Best Dental Office San Jose, CA 95133 – Find state-of-the-art or best Dental Office in California with no compromises.
There are many dental offices everywhere but quality and affordable dentist are often do not intersect. Cheap and best Quality? Let's find it out! Thanks to Luminous Smile Dental team who made a dental office with best patient experience ever. The decades-long experience of dentists assure a guaranteed results with zero compromises. It is imperative that Luminous Smile Dental can brag its accomplishments by reading reviews.
Best San JOse Dental Office
You are looking for dentist but where will you go? Who will you call? Who will you trust?
Alright, let us enumerate the qualities of a best dental office.
There are many factors to scrutinize and it is worth the time to figure it out because dental care should not be taken for granted as a matter of fact it must be URGENT whether you like it or not.
It is very self-explanatory that proximity matters in the long run. Whenever we need a dentist we don't want to waste our time traveling specially when in emergency. However, even if it is not emergency, nearness of the dental office really matters.
It is a no brainier that PRICE is one of the top qualities of a best dental office. Oh come on, who can say no to affordable price? dental promos, coupons, or any discount plans?
When you choose a dentist with few years of experience you need to be anxious and careful. Why? It is common sense!
Dental Office must be innovative by hook or by crook. Why? Innovation is an investment of any dental office and for the patient it is their benefits when they get treated in an innovative way
Believe it or not, dental insurance is a must have if you will think it optimistically. But why we should care about insurance if you have cash? That is the point. Time will come you will get constraints in budget or financially. It is not bad to foresee what will happen but it is a reality that nothing lasts forever even money.
If you need more information about insurance feel free to read the four reason why you must get it.
So what is its relevance to a dental office or even for the patient? Honestly, if you see a dentist that does not offer insurance stay away to it! Why? You are not secured in the long run and you are not even covered when the emergency comes! It is a warning!
Why you should look for these elements? Well it is obvious that you need LOVE, AFFECTION, CARE, and importantly a place that you are VALUED or PRIORITIZED. Isn't it? Come to think of it or imagine how does it feel being at home when you need dental care.
There has been a renaissance in how we take care of our dental health in the past number of years. Dental establishments meanwhile have not missed a step to follow suit.
Offices have taken it to consideration to revamp their clinics in a bid to revitalize not only their booming business in terms of services but also the overall ambience and facilities that add to the impeccable experience of going to your trusted dentist.
But if we're talking about quality here, then a line should be drawn as to what is the difference between a dental clinic and a dental office.
Here are some of the key points to ponder as to whether what to call your favorite dental clinic/office in the future.
It is often confusing which is the best and perfect term between dental office and dental clinic. Literally speaking, they are similar but technically they are not!
But does it matter which among of the two is the best? Yes absolutely!
Let us define each according to their features and functions.
What is Dental Clinic
It is literally a place wherein any dentist performs dental procedures and treatments prior to its expertise. It can be found in many establishments like government buildings, schools, malls, or any private places with equipment and tools.
Right off the bat, dental clinics are places where your dentist performs dental treatments and on patients. These dental clinics can be found in schools, universities, hospitals, government offices, and other health related establishments. These clinics usually consist of a single room, housing all dental tools and equipment. More often than not, free or low-cost treatments are performed here.
What is Dental Office
On the other hand, Dental Office is owned by a dental professional in a business establishment not only treating dental patients but also providing financial matters. Unlike Dental Clinic, it is complete with equipment, department, and manpower plus the expertise that is too high and premium.
Contrary to popular belief, dental clinics are actually inside of a dental office. More of that in a while.
A dental office is composed of a receptionist area, high-end computers, secured patient records, dental clinic, storage and much more areas.
What are those financial matters or concerns that make a dental office different o a clinic? Actually it is not all about financial matters. Take a look at the composition of a dental office.
Receptionist – Usually welcomes all patients or anyone who enter the clinic. They are well-equipped with gestures and hospitality especially for kids, seniors, or anyone.
One of the first things you should experience is the warmth of being received. The reception areas of dental clinics are like lounge areas with couches and entertainment options to keep the valued patients busy while waiting for their appointment. Usually, reception areas may have television or different forms of visual entertainment as well as some magazine racks for browsing. Also, to add the home-y feel to it all, some dental offices also have coffee makers or vending machines to provide refreshments for patients while there are some complimentary snacks if waiting time may reach long.
Hardware and Software – It includes computers, phones, and other essential tools and equipment that make operations painless and convenient for the dentists and the patients. Meanwhile, software is an application that organize all operations.
Of course you have to keep a tab of all the information on all of your patients. This has varying benefits but most importantly is the fact that you can use these as reference for future transactions and operations. Going manual on this task might be a huge hassle on anyone's part so moving to paperless is a leap from the usual. In reception areas, desk staff waits for patients and accesses these dental records. These records may be computerized or on paper, but most practitioners use computerized records to store their info nowadays.
Clinic – This is the literal place where dentist and patient meet. It includes the chair along with the tools to be used. It seems like a microcosm of the dental office.
Here's the not so exciting bit of it all, well, sort of, the clinic is actually just the small room where the dentist performs dental procedures or treatments on a patient. Dental clinics have several dental equipment that aid the dentist in performing specific tasks and getting these procedures done in a more effective manner. These include dental chairs, oral irrigators, lighting, handheld devices and tools, laser systems and suction machines to name a few.
Storage – This is the area where all keeps are being stored. It might be shelves, drawers, cabinets, or whatsoever
In some big dental offices where multiple dental practitioners can be found, several employees may be needed to work on filing and storage. At GSD or Luminous Smile Dental, we have numerous hardworking personnel to work on the rank and file norms of the business. So expect a well-organized and trusted office to assist you in your every dental need.
Others – there are still more to put in a dental office. This is actually the preference of a dental professional be it accessories, furniture, technology, ornaments, or whatever a dentist think of that will benefit the entire operation.
For your information, Luminous Smile Dental is a dental office in California. It means to say that we are not a mere clinic or room where patients are being treated.
You are in the perfect place as you visit our dental office. in terms of ambiance, innovative technology, manpower and much more!
As a whole – YOU WILL BE TREATED MORE THAN WHAT YOU EXPECT! Our HOLISTIC approach will guarantee you not only the best but a superior dental treatments or care plus financial assistance that you will never easily get in Ca.

KidzType.com offers an innovative, simple way to teach kids to touch type: using a "dance mat." The same way children learn to dance with "Just Dance" on their PC, they can learn to type with KidzType.
On the screen, they're shown a keyboard and hands. The keys and the proper finger to type with flash, showing them what to do. Just like a game, the combinations get harder until suddenly they're typing by touch and not even noticing it.
KidzType is free! There are twelve levels to progress through. The children are led by an Angel Educator that plays along, encouraging them.
The future is typewritten. Whether your child chooses to be a doctor, a lawyer, a computer programmer, or a carpenter, they need to know how to type well. Typing well means they can type by touch (without looking) and quickly.
Using KidzType, as soon as your children are old enough to type, you can get them started on "playing" to learn to type.
Part of a trend called "gamified learning," KidzType takes advantage of the fact that children have a natural play instinct. It's how they learn about their world. Gamifying typing makes it fun to do and learn while teaching them a skill they'll need for the rest of their lives.
KidzType was created by parents, educators, and programmers who recognize the need to give children every advantage. That's why they've made it free to learn. The team's commitment is to teaching children valuable skills as early as possible.
KidzType is certified Kid-Friendly.

There is limited medical infrastructure in war-torn Afghanistan, so severely wounded children are sometimes brought to the U.S. for medical care. Doctors in America say that for one little girl, her struggle to stay alive for three years until finding her way from central Afghanistan to a hospital in Los Angeles is nothing short of a miracle.
Her name is Arefa, and she's 6 years old. Like a lot of girls her age, she loves coloring, animals and ice cream. But this small girl in Hello Kitty shoes is from a nomadic tribe in Afghanistan, and for her entire life, she's known nothing but war.
When she was 3, her family's tent in Afghanistan was engulfed in flames from an IED. She was severely injured, suffering third-degree burns over much of her body and a life-threatening wound on the top of her head. Her family kept her alive for three years with very little medical attention.
"As the family moved from place to place, they often spoke of the wounds of the child, and this finally reached the ears of someone who told them Americans might help," Patsy Wilson of Solace for the Children writes in an email to NPR.
When U.S. troops saw the girl earlier this year, they got in touch with Solace for the Children, a group that has been working to bring wounded children of war to the U.S. for medical treatment.
"Some soldiers found her and said she was in a lot of pain still," says Jami Valentine, who along with her sister, Staci Freeman, have been Arefa's host family in Southern California since June.
Neither Arefa's mother, who was also injured in the blast, nor her father came with her to the U.S., as parents of children involved with the group do not make the trip with their kids.
Valentine says at first she didn't think she was up to the task. And then she saw Arefa's picture.
"Somehow her eyes connected with me even through the pictures. And it was this picture of sadness and strength all the same time, and I thought, 'How could I say no to this little girl?' " Valentine says.
She says that according to Arefa's doctor, it was just in time. "He has a very tender spot for her because he feels like she's unique, she's special, because medically she shouldn't be here," Valentine says.
When she arrived in the U.S., Arefa needed skin-graft surgery for the top of her head. The sisters recall the morning when she was able, for the first time, to touch her head and not feel pain.
"She laughed like this kind of joy laugh, and then she said, 'Thank you, doctors, and thank you, Staci and Jami,' " Freeman says.
Valentine says the girl is a continuing source of amazement. For instance, she marvels at the amount of English Arefa learned in just three months. "We were sitting in the car one day, and out the blue she goes, 'Come on, let's go!' " Valentine says. "It makes me laugh. It catches me off guard every time."
Healing takes many forms. Her host family says the night terrors have thankfully ceased, but they still closely monitor the television. One day early in her stay, a news story came on that showed soldiers with guns. "We couldn't turn the channel fast enough," Valentine says.
In her native Pashto and frantic pantomime, Arefa told them her story of what happened the day of the blast.
"Staci and I would sit, and we would listen, and we would just feel brokenhearted. We know she was unleashing everything she'd been through," Valentine says.
Arefa is scheduled to return to her family in Afghanistan soon.
"There's an element where we desperately want for her to be united with her family, because she talks about them, and I know she misses them. And then there's this real reality where I feel our space is going to get really quiet," Valentine says. "So somehow it all combines together, so I have no doubt it's going to be very sad."
Arefa will still need medical care. The fingers on her hands are disfigured, and scar tissue prevents her from being able to close her eyes when she sleeps. And she returns to an uncertain future in her war-torn homeland.
The women caring for Arefa see that the little girl — who only knew war and who was in pain for half of her life — is experiencing a childhood that she has fully embraced. While in California, she has grown to love swimming, the beach and her nearby playground.
"She walks though each day with joy," Valentine says.

Bullz-Eye Bikini Team hits 5 Star Island
The Bullz-Eye Bikini Team made a stop at the beautiful 5 Star Island in Miami Beach at a beautiful home for some fun in the sun and some amazing photos. Brittany Myers and Megan Kelley took a break from their own photo shoots to take some photos together overlooking Miami Harbor. "5 Star Island" is a fitting name for this 29,000 square feet palatial estate built in 1995 on two prime acres of Star Island, Miami Beach.
We were blown away by the beauty of 5 Star Island when we arrived. This exclusive property boasts unmatched views of Downtown Miami, Palm Island and Miami Harbor. 5 Star offers an unparalleled location and backdrop for private events, weddings, and productions and is also available for luxury short or long-term leasing.
We loved the eclectic yet sophisticated ambiance of the property, which features museum-quality antiques and sculptures. The pool is spectacular and the view is amazing. It's the ultimate location for a luxurious afternoon in the sun or an elegant party in the evening. We had a great time there and Thomas Kramer was an gracious host.

1 Solomon's Song of Songs.
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth– for your love is more delightful than wine.
3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you!
4 Take me away with you–let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. We rejoice and delight in you ; we will praise your love more than wine. How right they are to adore you!
5 Dark am I, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I have neglected.
7 Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock and where you rest your sheep at midday. Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your friends?
8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the sheep and graze your young goats by the tents of the shepherds.
9 I liken you, my darling, to a mare harnessed to one of the chariots of Pharaoh.
10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.
11 We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver.
12 While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
13 My lover is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts.
14 My lover is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi.
15 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves.
16 How handsome you are, my lover! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant.
17 The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are firs.

Apfel Sahne Torte - Apple Cream Cake - Foodie Friday
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...If you're here because you love to look, or you're here because you love to cook, I think this torte will delight you. I first had this confection as a child. Hannie made a version of Apple Cream Cake for Oktoberfest and again at Christmas for a vigil feast which was part of her holiday celebration. I still remember singing, "Ihr Kinderlein, Kommet, O kommet doch all!" while clustered around the piano in her front room on Christmas Eve. It's a lovely memory, triggered, strangely, by a recipe. That happens here a lot. Unlike Proust, I have many memories of things past. Oktoberfest, at least in Munich, ends on Sunday, so I thought this would be a great way to end the series of recipes we put together for the celebration. I must tell you that this is not a quick dessert. It's not hard to do, but there are several steps required to assemble it. The most time consuming is making applesauce to fill the layers of the torte. I can make this step instantly easier for you. If you don't want to make applesauce, buy a quart jar of the unsweetened variety and proceed with the recipe, adding sugar and flavorings, as though it were your own. Keep in mind that the torte is about apples, so get the best you can buy if you take that route. While I don't recommend it, you can also use whipped topping instead of whipped cream. You can also omit the rum if you must, but that would really be a shame. You'll want to make the torte a day before you plan to serve it, so the cake layers can begin to absorb the applesauce and cream. The layers are very thin. If you're adventurous or enjoy European, not too sweet, desserts you'll love this torte. Here's the recipe.
Apfel Sahne Torte - Apple Cream Cake ...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
Cake Layer
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
5 tablespoons cornstarch
2 large eggs,separated and at room temperature
2 tablespoons warm water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup dark rum (for brushing layers)
10-15 apples, peeled, cored, cut into chunks or 1 quart unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons rum or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Finely grated zest of 1 large lemon
2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup water
1 cup sliced almonds
3 tablespoon granulated sugar, divided use
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup milk
Cake Layer
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Fit a 9-inch circle of waxed or parchment paper into a greased and floured 9-inch springform pan. Grease and flour paper. Set aside.
2) Combine flour, baking powder and cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
3) In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks with water. Add 1/3 cup of sugar and the vanilla and beat with an electric mixer until frothy and lemon colored.
4) In a separate small bowl, beat egg whites with remaining sugar until stiff but not dry. Fold into yolk mixture. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture. Scrape into prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cake tester inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Transfer to a rack to cool.
5) If using fresh apples, place apple chunks into a 3-quart saucepan and cook until very soft. Mash. If using prepared applesauce, place into saucepan and warm. Add sugar, rum or vanilla extract and lemon zest. Cook until mixture mounds in a spoon.
6) Soften gelatin in cold water. Place into a pan of simmering water and stir to dissolve. Stir gelatin into applesauce. Set aside to cool. Applesauce will thicken quickly in refrigerator.
7) Combine almonds, 1 tablespoon sugar and butter in a nonstick frying pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until almonds turn a golden brown. Transfer to paper toweling to cool.
8) Soften gelatin in milk. Place in pan of simmering water and stir to dissolve. Cool.
9) Whip cream with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until it begins to thicken. Add gelatin and continue beating until soft peaks form.
10) Remove cake from pan; split horizontally into two layers. Brush each layer with 2 tablespoons rum. Transfer one layer to a cake plate. Mound applesauce on top of layer. Cover with remaining layer and pat down to evenly distribute applesauce.
11) Generously frost top and sides of cake with whipped cream. If desired reserve some cream for decorating top of cake.
12) Pat almonds around sides and sprinkle on top of cake. Refrigerate overnight before serving. Yield: 8 to 10 servings.

Being German and even after living in Germany, I have to admit I have never eaten this torte. But, then, I have eaten many and this one slipped by. It will definitely be on my to try list. Thanks for that. Loved the remembrance to shared. And while I think of it, are you familiar with a buckwheat torte? That is a favorite of mine that I ate in northern Germany and would love that recipe.

I would love to make this for our Thanksgiving dinner. But I will be making a huge feast for lots of people. Can I make this cake a couple of days ahead of time?
- October 4, 2009 at 12:20 PM
- Mary Bergfeld said...
Lynn, it can be made 1 or 2 days ahead of serving, but it will take a lot of space in the fridge and you may not have available at Thanksgiving time.
- October 4, 2009 at 12:43 PM
Thanks for the quick answer Mary. I am definitely making this beautiful cake for Thanksgiving. I have an extra small fridge just to use at the holidays so I should be fine. :)

Interesting that imap_headerinfo() does not allow a UID for the $msg_number field like all other fetching functions seem to allow.
If you want to use a UID to fetch the headers, use this two-step process:
* assumes $mbox is your stream, and $uid is set
* properly. Proper error checking is up to you.
$hText = imap_fetchbody($mbox, $uid, '0', FT_UID);
$headers = imap_rfc822_parse_headers($hText);
The result is the same as the output of imap_headerinfo(), but you get to use the UID.

After a spectacular weekend filled with friends, barbecues, hikes, wild blueberries and a lot of Michael Jackson, we've started the week on a positive note. The past few weeks were overshadowed with a lot of chaos and stress - to move or not to move - was the question of the month.
Things are beginning get sorted and we are re-finding our bearings again. It feels good to be moving on again.
It will take time for us to get over the experience for sure but, as I have often said, it's the gentle net our fiends have spread out below us that is catching our fall. And of course the kitchen always provides me with a hide-away whenever I need to get away from it all.
We often enjoy simple down-to earth meals during the week and my love for legumes always keeps me on the look-out for new recipes. A recipe that caught my eye was one from Jamie Oliver's - Cook with Jamie. Personally I find it a little treasure book full of interesting and delicious recipes, which are simple to make and are big in taste. This dish is no exception.
I made a a few tiny changes to the recipe. Butter beans have a sweet, buttery taste and are wonderfully tender. Not to be confused with lima beans, as lima beans are green and not as aromatic and tender as butter beans. Together with the delicate and subtle flavor of the leek this dish is just asking to be made in huge quantities.
Creamy Butter Beans and Leeks
Printable version of recipe here.
4 leeks, finely sliced
500g frozen or canned butter beans
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
small bunch of thyme, leaves picked
olive oil
200 – 250 ml vegetable stock
a handful of flat leaf parsley
1 tablespoon crème fraîche
Salt and pepper
- In a large skillet heat olive oil and butter, then sauté the leeks together with thyme and garlic on low heat until soft and sweet – approx. 15-20 minutes.
- Turn up the heat and add the vegetable stock. Bring to a rolling boil, then add the beans. Make sure that the beans are just covered in the liquid.
- Allow to simmer for approx 8-10 minutes until the beans are soft and creamy. Then add parsley, crème fraîche and a good drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste.
These beans and leeks go with just about anything. Fish lovers will find it perfect to trout, wild salmon or tilapia. Delicately baked chicken is with just a simple seasoning of lemon juice, salt and pepper is a wonderful accompaniment. Or as Jamie serves the beans and leeks with steaks.
Buttery, creamy and delicately exquisite. A rustic yet very chic dish to complement your main dish. We had it with lightly herb marinated lamb filets – a fantastic, quick and very satisfying meal. There is something lavishly soothing about rustic dishes like this – and always a hit in our family.
This month My Legume Love Affair is being hosted over at Annarasa. It's the perfect event for all legumes lovers, created by the talented Susan over at The Well Seasoned Cook. My buttery creamy butter beans and leeks are going over their way.
Monthly Mingle Reminder
It's time for a fiesta and everyone is invited. My gracious guest hostess is the absolutely wonderful Jenny from All Things Edible and I love the theme she picked for this month. Jenny wants us all to come party with her in her Mexican Fiesta.
Deadline is July 13th, so come on over and fiesta with us!

Just one more time, in the simplest terms possible:
An Interface is like a protocol. It doesn't designate the behavior of the object; it designates how your code tells that object to act. An interface would be like the English Language: defining an interface defines how your code communicates with any object implementing that interface.
An interface is always an agreement or a promise. When a class says "I implement interface Y", it is saying "I promise to have the same public methods that any object with interface Y has".
On the other hand, an Abstract Class is like a partially built class. It is much like a document with blanks to fill in. It might be using English, but that isn't as important as the fact that some of the document is already written.
An abstract class is the foundation for another object. When a class says "I extend abstract class Y", it is saying "I use some methods or properties already defined in this other class named Y".
So, consider the following PHP:
class X implements Y { } // this is saying that "X" agrees to speak language "Y" with your code.
class X extends Y { } // this is saying that "X" is going to complete the partial class "Y".
You would have your class implement a particular interface if you were distributing a class to be used by other people. The interface is an agreement to have a specific set of public methods for your class.
You would have your class extend an abstract class if you (or someone else) wrote a class that already had some methods written that you want to use in your new class.
These concepts, while easy to confuse, are specifically different and distinct. For all intents and purposes, if you're the only user of any of your classes, you don't need to implement interfaces.

This is MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm Steve Inskeep.
She doesn't plan to be the nation's top diplomat for much longer, but Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues drawing attention wherever she goes. Over the weekend, she sat with the newly elected president of Egypt. Today, she is in Jerusalem, meeting mostly with Israeli leaders, though a talk with the Palestinian prime minister is included. U.S. relations with Israel this year focused less on the Palestinian situation and more on the chances of war against Iran.
NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro is covering the story from Israel.
Hi, Lourdes.
LOURDES GARCIA-NAVARRO, BYLINE: Hi.
INSKEEP: OK. Given that Hillary Clinton is mainly meeting Israelis, is Iran actually the main subject, here?
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Yeah. A flurry of meetings with Israeli officials, the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Israeli president Shimon Peres. The secretary hasn't been here for two years. So this visit is getting a lot of scrutiny, and there's a lot of talk about a number of issues. And as you mentioned, Iran is really top of the agenda.
The talks with Iran on suspect nuclear programs have not been going well with the international community, and Israel's pushing for tougher sanctions, more action. They've always seen these negotiations with Iran as a waste of time. We've seen a number of visits in recent weeks of U.S. officials - most recently, National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, and Secretary Clinton is being accompanied today by the top U.S. negotiator at the talks with Iran, Wendy Sherman. Again, a lot of speculation here about what Israel may be planning, whether or not it will launch a military strike on Iran's nuclear facility. So, certainly, that is going to be top of the agenda.
INSKEEP: Although, of course, both sides seem to have made it clear where they stand. What can they be telling each other at this point?
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Well, you know, that's anyone's good guess, obviously. You know, Secretary Clinton has a lot on her plate, here. It's not only Iran that she'll be discussing, but she's just come from a very important visit to Egypt, where she met with the military and the newly-elected Egyptian president. There's a lot of concern here about the status of the relationship between those two countries, especially because we've seen a lot of trouble in the Sinai desert of Egypt, which abuts Israel to the south. A number of attacks have been launched from there, and it's become increasingly lawless.
U.S. officials traveling with the secretary say she will be reassuring Israel that the message she got from Egyptian leaders is that the peace treaty with Israel will remain intact, and so she'll be discussing that and also, of course, Syria.
INSKEEP: And I guess it's worth dwelling on that for a moment, because Israelis have been so anxious about the change of government in Egypt. Are they feeling any calmer, as time goes on, that the basic relationship between Israel and Egypt will remain the same, even if maybe the politics will be a little tougher?
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Well, it's certainly what Israeli officials have been saying. They say that they don't see in the near term future a change in that relationship. But Egypt is in flux. We really don't know what's happening in Egypt. We really don't know what the power struggle between the Egyptian president and the Egyptian military, how that will play out. And so Israel, of course, is watching that very, very closely. In the short term, they really are concerned, though, about security a long their southern border. There is a lot of concern about that, and they really want to have those close ties with Egypt in order to protect themselves fundamentally.
INSKEEP: We're getting a sense here of the complexity of the Israeli situation. We've talked about Iran. We've talked about changes in Israel's neighbor, Egypt. Is there any energy left at all to deal with the Palestinian situation, Lourdes?
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Well, the secretary is only having one meeting with the Palestinians and not with the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The official version given by the Palestinians is that this is no big deal. The secretary met with Palestinian President Abbas earlier this month in Paris, so there's no need. And she is meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad in Jerusalem today.
But, as you know, here in the Middle East, symbolism often matters as much as substance. And the fact that this is the highest level U.S. administration official to visit Israel and the Palestinian territories in two years - and she's not visiting Ramallah, not seeing the Palestinian president - well, it's being viewed in the West Bank as a deliberate snub. And so that isn't going down terribly well. And it's also, I think, points to something that we are seeing here, which is that, you know, the Israeli-Palestinian peace process is not on the agenda. It's in a deep freeze.
INSKEEP: NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro in Israel. Thanks very much.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: You're welcome. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

New York State Sen. Malcolm Smith, a Democrat, was led from his Queens home in handcuffs Tuesday morning after being arrested for allegedly trying to buy his way on to the Republican ticket in this year's New York City mayoral election.
Also arrested Tuesday: City Councilman Daniel Halloran, a Republican, and four other local politicians (also Republicans) from the New York metropolitan area, who stand accused of conspiring with Smith.
The New York Times writes that:
"Mr. Smith, according to the complaint, agreed with a cooperating witness and an undercover F.B.I. agent, who was masquerading as a wealthy real estate developer, to pay off leaders of Republican county committees in New York's five boroughs. The bribes were to be paid to obtain specific certificates authorizing him to run for mayor as a Republican even though he was a registered Democrat."
NPR's Joel Rose tells our Newscast Desk that "in a statement, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara says Smith 'drew up the game plan,' while Halloran — the city councilman — 'quarterbacked' the effort to find party chairmen in the state who were open to receiving bribes."
According to New York's Daily News, Halloran was to allegedly receive $20,500 in exchange for supporting Smith's bid for the GOP nomination, while two other officials were to allegedly receive "$40,000 in bribes with a promise of $40,000 more."
The state senator's lawyer, Gerald Shargel, tells the Times that Smith "is a dedicated and highly respected public servant and he steadfastly denies these charges."
The 56-year-old Smith, according to his official biography, first won election to the state senate in 2000. He was the state senate's president pro tempore when Democrats controlled the chamber in 2008-10. In recent years, though, he has often been at odds with his fellow Democrats.
Current Mayor Michael Bloomberg (I) is prevented from seeking a fourth term. City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is thought to be the leading contender for the Democratic nomination. The Republican frontrunner, according to the Daily News, is Joe Lhota. He was a deputy mayor during the administration of Republican Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

MQW didn't want to get with the program from day one of spring ball. Disgruntled and demoted he choose to walk away from a conditioning drill and the team. Facts all.
The lash out letter is sent to the media 2 hours before the game against UCLA . Why? Damage control. Stepdad has MQW at home and Sdad knows Leach will not back down and let the kid back on the team. What to do? Sdad smears Leach and staff. All facts.
I will accept the findings of the investagation believing for now the claims are much to do about nothing.

Sacred Reich "Awakening"
Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments. "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little too comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears. A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years. 2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co. A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.
Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean. Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto. 'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough. The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper. Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.
There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover). I don't like Phil's vocals. I never had if I am being honest. The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'. When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch. Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear. For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.
Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening". It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears. Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough. Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

keyboard -- pc keyboard interface
The PC keyboard is used as the console character input device. The keyboard is owned by the current virtual console. To switch between the virtual consoles use the sequence ALT+Fn, which means hold down ALT and press one of the function keys. The virtual console with the same number as the function key is then selected as the current virtual console and given exclusive use of the keyboard and display. The console allows entering values that are not physically present on the keyboard via a special keysequence. To use this facility press and hold down ALT, then enter a decimal number from 0-255 via the numerical keypad, then release ALT. The entered value is then used as the ASCII value for one character. This way it is possible to enter any ASCII value, not present on the keyboard. The console driver also includes a history function. It is activated by pressing the scroll-lock key. This holds the display, and enables the cursor arrows for scrolling up and down through the last scrolled out lines. The keyboard is configurable to suit the individual user and the different national layout. The keys on the keyboard can have any of the following functions: Normal key Enter the ASCII value associated with the key. Function key Enter a string of ASCII values. Switch Key Switch virtual console. Modifier Key Change the meaning of another key. The keyboard is seen as a number of keys numbered from 1 to n. This number is often referred to as the "scancode" for a given key. The number of the key is transmitted as an 8 bit char with bit 7 as 0 when a key is pressed, and the number with bit 7 as 1 when released. This makes it possible to make the mapping of the keys fully configurable. The meaning of every key is programmable via the PIO_KEYMAP ioctl call, that takes a structure keymap_t as argument. The layout of this structure is as follows: struct keymap { u_short n_keys; struct key_t { u_char map[NUM_STATES]; u_char spcl; u_char flgs; } key[NUM_KEYS]; }; The field n_keys tells the system how many keydefinitions (scancodes) follows. Each scancode is then specified in the key_t substructure. Each scancode can be translated to any of 8 different values, depending on the shift, control, and alt state. These eight possibilities are represented by the map array, as shown below: alt scan cntrl alt alt cntrl code base shift cntrl shift alt shift cntrl shift map[n] 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ---- ------------------------------------------------------ 0x1E 'a' 'A' 0x01 0x01 'a' 'A' 0x01 0x01 This is the default mapping for the key labelled 'A' which normally has scancode 0x1E. The eight states are as shown, giving the 'A' key its normal behavior. The spcl field is used to give the key "special" treatment, and is interpreted as follows. Each bit corresponds to one of the states above. If the bit is 0 the key emits the number defined in the corresponding map[] entry. If the bit is 1 the key is "special". This means it does not emit anything; instead it changes the "state". That means it is a shift, control, alt, lock, switch-screen, function-key or no-op key. The bitmap is backwards ie. 7 for base, 6 for shift etc. The flgs field defines if the key should react on caps-lock (1), num-lock (2), both (3) or ignore both (0). The kbdcontrol(1) utility is used to load such a description into/outof the kernel at runtime. This makes it possible to change the key assignments at runtime, or more important to get (GIO_KEYMAP ioctl) the exact key meanings from the kernel (fx. used by the X server). The function keys can be programmed using the SETFKEY ioctl call. This ioctl takes an argument of the type fkeyarg_t: struct fkeyarg { u_short keynum; char keydef[MAXFK]; char flen; }; The field keynum defines which function key that is programmed. The array keydef should contain the new string to be used (MAXFK long), and the length should be entered in flen. The GETFKEY ioctl call works in a similar manner, except it returns the current setting of keynum. The function keys are numbered like this: F1-F12 key 1 - 12 Shift F1-F12 key 13 - 24 Ctrl F1-F12 key 25 - 36 Ctrl+shift F1-F12 key 37 - 48 Home key 49 Up arrow key 50 Page Up key 51 (keypad) - key 52 Left arrow key 53 (keypad) 5 key 54 Right arrow key 55 (keypad) + key 56 End key 57 Down arrow key 58 Page down key 59 Insert key 60 Delete key 61 Right window key 62 Left window key 63 Menu key 64 The kbdcontrol(1) utility also allows changing these values at runtime.

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, my blogger buddy MARY of Popsicles and Sandy Feet picked Chockablock Cookies on page 86 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.
My blogger friend Mary is awesome! Mary wrote to me back in September 2008 about an upcoming trip to Los Angeles. I gave her some food recommendations, and we have exchanged DVR shows. Mary and I are friends who never met in person but share a cool name and a love for Mad Men (see our Mad Men salute here and here). Mary stalks, I mean, has met Dorie Greenspan on numerous occasions in Connecticut. How lucky is she?
This was my experience with these cookies:
1. I used pecans, walnuts, dried apricots, dried cranberries, raisins, chocolate chips.
2. Of course, I skipped the coconut strands. Yuck.
3. Oh, molasses. I love molasses.
4. Easy to mix together.
5. Scoop, drop, bake.
6. I got over 50 cookies using a medium cookie scoop (12 on a ½ sheet pan). (continued...)
7. I'll just have one. You know, to make sure they are okay to give out at the library.
8. Well, this one is a little darker than the others (different batch). I'll try that one too. Just to make sure it is okay. I'm thoughtful that way.
9. Antioxidants in nuts are so important for good health. These cookies have nuts? I'm there. Just one more. (continued...)
10. Oatmeal has fiber. Everyone needs fiber. I'll have some via this cookie.
11. I'm bringing in the cookies the day after I made them. They sat for about 20 hours. I need to have one to see if they still soft and delicious, and suitable for my co-workers. Again, always putting them first.
12. I wonder how these would taste with soy milk? Hum, I'll just have a nibble.
13. I spent the day checking in on the batch of cookies in the break room...and helping them disappear.
So, 15 cookies later, I can say that I LOVED them!
Thanks my friend Mary for a great pick!
Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers!

CAIRO – Fury over an anti-Islam film spread across the Muslim world Friday, with deadly clashes near Western embassies in Tunisia and Sudan, an American fast-food restaurant set ablaze in Lebanon, and international peacekeepers attacked in the Sinai despite an appeal for calm from Egypt's Islamist president.
At least four people — all protesters — were killed and dozens were wounded in the demonstrations in more than 20 countries from the Middle East to Southeast Asia. Most were peaceful but they turned violent in several nations, presenting challenges for the leaders who came to power in the Arab Spring.
Security forces worked to rein in the anti-American crowds but appeared to struggle in doing so. Police in Cairo prevented stone-throwing protesters from getting near the U.S. Embassy, firing tear gas and deploying armored vehicles in a fourth day of clashes in the Egyptian capital. One person died there after being shot by rubber bullets.
The State Department said U.S. Embassy personnel were reported to be safe in Tunisia, Sudan and Yemen — sites of Friday's violent demonstrations.
President Barack Obama said Washington would "stand fast" against attacks on U.S. embassies around the world. He spoke at a somber ceremony paying tribute to four Americans — including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens — killed earlier this week when the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was stormed by militants who may have used protests of the anti-Muslim film to stage an assault on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
An elite Marine rapid response team arrived in Yemen's capital of Saana, where local security forces shot live rounds in the air and fired tear gas at a crowd of an estimated 2,000 protesters who were kept about a block away from the U.S. Embassy, which protesters broke into the day before.
In east Jerusalem, Israeli police stopped a crowd of about 400 Palestinians from marching on the U.S. Consulate to protest the film. Demonstrators threw bottles and stones at police, who responded by firing stun grenades. Four protesters were arrested.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton had tried to pre-empt the violence a day earlier by saying the rage and violence aimed at American diplomatic missions was prompted by "an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with."
Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi went on national TV and appealed to Muslims not to attack embassies. It was his first public move to restrain protesters after days of near silence and appeared aimed at easing tensions with the United States.
The United Nations Security Council released a press statement late Friday condemning "in the strongest terms" the violence, saying "the very nature of diplomatic premises is peaceful and ... diplomats have among their core functions the promotion of better understanding across countries and cultures."
But the demonstrators came out after weekly Friday prayers. Many clerics in their mosque sermons urged congregations to defend their faith, denouncing the obscure movie "Innocence of Muslims" that was produced in the United States that denigrated the Prophet Muhammad.
In addition to countries where protests have occurred, U.S. embassies around the world, including in France and Austria, issued alerts Friday advising Americans to review their personal security measures and warning them that demonstrations may occur and may turn violent. Other embassies issuing alerts included Mauritania and India. More than 50 U.S. embassies and consulates had released similar alerts Thursday.
Several thousand people battled with Tunisian security forces outside the U.S. Embassy in Tunis. Protesters rained stones on police firing tear gas and shooting into the air. Some protesters scaled the embassy wall and stood on top of it, planting the Islamist flag that has become a symbol of the wave of protests: A black banner with the Islamic profession of faith, "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet."
Police chased them off the wall and took the flag down. Two protesters were killed and 29 people were wounded, including police.
Protesters also set fire to the American School adjacent to the embassy compound and prevented firefighters from approaching it. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the school in Tunis was badly damaged and is now "unusable."
The heaviest violence came in Khartoum, Sudan, where a prominent sheik on state radio urged protesters to march on the German Embassy to protest alleged anti-Muslim graffiti on mosques in Berlin and then to the U.S. Embassy to protest the film.
"America has long been an enemy to Islam and to Sudan," Sheik Mohammed Jizouly said.
On Friday night, a U.S. official said an elite Marine rapid response team was headed to Sudan. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the deployment was not made public.
Soon after, several hundred Sudanese stormed into the German Embassy, setting part of a building aflame along with trash bins and a car. Protesters celebrated around the burning barrels as black smoke billowed into the sky until police firing tear gas drove them out of the compound. Some then began to demonstrate outside the neighboring British Embassy.
Several thousand then moved via a convoy of buses to the U.S. Embassy on Khartoum's outskirts. They clashed with Sudanese police, who fired on some who tried to scale the compound's wall.
The police then dispersed the crowd with tear gas, starting a stampede. Witnesses reported seeing three protesters motionless on the ground, although there was no immediate word whether they were dead or alive.
Islamic militants waving black banners and shouting "God is great!" stormed an international peacekeepers' base in Egypt's Sinai and battled troops, wounding four Colombians, said a senior official with the multinational force. The base near the border with Gaza and Israel houses some 1,500 members of the force, including U.S. troops.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press, said it appeared the attack was connected to the wider protests in the region.
One protester was killed in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli in clashes with security forces after a crowd set fire to a KFC and a Hardee's restaurant. Protesters hurled stones and glass at police in a furious melee that left 25 people injured, 18 of them police.
In his bid to head off the violence, Egypt's Morsi said "it is required by our religion to protect our guests and their homes and places of work."
He called the killing of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens in Libya unacceptable in Islam. "To God, attacking a person is bigger than an attack on the Kaaba," he said, referring to Islam's holiest site in Mecca.
Morsi's speech came after Obama spoke with him by telephone. The Obama administration has been angered by Morsi's slow response to the attack Tuesday night on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, and the Egyptian made little more than vague statements about it for days without an outright condemnation of the security breach, in which police did nothing to stop protesters from climbing the embassy walls.
His silence reflected the heavy pressure that Morsi, a longtime figure from the Muslim Brotherhood, faces from Egypt's powerful ultraconservative Islamists. They are using the film issue to boost their own political prominence while challenging Morsi's religious credentials.
Leaders of Egypt's Jihad group, a former militant organization, held a conference in the Egyptian city of Alexandria and said anyone involved in "defamation" of the prophet should be killed. They called on Morsi to cut relations with U.S.
Several hundred people, mainly ultraconservatives, protested in Cairo's Tahrir Square and tore up an American flag. A firebrand ultraconservative Salafi cleric criticized the film in his sermon, saying Muslims must defend Islam and its prophet.
"With our soul, our blood, we will avenge you, our prophet," they chanted as police fired volleys of tear gas.
Soldiers opened fire to drive away young Muslims in the central Nigerian city of Jos, witnesses and authorities said, and demonstrators in the county's Muslim north burned a U.S. flag.
Hundreds of hard-line Muslims held peaceful protests against the film throughout Pakistan, shouting slogans and carrying banners criticizing the U.S. and those involved in the film. Police in Islamabad set up barricades and razor wire to prevent protesters from getting to the diplomatic enclave, where the U.S. Embassy and many other foreign missions are located.
About 1,500 protesters in Afghanistan's eastern city of Jalalabad shouted "Death to America" and urged President Hamid Karzai to cut relations with the U.S.

Manual Process: Manual diagnostics process of the system through display codes, blinking codes…
Fault code reading: Allows to read the ECU failure memory by providing the user information about the fault codes detected in it. This function allows the user to carry out the clearance of the fault code memory; logically if the fault code is active, it will be detected again by the ECU and it will be displayed in the following fault code reading.
Measure Values: Displays on the screen the values of the different sensors connected to the ECU. It depends on each system.
Components Actuation: They are the direct tests that can be done with the system components. For example, actuate an ABS modulator, activate the suspension solenoid valves in order to raise or low the vehicle chassis... They are active diagnosis, which, for example, enable tests for engines to calibrate their state, like the cylinders balance, cylinders cut-out or compression. Depends on each system.
ECU Data: These are the technical data of the ECU, serial number, software version, manufacturer's reference, etc. It depends on each system.
Parameters: Some ECU can operate with different configurations. With this option you can copy configurations and parameters to the control unit, so control units can be programmed in its first installation. For certain systems even the modification of some parameters not affecting the vehicles security is allowed.
Calibration: Some systems ask to calibrate some components for its correct operation. The best example are the electronic suspensions, in which there must be stored the reference values so the ECU can make function correctly.
Reset: This point refers to the reset of the control unit maintenance counters. If the maintenance operations are completed but the maintenance alarm is not cancelled, the warning message referring to maintenance will keep on. It has nothing to do with the clearing of the error codes from the memory, which is part of the diagnosis.
System Technical Data: Technical information of the system indicating the checking values, descriptions, graphics, charts…
Wiring diagram: Detailed diagram of the system containing added information on configuration, components, locations and notes which make the diagnostics tasks easier.
Vehicle Technical Data: Technical information of vehicles including all the engine technical data, tightening torques, capacities, graphics and other checking values…
Vehicle maintenance: Section in which the maintenance intervals are displayed, indicating the operations to be performed on the vehicle, and through which the reports that make the customers management easier for the workshop can be obtained.
SMART Guides: Jaltest offers the key to increase efficiency in repair processes. The SMART guides take the user directly to the correct step, according to the vehicle conditions, fault codes and registered parameters. Say good-bye to unnecessary actions!
Model wiring diagrams: Wiring diagrams by model show the relation between all the electrical components of a vehicle. They complement the technical information of the wiring diagrams included in the licence and provide detailed specifications about the interconnection of electrical elements, connections to other control units and intermediate connectors.
