Monitored 3 times. No damage seen on x ray. Failed cold test recommended root canal. She has no pain or discolouration. Can this heal on own as no infection? Should I ask for specialist opinion?
My 9 Year Old Daughter Fell Front Top Tooth Loose Wired No Fractures Failed Cold Test? Does She Need Root Canal?
Doctor Answers 3
9 year old fell.
If there is no sign of infection on X-ray, and if there is no sensitivity to HOT, then there is still a chance the nerve will heal itself. It would be. good idea to have it checked by an endodontist. I would probably hold off on the root canal if it was my child.
Trauma on fron teeth on a 9 year old. Root canal or not?
9 year olds front teeth have excellent healing capacity. They have large pulp chambers and good circulation. I would not jump into root canal therapy unless there are signs and/or symptoms that warrant it. (for example: pain, swelling, changes on an x-ray, color changes)
Once you do root canals on such a young tooth you doom it to long term problems, especially if a post or crown is done as well.
I would highly recommend to keep following it up and take an X-ray every 6 mo for 2 years. Then, once a year after that. The cold test by itself is only a clue and not a definitive diagnosis in trauma cases.
The trauma may be too soon for the nerve endings to regenerate to the point of sensing cold again. If in doubt, go get a consultation from a Board Certified Endodontis.
Good Luck.

Health fair educates Flint residents
Sat, 30 Mar 2013 23:57:41 GMT —
A free health clinic a Berston Field House is giving Flint residents the information needed to stay healthy.
Members from several health organizations came together to put out information about health issues like high blood pressure and sexually-transmitted-diseases.
Hamilton Community Health Network put the event together.
It is part of several outreach clinics scheduled in the area.
"You can go for medical care and not pay any money for it. Because my goal is to make sure that people in this particular area know health care is important and getting you to feel good so that you can more forward," says Tiffany Jones, Hamilton Community Health Network.
More than 150 Flint residents attended the clinic.

SACRED Heart Mission in St Kilda - one of Melbourne's busiest charity kitchens - has received a million dollar boost to improve facilities.
The $1.2 million renovation will include a full industrial kitchen, new plumbing and sewerage pipes, and amenities for volunteers and staff including extra toilets, change rooms, offices, and storage space.
The State Government, Fox family and Archdiocese of Melbourne have jointly funded the renovation which will ensure the charity continues to deliver more than 180,000 meals each year to people who are homeless or disadvantaged.
Acting Premier Peter Ryan said the State Government was pleased to partner with philanthropists and the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne to secure the future of the Sacred Heart Mission's meals program.
"For more than three decades the Sacred Heart Mission has provided more than 500 meals a day, 365 days a year, in a space that was not originally designed or built for this purpose," Mr Ryan said.
"As well as providing meals, it's here in the dining hall that Sacred Heart Mission's care and support workers actively engage with people who are doing it tough, helping them to get back on their feet.
"This $1.2 million renovation will provide a greatly improved environment for clients, staff and volunteers, allowing Sacred Heart Mission workers to more effectively connect with those who use their services."
Work on the new facilities will begin immediately with the upgrade due for completion in May.

Research Synopsis: Organometallic chemistry: reactions, mechanisms, photochemistry, and catalysis
Phone: (848) 445-5232

Research Summary
The research conducted in my group is focused on the reactions between transition metal complexes and simple organic molecules, particularly hydrocarbons. Our work generally involves a mechanism-based approach to the development of catalysts.
Catalytic functionalization of C-H bonds
The catalytic functionalization of alkanes and other molecules with normally inert C-H bonds is a scientifically challenging problem that presents great opportunities in terms of economics, environmental benefits, and energy self-sufficiency. Catalysts for both the dehydrogenation and the carbonylation of alkanes have been developed in our group; these were among the first efficient organometallic alkane functionalization catalysts.
Pincer catalysts for alkane dehydrogenation
We reported the first efficient solution-phase catalysts for alkane dehydrogenation that require neither the use of photochemical irradiation nor a sacrificial hydrogen acceptor. These "pincer catalysts" have also been found to catalyze reactions as industrially significant as dehydrogenation of n-alkanes, to give the important alpha-olefin products, or dehydrogenation of polymers to allow entry into a diverse manifold of functionalized polymers. Concomitantly, applications in organic synthesis are being investigated.
Alkane Metathesis and other Tandem Systems for Catalytic Hydrocarbon Transformation
Olefins are ubiquitous as intermediates in the petrochemical, commodity chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Tandem systems that could effect dehydrogenation of alkanes or alkyl groups, followed by a useful secondary reaction of the resulting olefin, offer potentially powerful routes to various products, while avoiding undesirable secondary reactions that can occur in simple alkane dehydrogenation systems. Under the auspices of "CENTC" (see below) and in collaboration with the group of Maurice Brookhart at UNC, we have developed one such system that effects the metathesis of alkanes. A potential application of this system is in the upgrading of Fischer-Tropsch alkane product mixtures to afford greater yields of C9-C19 n-alkanes, ultimately obtained from feedstocks such as coal or biomass. Known as "FT diesel", this comprises a transportation fuel that burns cleanly and gives ca. 35% greater mileage per ton CO2 emitted than gasoline.
Another tandem reaction discovered by our CENTC team is alkane aromatization. Remarkably this system converts n-alkanes to aromatics, under relatively mild conditions. This is the first homogeneous system reported for dehydroaromatization, and the first catalytic system of any type that converts higher n-alkanes to aromatics of the same carbon number (e.g. n-dodecane gives C12 n-alkyl aromatics).
C-H bond activation toward reactivity at sites other than the C-H bond
Oxidative addition and its reverse, reductive elimination, comprise perhaps the most important and distinctive class of reactions of transition metal based catalysts and reagents. While this class of reactions is critical for the catalytic transformations of many types of molecules, until now it appeared inaccessible with sp3-C-F and C-O bonds. Such bonds are of great interest in many contexts, ranging from pharmaceuticals to the conversion of biomass to fuels and chemicals.
Our lab has recently discovered the first example of oxidative addition of sp3-C-F bonds, an outgrowth of recent work on the novel addition of sp3-C-O bonds. Perhaps most interestingly, the reactions are found to proceed via an unprecedented pathway, in which the metal atom initially inserts into a carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bond in the molecule. This unusual pathway must also be operative for the reverse reaction, in which C-F or C-O bonds are formed.
In another surprising reaction we have found that C-H addition of an aromatic (tropone) results in nucleophilic activity at a remote site on that molecule. Oxidative addition of C-H bonds has been assumed to have great potential for the purpose of catalyzing functionalization in which there is an overall cleavage of the C-H bond. The discovery of these reactions highlights the possible applicability of C-H bond addition toward functionalization of various substrates, not necessarily at the site of the C-H bond cleavage.
Hydrocarbylation of olefins
A new target of our research is the "hydrocarbylation" of olefins. Like dehydrogenation, this reaction has a nearly unlimited number of potential applications ranging from natural gas liquefaction and petrochemical conversion to complex organic syntheses.
Computational organometallic catalysis
In addition to experimental approaches, ab initio molecular orbital calculations are conducted in collaboration with Prof. K. Krogh-Jespersen. This work has yielded new perspectives on the most fundamental aspects of organometallic chemistry such as the nature of the metal-CO bond or the process of C-H addition. We now believe that the power of computational chemistry has reached the point where the modification or even the de novo design of catalysts using MO calculations is entirely feasible; efforts in this direction are currently underway.
The Center for Enabling New Technologies through Catalysis (CENTC) is the first Center for Chemical Innovation funded by the National Science Foundation. CENTC comprises several catalysis-oriented university and government labs located across the country. Some of the work described above, as well as other projects in our lab, is conducted under the auspices of this center. Much of our research involves collaborations, but CENTC projects will give participating students particular opportunities to interact with other leading catalysis groups.

Air flow
A central air conditioner or a room air conditioner will lower indoor humidity levels during the cooling cycle.When an AC unit is oversized, it is possible the unit will cool but not dehumidify the air. A rule of thumb for air conditioning is to use 1 ton of cooling per 1,000 square feet of conditioned space. If your home has a cool, damp basement or an attached garage that is not conditioned by the home's AC unit, a dehumidifier can be used as a separate appliance.
Humidifiers may be necessary for homes in cool, dry regions of the country, but when improperly installed they can become a problem. A humidifier adds moisture to the home's conditioned air. Humidifiers create a damp, dark and warm environment, especially suited for the growth of mold spores, mildew, fungus and all kinds of unhealthy airborne contaminates.
Kitchen tips
Author and HGTV host Joan Kohn provides
budget-friendly ideas for improving your kitchen from her book, "It's Your Kitchen":
n Refinishing or replacing cabinet doors can make a huge improvement at a fraction of the cost of new cabinets. Noting that fine finishes cause cabinetry prices to soar, one shrewd home enthusiast I know recommends selecting less-expensive cabinets and then painting over the finish.
n Resist the temptation to fill all available wall space with cabinets. Buy only the cabinets you need. Don't build so many that you are forced to shop to fill them when the kitchen is complete.
n Real life makes any kitchen more beautiful, often at little or no extra cost. Plants and fresh flowers enrich any kitchen design. Books are also wonderful signs of life.
Late spring signals the arrival of special visitors - those flighty little jewels called hummingbirds. If you haven't put your hummingbird feeder out yet, you may want to do it in the next few days because those gorgeous birds will soon look for food and nesting sites.
Hummingbird experts recommend this recipe for your feeder: Use one part white cane sugar to four parts water. Some say boil the water, some say don't boil the water, so take your pick. Never use honey or artificial coloring.
Always keep the feeder clean because disease-causing mold appears quickly during hot weather. In addition to a feeder or two, fill your yard with plants that entice them. Although red flowers are supposed to attract them best, hummingbirds are enticed to many other colors, including blue, yellow and purple. Hummingbird flowers often have long tubes for the birds long bills and tongues.
Hummingbirds like to be around people and have no trouble flying close to where you sit, so put feeders and flowers close to where you can sit and enjoy them.
Their nests, on the other hand, are not easily seen because they are so small and in out-of-the-way places like a small tree branch 10 to 20 feet tall. Shaped like an open cup, the nest of a ruby-throated hummingbird is fashioned from thistle and dandelion down.

PIRATES 8, METS 4; Smith's Pitches Are Up, So the Mets Send Him Down
By BEN SHPIGEL
Published: July 27, 2007
Joe Smith's career has followed the opposite trajectory of his best pitch, the sinker. A blindingly quick ascent from a college closer to a minor league stopper to a spring training phenom earned him a job in the Mets' bullpen without facing the downs to balance the ups.
After playing a role in allowing the Pittsburgh Pirates' final three runs in their 8-4 victory against the Mets yesterday afternoon at Shea Stadium, Smith was optioned to Class AAA New Orleans, the first demotion of his professional career. He dressed quickly and received a few pep talks from teammates; the bullpen coach, Guy Conti; and the pitching coach, Rick Peterson, before he left. The only ups yesterday were his pitches and earned run average. The downs were his spirits and velocity.
''I know I was going through some struggles, obviously, but I didn't think I was going to be sent down,'' said Smith, whose earned run average rose to 3.03 after he allowed an earned run in a third of an inning.
General Manager Omar Minaya, who said he had been considering the move for a while, was convinced during the seventh inning when, with the Mets trailing by 5-2, Smith relieved Scott Schoeneweis with two outs and allowed three consecutive hits, permitting two inherited runners and one of his own to score. Since May 5, Smith has allowed 19 of his 27 inherited runners to score, a staggering 70.4 percent, and the worst mark in the majors. On July 18 in San Diego, he gave up the winning run in the eighth inning immediately after the Mets had staged a four-run comeback.
''You could tell he's not the same Joe Smith that he was earlier in the year,'' Minaya said.
That Smith did not allow his first major league run until May 12. That Smith was consistently throwing in the 90-mile-an-hour range with a few variations to his slider that kept hitters guessing. This Smith has allowed 13 runs since. This Smith is throwing around 86-87 m.p.h. with a flattened slider, evidence of mental and physical fatigue in the toughest season that he has ever experienced. He pitched 87 2/3 innings between college and the minors last season, which is nearly 40 more than his 38 2/3 innings with the Mets. But Smith has needed to adjust to the increased stress and travel of the majors, a more defined workout schedule and throwing more in the bullpen.
''I feel all right, I feel healthy,'' Smith said. ''It's more of an issue of my head getting in the way. There's nothing mechanically wrong.''
The Mets plan to curtail his innings at New Orleans with the expectation that he can recharge after a rest and potentially return before rosters expand Sept. 1. In the meantime, Smith's shaky outing yesterday underscored the Mets' need to upgrade the bullpen before Tuesday's 4 p.m. nonwaiver trade deadline.
Minaya would love to add the Nationals' 25-year-old closer, Chad Cordero, whom Minaya regularly compared Smith to during spring training.
Minaya took Cordero with his first draft pick as the Montreal general manager in 2003, and envisions him serving as the regular gateway to the Mets' closer, Billy Wagner.
But a player like Cordero, who is under the Nationals' control for the next two seasons, would not come cheaply; the Nationals would want several top prospects from the Mets.
Although the Mets are looking at second basemen and bullpen help, Minaya said he did not feel pressured to make a trade, the way he was last season, when Duaner S?hez's car accident in the early hours last July 31 forced him to make a deal that involved two principal figures in yesterday's game: Oliver P?z and Xavier Nady.
Facing his former team for the first time, P?z allowed one hit through five innings before making a crucial throwing error that led to five unearned runs in the sixth. P?z, who struck out nine, retired 11 consecutive hitters until Nate McLouth led off the inning with a broken-bat single.
Paul Maholm, who started and limited the Mets to three runs in six and two-thirds innings, reached on an infield single to bring up C?r Izturis, who put down a bunt that P?z fielded cleanly but launched over first baseman Carlos Delgado's head to score McLouth with the tying run.
''I got to the ball quickly,'' P?z said. ''Maybe I tried to throw too fast and that's why I threw it away.''
P?z retired the next two hitters before Nady, who possesses the powerful right-handed bat that the Mets have missed for the past year, ripped a sharp one-hopper that banked off the side of David Wright's right knee and toward the photographers' well for a two-run single.
''He almost killed me,'' Wright said of his good friend Nady. Then Josh Phelps hit a P?z pitch an estimated 395 feet for a home run to left-center field to extend the Pirates' lead to 5-1.
Those were the final runs scored by the Pirates until Smith trotted in from the bullpen.
How quickly Smith returns to the Mets depends on how he -- and his sinker -- rebound from his demotion after four largely solid but recently inconsistent months with the Mets.
With the demotion of Joe Smith, the Mets have another roster move to make in the next two days. They will need to free up spots to activate Mike Pelfrey, scheduled to start one game in tomorrow's doubleheader against Washington, and potentially outfielder Moises Alou, who told Omar Minaya yesterday that his shoulder was better. Minaya said the Mets might recall a pitcher, possibly jon adkins, to fill Smith's spot in the bullpen, or they could shift Pelfrey there after tomorrow's doubleheader. ... Outfielder Carlos Beltr?(strained left abdominal) was held out of the lineup for the second consecutive game, but Minaya said he did not expect the injury to warrant a stay on the disabled list.

An upgrade to iWork (s aapl) and iLife is almost guaranteed for Wednesday, so I thought I'd share my hopes for the software bundles. These aren't necessarily predictions. Instead, they're the things that kinda drive me nuts about the two suites and which I hope to see fixed.
iPhoto is my picture storage solution, especially now that I use Snow Leopard's Services to allow any app to pull images from iPhoto. This is very handy in PowerPoint; I have an event called Presentation Images: images I think are great to be used in presentations. PowerPoint can't access iPhoto on its own, but using Services, it can.
Ever since iPhoto went to the event-based storage system, though, it's been driving me nuts on imports. It's pretty rare I've gone to an actual event. Instead I end up taking a few pictures of something interesting on my iPhone. Instead of just automatically creating Events, I'd like to see some greater intelligence here. At the import screen I should be able to specify which photos actually are part of an event, and which should go into a slush pile I can sort out later.
I'd also like to see better integration with Flickr (s yhoo) and Facebook. I want iPhoto to go both ways, and also download any photos I've added to that set via Flickr or Facebook from other sources.
Like many people, I mourned when iMovie took away the timeline. iMovie '09 is a little better, but I'd still like to see it bridge the gap to Final Cut Express with better timeline integration.
I'd also like to see it become a better screencasting tool. Now that Snow Leopard can record my screen, I'd like to see them borrow some of the features of ScreenFlow and integrate them.
It's unlikely my biggest annoyance with Pages — the inability to quickly open a Word document, make a change, and save without needing to export — is likely to ever get changed due to how Pages handles importing and exporting. I can dream, though, and in my dream the process works much more smoothly.
One area I think Pages is seriously lacking in is academic uses. While Pages '09 introduced easier citation and equation management, those features require third-party add ons. Word 2011, due out Oct. 26, handles both of those in-app. Apple really shouldn't be slacking on features that could help it penetrate the education market even further.
Numbers often gets a bad rap because it's not Excel, but I've personally never hit many walls in Numbers. That said, I'm pretty much the app's target audience: someone who does light billing and spreadsheet work, or maybe needs to gussy up a chart for a presentation. That said, the biggest complaint I tend to run across from others who are more demanding with their spreadsheet software is "no pivot tables." So, um, go pivot tables?
I don't really have a big wish-list for Keynote, although PowerPoint 2011's layering feature would be very handy. The biggest problem I have with Apple's presentation tool isn't really with the desktop application; it's with handing off presentations to the iPad. I tend to use a lot of non-standard fonts in my presentations, which get completely mangled when I show them on the iPad. So, what I'd love in Keynote is the ability to save a version for the iPad that will properly display my fonts, let me drive the presentation, and make any last-minute changes.
Office for PC has one feature I've been longing for in iWork: the OLE framework, which makes it very easy to embed editable elements. So, I can drop an Excel table or chart into Word and be able to make changes to that. iWork would really benefit from better cross-app integration.
I don't think my demands are too extreme, but I also have little faith that we'll see many of these changes implemented, which is a shame, because in my opinion, these are the major problems holding the iSuites back from a user experience perspective, something Apple should be all about. If rumors are right, we'll see how far off the mark Apple is when iWork ships on Oct. 20.
What are you hoping for or expecting from updated iWork and iLife suites?

Most Popular New York--Departures by CEOs topped 100 for the seventh consecutive month, with dot-com CEOs leading the pack, according to the latest report from international executive search firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas Inc. Last month, 119 CEOs departed their jobs, a 37% increase from February 2000, when 87 CEO changes were recorded. The 24 dot-com CEO departures from the Web represented 20% of the monthly total. Since August, dot-com CEOs have accounted for 22% of the 812 CEO exits. In this article: BtoB


text: I was just at the mall trying to find the watch (Orange monster or the black version) from the earlier thread about indestructible watches. Apparently, there is not a watch in existence according to some dumb jewelry store personnel that has a bezel raised above the crystal. This one lady told me a sapphire crystal is indestructible. "Look at my Rolex, I've had this 13 years". Me: "Well, yeah, but it's not exactly a diving watch..." and you work at a jewelry store, not in all kinds of watch-destroying conditions. She outright contradicted me that I had broken a sapphire crystal. "Well, it sounds like you need to go to a higher quality watch then." Higher quality than you sell, maybe, yes. Anyway, I asked if one of them knew where in the mall I could look at some Tag Heuers (I said "Tahg Hoyer" as that is how it is spelled.) She made a point of correcting me, "Oh, a TAG". (for the Europeans reading, imagine she held her nose and then said "tag" as nasally as possible). Am I being wannabe-Eurotrash? Does the company Tag Heuer really mispronounce its own name, and I am wrong? Bleh. I left the mall with nothing, but I did manage to stump every watch seller in the whole place. "What did you say, a 'bevvel?'"

A public meeting is slated in Melrose to discuss public transit-oriented development near the Cedar Park and Highland commuter rail stations.
Planners from the Metropolitan Area Planning Council and the city will be on hand Wednesday to discuss the future of neighborhoods in the area of the two stops, which are located about a half of a mile apart along the Haverhill line.
The area is one of three commuter rail sections being reviewed by the planning council using a Sustainable Communities Grant. Areas in Beverly and Quincy are also being reviewed.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. on the second floor of the Milano Senior Center.

During the Republican presidential debates, candidate Herman Cain seemed at ease before the cameras dishing out his simplistic 9-9-9 tax plan to friendly audiences. But the longer Cain stands under the front-runner spotlight, the less prepared he looks.
Cain couldn't seem to settle on a policy toward abortion rights, a key issue for the GOP base, and when he finally did, it was the extreme position of no abortions under any circumstances. He also seems ill-prepared to respond to allegations that he sexually harassed women when he was an executive with a restaurant industry trade group. This kind of scrutiny comes with running for high office. But Cain is a political amateur, and the more he talks, the more it shows.
Cain's success in the polls has come despite the candidate's penchant for making provocative statements that he then retracts, such as one calling for an electrified fence along the Mexican border to stop illegal immigration.
But his flip-flops on abortion policy have gotten the most attention because of the importance of the issue to evangelical voters who make up a large part of the Republican primary and caucus voting bloc. In a recent CNN interview, Cain said the government should not interfere with a woman's decision to have an abortion in the case of rape or incest. But he has since clarified his position, saying he opposes abortion in all cases, even when a woman is impregnated through rape or incest or when the mother's life is in danger if she continues the pregnancy.
This no-exceptions position means Cain is willing to sacrifice the life of a woman for that of her growing fetus. Presumably he would seek to change federal law to reflect that noxious view and nominate justices to the U.S. Supreme Court with similar sympathies. That would make Cain a dangerous candidate for American women and civil liberties.
Cain has also called for the federal defunding of Planned Parenthood, claiming its founder Margaret Sanger put birth-control clinics in minority neighborhoods as a form of "planned genocide" to kill unborn black babies — a claim that PolitiFact Georgia rated Pants on Fire. This hostility to Planned Parenthood and its vital work making birth control accessible is another insight into the damage a Cain presidency would do to women's reproductive health rights.
Cain is now facing allegations that he sexually harassed at least two female employees when he headed the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s. Cain claims the accusations are "totally baseless and false" and that he had no knowledge of any settlements paid to the women to keep quiet. But if there is a kernel of truth here, it will not be so easy for Cain to dismiss.
Cain's campaign has had to grapple with the political newcomer's many missteps, but when the candidate finally makes himself clear, his answers can be extreme and are too hostile to women. Cain's star has risen quickly, but it's not beyond burning out.

October 15, 2001
Scott Breon is definitely feeling the economic pinch. The owner-operator from State College, Pa., reported that load availability is down and his deadhead miles are up. He's seen rates going west drop as low as 65 cents. Fuel is expensive. So are some other costs, like taxes and tolls."I think $30 to cross the George Washington Bridge is a little far-fetched," he said, "especially when they're not maintaining the road surface."At least Breon is still trucking. Owner-operators are often the first – and hardest – hit by high fuel costs and economic downturns. This time was no different. Thousands have parked their trucks. Before it's over, still more will walk away.Breon says he's surviving by tightening his belt. When he saw freight rates fall in some areas, he re-negotiated the lease contract with is carrier, switching from percentage of revenue to a set mileage rate.He's saving fuel by driving slower, watching tire pressure, and letting the truck idle only when high humidity makes it impossible to sleep without air conditioning. He shops for cheaper fuel ("if there is such a thing") and the most economical places to get service on his truck.Pearl and Stan Vos, Branson, Mo., took a bolder step. Some 18 months ago, when the company they were leased to went broke, the couple got their own operating authority.Stan said business was slow at first, then they "lucked" into a regular run that many other truckers had turned down. He said he'd rather not disclose the details, but explained that the load requires extra work but pays well enough to offset the deadhead if they can't find anything coming back. They've also found some local runs that pay well because mileage is low."We're shooting for the best per-mile dollar rather than high miles," he explained, "and we keep our deadhead mileage down."This is an excerpt from "Outlook 2002: The Hard Climb Back" in the October issue of Heavy Duty Trucking.

Marina police arrested four women Sunday after an undercover prostitution operation with police agents posing as customers.
Police weren't releasing the location, but said the arrests were made at a hotel.
Cmdr. Robert Nolan said the operation was put together after complaints about prostitution activity from Marina hotel operators.
"We wanted to prevent it from being a bigger problem," he said Monday.
Police Cpl. Justine Hamer said: "It is unique for us. It is the first time in a long time we have had this type of operation."
A Salinas police officer assisted, she said.
Prostitution is widespread "around the Peninsula, especially when we have a lot of people at events," Hamer said.
Two of the women were booked into the Monterey County Jail on misdemeanor prostitution charges. Another, Lameshia Johnson, 31, of Sacramento was booked on an outstanding felony warrant, police said. The fourth suspect, Diana Neyens, 28, of Salinas was booked on drug possession and prostitution charges.

A concern many have with the integrity of cloud data is the ability to easily recover deleted files. Microsoft's SkyDrive recently added a new feature to make it easier for customers to retrieve deleted files, as reported
on the Inside SkyDrive blog:
SkyDrive already keeps previous versions of your Office documents automatically. But students, in particular, have asked for a way to recover any file—even those deleted by accident, by someone else, during a group project. So, we've added a recycle bin to SkyDrive.
I'm going to start by showing you how we've made deleting files better. Prior to this release, when you deleted anything in SkyDrive you had to acknowledge and dismiss a warning dialog. This extra step got in the way of making delete as fast as it should be. Now, when you delete an item, we simply tell you that we did it and allow you to "undo" your action:
We think this will make deleting even faster and easier. However, if you have deleted something already, from any SkyDrive app, we're now giving you a recycle bin that will work very similarly to what you're used to on your PC. You can get to the recycle bin from a link in the bottom left side of SkyDrive.
From there you can browse your recycle bin in thumbnail or details view.
It's easy to select items to restore back to their original location, as well as see when the item was deleted. And file and folder selection works just like it does in the rest of SkyDrive.
Items in the recycle bin do not count against your SkyDrive storage limit. We save all items you delete in the recycle bin for at least 3 days. If the content in your recycle bin gets large enough to exceed 10% of your storage limit (which will be pretty rare), we'll start to delete the oldest content (after it's been there 3 days), and will permanently remove items from the recycle bin after they have been there for 30 days (and not restored).

Dear Fellow Barbz,
Today i've got some great news and bad news but i'll let you read on before hand.
"Super Bass" rapper Minaj was accused of starting a war with Azalea — whose "Fancy" has become the hit of summer — at the BET Awards last month by criticizing her younger rival for using a ghostwriter.
Minaj, 31, denied the dig was aimed at the 24-year-old star from Down Under. But Azalea's man tells [email protected] he's not so sure he believes her.
"Iggy is doing big things and that is what is scaring people," Lakers star Nick Young said on Tuesday at the Body at ESPYs party celebrating ESPN Magazine's sixth annual Body Issue. "She is going to brush it off. She won't let it get to her. She is number one — what can you do? She's at the top right now, so of course they are going to come at you."
It looks like Iggy hasn't let it go, Minaj has no reason to lie to Azalea but she has chosen to believe not.In her acceptance speech for Best Female Hip Hop Artist at the June 29 ceremony, Trinidadian star Minaj said: "What I want the world to know about Nicki Minaj is when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it."
The remark was widely assumed to be a dig at Azalea, but the former "X Factor" judge dismissed that idea, tweeting that "The media puts words in my mouth all the time and this is no different," adding that she had "congratulated Iggy on the success of Fancy, publicly."
Whether Minaj meant it as a slight or not, the fallout from the episode was very real. At
the time, Azalea said she was "unbothered by anything that 'happened' at the BET awards." But Young says that's not quite the whole story.
The relationship has meant some stress for Young — when the two are going out for a night on the town.
"It takes four or five hours for her to get ready," he told us. "I get on the computer and watch TV. For women, it takes them forever. They got to do a lot — hair, make up, earrings, and they go through four or five outfits."
Well, you don't get to be that fancy without putting a little work in.
What do you think about this?

The problem of some ammunition damaging a Garand is not due to chamber pressure, its due to excessive gas port pressure caused by useof very slow burning powders, that mostly with bullets exceeding 150 grains.
The Garand was originally intended to handle both M1 and M2 Ball but they found it operated best with M2 Ball.
They also went to single base powders almost exclusively for .30-06 Ball before WW2. Single base powders gave a lower gas port pressure, so the gas port was sized for that propellent which made it a hair over sized for the higher port pressure of double base powders. The same situation caused failures of the M16 when excessive gas port pressures over stressed the mechanism.
Some matchgrade 7.62 will cause problems with some FN FAL rifles for the same reasons, excessive gas port pressure causing early opening while the case is still fully expanded and held tight to the chamber walls, causing rims to be bent or torn off by the extractor.
With the Garand its more likely to bend or break the operating rod.

SANTA ANA – A judge ruled Wednesday that TV cameras and newspaper photographers will not be permitted during the upcoming trial of Andrew Thomas Gallo, who allegedly drove drunk and caused a collision that killed three occupants of the other car and critically injured a fourth.
The dead included Nick Adenhart, a rookie pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Orange County Superior Court Judge Richard Toohey says he may revisit the issue for the verdict or sentencing.
Pre-trial motions began Wednesday, with jury selection and opening statements still a couple of weeks away.
Gallo, 23, of San Gabriel, is charged with three counts of second-degree murder and several other serious felonies in what is expected to be one of the most closely watched trials of the year in Orange County.
Gallo is accused of causing a high-speed, alcohol-fueled crash in Fullerton on April 8, 2009 that claimed the lives of Adenhart, 22, an up-and-coming rookie pitcher, Courtney Stewart, a 20-year-old student and former cheerleader at Cal State Fullerton, and Henry Pearson, a 25-year-old law student working toward a career as a sports agent.
Deputy District Attorney Susan Price said jury selection is not expected to start until Sept. 13, with opening statements maybe getting under way the following week.
The trial before Toohey could last as long as four weeks.
Defense attorney Jacqueline Goodman's last-minute motion to have the trial transferred elsewhere because of the celebrity of the case and what she contends was adverse pre-trial publicity still is pending review by the state Supreme Court.
Two other requests by Gallo's attorneys for a change of venue were shot down by lower courts.
"Thus far, we have no indication of whether (the Supreme Court) is going to grant review," Price said Tuesday.
Gallo is accused of blasting through a red light in his Toyota Sienna minivan after seven hours of drinking with his step-brother, broadsiding Stewart's Eclipse as it was passing through a green light. At the time, Gallo had a suspended license because of a prior drunken driving conviction.
Adenhart was killed just hours after pitching six shut-out innings in an Angels' victory at Anaheim Stadium, a few miles from the crash site. A fourth person in Stewart's car, John Wilhite, 24, suffered an "internal decapitation" but survived.
If convicted, Gallo could be sentenced to 50 years to life in prison.

I have a question regarding this sight, actually ,technically not a bomar sight but the Les Baer adjustable sight (which is basically the same thing.) My question is two-fold: one, how, if its at all possible, do you remove the actual sight (the flat plate with the sight notch that slides in the unit) from the entire sight unit? The reason why I want to do this brings me to my next question... I want to swap out the sight with rear sights of different widths to find which one I like the best. I obviously don't want to go out and buy 3 or four different bomar sight units but I'd like to get just the sights themselves . My second question is do they make just the sights and if so do they come in different widths?
okay 3 questions...sorry ;)

BROOKSVILLE — A man accused of robbing a bank on Monday has told investigators he took part in an armed robbery of a beauty salon earlier in the week, authorities said.
Demetrio Crespo, 42, of Spring Hill, was arrested Monday in connection with robbing the Bank of America branch at 7184 Mariner Blvd. On Wednesday, an arrest report states, he admitted to authorities that he helped with the Saturday robbery of the High Point Beauty Salon on Cortez Boulevard.
Authorities say that Crespo and Raymond Dawson, 23, of Spring Hill, stole $300 from the salon. Dawson, a report states, went into the business wearing a mask and carrying a .38-caliber pistol. After grabbing cash from a register, he fled and the store's video surveillance camera showed him getting into a Ford Explorer driven by Crespo.
Crespo told authorities that he and Dawson committed the robbery to feed their drug habit, the report states. He added that they chose the salon at random after driving around for some time.

Adopting Buffett's very-long term perspective can help individual investors focus on what is important, says Morningstar's Paul Larson.
Video Transcript
Jeremy Glaser: For Morningstar, I'm Jeremy Glaser. We're gearing up for the 2012 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting. I'm here today with chief equity strategist, Paul Larson; he is also the editor of Morningstar StockInvestor. We'll take a look at Warren Buffett's sell strategy and if it makes sense for individual investors to adopt the same strategy.
Paul, thanks for joining me?
Paul Larson: Thanks for having me.
Glaser: So, Warren Buffett wrote in his letter this year and he has talked several times before that often there are businesses that might not be his favorite anymore or things have really fallen out of favor, but he chooses not to sell them for whatever reason. Could you talk a little bit about his thought process when it comes to almost never exiting the investment?
Larson: When you're looking at the private businesses that Berkshire owns, where they are going to own the businesses in their entirety, Berkshire is going to have a different strategy with those businesses than it is with the publicly traded securities that it also owns. So, maybe we can segment into two areas.
Regarding the private businesses that Berkshire owns in their entirety, its strategy there is to almost never sell. And the reason for that is Berkshire views that as a competitive advantage when it is going out and actually buying the businesses because the pitch to the business owners when Berkshire is looking to buy a business is that if you've created this business over a long period of time, many decades in many instances, and you are looking to potentially sell it, you want to make sure that you're handing that business over to someone who is going to act as a very good steward of that business.
And Buffett has said that Berkshire Hathaway is a fantastic home for these businesses, and Berkshire not going to act like a lot of other private equity shops and go in and basically maximize the amount of cash that they can extract from the business. They are basically going to leave the business alone, let the checks get sent to up to Omaha, Neb., so to speak, and that's pretty much all that they are going to do.
So, Berkshire's strategy, again, with the private businesses is to almost never sell even though as you pointed out, some of those businesses, perhaps such as some of the newspaper investments or some of the other consumer-related investments that were made 20 or 30 years ago, have not worked out and probably would be sold if Warren Buffett had the opportunity.
Glaser: But they are small enough to the general-picture Berkshire Hathaway, that he feels like the reputational effect of selling would be worse than necessarily the small cash gain he might get from exiting the business?
Larson: Exactly, because if Berkshire were to exit the business maybe it might save $5 million or $10 million in value by doing that. But then that is going to hamper the firm on their future returns, which are potentially much larger.
Glaser: So, most individuals aren't out there buying and selling private companies, but they are up buying marketable securities. Obviously, Berkshire has a relatively big investment portfolio. What Buffett's thinking around those, kind of, investments? How does he decide when it's time to exit?
Larson: Well, those particular investments are actually run both by Buffett as well as investment managers. He started to hand the reins over to Ted Weschler as well as Todd Combs, and it's been that way for awhile where there has been multiple people that have been running those publicly traded portfolios. But regarding those investments, he still has a very long-term outlook, but the managers are willing to trim those investments once they hit a valuation that the managers deem appropriate for selling.
So, you are going to get higher turnover in that publicly traded portfolio, but it's still very low turnover, somewhere around 10% or something like that.
Glaser: So, then what's the lesson for people who are managing much smaller amounts of money and who don't have the insurance float that that's been obviously spun off by Berkshire? What makes sense for a holding period? When should investors know to either cut their losses or take their gains off the table?
Larson: I think that there is certainly value in having a long-term perspective because it does force you to focus on the things that are indeed most important in the investment. That is the long-term competitive positioning and how much cash the business is going to throw off over long periods of time. Those are the things that you get focused on when you have an investment horizon that is quite long. You're not worried so much about the next quarter's earnings and whether the company is going to beat or miss by a penny. And I think the real lesson is that there is value in having that long-term perspective.
Glaser: Paul, thanks so much for your thoughts. We're looking forward to hearing from you on Saturday, May 5 at the Berkshire meeting.
Larson: I am looking forward to going again.
Glaser: For Morningstar, I'm Jeremy Glaser.

Hi, I am in my early 40's have sun damaged skin and am planning to have PDT soon. I am also considering having fractional ablative laser after to deal with my many fine lines and wondered how many weeks/months between treatments are recommended? Also how many treatments are usually given? How safe fractional ablative laser is (clinic has great reviews)? If I should avoid Retinal A and the pill whilst having laser? How many weeks post laser is it safe to have derma roller? Many thanks
PDT Derma Roller and Fractional Ablative Laser Combination. What Is Normal Treatment Time and How Safe?
Doctor Answers 1
PDT derma roller and fractional ablative laser
Dear Patient,
I would recommend a month between your fractional ablative therapy and PDT and Derma roller. Fractional ablative laser is generally a safe procedure if it is used by an expert laser surgeon. You can discuss potential side effects with the surgeon when planning therapy. It will depend upon you skin type, amount of sun damage, and treatment goals, to determine amount of treatments you will need. Usually it takes three treatments spaced every couple of months to reach ideal results in rejuvenation. You should hold your Retin A cream one week before and after your laser and/or PDT therapies.
Good luck.

Fiber is the community-service director of the major food groups-it's not a sexy job, but it sure does do great things. It's largely indigestible as it passes through the digestive tract intact. Found solely in plant foods, fiber contains no calories but makes you feel full, which helps control overeating.
Most importantly, it helps keep digested food bulky and soft-so it's easy to pass through the colon. It makes it easier for the food to move through your intestines without much pressure being placed along your tubing. And that's important for avoiding such things as diverticulitis and hemorrhoids.
Both kinds of fiber-insoluble fiber and soluble fiber-are good for you.
Insoluble fiber doesn't easily dissolve in water and is not broken down by intestinal bacteria. (This type doesn't lower your cholesterol but still has an effect on your digestive system.) It's found in grapefruit, oranges, grapes, raisins, dried fruit, sweet potatoes, peas and zucchini-but especially in whole-wheat or whole-grain bread (it has to be whole grain, not five- or six-grain, to have enough fiber).
Soluble fiber dissolves in water; it regulates metabolism and digestion and stabilizes blood glucose levels. And it's mostly found in grains such as oats, barley, and rye, legumes such as beans, peas, and lentils, and some cereals.
Eating 25 grams of fiber a day can give you a RealAge effect of being as much as three years younger than that of a person who only eats 12 grams a day (the average for American adults). Plus, one study showed that a 10-gram increase in the daily intake of fiber decreases the risk of heart attack by 29 percent-and makes you 1.9 years younger.


text: Twenty years ago, I had dermabrasion for vertical lip lines. One line was "erased" forever. There is now a small indentation where it used to be. I have tried everything else over the years, to fill the remaining lines, which have deepened, of course, with age. The last time, my doctor tried something (Sculptesse, maybe) that cost $1000. It didn't do significantly more than other treatments. Is there anything better you can recommend?

The real issue with idle in transaction isn't locking so much. A simple idle in transaction that just ran a select * from table limit 1; will have made it so that vacuum cannot reclaim space that it normally could until that transaction is committed or rolled back. So it's much worse than simple locking of a few records, it's causing your data store to bloat with all the otherwise reclaimable space since that transaction began. Let it run for a day or a week and a busy database will be expanding until it's slow and possibly running out of space.

It's been just over five years since the Canyons School District officially began operations of the Jordan School District, of which it had previously been a part. There are many lessons to be learned from that experience, and those who remember the past would recognize that breaking away from an existing district is an arduous undertaking that should only be done under exceptional circumstances.
Recently, a handful of elected officials were calling for the Jordan School District to be divided even further, but, thankfully, cooler heads prevailed. The Jordan District looks like it will remain intact for the time being. However, the challenges that served as the catalyst for district-splitting discussions still remain, and they require immediate attention. The state needs to find ways to ensure that Utah's educational system is equipped to serve the needs of all of Utah's students, regardless of the school district in which they find themselves.
The most recent call for a break-up was driven largely by financial concerns. Last year, the district made a $495 million bond request to build new schools to accommodate a flood of new students. Many considered that to be a significant overreach, which is likely why the request failed. But equalization funds that were granted to the Jordan District in the wake of the Canyons split will dry up in 2016, and the district is scrambling to find ways to compensate for that loss. A bill that would have extended those equalization funds for another four years was defeated in committee in the last legislative session. Local lawmakers argue that increased local control will be necessary if the likely tax increases necessary to fund those schools will be borne primarily by local residents.
What's interesting to note, however, is that some opponents of SB91, the bill that would have extended the Jordan District equalization fund sunset into 2020, were critical of the measure not because it ended equalization payments, but because it would postpone dealing with this challenge on a statewide basis. "We need to step back and solve the larger problem," state Sen. Aaron Osmond told the Senate Education Committee. He insisted that it's time to "put on our statewide hats and come up with a solution to address this problem on a more macro-level."
He's exactly right.
Canyons District broke away from the Jordan District because residents wanted to see their property taxes funding their local schools rather than subsidizing poorer neighborhoods. But public education ought to provide equal services to children of all income levels, and the only way to do that is to find ways to equalize school funding statewide, not district by district. Doing so will require a great deal of effort and innovation, but just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's not the right thing to do.

THE discovery of three rare lichens in a Stroud cemetery has got experts rummaging through their record books and putting on their wellies to investigate.
Stroud Town Council's cemetery management plan has thrown up a study showing that an eminent lichenologist found the three growing in Bisley Road churchyard but national records show no trace.
Using national archives going back about 100 years Gloucester Lichen Group has been unable to find a note of Sarcogyne privigna and other lichens ever being found at Bisley Road Cemetery and they say its presence would be unusual.
The study was undertaken in 1997 by the late Tom Chester, an outstanding lichenologist who instigated the British Lichen Society's lowland churchyard project in the early 1990s.
Juliet Bailey, secretary of the group and recorder of lichens for the Gloucestershire Naturalists' Society, said: "It's a rare species that usually only occurs in Scotland. We don't have it down on our records but if the study was done by Tom Chester it's not likely to be wrong, he was the doyen of churchyard studies."
Juliet said she planned to explore the cemetery herself with fellow lichenologists to see if the species can be re-found.
"You cannot be sure that the rarities will still be there.
They could well be, but lichens are very sensitive to their environment so could disappear with, for example, a bush growing up and shading them, snails grazing them off, tombstones starting to lean so the lichen become sheltered from the rain or exposed to the rain, all sorts of things."
Juliet said the 96 different types of lichen found on Mr Chester's study was an 'outstanding' record. The report states only two other cemeteries recorded a higher diversity at the time.
Another two, Porpidia soredizoides and Psilolechia leprosa, are also cited as 'nationally scarce' and 16 more were deemed uncommon.
"These three species are actually rather dull to look at," she said. "Some of the very common ones are extraordinary and much prettier.
Lichens are very small and such things can pass you by but you get to know where to look and when you do it's absolutely amazing, it's gloriously colourful, there's an incredible display of psychedelic glory right under our feet."
Jeremy Doe, the senior ecologist at Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust who compiled the Management Plan said churchyards such as Bisley Road offered rich pickings including glow worms and slow worms.
He said: "Churchyards are good places to go because you don't have to have access permissions and you can wander around and take your time.
They're not farmland which has been intensively managed and they're protected from development so you'll see lots of rare things that you wouldn't find unless you go looking."
Volunteers from the Stroud Valleys Project recently cleared ivy from the old tombstones to encourage the lichen to grow.

A couple of hours of fishing on the Provo River in mid-April were enough to convince her to make a financial investment in her new-found hobby.
"I loved it!" Ramsey said of a fly-fishing class offered last month in Park City, meant to introduce women to the sport. "I drove straight from the river and bought my own gear."
Ramsey was one of about 30 women who turned out for a free class offered by Trout Unlimited, High Country Fly Fishers and Jans Outfitters. The three-day class included an introduction, a session on casting and a fishing trip to the Provo River.
"Trout Unlimited has many facets," said Bob Dibblee, president of the Utah State Council of Trout Unlimited, who organized the class. "One of the things we do on a local level is to promote fly fishing. We also do a lot of river restoration and work on legislative issues."
Dibblee said he began fly fishing about 15 years ago, after his son got hooked on the sport.
"I've always enjoyed fishing," he said. "I call (fly fishing) the crack cocaine of fishing. It's just a very exciting way of fishing. It's a bit more technical. I really, really enjoy it."
Dibblee and the other members of Trout Unlimited met with the women on a Wednesday night. About two-thirds of the prospective anglers had never fished, and most were looking for something enjoyable to do outdoors.
"I like the catch-and-release, and I really just like being out in nature," Ramsey said, noting some of the wildlife she saw on her brief outing. "This is great for me."
The first thing prospective anglers should understand is that there is more to fishing than throwing some bait in the water.
"Fly fishermen get to know more about entomology," said Larry Culley, a guide for Jans Outfitters. "Every day out there is different. That's the wonderful thing about fly fishing ... And it's always rewarding."
In fact, fly fishermen swear that catching fish is not a requirement to having a good time.
"I don't know of anyone who can have a bad day on the river, even if they're trying," said Culley.
The theory of those who already love the sport is simple: Try it; you'll love it.
Dibblee said they offer this classes to men and women, but they usually teach them separately. He said the sponsors occasionally get questions about whether or not husbands or boyfriends can come along.
"We say, 'No, this is just for the ladies,' " he said.
That allows the women to focus on learning some new skills, rather than trying to please their partners.
What most of the women found, whether they'd fished in the past or not, is that fly fishing is as much about the river or lake's ecology as it is about landing fish.
In the introductory class, the women were told that understanding what bugs were swimming and squirming around a waterway was an important clue to catching any fish. The women learned to "read the water."
"We look for seams," Larry said. "Fast water equals a lot of food. We look for transitions ... We call them seams. The most abundance of life is where there is diversity."
A day later, the women met to try their hands at casting. Not as easy as it looked for most of the women.
"Casting is about timing and finesse, not brute force," Culley advised.
Ramsey said the patience and help of those long-time anglers who helped out during the class made it much easier to learn.
"It was okay," she said. "I don't know that I am a natural at casting, but they had a great one-on-one or one-on-two, and they explained everything. Those men who volunteered their time to go out with us, they were wonderful. They were patient, and they really had a passion for fly fishing."
Carol Wexler, who retired to Park City from San Diego, said the class was interesting, but the sport required some commitment.
"It's definitely a skill," she said. "You really need to work on it. I'm glad it did it; it was a lot of fun."
Wexler said that if she can find some friends to go with, she'll continue to hone her own skills.
"You can do it at any age," she said.
And that's exactly what Dibblee and company want people to understand. Unlike many sports, taking up fly fishing is something anyone can do — at any age.
"We have another class, this one for men," said Dibblee. "I don't know how it's going to go. Men kind of have a tendency to just go out on their own."
The men's class is Wednesday through Friday this week, and anyone interested can call Bill Kulsman at 435-649-4410. The men's class is sponsored by Trout Unlimited and Trout Bum 2.
Dibblee said teaching others how to fly fish is almost as much fun as casting his own line.
"I really get a kick out of trying to teach them," he said. "Our goal is just to get others interested in fishing."
The strategy hooked Ramsey, who had another fishing date on Monday.
"They got me," she said laughing. "I love it."
