Ford Performance Racing is on top of the V8 Supercar Championship Series team points after a determined performance from drivers and crew in Hamilton, New Zealand this weekend.
Steve Richards led the point scoring with two second places in today's racing. He had to fight for both results after starting from third in this morning's first race and losing a spot to James Courtney off the grid in the day's second.
Pit strategy played a crucial part, with Rick Kelly's team gifting the FPR driver second place in race two by dropping a wheel during his stop. Race three was not so straightforward, however, as Richo emerged from the pit lane wheel to wheel with Courtney on lap 12. Richo won the ensuing drag race to take his third podium of the weekend and finish the round second overall.
Mark Winterbottom continued his steady progress up the order after some bad luck in qualifying saw him start from 13th. In today's first race he made short work of Will Davison off the grid after getting caught behind him yesterday. He and Fabian Coulthard were then dueling for much of the race before Frosty made the decisive move three laps from the chequered flag to finish seventh. In race three he again put in a tenacious drive to rise up to fifth.
The next V8 Supercar Championship Series round is at Perth on 11 May.
Steve Richards #6 Castrol FPR Falcon
"We made a change for the last race and it definitely hurt the car a little bit. Our race pace was as good as Garth's in the late stages but early on the car was bouncing about on the bumps a little bit and I was struggling to keep up.
"I'm absolutely rapped for the team; we've taken a big step forward in terms of our championship chase. We've survived a pretty fraught start to the year so that's a great result and all the accolades should go to the crew.
"In terms of myself, expectations were that I would actually be a bit further up the championship ladder by now but we're definitely getting on top of the little issues we've had and it's getting better and better and I'm getting more and more confident."
Mark Winterbottom #5 Orrcon Ford Credit FPR Falcon
"We had a bit of bad luck this weekend with the qualifying but we raced hard; that's what you do! We're now only 100 points off the drivers' championship lead as opposed to 150 and Richo has jumped to sixth overall so, all in all, you can't really complain too much.
"It's a shame we didn't qualify at the front because we could have come away second in the points but you don't always have great weekends. Some other teams have had a disastrous time here so 190 points isn't that bad really!"

I had a mini tummy tuck in 06 after my 1st child. I thought I was done w kids bc it was a difficult pregnancy. I was not happy w the results. I had lumps, a flat, stretched out belly button, and my scar was MUCH higher than was agreed upon pre-op. I had little tags of skin sticking out of the scar. My dr couldn't care less post op & was very rude. I moved on. I remarried and had another baby in 2010, then developed an incarcerated umbilical hernia in 2011. Baby #3 came after that. Now what?

Am I a Candidate for Tummy Tuck Revision?
Garrett A. Wirth, MD, MS, FACS
A full tummy tuck after a mini tummy tuck
I am very, very selective about doing mini tummy tucks because it has been my experience (after 22+ years in practice) that minis often do not stand the test of time and age. I have had several of my mini patients come back after 5, 10 even 15 years requesting further surgery and I have had no trouble doing a full tummy tuck on them. In contrast, I have never had a full tummy tuck patient come back needing more tightening.
Make sure you are done with babies! You won't want to go through it three times!

A full tummy tuck is likely what would provide the best result
Thank you for the question. Only a small segment of women are candidates for a mini tummy tuck. Most women who have had children are much better served by a full tummy tuck. Without photos or an examination I cannot provide more certain recommendation but I suspect a full tummy tuck will likely be your best option.
All the best,
Dr Remus Repta

Without photos the answers will all be of moderate value to you.
I am sorry for the outcome you had. Sometimes for a full tummy tuck there may be a reason to have an incision that is higher than ideal, but not so for a mini-TT. Good to have moved on!
Although you don't comment on what has changed with the pregnancies, I will assume you have some loose skin that need to be addressed. Now, think about getting a consultation, be sure to express the issues that you had and have. Your surgeon should be able to commit to an incision line, and at least express things that might occur in surgery that could change plans.
Thanks for your question, best wishes.
Abdominoplasty revisions
It sounds like you have several things going on. First of all, you didn't love the result of your first surgery. This alone may have been reason for revision.
Now that you have had two more kids, it sounds like there may be even more of a reason. You may need a full abdominoplasty instead of a mini one to achieve your desires.
I would suggest meeting with several board certified plastic surgeons, reading reviews about them to see if their patients have complaints like you do about your previous surgeon, and getting opinions in person about all of your options
Certainly many ladies end up having revisions of abdominoplasty after child birth.
Good luck!

WASHINGTON (Jun. 18)
The United States will not agree to screen out Jews from American units assigned to Saudi Arabia, it was indicated here today in official circles. Such a position, it was pointed out, might mean the end of the Saudi-American defense training cooperation in view of a statement issued here today by the Saudi Embassy that care would be taken to ban all Jews in the future from entering Saudi Arabia.
The Embassy formally denied a U. S. Defense Department statement that Jews in the American Armed Forces have been allowed to enter Saudi Arabia. R. L. Gilpatrick, Deputy Defense Secretary, recently made known in a letter made public by Rep. Emanuel Celler, New York Democrat, that some U. S. units scheduled for a training exercise in Saudi Arabia "do include personnel of the Jewish faith."
The Defense Department said today that an advance party of these units was in Saudi Arabia but that it could not immediately determine if any Jews were in it. Saudi Arabia has desired the Saudi-American defense training cooperation to strengthen itself against threats from Egypt.

Speak Out in Favor of Merit Selection as It's Put to Vote
A resolution has passed both houses of our legislature that will put a proposed constitutional amendment, addressing how appellate level judges are selected, on the ballot in November 2014. The proposed amendment will read in part as follows:
Judges of the Supreme Court or any intermediate appellate court shall be appointed for a full term or to fill a vacancy by and at the discretion of the governor; shall be confirmed by the Legislature; and thereafter, shall be elected in a retention election by the qualified voters of the state. Confirmation by default occurs if the Legislature fails to reject an appointee within sixty calendar days of either the date of appointment, if made during the annual legislative session, or the convening date of the next annual legislative session, if made out of session. The Legislature is authorized to prescribe such provisions as may be necessary to carry out Sections two and three of this article.
In November 2014, Tennesseans will vote on the proposed amendment. In order for it to pass, it must receive at least the number of votes equal to 50 percent of those voting in the governor's race plus one additional vote.
Based on discussions I have had with lawyers in a variety of settings, there is general confusion about what this proposed amendment does and does not do. For example, a recent Tennessean editorial stated that "the Tennessee General Assembly has initiated the process for a constitutional amendment that would make it clear our current process is constitutional." In the same editorial, the writer later referred to the proposed amendment as a "modification of the current system." Confused?
The proposed amendment does not make it clear that our "current" process, which I wrote about in the September 2012 President's Perspective, is constitutional. While the proposed amendment maintains yes-no retention elections for Supreme Court justices and intermediate appellate level judges, the resemblance to our current system ends there. A drastic change will take place if the amendment passes — the independent nominating commission that screens judicial candidates and then submits three names to the governor from which he selects one to fill a vacancy will be eliminated. Instead the proposed amendment contains the language "at the discretion of the governor," which takes independent merit selection out of the equation for selecting all appellate level judges. The current merit-based selection system is replaced with a system where merit selection is removed in favor of the governor appointing judges who are then confirmed by both houses of the legislature. While the proposed amendment does not address what would happen with trial court vacancies between elections, the current merit selection process is used for filling those vacancies. It would be up to the legislature to determine what process would be used when filling vacancies between elections for trial court judges.
The legislative purpose and intent behind our current method of judicial selection, as found in Tenn. Code Ann. 17-4-101, is to assist the governor in finding and appointing the best qualified persons, to insulate judges from political influence and pressure, improve the administration of justice, enhance the prestige of and respect for the courts by minimizing the necessity of political activities by appellate judges, and to make the courts less political.
According to the Administrative Office of the Court's website, in addition to considering this legislative declaration, the judicial nominating commission should consider such things as the integrity and moral courage of the applicant; the legal ability and experience of the applicant; the intelligence and wisdom of the applicant; whether the applicant would be deliberate and fair minded in reaching decisions; whether the applicant would be industrious and prompt in performing his or her duties as a judge; whether the personal habits and outside activities of the applicant are compatible with judicial office; and, whether the applicant would be courteous and considerate on the bench.
Merit selection has been in use since 1971 for our intermediate appellant court and since 1994 for our Supreme Court, when the current version of the Tennessee Plan was put into place. Prior to September 1994, there had been one woman who served on the Tennessee Supreme Court and that same woman had been the only woman to serve on the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals. What a big difference merit selection and nearly 20 years have made! Under this system, the appointments have been 69 percent men and 31 percent women. Nine percent of those appointed have been members of minorities. Tennessee currently has three women on the five-member Supreme Court, two women and two African-Americans serving on the 12-member Court of Appeals, and two women sitting on the 12-member Court of Criminal Appeals with one of those women being the first African-American woman to serve on an intermediate appellate court in Tennessee. Prior to merit selection for replacing trial bench vacancies between elections, there had been eight women serve as state trial court judges. There are currently 26 female trial court judges out of 152 such judges. Of the current trial court judges, nine judges from diverse backgrounds serve. While Tennessee clearly has a way to go for the judiciary to mirror the general population, progress has been made in the past two decades. Many attribute that progress to merit selection. Tennessee has the most qualified judiciary of any state, and that is also credited to merit selection.
Many of us are concerned that if judicial appointments are at the sole discretion of the governor, the most qualified candidates will not even be known to the governor much less be considered for appointment. Concerns expressed about the proposed amendment itself include the lack of definition of "confirmation," questions about what happens when judges are appointed out of session, and what happens if those who are appointed are later rejected when the legislature comes into session. Additional questions arise as to what the confirmation process would look like. Imagine the legislature asking detailed questions about every unpopular cause or client a potential judge has represented.
There has been a lot of discussion about how, if the proposed constitutional amendment fails, we will automatically be faced with contested appellate-level judicial elections. That notion makes the proposed amendment appeal to business groups and some members of the bar who are rightly opposed to contested elections for appellate judges. Others believe that if the amendment fails, there will be an opportunity to retain the Tennessee Plan and merit selection, which has twice been held constitutional by two different Tennessee Supreme Courts. If the amendment fails, the TBA, business groups and citizens who care about our justice system could work to enact legislation in early 2015 to continue the Tennessee Plan.
It is my hope that the bar will have the courage and integrity to continue to speak out in favor of merit selection of judges and find a way to preserve the Tennessee Plan.
Have Your Cake and ...
The cliché "you can't have your cake and eat it too" can refer to having something both ways or to have or get two good things at the same time. Merit selection and retention elections are like that — they are good for the administration of justice and give our citizens a say in judicial selection. That old cliché brings to mind my mother's favorite cake recipe.

The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors is meeting Tuesday to vote on an extension of fee waivers in the New Air Carrier Service Incentive Program as part of the continued effort to attract a new airline to the area.
According to a county report, approval would extend the fee waiver from the current one-year period to a two-year period -- the maximum time allowed by the Federal Aviation Administration.
The county Department of Public Works, in cooperation with the Redwood Region Economic Development Commission, has been trying to attract new air service for the area since Horizon Air terminated its service in April 2011.
Currently, the department charges $1 per square foot for terminal rent space, $1.80 per 1,000 pounds for landing and $0.15 per gallon for fueling, for the use of the runway.
In November 2011, the board authorized a one-year fee waiver as a marketing tool to airlines to attract new commercial air service to the county. The waiver eliminated the main overnight fee, reduced the terminal rent fee and developed minimum revenue guarantees of $1 million for an eastern hub -- such as Denver, Salt Lake City or Phoenix -- and $250,000 for a route to Los Angeles.
The report states there is no negative financial impact to the county for the waivers, as the services do not currently exist.
Currently, the airport is served by United Airlines, which has direct connections to Crescent City, Sacramento and San Francisco. According to the report, the county staff is focusing its efforts on direct service to the Los Angeles area, to an eastern hub and north to the Portland area.
Last May, the board moved to change the airport's name from the "Arcata-Eureka Airport" to the "California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport" -- a change that is still underway -- in hopes of increasing tourism.
According to the report, the development commission also has a standing offer to provide for advertising for a new air carrier and is still working to find additional incentives.

Dawn and I met online through our blogs several months ago. We have a lot in common as mothers, home cooks, writers (she writes the blog, Cuter Than Gluten), and health conscious eaters. We also live several towns apart.
On a recent September morning, Dawn and I met for coffee at a shop in Florence. We talked about photography, self-publishing, and her first cookbook, Culinary Creativity: Let your restrictions set you free. Her story and cooking philosophy piqued my interest right away.
Dawn found a way to remake her favorite foods with new ingredients after both she and her daughter were forced to adhere to a special diet for health concerns. A little while later, the cookbook was born.
The cookbook includes over 110 recipes from breakfast to dessert (without gluten, dairy, soy, cane sugar, nightshades, or baker's yeast) plus 32 Japanese-inspired bento lunches — all simple and satisfying to serve.
The recipes I made (Almond Cheese, Corn Tortillas, and Almond Butter Cups) also happen to be really good. There are many others I want to try: Onion Rings, Plum Ketchup, Tahini Pasta with Butternut Squash and Pears, and Raw Chocolate Truffle Pie. Here's a glimpse of our conversation that day.
What is your first food memory?
Eating hot oatmeal with honey and raisins for breakfast in our very cold cabin on a mountaintop in West Virginia. It was still dark outside but nearly time to leave for the school bus.
Where did you learn to cook?
My mother used to help me create recipes when I was very young and I got some experience there. More recently, I spent a lot of time reading cookbooks, blogs, and watching cooking shows such as Iron Chef and Chopped.
Tell us about your background in art?
Since I was very young my parents always encouraged art. I mostly focused on beading and sewing, but I also took a lot of pottery classes. You can see some of my fabric art here.
Is there a food or drink that always reminds you of home?
Actually so many foods remind me of my childhood. Many of the recipes in Culinary Creativity are based on foods from home. Definitely hot chocolate, popcorn, split pea soup, and vegetable pot pie.
Name three things you always have in your refrigerator.
Almond butter, apples, and onions (not all together though).
Describe the perfect snack.
Ice cream. It always comes back to ice cream with me. Favorite food hands down.
What dishes would you serve from Culinary Creativity for a casual dinner party with friends?
I know my friends' food preferences fairly well, so I would serve different dishes for each group of friends. A dinner party I would like to attend would include Dal, Ginger Roasted Beets, and Spinach Chickpea Curry. I would also make Chapatis.
Do you have a recipe from the book you would like to share?
Honestly, I want to share them all.
Thanks for sharing your family's recipes and story Dawn!
The Giveaway.
For a chance to win a copy of Culinary Creativity by Dawn Allen, leave a comment here by Friday, October 19th at 12 pm (EST).
You can also follow/like me on all or one of my social hangouts for extra chances to win: twitter, facebook, pinterest, google +, and/or sign up for my monthly newsletter (see box at the top of this page), and tell me that you did at the end of this post.
Good luck!
The giveaway is now closed. Thank you all for leaving comments and playing along. Congrats Andreia V, you're the winner!
The Recipe.
Almond Butter Cups
slightly adapted from Culinary Creativity by Dawn Allen
makes 10 (3-inch) cups
1/4 cup almond butter
1/4 cup almond meal/flour
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (about 8 ounces) bittersweet chocolate (roughly chopped; or use chips)
Line a regular or mini muffin pan with parchment baking liners. Place the pan in the freezer.
In the bowl of a food processor, add the almond butter, almond meal, maple syrup, and salt and process until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
Set up a double broiler (place a metal or glass bowl that fits tightly over a saucepan filled with several inches of simmering water) over medium heat. Melt the chocolate in the double broiler, using a spatula to stir as it melts, and when after 7 to 10 minutes it's smooth and completely melted, remove from heat.
When the melted chocolate is still liquid but close to room temperature, take the pan out of the freezer. Very quickly spoon a little chocolate into the muffin liner, and use the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate evenly inside the liner. There should be a thin coating of chocolate in each cup but not so thin that it will all fall apart when peeled from the paper. If the coating is nearly see-through, it means the chocolate is still too hot. Put the pan back in the freezer and wait for the liquid chocolate to cool a bit more. Work quickly to coat all the cups and then place back in the freezer for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add a spoonful of filling to each mold (flatten gently with your fingers) and then pour another layer of chocolate on top so the filling is completely covered. Return to the freezer again until chocolate is set. Once set, remove liners from the pan and peel off.
Store in the refrigerator (or freezer for later use) in an airtight container.

Gulf Bank today announced it has been awarded the prestigious 'Corporate Social Responsibility Excellence Award' from the Arab Organization for Social Responsibility for the outstanding work done by the Bank to encourage wellbeing in the national community in 2012. The award ceremony took place in Dubai at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel on 15 December 2012, gathering together senior executives from companies from different sectors similarly being honoured for their exceptional efforts of services in the community.
The Corporate Social Responsibility Excellence Awards encourages government and private institutions in the Middle East to actively maintain their social responsibility activities by focusing on the importance of sustainable development, environmental protection, and community servicing through awareness programs.
Fawzy Althunayan, General Manager – Board Affairs at Gulf Bank said: "This award reinforces the Bank's successful CSR approach, and we are very grateful to the Arab Organisation for Social Responsibility for recognizing Gulf Bank with this award. The various initiatives that the Bank has carried out throughout the years have always started with the basic objective of increasing the well being of our beloved Kuwait. As a responsible financial institution, our aim is to serve the country and the people who need our support whenever possible.
"Earlier this year, Gulf Bank launched its 'Give Life' campaign to encourage more people to donate blood in Kuwait. The initiative, entitled 'Give Life', aims to convey to the Kuwaiti community that blood donation is a simple, easy and a very charitable and responsible thing to do. Recently, Gulf Bank announced that the campaign had reached a major milestone of saving over 1,000 lives thanks to the increasing understanding and generosity of the Kuwait public".

South Korea: North Korea is Going to Bomb Us
The South Koreans are scared of their neighbors to the North, mainly because they are scary.
I learned many things while reading George W. Bush's "Decision Points," especially about North Korea.
Bush hates North Korea because he loves freedom. In the book, he recounts a story of how an aide showed him a map of Korea at night. The South, especially Seoul, was brightly lit, whereas North Korea was pitch black. Because of malnutrition, North Koreans are, on average, three inches shorter than their Southern counterparts. The North Korean government has a news agency, and some of the news North Koreans hear about is how Kim Jong-il has scored several world-renowned operas, or about the time he scored six(!) hole-in-ones in his first-ever game of golf.
The official government-news message to the North Koreans: "war is mounting." Whenever we hear that in the United States it usually happens, like when Bush appeared in front of the U.N. assembly letting the I-think-we-can-all-agree neat but useless institution know he was going to remove Saddam Hussein with or without their approval.
When Korean conflicts flare up, the world watches with bated breath for two reasons: a) communism could finally fall in the North, uniting Korea or b) the end of the world is upon us.
As an American citizen, you're routinely blasted with information designed to make you hate the Chinese. They manipulate their currency. They violate human rights like gangbusters. Their factories shamefully leak photos of Apple products. And, pressingly, they are North Korea's lone supporter. If the bombs really start falling, which way would the China go?
What separates the U.S. from China? There's the Arabian sea, which is why U.S. military bases pepper the horn of Africa. Eastward from the Mediterranean, there are a few nations you may have heard of, separating us: Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan. There's not a whole lot of love between the U.S. and China, literally, figuratively and geographically.
I recently joked that Americans always overreact when North Korea attacks anyone. As the multitude of commenters suggested I would, here's to not eating my words.

EPA and BP agree to pollution controls in Indiana
The BP refinery in Whiting, Indiana plans to expand its air monitoring system and will make daily emissions reports available to the public.
It's part of an agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency that BP must invest more than $400 million to install pollution controls and cut emissions.
Denny Larson is with the Global Community Monitor, an environmental group. He said the new system will use ultraviolet lights to monitor in real time.
"More than just small areas of the refinery are being monitored with real time equipment to ensure we have a better idea of what is actually crossing the fence line into the neighborhoods."
The daily findings will also be available to the public on a BP website within 24 hours. And that can help the company reduce emissions quicker. The new system is expected to be operational in 2014.

Americans use a lot of oil. Although we constitute only 5% of the world's population, we consume 25% of global oil production. America epitomizes the petroleum-dependent lifestyle.
Oil is the raw material that makes possible the functioning of nearly every component of the U.S. economy, directly or indirectly. It provides 40% of the nation's power supply—far more than any other source. Oil powers our industries, heats our buildings, and provides the raw material for plastics, paints, textiles, and other materials. But it is in transportation that oil is most essential:
Oil provides 97% of the fuel used by America's enormous fleet of trucks, trains, planes, ships, buses and cars.
We have staked our entire way of life on a non-renewable resource that may be largely exhausted within the next 30 years. All of the current and projected alternative energy sources will not be able to replace oil in the near future. But Americans continue to act as if there is no problem as they buy more and bigger cars and commute longer distances from energy-inefficient suburban developments.
It doesn't take much imagination to realize that when (not if) we run out of oil, our accustomed way of life will change radically. But even before that day, our gas-guzzling lifestyle erodes our national security, destroys the environment, and makes us very vulnerable to fluctuating oil prices.

Dallas Cowboys CB Morris Claiborne says he will run next week but won't be back until after bye week
ARLINGTON - Dallas Cowboys second-year cornerback Morris Claiborne missed his first game of the season Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. He was inactive with a strained hamstring.
Claiborne said he won't play next week atNew Orleansand plans to be back after the Cowboys' bye week for the road game at the Giants on Nov. 24.
"That's still the plan as of now," Claiborne said. "This week we should go out and probably do some running."
Claiborne said he's improved since suffering the injury last Sunday at Detroit.
"I'm feeling a lot better," Claiborne said. "I feel good. I can still feel it tighten up on me. It's just one of those things that you just have to keep getting the treatment and hopefully feel better."

The assistant first took an x-ray. She´s nice. It went well, fast and easy. She then ushered me inside a small room.
"Hi!" a familiar woman greeted me. "Hello", I said with a smile while sitting down in the black leaning chair. "How do you feel?" she asked. "My toothache is killing me", I said. "Hmmm, should we take a closer look?", mydentist said.
It was found out that I had an infection in my molar with filling. She has to do the following: extract the old filling, disinfect the area, clean it up, fill it up again and to cover it with a crown ( I thought only the royalties uses crown?!). I didn´t understand it completely. I was desperate and I can´t stand another sleepless night due to toothache. "Can you just please, do what you can to stop the pain now?". "Well, I can do a temporary treament", she answered.
Luckily, I got what I wanted. Finally a good night sleep.
Well, maybe not. My tooth still needs a crown. And "it´s a must to do the treatment" she added before I left the clinic. Sigh, the word "crown" sounds really expensive.
When I came home, I googled about the series of treatments that she said. I found out that the treatment is called ENDODONTIC THERAPY; which according to Wikipedia: is a sequence of treatment for the pulp of a toothwhich results in the elimination of infection and protection of the decontaminated tooth from futuremicrobial invasion. This set of procedures is commonly referred to as a "root canal."
Root canals and their associated pulp chamber are the physical hollows within a tooth that are naturally inhabited by nerve tissue, blood vessels and other cellular entities. Endodontic therapy involves the removal of these structures, the subsequent cleaning, shaping, and decontamination of the hollows with tiny files and irrigating solutions, and the obturation (filling) of the decontaminated canals with an inert filling such as gutta percha and typically aeugenol-based cement.
The last part for this treatment is fitting a crown to prevent the tooth from breaking. This sounds serious. But the most shocking part is…that it will cost me another 5.000 norwegian kroner or so… for a tooth. Sigh.
Dentists are the last people here in Norway on my list. Really. But one can one do with an excruciating tooth pain which leads to headache, sleepless nights and bad appetite? Yes, painkillers work temporarily. There were nights when I cried myself to sleep, took more than "what -is -prescribed" painkiller tablets and hope that I could still wake up the following day.
It took me back a year ago when my dentist referred me to a specialist. That was the story of my decayed wisdom tooth. It cannot be extracted with a normal procedure. In short, a minor operation. My first time on an operating room was dramatic. My body was covered with " I don´t know what" but it feels like plastic sheets. Except for my mouth, obviously. Scary. The lights overhead were too bright.
Even with closed eyes, I can still feel its brightness. I got four anesthesia injections. Glad my eyes were covered. After 30 minutes with pulling and "oh so difficult" remarks.., my tooth was pulled out. That cost me a bit more than 5,000 norwegian kroner. Minor operation, major amount of money.
And then now. Again. Not again….
It´s not really nice to compare but 2 years ago when I came home, I paid less than 1.000 kroner (P7,000 Php for my 6 teethwith holes to be filled. I have no problem with it since then. If I could just take a plane and fly back home (no, the plane ticket would cost me more)…Or if I can just bear the pain and wait ´til my next vacation (tsk, the question is.. when?).
I have no choice but to do it here in Norway. I have no idea how much root canal treatment costs in the Philippines but I am sure that it is way cheaper than here in Norway.
Well, I am still contemplating when to call my dentist for appointment in this Endodontic therapy thing. It´s not as if a full- time- student-who- works- part-time to support herself and her family back home has a lot of money. Duh. I need to save for it. I need to work this summer. I actually suggested to just pull out the infected tooth but then my dentist said that it is better to keep my natural teeth if I can. Because if a tooth is missing, neighboring teeth can drift out of line. And it is actually located just beside my extracted wisdom tooth. If pulled out, there will be a massive hole there. I might end up with crooked teeth. 😛
Bottomline is: I ain´t scared of dentists because they use big needles or injections. I am scared of them because they cost a hell lot of money!
Hint: Para sa mga dentistang pinoy, ano pa hinihintay n'yo? Malaki ang kita dito sa Norway 😛 ´Wag n'yo lang po akong tanungin kung paano mag apply dito kasi wala po akong ideya 😛

text: FATAL SHOOTING One Indian Boy Kills Another Last Monday evening an accidental but fatal shooting took place at the Indian camp just north of town whereby one Indian boy was rather ruthlessly sent to the "Happy Hunting Grounds". From the evidence adduced at the inquest held before Justice Chatterly on Tuesday, it appears that Ammon, the boy shot, was playing in his mother's tent, when Snake, the slayer, and another boy came along. A general play was indultied in. The boys all ran into a tent when Snake, seeing a gun that Indian Jim had left there, leaning against the side of the tent, caught it up to scare the others. It was not known that the gun was loaded as Jim had been out shooting rabbits and had shortly before returned. Snake pointed the gun at Ammon and after pulling back the breech in imitation of loading, he touched the trigger, the gun went off and Ammon rolled over shot through the left side. The ball entered the side about under the elbow and passed almost straight through the body. The boy did not live long. Snake, seeing what he had done fled but soon returned. Constable Ed Parry learning of the affair went out to the camp and brought the body to town. The Indians followed. The evidence brought out at the inquest is as near the foregoing as it was possible to get at, for all the Indians seemed bent on giving the story in their own way all at the same time. Snake was examined said that he had had no hard feelings against the deceased and felt sorry at the result. He did not know the gun was loaded and he only tried to scare Ammon. The poor boy looked his feelings, and the perspiration stood in great drops upon his face while he was being questioned. The jury, consisting of A. Jenson, Wm. Walker and Jon. H. Hunter, rendered a verdict of accidental shooting. - - - - - LOCAL CULLINGS. Ammon, the victim of the accidental shooting, was buried on Tuesday evening last. - - - - - Iron County News, Vol. I, No. 3, December 6, 1890 - - - - -

If you've ever called tech support, especially at your company, and wondered what they were doing while you were complaining, this is a must-watch video. If you've ever been behind the scenes in a tech organization, this is a must-watch video. If you've ever … I think you get the point.
The creator of The Website is Down, Josh Weinberg, manages to perfectly capture both what's happening behind the scenes and on the front line of a technical support call where the "sales guy" complains about the site being down to the "web dude".
I won't give away any of the plot but I do have to say that I've lived a number of pieces of this video–from both sides–in the past. It's completely true to form and they really must have done their homework for this one.

Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe Becomes FringeArts
This morning, the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe marked the beginning of a new era: The 17-year-old contemporary arts organization has officially changed its name to FringeArts. The new name, announced in conjunction with breaking ground on a versatile permanent home on Philadelphia's burgeoning waterfront, reflects the organization's mission to bring the world's newest and most cutting-edge cultural experiences to the City of Brotherly Love.
"We are an institution on a mission to explore the boundaries of art, to reveal what is yet to be discovered, to present high-quality new work that compels and challenges expectation, and to support the artists who create it," says President and Producing Director Nick Stuccio. "FringeArts defines the bold innovation that characterizes the art we pride ourselves in pursuing."
FringeArts will be permanently located across the street from Race Street Pier at the corner of Race Street and Columbus Boulevard. The 1903 historic former pumping station will be transformed into a year-round center for contemporary performing and visual arts; the 10,000-square-foot building will feature a 240-seat theater, rehearsal and creation studio, permanent festival hub, outdoor events plaza, restaurant/bar and administrative offices.
Programming under the new FringeArts banner will expand to include not only the annual 16-day Festival but also a year-round series of high-quality contemporary dance, theater and music performances both local and international; commissioned public art installations; and a residency program that continues to expand and grow as a state-of-the-art incubator for artists.
The organization plans to open the building to the public in time for the 2013 Festival (Sept. 6-21), serving as FringeArts' festival hub and housing performances, the box office and the Festival bar.
Stuccio joined Mayor Michael A. Nutter, former Gov. Ed Rendell, Deputy Mayor for Economic Development and Director of Commerce Alan Greenberger, philanthropist Leonard C. Haas and columnist/philly.com's "Out and About" host Maria Papadakis on Monday, along with members of Philadelphia's cultural community, to celebrate the organization's expanded scope.
According to Mayor Nutter, the move is significant not only for the organization but for the future of the waterfront: "This innovative new arts center solidifies FringeArts as an integral part of the city's goal to develop the waterfront, providing a much-needed hub for culture and creativity on the Delaware River."
Adds Tom Corcoran, president of the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation: "We are thrilled that such a thriving arts organization has chosen the waterfront for its new headquarters, performance space and café. It's exciting to see one of the key principles of the new Master Plan for the Central Delaware in action, as strategic public investments such as the award-winning Race Street Pier and the vibrant streetscape of the Race Street Connector continue to catalyze private development. We look forward to continuing this synergistic partnership with FringeArts, and we hope to work together to even further expand opportunities for the arts on the waterfront."
The organization purchased the High Pressure Fire Service (HPFS) building in June 2012 for $750,000. Total cost of the renovation, headed by Philadelphia architecture firm Wallace Roberts & Todd, is $7 million. With grant funding and support from group and individual leadership donors, the Festival is now only $600,000 away from its financial goal.
"Just as our impact on the artistic community is great, our economic impact on the community is immense," said Stuccio. "According to a 2010 Economic Impact Study by the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance, our organization generated nearly $8 million in local economic impact that year alone. Now we're poised to do even more. We've always been a dynamic organization, and this building will be the catalyst to bring the excitement and creativity of the Festival to our region, 365 days a year."
To support these initiatives, FringeArts has launched the "Take Your Seat" campaign. Individuals and institutions can become a permanent part of this vital addition to Philadelphia's arts community by making a donation in exchange for name recognition on one of the new theater's 240 seats.

Alessandro Zanardi, born in 1966 in Bologna, is a phenomenon. With his zest for life and his indefatigable ambition, the Italian is an outstanding example of positive thinking and the will to win.
After being a Formula One driver, Alessandro Zanardi won two titles in the American Champ Car Racing Series in 1997 and 1998. In 2001, he had a serious crash on the Eurospeedway Lausitz, where he lost both his legs. It seemed like the end of his sporting career. But his desire for racing and the passion for challenges brought him back to the Touring Car World Championship: On August 28th 2005, Zanardi won the world championship motor race in Oschersleben. Just one year later, he repeated this success with another victory in Istanbul. Beyond the world of motor racing, the 47-year-old made his Paralympics debut in 2012, and won two gold medals at the hand cycling time trial event.

text: Hey guys Just rolled over 4k miles and 3 months in my A3 and she's given me a 4k birthday present - 3 (minimum) errors. I did 2 shorter journeys earlier today (a couple of miles each) at town speeds, followed by a 50 mile motorway/A-road journey (half cruising at 70, half A-roads so between 30 and 70 with a handful of roundabouts) and the same journey in reverse. As I got right to the end of the return journey - literally on my road - the red battery light flashed along with a beep, perhaps half a dozen times. As I looked down the traction control light was on and "stability control error" or similar was on the DIS. A moment later a TPMS (Tyre Pressure) error came up, and finally as I pulled up to my driveway there was a Start Stop system error. Being an idiot, I turned the car off at this point, so for all I know there could have been more problems. I got out to have a look at the tyres - my first assumption being that a flat tyre could cause a stability problem, and that the start-stop tends not to work when there's any other issue... but there doesn't seem to be a problem. I'll check again soon to see if it's a slow puncture or similar (Edit: still no sign of a puncture approx 10 mins later, taken the car for a quick drive to the end of the road and no errors have appeared this time) I'm not too worried about cost - I've got 3 3/4 years of warranty left and RAC cover - I'm just not too keen on my traction control giving up the ghost on the twisty lanes I know I've got to spend time on this week, and the fact I really need my car this weekend. Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Cheers

To Extend Or Not To Extend: The NBA widened the window for teams to reach a long-term contract extension for the players drafted in 2008 NBA draft, giving teams and players until January 25th to reach a deal this season because of the NBA Lockout.
So far only Chicagos Derrick Rose and Oklahoma Citys Russell Westbrook have reached deals; both receiving maximum dollars to insure they stay where they are.
There are a few other players that could get deals, and here is where things stand, listed in the order they were drafted.
#2 Michael Beasley Minnesota
Sources close to the process label the odds of a Beasley extension as low. Michael has been a solid player for the Wolves, but injuries have been an issue. Its far more likely that a deal is made this summer after a stroll through restricted free agency happens before a monster payday on Beasleys terms. Sources say his camp has had talks, but with rookie Derrick Williams in town and playing well, Beasley has hardly been the franchise-changing player he was projected to be coming into the NBA three years ago.
#3 OJ Mayo Memphis
As well cover shortly, it seems more likely that OJ Mayo is traded than extended. Its possible that the Grizz have heard the price tag and realize its time to move him simply because they cannot afford him with the monster deals given to Mike Conley, Zach Randolph, Rudy Gay and now Marc Gasol. The odds of an OJ Mayo extension seem astronomically low.
#5 Kevin Love Minnesota
Expect Kevin Love to get a full max extension offer before the deadline tomorrow. The question is will he sign it? There had been reports of a four-year offer, which sources say was about addressing Loves long-term concerns about the direction of the team, but at the end of the day the Wolves are prepared to offer Kevin every nickel that can be offered. The odds of a Love extension are very high, unless he thinks he can be named MVP this year, which would allow him to get a larger deal next summer, but how realistic is that?
#6 Danilo Gallinari Denver
The Denver Nuggets have talked about an extension with Gallo, but its unlikely they are going to go all-in on Danilo. Its more likely that the Nuggets ride out this season, issue a Qualifying Offer and see if they can get a marketplace driven price. If Gallos camp wants a deal now, it could be had, it would just mean a deal on lower side of the price scale, not the high side. The odd of an extension in the next 48-hours is low, but not completely out of the question.
#7 Eric Gordon New Orleans
There are reports that say Eric Gordon and his agent have talked with the Hornets about doing an extension, however because of the Hornets precarious ownership situation the final call on an extension will be made by David Stern, who is the acting owner of the Hornets. Sources say Erics next deal will likely be made by whatever incoming owner is named in the coming weeks and while extending Gordon is something the team wants to do, it may have to wait until the team is sold. The odds of an extension are not good, although it seems the numbers have been worked out so its just a question of will Stern green light the deal and saddle his new owner with a hefty contract or let the new owner make that call after he owns the team?
#9 DJ Augustin Charlotte
The Charlotte Bobcats have made it clear that they will not be doing a contract extension for any of their players this year and that includes DJ Augustin. The Bobcats will likely give Augustin a Qualifying Offer this summer and let the marketplace set his price. In part because the Bobcats are not in love with DJ, but also because the Bobcats are a team in transition and depending on how the draft plays out the team could look to upgrade. Extending DJ seems very unlikely.
#13 Brandon Rush Golden State
The Warriors have talked about an extension with Brandon Rush, more to lock him in at a good price. Rush is not going to command a huge deal, but it seems the Warriors have at least talked about it out of respect to Rush. The odds of a deal seem low, but if Brandon wants security he could lower his price to a point that makes it favor the Warriors, thats likely the scenario that gets something done.
#15 Robin Lopez Phoenix
The Suns have said there is no basis for an extension with Robin at this point. The two sides have talked about a deal, but according to Suns president Lon Babby, he just does not see anything happening. The Suns will issue Lopez a Qualifying Offer and try their hand at restricted free agency. The odds of a deal are almost non-existent.
#16 Roy Hibbert Indiana
The Pacers and Hibbert have talked about a new deal, but it seems where Roys camp places his value today is a little too high and a deal in the next 48 hours seems unlikely. Dont read that to mean anything about Roys desire to remain a Pacer or the Pacers desire to keep Roy, as both sides say they will likely do a deal, just not likely extension now. Its more likely a deal is reached after a trip through restricted free agency. The Pacers really want to stay flexible. The Pacers have just $36 million on the books next summer and want to be in a position to add more players. Roys contract price will also be tied to how far this Pacers squad can go this season, a strong and dominating playoff run for the Pacers will go a long way to helping Roy get paid. Dont expect an extension before the deadline.
#18 JaVale McGee Washington
JaVale wants an extension. However its HIGHLY unlikely hell get one. The Wizards are dreadfully bad, and word is no one on the roster is safe from trade speculation except for maybe John Wall. With just two wins on the season, there is almost no scenario in which anyone on the roster gets rewarded with a new deal. JaVale will likely get a Qualifying Offer next summer to see where the market values him, but given the lack of love Nick Young saw in free agency, McGees next deal may be far lower than anyone expects. Do not expect an extension for JaVale.
#21 Ryan Anderson Orlando
Ryan is playing out of his mind this season despite an o-fer last night in Boston Ryan has exceeded expectations. Sources say the Magic have talked extension with Ryan and there is a 50/50 chance that he gets a deal in the next 48-hours. The question becomes how much will Orlando pay? The Magic have a history of overpaying players, so if a deal is reached what will the valuation be? If the Magic do not reach a deal with Anderson, they will issue a qualifying offer and look to match offers on the open market. The Magic have made it clear that Ryan is not going anywhere, so well see if that happen now or in July.
#25 Nicolas Batum Portland
The Blazers and Batum have been talking new deal for several weeks, with the Blazers saying that reaching a deal was more about finding a deal that works for both. Batum has said he wants to remain in Portland and with just $41 million in cap commitments next year the Blazers have a choice to make. Lock in Batum now or wait and see what assets can be acquired next summer and do a deal with Batum after a swing through restricted free agency. The odds of a deal are low, simply because the Blazers have cap space to play with next summer. There is no risk of losing Batum, so unless he gives them the home team discount, do not expect a deal in the next 48 hours. Batums deal likely comes in July.
Keep in mind that even if a team and its player do not reach a deal before the end of business tomorrow, that does not mean much. The window teams have, gives them the chance to negotiate against themselves. Teams tend to overpay during this window.
Most teams would rather wait until this summer, issue a Qualifying Offer sheet and try and match a deal in restricted free agency and let the marketplace set the price.
The deals that get done during this window are either for players that are locks to receive Max money, or deals that tend to favor the team.
OJs Future?: For whatever reason the Memphis Grizzlies continue to shop OJ Mayo, despite having a solid week for Memphis, Mayo continue to be a chip the Grizz are trying to cash and according to Chris Mannix of SI.com, part of the price tag for OJ is a first round draft pick.
Mayo has been averaging better than 25 minutes of playing time over the last week and has been scoring the ball extremely well, not only from the field but from deep (excluding last nights 0-for-5 outing).
On the season, Mayo is 45.4% from the field and hitting 44% from NBA three and 80% from the foul line.
To put that in perspective Steve Nash on his career is 49% from the field, 42.9% from three and 90% from the line, which is considered rarified air for a guard.
OJ is nowhere close to Steve Nash in impacting a game, but his averages this season are impressive.
If the season ended today the Grizzlies would hold the four seed and open the playoffs with home court.
The Grizz have won 7 straight games and seem to have found their groove, which OJ has been a big part of.
Its unclear exactly why the Grizz would trade Mayo, but it is clear that the Grizz continue to entertain talks and its very likely OJ is moved before the march 15ht trade deadline.
I think Bird will make another run at OJ

Caterham Supersport R revealed
Caterham has added a new model to its iconic range of Sevens, giving the acclaimed Supersport a steroid-induced brother – the two-litre Supersport R, which packs 180bhp from a 2.0 liter Ford Duratec paired with limited-slip differential to further enhance its performance credentials.
Designed to sit immediately above its 1.6-litre sibling in the Seven range, the Supersport R is priced at £24,995 in UK in self-build form or £27,995 fully-built. It features a 25% power increase on the Supersport, as well as 5bhp more than the R300 road car.
Caterham Cars' Chief Executive, Graham Macdonald, said: "The Supersport's formula has struck a chord with driving enthusiasts and we are confident that, by extending the range to include an R model, we will be able to build on the original's success.
"The performance of the car is very impressive but, teamed with the accessibility of the suspension specification that works so effortlessly on the road and track on the base model, it is well-balanced, satisfying and fun in terms of the driving experience it offers."
Weighing just 535kg, the new vehicle extends the Supersport line, which already includes road and track versions of the 1.6-litre model.
Inside the cabin, a bespoke Supersport steering wheel, integrated change-up light, composite race seats and four-point race harnesses complete the track-inspired experience.

Domestic gold prices late Wednesday slipped to VND47.23 million (US$2,289.61) per tael, down almost VND900,000 compared to yesterday.

The prices slumped VND400,000 early this morning before sliding a further VND500,000 at the end of the day.
Gold shops now still reap a pretty high margin – VND550,000 per tael.
The fall has made the gold market which is already busy even busier.
Buying prevailed in the market today, according to Bao Tin Bao Minh, a Hanoi-based jewelry company.
Domestic gold prices have logged two gaining sessions and a losing one so far this week in the country, and been in line with global prices for several days.
In a separate development, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has decided to maintain the 14 percent cap on dong deposit interest rates in a bid to help bring lending interest rates for the manufacturing sector down to 17-19 percent from current 20.5-22 percent.
The central bank said it will also keep caps on interest rates paid for deposits denominated in foreign currencies by institutions and individuals.
It currently puts a 0.5 percent interest cap on deposits by institutions and a 2 percent rate limit on those by individuals.
The central bank has also issued a circular on the operations of credit institutions to pre-empt any surge in deposit interest rates.
SBV governor Nguyen Van Binh today said in another directive that the central bank will crack down on any credit institution that violates the caps.
SBV said at a meeting Wednesday in Hanoi that it will pursue a controlled and flexible monetary policy for the rest of the year to ensure an adequate cash supply, an under-20 percent credit growth, stable exchange rates, decreased inflation, and safety for the whole system.

David Taylor has done a few things worthy of envy. First, he played College Baseball at USC. Then, having become bored with the diamond, he moved to University of Arizona and on a whim joined the Wildcat football team. No small achievement, on either end, but perhaps not the everyone's dream.
More universal, then, might be David's current job. He spends his days listening to new music and thinking about how it might translate to commercial use. In short, he's responsible for that moment where music clicks with moving image and finds the right balance and tone to articulate a products feeling. Or, more basically, that moment where the consumer goes "I remember that song from that commercial."
I spoke with David to learn a little more about his background and the process behind a job that quite frankly sounds amazing.
Read the full interview after the click…
SL: What's your background in music and what brought you to selecting music for advertisements?
David: I originally started out writing music videos and collaborating with a number of directors on music videos, right out of college. My father, actually, was a music video director, so I've always had a fondness for music and media. When I got out of college, I had this desire, I thought it was interesting. I sought it out and got a job working for a company called Palomar Pictures. I worked with a bunch of a directors on things like Moby videos. Some Britney Spears, Weezer, a bunch of rock stuff. Then the whole thing went under, and one of the directors I got along well with got a deal to do some movies with Miramax films. He brought me on board and we did a movie. I'd helped him on soundtracks before, unofficially picked a bunch of music, and then worked with him for four years. Randomly I ran into a mutual friend that works at an advertising company and we got to talking, and he eventually hired me as a creative consultant… or my official title was content creative… and that consists of helping with alternative advertising. Something outside the traditional of TV commercials. It was a new way of thinking, and I've started to make a career of it. Older advertising firms have a very old school mentality where everything has to be separate. Creatives don't really don't talk to the media people and vice versa. So, the way traditional advertising works is – you do your piece, and then hand it to someone else who does their piece. There is kind of a disconnect. It doesn't always always click. I like to work in such a way where everything is collaborative.
I started to think about ads in a non-traditional way, and found some success in picking music and have slowly transitioned to only doing that. I've now been doing it for five years. A lot of music I pick before the advertisement is created, so its built around the ad.
SL: What's the process for finding the correct music for an ad, but since you seem to do that in reverse, how then do you work with the other side of the project to sell them, in a sense, the music you've picked?
David: Say we have an ad coming up, we get briefed on the positioning, what the product is and what positioning we'd like to take on it. I kind of look at it from a musical point as what's the voice or tone it should take. I start pulling music music based on the brief and play it for creatives and the president of our company. A lot of times a piece of music that I pull has a specific tone or meaning that will inform the ad and the creative. It will shape the ad in a very specific way. Or, I'll keep on pulling music and it won't work. The first piece might not work and I'll refine it until something works. This is the more typical method of working. Traditionally music is a post production process, with us its more of a "at the same time" or "before," not necessarily a post thing. With TV and movies its like "ok, we shoot it," then we give it to an editor and put music on it. With us its more collaborative.
SL: How do you find new music or discover new bands? I assume you are in New York for CMJ.
David: I do it a number of different ways. The majority of my time, a read blogs a lot. Its a good way to find little niche spots of music. Things that buzzing or breaking around the internet. I go to a lot of blogs. I have a lot of positive relationships with labels and A&R and management, people that send me music and know what I like. They send me early stuff, sometimes people their looking to sign or bands they like but can't sign. I read a lot of European magazines, as their a little more daring and accepting of new sounds. I speak to some people in London frequently.
A big part of good music is if the band can play live, so I try and get out and see a lot of music. Go to CMJ, South by Southwest, and stuff. Often its just luck. What bands are buzzing now, what are people reacting to, what are people wanting to see? Where is music going? Trying to be ahead in that. People in NY or LA are very forthright. They are a little more adventurous.
SL: Is it important to use sounds that are undiscovered or under the radar?
David: It is important in the sense, I just like to find new, innovative, cool music. It's definitely important, but we've had success with music that isn't new, but might be overlooked. A lot of bands, like I wouldn't be scared to use a band that has been out for a year or two but has been kind of swept under the rug. Perhaps the public wasn't ready or wasn't into it at that point. A rediscovery of a sound. It's not super important, but it is easier. There is always new stuff, and it is harder to look for stuff that has been over-looked than it is to find new stuff. I have a fun time breaking new bands. Everyone in music likes to be the person to say "I found that," or "I helped them break." It's fun to do and you can kind of be the person that says "That's the band that was on that ad," and that's how you know it.
SL: Any bands you think our readers should know about?
David: I've been seeing a lot of the XX. They're a cool band. From the outsiders perspective they are a bit hard, kind of dark and moody. Their lead singers voice is really interesting, with traces of Tricky, very brooding.
I was impressed with this band called Golden Filters that played the other night. It's kind of a poppy record, but translated a little more fun live than I would have thought. I wanted to see DeLorean last night, they are a fun Spanish band. Almost electro. It was packed, I couldn't get in.
SL: And, to finish, what are your favorite Aether products?
I live in LA, so it's not as cold. I always use the Space Hoodie. It's like silk, when you wear it you don't even feel like your wearing something. It's definitely warm. For that type of jacket its my favorite. I ride a lot to work, its easy to use during commuting. I surf a lot as well, so its something I use on after I get out of the water to warm up quick.

In the second quarter of 2012, core FFO per share of $0.33 increased by 3% year-over-year. Strong year-over-year same-store revenue and net operating income growth of 5.6% and 6.7% respectively, as well as solid execution in our non-same-store portfolio, drove the improvement. Offset by dilution from our late May secondary equity offering. Second, a business plan update. Creating shareholder value remains our top priority.As such we will continue to focus on growing NAV per share and on increasing our cash flow per share, which in turn supports dividend growth. Increasing top line growth and expanding operating margins are low risk, insistent generators of NAV growth per share. Our strong operating platform has historically been one of UDRs hallmarks and we expect will continue to be our primary driver of NAV creation moving forward. Capital allocation is the second variable in NAV growth equation. Over the past few years our portfolio quality and footprint has improved dramatically, primarily the result of purposeful repositioning into coastal gateway markets, while simultaneously selling suburban locations and non-core markets. Some comments with regard to these activities. First, acquisition activity. We intend to further expand our presence in our core markets over time. Markets that exhibit above average job growth, low home affordability, a high propensity to rent and limited new multifamily supply pressures. The capitalization of any future acquisition will be determined in the context of a lower leveraged operating model, but currently there are limited number of deals that fit our acquisition criteria. Second, disposition activity. We are on a number of communities located in non-core markets, but not all non-core markets are equivalent in our view. Let me break them down. We have several markets that do not fit our long-term operating plan and we intend to exit them over the next 12 to 18 months. Combined, these markets represent $200 million to $400 million of value, minimal when compared to our total enterprise value.

A PROBE is to be held into the circumstances surrounding the death of a baby boy, the Evening Times can today reveal.
Elijah Stirling died at home in May 2011, six months after what was described as a "horrendous" birth.
He battled against the odds following his birth at Crosshouse Hospital in Ayrshire, but died at home in Kilmarnock.
Today we can reveal a Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) will be held into his death.
His devastated mum, Jennifer, is still angry at the way she and her son were treated.
She said: "Finally, I hope we get the answers and closure we deserve."
Jennifer was booked in for a Caesarean on December 14 2010.
She says her consultant told her it would be performed within two hours.
But it was 12 hours later - after her uterus had ruptured - that she was taken for an emergency Caesarean. Baby Elijah was starved of oxygen for up to 30 minutes during the birth, but he survived.
He remained in intensive care until he was transferred to Yorkhill Hospital at the end of January 2011. He died six weeks after being allowed home.
Jennifer, added: "Right now, we're still in the dark - I just hope we will finally get answers.
" I want to find out why this happened - that is the most important thing."
A Crown Office spokesman, said: "Crown counsel have instructed that an FAI should be held in relation to the circumstances surrounding the death of Elijah Stirling on 20 May 2011.2
Professor Fiona McQueen, NHS Aryshire and Arran Executive Nurse Director said: "Our deepest sympathies are with Elijah's parents and wider family. We deeply regret the pain they have experienced in his short life and since.
"Following Elijah's death, we commissioned our own review. We will work closely with the procurator fiscal during the Fatal Accident Inquiry and will fully embrace its findings."

A service in San Francisco on Aug. 7 will mark the 75th anniversary of the first known suicide from the Golden Gate Bridge.
Congregation Sha'ar Zahav will commemorate the event with a special Yizkor for the Fallen service at 7 p.m. at 290 Dolores St.
The Yizkor will include a reading of the names of the 1,558 individuals known to have died by jumping from the bridge.
A new federal transportation bill contains wording allowing funding for suicide prevention, including safety rails and nets on bridges. Though it doesn't provide any of the $50 million needed to build the barrier, it makes it eligible for federal dollars.

Halloween turns truly scary for robbery victims
Two armed men, dressed in Halloween costumes, pulled a big scary trick today with no treats.
Police say the suspects robbed customers and employees at a dentist's office on Butternut Street in NE D.C.
The masked robbers armed with a gun and a knife entered the dentist's office this morning - one wore a Dr. Frankenstein mask - and ordered everyone to lay on the floor. One of the victims was then ordered to collect all of the pocketbooks and valuables and put them in a pile on the floor.
The robbers took the loot and fled.
"I can't say that I'm shocked at that because my doors have been kicked in," said Preston Lee, a NE resident. "There's been robberies in this neighborhood."
Police dusted for prints and searched trashcans in nearby alleys looking for evidence in this case. It seems there may have been half a dozen people in the dentist's office during the frightening experience.

Breast cancer survivor: Radiation tattoo a battle scarPosted: Updated:
Breast cancer awareness month may be over, but for breast cancer survivors, the awareness never goes away. Some reminders are as permanent as tattoos.
"For me, it's a battle scar," said psychotherapist and breast cancer survivor Vivian Schwabish.
As a healthy young mom, she was shocked when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002.
"There was a period of time when I was still raising my children when I thought, I might die," Schwabish said.
She underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy and then radiation.
"You're getting it over the course of six weeks, five days and they want to make sure you're getting it in exactly the same spot," Schwabish said.
So her doctors made five dark, 1 millimeter marks - called radiation tattoos - in different areas on her body.
"Some women love them, it's like their battle scars, they made it through a really tough time in their life, and some women hate them," said Dr. Jennifer Mundt who works at Delete Tattoo Removal and Laser Salon in Phoenix.
They not only remove radiation tattoos for those women who don't want the constant reminder, but they do it for free.
"The laser's job is to hit the ink, blow it up into little pieces and then the body is to absorb it," she said.
Everyone in the room wears goggles because the light is so strong, and Mundt numbs the area. Mundt said it's similar to getting a freckle removed.
While Schwabish said she has thought about it and understands both sides, her tattoos aren't going anywhere for now.
"They remind me of the battle I undertook and they also make me appreciate every day that I have," Schwabish said.For more information, go to http://www.deleteitnow.com/.

A new study performed on the diabetes drug metformin has shown that the drug does not help prevent heart failure in non-diabetics who've already had a heart attack. This new information is in dispute with results gleaned from previous studies that showed metformin could protect the heart.
Dr. Chris Lexis, the head of the study from University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands, said, "While this glucose-lowering drug is very effective in patients with diabetes and can be safely used in patients with a heart attack, [our data show] it is not of additional benefit in protecting the heart from damage resulting in decreased pump function of the heart," said Lexis.
In the study, researchers examined whether four months of treatment with the metformin drug would help prevent heart failure and preserve current heart function. The study included 380 patients that were heart attack survivors. Researchers randomly assigned patients metformin treatment (500 milligrams twice a day) or a placebo. None of the patients involved in the study had been diagnosed as diabetic. After four months, the patients underwent MRIs in order to assess their left ventricle function.
According to Lexis, "This study did not prove the benefits of metformin in acute myocardial infarction [heart attack] and as such will not change clinical practice as we might have thought." This is not to say that the treatment does not have its benefits. As Lexis says, "It is noteworthy that metformin started early after heart attack did not adversely affect kidney function and was well-tolerated," Lexis said. "So our findings do not preclude the use of metformin to treat diabetes in this setting."
This preliminary research is currently unpublished in a peer-reviewed journal.

SPARKS, NV – Kyle LeDuc and Toyo Tires captured a Round 11 Win on Saturday in the Pro 4 class during the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series at the Wild West Motorsports Park near Reno, NV. LeDuc is pursuing his third consecutive Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS) Pro4 Championship. If he gets it, he will set a new record for the series. His #99 Monster Energy / Toyo Tires Ford truck relies on Toyo Open Country M/T-R tires for performance on the track.
GLEN HELEN, CA – Team Toyo Off-Road drivers had a great weekend during Rounds 9 and 10 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Races at the Glen Helen Raceway in Glen Helen, CA.
Toyo Tires recently announced that it added a new size to its Open Country R/T tires with its new 31X10.50R15LT. Toyo says the new tire will have a C Load Range, and it is designed to fit wheels with width from 7- to 9-inches.
CYPRESS, CA – In the motorsports arena, Toyo Tires continually strives for excellence, while demonstrating its diversity in the sport. During the 2015 racing season, Team Toyo's Kyle LeDuc was crowned Pro 4 Class Champion in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS), making him back-to-back champ. His 900-horsepower #99 Monster Energy / Toyo Tires Ford F-150 relied on Toyo Open Country M/T-R tires for a record-breaking 12-wins-in-a-row.
CYPRESS, CA – Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp continues with the 'All or Nothing' mantra as they announce that Toyo Tires® will be the Official Tire of SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road for 2015. This marks the third season that Toyo Tires has supported the series, and the second year that all Stadium SUPER Trucks (SST) will compete on Toyo Open Country A/T II tires. Toyo Open Country tires are known for their traction, durability, and uniformity, all critical to the performance of the 600-plus horsepower SST trucks.
LAKE ELSINORE, CA – Team Toyo off-road driver Kyle LeDuc, was crowned the 2014 Pro 4 Unlimited Class champion Saturday at the Lucas Oil® Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS) finale in Lake Elsinore, CA. LeDuc's #99 Monster Energy / Toyo Tires® Ford F-150 relies on Toyo® Open Country M/T®-R tires to get its 900+ horsepower to the ground.
Toyo Tires pulled the cover off its new off-road tire recently – but only a little bit. Off-Road.com was recently invited to get an early look at its newest off-road tire, the Open Country R/T, which won't be available in dealers until September of this year.
As somewhat of a preview to the Stadium Super Trucks race Friday evening after the 2013 SEMA Show concludes, Team Toyo Off-Road brought out some of its notable off-road racers to host a demo this week called the Team Toyo Truck-Off. Slated as an event with "no money, no champagne, no trophy," the racers hopped behind their Stadium Super Trucks and still drove like they were in a real competition, giving the SEMA crowd, some of whom had never seen off-road race trucks in action, a demonstration of just what they could do on the Ford Out Front track in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

text: I say get the Prime (or whatever its called). My reasons: (1) It will be a Nexus/Google device, so that means updates straight from Google. (2) A lot of people are at the end of their contract with the OG Droid, which was a huge phone and has a big development community for it; AND as a Nexus device (completely open/unlocked) with the first access to OS updates it will attract a big development community....therefore, I expect the development community for this phone to be GINORMOUS! If you've owned an android phone you should know this is a big factor - if lots of devs own the phone and make ROMs and kernals for it that adds a lot of life to the device!
