Indian prof is MIT dean of engineering
Currently the Ford Professor of Engineering in the Dept of Materials Science and Engineering, Subra Suresh will take over from July 23.india Updated: Jun 16, 2007 14:26 IST
Subra Suresh, an IIT Chennai alumnus, has been appointed dean of the prestigious engineering school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Currently the Ford Professor of Engineering in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Suresh will succeed Institute Professor Thomas Magnanti as the next dean of the School of Engineering July 23.
An MIT announcement Thursday noted that its School of Engineering has "long held a unique national and international position of pre-eminence in both education and research".
"I am certain that in his new role as dean, Professor Suresh will continue the tradition of outstanding school leadership embodied by Institute Professor Thomas L Magnanti, dean since 1999, and his distinguished predecessors," said Provost L Rafael Reif.
Suresh, who served as head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE) from 2000 to 2006, "is not only an accomplished academic leader, but also a scholar and teacher of the highest distinction," Reif said.
Suresh holds faculty appointments in DMSE, mechanical engineering, biological engineering and the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST). He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering.
"I am grateful for the privilege to serve as the dean of this premier school of engineering, and very much look forward to working with the highly talented MIT faculty, staff and students to take the school to new heights," Suresh said.
Suresh is a strong proponent of innovative international collaborations in teaching and research. He was the founding chair of the Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA) Programme on Advanced Materials. The professor is also the founding director of the Global Enterprise for Micromechanics and Molecular Medicine (GEM4), which brings together 14 participating institutions from the US and a number of foreign countries, the MIT announcement said.
Suresh's own current research focuses on experimental and computational studies of the mechanical responses of single biological cells and molecules and their implications for human health and diseases. His prior and ongoing work has also led to seminal contributions in the area of nano- and micro-scale mechanical properties of engineered materials, it said.
His many awards and honours include election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and academies of engineering and/or science based in Germany, India, Italy and Spain.
Last year, he received the Acta Materialia Gold Medal for "pioneering research" into the mechanical properties of materials and was selected by MIT's Technology Review magazine for its TR10 list as one of the 10 scientists whose research will have "a significant impact on business, medicine or culture" in the years ahead.
Suresh is the recipient of the 2007 European Materials Medal from the Federation of European Materials Societies. He is the first scientist based outside Europe to receive the award.
A 1977 graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Madras (now Chennai), Suresh received a master's from Iowa State University in 1979 before pursuing doctoral studies at MIT, where he received the Sc.D. in 1981.
After two years of postdoctoral research at the University of California at Berkeley, he joined the faculty at Brown University, where he rose to the rank of professor of engineering in 1989 before returning to MIT in 1993 as the RP Simmons Professor.
MIT counts more than 60 Nobel Laureates among its alumni and faculty. Well-known Indian alumni at MIT include Har Gobind Khorana, who shared Nobel Prize for Medicine/Physiology in 1968, Amar Bose, who founded Bose Corporation, Suhas Patil, who founded the company Cirrus Logic, the late Brahm Prakash of IISc and Dara Antia, who founded the Indian Institute of Metals.

Dear Taxpayer, Big Brother is Taking Action
We highlighted several examples of letters sent by the Tax Office to dearest taxpayers in our previous installment of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Tax Amnesty1 . The unprecedented level of scrutiny by the Tax Office indicates serious commitment to tax reform to increase the country's tax revenue. Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati emphasized the importance of designing a robust, credible and accountable institution supported by Big Data, Geotagging, and Information Technology Analytics. With grand ambitions of reaching a tax base of 15% of Indonesia's GDP, the Government is taking serious action.
How many such letters to taxpayers did the Government send?
The Directorate-General of Taxation (DJP) announced in major newspapers in December 2016 that over 204,125 "love letters" were sent to appeal for greater participation in Tax Amnesty2 . More letters will be sent based on analysis of government and third party databases showing assets above IDR 25 million (approx. USD 1,800) including motor vehicles, shares, buildings and land. Given the relatively low value of assets being targeted, the Tax Amnesty appeals program is broad-based and overarching.
Where did the Government get these data on taxpayers assets from?
The DJP has access to asset lists of taxpayers who have not participated and those under-reporting in Tax Amnesty. These data were queried from existing tax and other government databases. In the next few months, Tax Amnesty Priority Targets will be identified by asset tracing, searching the following databases to classify Prominent, Non-Prominent, and Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) taxpayers:
• Orbis: Database of private companies worldwide including their financials and ownership and governance structures3
• Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA): Government of Singapore's database of private companies4
• Ministry of Law and Human Rights database of companies
• Bank of Indonesia list of debtors, credit cards and transactions
• Building Permit (IMB) owners
• Motor vehicle, yacht and cruise ship ownership databases (BPKB)
• Taxpayers' data e.g. photographs combined with geotagging of High Net Worth Individuals and businesses, from which the DJP has identified 1 million additional taxpayers5
• Small Business Loans (KUR) recipients with potential of reaching up to 3.3 million taxpayers6
• Online merchants touting their goods on Facebook, Instagram and Kaskus, estimated to yield IDR 15.6 trillion (approx. USD 1.6 billion) in tax revenues7
• Professionals such as doctors, lawyers, accountants, tax consultants and Directors and Commissioners of listed companies8
• Export and import data at Directorate-General of Customs & Excise
What are the consequences for non-participation or under-reporting in Tax Amnesty?
Under Article 18 Law No. 11 of 2016 on Tax Amnesty, taxpayers who do not participate or under-report in Tax Amnesty and are found with unreported assets between 1985 – 2015, will be subject to progressive income tax pursuant to Article 21 (PPh 21) plus a penalty. The penalty for non-participation is 2% per month for up to 2 years or 48% of the tax due. For those who under-report, the penalty is 200% of the tax due.
With the ongoing tax reform, tax evaders have been imprisoned. An example was made of a property boss in Central Java being put in Nusakambangan Penitentiary for owing IDR 839 million (approx. USD 63,000) in taxes due. A list of 4,000 foreign investment companies (PT PMA) has been reported as not having paid any taxes for as long as 10 to 40 years, and Tax Officers carry warrants for arrests for companies suspected of transfer pricing and shareholder loans.
What criteria are being used by DJP to actively identify potential tax revenues?
In Director's Letter No. S-192/PJ.08/2013 on the Extraction of Tax Potential and Receipts from Individual Taxpayers, released in October 2013, the Director of Tax Potential and Receipts instructed local and regional Tax Offices to conduct searches on government and external databases for: • Taxpayers whose net increases in assets do not correspond to increases in their taxable income
• Taxpayers without tax returns but earn incomes as evidenced by Bukti Potong, share ownership and/or loans to third parties
• Taxpayers who sold shares since 2011 indicating capital gains
• Taxpayers who had an increase in loans held to third parties as indication of interests and possible undeclared incomes earned
• Bukti Potong for income taxes pursuant to Articles 21, 23 and 4(2) (PPh 21, 23 and 4(2)) and cross-checking against the taxpayers' expenses, assets and their annual income tax returns
• Clarification via visits, observations and interviews to taxpayers regarding their sources of income
• Transfer of shares in non-listed companies based on historical costs and market values of such shares
As we can see, extraction of taxpayers' data with the purpose of expanding tax revenues began in 2013. Riding on the momentum of Tax Amnesty, the above lists obtained from government databases are being used to generate Priority Targets of taxpayers to appeal for Tax Amnesty participation.
Have these efforts been successful in increasing tax revenues?
Payment of tax due has increased by 30% year-on-year, reaching IDR 36.9 trillion Rupiah (approx. USD 2,8 billion) at the end of 2016. The number of forceful appeal letters has gone up 92% in 2016 compared to 2015, reaching 346,000 letters. Confiscation letters amount to 17,700 in 2016, compared to only 9,000 the previous year. Prison sentence for tax evasion has doubled from 38 to 74 people.
What other ways are the Government trying to increase tax revenues?
The most recent example is Indonesia's enthusiasm on signing the Countryby-Country Reporting (CbCR) Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement to discourage transfer pricing practices by requiring companies of above a certain revenue level to provide tax reports reflecting activities in multiple countries. The National Land Authority (BPN) is also imposing progressive tax on idle land to discourage land banking for long-term investments as the latter is considered unproductive use of land1.

During a heart attack, clots or narrowed arteries block blood flow, harming or killing cells in the heart. But damage doesn't end after the crushing pain subsides. Instead, the heart's walls thin out, the organ becomes enlarged, and scar tissue forms. These changes can cause heart failure. Scientists now report they have developed injectable gels to prevent this damage. Read more and watch the video at ACS News.

I am a web programmer/DBA of 4 years but I am no longer in the field as I went onto another career path. I have little to no experience with SEO and SEM. I am just discovering the many traps of traffic generation etc (as recently tried a website that gave credits for your website to be advertised) which has caused my Pagerank to be listed as fake (sigh). Anywho I am an avid gamer and also an avid bodybuilder and love health and nutrition in general (odd combo ey), I am also attempting to complete a book that I am hoping to get published. Hoping that I can contribute to this great forum. Cheers Darkmalice

Pro-Wrestling Road Warriors/Zubaz Page
Last updated 21 April 2015
Michael Hegstrand and Joseph Laurainitis travel about 230 days a year in their regular line of work. Mostly, they toil at night, sometimes in small-town arenas filled with flush-faced men and children who yell and scream as Hegstrand and Laurainitis perform their deeds: body slams, over-the-top-rope "clotheslines", and head butts--all applied to equally nasty opponents.
Known to most folks as Hawk and Animal, Hegstrand, 32, and Laurainitis, 30, do this as an act called The Legion of Doom for the World Wrestling Federation (Forbes, Oct. 17, 1988). They each earn a comfortable $300,000 or so a year for their efforts.
But wrestling is not a business to grow old in. "You can take only so many body slams before it's over," notes James Sippl, Hawk's financial adviser. So, three years ago, the fellows pondered less violent careers. As often happens, they settled on something involving personal need.
Neither Hawk (6-foot-2, 275 pounds) nor Animal (6 feet, 300 pounds) can walk into, say, Brooks Brothers and slip into an off-the-rack 42 long. Colleagues in the wrestling and bodybuilding world had similar problems.
So it happened that, in 1988, Hawk and two friends were hanging around their Minneapolis gym when Animal walked in wearing a pair of very baggy pants he'd picked up on tour. Everyone saw the light bulb at the same time. Flipping through ski and fashion magazines, they figured baggy pants were making a comeback. And to make them distinctive, shy not add crazy, vivid leopard, zebra and snakeskin patterns?
Thus was conceived the idea for Warrior Distributing Corp., sole manufacturer and distributor of Zubaz pants. Zubaz, Animal patiently explains, is gym lingo for "in your face," an oft-used sports put-down.
Hawk and Animal knew as much about the garment business as Ralph Lauren knows about sleeper holds. But they were quick studies, and besides, the rag trade isn't all that complicated. Their friend Robert Truax, the former prison guard and bodybuilder who is now president of Warrior, went to local fabric stores and picked up supplies. Another gym member who had garment experience cut the fabric and stitched up the first few pairs of pants. Selling just to gym members, they moved $13,000 worth of pants in the first month. They started visiting other health clubs and put a couple of mail-order ads in Muscle and Fitness magazine. The orders began to pour in after the manager of the local J.C. Penney store saw two kids wearing Zubaz pants at a hockey game.
Hot stuff, thought he. Within 60 days, the Zubaz line was in Penney's St. Cloud, Minn. and Minneapolis stores. Six months later Penney went national with Zubaz, followed by Foot Locker and Macy's, among others.
Truax worked out distribution. Daniel Stock, the fourth partner, signed up a mill in North Carolina to handle production. Hawk and Animal did promotion, wearing the garish garb wherever they went and flogging the duds to anyone who would listen. "We're in a different city every day," Animal says. "We wore the pants on the plane, we pushed them around the country, we had friends that ran, like, 14 wrestling magazines. Whenever they took a cover shot, there were Hawk and I wearing Zubaz shirts or pants," Animal notes.
Things really took off when former Chicago Bear quarterback Jim McMahon, along with most of the Bears, started wearing the pants.
There quickly followed a licensing agreement with the national Football League to put NFL team logos on Zubaz gear. Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino has an endorsement contract. There are plans for TV ads.
Zubaz burned through its initial $60,000 equity in about two months; to keep expanding the partners had to raise another $500,000 from Sippl and his friend, Minneapolis businessman John Castro. Sippl concedes it was rough telling his wife he was chipping in "that much for those funny colored pants."
Zubaz pants will, in their third year of existence, book sales of slightly over $20 million (wholesale). Zubaz licensed caps, made and distributed by A.J.D. Cap Co., were introduced in November. They have already moved $500,000 worth.
Nobody at Zubaz thinks its flashy pants will be stylish forever. So they want to diversify into longer-lasting "quality active wear," garments like more dressy pleated pants and baggy pants without designs, for example. Meanwhile, Hawk and Animal have no plans to quit wrestling anytime soon--it's too good a promotion for their pants. But they rest somewhat easier knowing there will be life after they leave the "squared circle."
As Hawk puts it, wrestling and business aren't all that different. "It's making sales pitches or whatever you're doing," he says. "I put on a wrestling face, but I can put on a pretty good business face, too."
If you have any comments, I can be reached via email at firstname.lastname@example.com

Ice cream, digging, pie.
Oh gosh one of my favorite things is to mash bananas into sticky rich chocolate ice cream. And OH MAN looking at the top photo in this is making me salivate. WANT! BANANAS! MASHED! INTO! STICKY CHEWY CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM FROM SWENSEN'S! I don't live up the hill from Swensen's any more. <sadface>. I'm going to have to make that ice cream! Crap! It- you just mix it and freeze it – WHY HAVEN'T THEY THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE!? IT MAKES ALL THE SENSE!! I WANT TO MAKE ALL KINDS OF VARIATIONS! THIS IS THE NEXT STEP IN ICE CREAMERY!
Listen to this. It is Ball And Biscuit by The White Stripes. SO BOSS:
As I wait for the state to process my license, I've been driving out to the coast most weekends to do yard work at my parent's house, which has been mostly digging-related activities. There's just nothing like showering and eating dinner and then relaxing after a day of outdoor labor in the dirt when the rest of the week you're mostly inside at a computer, because that's really what I do all week. Having not started my job. Because the state is processing my license. It's taking them a full eight weeks. Hey thanks, state! Thanks.
So digging has been going great! My parents are relandscaping the yard after years of it being kind of spottily barren. They got all kinds of pretty drought tolerant plants and they're also going to let me put in a little vegetable garden. They're camping this weekend so today I finished up with the tasks I know about (shaking dirt out of sod clumps so the garbage guys don't hate us, smoothing out dirt over the fixed drainage system) so tomorrow I'm going to put in some of the garden, maybe buy some tomato plants and strawberry plants, and more seeds. I want to try to get seeds for plants that will produce good seeds. My understanding is that this means heirloom seeds. I need to research this.
I have some seeds saved from my last garden in San Francisco. It was also my first garden, and it was so much fun! My gardening style is definitely to smell those roses and enjoy every transformation, and to put love into moving the dirt around and helping the plants grow and then harvesting and then collecting seeds. And being sad if something dies, but no matter! So it goes! Lesson learned! I learned, by the way, that arugula is the hardiest fancy thing to plant. It's nuts! The stuff is so so tasty and grows like a weed, and then it goes to seed and the seeds are ridiculously easy to collect and sow again. I have to thank my garden partner and old roommate for pointing out the seed collection possibility. It's all I care about now! My garden was so weak that I would just let everything go to seed, and I got my gardener's satisfaction from gathering the seeds!
So I have this collection from all over, from fruits and vegetables I've eaten, plants I've passed, etc., and who knows if anything will grow true. But I really enjoy the experiment!
Well it's evening now and I am worn. out. Even with just, really, a few hours of work. Now I'm sipping my wine and patting that black dog when she comes to bother me and put her head on my lap. Aw, dog! I love you too. Time to make pie!
Love, Genna

Wilson (Ukrainian Studies/University Coll., London) starts way back, with the myths of Ukrainian antiquity, to track the elements in the political and cultural imagination that have shaped the modern nation of the Ukraine. From the mists, he makes his way through the early medieval kingdom of Kievan Rus, interpreting how that land's geopolitical scope anticipated the contending nationalist claims of today. Although the author's prose is hardly mesmerizing, it has a certain incantatory quality that comes from the steady pulse of ideas: how fragile the whole idea of independent nationhood is when recalling that the Ukraine has had its sovereign moments before, under the Cossacks and after the October Revolution, but succumbed to mightier colonial powers; how parts of the greater Ukrainian matrix favored the Polish Commonwealth or the Habsburgs, the Romanovs or the Soviets; how today's splintered Ukraine looks East and West at the same time. Wilson charts the emergence of a distinct local religious orthodoxy; he also brings a telling selection of literary material into play, giving his politically dominated historical narrative some warmth and breadth; and he demonstrates how historical amnesia (or what he calls "existential blackout") shaped the perceptions of all camps. He brings an independent scholar's unjaundiced eye to bear on the schools of thought that put their spin on topics anywhere from the origins of Slavic Christianity to "jackdaw nationalism." But for the ten-year-old nation there are too many unsettled questions. Will pan-Slavism counter the present European bias? Will the oligarchs continue to rule? How will foreign policy shake out? Will the West tender a true commitment? Wilson sees the future as a decidedly undecided affair.
An exceptional history, the kind that supplies not pat answers but food for thought within a lush context of documented and mythological past. (Illustrations, not seen)

- Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer tells Sports Illustrated that he is ahead of schedule in his rehab from a devastating knee injury in December. Palmer (or Snowflake as his teammate Chad Johnson calls him) plans on returning by September 10th for the Bengals first game from a MCL and ACL tears, injuries which typically take eight to twelve months to recover from. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis demands that Snowflake play at least two exhibition games before Snowflake can start the first game.
Of course, as my buddy Plugs has mentioned multiple times to me, Snowflake injured his non-planting leg so everything will be fine.
The Bucs play the Bengals in Week 6.
- Titans quarterback Steve McNair is one step closer to becoming a Raven. An arbitrator has ruled McNair should be allowed to use the Titans practice, which could spur the Titans into trading McNair lest he get injured working out.
The Ravens have full team minicamps until June 15, which means after the 15th the Ravens have little motivation to make a trade for McNair. If a deal is not completed by June 15 the Ravens would probably wait until July when the Titans would have to drop McNair to make salary cap room for their draft picks.
The Bucs play the Ravens in Week 1.
- Despite deserving it, 'Skins safety Sean Taylor avoided jail time for assault with a deadly weapon. Instead Taylor will have to pay 10 Miami inner city schools a $1,000 each and visit each school.
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with Miami?

The Ethics Commission will hold its second meeting on whether to grant Mayor Ed Lee's director on housing Doug Shoemaker an ethics waiver so he can leave his city government post and work as president of the nonprofit Mercy Housing California.
The commission previously postponed a vote on the waiver when one commission said he was inclined to oppose it. A waiver is required because Shoemaker has signed off on a number of contracts within the past 12 months with the nonprofit where he now wants to work. A decision was postponed to give Shoemaker a chance to make his case when all the commissioners were present.
Chair of the commission Benedict Hur had said during the meeting that "I understand that this is a dream job. ... The problem I'm seeing, this seems to be the classic instance that the code is trying to protect against," Hur said. "A situation where someone of your authority in MOH is dealing directly with an entity, signing contracts with the potential of you then switching sides. The reason why we have this code is so that everybody understands that you can't switch sides, because you would have to sit on the sidelines for a year to do that.
The committee meets Tuesday at 2 p.m., at City Hall, in Room 408.


text: British oil and gas company BP is hopeful of making good natural gas discoveries in Libya and plans to begin exploring there later this year, Reuters reported. BP and Libya signed a gas exploration deal last year that marked the return of the world's third-largest fully publicly traded oil firm by market value to the north African oil exporter after a 30-year break. Last year, BP said it would drill 17 exploration wells across a large area of 13.3 million acres with an initial exploration budget of $900m. Libya has attracted interest from international oil firms since 2004, when the United States and European Union eased sanctions following Libya's agreement not to pursue nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. BP will work with a Libyan partner, the Libyan government-backed Libyan Investment Corporation (LIC), which manages a series of official investment funds. Source: Reuters

Rabbit teeth grow continuously throughout their lives. Normal chewing action wears them down just to the point that they don't overgrow. This is one of the reasons it is important to feed your rabbit a high fiber diet.
A rabbit that has a malocclusion does not have this normal wearing action and can suffer overgrown teeth. This problem can be serious enough to inhibit the ability to eat. Most rabbits do fine if their teeth are trimmed periodically. On select cases we will remove the problem teeth.
Before we begin click here to see an x-ray of a rabbits mouth to view incisors and molars. Come back here after you have reviewed rabbit tooth anatomy.
In most rabbits trimming the teeth periodically works fine. They have sensitive teeth that can easily crack, so it's not a good isea to do this at home unless you are very experienced.
This patient has overgrown lower incisors. They are definitely inhibiting its ability to chew. They need periodic trimming every 2-4 weeks to prevent recurrence.
They are trimmed with a special scissors that will not crack them. If needed, they are also filed to remove any sharp edges. This technique should not be tried by inexperienced people because teeth are brittle in nature, and in this case are weaker than normal due to the abnormality. They can easily fracture because of these two factors. In addition, rabbits can fracture their back if not properly restrained.
Even though the upper incisors are not as long as the lower, they also need trimming because they are growing into the lower jaw
Our friend feels much better, and can now get back to normal rabbit activity. He needs to return in 2-4 weeks to have his teeth checked.
This rabbit has an upper right incisor (arrow) that has been chronically infected. We decided to remove the incisors because trimming the teeth was not solving the problem.
The arrow points to the cracked and infected tooth
As you saw from the x-ray pictures the roots of these incisors are very deep and they curve significantly. Great care must be taken during their removal so they don't crack at the root.
In this picture we are gently breaking down the attachment of the tooth to the gums.
This is the appearance immediately after surgery
The molar teeth can also be overgrown, and will get points on them. The points are painful, dig into the gums or tongue, and can prevent eating. Molar teeth are not easy to assess. Rabbits don't like anything in their mouths, and the folds of skin of the cheeks interfere with visualization. These teeth are gently filed down under anesthesia. Feeding a high fiber diet might help prevent this problem.
We use proper restraint, gas anesthesia, and a gentle speculum, to carefully visualize the molar teeth before filing
You can see the point on this molar tooth
After trimming. The rough edges will be smoothe off.
In some rabbits the problem is much more serious than overgrown and unsightly incisors. These rabbits have severe problems with their molar teeth, preventing them from eating properly. If untreated they can die. A large part of their problem is a diet that is too low in fiber. This causes improper wearing down of the molars, and even can lead to elongation of the roots of the incisors.
Rabbits with this problem are not eating well, losing weight, and are slobbering. Looking into a rabbits mouth is not the easiest thing in the world to do. Not only do they find it distasteful, but their skin folds make it near impossible to visualize the teeth without anesthesia and proper instruments.
When the molar teeth don't wear down properly they develop points that pinch the gums and make chewing painful. These rabbits are treated by filing the molars down until they become smooth, and instituting a higher fiber diet. In some cases the chronic molar problem causes the roots to elongate. This is a serious problem, that can lead to abscesses, pain, inability to eat, and even death.
This is a picture of Mike. He has overgrown molar roots that we will be removing. His IV catheter is giving him fluids just prior to anesthesia.
Putting an IV catheter in a rabbit takes special skill from our nursing staff. You can learn more about catheters if you like by following the IV catheter link.
Before you attempt to treat one of these rabbits you need instruments enabling proper exposure of the teeth.
These rabbits need complete anesthesia for proper treatment. We use a very safe gas anesthesia and usually intubate for an additional margin of safety. The arrow points to the beginning of the breathing tube as it enters the mouth from the left. You can trace it as it courses down and to the right.
We diagnosed Mike's problems partially by a history of weight loss and poor appetite, along with excessive salivation.You can see the chronic irritation the saliva has caused on his chin.
A radiograph was also helpful in the diagnosis. The arrow points to the elongation of the roots of the molar teeth. Compare it to the rabbit below with normal molar roots.
These roots are normal. The arrow on the left points to the incisors, the one below points to the molars. Can you see the difference in the molars from the abnormal rabbit above.
Now that Mike is finally anesthetized we can gain access to his molar teeth. The white arrow points to one of them deep in his oral cavity.
These are the teeth immediately after removal. The roots are on the bottom.
A closeup of one of them shows the infection around the root (on the right).
Unfortunately, Mike had more than teeth problems. He had abscesses in his eye and on his tongue caused by Pasteurella. The arrow points to the ulcer he has on the tip of his tongue.
One of the most important things you can do to keep your rabbit's teeth healthy is to feed a high fiber diet. This consists of mostly timothy hay or timothy hay pellets.
Regular exams by one of our doctors will also catch this problem before teeth get infected or your rabbit becomes ill.

Anterior Hip Replacement
In 1990, Dr. Shifflett did a carpal tunnel release on me. In 2001, I broke my shoulder and he successfully treated me, so when my knee flared up he was my first choice. We started with physical therapy and then supplemented with injections and anti-inflammatory medications – this all worked well for a period of time. Eventually the pain became unbearable and Dr. Shifflett recommended knee replacement.
When asked about knee surgery I say – "Yes, it hurts but it is well worth it because I'm able to live my life again!" Dr. Shifflett and the nurses and physical therapists at the Queen did a great job of preparing me, so I knew what they expected of me. I was back to my regular activities within a month, with no pain."

Do you love Finger Lakes wine? We don't blame you. Our region is jam-packed (grape pun intended)
Monday, January 30, 2017 6:00 AM by Karen Miltner
Perhaps you have come to the Finger Lakes to explore our world-famous Rieslings and our award-winning farm-to-table fare. That's all well and good, but let's face it, sometimes a cold beer and a hefty burger are exactly what the vacation doctor calls for, with a big side of local culture. From re-purposed shotgun shells turned into lighting fixtures to free legal advice from town supervisors, here are some of the best off-the-beaten-path watering holes, dive bars and neighbor joints in the Finger Lakes where you can easily feel like a regular.

Sometimes you go to a bar or restaurant for a drink and try something new and wonder, where did that come from? That happened to me recently when I was at Lake Drum Brewing in Geneva, trying a flight of hard ciders from the region. One in particular stood out. It was a pleasantly spicy and alluring ginger cider, sweet but not cloying, and it tasted great with the popcorn I was eating. I could imagine it tasting even better with some Chinese food. I was thrilled when I discovered that the producer, Star Cider, is just a few miles away in Clifton Springs.

A few weeks ago my wife asks me, "Let's spend the day down in Naples and do something fun?" I replied, "Sounds like a plan!" Having a 7 month old and in the midst of remodeling our kitchen - time poverty was high in the "Lee" household.
The next challenge, secure a babysitter. Success! We found a babysitter and had 4 hours to experience Naples! We know that isn't enough time but off we went. I planned a quick itinerary in my head that started us out in South Bristol and finished in the heart of Naples. To my surprise, the majority of these upcoming stops my wife had never experienced before and that was about to change!

Stream or download qigong video lessons to heal your Arthritis symptoms permanently.
• Get immediate pain relief for your arthritis.
• New smaller app size!
• Learn to use qigong to promote healing.
In this hour-long video app, Master Yang presents gentle qigong exercises to help ease your Arthritis pain and speed your body's natural healing. The exercises are simple to learn and enjoyable to practice, and you can easily follow along with Dr. Yang's demonstration. The movements can be practiced sitting or standing.
In the second half of the program, Dr. Yang offers pain-relieving massage techniques for yourself and with a partner, and shows important pressure points, or acupuncture cavities. A complete self-massage section is included which you may follow along to. Massage is sometimes necessary to help improve your circulation to speed the healing process.
Whether you want to prevent Arthritis or are suffering from joint pain already, qigong can help you with pain relief and stimulate your healing. For centuries, the Chinese have healed and strengthened their bodies with Qigong (chee-kung), the art of using the mind to direct the energy within your body to improve health and vitality. This program also gives an introduction to the general concepts of qigong and how it pertains to arthritis.
"Qigong for Arthritis Relief" by Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming is also available as a DVD, book or ebook.
Learn details about posture, the Qi (energy) circulatory system, and how to properly practice Qigong to improve your health.
The flow of Qi (energy) can be disturbed either through external trauma, such as an injury, or internal trauma such as depression or stress, or even just a sedentary lifestyle. When the body is energetically out of balance, this is when symptoms like aches and pain start to occur and we start to experience a state of "disease". Wherever you feel pain or tightness, your energetic circulation is stagnant, or even blocked. Stagnation is the root of injury or illness. Qigong meditation can increase the quantity of your Qi (energy) and improve the quality of your circulation.
Qi-gong translates from Chinese to Energy-Work. Qigong meditation creates balance in the body, both physically and energetically, by improving the flow of energy that circulates through the body in the meridians. We all have a "life force", Qi (energy) within all our trillions of cells, allowing them to function. Qi also regulates physical, emotional, mental and spiritual stability. Qi (ki in Japanese) maintains a homeostatic balance in your body.

Disease Prevention and Control Disease Prevention and Control
The health policy of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has given due emphasis to promotive and preventive interventions coupled with basic curative services. Consequently, the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention General Directorate (HPDP-GD) has been established to achieve greater public satisfaction by engaging communities and families in the inception, implementation and evaluation of health programms. Particular emphasis has also been given to halting common and easily preventable health hazards by transferring the necessary skills to empower communities to take charge and opt for healthy lifestyle.
Four major health programme areas have been integrated within the HPDP-GD:
- Maternal and Child Health
Ethiopia is one of the signatory countries that have committed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015. As such, the HPDP - GD strives to achieve the MDG 4 and 5 targets for maternal and child health by designing and executing various innovative approaches.
- Communicable Disease Prevention and Control
The HPDP – GD seeks to control and eliminate, whenever possible, communicable diseases by utilising the full potential of the Health Extension Programme (HEP), by accelerating the training of model families as well as availing proven interventions and services to the community.
- Hygiene and Sanitation
Ethiopia has made commitments to achieve universal sanitation coverage by 2012. Taking into account the tremendous progress made in the country over the last 4 years, Ethiopia is in pole position to achieving this target. This is due to the Health Extension Programme and the resultant social mobilisation and open-defecation-free movements taking place at the community level.
- Information, Education, Communication (IEC) and Advocacy
IEC and advocacy activities are strengthened by moving away from disease specific to all health-related risks. Comprehensive and holistic communication strategies are developed and aim at the major public health problems.
- The above programmes, which were delivered in a separate and vertical approach in the previous health care delivery system are integrated and harmonised in the new Health Extension Programme. The HPDP-GD together with the Medical Services Directorate proposes to empower families and communities to be key players in the health development programmes along with the holistic support from the Government and development partners.

Thanks to both of you...so much!!
At this point it is such a struggle because he won't talk to me on the phone and has just shut us out witht he exception of his brother. The first couple of times they spoke on the phone he was very rude and short on the phone but at least this last time, he made the effort to call here and talk with his brother and was nice to him. He does have a job down with his dad and seems to be happy about that..
My middle son is so much more open and struggled with some depression in the past and we were able to get him help and back on track..he is pretty open emotionally and easy to talk to, and before his brother left, he told him how much he was going to miss him etc and my oldest just told him to stop being so whiney and emotional
I don't blame him for being the way he is, he has a lot of anger and I don't know how to help him..I know some teenagers just have more of a struggle than others..As far as his dad goes, I think he will watch out for him okay, but he has been a bachelor for a very long time and it is going to be an adjustment for him to have a teen with him, plus they have never been close. I have tried to explain to him that our son struggles socially and somewhat academically but he doesn't seem to understand what he is in for..There are no rules there and my son can do pretty much whatever he would like to do, which is part of the appeal.
I worry about how he will do in school, will he make friends, grades, classes, he will be a sophomore, and here he went to a non-traditional school and has since elementary school, down there they don't have such a school. His dad is going to let him get his license and I don't think he is emotionally ready..I think he is too impulsive and quick to anger. I have lost a lot of sleep lately!

Amarillo, TX - Starting November 1st, 2013, SNAP food benefits will be reduced across the state of Texas.
Because the temporary increase in benefits from the federal stimulus, passed in 2009, is expiring SNAP food benefits will be reduced in Texas by an average of 5 percent.
Depending on the family size the amount of the drop will vary. This means, more families may be turning to services like the high plains food bank.
We spoke with the executive director about what the cuts mean for families. "For a household of 4 its about a $36 dollar cut. Which may not seem like a lot but when your average benefit is about only $250 dollars ... that is a big cut ... especially for those who are on the fence who are living paycheck to paycheck. So it's just important that we get that out there and ask for everyone's help" - Zack Wilson.
Wilson says now more than ever they can't receive enough donations. He also says not only do they need them now during the holidays but also for coming years.
SNAP food benefits to be reduced in November
Amarillo, TX - Starting November 1st, 2013, SNAP food benefits will be reduced across the state of Texas.

Law School Admissions / Re: How many schools are you planning on applying to?« on: June 16, 2005, 03:16:09 PM »
Max 10, probably more like 8-9. Why in the world would anyone need to apply to 20+ different schools?
They ran out of other things to spend their money on?
Or they got bored and decided, "Hey, I could spend my time writing even MORE essays!"

Zsa Zsa Gabor's condition uncertain as daughter contradicts husband
Zsa Zsa Gabor, who's been recovering from hip replacement surgery performed Monday, is either in critical condition and "not looking good," or "responsive" and "going strong," depending on which family member you believe.
Gabor's husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, said Friday that his wife, while not in a coma, was not responsive.
"The doctors want to observe her over the weekend to make sure her condition improves, but right now it is not looking good," Von Anhalt said.
Gabor's publicist added that the actress, believed to be 93, may have suffered a stroke, and was "vacant," Gossip Cop reports.
Daughter Constance Francesca Hilton contradicted that later Friday in a statement to Reuters: "She is not in a coma. She is not on any kind of death watch. She is responsive and on medications. All vital signs are still going strong, and she is talking."
Gabor is at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

Apple Strives for Global Markets
Electronics Giant Speeds Overseas Rollout of New iPhone to 88 Countries as It Looks for Growth
Hidden among flashier details of Apple Inc.'s AAPL -2.14% iPhone 4 unveiling was this surprise: 88 countries will get the latest device by September, a much smaller lag behind the U.S. introduction than in the past.
The shift shows how important overseas sales have become for Apple, which struggled before the iPhone to become a global player. The faster rollout comes as many analysts believe iPhone growth has peaked in the U.S., at least through its current sole partner AT&T Inc. T 0.34%
Apple got 58% of its revenue from outside the Americas region in the latest quarter, excluding sales at Apple stores. While Apple doesn't break out sales for specific products by region, Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook said in the quarterly earnings call that iPhone sales were seeing strong triple-digit growth in Europe and Asia. Apple called it "the fastest international roll out" for iPhone.
Last year, Apple introduced the iPhone 3GS in June and the phone was available in 64 countries at the end of September 2009, but it wasn't yet available in countries like South Korea and China, which are the fastest growing markets today.
Tim Bajarin, an analyst at researcher Creative Strategies, estimates that about 55% of iPhone sales are now made outside of the U.S., from about 25% two years ago. Added Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu, "In the U.S., the only way to get a substantial amount of subscribers is through another carrier. [Apple] needs this accelerated [international] timetable to sustain growth."
France, Germany, the U.K. and Japan, where Apple will offer the iPhone 4 simultaneously with the U.S., are some of the company's fastest growing markets. Research firm Canalys estimated that Apple's smartphone market share in France hit 40.5% in the first quarter, up from 11.5% in 2008.
"The iPhone brought something new," said Stephane Richard, chief executive of France Telecom , in a recent interview, adding that the device has been eroding Nokia Corp.'s NOK 0.57% dominance in Europe. "All the other players...have to think about what to do with their smartphones."
In Japan, Tokyo-based MM Research Institute Ltd. estimates the iPhone comprised 72% of all smartphones sold in the fiscal year ended March 31, though the category is still a small part of the country's phone sales.
While competition is growing from similar phones that run on Google Inc.'s Android operating system, analysts say Apple can still expand its market share, since in the past year it has increased the iPhone's international presence and added multiple wireless carriers in some countries.
"All of the infrastructure is already there for the iPhone 4, and the relationship with carriers is already there," said Carolina Milanesi, an analyst for researcher Gartner Inc.
Apple's mainstay Macintosh computers historically have not been big sellers outside the U.S., due primarily to the machines' higher prices and limited distribution. But analysts said Apple's iPod music players helped the company break into more markets and raised consumers' appetites for related products.
Apple's new iPad tablet computer, which launched in April, is also aimed internationally. The company began selling the iPad in nine countries last month and is poised to launch it in nine more countries in July.
Developers for Apple's App Store, which stocks programs that can be downloaded onto the iPhone and iPad, said they are already seeing the strength of international markets in their own businesses.
San Francisco game company Ngmoco Inc.'s Chief Executive Neil Young said he saw "a meaningful bump" in downloads when the iPad went on sale outside of the U.S. Currently, 50% to 70% of the start-up's iPad game downloads are coming from other countries, he said.
Creative Strategies' Mr. Bajarin expects international sales to eventually form about 55% of the iPad's overall sales, a similar percentage to the iPhone's international sales.
Apple has been building its overseas presence with its Apple retail stores. The Cupertino, Calif., company had 62 international stores at the end of December out of 283 overall.
Apple has said that over half of the 40 to 50 new stores it plans to open in the current fiscal year ending in September will be overseas in cities such as London and Shanghai.
"The Apple stores are a key part in major cities. There is a community effect that's quite powerful," said Nick James, an analyst with London bank Panmure Gordon & Co.

Broward County aviation officials and business operators protesting the closing of a railroad crossing near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport failed to reach a compromise Monday on an alternate traffic route.
Estimating the cost of an overpass above the Southwest 33rd Street crossing at between $8 million and $15 million, the director of the county airport expansion said he could not recommend Broward make such an investment.
``You are talking a magnitude that just can`t be justified from a broader perspective other than your particular interest,`` Richard Mooney told a group of business representatives. ``It would just be unconscionable.``
Owners of commercial enterprises north of the airport say their access is going to be severely restricted by closing the crossing. But the county has promised Florida East Coast Railway it will block the road in return for the railroad`s agreement to move its tracks east of the airport.
Saying the overpass would solve their traffic problems, the business officials said they will get a second engineering estimate on the project`s cost.
``It is like having surgery, I want a second opinion,`` said George Weaver, a real estate investor who has been coordinating the opposition to the closing.
They also will meet with Fort Lauderdale commissioners today to ask for the city`s help to keep the crossing open.
The group has been threatening a lawsuit if it is unable to reach terms with the county and the railroad.
An alternative railroad crossing proposed by the county and the business group was rejected by FEC officials in a meeting last week.
Mooney and engineers for the county said the overpass would cut less than half a mile off the distance the employees and customers now have to travel to reach State Road 84 by way of Southwest Second Avenue.

Discography is an imaging test. It involves injecting a contrast material into a disc in the spine and taking an x-ray . An x-ray is a test that uses radiation to take a picture of structures inside the body. The contrast material helps the disc appear more clearly on the x-ray.
|Herniated Lumbar Disc
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Test
This test is used to detect if a herniated disc or otherwise abnormal disc is a source of pain. Discs are small, circular cushions between the vertebrae (bones) in the spine. A herniated disc occurs when a disc in the spine bulges from its proper place. Herniated discs can press on the nerves and cause severe pain. In some cases, they can cause pain themselves, but often an abnormal disc is not painful.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Disc degeneration
- Infection
- Nerve injury
- Injection of dye into the wrong area
- Bleeding
- Allergic reaction to the contrast agent
What to Expect
Prior to Test
Your doctor may do the following:
- Physical exam and medical history
- Determine if you have any allergies
- Pregnancy test—this test is not usually needed on pregnant women
Before your test:
- Arrange for a ride home and for help when you return after your procedure
- Remove any metal objects from your body, such as jewelry, hearing aids, or dentures
Description of the Test
You will lie on your abdomen or side on a table. A technician will help place you into position. You may be given antibiotics through an IV. You may receive an injection of local anesthetic into the skin on your back. This will be done to reduce pain from the needles.
Your doctor will use an imaging test called fluoroscopy. It combines x-ray technology with a TV screen to help guide needles into the discs. A contrast dye will be injected into the center of each disc. If the disc is normal, the liquid will remain in the center of the disc. If it is abnormal, the x-ray will detect any spreading or leaks.
During the exam, you will be asked to rate any pain that is associated with the injections. This can help your doctor find out if it is the abnormal disc that is causing pain. After this test, your doctor may do a CT scan to see the extent of spreading of the contrast dye.
After Test
You will be monitored in a recovery room while the sedation wears off.
How Long Will It Take?
About 30-60 minutes (an additional 30-60 minutes if a CT scan is also done)
Will It Hurt?
You may have pain from the contrast dye. Pain can last for several hours.
The results will be given to your doctor. Your doctor will talk to you about the results and treatment options.
Call Your Doctor
It is important to monitor your recovery. Alert your doctor to any problems. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Severe pain
- Numbness in your legs
- Trouble urinating or moving your bowels
- Symptoms of allergic reaction—hives, itching, nausea, swollen or itchy eyes, tight throat, or difficulty breathing
- Symptoms worsen
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.
