Preparing For Dental Implants? How To Alleviate The Discomfort Associated With Bone Graft Surgery
If you're going to be undergoing the dental implant procedure, your dentist may recommend bone grafting prior to the implantation process. This is particularly true if you've suffered severe bone loss due to periodontitis. Bone grafting ensure that you'll have sufficient bone density to hold your implants securely in place. Once you've had your bone graft surgery, the new bone will need time to mesh with your existing bone. Following the bone graft surgery, you'll need some time to recover. Here are some steps you can take to alleviate some of the common post-operative discomfort.
Calm Your Nausea
After surgery, it's not uncommon to experience some light nausea. Unfortunately, nausea can be quite uncomfortable, especially following any type of oral surgery. You want to keep your stomach as calm as possible. To calm your stomach and reduce the symptoms of nausea, try sipping on clear sodas, or sports drinks. Sip them slowly to alleviate some of the distress you'll be experiencing. You can also try taking small bites of ice cream, or other soft, cool foods. If your nausea doesn't subside after about a day, you should notify your dentist.
Avoid Dizziness
Following surgery, you may experience some dizziness when you stand up, or move too quickly. Unfortunately, dizziness can lead to accidents, especially if you're alone after surgery. To reduce the occurrence of dizziness, try resting for as much as possible after surgery. When getting up from a lying down position, sit up slowly, and then rest for a few minutes before standing up. It's also a good idea to have someone near by for at least the first day after surgery.
Relieve Muscle Tightness
Your jaw muscles are going to be tight after surgery. That's because your mouth will have been held open during the surgery. To relieve the tight muscles, try applying ice packs for the first few hours after surgery. Be sure to place a wash cloth between your skin and the ice pack. You can also switch between heating pads and ice packs if you'd prefer. The heating pads, and ice packs will also help reduce swelling and bruising.
Beware of Infection
After you've had your bone graft surgery, you'll need to beware of infection. Without proper care, you can develop an infection in your gums where the grafting has taken place. Some of the signs you'll need to watch for include high fever, increased pain, or a yellowish discharge from the surgical site. If you notice any of those signs, you'll need to notify your dentist immediately.

"We are building our new home which is 8000 sq ft. We bought all our light fixtures, all the plumbing fixtures and kitchen appliances from Ferguson in Memphis TN. They are very professional and thorough in their business dealing. If there was any change of order or price, they dealt with it professionally. The prices were great as well! At first we were under the impression that Ferguson was an expensive store , but it completely changed once they price matched everything. Overall we would give them an A+."

God Of War [PS4] – My Impressions + Minor Update (No Spoils)
Welcome to yet another impression, and this time it's with a game that has been dominating the review front as of late.
I have spent a little over a week on this game and have finally beaten it. Taylor has also beaten it so I'll be adding a few comments and impressions from him in this post as well. There will also be no spoilers in the game since I feel as though spoiling would absolutely ruin this game for anyone new or old to the series. So is Kratos a better character now? Is God Of War still relevant to our modern day? Let's find out…
The Sins Of Kratos – Analyzing The Titular God Of War Character
Hello there! Welcome to a relatively special post. With the next installment of the God Of War franchise nearly here, it helps to look back at what this character has gone through in the previous multitude of games.
However, this look at his past will not focus just on story elements (to an extent), but rather all the wrong-doings that have transpired by the rage and bleeding blades of this infamous ghost of sparta. While Kratos may not believe himself to be the villain of his own tale, he cannot deny that he has done far worse than most villains in media. Read the rest of this entry
GBHorror2017: Why Bloodborne Is A Masterpiece Horror-Themed Game
Welcome to another Halloween post! We are right at the halting end of the Halloween year, and now I get to write about something that I've been waiting to do for a long time. This is a game that was created by the company "From Software", famously known for the Dark Souls series, and is an exclusive on the Playstation 4. Bloodborne is one of my all time favorite games, easily top ten, and there are many reasons why I love this game so much. Fortunately a lot of my love can be neatly explained in this Halloween related post! So let me explain a number of reasons why I think this game, while not an exact horror game, is an excellent horror-themed game… Read the rest of this entry

In this post Dean Levitt guides us through the basics of using Adwords and gives useful tools to make the most of the process.
You can increase the profits of your web business by adding paid marketing services. Sure, offering Search Engine Optimization, on page and off, is a common value add for many web design businesses, but more marketers and web professionals are turning to AdWords; the PPC king of the internet.
Marketing on Google is complex and holds challenges to some and impossibilities to others, but agencies are still choosing to offer this service. Why? As baffling as this strategy can be, its margins of profitability are limitless for both clients and agencies. It's easier than you think. Let's find out why.
Before we dive right into it, I wanted to offer you a few resources that could help. We created these specifically for web professionals who are offering AdWords as a service. Download them to get started on the right path of your AdWords journey.
Calculate your AdWords budget automatically! This spreadsheet will help you determine two important numbers: estimating ROI and the minimum budget.
Download: AdWords Budget Calculator
Curious how much to charge clients for your AdWords services? Here is a fee structure that we recommend for those offering PPC marketing.
Download: AdWords Pricing/Fee Structure
What AdWords tasks really need to be monitored every day, week and month? Here's a checklist that breaks down what you need to do and when.

Impress clients with your AdWords services and expertise. Use our AdWords proposal template to help get you started on your own contract and offering.
Download: AdWords Client Proposal Template
Why should you offer AdWords as a Service?
Offering AdWords services can open new doors for your web business. First, it allows you to grow who you are as a business and evolve your offering. Who doesn't love, or need, a change of pace? Learn a new skill and build your brand to prove to the world that you're a market leader. Next, you can appeal to new clients and impress current customers. If you offer other digital marketing services, AdWords is a perfect compliment for those SEO services and social media management. If you don't yet offer any digital marketing, AdWords can be a great gateway. AdWords compliments website or SEO packages and can act as an easy add-on to your menu. New revenue requires new revenue channels!
However the most important justification for offering AdWords services is the steady, recurring revenue stream that it creates. We're here to improve profitability, right? With proven results and positive ROI, AdWords campaigns build and grow in size and budgets. The more time ads can run, the more data you can use to drive real leads and sales to your clients.
How do you begin offering AdWords?
Starting a new sector of your company can seem overwhelming at first, but let's break it down into actionable steps.
Get your AdWords Certification
Becoming an AdWords expert is the first step in this journey. Assuming you don't have it already, head over to Google's Academy for Ads to enroll in the free AdWords certification program. This consists of a two-part course and passing two exams. This online academy also offers many other courses for additional learning. If your agency isn't a certified Google Partner, this is another stamp of approval to consider. Having an official partner badge on your website will help deter any doubts in your abilities.
Construct Your Pricing Plan
Good news! As an agency, freelancer, or other web pro business, AdWords services can easily be integrated into your existing offering. AdWords is strong enough to stand alone, but can easily become an add-on to an existing monthly package. Because of the time-consuming nature of the channel, we recommend charging no less than $150/month. As your client's budget grows, so can your margins. Start by charging 10-15% of the monthly budget as your fees. Just be clear with your client whether this sum is taken out of the budget, or added on top, both are common models. You wouldn't want to deliver any short results because they were not clear how the budget was allocated! To clarify things, here is a pricing structure we put together.
Pitch the Right Clients
Any business looking to grow is a candidate for AdWords. However if you're just starting out, try choosing clients who are responsive and ready for traffic. Start by pitching clients who already do Facebook or other online paid advertising since they're accustomed to results of PPC marketing (and conversions of how to find your clients' competitive keywords? Try a tool like SpyFu or SEMRush to find those and more data.
When you pitch the client, be sure to provide them a well thought out proposal. You probably already have one for your web business, so add in some paragraphs about your new AdWords offering. You can use our sample proposal to get you started.
AdWords Time Management
The final step of rolling out your new AdWords offering is determining how you're going to manage it all. PPC marketing with Google is a time consuming channel that takes daily monitoring and frequent reports and optimizations. There are certain tasks that require daily, weekly, or monthly attention. We broke down common PPC duties in this checklist. Luckily, there are plenty of automation softwares that make AdWords management feasible for those with other full-time duties – like Teacup that even offers a referral program for web professionals. With a low, fixed monthly rate, you can still clear a solid margin above your cost for help.
How can you offer PPC services without becoming a marketing agency?
For those who want to offer AdWords but not other digital marketing streams, have no fear. It's easy to dip your feet without diving into a full suite of marketing products. While social media, email marketing, content marketing, SEO, and other online marketing avenues can nicely compliment your AdWords efforts, there is no need to offer these additional services. If your clients question your decision, tell them you choose to master PPC marketing and explain how AdWords is truly a package in itself. AdWords is much more analytical whilst other channels require other skill sets like writing, graphic design, or content creation.
Another concern that comes with AdWords is time. If you're dedicating time to Adwords, are you losing it in other places? If staff and resources are limited, allocating time to a new stream is risky. You can still offer AdWords without dedicating hours per day. How? Using an automation tool to assist, like Teacup.
We find the real time-suck in AdWords are the many (but unavoidable) "housekeeping" tasks. Outsourcing these duties, like ad monitoring, reporting, and other daily measures lets you focus on the big picture like strategy and keyword research.
The Bottom Line of Adding AdWords
You don't need to become a marketing agency to increase profitability like one. Expand your own skill sets as a web professional by becoming an AdWords expert and reap the benefits of this additional income stream. As your results grow, so will your clients' budgets. As you spend more, you make more thanks to your percentage based fee structure. You will have potential, and reason, to work harder and grow your web business in the process.

The recent debate about whether the UK's Department of International Development (DFID) should continue to fund projects in India led to ministers stressing the importance of "value for money" and highlighting the fact that DFID will focus its spending here in three states: Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa. In an attempt to get a glimpse of the reality behind the headlines, I decided to do some digging and take a look at one example of where DFID is actually spending our money.
The Western Orissa Rural Livelihoods Project established in August 2000 and is a partnership between DFID and the state government of Orissa. Western Orissa is a largely rural area with a large tribal population. The environment makes life tough for farmers: rainfall is irregular but sometimes brutally heavy, which leads to intermittent crop failures. Safe drinking water is hard to come by, a problem exacerbated in times of drought. Social infrastructure is noticeable by its absence. In short, the project had its work cut out.
The plan was wide-ranging but at its heart lay watersheds. The term might be more familiar to us as the time after which TV is allowed to get steamy, but in this case we're talking about ways to manage the limited water supply to help irrigate farming land and provide drinking water to communities. The project worked on 290 watersheds in four of the most disadvantaged districts of Western Orissa: Bargarh, Bolangir, Kalahandi and Nuapada.
What made the project different from other watershed programmes was the central importance it placed on the choices of farmers in the affected regions. In keeping with this participatory approach, it also asked communities to set their own targets. Defining at what moment people are no longer living in poverty is a notoriously fraught business, so the project used as its measure the perceptions of the very people it was trying to help. At the outset, villagers were asked to classify the population into three distinct categories: 'Well Off', 'Manageable' and 'Poor' based on criteria they chose themselves.
A household study completed early in 2011 has found that in ten years of work approximately 29% of households in project villages consider that they have moved out of poverty due to increased availability of work, increased returns from agriculture, and other income generating activities. That's 33,989 households or 169,945 people better off.
So what had happened? Well the watershed projects – things like dams, contour ditches, farm ponds and open wells were cited by farmers as 'highly significant' in improving their lot. Additionally, they talked about the importance of the improved communication systems that the project set up, which gave them more information about seeds and fertiliser as well as training and support to obtain agricultural credit. It also allowed them to make more money by helping with actually selling their products at market, in particular by encouraging collective marketing.
The project had other influences that extended beyond the financial. About half of all communities said that through getting involved in managing the project their community had become more inclusive to hearing the views of women and other vulnerable groups although it remains the case that access to resources is still primarily controlled by men so there is some room for improvement.
As well as increasing the amount of food produced, better management has also meant that a lot less people have to deal with shortages in the lean season – 5% of people now say they've had days where they had to go without food, compared to 25% before the project started. Similarly people are now better equipped to deal with disasters like floods and droughts. 86% of marginal farmers in the project watersheds reported improvement in disaster coping capacity, compared to 55% in areas where the project was not involved.
Perhaps the best endorsement of the project is its legacy. The initiatives it introduced are now being adopted across Orissa as well as in other states such as Maharashtra and has influenced the National Policy/ Guidelines on watersheds. A further 2332 watersheds in Orissa have now added the participatory management approach that the project based itself around.
This widespread uptake of ideals is the true measure of the importance of DFID's involvement. Through a relatively small, localized intervention they've not only helped make a significant number of people better off, they've set a touchstone of best practice for many more projects to follow - which sounds a lot like getting value for money to me.

Corey Goode reveals the mysteries of the Ancient Builder Race's technology, the sleeping giants and what their awakening heralds for humanity. He explains, that when Earth's life was still in infancy, the Ancient Builder Race settled upon our home planet. As countless eons have passed, only scant remnants of their multidimensional technology remain. Scattered among the ruins, a younger race of giant redheaded beings use this ancient technology to sleep in stasis, awaiting their appointed day of awakening. This interview with David Wilcock was originally webcast August 4, 2015.

The gross first….
Well, Aaliyah and Jocelyn's new thing is to take their clothes off. I have a niece that is more commonly seen without pants then with them on so I am sure one sister is going to appreciate this story. Kelly (middle sister) use to share this story about when Emilee came into their bed in the middle of the night and took off her diaper. They woke to a strong stench of poop. It was a belly laughing story and she could barely get through the story without making dry heave noises. That smell will never escape her. So I had one of one own…I entered the kids room and Aaliyah had her pajamas off and only a diaper on. After changing her I moved to Jocelyn. I offered to get Ethan or Bennett first and they said, "Jocelyn next!" So kind. So I noticed Jocelyn's pants were off, but her shirt was on. She is still a little petite so shirts do come down far. It didn't take longer than me lifting her out of the crib that I knew this was not going to be good. Yup, she got her diaper off, but not before she used the facilities. There were little brown poop foot prints all around her bed and on her blankets. The poop ranged from caked on her feet to spots on her forehead. Any morning that starts with an unplanned bath and 3 loads of laundry can't be a good one. Every tried to get poop out from under a child's fingernails?
I shared the number for Poison Control with everyone in my subject line because I guess you are just never going to know when you need it. It was last week when I talked to a nice poison control response operator named Tom. It all started with the girls making their way downstairs with a once full bottle of infant ibuprofen. One was sucking on the cap and the other one sucking on the bottle. Child proof cap meet my daughters. I am not surprised because they are smart and Jocelyn is an escape artist. I will give you a visual without you having to actually hear the loud crying of what proceeded for the next 25 minutes. I just finished feeding little J. The girls came downstairs and I discovered the empty bottle and cap in their little hands. I took the bottle and cap away and the girls proceeded to cry and through a fit. I called mother in law who advised me to call the professionals at Poison Control. At this point, I have one girl in my arms crying as the other one is latched to my leg crying. I hear Tom on the other end of the phone line. I am trying to explain what happened when Jackson decided that he wanted attention too. So now I had one girl and Jackson in my arms, little girl on my leg and talking to Tom on the phone. I hear a beep….beep…oh yes call waiting, Brett was trying to call as Tom was asking me what kind of bottle it was and how much may have been left in it. Beep….beep….I hit ignore on the phone, Brett will have to wait. Back to Tom, "mam, they should be fine and might just get an upset stomache. Just give them…." Jackson in one arm, little girl in other arm, little girl grasping at legs, and my eyes turn to the stairs to watch Bennett biff it face first down the stairs. Bennett laid there crying as Tom advised me to give the girls milk and a snack and watch them the rest of the night. Thanks Poison Control, like I didn't already have some things to do. Good news, Aaliyah and Jocelyn are healthy and happy, but boy did they sleep good for nap time that day.
And the good…
Hanging out with the cutest kids ever! We are surviving. Not going to lie, I hate wiping up my floor after ever meal and I don't mind doing laundry, but boy do I hate folding it. Just the price I pay to read books, go outside and swing, and cuddle anytime I want to during the hours of 8-5.

Pawlenty: No fuel for the car
Martin and Cogan report:
After spending much of his money to finish a distant third in the Ames Straw Poll, Tim Pawlenty ended his presidential bid Sunday.
"We needed to get some lift to continue on and have a pathway forward and that didn't happen, so I'm announcing on your show that I'm ending my campaign for president," the former governor said on "This Week."
The Minnesota Republican revealed his decision on an early morning conference call with supporters, an aide told POLITICO.
Story Continued Below
"I wish it would have been different, but obviously the pathway forward for me doesn't really exist, so we're going to end the campaign," Pawlenty told ABC's Jake Tapper.
Pawlenty meticulously prepared for the campaign, hiring a slew of consultants and visiting early states soon after the 2008 race ended. But with little name recognition and a dry persona, he never caught on with GOP activists looking for a dynamic candidate to take on President Barack Obama.
"I'm doing this because I love this country and I want to defeat Barack Obama because I think he's got it on the wrong course," Pawlenty said of his withdrawal, "but I don't get my identity or my sense of worth or my values or my faith from politics. I get it from my personal faith in God, and I believe in this country, I love this country, I thought I would have been a great president."
He also explained, bluntly, the reality of why he was ending now:
"Obviously, we had some success raising money, but we needed to continue that, and Ames was a benchmark for that. And if we didn't do well in Ames, we weren't going to have the fuel to keep the car going down the road. But also, there's a lot of other choices in the race. And for me, what I brought forward I thought was a rational, established, credible,
strong record of results, based on experience governing — a two-term governor of a blue state. But I think the audience, so to speak, was looking for something different."

When you ask "what's the psychologyneeded to fight ISIS', Dr. Bart Rossi PhD, a clinical psychology has insights to the questions we should be asking. He stopped in the WINK News studio to explain.
FORT MYERS, Fla. Fear in Americans is rising following a deadly terror attack in Manchester. ISIS claimed responsibility after a suicide-bomber killed 22 people, including children.
Fears are rising in America. And it's a game-changer because it targeted young people, children.
Dr. Rossi suggests that these terrorists are less about ISIS ideologs, but perverted people with retained anger that turns to rage. In mnay cases ISIS is simply giving them the vehicle.
"Even blowing themselves up gives them identity" Dr. Rossi says.
Politicians say bomb ISIS, wipe them out, but will that have the result we're looking for?
Should we be fighting this war militarily, or fighting the yber recrutiers with cyber disruption?
These are some of the discussions on this segement.

Quentin Tarantino's untitled ninth movie — believed to be about Charles Manson and the Manson Family Murders — will be released Aug. 9, 2019.
Aug. 9, 2019, will mark the 50th anniversary of the murder of Sharon Tate who, along with four others, was killed by members of the Manson Family in the home she shared with director Roman Polanski.
According to Deadline, Tarantino has approached Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie to star. Other names being bandied about also include frequent Tarantino collaborator Samuel L. Jackson and Jennifer Lawrence.
Tarantino has said that he will retire after his 10th film.
"Drop the mic. Boom. Tell everybody, 'Match that shit,'" Tarantino told the Adobe Max conference in San Diego last year, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
"Hopefully, the way I define success when I finish my career is that I'm considered one of the greatest film-makers that ever lived," he added. "And going further, a great artist, not just film-maker."
The film, which is being released by Sony Pictures, will mark the first time Tarantino is working without his longtime producing partner Harvey Weinstein.

text: Thanks for an enlightening post, Gav. //DISCLAIMER - I AM JUST AN ORDINARY USER - SO DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE I am not a developer (yet). But I truly believe in the spirit of OpenSource Free software. I have reported some bug reports, but I would really like to contribute more. When I first heard about a (very) possible licens change to GPL I thought it was a great Idea, because I hate companies who take code and don't contribute back. With the current license this is possible. But I also think it would be a shame for companies with good intentions (as Transgaming) who (maybe:) will contribute all there code back, and make very fast directed code to wine. I would also be very delighted to pay money directly to the wine project because I like it and use it. An important note is that this is what I do with everything that I buy. When I by music, it is because I like it and have heard it and want's to support the artist. Same with movies. I know this is not the way the corporate world works at the moment, but I can pirate music/video/software very easily and therefore they have to trust me to pay for what I want's to pay to. Phew, hope I didn't confuse all of you (like I confused my self:) But the point is, I really like to make contribution to a gratis project if it is GPL'ed or dual licensed (for 'good' corporations). Many of the people I know has the same 'Ideology' as me, and don't pirate things they think aren't sh**t. And after I have changed to linux and opensource, I have actually pirated a lot less, because all stuff are free, and the things that aren't 'stands out', so to speak. Just my .02$ (and maybe more if it goes as I hope:) //lean Ps. Hope I send this mail to the right place

Are saying "please" and "thank you" really all that important?
There comes a time when every child has to write thank-you notes, and now it's Catriona's turn. She is not to play with her new toys until she signs the thank-you notes for her birthday presents and puts them in envelopes, but such an arduous task is bound to take all day! Perhaps a magic spell will solve the problem, but first, she needs to figure out the magic word to get things started. Colorful and energetic pictures portray the persistent young heroine and her trusty feline companion as, after a few comic efforts, the word becomes clear: "Please," of course! In a classic case of be-careful-what-you wish-for, Catriona's pencils are suddenly writing everywhere (except on the thank-you notes, as luck would have it), and not always politely! How can she make them stop? What was that magic word again? While the value of a thank-you note is never fully addressed and the plot feels a trifle disjointed, Catriona's attempts at chore avoidance and mistake correction will seem familiar to most children, who are sure to root for her eventual success.
This airy cautionary tale will draw young listeners in with its appealing illustrations as Catriona realizes that thank-you notes aren't so bad after all. (Picture book. 3-6)

Crafting the Next Generation of Smart Growth Policies
Attempts to manage development and implement smart growth policies have been through several phases since the early 1970s. But given the looming pressures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce the use of fossil fuels, and provide affordable housing in the years ahead, a new generation of smart growth policies will soon be upon us.
California, with its climate change legislation, is forging a new approach with special attention to regional planning and to marrying land use and transportation policies. The Obama administration has vowed to pay more attention to cities and metropolitan regions, as the reauthorization of federal transportation spending gets underway. A climate bill in the works includes mandates for states to meet emissions reduction targets, in part by way of land use, green building, and transit.
With this future in mind, it's an appropriate time to ask the question: how have smart growth policies fared thus far? Have they had an impact? Today's policymakers could surely learn from the successes and pitfalls of the recent past.
Two years ago, the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy began to gather 21 leading researchers to analyze the empirical evidence on smart growth, choosing four states – Florida, Maryland, New Jersey and Oregon – that all declared formal statewide smart growth programs through legislation, executive order, and otherwise. Using the 10 Principles of Smart Growth as a reference, this group addressed five important smart growth policy objectives: promoting compact human settlement, protecting undeveloped land, providing a variety of transportation options, maintaining affordable housing, and achieving positive fiscal impacts. Though smart growth policies have been around, in the case of Oregon, for nearly four decades, this kind of comprehensive, objective-based evaluation had never been done.
The Results
What we found was somewhat sobering. No state was able to make gains in all five performance measures. Success was more limited and reflected each state's areas of high priority. Maryland was successful in protecting natural resources through its land preservation programs and state funding for the purchase of farmland conservation easements. New Jersey's affordable housing policies that responded to state supreme court decisions slowed house price escalation and encouraged rental and multifamily housing production. Oregon's commitment to urban growth boundaries helped reduce development on farmland in the Willamette Valley and encouraged commuters to use transit, walk, or bike to work.
But both Oregon and Maryland did poorly in the area of affordable housing, for example, and Florida under-achieved on the objective of promoting compact urban growth.
Perhaps equally telling, performance in some of the four states we selected that had not declared a formal statewide smart growth program -- Colorado, Indiana, Texas, and Virginia – kept pace with the smart growth states in several areas. Colorado, with no statewide smart growth program, outperformed some states with such policies by supporting local government actions to pursue effective land use planning within a regional context.
What does all this tell us? One message is clear: smart growth is doable – this study provides evidence that smart growth outcomes can be achieved – but it's a real challenge. It requires energy and commitment and focus. Even with a lot of inputs, it's hard to move the needle. States need to attend to multiple objectives-land development, housing affordability, transport, and land preservation-all at the same time.
Smart Growth Policies: An Evaluation of Programs and Outcomes recommends that policy makers must articulate the means of achieving smart growth objectives and specify implementation mechanisms rather than just declare objectives. States should use a variety of regulatory controls, market incentives, and institutional policies coordinated at the regional scale, and must take account of interactions among policies and coordination across relevant agencies.
The report also concludes that the successful implementation of smart growth programs requires a credible and persistent commitment from different levels of government. In addition, improvements in measurement and collection of data, particularly related to environmental quality and public finance, are needed to better monitor program performance, and more evidence is needed about the nature of interactions among smart growth policies-particularly those related to land use, transportation, and housing affordability.
The study is an objective-based evaluation using data from the US Census, Census of Governments, Natural Resources Inventory, and other sources. The evaluation concentrates primarily on statewide performance from 1990 to the early 2000s – in part because consistent and comparable data were available. But by looking back, we also can inform the future because many smart growth objectives are precisely the outcomes posited to address today's high energy costs, historic housing market volatility, and increasing pressures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Does smart growth measure up? Not across the board. Going forward, special attention in policy design and implementation – as well as committed political leadership – will be needed for the new generation of smart growth to have a chance at achieving important policy goals.

The Huskies are in Puerto Rico for the aptly named Puerto Rico Tip-Off tournament, where they will face the College of Charleston on Thursday at 12:30 p.m.
One of the matchups to watch will be sophomore center Amida Brimah versus 6-9 Adjehi Baru, who averages 13 points and 10 rebounds in two games this season for the Cougars.
"They have Baru down there that's a senior," UConn coach Kevin Ollie said, via the Connecticut News. "That's a load down there, a big-time rebounder, so we're going to have to stick with him and have a game plan."
Teammate Anthony Stitt added: "Baru is a tough player. He's an animal. He's got that length that they have down there so hopefully, he'll be ready to compete with them tomorrow."
Meanwhile, the redshirt sophomore Rodney Purvis said that Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun had a few words for him at practice last week. Purvis has been pressing, and it showed up during the exhibition games and the season opener.
"[Calhoun] "just be ready to make a play, just be ready to catch and shoot, things like that," Purivs said.
Ollie said, "That's the luxury of having Coach there, because he knows so much about the game, and how to get to players. I'm just glad that he's there if they need him. It's just another that's got my players' backs, and I welcome it every day."

In the parenting feature, creative parenting expert, Nikki Bush chats to #WeekendBreakfast host Phemelo Motene about the financial, and social issues surrounding Matric Dances.
Bush says that preparing for a Matric Dances can be extremely distracting.
There's so much attached to matric dances from the overwhelming amount of money it costs these days.— Nikki Bush, creative parenting expert
Bush says that girls tend to be more expensive than boys.
Boys generally hire the car but the girls need to go for makeup rehearsals, do their nails, and get outfits for the actual Matric Dance, and the after party adds Bush.
Bush says that matric dance dresses range in price.
If you hire a dress, it can be about R900. If you go buy a dress, it can be anything from R1800. I have heard parents spending R10 000 - R15 000 for a dress.— Nikki Bush, creative parenting expert
