Pediatric dentistry (formerly Pedodontics/Paedodontics) primarily focuses on children from birth through adolescence. The American Dental Association (ADA), recognizes pediatric dentistry as a specialty, and therefore requires dentists to undertake two or three years of additional training after completing a general dentistry degree. At the end of this training, the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry issues a unique diploma (Diplomate ABPD). Some pediatric dentists (pedodontists) opt to specialize in oral care for children with special needs; specifically children with autism, varying levels of mental retardation, or cerebral palsy.
One of the most important components of pediatric dentistry is child psychology. Pediatric dentists are trained to create a friendly, fun, social atmosphere for visiting children, and always avoid threatening words like "drill," "needle," and "injection." Dental phobias beginning in childhood often continue into adulthood, so it is of paramount importance that children have positive experiences and find their "dental home" as early as possible.
What Does a Pediatric Dentist Do?
Pediatric dentists fulfill many important functions pertaining to the child's overall oral health and hygiene. They place particular emphasis on the proper maintenance and care of deciduous (baby) teeth, which are instrumental in facilitating good chewing habits, proper speech production, and also hold space for permanent teeth.
Other important functions include:
Education - Pediatric dentists educate the child using models, computer technology, and child-friendly terminology; thus emphasizing the importance of keeping teeth strong and healthy. In addition, they advise parents on disease prevention, trauma prevention, good eating habits, and other aspects of the home hygiene routine.
Monitoring growth – By continuously tracking growth and development, pediatric dentists are able to anticipate dental issues and quickly intervene before they worsen. Also, working towards earlier corrective treatment preserves the child's self-esteem and fosters a more positive self-image.
Prevention – Helping parents and children establish sound eating and oral care habits reduces the chances of later tooth decay. In addition to providing check ups and dental cleanings, pediatric dentists are also able to apply dental sealants and topical fluoride to young teeth, advise parents on thumb- sucking/pacifier/smoking cessation, and provide good demonstrations of brushing and flossing.
Intervention – In some cases, pediatric dentists may discuss the possibility of early oral treatments with parents. In the case of oral injury, malocclusion (bad bite), or bruxism (grinding), space maintainers may be fitted, a nighttime mouth guard may be recommended, or reconstructive surgery may be scheduled.
If you have questions or concerns about pediatric dentistry, please contact our office.
Given my own fears, I regularly attempt to actualize "dental anxiety". I can't really come up with something solid anymore thanks to Dr.
M and his team.
I'm always completely calm during my twice-a-year cleanings and exams.
Dianne is comforting and thorough as she gently reminds me to floss. A reminder I must hear again and again...and again. (Yes, it is like quitting smoking. Thank you Mr. Hedberg. I'm working on it.) His reception staff is equally as professional. They are all very welcoming and well-prepared to deal with anxious patients.
Dr. Modjtahedi is beyond professional. I still cannot fathom how he completely removes all pain from any surgical procedure or cavity filling.
He's an ace. He is one of the few professionals that I will gladly trek through the amazon to visit on a semi-annual basis. He has managed to remove my trepidation for the last five years. I'd recommend him to anyone.
Here's to a full set of teeth. Unless I don't start flossing.
Keith S. Long Beach, CA - 2/21/2010
After years of being dragged to dentists all over Little Saigon, I was convinced that I had an absolute fear of all dentists. Quite frankly, it was pathetic how terrified I was of them.
I found Dr. Modjtahedi through 1-800-DENTISTS, and within the first half hour of meeting him, felt completely at ease. "OOOH," I realized, "I'm not scared of dentists. I'm just scared of medical practitioners who have no idea what they're doing!"
Because I had avoided the dentist for awhile (and before that had had bad work done), there were several things that needed to be fixed. Every staff member was extremely caring and professional; They weren't over-crowded or over-worked, and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. Dianne, the hygienist, was great. She, along with everyone else, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I felt comforted knowing that these professionals kept up to date on the latest advancements in their fields. Also, they really took their time. I was never kept waiting, or rushed through an assembly line of anxious patients.
During this time, I also had to have some oral surgery done. I was extremely nervous about this, but Dr. M referred me to a colleague at Newport Medical Center who did a good job (Hey, sticking a needle in my arm without me even realizing it was pretty damn nice). Later, when I had complications due to dry sockets, I paged Dr. M in the middle of the night.
He called me back within minutes.
Getting care at Bijan Family is not cheap, but it's not outrageous either.
Of course, they don't misdiagnose you on purpose and subject you to painful, unnecessary (and often harmful) "treatments" just to claim the insurance.
They treat you with respect, and always keep you informed with honest information. Unfortunately, I have become one of those uninsured Americans.
But that hasn't stopped me from recommending Dr. M and his staff to anyone who asks.
LASTLY: If you are someone who hates needles, Dr. M is the dentist for you.
His competence alone was enough; It made me realize that lot of fear was dissipated just by finding a doctor to trust. I was surprised, however, when he jiggled my cheek as he numbed me. On top of being slightly amused, I hardly felt a thing!

Happy Friday! My 39th birthday is tomorrow. Not 40 yet! One year of my 30s left and I think it's going to be a great year. How could it not be when I get to spend it with my favorite people?!
I recently read the post below and it was so spot on to how I feel most days….
I am the keeper.
I am the keeper of schedules. Of practices, games, and lessons. Of projects, parties, and dinners. Of appointments and homework assignments.
I am the keeper of information. Who needs food 5 minutes before a meltdown occurs and who needs space when he gets angry. Whether there are clean clothes, whether bills are paid, and whether we are out of milk.
I am the keeper of solutions. Of bandaids and sewing kits and snacks in my purse. But also of emotional balms and metaphorical security blankets.
I am the keeper of preferences. Of likes and dislikes. Of nightly rituals and food aversions.
I am the keeper of reminders. To be kind, to pick up their trash, to do their dishes, to do their homework, to hold open doors and write thank you notes.
I am the keeper of rituals and memories. Of pumpkin patches and Easter egg hunts. I am the taker of pictures, the collector of special ornaments, and the writer of letters.
I am the keeper of emotional security. The repository of comfort, the navigator of bad moods, the holder of secrets and the soother of fears.
I am the keeper of the peace. The mediator of fights, the arbiter of disputes, the facilitator of language, the handler of differing personalities.
I am the keeper of worry. Theirs and my own.
I am the keeper of the good and the bad, the big and the small, the beautiful and the hard.
Most of the time, the weight of these things I keep resembles the upper elements on the periodic table – lighter than air, buoying me with a sense of purpose. It's what I signed up for. It's the one thing I am really good at.
But sometimes the weight of these things I keep pulls me down below the surface until I am kicking and struggling to break the surface and gasp for breath.
Because these things I keep are constantly flickering in the back of my brain, waiting to be forgotten. They scatter my thoughts and keep me awake long past my bedtime.
Because all these things I keep are invisible, intangible. They go unnoticed and unacknowledged until they are missed. They are not graded or peer reviewed or ruled on by a court. And sometimes they are taken for granted.
To all of you who are keepers, I see you.
I know the weight of the things you keep.
I know the invisible work you do—which doesn't come with a pay check or sick leave—is what makes the world go round.
I see you.
And I salute you.
Link is here.
I am the keeper…the proud, exhausted, grateful, overwhelmed, and very happy keeper. Here's to keeping it all together for another year!
Happy birthday to me!

First morning of our Annual WINTER SALE. All books, paper, postcards, maps 20-60% off! Now through Feb. 5th. Longer than our Autumn one in case a snowstorm descends and keeps customers away.
A nice steady flow of browsers and buyers most of the morning & afternoon. I even got a chance to find some deals in the stacks. Seller BDZ restocked and all his books now are $3 and $5. Some very interesting titles. And WWCO'S two booths of nautical and ship books is now 50% off. (Just sold a great Titanic book of his and one entitled Petticoat Whalers?...) Two dealers have been adventurous and gone to 60% off. Most books 40% off with the mezzanine at 50% off and a few scattered 20% & 30 % offs. We will be restocking during the sale. Too many books still hiding in boxes and stuck under the table that need to see the light of day.
Eugene is working part-time so if you are in on a Monday or Tuesday before 2pm you will see him at the desk. Nice to have his energy, ideas and himself back at the Book Center after being away for more than a year.
If you are reading this and got a post card from us advertising the sale, we want to encourage you to come onto our email list. With over 1200 customers on the snail mail list and post card postage rising,rising, rising we need to economize. Just send us your email through this website (see the Contact Us tab above) and we will put you on our email list for the 2 Annual Sales, the Pioneer Valley Book Fair in the Fall and 1 or 2 other special book events during the year. Thank you in advance for helping us to lower our expenses.
Unfortunately I have not gotten to walk Fred very often this month. ARRGGH! I miss our walks but we did two shows one weekend after another (Papermania & Boston Design & Antique show (Wilmington, Mass.) and not around much in the daylight hours.(Does his owner think I am buried in a snowbank somewhere?)I have strong intentions of making up for my trangression(s) in the next week!
All for now, Barbara

Namibia: the vast nothingness. Here are the oldest and highest sand dunes, the darkest nights with spectacular celestial displays, The San people whose ancestry stretches back 150,000 years to the original Homo sapiens, And the oldest trees that exist on earth. The people of Namibia possess a reverence for the land. Himba women coat their bodies and hair in a mixture of animal fat and ochre; Literally covering bodies in the landscape. Rainfall is scarce, The sun is unrelenting, Yet respect for the landscape, the wildlife and all of the people who live here, remains. The wind rolls across the land from east and west, and forces the sand upward like ocean waves, mysterious and magical shapes and shadows. In Namibia, you are enveloped in sand and tinted red, once you stop resisting, you too, become part of the landscape.

THE founder of Liverpool's Fact centre is to leave next March to set up a new national film centre in London.
Eddie Berg will become artistic director of the proposed National Centre for the Moving Image, which has been inspired by the success of the Liverpool venue.
Mr Berg, chief executive of Wood Street-based Fact, said the decision was "the most difficult of my professional life".
"It's practically unimaginable for me to consider I might exist without being part of Fact - but this was the one opportunity I couldn't pass up."
The origins of Fact began in 1988, when Mr Berg established a project called Moviola, aimed at commissioning and presenting work by international artists working in film, video and new media.
The Video Positive biennial, first staged in Liverpool in 1989, was the principal showcase for the organisation's work but by 1992 Moviola had also established national services to artists and galleries.
Mr Berg's ultimate dream was a centre dedicated to commissioning, promoting and developing new art forms and last year the #11m Foundation for Art and Creative Technologies centre finally opened.
The first purpose-built arts project in Liverpool for more than 60 years is now one of Britain's leading centres for film, video and new media art and played a part in the successful Capital of Culture bid.
Mr Berg said: "The new #60m centre I'm charged with developing has been inspired by the success of Fact."
Professor Drummond Bone, new chairman of Fact, said: "Though we're very sorry to see Eddie go, Fact will continue to flourish as his enduring legacy to Liverpool."

According to a recent HSBC study UAE school fees are reported to be the second-highest in the world after Hong Kong. It's estimated that, from primary school to university, the average parent will shell out Dh365,025 over the course of one child's education. At no time are the financial implications of this more apparent than during the back-to-school period, where most parents will be looking at significantly lighter wallets after handing over fat cheques for the upcoming school term.
Additionally, although education costs are reportedly exempt, the spectre of a 5% VAT on all goods and services is looming on the horizon for the UAE from January 2018, meaning that household costs are inevitably going to go up.

Combined with stagnating salaries across most sectors, most of us would jump at the chance to save a few dirhams on schooling if it were possible.
And there might just be a way to achieve this, according to one education expert. This year, almost 20 new schools have opened in Dubai alone, the KHDA reports - the highest number of schools opening in one year that the emirate has ever witnessed. This is despite the fact that the inflow and outflow of expat workers to the UAE seems to have stabilized in 2017 compared to last year, when many firms were downsizing, according to Gulf News, so there are still more school spaces available than ever before.
This means that whereas parents used to have to fight tooth and nail to reserve their children a spot in the UAE – sometimes registering their child's name with a school before the baby had even been born – the shoe may finally be on the other foot. Parents potentially have some leverage to negotiate, says Fiona Mackenzie, director of Gabbitas Middle East, a company of educational consultants who help parents to find the right school for their children in the UAE and internationally.
"School fee discounting is not something that many schools will confess to as it leads to all sorts of complications," says Fiona. "However, there is no denying that many schools have got spare capacity at the moment, especially at the premium end [of the market].
"What we are noticing, particularly with new schools, is that they are offering great deals for new starters such as Founders scholarships, which in some cases extend for the whole time the child is at the school. This can be a massive saving over a four or five-year period. Some schools are also including things in the fees that would previously have been charged as extras – such as a set of uniform, or are not charging for any extracurricular activities, even those that are run by external providers. Schools are definitely having to look at providing better value for money as part of being competitive in the market.
"I would certainly recommend negotiating if there is more than one child in the family, some schools will do a sibling discount. If a child is very academic, sporty, arty, or musical for example then it is also worth asking about scholarships in these areas."
Fiona continues: "Some schools will be prepared to give a discount if parents pay in cash up front for the year. That is definitely a negotiating point."
Sunday 10th September is the official first day of school for the UAE (although many children have already started this week) – this could be food for thought if you haven't already paid up for the year.

Zoom Gains Tokyo Stock Exchange Listing
Zoom has announced its listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Founded in Tokyo's Akihabara district in 1983, Zoom started as a third-party developer for other brands. Seven years later, Zoom developed its proprietary DSP technology, which eventually led to the creation of its first product, the 9002 Multi-Effects Processor for guitar.
In recent years, the Zoom brand has grown in worldwide popularity. The company's portable Handy Recorder series is widely acclaimed not only among musicians, but also among sound designers and videographers. Zoom recently introduced its line of professional field recorders, the F8 and F4, used in sound recording for film and broadcast.
"Our listing in Tokyo represents a new beginning for Zoom, in which we will build upon our success in the development of sound processing, and our continuation to expand with new and original products for the wider market of audio and video content creation," said co-founder and CEO Masa Iijima.

SHA: No Other Professional Development Has Inspired Me More
SHA came into my professional life at the most opportune time and, I suspect, had more of an impact on me than upon most.
I was three years into a position at Old Sturbridge Village. It was 1979. The announcement was so engaging, especially the fact that it would then be held in the mecca of outdoor history museums, Colonial Williamsburg.
While at the Seminar I met some remarkable individuals, kindred spirits in fact. Our own Denny O'Toole was one of them. Even more fortunately, a job was available at CW (though I was not looking) that was right up my alley,and by year's end Denny and I (along with a cast of other kindred spirits) were at work together during a very exciting time at CW. In time, my enthusiasm for the SHA was such that there came an opportunity to assist with its annual offerings as the CW coordinator. This I was fortunate to do for seven years, years that enabled me to meet over 100 hundred good colleagues.
In short, I can think of no other professional development scheme that has inspired me more; introduced me to life-long friends and colleagues; and–more importantly–has changed the field more than the SHA. Knowing the history of this Seminar over its half-century-plus life span, it is very clear that it has played a seminal part in "peopling a profession" with well-qualified, enthusiastic, and well-connected alumni who, together have had huge impact on our field. It is quite the engine!
I was fortunate to have been at institutions that highly value professional development, places that appreciate that they have an obligation to a larger field and more universal ethic of history teaching and administration. Sturbridge and Williamsburg were, an hopefully still are, enlightened in this regard. One's very attendance at the SHA encourages this responsible thinking while discouraging institutional myopia. The field is much, much better for the SHA, for it offers all an opportunity to leave for a while and come back greatly renewed and engaged.
Ad Summa, SHA!
Bill Tramposch (SHA '79) is Executive Director of the Nantucket Historical Association. He recently gave this keynote address at the SHA 2012.

When you ask a genuine wholesale supplier for an account with credit terms, the wholesaler typically asks you for Trade References. When supplying a Trade Reference your provide a telephone (fax or email address) that allows the new wholesale supplier to contact people your have purchased from in the past to determine your payment history and credit worthiness.
A new business will not have any prior credit history. You will have to pay up front or using your credit card until you have built up a good credit history with your wholesale supplier. That wholesale supplier then becomes a Trade Reference for you (provided you have a good payment history with that wholesale supplier.)

I don't seem to be able to obtain much more than a partial charge on 3 cells. Starting with a battery which indicates a little over 10 volts, the current starts at about 1 amp, falling rapidly to about 200 Ma over about 30 seconds.
It then trails off to less than 50 ma in about a minute. Battery terminal voltage climbs to, and matches the 12.5 volts set on the charger.
Discharging the battery into a 10 ohm, 10 watt resistor mounted on a heatsink at about 1.5 amps takes only a couple of minutes to discharge it back down to around 10 volts again.
I'm puzzled, as my converted Motorola cell phone charger takes much longer to do 2 cells and will deliver about 600 ma for quite some time before the charge rate begins to decrease, eventually stopping when it reaches 8.4 volts.
I'm wondering if I shouldn't try a different power supply to feed this?
Hi Lee,
"After you have built it check that the output voltage is no greater than 4.2 volts per cell. Then set your multimeter up to read amps and short out the outputs with the probes to make sure the current is correct. "
Can you tell me what the Amp reading is after this test?
Could you tell me what current seting resistor you are using?
Arent you trying to charge a 3S2P pack of 1250mAH cells? This will require 2.5 Amps at 1C. The max current a LM317 is rated for is 1.5A
I assume your using some kind of Lab power supply where you can crank up the voltage and also adjust the current.
Also are the LM317s getting warm as they should be quite hot for the first hour then drop off to stone cold after that. I hope you aren't excedeing the 1.5 amp limit and they are going out on overload.
Sorry reading back on the thread I am now assuming you are using 2 3cell 1250mAH Etecs and paralleling them up after they are charged?
If it is a lab supply you have and you are happy satisfied the circuit is limiting the amps and the voltage never excedes 12.6 on the output side turn the amp adjust on the Lab supply to full as this is being limited on circuit anyway and then keep turning the voltage up until the ampmeter on the Lab Supply reachs the max you have set on the circuit. Note the voltage. I would go for around 20 volt input. What is the max current your supply can deliver at this voltage?
Hope we can get this sorted soon.

Heres a couplle of pics showing testing
1.2 ohm resistor for 1.04A current
Connected like this the current reg will get hot very quickly but the input voltage should not alter the amperage reading (above the dropout voltage that is. And the Voltage regulator should remain cool.
For a 2 Cell pack being charged to 8.4 volts
(96 x 8.4v) - 120 = 686 ohms
Using a trimpot is not good practice in my view.
Note the different connections to the multimeter.
The more I think about the problems you are having the more I think it must be the supply isnt putting out enough voltage or amps.
I'm putting these up for others as well as you Lee so don't feel like I'm treating you like you can't use a multimeter.
I just built a 3 cell version, fired right up. I bread boarded it in 10 minutes... now that I know it worked well I'll build a permanent version. Very nice little circuit - it filled my needs very well.
I used a 2k pot for the voltage adjustment. I'll put in a 10-turn unit in the final model.
I'm using a laptop power supply rated at 4A at 19.7V. I have not tried to completely charge a pack yet, but my initial current draw was 1.1A with a 1 ohm resistor. I plugged in a 10 ohm to drop the charge rate to 200 ma measured, since I am charging smaller cells.
Thanks for the design!
Thanks Jason
The small stuff is where this circuit will shine as then its well with the specs of the regulators.
It would be nice if some kind off fast finishing could be implemented as that second hour of charging is a bit annoying.
A small warning.
The LM317 datasheet specifies the Minimum Load Current to Maintain Regulation to be typically 3.5ma but not more than 10ma.
My 4.2 volt charger worked on 2.3ma, but its a good idea to test the output with no load.
I built a charger a few weeks ago, 4.2 volts @ 125ma, using two LM317s but I used a 5k pot for voltage reg.. I had to add a 2.2k in parallel to get it to regulate with no load.
A 2k pot for a 12.6 volt supply would probably work fine, but a 5k pot on a 4.2 volt supply wont.
Thanks Happy Hobit the small load and the Low ESR capacitor are good points and should really be put on. I actually considered the battery to be load enough but if a pack is left on charge for extended periods some strange things could possibly happen.
I also see you have used a 1 watt for the current regulation 5 watt is overkill here do you think?
The thing that concerned me most when building this was the accuracy of my muiltimeter as the output has to be right.
Hi Electron_Head,
>I actually considered the battery to be load enough but if a pack is left on charge for extended periods some strange things could possibly happen.
A battery charged to 4.2 volts on a 4.2 power supply is no load (except battery leakage)
This would probably take a while because of the way the charger works and I cant see any way to make it faster with the voltage limit.
>I also see you have used a 1 watt for the current regulation
No its only 1/4 watt.
The voltage drop across the current regulator resistor (10 ohms) is 1.25 volts. I = E / R, 1.25 / 10 = .125 amps
P=E*I, 1.25 volts *.125 amps = .156 watts.
A 5 watt resistor could handle 4 amps.
Like you said it makes a fine, simple, cheep, charger.
Hi Jay,
Your starting to show up my lack of electrical knowlege now.
So heres the circuit with the mods as suggested by Jay. If you download a datasheet for the 317 or 350 you will see the reasons for each capacitor and the output load.
Can be omitted in most cases but much better to include for peace of mind as these batteries arent cheap.
You have a fine eye to pick up the capacitors I had included.
Id suggest a ceramic for the input cap, Tantalum and electrolytic dont usually come that small.
I bought a 5-pack of 10 ohm resistors from Radio Shack to build 2 chargers. A 125 ma, using 1 of the resistors, and a 500ma charger using the other 4 in parallel.
Heres the corrected schematic for my 125 ma charger.
Jay : )
Was only able to steal a couple of minutes to devote to the charger this evening.
Amps with the terminals shorted is 1.69, so it is drawing too much current for the 317 it would seem. Ther wirewound resistor measures 1.68 ohms, and is a 5% tolerance.
Voltage adjust resistor is a 2K 10 turn pot. Using 122 ohms in the output to adjust of the voltage regualting 317. In the next day or two, I'll go back to the fixed value restors I started with at the beginning.
Power supply is only voltage variable, not current. Feeding 20 volts to the input of the charger. Should be good for about 3 amps.
Will keep you posted as I get the time to tinker further. The 3 cell battery behaviour while on charge has me puzzled though.
Check very closely the current limiting part of your circuit.
With 1.68 ohm resistor there you should only be getting 0.74 Amps across the output when shorted.
Don't attempt any battery charging until after you have got it to pass the two tests in the pictures above (Voltage and Current)
For 12.6volts the voltage resistor is 1090 ohms or less (1K and 82 ohm resistors in series or 820 ohm and 270 ohm) would be close enogh to begin with. Or whatever you have to add up right . 120 ohms is for the other fixed resistor and this always remains at 120 ohms. Agian whatever the input voltage is the output should never excede 12.6 volts

Inverness Caledonian Thistle 1 v 0 Celtic
So here we are after four games still sitting atop this most topsy turvy of Leagues after a convincing display against the current champions that merited more than the solitary winning goal that the game was won by.....Inverness passed Celtic to distraction.
In Tansey and Draper we had the midfielders who commanded the game, in Brill by far the better goalkeeper, in Warren the best defender and in Watkins the most skilled attacker. They were better all over the field against a much changed Celtic side that still contained first team that was supposedly weakened.
Looking closely, Mulgrew is a Scotland international as are Commons and Griffiths. Ambrose featured in the world cup, Biton has featured for Israel. Pukki has played for Finland. Even Zaluska has played for Poland so this was no "second string" pushed in as cannon fodder. None of these players are mugs although that's what some of the media have portayed them as. Don't believe a word of it.
As early as the fourth minute, Tansey had rifled a vicious strike at Zaluskas' goal that had the keeper scrambling to divert....and it wasn't the last time that the Liverpudlian would trouble him. Inverness were settling into their Hughes inspired style and Celtic offered little in answer, Griffiths mustering their first attempt in twelve minutes.
When Celtic did ask questions, they were answered emphatically by Dean Brill. The big Englishman has been a revelation since coming north from a tier of football unknown to most Caley Thistle fans. How he must love it here at present with a great defence in front of him and his form at its best. Saves against Pukki and Ambrose were of note and even when he was beaten, the woodwork saved the day.
The second half was where Caley Thistle really kicked on, exemplified by Marley Watkins. He made such a misery of Twardzik's day that the full back was replaced by Johansen...Watkins took him apart as well. His was the driving run that forged a cross just after the hour that Billy Mckay tore after. Such was the consternation caused that Zaluskas parried the ball off the unfortunate O'Connell and into the net.
If that was supposed to spur Celtic on, it didn't and Christie blasted a great chance wide just after the goal. Even after that, substitute Ross crafted a fine shot that brought an equally fine save to keep the score at 1-0.
So the match finished, and an obviously irked Ronnie Diela was left to face the press. No matter what he said, no matter how it was interpreted the fact is that the better team won and long may that continue. I for one think it will.
John Hughes? He maintains steadfastly that there are no lofty ambitions, no dreams of glory and there won't be until our place in the league is cemented. Inside that craggy exterior, however, must be one of the happiest men in Scotland right now and who can blame him?
Next Saturday brings Kilmarnock north, and will we still be top of the League at 5.45pm? Do yourself a huge favour and come along and see for yourself – you'll be glad you did.

Admissions and Financial Support
Admission and Application
The Department of History admits students seeking the Ph.D. as their terminal degree. Language preparation is highly desirable. Prospective medievalists, especially, must have already studied some Latin, and modern Europe applicants must have some knowledge of either French or German.
Incoming graduate students in history begin study in the fall semester only. Students applying to enter in the fall must submit their application electronically through the Graduate School no later than January 4th.
The Statement of Intent accompanying the application should describe your areas of interest as explicitly as possible and should list the departmental faculty with whom you wish to study. Please note that professors designated "emeritus" are retired and no longer teach. Applicants are admitted to work under the direction of full-time Teaching and Research (T&R) faculty only.
The writing sample should demonstrate your skills in writing, analysis, and, if possible, historical research. In general, writing samples should be no longer than 20 pages. If you are sending part of a longer work (for example, a Master's thesis), please include an abstract describing the whole piece and its argument.
Financial Support
All graduate students admitted to the Ph.D. program are offered a full tuition scholarship and a stipend for five years. Funding is also available to support travel to present research papers at conferences and summer research.
The University makes a number of fellowships available, some that are open to all graduate students and some that are open only to students studying in particular programs and subjects. The Graduate School Office of Grants and Fellowships provides a searchable database of fellowships available for Notre Dame graduate students. Students should discuss University fellowship opportunities with the Director of Graduate Studies.
The Department of History also encourages graduate students to seek outside fellowships for financial support. Such awards not only provide financial assistance, but act as formal recognition of the student's accomplishments and promise as a researcher and scholar.

When buying a home, it is helpful to determine the type of home you'll like and how much you can afford before beginning your search. Most lenders allocate approximately 28% of your GROSS MONTHLY INCOME to housing expense. Housing expense includes principal, interest, taxes and insurance (PITI). To get an idea of how much you can afford to pay each month for a home, multiply your gross monthly income by 28%.
When coupled with current outstanding loans, the total for your debt service should not exceed 36% of your gross monthly income. Some lenders may have slightly more liberal requirements or loan interest rates which may increase your purchasing power.
Mortgage interest, property taxes, loan fees or "points" are currently tax deductible (up to allowable limits). Points are generally deductible in the year paid. A point equals 1% of the mortgage amount. If you are in the 28% tax bracket, this is equivalent to receiving a 28% discount on your mortgage interest and property taxes. During the first years of the mortgage your tax savings are especially high because most of your monthly payment goes toward loan interest.
Most mortgage lenders take the guess work out of applying for a loan by determining for you the amount you can afford to borrow. Then, they give you a printed document stating the maximum mortgage amount you qualify for based on your particular finances and income.
Mortgage pre-approval establishes your price range and strengthens your buying position by letting the seller know that you have already been approved for the loan. It can also ease time constraints once the purchase agreement is signed between buyer and seller.
Consider these Scenarios:
You're out looking at homes. Your Real Estate Broker never mentions that you should get pre-approved and just ballparks what you can afford. Of course, the more house he shows you, the better he usually comes out. You find the perfect house and work out a deal with the seller. Three weeks later, the lender informs you that the house is $10,000 over what you qualify for and does not approve your loan. The seller has already bought another house. You've given notice where you're renting and told all your friends about the great house you bought. And then, there's the money you've already spent on inspections on a house you can't own.
You and your Realtor® have been working diligently finding that "perfect" home. A new listing comes on the market that's priced right and has got everything you've been looking for. You write an offer. Your Realtor® takes it to the listing Realtor® and is informed that another offer is coming in and will have to present both offers simultaneously to the Seller. The other Buyer is pre-approved for his loan. Whose offer do you think the seller will negotiate first?

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Camden District Curriculum
The Camden Fairview School District believes that all students can learn and incorporates various instructional strategies to allow them to do so. The content that is taught should be meaningful and relevant to the students. Students should learn how to cooperate in groups, and teachers should also collaborate with one another. Both teachers and students should be lifelong learners. The school and faculty provide a safe, nurturing environment for students to learn in.
Camden Fairview is currently in the final stage of implementing the Common Core Standards—having already done so in the K-8 grade levels and now doing so in the upper grades. The combination of these standards and the upcoming PARCC assessment helps prepare students for life after high school. Teachers, students, parents, administrators, and the community work together to create a high quality curriculum.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Keeping Informed: Recent Camden Educational News
- Mathematics Standards Partnership - Harmony Grove has partnered with several school districts in southern Arkansas, two universities located in the state, the South Central Service Cooperative, and the Southwest-B Education Renewal Zone to create the SAMSP. The purpose of the partnership is for student improvement in math at the state level and to provide professional development to support educators' expertise of the Common Core Standards. The majority of the participating school districts include a high percentage of students located in rural areas.
- Long-Running Science Fair - In 2013, Southern Arkansas University held its 32nd annual science fair, which included students from Harmony Grove and Camden Fairview. Four hundred students in grades three and up displayed their projects. After the judging was complete, the general public was able to visit the science fair.
- Team Spirit - 200 teammates, cheerleaders, and dance team members showed their spirit by having a pep rally for an ill student. In the hospital, the students had a pep rally for the teenager, who was also surrounded by his family. The football players wore the number 96 on their helmets in honor of their teammate.
Chalk Talk: Giving Students a Choice
Teachers are the authority figures over their students, so generally, they make all the decisions as to the tasks and activities students will complete, what they will read and write about, how they will be assessed, etc. It can be difficult for teachers to let go of some of that control and allow their students to have a say in their learning by making some choices. Of course, teachers know and understand what is best for their students, but it is beneficial to provide choices within reason. Reading class is a key time in which students should get to make decisions but are not given that opportunity. The interest in reading is dwindling among today's children, and this is not helped by the fact that, in classrooms across the country, they are reading dull stories from the same basal reader week after week. In order for students to engage in reading, they need to read what they are interested in.

(AP) TAMPA, Fla. — Sheriff's deputies in southwest Florida say a convenience store manager shot a robber in the leg before he scooped up her 1-year-old child and tried to carry her out.
Thirty-two-year-old 32-year-old Daniel Ramont Hernandez died at a hospital after the Tuesday afternoon shooting in Naples.
The Collier County sheriff's report released Wednesday said 22-year-old manager Elizabeth Easterly shot the man after he demanded money and came around to her side of the counter.
The report says after he was wounded, the man tried to carry the stroller with infant out of the store with him. He was tackled by another man outside the store and held for deputies.
Family members said earlier they believed Easterly shot the man after he tried to escape with the child.

Last week we held the biggest DevOps Exchange London event yet, over 300 people attended on the night, and we'd like to thank our friends at Linux Recruit and AWS for their help! With talks on Kubernetes, Flynn and Elastic Beanstalk, this lineup was set to be a great one, and it didn't disappoint. If you missed out this time, check out next months event and join the meetup group here! All slides and videos from the meetup can be seen below.
Craig Box - Kubernetes
A talk about Google Kubernetes! Which is a "an open source implementation of container cluster management". Written in Go, works nicely with Docker and is extremely cool. Never heard of it? This is cutting edge technology that's poised to transform the way we manage deployments, resource allocation and just generally make the world a better place.
Lewis Marshall - Flynn
Flynn is an open source Platform as a Service. The trend recently has been for teams to organise around features. In this model you have embedded ops skills within those teams, but you still have a seperate 'platforms' or 'systems' team responsible for providing an automated way for those teams to push their changes into production. Flynn aims to be the product that team uses to provide the automated platform.
They are coming up to a v1.0 release so we're incredibly excited to have them tell us about the latest changes. For more info checkout out the site: https://flynn.io
Ian Massingham - Elastic Beanstalk
Amazon will be presenting a talk about the newest features of Elastic Beanstalk which is their hosted PaaS offering. Including how to use Docker to deploy your applications with their service. A lot of companies that we speak to already use some AWS services and they have a very mature offering in terms of features. If you want to find out more check out this link: http://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/

26 Oct Florida was at One Time the Oxycodone Capital of the United States?
A few years ago, the media began reporting that Florida was no doubt the unofficial pill mill of the United States. Florida had 93 out of 100 oxycodone dispensing doctors in the USA. This means that most of the pills were coming from Florida. This narcotic was used to treat pain. It was often given to people that suffered from addicts. Authorities saw this as being abusive and therefore put tougher regulations on many Florida pill mills.
There were 650 million oxycodone pills shipped in 2010. Another report that came out in 2010 said that oxycodone caused 1,516 overdose deaths in Florida. 2010 was not the worst year for drugs. Change did happen in 2010 as well by Purdue Pharmacy. They are the primary makers of oxycodone. When the report came out about oxycodone, they reformulated the drug. Shockingly, the drugs could no longer be snorted, crushed or injected. This helped reduce the illegal use of the drug that was going on.
The year 2011 was a year that the police were cracking down on doctors that were dealing these drugs illegally. If you owned a pain clinic, you were under investigation for the most part by the police. A lot of these clinics were actually raided. The police were not playing games and wanted to make it a serious matters. People were dying over these clinics giving medication to people that shouldn't have been taking it to begin with. There were some doctors that were sent to prison because they were considered to be drug dealers. The jury put them in prison because they knew that they were running a clinic giving people drugs illegally.
The new laws that were being put out were forcing doctors to keep better control over which patients actually get pain pills. If these pills were over prescribed, the doctor received a serious penalty. The government was doing all that it could to bring down the illegal practice of illegal oxycodone distribution. The Department of Health was now controlling the dispensing of these drugs. When these drugs were given out, the pharmacy had to report it to the department of health.
With stricter regulations, more care was put into the industry. Pills being shipped to Florida were under 527 million in 2011. That is a Signiant drop from the 650 million pills shipped in 2010. Each year, the pills being shipped to Florida drops. It is amazing what happens when stiff regulations come into play. In 2013, that number dropped down to 313 million. If you see the pattern, it looks like the people are beginning to take prescription drugs more seriously. Government officials that are making these laws are saving lives. These drugs should not be in the hands of addicts that want to abuse them. There are only 367 pain clinics across the state of Florida.
The amount of oxycodone deaths is dropping each year. It is important to keep in mind that Florida was once considered the drug capital of the world. Florida has been cleaning up its act over the past decade. Most people now see Florida as the state with too many drug and alcohol treatment centers. I guess that is better than seeing it as the drug capital of the United States.

Interview with Christopher W. Clark
|Posted on July 19, 2013 at 6:10 PM
Poetical Tv talks Exclusively to London based poet and performer, Christopher W. Clark.
Poetical Tv: Hi Christpher, what's the story behind you becoming a Poet?
Christopher: I basically started writing when I was four. I would use my pocket money to buy John Menzies jotters and would write stories and draw pictures in them to give to people. The first one was a gift for a relative and was about a magic bear that lived in the woods. When I started Uni four or five years ago, my tutor was the poet Sandeep Parmar who introduced the idea of poetry to my writing. She helped me better understand the form and underlying ideas, and how to bring that into my writing. I've pretty much written poetry ever since.
Poetical Tv: How would you describe the poetry you write?
Christopher: This is a bit difficult to answer as I think my poetry is constantly developing and evolving. The only thing that remains pretty much the same would be the voice contained within my work. It can be quite challenging for people as I tend to write in quite a sharp and abstract way that might seem fairly distant at first. Underlying that is a sentimentality and grounding in reality that often reveals itself as the poem progresses, or as the reader further explores the work. As much as that might put some people off, I like that specific idea my writing conveys. It reflects aspects of life that I'm often exploring with my poetry.
Poetical Tv: And how much would you say your poetry reflects you on a personal level?
Christopher: I think aspects of one's personality can only creep into their work, no matter how hard a writer might try to prevent that. I do try and avoid having anything too personal in there as it's more about presenting an idea to the reader and how they experience it, rather than being about what I'm thinking or feeling. That's not to say a poem doesn't start out from a particularly personal idea or experience, but I think poetry should be about more than that. Rather than telling the reader a particular way to think or feel about something, it should be about the reader discovering that for themselves and the specific journey that takes them there.
Poetical Tv: So, is there a favorite poem of yours that you feel most reflects how you feel about life or poetry in general?
Christopher: I would say that poems I'm particularly akin to, I feel differently about again a few months later. Writing is a state of flux and is very much a journey of exploration, so often I find that things I've written more recently represent more clearly how I feel about the world at that time. I think looking back at something you've written holds a great deal of fondness though and is like communicating with a past version of yourself, which is interesting. Saying that, the very first poem that I wrote holds quite important meaning to me and there are some that will always stand out, particularly 'Home'. It sums up a lot about what I was thinking at that time and ties into a lot of different things, more so than anything else I've written probably.
Poetical Tv: When and where do you most feel inspired to write?
Christopher: I find that inspiration comes in waves and this is why it's important to find time to write. Once you get a wave, it's important to ride it to the end, no matter what comes out. Reading other people's work is especially inspiring. There's something about relating to someone on that level that spurs you on. It's also important to be as open as possible to what's going on around you. The littlest glimpse of something or part of a sentence can lead you into the most interesting of places if you let it.
Poetical Tv: And what was the last poem you wrote about?
Christopher: I've recently been editing a lot so it's been hard to find time to write anything new. Often something just comes out whilst taking a break. I put everything I write up on my website so it's like an archive of everything I've ever done. It also means that if my laptop dies (which recently happened) I don't lose all my work. The last poem is about being in a situation where a person has completely lost control of their senses through anger and being in a position where you are completely subservient to that kind of feeling. If you've ever been in either side of that situation, it's like the world around you doesn't exist. It made me think of telekinesis, like in an old Linkin Park video or more recently, the David Guetta and Sia video for 'Titanium'. I often have pop culture references floating around in my mind when I'm writing.
Poetical Tv: What motivates you to continue to write poetry?
Christopher: I think the ongoing exploration of the world is important. I don't just write, I explore academically. I think the two tie in nicely with each other though as it's all about developing a deeper understanding of the world around you. There's also something quite specific about sitting down and creating something that anyone who is creative will find is quite addictive and rewarding, albeit frustrating and exhausting at the same time. Maybe we're all just sadists underneath.
Poetical Tv: And what is next for you on your journey as a poet?
Christopher: I've currently just finished working on two big projects - one for the Royal Philharmonic Society and the other as part of an on-going photography project by Mick Frank. I think collaborative projects within the Arts is very important. I also have allowed a few composers to take recordings of my work to create music pieces with so am looking forward to the results. Apart from that I've been working on my first proper manuscript and creating a working portfolio. I have several Masters applications coming up for here and abroad. I think the opportunity to live and work in another country would be amazing. I'm very much interested in finding out different ways of writing and exploring cultures, experimenting with different forms and ideas.
Poetical Tv: Congratulations & good luck for the future. Final question Christopher, how can people possibly connect & interact with you online?
Christopher: There are a few ways to do that. I have a Twitter (@chriswillclark) which is updated quite regularly and is an important way to be able to communicate. I think there is something particular about writers and Twitter that work quite well together. My website (neveraboutyou.com) is updated with whatever I've been writing recently and is like one giant chap-book of all my work. I think online publishing is very important these days and allows a writer to connect instantaneously with followers of their work. Although that's not to say there isn't still room for good old-fashioned books you can hold in your hands. Also, it's pretty cool to be able to see your name in print somewhere beside something you've created in your room in South London.
Poetical Tv: Very true. Thank you very much Christopher.
