Fresh Ways of Thinking About Jews and Gender Worldwide
The Hadassah-Brandeis Institute develops fresh ways of thinking about Jews and gender worldwide by producing and promoting scholarly research, artistic projects and public engagement.
The world's only academic center of its kind, the HBI provides research resources and programs for scholars, students and the public. The Institute publishes books and a journal, convenes international conferences and local programming, and offers competitive grant and internship programs.
We invite you to explore our website and experience the impact of the HBI.
What our former scholars say about their HBI experience:
Ornat Turin, HBI Scholar-in-Residence, Spring, 2014
"At HBI, I experienced an organization that involves art, activism and academic research, to create a new organizational culture. I would like to incorporate some of it at home. It was an opportunity to acquire my own identity in the inter-cultural encounters with the Jewish community of Brandeis. I worked on research within a team in way that enhanced the intellectual discourse as I collaborated with fascinating women from all around."
Irina Rebrova, HBI-BGI Scholar-in-Residence, Spring, 2014
"I was the first scholar-in-residence at the HBI and BGI (Brandeis-Genesis Institute for Russian Jewry). I'm thankful for this unique opportunity for researchers from the former Soviet Union to continue their studies in the U.S.A. The libraries at Brandeis University and HBI have an excellent collection of books on Judaism, gender and Soviet Jewish history. The consultations with American colleagues in my research field as well as the research visit to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. helped me to prove my statements. I'm happy to become an HBI Research Associate and to be a part of HBI's creative staff. "
Brygida Gasztold, Fulbright Scholar, 2013-2014 academic year
"I loved being here, taking part in scholarly debate, conferences, colloquia and being part of the scholarly life at Brandeis. I went to many events, not only related to my field, but also went to films, art exhibitions, gender and culture events, legal forums and different synagogues. It is interesting and important that foreign scholars are able to exchange information and ask questions, get the view and context of things I wouldn't get in Poland from the expertise of people who work here."

TUESDAY, Feb. 18, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Obese children who break their arm just above the elbow are more likely to suffer complex fractures and have complications after surgery than normal-weight children, according to a new study.
Researchers looked at about 350 children, aged 2 to 11, who underwent surgery after this type of fracture. Forty-one of the children were underweight, 182 were normal weight, 63 were overweight and 68 were obese.
Of 149 children who had "type-2" fractures -- involving a break through the bone at the growth plate and crack in the bone shaft -- 11 were obese.
Of the 205 children with complex, "type-3" fractures -- involving complete displacement, multiple fracture lines and breaks through the skin -- 57 were obese, according to the study in the February issue of the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery.
The researchers concluded that obesity is associated with a higher risk of complex fractures and more complications.
"These findings show that children diagnosed with obesity are more likely to sustain these complex fractures from something as simple as falling onto an outstretched hand while standing, and these types of falls are quite common," study author Dr. Michelle Caird, an assistant professor in the department of orthopedic surgery at the University of Michigan, said in a journal news release.
"Our research aims to remind parents that there are many serious risks to childhood obesity, including fractures and surgical complications. It's important to ensure that children get the proper amount of exercise and to build their bone banks early in life to a strong and healthy frame," she added.
Previous research has shown that overweight youngsters who break a thigh bone tend to require more extensive surgery and to have more complications than normal-weight children.
Although the new study found an association between obesity in children and more serious elbow fractures, it did not establish a cause-and-effect relationship.
"Future research needs to focus on modifying obesity in kids to test if that changes fracture complexity and complication profiles," Caird said. "We also should focus on research to improve childhood bone health overall whether this is more calcium, vitamin D, exercise or a combination of such measures to help further build and maintain a skeleton that can structurally and metabolically support the person through their lifetime."

This dish was delicious! I did make one small adjustment - used 2 rather than 3 tbs. of mustard and found that to be perfect for our tastes. I also had to add about 10 minutes to the oven time for the pork to get the temperature up to 155. - Worthy of serving to guests.
Rosemary Pork Tenderloin with Harvest Apples
elsinore51 Posted: 10/02/10
Putzley Posted: 11/09/08
Excellent...My entire family loved it. I cooked the tenderloins longer because I used three. I also coated them all with minced garlic before searing them on the stove top. Definitely a keeper.
teacooking Posted: 11/21/10
this was outstanding..can't wait to make it again. It's so simple. the recipe makes alot of sauce - enough for two tenderloins in my opinion. followed the recipe with the exception of granny smith apples. The tenderloin stayed tender and moist. Definitely one to make over and over.
akjones Posted: 10/04/10
Wow!! One of the best things I've ever eaten. I followed the recipe and it came out perfect. I did have to cook it a little longer but that was all. I served it with the herb couscous from Oct. '10. This is worthy of company or celebration. I thought is was very easy to make, not a lot of chopping. Make sure and use fresh rosemary.
ahpampa Posted: 02/13/10
Delicious! Definitely a keeper. I cooked it for dinner, we had it the next night and then I took the remaining leftover to a pot luck. Everyone loved it. I didn't have Dijon mustard so used a mix of yellow and honey mustard.
Charmin Posted: 10/11/10
Great dish...cut the dijon mustard in half and cooked the pork an extra 10 minutes (my loin was thick). Will make again, however, will only cook the apples for 15 minutes before adding the pork.
Zelda21 Posted: 02/27/10
My whole family thought this dish was very bland and that the sauce did not go that well with the apples. I made it exactly as directed. It does have some potential if more flavor was put into the sauce and some type of flavoring added to help the apples, but the dish itself takes too long to invest time experimenting, so I will not make it again.
law078 Posted: 11/02/09
This was delicious. I didn't have the white wine, so used the apple juice. This is a keeper!
Rochesteragent Posted: 10/06/10
I tried this without the rosemary (my daughter hates rosemary), and the dish still was superb and easy! I would serve this to company--the flavors were perfect for Fall. Like many others, my pork tenderloin did need an additional 10 minutes in the oven.
headbunt Posted: 05/03/10
I'd put money that the person that wrote this recipe is bland probably made the dish in a nonstick skillet. You can't build a pan sauce in a nonstick skillet - you should use either cast-iron or a stainless steel pan. Apples, wine, rosemary and mustard are far from bland. And they all go well with pork.
currrlygurrrly Posted: 09/29/10
Absolutely delicious! I will make it again! Super easy, tender and flavorful!
KimHennig Posted: 10/07/10
I made this for my supper club and everyone loved it! It was the perfect fall dish. It was fairly quick and easy and the flavors really worked well together. This is a new favorite! Only change I made was to use a combination of vermouth and apple cider in place of the wine/apple juice. I used Honeycrisp apples which worked well.
Katdean Posted: 01/20/13
I give this a 3 because while it turned out well, I was not a fan of the sauce. If you like rich cream sauces then go for it. Otherwise, there are better pork and apple recipes.
LisaGvlSC Posted: 11/27/12
Would be nice for a special occasion. Be careful that the pork is cooked to the correct temp, mine was not after 25 mins at 350.

In 1996, Marcus Sakey landed his first job out of college in Atlanta at Turner Broadcasting behind the scenes in animation. At the time, he never imagined himself in front of the camera.
Fifteen years later, Sakey's hosting his own TV show on the Travel Channel called "Hidden City," where he travels to one particular city each episode to dig into iconic historical crimes. On Tuesday, he ventures back to Atlanta, a city where he resided from 1996 to 2003 and met his wife G.g.
"The idea is to explore cities through their stories," Sakey said in a recent phone interview. "I go into each city from the viewpoint of a novelist. The idea is to understand the people as characters, to know what they were going through from my perspective."
A fictional crime author, Sakey said "Hidden City" takes a slice of foodie traveler Anthony Bourdain's whimsy, a taste of light-hearted ABC drama "Castle" (which stars a crime novelist) and a dash of MTV's "Jackass," because he'll partake in activities that are reminiscent of the referenced crimes.
Over 12 episodes, he gets pepper sprayed like a protestor, attacked by a dog and tackled by cops after trying to "steal" a car. "It's not just gimmicks," he said. "I want to understand why people act the way they do and get the adrenaline rush of being on the run."
In Atlanta, Sakey pursued three stories, taped in June of this year: a chase between two locomotives during the Civil War, the Buckhead day trader murders of 1999 and a notorious Gwinnett County drug case from 2008.
The thematic tie of these three stories, he said, is the city's relentless focus on commerce and transportation, with an eye towards the future.
Sakey even visits a dank maintenance tunnel in downtown Atlanta where a sign marks the spot where the city officially staked itself as a railroad hub in 1837. It's also a popular hangout for homeless people. "History," Sakey said on the show, "smells a lot like urine."
Ratings for "Hidden City," which debuted Dec. 6, have been modest. After three episodes, it's averaging 346,000 viewers, down 25 percent compared to what was airing in the time period a year ago ("Ghost Adventures"), according to Nielsen ratings data. Sakey is not deterred, noting that viewer reaction has been positive so far.
"We're very pleased with how 'Hidden City' is performing," a Travel Channel spokesman wrote in an email Wednesday, noting that the program has been seen by 4.5 million viewers cumulatively, counting repeats.
Here's a quick overview of the three crimes Sakey spotlights in Tuesday's episode:
- In 1862, Union scout James Andrews and several volunteers commandeered Confederate locomotive the General in Kennesaw and tried to destroy the rail line leading up to Chattanooga in hopes of cutting off supply lines.
William Fuller on the Confederate side, using a locomotive called the Texas, eventually caught up with the General and captured Andrews, who was hanged. "The daring rogue versus the tireless voice of law," Sakey called it on the show. (The Texas is now at the Cyclorama.)
"This is such novelistic territory," Sakey said. "Two men squaring off. Behind enemy lines, one man steals a train right under their nose. If Andrews had pulled this off, it might have shortened the war."
- On July 29, 1999,while Sakey was working at a web design company at the King Plow Arts Center during the height of the dot.com boom era, Mark Barton was trying to make a living day trading.
But with financial losses piling up, Barton snapped and turned to violence, first killing his family, then nine employees at two different Buckhead day-trading firms, then himself. Buckhead, Sakey noted on the show, was known more for "shopping sprees than shooting sprees. It's Elton John's neighborhood, for Christ's sake!"
During "Hidden City," Sakey recounted that awful day with then-Mayor Bill Campbell, who was the public face of horrified Atlanta residents — many huddled around office TV sets as the scope of the tragedy around them unfolded in live news reports. Campbell, later disgraced after being convicted of tax evasion, rarely does interviews but accepted this one, Sakey said, because of its narrow scope.
Sakey met Campbell at the Silver Skillet diner in Midtown because that's where many a dot.com deal was settled back in the 1990s. Plus, "when I worked at Turner, I spent many a lunch at Silver Skillet. I think the hash browns are still in my belly!"
The firm Sakey worked at in 1999, he said, eventually "imploded spectacularly – but without gunfire."
- With its miles of highways and a giant international airport, Atlanta's image as a transportation hub was key to attracting business. In 2008, those same assets also attracted big-time drug dealers moving their contraband throughout the East.
In 2008, a mid-level cocaine dealer Oscar Reynoso was kidnapped and held for ransom by a Mexican cartel for owing $300,000. He was hidden away in a Lilburn basement, gagged and beaten.
U.S. federal agents found him alive.
"Who would have known Atlanta is a hub for Mexican drug cartels?" Sakey said.
He interviewed undercover officers involved in the raid at Manuel's Tavern, an Atlanta hangout for politicians and journalists. "I like a place where you have no idea if it's dark or sunny outside," he said.

It's a nit-pick, but I was irritated when he talked about "giving the gas" to the trains. It should have been "pouring on the coal". His editors and producers should have caught that – he said it twice.
Overall, not impressed – more glossy than substantive.

This was bad — he interviewed a convicted felon (former mayor) about the Barton case, and Dr. Davis, who swore that his son, Scott Alan Davis, was not guilty of killing David Coffin. They also showed clips of midtown as being Buckhead, etc…. overall, a C+ for this episode in my opinion.

Before And After: From Nightstand To Workbench
DIY kitchens made from nightstands, entertainment centers, and all kinds of IKEA pieces are popular here at Ohdeedoh. But something like a workbench is a rare occurrence. We spotted the IKEA Duktig workbench months ago and hoped to see some DIY versions out there. Then we spotted this fun nightstand conversion over at The Frugal Granny.
Pretty awesome, wouldn't you agree? The best part is the measuring stick drawer pull. For more details on this project, visit The Frugal Granny.

yes!!!!!! finally something for the non mini kitchen loving boy/girl (but in our case, boy.)
So cute!
Love, love, love it. My dream is to have a kitchen on one side, workbench on the other.
Yay! This is just what I needed. I just posted yesterday on all my favorite wooden work benches. You can check it out here:
I really love a few of them but like happybirthday, I'm also dreaming of making my own workbench/kitchen hybrid. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
The link to the blog doesn't work and send to the post about the Ikea workbench.
Nice job, it !
meant to type "I love it". Sorry
love this! i was expecting a kitchen. i had not thought about a tool/work bench!
i am also wanting some sort of storage for dress up clothes. 3 yr old is really into it 1 yr is a bit young still but will soon be into it!
I am filing this away to make in a year or two for my little boy.
My daughter would love this. She's always really interested in any work I do around the house. My wife bought a play kitchen a while ago and she's just now getting into it. I'll set her on the counter while I make dinner and I'm hoping to make some dishes she can get involved in soon. We're trying hard to teacher her that boys and girls can do anything they want regardless of gender. Now If I can convince my wife to mow the lawn... nah.
I totally want to make an adult-size version of this for me. :)
Thank you for finally posting something other than a kitchen! My daughter loves her tool bench and I wanted to make her one for outside as well.

has any one done the upgrade exam if so how did they find it?

has any one done the upgrade exam if so how did they find it?
If you have all the knowledge fresh from 2003, upgrading to 2008(r2) is not too bad actually. A lot of it is still relevant but there is a large chunk added on due to the new features. Worth doing if you have the time and money IMO.
Yes, and tricky. There is a lot of content, might be worth doing the 2 exams rather than the upgrade.
I only tried the upgrade exam for the MCSA once (the free beta - 71-648) and failed that. I passed the MCSE upgrade exam on my 3rd attempt, however one of the attempts was the free beta (and like any other beta exam, it's released before any study materials are out even on technet it was a bit slim back then).
The upgrade exam itself is split into different parts (depending on how many exams the upgrade exam replaces will dictate how many part the exam will be in) and the overall score will be the lowest score of the different parts. For example on the 649 I took, I got on one part: 737 (pass), part 2: 760 (pass), part 3: 350 (fail) so my overal score for the exam was 350.
ouch that is a bit unfair but i can understand why you failed the whole exam. well i am hopefully going to buy exam tomorrow and book it soon my only worrie is that from what i have heard they have changed some of the understanding of AD groups and terminology
Ok well I took my exam and failed I got 754 on the network infrastructure and 478 on active directory. And what a pain in the back side at one point I thought I was going to faint because some of the questions I just had no idea. and in some ways am glad I failed because only went on my own info and did a brief skim of the upgrade book. I did find it strange when they split the exam e.g time remaining felt I had less time even though it said 3 hours
Sort of feel I should of have taken the infrastructure exam on its own

The body is a high quality, one-piece GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) molding, hand laminated, with extra reinforcing at the wheel arches. We use chopped strand mat of internationally recognized standard, being 450 grams per square meter (15 ounces per square yard), with Isophtalic resin.The doors, hood and trunk lid are single skinned for a smooth light weight finish.The floor, transmission tunnel, fire wall, front inner wheel wells and trunk compartment are laminated into the main body mold in a jig to assist with the overall strength. The engine bay and front inner fenders are finished in black gel coat for a smooth appearance, durability and ease of cleaning and maintenance.
After the body has cured in the mold at an ambient temperature, it is removed and inspected before being fitted to the chassis. The car is then moved to our engineering facility to have the roll cage fitted before the car is painted. After the roll cage has been completed the body is then transferred to our state of the art paint facility, where it is filled down and prepared for a coat of white paint. Custom ordered cars will receive the customers color of choice at this time.

They brought with them the 82-foot Red Star™ Rescue Rig, which is equipped with a mobile operating theater, rescue equipment, and sleeping quarters for 12 emergency responders sponsored by Mars Petcare US, and Red Star's 50-foot "Lois Pope LIFE Rescue Vehicle." In heartwarming scenes, pets are already being reunited with their loving families at the temporary shelter, but many more may come in as the result of upcoming search and rescue operations. Code 3, another rescue group, is assisting with the sheltering work.
WHO: American Humane Association's Red Star Animal Emergency Services, which began in 1916 when the charity was asked to rescue wounded horses on the battlefields of World War I Europe and has been involved in virtually every major disaster since, including the Great Ohio Flood of 1937, Pearl Harbor, Hurricane Katrina, 9/11, and Superstorm Sandy.
WHERE: Cleveland County Fairgrounds INTERVIEWS AVAILABLE

Many people and organizations across the country helped make Red Star's deployment to help the animals of Moore possible. With the help of country singer Miranda Lambert's MuttNation Foundation, Red Star was initially invited by the State of Oklahoma to deploy as an approved responder to assist Moore's animal victims in need as a result of this devastating disaster. Mars Petcare US, makers of PEDIGREE® Food for Dogs and WHISKAS® Food for Cats, is sponsoring the deployment of the giant Rescue Rig and donating emergency food supplies. Banfield Pet Hospital, a business of Mars, Incorporated, is offering veterinary care, along with Zoetis, which is offering vitally needed medicines. Philanthropist Lois Pope and American Humane Association supporters across the country who sent in donations for the relief effort are also supporting this effort. Logistics are being provided by Rescue Bank®, Mars Petcare's partner for donation shipment. Rescue Bank manages a nationwide network of non-profit distribution centers delivering donated pet food to rescues, shelters and social service agencies. And thanks to PetSmart Charities and Code 3 for supplying and delivering much-needed extra crates.
Local shelters have enough supplies. To find a lost pet from Moore go to http://www.okclostpets.com/ .

Its Vilma
By Sean M. Deegan
Publisher, Jets Insider.com
April 24th, 2004
There were no moves for the Jets and the 12th pick. The Jets stayed put and made University of Miami LB Jonathan Vilma their 2004 top draft choice. Vilma was the top rated LB on most draft boards and with the addition the team adds more depth to a totally re-vamped linebacking unit. With no pick in round 2 due to the Justin McCareins trade, the team waited till the third round to draft Oklahoma CB Derrick Strait.
The move to select Vilma with the 12th pick was a bit of surprise. Although he was a top rated LB, many thought Vilma would still be available several picks later and that the Jets may trade down. The teams top choice was speculated to be a CB, but with the two top prospects already gone, (Virginia Techs DeAngelo by Atlanta and South Carolinas Dunta Robinson by Houston) and no viable trade options the Jets went after the next player that they coveted.
Vilma was thrilled to be the top pick of the Jets. Heres a true story you can tell anybody who wants to know, I told Santana (Moss) I wanted to come there since January. And I told him to give Coach Edwards the message, he relayed the message and they wanted me too. It was a perfect fit. Said the new Jets LB. Vilma went on: I like everything about the Jets: the staff, the guys want to win, the players, they want to win. It looks like they have a good core, a lot of good young guys in there who are real good players especially playing with Santana Moss and Matt Walters and I know that I really respect those guys and how they play. And I just want to play with a group of guys who want to win.
Moss was equally excited about reuniting wit his former Miami teammate. I think it was a great pick. Its kind of crazy because I remember being in Miami and I remember talking to D.J. Williams and hes like, man he loved our coaching staff and everything, he met with everybody and he loved them. Then I saw Vilma a couple of days after and he was like Man, I want to be a Jet. For me to hear someone talk like that, that was really big. I think he was really impressed by the way they treated him and everything during his visit at the combine and everything. He told me there that he wanted to be a Jet. Just to have him man, knowing hes a Hurricane and knowing what hes going to bring to the table, Im loving it man.
With the continued need to add depth at the CB position, the Jets drafted Oklahoma CB Derrick Strait in the third round. Strait (5-11, 189) was rated as one of the top five CBs in the draft and seems to be a steal at the 76th pick. Some draft boards had him as high as a low first or high second round pick. Straits scouting reports describes him as Very quick to read and diagnose plays, showing the ability to recognize the routes develop instantly...Has good pass coverage skills with the ability to jump on the receiver's hip and run with the opponent stride-for-stride on deep routes.
All in all, seemingly a very good day for Bradway and the Jets. The team will be very busy tomorrow, with eight more picks including two fourth rounders and four seventh rounders. Check back often to Jets Insider.com for all the latest NY Jets draft news.

With today's advancements, no longer do you or your children have to suffer the embarrassment of unsightly and unhealthy silver/mercury filling or metal margins of the past. Eliminate the dark, black appearance in your teeth with new age, state of the art, tooth colored resin.
|Back To Top
Bonding is a common solution for:
Often used to improve the appearance of your teeth and enhance your smile. As the name indicates, composite material, either a plastic or resin, is bonded to an existing tooth.
Composite bonding has many advantages:
Composite bonds stain more easily and therefore require proper care and regular cleaning. In order to ensure the longest possible duration of the bonding, composites should be brushed and flossed daily.
|Back To Top
If a cavity is not caught early, the decay can destroy so much of the tooth structure that there is not enough left to support a filling. A stainless steel crown will save the tooth and prevent the risk of pain and infection. This crown is a pre-made cap that has been trimmed and fitted to your child's tooth. These crowns cover the entire portion of the tooth at the gum lines. Stainless steel is a long lasting material in the mouth, and it will serve quite well for the life of the baby (deciduous) teeth. This will keep the tooth and root intact until normal tooth loss occurs.
Stainless steel crowns are used in several circumstances:
We usually can place the stainless steel crown in one appointment. We will shape your child's tooth to the necessary form and then trim a stainless steel crown to fit tightly on the tooth. This crown will then be cemented into place. The crowned tooth will usually fall out normally when the permanent tooth is ready to come in.
Instructions for home care:
Notify us if any of the following occur:
|Back To Top
A deep cavity in your child's baby tooth may go into the nerve (pulp) of the tooth. In such cases, a pulpotomy is recommended to save the tooth.
A pulpotomy of a baby tooth is similar to, but not as complex as root canal treatment of an adult tooth. Both procedures prevent unnecessary loss of teeth. Your child's baby teeth are important in guiding the permanent teeth into position and should therefore remain in your child's mouth until they are lost naturally.
A pulpotomy removes part of the nerve (pulp) of a tooth to prevent or treat the formation of an abscess. A medicated filling material is placed in the nerve space and a cap or a filling is then used to restore your child's tooth.
We insist on proper brushing, flossing and avoidance of sweet snacks. Your child should then never again have cavities large enough to require another pulpotomy. To insure this, please be sure you schedule regular checkups every six months.
Medicines must be fitted to your child's own particular needs. Do not take or give any medication (not even those you buy without prescription) without telling our doctors. If drugs are prescribed, carefully follow the instructions on the label.
|Space Maintainers
|Back To Top
If a baby tooth is lost early in life, we may recommend treatment with a space maintainer. This is an appliance that is designed to hold the space of the extracted primary tooth until the permanent tooth erupts into its proper place.
If the primary tooth is lost due to an accident or decay, the surrounding teeth should be held in place to prevent closing of this space. The space maintainer should be used as soon as possible after the loss of the new tooth. Teeth may shift position in a few weeks after the loss of the neighboring tooth. This space maintainer is fixed or cemented into your child's mouth.
Home care:
There are various types of space maintainers, and in some cases more than one technique may be tried. With the proper treatment and home care, together we can maintain your child's dental health.
|Teeth Whitening
|Back To Top
Restoring your natural white smile is a priority for our team. We can provide a variety of options for whitening your smile.
Tooth whitening services are growing in popularity. Everyone sees the growing consumer market focused on whiter teeth. The reality is that over the consumer "too good to be true" solutions typically don't work.
Our doctors are all trained professionals using industry approved methods. Our goal is to meet the needs of every patient, and every patient's needs are different.
Nothing improves your appearance more than a bright, white smile!
|Sedation Dentistry
|Back To Top
If your child has a dental phobia, low pain tolerance, major dental treatment, physical handicaps or strong gag reflexes, you may require sedation. Procedures like fillings, crowns, bridges, pulpotomies, extractions, cosmetic procedures and periodontal treatments often require sedation.
Sedation is endorsed by the American Dental Association and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and is an effective way to make your child comfortable during the dental visit. Before using a sedative or anesthetic, it is important to tell our doctors about any medications or medical treatments your child is receiving. Before administering any sedative or anesthetic, we explain the process of sedation as well as pre and post sedation instructions.
|Back To Top
Braces have one aim: to use gentle pressure to move your teeth into proper alignment. Treatment time varies depending on age, patient compliance, and the severity of the condition. Generally, treatment lasts for 24 months, and is facilitated by ideal patient cooperation.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age 7. At this early age, orthodontic treatment may not be necessary, but vigilant examination can anticipate the most advantageous time to begin treatment.
By the age of 7, the first adult molars erupt, establishing the back bite. During this time, an orthodontist can evaluate your child's front-to-back and side-to-side tooth relationships. For example, the presence of erupting incisors can indicate possible overbite, open bite, crowding, or gummy smiles. Timely screening increases the chances for an incredible smile for your child.

Wordaholics - Dry Guy
Dry Guy: A male who does not require lubrication to climax during the act of self-gratification. In fact, they often prefer their stimulation that way.
It is not known which came first; Dry Guy, Lube Dude, Mixture of Both Man, Absence of Either Bro; but it is confirmed that a Dry Guy can be any of the other three at any time, and the classifications are not exclusive.
A true Dry Guy is one who takes matters into his own hands; like a fireman, he is ready to go at the drop of a hat, whenever the situation calls for it. Critics will say he should be set in his ways, and prefer the dry method, and not simply be "making lemonade"— but, for scientific purposes, this criticism is not valid.
Should liquid of any kind accidentally be spilled on the field of self-play during the act, but before completion, the gentleman at hand would still be considered a Dry Guy. The conditions set at the initiation of the act are the most relevant to classification.
Likewise, the climax is not necessary to garner said classification; to simply intend to finish is all that is required.
In a Sentence: "Wow, that new lady in accounting sure is on my mind; but it appears I'm out of lotion, guess I'm gonna have to be a Dry Guy tonight."

BARchive: Tri-ing Times
by Jim Provenzano
Years before the first Gay Games (1982), San Francisco's gay community already had a lot going on in organized sports. Several gay softball teams had been organized before the historic Gays vs. Cops games in 1973 and 1974. Bowling had a few informal leagues, as noted in the historic lesbian periodical The Ladder, as far back as the mid-1950s. Competitive billiards and pool also took place in gay bars, and the growing softball league enjoyed great support from sponsoring bars.
In a way, San Francisco's gay sports movement owes its birth to gay bars, of which there were more than 100 in 1973. And one event, while not exactly an official sport, took a fun competition to the streets, with contestants enjoying drinks while competing, of a sort.
The first annual Memorial Day Charity Costume Tricycle Race, held May 29, 1972, was sponsored by the historic bar The Mint. Established in 1942, The Mint, at its same location as today, 1942 Market Street, was one of several points along a wacky drag-filled tricycle race composed of various teams organized by bars of the day; Kelly's Saloon, Fickle Fox, The Bachelors Club, The Pendulum, Twilight and The Naked Grape.
Contestants wobbled up and down the Upper Market and burgeoning Castro bar district, becoming wobblier with each courtesy drink at the various pit stops. Prizes ranged from dinners and coupons to $50 cash.
That same year, a similar event, the Roller Derby and Skate-Along, was sponsored by Jackson's Bar (2237 Powell St.) and celebrated its fourth annual event. Started in 1968, the wacky race preceded the Tricycle Race with similar themes of wild costumes, cocktail pit stops and prizes. Donations to compete were a mere $2.00, and proceeds went to the Health Center "for sharper needles."
But the Great Tricycle Race eclipsed its predecessor even by its second run. More than a thousand spectators and participants photographed at City Hall Park in May 1972 made the front page of the Bay Area Reporter. That year, the event raised funds for Guide Dogs for the Blind.
As the BAR story regales, a few local policemen were "bewildered" by the event, in a day when event permits were less than obligatory. By the time reinforcement cops arrived, the race had spiraled off to sidewalks up and down Polk and Market streets, leaving City Hall Park abandoned.
Costumed participants were gaudily dragged up, and scantily undressed. 1973's First Place Costume winners, "Diki and Sonny," showed off svelte pulchritude in leopard print loincloths and feather-trimmed sneakers.
The first prize for Best Bike was won by a goggle-sporting male duo and their Red Baron plane/tricycle. The first prize for taking the lead were a groovy pair of guys from The Gangway (a gay bar that remains to this day at 841 Larkin St.).
Enthusiastic crowds cheered on a sometimes gasping bevy of contestants, "some of whom were riding, some crawling and some who came in on two pedals and a lot of guts, the rest of the bike demolished somewhere along the way."
"Conviviality reigned throughout," wrote the un-bylined reporter, who did note in an amusingly catty remark that "Someone should tell Bette Bonko she is just too heavy for a mini-trike."
As the event grew in popularity, celebrities even joined in. In 1975, Chip Carter, son of then-presidential candidate Jimmy Carter, competed in the fifth annual race as part of his father's California campaign.
The tricycle races were held annually for 21 years, the last one in 1993. In 2000, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence revived the event, timed with their annual Easter festivities, and since 2006 their Tour de Castro, a variation on the original race, has somewhat-annually raised funds for the AIDS Life/Cycle. In May 2010, a version of the race was included as part of Harvey Milk Day festivities.

It's not too late to salvage your retirement
For late starters, it's important to take aggressive steps now, including cutting your expenses.
Joanna VonCulin is 46 and just now starting to save "a measly amount" -- $50 a month -- for retirement. The executive director of a nonprofit in Montpelier, Vt., said she wouldn't even be saving that, but an investment adviser for her agency's retirement plan finally convinced her that "something was better than nothing."
Plenty of expenses and job interruptions got in the way of saving for retirement earlier, VonCulin said. Her son was born nearly four months premature, requiring her to quit working for a time to care for him. Her partner lost a job in information technology and has been struggling ever since to find work that would pay as well. Moving to a good school district for their kids, now ages 9 and 12, meant a sizable mortgage payment.
So VonCulin knows she's behind. She's just not sure by how much, and she's afraid to find out.
She's not the only one. Most people in their 40s and 50s haven't saved enough for a truly comfortable retirement. About 44% of baby boomers and Generation Xers won't even be able to cover basic expenses and are expected to run out of money before they run out of life, according to Jack VanDerhei, research director at the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
For late starters like VonCulin, there's no easy way to make up for lost time. The amounts they would have to save to replace most of their current income in retirement are simply too great.
Those in their 40s would have to save 20% to 25% of their incomes to match what they could have accumulated had they put aside just 10% starting in their 20s, said Delia Fernandez, a fee-only financial planner in Los Alamitos, Calif. If they wait until their 50s to start, they would have to contribute 40% or more of their incomes.
That's daunting. But refusing to save at all because you can't save "enough" is, in a word, stupid.
Liz Weston
Anything you save will help supplement Social Security, which is likely to be your biggest source of income. If you get serious, you can actually create a decent retirement even with a late start.
But you have to get determined about:
- Spending a lot less
- Saving a lot more
- Working longer
You can't control what happens in the investment markets, the economy or your company's executive boardroom when they're deciding about layoffs. Most people can, however, seize control of what and how they spend, said Jeff Yeager, author of "How to Retire the Cheapskate Way." Spending less allows you to save more now and to consider retiring with a smaller nest egg, since your expenses are lower.
(Article continues beneath video.)
Leigh Devereaux of San Dimas, Calif., had a wake-up call when she was laid off in the wake of the recession. She landed another marketing job within a month and began saving 60% of her net income. She realized she couldn't count on the government or corporations to take care of her, she wrote on my Facebook fan page. "I have only me to count on," Devereaux wrote. "People better get real serious because it's not going to go back to what it was."
Here's what to review:
Consider your house. Housing costs are likely your biggest expense and the biggest piece of the retirement puzzle, Fernandez said. If can pay off your mortgage by the time you retire, you may be able to stay where you are. If you'll still owe on a mortgage or are renting in an expensive area, you'll need to consider alternatives such as downsizing. "The question is, have they chosen a lifestyle they can sustain in retirement?" Fernandez said. "If not, they're have to scale back."
Take a hard look at your other spending. Some expenses, such as commuting costs and payroll taxes, end when you stop work. If you have kids, costs related to child-rearing will likely be finished by retirement. But most people need to look for areas to trim now if they expect to retire comfortably with a late start. "If you focus on the spending side, really drilling down, you can usually find money you didn't think you had to set aside," said Yeager. "Even more important, you're conditioning yourself to live on a budget." You'll find plenty of suggestions on ways to cut spending in the Smart Spending blog and in articles like "5 easy ways to cut monthly expenses," "How to cut your food budget in half" and "6 habits that will make you broke."
Run some numbers. Most people fear they won't have enough for retirement, yet have never tried to calculate how much they might need, according to EBRI research. MSN Money's retirement calculator allows you to test various contribution amounts, investment returns and spending levels. "Maybe the news is not as discouraging as you think," Yeager said. In any case, "once you see (the results), you can come to terms with what it means for your future."
More from Liz Weston:
"Her partner lost a job in information technology and has been struggling ever since to find work that would pay as well."
That's one of many problems with people since the economy tanked. I know a few people who lost very good jobs/careers when it did, and they are out looking for jobs that pay at least the same or more than their previous occupation, while in the meantime they were bringing in nothing aside from petty unemployment checks (while they lasted). I have been there myself and I know that I would take whatever job I could get. Desperate times demand desperate measures!
Other than Bill Fleckenstein, none of the writers on MSN are independently wealthy - otherwise they wouldn't be espousing such "nonsense" and obvious advice such as "make more money" and "work until you are 95 years old"!
SRTdriver;Too bad you didn`t have any upbringing.I can disagree with being foul mouth.I
grew up in a cold climate but I was smart enough and rich enough to get away from snow.
It`s racist rants from your type that will make it easy for Dems to win elections.Keep up the
racist low class rants.
1. The Peace Corps. Let your retirement income grow for two years or more after retirement while you serve in the Peace Corps. That will be two years or more where your nest egg grows because you won't be touching it, plus you can invest your pensions during that two years, rather than living off of it. Plus, you will be on a two year paid vacation.
2. Look into veterans benefits if eligible -- especially medical care. If you are a veteran, it just might be a better option to forego Medicare Part B in favor of obtaining free medical care through the VA. It's not for everybody, but my local VA hospital is great. I save that $104.90 in Medicare premiums each month and get my medical, to include hearing aids, eyeglasses and dental, all free.
SRTdriver;Admit it, you`re just a bitter Republican too poor to get out of ratholes like NY.
McCain lost in 2008, but America won with the market up 90% with Obama.Your excuses
and bitterness are sad.I left the GOP because of losers like you.Republican meetings were
like KKK rallies.Sorry you missed the bull market.I didn`t.Don`t you get tired of being on the
losing team?
Most folks working today has had the benefit of the government commandeering 15% of their W2 earnings and investing it for them on their behalf. Unlike earlier generations that only had 6% or even 2% of same taxed away as payroll tax.
Can't wait to see what they did with that money. Land Grant Teachers Colleges? Panama Canal? Hoover Dam? TVA? WWI? WWII? Korea? Interstates? Mercury/Gemini/Apollo Moon program? Something like that? No, wait a minute-- each and every one of those was commensurate with or prior to JFK and his $100B of federal spending overhead...over half of which was for defense at the peak of the Cold War. That population and inflation adjusts to maybe $1400B to $1500B today...and we're at $3800B/yr. Surely there is something that this government is doing with that -extra- $2.3T/yr above JFK's fully adjusted number that we will all remember warmly in five months...much less five generations from now. What are we doing that is going to make that pre-$100B list above? Because it was JFK's America with the economies that roared. Feel stimulated yet?

Hi Deborah,
I'm 54. Am I too old to wear leggings?……Confused in Cleveland
Hi Confused,
Your question does not have a "one size fits all" answer. The short answer is, you're never too old for leggings….but, you must style them in a way that makes you look sophisticated, not silly.
Here are two great examples.
Try Long Sweater Coat
You can't go wrong with this basic style recipe for leggings that is classy and casual. Take a black pair of leggings and add a top or t-shirt in the same color to create a nice long slimming line. Then throw on a long cascading sweater in a contrasting color and a pair of comfy, hip riding boots and you have the perfect where anywhere casual outfit.
Wear a Tunic
This is another classic style recipe. We stuck with the idea of riding boots which are always super popular in the fall and winter but this time, instead of a top and sweater, we have simply paired leggings with a fabulous tunic. A tunic is just a long top or it can be a short dress. Sometime you'll see a dress that you love but it is too short. Often it can be worn as top over leggings.
One more note… Remember when I started off by saying you want to look sophisticated and not silly in leggings?
Do you notice how we have stuck to basic black leggings?
I suggest you stick to solid colors. If you are out looking for leggings and you come across something like these wild patterned ones and think they look pretty fun, please stay away. These are more of a costume than a fashion look. Glam Gals need to look classy, not flashy in leggings. Here are some photos of real women over 40 in leggings to help inspire you!
Do you wear leggings? Send a photo to firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll post it.

Racial Preferences in a Small Urban Housing Market: A Spatial Econometric Analysis of Microneighborhoods in Kingston, New York
AbstractThis paper use spatial econometric models to test for racial preferences in a small urban housing market. Identifying racial preferences is difficult when unobserved neighborhood amenities vary systematically with racial composition. We adopt three strategies to redress this problem: (1) we focus on housing price differences across microneighborhoods in the small and relatively homogenous city of Kingston, New York; (2) we introduce GIS-based spatial amenity variables as controls in the hedonic regressions; and (3) we use spatial error and lag models to explicitly account for the spatial dependence of unobserved neighborhood amenities. Our simple OLS estimates agree with the consensus in the literature that black neighborhoods have lower housing prices. However, racial price discounts are no longer significant when we account for the spatial dependence of errors. Our results suggest that price discounts in black neighborhoods are caused not by racial preferences but by the demand for amenities that are typically not found in black neighborhoods.

Richard Hawley at Hull City Hall on February 26, 2013
Posted: January 24, 2013|
By Katy Forrester
After missing out on the Mercury Prize, troubadour Richard Hawley is hoping to secure a Brit Award for best male solo artist.
He may not have enjoyed the same mainstream success as fellow nominees Calvin Harris, Olly Murs, Plan B and Ben Howard, but he's finally getting the recognition he deserves.
And while Ben has only just started out in the industry, Richard is something of a veteran.
Standing At The Sky's Edge, his seventh studio album, went to number three in the charts, and he's heading to the city next month to show a Hull audience exactly what all of the fuss is about.
Related content
Last year, the Mercury Music Prize went to Leeds lads Alt-J who breezed in and took the £20,000 prize money.
But Richard is by no means bitter, and he told website Drowned In Sound that the past 12 months have been "totally unexpected."
He said: "The album going in at number three and other extremes like breaking my leg on tour – that was pretty weird – but on the whole it's been an exceptional year."
His latest album, which was inspired by the loss of musician friend Tim McCall, was heavier and darker than his previous offerings and explored love, loss and disillusionment.
He said losing Tim at just 37 was one of the "biggest blows" he had ever been dealt after the guitarist fell down the stairs at his home.
Fans and critics embraced the inspired album and Richard achieved his highest chart place to date, as well as his second Mercury Music Prize nomination.
But Richard thought he was taking a risk recording the album and feared he may lose fans.
He said: "It was almost a paradigm shift in a way, in my life, to create the music on that record.
"It was such a shift in gears I didn't really expect people to go with me.
"It was something that I had to do and I knew that I'd got to it, so I thought I might lose a lot of folks.
"I was really pleased, I almost had to redefine what I thought of human beings – they went with me and I didn't really expect that."
The last single to be released from Richard's album – Don't Stare At The Sun – will be out later this month.
He said: "There are so many people that believed in me along the way.
"I don't intend to stop, I intend to keep going."
The Brit Awards will take place on February 20, broadcast live on ITV1.

(WHAS11) - A group of southern Indiana men have banded together to fight violence against women.
It was the first ever Men Against Violence Against Women Rally for Harrison County and Corydon, Indiana.
The Hoosier Hills Pact has been around for three years in southern Indiana but it's the first time it's held an event in Harrison County.
The Harrison County sheriff's office says since 2000, they've responded to at least 3000 domestic violence calls, which is about one every single day.
And that doesn't even include the ones Corydon police and Indiana State Police have responded to.
?"Although we see there's 3,000 calls. These are only the ones reported. Of the 3,000 there's probably 10,000 that didn't get reported. There's usually one in four that gets reported," said Sgt. Bryan Byrne, Harrison Co, Sheriff's Dept.
If you'd like to get involved in the Hoosier Hills Pact to stop violence against women, call 812-738-1262 in Corydon or 812-883-3318 in Salem, Indiana.

Anybody really understand what a tight end is or exactly what's going on there? Me neither. It's by far the strangest position in all of football, kind of a mash-up, a crossover, a hybrid of every position.
None of which rolls together easily.
It's like the odd combination of a dump truck and a Formula 1 rocket, like the hypothetical love child of Meatloaf and Kate Upton. It's Cro-Magnon man in dancing shoes.
Some coaches don't even know what they want out of their tight end, or even if they want a tight end. Some favor a beastly blocker, others a beautiful receiver. Some look for strength, others for soft hands. Some utilize them as a sixth big ugly to secure the point of attack, others throw them the ball, making them a featured part of the offense.
And that last one is currently the case around here. The tight end has become all the rage, the hotspot in BYU and Utah football.
The Utes have five main tight ends, and you're about to get to know them a whole lot better. Kyle Whittingham says any one of them could be a starter. No. 5 on that list is Kendrick Moeai, who once was the starter. Jake Murphy, who had 78 receiving yards and two touchdowns in Utah's opener, teamed with David Rolf and Dallin Rogers for nine catches in that game. Westlee Tonga is another gifted TE.
"We've never been this deep or this talented," says Whittingham. "Jake has mad ball skills. Two or three of them are among our best 11 offensive players."
BYU, led now by Kaneakua Friel, who snagged six passes for 101 yards and two TDs in the Cougars' first game, has a total of 10 tight ends on its roster. Austin Holt, who caught one pass against Washington State, and Richard Wilson are also in the top mix.
"We're going to utilize them like we have in the past," says offensive coordinator Brandon Doman. "To say they're going to be as good as [former Cougar] Dennis Pitta, I don't know. But we're giving them opportunities to be BYU tight ends."
Past BYU notables include Clay Brown, Gordon Hudson, Itula Mili, Chad Lewis, Andrew George and Pitta.
Since Pitta soared through the 2009 season, Cougar tight ends had gone subterranean — "It hasn't been exactly what we wanted," Doman says — before their re-emergence in 2012's first game.
"The player I'm happy with is Kaneakua," Bronco Mendenhall says. "And there's Austin and Richard, and when you add Marcus [Mathews], all of a sudden the athleticism and the numbers look pretty good."
Emblematic of the hybrid nature of the position, Mathews has pinged and ponged from receiver to tight end to receiver. Utah's Rolf has been even more versatile. In high school, he played linebacker, receiver, long snapper, punter, defensive end and safety. At Utah, he was supposed to be a defensive lineman — until switching to tight end last season.
"I've done it all," he says. "I like playing tight end, but I'm still learning. Running routes is the toughest thing."
For Murphy, that's the easiest thing: "David has real good blocking skills. Kendrick and Dallin and Westlee all have different skills. But we all want to be all-around tight ends. I was more of a receiver. Then, I gained 45 pounds on my mission."
A steady diet of pig, horse and taro during his time in Sydney supersized Murphy — "I just kept expanding," he says — and moved him from outside to inside. After a redshirt year and then an MCL tear last season, Murphy says he is "100 percent" now. He looked it against Northern Colorado.
"To get this right, you've got to be able to do it all — run, block and catch," he says. "And you've got to be tough."
And smart.
On account of varying roles, no other player, outside of quarterback, has to grasp offensive schemes like a tight end. In both BYU's and Utah's attacks, different players are called upon in certain situations according to their specific strengths. But, like Murphy says, all of them want to be the master of everything.
Both Doman and Utah OC Brian Johnson understand the value they have at tight end, thus the new revolution there.
"BJ knows how talented our guys are," says Ilaisa Tuiaki, Utah's tight ends coach. "He's doing a good job of using them. All five are good enough to start, but there's only one ball to go around."
Tuiaki says his dream scenario is to see the Ute offense go four tight ends — "We want all five out there," he says — but he'll take whatever he can get.
"We're so deep at that position," he says. "We're trying to get the most out of them."
After Week 1, the Ute and Cougar tight ends have been both brutes and beauts, blocking hard and catching 16 balls for 213 yards and four touchdowns. And there's more to come.
Cro-Magnon man has found his dancing shoes.
