"Step Into History, The Carl J. McEwen Historic Village," a 12-minute video produced by the Mint Hill Historical Society, earned statewide recognition last month, winning a Paul Green Multimedia Award from the North Carolina Society of Historians.
It started with a need to take something to schools and other organizations, to show them what the Historical Society and the Historic Village had to offer.
With a matching grant of $2,500 from the Arts and Science Council, work was underway, with Historical Society co-founder Carol Timblin writing and producing, and member Larry Ferguson serving as director and videographer.
The video took over a year to complete, receiving the grant in July, and presenting the finished product to the people of Mint Hill the next October.
With Ferguson photographing and videotaping events like Christmas Tea and the farmer's market as they happened, the video started to come together.
The narrator, Sam McGee, was chosen for his "mature southern voice," as Timblin put it, and original music was performed by Trent Moody, of The Moody Brothers, and is a driving force in the video.
"I would take some video over to him and let himlookatitandgeta feel for it, describe where we wanted it to go, and he would pull down a banjo or a mandolin or a guitar or a base and played all these things," Ferguson said.
Mixing was done in 18-hour marathon at Richard Putnam's Big Feat Studios in Shelby.
"I think it would stand up well on some PBS programming and local stations," Ferguson said. "Again, we were doing things without a high budget, but it's professionally done, I think you could say that, and we're happy with the way it came out."
Part of the grant was a public presentation of the video, which came in October of 2011, a screening on a 24-foot inflatable screen at the Town Hall.
"I just didn't think the quality of the video was going to hold up at all, but it was digital by that point, and so it really looked good." Ferguson said.
The application for the award was sent in, and after a long silence, some good news.
"We didn't hear from them forever, and I figured we didn't get it," Timblin said. "And then all of a sudden, they got a letter in the office that said we had won."

Looking for a 10-inch tablet that isn't the ever-popular iPad? Can't decide between Android and Windows? ViewSonic has you covered with the ViewPad 10pro, a tablet that runs both Windows and Android.
The ViewPad 10pro is also one of the first tablets to hit the market using Intel's Oak Trail CPU instead of the popular Nvidia Tegra 2. No doubt that's sot eh tablet will run Windows 7 since that OS doesn't support ARM until the next version. With the ViewPad 10pro you get everything you'd expect from a Windows 7 tablet with 2GB of RAM and either 16GB or 32GB of storage space. You also get something you wouldn't normally expect from Windows: Android. The ViewPad 10pro features not only Windows, but also Android .23 Gingerbread. The Android OS will run as an application on top of Windows, so it's not exactly dual-booting, but it's better than nothing, right?
ViewSonic is claiming that the ViewPad10pro will get up to 8 hours of battery life, which seems like a lot considering it's running Windows. It will probably decrease a lot when you're watching HD video, outputting that video via the HDMI port, or Skyping using the 1.3MP front-facing camera. But really, the battery could be surprising. If you want to try it out, or if you just really want a Windows tablet that also runs Android you can get one starting at $599. That version have 16GB of storage and Windows 7 Home premium. There's also an option for 32GB and Windows 7 Professional for $699. Should you want it, there's also a custom docking station for $59.

Therapeutic Synergies in the Fight Against Cancer
Surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are the mainstays of oncology, composing most of the firstline standard of care for virtually all cancers. As newer strategies are introduced into the therapeutic arsenal, particularly for earlier stages of disease, they are almost always tested in addition to, rather than instead of, the standard of care. Not only are these newer strategies proving effective in combination with the older methods, but surprisingly strong synergies are emerging among them. Several CCR investigators are finding ways to exploit these synergies for the benefit of patients.
Vaccine Trials and Tribulations
"Cancer vaccines have had a hard time over the last several years," remarked James Hodge, Ph.D., Senior Scientist in the Laboratory of Tumor Immunology and Biology. Hodge described a series of failed Phase 3 clinical trials for cancer vaccines as monotherapies against late-stage disease that forced companies like Cell Genesys and Therion Biologics out of business. One reason these trials failed, Hodge believes, is that cancer vaccines are probably least effective as a last resort against late-stage disease. Studies have shown that the immune response is blunted in patients that have recently undergone chemotherapy or have had several courses of chemotherapy prior to receiving a vaccine.
As the safety of cancer vaccines has been established over time, however, clinical researchers have been able to administer vaccines to patients closer to the time of diagnosis. In such patients, where a clear standard of care exists, the natural strategy is to test a new therapy in combination with existing care. But first, the safety of any novel combination must be established in preclinical models.
James Hodge, Ph.D. (Photo: R. Baer)
"Combining radiation and vaccine therapy in our preclinical models was a real eye-opener," said Hodge. He and his colleagues designed an experiment in which the vaccine was essentially set up to fail on its own—they injected tumor cells into a mouse engineered to express the human tumor antigens targeted by the vaccine and then withheld the treatment until eight days later. As expected, neither vaccine alone nor radiation therapy alone was sufficient to reduce the large tumor burden achieved in the meantime. However, in those mice given a combination of radiation and vaccine, 60 percent were cured outright. "That's something we hardly ever see in preclinical models," said Hodge. "And it was all we needed to move forward into the clinic."
Radiation and Immunotherapy—The Theory
Radiation works by producing cellular damage that evokes programmed cell death. "The oxidizing radicals damage cancer cells, but also the normal tissues as well," explained Aradhana Kaushal, M.D., Staff Clinician in the Radiation Oncology Branch. "The idea is that the normal cells can repair themselves, but of course they are affected by radiation too, which is why we see side effects." Radiation oncologists work on trying to limit the effects of radiation to cancer cells, whether by physically constricting the beam of radiation to focus on a tumor mass or by co-administering compounds that will either enhance the vulnerability of tumors or reduce the vulnerability of healthy cells (see "Radiating Change," CCR connections 3(1)).
Cancer vaccines work by training the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. Cancer cells have distinct molecular markers—antigens—that, when processed by specialized antigen-presenting cells (APCs), help the immune system to recognize and target the cells bearing them for destruction by cytotoxic T cells. APCs are drawn to diseased or damaged cells because the cells give off stress signals that let the system know that they need to be cleared away. It makes sense, therefore, that levels of radiation that may not be sufficient to kill cancer cells outright might be sufficient to boost signs of stress and disease that the immune system can recognize.
Chemotherapy and immunotherapy can also have synergistic effects.
James Gulley, M.D., Ph.D., Head of the Clinical Trials Group in the Laboratory of Tumor Immunology and Biology, is enthusiastic about a trial he is currently running to combine vaccine therapy with a form of radiation therapy in patients with metastatic prostate cancer who have run out of proven therapeutic options. The radiation, in this case, is coming not from an external beam but from a compound, samarium-153, that contains a short-lived isotope.
Samarium-153 is not very effective in killing tumor cells. Instead, it is given to patients to ease the pain of metastatic bone cancer. The drug accumulates in areas of the bone that contain cancer and provides pain relief. Hodge has done the preclinical studies, demonstrating that the radiation delivered by samarium-153 has a similar immune-boosting effect as beam radiation in a cell culture model. Gulley is taking the work into the clinic, comparing tumor progression in patients who receive samarium-153 with or without their prostate cancer vaccine. "I am really quite intrigued by the results so far," Gulley said, cautioning however that the data are not yet mature for his randomized Phase 2 trial.
Timing Is Everything
Chemotherapy is a blunt instrument, killing any cell that is dividing rapidly, including cells of the immune system. And unlike radiation, it is seldom focused on a particular tumor or organ and thus usually also disrupts the immune system. But Gulley and Hodge are finding that, if delivered correctly, chemotherapy and immunotherapy can also have synergistic effects.
A strong hint on the importance of timing in vaccine trials came from the results of a human trial in which patients with prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy were initially given either of two treatments—an experimental prostate cancer vaccine or an FDA-approved androgen receptor antagonist, nilutamide. Untreated, these patients would likely develop metastases within a year. Neither treatment improved the odds much: patients who were randomized to receive the vaccine alone progressed similarly to those who received the nilutamide. "However, the interesting thing was that after six months, patients who had rising PSA [prostate-specific antigen] levels but no metastases visible on scans could add in the other treatment," explained Gulley. Surprisingly, the patients that started out on vaccine first and then added nilutamide after six months had much slower disease progression and actually lived longer.

9. Glen Taylor: Suspended from NBA in 2000
Prior to his 1994 purchase of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Glen Taylor was a Minnesota state Senator from 1981 to 1990. In 2000, he came under scrutiny for a violation of the NBA's salary cap. It was determined that a deal between the team (mainly orchestrated by then executive Kevin McHale) and forward Joe Smith went against salary cap rules. Essentially the contract involved Smith signing multiple one-year deals with the team for less than his value, in exchange for a more lucrative and lengthy contract for the 2001/2002 season. At the end of the 99/00 season, the contract was voided and while little happened to McHale for his part in the agreement, Taylor was suspended for the year and Minnesota lost several draft picks and $3.5 million. While this is the story reported by the news networks at the time, I'm skeptical. I mean, a former politician involved in shady business dealings? There must be some mistake.

Engineer-turned-composer Roger Reynolds is organized yet highly adventurous
Roger Reynolds, composer
Age: 76
Education: University of Michigan, bachelor's degrees in engineering physics and music; master's degree in music
Professional: University of California San Diego faculty since 1969 (University Professor since 2010, at which time he was asked to inaugurate a new Arts Program for the University of California's Washington Center)
Achievements: More than 100 compositions, including commissions from Lincoln Center, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the San Diego Symphony, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the BBC Proms Festival (London), the British Arts Council, the French Ministry of Culture, Ircam (Paris), Suntory Hall (Tokyo), among many others. Residencies at the University of Illinois, Brooklyn College of CUNY, Yale University, the Sibelius Academy, Amherst College, Arisotle University (Thessaloniki), and the Beijing National Conservatory. Numerous recordings, including "Whispers Out of Time," which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1989. Three books, including "Mind Models" and "Form and Method," as well as numerous journal articles. The Library of Congress established the Roger Reynolds Special Collection of his work in 1998.
Personal: Lives in Del Mar with his wife, flutist Karen Reynolds. They have one grown daughter, Erika, a psychiatrist living in Carlsbad.
It didn't happen often, but occasionally Roger Reynolds' father, an architect, would take him to the job site, where something he had designed was being built. "And he would say, 'You've got to get it right,' " Reynolds recalled. " 'Because if you don't get it right, the building falls down.' "
That lesson, and the necessity of having a plan, stuck with Reynolds, first as an engineering student, then as an engineer, and finally as a groundbreaking composer whose music has earned recognition from the National Institute of Arts and Letters, the Library of Congress, Columbia University (which awarded him the Pulitzer Prize in 1989) and the University of California (whose regents named him a University Professor in 2010, the first time an artist has been recognized with the highest rank in the UC system).
More important, his numerous and astonishingly diverse compositions are regularly performed throughout the world, from London's Royal Albert Hall to Los Angeles' Disney Hall. Earlier this month, cellist Anssi Kartunen premiered his "Mystery Variations" at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, and in March, guitarist Pablo Gomez Cano and computer musician Jaime Oliver will perform his "Dream Mirror" at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. Cano and Oliver joined Reynolds at UCSD last weekend to record it for eventual CD release.
As someone who came to music relatively late, Reynolds has more than made up for lost time.
"I was 25 before I wrote my first piece," Reynolds said. "And it was not a very successful piece. But what I realize now is that I was using the advantages that I had from my father and from my engineering training: the idea of planning ahead, of creating in a certain sense an opportunity that was already satisfying in its shape, and then filling that opportunity with musical material."
As to the precise composition of that material, Reynolds has written numerous articles and several books. One theorist discussing his adventuresome work talks about " 'constellations' or aggregates (of pitches) that evolve in their textural density and are modulated and projected through a foreground of kaleidoscopically shifting sonorities." But in the most basic terms, Reynolds refers to it as exercising his sensibility.
"I don't know whether psychologically and developmentally that's an appropriate word, but by sensibility I mean the things which attract you. There are things that if you say: Do you prefer this or that? Usually you know, I prefer that. Actually, to me, composing is very much an almost unending series of such choices: Would you rather do this or that? I'd rather do that."

Dr. Bhandal's state-of-the-art, in-office Power Bleaching system will make your teeth whiter in less than 1.5 hours. Another option is our at home teeth whitening kit that you take with you for results in 2 weeks. You can also consider a combination program of both systems for optimal, long-term results. Call today to learn more about what teeth whitening can do for you.
Crowns and Veneers
You can have a new smile with all-porcelain crowns (impressed material) on the anterior teeth. For the posterior, we use porcelain fused to metal.
- Resin : Tooth-colored fillings that are light cures to match your teeth.
- Amalgam: Silver-colored fillings, more durable material.
Root Canal Therapy
When major problems arise with your teeth then sometimes there is no alternative but to do root canal treatment. During this procedure we make sure you are made as comfortable as possible. Depending on the level of the problem you have, there are several types of root canal therapy that can be performed. Read More
Periodontal Treatment
You should have a standard cleaning at least twice a year. If it has been over a year since your last cleaning, possible treatment will include either Periodontal Scaling (deeper) or Root Planning and Scaling (requires anaesthetic).
Mouth Guards
Whether you are an athlete or a casual sports participant, you should wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth. If you grind your teeth while you sleep, a bite guard will help to reduce the symptoms of TMJ. We custom make mouth guards in both soft and hard materials.
Dental Emergencies
Sometimes an emergency arises where you require immediate dental work. Dr. Bhandal & Associates offers emergency dental treatment specifically for this reason. If you are in need of emergency dental care, call immediately!
Removable Dental Prosthesis
If you are missing teeth, we can make dentures or removable partials for you. This will help recreate that amazing smile with no gaps and restore your confidence.
Wisdom Teeth Surgery
In many cases, wisdom teeth extraction may be required for wisdom teeth that do not grow in properly, have a proper bite relationship, or have unhealthy gum tissue around them - which may cause wisdom teeth pain. Often, wisdom teeth improperly erupt or become impacted. If you have any of these wisdom teeth symptoms you may require wisdom teeth removal surgery. Read More...
A multitude of circumstances can cause teeth to become crooked including thumb-sucking or a traumatic injury that will cause you to require braces. Read More
Teeth Jewelry
We now offer teeth jewellery. Unlike piercing or tattoos, dental teeth jewellery can be simply taken off or altered by a dentist without damaging your teeth. Whether looking for a single tooth jewel, or many tooth jewels, we offer all kinds of tooth jewelry.
Our dentists also provide orthodontic services and treatment for problems like tooth and jaw alignment.
A full list of the services that we off can be found here
Book an appointment
We are ready to take your call now for appointments, including Sunday and emergency dental, at any of our locations that suit you. We are eager to help you with things you may need to know especially if it's your first time with a dentist in Brampton, Woodbridge or Etobicoke. You may also ask us about braces, teeth whitening, dental implants, root canal therapy, emergency dentist and wisdom teeth surgery when you phone in.

Trying to get relief staff in place for the bowl trip and was wondering when an official announcement would be made. I assume it will be after all the Championship games are played Saturday. Will it be made late Saturday, Sunday, or even possibly on Monday? Can't remember in 2009 what was done, hoping someone could shed a little light.
I would assume Sunday afternoon or night.

Yep it usually gets announced like late Sunday afternoon it seems like in the past.

ESPN will have its College Football Bowl Selections Special at 8 PM CT. They'll have BCS Selection show at 7.15 PM CT but I guess the first 30-35 mins, they'll talk about who will have to face LSU etc with the actual announcement takes in les than 5 minutes

My Cloud NAS work seamlessly with Apple Time Machine right out of the box for quick and easy backup of all your Mac computers.
RAID 0 - Speed
RAID 0 mode provides disk striping across all drives in the RAID drive group. RAID 0 does not provide data redundancy but does provide the best performance of any RAID levels. RAID 0 breaks up data into smaller segments and stripes the data segments across each drive in the drive group.
RAID 1 - Data protection
Set the system to data protection mode (also known as mirrored mode or RAID 1) and the capacity is divided in half. Half of the capacity is used to store your data and half is used for a duplicate copy. If one drive goes down your data is protected because it's duplicated.
RAID 5 - Data protection and speed (available on 4-bay NAS)
In systems with three or more drives we recommend that you set the system to RAID 5. This gives you the best of both worlds: fast performance by striping data across all drives; data protection by dedicating a quarter of each drive to fault tolerance leaving three quarters of the system capacity available for data storage.
RAID 10 or RAID 1+0 - High reliability with high performance (available on 4-bay NAS)
RAID 10 delivers very high I/O rates by striping RAID 1 (mirrored) segments. This RAID mode is good for business critical database management solutions that require maximum performance and high fault tolerance. A system set to RAID 10 yields half the total capacity of all the drives in the array.
JBOD & spanning
JBOD is the use of one or more drives not in a RAID configuration but managed as separate logical volumes. Spanning is the combination of drives in a linear fashion to create one large logical volume. The advantage of using this mode is that you can add more drive without having to reformat the system.
User management/group management
With My Cloud Expert Series, it is easy to grant users access to the NAS, create groups and give access to those groups, and manage the amount of storage users/groups have access to.
Microsoft Active Directory support

Connect My Cloud Expert Series NAS to a Microsoft Windows server to organize many distributed SMB file shares into a DFS for improved data availability in the event of failure or heavy workloads.
Manage storage over long distances and transfer data over LANs, WANs or the Internet by creating a Storage Area Network (SAN). My Cloud Expert Series NAS allow you to create and manage iSCSI targets, similar to a local hard drive, that is accessed over a network rather than locally. The iSCSI target is protected by the underlying RAID structure of the My Cloud Expert Series NAS.
Jumbo frame support
My Cloud Expert Series support jumbo frames up to 9000 bytes. These large IP frames are used to increase performance over supported networks. Increases in data transfer speeds only occur if every device on your network supports jumbo frames.
Combine multiple network connections to increase data transfer past a single connection and provide redundancy in the event of a failed connection. This is also known as bonding, and refers to the use of two LAN NICs present in your NAS and two cables connected to your router simultaneously, improving reliability.
iPv6 ready
My Cloud Expert Series support iPv6, keeping your NAS up-to-date with the latest Internet Protocol.
UPS support (USB and network)
USB UPS: A supported UPS device that is connected to a My Cloud Expert Series NAS via USB cable can detect a power loss and gracefully shut down power.
Network UPS: Network UPS devices can be used when there is a single UPS device and multiple My Cloud Business Series units. One My Cloud Expert Series NAS can act as a "Network UPS server" and connect to the UPS device via USB or network (depending on the device).

Low-cost or Free Dental Care
|See Also
My brother has been on disability for the past couple of years. He's just been told that he needs ''deep tissue cleaning'' of his gums, which will cost $600-$1,000. He can't afford this and MediCal no longer covers dental work (MediCare doesn't cover it either as far as I can tell). I've checked the archives, but a lot of in the information there is several years old. Can anyone recommend a place in the greater Bay Area where my brother can get dental treatment at a minimum cost? Thank you.
i recently went to a new dentist, Dr Razavi in Emeryville, and she told me i have to get two root canals (or they might just need crowns), in addition to a deep cleaning. all of this is so expensive i don't know if i can afford it, even with Delta Dental. i was about to schedule the first root cancal/crown (i was thinking i'd do one this year and one next year b/c of deductible) and just wanted to first check and see if anyone knew of any dentists that offer lower-cost work or take payment plans...or even dentists they love for this kind of work, because if i'm going to pay these thousands of dollars i want to be sure i'm getting good care, and i didn't get a great feeling about Dr. Razavi. basically, any advice about this is much appreciated. (i checked the archives and called the UCSF dentistry school, and they don't do crowns; and Lifelong doesn't do root canals or crowns.) thanks.
My husband had a root canal and his crown (or whatever they fill it up with) came off leaving a hole in the middle of his tooth. It painful and more and more off the tooth keeps chipping off. The problem is he has no medical or dental insurance (and we can't afford to go to my dentist and pay out of pocket) Does anyone have any ideas of where we may look or what we should do? I know the berkeley free clinic had some sort of lottery, but he works everyday and cant take the day off if he doesnt even know that he will bE seen. any advice would be helpful. thank you. without a dentist
I had extensive work done there years ago, and what would have cost me thousands only cost a few hundred.
I also once went to the dental school clinic, which was closer to downtown and I don't remember name/where. THat was GREAT. Also only paid for materials, but these were graduated DDS's who were doing 2 years of clnic before starting work in the real world. You also have to reserve a chunk of time, same as above.
Good luck. owner of $20,000 mouth
Option A: Western Dental in Downtown Berkeley, a block from the Downtown Berkeley BART station. - They also have offices all over from the East Bay to Contra Costa County, etc.
The staff were reasonable, offered low-cost emergency dental care/repair and same day appointments. They also offer low-cost comprehensive dental plans.
Their service was fine, and while the Berkeley office had a range of patients which led to a concern that I would be lost in the shuffle. Yet I wasn't and was pleasantly surprised at the care I received. The dentist and staff were attentive and we weighed the options for repair. They were also very attentive to my concerns about having a TMJ problem and my ability to keep my jaw open for an extended problem. I may not want to have ALL of my dental work done there, as I am most comfortable with holistic dentists who also do accupuncture (GREAT for TMJ issues). Yet overall it solved the problem and I would go back if I needed to.
Option B (I used to work for Alameda County in the Dental Clinic):
For Adults: ACMC (Alameda County Medical Center) offers a Drop-In Dental Clinic and Oral Surgery Clinic at Highland Hospital in Oakland. Services include: -Emergency Dentistry (temporary fillings, repair of crowns and bridges, palliative emergency treatment, pulpotomy) -Emergency Surgery (for injuries and painful infections requiring immediate care) -Diagnostic/ Preventative Care (exam, x-rays, fluoride topical applications, sealants, cleanings and hygiene oral care) -Restorative Care (fillings, removable and fixed prosthetics, root canals and periodontal maintenance) -Special needs dental care (For individuals with developmental disabilities) -Cosmetic Dentistry (teeth whitening) Days: Monday to Friday Time: Drop-In registration, 7:00 am to 1:00 pm. Clinic operates 7:30 am to 5:00 pm Location: Highland Hospital [map]. Register at the counter on the first floor of the Vallecito building. Then proceed to the Dental Clinic on the second floor of E-Wing, a short walk away from the registration area. To Make an Appointment: No appointment needed for initial visit--use the Drop-In registration. If you require follow-up dental care after your drop-in visit, the clinic staff will give you an appointment. To cancel or change a follow-up appointment, call (510) 437-4473. Note: If this is your first visit, you may have to see a financial counselor, even if you have already been through financial counseling in a Medicine clinic. They can tell you how to go about doing this, so allow time for this if you go. Costs for services are based on abilty to pay & insurance/lack thereof. You can recieve emergency dental care without having to pay a deposit also. Their website is: http://www.acmedctr.org/dental_care.cfm?M1=2&M2=0&M3=0&P=220Hope this helps! Maya
My daughter has to have some oral surgery done to remove some extra teeth, a little more complicated than just wisdom teeth. Our dental insurance is not covering this procedure. We were referred to a highly compentent practice who I believe can do a great job, but then someone suggested I try calling the school of dentistry in SF. There costs are 40% cheaper than the quote I received from our referral. I was assured it would be a resident and not a student who does the surgery. I am wondering if anyone has had any oral surgery experience with their children or themselves at the Pacific School of Dentistry in Pacific Heights. K
I like my dentist, but he charges $1000/tooth to do cosmetic dentistry, which is not covered by my insurance. He recommends and I would like to get a veneer for the top lateral incisor (small tooth next to the central incisors) to make it similar in size and lineup to the teeth on either side. This is probably the easiest cosmetic procedure you could have. I can't justify paying that amount of money for it. Any recommendations? Mary Ann
I am a Cal student and need to have dental work done, but I have no dental insurance. Please recommend a caring, excellent, reasonable dentist.
If you did opt out of SHIP, the above web page suggests an alternate insurance plan, but it doesn't seem like an especially good deal to me. David
About a year ago my wisdom teeth started coming in, and have since really started to give me quite a bit of pain. Also, recently my gums started bleeding when I was brushing my teeth, which I do twice a day as well as flossing once. I am a student and I don't have dental insurance. Are there any resources that I can look into for low cost dental care? I am getting really worried.
Free Dental Screening Date: Tuesday, April 27th, 2004 from 5:30-7:30pm
Free Dental Screening Site: UCSF Dental clinic, 2nd Floor (707 Parnassus, cross street is 4th Avenue.)
UOP Dental CLinic http://www.dental.uop.edu/
Clinica La Raza also has a dental component. Check here: http://www.laclinica.org/services_dental.html
RE: low-cost dentist
Try the UCSF School of Dentistry: 415-476-3276
They apparently do very good work.

Soak: What have you soaked in this year? (Baths, sun, ideas?) How did it affect your mentality?
In 2012, I soaked in a more positive outlook on life. I'm sure you've noticed in my posts if you've been following along with this month's prompts, but I've been kind of gushing about my life lately. I didn't always feel this way, and I didn't always feel as sunny as I do now about my life, but this year, I learned to soak in moments and appreciate them for what they are.
Appreciating moments for what they are has completely changed my mindset. Instead of always expecting perfection, I am now content to sit back and enjoy the moment for all of the emotions that it gives me, even if not all of them are happy emotions.
For example, on our Ireland vacation, just about everything that could go wrong did go wrong. We got lost coming right out of the rental car parking lot, we got a flat tire on the side of the road and had to change to the spare, then switch out the rental car.
This photo was taken right after we got a flat tire. We changed it, laughed about it, went to the Blarney Stone and moved on with our lives instead of worrying about logistics.
My greatest fears were realized by the terrifyingly narrow roads that had me convinced of my death at every turn, and then we took a wrong turn and the road gave away beneath the car and we nearly got stuck in a cow pasture.
I was terrified of the roads. Like, worst nightmare of my life terrified. They were narrow, steep and were on the edges of cliffs. I felt constant anxiety about the roads, but still soaked in the views because I didn't want my fear to get in the way of my enjoyment of the beautiful landscape.
I didn't want any of the amazing moments we experienced to be marred by a silly hang-up or something that we may laugh about or even forget at a later time.
Then I fell down some stairs and sprained my ankle, causing us to miss out on certain stops on the trip, especially when our timing was thrown off by my trip to the ER and then how much I had been slowed down by the crutches they gave me.
Here I am, mortified and in an insane amount of pain from falling and spraining my ankle. All I could think about was "I can't let this stop me from doing the amazing things we came here to do." And for the most part, I didn't.
The trip was far from perfect, but I felt alive and happy (except for the terrifying bits in the car. I'd take a million sprained ankles over those roads again). Looking through our photos in Ireland, I looked happier than on any other trip we took this year. I was just so happy to have the opportunity to travel. I knew that it was coming to an end and I needed to appreciate moments for what they were instead of lament them for what they could have been or should have been.
It made all of the difference in the world.
I probably should have stayed off of my ankle and rested, but doctor's tips be damned! I'll see Dublin even if it kills me!
So. Sexy.
The last photo we took in Dublin. I was still happy and smiling. Even with a busted ankle and whatever it was that was going on with my bangs (it was raining).
When I think back to my first European trip in 2009, by the third day I was grumpy and jetlagged and tired and hungry and just not having it. I acted like a tired, spoiled brat. On our last trip to Ireland, my whole mindset had changed and no matter how bad things got, I just felt lucky and alive and amazed at the opportunity to experience more of the world.
I soaked in a sunnier disposition. I soaked in a new perspective. I can't say that I'm still perfect about this because many times, positivity and optimism do not come naturally to me. But when it comes to travel, I have vowed to soak in each moment, as imperfect as they may be because they help define who I am in less-than-ideal circumstances. These moments also make a hell of a good story later. 😉

The Renaissance Rock Orchestra is a classical prog rock group. Our music blends classical & symphonic elements into hard rock and metal. RRO music often includes performances by well known rock star guest artists.
On our new release "The White Gate Trilogy EP" we feature world class talent including Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist from Heart, Howard Leese, the wondrous vocals of Robin McAuley ( MSG/Survivor), powerhouse drummer Brent Fitz (Slash/Alice Cooper), monster drummer Brian Tichy ( Whitesnake/Foreigner/Billy Idol), Queensryche drummer Scott Rockenfield and master guitarist George Lynch ( Dokken/Lynch Mob).
In RRO powerful keyboards are surrounded and supported by heavy rock guitars and drums. The music and its lyrical content are a humanistic revival of intellectual & artistic themes expressed vigorously at times through powerful and complex rock arrangements augmented with full string orchestration and at other times in beautiful and dreamy piano passages.
"All ye who enter here be of pure heart and ye shall fly to heaven on wings of sound" – The White Gate Trilogy
"The White Gate Trilogy" EP is an introduction to The Renaissance Rock Orchestra but is also designed for the discerning neo-classical/prog rock affecianado. The "Trilogy" refers to the first 3 songs, each an instrumental, which together encompass and create "The White Gate Trilogy", a stepping off point for the future musical direction of this epic prog rock orchestra.
RRO is the brainchild of keyboardist Gregg Fox and includes well known Las Vegas musicians bassist Michael "Bones" Gerbino who has toured with Vince Neil and Rob Halford and guitarist Elvis Lederer from the Criss Angel Show "Believe" and The Blue Man Group.
We are excited about the response and feedback this orchestra is receiving from audiences worldwide and we look to the future with huge vision and great anticipation.

"There are a lot of bad republicans; there are no good democrats."Ann Coulter In today's climate of hyper-partisanship, blurred lines between political news, analysis, and entertainment, and outrageous comments from the chattering classes, who better than Tom Patterson to provide students with the tools and context to make informed judgments and become skilled political thinkers? Patterson'sThe American Democracyhas long been a best seller for American government courses due to its insightful, readable, and balanced portrayal of the American political system. The 10th edition continues this tradition of excellence while also introducing a new emphasis on political thinking at a time when the partisan divide seemingly could not be wider and unbiased political information is often drowned out by other sources. With expertise in the areas of public opinion, the media, and elections among other areas, Tom Patterson is a voice you can trust to help develop your students critical thinking skills when it comes to politics and political science. As Patterson notes, "Political thinking takes place within the context of a person's political interests and values, which can lead equally thoughtful individuals to reach opposing opinions on the same issue." If you are looking for learning materials to help ensure your students leave your course among those "thoughtful individuals" that will carry the debate forward in measured and informed ways,The American Democracyis the right choice for you.

Seminar Descriptions
Placing Knowledge:
Museums, Universities and the City in the Nineteenth Century
Bruce Robertson, Department of History of Art and Architecture, University of California, Santa Barbara
Consider Michael Faraday, the discoverer of the fundamental laws of electromagnetic induction, who established the validity of his experiments by performing them before a paying audience in London in the 1830s. Or Sir Thomas Huxley, popularly known as "Darwin's bulldog" and the leading evolutionary scientist after Darwin, who worked in a college housed in a museum and never held a university professorship. Or William Whewell, the Cambridge geologist who invented the term "scientist," which he modeled on the word "artist" in response to a challenge from the poet Coleridge in June 1833. Knowledge production, so comfortably centered for us in university today, inhabited a very different world in the nineteenth century.
This seminar will examine the material relations between civic museums and universities as they develop in the nineteenth century, and their relationship to the production of modern academic disciplines. My goal is to look at the nature of knowledge production, how it is placed both physically and institutionally, how it assumes its modern shape. Two questions will be our concern: First, how did museums compete successfully with universities as the location for the development of modern academic disciplines, and how did they lose this role by the end of the nineteenth century? Second, how is knowledge production located physically, within structures and within the urban fabric? What are the material, spatial and urban dimensions of knowledge production?
In 1800 only a few European capitals had public museums; by 1900 even provincial towns boasted them, along with universities, academies, learned societies and other knowledge production sites. Historians have tended to look at these phenomena separately. Intellectual historians and historians of science have studied the development of academic disciplines as social or intellectual phenomena; urban historians have focused on the expansion of urban amenities in terms of transportation and sewer infrastructure, leisure sites and public housing. Historians of universities have not considered competing knowledge sites, and historians of museums have divided themselves between historians of natural history museums and art museums. We will consider the ways in which physical constraints and opportunities shaped these inter-related phenomena, a concern most naturally sited in museum studies and urban planning. The material discussed will focus on London as the primary case study.
Bruce Robertson is Professor of Art History and Architecture at the University of California, Santa Barbara, as well as the Director of UCSB's Art, Design & Architecture Museum. His wide-ranging publications include Sargent and Italy (Princeton, 2003); Ruth Harriet Louise and Hollywood Glamour Photography (with Robert Dance; UC Press, 2002); Twentieth Century American Art: The Ebsworth Collection (National Gallery of Art, 2000); Picturing Old New England: Image and Memory (contributor; Yale, 1999); Marguerite Makes a Book (Getty, 1999); Marsden Hartley (Abrams, 1995); Reckoning with Winslow Homer: His Late Paintings and their Influence (Indiana UP, 1990); Views and Visions: American Landscape before 1830 (in collaboration with Edward Nygren, 1987), which won the first Charles Eldredge Prize of the National Museum of American Art (now SAAM); and The Art of Paul Sandby (Yale, 1985).
Literature of the Mind
Julie Carlson and Kay Young, Department of English, University of California, Santa Barbara
Kay Young and Julie Carlson will present chapters and lead a seminar on how the various mind disciplines of philosophy, psychology, psychoanalysis, and cognitive neuroscience think about literature, narrative, and symbolic processes in their accounts of mind. They will consider as evidence somatic and linguistic representations that register and help humans to analyze unconscious processes. Professor Carlson will be presenting part of her work on books and friends in post-1790s British radical culture. She will focus on new philosophical conceptions of books as better friends than the persons charged with educating the rising generation, arguing that this was central to writers' pursuit of justice and applicable to contemporary debates regarding the ethics of care. Kay Young will present work from her current project on the narrative aesthetics of mind that focuses on representations of object relations and transformations in both nineteenth-century literature and psychoanalytic cases as evidence for how the human mind uses objects to imagine change. Janis Caldwell will consider "Emotion and Evidence" as she thinks about the metaphors of distance and detachment that have accompanied the development of forensic science. She will reflect on the range of psychological engagement in forensic narratives, from the friendships of investigational partners to the attitude toward the corpse or missing object in the case.
Julie Carlson is professor of English and member of the Literature and the Mind concentration at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is the author of In the Theatre of Romanticism: Coleridge, Nationalism, Women (Cambridge, 1994), England's First Family of Writers: Mary Wollstonecraft, William Godwin, Mary Shelley (Johns Hopkins, 2004), guest-editor of Domestic/Tragedy (SAQ, 1997), and co-editor with Elisabeth Weber of Speaking about Torture (Fordham, 2012). She is the recipient of the 2010 Keats-Shelley Association of America's Distinguished Scholar award, and currently is working on a book on friends and books in post-1790s British radical culture.
Kay Young is professor of English and Comparative Literature at UCSB. She recently completed a 5-year Academic Fellowship at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles. She is the author of Ordinary Pleasures: Couples, Conversation, and Comedy and, most recently, Imagining Minds: the NeuroAesthetics of Austen, Eliot, and Hardy. Currently, she is working on a collection of essays on object relations and transformations and the narrative aesthetics of mind.
Ruling the world?
Egyptomania and Imperialism in Two Constitutional Monarchies, Britain and Belgium, 1850 to 1900
Debora Silverman, Department of History and Art History, University of California, Los Angeles
Debora Silverman will present some of her new research on British and Belgian Egyptomania after 1850, highlighting the ways that two limited constitutional monarchies adapted Pharonic forms and fantasies for distinctive national purposes. This material grows out a book she is now completing on Belgian "imperial modernism" in the 1890s, Art Nouveau as a "Style Congo," and the cultural history of violence in 19th century Belgium and its relationship to patterns of violence in The Congo Free State (1885-1908).
Debora L. Silverman is Distinguished Professor of History and Art History at UCLA where she has taught since 1981. Professor Silverman is the author of Selling Culture: Bloomingdale's, Diana Vreeland, and the New Aristocracy of Taste in Reagan's America (Pantheon, 1986); Art Nouveau in Fin-de-Siècle France: Politics, Psychology and Style (University of California Press, 1989); and Van Gogh and Gauguin: The Search for Sacred Art (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2000), awarded the 2001 PEN America/Architectural Digest Prize for outstanding writing on the visual arts as well as the Emerson national Prize for the Humanities. She has recently published "Marketing Thanatos: Damien Hirst's Heart of Darkness," American Imago vol. 68, Fall 2011, 391-424; and a three part series of articles on Belgian art nouveau, stylistics of violence, and the Tervuren Museum called "Art of Darkness, Art Nouveau: African Lineages of Belgian Modernism, Parts I, II, II, in West 86th: A Journal of Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture, 2011-2013, which workshop participants may want to consult.
Forgiving Fictions: Law, Feminism, and the Problem of the Victorian Novel – or, what would Anthony Trollope do?
Hilary M. Schor, Departments of English, Comparative Literature, Gender Studies and Law, University of Southern California
In the middle of Can You Forgive Her?, Anthony Trollope's 1864 novel and the first of the Palliser series, Lady Glencora and her cousin Alice Vavasor walk through Gothic ruins in the night air, much to the horror of Cora's husband, Plantagenet Palliser, the "prime minister" of subsequent volumes and the voice of liberal rectitude. Only Alice, the putatively unforgiveable heroine of the novel, is blamed for their night rambles– even though the women have neither seen a ghost, committed adultery, nor even caught a cold. But apologize she must – and forgive her, we do.
I raise this comic gothic scene not only to highlight a tiny moment of transgression, regret and forgiveness in the novel, but to ask what the role of the law is for feminist readers of 19th century novels. My argument is that far from rendering the law a purely specular phantom, the Victorian novel takes law seriously: that while critics, anti-nomians all, dismiss the law as mere obstruction or spurn it as discipline all the way down, Victorian novelists saw in law a force for transformation, not only through political reform and the gradual widening of a domain of rights, but as a way of negotiating complicated human relationships – as much a weapon of desire as a formal device. This is particularly vivid in the relationship of the novel to feminism. The larger project of which this is a part engages the origins of contemporary "law and literature" readings of Victorian fiction by taking up the relationship between radical and liberal feminists and their debates over marriage, contract and consent – and then returning those questions of feminist theory to "reading for the law" in fiction. This leads me, however peversely, to take seriously the fictional, world-making possibilities of legal fictions, in particular the way that novelists stage the heroines' thorny progress through the haunted landscape of the marriage plot by way of a series of complicated legal negotiations.
Thus is is that although the heroine who eponymously needs our forgiveness, Alice, is in no way involved in the law (her "crime" is jilting her fiancé, but it is doubly not a crime – there is no legal structure in which a man could sue for breach of promise, and her fiancé simply refuses to acknowledge her breaking off of the engagement), I read Trollope's novel as entangled in legal questions that continue to haunt feminism and the law today: what is the status of female consent; what kind of contract is a marriage contract; and what does it mean to offer, to receive, or even to reject forgiveness, whether within the formal structures of law or in the most intimate (or ghostly) of settings? Against our own expectations that the law can do nothing for us but get out of the way as soon as possible, repeatedly it turns out that the heroine's progress towards freedom leads through rather than away from the law; that the law becomes a weapon in her, and the novelist's hands. And in this way, the Victorian novel transforms itself into a how-to book of legal fictions, one that allows readers not only to forgive the unforgiveable, but to imagine a domain in which women in particular learn how to remake the world through the law.

More than 20 Los Angeles detectives are hunting for two men who grabbed a 10-year-old girl from her bedroom before dawn and held her for nearly 12 hours before dropping her off at a hospital near her San Fernando Valley home, police said.
More than 20 Los Angeles detectives are hunting for two men who grabbed a 10-year-old girl from her bedroom before dawn and held her for nearly 12 hours before dropping her off at a hospital near her San Fernando Valley home, police said.
LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith asked for the public's help in finding the men Thursday, saying they believe strangers took the girl to several locations in different cars.
The girl was found with cuts and bruises on her face and told police she did not know the men, Smith said.
She had been awake for much of her ordeal and has been resting at home and is going to be re-interviewed by detectives later Thursday, he said.

Meanwhile, police were canvassing the area's prolific number of surveillance cameras, checking local registered sex offenders, and digging into any possible clues related to the girl's family, acquaintances and Internet contacts.
While parents should be cautious, there are no other serial kidnappings in Los Angeles and such kidnappings are exceedingly rare in the United States.
"Right now we're looking at this as an abduction, a stranger abduction, one of those things that's very, very rare in this country but does happen," Smith said.
Police said one of the men was about 18 years old but they released no description of the other.
At the hospital where she had been treated, the girl told investigators the men held her for nine or 10 hours, police Capt. William Hayes said.
Police believe two vehicles were involved in the abduction and officers have recovered one of them, Hayes said. Investigators have cordoned off several crime scenes including houses and a storage facility in the investigation and manhunt.
"We have a 10-year-old girl that's been traumatized here. She was forcibly taken from her home," Hayes said. "If these individuals are brazen enough to do that, I'm putting all the resources I have to make sure they don't do it again."
The girl's parents reported her missing just before 4 a.m. More than 11 hours later, someone who recognized her from media reports spotted her outside a Starbucks shop and summoned police officers who happened to be nearby, police Capt. Kris Pitcher said at an earlier news conference.
Police later learned the girl had been dropped off at a hospital a few blocks away and had wandered to the area around the coffee shop, Hayes said.
The girl was wearing an oversized white T-shirt and was barefoot when she was found.
Her parents reported that she had been wearing a black T-shirt emblazoned with characters from the TV show "Heroes" when they last saw her in her bedroom shortly after midnight, police spokesman Richard French said. When they checked on her a few hours later, she was gone.
There were no clear signs of forced entry into the house, Hayes said, but a gate outside that had been closed was left open and investigators believe the men somehow made their way in through the back of the house.
Police released the girl's name, description and a photo in an urgent campaign seeking the public's help in spotting the child with distinctive long red hair. After she was found, police asked media to stop using the name and photo.
Smith said the request came "due to the confidentiality of her being a juvenile and her being the victim of a serious crime," and at the request of her parents.

Behind the Scenes of Howl with Eric Drooker
By Allison McCarthy on August 26, 2010 11:41 AM
If you haven't already heard about Howl, listen up. Directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman have just finished a movie version of Allen Ginsberg's famously epic poem. The movie, part live action drama—starring James Franco, Jon Hamm and Mary-Louise Parker—and part animation hits theaters September 24 and is going to be big. Simultaneously, Harper Collins is publishing a graphic novel of renowned artist Eric Drooker's animation from the film. We had the honor of sitting down with the painter, New Yorker cover illustrator and Berkeley resident to learn more about this gargantuan project.

Society of Homeopaths and PSA accreditation
The Society of Homeopaths has achieved PSA accreditation. Andy Lewis explains at:
This accreditation purely about being competent to keep a registrar. It is not about efficacy of homeopathy. But Andy is right. Perception is everything, and the public need to be made more fully aware that homeopathy is junk (that placebo is at play), and that PSA accreditation actually has no bearing whatsoever with regard to medical treatments.
Victor Stenger – January 29, 1935 – August 27, 2014
Sad news of the death of Victor Stenger.
- Victor Stenger, Physicist and Prolific Atheist Author, is Dead at 79
He was a big influence on me, particularly with respect to clarifying that science is a methodology of explaining observations, an explanation of reality through analysis of evidence, and that this encompasses all phenomena whatever their classification, be they so-called "supernatural" phenomena or other. In order words, the concept of "non overlapping magistaria" is a pile of crock.
Stenger's book "God: The Failed Hypothesis" is one of those books that everyone should. A real classic.
