Read an Excerpt
I'll never be anything special.
I grew up in a middle-class Jewish family in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, a small town in Westchester County not far from Manhattan, but far enough away from the city that Manhattan always seemed like an exotic and magical place. We were the classic 1970s family of four. My father, Barry, worked as a pharmacist; my mother, Jill, was a stay-at-home mom; I was their firstborn; and my sister, Jennifer, came along just fourteen months after I did.
A few years ago, an interviewer for a parenting magazine asked me, "What's the best trick your mother ever taught you?"
"How to heat up a Hungry Man for dinner!" was my reply.
The person from whom I did get unconditional love was my father's mother, my Grandma Sylvia Lake. Doesn't the name sound as if it should belong to a famous person? It just belongs in lights:
Grandma Sylvia was nothing short of a movie star to me. She looked like a cross between Patricia Neal and Gena Rowlands—all rosy cheeks and lipstick and glasses—the ultimate glamorous matriarch. Her hair was always "done," her jewelry always big. She seemed to give off some otherworldly light, since she positively glowed with energy and vibrance. Even though I was short and rotund, and the details of my everyday life were often gray and average, Grandma Sylvia taught me to look at the world through a rainbow-colored prism. (To a big thinker like Grandma Sylvia, rose-colored glasses are for amateur optimists.) Grandma Sylvia was always telling me that I was the smartest, the funniest, the prettiest. She called me "the most talented girl in the world," even when all I could do was half a cartwheel.
Grandma Sylvia shared her love of the arts with my sister, Jennifer, and me, taking us to the theater in Manhattan almost every weekend. I can still recall every spectacle I ever witnessed with her—from the opera to the ballet, Annie to Pirates of Penzance. I remember the way my heartbeat quickened as the house lights began to dim, the pit orchestra weaved together the first phrases of the overture, and the burgundy velvet curtain started to twitch, then glide its way open to reveal the magic behind it.
I can still conjure up the cozy feeling of grasping my grandmother's elegant, well-manicured hand with my squishy, miniature mitt as I settled into the seat. Going to the theater offered all the magic of my imagination except I didn't have to close my eyes. And though Grandma Sylvia and I were part of the audience, she always made me believe I was the star of the show.
My friends often tease me that I see the world through the eyes of a Disney princess, that I open my curtains each morning to savor the sweet smell of citrus trees and the music of songbirds. They're right—I kind of do.
No disrespect to Mr. Disney, but I inherited my sunny outlook from Grandma Sylvia, not some storybook princess. It was probably her positivity, both genetic and learned, that got me through her death from breast cancer in 1978, when she was only fifty-eight years old, and I was nine.
I still think of her every day because she was the person who enabled me to see the beauty in myself.

This is a thoughtful and insightful read. I recommend it highly!
I enjoyed reading this book and finding out more about her life. Previous review indicated too much about her weight issues. Well that it was an issue with her and it is her biography.
Wow, I can't believe I am the first to write a review. This book was O.K. I felt a little restless in the middle of the book as Ricki spoke a lot about her weight struggles but finding love again after her divorce. It starts off with her childhood and the difficult relationship she had with her mother and then goes on about how her career got started and from there a lot about her weight issues. I actually am a fan of Ricki Lake but I feel this book was somewhat tedious and was not really worth the money. I only gave it three stars because I would have liked her to have elaborated more on the positive instead of the negative and didn't feel the book was long enough. Too much about her weight issues!
Based on the cover jacket, I'll be skipping this one. You couldn't airbrush or photoshop a picture of Ricki Lake enough to make her look attractive and healthy. I am really not trying to be mean, by she is the last person to give advice on healthy and beauty. Guess she is cashing in on her "b" list celebrity status.

Hit the small thin tree early on the right and the disc shot across the trail on the left. Didn't seem like it should be a big deal to find but we couldn't spot it. Has the name Ken and my phone listed in two spots under the rim. Not sure how worn the writing is though. It reminded me to go over all my discs when I got home.

GM's Fuel-Saving Engine Technology Becomes Reality

General Motors claims that Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) provides up to 15 percent greater fuel economy than a comparable, non-HCCI engine by radically altering the combustion process. In general terms, the pressure and heat within an HCCI engine's cylinders are used to ignite the air/fuel mixture without the aid of a traditional spark-generated flame [...]

Blog Has Relocated!
Monday, February 18, 2013
Holiday Weekend
Well, hello friends! How's your 3 day weekend going? Mines fab! I'm not doing anything considerably blog worthy, no fancy travels or any of that adventure, BUT we did find a gem of a Mexican restaurant (our new fave!) The hubs actually declared yesterday that he could eat all his meals there... Pat's not one to give that declaration away freely. Also, we (my parents and I, while Pat's locked away in the guest room studying his pants off, while we (my mom and I) giggle and eat popcorn and drink wine) started a new show ( i know right?!?! settle down!) it's called Parenthood, and we're loving it. I mean it's still not Friday Night Lights, but it's a damn good rebound!
Also, what's making this holiday weekend extra exciting and has got us all twitchy is that Pat is taking the California Bar in 8 EIGHT days!!! Oh my, holy moly, it's sooooooo close, I'm having heart palpitations!! I cannot believe it's 8 days away!! It's emotional, obviously I am SO excited to have my husband back and to get to do things again, like see movies, and go on drives, and just have fun without having to think,
"this is time you could be studying for the most important test of your life, why are we doing _______"
(fill in the blank!) But, part of me is a little bit sad because this past month we've gotten to just be home together, no leaving for work or school, just us, me working from home and him studying, and Carlita napping (seriously
day!) It's been really nice (for me at least ;) I'm not the one studying) so a little tiny part of me wishes I could just freeze this moment we have together, because it will most likely be the last time we ever have something like it until....
, then the other part of me is so excited for Pat to annihilate this test from hell and to move on with our lives! So it's been emotional, but I'm enjoying each part of this little journey for all it's unique little silver linings. So sorry for the mush :) But please send prayers and good juju his way, we'll take all we can get :)

[seriously my heart is breaking writing this!
(wish I was kidding!)

In the meantime, I will be babysitting them, drooling over them, petting them, coveting them and pretending they'll never leave me... Seriously, I am trying to not get attached, but it's way too late for that crap! It's already to the point of bad break up status! When they go I know I am going to end up alone, watching vampire diaries with a pint of ben and jerry's, online shopping for their rebound! Yes, I am being that pathetic, but if you got to wear these beautes for a day, you would understand! Hashtag// don't judge

Bean Head
Is it just me or are the best outfits sometimes the ones that we have no intention of ever wearing together, the ones that end up spilling our closets guts all over the bedroom as we search for that
piece that just ties it all together
, if you ask my husband that's every outfit!)
, the ones that cost 3 bucks at the thrift store, the ones that involve our friends shirt that she let you borrow light years ago, you know the ones I'm talking about, well this was one of those :) One thing this winter has taught me about myself is that I am a fan of hats... beanies, Indiana Jones, baseball, fedora, you name it, I'll wear it! If it means I can go
one more day
without washing my grimy a$$ hair, I'll take it! I need to start collecting my summer hats, because just like winter, it will be here before we know it! Seasons always sneak up on me!
Well, hopefully this is one of my last outfit posts taken on my iPhone... I am
to teach myself how to use my brother- in-laws camera he so generously lent us :)
(Thanks Matty!)
I am the most camera illiterate person apparently... you would think working with a photographer that I would have some clue by now, but... I don't! I think I need to stop pressing buttons, that would probably be a real good start for me! It's a Nikon D40, if anyone has any tips on settings, or basically any tips at all, please share!

Out of this World
I am such a fan of leggings right now... especially nature, universe pattern leggings! I saw a pair that had a Lake Tahoe scene on them and oh my.... they must be added to my collection! Gimme!! I am not entirely 100% ready for warm weather yet... I know, I know, I am probably the only person in the universe that feels that way, it may also be because I live in San Diego, so "cold" weather here isn't exactly as brutal as other places, but I'm just not quiet ready to surrender my "cold" weather uniform of leggings and a bulky sweater! Once I find a way to make leggings work for a spring and summer wardrobe I'll join in on the wishing for warm weather wagon, but for right now I'm ok with a little brisk in my beehive ;) Actually, now that I think about it the day we took these photos it was sooooooo cold and I was screaming at the Hubs to get them over with because I was miserable, and maybe also because I was posing in front of a busy Target in Chula Vista and it felt so incredibly awkward... taking outfit pics may be one of the most uncomfortable things, but hey, some outfits are just too good
to document, right?!!? Oh, the sacrifices!!! ;)
You know what I wish I was doing today... seeing a movie at the theater! Bring on the buttery popcorn, bring on the sour candy, bring on the large diet coke! Oh mannnnn, come to mama!! I haven't seen a movie in the theater for a few months now, since my movie date is studying for the bar... and I'm just not brave enough to go solo... but only 2 more weeks and I'll have my date back! Don't know if I can wait that long though... any movie suggestions?

Anyway, I have been keeping myself busy, traveling around working on photo shoots while the Hubs studies his buns off so one day I can be a professional gold digger ;) Gosh, talk about a swanky set up!

Do We Need a Christmas Joke to Laugh?
Christmas is a time to rejoice, relax and party. If we go accomplished any accustomed face on Xmas day, we ambition him or her "Merry Christmas." Why do we say these words? Simply because we ambition to accurate our greetings to those we know. In this way we ambition that they can absorb the advancing canicule with happiness. But why do we ambition so on the Christmas Day? It is because the day is special. On 25th December, Lord Christ was born. This is the sole acumen why we all rejoice and appropriately ambition beatitude in turn.
But the catechism comes, if will this day become blessed for you? There are abounding affidavit of accent a part of people. This abandoned will not acquiesce us to rejoice this appropriate day. That's why we charge jokes to be absurd during Yule, which will affluence the ambient and accomplish us laugh. There are several appropriate jokes that are meant abnormally for Christmas. These Christmas jokes will absolutely be able to amuse our funny bone. While cogent a Christmas joke, you can accomplish it amusing by cutting funny dresses.
Now, let us accede an archetype of such a antic accompanying to the Lord:
Joke 1: A adjudicator asked an accused, "What is your fault?" The guy replied "I was alone arcade sir. My alone accountability was that I was a bit aboriginal for shopping. The adjudicator was surprised. He asked surprisingly, "Is that illegal? I didn't apperceive that. By the way, how aboriginal was it that you were shopping?" The accused replied, "A bit too aboriginal I accept as the abundance was yet to accessible then."
Joke 2: Bob and Billy had a dream of architecture an ice skating amphitheatre in their pasture. So, afterwards abundant ado, they were able to complete it. One day a attend was traveling through the abode with his assemblage of sheep. As the way was demography him a lot of time, he absitively to yield a shortcut. So, he entered the affirmation with his sheep. Once he started to cantankerous the ice skating rink, his assemblage of sheep got afraid and banned to move. This is if the attend started affairs them. If Bob looked at them from absolutely a distance, he alleged Billy and told him "Have you apparent that man? He is affairs absolute over that ice."
Joke 3: Afore Xmas, two brothers went to their grandmother's abode and spent the night there. During night, just afore traveling to bed, both of them knelt down for prayer. At the time of praying, they bankrupt their eyes. While befitting eyes shut, one of the brothers said prayers audibly allurement Santa Claus to accompany a Will for him. In addition, he aswell asked for a new bike and a telescope. While one brother was praying aloud, the added brother asked him to adjure agilely because Lord is not deaf. Listening to this, the added brother said, "Yes, I apperceive brother that God is not deaf, but Grandma is deaf. Isn't it?"
These are some of the examples of Christmas jokes.

In negotiations between Obama and Republicans for a grand budget bargain, chained CPI appears to be back on that table. I explained chained CPI last month. In short, it is a method of calculating the increases in Social Security benefits, as well as benefits for disabled veterans and the families of soldiers killed in action, that offsets increases in the cost of living with decreases in the quality of living. Over time, it is a substantial decrease in the benefits you have earned and are earning by paying your premiums throughout your working lives. Chained CPI is NOT an option! Fortunately, Bernie Sanders, and my fellow Oregonian, Peter DeFazio are leading the opposition to it.
As politicians in Washington discuss proposals to reduce the federal deficit, one of the ideas that keeps coming up is known as the "chained CPI" or consumer price index, a new way to calculate cost-of-living adjustments to Social Security.
This method assumes people will make lower-cost choices to offset any reductions in their Social Security adjustments, said Lisa Lamkins, advocacy director for AARP Wisconsin. However, she added, that doesn't reflect reality.
"Seniors in particular aren't able to make lower-cost substitutions for items that they buy," she said, "like prescription drugs and health care."… [emphasis added]
Inserted from <Public News Service>
After ten years, annual benefits for current and future seniors, veterans, and military survivors will be hundreds less under chained CPI, by saying that decreases our quality of life are not increases in the cost of living.
Here is Bernie Sanders take on it. I seldom lift an entire article from a website, but in this case, I'm sure Bernie will not mind.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today introduced legislation cosponsored by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to strengthen Social Security by making the wealthiest Americans pay the same payroll tax that nearly everyone else already pays.
Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) introduced the companion bill in the House. He joined Sanders at a news conference in the Capitol to discuss their bill to bolster Social Security without raising the retirement age or lowering benefits.
"Social Security is the most successful government program in our nation's history. Through good times and bad, Social Security has paid out every benefit owed to every eligible American," Sanders said. "The most effective way to strengthen Social Security for the future is to eliminate the cap on the payroll tax on income above $250,000 so millionaires and billionaires pay the same share as everyone else."
Reid said, "I want to thank Sen. Sanders for his outstanding leadership in support of Social Security and the millions of Americans who rely on the program. His legislation should make people think twice before assuming that the only way to strengthen Social Security is to take away benefits that seniors have earned, or raise taxes on the middle class."
DeFazio added, "Despite the hype, Social Security is not now, and never was, the cause of our deficit. Those spreading these false claims are the same people who have for years been working with Wall Street to privatize the program. We shouldn't cut benefits or try to balance the budget on the backs of seniors who have earned these benefits. We can just close a tax loophole that allows millionaires and billionaires to pay a lower percentage of their income into Social Security than everyone else."
In addition to Majority Leader Reid, the Senate measure is cosponsored by Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D.-R.I.), Al Franken (D-Minn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).
Under their legislation, those with yearly incomes of $250,000 or more would pay the same 6.2 percent payroll tax already assessed on those who earn up to $113,700 a year. Applying the Social Security payroll tax on income above $250,000 would only affect the wealthiest 1.3 percent of Americans, according to the Center for Economic and Policy Research. Social Security officials say that simple change would yield about $85 billion a year to keep the retirement program strong for at least another 50 years.
The legislation is based on a proposal that President Barack Obama made in 2008 during his first campaign for the White House. (Watch the video.)
Since it was signed into law 77 years ago, Social Security has kept millions of senior citizens, widows, widowers, orphans, and the disabled out of poverty. Before Social Security, about half of senior citizens lived in poverty. Today, less than 10 percent live in poverty and more than 55 million Americans receive retirement or disability benefits.
The most successful government program in our nation's history has not contributed to the federal deficit. It has a $2.7 trillion surplus, and it can pay out every benefit owed to every eligible American for at least the next 20 years, according to the Social Security Administration.

As usual Bernie is spot on, and the solution he proposes is the same one I have supported for years. This is also the solution Obama proposed while campaigning, when he said that he would not cut Social Security benefits, would not raise the retirement age, and would not decrease the CPI. Raise the cap!
Contact your President, Representative and Senators. Tell them all to oppose any grand bargain that includes chained CPI.

I always knew the way they computed COLA was skewed but the chained CPI is even worse. I can't imagine getting even less of an inrease than we received this year. It will be impossible to live.
You're right. It already incxreased more slowly than the costs of most necessities.
Sometimes I wonder if Bernie Sanders and a few others are the only ones who care about us common folk. It's rather depressing.
But, it makes me want to fight even harder.
…as we must!
Bernie should be the next pope 🙂 Thanks for posting this TC — I made my 3 calls — didn't know this was still on the table (chained CPI) — another help would be – those same people accepting their SSI and Medicare, who are so opposed to these programs, should forfeit these extra bucks, and m/billionaires should as well – but I can't imagine many of them are quite so "patriotic"!
LOL! YVW, Lee. Fat chance!
Chained CPI is a solution for nothing. At best it extends the time when the trust fund runs out of money, but it still runs out. And it does nothing to solve the debt or deficit "problem". SS is funded entirely from the payroll deductions and does not impact the debt or deficit.
The SS is funded entirely by the participants in SS. The long term funding shortfall can be solved entirely with an 80 cent per week per year increase in the withholding tax starting now. (Google NW Plan for Social Security for more information.) In effect, it raises the SS tax rate by 2% over 20 years so that when the trust funds runs out, the tax rate has been increased sufficiently to cover the then current SS costs. After the baby boomer bulge passes, it may be possible to reduce the rate again.
Your solution is better than chained CPI, but I still prefer raising the cap.
The problem with raising the cap is that it moves SS towards a welfare system (people paying for benefits they don't receive), and thus makes it easier for Congress to cut, change, or eliminate.
Jerry, that is already true. Only the poorest reciptents get more in benefits that they put into the system, and most of us are subsizizing their benefits by receiving less than what we put in. I don't mind.
Not really, TomCat. The benefit you get is based on what you put in, not based on need like a welfare system. The amount you get per month is based on your contribution. The more you contribute, the more you get. The limit in on the contribution, not on the benefit, like welfare. Generally, when people talk about raising the cap, they are talking about raising the contribution only, and not the upper end benefit as well.
The total amount you get back depends on how long you live. As stated in this article
The typical worker born between 1951 and 1955 at full retirement age will get back at least 17 percent more in benefits than he contributed in taxes. A worker born after 1956 will get back at least 15 percent more than he contributed."
I don't think that's indexed for inflation, Jerry. When I started paying in sirloin was well under a dollar a pound.
I just sent a letter to the White House, I had all ready contacted my senators are representative about the chained CPI> I love Bernie, wish he were my senator.
I wish Bernie were EVERYONE'S Senator – then we wouldn't be in the pickle we're in.
What Nameless said, but I am happy with Merkley. Wyden too, but less so.
I have to ask – would chained CPI be back on the table if Obama didn't agree to put it back on the table? Why would he agree to this?
I am so sick of the betrayal by our elected representatives-Some excellent questions concerning how and why chained CPI is back on the table ? The greedy crowd in Washington realyl do see the rest of us– the 47%? as fools , unable to see what is going on ??
Angie, I suspect that Obama intends to demand concessions from Republicans as major as chained CPI would be. I also suspect that he knows he won't get them, because Republican bipartisanship is an everything/nothing proposition. In the end, Republicans are seen as the ones who refuse to negotiate in good faith, and rightlty so. Whether or not my suspicians are correct, our part is to object most strenuously.
I sincerely hope you are right, Tom. But it seems to me that Obama, the leader of the majority, shouldn't have to pander quite so energetically to these minority lunatics. Let's face it, to put chained CPI back on the table is to sell us out. Frankly, the GOP base is so ignorant (I am not trying to be arrogant here) that a year from now, they'll be blaming Obama for chained CPI, and all the logic in the world will not convince them otherwise. Obama's biggest flaw, in my opinion, is his concilatory nature with the republican forces of darkness. What adds insult to injury is that in all Obama's speeches, he admits that he recognizes how harmful the GOP agenda is to this country. Why negotiate with lunatics then?
It's not that simple. Nothing is going to happen that doesn't get through the Republican House and survive Senate minority rule. If I am correct, this tactic looks ahead to 2014 and establishes in voters' minds that Democtats are trying to find solutions, while Republicand are trying to prevent them.
Well, that's true, Tom. You make a good point. We really need to get these rethuglicans out of office – fast.
Amen. Now let's hope I'm right. I'm going on instinct here.
Chained CPI is not a negotiation tool to use with the Republican/Teabaggers, it is a SELL OUT to the Greedy Old Pharts!
Even their Saint Ronnie Ray Gun stated that SS had nothing to do with the deficit, that it was completely funded by contributions. This is just another way, in essence, to tax the middle income and lower income earners, the disabled, the veterans etc. to shift the burden, to try to get blood rom a stone.
SS, Medicare and Medicaid MUST be off the table.
See my reply to Angie.
Agree 100% with this statement, Lynn.
And I hear what you're saying. But Obama needs to make sure chained CPI doesn't become the law of the land while rich parasites are still reaping tax free lifestyles.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Severity: | normal | Version: | |

Installing a new instance of Wordpress will fail to create some of the tables described in schema.php if you are running MySQL under "strict" mode. The tables affected have invalid default datetime values of "0000-00-00 00:00:00", hence the failure. This patch changes the default values to "1970-01-01 00:00:00".
To replicate the issue start MySQL in strict mode (i.e. add
sql-mode = "TRADITIONAL"
to your my.cnf and restart the MySQL server) and try to go through the install process.
I have not tested the affect this change has on normal operations after the install, save for logging in, editing, adding and deleting posts & comments - all of which appear to be fine.

Overall Good Cruise: Navigator of the Seas Cruise Review by kimlovesya
Overall Member Rating
Overall Good Cruise
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
Wish we had been more prepared for the struggle to get to the boat, we took the train which was so hectic and full of thrives and gypsies trying to rip off foreigners. Waited at the platform for like 1 hr finally for the train to come, with no notice if it was the right train. No one would help us and nothing is clearly marked and no one can speak English. Finally arrived at the Port, almost being late for the boat and took a Taxi for 20 EUROS...Embarkment was a piece of cake as it was 3:50 by this point. Got on board very quick and our luggage was brought up within 30 mins.
Cabin: We had a Junior Suite which we were very happy with , very big and lots of space.
Food: The main dinning room had great food, we did my time dining but the waiters were so annoying. Only ate there 3 times the whole trip. We did room service every day for breakfast More was always on time and pretty good. Only complaint the portion sizes were pretty small. Wasn't very impressed with the Windjammer, first the location made us sea sick and it was always packed and not very clean. Food was okay but nothing special.
Activities: didn't do any as was either not feeling well from the waves or exhausted from the excursions
Spa: Our travel agent gave us a 100.00 voucher so I had a massage, was very happy with everything :)
Service: Pretty happy with all the services and help from everyone on board
Shore Excursions: Did one in each port, and absolutely LOVED them. The Port of Calls is what made this trip not the actual cruise. Only compliant, to early and not enough time in location.
Only MAJOR compliant: I had heard a Mediterranean cruise was a calm and relaxing time at sea. However the last night they decided to speed back and we had to lie in bed from 3pm to 5am when we docked. The water was so rough and we could barley stand :( It was also very windy the whole trip so no swimming or being out on the decks. Less

Communities Fill Dental-Coverage Holes
Rather than wait for lawmakers and insurers to provide adequate coverage, some dentists and public health advocates have taken it upon themselves to try to reduce the number of ER visits for dental problems.
More and more, epidemiologists are uncovering the correlation between oral and overall health. Still, dental care is rarely included in health insurance, and when it is, there are stricter coverage limits and much higher deductibles than for other types of care. For those on Medicare or Medicaid, it's even worse.
The reasons for this lack in coverage include health insurance's evolutionary history, the differing ideologies surrounding medical and dental care and, of course, money, which insurance companies are loath to pay out for chronic and common health issues -- like bad teeth. But things are slowly changing. Along with the realization that it makes sense medically to provide oral health care, states are also finding that it makes financial sense.
In February 2012, the Pew Center on the States published a report describing the increase in emergency room visits for preventable dental conditions by low-income patients who are unable to afford routine dental care. The report stated that preventable dental conditions were the primary diagnosis in 830,590 visits to ERs nationwide in 2009 -- a 16 percent increase from 2006. A study of dental decay-related ER visits in 2006 found that treating about 330,000 cases cost nearly $110 million. Further research showed the average cost of a Medicaid enrollee's in-patient hospital treatment for dental problems was nearly 10 times more expensive than the cost of preventive care delivered in a dentist's office.
Read the March issue of Governing magazine.
Rather than wait for lawmakers and health insurance providers to address this issue, dentists and public health advocates in several communities have taken it upon themselves to try to reduce the number of people visiting the ER for dental problems. One example is Seattle's Swedish Medical Center, which has started a dental clinic that treats complicated dental problems -- mostly extractions -- that normal clinics cannot handle.
The clinic had 810 visits in 2012, operating just two days a week, says Tom Gibbon, manager of the Swedish Community Specialty Clinic. "Our dentists pulled 2,163 teeth," he says, a figure that could double this year as the clinic ramps up to five days a week. "We had one patient who went to the ER 11 times for the same tooth," he reports, because the ER isn't equipped to do extractions. "About 97 percent of these ER visits are being seen in the wrong place, but these people have no other place to go." The program's 40 volunteer dentists and oral surgeons provided the equivalent of $800,000 in typical dental office charges in 2012.
Another program, in Calhoun County, Mich., uses a unique pay-it-forward model. Forty-three volunteer dentists provide routine care to community members 200 percent below the poverty rate -- but only after the patients first volunteer with other organizations in the area. A group called the Calhoun County Community Dental Access Initiative created the program, which is administered by Community HealthCare Connections. CHC verifies that the patients perform their volunteer work at any nonprofit in the county; every four hours of service earns them $100 of treatment.
The program has given out more than $700,000 in free care, says CHC Executive Director Samantha A. Pearl. When the program began in 2007, the local ER treated 111 dental patients a month (at an average cost of around $1,500 per visit). That has decreased by about 80 percent, to about 30 patients a month. "And it has totally eliminated repeat visits to the ER," Pearl says.
While advocates and legislators hash out the possibility of adding dental care to insurance coverage, it's good to know that innovative interim solutions are improving the oral, physical and financial health of community health care.

Liam Fox's aides turned on Adam Werritty last night, describing him as a "Walter Mitty figure" who took advantage of the minister's friendship.
In a clear attempt to distance the Defence Secretary from Mr Werritty to save his political career, "friends" of Mr Fox said it was "clear that Mr Werritty was masquerading as something he was not". Mr Fox himself said last night that he was the victim of a "witch-hunt".
But, at the same time, military commanders and senior civil servants in his department warned that it was becoming untenable for Mr Fox to continue in his job. They also expressed grave concern that the Defence Secretary appeared to have used Mr Werritty as an adviser in formulating national policy.
One of the highest ranking officers in the armed forces said: "This cannot go on for much longer. We know there are other things which will come out. He is not dealing properly with his in-tray with all that's going on and we have pressing issues which need to be addressed."
The aggressive briefings by Mr Fox's advisers are particularly damaging as they echo the briefings given by Downing Street under Tony Blair about David Kelly after he committed suicide. Both made the same reference to "Walter Mitty" – a fictional character who lived in a fantasy world.
They briefed journalists: "It is clear Werritty was masquerading as something he was not. He was hanging around and popping up in places trying to be part of a group. This guy is clearly a Walter Mitty figure."
And a senior Whitehall official responded: "He is prepared to take advice from a Walter Mitty figure rather than us. There are 40,000 jobs going in defence and we have this circus going on."
The Cabinet Secretary's report on the pair's relationship, due "within days", is to be published in some form, making it more difficult to save Mr Fox should it imply that he has breached the ministerial code.

I have enjoyed reading your posts. Congratulations on the book!
Thank you Georgia, I am happy to know the information is reaching Manhattan!
Are the book images black and white or in color? The preview for the book leads me to believe the former.
The whole book is black and white, and despite the preview, the book is a paperback.

I was never one for classroom learning. It's not surprising then that I was often kicked out of class, needed tutoring in some classes just to pass and didn't go to University. But that hasn't stopped me becoming a successful entrepreneur, a common theme you'll find if you talk to enough people.
Had online learning been available to me as a high school student or Uni student however, I probably would have flourished. I did have a brain, I just didn't learn well in a traditional environment. I know only too well I am a kinaesthetic learner. I need to be hands on or else it will be a case of 'in one ear, and out the other'.
My first introduction to online learning was in 2001 when I engaged in a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course entirely online in preparation for a round the world trip where I figured teaching English could be a useful skill to have if I ever ran short of money.
This course was online modularised learning – reading key texts and then answering multi-choice as comprehension. I never met my tutor in person (though I did email them a few times when I got stuck) and I was able to motor on through the course in my lunch hours and after hours, successfully obtaining my 'bit of paper' so I could move on with my life. When I look back, i-to-I, who are still around to this day at http://www.onlinetefl.com were real pioneers in this space.
Knowing I am very interested in e-learning, recently one of my board of advisers recommended that I check out a TedX clip featuring a thought leader called Daphne Koller.
With Coursera, Daphne Koller and co-founder Andrew Ng are bringing courses from top colleges online, free, for anyone who wants to take them. Together they are challenging the top universities in the world to put their most intriguing courses online for free.
But the problem isn't only in South Africa. In many populous, and often poor countries around the world, for many the opportunity to study has been a far off and unobtainable dream. Until now.
If Daphne and her team get her away, along with the growing movement of other company's offering free or cheap courses online such as Udemy and Lynda.com, there is nothing stopping an impoverished villager in a shanty town of India accessing free education via a mobile phone, and for the first time in generations, having the opportunity to learn.
In a digital age where everything as we know it has been turned on its head, the way kindergarten aged children learn has transformed from pencil to iPads, and the way tertiary education is engaged in I predict will continue to migrate online and will make some massive social impacts.
After all if person A who is self-taught online via a free course on a mobile device shows much more knowledge and an aptitude to apply it, than person B who only went to University because they felt they had to, and Mummy & Daddy were paying anyway, which one will be more employable?We've all heard much of what you learn in your early years at University will be obsolete by the time you graduate. Curriculum's in many cases simply can't keep up with the speed of change.
A commitment to continual life-long learning is therefore key, and online learning that you can engage in anywhere, anytime or a mobile device seems to be the way forward.
We're joining the revolution and getting into online learning in a big way in 2013.
Some of our online offerings are ready to register for now.

RIM Api for simultaneous Voice and Data transfer Hi, Does BlackBerry Bold support simultaneous voice and data transfer? Do we have any RIM Api's which allows to access voice and data transfer simultaneously? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Ksen. |
3G does support simultaneous voice and data. However, so does a wifi device while connected to wifi. As for API's I'll move this to the Developer's Forum for answers. |
no need for any APIs. if it is possible the device will do it. |
Indeed. I also have the BlackBerry service on my Windows Mobile device, and when I am in a 3G coverage area, I can received emails while I am talking on the phone. Definately device and network dependant, and not API. |
