"With more efficient diagnostic and treatment services, our patients can get the care they need as quickly and comfortably as possible," said Dr. Broome
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) March 21, 2016
The Charlotte Center for Cosmetic Dentistry is on the leading edge when it comes to providing technologically advanced dental services in a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere. From digital impressions and custom in-office restorations to sleep apnea screening and 3D treatment planning, the North Carolina dental practice is well-equipped to provide comprehensive dental and orthodontic care to achieve amazing results.
"Dental technology is constantly evolving and improving our ability to treat even the most complex cases," said Dr. Patrick Broome, founder of the Charlotte Center for Cosmetic Dentistry. "I strongly believe in bringing these capabilities to our office as soon as possible so our patients can take advantage of the best of what dentistry has to offer. Most people feel that going to the dentist is a nerve-wracking experience, but with more efficient diagnostic and treatment services, our patients can get the care they need as quickly and comfortably as possible."
One of the latest additions to Dr. Broome's office includes the CEREC system, which can create realistic 3D models in a matter of minutes, as well as provide digital impressions for Invisalign® devices, and fabricate custom ceramic restoration devices. Patients will also have the added benefit of being able to receive precise 3D scans with the Sirona Galileos Comfort Plus Digital 3D Cone Beam CT scanner. Each of these advanced scanning devices eliminates the need for patients to schedule an additional appointment at a specialist's office.
The Charlotte Center for Cosmetic Dentistry will also be the first and only dental office in North Carolina to offer the upgraded 3D imaging capabilities of the Galileos Function. The unit allows Dr. Broome and his staff to see jaw movements in 3D to plan extremely complex cases digitally for the patient to see and understand prior to treatment.
"The CEREC system and Galileos Function are revolutionary in that they allow us to accurately assess a patient's anatomy, create a clear proposal, and then administer effective treatments within a single appointment in many cases," said Dr. Broome. "We strive to make the experience as relaxing and efficient as possible, and the CEREC system and Galileos are a definite asset."
Dr. Broome and his staff are also proud to have an in-office lab, milling unit, and porcelain oven to design and fabricate ceramic crowns, bridge, and abutments without having to wait on an outside facility. The turn around for ceramic and porcelain restorations and implants is shorter than ever, cutting down on the number of appointments and amount of time each patient has to spend in the dentist's chair. In-office dental implants will be available by Fall 2016.
"For patients who are particularly overwhelmed or anxious about the process, we will also have an in-office anesthesia specialist to administer appropriate care, particularly during long-duration or complex cases," said Dr. Broome. "In April of this year, we will also offer IV sedation to help relax patients who may be struggling with dental anxiety.
"We understand that the last thing our patients want is to spend a day at the dentist's, let alone have to return for multiple appointments," added Dr. Broome. "So, we try to make our office as relaxing as a day at the spa while also achieving beautiful results in less time."
Dr. Broome has also added sleep apnea screening and treatment to the list of comprehensive services available at his office. Combining the Galileos 3D scan with the Intra-oral CEREC Omnicam scan, Dr. Broome can create a 3D image that can be used to create a custome oral appliance that helps increase airway capacity for patients who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea.
"Dental and oral health are intrinsically linked to a patient's well-being and overall health," said Dr. Broome. "We hope to cover as many bases as we can to ensure that our patients have a thorough dental and oral treatment plan that is customized to his or her unique needs and goals."
Dr. Patrick J. Broome, DMD, is founder of Charlotte Center for Cosmetic Dentistry in Charlotte, North Carolina. Dr. Broome has extensive postgraduate education and experience in cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry and specializes in dental implants, teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, inlays/onlays, dental crowns, dental bridges, Invisalign®, and total smile makeovers in Charlotte. Dr. Broome offers laser dentistry and sedation dentistry at no additional charge to his patients. He also serves as a clinical instructor for the Southeast Regional Training Center for the Biolase WaterlaseMD laser system, the most advanced laser dentistry system currently available to dentists.

An appeal by the Bail Committee of the Superior Court was dismissed without prejudice, as the decision of this court in Quinn v. State Ethics Comm'n, ante 210 (1987), had rendered consideration of the question presented unnecessary. [223-224] LIACOS, J., with whom NOLAN & LYNCH, JJ., joined, dissenting.
CIVIL ACTION commenced in the Superior Court Department on June 3, 1986.
The case was reported to the Appeals Court by Charles M. Grabau, J. The Supreme Judicial Court granted a request for direct appellate review.
Gordon L. Doerfer, Special Assistant Attorney General, for Bail Committee of the Superior Court.
Bruce T. Eisenhut for State Ethics Commission.
WILKINS, J. The Bail Committee of the Superior Court appealed the decision of the State Ethics Commission (commission) concerning the lawfulness under G. L. c. 268A, Section 7, of Robert J. Quinn's dual activities as a bail commissioner appointed by the Superior Court and as an employee of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority. We granted the parties' applications for direct appellate review. We have today decided Quinn's appeal adversely to him. See Quinn v. State Ethics Comm'n, ante 210 (1987). In the Quinn case we answered the substantive issue presented in this case and raised in a judge's report of the case to the Appeals Court.
The Bail Committee has indicated that the Quinn case makes unnecessary any decision by us on whether the Bail Committee
Page 224
has standing to appeal the commission's decision. We see no practical need to answer that question. It is true that, technically, that question should be answered in order to determine whether the Bail Committee's appeal of the Commission's decision should be dismissed or the commission's decision should be affirmed on the authority of the Quinn case. We believe that a practical solution is to enter an order in the Superior Court that, in light of this court's opinion in Quinn v. State Ethics Comm'n, supra, the Bail Committee's appeal is dismissed without prejudice.
So ordered.
LIACOS, J. (dissenting, with whom Nolan and Lynch, JJ., join). I dissent for the reasons stated in my separate opinion in Quinn v. State Ethics Comm'n, ante at 218 (1987).

Kathy, thank you so much for taking the time to answer a couple of questions for my readers.
Can you please describe how you began your journey of healthy eating and gluten free lifestyle?
My journey began when I was 12 years old and a naturopathic doctor discovered that I was allergic to gluten and dairy. I had such a vast improvement in my health that it made me want to tell the WORLD!
Being from Ottawa you must have a sense of what we Ottawian's need to make our lives more fullffilling and healty..If there was just one "golden nugget" of information, that could lead to a healthy lifestyle, what would it be?
I would say to make your own food- to stick with foods as close to nature as possible- the simpler the better!
Having a segment on Dr.Oz must have been an exhilirating experience, what was one thing you will take with you from that expereince?
That dreams really do come true and if you believe it- you CAN do it!
Can you pick just one of your recipies and tell us why it is your favorite and what inspired you to create it?
Oh by far my Decadent Black Bean Brownie Recipe! It is a decadent chocolate brownie that MELTS in your mouth! What inspired me to make it was a client craving brownies and I thought- hmmm so am I! How can I make this a healthy recipe! Anyone who would like a free download of my cookbook can do so by going to my website- www.LiveTheSmartWay.com
Thank you so much for your time Kathy, congratulations on all your success!
Kathy and one of my favourite Ottawa personalities Kurt StoodleyKurt Stoodley from CTV Ottawa Morning.
We are so lucky here in Ottawa! Kathy is hosting a cooking class on Saturday, Nov 3rd. Click the link for more information:

Apple – Started year with a new job in the iPod division, learned so much about Firmware engineering, worked with finest people, wrote good amount of code and solved some challenging problems.
Steve Jobs – It was humbling to see Steve Jobs couple of times in the cafe macs. His philosophy and the way of thinking in many areas like design, simplicity, focus would be a guiding force for me in the coming years. I would certainly remember being part of the function organized at Apple headquarters in his memory.
Biking – Bought a new hybrid bike [diamondback insight 1] and biked to work almost everyday. Love biking on the foothills expressways. Also challenged my self to bike once to SF from Sunnyvale.
Hiking – California is a paradise for natural beauty lovers, and hiked to many places [like Yosemite, Mt. diablo, Olympic national park] with a great group of friends.
Hacker news / Startup school – Started reading hacker news regularly and spent close to two hours every day browsing interesting links. I learned so many things after reading through the comments section and I owe to the HN community for teaching me many things. Also attended Startup school at Stanford and it was memorable experience of sitting in the audience listening to the greats of Silicon valley.
Networking – Drew houston of Dropbox made an interesting comment at Startup school that "you are average of five friends or people you interact the most". This stuck to me for few days and on thinking about it more I realized it to be true for most part. I have met many inspiring people at work and in bay area general and they all helped me to raise a personal bar.
Machine learning – A big thanks to Prof. Andrew Ng and Stanford university for taking a bold initiative in online learning and teaching a course on ML free to the world. The assignments gave good idea behind how the algorithms are used in real world. Overall the course gave me enough feel of ML algorithms like SVM, linear and logistic regression, PCA, K means etc.
Mad Men – It is the best TV show I have seen so far. Some of the scenes between Don, Peggy and Pete are itched to my mind forever.
Music – Tried couple of music applications like Spotify, Pandora, Turntable to explore some new music. Listened to songs from Coldplay, Foster the people, Doors, OneRepublic on the loop.

The Grand Canyon in Arizona is enormous in size. You can't just drive to the gorge, spend some time looking around and then leave. To really make the most of a visit to this National Park, you must take a few hikes, ride the Colorado River and explore each corner open to tourists. The many different views the Grand Canyon can give you will certainly be a surprise.
The Canyon attracts millions of people each year with its colorful landscape, immense size, and awe-inspiring geology. This natural wonder presents obstacles that can leave even the experienced hikers emerging sore and fatigued, including the scorching heat during the summer months, an altitude of 7,000 feet and steep, rocky, winding trails.
Here are some ways you can take in the mystique of the Grand Canyon:
The South Rim. Aside from the view of this magnificent gorge, you get a close look at some historical buildings and ruins.
Toroweap Overlook. This popular overlook is on the North Rim and is 3,000 feet straight up from the river. This gives you a breath-taking view due to the steepness of the gorge.
Grand Canyon Skywalk. This gives you quite a scary view and really gets your heart pounding since it is a glass-bottom walkway that extends out from the edge of the gorge. The Skywalk is officially open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week.
Lipan Point. Also at the South Rim, this marks the starting point of the Tanner Trail. Take some time to grasp the beauty of the Canyon from Lipan Point before heading down the trail.
Tanner Trail. This trail heads towards the floor of the gorge and can be a challenging hike. The view of the Canyon from this trail is overwhelming.
Bright Angel Trail. The South Rim is where the most popular hike exists. The Bright Angel Trail is located near the Grand Canyon Village. On the North Rim, North Kailbab is the most popular hiking trail.
Whitewater Rafting. Some visitors prefer to go down to the bottom of the river by foot, while others prefer to ride the river. Being at the Grand Canyon bottom where you are thrown by the water, and surrounded by huge rocks can be an astounding experience.
Aerial View. Some people prefer the aerial view from a helicopter from one of the many charter services that will give you a bird's eye view of the Grand Canyon. Tour operators can be located at the Grand Canyon Airport, which is five miles south of the park or in Sedona.
Mule ride. Take a mule ride down the side of the Canyon. There are several companies who perform this magnificent view as you travel down the inside of the Canyon.
The Grand Canyon can be a great family vacation adventure on a budget. If you like camping The North Rim is open for campers free of charge. Also there are plenty of benches and tables set up for eating. So make sure you pack your sleeping bags, tents and food so you won't need to spend any money for lodging or dining while visiting the Grand Canyon!

I've been sick for over a week now, thanks to a particularly tenacious little flu bug that is making the rounds here in Texas. At first I thought it might be allergy related, since the weather was still warm and I didn't seem to have any flu-like symptoms aside from the runny nose and sore throat. But, much like the warm weather, that theory is just a memory. I've had body aches, fevers and chills along with the continuation of the aforementioned sore throat and it's new buddy, a deep chest cough. Ugh. The worst part of it is, I've been so busy with a very important video conference at work, that I can't take time off to rest and heal properly. I have upped the amount of fluids I've been taking in and have tried to make sure I'm getting more rest than normal, and I think that has helped. But damn - I can't wait to have this flu pass. Maybe I should look at the bright side: that I've dealt with this strain of the flu, and hopefully won't have another for the rest of the winter. Well, I can hope not at least.
Christmas is coming quickly this year - I haven't had the time (or money for that matter) to do all the shopping I'd like to do. I've picked up a couple of presents already, but still much shopping has to be done, and apparently most of it will be done with a couple of days to go before Christmas. For, as much as I'd like to get the shopping done early, the bills won't wait due to the holidays. Grrr. Ah well - it will keep the tradition of this year's 17th annual December 23rd Mall Blowing very much alive. Perhaps this year it will catch on even further! It's easy to do folks. You need to get as many people together as you can, go to a mall on one of the busiest days of the year and do your last minute shopping. One key thing you must buy, however, is something for yourself. Because, the 23rd tradition is a rather selfish one. In addition to the shopping, you must go out for lunch with your group of friends, and also take in a movie. It can be done as a rental, but going to the theatre really makes the tradition much more fun. Leave comments if you plan to do it - I'd love to hear if there are others celebrating my group's little self-determined holiday.

Mexico: Inflation ends 2015 at the lowest level on record
January 7, 2016
In December, consumer prices rose 0.41% over the previous month. The result was marginally below the 0.55% increase registered in November and overshot the 0.36% rise the market had expected. The National Statistics Institute (INEGI) reported that the monthly increase reflected higher fresh food prices, a seasonal increase in gasoline prices as well as an increase in prices for tourism services.
For this time, inflation ended well below the Central Bank's target of 3.0%. Inflation fell to 2.1% in December (November: 2.2%), which also marked the lowest level on record.
The closely watched core consumer prices—which exclude volatile categories such as fresh food and energy—rose 0.31% in December over the previous month, which was up from November's 0.04% increase. Core inflation inched up from 2.3% in November to 2.4% in December.
The Consensus view among analysts is that inflation will start to rise gradually in the coming months due to the fading of one-off effects related to the disappearance of long-distance tariffs and discounts on mobile phone tariffs implemented in November and December 2015. However, analysts consider that inflation will remain below the Central Bank's target, at least until Q2 2016.

This document gives you insight into two decisive sectors of today's computer science. One of them is testing, which is often associated together with the second one, automation.
Nowadays it is not uncommon for a program or a website to be developed by a single person, alone in a few days. There are plenty of other examples, where creating a software can be a long process, and it takes a lot of people, sometimes even distinct groups.
In software development there's a need to check whether the finished product, or it's parts are functioning properly, since no one wants to release or use faulty software and also the sooner you find an error in a process, the lesser the chance of your work being useless.
As stated above, testing is an indispensable part of computer science, which is independent from the creators and their goals. It should be viewed as an integral part of the development process.
Testing, however mandatory it is, can become a monotonous task. Making sure, that a unit works as intended is often necessary, even when that unit is untouched. For example that unit might manage other parts, or it is controlled by other, newly created or modified elements.
Automated testing makes it easier for us to make sure, that the parts we inspected before still work as expected.
My task was to create an Excel based framework, that helps us test websites in an automated and universal way. In my thesis, I will present in detail both the potential of said framework and it's internal functions.

If you've seen Netflix's Queer Eye, you know Antoni Porowski as the food guy. Every episode of the show, he teaches a helpless person how to make gourmet grilled cheese or fancy guacamole to much online fanfare. However, what viewers don't get to see during teary-eyed binge-watch marathons is that Antoni could take over Bobby Berk's spot as head of design. He casually drops names like Karl Springer, Charles Hollis Jones, and Paul Evans and—with a background in art history—calls American and Italian furniture design from the '50s and '60s one of his "many obsessions." He not only is a whiz in the kitchen (and at the bar, as seen in his partnership with Cointreau liquor) but also seriously knows his stuff. Despite skyrocketing to instant fame and serving as the subject of mass adoration, the 34-year-old chef lives in a humble studio apartment in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, with Joey Krietemeyer, who happens to be the art director at 1stdibs, so you can see how Porowski indulges his obsession. Next step might be getting more drawer and counter space in his kitchen. Read below for all the details of Porowski's space-saving tips, go-to barware, and ranking of the Fab Five as entertainers.
Architectural Digest: First things first: You live in a studio apartment. How do you entertain?
Antoni Porowski: [laughs] It's hard. The first big piece that I bought was a vintage Knoll Saarinen table with the Calacatta marble, a classic tulip that I've always wanted to have. We have George Nelson chairs that go around it that are the woven ones, and we reupholstered it in a nice velvet. We fit up to six chairs around the table, so that's it for entertaining, and when we do cocktails, then it's more like 10–12 people.
AD: What about your kitchen?
AP: My kitchen is limited at best. I have one drawer. But I make do with what I have; it's taught me to be super efficient in terms of how I clean and how I put things away. I have to clean as I go because I tend to be on the messy side.
AD: Do you have any tips and tricks for keeping things organized?
AP: Learn about your kitchen, learn where everything is. Practice mise en place, which is "put in place" in French, literally. It's what chefs use in every restaurant, and it's setting everything up so that when you start cooking you can have everything at your disposal. When you're entertaining, and I still haven't accomplished this because I'm always stuck in the kitchen, but spend enough time actually with your guests. It allows you to chill with your friends and be an actual normal human as opposed to being in the kitchen cooking all the time.
AD: What would your dream kitchen look like?
AP: My dream kitchen would have a massive island with some beautiful slab of stone, a huge fridge, possibly even a walk-in—I just want it to be a plethora of fruits and veggies. I would have a nice bar area too. When I want friends to come over, I want them to leave full and tipsy and satiated. I just want everyone to feel like they're taken care of and they never want to leave. I just love spoiling people with food and drink. It's my jam.
AD: What essential tools should everyone have?
AP: I have my classic braiser from Le Creuset that's a beautiful robin's egg color, which I've had for ages. It's starting to get a nice brown, used color on the bottom, which I love. I make everything in there from pasta sauces to searing a filet or Tomahawk or pork tenderloin; it's my pride and joy and the best thing to have in the kitchen.
AD: What about stocking a bar cart?
AP: We have a bar cart and we have some beautiful Ralph Lauren herringbone and chevron glasses, which are really sturdy and solid. I like to make margaritas in that stemware; often they're served in the classic glasses with the stem, but I like something that's a little more solid, and the thicker crystal keeps the drink cool. So I have those, a bottle of Cointreau, bottles of tequila, vodka, gin—all the clear liquors are good to have for any of your guests. Some white and some red wine. And my trick is that I get sodas in the mini cans—the baby ones that are even smaller than the regular kind—and keep them in the fridge because the fizz tends to go out in the bottles, and it's just less that's wasted.
AD: Any other space-saving tips?
AP: For every new thing that I buy, I have to throw something out. I love my kitchen gimmicks; I have a pasta machine because I don't have the counter space to actually make fresh pasta. I have a juicer, a juice press, a food processor. So the next time I get something I'm going to have to get rid of one of my babies, and I don't even want to take that on right now.
AD: So out of the Fab Five, who has the best home?
AP: You know what, I'm Canadian, and we tend to be humble, but I'm not going to be. I love my home. We have a massive fig tree and two birds-of-paradise and a big banana tree, and I just love how my home is my sanctuary. When I come home after a long day of work, it's where I want to be.
AD: Who is the best entertainer?
AP: Jonathan [Van Ness], only because of his energy. You could basically take him into a morgue and it would end up being a celebration of life—that's just the energy that he brings to any circumstance; he has that magic. I haven't indulged in Jonathan's culinary adventures—he's a very big fan of Postmates—so I don't know if he'd be the best entertainer, but he's certainly the life of the party.
AD: Who is the best bartender?
AP: It would probably have to be Bobby [Berk]. He's more of a wine drinker, but I feel like Bobby would just know. Karamo [Brown] drinks Coke, Jonathan loves a margarita but doesn't know how to make one, and Tan [France] is more of a chamomile or an Earl Grey tea type. I have yet to have one of Bobby's cocktails, but I have faith. I can make a mean cocktail, though.
AD: Who is the best baker?
AP: Tan can bake me off of the show. He loves his sweets. I was in Guadalupe, and he came on a family trip with my father and my stepmom. It's a French island, and every morning he requested to go to a bakery and eat chocolate-filled croissants in the Caribbean in, like, 110-degree weather.
AD: Who is the biggest perfectionist?
AP: If I was posing for a photo, Karamo would come over and tweak my shirt and be like, 'No, you need to put your chin out more, babe.' Or, 'You need to work on your angles and stick your foot out this way.' He can't help himself; he's like Kris Jenner.

What Happens During Colonic Hydrotherapy
When you book your colonic hydrotherapy treatment at Vitality Centre® Dublin, you will be asked if you have any medical conditions.

Once you have completed a consultation form and are deemed suitable for the treatment, you will be given a disposable robe to wear and an opportunity to get ready. You will be shown a fresh tube which will be opened on front of you in the room. You will then be shown how to "get up" on the Vitality Living Method™ system. You can choose to insert the tube yourself. It must be noted that the tube is less than 1.5 inches and just less than 1 cm in diamenter.

You will be given a probiotic after the treatment as a matter of course. You will also be recommended to take a course of probiotics to replace and restore good bacteria in the bowel.
After the treatment, you will normally feel lighter, more positive and less bloated. The organs of your colon are empty relieving you instantly from the discomfort of trapped gas, impacted fecal matter and years of toxicity possibly trapped in your body. You can return to your daily activities. For those who have severely impacted colons or acute IBS, you may require up to 3 treatments to fully alleviate the discomfort. Therefore some people will experience cramping for a few days after colonic hydrotherapy. This signals that you need to have another treatment as soon as you can. It may also mean that you have dietary IBS and should book a consultation for nutritional therapy at Vitality Centre® Dublin where you willl be provided with the Fodmaps Medical IBS diet plan.The Vitality Living Method™ Of Colonic Hydrotherapy on GMTV

An aspect of 2046 that's always confounded and fascinated me is how Tony Leung spoke Cantonese while Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi spoke Mandarin. Or really just scenes where two parties in a conversation are speaking to each other in essentially different languages. I have always always wondered why or what the point of it is, because I'm sure it's not just that that's what the actors' native dialects are (I am almost certain Tony Leung can manage the few lines of Mandarin his role would've required, however feeble the attempt might have been).
I never looked this up, of course, because, actually it never occurred to me that I could do that until just now when I thought about writing this post.
So, but, anyway, yesterday was a friend's birthday and a guy from our section posted on her wall in Hebrew (birthday girl is Chinese, I assume he said something like happy birthday), and she replied thank you in Chinese. This made me think of this schema of communication which sounds so disjointed. Then it occurs to me that this may not even come up for a non-Chinese speaker, though, the dialects truly are so distinct that I think it should be fairly apparent to anyone watching Wong Kar Wai (assuming you're not just a fetishist).
But so what if it's not an issue for anyone else? What if people could really communicate like that? There is no language barriers, everyone just understands every nuance of every other language.
Although, the neutralizing effect of removing language barriers would probably also just remove these nuances. There would also be no native language, which I can't even imagine. Man, is that how monolingual Americans feel? Native language and only language; ride or die.
So then, why 2046?

Roberto Cuellar knows the Laredo Independent School District in Texas like a native. That's because he is. Cuellar not only sees the school meal program at Laredo ISD as the person in charge—he's director of child nutrition services—but also as a customer because he went to Laredo schools growing up.
"It gives me goosebumps visiting some of the schools, especially J.C. Martin Elementary, the one I attended—that's one I really want to get a salad bar!" he laughs.
Salad bars are very big in Laredo ISD since Cuellar introduced them several years ago. In fact, they have been so successful that Laredo won the Produce Excellence in Foodservice award last year in the K-12 school category from the United Fresh Produce Association.
All middle and high schools, as well as six of the 20 elementary sites, in Laredo have salad bars, and the goal is to have one in every school.
Cuellar got an indication of the openness of Laredo student to salad bars from his menu advisory committees, which have student representation from all district schools, and from his annual Food Expo Extravaganzas, where students taste test potential new menu items for the coming year.
"Through these student-driven committees, salad bars came into play because they were asking for more ways to spice up the vegetables in the menus," Cuellar recalls.
Currently, all middle and high schools, as well as six of the 20 elementary sites, have salad bars.
"One of my goals is to have all schools with a salad bar," Cuellar says. "I'm pushing for it and I'm very optimistic that it's going to happen."
The bars have not only fruits and vegetables but proteins like chicken, cheese sticks, tuna salad and cottage cheese. Having variety is critical, Cuellar maintains.
"We don't want the same-old-same-old cafeteria stuff, because I know when I was younger I knew the menu left and right because it was [always] the same thing. If you only have the same things every day, it will turn students off because they want to see something different, so we change things a bit—not too much, but some."
He says certain staples like cucumbers and carrots will always be available, but other items vary, even to the point of putting something like half a tuna salad sandwich on the bar once a week as the protein option. Cuellar also has a goal of putting some sort of exotic vegetable item such as spaghetti zucchini or tri-colored carrots on the salad bars twice a month beginning this spring. New or exotic items are always promoted with signage, posters and mentions on the monthly menu calendar.
Nutrition Service Director Roberto Cuellar is passionate about promoting fresh, healthy foods in the high-poverty district where himself went to school as a child.
Cuellar also pays attention to how his salad bars are organized. For example, protein items always go toward the front (once, when he tried placing it at the end, student lined up at that end as a matter of habit, he recalls).
Color is also a significant consideration. "We mix it up a bit, making sure our salad bars are colorful because color makes a big difference in everybody's eyes," Cuellar says, adding that there has to be a variety of hues. "You can't have all green, it just won't work," he observes.
Fruits especially help add color but some shades, such as brown and white, just tend to be turnoffs, at least on their own, he adds. He cites white asparagus as an example, noting that he once taste tested it with his own son at home and while the child did somewhat reluctantly eat it, he has doubts that a white vegetable will draw much interest in his cafeterias.
Maintenance and replenishment are carefully addressed with runners who are stationed at the bars to keep them tidy and to refill bins during serving periods.
"We never want to have a compartment empty," Cuellar emphasizes. "I always tell my people, 'If it's empty it means they are eating it,' so you want to make sure it's always there for them to take."
Promotion of his cafeteria salad bars can get pretty creative. In the elementary schools, there's a mascot called Henry the Health Charger, "superhero of salad bars." Henry is there every time a school rolls out a salad bar to help introduce it to kids and to tout its benefits and its appeal. It seems to be working: Cuellar proudly notes that vegetable consumption tends to double shortly after a salad bar debuts at a school.
Promotion even extends to the department trucks that deliver product from the warehouse to the school sites. Truck wraps proclaim slogans about the department's nutrition message, especially about its emphasis on fresh produce and the salad bars.
Elementary schools tend to get the bulk of the promotional effort to push salad bars because they offer a chance to mold taste for young palates before lasting habits are formed.
At the secondary school sites, there is a little more latitude for individual choice, but the salad bars are always there and presented as attractively and temptingly as possible. They are one of several choices—all very healthy—in the high schools, where a food court-style service format also includes options like a deli line, a Mexican line and an international line.
Cuellar estimates on average about a quarter to a third of high school lunch participants utilize the salad bar either as the primary choice or for a side to an entrée from one of the other stations.
The salad bar selections are closely monitored to reflect student preferences. One good way Cuellar says he found to ensure continued interest from his young customers is to listen to the student advisory committee suggestions and follow through with adding those items if feasible because then the advisory committee members can then act as ambassadors to promote the newly added item to their peers.
"If you give them a sense of belonging, a feeling that they are listened to, it makes a big difference," Cuellar offers.
With more than 98 percent of the district's 24,000 students qualifying for free or reduced-price school meals under federal guidelines, Laredo ISD is a completely Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program where all students get free school meals.
Cuellar has been the district foodservice director for the past seven years after starting with Laredo ISD a dozen years ago as a menu planner.

Sony Antes Up $1.5 Million to Settle DRM Suits
Dec 21, 2006 10:00 AM PT
Sony BMG on Tuesday settled lawsuits with consumers in Texas and California whose computers were infected with spyware hidden on CDs.
The attorneys general of both states filed lawsuits last year charging the music giant with unfair business practices and violations of anti-spyware statutes.
Under the terms of the settlement, each state will receive US$750,000 in damages and legal fees. Sony will also refund up to $175 each to consumers in Texas and California who paid to have the spyware, which left computers vulnerable to hackers, removed from their computers.
Sony must also destroy any existing CDs embedded with the problematic digital rights management (DRM) technology, continue working to withdraw those CDs from the marketplace, and submit to independent, third-party monitoring of any software-enhanced music CDs for the next five years.
Sony manufactured more than 12.6 million CDs with two kinds of DRM software between January 2005 and November 2005.
Privacy a Top Priority
Both attorneys general pledged privacy protection to their citizens.
"Texans deserve to be protected from harmful, hidden files that threaten their privacy or the integrity of their computer systems," said Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott. "Our first-in-the-nation action against Sony BMG shows that consumer privacy will be vigorously protected."
California Attorney General Bill Lockyer echoed Abbott's stance: "Companies that want to load their CDs with software that limits the ability to copy music should fully inform consumers about it, not hide it, and make sure it doesn't inflict security vulnerabilities on computers."
Consumers will have 180 days to file a refund claim. Refund claims must be submitted in a form available on Sony BMG's Web site, and must include a description of the harm done to their computers and documentation of repair expenses.
Bad Memories
Sony's trouble started about 13 months ago, when SophosLabs detected a Trojan horse that exploited the controversial software.
Through the process of investigation, it was discovered that Sony failed to disclose in the outer packaging the presence of the unannounced software, which was loaded on consumers' computers without their knowledge or consent when they played the CDs.
Sony also failed to adequately inform consumers about "enhancement" software placed on certain CD discs. The enhanced CDs, when inserted into computers, allowed Sony to communicate via the Internet with the user's IP address, which in turn permitted the company to send unsolicited advertisements to the consumer's PC.
The music giant initially denied that its anti-piracy program presented a security risk, issuing a statement that said it would "reexamine all aspects of our content protection initiative to be sure that it continues to meet our goals of security and ease of consumer use."
The company also said it would offer exchanges to consumers who purchased the DRM software-laden discs. The Texas and California lawsuits forced the issue.
Should DRM Go Away?
The Sony fiasco is further evidence that DRM needs to get the old heave-ho, according to Inside Digital Media Senior Analyst Phil Leigh. However, music industry executives would first have to admit they were wrong before a paradigm shift could occur.
"Music industry executives won't abandon DRM until they can find a face-saving justification," Leigh told TechNewsWorld. "The industry will present it in a way that makes it look like it's their idea rather than an admission of any mistake."
Ultimately, DRM will go by the wayside, he concluded.

MADONNA - Confessions Tour
People, my life has changed. Madonna has gone and topped herself AGAIN. What a wonderful, fun, multi-media, dance concert Ms. Ciccone has put together. I took Mr. Adam to see the "Queen of the Dancefloor" last night and I must shout out to the world "Long live the Queen!" Her show which was scheduled to start at 8pm really started at 9pm. But oh, it was SO worth the wait. First off, I must tell you that I was warned ahead of time that Madonna Louise Ciccone does not allow any air conditioning during her performance. So by the time her two hours of exuberant dance music were over, we (the audience) were soaked. So I forewent my fabulous sparkly outfit, and wore shorts and a t-shirt with flip flops, a very smart move.
Her show was impressive, I truly felt like I not only got my money's worth but a peek at what is coming into style in terms of design and media. Also, the costumes for the show were great. She (as well as her dancers) were mostly in black, but also had on her Confessions on a Dancefloor's various shades of magentas & purples. Her band consisted of 4 musicians and 2 backup singers. She danced and sang the night away. Madonna performed most of her latest CD Confessions on a Dancefloor as well as some of her older hits. I can't begin to pick which number was my favorite. But some stand outs were "Like a Virgin"- where she pole dances on a leather saddle set up to move like a carousel horse. It was great. Also her rousing rendition of "Music" set to the song "Disco Inferno" - it was astounding. Lastly, I must mention her performance of "Jump" - she was amazing and this was Mr. Adam's favorite number. I urge everyone to see this show. It was so fun that I'm sure it was either immoral, fattening or bad for me. But I don't care, I LOVE HER! Besides, how many other 48 yo women do you know that can wear a purple leotard only and look amazing?

Earlier on this year I was reflecting on how 25 years could have passed since my frontline time on a British aircraft carrier in the Royal Navy. From the eastern seaboard of North America, to Operation Desert Storm & the fjords of Scandinavia I had a fantastic time in an incredible team environment. Even though my job was as a weapons tech on the Sea Harrier jets, I was always impressed how we successfully completed Replenishment at Sea (RASing). During these operations we would take onboard fuel, parts, equipment, food, & most importantly mail. In a time before texts & emails this was your only contact with friends & family.
How we brought together an aircraft carrier & a logistics vessel in the middle of the Atlantic on a given day, at a given time was quite impressive. While this happened the 2 ships were less than 100ft apart & connected by lines & fuel hoses. Just seconds separated success and failure. Consummate professionalism & courage were needed by all involved to see the task successfully completed.
Now as a logistics professional I have a renewed respect for the planning, preparation & communication that would have been needed weeks in advance to successfully execute these operations. At Trinet our team strives to apply the same levels of expertise in each of our divisions. We appreciate that each of our clients' shipments are as important as that letter from a loved one 1000 miles from home in the middle of the Atlantic.
As winter's icy grip finally lets go here in the great white north, it won't be long until we can again set sail on the waters of the St Lawrence Seaway and enjoy the warmth of summer.

We all know that if we want to become successful in business, we have to ensure the safe delivery of goods to our customers. If a company fails to do so, then it cannot stay longer in the industry. If you do not run a business and have to send something to your friend or family still, you need the assurance that your package will reach the destination safely. Also, you have to look at your budgets as well. Following are the types of shipment/freight:
- Air freight
- Railway freight
- Land freight
- Sea freight
Choose the type of Shipment as per your needs.
Reference: pakke.dk
What should you consider while choosing a type of shipment?
You have to send a package to your loved one. You want to send it as soon as possible. Choose any of the types of shipment according to your requirements as we have discussed earlier. But to make the process easy for you, we will take a look at a few things you should consider while selecting the shipment type in today's article.
- Cost:
First of all, you need to look at your budget. You want to send the parcel as soon as possible but do you have enough money to affords the charges for quick service. The air freight makes it possible to deliver your package overseas as quickly as possible. But keep in mind that it is a bit expensive. So before choosing the type of shipment, you should get information about the cost.
- Reliability:
Reliability is another important factor you should consider while choosing the type of shipment. You are paying the cost of delivery, so you have a right to get the reliable services. You do not expect after paying freight that your packages reach the final destination broken. The air freight is a bit expensive, but it is the most reliable type of shipment.
- Speed:
Well, besides the factors we have discussed earlier the speed of the freight also plays a significant role in deciding the type of Freight. If you want to send a package at the average Speed, then choose land shipment. You need to send a Package urgently then no doubt the air freight is the fastest among all.
Final verdict:
Once you have chosen the type of shipment, then you have to find out whether you will be able to track the package or not. Today the shipping companies have become advanced, and they provide the tracking facility to their clients. Also make sure that your package is insured so that if something happens during the transit, you could get compensation for the loss. Before sending the package pack it correctly. If you are transferring something of delicate nature, then you have to pay more attention towards the packing.
In short, the freight forwarding or shipment makes it easy to send goods from one place to another. You do not need to bother, and your package reaches the final destination.

If nothing else, the first half against the Bengals should have served as a giant wake up call for everybody associated with the Jaguars.
"We played pretty bad at every position. When you play bad, you don't score a lot of points," quarterback Blake Bortles said in the second half.
Players, coaches, front office people and even fans who have been full of optimism had that tempered a bit by many of the same mistakes that have plagued the team in the last three years.
A reminder: it is still preseason.
But against a perennial playoff team, the Jaguars turned it over, missed assignments on defense, and had 14 yards of total offense midway through the second quarter.
And oh by the way, they were down 14-0.
When it was first team vs. first team, the Jaguars were no match for the Bengals, getting manhandled at the line of scrimmage and outsmarted in the field. If Gus Bradley was looking at this game as a "fact finding" situation, what he found out is that his team has a lot of work to do.
Early in the week Bradley said having the game on s Sunday night in front of a national TV audience would give him a chance to see how his players reacted to that spotlight. When they kicked it off, the Jaguars, unlike the first two-preseason games, looked tentative and a step slow.
Andy Dalton and the Bengals turned a TJ Yeldon fumble in the first quarter quickly into a touchdown. Three plays, twenty-two yards and it was 7-0. Their next drive, after a Jaguars punt, chewed up 8:57 on the clock and ended in another Cincinnati TD, 14-0 Bengals. The Jaguars looked outmanned up front and were out of place on defense consistently. If Bradley and the coaching staff were asking the players to do something different (i.e. play a base defense) it might be explainable. But teams do prepare and game plan for the third preseason game much like the regular season so it's hard not to just see the first half as not much better than anything we've seen in the past three years.
Simple things kept the Jaguars from having any success.
Hays Pullard was so excited to be in the game as the fullback, he forgot (or wasn't coached to) to report to the ref as an eligible receiver his touchdown catch was negated.
That's just basic football stuff that can't be ignored.
That was followed by a couple of miscues that led to a field goal from Sam Ficken that bounced off the left upright and in for three points. Ficken and punter Ryan Quigley were in the game for starters Brad Nortman and Jason Myers. Both were auditioning for other teams in the league.
As the defending division champs and a 2015 playoff team, the Bengals are good, not great. But Bortles was right when he said they were the perfect team to go up against in the third preseason game on national television. Tough, big and solid, they exposed the Jaguars starters as "not ready for prime time" yet. It might not mean it's time to panic but it should get everybody's attention.
If the Jaguars are still in the building and learning process, hoping to be a competitive team in the division, the Bengals are several years in front of them, already thinking about a deep playoff run.
From the look on Gus' face on the sideline, he's not going to have too much good to say about this one when it comes to the starters. His thought that anybody thinking "I got this" is the enemy of all success will be a theme this week.
They'll cut 15 players on Monday and give the second and third teamers a chance to start and make an impression on Thursday in Atlanta. While the starters won't play for either side, that game, as is the case with the final preseason game, will feature fierce competition with guys trying to make an impression and stay in the league. After that, they'll cut again to 53 and look to sign up to as many as 10 players to the practice squad.
Everybody should be happy it's just preseason. If it is a wake up call, the bell is sounding loud and clear.

James Holmes has been spared execution for the July 2012 theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado that killed 12 people and wounded 70. Since the jury could not reach a unanimous decision to apply the death penalty, he was sentenced Friday to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Holmes' trial began in April and featured highly emotional testimony from survivors of the attack, who described seeing loved ones die after Holmes opened fire in a showing of The Dark Knight Rises at the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora. The judge eventually ordered that therapy dogs be made available to witnesses and other participants in the proceedings to help ease the trauma. Holmes was convicted in July of 24 counts of first-degree murder, 140 counts of attempted first-degree murder, and one illegal explosives charge.
After reading the verdicts, the judge thanked the members of the jury for their lengthy service and sent them out of the room, then announced that the court will formally impose the sentence on Holmes following a three-day sentencing hearing. That proceeding is now scheduled to begin Aug. 24.
