Preceptorship in Oral Medicine
A preceptorship is an intensive training course in the specialty area of Oral Medicine, which will be open to graduates of dental schools outside of the United States and Canada and recognized by the World Health Organization. Oral Medicine functions at the interface of Dentistry and Medicine as many systemic diseases can manifest themselves in the oral cavity. (e.g., HIV/AIDS and other immune deficiencies; Sjögren' s syndrome; blood dyscrasias). Additionally, patients with stem cell and organ transplants and those undergoing radiation and chemotherapy often have oral complications (e.g., GVHD).
Length of the Preceptorship
The preceptorship will be offered in 12-week modules (3 months) and applicants can possibly take up to four modules. This means that a preceptorship can last from three months to 12 months at the discretion of the Director of the Postgraduate Program in Oral Medicine, but cannot be longer.The course is full-time and outside activities that interfere with the program are not permitted.
If accepted into the program, the tuition fee for each module is $5,200.
Status of the Preceptors
Preceptors will be continuing education visitors registered through the Continuing Dental Education Department of the University of California, San Francisco.
International preceptors who require visa sponsorship need to be supported on the J-1 Student-Non Degree visa. For information on the J-1 Student Non-Degree visa, please visit the UCSF International Student and Scholars Office website at https://isso.ucsf.edu/node/386 or send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Program Status
This preceptorship program is not accredited by any national or local accreditation body, but on completion of the program, preceptors will be issued with a certificate of completion issued by the Continuing Dental Education Department of the UCSF School of Dentistry.
Types of Oral Conditions Diagnosed and/or Managed in the Oral Medicine Clinic
- Head and neck cancer (and pre-radiation work-up and follow up.)
- Oral manifestations of HIV/AIDS and other immunosuppressive disorders
- Sjögren' syndrome
- Mucocutaneous inflammatory diseases (i.e. Lichen planus, mucous membrane pemphigoid, pemphigus vulgaris)

Course Outline
Preceptors are expected to participate in the Oral Medicine Journal Club and case presentations which occur twice a month. Preceptors are also expected to attend Oral Maxillofacial/Oral Pathology/Oral Medicine Case presentations which are held in conjunction with UC Fresno OMFS program.
All preceptors will be assigned a specific mentor who will be responsible for the overall planning of activities. At the discretion of the mentor, the preceptor may become involved in the specific research activities of the mentor themselves or of other faculty or research staff.

1911 T205 Gold Borders T205 Gold Border Baseball Complete Set - Built to Order
|T205 Gold Borders
Below is a list of all of the cards included in this particular set. To view front and back images, click on the card names. To view scans of all of the cards included in this set, please click the first card and use the white arrows to scroll through the set.
This is a listing for a Built To Order set. DeansCards.com has 1.5 million cards online, and nobody builds or sells more T-Card sets, E-Card sets, and complete sets than DeansCards.com.
These sets are built to order, and will be constructed to the collector's precise specifications. We can build most of these sets from inventory, but we may be required to go out and purchase a few cards. That said, the time to build, the condition, and the price may vary. For more information, please Contact Us.
The T205 cards were released in 1911 into eleven different brands of cigarettes. The T205 set includes 218 cards that measure 1-7/16" by 2-5/8". T205 cards are easily identified by the distinctive gold borders, which also tend to chip easily.
Like the T206, this set was released by the American Tobacco Company. It featured players from the National League, American League, and minor league. The cards also have the first ever facsimile autograph that is overlaid on the players' pictures. The idea of including a facsimile autograph would be repeated again and again by Topps and several other companies.
The T205 includes many expensive variations and star cards. Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, and Cy Young all have cards in the T205 set. However, one of the most expensive cards in the set is the Dick Hoblitzell "no stats" variation. The statistics were usually printed between the short biographical paragraph and the cigarette advertisement. Several other cards were printed without the statistics but Hoblitzell's is the most expensive. Hoblitzell was the 21-year-old first baseman for the Reds.
The cards in this set will vary in grade from Fair up to Excellent, but most of the cards will grade Very Good. There will be a mixture of graded cards as well as raw cards, and we can accommodate requests to build the set with or without certain high dollar cards. We have around 25% of the cards we need to complete this set, in-stock, but we will have to go out and purchase the others. That said, depending on the grade and the availability of the missing cards, the time to complete this set could range anywhere from several months to 1 year+.

The MM site may not actually be "down" but no webpage of theirs will appear - I just get this error message: No data received
Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data. Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later. Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.
This has been going on for a couple days now. Would love to cancel my account but I can't, since I can't get to their site.
and the 3G access is down now. WTF???
Not been able to access through my wi-fi internet connectionon any device at home for a couple of days now. But can access through a 3G connection on iPhone. Must be something to do with servers.
Down for me right now. :-(
Anyone else getting a google warning about modelmayhem server identifiying itself as ssl2500.cloudflare.com when on mobile?
It's working for some, I'm still getting comments, requests, messages. I am able to hit the site maybe once in 100 attempts - long enough to see a message, but my reply won't go through. MM has ALWAYS been slow, but now it's busted.

Having spoken to others with MM accounts, I have not yet found anyone in the UK who can fully access MM. The problems range from not even being able to load the homepage (my situation) to not being able to see personal account details after login. Do the MM people know this? Is there anywhere to report this? Hope someone can help.

Children Of Bodom
In 1997, after years of unsuccessfully courting labels with demo recordings, the band gained the attention of Belgian label Shiver, which signed the group with the intent to release its debut album, Something Wild. Inearthed quickly found their cup running over with interest when, right after they signed on with one label, a bigger label, Spinefarm Records, also became interested in the band. They eventually decided to go with Spinefarm, and changed their name from Inearthed to Children of Bodom (based on the Lake Bodom murders in their hometown of Espoo) so they could sign a new contract with the label, which eventually released their debut later that year.
Things took off quickly for Children of Bodom, who entered into a relentless European touring and recording schedule that resulted in the quick release of their second album, Hatebreeder, in 1999, and their third album, Follow the Reaper, the next year. The group had a big year in 2003 when, after releasing Hate Crew Deathroll, it was named Finnish Band of the Year at the Finnish Music Awards. This was also the year of their first world tour, though the tour would prove to be a double-edged sword when, despite gaining them exposure in North America, it resulted in the unexpected departure of Kuoppala, who found himself growing tired of a life spent on the road. The band recruited guitarist Roope Latvala, who was already well known as a founding member of Stone, to replace him, and continued to tour.
Their next album, Are You Dead Yet?, arrived in 2005, though the touring was cut short after Laiho injured his shoulder a couple of years later, forcing the band off the road while the guitarist recovered. This didn't stop them from working on new material, however, and their sixth album, Blooddrunk, appeared in 2008, followed by Relentless, Reckless Forever in 2011, as well as Halo of Blood in 2013. The band supported the release by appearing on that year's Mayhem Festival tour with Rob Zombie, Amon Amarth, and Mastodon.
In April 2015, Children of Bodom announced a new album. A month later their Facebook page revealed that Latvala (a member since 2003) had left the band. Eschewing a proper studio to record in an empty warehouse, the quartet -- with Laiho handling all guitar parts -- attempted to capture the ambience of their live shows on a recording. A single, "Morrigan" was released on video and for digital download in September. The album, I Worhsip Chaos, followed in early October with title track offered as a second single. ~ Gregory Heaney

Awesome thanks a lot. That would be of great help. And yea i love it more and more each day, very happy with my purchase.

Not what i wanted to hear but i knew rust is never good so im not surprised. Thanks for the information. Even though youre from wisconsin it still is probably true. Especially me living on the coast and our humidity almost always being 80% rust is very common here.

So it just has some glue or other adhesive holding it on? How would i go about putting it back on, or are you suggesting to just leave it off? So to take them off i just grab and pull down? Thanks for the info kind sir.
Another update. Finally got the money from selling my truck so i ordered some NGK Spark plugs off eBay. During my lunch break im going to see if i can find some nice new cheap filters on their too, if not ill just get them through my work. Then it will be tune up time!

Reviving memories of last year's debate over the Arizona immigration law, President Obama is criticizing a similar proposal in Georgia.
"I think it is a mistake for state to try to do this piecemeal," Obama told WSB-TV of Atlanta. "We can't have 50 immigration laws around the country."
Obama pointed out that parts of the Arizona law -- which would have given local law enforcement officers more authority to question people they suspected of being in the country illegally -- have been struck down by the courts.

Hi everyone, I just found this forum! My son is gifted. We knew it when he was reading his father's newspaper at 2 years old. Now, at 5 and a half, he's reading at about a 5th-grade-level, loves science and is working his way through pre-algebra (math is his favorite subject). I'm sure all of you know how it is. He keeps us on our toes! He's a very happy and well-adjusted little boy. He has many friends at school (a private school which fits his learning needs well), loves imaginative play and Legos and our home life is happy. My husband and I have been together since high school and truly have a wonderful relationship (21 years together now) and Nicholas is an only child - so no sibling rivalry or anything. I just wanted to give you all some background.
In the last 6 months or so, Nicholas has become obsessed with time. He asks about it constantly. Then it began interrupting his sleep. In the last 4 months, since around October, he's been waking a few times at night, specifically to check the time. He's worried he'll be late for school or late for breakfast, or even late for an afternoon birthday party he attended a few weeks ago. Nicholas has always hummed, since he was a baby. He's very musical and plays piano and violin. I woke up that first night because I heard him humming. He was curled up on the floor beside out bed, on my side, with his pillow and blanket...humming. I asked him why he wasn't in his room and he said, completely nonchalantly, "I can't sleep because I keep wondering what time it is. I don't want to be late for school." I brought him back to his bed and after reassuring him that everything was okay and he wouldn't be late for school, he went to sleep. I even slept on the floor in his room for a few nights. He'll be fine for about two or three night and then it will start up again. I find him on the floor beside our bed constantly at 2am or 3am usually, at least 5 out of 7 nights a week, weekends included. His teacher also informed us that he's concerned about the time all day long, worried he'll be late for reading time, or eating lunch, late getting outside to be picked up in the afternoon, etc. He has a nanny who has been with him since he was 9 months old, when I returned to work. She only has him 2.5 hours in the afternoons after school. She told us the same thing. He asks her what time it is constantly.
We've purposely not made it "an issue" with him. But I've talked to his pediatrician five or six times and he's been in therapy now for about six weeks. (not helping). The sleep issue isn't getting any better and now he seems to be slightly worse. A "clean hands" thing started about two weeks ago, constant hand-washing (if we allow it). I'm resisting medicating him, but am worried this could turn into a full-on OCD. I'm REALLY interested to see if any of you have been through anything similar with a gifted child. I keep thinking it's a phase, but frankly I'm dealing with severe sleep deprivation now. My husband and I are both very driven people, successful in our careers, but neither of us had any issues like this as children. Neither of us are compulsive about anything, so this is all new to me.
Thank you! I would appreciated any feedback. Have a wonderful week everyone. :-)
Victoria B.
I think this is possibly not a gifted thing per se. In fact, I see this in children in my practice occasionally and it's sometimes nutrition-related. Not saying he doesn't eat well, just that maybe something he's eating is irritating his system or running some kind of deficiency. The thing that tips me in this direction is that he can go 2-3 days without the problem sometimes, and your reassurance (which he can actually understand) is not helping him nor is 4 months of living through NOT being late for this stuff. Plus, it sounds like the behavior is now kicking it up a notch with the clean hands. We definitely have the hand-washing problem with our 9yo in the winter (only the winter... wth?) -to the point where, the first year, his hands were red and chapped and painful... it was only in the winter; but the next year we were able to manage it with him without much of a problem (reminders were enough), and this is the third year and it's non-issue at all. He also had sleep issues, but not anymore.
There are a few things I would do:
* Keep a detailed log of what he takes in, what he puts out, sleep, behavior and activities for a month. I know that's kind of tedious, but it may be easier to find some kind of pattern or connection with the times that are less bad.
* After keeping a log for a month (so you have a baseline) I would first try some high quality fish oil (I'm partial to Nordic Naturals). It's good for soothing neurological misfiring.
* The next thing I would try (and NOT simultaneously--so you can identify what produces a change) would be a magnesium supplement. It has a relaxing/calming effect, but also something most of us run deficient on.
* The last thing that screams out to me would be zinc, although it would definitely be the last one of these things I'd try.
I can send you an Excel-based tracking log if you need one. It prints out to a single page.
Hope this helps...

Also give therapy a bit more time. DS started therapy 4 months ago for his anxiety and other issues, and it was almost 3 full months before I started to see improvement, but then the changes started happening really quickly. One thing I found is that I had to work more closely with the therapist than is typical -- emailing her between sessions to share what's working/not working and updating her on what was going on with DS each week. This really helped her tailor her treatment to DS's specific issues.
It does sound like OCD. I don't know that it's necessarily a gifted issue, though I do notice gifted children often seem more predisposed to anxiety (or maybe just know too much, things they aren't ready to know)....
Dawn Huebner has some workbooks for anxiety issues... ex: this and this... I've only read the first with DS but suspect both would be helpful to your DS. I have had lifelong anxiety issues and based on my own experience, her books seem ideal for dealing with childhood anxiety issues.
Reassurance is sometimes appropriate but can also be a bit of a trap and ultimately reinforce the worries and anxiety. It's a fine line to walk. Even with all of my personal education on anxiety from my own issues and interests, I'm still having a hard time learning just how to help DS manage his. But I do know that it's better to give them lots of tools & education now, rather than just waiting it out!

text: How does Sen Baucus say with a straight face that the special interests, PAC money or former staff members working for healthcare mega-corps DO NOT effect his behavior in the legislative process? It's truly and SADLY LAUGHABLE! Why does a SITTING SENATOR (read: lifetime office-holder) in MONTANA need to raise MILLIONS of dollars in a sparsely populated (less expensive media-market) State? Sen Baucus, have you NO SHAME??? Your behavior is APPALLING.

No Frank Lampard in the starting line-up but lots of "Super Frank" chants resounding around Stamford Bridge, especially when Bruce Buck, the club chairman, dared to venture on to the pitch for a pre-match presentation.
Buck, like chief executive Ron Gourlay and his predecessor Peter Kenyon, are the public face of Chelsea's unpopular decisions – and there have been a few over the years. Which was why the chairman of the club during the most successful period in their history was booed when his name was announced. Granted, it is a little more complicated than just results on the pitch, but that is life at Chelsea.
Even without Lampard, Chelsea should have been well clear of their opponents by the time that the deadly Michu struck. The little band of brothers who operate behind Fernando Torres – Juan Mata, Oscar and Eden Hazard – looked lively and there was no better move all half than the sequence of passes that played in Ramires on 11 minutes for a disappointing stab at goal.
That was not the only chance that was missed. Hazard teed up Mata on 26 minutes and he hit his shot straight at the goalkeeper. The Spain international struck another across the face of goal. Even Cesar Azpilicueta, yet to score for his new club, had a crack at goal. The expectation was that one would go in at some point.
In fact, Chelsea might even have had a penalty as early as the seventh minute when the South Korea international Ki Sung-yueng wrestled David Luiz to a halt in a melee in the area. Swansea were stuck in their own half, yet then, when they did finally break out, they took their chance beautifully.
It was presented to them by Branislav Ivanovic, who took the ball from Ross Turnbull in the Chelsea goal and turned straight into trouble. The enterprising Jonathan De Guzman, who played well against Arsenal in the FA Cup on Sunday, stole the ball away from Ivanovic and it broke left to Michu.
Even from that position, the Swansea striker's task was by no means simple. Gary Cahill had recovered and was moving into position to block the direct route to goal. No problem for the goal machine from Oviedo, who switched the ball from his right foot to his left, away from Cahill and found the space to lift a shot quickly past Turnbull.
Man of the match Williams.
Match rating 7/10.
Referee A Taylor (Greater Manchester).

Rising senior Tori Lamp is still a few weeks away from taking to platform at the World Championships in Barcelona, but she has already arrived in Spain to prepare for competition.
Lamp and UT diving coach Dave Parrington traveled to the island of Mallorca earlier this week for a training camp with the U.S. team.
The squad has been practicing at the outdoor facility called the Picines Son Hugo, which was the site of 1999 World University Games. Lady Vol great Kathy Pesek dove at that meet for the United States.
Lamp qualified for the World Championships in platform -- her top event -- by winning the U.S. trials to start the summer.
During her junior year at UT, Lamp was named the CSCAA National Diver of the Year after making the finals at the NCAA Championships in all three diving events. She was also voted the SEC Diver of the Year for a second year running after defending her title and breaking her own conference record on the platform.
Lamp is the third Lady Vol diver to make the World Championships in program history. Pesek and Tracy Bonner and won the silver in 3-meter synchronized diving in 1998.

Jake Tapper's kids build Little Free Library "in solidarity" with Collins family. CNN anchor Jake Tapper posted a tweet Wednesday showing a Little Free Library his kids built with their grandfather "in solidarity w the little boy in Kansas whose city council told him to take his down." Spencer Collins is expected to appear before the Leawood City Council next Monday, July 7, to make his case for getting the city to approve Little Free Libraries in the city.
KC Star covers Fairway Little Free Library issue. The Kansas City Star on Wednesday ran a story on Fairway resident Erin Margolin's attempt to get formal approval to install a Little Free Library in her yard. (See our coverage from Tuesday here). [Fairway tells resident to wait on Little Free Library — Kansas City Star]
Community Fireworks Display slated for tonight. The Community Fireworks Display put on by the cities of Westwood, Fairway, Mission Woods, Roeland Park and Westwood Hills is set for tonight at 9:30 p.m. on the St. Agnes Athletic Field, 5130 Mission Road. Parking will be limited, so organizers as attendees to walk if possible.
Fairway reminds residents that fireworks are prohibited in city. Fairway Police Chief Mike Fleming sent a message to residents yesterday reminding them that fireworks are not legal in the city. "The weather has not been as hot and dry as in previous years; however that does not help to ease any concerns the Police and Fire Departments have with preventing accidents and fires over the next few days," he wrote.

12. Nowhere Now
13. Prismas (feat. Eva Puyuelo)
14. Youth Reboot
Stereo Typing is the sum of the parts of a journey. Giovanni Civitenga, aka My Dry Wet Mess, composed his forthcoming album for Brainfeeder over a 15 month period (November '10 through January '12), between Barcelona and Berlin, in four different houses. And out of the many changes and different chapters, comes a densely layered body of work that – despite being a product of transition – stands as his most grounded and resolved work yet.
The title derived, My Dry Wet Mess explains, "from the concept of typing for the stereo field, as in writing narration through sounds. Writing a story as a writer would do, but using sounds instead of words." The 14 album tracks use live instrumentation, tweaked samples, slap-bass riffs, slanted beats and winding melodies to form playful narratives and plot shifts, leading the listener to places completely unexpected, and unknown. Twists and turns abound, each track is a journey in itself, at times traversing through intertwining synth lines in a buoyant underwater bassbin, other points diverting into R&B-sampled scifi wonderlands, filled with otherworldly sounds conversing. The album ends on sensory bliss, with the sublime "Prismas" and the daydream-inducing "Youth Reboot".
Though his living situation changed throughout the album's formation, there's a inherent sense of family and home in the LP. His father plays guitar, Gianluca Pellegrino (an old friend and regular collaborator) plays various electric guitar parts, and his good friend in New York, Maryam Modarressi, sings on two songs, and her sampled voice makes an appearance throughout the album. The artwork was also created by his close conspirator, Berlin based illustrator Elliot Beaumont, a homage to one of MDWM's favorite painters, De Chirico. "It's got this hard to define quality to it, a sense of "future nostalgia" that I love and that I find extremely appropriate for my music and the ideas behind it."

Loic Remy is a very important layer for Newcastle at least through the end of the year, because if he can fire in those goals and work well with Papiss Cisse, what looks to be our biggest weakness of this year – scoring goals – can be fixed.
Mike Ashley – must be willing to spend club's profits
Cetainly scoring goals has been our weaknesses since Demba Ba left in January, and is now sitting on the bench at Chelsea – if indeed he makes the 18 man squad at all.
It's hardly surprising that Newcastle fans are full of discontent at the moment, because it's not as if Newcastle don't have the money to spend – we do – we are just being far too thrifty with the money we do have available, and for the second summer running we had a long running circus with a player we ended up not signing.
Last summer it was Mathieu Debuchy of Lille and this summer it's been Bafe Gomis of Lyon.
But the Newcastle squad is strong in other areas apart from striker, and we cannot forget we brought in five new Frenchmen last Jnauary, something no other Premier League club did – and that was to ensure we weren't relegated.
So if Loic Remy can become the player we think he is and start rifling in those goals, and Papiss now has somebody who can support him up front, things may not be as bad as we think, and certainly if we can start winning some games that will certainly lift the mood on Tyneside.
The thing that needs to be done at the top is to convince or persuade Mike Ashley to spend the money the club is now making – and not be so miserly.
Ashley did well to put Newcastle's financial books in order, but now's the time to move to the next phase and start building up the squad, so we can again challenge for the top six.
Surely that has to be our goal from now on.
And it's frustrating when we get so close to getting a deal completed, and then become stubborn and not pay out that little bit more the seal the deal.
That attitude somehow needs to be fixed, but until January if Loic Remy can fire in those goals for the side, the depression currently on Tyneside can be lifted.
And that would be good – very good.
Comments welcome.

CNN Lights Up Empire State Building With Real-Time Election Results
The news network introduces a highly visual way for New Yorkers to stay updated on the race to the White House.
In NYC and want to watch the election results? Instead of watching real-time results on your TV or computer screen, all you'll have to do is look up at the New York skyline. In partnership with CNN, the Empire State Building will use a new LED lighting system to show the running tally of each candidate's electoral votes. The Empire State Building is regularly lit with various colors to celebrate important events or milestones, including past elections. On Election Day in 2008, the building's lights were split for the first time, half red for McCain, and half red for Obama.
Tonight, the lights will be split once again for Romney and Obama, but for the first time, the lights will dynamically change throughout the night. As CNN projects the winner of each state and the electoral votes are allocated to either candidate, the strips of red and blue will act as a glowing tally, growing until one candidate reaches the needed 270 votes:
This occasion will mark the iconic Empire State Building's first-ever use of their new custom LED panel technology, a state-of-the-art dynamic lighting system from Philips Color Kinetics that is unique to the Empire State Building and will allow the building's façade and mast to change lighting scenes in real-time. The four-sided tower, which sits atop the building more than a quarter of a mile from the streets of Manhattan, will be illuminated in patriotic red, white and blue vertical stripes, while the mast will be lit in blue and in red on two sides each to represent President Obama and Gov. Romney's respective electoral vote totals.
For those not in NYC, CNN will air live footage of the changing building, and when the winner of the 2012 Presidential Election is announced, the lights will instantly change to either all blue or all red.

Paula Abdul Believes In 'Bruno'…And The Tooth Fairy
Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's character Bruno managed to convince Paula Abdul that his over-the-top, flamboyantly gay persona was for real.
An inside source tells Page Six, "Paula was totally fooled. She bought into his character and to this day isn't aware she was fooled."
Seriously, though, I wouldn't brag too much about pulling one over on ol' Paula. Lord knows I love her, but let's be real here. It's as easy as counting to three. Unless you're Paula, in which case it's all but impossible without cue cards.

Because of the HoldAll attribute the argument is the symbol lst, not
it's value, the List {1,2,3}. This is why it doesn't match the pattern
_List but _Symbol and thus the function body is never executed. You can
check that this works:
SetAttributes[test, HoldAll];
test[list_Symbol, val_] := list[[2]] = val;
If you want to test whether the value of the symbol is a list, you could
do something like this:
test[list_Symbol?(Head[#] == List &),val_]:= list[[2]]=val;
test[list_Symbol /; Head[list] === List, val_] := list[[2]] = val;

It is ironic that Thursday's elections created the possibility of a Conservative-Liberal Democrat government while simultaneously killing off a number of their existing arrangements at local level. Councils such as Birmingham, Leeds, St Helens, Camden, Brent and Southwark had been run by alliances of the two parties. But after Labour's good results in the local elections, only Birmingham remains under the control of a robust Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition.
The experience of joint Conservative and Liberal Democrat approaches to city government provides clues about how easy or difficult it might be for David Cameron's party to work with Nick Clegg's in Westminster and Whitehall. An obvious observation would be that joint administrations have proved durable and capable of delivering good government. There is no evidence that having two parties running a council undermines its capacity to improve performance. Camden, for example, is shown by the Audit Commission to be one of the country's best performers.
Despite their political differences, Conservative and Liberal Democrat councillors have managed to work together in a number of places to keep Labour out of power. As Labour has lost council seats during its 13 years in power at Westminster, eventually the party has ceded overall control of most rural and urban authorities. Where the joint total number of Conservative and Lib Dem councillors has exceeded Labour's, it has proved tempting for the Tories and Lib Dems to take control. That is, there appears to have been a political dynamic behind providing a new, alternative administration as opposed to the Lib Dems simply propping up a Labour group that had lost power.
Indeed, in five out of the six councils listed above, last Thursday saw Labour retake control from Conservative-Liberal Democrat administrations. This change reinforces the sense, at least in the areas concerned, that the alternative to Labour is a Con/Lib Dem arrangement.
Once in power, Con/Lib Dem councils have proved moderate and broadly coherent. The presence of Liberal Democrat partners has clearly kept Conservative leaders from adopting radical Thatcherite positions. Thus, while places such as Wandsworth, Hammersmith and Barnet have adopted privatisation, low tax policies and even an "easycouncil" model of government, local authorities where the Tories must work with the Liberal Democrats have avoided radicalism or strident rightwing policies.
However alien the idea of coalition is to tribal politicians in Britain, there is no "Labour" or "Conservative" way to sweep a street, just as there would presumably be no difference between the Tories and Lib Dems if it came to running the national road network or the armed forces. The differences between British politicians can be real enough, but when it comes to the scary local business of, for example, ensuring children's services function well there is little room for ideological struggle.
Labour, by being in power in parliament and (at least initially) in many town halls, has been the party of government since 1997. Conservative and Liberal Democrat politicians have seen themselves – in a number of places at least – as being involved in a joint endeavour to act as a brake on Labour ambitions. More positively, such a way of operating guarantees greater pluralism of political control over time.
If the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats put together a deal to run the UK, they will become the party of government. It would then be almost inevitable that the Tories and Lib Dems would lose councillors in local elections from 2011 onwards. Indeed, this move can already be seen in the 2010 council results. As a result, in Leeds, Labour will now be considering a deal with the Greens to push the Con/Lib Dem ruling group out of power. My enemy's enemy is my friend, or, more politically, my opponent's opponent is my coalition partner.

The newly discovered virus that killed a Saudi Arabian man in June and is now causing life-threatening illness in a person from Qatar is similar to strains carried by bats, researchers reported Thursday.
Most of the bat strains do not infect people. Why the new strain does — and how it got into two unrelated people from the same part of the world months apart — is a mystery being urgently investigated by scientists in Europe, the Middle East and the United States.
The new bug is a coronavirus, a family that includes the agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which caused more than 8,000 infections and 900 deaths in 2003. The SARS coronavirus is also carried by bats.
"It is perplexing. But it is the very early days," said Nick Phin, an epidemiologist at the British government's Health Protection Agency who is helping investigate the case of the Qatari patient, who is in an intensive care unit of a London hospital.

Dear Annie: I have two grown daughters. I don't know what I expected as we all grew older, but it certainly wasn't what I got.
Here's the problem with my older daughter, "Bethany." The three of us had lunch together, and afterward, Bethany said she was bored and had taken on part-time work as a phone sex worker. I was stunned and thought she was making it up. She is notorious for lying. But she swore she was telling the truth. Annie, she and her husband both have good jobs, and she certainly doesn't need the money. It made me furious, but we have not mentioned it since.
Now, my younger daughter is treating me terribly. After high school, I discovered that "Miranda" was a bully to her classmates. She made fun of them and tormented them for years. I had many conversations with both of my daughters about being kind to people, but obviously it never meant a thing to Miranda. I now believe she is transferring that attitude to me. She never misses an opportunity to correct me in front of my grandchildren. She once hurt my feelings so badly, I broke down in tears.
After Thanksgiving, she invited me to go shopping. I was at the designated place, but she wasn't there. When I phoned, she said she was tied up at the checkout line in another store Â- one where she knows I love to shop. I said I couldn't wait and was going home. She didn't object. I invited her for Christmas dinner, and she refused to let me know whether she could make it until the day before.
Annie, I have had many surgeries and illnesses over the years, but in spite of that, I have lived a pretty good life. My husband and I have been generous with our children. If you see a problem with my attitude, tell me. I am willing to change. Right now, however, I am considering cutting my losses by limiting my contact with both of them. I am too old to put up with this nonsense. - North Carolina
Dear N.C.: We think your daughters enjoy yanking your chain in whatever direction it will go. We know this can be aggravating, but it does seem that they are close to you, having lunch together and offering to go shopping. If you enjoy that aspect of the relationship, we'd urge you to take the rest with a grain of salt, knowing that this is how they are. But if it is too stressful for you to be in their company, it makes perfect sense to limit contact to what you can tolerate.
Please email your questions to email@example.com, or write to: Annie's Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

Options for Video Advertising Expanding Online
November 1, 2008
COLUMN : Integrated Marketing | Sales & Marketing
Choices in video advertising were once limited to broadcast or cable TV channels. Now, in addition, dealers can use the Web to showcase their video ads, whether it's on their own site, or in tandem with search engine marketing and online yellow page ads that now offer the option of adding video to the mix. Dealers can now "multi-purpose" original 30-second spots in a variety of ways.
Search engines are expanding video search capabilities and are integrating video ads into their paid search offerings. Google officially integrated video ads into its AdSense program in May, exposing online advertising to a larger mainstream audience. Google's video ads are very non-intrusive by presenting a static screenshot that won't play unless the user clicks. Yahoo and Microsoft are also building their video search inventories. Yahoo will include click-to-call and video content into its next Yahoo Search Marketing update.
Window and door company custom click-to-play video ads can also appear on search pages of the three leading online yellow pages directories. These are www.yellowpages.com, www.superpages.com and www.yellowbook.com
Marketers can expect online video ads to grow in popularity as people move from the TV screen to computer and mobile device screens. This method of ad delivery has promise because most people can choose to view videos as they choose—a pleasant alternative to being inundated with TV ads over which they have no control.
Window and door manufacturers and dealers interested in video advertising have always been faced with two cost considerations: commercial production costs and media advertising expenses. More often than not, companies have tried to keep production costs as low as possible, so as to be able to spend the lion's share of the total budget on air time.
If dealers choose to run commercials on television, they'll find many local stations and cable companies receptive to offering free or reduced-price commercial production services. They consider production to be a value-added service offered to new or loyal advertisers. If you intend to run schedules on more than one station or on a combination of broadcast and cable channels, you may have a choice of subsidized production services.
Before choosing a production facility, be sure to ask to see a "reel" of its work for other local advertisers. If you plan to have them shoot at your store or dealership, be sure to have them show you some commercials produced "on location." When asking for bids on original commercials for TV, ask the producer to also quote the additional cost of formatting the same commercial for online video.
Another option is to ask key vendors if they make available TV commercials with provisions for 6-10 second dealer tags. Many larger manufacturers offer cooperative advertising allowances to dealers who run commercials featuring their products. Be sure to ask for air-quality commercials on tape or DVD. Your local station or cable TV company will almost certainly offer to produce the tag at no cost as part of their value-added service when you buy advertising time. Make sure your tag contains both audio and video mention of your company name and phone number.
As is the case with local television and television stations, online service providers also offer production services. Professionally produced video commercials range in cost from $100 to $1,000 for Google ads placed for its Adwords program, it reports. All three online directory Web sites have hundreds of local videographers under contract to serve dealers in all areas of the U.S.
"Yellowpages.com," says Tina Stock, a marketing manager for the company, "offers small local businesses two basic types of custom-produced commercials as part of our online search listing program. One is where we send a local videographer to the place of business or a customer's home. The commercial is taped in less than two hours on location, and edited later. The other is where the commercial is produced from still photos provided by the dealer or retailer, and no location shoot is required."
Stock reports that the cost ranges between $120 and $840 per finished commercial. "The production cost is bundled with a paid advertising program and requires no money down," she also notes. "Incidentally, we don't charge by the amount of traffic—or the number of clicks–that view the video, but rather on a set monthly subscription cost.
Everyone is impressed with the power of video ads to reveal the personality of the small business owner, Stock also reports. "It conveys the added confidence you feel when you know will be dealing with a real person, instead of an impersonal corporate entity. Small-business video makes people feel they are dealing with people who will personally take care of them. We think it's a great equalizer for small businesses who may be competing with larger companies."
Online video content is growing by leaps and bounds. Internet video streaming currently accounts for over 30 percent of Internet traffic and is growing rapidly due to the growing availability and use of online video content: user-generated movies, television shows, "live" news footage and special interest videos such as exercise, health, cooking, and more. A recent study showed that six out of 10 Internet users now watch video content online. Studies also show that people now spend as much time on the Internet as they do watching television. With its incredible growth, video advertising often generates 10-30 times more revenue per ad spot than search, banner and other display ad formats.

Canada's Conservative government on verge of collapse
By Randall Palmer
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's minority government teetered on the edge of collapse on Friday, less than two months after its re-election, as opposition parties talked of forming a coalition to replace the ruling Conservatives.
Both the Conservatives and the three opposition parties were engaged in high-stakes brinkmanship over the fiscal update that Finance Minister Jim Flaherty presented on Thursday.
The opposition said the update did not contain needed stimulus for an economy increasingly squeezed by the global downturn, but they were most angered by a planned end to direct public financing of political parties.
If neither side blinks, the government will likely fall, perhaps as early as Monday, and Canada would either head into a snap election or into some sort of coalition led by the opposition Liberals.
"Canadians ... just might get a Christmas present next week and have the Conservatives turfed, which is exactly what they deserve for their mismanagement of the economy," Thomas Mulcair, deputy leader of the leftist New Democratic Party, told CBC television.
The Conservatives were in no mood to back down and argued it would be an outrage for the others to displace a government formed by a party that had won nearly half of Parliament's seats on October 14 and garnered much more popular support than any other.
"The opposition is trying to usurp the decision of Canadian voters only two months ago by changing the government without going to the people," Kory Teneycke, spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, told reporters.
"We received a strengthened mandate. The Liberals received their lowest percentage share of the vote since Confederation (in 1867). The government's agenda on the economy is moving forward." Continued...

The upcoming race for Kentucky senator is a subject of debate with many. On the one hand, we have Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has been in government his entire adult life; on the other, Matt Bevin, who owns a company and has had first-hand experience saving jobs, balancing budgets, and working in the private sector.
Mr. Bevin is a father of nine, four of whom he adopted from Ethiopia. He is pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, and a proud concealed carry gun owner who opposes higher taxes, bigger government and bailouts.
Samuel Adams once said, "If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." Matt Bevin fulfills the second description: He is a former U.S. Army captain, is not a career politician, and could help to save our country in the way he saved his family business.
Sen. McConnell has been circulating ads against Mr. Bevin, which, if the content were true, should strike fear into the hearts of all Bevin supporters. But they are not true, nor even based on fact. I suggest that those who care to know the truth visit mudslingingmitch.com, where Mr. Bevin explains and refutes the charges Sen. McConnell has leveled against him.
Mr. Bevin will be at the Julian Carroll Convention Center gun show from noon to 2 p.m. today, March 15. I encourage anyone and everyone to attend, so that they may hear what Mr. Bevin has to say and make an informed decision regarding the elections this year.

BUENOS AIRES The shares of Argentina's biggest energy company, YPF SA (YPFD.BA), closed 7.4 percent higher on Thursday ahead of an expected government takeover of the company.
YPF's stock has shed about 27 percent since the start of the year, hurt by media reports saying the government will either expropriate or buy a controlling stake in the company, which is majority owned by Spain's Repsol (REP.MC).
Some local media say President Cristina Fernandez will make an announcement on Thursday evening regarding YPF's future, but government officials did not confirm this.
The company has come under fierce state pressure to increase oil and gas production as costly fuel imports eat into Argentina's trade surplus. Fernandez nationalized private pension funds and the nation's flagship airline in 2008.
YPF's shares ended up at 123.00 pesos. Traders said a possible government intervention has already been priced in and investors are now trying to find a way to profit.
"The issue is what price will be paid for the company," said Guillermo Curutchet, an analyst at brokerage Sudamericana de Finanzas. "It's speculation at this point, but when the final announcement is made, investors should buy (the shares) because they will rise initially."
Spain's industry minister, Jose Manuel Soria, alluded to Repsol's predicament in Argentina on Thursday.
"If somewhere in the world there are gestures of hostility toward Spanish companies' interests, the government interprets them as hostility toward Spain," Soria said, without referring specifically to YPF. "And if there are gestures of hostility, they will have consequences."
The Clarin newspaper initially reported that the government sent a bill to Congress to expropriate more than 50 percent of YPF's shares. But it later changed that to say the government "may have decided" to send the proposal.
No official bill from the executive branch has been sent to Congress and a high-level source told reporters that at least five different drafts relating to YPF were being studied.
Several of Argentina's provincial governments have stripped YPF of some key production licenses recently, citing insufficient investment. YPF was privatized in 1992 after 70 years as a state company.
Repsol, which holds a 57 percent stake in the company, has been gradually reducing its holdings as it frees capital to invest in other emerging markets such as Brazil. Argentina's Eskenazi family holds 25.5 percent.
"Traders are expecting a government announcement and speculate that it will be a mixed (public-private) company," said Jorge Alberti, an analyst at online brokerage ElAccionista.
Pro-nationalization posters were plastered on walls in Buenos Aires. One of them read: "YPF - neither private nor foreign. 100 percent public; 100 percent Argentine."

Link: Windows or Macintosh?
Posted on MacBytes.com
Approved by Mudbug
What the hell is that suppose to be Am I missing something, is there more to it than what the link lead to?
Um....... Macintosh of course
duh Apple's tech support is better, atleast for now
Let hope they dont move it to India like every other country
When you call Apple you actually talk to real people (that nativly speak english) and most of the time they now something about mac so you can get your problem resolved
I agree. I've always had a good representative when I talk to Apple.
Try calling nowadays, they have call centres in India too now...
I definitely spoke to someone in India last year when my wife's iPod mini was stolen and I called to see if there was something they could do about it. They were very nice and helpful, and spoke English very well, but after I got transferred to someone more senior, they ultimately gave me a phone number to Apple's "Security line," which turned out to be the security office at the Infinite Loop campus.
I am sure it depends on the time. Many large corporations have overnight (US time) call centers in india or other countries.
I called in for an issue on my Powermac (last Thursday) and got someone from the US (I asked).
I was reading an article the other week which said that a lot of the staff in call centres in India take a lot of abuse from American customers who are angry that some cheap Indian in some poor 3rd world country is getting paid $30 US a month do do a job that they were doing. A lot of the call centres go through a lot of staff who get sick of handling hundreds of calls a day with a very high percentage being abusive irate callers with computer problems and so they leave their jobs. British Airways outsources their customer support and airline booking to India since it is cheaper than getting an expensive Brit to do the same work.
I imagine that's true
I for one, always try to be polite with whomever I'm talking to on the phone. Firm yes, abusive no.
I've never understood why so many people find the need to be abusive to those they consider of lesser stature (secretaries, delivery people, phone support, etc...) they're just trying to do their job, and without them where would the rest of us be?
Where did they get a ratio of 1,000 to 1 viruses? Wouldn't that mean there was at least one Mac virus? Do they know something the rest of the world doesn't?
Even worse, they recommend PCs *AND* Macs have anti-virus software installed, which as we all know can cause huge problems on a Mac (especially Symantec crap.)
I don't install virus protection on any of my clients' computers.
I believe there are a few around:
The security risk where a widget got installed automatically without the user's intervention is a vulnerability, not a virus.
I personally hate apples support. Everytime I call they dont know how to fix it and when I tell them to get me someone else they say stuff like "Sir you need to calm down" so I stop and ask quietly and I always seem to get the "stressed" one and they start flippin out. And then hang up. Actually this only happened once, Im proud to say that these forums resolve most of my problems
source: www.macvirus.org
That looks like a virus to me, there are few floating around. Not saying anything against Apple, I just saying that they apparently exist, or so this website lists some.
Correct, but obviously OS X was not around there, nor does Apple sell any Macs that can boot up in anything but OS X (let's leave Intel Macs out of this for now) and OS X, which Consumers Report magazine is considering "Apple computers" and "Macintoshes" there's no reason to run antivirus as OS X is not vulnerable to the linked virus.
As it still stands, there are no viruses for OS X.
Re: WDEF virus
"date_discovered 1989-00-00"
So, yeah, it's a little old.
This site does its readers a disservice by not stating which version of the OS these viruses apply to.
i don't really see the point in this, but anyways, i vote for Macintosh. even though i've been a windows user my whole life, and i know more about windows, i still vote for Macintosh, and i probably will only buy macs from now on unless i just have to have a windows machine for work or something
Worse, isn't there like 500,000 viruses/worms/malware for windows? Then this statement would imply 500 viruses for OSX, and, as we all know, that is just plain false. This kind of journalism is very irresponsible. The correct statement ought to have been: a ratio of 500,000 to 0." If they felt the need to discuss viruses for os9 and earlier, then they should have mentioned that in a separate remark with an explanation.
Maybe he just didn't want to use "ratio" with 0, so used 1 instead. Should have been more clear that viruses just aren't a problem on the Mac.
By the way, all that aside, this paragraph doesn't exactly entice me to want to subscribe to ConsumerReports.
Me either. Honestly, what bothered me was that they implied that OS X doesn't handle entertainment as well as Windows. I mean, haven't they seen FrontRow?
Patched in 10.4.1
Security count:
Viruses: None
Rootkits: 1, requires admin password every login (a dead monkey could figure out that asking your password after you've logged in is sucpicious)
Root-Vulns: Almost all but the occasional 0day are patched
One of the many reasons I no longer do. They may be great for toasters, but when it comes to anything more complicated (especially electronics they know nothing about) I wouldn't exactly trust them. Sadly, many still do. Even their compliments are backhanded or based on incorrect info.
Be nice if you e-mail them.
I guess it's just to point out that consumer reports did some sort of comparison (even if it was luke warm or ambiguous in nature) and they found Apple to have those advantages listed in the article.
I kind of wish there had been more to that but oh well.
Just wanted to chime in on the tech support india thing. I had a bad call one time when calling in to Quark tech support. Obviously was in India or some other country. Was really hard to understand the persons I was speaking too and they didnt seem to know much about the problem. I am always nice, but it was annoying and just another reason why I hate using Quark products.
