What was a difficult task to begin with has now become even more challenging for the Dallas Cowboys, who will be forced to face the Pittsburgh Steelers without rookie first round cornerback Morris Claiborne, who has still not passed his concussion tests that would allow him to play on Sunday.
As of late Saturday, Claiborne could not complete the necessary tests to take the field against the Steelers. While there is a slim chance that could change on Sunday morning, with the way players are now handled following a concussion, it is all but certain that Claiborne will not suit up for Dallas in a crucial game for both teams.
The Cowboys and Steelers are both 7-6 and fighting for their collective playoff lives. One loss today could all but eliminate the chances of either tea, especially depending on what else happens with the other teams in contention for the postseason. The Cowboys are battling it out in the NFC East and would have an uphill battle with a loss, while the Steelers were already hurt when the Cincinnati Bengals won on Thursday night, as they all battle it out in the AFC North.
Speaking of the Bengals, it was during that game last Sunday where Claiborne suffered his concussion, but it was not after a hit from any player wearing orange and black. It was teammate Danny McCray who collided with Claiborne that caused the concussion as well as 10 stitches to Claiborne's mouth.
Dallas defensive coordinator Rob Ryan knows how important Claiborne is to the team's defensive scheme, but also knows that even though the Cowboys are in the thick of the playoff chase, his team will not do anything to jeopardize any of its players' health going forward.
"I know he's doing everything he can," Ryan said Friday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. "He's got to pass these [concussion] tests. That's the one thing about it. You have to follow protocol and no one can rush it no matter who you are. I think it's great for the players' safety. You have to make sure when they do come back they are ready with no trouble coming back. When Mo comes back he'll be ready to go, but until then we'll just move forward."

Berlin (Jul. 7)
For every German dying in Russia, ten Jews will be hanged in Germany, announced Herr Nippold, Nazi leader in Upper Bavaria, at a mass meeting of 5,000 persons in Munich today. He charged that Soviet-Russian Jews were responsible for the starvation of thousands of German colonists in Russia.
"A million (sic) German Jews will be made hostages if the position of the German colonists in Russia does not improve," he threatened. "The day may come," Herr Nippold stormed, "when the German people will declare that for every German citizen succumbing in Russia, ten Jews will be promptly hanged on German ga##ws."

Kimura Takuya & Shibasaki Kou to co-star in new TBS drama this fall
August 15, 2013 @ 12:32 pm

The concept of the drama is a love story that crosses through time and space thanks to a "time cable" that connects the present age with the future 100 years from now. It offers a lot of mystery and suspense, and incorporates sci-fi and action elements. Anno Hideaki and his protégé Tsurumaki Kazuya from the famed anime series 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' are reportedly the ones who fleshed out this unique concept for TBS. The script is handled by no other than Nishiogi Yumie, the mastermind behind 'SPEC' and 'Keizoku'.
Kimura is going to play a double-role in this drama, an ingenious physicist named 'Matsushima Reiji' and a mysterious android that came from the future. Shibasaki plays Reiji's fiancee 'Ando Asahi'.
Reiji finds out that someone is trying to kill him and his fiancée because of theory he recently constructed. However, he isn't able to avoid his death and loses his life in a mysterious explosion on a plane one day in 2013. His fiancée Asahi is still alive and grieving over his sudden death, but she doesn't know that he was murdered and that the killer is still out there and preparing to kill her next. All of a sudden an android appears from out of her desk's drawer and materializes to look exactly as her fiancé Reiji. Apparently he was sent from the future to protect her from the killer.
'Ando Roid ~A.I. knows LOVE?~' is scheduled to replace the network's current hit drama 'Hanzawa Naoki' on Sundays at 9:00 pm, starting in October.

KORN: Behind clutch secondary, Lee notches huge win vs. EP El Dorado
Published 12:15 pm, Saturday, September 19, 2015
Coming off of a 52-14 thrashing at the hands of Southlake Carroll last week, it was imperative that the Lee defense reset and find an answer against another juggernaut in El Paso El Dorado.
And after a long delay -- two and a half hours to be exact -- thanks to some persistent lightning in the area, the Rebel defense did just that on Friday at Grande Communications Stadium with a 35-16 win against El Dorado.
The Aztecs were averaging a mind-boggling 57.6 points per contest coming into Friday's game. Lee held them to just 16 points and even more impressively, to just 374 yards of total offense. Six of those points came on a 14-yard touchdown pass with four seconds left in the game.
The talented El Dorado quarterback Austyn Hill came out firing to start the game. He played like the gunslinger he was advertised as and the Lee secondary had difficulty containing several capable targets who got open all over the field. Hill completed an array of slant passes and deep balls and he had the Rebel defenders guessing for most of the first half, despite a near non-existent running game.
El Dorado ran 19 plays on its first drive and by the end of the first quarter, had run 27 plays to just three for Lee. Winning the time of possession battle and keeping the Aztecs offense on the sidelines as much as possible was a key to this game for Lee coming in.
Though the Rebel defense struggled at first, it certainly came around.
On consecutive El Dorado possessions in the second quarter, Tristian Martinez and Dedrick Strambler each came up with an interception. Martinez' interception came in the end zone, as it directly prevented an El Dorado score.
And with the help of some penalties, as well as Lee's ability to drive the ball down the field on offense, the Aztecs trailed, 14-3, at half.
Then in the second half, the Rebels' defense and its perpetually strong running game really kicked things into gear.
Ashton Akbar's one-yard touchdown run gave Lee a 21-3 edge with 7:51 left in the third quarter. At that point, the Aztec offense practically became one-dimensional, which allowed Lee's secondary to lock in on the passing game.
The rest of the way, El Dorado's offense wasn't nearly as explosive as it was early on. To start the game, the Aztecs had been able to convert third and long after third and long. But as the game progressed, Lee tightened up and allowed fewer big plays, with the knowledge that the pass was coming.
This was an especially important win for Lee. Although it was a non-district opponent, El Dorado is a team with similar offensive capability to that of the big three District 3-6A teams in Odessa Permian, San Angelo Central and Abilene High.
All three of those teams can move the ball very efficiently and light up scoreboards. The Rebels can now call upon their experience playing against and shutting down a dangerous offense, and that could do them wonders in district play, which begins in two weeks.

Putty Squad is Back!
Fancy a sneak preview of Putty in action? Of course you do!
View the 'stretch-tastic' new Putty Squad teaser trailer below:
System 3 is proud to announce the return of one of gaming's most loved mascots: Putty!
The stretchy blue blob is all set to go digital in VITA Vision by way of the critically acclaimed Putty Squad videogame. Cited by many gaming publications as one of the best games of its time, Putty Squad follows the story of unlikely hero Putty in an old-skool platform-adventuring quest for his kidnapped friends. With reviews such as "this game is fantastic – 94%" (CU Amiga), "quite simply the best – 91%" (Amiga Power) and "just about perfect – 90%" (Amiga Format), there can be no doubting this game's proven pedigree.
The return of the game marks the beginning of a revival of System 3's classic IPs to tie in with the company's 30-year anniversary in 2012.
The very same year also marks Putty's 20th birthday, with his first Amiga outing setting screens alight in 1992.
The VITA version of the game takes things further than ever before with a complete graphical overhaul.
Every background, bitmap, enemy and ally has been redrawn and re-rendered to take advantage of the VITA's gorgeous display.
On top of that Putty Squad will also take advantage of several of the VITA's unique capabilities such as front and rear touch-screen controls and location-based unlockables!
While the VITA is set to enjoy cutting edge 3D adventures in its launch window, Putty Squad stands out by offering jaw-droppingly beautiful 2D vistas married with tried, tested and improved upon platform-adventure gameplay that has stood the test of time and come out fighting.
Putty Squad is also the perfect handheld companion, offering up a huge adventure split up into perfect journey-sized chunks.
Below you will find more information of Putty Squad VITA's many features:
A gorgeous graphical style that combines the original designs of Phillip Thornton with the fidelity and resolution afforded by the VITA's cutting edge display. Every element of the game has been redrawn and re-rendered.
The original team of Mark Cale and John Twiddy have spent months tuning, retuning and fine tuning the gameplay so that not only stands up to the test of time but also sets a benchmark for this style of gamplay. Most of these games are similar to free online slot machine games where you can play the free slots through this letsplayslots.com slotmachine website.
The VITA version will also allow gamers access to a whole host of secret levels, which were previously not available. Gamers will be rewarded for their VITA support with nearly double the amount of levels. A number of these exclusive levels will only be unlocked as part of the VITA's location-based services. These new levels will be released every 2 weeks, online through first party stores and sites.
Also, unlock new levels using the UNIQUE Sticker Book, you collect 'stickers' from hidden levels.
Some levels and Avatars will only unlock and become available when the player takes their VITA to a specific location. For example, going to a football stadium will unlock a correctly attired Avatar, visiting the natural History Museum will unlock an ancient Inca level or visiting the Science Museum will unlock an outer space level (specific locations and rewards tbc).
Rather than go crazy with touch-screen controls System 3 has chosen to map the actions that make for the best and most natural gameplay experience. The rear touch-pad will be used for various actions in the game, such as inflating/floating. Gamers will also be able to quickly zoom into the action for difficult jumps and even just to appreciate the detailed graphics even more. This can easily be done with a flick of a finger to or fro on the front touch pad.
Along with the redrawn world comes brand new artwork, which has never been seen before. This brand new artwork, designed by original designer Phillip Thornton, can be seen in various places including as intros to each level.
Multiplayer game-share options that allow up to four people to compete in tournaments, either versus or in Team Play.
Only one person needs a copy of the game in order for their friends to be able to experience Putty Squad, albeit in a limited fashion. When the link is severed the other players will no longer be able to play the game but they will immediately be given the option to buy it from PSN (exact details of game sharing tbc).
Dozens of Avatars will be made available, both via PSN and via location-based service downloads.
Easy, constant access to online leaderboards.

Anyone have a good answer for "Favorite exhaust system manufacturer"?
– "Card In Spokes"
– "mp3"
Why not get some electric representation?
Vote here, vote often.
btw… Is it just me or does their logo look like a battery?

Die-in Staged in Santa Cruz to Protest Israel's Assault on Gaza
A demonstration was held in downtown Santa Cruz on July 28 to protest Israel's continued assault on Gaza and the people of Palestine. After rallying at the Town Clock, where many of the names and ages of Palestinians killed were displayed on placards, community members marched to the Cooper House on Pacific Avenue where a die-in was staged. Individuals laid down on the sidewalk and their bodies were outlined in chalk as organizers read the names and ages of Palestinian children killed since the war began on July 8.
A press release announcing the demonstration stated: "The Santa Cruz community is calling for an end to the 7-year siege and Genocidal assault on Gaza by Israel's military, fully funded and supported by the U.S. president, congress and senate. Santa Cruz demands an end to ongoing U.S. covert operations in Iraq and Syria. More than 50% of the populations in these regions are children. War is being waged on children with our tax dollars."
"Violence on this scale has forced us into a situation in which complacency and silence is an act of complicity in violence. Our small town joins thousands of others all across the United States and the Globe to reject the massacre in Gaza," said Kali Rubaii, a UCSC graduate student who attended the demonstration.
Participants in the rally included UCSC students, members of the Palestine Israel Action Committee, Jewish Voice for Peace, Veterans for Peace, Association of Filipinas, Feminists Fighting Imperialism, Re-feudalization, and Marginalization (AF3IRM), several faith groups, as well as individuals from a variety of other local anti-war organizations.

On Wednesday, Microsoft Corporation urged Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson to dismiss the U.S. government's proposal to breakup the company as a result antitrust violations. And the company offered up its own remedy proposal, a less dramatic solution that would curb its business practices rather than split Microsoft into separate entities. And Microsoft even promised to begin implementing the requirements of its own proposal with 45 days, if the judge throws out the government's proposal. What's bizarre about this whole thing, of course, is that Microsoft still maintains its innocence and has repeatedly stated that it will appeal whatever verdict Jackson hands down. However, in the interest of meeting the required deadline set forth by Judge Jackson, Microsoft has released its own remedy proposal, one that answers the specific violations against the company found by the Court last month.
"We are working to try to resolve this case as quickly as possible, in a fair and reasonable manner," said Microsoft chairman Bill Gates. "We believe there is no basis in this case for the government's unprecedented breakup proposal, and we are hopeful that the Court will dismiss this excessive demand immediately so that the case can move forward much more rapidly. Even without the extreme breakup proposal, many elements of the government's proposed regulations are unwarranted, outside the scope of this case, and very damaging to consumers. The government's proposals would take away Microsoft's property by forcing us to disclose the source code for our products, even though Microsoft spent hundreds of millions of dollars to develop these products. The government also seeks to interfere with the design of Microsoft's products."
So instead, the company offers a conduct remedy, which was rejected by the government because it would require constant and diligent oversight of the company for an indefinite period of time. Specifically, Microsoft offers to address the following violations:
OEM flexibility - Microsoft would be required to allow PC makers to delete the Internet Explorer icon from the Windows desktop and Start menu, offer their own Internet sign-up process during the initial Windows boot sequence (the so-called "out of box experience," or OOBE), display icons for non-Microsoft platform software products on the Windows desktop, and configure a competing Web browser, such as Netscape, as the default browser if desired. This is meant to respond to Jackson's ruling that IE and Windows were illegally combined but, of course, it doesn't address this issue at all. In the Microsoft proposal, IE could simply be hidden, but not removed. Microsoft argues that removing IE from Windows is "impossible" because they are too closely tied together. Of course, this has been proven otherwise outside of Microsoft. Contracts - Microsoft would be prevented from entering into contracts that would promote any product or service through Windows that would require the other company to limit distribution of non-Microsoft platform software. Note Microsoft's use of the phrase "platform software" here: This is exactly the sort of language that makes agreements like this impossible to enforce. If Microsoft sought to prevent, IBM from bundling Lotus SmartSuite in Windows, for example, the company might argue that SmartSuite is not "platform" software and therefore does not fall under the terms of this agreement. The company used a similar tactic to violate its 1995 consent decree, which was the impetus for the antitrust trial.
Access to APIs - Microsoft would be prevented from denying any third party software developer timely and complete access to the technical information Microsoft makes available to the software development community at large. The company would also be prevented from conditioning the release of information on a developer's agreement not to support a non-Microsoft platform.
Release of products for non-Microsoft platforms - Microsoft would be prevented from withholding the release of any software product designed to run on a non-Microsoft platform that is ready for commercial release in order to urge the vendor of the platform to limit the development, manufacture, distribution or promotion of a platform software product that competes with Microsoft. This one goes right to the heart of the Microsoft/Apple agreement from 1998, where Microsoft agreed to continue development of Mac Office--critical to the continued success of the Macintosh--only when Apple agreed to promote Internet Explorer.
Predecessor operating systems - Whenever Microsoft releases a major Windows operating system such as Windows 95 or Windows 98, the company would be required to make the predecessor operating system available to computer manufacturers at a royalty no higher than the existing royalty. When Windows 98 was released, Microsoft raised the fee for Windows 95 to force PC makers to move to the new OS as quickly as possible. This artificially creates demand for newer products, making them seem more attractive than they might otherwise appear. Typically, companies lower the prices of older products as newer versions are released.
Additionally, Microsoft's proposal suggests that it would pay the attorney's fees and other costs for the 19 states that are allied with the U.S. government against the company. Microsoft says that it will implement the practices set forth within the proposal within 45 days and that it would remain in effect until July 2004. The company would provide the government with continuous access to its records to prove that it is complying with the terms of the proposal. And of course, Microsoft also reserves the right to appeal the case, even if the judge sides with the company and chooses to implement the terms of this proposal.
As controversial as this is, Microsoft's timetable requests also pose an interesting dilemma. If the judge were to accept the government's breakup proposal, the company asks Jackson to give it six months for discovery, depositions, preparation, and pre-trial motions, with a remedies trial start date of December 4, 2000. That's a lot later than Jackson is likely to want, as he's repeatedly stated that he wants this trial to proceed quickly, and not be bogged down for years. Microsoft, however, counters that such a dramatic outcome would require time to counter. The government has asked the Court to break Microsoft up and then actively regulate the two resulting companies, impairing their ability to develop new products for consumers in the highly competitive software industry," reads Microsoft's proposal. "Should the Court not summarily reject such draconian structural relief, then substantial discovery, adequate time for preparation and a lengthy evidentiary hearing will be required."
"There's never been a company that's grown through its own efforts that's been broken up in this country," says Microsoft president Steve Ballmer. "It would be a little like breaking up Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen because they won some titles, or breaking up John Lennon and Paul McCartney because they had too many number one hits. I don't think consumers would be very well served at all by that kind of action. Microsoft is making a proposal to the Judge at his request for a set of remedies that we think are proportionate to his own Conclusions of Law. And while we respectfully disagree with those Conclusions of Law, we have made a proposal today that we think is responsive to the issues that this Judge has found and would allow our industry to move forward in the kind of aggressive, positive way that it has in the past."
Microsoft's biggest problem may not be Judge Jackson or the U.S. government; it may be its own hubris. Indeed, throughout the process, the company has had a hard time keeping its arrogance from rising to the top, despite repeated internal admissions that it needed to tone down the rhetoric. As recently as yesterday, Microsoft president Steve Ballmer, speaking at a National Cable Television Association meeting in New Orleans, confidently stated, "Microsoft will not be broken up. It will not happen." The company might be better served keeping such comments to itself. At this point, a little humility might go a long way

Biopic on Narendra Modi on hold?
With the election results being announced today, the shooting of the film on the life of our next Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, is kept on hold. With the results in favour of Namo, the shooting crew thinks it will be a nice oppurtunity to show his journey from CM to PM.
Paresh Rawal will be portraying the role of Narendra Modi in the film. When asked about the progress of the film, the producer of the film said, "We shot some scenes for the film in the beginning of this year, but now the film has been kept on hold because if Narendra Modi becomes the Prime Minister, a lot of changes are required in the script. As I am busy in Cannes Film festival and Paresh Rawal campaigning for BJP, We will take a call once we get free."

An interesting study you're not likely to ever hear about came out of my own alma mater, the University of Utah, and THIS article was published in the Tribune:
Many mothers let their children eat loads of sugary food, thinking that it's okay because their kid is thin, and they'll make him brush his teeth twice a day. It turns out that sugar is harmful in so many more ways than dental decay and "empty calories." The researchers at the University of Utah found that, with the amount of added sugar many Americans eat, female mice died at twice the rate, and male mice exhibit abnormal behavior and don't reproduce.
The senior author of the study says that the mortality rate of eating the S.A.D. is the equivalent of having your parents be first cousins.

How parents can help kids get out of the nest
Rising housing prices are great for those of us who are already homeowners and get to watch our houses appreciate. But for young people hoping to buy a first home, they are quite another matter.
Sometimes the only thing making home ownership possible is the largesse of Mom, Dad or a kindly grandparent. Sometimes it's a government program that fills the gap. Sometimes it takes both.
If you are thinking about helping someone else buy a home, both of you should attend a workshop for first-time homeowners. These are sponsored by government and nonprofit agencies, banks and other mortgage lenders. You can learn about the help available and about cleaning up credit problems and qualifying for mortgages.
A cash gift toward the down payment is the most common way parents help out. This makes sense if the gift is relatively small and the child can otherwise qualify for a mortgage.
Rather than making an outright gift, some parents opt for co-ownership, which the IRS calls shared equity financing. This gives the child half the income-tax benefits of full ownership plus homestead exemption. Regular ontime payments will help the child's credit rating, and the parent's equity interest will be protected. Assuming the parent does not live in the house, his or her half interest will be treated as rental property.
One drawback is that the parent's co-ownership may make the child ineligible for government assistance. In addition, both the child's and the parent's credit will be damaged if payments are not made on time. However, co-ownership is far preferable to co-signing a mortgage without having your name on the title.
The writer of the next letter took a different approach to help her daughter.
Q. Because my daughter had no credit of her own, I purchased a house for her to live in after her divorce. She made the down payment and has paid the monthly mortgage. My name alone is on the mortgage and deed. When I received a statement of taxes and interest paid, I used it as a deduction on my income tax return. I gave the tax refund to my daughter since it was really hers, but it has been nagging at me whether I did the right thing. Was I correct in taking this deduction? If not, what can I do? I expect it will be another year before my daughter can establish credit and get a mortgage. How do I transfer the house to her then?
The IRS would not approve. You own the house and you are obligated to make the mortgage payments. Regardless of your ultimate intentions, the reality is that you are renting this house to your daughter for the amount of the mortgage payments, which I suspect are probably in the ballpark of fair market rent. That means you should report her payments on your tax return as rental income to you, offset by your expenses, including mortgage interest, real estate taxes, repairs, insurance and depreciation.
The deductions you claimed probably will not raise a red flag at the IRS. But if your return were audited, a smart auditor would ask about the property's use, looking for unreported rental income. If you want to come clean, file an amended return.
Your situation also raises potential gift tax issues, since any gift of more than $11,000 to one person in a year requires the filing of a gift tax return, even though no gift tax will be due.
When your daughter is ready to get her own mortgage, contact a title company to handle the transfer of the property and the mortgage payoff. Do not take your name off the title as long as you are obligated on the mortgage.
Q. Is it possible for someone who owns savings bonds to pay the tax on the deferred interest without converting them to cash?
Yes, it is, but I don't recommend it. If you decide to switch to annual reporting, that first year you must pay the entire tax on all the accrued interest to date on all your savings bonds. After that you pay tax only on the amount of interest earned each year. To change back to tax deferral from annual reporting requires filling out a form.
The problem is that this is a major record-keeping challenge. When the bonds are redeemed, you or whoever cashes them will get a 1099 form for the interest earned, without any notation that you have already paid taxes on all or some of it. If you die owning savings bonds and you have not kept good records, your heirs might pay the tax on the interest all over again.

Mr SIDEBOTTOM (Braddon—Parliamentary Secretary for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry) (18:08): For the benefit of the member for Hughes, I notice that he, like the member for Dickson, is either deliberately misrepresenting Labor's dental policy or is just proving that he really does not know what was in, and what is in, the 2012 May budget.
Mr Buchholz interjecting—
The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Mr Murphy ): Order! The member for Wright will cease interrupting.
Mr SIDEBOTTOM: If you listen, you might get the information instead of just trotting ideas out that popped out in a templated answer by the member for Dickson. In the budget, we committed $515.3 million to dental spending, including $345 million specifically for taking care of adults on public dental waiting lists.
Mr Craig Kelly: The waiting list is 400,000.
The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order! The member for Hughes.
Mr SIDEBOTTOM: I sat and listened to you, thank you—manners. This money will be available to state and territory public dental systems from January 2013, just one month after closure of the Chronic Disease Dental Scheme. So contrary to your comments and to the member for Dickson's comments, the money is there and is available.
Mr Craig Kelly interjecting—
Mr SIDEBOTTOM: Thank you, but they are the facts. Read about it, cogitate, ruminate and let it sink in. Australians on a low income should be very happy about the Gillard Labor government's $4 billion dental package. I know I am, even if the member for Hughes is not. This six-year package is great for the country and great news for my electorate of Braddon—an electorate with lower than average incomes and greater difficulty in accessing affordable dental care.
Nationwide, this bill means there will be around 3.4 million Australian children who will be eligible for subsidised dental care just like they are eligible for Medicare funded visits to their GP. This will come in at a cost of around $2.7 billion. This is a lot of money but it is a much needed investment in the dental health care of our younger people. It is also a targeted and much better use of taxpayer funds than previous schemes, which tended to be uncapped and far too open-ended in terms of capacity to pay.
Under this package, our federal Labor government will also provide dental services to more than one million low-income adults and Australians in rural and remote areas, focusing especially on pensioners. Again, this will advantage my region in particular, which is rural and contains remote communities. It also has a comparatively aged population and a proportion of older citizens who rely on the pension for their main source of income. This component will cost around $1.3 billion, and the funding will be provided to the states and territories under a national partnership agreement to expand public dental services for low-income adults. This funding will depend on the states and territories to at least maintain their current level of dental care services. It is, after all, a partnership and it is, after all, an agreement. We do not want to see money skimmed or diverted by states into other areas, which is a practice all too often more the case than not.
In addition to the two components mentioned above, there is $225 million for dental capital and workforce to be provided to support expanded services for people living in outer metropolitan, regional, rural and remote areas. So, Mr Deputy Speaker, if I may, I will take you through the design of the package and its rationale.
The design of this package is based on addressing increasingly poor oral health amongst Australians, particularly people from low- and middle-income families. The need is apparent, which is why this government is acting to tackle it as a priority. Needless to say, those opposite will do as they have done over the life of this parliament—and reinforced by the member for Hughes; surprise, surprise—and vote against it or stymie it. Investment in dental infrastructure will play a key role in supporting the new dental reform package.
Unfortunately millions of Australians do not visit the dentist because they just cannot afford to. We have heard this in our electorates, like Braddon, one after another. Members time and again have raised this matter in and out of caucus. As a government collective we have recognised the problem and we are funding solutions. We know low-income households have more than double the number of family members with untreated tooth decay compared with high-income households. I believe we have a responsibility to ensure the people who are least able to afford to go the dentist should have access to government subsidised dental care, particularly children. Indeed, prevention is the best measure to tackle potential dental health issues.
The kids' dental health package will provide access to dental services to many children who are not currently entitled to access public dental services. There is a distinct, measured need for this. Recent studies showed that children in the poorest areas of the country experience 1½ times the amount of tooth decay and cavities, unfortunately, compared to those in the wealthiest parts. Early intervention can significantly reduce the costs of treatment, limit early extractions and reduce chronic dental disease. The latter is a result of poor dental health care over time, and this aspect of the package is designed to mitigate such an eventuality. Emphasis on child dental care is the most effective use of funding rather than on poorly targeted later-term remediation treatments.
The dental scheme for kids means that parents can decide whether they want to take their kids to the public dental clinics or to their own local dentist. Importantly, it means actually accessing dental specialist care when it is needed by families who struggle to afford such services or are totally unable to.
Children aged two to 17 in family tax benefit part A-eligible families will be entitled to subsidised basic dental treatment. This is capped at $1,000 per child over a two-year period and it aims to address dental decay in children, which unfortunately has been increasing since the 1990s. In my electorate of Braddon, this package applies to around 8,300 families or 15,800 kids—that is nearly 16,000 eligible kids in my region.
Those opposite question why are we funding a range of new dental programs for low-income earners. Why should we change from the current Chronic Disease Dental Scheme introduced by the Howard government? First of all, a fact: one in five of our lowest income earners have not been to the dentist in over five years, if ever. Poor dental health has wide-ranging impacts on speech, sleep, eating and general health and wellbeing—not to mention, in extreme cases, social isolation and depression.
Around 400,000 Australians languish on public dental waiting lists, and millions of people go without adequate dental care. Improving dental health will help relieve the pressure on hospitals and the broader health system. Indeed, I think it is often forgotten just how integral dental health is in the holistic framework of an individual's health and wellbeing. I have often questioned—I am sure some of you have as well—why dental health has managed to be somehow separated from other health related issues covered under Medicare. It is as if our teeth and gums are different from other parts of our anatomy in terms of affecting health and wellbeing and being affected by 'unwellness'—if there is such a term.
I mentioned the current Chronic Disease Dental Scheme before. Why are we acting to dismantle this now? Since being elected in 2007, the government has been trying to shut down the Chronic Disease Dental Scheme and replace it with more effective policies. The Chronic Disease Dental Scheme is not means-tested, which means people with high and very high incomes can get $4,250 free dental care—not subsidised but free dental care—if they are eligible via the medical criteria applied, and this does not include the ability to pay. That is a fact. How can this be equitable or fair or in fact efficiently targeted when there is so much competition for the healthcare dollar in Australia?
It is not targeted, which means patients can get caps, crowns and other, often cosmetic, work at the taxpayers' expense. Now, nobody wishes chronic disease on anyone, but to not apply an income or ability-to-pay criterion on a treatment just does not stand the test of fairness. All the while, people who have bad oral health but no 'chronic disease' have trouble seeing a dentist at all. Added to the inequity I mentioned above, and exacerbating the issue further, is the fact that the cost of the scheme has completely and utterly blown out.
Tony Abbott, the Leader of the Opposition, when he was health minister, said it would cost around $90 million a year; instead, it is now costing almost $1 billion each year, and it still leaves people on public dental waiting lists. The coalition scheme is clearly another example where Tony Abbott did not pay attention to the details—either that or he is not good with numbers.
On top of the cost blow-out, more than 1,000 complaints—which the member for Hughes tried to dismiss statistically—have been lodged about the Chronic Disease Dental Scheme. There has also been widespread, documented misuse of the scheme. This includes some practitioners ordering dentures that did not fit, unnecessary crowns or other work and charging the full $4,250 while doing little or even no work. I note that the Minister for Human Services and his department are currently talking to the Australian Dental Association and the AMA in an effort to deal with anomalies in relation to incorrect claims made in relation to the CDDS.
In contrast to the CDDS, the federal Labor package will address the needs of the Australian community in a fiscally responsible way. We know that people in low-income households are more likely to have poorer oral health than those in high-income households. This package is targeted at people who are least able to pay to see a dentist themselves. At the same time, we will ensure spending on the scheme is sustainable and responsible.
As the new scheme gets closer, more information will be made available to parents, but in essence they will be able to make their claims through Medicare just like they currently do for GP visits. If the dentist bulk-bills for the services, parents will not be required to make any payments. For dentists that do not bulk-bill, a trip to Medicare will see the cost for the service partly reimbursed, along the previously mentioned formula.
So, what about phasing out the current Chronic Disease Dental Scheme? The Chronic Disease Dental Scheme will no longer operate after 30 November. Patients who currently have a GP management plan and team care arrangements or a multidisciplinary care plan which was put in place prior to 8 September 2012 have until 30 November to complete their treatment. Thereafter, the patient will need to pay for the treatment.
The Gillard government, like Labor governments before us, are delivering on our priorities in areas like public health, paid parental leave, aged care and so forth. As I said before, the money that we have set aside in the budget will be available to the state and territory public dental systems from January 2013.
I note that members opposite—certainly the member for Hughes and member for Dickson—continue to support the CDDS instead of backing our fair and sensible reforms of dental policy, which include almost $2 billion for low-income adults and a blitz on public dental waiting lists.
The misused, abused and blown-out CDDS was supposed to cost, as I mentioned earlier, $90 million a year but ended up costing $80 million a month. Let me repeat: $80 million a month, for a scheme that was estimated to cost $90 million a year. I believe the opposition are too proud and too stubborn to admit this has been a policy blunder, so they just ignore the evidence.
Tony Abbott introduced the scheme in the final days of the Howard government and has supported it ever since—the member for Hughes reflects that. Unfortunately, it is poorly targeted, and more than 1,000 complaints were made about the scheme. Those included complaints about dentures that did not fit and so on.
Labor's new investment in dental care began with a $515.3 million budget allocation followed by a $4.1 billion commitment in August. We will deliver on our scheme. It is funded, and it will certainly be eagerly welcomed and appreciated in my electorate.

It's hard to believe 2012 is almost over. As someone who doesn't like change very much, I'm never ready to let go!
As always, the past year is kind of a blur. But here are the highlights that come to mind of 2012:
I skied a lot.
Nate and I moved in together.
I finally caved and got an iPhone (now that Google no longer gives me free phones).
I ran my first races since 2004: a 5k, 10k, and half marathon. And Nate won a marathon… no big deal…
…and I was the proudest I've ever been in my entire life.
(Photos stolen from my friend Tamiz!)
I ate vegan for 6 months.
My little sister got married!
I traveled to San Francisco twice, Vegas twice, Moab three times, Seattle, Chapel Hill, Maine, Boston twice, Oregon, and Jackson. It was quite the year of western travel! I definitely plan on continuing that in 2013. Destinations (hopefully) include: Paso Robles, Zion National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Winston-Salem, and Miami, plus Pennsylvania, Indiana and Maine for more weddings.
Also, I had some visitors this year: my parents, my grandma, my cousin Erin, my friend Dani, and my friends Bill and Grant. Keep the visits coming in 2013!!
But most relevant here, 2012 is the year I started blogging.
And I'm so happy about that! There have been many years in my life where I wasn't necessarily passionate about anything I was doing, and wasn't sure in which direction my life was going to go. And now, I guess I've discovered that what I'm passionate about is cooking new foods and sharing them with others! Of course, I still can't say that food blogging is going to determine the course of my life or anything like that, but it feels like a start. I have something I want to spend all my free time on… and for me, that's huge! So maybe 2012 is the year I started to figure stuff out.
Speaking of figuring stuff out… I've been doing a lot of learning in the kitchen. Veganism, cooking for 2 people, blogging, healthy eating… I feel like I've constantly been tackling something new. Along the way I've cooked some pretty good stuff, too! I've only had this blog for about 3 months, so I don't feel like I can pick 10 favorites, but here have been my top 5 favorite recipes of 2012 in chronological order:
This warm quinoa dish is made with apples, onions, cranberries, walnuts, and cinnamon. It is soooo good that you will eat it right out of the pan! (Not that I ever… routinely… do a think like that.) I like to make this in huge batches, and will probably make a more wintery version soon.
2. Farro Risotto with Butternut Squash and Kale
This risotto is one of those can't-believe-it's-vegan dishes. Using pearled farro makes it relatively quick-cooking, and it's so worth the little bit of stirring. This restored my faith in homemade risotto!
I absolutely love cooking Asian food, and this sushi bowl was probably my #1 favorite dish of the year because of all the different Japanese flavors happening here. I did a happy dance every time I took a bite of this meal! One to bring back in 2013.
4. Noodles in Spicy Lemongrass Broth
Again, the Asian thing. This broth was so spicy it made Nate cry. (OK maybe not really, but it was pretty spicy!) I love spicy broths, and this won't be the last one you'll see on here. This post was also the first time I got a picture accepted to TasteSpotting!
And last but not least, these little holiday toasts. I went on a serious colorful food kick in December, and these were my favorite. They will be in the regular Christmas rotation going froward!
So that's it – my 2012 in review. Thanks so much for reading and supporting me as I learn how to be part of this crazy blog world! I appreciate it so much.
Here's to 2013!

We're finally seeing signs for a potential market bounce setup to the upside. The last two weeks on the S&P weekly chart is showing that there is some strength leaking into the markets evident to the large upper shadows on the candles. And with us getting the first oversold extreme reversal signal since November '10, it appears as if the bulls may finally give it a go.
For those of you who are not familiar with this chart, here's quick tutorial...
Remember, the extremes are where you are wanting to pay the closest attention to, particularly where the %K & %D lines cross (i.e the red and green lines). This is typically where we begin to see changes in the behavior of the market - not always but quite often enough, to warrant our attention. What this tool is best for, in terms of what I use it for, is market timing and position building. When there is a crossover at one of the extremes that goes against the positions in my portfolio, I, often times, look to take profits in those positions or at least hedge against them

San Francisco artist closes exhibit with talk and reception
January 14, 2011
Artist and San Francisco Art Institute professor Allan deSouza will give a free talk about his exhibit, "Courses of Empire," on Tuesday, Jan. 18, at 5 p.m. at Loyola University New Orleans. The lecture will take place in the Danna Student Center's Audubon Room and a reception will follow at 7 p.m. in the Collins C. Diboll Art Gallery in Loyola's Monroe Library, where the exhibit is displayed.
The exhibit and lecture are presented as part of Loyola's Visiting Artist Series, supported by the Mark Grote Visiting Artist Fund and the Biever Guest Lecture Series.
The major part of the installation is formed by deSouza's entire collection of personal and family photographs arranged on the gallery floor in the form of a map of New Orleans. Upon entering the gallery, viewers walk over the photographs, damaging and erasing them in the manner of the Katrina floods, in order to view the photographs on the gallery walls.
"Courses of Empire" also includes photographs of cityscapes. According to deSouza, these cityscapes reference Thomas Cole's 1833-36 similarly-titled painting series and borrow their color palette and initial arrangements from Giorgio Morandi's mid-20th century Natura Morta paintings.
deSouza is studio faculty and chair of new genres at the San Francisco Art Institute. Born in Nairobi, Kenya and of South Asian descent, he studied in England at Goldsmith's College and Bath Academy of Art, and in the U.S. at the Whitney Independent Study Program in New York City and at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson couldn't guarantee Robin van Persie's fitness yesterday for their Champions League clash with Real Madrid.
The Dutch striker has been a goal machine for United this season, scoring 19 in the Premier League alone, but he hobbled out of the action at QPR after falling into a photographer's hole by the side of the pitch.
Ferguson was not able to give any guarantees the striker will be ready to face the Spanish team in the last 16 second leg at Old Trafford.
"I hope he'll be ready," Ferguson said.

Up until last year McDonald's would temporarily bring the McRib back in "selected markets" once in a while, and by "selected markets" I mean "not where you or I live because McDonald's hates us on a personal level". Then, last year, McDonald's announced their first nationwide return of the McRib in 16 years. It was back for only six weeks, and now they've tweeted they're bringing it back again:
The rumors are true, friends. The #McRib is back in restaurants nationwide today! However, it's only for a limited time, so don't miss out!
Last year when we wrote about this, I said, "My gall bladder's whinging just thinking about the punishment it's about to receive." Good news: I no longer have a gall bladder (Thanks, McRib!), so now I have to find something else to punish with McRibs (you're next, spleen). And if you're wondering what this has with geek news, the answer is why do you hate America? Okay, here's a geek-related bit of news: an electric version of the DeLorean in the picture to the right is going to be coming back to the market next year. So all kinds of retro stuff is coming back to disappoint us once we attain it; speaking of which, anybody want some naked pics of Kathleen Turner? Recent ones.
[Hat tip: Geekosystem. Picture via SuperPoop (which is also what we'll be having with these McRibs).]

American-made bikes propel one small business forward, providing an innovative and ultra-light option for riders
October 2012 - Where iconic sleds comb through a snow-covered Alaskan landscape pulled by packs of dogs, lone bicycle enthusiasts use stainless-steel bicycles to push through treacherous terrain on a solitary quest for a finish line crossed by a select few.
At 616 Bicycle Fabrication in Grand Rapids, Mich., a small but capable team brings an American-made innovation to a tried-and-true mode of transportation. Fat bikes allow riders to ride along terrain other than ready-made pavement, no matter what the season. Snowfall or sandy beaches are streamlined under the carefully designed frame which is equipped with thick tires.
Because the majority of bikes sold in America are made in China or Taiwan, 616 Fabrication relishes its American supply chain. "To bring jobs back to the U.S. is one of our goals, especially right here in Michigan," says John Muenzenmeyer, co-owner of 616 Bicycle Fabrication, a name inspired by Western Michigan's area code. He runs the shop, along with co-owners Aaron Joppe and Robert Gaddis.
After displaying its fat bikes at the Iceman Cometh Challenge in Traverse City, Mich., the company discovered a growing interest in this niche market. "We're getting known for our fat bikes. Our Snow Cat wheels are a pound lighter than competitors'," he adds. "A normal fat bike might weight 32 to 36 pounds total—ours are approximately 27 to 31 pounds—a four pound difference altogether."
Detailed differences
Using stainless steel provided by KVA Stainless in California, a company that works on metals for a number of industries including medical and aerospace, 616 Fabrication's fat bikes give riders a plush ride. "Stainless doesn't corrode easily and gives a smoother ride than stiffer aluminum bikes," Muenzenmeyer says. "An aluminum bike beats you up when you pound through the trails."
The company's CNC work is completed by Micro Manufacturing in nearby Dutton, Mich. "There are 20 or so different components that go into our designs," he explains. "Outsourcing locally to Micro allows us to make running changes and check the quality more often than if we outsourced overseas."
The tube kits 616 Fabrication uses have a lot of technology behind them. True Temper OX Platinum 4130 chrome moly tubing is pre-hardened and comes in double-and triple-butted tubes specifically designed for high-end bicycles, Muenzenmeyer says.
The tires fat bikes need are unique in that the rims and tires are wider than conventional bicycles. Compared to other fat bikes, with rims measuring 80 millimeters wide, 616 Fabrication's are 45 millimeters wide. "That's half as wide but still using the same 4 inch tire," he explains. "Using our Snow Cat wheels compared to the alternative brands drops the weight of wheel one pound each, making our Rims-Hub combination the lightest on the market."
The wheels' rims currently come from Alaska and originally were extruded in Indiana. Going forward, they will be extruded in Florida. The rim originally was designed for the Iditarod Trail Invitational in Alaska. The concept of the fat bike originated when competitors started coupling two bike wheels together to improve traction through the tough, snowy terrain. "That opened the door for people like me to start making these thicker tires for these types of bikes," Muenzenmeyer says. MM

In Reply to: My opinion posted by Pro-Accutane on November 27, 2000 at 16:59:04:
:I totally agree with you. I am pretty depressed right now, but there is no way I can blame it on accutane. I know it is because I am suffering with acne that is being stuburn clearing up. When and if the accutane kicks in and I start to see improvement, I know I will be less depressed. It is all relevent. If you have acne bad enough to go on accutane, then you will probably be depressed because of the acne. Its as simple as that. yes, I too feel sorry for the family, but I think their son had deeper problems then just a chemical imbalance from the accutane. Anyway, I agree. Sam
Look, I feel for the congressman, but there are SIDE effects with EVERY medication. Before you take ANY medication, it is essential that you read up on it thuroughly. If you don't do this, and take the medication anyway, then it is unrealistic to expect other people to pay for your mistake.
: I'm not refuting the possibility that Accutane led to this boy's suicide. But there are tons of studies on this - one need only sign on to the internet and type "Accutane" in any search engine to read about it. It seems to me that his boy's parents (nor the boy himself) took this simple action.
: However, it has also been proven that people with acne are more susceptible to depression, and as such, I am hesitant to believe that a medication that is a derivative of Vitamin A could lead to psychosis and suicide.
: So please, stop harrassing us. If the family did not do their part and research Accutane before the boy took it, then, well, I have little sympathy for their cause. I feel awful for the family, of course, but there is an important lesson to be learned, here. Don't put anything in your body until you know exactly what it is and exactly what it can do.

The TXTBKS campaign for Smart Communications, Inc. by local ad agency DM9 Jayme Syfu bagged the top award, Grand Prix of the Year, at the recently concluded Ad Stars international advertising festival held in Busan, Korea, more than 12,000 entries competed for the top honors.
TXTBKS served a dual purpose: to facilitate the recycling of old phones and to lighten the heavy load carried by schoolchildren. Over six months, Smart collaborated with textbook authors and publishers to condense certain school texts into 160-character text messages programmed into the inboxes of thousands of inactive surplus SIM cards and old mobile phones.
According to DM9/Di9it Executive Creative Director Eugene Demata, initial test studies showed that children who used the reprogrammed phones recorded an average of 90% in test performance, which is a positive indicator of the campaign's effectiveness.
DM9 Jayme Syfu also won a Grand Prix award for the Mobile category with the same campaign.

ZMR250 Build – Part 5 – EMAX 12A ESC Update
In this video I look at updating the EMAX 12A ESCs with a direct connection to BLHeli via an Arduino Uno (as opposed to going via the flight control board). Initial reading of the supported SiLabs ESCs documents indicated it wasn't going to be straightforward. After some Googling I found the video below which shows step by step instructions how to do this.
The alternative would be just to buy one of the EMAX $10 programming cards which I guess is simple enough but then I'll never be able to do BLHeli firmware updates plus I like being able to use the BLHeli to check and set the ESC parameters.
After going through the process of soldering on a wire to each of the four ESCs and updating to the latest BLHeli, I found these particular ESCs don't support damped (damping?) light / active braking which is a bit of a bummer so I ordered four Little Bee ESCs instead. It would be interesting to compare between the two types of ESCs when it comes to flying but I'm not sure I'm up for the hassle of swapping out the ESCs.
No trackbacks yet.

Does the ocean intrigue you? If it does, or if you simply enjoy viewing art, then an upcoming Somerville-based exhibit will prove of interest to you.
On December 1 and December 2 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., Jane Sherrill, Visual Artist, will display her paintings at Vernon Street Open Studios, which is her studio. It is located at 20 Vernon St., 6-West in Somerville.
During the past few summers, Sherrill traveled to Point Pleasant, NJ. That experience and location served as the foundation for five of her paintings. She spent many childhood summers at the Jersey Shore. In her opinion, the ocean there seems notably "rougher" than on Cape Cod and she "began to paint that wild ocean."
Sherrill's painting Early Morning, Point Pleasant will serve as a tribute to New Jersey, "which took a terrible hit during Hurricane Sandy." Point Pleasant sustained incredible damage during that devastating storm.
The majority of her pieces have "been abstract." However, she enjoys focusing on subject matter that includes the ocean.
"I've been doing this particular series of ocean paintings since 2009. The first paintings in this series were acrylic on 15″ X 15″ paper. Then I switched to working on wood panels, and grew my paintings to 3′ X 6′. Throughout much of my art career I've collaged torn paper into freeform shapes, then painted them using acrylic paints and other media. Many of these pieces were also 3-dimensional. My ocean paintings are my first work depicting landscapes on rectangular surfaces," said Sherrill.
Various subject matters of paintings into which Sherrill has delved include those of the American flag that she started immediately following September 11, 2001. She has also portrayed human bones, which were based on Biblical passages.
At present, she works on her ocean paintings, which have increased in size to 36″ X 72″ and focus on the clouds and the sky.
Her current exhibit was inspired by a trip to Cape Cod. "During the summer of 2009, I was invited to stay with a friend in Truro, on the Cape, and that's what inspired this series. I called the paintings I began then The Truro Paintings. Later, my cousin invited me to her house in Point Pleasant," said Sherrill.
The most expansive of her paintings is her most recent, which also depicts Truro. It measures 3′ X 6′. "I find the ocean to be surprisingly different in each place I visit, the color of the water, roughness [and] wave structure. These differences interest me," she said.
While in her early 30s Sherrill lived in Wellfleet, Cape Cod, and she journeyed through the woods. She trekked around ponds and through pine forests. Each time, she traveled back home by using a different route from the one by which she had come.
"My intention was to get lost in my surroundings, becoming one large mind, hearing/seeing. When I got lucky, I was rewarded with a wide perspective, sharply seeing each individual tree, simultaneously, [and] hearing each separate pine needle fall. I experienced all the details, there was no background, each detail was as important as any other. My intention in my ocean paintings, particularly in my latest 6' ones, is to recreate that state of consciousness," said Sherrill.
Sherrill noted that she utilizes miniature brushes, and she is infatuated by details of an object. For example, she attempts to paint distinctive drops of water to ensure that the entire painting "flows." That approach provides a space which "expresses a state of complete foreground in which every detail is equally important."
In the painting Early Morning, Pt. Pleasant, Sherrill ventured out when the day was just beginning to photograph the ocean, while standing on the beach. "In most of my earlier ocean paintings, my focus has been on waves and how they work. With this painting, my focus shifted to the sky. A morning fog was pulling back from the ocean, and the sky above was clear and blue. There was a remnant of wispy, grey, early morning fog burning off, and below that grey line, the colors were muted and yellowish, the air dense with moisture."
A second work, which will be on display at the upcoming exhibit is entitled WaveWall, Early Morning Pt. Pleasant. That piece includes a "wall of water" rushing toward the viewer. "The interesting aspect, here, for me to paint was the foam that rides up the wave and how light plays on water as the wave rises."
In her late 20s Sherrill began to draw and to display her work. She's been painting for about 40 years. "I'm not sure I made a conscious decision to become an artist at first, though at some point it became clear to me."
Her near future will include Long Island seascapes.
