Teaching residents to act morally in the presence of risk
As Rushworth Kidder (2006) suggested, moral courage bridges talking ethically and performing ethically. Although Kidder's book is meant for everyone, it is a must for physicians and dentists. Performing ethically is not always easy and is therefore important to be stressed during formal educational programs. Dental students must recognize that moral courage is frequently needed to address ethical issues in order to take action for doing the right thing when questionable issues arise with patients ...

Between 1982 and 2008, the number of people getting braces in the U.S. increased by 99 percent, according to the AAO Patient Census Study conducted by the American Association of Orthodontics. This dramatic growth has resulted in a large number of patients looking for information to prepare for orthodontic treatment and guide them through the often challenging process.

Do dental students treat patients holistically and humanely during dental competency examinations? As student dentists progress through their education, clinical skills are learned and then challenged during competency and licensure exams to make certain that the student is prepared to practice dentistry independently. State and regional board examiners detail the requirements and percentage value for caries preparation form, restoration anatomy and integrity, and the maximum length of time allowed ...

During the 1960s, when the Begg lightwire and the Tweed edgewise were the mainstream techniques of orthodontic therapy, Dr. Maxwell Fogel and Dr. Jack Magill introduced their "Combination Technique" (Fogel & Magill, 1969). The Combination Technique's philosophy was based on combining the positive and significant attributes of Begg lightwire and Tweed edgewise techniques to produce a system that corrected malocclusions quickly and easily for the orthodontist.

When students and residents talk about "doing research," many are not thinking in the realm of classic research approaches, but rather writing an article on a specific topic or exploring a limited clinical project. Most medical and dental students think about the quantitative approach because it has been used as the method of choice for many years, whereas the social science students are more familiar with qualitative methodologies.

Abstract: Maxillary and mandibular expansion has been proposed to increase the arch perimeter and to avoid extractions during orthodontic treatment. Although controversy has persisted over the stability of expansion techniques, there is an increasing trend toward "non-extraction." This article describes a novel method to produce expansion of the dental arches, and at the same time, to treat muscular dysfunctions which may be the etiological factor of the malocclusion.

The three late-period commits are now official for Ole Miss basketball, and there could be one more signee coming.
It's recruiting, so you never know exactly what you've got until everybody gets together, but the importance of a shooter cannot be overstated. If Marshall Henderson can come in and contribute from 3-point range quickly and consistently it changes the complexion of a team that will return a skilled and experienced frontcourt.
Said Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy in the release: "Marshall is an outstanding shooter who will immediately bring some much-needed scoring to our backcourt."
From Media Relations
OXFORD – The Ole Miss men's basketball team added three players to its 2011-12 signing class, including a first-team Junior College All-American, head coach Andy Kennedy announced Friday.
Joining the Rebels for the 2012-13 academic year will be junior college transfers Marshall Henderson (Hurst, Texas) and Jason Carter (Houston, Texas), as well as prep school signee Derrick Millinghaus (Schenectady, N.Y.).
Henderson, a 6-2, 180-pound guard, recently led his South Plains College Texans to the junior college national championship and No. 1 ranking in the NJCAA with a perfect 36-0 record. The NJCAA first-team All-American scored 32 points in the title game victory over Northwest Florida and was named to the All-Tournament team. Playing for coach Steve Green, Henderson averaged 19.6 points per game and made 41 percent from 3-point territory (128 of 312) and 87 percent of his free throws (91 of 105) this season en route to conference MVP honors.
The native Texan began his college career at Utah. He started 30 games and averaged 11.8 points as a freshman and was named honorable mention All-Mountain West. He transferred to Texas Tech where he sat out his sophomore season before electing to transfer to South Plains last year after Texas Tech terminated head coach Pat Knight. In prep ball, he scored 2,829 career points while playing for his father at L.D. Bell High School and averaged 25.8 points his senior year en route to district MVP honors.
Henderson will have two years to play two for the Rebels.
Carter, a 6-8, 230-pound forward, will arrive in Oxford after one season at Chipola Junior College under the direction of head coach Jake Headrick. Before going down for the season with a knee injury early in conference play, Carter led the Indians to a 19-1 record and averaged 15 points and eight rebounds per contest.
Carter played in 16 games for Alabama as a freshman in 2010-11, averaging 1.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in limited minutes. Originally from New Orleans, Carter's family moved to Texas after Hurricane Katrina. He attended Christian Life Center Academy in Humble and averaged 14.6 points and 10 rebounds in leading CLCA to a 30-1 record as a senior.
Coming out of high school, he was ranked as a three-star recruit and No. 107 nationally by Rivals.com.
Carter will have three years to play two for the Rebels. He chose Ole Miss over Missouri, LSU, Texas Tech, Long Beach State and Arizona State.
A 5-10, 160-pound point guard, Millinghaus attended Believe (N.C.) Academy this season after graduating from Queen City (N.C.) Prep following the 2010-11 campaign. At Believe, he averaged 28 points per game and shot 43 percent from beyond the arc.
A native of Schenectady, N.Y., Millinghaus played at Schenectady High School through his junior year. He averaged 20.5 points in 2009-10.
Millinghaus will have four years to play for the Rebels. He chose Ole Miss over Cincinnati, Georgia, Miami and Hofstra.
The trio will join Ole Miss' two additions from the fall signing period – Martavious Newby (Memphis, Tenn.) and Anthony Perez-Cortesia (Cumana, Venezuela) – to bolster a roster that should include four of five starters from a team that went 20-14 and made the NIT.

McKinney Boyd theatre students to perform at international festival
Staff report
Published: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 11:57 AM CST
The McKinney Boyd High School Broadway Broncos will take their theatrical production of "Legally Blonde" on the road this summer to Lincoln, Neb.
They'll perform before a national audience at the Fiftieth Festival of the International Thespian Society, one of the biggest high school theatre events of the year.
More than 70 students from McKinney Boyd will present the musical during the week of June 24-29 on the festival main stage, in front of nearly 5,000 theatre students and professionals from across the U.S. and Canada, a McKinney ISD release stated.
Invitation to perform at the festival is a highly coveted honor among high school theatre programs, and inclusion of the McKinney Boyd production is a first for McKinney. Only the top 8 to 10 shows from around North America are chosen each year for the festival, according to the release.
"I am incredibly proud of the company of 'Legally Blonde,'" said Vicki Kirkley, McKinney Boyd theatre director. "It has been a privilege to work with amazingly talented students and watch them grow through this production process. The Broadway Broncos have been working to raise the bar for theatre in our community and this invitation shows that we are well on our way as we strive for excellence."
Festival week offers learning opportunities for students and educators in the form of workshops and master classes, a student leadership program, auditions for college admission, Thespian scholarships, the Thespian Playworks student playwriting program and more.
Because of the costs involved in transporting and providing accommodations for 70 students on a six-day trip, along with the equipment required to produce a large-scale musical, the Broadway Broncos will be raising money over the next few months to make it happen. Anyone interested in donating to their effort can contact Vicki Kirkley at

John Goodman throws support behind blues museum
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Actor and St. Louis County native John Goodman is helping lead a push for a National Blues Museum in St. Louis.
KMOX Radio reports that the TV and movie star appears in a YouTube video posted Monday pushing for the museum that would sit in downtown St. Louis.
Goodman says in the video that the museum would be a fitting tribute to the city's blues legacy and the musicians who got their start in St. Louis, including Ike and Tina Turner, Miles Davis and Chuck Berry.
Pinnacle Entertainment has donated $6 million toward the $13.5 million cost of the proposed museum.

The octopus has a remarkable ability–it can blend seamlessly with its surroundings, changing its appearance to mimic plants, rocks or even other animals.
Similarly deceptive is an upcoming junk study from a Koch-funded think tank that has taken on the format and appearance of a truly scientific report from the US Government, but is loaded with lies and misrepresentation of actual climate change science. The false report is a tentacle of the Kochtopus–with oil and industrial billionaires Charles and David Koch at the head.
UPDATE: Climate scientists at the University of Maryland's Center for Environmental Science lambast the counterfeit Cato report for mimicking the scientific report they authored:
"As authors of that report, we are dismayed that the report of the Cato Institute, ADDENDUM: Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States, expropriates the title and style of our report in such a deceptive and misleading way. The Cato report is in no way an addendum to our 2009 report. It is not an update, explanation, or supplement by the authors of the original report. Rather, it is a completely separate document lacking rigorous scientific analysis and review."
The report's disgraced author, Patrick Michaels, has made his largely undistinguished career shilling for fossil fuel interests, including his stay at the Cato Institute, which published the counterfeit report. After admitting to CNN that 40% of his funding is from the oil industry alone, even Cato was embarrassed enough to clarify that "Pat works for Cato on a contract basis, not as a full-time employee. Funding that Pat receives for work done outside the Cato Institute does not come through our organization." Continue reading

00Savings???will4567I'm sorry, but I have to be somewhat cynical about the projected savings. It is easy to claim savings based on bogus numbers like comparing the contract value to an "independent government estimate" that was inflated because the estimate was poorly prepraed. Or comparing the low bidder to the high bidder and claiming that as a savings. Or claiming savings when the contract is first awarded, even though the contractor is delivering an incomplete or low-quality product or there are changes or claims to drive the final cost up substantially. The reality is that measuring savings takes some very sophisticated analysis to ensure that the dollars claimed are comparing apples to apples and not grapes to apples.33593{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0Fuzzy Math ((1 + 1) 9)gsaconcernCan you tell me one corporation that has eliminated virtually all its suppliers and saved money? How in the world can you eliminate 18,000 vendors and replaced them with only a handful of suppliers? Has any software company been allowed to gather all 18,000 vendor products & prices and compare prices & products of the 15 FSSI vendors per schedule? Competition works - Federal Strategic Sourcing is a 1940's 20th Century Solution. These are my thoughts I believe on an annual basis each company that holds a GSA Schedule Contract should be allowed to bid on each item so the government can obtain the lowest cost / highest quality per bidder. The winning BPA GSA vendor can be rewarded with 5% of the total sales of a particular item. The other vendors would be required to match or provide a lower item price provided by the winning GSA vendor. Also, the non-winning BPA vendors cannot upload given item(s) to gsaadvantage.gov or offer given item to the government unless they can provide a lower price or match the winning vendor item price. Wow! what a concept - Reward the winning bidder with 5% sales of a particular item (NOT THE ENTIRE SCHEDULE) but allow other competitors to offer a lower price GSA never introduced an alternative to FSSI (Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative). This procurement theory actually denies 17,000 companies from selling to the federal government., hence leaving only 10 or 15 companies per schedule selling items to Uncle Sam. Via Economics 101 past experiences, a handful of companies vs 10,000s of vendors will create one of these 2 scenarios : a) price fixing and oligopolies & monopolies. b) The government will strong arm these very few FSSI vendors companies to offer such low prices hence, forcing these FSSI vendors to sell non-trade compliant items just to compete. GSA needs to make a decision - do they want low prices or trade compliant items. I would like to present a 21st Century Competitive Solution vs FSSI I strongly believe GSA should modify existing software to control buyers rather than eliminating competition via the FSSI procurement program. If buyer breaks protocol hence buyer would be disciplined. This software project can be done without additional funding. GSA, DoD & NASA can prioritize this software project via existing employed Software Engineers. It takes the will and priority to make this happen. Also, I am certain GSA will claim it does not have available software engineers to complete this non-funded task. GSA can simply lay-off several employees in various departments in order to fund this task and/or by putting secondary software projects on the back burner hence prioritizing this software project. This assignment should not take more than several million dollars and can be done with no additional funding. From what I can see there are some really big holes in the procurement process. 1) Via this GAO report http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-12-705T most purchases were made outside of GSA procurement web site www.gsaadvantage.gov. ; A solution to this problem would be take away the buyers PHYSICAL credit card and store the credit card information online via www.gsaadvantage.gov ; This also protects the credit card # and information from possibly being compromised. Again this software project can be done with no additional funding. Amazon.com is a perfect example if you want to see how this works. I know the government is not a company but I am certain GSA has great software engineers to accomplish this task via a top priority and no additional funding software project. For open market purchases buyer currently utilize fbo.gov and/or other existing procurement sites. The same projects can be accomplished via these sites. 2) An independent software company should be allowed to screen scrape information from gsaadvantage.gov to prove selected FSSI Vendors "DO NOT" offer the lowest prices/ best quality. 3) Via Vendor uploads develop back end software to monitor and reject outrageously priced items. Example a $25,000 toilet seat or $5,000 hammer. Statistical databases exist via the free market to determine low / high prices per item hence halting outrageously priced item(s) uploaded to gsaadvantage.gov. GSA software engineers would need to create software to utilize this database. 4) I believe various government buyers have different volume purchase requirements. FSSI is not a one size fits all solution. Example many government buyers have less than a $3,000 requirement. Internet purchasing may be more advantageous for this type of purchase. Example open competition via gsaadvantage.gov 5) GSA claims its employees are overworked and can no longer handle additional and/or existing vendors. All existing employee manual operations should be analyzed via GSA's Software Engineers to automate current manual human labor. It may be possible to handle unlimited vendors and buyers once this project is completed. Each new additional GSA Human assignment should be analyzed by software engineers for possible automation. Again this can be a non-funded project as explained above. 6) I strongly believe an independent software company should be allowed to give alternative 21st Century solutions versus FSSI. 7) Reduce the number of schedule solicitations. Currently GSA claims it costs $3,000 per year, per contract to maintain each contract and numerous GSA employees. There are 40 solicitations (GSA and VA). The solicitations should be consolidated down to a handful—with a goal of a single solicitation (contractors could then choose to consolidate their contracts or maintain separate contracts depending on their business models). The current structure of the schedules often forces companies to submit multiple offers for multiple contracts when a single contract would be more efficient. Consolidating solicitations allows companies to efficiently and effectively consolidate contracts rather than having multiple contracts across schedules and business lines. This approach would provide the opportunity for contractors and GSA to reduce costs associated with seeking, obtaining and managing multiple schedule contracts. It is an opportunity to leverage contractor and GSA resources through a more efficient structure. Consolidating schedules would lead to a more efficient and effective platform for market research by customer agencies. Also all human manual work should be analyzed via GSA software engineers for automation and efficiency. 8) I have heard from the grapevine that GSA's software is awash in horrible spaghetti software code making it virtually impossible to make necessary modifications to move this agency into the 21st century. Hiring competent small business software companies would be the logical choice to fix this problem. This can be done without additional funding via laying off various GSA employees and/or putting all secondary software projects on the back burner. 9) It is this writer's belief FSSI is nothing similar to Corporate volume purchasing. Example lets take Walmart. They currently have 66,000 vendors and counting each day. FSSI eliminates virtually all competition with possible oligopoly price fixing. Keep in mind all vendor prices are available via gsaadvantage.gov Giving very few companies exclusive selling rights via a long term contract and eliminating competition is not the answer. Why have 1,000s of existing GSA software programs go to waste monitoring a few vendors. GSA needs to enhance existing software to truly and easily maintain a vigorous open competitive market via existing web sites (gsaadvantage.gov and other existing procurement sites). Programmatically controlling the buyer via software is the 21st solution.33596{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0Green Rated Strategic SourcingKinsmanSomething is amiss, A green rating was given to Strategic Sourcing not red.

Michael Polito of New Fairfield recently stood before the state Board of Firearms Permit Examiners, trying to get a pistol permit, which had been denied at the local level.
"My wife and I want to have a hobby and go shooting, we have friends who go shooting," Polito told the board members.
New Fairfield First Selectman John Hodge said he denied Polito because the application asks for any arrests or convictions and Polito checked, "No," but a background check showed a driving under the influence case.
Hodge said he denied the application for "lack of accuracy." Hodge said he called to question Polito, asked if he'd ever been arrested, and he again said, "No." After further questioning, Polito said he had a DUI arrest, but the case was dismissed. Later, Hodge said he received documentation that showed Polito had paid a fine.
"I felt he lied three times," Hodge told the board. "Too many people don't take those two questions (about prior arrests and convictions) seriously."
When questioned by the board, Polito said he checked "no" on the application because he had forgotten about the old case, which dates back to around 1987.
"I thought it was a driving violation, not an arrest," Polito said. "I didn't think it was an arrest — I got pulled over and fined. It was 25 years ago."
Attorney Ralph Sherman of New Britain, who represented Polito at the hearing, told the board his client went to get a copy of his record and gave it to the first selectman.
"It ended up being a violation from 25 years ago," Sherman said. "We are talking about a motor vehicle violation half his life ago."
But board members expressed doubt that anyone would forget a prior arrest. Continued...
T. William Knapp, board member and secretary, and a retired Wethersfield police chief, said he was arrested for illegal hunting in a state park in 1955, and he has never forgotten it, and he has always listed it on applications over the years.
Board member James Greer told Polito that if the permit application had been completed accurately in the first place, they wouldn't be sitting there discussing it, as Polito likely would have gotten approval.
The board ultimately upheld Hodge's decision, so Polito remains without a pistol permit.
After the hearing, Polito said, "I guess I've got to try again."
The board considered a variety of cases at its January meeting. A recurring concern among police and other local issuing authorities was about applicants not disclosing their past arrests and convictions.
(Police slam permit appeals board.)
While some police are upset about how often their decisions are overturned (slightly more than half the appeals over the past two years were granted), at its Jan. 24 meeting, the board sided with police or the issuing authority in all cases that came to a vote.
Howard Haughton of New London came before the board because police denied his permit application. Police told the board his application didn't disclose all his past arrests, only one narcotics arrest. Police claimed Haughton is unsuitable based on three narcotics arrests.
While Haughton countered that he had no record of violence, the board sided with police and upheld the denial of the permit.
"Three different arrests involving narcotics over a span of years is troubling," Greer said. Continued...
Another man, Donald Piombo Jr., appealed the revocation of his permit. Police claimed he lifted his shirt to show that he had a handgun to another motorist following a minor motor vehicle accident.
Piombo called it a misunderstanding, and he said the other driver may have seen his weapon when he bent over while checking the damage to his vehicle.
The board concluded that Piombo needs to mature before he carries a gun in public, and sided with police.
In another case, a woman appealed the revocation of her pistol permit. The woman told the board she had made suicidal comments after being depressed because she had lost her job. She said she is no longer depressed, but the board sided with the police, saying not enough time has passed and suicidal ideation needs to be taken seriously.
When considering a case, Knapp said the board will look at the reason the person was denied, which can range from the existence of a protective or restraining order to a conviction to one's temperament.
"It is such a wide variety of reasons," Knapp said. "It could be because you are known as a person who loses their temper. The law has varying definitions of what is 'suitable.' I have seen denials based on someone being a hothead alone."

today a Lizzardman tried to steal from and kill Adran Gesse. The thieve was regualr size and spoke the new language. He tried to buy some poisend Daggers from Adran but he denied to sell them to him. He couldn't accept the no and decided to force him to give the weapons him so he tried to tie him up but failed. As result of this he attacked him near the craftsmen. Alrik Grimler tried to help Adran against the thief but the attacker was faster. As the recruts Gereon and Leomar joined the attacker already struck Adran down and stole his money, 35 copper coins, ran away and disappeared.

Engel, alongside Balkiz and cameraman John Kooistra, spoke of how they tried to use jokes to keep each other's spirits up during their long ordeal.
Kooistra said that he had "made good with my maker" and with himself, and that he had been "prepared to die many times."
Engel also pointed out how fortunate they were to have been released unharmed while so many others in Syria remain in captivity or fear for their lives.
Syria's government has severely restricted foreign news organizations' access to the country.
NBC has not named all the crew members, but the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said there were two Americans, a Briton of Jordanian origin, a Turk and a German of Syrian origin in the NBC team.
Conflicting accounts have emerged of who was responsible for the crew's abduction and subsequent release.
Engel said he had "a very good idea" of who kidnapped them, saying it was the Shabiha, a militia loyal to the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
He said their captors talked openly of their loyalty to the government and of their Shia faith. The majority of the rebels are Sunni Muslims. Engel said the NBC journalists were told they had been captured with the intention of exchanging them for Iranians and Lebanese held by the rebels.
The Observatory also cited a rebel who participated in the operation to release the NBC team as saying that gunmen loyal to the Assad regime were behind the kidnapping.
However, NBC said earlier the abductors belonged to an unknown group that was "not believed to be loyal to the Assad regime."

Devun Snowboard DC
Devun Snowboard DC Shoes: If powder is your passion this Board is for you!
Devun Snowboard DC Shoes Specs:
- 154cm: Blue/Red, 157cm: Blue/Red, 162cm: Olive/Red
- Advanced weaponry for The King of the BC Backcountry
- Fresh Deck Top Sheet
- Micro Camber
- Slugger Core
- CamberCore
- Radius2Flat
- Carbon Quadrax
Devun Snowboard DC Shoes: DC's Camber Core is the secret ingredient that allows us to give our Anti-Camber boards the pop of a Traditional Camber board, yet remain fun and playful. This unique feature helped our boards win several awards last season. By adding a unique arch shaped profi le to the wood core, the fi berglass takes on a completely new geometry, like that of a bridge. We've integrated this "arched fiberglass" shape into the anti-camber zone to give the boards more pop and added resistance when fl exing the tip and tail.
Devun Snowboard DC Shoes: The board is flat through the center and has a +1.5mm of positive camber in the tip and tail. Combine this with the DC's revolutionary Camber Core, you get the feel and pop of a full camber board while maintaining the forgiveness and pow float of a flat board.
Devun Snowboard DC Shoes: After receiving rave reviews and awards Radius To Flat has earned its spot on every board in our line. The flat surfaces at the tip and tail of the board provide lift in powder to keep you floating in the deepest snow, while the radius blends in perfectly with the sidecut to create effortless transitions from edge to edge.

SEATTLE (AP) — Former Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens was arrested on suspicion of assaulting U.S. women's soccer team goalkeeper Hope Solo a day before their planned wedding day, according to police and court records.
A Kirkland Municipal Court judge released Stevens after a court appearance Tuesday, saying there was no evidence connecting Stevens to any assault, according to news reports. He was arrested early Monday for fourth-degree domestic violence assault but wasn't charged.
Solo appeared in the courtroom Tuesday afternoon, but left without saying anything to reporters, according to KING-TV.
A call to a number listed for Stevens in court documents rang unanswered. A message left at a listed number for Solo was not immediately returned.
Stevens, 33, and Solo, 31, applied for a marriage license Thursday, according to King County records.
The two, who have been in a relationship for two months, were set to get married Tuesday and argued over whether to live in Washington or Florida after their marriage, according to court documents.
Police in the Seattle suburb of Kirkland responded to a disturbance at a home around 3:45 a.m. Monday involving a physical altercation between eight people during a party, said Kirkland police Lt. Mike Murray.
He said officers contacted several people in the home who appeared intoxicated and didn't cooperate with police, but determined based on information and observations that there was probable cause to arrest Stevens for investigation of fourth-degree assault. Murray didn't identify the alleged victim, but court records show it was Solo, who received a cut to her elbow.
Court documents show that Solo's 36-year-old brother, Marcus, called 911, and that he and Solo told officers there was a party and blamed the disturbance on two to three unknown men who were at the party. Marcus Solo told police he used a stun gun on one of the men, who left the party before police arrived, according to court records.
According to court documents, a police officer found Stevens, "who appeared to be hiding," lying between the bed and the wall in an upstairs bedroom. Stevens told officers he was sleeping on the floor and didn't hear the fight. The officer saw signs of a fight, and dried blood on Stevens' shirt. Continued...
The officer noted in his affidavit for probable cause for arrest that he arrested Stevens based on his admission that he argued with Hope Solo, the injury to her elbow, signs of a fight in the bedroom where Stevens was found and blood on Stevens' shirt.
One 32-year-old woman was taken to the hospital for treatment of a hip injury, and another man suffered multiple bumps, scrapes and contusions, Murray said.
"If officers find that an assault may have taken place, then we have to make an arrest on who we determine is the primary aggressor," Murray said.
Stevens was selected with the No. 28 pick of the 2002 draft by the Seahawks after a stellar career on the field at Washington. But he also was involved in incidents away from football that included reckless driving charges for crashing into a nursing home.
He was mostly a first-round bust with the Seahawks, except for the 2005 season when he started a career-high 12 games and had 45 receptions as the Seahawks won the NFC championship.
His run-ins with the law weren't done when he left college. Stevens was arrested on reckless driving charges in 2003 in a Seattle suburb and in 2007 when he was charged with driving under the influence in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Stevens' most recent arrest came in 2010, while he was playing for Tampa Bay, when he was arrested the night before a game for possession of marijuana. He was almost immediately released by the team.

Good choice!

Comments about Kathy Ireland Home by Martin Furniture Pasadena Wood Plasma TV Stand in Brown Finish:
This is just what I was looking for, it matches the 2 cd/dvd cabinets I already owned. Needed a stand for our new 55" smart tv since a wall mount is not practical in the family room. Cymax shipped it from CA to NJ for free and it arrived in perfect condition, crated very well. I would definitely purchase from them again!

About Me High-End Shopper, High Expectations, Stylish
This unit is georgeous! It is the exact deep/rich color that was shown on the website. It is very sturdy, and the doors/drawers are all aligned and work perfectly. It came fully assembled and[...] The only assembly we had to do was to switch the door/drawer pulls around. The hinged door on top of the stand at the back is awesome for working with all of the wiring and cords for the media units we put in it. It is mid-range in price, but worth every penny!

That's how many describe Chino Valley Independent Fire District Chief Kirk Summers.
"He always had a big grin on his face. That's him all the time!" said Chino Mayor Dennis Yates.
But after nearly five years with fire district, Summers announced he will be retiring in October.
"He has 38 years of fire experience, and that will be a huge loss to our fire district, and his leadership capabilities will be missed," Yates said. "He will be sorely missed."
Summers, 56, of Trabuco Canyon, came to the district from the Orange County Fire Authority in 2007 and was deputy chief of operations until October 2010, when he was appointed as chief.
As fire chief, Summers led the district with the goal of providing the highest level of service available to the citizens of Chino, Chino Hills and surrounding unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County, according to a news release.
"He leaves some big shoes to fill," said Chino Hills Mayor Art Bennett. "He's done a great job for our district."
Under his leadership, the fire district saw such accomplishments as the opening of Fire Station 67, new Fire Station 61 and a state-of-the-art training center, officials said.
Kirk has been elected as president of the San Bernardino County Operations Chiefs Section of the County Fire Chiefs Association. He also was elected operations chief director for the California Fire Chiefs
The Chino Valley Fire District board of directors will convene Thursday to discuss the process of recruiting Summers' successor.
Summers was born in Glendale. He graduated from Newbury Park High School in Thousand Oaks and from Cal State Long Beach with a bachelor's degree in vocational education.
Summers plans on spending his retirement enjoying his family.
"This is a well-deserved retirement," said Bennett who over the years has become a friend of Summers and his family. "He and his wife will be able to spend quality time during his retirement.
"I really appreciate becoming a friend of his, and I'm going miss him."

Like most people, you have probably received offers for credit cards with 0% annual percentage rate (APR). Although this may sound too good to be true, these credit card offers are genuine. As long as you do your research and are cautious with your use, just like any other credit card, 0% APR credit cards can be very beneficial.
0% APR credit cards can actually save you money - just be aware that the zero percent interest that is offered probably has a time constraint so make sure you know what the interest rate will be after the introductory rate expires. Getting a zero interest card that you plan on using and paying off immediately can be a very smart financial move.

High school girls basketball: Berkshire building off regional final appearance in 2012 (with video)
Berkshire was one win away from advancing to the state tournament last year.
The Badgers had a magical season in which they made their first trip in school history to the Division III regional final at Cuyahoga Falls, where they were defeated by Smithville, 55-30.
They accomplished the milestone with two returning varsity starters — Harley Adler and Kayla Byler.
The Badgers, who finished last year 17-9, are in the same position again this season with two returning varsity starters in Byler, a 5-foot-10 senior forward, and Sara Patterson, a 5-4 senior guard. They have played basketball together since first grade.
Only time will tell if they can repeat history. But one thing is for certain, this Badgers group is motivated after what it accomplished last year.
"These kids were enthralled with the experience of going down to Cuyahoga Falls and playing two regional games with an opportunity to win one and possibly go to Columbus," Berkshire's seventh-year coach, Dennis Lory, said. "That's motivation in itself."
Byler and Patterson are two of four senior starters for the Badgers. The others are guards Brooke Sell (5-7) and Brittany Davis (5-6). Peyton Neumore, a 5-8 junior forward, rounds out the starting five.
The problem is the Badgers aren't very deep. After their five starters, the remaining players on the squad are new to the varsity team — Danielle Young (5-8 junior forward), Kaylee Evans (5-0 junior guard), Anna Carlson (5-5 sophomore guard) and Erin Drew (5-6 freshman guard).
In the Badgers' 44-18 season-opening loss to Chagrin Falls on Nov. 27, the Badgers were outscored, 16-2, in the third quarter and 10-5 in the fourth. Byler, a four-year varsity starter, scored 16 of the Badgers' 18 points. Continued...
"You want to come back and have the same team, but obviously you don't every year," said Byler, a standout volleyball player who plans to continue her volleyball career at a Division II university. "You have to work with what you have. You have to use what you have. We obviously don't have the post we had last year, but we have the same guards and we can use that."
Byler led the team with 13.5 points per game last season. She also averaged 6.7 rebounds per game, 1.9 steals per game and 1.2 blocks per game. Adler, a freshman basketball player for Notre Dame College, averaged a team-high 7.2 rebounds and 11.4 points per game. Graduated senior forward Angela Moss chipped in with 10.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.
"Whenever you come off a season like that, people expect you to sprinkle magic dust and make it happen again," Lory said. "We have talented players coming up, but we lost a lot last year.
"We just have to grow into our roles with these kids this year. The bar for these kids has always been high throughout their athletic careers, and I'm not just talking basketball. It's high in everything they do. I don't have to encourage them to be successful. They aren't arrogant, but they are confident in their abilities."
Like Byler, Patterson also stands out in other sports — cross country and track. This past fall, she was Berkshire's top girls cross country finisher at state in 96th place overall. The Badgers placed seventh as a team in Division III.
"Last year, we progressed as a team and we worked with what we had," Patterson said. "We need to focus on doing things that will make us better.
"We definitely have a target on our back. We just need to show everyone we are still Berkshire and we are still working as hard as we did last year. It's just a different team."

The malware affects the Domain Name Service -- one of the key pieces of Internet infrastructure. The DNS basically translates a web address into language computers can understand.
Experts say it all started when hackers ran an online advertising scam with the goal of gaining control of hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide.
Last year, the Federal Bureau of Investigation moved in to take down the hackers, but now they're about to pull the plug on backup servers that have continued to allow infected computers to get online for the past eight months.
"When the FBI went to clean up all these computers there came a time when they said we can't support this crutch anymore. There has to be a time when we turn it off. So they are hoping that after all this time if you have been infected you know now that you need a fix," said CNET Senior Editor Bridget Carey.
The thought of losing Internet access struck fear into the hearts of many New Yorkers.
"I would die. I wouldn't be able to function," said one New Yorker.
"You know I would be worried because I couldn't access my bank account information. I bank online," said another New Yorker.
At J&R Music and Computer World in Downtown Manhattan, sales representatives say they have had just a few people come in to ask about the malware, but most people who spoke with NY1 had not heard of it at all.
"And if anyone has any concerns to discuss the situation with them and they will tell them how simple and explain how to remedy the problem," said J&R Spokesperson Abe Brown.
"I wasn't concerned because I didn't know. But now I want to know what is going to happen," said one computer user.
"I wish I had heard about it before so I could fix it," said another computer user.
To see if your computer is infected and to find links to fixes, visit DCWG.org.

Coffee and Espresso Grinders »
The most integral piece of coffee brewing equipment isn't found in anything you brew with — it's your grinder. Filtered water brought to a near-boil, when combined with fresh, quality coffee, has the potential to unlock all sorts of flavors and aromas that will tantalize the palate. But if that coffee is ground improperly those delicate and robust characteristics will become muted or completely washed out. Our conical and flat burr coffee and espresso grinders will provide a consistent grind for a superior brew.

When it comes to serving freshly brewed coffee in a commercial setting, one key dilemma has continually arisen. How can a commercial, high volume coffee shop make quick, fresh coffee without sacrificing quality? The solution has been either (1) to slightly sacrifice quality by making a large amount of drip coffee every hour or so, or (2) to preserve quality but to slow down production and possibly lose a potential profit with single-cup brewing (V60, Chemex, French Press, etc.). The brewing process that the Bunn Trifecta is built upon could be the answer to this significant dilemma.
The Trifecta has been anxiously awaited by the coffee community since Starbucks bought the rights to the Clover brewing system and took it off the market. At a fraction of the price of the Clover, the Trifecta could be the next-generation coffee system. The process is incredibly simple and efficient without sacrificing quality. It can be compared to a Syphon Brewer in its use of total immersion, constant temperature, and agitation of the grounds.
First, the hot water completely saturates the freshly ground beans resulting in a French Press like immersion. This takes advantage of the total extraction of beans that can only take place in full immersion brewing systems.
Second, Air is injected into the pressurized chamber which agitates the grounds. This further enhances extraction by exciting the grounds and water as they interact with each other.
Third, at just the right time (before over-extraction can take place), the pressurized air presses the coffee through a metal filter into the waiting cup. Similar to the Aeropress, this added pressure further enhances the extraction process and ensures a full-bodied flavor in the coffee. To read a full, hands-on review of the Bunn Trifecta by our coffee team, click here: Bunn Trifecta First Impression. -
The Fretta Iced Coffee Brewer is Hario's answer to brewing the perfect cup of iced coffee. Hario has combined their famous V60 brewer with a decanter and plastic diffuser to assure that the coffee is quickly cooled by hitting ice immediately after the brewing process. This quick heat transition is important in conserving the flavor of the coffee. The Fretta comes with 10 size 02 paper filters. We recommend that you purchase extra filters as well. To do this select filters as an add-on from the options on the right or go to our Hario 02 filter listing. Also recommend is a pouring kettle. We offer both the Hario Buono Kettle as well as the Kalita Wave Pot Kettle in the drop-down menu on the right.
Hario Skerton grinder is handy for manual home and travel grinding, it can also be slightly more cumbersome for an extended road trip where only a small amount of grinding will be done (for a more detailed comparison of the two grinders, check out this blog post: Hario Skerton vs. Mini Mill). For those trips (or homes) where a minimal amount of grinding is needed, the Hario Mini Mill Slim is the perfect grinding solution. The Mini Mill employs adjustable conical ceramic burrs for grinding any of the wide range of grinds employed in today's coffee market. It can effortlessly handle 24 grams of anything from fine espresso to a coarse French Press setting. Because of its lightweight (0.5 lbs) and sleek plastic body, the Mini Mill easily fits into small carrying bags and suitcases without adding a lot of extra weight. This, in conjunction with the Aerobie AeroPress coffee maker, has the propensity to make excellent coffee anywhere hot water and fresh beans are available.
The Hario Mini Mill is a traveling coffee enthusiast's dream come true.... and with its ability to grind to the fine quality needed for espresso, it can be paired with a hand-held travel espresso maker such as the mypressi TWIST (and an excellent choice of beans) to achieve a quality rivaling the product found in many high-end espresso machines. Whether the need is grinding beans for a french press, Aeropress, or mypressi, the Mini Mill Slim is the perfect travel solution.

"Sharks" – A Sensational Exhibition at Monaco's Oceanographic Museum
From 8 June, World Oceans Day, the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco is offering visitors a sensory exhibition and a chance to meet sharks. Through a new visiting experience, the public will be invited to enjoy a real adventure, to overcome their prejudices and discover the true nature of these lords of the sea.
In our imagination, sharks are often limited to a succession of terrifying images, the legacy of Hollywood thriller movies. By presenting an exhibition on this subject, the Oceanographic Museum hopes to overcome their bad reputation. Sharks kill less than ten people per year, causing far fewer deaths than jellyfish (50), mosquitoes (800,000) or road accidents (1.2 million).
These great predators are essential for the health of ecosystems, but today they are under threat. Each year, more than 100 million sharks are killed by Man. To raise public awareness of the need to protect them, the Oceanographic Museum has chosen to appeal to our emotions:
* DISCOVERING AND OBSERVING EACH OTHER: face to face in the aquariums
Quite naturally, the tour begins with the aquariums. When visitors take the stairs, they will be bathed in a soft blue light, like rays of sunshine, which penetrate the surface and diffuse a calming glow below the water. On Level -2, they will be charmed by the Shark Lagoon, a giant aquarium containing 450,000 liters (118,877.416 US gallons) of water. There, they will find several specimens – from the imposing 3m-long (9.8 ft) nurse shark to the impressive black tip sharks, as well as some new occupants, the grey reef sharks.
* GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER: interactivity at the heart of the discovery process
There's a fun approach to strolling around the rooms in the Museum. A huge digital fresco, 20 m (65 ft) long and 3 m (9.8 ft) high and resembling an aquarium, will reveal the biological and behavioral characteristics of around ten different species. The sharks are shown life size, and will swim around in front of the visitors, who can bring them to life using interactive controls.
To show the public the special structure of a shark's jaws and teeth, several large models will be on show in a "Gallery of Smiles." Visitors will be invited to use their sense of touch and will be allowed to place their hands on the impressively large jaw of a tiger shark – up to 55 cm (22 inches) high with the mouth open. Looking through a porthole, visitors can also immerse themselves in a world without sharks. A frightening simulation!
* GETTING CLOSE TO EACH OTHER: a special moment with the sharks
To bring about a reconciliation between humans and sharks, the Oceanographic Museum decided to organize a meeting with sharks at the end of the visit. This will take place gently and respectfully in a touch pool, built especially for the occasion. After observing the different species in the aquariums and getting to know them better, visitors who wish to can put aside their nervousness and slide their hand into the water to stroke the back or side of a pajama shark, striped leopard shark or starry smooth-hound. A unique experience that will enable them to play an active part in the discovery and learning process.
* MAKING THE MAGIC OF THIS MEETING LAST EVEN LONGER, thanks to art!
The Museum is renewing the dialogue between Art and Science begun by its Founder, Prince Albert Ist, by exhibiting works by young Asian artists on the theme of sharks. These works have been created especially for the occasion, and will be on show in the Salon d'Honneur (Level 0). They will invite visitors to be amazed but also to question themselves on the relationship between Man and the oceans.
Opening times:
January to March: 10 am to 6 pm
April to June: 10 am to 7 pm
July and August: 10 am to 8.30 pm
September: 10 am to 7 pm
October to December: 10 am to 6 pm
The Museum is open every day (with the exception of 25 December and the weekend of the Formula 1 Grand Prix).
The admission ticket gives access to the whole program: historic collections, temporary exhibitions and aquarium.
