution for my duplicate key problem, I'm wondering what executes faster when I have to check for duplicates. 1. try to update if no row affected -> do the insert else done 2. do a select if row not found -> do the insert else do the update Another idea I'm thinking about: I'm doing the check for duplicate key by myself now. Aren't insert commands running faster, if I replace an unique index by a not-unique index. Regards, Christoph

Here is a sentence you probably never expected to read: Utah's governor supports civil unions.
Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., a spokeswoman said Monday, backs Equality Utah's Common Ground Initiative, a legislative effort that would provide some rights to gay and transgender Utahns. Even more, the Republican governor favors civil unions.
It's a position that runs counter to his political party and against the majority of Utahns -- 70 percent of whom oppose civil unions, according to a recent Salt Lake Tribune poll.
"He's long supported many of the ideas that are presented within the Common Ground Initiative," said Lisa Roskelley, the governor's spokeswoman, noting her boss waits to endorse specific bills officially until presented to him in final form. "He supports civil unions."
It's doubtful Huntsman's backing will lead to civil unions getting past the conservative Legislature. And it may not help the rest of this year's gay-rights legislative push, which already has shrunk from four bills to two.
On Day Two of the 2009 Legislature, a measure died in committee that would have allowed financial dependents -- besides spouses, parents and children -- to sue in the event of a breadwinner's wrongful death.
And last week, Rep. Jackie Biskupski, D-Salt Lake City, ditched her proposal, which would have sought the Legislature's and voters' approval to erase the second part of Amendment 3 -- Utah's constitutional gay-marriage ban -- that forbids civil unions.
Huntsman, who endorsed Amendment 3 when he ran for governor in 2004, now favors repealing that portion, Roskelley said.
She said the governor was unavailable to comment Monday.
Jeff Reynolds, spokesman for the conservative Salt Lake City-based Sutherland Institute think tank, which opposes the Common Ground Initiative, said he's "not surprised" by Huntsman's softened stand.
"He had to be dragged to the altar of Amendment 3," Reynolds said in an e-mail, "and everyone has known since then that Governor Huntsman would rather be nice than right."
Biskupski was pleased by the news that Huntsman supports civil unions.
"Wow. That's absolutely fantastic. I wish the rest of the state felt the same way," she said. "That's definitely a door to walk through."
Senate President Michael Waddoups, R-Taylorsville, and House Speaker Dave Clark, R-Santa Clara, did not respond to requests for comment on Huntsman's position. Neither did Sen. Chris Buttars, R-West Jordan and a high-profile Common Ground foe.
Of the remaining Common Ground bills, one would make it illegal to fire or evict someone for being gay or transgender. The other would allow two, unmarried cohabiting adults to file a "declaration of joint support" with their county recorder and gain benefits of inheritance and medical-decision making.
"We appreciate that the governor sees these are common-sense solutions to problems that Utahns are facing," said Will Carlson, Equality Utah's public-policy manager. "We'll take all the help we can get."
Still, he acknowledged the governor's support won't necessarily sway any votes on Capitol Hill. "It sure didn't help liquor laws or cigarette taxes much," Carlson noted.
But he said the governor could make the difference on a nonlegislative piece of the Common Ground Initiative: extending state employees' health benefits to domestic partners.
Roskelley said the governor supports the concept but insisted the change would have to be done legislatively. Carlson said the Legislature's OK would be needed only if the policy change requires additional appropriations. But he said the cost of expanding health benefits would be "negligible."
Tribune reporter Derek P. Jensen contributed to this story.
Although down to two bills, Equality Utah and other gay-rights advocates will continue to fight for enhanced protections for gay and transgender people through the following measures:
Fair housing and employment » HB267 would make it illegal to fire an employee or evict a tenant for being gay or transgender. Sponsor: Rep. Christine Johnson, D-Salt Lake City.
Domestic-partner rights » HB160 would allow same-sex couples to file "declarations of joint support" that would provide rights of inheritance and medical-decision making. Sponsor: Rep. Jennifer Seelig, D-Salt Lake City.

Nottinghamshire return to LV=County Championship action this week with a trip to Lord's to face Middlesex just two weeks before Notts return to the capital for the final of this summer's Yorkshire Bank 40.
Notts all-rounder Steven Mullaney played a pivotal role in sending Notts to the YB40 final, taking 3-35 as Somerset were reduced to 119 all out, but is focussed on the county's task at large, retaining their LV=CC Division One status.
"It's hugely important that we put last night to the back of our minds," he said.
"We need to switch our mentality very quickly back around to four-day cricket, we have two very important matches before we go back to Lord's for the final.
"We need to focus our attention on the County Championship for the next two weeks."
"The final won't be a distraction, there is enough experience in the team to get away from that," added Mullaney.
"The fact is that we need to win a game and more than that, we need to put in two very good performances and keep our first division status.
"It's good that we have those players to come in, the likes of Andre, Fletch and Franks bring experience and quality to the side.
"It also gives us a chance to rest players that might need it, but whichever eleven take to the pitch at Lord's this week will need to work hard and perform."
Notts will have been boosted by their bowling performance against Somerset, taking all ten wickets in 25.4 overs. They have found it difficult to close innings in recent outings, and this performance will have brought heart to the Notts bowlers.
"We closed two innings against Warwickshire and were unlucky because of the weather," said Mullaney
"It's what we've struggled to do, but hopefully we can do it again this week.
"We'll need to bowl well, and we have the quality to do so.
"The first priority will be to secure our status in this division, and then start to look up the table."
Middlesex currently lie 13th in the LV=CC table and after taking apart Surrey in their last outing will be in confident mood. Mullaney was under no illusion of the task at hand, and their opposition's strengths.
"They're a very strong side, led by Chris Rogers, who has just played in The Ashes," he said.
"They have Sam Robson, who has scored a lot of runs and a good bowling attack. It'll be a tough test for us; Ollie Rayner has just come back from taking fifteen wickets in a game.
"All of that said, I'm really looking forward to my first game at Lord's."
Nottinghamshire Squad to face Middlesex (from): Andre Adams, Luke Fletcher, Paul Franks, Harry Gurney, Alex Hales, David Hussey, Michael Lumb, Steven Mullaney, Samit Patel, Chris Read (c), Ajmal Shahzad, James Taylor, Riki Wessels.

Wow, woman, the Bertrams of Ellangowan are the auld Dingawaies lang syne.
I was an undertaker ten year in Lockerby, but I left there lang syne.
This is the "Music House," where the Prince's band were wont to play in days "lang syne."
And anyway, that's over and done: he'll be joined to the rest of them lang syne.
I was looking for fame and fortune, thought of which blinded my eyes to something far better—scenes and friendships of lang syne.
Little did the fugitive groom desire now to recall "lang syne," and renew a former acquaintance.
They're a' ower the march lang syne; there's no a horn o' them about the tower.
Such, I am sorry to say, was the character of most of the sailor landlords in "days lang syne."
An Irish gentleman shot in a duel in lang syne, was poetically described as having been left "quivering on a daisy."
If the dead know aught, lang syne you must have known I knew nothing of the evil deed done upon you.

Low, wet woods with considerable undergrowth, where skunk cabbage and hellebore flourish are the home of the Veery.
There is a salad made out of what looks like skunk cabbage leaves.
I shouldn't think honey flavoured with skunk cabbage would be fit to eat.
Thus, the skunk cabbage is the first flower in all this region.
The skunk cabbage raises his hooded head first in sheltered hollows.
He cooked the four seals and covered them with skunk cabbage leaves.
In describing pollination of the skunk cabbage, the words "rub off" are ambiguous.
"I can pull out any skunk cabbage with my teeth," said Deer.
Mrs. Wright confirms my memory by calling it "a horrible thing—the skunk cabbage of the garden."
It is more like the skunk cabbage which gets a head in the world, but is always in bad odor.

STS covers the cost of a study trip to Israel for its students!
Quite simply, that is the essence of the Israel Initiative, a commitment born of two realities. First, the simple fact that such a trip is of inestimable value to the student preparing to handle the Word of God. And second, the remarkable reality that we live in that very narrow window of history during which the land of Israel – a land which was functionally closed from AD 70-1967 – is actually accessible, indeed ready and eager to be explored as the stage on which so much of the drama of God's "mighty acts" unfolded. Given all of that, the seminary is committed to raise the funds necessary to provide a full study trip for its students.
The Apostle Paul testified to a special love for the people of Israel , and he enjoined that same affection upon all believers (Rom 9:1-5; 11:28-36). The modern state of Israel is the most dramatic and important concentration of Jewish people and culture since AD 70, and that nation is much cherished at STS for several reasons:
First (and this is the apostle's point in his epistle to the Romans), Israel is the people through whom God has chosen to manifest His glory in the course of human history. This is not because of any special merit or deservedness on the part of that people; indeed, her very hardness—hardness which resembles that of any fallen human soul/spirit but which has been rather spectacularly on display in the course of sacred history—is key to God's plan to demonstrate Himself absolutely faithful to His covenant promises despite the undeniable ill-desert of those who enjoy the good fruit of those promises.
But even given that, the inescapable biblical reality is that there is one people whom God has chosen to bear His name to a fallen world. That nation has done so haltingly and reluctantly — but inexorably, simply because "the gifts and calling of God are without repentance" (Romans 11:29). And the world in which Israel has been placed as an enduring and compelling (albeit unenthusiastic) testimony to Yahweh is a world which desperately hates that God and all that He claims concerning Himself. For which reason Israel's stewardship has always been horribly painful. And for which reason there ought to erupt in the heart of the Christian today a special affection for that nation — an affection, again, which mirrors that of the apostle.
Second, the nation's very existence is a compelling demonstration of God's covenant faithfulness, and specifically, of His capacity to work providentially in accomplishing that fidelity to His promises (that is, through means, apart from miraculous intervention, in a way which is deliberately illustrated and foreseen in the delightful and strategically located book of Esther).
Third (though not finally—there are other reasons as well), STS treasures Israel—the land and the people—as a remarkably strategic and amazingly accessible (amazing, given that it was functionally inaccessible until 1967 and could be politically closed at any time) teaching tool in the effort to equip students to do grammatical-historical exegesis. A teacher is always advantaged to have visual aids for his students. Israel is, in effect, a giant blackboard that teacher and students can walk around on! It is for this reason that STS has introduced the Israel Initiative: a commitment to provide our students with a full study trip to Israel.

Brinker International's (NYSE:EAT) Chili's Grill & Bar restaurants around the country will start serving pizza this year.
Pizza is being introduced as part of the company's program to enhance its menu as it updates its kitchens. Company-owned restaurants will see the new kitchens first, with franchised locations following, Restaurant News notes.
Chili's is positioning its pizza offerings as a single-person meal. Company officials said the cost of producing the pizza was low, helping boost the company's profit margin.
Earlier this week, Brinker posted second-quarter earnings of $37.2 million, up from $35.7 million in the same period last year, on revenue that climbed 1.1% to $689.8 million.
Last month, Chili's unveiled new appetizers and desserts, including mango-chile chicken, mango-chile tilapia, chocolate-chip cookies and soft pretzels. The new menu items are designed to take advantage of updated kitchen equipment.
Shares of Brinker International rose about 1% in Thursday midday trading.

National Parks
Fauna and flora of Sri Lanka that beautify the little Island are protected and preserved in several national parks and nature reserves offering the visitor an opportunity to taste the natural beauty. There are eleven such National Parks in the Island but the most popular for viewing animals are the Ruhuna (also called Yala), Uda Walawe and Wilpattu National Parks. From the safety of a park bungalow or a covered jeep, visitors can watch several species of animals and birds roaming freely in these extensive reserves
Ruhuna (Yala) National Park is at the south eastern corner of the Island, 288 km. from Colombo. It is the second largest national Park of the country with an area of 97,878 hectares. A wide range of wild animals including elephants, leopard, bear, sambur, spotted deer and a variety of birds including the jungle fowl and the peacock roam freely in this jungle. The park enjoys a short recess in the month of October every year when it is closed to visitors. Visitors are therefore advised to check with the Travel Information Centre of the Ceylon Tourist Board at 80, Galle Road, Colombo 3 (opposite Hotel Lanka Oberoi) or with the Department of Wildlife.
Wilpattu National Park near Puttalam in the northwestern region of the Island is the largest in the country covering 131,693 hectares. It is well known for its leopard, bear and birdlife. Other animals include spotted deer, wild boar, water buffalo, bear and migrant birds. (Note: The Park is closed to visitors at present)
Uda Walawe
Uda Walawe located near Embilipitiya in the catchment area of Walwe River bordering Ratnapura/Moneragala Districts is another popular National Park 30,821 hectares in extent famous for its large herds of wild elephant
Elephant Orphanages (Pinnawala & Uda Walawe)
Sri Lanka is the only country in the world to open elephant orphanages to protect the destitute young wild elephants. The first elephant orphanage was opened at Pinnawala about 90 km. northeast of Colombo. Young elephants left in the jungle without care are brought to this orphanage and tendered till they reach maturity. Interesting time to visit the orphanage is at the bathing time when the herd is brought to a river flowing close by or at feeding time to see the babies being bottle-fed. The orphanage at Uda Walawe was opened recently.
Sri Lanka has a wide range of endemic birds. In addition there are several migrant birds who make annual visits from far away lands to their favourite roosting places in the Island. The best viewing period is from January to April and again from August when migrant birds arrive. A number of bird sanctuaries have been designated in addition to the national Parks. The most popular bird sanctuaries are at Kumana, Bundala National Park, Wirawila and Udawattakele.
Kumana is one of the main bird sanctuaries of the Island located within the Yala East National Park. It is a popular roosting place of migrant birds arriving in October every year. Peacock, jungle fowl, barbets, hornbills, orioles, are among the several bird species that can be seen here. A special feature is the mangrove swamps nesting numerous aquatic birds like flamingos, pelican, painted stork, heron, open-billed stork and spoonbills.
Bundala National Park (264 km. from Colombo) between Hambantota and Tissamaharama provides a roosting place to several migratory birds like flamingos, painted stork, egrets, herons, spoon bills and a wide range of local bird species.
Wirawila bird sanctuary is located near Hambantota bordering an irrigation tank. Aquatic birds like herons, pelicans, painted storks and other birds like orioles, kingfishers frequent this region.
A forest reserve in Kandy is the home for a large number of bird species. Among them are the bulbul, barbet, flycatcher, babbler, woodpeckers and kingfishers. Flora Nearly 4,000 species of plants constitute the rich and diverse flora of Sri Lanka of which around 1,000 species are endemic. This wide range of plant species is spread through the wet and dry zones of the country. Sri Lanka's endemic flora is protected within a tropical rain forest reserve called Sinharaja. There are three botanical gardens in Sri Lanka at Peradeniya, Hakgala and Gampaha displaying a large collection of tropical and sub tropical plant species. Sri Lanka's orchids are world renowned. About 166 recorded species of orchids are found in the Island of which about 66 are endemic.
Sinharaja, the 'Forest of the Lion King' in the southwestern hills is the only virgin tropical rain forest in Sri Lanka and has been declared a World Heritage Site. With an average annual rainfall of 3,000 mm. and without a clear dry period it has within its remaining 11,330 hectares of land area rare species of tropical flora and fauna. As the name suggests it is believed to be the last refuge of the Sri Lankan lion now an extinct species. Safe accommodation is available to tourists within the forest reserve.
Peradeniya Botanical Gardens
The Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya (109 km. from Colombo) near Kandy was laid out in 1821 by the British colonial rulers. Prior to that it was the Royal Pleasure Garden of the Kandyan Kings. It is located in a beautiful setting with the longest river of Sri Lanka, Mahaveli bordering it on one side. This attractively laid out garden displays many varieties of floral and green plants. Special features are the Orchid House which displays a fine collection of Sri Lankan orchids, the fernery, spice garden, and the trees planted by distinguished visitors to the Island.
This is close to Nuwara Eliya at an elevation of 1800 metres. It displays sub-tropical and montane flora. This garden too was laid out during the period of British colonial rule. Beautiful flowering plants are a big attraction.
This is close to Colombo only 32 km. away at Gampaha. A special feature is the first rubber tree planted in Sri Lanka that can still be seen at Henerathgoda Gardens.

Today Baby Leone, 6-year-old Etani, and I walked downtown in search of a haircut.
James started to cut Etani's hair a month ago but made the mistake of letting Etani look in the mirror before he was done. Etani let out a howl of misery, "It's too short," he wailed. "I hate it. I hate it." He refused to let James finish and has been going around with uneven hair–a cross between an unruly shag and a Dutch boy cut–ever since. No amount of cajoling, begging, or even bribery would convince Etani to let James near his head with a pair of scissors.
Leone, who is two months old today, slept soundly in the front pack until we finally found a hair salon with a slot available. When the stylist, Bruce, called Etani sit on the booster seat atop the chair, Leone started fidgeting.
Her diaper was dry. I took her to the bathroom.
We haven't been going diaper free but we have been trying to learn Leone's signals and hold her over the chamber pot when she needs to go.
Last week for two days in a row Leone did not wet a single diaper until the afternoon. Every time I "catch" a pee or a poop, I feel giddy that it actually works, that I have one less diaper to wash, and that this is a way I can respond to my baby's needs.
The idea behind infant pottying is that you, as a parent or baby's caregiver, learn to read a baby's signals that it is time to pee or poop. Some people call this "Elimination Communication" or EC. It's also called Natural Infant Hygiene.
At the same time as you learn to read a baby's signals, you teach the baby to associate a sound with going potty. We are saying "PSSS" for pee and making a soft grunt for poop.
From a surprisingly young age a baby can learn to relax her sphincter muscles and pee or poop–provided her bladder or bowels are ready–on cue.
It still seems amazing to me. I'm still not sure how the whole thing works but I figure if Leone is diaper free a fraction of the time, the savings to the environment will be profound.
Diaper free also means rash free.
So I took her into the bathroom at the hair salon. She'd been dry for two hours and I figured she was probably ready to pee. Timing is one way to know when a baby has to go. Their signals to you (it turns out most, if not all, infants will give a sign–fussing, flailing, looking away, grunting–that they need to urinate or defecate) is another. Making a cueing sound so the baby pees on cue is a third way for parents to practice infant pottying. And some parents say they just rely on intuition.
We're so new at this I'm not sure which of these methods we're practicing but I figured I'd hold Leone over the toilet and see what happened. But squatting there hurt my back so I decided to stand and hold her over the sink instead. We smiled at each other in the mirror and then Leone peed in the sink. "PSSS," I remembered to say.
Bruce got Etani's hair all neatened up. Now you can see his handsome face.
But Etani was uncharacteristically quiet as we walked home.
"I hate my stupid idiot haircut," he finally blurted out.
"I think it's adorable. I think you look like a rock star," I said.
"Should I be a dancer or an artist when I grow up?" I overheard Etani ask his 8-year-old sister Athena as they were brushing their teeth at bedtime.
Maybe Etani and Leone will start a band together: The Chamber Pots.

Irony: "Indie" rock now on gov't subsidies
posted at 11:38 am on May 7, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Via Nick Gillespie, the indie-rock movement is going to have to find a new name:
For the first time, the U.S. government's trade arm is stepping in to help the music business, funding trade missions to Brazil and Asia in recent months for the heads of a dozen independent music labels, which make up one-third of the U.S. music market.
It is a departure for the International Trade Administration, which has been spending $2 million annually to boost exports for the past two decades under its Market Development Cooperator Program but has never before given one of its $300,000 grants to the music industry, instead favoring sectors like machinery, technology and engineering services.
Until last year the agency hadn't received a music-industry application worthy of the award, an ITA spokesman said. Indeed, it hadn't received an application at all.
"We need to find new revenue streams," said Rich Bengloff, president of the American Association of Independent Music, whose idea it was to apply for the grant. He led the trips and arranged meetings with local distributors, mobile-phone carriers, booking agents and ad agencies. "We now need to adjust to a smaller monetization at home."
Indie labels see big opportunities in Latin America and Asia—and visiting in person pays off, especially in markets such as Japan, where fans favor foreign artists that spend time in their country engaging with locals and making TV appearances.
Many of the independent label heads that visited Seoul, Shanghai and Hong Kong this fall as part of the ITA grant program have since signed foreign distribution and licensing deals that will generate hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, Mr. Bengloff said. The deals could represent as much as a quarter of a small independent label's revenue, he said.
Nick is gobsmacked at the contradiction:
You know what was one of the things that made rock and roll (and pop music, broadly defined) so freaking great? Precisely the fact that it not only developed without the sorts elite, class-based subsidies lavished on opera, ballet, later jazz, etc., but in spite of them. And to the not-inconsiderable role rock and pop played in defeating international communism, it's worth noting that pop music was constantly under attack in both the "free" world and behind the Iron Curtain.
For god's sake, even the major record labels hated rock (prefering the phony folk music parlayed during the '50s and early '60s) for the longest time. And now, indie rockers are the new cronies.
In the Age of Obama, I guess there's nothing hipper than Government Rock. Nothing says "rebellion" like taking handouts from The Man, it seems.

Here's another tool for those of you interested in playing video inside of Acrobat.
The standard Video Tool in Acrobat 9 allows you embed a single video the PDF file or stream it from a URL and allows you to play a video in your PDF file. But what if you wanted to play more than one? What if you wanted to embed a small, low resolution video but provide the option to stream an HD version with the click of a button. Using the default video player, you would need to add separate widgets which may not be the behavior you really want.
The Video Player Plus Widget for Acrobat allows you to…
- Embed multiple videos in the same video widget
- Programmatically switch between the embedded videos and streaming content
- Programmatically switch between embedded player skins
- Programmatically change the skin color and behavior
You can even use the Video Player Plus Widget to replace the default video player that ships with Adobe Acrobat 9.

Women's studies recognizes the complexity of human lives as gender interconnects with sexuality, race, class, ability, nationality, ethnicity, religion, and age in the constitution of experience and identities. It thus seeks to provide insights which lead one beyond older and more exclusionary theories and practices. The program is at its core interdisciplinary, integrating knowledge from different disciplines to encourage critical engagement with all forms of experience from a feminist standpoint. Interdisciplinary study leads students to question frameworks, concepts, and methods, enabling them to understand better both the past and the contemporary world, while envisioning a future beyond traditional roles and inequities. By emphasizing interdisciplinarity, the program seeks to help students acquire the tools to analyze critically the societal, cultural, global, and personal issues that shape their lives and challenge them to look at these issues from multiple perspectives. It also encourages them to reflect on the ways in which knowledge is produced within different and oftentimes unrecognized systems of oppression, and to examine categories that are presented as natural and permanent in their cultural and historical context. Finally, the program strives to help students acquire the skills of critical analysis and imagine alternatives that challenge the naturalizing of inequalities. Consonant with the goal of promoting new theoretical frameworks, the related and emerging field of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer studies provides the basis for an independent minor affiliated with the Women's Studies Program. It is described below. Major Program A minimum of eight courses, three of which are required as follows: WMST 202, Women's Lives: An Introduction to Women's Studies.

Some suggested topics are family studies; women in the United States; global perspectives on women; women, work, and family; women and social change; women and religion; and women, knowledge, and text. Minor Program A minimum of five courses, two of which are required as follows: WMST 202, Women's Lives: An Introduction to Women's Studies WMST 490, Senior Seminar At least three courses from the list approved for the major. These are taken in at least two different departments and are chosen in consultation with an adviser selected from the Women's Studies Program staff. Honors and High Honors Students who qualify and choose to work toward honors in women's studies should announce their intention to do so by submitting proposals preceding their final term of study at Colgate. A proposal requires the sponsorship and direction of a women's studies faculty member, a secondary reader affiliated with the women's studies program, and approval of the director. The Women's Studies Advisory Committee will be notified of this proposal prior to the final term of study. During the final term, honors candidates register for WMST 499 and carry out individual research projects related to their central topics of study. Women's studies honors theses are approximately 30pages in length and may include an additional creative or applied component, such as poetry, policy, or memoir. All projects need to be written using reflexive voice and first person. At minimum, students should address how the project is personally relevant to them. Honors in women's studies may be awarded to majors who have a GPA of at least 3.20 in all women's studies courses, who have completed an approved women's studies honors project, and whose projects have been approved by faculty sponsors and by the women's studies director. High honors in women's studies may be awarded to successful honors candidates who have been invited to present the results of their written projects in oral form to the women's studies faculty. A committee of faculty will vote on granting high honors for exceptionally strong intersectional projects that engage feminist theory and communicate across disciplines. Awards See "Honors and Awards: Women's Studies" in Chapter VI. Course Offerings Courses unique to the Women's Studies Program are described below. Descriptions of other courses noted above may be found under appropriate departments. 202 Women's Lives: An Introduction to Women's Studies H. Julien, M. Loe, C. Serna, M. Simonson, S. Wider This interdisciplinary course explores women's past and present circumstances and envisions future possibilities. Through a variety of materials and methodologies, issues of gender are analyzed in their intersections with such factors as class, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and historical-cultural location. Students also are introduced to the various "waves" of "the women's movement/s," as well as to different feminist frameworks for understanding the world. 205 Queer Latina Visualities C. Serna This class examines the synergetic relation between queer Latina feminist art, theory, and resistance. Students will learn how queer Latina visualities are shaped by historical, social, and political forces — like colonialism, racism, and capitalism — and how queer Latina artists, in turn, act upon and shape the social world. The course argues that queer Latina feminist artists enact queer Latina visualities as a means to challenge existing power dynamics, embody empowering decolonial knowledges, and to construct new realities rooted in social justice. Students will investigate queer Chicana/Latina feminist texts, asking how notions of self, place, memory, relationality, and knowledge are represented, contested, and reconstructed by queer Latina feminist artists. 301 Feminist Methodologies Staff Is there a distinct feminist method of carrying out research? How do feminist methodologies challenge — or complement — conventional methodologies? This course provides a framework for thinking about methods and methodologies from a feminist perspective. The course examines how feminist scholars challenge dominant theories of knowledge through a lens that recognizes multiple, interrelated axes of inequality. Readings ask how feminist epistemologies (theories of knowledge) shape research questions and how feminist methodologies (the theory and analysis of how research should proceed) shape research methods and relationships between researchers and research participants. Prerequisite: WMST 202 or permission of instructor. 302 Women's Lives in Biography and Autobiography Staff "What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The World would split open." So wrote the poet Muriel Rukeyser. In this seminar students read autobiography and biography in order to understand the woman and her culture. The course balances a study of the lives of prominent, exceptional women with study of the ordinary lives of ordinary people. 490 Seminar Staff The course is taught by the members of the women's studies faculty, and the content of the course takes a different shape depending on the instructor. There are common elements that define the way the seminar is structured and taught. The content of the course is interdisciplinary; the course is rooted in and utilizes feminist theory; students complete major research projects; and, where appropriate, students engage in some form of praxis in the process of understanding the connection between the classroom and the world in which we live. Preference given to senior majors and minors; other students with background in women's studies must have permission of instructor. Although juniors may take the course with permission of instructor, majors and minors are still required to take it in the spring semester of their senior year. 291, 391, 491 Independent Study 499 Honors Studies Affiliated Minor in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Studies Professor Valente Assistant Professor Barreto Advisory Committee Julien, Kemp-DeLisser, Loe, Maitra, Rugg, Serna, Simonson, Spring (Director), Stern, Valente, Woolley The affiliated minor in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer studies (LGBT) examines the lives and representations of individuals and groups considered sexual minorities, as well as the various forces that have affected them across cultures and throughout time. Sexuality offers a critical lens to analyze communities, cultures, and subcultures; institutions, discourses, and literatures; economic and political movements; the social construction of power, status, and hierarchies; and identity categories configured on the basis of age, ability, class, ethnicity, gender, race, and religion. Moreover, sexuality is considered as the subject of biological, medical, and psychological research. LGBT studies is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary minor that emphasizes the application of new theories and methodologies (e.g., queer, feminist, critical race, and multicultural theories) to established disciplines as it promotes the generation of new knowledge within traditional fields. Through the minor, students gain critical understandings of normative categorization, query unspoken assumptions, examine social stratification and distributions of power, and explore the diversity of forms that sexuality has taken historically and in contemporary contexts. Minor Program A minimum of five courses, of which: At least three courses should be at the 300 or 400 level No more than two courses should come from a single department or program other than LGBT No more than one course should earn credit for an LGBT minor and the student's major One course must be taken from the following list and completed prior to declaring the minor: LGBT 220, Lives, Communities, and Modes of Critical Inquiry: An Exploration into LGBTQ Studies LGBT/EDUC 241, Queering Education SOCI 220, Gender, Sexuality, and Society At least four additional courses chosen from the following lists and in consultation with an adviser typically selected from the LGBT Advisory Committee: CLAS 232, Sexuality and Gender in Ancient Greece and Rome ENGL 341, Critical Theory: History, Sexuality, and Queer Time LGBT 220, Lives, Communities, and Modes of Critical Inquiry: An Exploration into LGBTQ Studies LGBT/EDUC 241, Queering Education LGBT 303, Queer Identities and Global Discourses LGBT 350, Sexuality, Gender, and the Law POSC 415, Seminar: Social Justice Politics and Policy SOCI 220, Gender, Sexuality, and Society WMST 205, Queer Latina Visualities Other courses may be counted toward an LGBT minor, depending on the orientation of the course and/or the direction of the readings and student projects during a particular year. Such courses need the approval of the instructor and the LGBT director to be counted toward an LGBT minor. These courses include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: ANTH 221, Kinship and Marriage ANTH 315, Gender and Culture ANTH 371, Gender and Society in Africa ENGL 340, Critical Theory: Language, Semiotics, and Form ENGL 363, Contemporary Fiction FMST 350, Hollywood and the World: Performing Gender and Sexuality Onscreen FREN 445, 20th-Century French Autobiography FREN 450, 20th-Century French Literature I LGBT 391, 491, Independent Study WMST 202, Women's Lives: An Introduction to Women's Studies WMST 205, Queer Latina Visualities Completing the minor requires students to work closely with their course instructors, their advisers, and the LGBT director. Students are encouraged to incorporate a capstone experience, such as pursuing an independent study or undertaking a thesis within one's department that meaningfully incorporates LGBTQ-related scholarship. Course Offerings Courses unique to the LGBT minor are described below. Descriptions of other courses noted above may be found under appropriate departments. 220 Lives, Communities, and Modes of Critical Inquiry: An Exploration into LGBTQ Studies. K. Valente The course explores the lives, experiences, and representations of LGBTQ persons, those who identify or are identified as transgressive in terms of their sexuality and/or gender expression. Particular emphases may vary, but topics typically explore LGBTQ communities and families, cultures, and subcultures; histories, institutions, and literatures; and/or economic and political lives. Selected topics serve to expose complex cultural forces that continue to shape sexuality and regulate its various expressions. The course promotes the examination of new theories and methodologies in relation to established disciplines as it underscores the generation of new knowledge within traditional fields of scholarship. By examining sexualities, students gain an understanding of and respect for other differences in human lives such as age, ability, class, ethnicity, gender, race, and religion. This course counts toward the Social Relations, Institutions, and Agents area of inquiry requirement. 241 Queering Education This course is crosslisted as EDUC 241. For course description, see "Educational Studies: Course Offerings." 303 Queer Identities and Global Discourses K. Valente Queer identities are — and have long been — enmeshed within large-scale circuits of exchange engendered by the movement of people, ideologies, markets, and capital. This course considers transnational conceptualizations and circulations associated with gender or sexual nonconformity. In doing so, it emphasizes ways of interrogating queer citizenship that purposefully attend to dynamics exemplifying complex interactions on global and local scales. Rather than assuming a particular narrative, the course examines the way by which queer identities are variously constructed and contested. 350 Sexuality, Gender, and the Law Staff The course examines the effects of the U.S. legal system on the lives of the LGBTQ communities; the influence of religion, science, and culture on the laws affecting LGBTQ individuals; and the processes by which LGBTQ citizens may advance their legal rights. Constitutional theories such as equal protection, privacy, due process, liberty interests, and states' rights are applied to issues such as consensual sodomy, same-sex marriage, LGBTQ parenting, employment rights, military policy, and freedoms of public school students. The power of the U.S. Supreme Court to shape laws concerning LGBTQ issues not only for the present society but for future generations is also examined. Cases studied are supplemented with secondary works. These works include writings by traditional legal scholars as well as works by feminists, race-based scholars, and queer theorists to create a fuller perspective. Through this exploration into the legal reality of a marginalized group, students see how the U.S. legal system continues to evolve in its struggle to provide equality for all of its citizens. This course counts toward the Social Relations, Institutions, and Agents area of inquiry requirement. 291, 391, 491 Independent Study Academics Majors and Minors Departments and Programs Off-Campus Study Core Curriculum Research Fellowships & Scholarships Scholars Programs Pre-Professional Planning Academic Calendar University Catalogue Course Offerings Libraries RELATED LINKS Libraries LIBRARIES Colgate's state-of-the-art libraries power the research of students and faculty.

WSJ misleadingly defended proposed Katrina commission
Attempting to dismiss Democratic criticism of the Republican-proposed House-Senate investigation into failures in the government's response to Hurricane Katrina, a September 19 Wall Street Journal editorial [1] (subscription required) claimed that committee Democrats -- who would be outnumbered by Republicans -- would "have access to the same investigative facts and witnesses" as Republicans. This claim is highly misleading [2], however, as only Republicans would have subpoena power.
The Washington Post reported [3] on September 8 that "House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the new commission 'is not truly bipartisan, will not be made up of equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans, cannot write legislation and will not have bipartisan subpoena power.' " The Journal's claim that Democrats would "have the same access" to witnesses as Republicans ignores the fact that Democrats on the committee would not have subpoena power and would, therefore, have access to only those witnesses and documents sought by Republicans.
The text of the legislation [4] calling for the commission, introduced in the House of Representatives, states that "[t]he select committee shall be composed of 20 members appointed by the Speaker, of whom 9 shall be appointed after consultation with the Minority Leader." The bill further states that subpoena power for the commission will be governed by the Rules of the House of Representatives, which state [5] that subpoenas may be issued "only when authorized by the committee or subcommittee, a majority being present," and "[t]he power to authorize and issue subpoenas ... may be delegated to the chairman of the committee under such rules and under such limitations as the committee may prescribe. Authorized subpoenas shall be signed by the chairman of the committee or by a member designated by the committee." The House resolution was approved on September 15; the bill has not yet passed through the Senate.

Great wiring kit.
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
The Rockford Fosgate RFK4X wiring kit is definitely the kit to get. You can immediately tell that the power and grounding cables are good quality, high strand count which makes it flexible and easy to install. I used it to connect a Rockford Fosgate R1200-1D amplifier driving 2 Rockford Fosgate P2D2-12 subs. I installed this system in my 2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. I mounted the amp in the rear of the vehicle, the cable was perfect in length. I used all elements of this kit with the only exception being the speaker wire, since the subs are mounted in the rear I had plenty of wire left. I recommend retightening the power cable on both sides of the fuse holder. I also used dielectric grease on all my connections. Great kit, definitely delivering the power and a good signal to the amp.
Pros: High flexibility, easy to install.
Cons: None.

Believe it or not, he's not the world's heaviest cat but, still, it's time for Meatball to start slimming down.
Good luck with your diet, Meatball!
