I was just trying to remember the past
trying to remember the good people
and the bad people,
that i came across on my way,
i want you to know
that you are among the good people
that left a good trace in my life,
once again i just want to say thank you
for passing through my life,
is so short but is wonderful
i want you here forever.

They see strengths
Not the limitations
These are people who will make you proud of yourself
They will tell you why you're special
Trust you to the point you have to answer their expectations
They make you better than you normally are
You can be proud of yourself
They respect you
For what you've done
Where you've come from
They see what you've experienced something real
Respect you for your courage
They live by their rules
They do not expect you to follow theirs
They are at peace to themselves
They are not proving anything to you
They are good listeners
Sincere in their interest in you
You feel important
They are available for honest
Genuine discussion
Makes you want to share yourself

Beloved, lovely roses: gift of God and lover's flower,
Spread your colored petals and cradle tender showers.
While admiring the blossoms with their beauty to behold,
Ought we not to know the Tender of such lovely garden groves?
For He lovingly and thoughtfully wields His pruning shears
To cut away the stems of old for fuller future years.
He cultivates and feeds them. He attends them as a Father
Looking daily to their needs; so faithfully He waters.
From the dawn of morning dew until the setting sun arrays
Caring always for His own until that great appointed day…
When the Gardener comes to claim each one the earth held as its own.
He gently picks it at its peak and for His pleasure takes it home.
As God did one glorious morning, when the Perfect Rose had bloomed.
He rolled away the stone and met with Mary at the tomb.
There the sweetest Rose of Sharon rose that we die not alone.
But be gathered for a garden grove, surrounding heavens throne.

If I a placid pond sit
Still my shallow grounds
Engulfed within the woods
Submerged and bound
Arrayed with ruby rings
Robed in brunette pearls
What jewel would justly paint
With brush my clearest tint
Wouldst any drown the drink
The tongue calls a quench
Cool and clear as white
Atop the moonlit sky
Or wouldst the treasuries' trees
Reveal arising clips depicting
Darkened depths entrenched
In deep demise
Doth God's glory glide
The ornamented floor
Moving mortal millions
To probe, dip, and dive
Beneath the brittle creek
In buried ocean mines
To touch and taste, then tell
Of seas the sands confine
If raids of floral floods
Could frame the fluid's face
As angels frame the figure
Of heaven's sovereign God
Then pluck the petaled stem
The prototyped rendition
Of red/darkened rose
Which colors my condition
~Poetra Jah~

The Rose innocent white, soft pink, yellows
colors touch your soul vibrant red to amethyst
enhances beauty yet a thorn awaits to break skin
as life does piercing your heart with a thin pin.
My life has shed drops of blood through each petal
as if in return for the love and beauty you feel
hence pain underneath patiently waits the bloodletting ~
The rose symbolizes love yet vulnerable to hold
for when you open your heart it can be left bleeding
The best of surgeons can not beat your heart
It is the inner faith and God himself whom gives strength
whispers in your ear you shall live you will exist
your life meaningful as the water and sun to the rose
For I am your God your existence is not over yet .
You must Live ~You must Bloom

Little blue flower
Doing what flowers do
Petals raised to heaven
Standing guard at a tomb
Little blue flower
Quivering in the earth
Shaking in its place
Shivering in the dirt
Little blue flower
Standing all alone
A terrible surge of power
Then crushed beneath a stone
Little blue flower
Dead on the ground
Naked feet approach
A holey hand surrounds
Little blue flower
Unfurling in the Light
Standing straight and tall
Raised by God's might
Little blue flower
Finally rejoicing
Naked feet proceed
Other flowers are joining
Little blue flower
Loved by the Pardoner
No wonder Miss Magdalene
Mistook Him for a gardener

Bright daffodils adorn the ground
And rise where winter clods were found;
The air is full of scent and song,
(To God both flowers and birds belong);
Sorrows shaking heart and mind
Fall, as blossoms, in the wind.
Now Spring has come, and winter's past
Oh do not pass us by so fast!

The preacher read the gospel
And we sank into our tears
Tearing down the curtain
We've been behind for all these years
A baby leaves its mother
An angel drops its wings
Leave me bound against the wall
Dangling by a string
Sitting by the window
Hoping she'll remember me
Sitting by the window
Contemplating memories
Resolve your inhibitions
And you'll find me in the garden
Where the flowers drink champagne
And God is in the rain

He's drempt of his mama in her garden of love,
surrounded by angels in heaven above.
Peaceful waters flow through a bubbling brook,
where her roses grew in every little nook.
She cherished the roses he had bought for her in life,
capturing their beauty and the colors of their sight.
When she was ill he knelt beside her bed,
and handed her roses with the tears that he shed.
She said don't cry for me it's beautiful over there,
where they climb so gracefully up Heaven's golden stair.
He visits her grave and places roses in her cup,
rest assured with Jesus she forever sup.
The rose bush he planted for her still grows today,
just as it did when Jesus took her away.
No sickness nor pain she can smell once more,
as she embelishes in her roses surrounded by her door.
She said plant you some roses in rememerance of me,
as you stroll through my garden waiting for you I'll be.

There he stood in the
garden,a gentle fellow
with glowing gown;
radiating glory.
His countenance was
that of an Angel,
The Padre of old St
As I approached him,he
gave me a warm.
Then he told me why he
came to the mission,the
mission in old St Anthony.
We knelt down to pray,I
thanked the Lord for a
man such as this.
Then the chapel bells
the rang,I heard a
voice"child it is time."
I looked,lo saw I a fiery
figure beckoning him to
He stood up and looked
at me with tender love in
his eyes.
Then I knew this man
was an Angel,the Padre
of old St Anthony.
With joyous heart,I left

When I lay down the night before,
I woke up to find Your Glory inside,
When I woke up to find Your Glory inside,
I bowed down at Your feet,
I crossed over the Jordon and fell at Your feet.
I Praise You now and Praised You then,
When I woke up to find Your Glory inside,
how wonderful now when I woke to find,
Your Hand in mine,
Your my Hope Lord,
Your my desire,
My Savior,My King.
One day,when I lay my head down,
I will wake up to find,
Your Glory inside!

You are a flourishing calla lily plant
that grows in a vibrant clay pot;
Your leaves perfectly enchant
Your bloom is a yellow love knot.
When you paint yourself in a positive light,
your view makes you thrive.
When you throw shade on every blight,
your thoughts cause you to die.
Remind yourself you're a beauty
And tell other thoughts to hush
It's your own choice and duty
To squash the underbrush.
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."—Psalm 139:14

Oh my soul, learn from the…
…intricate rose that you were created,
…tall sunflower to reach up high,
…daylily that time is short,
…crushed wheat kernel that you were born of sacrifice.
"Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." —John 12:24
Inspired by this question: What has Nature to teach us in regards to the Soul?
The waters clear as I stand by the river
I see the reflection of someone long ago
As the storms come in I know I can't let you go.
Rain pours at times in this life you've given
But the shadows fade when my prayers have risen
Your love for me I've never new until now
When I see the waters clear, my reflection seems so near.
As time goes on I know you are near
Just seeing the way you help me stand
Just seeing the way you remove the fear
It helps my weakness seem so clear
That without you I am small
But as I take your hand, the walls get knocked down
The waters clear, the reflection I see now,
is you in me, this my Lord helps to make me free.

some flowers bloom within days of planting
others not for years—or with stunted timing
only God ordains the beauty of His creations
manifested in different ways and formations
early 'bloomers' will habitually frustrate us
discouraged- Gods plans remain anonymous
we grow impatient with the changing seasons
deliberating His timing to reveal His reasons
ignoring valuable lessons of diverse planets flora
some seem to flourish, while others become poorer
several live decades, sadly a few for mere minutes
does God have his hand on us all without any limits?
assuming, concluding-- all reasons for His delay
possibly-- perhaps sin may be leading few astray
persistent, crafting global testimony to His glory
by no means leaving late bloomers out of His story

When the day was dawning sunny and bright
I struggled through the night
weeping for the old and new
then I saw the light
I thought that I was doomed to live a life of misery and gloom
bobbing like a bottle in the ocean going any which way the current took me
abused, misused, degradation, demoralization, molested, raped over and over
violated in ways unimaginable to my minds eye
deflated was my self esteem until I saw
I lost everything time and time again
God was with me through it all
although I felt that He had left me too
It was I who turned my back on Him
doing things my way
on a merry go round that went faster causing my head to spin
discombobulated distorting my view on life until I saw
The eyes of my heart were opened
I stopped crying about the same situation
I lifted my hands in holy reference
to my King Ruler of everything
Lover of my soul
Captain of my sea
He is my all and all
I proclaim to those near and far
Heavenly Father my Creator
You picked me up
Turned me around
placing my feet on solid ground
Roses blooming for you and me
Lifting me higher and higher
beyond what I can see
I am going to be ready
to see face to face

Spring comes again upon the land
with many forms, varied stages.
Buds do break forth, at God's command.
Cycle repeats throughout the ages.
Every blossom, flower strewn hill;
it comes to be by God's own will.
Each new lily raised to the sky
of a good Creator does testify.

Dancing amidst them
Thousands of yellow bells
My heart sings in exhilaration
And the notes dance from my eyes as I soak up the golden rays
Daffodils make me dance
Twirling and spinning til I fall down in laughter
A warm afternoon enraptured with the happy colors of my Savior
Dancing and celebrating his goodness
He brought me to this meadow today
A quiet time to rejuvenate
Communing with nature and the warm glow of his love
I shall come back here again tomorrow and start all over again
And twirl and spin and fall down again
Giggles between me and my Savior

Grace ,a very sparkling jewel,
a ring of gold,brings day out of
night,sweet from bitter ,glory
out of shame and turns pebble
to pearls,weakness into strength.
This sweet flower of paradise
dwells in the heart that empties
itself of self.Prayer brings forth the
sweetest blessing,where God speaks
peace and fills with joy.No mercy
is too great for Him to give ,no
mercy too little for we to crave.
Lay hold on mercy for how strong
is grace,and how victorious over sin

I havent always been this way
Im not acting goldly nor is it pretence
Im not holier than thou hope this !makes sense
Im just changed from the mess i had made
Trapped in a world of lustful desires i used to be
Thus i cannot stand and say im better that would be fake
I know what it means to fall right on your face
The shame and guilt that comes after the whole ordeal
Maybe you don't understand, let me lay it down for you
My life hasnt been that much of a story to tell
The plight of the deeds of my youth nearly destroyed me
The person i used to be and who i am now are at opposite poles
Had i not changed, i would have landed in the hades
Living life the way i felt was best for me
Dangerously engulfed in the desires of my own flesh
Thinking if i like it i can have it
Such a crooked line of thinking i know
Kissing on everybody and anybody i wanted
Riding on lusts of my flesh like no ones business
Continued to live as though i done nothing shameless
I lived for self and she wanted what she did
Losing conscience in the depth of my sin
Thinking as long as i don't cross the boundary im fine
Justifying myself that im still in line course i done it not
Even though inside id feel no less than a harlot
Trading holiness for filthiness
Life for death why could i not see
That i needed change and a light to show the way
The road i had taken lead nowhere but unto death
Burdened by the guilt of my sin and shame
My sin ever before me and testifying against me
I lifted mine eyes towards the one who's able to tame
To change a wretch and avails sufficient grace to the unworthy
He judged me not but instead he showed me mercy
He changed me and yes i did change
I know im still a working progress but its looking good
Course i know he is faithful to complete the work
he began
Thus when i stand to boast i boast not of my self
For its no longer i who lives but him in me
Living life anew course he gave me another chance
To live right and be justified as worthy of his grace
Hope you get it now what im trying to say
I needed change and so you do
In the enjoyment of your youth dont make a !mistake
And live recklessly like i did
I got another chance but that's not always the case
Live right and live the world behind
Lose it all and you will gain whats way better
I ain't making bargains but lending a helping hand
To the one who is trapped in sinking sand
Take this hand and you shall be saved
Trust me you shall never be put to shame
Change comes when you embrace it
We all need change hope now you get it.

Fear is a fatal flower that blooms in every breast,
twining its vicious tendrils to choke hope's infant rest.
Fear bears a bitter fruitage, a wine of black despair;
hope, drunken, weaves the linen to shroud her dying heir.
Fear is the devil's vintage of desecrated years;
but Jesus treads the winepress and His love casts our Fear.

Bloom ten thousand fields not one drop of fragrant rain Can rise to meet yours - -Isa 53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken
No stain no smudge no worldly wrong
Can silence the sound
of children's song
No Power of money nor chains of might
Can hinder our journey into the light
What rulers power or Tyrants reproof
Can silence the voice that sings the Truth
For love is my Lord and light is my king
Eternal the one whose praise i sing
By whose authority and power
You cannot impede the growth of this flower
For that which is stained
This will remain Pure
And this is the Spirit that will endure

The Toronto District School Board has removed a lesson plan from its website that played down the more controversial aspects of the Black Panthers, a U.S. black revolutionary group founded in the 1960s.
The move, made early Friday, comes after the lesson plan was discovered by right-wing bloggers.
"As soon as some questions were raised, we thought it was appropriate to take a closer look," said Jim Spyropoulos, TDSB co-ordinating superintendent for equitable and inclusive schools.
Prepared by an unknown author, the two-page lesson plan — which was accessible on the TDSB website as recently as Thursday night — notes that the Black Panthers founded a newspaper, promoted healthy breakfasts and helped found a Chicago medical centre, but fails to mention anything about the group's militant ideology, its numerous violent clashes with police or even the Black Panthers' stance on gun ownership, which was strikingly similar to that of the modern-day NRA.
Arguing that armed defence was needed to protect against "racist police brutality" — which was certainly in evidence in black communities in the late 1960s — the U.S. group's 1966 founding document calls on "all black people [to] arm themselves for self defence."
The lesson plan notes only that the group was a "rising revolutionary presence" and pins its downfall on "assassinations, mass arrests … psychological warfare and group infiltration" orchestrated by the FBI.
"Why might the political and economic structures in the United States have been problematic for blacks and other minority groups?" asks one of two subsequent questions.
Key parts of the lesson plan are virtually identical to a similar profile of the Black Panthers posted on Marxists.org, the web's primary clearinghouse for Marxist literature. A link to Marxists.org was provided at the bottom of the lesson plan.
Easily accessible to anybody who searched "TDSB" and "Black Panthers" in a Google search, on Thursday the documents were picked up by a blogger who declared it as proof of TDSB "anti-capitalist brainwashing," nurtured by the "neo-Marxist ideological cesspool that is the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education."
By Friday morning, the school board had taken it down, noting that it was one of "thousands" of supplementary documents on the TDSB website, and may have escaped their attention.
"We've taken it down in the short term to ensure that what we are providing information on is balanced and gives voice to groups that have traditionally been marginalized in an appropriate way," said Mr. Spyropoulos.
"We're in the process of vetting thousands and thousands of pages that have accumulated since the board amalgamated," said TDSB spokeswoman Shari Schwartz-Maltz.
"We're actively on it, it's just a long process. "

ELYRIA — In August, Vicki Satterfield and her two sisters graced the pages of Playboy magazine in a six-page pictorial called "Small-Town Triplets."
Soon, Vicki Satterfield will be featured in 30 hours of community service at a nonprofit agency if she wants to avoid serving three days in jail.
Satterfield, 23, pleaded no contest Friday to a misdemeanor assault charge in connection with allegations she took a swing at an Elyria police officer on Oct. 18 near Club 57, the former Diamond Men's Club.
Elyria Municipal Court Judge Lisa Locke Graves also ordered Satterfield to get an alcohol assessment in order to avoid jail time.
Satterfield, a former dancer at the club, also was fined $250 and was ordered to pay $188 in court costs. If the $438 is not paid by Jan. 4, a warrant might be issued for her arrest or her driver's license could be forfeited, according to court documents.
In all, a 60-day jail term is hanging over Satterfield's head if she does not obey all laws for the next two years, according to court documents.
A police report from the incident in October said an employee from Club 57 flagged down a police officer, saying another employee was causing a disturbance and would not leave the business.
While the officer was inside, Satterfield and one of her sisters began arguing with club staff over what they had been paid, the report said.
The officer told them it was a civil matter and the sisters would have to leave, but Vicki Satterfield refused and swung at the officer with her left fist when he attempted to escort her out, according to the report.
Satterfield initially was charged with fourth-degree felony assault because the incident involved a police officer, but the charge was dropped to a first-degree misdemeanor, according to court documents. Another charge of disorderly conduct/ intoxication was dropped by prosecutors.

Williams praises Ozzie's Sox contributions
White Sox GM exchanged texts with new Marlins skipper
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
Williams talked to MLB.com about a text exchange he had with Guillen during this Spring Training in which he thanked the former manager for helping the White Sox achieve consistent success.
"I don't know if it was last week or the week before that that I sent him a message, a text, just thanking him for the hard work and expressed to him directly you know it saddens me that things worked out the way they did," Williams said. "But I thanked him for the hard work and all that we accomplished together and I wished him luck.
"He wrote back and thanked me for the opportunity to manage the team that he was most fond of. He loves the city and everything. It was a nice exchange."
All sides clearly have moved on since Guillen's departure to Florida, and Williams doesn't see a scenario where that peace will change. He also didn't look as his staying in Chicago and Guillen being let out of the final year of his White Sox contract as his personal victory in a power struggle.
"It was portrayed as some sort of power play, but I never felt that. It simply is untrue," Williams said. "I had no problem working with Ozzie [on] all baseball-related things. Some of the peripheral things, you know, I think probably anybody would have a little bit of an issue here and there.
"You won't hear anything negative come out of my mouth about Ozzie Guillen or anybody that was on the staff. I don't believe that there will be any, at least I hope that people can move on to the point where we can still appreciate all the things that were accomplished here."
Peavy revels in Minor success
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Jake Peavy followed John Danks to the Camelback Ranch back fields on Thursday afternoon, making a start against the Rangers' Triple-A team. There was really nothing to be gained by the right-hander facing a Royals team he probably will go against two or three times during the 2012 regular season, so instead he worked on his offspeed pitchers under a controlled environment.
"We wanted to establish the slower breaking ball, curveball, getting ahead of the lefties with a breaking ball," said Peavy, who allowed one run on six hits over 6 1/3 innings, while striking out six and throwing 84 pitches. "Everything went well. I love going down and getting to interact at that level and see our younger players, throw to our young catchers and get a lot of work in.
"You take that same mindset there. But you know exactly how many pitches you're going to throw so you can truly stay to a game plan. It doesn't matter if you give up four hits on that breaking ball, you're going to stay with it."
Thursday's outing followed five no-hit innings thrown by Peavy against the Mariners during Cactus League action on Saturday. His next start comes Tuesday at home against the Indians, but Peavy once again will work in a Minor League game.
"What's meaningful to me is the way I feel command-wise," Peavy said. "I didn't walk anybody, got up and down seven times. Location-wise, I was very pleased with that.
"As I got tired, I started missing a little. I tried to let it all hang out in that last inning and it wasn't there, which was to be expected."
Dunn, Viciedo pump up offense's confidence
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- After scoring 13 runs against the Mariners on Wednesday, the White Sox hung 16 on Bruce Chen and the Royals during Thursday afternoon's victory at Camelback Ranch.
Suddenly, the offense that scored 19 combined runs while losing five out of six looks as if it's hitting stride. Manager Robin Ventura wasn't as concerned with the results as he was with the swings taken by his charges.
"You see them getting better at-bats," Ventura said. "Not only the hits, but fouling off pitches. Fighting through at-bats and getting better timing. I think that's part of the process of Spring Training, to get yourself there.
"We're not going to do this every day. But during the season, you can piece enough at-bats to like what you see as far as going through the lineup and the way guys are approaching at-bats."
Dayan Viciedo, who had a tooth pulled on Wednesday, homered three times during at-bats on the Minor League side Thursday. But it was Adam Dunn who once again received the bulk of the attention with two home runs, including a grand slam, and six RBIs off of Chen.
Dunn has four homers, one strikeout and nine walks in 24 at-bats. In the first inning, Dunn fouled off two pitches from Chen after getting ahead in the count at 2-1, took a third ball and then hit the next pitch out to left.
"That's my goal, to have good at-bats," Dunn said. "To have a plan each at-bat, whether I want to go up there and hit with two strikes, or go up there and hit the first thing I see that's a strike that I can hit hard and swing.
"Now it's playing baseball, just if it's there, swing. If it's not, make sure you get a pitch you can hit. Again, it goes back to seeing the ball. Not only seeing the ball. I know my strike zone, and whenever I'm not balanced, I start swinging at pitches I shouldn't."
Third to first
White Sox manager Robin Ventura expects to have his roster set when the team leaves for two exhibition games in Houston. But he probably won't yet name a closer from among Matt Thornton, Addison Reed and Jesse Crain.
Crain will test his strained right oblique with a bullpen session Friday. The right-hander was scratched from a game last Wednesday and has not pitched since.
Eduardo Escobar is 10 for his last 17, while Paul Konerko has hit in eight straight.

The author was distraught when Olivia "Susy" Clemens, his eldest and favourite daughter, died of spinal meningitis in 1896, aged 24.
"She was a magazine of feelings, & they were of all kinds & of all shades of force," he wrote in the newly unearthed collection. "In all things she was intense: in her this characteristic was not a mere glow, dispensing warmth, but a consuming fire."
The tribute is contained in A Family Sketch, a 64-page, handwritten document that offers an "intimate record" of life in the Twain household. It is among 200 manuscripts, letters and photographs to be auctioned at Sotheby's in New York on June 17.
Also included is a heartfelt nine-page letter in which Twain wrote to his prospective father-in-law, Jervis Langdon, offering a list of character references and insisting that he was excellent husband material.
Twain had fallen in love with Langdon's daughter, Olivia. "I am not hurrying my love, it is my love hurrying me," he wrote. Setting out his plans for the future – Twain was then working as a newspaper journalist – he added: "As to what I am going to be, henceforth, it is a thing which must be proven & established. I am upon the right path – I shall succeed, I hope. Men as lost as I have found a Savior, & why not I?"
The letter, signed in his real name of Sam L Clemens, was written in 1868. Eight years later, Twain published The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, followed by Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
The letter is estimated to fetch $30,000-$50,000 (£19,500 – £32,500). A Family Sketch carries an estimate of $120,000-$180,000.
The collection could raise up to $1.2 million, according to Sotheby's. It is being offered by the family of the late James S Copley, a media executive who built up a library of historic manuscripts. Bidders will include the University of California, which has the largest repository of Twain material.
David Hirst, the general editor of the collection, said the tribute to Susy was the most prized lot. "A Family Sketch is certainly one of the gems of the Sotheby's sale. Any Mark Twain archive or collector would be willing to go hungry for two or three years just in order to be able to buy it," he said.
In one vignette, the abolitionist Twain describes a visit to his publisher accompanied by his butler, George Griffin. The sight of a white man and a black man together was "a new spectacle" to the assembled clerks, he wrote. "The glance embarrassed George, but not me, for the companionship was proper; in some ways he was my equal, in some others my superior..."
Yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the author's death.

Nigerians are hard-working. Back in Ughelli, where I grew up, I was a civil engineer. I used to work on the weekend. What we really look forward to back home is church on Sunday morning. In London, I go to Winners Chapel. When I'm not there, you can find me in Dalston Junction. My friend has a barber shop on Kingsland Road, Basic Looks , and we all hang out there drinking brandy, watching football and listening to music.
I like going out on Friday night, so I can look forward to a good sleep on Saturday. I take friends I want to impress to Wazobia – there are a few African restaurants in London, but that's the best.
I love myself, so I have to make myself look good. I have a gentleman's style. My glasses are Ray-ban, my hat is from Marks & Spencer and my jacket is Hugo Boss. All my shirts are Hawes & Curtis. I like the big collar. A friend brought the necklace back from the States.
It takes a very confident woman to go out with me. It's the way I dress. I intimidate them. The only way I can get someone is if I come down to their level and dress like an English boy in jeans and a T-shirt. I would dress like that only on very rare occasions. I believe in a tailored trouser and I don't wear trainers. Trainers are for jogging, not for dressing.

Lasers in Dental Care (cont.)

How Do Lasers Work?
All lasers work by delivering energy in the form of light. When used for surgical procedures, the laser acts as a cutting instrument or a vaporizer of tissue that it comes in contact with. When used for "curing" a filling, the laser helps to strengthen the bond between the filling and the tooth. When used in teeth whitening procedures, the laser acts as a heat source and enhances the effect of tooth beaching agents.
What Are the Pros and Cons of Using a Laser?
Compared to the traditional dental drill, lasers:
- May cause less pain in some instances, therefore, reducing the need for anesthesia
- May reduce anxiety in patients uncomfortable with the use of the dental drill
- Minimize bleeding and swelling during soft tissue treatments
- May preserve more healthy tooth during cavity removal
The disadvantages of lasers are that:
- Lasers can't be used on teeth with fillings already in place.
- Lasers can't be used in many commonly performed dental procedures. For example, lasers can't be used to fill cavities located between teeth, around old fillings, and large cavities that need to be prepared for a crown. In addition, lasers cannot be used to remove defective crowns or silver fillings, or prepare teeth for bridges.
- Traditional drills may still be needed to shape the filling, adjust the bite, and polish the filling even when a laser is used.
- Lasers do not eliminate the need for anesthesia.
- Laser treatment tends to be more expensive since the cost of the laser is much higher than a dental drill. Lasers can cost between $39,000 and $45,000 compared to about $600 for a standard drill.

A new 'Green Lease Toolkit' has been developed in South Africa in response to a market demand that has been expressed in recent times by both tenants and land- lords.
South African landlords have consistently requested guidance and resources to help harness the benefits of well-designed, well-built and well-operated buildings, while tenants are demanding 'green' space in a bid to take advantage of healthier environments that green buildings offer.
The toolkit was codeveloped by the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA) and the South African Property Owners Association (Sapoa).
Sapoa CEO Neil Gopal states that conventional buildings are responsible for up to 40% of greenhouse gases, which is why it is imperative that more green buildings are designed and constructed.
Gopal says the market is showing an increasing interest in sustainable devel- opment in South Africa, which motivates developers to procure more green buildings.
"A green lease ensures that a sustainably constructed building is operated in a sustainable manner," he says.

Lebanon ranks 8th regionally in terms of ease of paying taxes
The ease-of-paying-taxes rankings are compiled through three sub-indicators: the number of tax payments, the time afforded for compliance and the total tax rate

The World Bank's private sector arm, the International Finance Corporation, in conjunction with PricewaterHouseCoopers issued a report termed "Paying Taxes 2012: The Global Picture" in which it ranked Lebanon 41st out of 183 countries and eighth out of 16 Middle East and North African countries in terms of ease of paying taxes.
In order to rank countries based on the aforementioned criterion, the study involves recording the taxes and mandatory contributions that a medium-size company must pay in a given year, as well as measuring the administrative burden of paying taxes and other contributions. A result overview shows Lebanon's global ranking regressed from the 36th spot, while it retained its regional position from the previous survey.
This is in line with the performance of several regional jurisdictions which have fallen in this year's report. According to the survey, in several locations, levied taxes are limited to social security contributions on national employees. That said, many of the jurisdictions in the MENA region are increasingly adopting other revenue raising measures to meet budgetary needs, thus impacting the cost of compliance of many businesses. These measures include increased fees and levies paid for licenses, permits and other government approvals necessary to operate a business. In addition to rising tariff rates, many businesses also need to employ an increasing numbers of back office staff to comply with these changes, which is resulting in higher overhead costs at a time when many businesses are struggling to survive.
The ease-of-paying-taxes rankings are compiled through three sub-indicators: the number of tax payments, the time afforded for compliance and the total tax rate. When it comes to tax payments, the study indicates that the standard case study in Lebanon paid a total of 19 taxes, 12 of which are labor tax payments, six are other miscellaneous tax payments and one is a corporate income tax payment. This compares to a regional average of 20 tax-related transactions, 12 of which are labor tax payments, seven are miscellaneous tax payments and one is a corporate income tax payment. Globally, Lebanon ranked 68th out of 183 countries in this indicator, while in the MENA region Lebanon came in ninth out of 16 countries.
The indicator for the time to comply assesses the number of hours per year the case study spends dealing with taxes. In Lebanon, the sample case study spends 100 hours dealing with labor taxes, 40 hours handling corporate income taxes and 40 hours dealing with consumption taxes. Therefore, it dedicates 180 hours each year to deal with taxes. It is worth noting that for this indicator, the longer time dedicated to handling taxes, the lower the rank. This compares to a regional average of 186 hours a year to deal with taxes, distributed into 76 hours to deal with labor taxes, 61 hours to deal with corporate income taxes and 49 hours to deal with consumption taxes. Lebanon ranked 62nd globally, and ninth regionally in this category.
Finally, when examining the indicator for tax rate, the case study in Lebanon appears to have a total tax rate of 30.2 percent of commercial profits, against a regional average of 32 percent. The labor tax rate was found to be at 24.1 percent of commercial profits, compared to a 17 percent average in the MENA region. The corporate tax rate was at 6.1 percent of total commercial profits compared to a regional average of 10 percent. Lastly, when it comes to miscellaneous tax rates as a percentage of commercial profits, the regional average was 4 percent, compared to 0 percent in Lebanon. For this indicator, the lower the rate is, the higher the ranking. Lebanon ranked 44nd globally and ninth regionally in this category.

The 11th-ranked Maryland women's basketball team will be without starting guard Laurin Mincy for the rest of the season after the junior tore the ACL in her right knee during Wednesday night's 90-71 victory over No. 21 Nebraska in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge in Lincoln, Neb.
After scoring a season-high 16 points and going 4 for 4 from three-point range, Mincy landed awkwardly and left with roughly 15 minutes to play in regulation. She did not re-enter, although she was able to walk as well as pedal on an exercise bike during the game.
An MRI exam on Thursday revealed the tear, which is the second of her career and the third to befall a member of the women's basketball team. Sophomore presumptive starting point guard Brene Moseley tore the ACL in her left knee on Oct. 21 during a preseason scrimmage and is out until next season, and reserve senior center Essence Townsend tore an ACL during an exhibition game.
"Obviously everyone's disappointed for her, but I know this team will rally behind her and rally around each other," Coach Brenda Frese said in a teleconference on Friday morning. "That's the type of character we have in the locker room. It just means we've got to step up even more and be more creative with our practices, and we've got to be smarter with what we're doing, but it's not going to change who we are."
Mincy, who is scheduled to have surgery on Dec. 21, was the second-leading scorer for the Terrapins last season, averaging 13.1 points per game. In last season's NCAA tournament, Mincy combined to score 45 points in consecutive victories over then-No. 19 Louisville and then-No. 14 Texas A&M, which at the time was the reigning national champion. Maryland advanced to the regional final before losing to Notre Dame, 80-49.
Mincy was the team's fourth-leading scorer this season at 8.6 points per game, and the absence of the honorable mention all-ACC selection leaves the Terrapins considerably shorthanded and without one of their best on-ball defenders. Maryland has eight players on the active roster, and its next game is Monday night against No. 2 Connecticut in Hartford as part of the Jimmy V Classic.
"My spirits are pretty high now," said Mincy, whose tore the ACL in her left knee in high school. "I have all my teammates around me and the coaching staff. There's nothing that I can do about it now or anyone else can do about it now. Just being sad is really not going to help anything."
The rash of ACL tears on the women's basketball team comes in the aftermath of four members of the Maryland football team absorbing the same injuries. Starting quarterback C.J. Brown tore an ACL during the preseason, and backup quarterbacks turned starters Perry Hills and Caleb Rowe, both freshmen, suffered torn ACLs during the regular season, as did starting linebacker Demetrius Hartsfield.

Third, we must have financing that helps developing countries adapt, particularly the least-developed and most vulnerable to climate change. America will be a part of fast-start funding that will ramp up to $10 billion in 2012. And, yesterday, Secretary Clinton made it clear that we will engage in a global effort to mobilize $100 billion in financing by 2020, if – and only if – it is part of the broader accord that I have just described.
Mitigation. Transparency. And financing. It is a clear formula – one that embraces the principle of common but differentiated responses and respective capabilities. And it adds up to a significant accord – one that takes us farther than we have ever gone before as an international community.
The question is whether we will move forward together, or split apart. This is not a perfect agreement, and no country would get everything that it wants. There are those developing countries that want aid with no strings attached, and who think that the most advanced nations should pay a higher price. And there are those advanced nations who think that developing countries cannot absorb this assistance, or that the world's fastest-growing emitters should bear a greater share of the burden.
We know the fault lines because we've been imprisoned by them for years. But here is the bottom line: we can embrace this accord, take a substantial step forward, and continue to refine it and build upon its foundation. We can do that, and everyone who is in this room will be a part of an historic endeavor – one that makes life better for our children and grandchildren.
Or we can again choose delay, falling back into the same divisions that have stood in the way of action for years. And we will be back having the same stale arguments month after month, year after year – all while the danger of climate change grows until it is irreversible.
There is no time to waste. America has made our choice. We have charted our course, we have made our commitments, and we will do what we say. Now, I believe that it's time for the nations and people of the world to come together behind a common purpose.
We must choose action over inaction; the future over the past – with courage and faith, let us meet our responsibility to our people, and to the future of our planet. Thank you.

Alleged sex, lies, and genital moles
Union boss Mickey Kasparian responds to deposition specifics
Dorian Hargrove 1:30 p.m., Nov. 20
Primitive Noyes describes their music as "electroniscape pop." The band's sound is redolent of those 1960s-era anti-drug films intended to scare junior high school kids away from dope. To wit: "One senses the invocation of an alternate reality, ephemeral imaginings animating the void," a concertgoer wrote on a Reader blog after witnessing a show in June.
Their music envelopes a listener in rich and meditative instrumental excursions that include the bowing of bass guitars, digital sampling, looping, and the buzz of controlled feedback. But it's a warm buzz. So much of pop electronica can sound frigid and nervous. A listen to Primitive Noyes may at times be an act of waiting for something to happen, but at least it's a pleasant wait. The band has released one CD, Ideation — "as in the process of having an idea."
Primitive Noyes started in San Diego in 2009 and performs at Whistle Stop, Soda Bar, Ruby Room, and Tin Can Ale House. They are Jordan Hammond, Glendon Romett, Shannon St. John, and Jamal Smith. Jordan Hammond answered the questions below.
What are you guys working on now?
"Not going crazy with the BS of real life, balancing this multiple-way marriage of a band, and figuring out how to respect each other. Also, a bunch of gear broke all at once, so we gotta handle that."
What is the hardest part of being in this band?
"Persistence. It's hard even when you know the value of persistence. To get the best work out of yourself, it seems like you have to be singularly focused. But even when you do your best work, the fact is you are only background music in a club for people to drink their Newcastles to."
Have you guys ever played a wedding gig?
"Nope. We'll play yours, though."
How did this band come about?
"A few folks wanted to play music together and work on it really hard without using anything outside ourselves as the judge of quality."
Who writes your material?
"No one. It turns out it was already written. We just need to shut up our dumb thoughts and find it."
There was a story in the Wall Street Journal a few months ago that said that all the good band names had been taken...
"The Wall Street Journal is wrong. There are echelons of creativity yet to be explored, ones that will exist long after we are dead. I really like our band name. It slowly developed in the same manner we write. Then it solidified itself, and now we stand by it."
Do you get pre-show jitters?
"We just promise ourselves that we'll give it all we got every time we play I guess, try to not look back, try to not think. Maybe practice more? I don't know. I still get them."
What was your favorite song to write?
"The process is always so different. Our finished songs are more an attempt to express the powerfully moving creative experiences we get to have when we are focused and responding to each other, musically or not. We get to rewrite the songs every time we play them. It's kind of empowering, and it's kind of intimidating, but I think that means we are on the right path."
The 12 most-essential musicians or bands of all time?
1) Boards of Canada
2) Bear in Heaven
3) Godspeed You! Black Emperor
4) Do Make Say Think
5) Radiohead
6) Miles Davis

Liverpool ready to sell
After signing two priority targets, Liverpool will now attempt to sell the unwanted members of their squad.
Last Updated: 08/07/11 10:36am
After signing two of their priority targets, Liverpool will now attempt to sell the unwanted members of their squad.
Former Blackpool captain Charlie Adam finally completed his move to Anfield on Thursday night following six months of negotiations and speculation.
The Scotland international's signing comes after Jordan Henderson was bought from Sunderland at the beginning of the summer break.
Roma goalkeeper Alexander Doni looks set to become the next arrival, while Aston Villa's England winger Stewart Downing remains a target, despite a failed initial £15million bid.
Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli has also confirmed that the Reds will now aim to make some room in their squad, with the likes of Milan Jovanovic, Paul Konchesky and Joe Cole included in the probable departures.
"We are very pleased because the two signings we've done were absolute priorities on our list," said the Frenchman.
"When you go into a transfer window you always have X number of targets and it's very rare you get all of them.
"We're lucky we've got two of our priorities. That's good, and I'm sure there'll still be a lot of movement, especially going out but also, hopefully, a few more coming in."
The fact Liverpool's two new signings, and the third they are chasing, are British is a bonus rather than a necessity, according to Comolli.
It had been suggested Kenny Dalglish was implementing a policy of signing players from the home nations - similar to the one which brought him success first time round as Reds boss - but both the manager, in the past, and now Comolli have dismissed that notion.
"There is always a strategy. It's about players who we've identified through the year," said Comolli.
"You identify players in positions where you think you're weak or, if not weak, you think you can get better or add an extra body.
"There is a strategy in terms of profile of players we want to bring in: the mentality, the attitude, the work ethic - and the age is also a factor.
"People think about the citizenship and passport - but this doesn't really matter as much as what I've just said."

In terms of "how to become a PPV star"...
Honestly a big part of it IMO is fighting an already established PPV star and "leeching" his fans. Of course the most obvious examples being Mayweather and Pacquiao gaining superstar status after fighting De La Hoya.
Another thing that is much harder to quantify is a certain quality that casual fans gravitate towards. For Tyson it was pure violence: they paid to see guys get annihilated in the ring. For De La Hoya it was his Olympic gold pedigree and good looks, not to mention heart and actual skills. For Mayweather it's his "love to hate him" persona, and the suspense of who can finally dethrone him and take his 0 (note I mentioned
fans earlier in this paragraph, most casuals don't watch Floyd purely for his boxing skills). For Pacquiao it's his relentless aggression, action packed style, and his improbable run taking out guys much bigger than him.
One more thing is established fanbase. If you're 30 fights into your career and still can't fill a stadium worth a lick, chances are you'll never become a PPV attraction.

Rowland-Smith wild, but not concerned
Rowland-Smith wild, but not concerned
On Thursday in a 9-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies at the Peoria Sports Complex, the Mariners left-handed starter turned in another shaky outing as far as sheer numbers go, and this one was wild, too. He gave up three runs on five hits in 2 2/3 innings, struck out two, walked one, uncorked a wild pitch, and, in the first inning, had a balk called against him.
Through three spring starts, Rowland-Smith's ERA is at 8.10 and he hasn't pitched more than three innings because of elevated pitch counts. He threw 66 pitches Thursday afternoon.
"It went better than last time out," Rowland-Smith said, referencing his previous spring start, in which he gave up three runs on four hits in two innings against the Royals on March 12. "Just a couple of deep counts that got my pitch count up. But besides that, I was happy with it. I got the ball down more today.
"If you eliminate two, three pitches in a couple at-bats, all of a sudden you get to the fourth or fifth inning with the same amount of pitches."
The Mariners need Rowland-Smith to be a reliable cog in their starting rotation if they are to have any hopes of reaching the postseason. And with the five-game suspension of Cliff Lee looming, it's possible that manager Don Wakamatsu could turn to the lefty to follow ace Felix Hernandez by getting the ball in the team's second game of the season April 6 in Oakland.
Rowland-Smith showed plenty of potential in 2009, throwing at least six innings in nine of his final 11 starts, including eight quality starts (six innings or more, three earned runs or less). He also pitched at least seven innings in eight of his 15 total starts, went 2-1 with a 2.59 ERA in five starts against the American League West, and had the third-best ERA in the Majors against the AL West behind AL Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke of Kansas City (0.94) and teammate Erik Bedard (1.83).
Rowland-Smith was on track to be the No. 4 starter if the Mariners decided to alternate righties and lefties, with No. 1 Hernandez being followed by southpaw Lee and right-hander Ian Snell.
After Thursday's game, Wakamatsu said he felt Rowland-Smith still has some more to prove this spring.
"I thought he was up in the zone, pulling off a lot of pitches," Wakamatsu said. "I guess the good thing we're looking at is the amount of pitches that we're starting to build these guys up [with]. Sixty-six is kind of on track, but there's a lot more work to be done."
Rowland-Smith admitted that while he was working on all of his pitches Thursday, his command of them was drifting in and out.
"Early in the game, I didn't have a good feel for my slider, but I threw some better ones [later]," he said. "My changeup was good early, but I lost a feel for it later in the game."
And then there was the balk, which came with one out in the first inning and a runner on first base.
Rowland-Smith, whose normal pitching motion includes a slide-step move toward the plate, said he was operating under the presumption that as a left-handed pitcher, he is entitled to step down on the first-base side of an imaginary line that splits the mound in two at a 45-degree angle without being called for a balk, which enables all runners to advance one base.
This, however, is not written into the rules of Major League Baseball.
"I stepped 45 degrees, and they called a balk," Rowland-Smith said. "I felt like I went 45 degrees, looked in the dirt, got the protractor out and it looked like it was 45."
Rowland-Smith was able to joke about it, he said, because it's Spring Training and he's still got time to refine his repertoire until it's ready for the regular season. He said he felt like he inched closer to having the stamina and command necessary to make the 30-plus starts the Mariners are counting on him to deliver, despite the somewhat crooked numbers he's put up in the desert so far.
"This is the third time I've thrown to hitters in the last four or five months, so that's what it's all about," Rowland-Smith said.
"You learn so much about where you're at in [these] games."

Peach Sets New Weight Record in Palisade, Colorado
Do you love peaches?
There's a lot to love on a huge peach picked recently on the western slope of Colorado.
Farmer Robert Helmer harvested a Cresthaven peach that weighed 1.5 pounds according to the Grand Juction Sentinal.
An average peach weighs about half a pound, one third of Helmer's giant peach. It would cost $3.28 at "Farmer Bob"'s fruit stand, where peaches sell for $2.50 per pound.

While attending Loras I have learned different strategies to help me be successful in the future. As a senior, I have compiled a portfolio that demonstrates the different dispositions that I have learned while at Loras. The different disposition that I have learned while at Loras include: becoming an active learner, a reflective thinker, an ethical decision maker, and a responsible contributor. In this portfolio I have gathered artifacts that show how I have developed each year in the dispositions. To go along with the artifacts I have composed a narrative for each disposition. The narratives show how I have developed in the different areas throughout my college career.
By doing this portfolio I was able to how I have developed in each area while at Loras. I was also able to see that all the learning that I did goes more in depth than meets the eye. I have learned through this portfolio that Loras has given me all the tools that I need in order to successful in the future. I have become knowledgeable about what it takes to be an active learner, reflective thinker, ethical decision maker, and responsible contributor. These tools will come in handing in the future.

Dorian Fuller becomes new ICCHA Director (UK)
24 October 2012
Dorian Fuller was recently appointed to take over as the UK Executive Director of the International Centre for Chinese Heritage and Archaeology (ICCHA).
The ICCHA Steering Committee met earlier this month in Doha, Qatar, hosted by Thilo Rehren, Director of UCL Qatar, who stepped down from the position of Executive Director of the Centre, although he remains on the committee.
Taking over this role, Dorian, who has extensive research interests in China, has indicated:
- The ICCHA has an important role to play in creating synergies among the many staff and student research projects on Chinese archaeology, and facilitating networks of researchers in London and China. Having pursued research myself in China over the past several years, I have come to see that there is great potential to bring together the rapid growth in archaeological excavation and museum building in China with the specialists from UCL and elsewhere in the UK. I am looking forward to using the ICCHA to help foster more of such research collaborations.
The International Centre for Chinese Heritage and Archaeology (ICCHA), established in 2003 as a joint association between the School for Archaeology and Museology of Peking University and the UCL Institute of Archaeology, is dedicated to promoting China's cultural past and facilitating communication between Western and Eastern scholars.

Editor's Column: How Not to Run a Government or a CU
Often in life things happen that you just have to shake your head at. We all know this happens in CUs, too. That said, I'm going to indulge my penchant for sarcasm with a list of how-to's you never want to see.
How to Topple What Might Sorta Be an Economic Recovery
Talk of the debt ceiling can induce MEGO: my eyes glaze over. News outlets analyzing the horror if the U.S. debt ceiling is not raised and the party politics of it. I found a good blog that helped me understand the practical aspects of it by Rick Newman at USNews.com.
The silver lining to this potential black cloud is that interest rates could go up. However, you also wouldn't have many employed members left to borrow. My point is that something as ethereal as the debt ceiling is crucial for CU leaders to pay attention to. (See 'How to Run a Credit Union Using the Ignorance-Is-Bliss Method' below.)
Many are bored to tears or frustrated by politics, but those can't be ignored either. Republicans are trying to demonstrate their strength by threatening not to raise the debt ceiling. In truth they really don't have much power, especially given the splintered views within the party. And the Dems don't have to give up because 1) the Republicans will kill the global economy by not permitting an increase or 2) Republicans will allow the increase and the Democrats will be able to go into a presidential election year saying, "See what we were able to do." The Chicago Tribune reported that Senate Minority Leaders Mitch McConnell has a well-balanced proposal allowing gradual increases in the debt limit that Congress could halt with a "measure of disapproval" that President Obama could then veto. Crisis averted. GOP face saved.
Even closer to home for CUs, the tax exemption could get tangled in what the administration has termed "tax expenditures." In the end, the credit union tax exemption is a lost revenue opportunity to help Uncle Sam pay back all its debts. CUs cannot take a threat to the tax exemption lightly, though as I've written beforeit should not be a sacred cow. CUs must defend the tax exemption with all their might unless there are greater benefits to reap by gaining capital reform or business lending. Don't listen to your hearts; do the math and see what the best business decision is for your members.
How to Screw Up Federal Agencies
The CUs and other regulated financial institutions have argued from day one that they didn't need a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because their primary regulator already handled that. Lawmakers insisted that the CFPB would ensure consumer protection across all financials, including the fringe providers like payday lenders. Now, with no official leader of the regulatory body, politicians have rubbed salt in the wound since as of this print deadline, only the less scrupulous lenders cannot be reined in despite seeking public comment on how to do just that.
The NCUA is another agency with an unfathomable structure at the top. I requested an interview with all three board members together and I was denied. I wasn't denied because the board didn't want to but because a meeting of the majority of the members of the board constitutes a board meeting requiring public notice and all the bureaucratic trimmings. It's time to increase the size of the board.
How to Jump the Gun Without Shooting Yourself in the Foot
A provision streamlining the CU to bank conversion process became law in Wisconsin. State League President/CEO Brett Thompson said in a statement that the change would "subvert the interests of a credit union's full membership to that of a few who intend to own and profit." According to the league, the law required "little meaningful notice" of a pending conversion vote, no protections of members' voting rights or equity.
The legislation, in fact, does include three notices be sent to members and that members could vote either in person at the conversion-vote meeting or by mail prior to that meeting date. The legislation isn't very detailed though, and that's a good thing because it's always more difficult to change law than regulations. Regulation to implement the legislation is intended to be more detailed. This is where the league must concentrate its efforts regarding member education in the bank-conversion process.
How to Run a Credit Union Using the Ignorance Is Bliss Method
The Credit Union Leadership Forum recently conducted a survey of senior credit union executives and board members. We asked, "How would you rank your board effectiveness in carrying out their responsibilities?"' Nearly half said the board was somewhat effective (36%) or not effective (6%); 58% responded very effective. Interestingly, only 23% performed annual board evaluations. Further only 12% performed evaluations on individual board members.
During a recent web seminar held by our Leadership Forum, the attendees were polled on the effectiveness of their board's culture. While 55% responded they held challenging discussions on the right issues with the right tone, another 31% said they could be more effective in strategic and succession planning discussions. A full 25% responded that they wished the board could be more engaged strategically. And while most indicated the board does discuss technology at the strategic level, 11% said they never do.
Education is the only way credit union executives and boards can keep up in the modern financial services marketplace.

HOUSTON - With the antiquated Astrodome looming in the background, the dude lined up to get into Reliant Stadium wearing the retro power blue jersey gave the city of Houston a reminder of its football history on Saturday.
A Houston Oilers jersey.
One with the No. 34 stitched on the back.
And the name Campbell on the front.
Earl Campbell.
With apologies to the likes of Bum Phillips, Warren Moon, Dan Pastorini and the legendary Billy (White Shoes) Johnson, the face of pro football in Houston will always be Earl Campbell, whose bruising battering runs at the Astrodome will forever be part of NFL lore.
Unfortunately, for far too long, such memories were all the pigskin-loving citizens here had to latch on to.
The Oilers, after all, bolted for Tennessee in 1996.
And even though the expansion Texans came on the scene six years later, the team had never enjoyed the type of success that could capture the imaginations of the fourth-largest city in the U.S.
Until Saturday, that is.
Now, some 28 years after Campbell played his final game for Houston, there is another running back who has rumbled his way into the collective hearts of this community.
His name is Arian Foster. Hes a kid who admits hes fantasized all his life of one day playing in an NFL post-season game.
And, on an electric wild card Saturday afternoon at Reliant Stadium, he did exactly that.
In the first post-season game in Texans franchise history, Foster ripped around, through and over a porous Cincinnati Bengals defence for 153 yards and a pair of touchdowns, giving Houston an impressive 31-10 wildcard victory in front of a record Reliant Stadium throng of 71,725.
Of course, even Foster admitted it wasnt as easy as it looked.
With the likes of Pastorini, Bum Phillips and Houston native Dennis Quaid looking on, Foster almost fumbled on the first play from scrimmage.
Sensing that his star running back still had butterflies churning around deep in his gut, Texans coach Gary Kubiak quickly yanked Foster out of the game in order to help him get his composure.
He found it, all right ... and then some.
Im just elated and excited to bring a playoff win to a city that has been thirsting for a playoff victory for a long time, Foster said, admitting he had some jitters at first.
Fosters rags-to-riches story is one that certainly will be more publicized in the coming days. An undrafted free agent out of the University of Tennessee, he was signed by the Texans in 2009 and went on to rush for more than 1,000 yards in both 2010 and 2011.
Even with those impressive numbers, what Foster was able to accomplish on Saturday afternoon meant more. Much more.
To do it on this stage, in the playoffs, in front of all these fans, is just so special, Foster said.
Asked what has motivated him to keep on chugging ahead even after being passed over in his draft year, Foster pointed to his family situation.
I had daughter during training camp during my rookie year, he explained. I didnt want her wondering one day where her next meal would come from like I did growing up.
Foster need not worry about that anymore. If he keeps this up, restaurateurs throughout Houston will be lining up offering to provide free dinners for the Foster clan.
Of course, he did have some help from his friends. Rookie quarterback T.J. Yates tossed for 159 yards and a score. Star wideout Andre Johnson made five grabs for 90 yards and a touchdown. And rookie defensive lineman J.J. Watt changed the momentum of the game with a 29-yard interception return for a touchdown in the final minute of the first half that put the Texans up 17-10, a lead they would not relinquish.
Now its on to Baltimore for a date with the Ravens on Sunday, Jan. 15. The Ravens defeated the Texans 29-14 in Maryland back on Oct. 16 but Johnson couldnt care less about that result.
Right now I think we can play with anyone, Johnson said.
Especially when Arian Foster is on your side.

Summer is here, and the time is right for dancing in the streets. But what's the best summer song to soundtrack such activities? We here at Y! Music decided to hold a mega-poll to answer that (sun)burning summer question: a no-holds-barred tournament to determine the best summer anthem of all time.
After lots of heated (pun intended) debate, we've selected 32 of the most memorable summer songs ever, pitting them against each other in a winner-takes-all bracket. Scroll down to vote for this match-up!
"California Gurls" - Katy Perry
Katy Perry's "California Gurls" won out over 2012's summer song Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" with 66% of votes.
From cheeky singer/songwriter to full-blown mega star, Katy Perry gave listeners a glittery, diabetes-inducing look into her sexy, Candyland fantasy world. The first single off her second album Teenage Dream, the 2010 song dominated charts and heralded in a record-breaking run that earned Perry the most #1 songs from a single album since Michael Jackson, with a tie of five each. Not to mention the song is catchy, fun, and unforgettable—just like how a summer fling should be.
"Blurred Lines" - Robin Thicke
Both released this year to a huge reception, Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" ultimately won out over Daft Punk's highly-anticipated new single "Get Lucky" with 57% of votes, where both of which happen to feature Pharrell Williams.
Robin Thicke, T.I., and Pharrell turned up the heat on the top-40 circuit this summer with their provocative hit "Blurred Lines." Throughout the season, millions of listeners have requested this mega-hit on radio airwaves thanks to its flirty lyrics and playful beat built on a classic Marvin Gaye sample. Pair a sexy summer single with an even sexier music video (that also features bright red hashtags) and it's no wonder "Blurred Lines" has clawed its way up the summer music totem pole.
Which summer song deserves to move onto the next round? Vote in the poll below, vote on other pairings (Round 2 voting ends July 28 at 6 PM PT), tweet out your choices using the hashtag #YSummerSong, and hit the comments to tell us about all the great summer songs we forgot to include.
