It must be for some. And one man, 63-year-old Jose Santiago Delao of Texas, was willing to provide dental services on the cheap, despite not having a license. Eventually he landed on the authorities' radar and was arrested following a complaint from a woman about a botched molar repair:
Delao admits he skirted the law, but isn't remorseful.
"Jesus Christ didn't need or didn't have a license," Jose Delao told Yahoo News during a jailhouse interview. "People hurt and they needed it. People didn't have enough money to visit the regular dentist."
Delao, a former dental lab technician, claims he couldn't turn his back.
"It broke my heart," he said, tapping his chest, "because I have the experience."
But authorities say Delao, a native of Costa Rica, has never been a licensed dentist in Texas. If convicted, he could get two to 10 years in prison….
A survey of published news reports shows that as many as eight such underground dental clinics have been shutdown in the U.S. since last summer.
"I would clearly classify it as a problem," said Dr. Frank Catalanotto, chair of the Department of Community Dentistry at the University of Florida. "It is potentially a big problem."
I disagree that the problem is unlicensed dentistry. The problem is that there is obviously a market demand for low-cost dentistry that isn't being met, probably because the barrier to entry in the field as a state-licensed dentist is so high, a barrier which licensed dentists have a vested interest in maintaining, as it protects their market share from would-be competitors like Delao. But people are far more likely to be uninsured for dental care than for medical care, or simply can't afford to pay the high prices of mainstream dental work. Delao understood this and tried to meet the need, to his credit. He may have committed some crime (if, as the story reports, he did not let a patient leave when she wanted to), but trying to help people isn't one of them.
Even with substantial help from the government in the form of $7,500 buyer's tax credits, automakers are having trouble moving their electric vehicles:
Ford Motor Co. is offering hefty discounts of more than $10,000 for leases on its slow-selling Focus electric vehicle.
Ford is offering customers up to $10,750 off for three-year leases, according to the Dearborn automaker's website. It also has dropped the base price of the Focus EV by $2,000 for cash sales.
In addition, Ford is offering a $2,000 cash discount on the Focus EV and 1.9 percent financing if the electric vehicle is purchased through Ford Motor Credit.
The automaker sold just 685 Focus EVs in 2012, but built 1,627 — making it one of the poorest performers among electric vehicles on the market.
This follows reports that Nissan has dropped the base price of its Leaf EV by 18 percent, following sluggish sales in 2012 that didn't come close to meeting projections. And the plug-in hybrid Chevy Volt continues to struggle, although it saw an uptick in sales late last year. But Government Motors still loses thousands of dollars on every Volt it sells.
Despite these grim numbers, some forecasters predict robust sales for EVs in 2013. But President Obama's promise to have one million electric cars on the road by 2015 still seems to be a long shot. The choices made by consumers are speaking much louder than Obama's words ever could.
A couple of weeks ago, tech review and news site CNET removed Dish Network's Hopper device from consideration for its "Best of CES" awards, citing the ongoing litigation between its owner CBS and Dish over the ad-skipping technology in the Hopper.
Actually, it was worse than that: the Hopper had already won the award based on CNET editors' votes, but they hadn't published it yet. CBS forced the editors to vote again without the Hopper in the running. But that's not how they initially reported it.
It gets even worse: just yesterday The Verge reported that CNET could not review any products from Aereo, because CBS is also taking legal action against the live-TV streaming start-up. CNET posted a disclaimer on a news story about Aereo stating that it is a "conflict of interest" to review products which are involved in litigation with CBS. Apparently this is the policy that was more or less made up by CBS executives in putting the kibosh on CNET's award to the Hopper.
Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me.
There is no way going forward that CNET, one of the oldest tech news sites in existence, can put any sort of claim on editorial independence. They are taking their marching orders from the suits, which no longer makes them journalists, but paid shills for the company. Corporate whores. They're working in a brothel now, and Les Moonves is their pimp.
They are rightly being called out for not being more transparent in CBS' meddling in their editorial decisions, and perhaps more importantly, for not making it clear they won't put up with this shit. To date only one reporter, Greg Sandoval, has resigned from CNET. The site's reviews editor, Lindsey Turrentine, posted a tepid apology over the fiasco, in which she stated that if faced with this dilemma again, she would not quit. Apparently her paycheck is a lot more important than her credibility.
Yes, it's easy for me, who isn't employed in journalism, and for TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington, who is a very wealthy journalist, to call on people to quit en masse when they have families to support and mortgages to pay. But supposedly editorial independence, along with freedom of the press, are the foundations of responsible journalism. Take away either and it's no longer journalism; it's something more like advertising or propaganda. Are CNET's staff journalists, or advertisers? To whom do they have responsibility to tell the truth, their readers or their corporate owners?
Choose one side or the other, but be honest about it, and have the courage to face the consequences of that choice.
One of my favorite time sinks for many years has been Shorpy.com ("Always Something Interesting"), a webbed collection of photographs, most pulled from the Library of Congress' vast archives but many also submitted by readers, that offers a high-definition look into America's past. It's astonishing not only for its variety, but the clarity of the digital scans — something which I just learned is thanks to the careful restoration work of the site's proprietor, Dave Hall. I always felt the site was one of the best-kept secrets on the Web, but it likely will be one of the better-known secrets, now that it has been appreciatively profiled on TIME's Web site:
The physical reality of turn-of-the-century America — its machines, factories, tenements and faces — emerge as if unearthed from a time capsule. Quirky cultural artifacts that have always been with us — locked in photosensitive chemicals in the glass plates and nitrate negatives of the LOC's Prints & Photographs Division — feel as new and, in many cases, as unexpected, as they were on the day they were shot.
But the primary value of Shorpy.com isn't just found in the hundreds upon hundreds of restored images of Americana, trains, bathing contests, accidents, war ephemera, portraits of royalty, and the occasional sharecropper. It's in the details that Hall has meticulously restored within each photograph that the true power of these pictures is found. Every image republished on Shorpy has been color corrected, toned, and sharpened — restoring the brilliant texture and jaw-dropping sharpness found in the original negatives and glass plates. These negatives have a tremendous amount of detail, Hall explains, but the Library of Congress' scans often don't reflect this. The details exist in the original negatives, but are frequently hidden in blown-out highlights and muddied shadows. So, with each image, Hall balances the exposure, correcting for the wear of time upon negatives that record a narrow but deep slice of American history.
It truly is an amazing archive, prominently featuring work by some of the legendary New Deal-era photographers who worked for the Farm Security Administration, such as Dorothea Lange, Jack Delano, Gordon Parks, Marion Post Wolcott, and perhaps my favorite from that era, John Vachon. There's also Lewis Wickes Hine (who took the photograph of the site's namesake, Shorpy Higginbotham), and a huge selection of photos from Detroit Publishing Company (who published many of William Henry Jackson's famed Western landscapes) and the National Photo Company. There are also hundreds of reader-submitted photos which offer fascinating glimpses into everyday American life from the '50s through the '70s. Check it out, and I challenge you not to spend hours more than you intended to browsing through its high-definition portal to the past.
My older daughter received the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as a Christmas gift, so we spent the afternoon today watching both parts. In general I found it enjoyable, a satisfying conclusion to the film series, particularly as the previous three installments had dragged considerably. As I have also just finished watching the second season of the acclaimed British period drama Downton Abbey, I was amused to see Maggie Smith bringing the same wit and elegance to her role as Professor McGonagall as she does to playing Violet, the Dowager Countess of Grantham.
But the most amusing part for me was the great battle scenes in Hogwarts castle, particularly a point in which a Death Eater, who has just been struck by a spell, momentarily hangs in midair as if time has stopped, before being blown out of a window. Years ago, when I shared my impressions of the novel on my LiveJournal, I wrote that "whoever directs the film adaptation better turn this into The Matrix with wands: wall-to-wall action, with enough CG to make your eyes bleed." Of course I harbor no illusions about director David Yates having read my LJ entry, and it's no stretch to believe he has been influenced, like so many other filmmakers, by the Wachowskis' pioneering special effects. But it made it enjoyable to watch all the same, even if they didn't hire Rob Zombie to score the movie.
I learn something new about the drug war every day:
"The Mexicans have moved to an old recipe that existed in the '70s and '80s that is called P2P," said Jane C. Maxwell, a senior research scientist at the Addiction Research Institute at the Center for Social Work Research at the University of Texas at Austin.
"It uses precursors that have been banned in the U.S. since the 1980s, but the Mexicans have taken up making it," Maxwell said of ingredients — including a substance called propanone — used to make the drug. "They are making it in mass quantities, and they are damn good chemists."
The old recipe became popular again after Mexico banned the sale of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, the common ingredients that had been used to make the narcotic. But Mexicans have become increasingly adept at using the old recipe for the drug, which Maxwell likened to a weed in a garden that won't go away. (emphasis mine)
So Mexico adopted an even more draconian tactic than the U. S. government, by taking common cold and allergy medications completely off the market and inconveniencing Mexican consumers who simply want to clear up a stuffy nose, and it has not done a damn thing to stop the flow of meth. Making customers provide identification and sign a registry hasn't worked so well in the U. S., either, which is why some states are now requiring prescriptions for what used to be OTC medications.
The bitter irony here is that drug warriors will point to cases like this as proof that the government must never lessen its vigilance in combating illicit drugs. But it is precisely this high adaptability of black markets to prohibition that makes it a futile exercise. Meanwhile, cold and allergy sufferers are being treated like criminals, and declining domestic meth production is taking a more dangerous turn.
If you receive an application for a position requiring a lot of driving or operating heavy machinery, and the applicant has a known history of alcohol or substance abuse, you'd probably be justified in turning the applicant down for the job, right?
You probably already know the answer to this, but: wrong.
A substitute bus driver for the Jefferson County, Colo., school district was cited for careless driving resulting in bodily harm after he struck three teenagers as they crossed the street on Tuesday. The driver, David Shaw, was convicted of DUI in 1992 and according to friends had been in and out of alcohol abuse treatment as recently as 2009.
But even had the school district known this, they could not use it as grounds to terminate him, or even to make a hiring decision:
When asked whether Shaw would have been hired if the district had known he'd been in and out of addiction rehab treatment, a representative cited the American's with Disabilities Act, which reads "'It is illegal under state and federal disability laws to deny employment solely on the basis of a history of treatment for alcohol or substance abuse."
Ignoring the DUI for the moment (which should have been caught in a background check), only the government could come up with employment policies which result in alcoholics driving schoolchildren around in buses.
It's not that they shouldn't be hired at all. But the many-headed beast that is the Americans with Disabilities Act has made it virtually impossible to apply common sense when making hiring decisions. And since the ADA has proved to be a potent legal weapon against businesses who have turned down or fired disabled workers, it has actually had the opposite effect it intended: employment of disabled workers have decreased steadily since passage of the ADA in 1989. But as with most other anti-discrimination laws, merely suggesting that the ADA needs to be overhauled (or heavens forbid, repealed) makes one an enemy of the very group of people the law was intended (but failed) to protect.
More from another hater of disabled people, Cato's Walter Olson, on the occasion of the ADA's 20th anniversary.
Following a week of ferocious public opposition and a withdrawal of support by Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, state Republican lawmakers backed off of a bill that would have required women to undergo an ultrasound before getting an abortion. For most abortions, that meant women would have to submit to an invasive transvaginal ultrasound to determine the age of the fetus. McDonnell acknowledged on Wednesday that "no person should be directed to undergo an invasive procedure by the state, without their consent, as a precondition to another medical procedure."
So a rare win for common decency in the always-heated political fight over abortion rights. But although conservative attempts to restrict abortion tend to receive the most media coverage, it's worth noting that progressives are known for imposing their own agenda to guarantee access to abortion on demand.
The most recent example comes from Washington state, which has long been favorable to abortion rights, even before Roe v. Wade. Now the state House is considering a new bill that would require health insurance providers who offer maternity care to also cover abortions. The intent of the law is to avoid running afoul of Federal accounting rules that took effect under the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), meant to ensure Federal funds aren't used to cover abortions. Lawmakers fear that insurance companies will simply drop coverage for abortion rather than deal with the more complex accounting rules.
The irony here is that the Washington bill represents the lesser of two evils; the Obamacare requirement is arguably worse. It mandates that everyone enrolled in a health plan that provides abortion services pay into a separate fund, taken from their premiums, to cover only abortions. Unlike the Washington bill, which allows a "conscience exemption" for insurance providers if they object to abortion coverage, the enrollees subject to Obamacare rules must pay into the separate abortion fund whether they're a man, a woman, or have no plan to ever get an abortion. This is no more justifiable than the state requiring doctors to violate their patients before performing an abortion.
I am pro-choice, but I recognize that many people (including a lot of libertarians) oppose abortion on moral grounds. Forcing them to pay for a procedure they consider to be murder is at least as offensive as forcing those of us opposed to war to pay for Predator drones to kill civilians. And in general there's a problem with trying to guarantee a positive right to any medical procedure, as it means someone must be forced to provide it. The proposed law in Washington is a stark reminder of that reality.
If a law currently up for vote in the Virginia House passes this week and is signed by Governor Bob McDonnell, it will require many women seeking an abortion to be raped.
No, you didn't misread that.
The bill, which is similar to laws passed in seven other states, requires women to undergo an ultrasound procedure before an abortion is performed. The ultrasound is not medically necessary; it has not even been rationalized as such by the bill's defenders. It is simply another tactic adopted by anti-abortion crusaders to humiliate women, in the hopes that they may change their mind about going through with the procedure.
But since most abortions are performed in the first trimester, and abdominal ultrasounds are not able to produce a clear image of the fetus in most cases, Virgina's law mandates the use of transvaginal ultrasound – that is, a probe must be inserted in the women's vagina to view the fetus. Women cannot refuse this if they want to get an abortion, and the law does not allow for any exceptions such as rape or to protect the woman's health.
I can't even imagine what a rape victim who has become pregnant might think of this, after having already been violated once, and then being told by arrogant politicians that she must be violated again in order to undergo a legal medical procedure. It also forces her doctor to perform a procedure that is not medically necessary, and violates their oath not to cause harm to their patient. As one Virginia House Delegate pointed out, the bill may actually require doctors to sexually assault their patients, as it is a crime to vaginally penetrate women with any object without their consent. (To add insult to injury, the woman must also pay for this state-mandated procedure. Where's Obamacare when you need it?)
It's not even cognizant of the doctor-patient relationship that is generally so well-respected – except when women's medical choices are involved. Then it's absolutely imperative that the government asserts jurisdiction over a women's vagina, to ensure she's actually making the best medical decisions for herself. It's not just humiliating; it is paternalistic in its very worst sense.
Note that I haven't even addressed the issue of abortion itself. That is because regardless of where one stands on abortion – if one considers it murder, or the right of a woman to make decisions regarding her own property (i.e., her body) – this intrusion by the state into private medical affairs, which would not be tolerated under virtually any other circumstances, is simply not justifiable. And perhaps anti-abortion crusaders are aware of that, and are adopting these tactics to set up a constitutional challenge that leads to a Supreme Court review of Roe v. Wade, hopefully this time to overturn it for good.
Regardless of the anti-abortion camp's motives, their degrading and humiliating tactics are despicable.

Kelly -- back in session on the docket today Colorado massacre suspect James Holmes.
There is speculation that Holmes who is suspected of committing one of the worst mass shootings in US history.
May try to use the insanity defense when he goes to trial.
Did you see is behavior today in court.
But the police suggesting that homes planned this massacre well in advance.
And with former teachers and classmates saying that he was at the top of his graduate neural science class some are questioning whether that argument.
Really stands a chance.
Joining me now Fox News legal analyst -- -- and former prosecutor now defense attorney mark I Clark now thank you so much for being here so.
I think I mean.
What else is he going to use as his defense right I mean that I think it's doesn't take a genius to predict he's gonna go with the insanity defense.
Police juries don't like -- no but sometimes it works John Hinckley junior comes to mind.
Yes Andrea Yates and her second trial you know the mother that killed -- -- children her five children very methodically.
Up and yes you're right this is grasping at straws for the defense they really have nothing else it was clear he was there.
You know he told me he told the cops that you know about his apartment as they have all the evidence against him as they say they do -- Well that's going to be is only really racked up that's what you gotta do that here's what the defense what -- -- -- -- that -- gonna say look.
Insanity defense at least get death and get the death penalty off the table prosecutor if you will -- I as a prosecutor wouldn't take that but that's I think what mark would argue.
Marquee they're gonna have to prove it if you was assert the insanity defense.
You're arguing that he did not know right from wrong at the time he committed the acts and then it becomes the State's burden to prove.
That he did.
How hard is right for our prosecutor under circumstances like this where most people look at -- diocese clearly knots.
Right well let me first and one part to the test.
They have to prove the defense does that he suffered from a mental defect or disease and from that.
He did not know right from wrong that's the first that does -- suffer from that will today's.
Indication at court seems to help -- now now that prosecutors will point to the very extraordinary facts in this case.
But the fact that he took the time to Wear protective armor to protect -- pride -- his knee cap his neck.
His head and then that he had the presence of mind to know that when his.
His shotgun no longer will can could pump -- bill bullets and kill innocent people to move to the assault weapon and when that -- to move onto a Glock.
All those things plus the booby trapping plus a lot more indicates he knew right from.
I had to prove he knew right from wrong -- doesn't that or does that prove that he's -- -- this -- this is a methodical thinker maybe he's gonna say he thought as reports are that he was the Joker.
And that -- was alive battle that he had to win.
It -- just because he was sure -- protective of himself doesn't mean he's not.
And same exactly but but but making that put things together here you can put them -- -- meticulous planning as mark -- -- talking about how he bought these things how he would cut the protected as an end and I like -- let me finish my point.
This is my point because here's what I really think kill them for the insanity defense when he says to the officers when he is arrested.
Oh my apartment it's booby trapped -- for some reason it until they open it that shows he knew right from wrong.
I don't see it I really don't see it I mean I I don't I think juries don't like insanity defense is but I don't see how any of those items get.
The prosecution over the hump right here and if you are the defense -- use that kind of imagery to say he was normal and then his twenties came around this happens so often with with young men and schizophrenia -- and whatever it.
-- -- but I from the prosecutor make and I also say look he's Smart he's -- like a fox he knows he can use these things he's probably research I wouldn't be surprised if there's some research even on the insanity defense.
On his computer when the cops go through his computer that he knows -- she has all these things in line that that's it that's argument he can make he didn't know Megan when he went into that theater whether he was going to liver dot.
But if he's so Smart I'll -- he thought through an insanity defense because there is no other defense -- that.
Is he he is said to be so so clever mark you know I mean -- Ph.D.
student studying -- science.
Although he was dropping out leader which may also be consistent with the onset of mental illness who knows.
But could he be clever -- enough to be laying the foundation for an insanity defense.
The answer is yes of course everybody knows that he has that ability but this'll come down to what the experts say.
You know if the defense doesn't like what the first -- -- to say they'll be another one lining up to say for sure who in the right mind would do this.
Well nobody would so there's something wrong with them they need to keep that first threshold and that is that he's got the mental illness has got some mental defects.
And then they're gonna try to find some way did -- know right from wrong but here's the big issue Megan.
There's not a jury in this land is gonna buy this argument so all this becomes mitigate or so when that same jury.
Then here's the sentencing phase assuming they seek death they're gonna say all well all that then plays into why we should spare his fly -- What about want to get to.
Whether it you know what what Roger is likely to do because again John Hinckley shot our president heat heat it worked for him that -- -- drill hole.
We did that standard -- we get to that let me asking me what is up with the -- Roland maybe he was on it was medicated.
And it was drugs but in court he could live and -- couldn't get his eyes open.
He kept looking off it was bizarre to watch right could this have been an act and what are what are -- -- that they medicated him in the jail -- over the weekend vote.
Both medication and -- both put together and of course he's been traumatized I mean you just.
Killed a bunch of people so yes he's been traumatized but that does not mean he's legally insane and again the standard has changed since the -- house up as Catholic well it before -- -- you didn't -- you have to -- more than just between knowing whether you knew right from wrong now because of the Hinckley case now it's to Kenya formed the intent.
Candy for me -- -- due to mental disease -- is back and did you know right from wrong that's all the prosecution has to prove.
Market you know -- -- how do you go about figuring out I mean even though everybody wants justice and you look at him and you that you don't want mercy.
Some people are insane some people really are insane and some people don't understand right from wrong how do you go about you know you have the -- of the experts for once -- -- on the other.
Getting to what's true.
Well you leave it in the hands of twelve people that's for 200 years how we've decided things and they're gonna decide.
And they can still make the finding that he suffered and still does from -- from mental illness that he is on medication.
But at the time it takes so very little there's numerous facts that I've alluded to it.
Many more that we're gonna uncover which showed that even though he may have suffered from mental illness and that's still a question mark.
That he knew legally right -- wrong our prisons are packed with people who have mental illness.
Means that it -- in Colorado it's not one of those states that has an option of guilty.
But insane -- like we've seen elsewhere so that jury could say he is insane.
And so he goes to the asylum but then when he gets better -- he goes right to -- NG direct -- -- he if he were found.
Not guilty by reason of insanity it would truly be you go to today insane you know I'm using the -- -- and -- -- mental health institute and -- if -- -- -- -- again you get.
-- right right.
And I think it jury's gonna know that I mean they can't know and -- in the first phase that -- know the sentencing.
But they would know that when it came to sentencing whether or not he would be getting out and and jurors are going to be -- research that I mean that we told not to but they will they're gonna know that if they acquit.
That's that he could be in their first three months or six months and say it -- while law I'm now not insane and I'm out market for LA -- that.
The prosecution hasn't made a decision yet on death penalty whether this will be a death penalty case or not.
Do you think that this discussion about his mental state will affect that decision.
Now I think they're gonna seek -- there's since 1976 they've only actually put one person to death in Colorado that was fifteen years ago there's only three people on death row but if there's ever -- case that cries out -- assuming we're going to be using this law.
This appears to be it.
Yeah I don't to the prosecutors taking the death penalty off the table and the defense is gonna come in and argue insanity that's -- one thing they have to argue but I just -- -- the prosecutor.
Couldn't inning that they've got a good deal with the people in Colorado Uga can you imagine being the prosecutors -- -- I just took a death off the table I don't see that happening now.
Panel good discussion thank you both so much you got it makes me.

Although it has only increased the number of miles driven by 30% during the past five years, SCAT has been able to increase passenger fare collection by 88% over that same time period, while its fuel costs jumped 286%.
Since 2004, SCAT has slowly added to the number of vehicles it has in service and the number of miles it drives.
It operated 86 vehicles in 2004. That number rose to 107 vehicles in 2008. The number of miles driven in that same period jumped from 3.7 million to 4.8 million. And, in the last five years, fuel-and-lubricant costs went from $62,822 to $2.4 million — a 286% rise.
SCAT attributes the rise in fuel costs to the explosion in fuel prices during the past few years and the addition of Sunday and late-evening bus service in 2008.
Even with the rapid rise in collections, passenger fares offset only a small fraction of SCAT's annual operating budget. Passenger fares totaled $3.1 million in 2008. SCAT's budget that same year was $21 million.
County tax dollars pay the majority of that budget. According to SCAT General Manager Anthony Beckford, roughly 70% of funding comes from Sarasota County, the federal government provides 20% and 10% comes from the state.
Beckford said public transit's goal is not to be fully self-sustaining on the money it collects from the fare box. In fact, SCAT's goal is just to earn 14% of the cost of a route through fares it collects. In 2008, fares accounted for about 12% of SCAT's operating costs.
Of the 32 public transportation systems in Florida, Beckford said most generate 10% to 12% of their operating costs through fares, so SCAT is now at the high end of the state-transit systems.
But federal and state governments set higher goals.
The federal government requires public-transportation systems to generate 20% of their operating costs through fare collection; the state requires 25%.
When asked what happens if those goals aren't reached, Beckford said "nothing, really." Both threaten to take funds away, but Beckford said they've never done it, and he doesn't anticipate it happening.

Undergraduate Student Learning Outcomes
As a result of undergraduate studies in Animal Science, students will gain knowledge and experiences that will:
- help them to understand a complex world in the form of a basic understanding in Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics.
- give students a broad perspective of domestic animals from their pets at home to the livestock and poultry species that provide a majority of the protein in the human diet.
- gain knowledge on the complexities of how the basic sciences relate to the production of animal food products, such as meat, milk and eggs.
- give students an understanding of the similarities and differences of the production of the major animal commodities, and help them to understand how animal production methods have evolved.
- give students an appreciation of the basic and applied scientific disciplines of, Nutrition, Physiology, Genetics, and Behavior and how they relate to domestic animal management and production.
- appreciate the complexities of animal production and its relationship to the ethics of the modern world.
There are two paths one can take to get a degree in Animal Sciences. The Pre-Vet Med / Science Option is designed for students who are pursuing a degree with the intent to move on toward vet school or other graduate-level coursework. The Animal Management Option is geared more toward students wanting to graduate with a bachelor's degree and move into industry-level positions. However, students may still apply for graduate school with the Animal Management Option (just not vet school). Neither degree is necessarily "better" than the other, and they do share many similarities. Please discuss both options with your advisor to select which may be right for you.
Advising check-off sheets for undergraduate majors and options:

I got myself two sets . one for my workshop and the other one to take along when playing etc. The quality of the bits is very nice . It replaces alot of tools and I use it more and more. Maybe it would be nice to develop a bigger size set for other operations . Congrats to Stewmac !!
I love how small and compact this kit is. It will fit in your pocket, gig bag, guitar case, toolbox, etc. It has all the bits you need for most applications. The screwdriver itself is plastic though. Still works well but a metal handled driver would have given it a 5 star review.
Real tool for real luthiers!!! Respect!
Don't get me wrong, this is as well made as anything StewMac sells, and the case in particular is a cunning piece of work, but to tell the truth, I'm kinda sorry I bought it. There just isn't anything in it that I don't have already (except the screw taps, I guess that's a plus) in a more convenient form. I mostly keep it with my gigging gear now, but I don't really need everything in there for that. It's not a cheap kit, so be sure you know how you want to use it before you pony up.
Este set de herramientas es muy practico y de excelente calidad. Cabe en el bolsillo de una camisa!!!! Tiene todas las puntas y otros accesorios necesarios para trabajar en una guitarra. LO RECOMIENDO AL 100%
The case is attractive and well-made. The set includes an assortment of small bits that are likely to be needed while installing tuners,etc.... However, the set is missing the bit with the lobes on each corner. Phillips heads are unsatisfactory for these types of screws. Also, the set is not magnetized, which would be handy for small work. Last, the set seems somewhat over priced.
Yes, this is it! The screwdriver set I seem to have been looking for all my life for work on electric guitars. Now I pick it up on every electric I work on, and I use it from beginning to end. It fits my hand great, and does everything I need. How can you say more than that?
I was excited to receive that set. The box is really well made and durable. The bits are great and precise. Two downsides: 1/ the srewdriver handle in itself is pretty light and poor quality which is really surprising considering the overall good quality of the set Maybe it is durable, but I've only been using for less than a month. 2/ The octagonal part of the bit isn't standard size: you can not use normal spare bits with the screwdriver handle. For those 2 reasons, I give it a 4/5.
Very high quality, and a great mixture of tools to work on a guitar. I've only had it for one week and I assembled a guitar kit, and I'm surprised how many of the bits I've already used - 4 of the phillips bits, the awl, 3 of the screw starters, 2 flat blade bits and 2 allen bits. Plus the small handle is good for compact spaces and it helps to prevent over-tightening tiny screws.
great kit for the road. a little difficult to get tips out with my calesed fingers, but it has everything i need.i used the center punch, and the screw starters to put a pick guard on my frankinstrat. and used pickguard screws from my schaller kit.

Every fall, the Fort Lewis College Environmental Center works with local Durangoans to collect and harvest apples in the region. This year, they collaborated with local ice creamery Cream Bean Berry to create apple ice cream!
There are good things growing on campus. And you can see some of that goodness just north of the Center of Southwest Studies. There, you'll find a quarter-acre garden offering up a widely varied harvest of home-grown organic bounty. There is also a three-season greenhouse, several hoop houses and cold frames, a compost facility, and a 100-tree dwarf apple orchard nearby.
What do you get when you put a professor and seven students on a 55-foot houseboat on Utah's Lake Powell to pick up trash for five days? You get good times, great exploring, some personal mentoring, and lots of deeper understanding of topics such as environmental science and cultural resource management. Oh, and cleaner public lands.
Current can be a good thing – especially when you're traveling more than 400 miles and descending some 10,000 feet down your favorite rivers. That's the journey documented in The Current, a feature-length film shot and produced by two FLC students who wanted to find out what rivers mean to them, while at the same time seeing for themselves the condition of two of their favorite rivers – the Animas River, which flows past Fort Lewis College, and the San Juan River downstream of its confluence with the Animas.
When students learn, everyone benefits. And at Fort Lewis College, those benefits can be found every Thursday from spring to fall under the Clocktower in the center of campus. That's when students who have been studying and practicing organic growing techniques bring the fruits -- and vegetables and meats -- of their labor to campus for sale at the open-air Old Fort Farm Stand.
The foods are grown and raised at the Old Fort, the site of Fort Lewis College before it moved to Durango in 1956. The property 15 miles west of Durango was home to the original military Fort Lewis and an Indian boarding school, before becoming state property and the home of the school that eventually grew into Fort Lewis College.

I'm in a 10-team league, standing scoring, with a new draft format. Owners get to choose their draft position and I have the second choice. What spot would you pick? BTW, QBs get 4 points per TD reception, so I'm not thinking QB in the first round. I really like Foster and McCoy, but if I take the 1 or 2 picks, I will have to wait until the end of the second round for my next pick. My draft is Monday night, BTW. Thanks! - jeff1961 on Aug 31
I'd would want the highest possible pick. The workhorse running back market is very thin this season and since QBs only get 4 pts/TD, there's not added pressure to land one in the first round. Foster, McCoy and Rice are my top three picks in order.

Electronics recycler meets quality, environmental, health and safety criteria set forth by the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries.
The electronics recycling facility operated by Ecovery, LLC in Loxley, Ala., received the Recycling Industry Operating Standard (RIOS) certification on Jan. 24.
The company specializes in mechanical de-manufacturing and separation of electronic and non-ferrous scrap. In addition to processing, the company is the exclusive licensed representative for Guidetti, Lyndex, SCS, and KM — four of the most recognized and respected names in the European recycling equipment industry. Ecovery, LLC operates out of a 70,000-square-foot facility processing 2.5 million pounds per month of electronics and non-ferrous scrap.
The company became certified by an accredited third-party auditor at its Loxley facility after the auditor verified all RIOS requirements with ISRI. According to Director of Commodities Brock Norris, the company's managers and consultants worked to design and implement a RIOS management system that involved training and other aspects to meet RIOS standards.
"We are excited to join the 21 facilities who are RIOS-certified worldwide. Ecovery recognizes that the responsibility for quality, environment, health and safety are shared, requiring cooperation not only between employees and supervisors, but among and between all those who assume the various roles within the company," Norris said.
RIOS is a system designed and overseen by the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. to help recycling companies manage the quality, environmental, and health & safety issues of their operations.

WHAT THEY SOUND LIKE: http://soundcloud.com/bretonlabs/sets WHAT THEIR AMAZING VIDEOS LOOK LIKE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_tFjQIC63Q WHY YOU SHOULDN'T MISS OUT: Before joining the Fat Cat roster, the band, a fiercely independent D.I.Y. unit released three critically acclaimed EPs - the first a one-sided, hand-etched limited run of only 15 transparent ten-inch records; the second another handmade venture, a limited release of only 50 CDs which were accompanied with parts and instructions for a synthesiser; and the third, a 12" on Hemlock Recordings, the label responsible for pioneering releases by Fantastic Mr Fox, Mount Kimbie and James Blake. Their much-anticipated live shows sees them shrouded in black hoods manipulating guitars, bass, synths, drums and laptops to create a truly original melee incorporating hip-hop, electronica, cinematic soundscapes. Onstage, they are lit only by the glow of their emphatic self-shot visuals, cut and edited live, in real-time by their touring fifth member. _________________________________________________________________ Brace yourself for a multimedia Massive Attack of inscrutability from this band of musicians and award-winning indie film-makers - Guardian Band of the day _________________________________________________________________ "Edward the Confessor" is regarded as one of Breton's favorite tracks to perform live, however, I would be remiss in saying that the song itself, though an intellectually exciting menagerie of math-rock, indie hip hop, dubstep, and electro, is but one part of their larger agenda.- KEXP Song of the Day _________________________________________________________________ Breton are a peculiarly modern proposition. They didn't start out as a band but swerved into it when they began producing live soundtracks to their films. That this 'art collective,' incubated in south London's makeshift spaces – all sketchy car parks and vibrant experimentation – should turn out a debut as casually brilliant as 'Other People's Problems' is not surprising in itself. But that it should sound so vital, kind of is. That sound you hear, by the way, is a million dole-queue guitar bands slipping from the ledge of impotence into the abyss of irrelevance. This outsider, multimedia-led perspective, rather than affording them a mannered distance, has resulted in a bold, promiscuous approach to art-rock, reminiscent of the auteurism of These New Puritans or the uncompromising intelligence of Foals. Opener 'Pacemaker' begins with a field recording of rolling stock, before segueing into a violin arrangement by German composer Hauschka – commissioned specially by Breton, apparently – which is then cut up, sampled and mixed up with a scuzzy, overdriven hip-hop beat. As openers go, it exemplifies the wealth of ideas that power the band like a batch of military-strength amphetamines. - NME TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE AND YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS OPENERS YPPAH AND JONTI.

About The Artist
The Set List
Wanna take a Ride with Martina McBride? Soundcheck drives to Nashville, Tennessee for a live preview of the country superstar's tenth studio album, 'Shine.' The singer has confessed to a fresh surge of creativity of late, and she proves it with five show-stopping new songs. Check out our set with Martina and a room full of fans and go pick a copy of her new album, 'Shine' online and in Walmart stores nationwide!
-The Crew at Walmart Soundcheck
On Rediscovering Inspiration:
"The inspiration is the same as it's always been for me, which is just to find the best songs I can find and make an album that has a lot of emotion. 'Shine' is a word that's very prominent in two of the songs, 'Ride' and a song called 'I Just Call You Mine.' I love the word; I think it's powerful, I think it's strong and positive. With this new record I feel like I found a whole new creativity, a whole new inspiration. I have it back. I felt so inspired when I was making this record."
On Keeping It Fresh:
"I worked with Dan Huff on this record. The first time I've worked with him as a producer. I've known him forever, and he's played guitar on all my records, but this was the first time working with him as a producer. I think that, that was part of me being so inspired. We all get in our little comfort zone working with the same people. To get out of that comfort zone a little bit and work with someone brand new and in an entirely different zone is exciting. It was exciting again to make music!"
On Self Esteem:
"It helps when you know yourself and you have a strong sense of who you are. Everybody has an opinion and everybody tries to tell you what they think you should do, what you should wear, what you should be like. You just really have to stick to your guns and follow your instincts. You know what's right for you. At the end of the day, that's what comes through to the fans. When you are being honest and real and not trying to be something that someone is trying to create for you."
Did You Know?
• She's a Leo. Martina Maria Schiff was born July 29, 1966 in Medicine Lodge, Kansas.
• She's a mom. Martina has been married to John McBride since 1988. The couple have three daughters: Delaney, Emma and Ava Rose.
• She was exposed to country music at an early age. At the tender age of eight, Martina began performing onstage in her father's band, The Schiffters.
• She's a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Martina was inducted into the prestigious Opry as its 72nd regular member in 1995. Country legend Loretta Lynn introduced Martina.
• She's a producer! Martina co-produced her tenth studio album, 'Shine.' Pick up a copy online and in Walmart stores nationwide!
Wrong Baby Wrong
The lead-off track from 'Shine' is a bluesy affair that showcases Martina's love for rock and some formidable air guitar skills. It's a tune reminiscent of early Pat Benatar, one of Martina's heroes. If love is a battlefield, Martina has some advice for brokenhearted soldiers: "It won't be long 'til you find somebody new. Everyone falls down now and then. But if you think you'll never move on… you're wrong baby, wrong."
Walk Away
Clearly the fan favorite of her set, 'Walk Away' is a blistering new ballad about the difficulties in saying goodbye. Anyone who's ever been in a challenging relationship will appreciate this bittersweet kiss-off - a poetic request for emotional release. Sings Martina: "I can read your mind right now. You want me to stick around. Let me go. Let me walk away…"
The first single from Martina's latest album, 'Shine' is a rollercoaster ride that dips through pop, rock and classic country influences. Written by Nashville scribes Michael Davey, Andrew Dorff and Chris Robbins, 'Ride' is about the ups and downs of life. Sings the ever-optimistic Martina: "Laugh... even when you want to cry. Faith is believing you can close your eyes and touch the sky!"
Sunny Side Up
"Sometimes you have to just wake up in the morning and choose to be happy!" So proclaims Martina before launching into this feel-good cut from the new disc, 'Shine.' 'Sunny Side Up' is Martina's prescription to a forecast of difficult times: "Look at all we have. Maybe it ain't so bad. You're looking at a girl who's looking at the world sunny side up!"
I Just Call You Mine
"This is one of the most beautiful love songs that I've heard in a long time. And I always like to include at least one sappy love song!" Martina introduces her last song of the set, and it's clearly dedicated to her husband of 21 years, sound engineer John McBride. Sings Martina: "You're a standing ovation after years of waiting for a chance to finally shine. Everyone calls you amazing. I just call you mine."

We exist to encourage & equip our family of independent churches to thrive, impacting our nation with the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In this unit, we look at the roles that are taken when working with young people. We focus on what those working with young people actually do, starting with some analysis of roles. We show that, in the context of work with young people, the term is more than simply a statement about who does what: it also says something about the kinds of relationships we form with young people and the values we bring to our work. We then move on to discuss roles in relation to the 'bigger picture' of organ

Hey everyone, this is my first instructable, and i would like to share with you, how to make this Moresque inspired Lamp.
As the most of the instructables stuff, this project is :
- Easy to make, no special skills needed.
- Looks good
- Costs virtually nothing ! ( will looks great with cardboard )
and the i tried to make something original
searching on the internet i found this website : http://www.storeystreet.com/smlglobe.html
selling this nice looking lamp, so i wanted to make something similar ! ..
For those who are lucky enough to have a laser cutter, there is an advantage, for me, i cannot afford one, so i will use the traditional way !
The lamp can be made with any material, cardboard, aluminum, plastic, plywood .. you choose your material and color, the principle is the same.
For me i will use plywood with a 3 mm thickness for this project.
This is my first instructable i will try to do my best explaining things, if something is unclear bear with me, and feel free to ask :-)
Step 1: The design
So what way my inspiration ? ...... Traveling to southern spain and morocco, you will be amazed by the old mosaic, i was always fascinated by these , drawing them all the times, a quick search on the internet i found the patterns ( just search in google for : "arabic patterns" or something like this )
this website was too informativ too :
( pic's from google !)
I won't go in details into the design of the lamp since it is not an instructables of how to design the lamp, but I used 3ds max to model the sphere and texture it .. to see how it is going to turn out, when it is done, i tried to copy the model on paper, and some adjustments, here and there it worked out
1-40 of 68 | Next » |
Look forward to the new design.
so intricate and beautiful. You sure could sell these! How do you change the bulb? By undoing a brad to reach in?
I'm a little confused. You refer to "Stars", "Triangles" and what I'll call "Connectors".
I looked at the pdf and I see there are 24 stars, 12 triangles and 16 Connectors.
When I look at the photos, you say there is 8 of these connectors that make up the center "skeleton". Attached to that are Stars and triangles. The photo looks like there are 5 additional connectors used to form the upper bowl shape.
If I saw that correctly, then there should be a total of 18 Connectors, right?
(8 for the skeleton, 4 to connect the loop of Stars and Triangles and then 1 connector to close the bowl shape. Which would mean I would need another 5 for the lower bowl shape)
Can you please help me out and explain.
I have also recently taken to using Ponoko to get things cut from various different materials using a laser cutter...will certainly be more expensive than doing it yourself...but an awful lot less hassle! Thankyou for the great instructable!
Thanks for this great design! =)
What a beautiful instructable. Thanks,
I am bothering you because you said, "on the internet i found patterns, and some mathematical models for making a spehere out of the pattern." Can you please lead me to the website where these can be found?
Much obliged.

Have you ever tried on a pair of shoes and thought, "wow, my feet are SO happy!"
That exact experience happened to me yesterday when I tried on a pair of
New Balance WT10 Minimus trail runner
These are THE most comfortable shoes I have EVER tried on.
They are perfectly snug on my instep and heel.
The toe box was wide enough that my toes can splay out and not feel constricted.
They are super light,
and… unbelievably flexible.
I was surprised just how confortable they are AND how great they look, too.
In my mind… They are a fitness shoe home-run!
I am going to order a pair today and I will do a follow up post as soon as I
receive them and get to try them out on the trails.
But first, I need your help deciding.
I can't choose between the black with blue, the gray (both pictured above) or the black and pink (below)
Okay, so I have had these trainers for almost a week now and I am IN LOVE!
When you put these on, they just envelop your feet and are SO comfortable.
They are snug in the mid-step and heel while the toebox
is roomy and piggy friendly.
I purchased the gray and black and they go with everything.
They are very flexible and airy.
I have not had a chance to run trails in them yet, so I will update this post again at that point
to let you know how they feel out on the trail.
Stay tuned!
