Post Op instructions: Composite Fillings
Once we have restored your teeth with tooth-colored materials, these restorations will serve you well for several years. The resin (plastic) material used contains small "filler" particles of glass-like material for strength and wear resistance. They contain the finest and most up-to-date materials available today. However, you should be aware of the following information about your new restorations:
- As with natural teeth, avoid chewing excessively hard foods on the filled teeth (hard candy, ice, raw carrots, etc.) because the resin material can break under extreme forces.
- Composite fillings set up hard right away. There is no waiting time to eat. Children should be observed until the anesthetic wears off. Due to the strange feeling of the anesthetic, many children will chew the inside of their lips, cheeks, or tongue which can cause serious damage.
- Sensitivity to hot and cold is not uncommon for a few weeks following a dental restoration. Usually, the deeper the cavity, the more sensitive the tooth will be. As discussed before in rare cases of severe, persistent sensitivity a root canal treatment might be needed. If you feel the bite is not correctly balanced, please call for an appointment for a simple adjustment.
- The gum tissue could have been irritated during the procedure and may be sore for a few days together with the anesthetic injection site.
- The finished restoration may be contoured slightly different and have a different texture than the original tooth. Your tongue usually magnifies this small difference, but you will become accustomed to this in a few days. Also, patients who clench or grind their teeth typically have longer more difficult healing period. Properly designed bite guard might be needed to alleviate these problems.
When a tooth has a cavity the Dentist removes the decay and fills the hole with a filling material, the tooth supports the filling. The ideal filling is no more than 50% of the tooth. This leaves half the tooth to support the filling. When you get a cavity that takes up 60%or more of the tooth, a crown is indicated. A crown covers the entire tooth and holds the tooth together. Sometimes we place a filling thinking there is enough tooth to hold the filling when actually there is not. The tooth then starts to break away because it can no longer support the filling. In this case, if it happens with in a year, we will credit the cost of the filling towards the cost of a crown.
Post Op instructions: Immediate Dentures
You have just had an immediate denture placed in your mouth. The following information will assist you to understand the sequence of events during the healing period.
- Teeth have been removed from your mouth. Stitches may have been placed to help the mouth heal. If so, they will dissolve by themselves, unless we tell you differently.
- Dentures have been placed to replace your missing teeth and gum tissue. Today these dentures will feel large and bulky. The dentures may cause your speech to be altered for a few days. They will also be difficult to chew with at first. Take small bites of soft food until you learn to chew with them.
- Do not take the dentures out of your mouth today. We will do so tomorrow. The new dentures serve as a bandage similar to a cast on a broken arm during initial healing. After the initial denture removal and adjustment, you should remove the dentures as needed for cleaning and overnight.
- Some discomfort is usually present when teeth are removed and immediate dentures are placed. The discomfort is due to one or two reasons:
- The trauma of removing teeth. This will heal rapidly and go away by itself.
- The denture may have a pressure spot. If so, that will be observed and removed by us as soon as you tell us about the discomfort. It will not go away by itself.
- If you have been given antibiotics, take them as directed until they are gone.
- Use the pain relieving pills only until the discomfort has gone.
- Your dentures may have been relined today with a soft material that makes them easier to wear and speeds healing. That material may be replaced during the initial 6-week or more healing period. It is not the final denture material. Be careful not to dislodge it when cleaning.
- As soon as convenient, place some ice cubes in a plastic bag and place the bag externally on the area where the teeth were removed. This will reduce the chances of swelling and bruising. However, some swelling and bruising may still occur for a short time.
- Your dentures will become looser as your gums shrink after surgery. Usually, after your 1-week post-op appointment, you can begin to use denture adhesive.
- After 3-6 months your denture will be relined to refine its fit to the healing supporting tissues. At this time the denture will appear, fit, and function as it was intended. Before that time it is not in its final state.
- If the doctor has recommended mini dental implants (MDI) to help support your denture, this will happen after 3-4 months and will also include a relining of your denture.
- Healing from tooth extractions continues for up to 18 months. Shrinkage of gums and bone is obvious during that time, but it slows thereafter. You may elect to have a second reline of the denture 18 months after the initial surgery.
- Immediate dentures are a major change to your body. Don't worry if you are slow to adapt. Millions of others have been through this experience. We expect your eventual denture to serve well for many years.
Post Op instructions: Night Guards
Purpose: The purpose of splint therapy is to help your lower jaw function more properly. Since the treatment you are to receive is mainly orthopedic in nature, we have fabricated an orthopedic appliance to help reposition your lower jaw. This appliance will help to relax any of your jaw muscles which are in spasm and to reduce any muscle pain. There are many situations that may cause your lower jaw to malfunction including accidental trauma, developmental defects, peculiar oral habits, naturally occurring malocclusion (poor bite), psychological stress, clenching or bruxing of teeth, and other problems.
- Rationale: You have received an acrylic bite splint (occlusal splint). This treatment has been used for many years to keep the teeth from contacting while you sleep and to allow the lower jaw to return to a comfortable hinge position without interference and guidance from the teeth. It is essential that you wear your night guard every night and you may also wear it during the day if you find yourself clenching or grinding your teeth. When it's not in your mouth, make sure your splint is placed in water to avoid warping.
- Cleaning the Splint: Food will accumulate under the splint. After brushing and flossing your teeth very thoroughly, brush and rinse the inside and outside of the splint and return it to your mouth. Dental decay can be stimulated if you are not careful about the cleanliness of your mouth and splint. Fluoride containing rinses or gels is useful when placed in your splint once per day if you have a high dental decay rate. Using a dental soak cleanser (ex: Polident) on a monthly basis will help keep the splint fresh.
Post op instructions following oral surgery and tooth extraction
- Some degree of discomfort and pain arises as numbness subsides. At the first sign of pain or discomfort, take the pain medication prescribed. Please make sure you read the directions carefully before taking the medication. Any pain medication can cause nausea and vomiting. It is very important that you have some food in your stomach before you take them.
- DO NOT DISTURB THE AREA OF SURGERY. The first stages of healing are aided by placing tissues at rest. Avoid vigorous chewing, excessive spitting, or rinsing as initial healing may be delayed, active bleeding restarted, or infection introduced.
- Expect minor bleeding or oozing from the operative site. This bleeding may continue throughout the first day. For the first hour, keep firm pressure on the area of surgery by biting on the gauze sponge placed in your mouth at the office. If bleeding persists, continue pressure on a fresh sponge for an additional 30 minutes to an hour. Biting on a moist tea bag wrapped in gauze may help control persistent oozing from the surgical site. Tea has an ingredient that promotes blood clotting.
If active bleeding should recur at any time, carefully rinse your mouth with cold water and apply a fresh gauze sponge to the bleeding site. Firm pressure for 15-30 minutes usually controls the problem. Should active bleeding persist, please call the office.
- LIMIT PHYSICAL ACTIVITY during the first 24-48 hours after surgery. Overexertion may lead to postoperative bleeding and discomfort. When you lie down, keep your head elevated on a pillow.
- PAIN FOLLOWING ORAL SURGERY will be most severe within the first 6-8 hours after the operation. If you have to take the prescribed severe pain medication, remember to have some food intake prior to that and to start slowly. Please do not drink alcoholic beverages while taking prescription pain medication. Do not wait for the pain to become unbearable before using some form of pain medication, as then it will be more difficult to control. Moderate to severe pain usually does not last longer than 24-48 hours, and there should be no more than the slight pain or discomfort after the third day. Persistent or increasing pain 3-4 days following oral surgery may be caused by early loss of the blood clot (dry socket) or infection. If you feel that this may be happening to you, please contact us so that we can help make you more comfortable.
- SWELLING RELATED TO THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE usually develops during the first 12-24 hours following surgery, often increasing on the second day. It should begin to subside by the third day. Swelling can be minimized a great deal by wearing an ice pack on the side of your face for 15-30 minutes every hour while you are awake during the first 24 hours following the surgery, unless you receive special instructions. Anti-inflammatory medications, such as Motrin or Advil, also help decrease swelling.
- FLUID INTAKE IS IMPORTANT. We suggest you start with clear beverages. Once your stomach has settled, you can advance to other fluids such as soda, broth, soups, or juices. We suggest avoiding dairy products initially, such as milk, milk shakes, and eggnogs. Also avoid hot liquids until the numbness has worn off, and the bleeding has stopped. It is important to drink plenty of fluids.
- AVOID USING A STRAW FOR SEVERAL DAYS as it may cause the blood clot to dislodge and delay healing.
- FOOD SELECTION is largely a matter of your choice. Soft, cool foods that require little or no chewing are most easily tolerated at this time. A nutritious diet throughout your healing process is most important to your comfort and temperament. Hungry people become irritable and less able to deal with discomfort which can follow surgery. Since you will be taking medication, it is important to remember that eating can prevent nausea sometimes associated with certain medications. Once your stomach is settled, soups, broiled fish, stewed chicken, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and cooked vegetables can be added to your diet as your comfort indicates. Ensure, Carnation Instant Breakfast and/or yogurt supply excellent added nutrition.
- Take any special medication such as ANTIBIOTICS we have prescribed on the specified dosing schedule. Yogurt with active cultures or acidophilus should be taken while on antibiotics to prevent diarrhea. It is important to take the antibiotics to completion. If you are given antibiotics and take birth control pills, you should be aware that the birth control pill may become ineffective, therefore take appropriate precautions.
- Take any regularly scheduled medication (for diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.) on your regular schedule unless advised to do otherwise.
- AVOID SMOKING COMPLETELY, as it tends to slow the healing process and may also contribute to development of a dry socket.
- DO NOT DRIVE AN AUTOMOBILE for 24 hours following surgery if you have had intravenous sedation, or if you are taking prescription pain medication.
- IF YOU WERE INFORMED THAT A SINUS COMMUNICATION OCCURRED DURING SURGERY, as a result of the close relationship between the roots of your upper teeth and your sinuses, or if you have had some surgery that involved work near your sinuses or in your sinuses, please follow these instructions: DO NOT blow your nose. DO NOT sneeze through your nose. If the urge to sneeze arises, sneeze with your mouth open. DO NOT smoke or use a straw. AVOID swimming and strenuous exercise for at least one week. It is not uncommon to have a slight amount of bleeding from the nose for several days. Please remember that occasionally a second procedure may be required if there is a persistent sinus communication.
- On the morning of the day following surgery, rinse your mouth carefully with the solution made by adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a large glass of warm water. Repeat three times a day until remaining soreness subsides. Resume brushing any remaining teeth and your regular oral hygiene as soon as possible. Do not avoid brushing the area as this will cause more inflammation in the area. Please do not use a syringe or Water Pik® to aggressively rinse during the first week. This can dislodge the blood clot.
- DO NOT WORRY ABOUT STITCHES. Stitches (also known as sutures) are usually placed to control bleeding, aid healing and help prevent food from collecting in the surgical site - - especially for lower teeth. The sutures we use dissolve on its own and DO NOT HAVE TO BE REMOVED.
- ANY SWELLING, SORENESS, OR STIFFNESS IN THE JAW MUSCLES can be relieved by applying a warm moist towel to the affected side of the face several times a day. Moist heat should be used after the first 24 hours. If swelling, tenderness, or pain should increase after the first few days, call the office.
- Sometimes a soft diet may be necessary for the first few days following surgery. Most patients are able to resume regular food intake within a short time.
- Bruising marks may appear on the skin of the face during the first few days after surgery. Moist heat application will help relieve this condition.
WHAT ARE DRY SOCKETS? Dry sockets continue to be the most common problem people experience following dental surgery. They arise due to premature loss of a blood clot in the empty tooth socket and affect approximately one out of five patients. This seems to occur with greater frequency in people who smoke or are taking birth control pills. While both jaws can be affected, they usually occur in the lower jaw on the third to fifth day. They cause a deep, dull, continuous aching on the affected side(s). Patients may first notice the pain starting in the ear radiating down towards the chin. It frequently begins in the middle of the night, and the Motrin medication usually doesn't help. Treatment involves placing a medicated dressing in the "empty" tooth socket. This will help decrease the pain and protect the socket from food particles. The effectiveness in alleviating the pain lasts for 24-48 hours and usually will require dressing changes every day or two for five to seven days. Dressings usually are removed when you have been pain free for 2-3 days. The dressing doesn't aid in healing. The only reason to place a dressing is for pain control. If Motrin is controlling the pain, the socket will heal without a dressing. An irrigation device will be given to you to help keep food particles from lodging in the extraction site following removal of the dressing.
Faithful compliance with these instructions will add to your comfort and hasten your recovery. Be sure to follow these instructions carefully. Only in this way will you avoid the complications which lead to unnecessary discomfort and delayed recovery. Should any undue reaction or complications arise, notify the office immediately.
If you need to contact us after office hours, please call the office at (940) 383-3300. We make every attempt to answer the emergency pager as promptly as possible. Occasionally, your messages do not reach our pagers. If you do not hear from the doctor on call within one hour, please call back and ask them to page the doctor again. If for some reason, we still do not respond and you think this is an emergency situation, please contact your local emergency room.
Post Op Instructions for Crowns, Onlays, Veneers and Bridges
The E4D Dentist system is an easy-to-use chairside CAD/CAM system that is revolutionizing modern dentistry. With it's ability to create SAME DAY crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers, the E4D Dentist system provides patients with extraordinary convenience and without messy impressions or temporaries.
In the event that we need to send your work to an outside lab and we need to place a temporary in your mouth, please pay attention to the following directions:
Temporaries are not strong. They may break or come off occasionally. If so, slip it back on the tooth with some Fixodent™ (Denture Adhesive) and call us for an appointment, please be careful until you come to us so as not to swallow it. If you don't feel comfortable, don't put the temporary back in with Fixodent, just bring it to us in a zip lock bag. We will re-cement the temporary ASAP. Please do not leave the temporary out of your mouth because the teeth will move and the final restoration will not fit. Please floss as directed.
- The size, shape, and color of the temporary do not resemble the final restoration.
- Temporary restorations may leak saliva or food onto the tooth. Sensitivity to hot, cold, pressure or sweets is not uncommon. If you feel the bite is not correctly balanced, please call for an appointment for a simple adjustment.
Permanent Crowns, onlays, veneers and bridges
- After the final cementation of your restoration, it may take a few days to get used to the new crown or bridge. Hot and cold sensitivity is possible for a few weeks and occasionally lasts for several months. Usually the deeper the cavity, the longer the sensitivity. In rare cases of severe persistent sensitivity a root canal treatment might be needed. As with the temporary, if the bite doesn't feel balanced please call us.
- Do not chew hard or sticky foods on the restoration for 24 hours from the time they were cemented. The cement must set up during this time to have optimum strength.
- Proper brushing, flossing, and regular 6-month (minimal) cleanings are required to help you retain your final restoration. The only area that a crowned tooth can decay is at the edge of the crown at the gum line. Often, small problems that develop around the restorations can be found at an early stage and corrected easily, but waiting for a longer time may require redoing the entire restoration.
- The gums may recede from the veneers, displaying discolored tooth structure underneath. This situation usually takes place after many years and requires veneer replacement.
Important Information on Crowns
Gold and Porcelain, composite, Crowns are the same for practically all cases except that porcelain ,composite can chip and gold crowns can come off . Approximately 1 out of every 100 porcelain crowns chip and need replacement. This should be taken into consideration when choosing between a porcelain and gold crown. Although rare, this mostly happens, in cases where patients have severe clenching /grinding or other harmful habits, or have extremely heavy bite and might have to be redone with gold.
Post Op Instructions for Partials
Sore Spots: Usually, your mouth will have a few "sore spots" after wearing the partial for 24 hours. These areas can be relieved with very little effort during your next appointment.
- Chewing: The new bite may not feel completely comfortable for several weeks. We can adjust the contacting surfaces of your teeth after the partials have settled into place.
- Cleaning the Partial and your Mouth: Your partial can be cleaned easily by using a denture brush and green Palmolive soap. We recommend leaving your denture out of your mouth at night and soaking in water.
Use special care to clean parts of the denture that contact any natural teeth. Both the partial and the natural teeth must be kept very clean on a daily basis to reduce the chance of new dental decay starting (Remember to use Green Palmolive soap ONLY).
We have done our best to provide you with well-fitted, functional, and esthetic partials. We feel confident that after a few weeks of becoming adjusted to the new partials, you will have years of satisfaction from them. Over time, your jawbone and gums shrink when there are teeth missing. When this occurs, your partials will feel loose and may require adjusting. Wearing ill-fitting partials for too long without refitting can cause severe bone loss and very serious oral disease. Please call our office if these symptoms occur.
Post Op Instructions for Root Canals
Endodontic treatment can take 1, 2, or 3 appointments depending on the case. It is possible to experience any of the following symptoms after any of these appointments: sensitivity to hot and/or cold; sensitivity to pressure; possible swelling. If you experience swelling, please call our office immediately as additional medication may be required
- One common occurrence with a newly root-canalled tooth is for the tooth to feel high when you bite your teeth together. If this occurs it will cause your tooth to stay sensitive for a longer period of time. Please call us if your bite feels "high" as this problem is easily rectified with a simple bite adjustment.
- A temporary filling may be used to temporarily seal the tooth between visits.
- Be gentle on the tooth while eating until the final restoration is placed.
- The gum tissue could have been irritated during the procedure and may be sore for a few days together with the anesthetic injection site.
- During endodontic treatment, the nerve, blood and nutrient supply to the tooth is removed. This will cause the tooth to become brittle and prone to fracturing which could result in the need to extract the tooth. A full coverage crown is recommended to prevent this from happening.
- Do root canals always work? NO! A root canal is a therapy not a cure. It has a high success rate but almost 4% of them fail. If your root canal fails within a period of 3 years from the date of service, we will either refund the cost of your root canal or retreat your failed root canal. In addition, if the tooth cannot be saved, the cost of the crown placed in our office will be refunded during that 3-year period. This warranty is null and void if the patient does not maintain their 6 month continuing care cleaning appointments.

Big Snow In The Cascades
SEATTLE (AP) — Forecasters expect another 10 to 20 inches of snow to fall in the Cascades today on top of the 1 to 2 feet of snow that has fallen in the last two days, creating winter driving conditions in mountain passes. Chains are required on all vehicles early today on Interstate 90 at Snoqualmie Pass. Some snow will likely accumulate today on lower elevations in the eastern third of the state, including Spokane.

After Ranveer Singh's one of the most controversial Do The Rex ad was released, the attention-seeker, Poonam Pandey has done a spoof of his popular Rex ad. Poonam Pandey is one of the publicity seekers who stripteases, goes nude and does other tactics to be in the news.
Poonam Pandey has done a spoof of Ranveer Singh's Do The Rex ad to grab the attention of the men out there and create some publicity out of it. To remind people of her very existence after her debut film Nasha flopped, Poonam Pandey has released a video.
In a response to Ranveer Singh's advertisement for Durex, Poonam shot a video wearing a glittering gold bikini bra with a shrug, and a barely there golden skirt. Poonam has done some sensuous moves to turn on the viewer and grab some much required sultry attention!
Poonam Pandey released her version of Do The Rex ad on Twitter and captioned, "MY GOOD WORK". Do The Rex is one of the most talked about controversial ads in the recent times. A few days back, Ranveer Singh shot a rap video to promote sexual awareness in a way never seen before!
Bollywood's boldest youth icon, Ranveer Singh celebrated great sex in the Durex Do The Rex ad. "I believe intimacy is never just physical, but emotional too. I'd like very much for the youth of the nation to talk more openly about safe sex by normalizing the conversation."
Ranveer and his choreographers selected a dance move called 'REX' which is a physical expression of joy and ecstasy felt after having a wonderful sexual experience. Ranveer has written and rapped the lyrics of the Do The Rex video as well.
Poonam Pandey's Rex video is her way to spoof the controversial ad of Ranveer Singh. Now its you who needs to decide which version is hotter, Ranveer or Poonam's.

Editor's note: This is a replay of the entry for "Our Storied Desert Land" written a year ago by Jim Griffith. Of course, the parade this year is the 90th, but the historic facts are unchanged. This first ran Feb, 18, 2014.
The 89th Tucson Rodeo Parade will take place this Thursday, starting at 9 a.m. The route goes south on Park Avenue from Ajo Way to Irvington Road, then west to Sixth Avenue, then north to the Rodeo Grounds, where it ends.
It is the longest non-mechanized parade in the United States. (It used to be called "the longest non-mechanized parade in the world," until the organizers heard of a longer one in Sri Lanka, complete with elephants. Now it is the world's longest non-mechanized parade without elephants!)
It got its start in 1925, signaling the start of the first Tucson Rodeo. It ran through Tucson's downtown business district, as it did until 1991, when it moved to its present route for safety considerations. Early prizes were given for the Biggest Hat, the Fattest Horse and the Skinniest Horse, The Most Typical Cowboy and Cowgirl, and the Best Decorated Automobile. (The parade was not de-mechanized until 1940.)
Nowadays the parade is sponsored by the Rodeo Parade Committee, which also maintains a wonderful museum in the Rodeo Grounds, containing a great collection of antique horse-drawn equipment. It's well worth a visit.
But what of the parade itself? Thursday's event will feature 143 entries, including 78 wagons and 19 marching bands, including the Pride of Arizona and the Fort Mohave Tribal Marching Band. It will have drill teams, riding clubs, and sheriff's posses. Miss Teen Navajo will be there, as well as representatives of Tohono O'odham Nation.
The Tucson Chinese Cultural Center won the big prize past year – they'll be back. You'll get glimpses of history with the Tucson Mormon Battalion, Black Lawmen of the Old West, The Sons of Confederate Veterans, and a Vintage Fire Brigade. Entries are sponsored by clubs, businesses, non-profits, and even governmental entities. In other words, you'll see a good cross-section of Tucson as it was and still is — a diverse group of folks with some shared history and a strong desire to celebrate who they are and who they were.
Whose parade is it? The Rodeo Parade Committee raises the money and organizes the whole thing, for which Muchas gracias. Out-of-town visitors buy tickets and occupy the grandstands. The parade route is lined with south-side Tucsonans. And as I showed in the previous paragraph, just about everyone with any kind of stake in our community may be found marching in it. I guess the answer is simple: it's our parade!

We strive to bring the freshest and highest quality ingredients available to our customers.
We have been serving downtown Columbus since 1992 with dough, bread, sauces and pastas made daily by us on site.
All pizzas are hand tossed by our own pizzaioli.
Our vegetables are roasted and marinated in our own blend of spices and finest olive oils.
Built on the foundation of big family and good food, Café Napolitana, opened its doors
over 20 years ago to the downtown Columbus lunch crowd. Owners and operators Palmo and Deanne Aracri epitomize the Ma and Pa persona
and often times their four children can be found hard at work behind the counter.
Palmo, an Italian immigrant, from Calabria, Italy, grew up with the culinary gene running through his veins. His father owned a small cafeteria in Italy. His older brothers Salvatore and Quentino both owned pizzeria and Italian restaurants in the South before settling in Dayton and Cincinnati, respectively.
Palmo learned the craft from hard work in his brothers' restaurants, before earning the title of pizzaiolo in 1992, when he and his wife opened their downtown Columbus location. The two have strived to make Café Napolitana a family friendly establishment and a place where one can get a great slice of New York style pie.

Re: Area Between Contours in ContourPlot
It may be helpful to think about the example of computing the area of
the "polar rectangle" bounded by
f(x,y) = r^2 < f(x,y) = R^2, g(x,y) = m1 < g(x,y) = m2
where f(x,y) = x^2 + y^2 and g(x,y) = y/x. The region is the image of
the rectangle
G = { (u,v) : r^2 < u < R^2, m1 < v < m2 } ,
under the transformation
T(u,v) = ( Sqrt[u] v/Sqrt[1+v^2], Sqrt[u]/Sqrt[1+v^2])
(Get that by solving u == f(x,y), v == g(x,y), for x and y.)
The area of the region is the integral over G of the absolute value of
the determinant of the Jacobian of T, which here turns out to be
Integrate[ 1/(2(1+v^2)), {u,r^2,R^2}, {v,m1,m2}]
The result is 1/2 (R^2 - r^2)(ArcTan[m2] - ArcTan[m1]), which coincides
with the usual formula.
More generally, if you want the area of a "patch" defined by
f(x,y) = c1 < f(x,y) = c2, g(x,y) = c3 < g(x,y) = c4,
solve (if possible ) u == f(x,y), v == g(x,y), for x and y, compute the
Jacobian determinant in terms of u and v, then integrate its absolute
value over c1 < u < c2, c3 < v < c4. A sometimes convenient
alternative method for getting the Jacobian determinant is to take the
reciprocal of the Jacobian determinant of the inverse transformation
Tinv(x,y) = (f(x,y), g(x,y)), expressed in terms of u and v.
Hope this helps...

DEAR HARRIETTE: An ex-boyfriend keeps messaging me at 4 a.m., when intoxicated, saying something like, "I miss you." I never acknowledge it, but it continues to happen.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I was recently caught snooping for the prenuptial agreement of my father and his new wife. My father caught me on his computer sifting through his legal documents, so what I was looking for was obvious. He didn't demand an explanation, and I just left the room because I didn't want to explain myself.

Introduction: The Federal Reserve introduces quantitative easing to revive the US economy; the House of Representatives passes a punitive law on bankers' bonuses; Lord Turner calls time on light-touch regulation; Switzerland buckles on banking secrecy; President Obama extends the hand to the Islamic republic of Iran; and an Ivory Coaster takes over the reins at the Pru, the first black CEO in the FTSE.
And if you failed to read or view the FT or ft.com this week, you would have missed the following unique items…
1) Sunny Tucker's scoop on Beijing's decision to block Coke's $2.4bn acquisition of Huiyuan in what would have been the biggest takeover of a Chinese company.
2) Tim Geithner, US treasury secretary, is losing the confidence of top lawmakers, as well colleagues in the White House.
3) Goldman Sachs has asked investors in its $15bn private equity fund for approval to re-deploy funds into distressed debt – a sign of how the buy-out market has become dysfunctional. Henny Sender spotted a big – and worrisome – trend.
4) Krishna Guha's coverage of the Fed move was authoritative, while Mike McKenzie caught the eye with a great piece of reporting on the difficulty traders have had in interpreting the Federal Reserve's statement on buying Treasuries.
5) Nigel Lawson's op-ed on why we need a new Glass-Steagall was a model of coherent argument and economy of language. A fine contribution to our much-noted Future of Capitalism series, followed by Hank Paulson's op-ed.
6) Libya's $70bn sovereign wealth fund is on the look-out for investments in western real estate markets. Heba Saleh's series on the Libyan Investment Authority was original and eye-catching.
7) Brian Groom's front page news story and background feature on how the UK recession is hurting the manufacturing heartlands rather than being confined largely to the services-driven South-East, as originally predicted.
8 Jamil Anderlini's investigation into billion-dollar losses made by China's SAFE on mistimed diversification into foreign equities, much commented on by bankers and well-read on FT.com.
9) Gillian Tett's capital markets column "Where is Gordon Gecko when you need him?" was a top-notch take on risk averseness in the credit markets.
10) An alert reader spotted the story behind the Gem of Tanzania, a 2kg ruby. Jonathan Guthrie, assisted by Dr Watson and Jennifer Hughes, wrote an excellent column and follow-up news stories.
FT.com watch: The energy source blog run by Kate Mackenzie, came online at Opec and is already winning an audience. Clive Cookson launched a science blog.
A vast new array of money and personal finance tools came online on Friday increasing significantly our service to readers. Thanks to Mustafa Sogancilar and Lucy Warwick-Ching.
The quantitative easing explainer continues to land in the top 10 showing the value the audience places on lucid guides to complex matters.
The future of capitalism blog (run by Sarah Laitner) has attracted more than 1300 links from outside sites.
Notable and Quotable: Leon Black, the private equity titan who rarely gives interviews, offered a dire prediction on the commercial real estate in a View from the Top video interview with Henny Sender.
John Gapper wrote a searing column on why the AIG bonuses are a humiliation for Wall Street and a travesty for taxpayers.
Stacey-Marie Ishmael's provided stylish news analysis on the complex challenge facing the court-appointed receiver to the (Sir) Allen Stanford empire.
The juice scoop and the FT's China coverage: Sunny Tucker's story led to a 20 per cent fall in Huiyuan's shares and they were suspended. Even then no one could confirm Sunny's story, with some wires insisting the deal was still set to go ahead. Only in the afternoon did Beijing announce it had stopped the takeover, sending bankers and lawyers into an angry fizz, but delighting those in Australia who oppose Chinalco's $19.5bn bid for Rio Tinto.
Asia watch: Good colourful coverage by James Lamont of the Indian election, which begins next month; and an interesting interview with Thailand's central bank governor who said the crisis was nothing for Asian economies compared with the home-grown catastrophe of 10 years ago. Plus a very good Investing in Japan Report, replete with a video interview of Kaoru Yosano, economy, finance and FSA minister conducted by Mure Dickie.
Weekend FT watch: William Leith's lunch with Wilbur Smith was riveting; good to see Merryn Somerset Webb back in Money after her maternity leave; and a special mention to Natalie Whittle, who edits the Pursuits section of the Magazine and expanded it into a first-time special edition.
UK corporate news watch: Andrea Felsted did a fine job reporting on the Pru and its new CEO Tidjane Thiam replacing Mark Tucker. Peter Thal Larsen and Jennifer Hughes performed with skill and authority in the coverage of the Turner report (supported by a sharp column by Martin Wolf and a stylish Lombard by Andrew Hill on Saturday). Paul Davies and Anousha Sakoui identified the boom in corporate bond issuance and cash hoarding.
Sunny Tucker (with David Pilling) also nabbed an exclusive interview with Sir Philip Hampton, chairman of RBS, where he identified a turn in wholesale bank lending and revealed that Sir Fred was still "mulling" returning part of his pension.
Analysis page watch: A great run this past week: Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson's take-out on the newspaper industry was grim but compelling (and it had a ray of sunshine at the end); Tony Barber told us everything we need to know about the state of the European Union ahead of the Brussels summit; Chris Giles and Peter Thal Larsen wrote very well on the lessons of the Swedish banking crisis and James Wilson's report on how high-flying Hypo Real Estate fell from grace was a piquant antidote to those who talk about "conservative" German bankers.

NEWTOWNBUTLER secure the double after seeing off Devenish in a pulsating finish to their Minor B Championship match at Brewster Park.
In a game that saw the victors on top for large parts of the contest, Devenish were perhaps unlucky not to at least salvage a draw, after an inspired comeback late on was quelled by Newtown, who held on to secure a league and championship double.
Newtown started the better as they raced into an early four point lead. Caolan Sweeney was the first on the scoreboard when he finished off a flowing move with a well taken goal, with Ciaran Caghey following up with a point.
Devenish took a while to settle, but eventually they did get off the mark and it was very much nip and tuck for the next ten minute juncture, as both sides traded points, Jason Flanagan with two frees for Newtown while Ruairi Maguire, Ruairi Doherty and JJ. O'Brien all landed first half points for Devenish.
Newtown then stepped it up again as the half progressed, and were rewarded with a second goal when Jonathan Courtney's fine run set up Sean Mullaney who fisted to the net. The same player then added a free to leave eight points between the teams approaching half time. Devenish did respond with a point, but they would need a big second half to get themselves back in contention.
The interval seemed to benefit Devenish, as they came out very strongly in the second period, scoring a goal and a point without reply like Newtown had done in the first half. Peter Leonard was on hand to fire the ball home for the goal, and the same player added on another point to bring them within three points.
Newtown replied instantly though, and added a third goal ten minutes into the second half. A fine team move was finished off by Jonathan Courtney; Devenish again had it all to do.
To their credit, they fought their way back into it again with three points without reply, JJ O'Brien and Leonard on the score-sheet. Both sides then traded a handful of points apiece to leave Newtown up by four points with only a few minutes remaining. Devenish battled hard in the dying minutes, and when Paul McCaffrey swooped for a goal it left just one point between the teams to set up a grandstand finish, but Sean Mullaney kept his cool to slot over two late points to round off a fine personal performance, and a well deserved team win in the end after a hard fought encounter.

Hi saw this on another list, hope Paul doesn't mind me posting it here Digital TV software provides talking menus for the visually impaired, deaf and elderly September 2, 11:18 AMNY Disability ExaminerTom ScottPrevious Next 1 comment Print Email RSS Subscribe Subscribe Get alerts when there is a new article from the NY Disability Examiner. Read Examiner.com's terms of use. Email Address Include other special offers from Examiner.com Terms of Use Bristol/Hong Kong-based Ocean Blue Software, a specialist digital TV software house, has developed "talking" digital TV technology for set top boxes and televisions that could potentially benefit millions of people who are blind, visually impaired, deaf, severely dyslexic, and elderly. The technology, produced in conjunction with theThe Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) and other digital technology companies, works by converting on-screen based text menus into speech output. Consumers will be able control how the audio information is spoken to them, and have the ability to change the level of speech and the language through a customizable interface. Developers are optimistic that the new technology will improve the quality of life of 8 million individuals living with disabilities in the UK, and even more around the world. Ocean Blue Software also recently produced Nexus TVTM, a digital technology system with health care features that utilizes a television with a set top box and a remote control. The system is capable of providing automatic alerts reminding users which medication to take, and when. Users will also be able to order repeat prescriptions by scanning a barcode with the remote control and then forward it to their pharmacist. Individuals with limited mobility, will be able to shop local stores and markets through the Nexus TVTM network and have items delivered to their home. "This is about exploiting technology to give the elderly and vulnerable every possible comfort and security where they most want it - in their own homes," said Ken Helps, CEO of Ocean Blue Software, in a company press release. "At the same time, it addresses one of the greatest challenges for the British economy - how to finance support for an ageing population." It will be interesting to see how these technologies fare overseas and if they will eventually be adopted in the US.

What Was Mysterious Activity Going on in the Marriott Hotel Islamabad by United States Marines
Though it would never get confirmed but the fire on the fifth and fourth floor of the hotel broke out because those floors were housing the mysterious steel boxes under the heavy guard of United States marines and no one including the Pakistani security forces and the security men of the hotel were allowed to go near with the them. These boxes were shifted inside the hotel when the Admiral Mike Mullen met Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and others in Islamabad.
Webmaster's Commentary:
In hindsight, those boxes are not very mysterious at all.

By Gary Strauss, USA TODAY
Outside of the media-fueled debate over assisted suicide that brought Jack Kevorkian notoriety in the 1990s, the general public knows little about the Michigan doctor dubbed Dr. Death.
That may change with the HBO film You Don't Know Jack, premiering Saturday (9 ET/PT).
"Like a lot of people, I think I had a sense of what he was like. But when you get into the research, there are so many more facets to this man," says Jack star Al Pacino.
REVIEW: Three stars out of four
TRAILER: Get to know 'Jack'
Kevorkian claims to have assisted more than 130 terminally ill patients in ending their lives. Put on trial numerous times, Kevorkian was convicted of murder in 1999 and served eight years before parole in 2007.
While much of Jack focuses on Kevorkian's activism and work for anguished patients, the film shows a career pathologist with a bedside manner more humane than some internists and family practitioners.
Kevorkian turned away many who sought his help in hastening their death. "He saw people not as patients he was killing, but as people whose pain he could relieve," Pacino says.
Before becoming a lightning rod for moral and legal debate on assisted suicides, Kevorkian was better known for efforts to preserve lives. "He was very involved in organ donation," Pacino says. "It morphed into this thing about euthanasia. But behind it all was this positive energy in the direction of helping" people.
Jack also shows Kevorkian's private side as an eccentric bachelor who lived sparsely, composed jazz music and limericks, painted and played poker with longtime friends. Balancing Kevorkian's public zealotry and personal life "was challenging and fun," says Pacino, who turns 70 Sunday. John Goodman co-stars as Kevorkian's friend and helpmate Neal Nicol, with Susan Sarandon as Hemlock Society activist Janet Good and Danny Huston as Kevorkian's lawyer Geoffrey Fieger.
Pacino talked with Kevorkian, now 81, by phone and watched videotapes to hone his characterization. Given his pre-prison portrayal, Pacino says it would have been counterproductive to meet Kevorkian before filming.
But Jack screenwriter Adam Mazer (Breach) met with Kevorkian several times and spoke with Nicol, Fieger and families of former patients. "There's so much more to this guy," Mazer says. "He's a plain, simple guy. But on music, books and politics, he's brilliant. I had a hard time keeping up with him."
Jack reunited Pacino with director Barry Levinson, who produced 1997's Donnie Brascoand co-wrote the 1979 drama And Justice for All. Levinson says Jack is timely, given the country's ongoing debate over health care and an aging population. "We're looking at the advances in keeping people alive, but what about the qualify of life? It's something we are ignoring," Levinson says.

The interview is a point of anxiety for many job applicants. While a resume can get you an interview, en employer will rarely hire a person for their presence on paper alone. The interview is an important meeting in which you can show your interpersonal and communication skills, as well as get insight into the position and organization to which you are applying.
How Career Development Center Can Help
Areas of Focus During Preparation
Behavior Based Interview Questions
STAR Example
How Career Development Center Can Help:
Interviewing is a skill that comes more naturally to some than other. As is the case with most skill-based activities, practice makes perfect when it comes to interviewing (or at least practice will help you feel ready on your big day!). Being PREPARED for your interview is the greatest present you can give to yourself and your job search! Career Development Center offers the following ways for you to hone your interview skills:
- Tips on Interviewing (including common questions) – Found in the Career Matters Handbook
- Interview Coaching (one-on-one consultation)
- Mock Interviews with Counselors (offered all year)
- Mock Interviews with Employers (offered in March)
Utilizing these services will improve your interview skills a great deal. Mock interviews are priceless in that you get to have another person's perspective!
As you prepare, focus on the following areas:
- Know yourself – You need to know what you have done (work, extracurricular, volunteer, and classroom activities), what skills you possess, what you could add to the organization, and why you are applying to the position
- Know the company – Nothing looks worse than a person who cannot muster up an exact reason for why they would want to work at a given organization. Do your research on the company to what attributes you feel the company has. If you cannot think of something positive about an organization, why apply?
- Be able to give SPECIFIC examples - It is not enough to just say that you are a "hard worker" – you need to give a specific example about how your initiative led to the completion of a project (for example).
- Close the interview well – You NEED to have questions to ask the interviewer at the end of the interview. This shows interest in the position and preparation on your part. As you leave, reiterate your interest in the position and make sure you have the business cards of the people with whom you met. It is imperative that you FOLLOW UP with a thank you note to every interviewer.
SPECIFIC examples (Behavior Based Interviewing)
Behavior (or situational) based interview questions are ones in which the employer asks you to "Name a time when…." or "Give an example of a situation in which…" Basically you are asked to give an anecdote from your past about a time when you performed a certain act/skill (e.g. took initiative, engaged in teamwork, acted as a leader, resolved conflict). The employers are operating under the assumption that your past behavior will predict your future behavior in their organization. This interview approach also tests your communication skills.
Although telling a story about yourself may not sound too difficult, these types of interview questions stump many people. Below is an acronym to help you structure your responses and answer the questions completely. Use the STAR approach to behavioral questions as you prepare:
- Situation (S) - Give the situation to provide the context for what was occurring (i.e. were you at work, in class, involved in a student organization)
- Task (T) – Give the task that needed completing (what had to get done, what problem/challenge/opportunity was presented)
- Action (A) – What did YOU specifically do to impact the situation and the task that you just presented
- Result (R) – What was the bottom line of the situation? What occurred as a result of your action. Make sure the result is always positive even if it just consists of what you learned from a given challenging situation or how you would approach a problem differently the next time you were faced with it
STAR Example
Below is an example of an interview response using the STAR approach. You do not need to say Situation, Task, Action, Result as you give your response, that is just something to keep in your head to make sure you are only giving relevant information to the story and the question posed.
Question: Tell me about a time when you worked within a team to complete a project.
Situation - In Autumn semester, 2012, I was enrolled in an Introduction to Business class that all business majors are required to take. It has an enrollment of over 250 students but within that large class are smaller groups of 5 – 6 students. These small groups work every closely together on one important project. My group had five members
Task - In our group project, we needed to manage an automotive company. We had to manage every aspect of the company and compete with the other groups (companies) in the class. We needed to define our product & our customer, allocate resources, handle inventory and be profitable.
Action - Each of us had to take a specific part of the company to run. I volunteered to
coordinate all of the financials for the group. I wanted to make sure that everyone
had access to that information as we went along, so I created a web site where I could
list the most recent information. I also got everyone's email address and when I updated
the site, I emailed everyone a link.
Each week, I needed to find and post our most recent . . . .
Result - Because we all had access to the necessary information when we met, we were all on the same page. We could use our time to make important decisions. We could also react quickly to changes in the market. Therefore, our business did very well. Among all the teams in the class, our team outperformed all others on profits, market share, innovative products and everyone in our group got an "A" on the project and in the course.

With all the questions being raised about computerized voting machines, there is a simple solution.
Election officials must have access to the machines for monitoring, and the machines should produce a ballot record which would serve as a verifiable paper trail in case a recount is needed. This has already been mandated in California and Nevada. Why not Georgia?
You could let your state representative know how you feel about this. Call them at 1-800-282-5800 (House) or 1-800-282-5803 (Senate).

President Obama is backing Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan as the agency investigates allegations that its personnel procured prostitutes during a recent trip to Colombia.
"The president has confidence in the director of the Secret Service," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
"The director acted swiftly in response to this incident, and is overseeing the investigation," Carney added.
Sullivan does have his critics. They include Ronald Kessler, author of the book In The President's Secret Service. "This incident is a symptom of the corner cutting and laxness that has been going on under Director Sullivan," Kessler said.
Still, Kessler said Sullivan is likely to survive because he also had support from high-level congressional Republicans.
Obama's vote of confidence came as more details emerged about the incident, which took place two days before Obama arrived in Cartagena, Colombia, for the Summit of the Americas.
They include:
-- An ABC News report that the Secret Service personnel who are under investigation "were partying at a Cartagena brothel called the Pley Club," and boasted that they were in Colombia to protect President Obama.
"The men were drinking heavily during their night out and enlisted the services of the club's prostitutes, according to a bouncer at the club and a police source," ABC reported.
-- An announcement that the Pentagon is expanding its investigation into involvement of military personnel in the incident.
-- Reports that the 11 Secret Service agents and uniformed officers who were recalled from Colombia have had their security clearances revoked.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he spoke with Sullivan today. Grassley said he is pleased that the agency's inspector general is doing the investigation.
"The allegations against a few agents in the Secret Service have given the entire agency a black eye," Grassley said. "A transparent, independent review should help the agency regain some respect from the American taxpayers and from people around the world."

Merits of Mineral Oil
Mineral oil has been used in immersion cooling because it is not hazardous and transfers heat almost as well as water, but doesn't conduct an electric charge. Some mineral oil-style coolants can be messy to maintain. Patterson said Intel's technicians always had an extra set of clothes handy to account for coolant spills. Green Revolution says its coolant can be drained for enclosure-level maintenance, and individual servers can be removed for work.
"I think it will catch on," said Patterson. "It's going to be a slow progression, but will start in high-performance computing and the need to look at performance upside. Those (HPC) procurements are large enough that this might make sense. Those guys are probably a little bit more sophisticated in their willingness to do something different."
Green Revolution says its GreenDEF coolant can support heat loads of up to 100 kilowatts per 42U rack, far beyond current average heat loads of 4 to 8 watts a rack and high-density loads of 12 to 30 kilowatts per rack. The company says the system is designed to comply with fire codes and the Clean Water Act, and integrates with standard power distribution units (PDUs) and network switches.
Gains for Green Revolution
Patterson emphasized that Intel doesn't recommend a particular vendor. "We are evaluating all types of oil immersion to understand the entire ecosystem," said Patterson. Other players in the immersion cooling field include Iceotope and LiquidCool (formerly Hardcore Computer).
But there's no question that the cooperation with Intel is an important validation for Green Revolution's technology, which we've been tracking since the company's launch in 2009. The technology is being used by an Austin colocation provider, as well as in HPC installations hwere it has demonstrated its ability to work with GPU acceleration and designs that recycle server waste heat.
This week Green Revolution announced that server maker Super Micro Computer is providing full warranty coverage for servers installed in the CarnotJet submersion system, which the company called a "momentous step forward" for its technology. The warranty will cover motherboards, backplanes, add-on cards, power supplies, and processors.
More broadly, submersion cooling may benefit from Intel's affirmation that submersion doesn't have any impact on hardware reliability. "When we pulled the servers out, we took them to our failure analysis lab," Patterson said. "They could find nothing at all to suggest that this is a bad idea."
In 2008, Intel published research showing that in many climates servers perform well when cooled with fresh air from outside the data center. At the time, this design approach – known as air-side economization or "free cooling" was used by a small percentage of data centers. With support from Intel and other large data center builders, fresh air cooling has since become a common feature in new data center construction in recent years.

Gold silk curtains, silver salt and pepper shakers, leopard skin furniture and 17th century portraits all went under the hammer as Elton John cleared out his London home to make way for a more modern aesthetic.
The celebrity version of a garage sale - a one-day auction at Sotheby's - earned the singer more than STG1 million ($A2.47 million).
The auction was made up hundreds of pieces of furniture, paintings and tableware from John's home in Holland Park, west London.
The pieces, for which Sotheby's created a special 180 page catalogue, were sold off to make room for a more contemporary collection of artwork.
Versace candlesticks may have been among the items up for grabs, but neither the auction nor most of the pieces for sale were as kitsch as one might expect from the singer known for his flamboyant persona both on and off stage.
Sotheby's showrooms were full of well-dressed gents in tweed and women in perms and pashminas, and the sale included various understated pieces of Biedermeier furniture.
There were also several delicate 18th century paintings, the most expensive a work by James Northcote that sold for STG55,200 ($A136,000).
There was little sign of any celebrity interest in the sale but one big-spender paid STG31,200 ($A76,960) for an enamel miniature of Thomas Howard, third Duke of Norfolk, which had been expected to sell for STG5,000 - STG6,000 ($A12,333 to $A14,800).
The most expensive item to sell was a painting by Maxwell Armfield of Madison Square Park at STG67,000 ($A165,000). The cheapest item, a metal candelabra, went for a mere STG96 ($A236).
John said much of the collection held special memories because it dated from the early 1990s when he was recovering from drug and alcohol addiction.
But he said it was time to let it go to make way for his new photography and contemporary art pieces - ''my new passion''.
The sale is not the first time John has had a mass clear-out of one of his homes. In 1988, he raised millions of pounds from the auction of furniture, jewellery and works of art from his Windsor estate.

Pamela Anderson moving ahead with divorce
Pamela Anderson is moving ahead with her divorce despite reports that she reconciled with Rick Salomon. Pamela had Rick personally served with divorce papers on December 28, according to Us Magazine. She also wrote the following in her blog on New Year's Eve:
"2007 was an interesting year for me. What's the definition of insanity? This is the year I do everything I wanted to do – my way… I'm going to be proud of every single day – and make sure I do not veer from the path."
Dear Pamela Anderson,
Allow me to define insanity for you: Your writing. I hope that helps you on your path. There's no need to pay me for this service, but if you must, I only deal in one kind of currency: boob dollars. I assure you it's for purely economical reasons based on the weak American dollar and my penis has nothing to do with it. Even though he is my accountant.
Best of luck to you in 2008,
The Superficial Writer

Milstein Science Series: Capturing the Ocean's Glow
This event has already taken place. Click here for the latest events.01-05-2014 12:00:00 29-05-2014 12:00:00 America/New_York Milstein Science Series: Capturing the Ocean's Glow Take a night dive into the coral-rich waters of the South Pacific's Solomon Islands, where a cast of biofluorescent creatures on a reef wall surround you in eye-popping colors. Most of the glowing species you see - corals, anemones, crinoids, and even fishes - had never been known to be biofluorescent until American Museum of Natural History scientists built the technologies to discover them at their brilliant best. In Capturing the Ocean's Glow, John Sparks, David Gruber, and Vincent Pieribone descend in scuba gear and a submarine outfitted with powerful blue lights that stimulate the covert colors to emerge. This remarkable footage enables us to see these vibrant environs as a reef fish might. Most of this footage was captured in September 2013, during the first expedition in the Museum's pioneering series of large-scale field projects called Explore21. The initiative supports multidisciplinary teams and innovative technologies to fuel scientific exploration and discovery for the 21st century. http://www.nymetroparents.com/2015neweventinfo.cfm?id=162241 The American Museum of Natural History The American Museum of Natural History
