By Rick Rothacker and Jonathan Spicer
(Reuters) - As U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner prepares to step down on Friday, former colleagues are posing awkward questions about an allegation he leaked information on a planned interest rate cut when he led the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
Several former officials said the allegation, if true, suggests a likely violation of agency rules since interest rate discussions are confidential, and one said the central bank should have investigated the matter. Whether it did is unclear.
"Pending discount rate decisions and discussions were absolutely confidential," said former St. Louis Fed President William Poole, who was on the central bank's policy panel at the time but did not participate in the 2007 conference call in which the allegation was raised.
Both the Fed board in Washington and the New York Fed have declined to comment.
U.S. central bank interest rate decisions are extremely market sensitive, with the power to move asset prices from New York to Tokyo to London, and the Fed guards them jealously.
Regional Fed bank presidents "should strictly preserve the confidentiality of (Fed) System information that, if revealed, could benefit any person or impair the effectiveness of System operations and policies," according to guidance on ethics in a Fed administrative manual.
The allegation that Geithner told Bank of America about plans to cut the so-called discount rate was raised by Richmond Fed chief Jeffrey Lacker on August 16, 2007, just as the financial crisis was gaining traction. It surfaced publicly last Friday when the Fed released transcripts of its 2007 policy meetings, and was reiterated in a statement Lacker issued after the transcripts were made public.
Geithner, who some analysts see as a potential future Fed chairman, denied the allegation during the call. The Treasury has declined to comment further and Geithner himself has remained silent.
Former Minneapolis Fed chief Gary Stern, who took part in the call, said he recalled the discussion clearly. "That was an unusual exchange by Federal Reserve standards," he said.
Stern emphasized that he did not know the merits of the case, but said he thought everyone on the Fed would feel strongly about the confidentiality of rate discussions.
"I would avoid tipping off anybody about anything. I would work hard not to do it unintentionally. There are things in the Fed that are confidential ... Crisis or not, I wouldn't do that," he said.
The day the Fed held the call, U.S. stock markets staged an explosive late-day rally, partly fueled by speculation the central bank was moving toward a rate cut. They rallied further the following day when the Fed lowered the discount rate it charges banks for loans and signaled growing chances of a cut in the federal funds rate, its main economic lever.
A former participant in Fed meetings said the secretary of the policy panel or the central bank's general counsel should have looked into the allegation raised by Lacker to see if any rules were broken. Both the general counsel, Scott Alvarez, and the committee's secretary, Brian Madigan, were on the call.
According to a person familiar with the matter, Lacker had a conversation with Bank of America's then-CEO Ken Lewis that led him to believe that on the day of the conference call Geithner had talked with some banks, including Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, about a plan to lower the discount rate.
It was part of an effort to get JPMorgan, Citigroup and Bank of America to borrow $25 billion each from the Fed and channel it into the asset-backed commercial paper market, which was in disarray. That plan never came to fruition. All three banks declined to comment for this article.
Geithner's conversation bothered Lacker because he felt it broke with protocol for a Fed president to talk to a bank in another district without speaking with that president first, according to the source. It also troubled him because he believed it violated the integrity of the Fed's policy panel to be discussing a potential action ahead of time, the source said.

The points were there for the grabbing. The Sabres just didn't want to have anything to do with them. That's the sad situation with the Buffalo Sabres. Two games in Florida this weekend netted the Sabres just one point in their desperate attempt to crawl out of the hole they've dug themselves this season and get back into the playoff race. The best the Sabres could do was to get a point out of Tampa Bay as they skated to a 2-all draw with the Lightning. The game was also a very costly one as the Sabres may have lost their captain for around two weeks.

Handy reminder: The PARSENAME() function can be useful for parsing small strings. It returns parts 1-4 (working right to left) of a string, with each part delimited by periods.
For example:
PARSENAME('most.valuable.yak',3) returns "most"
PARSENAME('most.valuable.yak',1) returns "yak"
PARSENAME('most.valuable.yak',4) returns NULL
This can be handy when you need to parse an IP address, or very simple CSV strings. Just REPLACE() the commas with periods and you are good to go. Just remember you are working backwards.
This is a system function, designed to parse SQL Server 4-part names, so it only works with periods and strings with 4 parts. But it can be useful!

In wrestling terms, Florida politicians have suffered a pile-driver, full-nelson and double-knee gut-buster.
All within the last few weeks.
And all delivered by judges who say political hacks don't have the right to thwart the people's will, or trample on the state constitution, just because they want to.
The good news is that these politicians aren't in the wrestling ring. Otherwise, they'd be in traction, and we'd be looking at them in singlets. (Eww.)
Still, the politicians could stave off futures smackdowns — and save time and money — if they'd quit trying to usurp the people's power and just do their jobs.
One recent beatdown came at the hands of a judge who schooled them on the facts that most of us learned back in civics class — that the constitution can't be ignored.
The ruling came in a case involving a group of fed-up parents who sued the state, saying they are sick and tired of Florida politicians short-changing our public schools.
The parents argue that Florida's school system — which features one of the lowest graduation rates in America — violates the state's constitutional obligation to provide a "high quality" education.
They have a good point.
But legislators, who would rather eat glass than properly fund schools, objected, saying that they shouldn't have to live up to such a silly and nebulous requirement … even if it is specifically spelled out in Article 9 of the constitution.
The judge basically said that if legislators want to argue that Florida schools and their 47th-place ranking for graduation rates are, in fact, "high quality," they are free to do so. But they can't just disregard the parts of the constitution they don't like.
We could perhaps ignore this silly legal strategy by legislators if it were a lone example. But it's not.
Legislators also got court-whacked in their pitiful attempt to protect their right to gerrymander.
Lawmakers, you see, know that Floridians will probably approve two fair-districting amendments on the November ballot. Amendments 5 and 6, after all, are good ideas — moves to prohibit politicians from drawing snake-like districts that slink through seven or eight counties and split neighborhoods in half, just so the politicians can get enough partisan voters to stay in office.
The amendments would make elections more fair — which is the last thing these guys want. If the deck ain't stacked, they don't want to play the game.
So legislators tried to add their own redistricting amendment to the ballot (No. 7) — one where the main goal was to undermine the impact of the other two.
Sound confusing? Well, you're not alone. The judge handling the case said the legislators' ham-handed effort to thwart voters took him more than three days to understand. Hizzoner, an appointee of both Jeb Bush and Charlie Crist, then tossed their proposed amendment off the ballot.
Lawmakers cherish their ability to gerrymander far too much to take no for an answer. In fact, upcoming house speaker Dean Cannon cared so much that he personally argued the appeal before the Supreme Court, which ruled against him late Tuesday.
But the legal beatdowns don't stop there.
Last week, another judge ruled that the legislature's attempts to gut the state's growth-management laws were unconstitutional. Another ruled earlier that legislators were trying to overstep their authority in trying to obstruct federal healthcare reform. The Supreme Court agreed with that one, too.
In most every case, the politicians tried to argue that rules don't apply to them.
And one judge after another reminded them that they are wrong.
The silliest part of all of this is that most of these lawsuits and amendment fights wouldn't be an issue if Florida politicians just did what they are supposed to do in the first place.
If they took care of our schools.
If they didn't try to rig elections.
If they'd stop playing games and simply do their jobs.

Couples spend time and energy planning their wedding day, just as much time and energy should go into planning a pregnancy
Auburn Hills, MI (PRWEB) January 11, 2013
Couples spend time and energy planning their wedding day, just as much time and energy should go into planning a pregnancy. Optimizing the mother's health before she is pregnant is very important. Healthy babies start by being healthy before conception. "We hope you'll start planning for pregnancy as soon as you begin to have thoughts about having a baby. Scheduling a preconception visit with Women's Excellence in Obstetrics & Gynecology or Women's Excellence in Midwifery for preconception care will help prepare women before they are pregnant," states Borowski. Getting proper preconception care can help a women achieve pregnancy more easily. The baby's organs start to develop before the mother knows she is pregnant. As this is a critical phase of development, stopping or changing medications that can cause harm to a growing baby, can prevent complications during the pregnancy. Taking a prenatal vitamin with folic acid and eating a healthy diet can greatly impact the baby's development.
Tracie Achrem and Chris Borowski are Certified Nurse Midwives at Women's Excellence in Midwifery and they are pleased to provide the personalized care experience that women are looking for. "We are given the opportunity to get to know our clients very well, we can discuss any concerns they may have and keep them healthy," says Achrem.
RSC Productions, Inc. will hold their 2013 Winter Bridal Celebrations Show at The Palace on Sunday, January 13, 2013 from noon to 5 p.m. Tickets at $8 in advance go on sale this Friday, November 9 at 10 a.m. at Palacenet.com, The Palace Box Office and all Ticketmaster locations, including The Palace Locker Room Store at Great Lakes Crossing. Tickets will be $10 the day of the show. Children 12 and under are admitted free.
Founded by Dr. Jonathan Zaidan, Women's Excellence in Midwifery is focused on providing a personalized approach to women's health and pregnancy with one-on-one, family-based care. The CNMs of Women's Excellence in Midwifery offer a holistic approach in the natural process of birth and minimize unnecessary interventions. Tracie Achrem and Chris Borowski are educated specialists in the "art" of normal labor and birth and view pregnancy as one of the most important events in a woman's life. The CNMs of Women's Excellence in Midwifery deliver at Crittenton Hospital in Rochester, MI. Visit them at http://www.centerofmidwifery.com.

Tom Banwell Designs, Inc is looking for long-term relationships with established craft show/art fair vendors who would benefit by adding our products to their line.
Our fashion masks sell very well in a retail craft show environment where there are mirrors and the opportunity for customers to try on the individual masks. For the right craft vendors our masks can provide an excellent source of income.
We offer our masks to select craft show vendors in two different ways.
Our fashion masks, character masks, crowns, cuffs and a few of our steampunk/plague doctor masks are available finished and bagged, ready to sell, for 50% off retail (as listed at tombanwell.etsy.com) for fashion masks, around 38% off for character masks, and around 35% of for plague doctor masks. You can see and order our finished wholesale masks at tombanwell.com/wholesale using the password 2468. Read more details on how to order there.
We offer many of our leather fashion masks as blanks, laser cut and shaped, but not painted, for 65% off of retail. These need to be painted and have the elastic band inserted and tied before they are ready to sell. We recommend airbrushing them using Angelus Brand acrylic leather paint. The masks can also have beads, sparkles, feathers, etc. attached for a more distinctive look.
For craft show vendors who are required to sell only work that they have made themselves, the unpainted masks could be an ideal product because they come as leather blanks to be decorated and customized by the vendor.
Most of our masks have a suggested retail price of $39, which is an excellent price point at street fairs as many potential customers have a couple of twenty dollar bills in their wallets, and those blanks are priced at just $13.65.
Although the photos show the masks painted, the prices are for the unpainted blanks.

Clearly Invisible
Racial Passing and the Color of Cultural Identity
By Marcia Alesan Dawkins
Subjects: All Cultural Studies, All Ethics , All History, All Rhetoric Studies, All Sociology
Everybody passes. Not just racial minorities. As Marcia Dawkins explains, passing has been occurring for millennia, since intercultural and interracial contact began. And with this profound new study, she explores its old limits and new possibilities: from women passing as men and able-bodied persons passing as disabled to black classics professors passing as Jewish and white supremacists passing as white.
Clearly Invisible journeys to sometimes uncomfortable but unfailingly enlightening places as Dawkins retells the contemporary expressions and historical experiences of individuals called passers. Along the way these passers become people—people whose stories sound familiar but take subtle turns to reveal racial and other tensions lurking beneath the surface, people who ultimately expose as much about our culture and society as they conceal about themselves.
Both an updated take on the history of passing and a practical account of passing's effects on the rhetoric of multiracial identities, Clearly Invisible traces passing's legal, political, and literary manifestations, questioning whether passing can be a form of empowerment (even while implying secrecy) and suggesting that passing could be one of the first expressions of multiracial identity in the U.S. as it seeks its own social standing.
Certain to be hailed as a pioneering work in the study of race and culture, Clearly Invisible offers powerful testimony to the fact that individual identities are never fully self-determined—and that race is far more a matter of sociology than of biology.

Introduction: Passing as Passé?
1. Passing as Persuasion
2. Passing as Power
3. Passing as Property
4. Passing as Principle
5. Passing as Pastime
6. Passing as Paradox
Conclusion: Passing as Progress?
"Clearly Invisible is destined to become a classic in the field and is crucial material for all people interested in race, multiracial identity, colorism, and passing. Dawkins' social analysis is astute, and she engages scholarly debates (the meaning of the Plessy decision) and current events (the newest iPad app) with depth and sophistication. After Clearly Invisible, readers will never see passing the same way again."
—Margaret Hunter, author of Race, Gender, and the Politics of Skin Tone
"A lively work that connects the politics of passing with the most pressing contemporary issues of identity."
—Michele Elam, author of Souls of Mixed Folk: Race, Politics, and Aesthetics in the New Millennium
"... passing is a kind of power, a challenge to forces of oppression."
—Rachel Stone, The Christian Century (February 6, 2013)
"[Dawkins'] practical account of [passing's] effects is explored in this deeply tangled, insightful offering."
—Upscale Magazine
"We are lucky to have rising public intellectual, Marcia Dawkins, bring critical conversations about the Mixed experience into broader scholarship. Her work confirms that an understanding of the Mixed experience is essential to understanding who we are as Americans."
—Heidi W. Durrow, author of The Girl Who Fell From the Sky

I love SF Signal's Mind Meld features, and they've just posted one that's particularly wonderful: "What Single-Author Short Fiction Collections Should Be in Every Fan's Library? (Part 1)". They limited everyone to only ten choices each, which of course is impossible, but it forces the minds melded to focus their perspective, and in the best cases to make lists that are something more than just a collection of books they happen to like. Note Jeff VanderMeer's list, for instance, which for me, though I actually find them all pretty agreeable, is the most interesting one there.
Speaking of Mr. VanderMeer and single-author collections, I just received an advance copy of his own new collection, The Third Bear. It's a really fascinating collection of stories about big hairy men. Oh wait, no, that's something else... Actually, it's a collection of linked stories that are basically a Goldilocks/Rambo mashup. Or no, that was another thing I was reading... I know I know I know -- it's stories about the difficulties faced by National Park Rangers during the Bush administration, and what happened when Werner Herzog went to a circus, and fantastic tales of lovely maidens saving hapless knights stuck in trees, and lots of stories about unicorns learning to live in peace and harmony with vampire meerkats, and a fine group of vignettes about the happy-go-lucky lives of capybaras, and--
I think I need to look at the book again...
Anyway, it's an essential collection because it's by Jeff VanderMeer and it's attractively designed, affordably priced, and will cure most of your weird medical conditions for the duration of the time you're reading it. Thus, if you want to live forever, never stop reading The Third Bear. And buy copies for everyone you love and insist they do the same.


text: Stakes High in Negotiations Over Competing Farm Bills November 4, 2013 09:03 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Boyce Thompson AgWeb Email Farmers have a big stake in attempts by congressional conferees to resolve major differences—some technical, some philosophical—over competing versions of a farm bill and produce a new law by yearend. Budget savings stemming from the farm bill, ranging from $17 to $51 billion, after the impact of sequestration, provide plenty of incentive for Congress to act on a farm bill this year. Rep. Collin Peterson (D-Minn.), the ranking member of the House Agriculture Committee, told AgriTalk radio last week that conferees hope to wrap up their negotiations by Thanksgiving, giving the chambers enough time to pass a bill before the end of the year. Click the play button below to hear the complete AgriTalk interview with Peterson: Click the play button below to listen to Pro Farmer analyst Jim Wiesemeyer's reaction to Peterson's remarks: But conferees clearly have their work cut out for them, given big differences in approaches to food stamps (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), insurance, conservation compliance, dairy subsidies, and red-meat labeling. The biggest obstacle, of course, will be in reconciling approaches to food stamp cuts. The Senate-passed bill would trim the program by $3.9 billion over 10 years. The House would cut the program by much more--$39 billion over 10 years. Heritage Action and other conservative groups, which played a big role in mobilizing opposition last month to bills that would increase the debt ceiling, have called for even bigger cuts. The Obama Administration's officially opposes cuts in SNAP, a position that it will undoubtedly use as a bargaining tool. Last week, a benefit increase in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act expired, reducing payments for a family of four by $36 per month. Investment analysts speculated that the reduction in purchasing power will hurt big retail chains, especially Walmart, which has been silent in lobbying over SNAP. About 14% of Americans are on food stamps. The House and Senate bills produce much smaller savings in agriculture provisions, largely through the elimination of direct payments to farmers. But they revise and rename existing counter-cyclical price and revenue support programs in different ways. The Senate bill continues current price-support policy by making payments based on 85% of "historical" plantings. The House bill takes a new approach, paying on 85% of "planted" acres, ostensibly to better-align payments with producer risk. Both bills in effect authorize farmer payments to cover "shallow losses" not covered by crop insurance. The Senate bill covers losses once a 12% revenue loss is realized. The House bill uses a 15% trigger. (To gain the support of rice and peanut farmers, who opposed the Senate's 2012 farm bill, the latest version increases target prices for those commodities.) In the Senate bill, farmers can select payment at either the county or farm level and also take advantage of price supports. The House bill only provides revenue protection at the county level, and the program is not available in conjunction with price supports. With direct payments gone, both bills increase spending levels for the $9 billion crop insurance program. The Senate-passed version, however, provides means testing. It reduces crop insurance premium subsidies (which averaged 62% in 2012, according to the Government Accounting Office) by 15% for producers with average adjusted gross income greater than $750,000. Another related issue is whether producers who receive federal farm insurance benefits should be required to comply with government conservation standards. The Senate bill contains such a provision, which is opposed by Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Okla.), chairman of the House Agriculture Committee. Both farm bills dairy subsidies with a new program that pays participating dairy producers when margins fall below $4 per hundredweight. The Senate bill also subjects participating producers to a separate program that reduces incentives to produce milk when margins are low. Because the new program has no eligibility constraints, its costs are expected to be up to 3 times higher than continuing 2008 farm bill dairy laws. The Senate program, according to the Food Policy Research Center, would reduce the cost of 2013 farm bill dairy programs by 5% to 30%, compared to standalone margin insurance. Anther sticking point is changes to the law requiring country-of-origin labeling for red meat. The World Trade Organization has ruled against implementation of the U.S. law that emanated from the last two farm bills. The Obama administration has re-written the rule and resubmitted it to the WTO. But it is opposed by the meat industry. Lucas, R-Okla., said during the conference meeting last week that he supports changes in country-of-origin labeling law. He wants to avoid the imposition of tariffs by Canada and Mexico.

Body language:
Sounding off with tattoos
Although he's never been really ashamed of what he does, Ronnie, of Ronnie's Tattoo Studio in Providence, admits that he told his kids to tell people he made signs.
"I told them to say I was a sign painter or that I drew pictures for signs," said Ronnie. "It [tattooing] wasn't quite as accepted back then. There was always something disreputable about it. It was sailors, and thugs and bikers who got tattoos."
As much as that image of the "illustrated man" has changed, there are still many Americans who feel that tattoos are a sign of some sort of social maladaption on the part of the wearer. Last spring, an assistant manager at a local Walgreen's was fired after he refused to cover the tattoos not obscured by his clothing with make-up. Most personnel managers still insist on a well-defined and consistent policy on "body art" and people still doubt if being "discriminated against for the color of your skin" applies when you are not born with the color your skin is. Nevertheless, an increasing amount of Americans in all walks of life are getting tattooed, in case you haven't noticed, and most of them are getting them applied to areas normally covered by conventional clothing, which is perhaps why you haven't noticed. That's an accommodation that is increasingly accepted, even in the military.
"Judges, lawyers and CEOs are getting tattoos," said Mark Jordan, of Irish Rose Tattoo in Cranston. "I've even done a Navy Chief who has tattoos under his uniform."
In an article at Allbusiness.com, "Tattoos in the Workplace: What's an Employer to Do?," the writer and human resources expert Barrie Gross wrote:
"Depending on what and where the tattoo is, there may or may not be an issue for employers. The laws still tend to support employer dress code/appearance policies in general and employers retain some flexibility in creating rules that require employees to present themselves in a way that is consistent with the employer's image. But that doesn't mean that banning tattoos altogether is appropriate…an interviewer who notices a tattoo on a man's arm may have no reaction…and the same interviewer may have an adverse reaction if a tattoo is visible on a female applicant's ankle. In this situation, an employer can be exposed to liability for sex discrimination if the presence of the tattoo was an issue in making the hiring decision…The key for employers is to have a written policy that employees are required to read and sign, and then to enforce that policy consistently. That way, employees are not able to claim that the policy was applied differently to them. And the policies should be based on sound judgment that is in the best interest of the business."
Ronnie's Tattoo Studio is well aware of the lingering prejudice against tattoos, especially with women.
"Sometimes I get a young woman, a pretty, intelligent, educated woman who asks me to do some kind of dragon or something on her neck," said Ronnie. "I try to talk them out of it. I mean, if you are going to work in a law office or some other place where that just isn't appropriate, I ask them if they really want to make that kind of commitment."
Which brings us to the subject of commitment. How many people are walking around with the names of all but forgotten sweethearts indelibly inscribed on their skin that have to be explained anew every time you meet a new sweetheart? Quite a few, apparently.
"I am constantly dealing with people who want me to cover up old names on their tattoos," said Jordan. "Often the same people several times."
Jordan has been doing tattoos for about 15 years and has been surprised at the growth of his own practice, which includes body piercing as well.
"It has probably quadrupled since I started doing it and it has mostly been females that are the new customers," he said.
Ronnie's Tattoo Studio has been on Eddy Street in Providence for around 53 years and he has seen the market for permanent marking go to levels he never dreamed of. In fact, his biggest concern is that the sort of apprenticeship that he and other tattooists have gone through will cease to exist.
"People can go online, buy the stencils, buy the needles and start doing tattoos out of their apartment," he said. "It hurts the guys that took the time, the years to learn the business."
Jordan has served his apprenticeship and believes that most of the really good tattoo artists have done the same.
"You start off by working in someone else's studio and, as you get better, the word gets out," he said. "It's actually kind of surprising that you actually become a celebrity yourself, with people recognizing you on the street and telling you they like your work."
Without actually stating exact figures, Jordan said a good tattoo artist may expect to bring in between $40,000 and $80,000 a year, depending on where and how much they work.
Just how much Americans are spending on tattoos is a hard figure to pin down but most economists now include it as a significant part of the $12 billion-plus that people spend on cosmetics and other "appearance-altering" activities like tanning and body-piercing. Anthropologists have made a study of tattooing as well.
Evidence from ancient Egypt, Greenland, Siberia, and New Zealand shows how global, and how old, the tattooer's art is. In fact, tattooing had existed for thousands of years before English sailors encountered it in the South Pacific in the 1700s and spread the art to Europe and America. Its meaning varies from culture to culture, but it often served as a sign of social status or rites of passing.
The Iceman, a mummified human body dating from about 3300 B.C. discovered in the Alps in 1991, has tattoo-like markings (58 of them). Tattoos found on Egyptian mummies date from about 2000 B.C., and classical authors mention tattoos among ancient Greeks, Germans, Gauls, Thracians and Britons.
It was rediscovered in Polynesia and on American Indians. The word tattoo comes from the Tahitian word tattau, "to mark." Because tattoos were considered so exotic in European and U.S. societies, tattooed Indians and Polynesians drew crowds at circuses and fairs during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Instruments possibly used for tattooing during the Upper Paleolithic - 10,000 B.C. to 38,000 B.C. - have been discovered in Europe.
Just after the Second World War, archeologists digging in the Altai Mountains in Siberia found a well-preserved chieftain with tattoos; the oldest known picture-tattoos.
In North and South America, many Indian tribes routinely tattooed the body or the face by simple pricking, and some tribes in California introduced color into scratches. In Polynesia and Micronesia, pigment was pricked into the skin by tapping on a tool shaped like a small rake. The Maori of New Zealand made shallow, colored designs on the face and buttocks by striking a small tool into the skin.
There is really no telling how long the current mania for tattoos will continue but the basic impulse to permanently mark your skin for personal, devotional or artistic reasons is permanently part of being human. Ronnie and Jordan agree that, if you do decide to get some body art; go to someone with a certificate from the local health department in a permanent studio; ask to see their portfolio; ask for references; talk with people who have used the artist and ask about how cooperative he or she is when it comes to complaints or do-overs.
"Just remember," said Ronnie, "you should go with someone who has experience and a track record. Always ask for the certificate and always ask around. People have reputations that are good or bad. If you are looking for heart surgery, why would you want to go to a foot doctor?"

The other main cause of root canals are Iatrogenic meaning dentist caused. Here are some examples:
a. Decay not completely removed
b. Placing mercury - silver fillings which continue to erode the sensitive internal structure protecting the tooth's nerve system (the root canal)
c. Using undue pressure or inadequate irrigation during a tooth preparation (usually for crowns and bridges). This overheats the tooth, literally cooking the nerves and blood vessels causing necrosis (death) to these structures within the tooth.

The RTC Interview Series: One on One With Tom Brennan, Part IPosted by rtmsf on June 29th, 2011
Rush The Court is back with another edition of One on One: An Interview Series, which we will bring you periodically throughout the year. If you have any specific interview requests or want us to interview you, shoot us an email at email@example.com.
You know him from his gregarious, affable demeanor as a studio host on ESPN as well as an on-air radio analyst for Sirius and Westwood One, but there's a lot more to former Vermont head coach and media personality Tom Brennan than a friendly quip and a quick smile. The personable transplanted Vermonter who has a Ben & Jerry's ice cream named after him coached the game for thirty-five years, taking him from Georgia to Fairleigh Dickinson, Villanova, Seton Hall and William & Mary as an assistant, before elevating to the top position at Yale, then the Universitas Viridis Montis (UVM). In talking to Brennan, you get a sense that he's not only a guy you'd want to play ball for, but the kind of person you'd also ask to be the best man in your wedding. He's got so many stories, anecdotes and ironic twists from a lifetime of achievement that we decided to break up the interview into two parts. In today's Part I, we'll track Brennan from his early days as a player in the segregated South to his crowning achievement as a three-time champion of the America East Conference at Vermont. Tomorrow we'll move into the broadcasting career he never thought he'd have, and talk about how likely it is that one of the neatest guys we've come across in this sport ever gets back onto the sidelines.
Ed. Note: Brennan uses some colorful language during this interview, so if you're sensitive to such things, you may want to skip past this one.
Rush the Court: Let's talk a little bit about your career arc. You're an east coast guy who grew up in New Jersey. How did you end up down in the South in Athens, Georgia, in the early 70s playing ball — what was that like?
Tom Brennan: Segregation. I can answer you in one word. Segregation. Seriously. I loved going to Georgia, I loved every minute of it. We had a coach [Ken Rosemond] from North Carolina who was on the '57 championship team, and he was an assistant — he and Dean Smith were Frank McGuire's two assistants. Dean Smith got the Carolina job, and my guy got the Georgia job, and he really felt much like McGuire, that he wanted to get players from the North. He felt the competition was better and that basketball was more important up this way. But really, I'm not naive, there's no way if it was ten years later that I think I would have been recruited to Georgia. I think I was a Division I player, I mean I played in the SEC, and I would have gone somewhere and I could have gone a lot of other places besides Georgia, but honestly as I look back on it now, had integration been in play, I probably would have gone somewhere in the East. I loved when I visited there. He saw me in some all-star game, and I happened to have a good game, and so I just went down to visit and I really liked it. He was going to get it going, and they had the same building [Stegeman Coliseum], honest to God, in 1967 that they have now. They still play in it; they've upgraded it. But back then it was like off the hook, it was like from Mars. We had a lot of northern guys, and I just loved going to school there, made a lot of great friends. Matter of fact, I just got off the phone with somebody I'm going to go spend some time in Maine with, who was our manager during my time there. You know, I was the oldest of seven kids and I kinda wanted to get away. I thought it would be like an adventure, and it kinda turned out to be that way. I just think, and I don't say it as a wise guy, I just think if it had been 1977 [rather than 1967], it would have been a lot different.
RTC: It's a beautiful campus — the Georgia campus — and I've been to the arena you're talking about. I'm just wondering, Vandy was one of the first schools in the SEC to integrate in the late 60s… were there any other schools at that point that were integrated or was it pretty much still all white?
TB: It was pretty much all white. Perry Wallace [the first black SEC basketball player] was it for Vandy, and he was a stud. He was a really good player, and I mean, you had to be a special guy to do it. I don't think there's any doubt about that. And then when I got there, the first African-American came to Georgia. His name was Ronnie Hogue, and it's a cute story because when I was a senior, he was a sophomore, and I was starting the first couple of games. And he replaced me and got 43! [laughter] [Don't tell Coach B, but Hogue actually scored 46 points!] And so I became a contributor! And you know what too is interesting, at that time, my brother who is now a PhD psychologist, was in Vietnam, and we had integrated at Georgia and we had the first African-American player, and I wasn't even in tune to anything. I'm thinking now as I look back on Vietnam, I should have written my brother a letter every day. Every single day. I just didn't even think about it. It was kind of the same way with Hogue. He was just a good guy, a really good guy, and being from New Jersey, I'm thinking, what is taking so long [with respect to integration]? How is this even an issue? When are these people gonna figure out that we all are created equal and if a guy's good enough to play, it shouldn't matter what he looks like or what his background is. I never really took it seriously. And then I read a book about all the athletes that were the first to integrate, and Ronnie had some interesting comments in there, and there were things that I didn't think about, but I wasn't black. I'm thinking, sh–, I never even thought about that, I never even thought to say to him, are you doing ok? I was just trying to beat the guy out! And he was a good kid, it wasn't like he was a pain in the ass at all. It wasn't real prejudice, but he was just a player, and I was a player, and we tried to treat him as well as we could. It was such a historic thing but I didn't know it. I didn't have any kind of frame of reference about that at all. It was neat being a part of that. I'm proud of being a part of the first integrated team at the University of Georgia. I'm not sure if they had a football guy yet — I think maybe they did. I'm not 100% sure about that, but I know Ronnie was the first black basketball player. [Georgia had five black football players enroll in the fall of 1971.] You know, we were boys and we hung out. The thing is that there was a big black community in Athens, and it wasn't socially mixed so much, but there was a lot of places he could go and there was a lot of people he could see, and he was really obviously a hero to all those people and I certainly understand that.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Two Ohio men who want their out-of-state marriage recognized as one of them nears death have gotten a ruling in their favor from a federal judge, who wrote that they deserve to be treated with dignity in a case that's seen as encouraging for same-sex marriage supporters in the state.
Federal Judge Timothy Black ordered Monday that the death certificate of ailing John Arthur show that he was married and that James Obergefell is his surviving spouse. The ruling means the pair can be buried next to each other in Arthur's family plot, located at a cemetery that only allows descendants and spouses.
Ohio does not recognize same-sex marriage.
Arthur and Obergefell, both 47, say they've been in love for more than 20 years, that Arthur is likely on the verge of dying from Lou Gehrig's disease, and that "they very much want the world to officially remember and record their union as a married couple," according to a lawsuit filed by the couple Friday against Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Attorney General Mike DeWine and a Cincinnati official responsible for filing death certificates.
Obergefell said Tuesday that he and Arthur's fight was about more than just a piece of paper.
"To have a federal judge say, 'You know what, John and Jim, your relationship exists and it's just as valid as any other married couple,'" Obergefell said. "It's an incredible feeling — that we do matter."
Though Black's order was specific to the couple's case, opponents of Ohio's ban on gay marriage were encouraged by it.
"This is one more step toward marriage equality in the state of Ohio," said the couple's attorney, Al Gerhardstein, who said he's gotten calls from other same-sex couples who married in other states and are exploring their options to have their marriage recognized in Ohio.
He said that Arthur and Obergefell were courageous to take on the legal fight, given Arthur's declining health.
"They're in the middle of every couple's worst nightmare," Gerhardstein said. "This is a very difficult time for them and to share this time with the world as they try to solve these problems — it's been a huge sacrifice for them and I admire them."
The couple, determined to marry before Arthur died, flew in a special jet with medical equipment to Maryland, which recognizes gay marriage. They wed July 11 inside the plane on an airport tarmac before returning to Cincinnati the same day, according to court records.
In his ruling, Black said that historically, Ohio law has recognized out-of-state marriages as valid as long as they were legal where they took place, pointing to marriages between cousins and involving minors.
"How then can Ohio, especially given the historical status of Ohio law, single out same-sex marriages as ones it will not recognize?" Black wrote. "The short answer is that Ohio cannot."
DeWine's spokesman, Dan Tierney, said in a statement that "this is a temporary ruling at a preliminary stage under sad circumstances."
He said DeWine's office will defend the right of Ohioans to define marriage and that the U.S. Supreme Court has recently emphasized that it is a definition that traditionally lies with states.
"Ohio's voters are entitled to the choice they have made on this fundamental issue," he said.
Kasich spokesman Robert Nichols said in a statement that the office doesn't comment on pending litigation, "other than to say that the governor believes that marriage is between a man and a woman."
Black wrote that the couple would experience irreparable harm without his timely ruling.
"The uncertainty around this issue during Mr. Arthur's final illness is the cause of extreme emotional hardship to the couple," Black wrote. "Dying with an incorrect death certificate that prohibits Mr. Arthur from being buried with dignity constitutes irreparable harm."

Morvélo spent some time with Jon from Chickens Frame Emporium:
"The best things in life are often simple. Riding a bike for example. Grabbing your wheels at the end of a day's work and heading out for a quick rip, the good old fashioned way. There are times to push your limits but more importantly there are times where all you need is that simple joy of just getting out there.
We had the pleasure of filming this with Jon from Chickens Frame Emporium. As well as making beautiful steel frames from his shipping container workshop, his own bike tells a hundred stories. The worn grips and ripped saddle show that this bike has seen more action than most. Using the first frame he ever made, it's still going strong. He's too busy making everyone else's dream bike to tend to his own but it still takes him on those all important blasts to clear his mind and focus on his next frame building project."
