Welcome to the home of Bjurt Yurts, the most amazing new structures since the dawn of time!
What is a bjurt?A bjurt is a structure inspired by the portable crash pad used by a dude you might have heard of named Ghengis Khan. That's right, the yurt. Like a yurt, the bjurt is stable, roomy, and with a vaulted ceiling to allow heat to rise. It is also sturdy and withstands high desert winds.
But my man GK didn't have tubular steel, precision manufacturing, or an unnatural obsession with geometry and symmetry. And he was far too busy enjoying the fruits of his conquest to redesign what is almost the perfect structure.
Traditional yurts have significant redundancy. This allows them to be fabricated from the irregular materials available in nature, such as branches and hides. The downside of this redundancy is that yurts require a large amount of work to create, as well as to set up and break down.
The bjurt is a design which concentrates on the primary mechanism of the yurt, the expandable latticework wall, and distills and harnesses it as the fundamental element of a structure that transforms from a bundle of poles into a self-reinforced dome-like frame.
Unlike a yurt, a bjurt is faster to set up and smaller to store. Each flat wall is made up of a single scissors-like cross piece, and the roof poles are permanently attached at the corners. The whole structure folds up like a camp chair. This makes it quite suitable as a temporary structure for extreme camping, off-road base camps, summer shade for windy back yards, and other demanding applications.
New videos: A group of campers heading to Burning Man practice striking their 17' bjurt; bender demonstrates setting up a shower bjurt; bender sets up an experimental 12' bjurt with telescoping roof poles (part 1 and part 2).
I am bender...
...and this is my bjurt (Burning Man '07).
...and another (Freedom Fest)...
Thank you very much for stopping by. Please have a wonderful day.

About the Chimpanzee
Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives, sharing more than 98 percent of our genetic blueprint. Humans and chimps are also thought to share a common ancestor who lived some four to eight million years ago.
Chimpanzees live in social communities of several dozen animals, and can habituate themselves to African rain forests, woodlands, and grasslands.
Although they normally walk on all fours (knuckle-walking), chimpanzees can stand and walk upright. By swinging from branch to branch they can also move quite efficiently in the trees, where they do most of their eating. Chimpanzees usually sleep in the trees as well, employing nests of leaves.
Chimps are generally fruit and plant eaters, but they also consume insects, eggs, and meat, including carrion. They have a tremendously varied diet that includes hundreds of known foods.
Tool Use
Chimpanzees are one of the few animal species that employ tools. They shape and use sticks to retrieve insects from their nests or dig grubs out of logs. They also use stones to smash open tasty nuts and employ leaves as sponges to soak up drinking water. Chimpanzees can even be taught to use some basic human sign language.
Reproduction and Conservation
Females can give birth at any time of year, typically to a single infant that clings to its mother's fur and later rides on her back until the age of two. Females reach reproductive age at 13, while males are not considered adults until they are 16 years old.
Although chimps and humans are closely related, the apes have suffered much at human hands. These great apes are endangered and still threatened by bushmeat hunters and habitat destruction.

Salmon, rich in omega-3s and amino acids, is arguably one of the most nutrient rich fish. The omega-3 fatty acids work to reduce cholestorol and strengthen cardiac muscle. Lucky for us, salmon is available in virtually every supermarket and can be prepared in a variety of different and easy ways.
Recently, where your fish comes from is something that more consumers are interested in. Farmed salmon has been reported to be contaminated with PCBs and other toxins in addition to its questionable environmental implications of waste. While not all farms carry these risks, there is no way to know what you're getting at the fish counter if it is labeled "farmed."
Because of this, more people are buying wild-caught salmon, more than 50 percent of which is coming from Alaska's 34,000-mile coastline. Alaska is the only state in the nation that has conservation laws in its constitution to protect the environment and sustainability of their resources. This ensures that safe fishing practices are being followed, such as the regulated numbers of wild salmon that are allowed to be fished.
There are 5 different types of Alaskan salmon varying in size, color, and flavor.
The least abundant and largest, Alaska King or Chinook Salmon, has a red flesh and rich flavor. Alaska Pink Salmon, the smallest and most abundant, has a light, rose-colored flesh and delicate flavor. Alaska Keta Salmon, with a firm pink flesh and delicate flavor, is the type most commonly found in the foodservice industry.
This chart from The Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute shows when each type of salmon is harvested, so you can enjoy the freshest and best priced salmon.
So, swing by your local seafood counter, pick up some wild-caught Alaskan salmon, and try one of these delicious recipes.

Wiz Khalifa Wins Best New Artist at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards
His hometown heroes the Pittsburgh Steelers may not have been winners this season, but Wiz Khalifa was one tonight, snagging the Best New Artist Award at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards.
Fellow Mary Jane enthusiast Miley Cyrus, wearing a dangerously low cut and short white hybrid jacket-dress (seriously, this was a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen), presented the award to Wiz.
He chuckled as he took the mic, then thanked "God first, because God is amazing — so amazing. I want to thank my mom, my dad, my family, everyone who let me do what I do to get to this point." Khalifa then thanked his label, radio reps, the DJs who spun his hits and, of course, "My beautiful fiancee, she puts up with all my crazy stuff." Too cute! The camera panned over to Amber Rose, who blushed, clapped and giggled. They really are adorable together. And believe it or not, her white dress was actually more modest than Miley's.
Wiz was clearly moved by the victory, even admitting, "I'm shakin' up here!" Unfortunately, though it appeared he had more people to thank, he was cut off by music and show runners. Come on guys, Zooey Deschanel's iPhone commercial can wait! Let the man speak.
Congrats, Wiz! We bet he'll get 'No Sleep' celebrating tonight.

" An insidious creature, most likely somehow 'related' to trappers and lurkers, the Dead Leaves (for no other name exists as of yet for this foul thing), hibernates for three of the four year's seasons, deep underground. Its active time is Autumn, when trees shed their leaves, depositing colorful carpets across the ground. The terror then emerges and blends in with the surrounding leaves, perfectly camouflaged, waiting patiently for unsuspecting victims. In appearance it resembles nothing more than a ten foot square, six inch thick, layer of bright yellow, orange, and red leaves. The only hint that someone is walking on top of it, comes in the form of an unusual amplified sound of leaves crunching underfoot. Too late usually, the victims notice this additional 'crunch'. The Dead Leaves will then swirl and 'rise' up to smother and suffocate the victim, like a colorful, malevolent, boa constrictor. Fire, as can be imagined, is particularly effective against this creature, but one has to *know* it's there before putting it to the torch. And there's the rub. The creature is impossible to 'identify' in a large patch of fallen leaves by eyesight alone."
" The Rhenn Plains are serene and peaceful, beautiful, and quiet as if nothing had ever had happened to it, hiding away it's violent present and past. During some time ago, the countries needed land to fight on, for they did not want war to come to their home, so they chose the Rhenn Plains, Armies met there and men died on the lands, so the land has been empty always. But now there has been set an outpost and they are beset by the goverments wanting to keep it free, will the soldiers of the barracks prevail, or fall trying?"
" How about a dragon how cheerfully rules over a kingdom; his people all know him for what he is, and dragons are looked upon as wise and benevolent creatures. Dragonslayers from other kingdoms coming to free it from 'tyranny' are likely to get beaten to death by peasants with cast iron skillets."

Widowed or divorced, if this is your first holiday alone, it hurts. Maybe you charged into a buying/decorating frenzy, trying to prove to yourself and those around you– you're happy, happy. Maybe you pulled back in your special safe place, crying alone– waiting for this season of Joy to the World to pass. Elaine Williams, a young widow and author of a "Journey Well Taken: Life After Loss" tells of the pain of being alone during the holiday season:
Widowed or Divorced — Alone During the Holidays
I understand the pain of being left alone during the holiday season, and the pain is especially acute for a new widow.
For many people, holidays center around family and celebrations, and this time of year can be one of the most difficult times to get through. After the loss of your partner there's nothing quite as painful as that emptiness, whether it's a holiday once shared, or an anniversary or birthday.
Even if the loss is due to divorce, it is still a major life change, subject to emotions of loss, anger or perhaps feelings of abandonment. Through the holidays these emotions may surface and be experienced more strongly than other times of the year.
Some may argue that death of a spouse is out of your control and therefore worse than divorce. If the partner you love has divorced you, your choice has been taken away — similar to losing someone to death. There's also the added complication of perhaps feeling as if you've been thrown away, an understandably devastating experience. I have experienced both divorce and death, and the aftermath in each instance is neither pretty nor painless.
Does losing a partner in death hurt more than divorce? Losing someone you love, regardless of how that occurs, is a permanent wound on the heart. During holidays and special times, try not to totally isolate yourself, thereby adding to moments of stress or alienation. Allow family and friends to help you get through difficult times, even if it's something as simple as picking up your children from school or helping you shop for groceries. You can still be alone with your thoughts to sort through your grief, but it doesn't hurt to allow others to help absorb some of the heartache during this time of year.
Those who really care for you will be glad to assist you on your journey, so be open to accepting help from time to time.

Maternity Clothing
Pregnancy comes with its own special glow, but you can complement that glow with fabulous maternity clothes. Shop maternity looks at thredUP to find treasures that are up to 90% off estimated retail!
Why Maternity?
Many women choose not to wear maternity clothing. Instead, they buy normal clothing in larger sizes, which isn't the most comfortable thing to do. Normal clothes are not made for your baby bump so you could end up with a shirt that covers your belly but that is too big around the shoulders, or have a pair of pants that fit your waist but are saggy around your legs.
Maternity wear from brands like Motherhood and A Pea in the Pod solve those problems. They are designed to accommodate your adorable baby bump while keeping you comfortable and looking your best. Pregnancy comes with enough discomfort; you don't want to add to it by wearing clothes that don't fit correctly.
Maternity Fashions
Maternity dresses, pants, and jeans are designed for both comfort and style. You'll find many items that feature wrap-style patterns that flatter your changing shape without constricting you. Maternity jeans have an expandable waistband but won't drown your legs in too much fabric.
No matter what your personal style is, you'll be able to find pregnancy clothes at thredUP. If you favor a casual look, slip into some stretchy maternity pants that will be perfect for running errands around town or working to get the baby's room ready. Pair your pants with a casual T-shirt that brings attention to your bump.
There are also great maternity looks for the office. Find a pretty blouse and wear it with some sleek slacks. Dresses are another super-comfortable option for pregnancy, whether you want to go for a maxi look or something that shows off your legs.
Want to go out on a date night with your sweetie before the baby arrives? Pair your maternity dress with a cute jacket from our maternity outerwear selection or feminine scarf. Wear comfortable but fashionable flats, and complete the look with a dazzling handbag or clutch. You'll impress your significant other and feel fantastic in the process!
Shopping for Maternity Clothing at thredUP
Maternity clothes are oftentimes expensive, and the last thing you want to do when you're preparing for baby's arrival is spend more money than you already have to. Fortunately, when you shop at thredUP, you'll discover amazing maternity fashions at prices that are up to 90% off estimated retail.
If something you order doesn't fit right, or you just decide that it isn't what you were hoping for, send it back. Returns are easy. We want you to be happy with your experience at thredUP. After you have your baby, come back to us so you can find some new clothes to flatter your post-baby body, and maybe even pick up an outfit or two for your newborn!

Introduction to Business Model
Before you go further in reading this document I want you to pause and answer one question. How do you define Business Model? If you take the time to create a thoughtful response to that question you will gain more from what I have to say.
The term business model often surfaces when CEOs are reporting on the success (or failure) of their companies. They use the term in so many ways that it brings doubts as to just how well they understand what a business model actually is. The next time you hear the phrase being used try to understand exactly what they are talking about. See if you can conceptualize their description.
I have found it difficult to do that because when many leaders are saying Business Model what they are referring to are vague images in their minds of what their business should look and act like. It is more of a transient vision statement than an actual model. Unfortunately for them, and those that work for them, that apparition exists only in their minds. And to make matters worse that ghostly image is unintentionally evolving. What was there three months ago has morphed into something new without anyone else knowing, even though there are projects and initiatives underway to try and capture the earlier vision. If the model is not visible how does one go about building it? How can a group of executives 'know' they have a common understanding of the desired model if none of them are looking at a model?
There was one company that had three executives and a strategy consultant spend nine months developing a strategic plan. The management team needed to have a plan in place in order to meet certain goals. At the end of the process the group had settled on a particular corporate direction and some of the key strategies needed to make their vision come true. The most important strategy centered on the company having a 'World Class Supply Chain Management System' put into place. The CEO upon being asked to clarify what that would look like stated that the company would spend exactly what it took to give the customer exactly what it wanted. If the company spent one dime more than was necessary then that would be a problem. The CFO was asked the same question and he responded that being a world class Supply Chain management meant studying Wal-Mart, P&G and Dell and developing something superior to their processes.
Compare those responses and ask yourself if you think both of those people had the same vision in mind. It is obvious that they didn't. Here were two people who had spent considerable time together to co-develop the strategy, could repeat the words of the strategy but weren't on the same page when it came to how to execute that strategy. That is the danger of language – assuming we all mean the same thing when words are being used.
The term Business Model can also be found in the world of academia. In undergraduate business studies but especially in MBA programs the phrase is often used. Case studies of companies typically refer to their business models. The term is used hundreds if not thousands of times in the course of obtaining an advanced degree.
Since the phrase is so widely used in business and universities wouldn't it be reasonable to expect a common definition? From seeing that term used in many different ways I came to the conclusion that people don't share a common understanding of what constitutes a Business Model.
To verify my suspicions I conducted two surveys. One was with a group of business people and university students and the other was with a graduate business class. The audience in both cases was there to listen to a presentation I was going to make on the concept of Business Models. Prior to taking the surveys I asked those present to raise their hand if they were familiar with the term Business Model. Every person showed me they 'knew' what the term meant. My next instruction was for them to write down their definition on the piece of paper I had given them without conferring with anyone else. I was not looking for a homogenized version of the term but wanted to hear from each person individually. I also asked them not to include their name. What they had to say was more important than who said it.
I collected and recorded all the responses and now have dozens of different Business Model definitions. Allow me to share the beginning of just seven of them.
- A business model is a process ….
- Business model is the technical design …
- A business model is a description ….
- Rules and goals of the business as a whole.
- The method of running the business …
- A plan …..
- The strategies needed ….
As you can see from just these definitions my hypothesis was confirmed. Every one of those definitions is very different than the others. A description is certainly different than a process. Rules and strategies bear no resemblance to each other or any of the other descriptions in that list. There is a vast array of ideas being applied to the concept of Business Model.
The question begs to be asked: "How can business leaders and students attending the same university, studying the same field, have such a large array of definitions for one of the most basic business concepts?"
I think I know why.
It is not unlike the parable of the seven blind men and the elephant shown below. None of the seven men had ever experienced an elephant before and therefore had no basis or context for this magnificent creature. Each blind man was asked to describe an elephant. The first one touched the tail and described it as a rope. The second one touched a leg and said it was like a tree. One touched a tusk, another an ear, another the back,… While each man's description of the elephant was technically correct if a person took only that one perspective s/he could not know what an elephant looks like.
In order for those men, or anyone else for that matter, to know what an elephant looks like they need to know all of its parts and their relationship to each other. By viewing each part individually it is not possible to know what any complex entity looks like.
A business is a very complex entity. Now mentally substitute the elephant in the story about with the idea of a Business Model. Scan the list of seven different definitions from my surveys and understand that each of those definitions is just one part of the business model.
I have come to understand that the reason why I receive so many different definitions for a Business Model is because it isn't just one thing. Plans, rules and regulations, processes, strategies, design,.. are all different parts of the Business Model elephant. Each piece doesn't capture the totality of the entity but it does provide one glimpse.
That doesn't mean a definition for a business model can't be created to describe a business model. I have spent many years in this area and have developed a definition that works well. It aligns perfectly with the system I have created to make the Business Model Design a reality.
A Business Model is:
An aligned design of the products, processes, people and support functions that enables a business to achieve sustained performance.
My definition encompasses all of the 'parts of the business model elephant' listed by the seven responses from my surveys. Some of the survey responses are easily seen in the definition while others exist at a lower level. My goal was to use the fewest words to capture the totality of a business model and I believe I have succeeded. If there are aspects you believe to be missing, such as strategies and goals, trust that they are accommodated in the process but not readily apparent in the definition.
I am a much more visual person than auditory. When I was in a senior executive role my staff would come to me with an idea and I would always say "Show me the picture". Without the picture I didn't know if we were on the same page. We unknowingly use the same terms when we are referring to different ideas. Just go back to the seven responses listed above for proof.
With that in mind I have created a visual document to go with the above definition for Business Model. It is my "Show me the picture" of a Business Model but unfortunately I am unable to import it into this document. If you were able to look at it you would see that the diagram illustrates how the business entity exists within the competitive environment and then how each of the components of the business exists within the overall context of the business entity. Context is King and that understanding is embedded into this approach.
The model works regardless of whether the company provides a product or service. And while I use the term 'business' I am not referring to only for-profit companies. It is any entity that provides a product or service for someone else. Corporations, single business units, agencies, organizations and even departments can all use this diagram to show its inner workings.
The picture is a high-level view. Each of the parts in the diagram can be decomposed to help the reader better understand the context of what it is they are viewing.
When you study my Business Model Design take notice of the red arrows throughout the diagram. Those arrows indicate a flow. That flow actually represents a progression or sequence which in turn creates dependencies resulting in this document taking on a more three-dimensional perspective.
Look to SlideShare for a PowerPoint by me on this topic. There I wll be able to share my business model design diagram or canvas.
Before closing there is a concept I wish to share with you. "The environment determines the relevance of a design". This is critical to understand because it can and should be applied in every aspect of a person's life. My definition of Business Model ends with the words 'sustained performance'. The only way to achieve that level of performance in anything we do is to constantly adapt to a changing environment. That is true for products, processes and businesses alike. As the expectations change so must the corresponding designs.
There is an entire system that goes with this diagram. And when applied it creates a laser-like focus on what a business needs to do in order to achieve its goals. That brings us full circle to the idea that "It's all about Performance".
January 9, 2013 at 12:32 am
When using this definition, business intelligence also includes technologies such as data integration, data quality, data warehousing, master data management, text and content analytics, and many others that the market sometimes lumps into the Information Management segment. Therefore, Forrester refers to data preparation and data usage as two separate, but closely linked segments of the business intelligence architectural stack.

You don't expect a Jennifer Aniston interview to mention a Big Mac.
However, in a new one in New York Magazine, the 44-year-old with the famously fab figure shares her experience with the world-renowned burger… and, apparently, it wasn't a good one.
"I'll never forget when Justin and I were on a road trip and we were so hungry," dishes Aniston, referring to her husband-to-be Justin Theroux. "The only thing around was McDonald's. I think I ordered a Big Mac. Wow, my body did not react well to that! It was like putting gasoline in a purified system. I am always trying to eat organic and natural foods, so that just made my stomach turn and made me feel terrible. And I think what you put in your body, as well as stress, is reflected in the quality of your skin."
The spokeswoman for SmartWater and Aveeno skin care products showed how serious she is about what she puts into her body last month when, according to reports, she added an herb and vegetable garden, as well as a chicken coop, to her $21 million mansion in Bel Air.
Is it just us, or is Aniston beginning to sound like actress/cookbook author/lifestyle guru Gwyneth Paltrow, who many consider to be a little, er, out of touch with the average (and not-as-rich) American.
Between their distaste for food that the commoners flock to and their tendency to make fancy-schmancy home upgrades, such as the wood-burning pizza oven Paltrow had built in her garden, and their adoration for the workouts of celeb trainer Tracy Anderson, the two should have a lot to talk about.
And after a few glasses of organic wine, maybe they'll even broach the subject of Brad Pitt!

Yvonne Rice, PharmD; Hannah Austin, MBA; Preston Peterson, MD
Abstracts from the Kaiser Permanente 2018 National Quality Conference
From Northwest
Background: Care transitions from skilled nursing facilities (SNF) to home is a known clinical quality gap for medication reconciliation and safe, coordinated follow-up care. Kaiser Permanente Northwest 2016 baseline performance of Hospital 30-day All Cause Readmission Rate for this population is higher than expected at 21% and indicates an opportunity for improvement. The objective is to improve safe transitions of care from SNF, reduce avoidable hospital readmissions, and prevent serious medication discrepancies causing an adverse drug event.

A woman stands naked on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, spinning a hula hoop. The hoop, however, is made of barbed wire that bruises her chest. As the woman rotates her body to keep the hoop up, we grimace at how painful it must be for her to avoid the hoop's jagged edges.
To visual artist Sigalit Landau, who stripped down to record herself for this video performance called Barbed Hula, the space within the hoop is one of freedom as well as restriction. Landau says her performance is symbolic of learning to live within the borders of a country like Israel.
"My videos are very much mirroring things in me," Landau said in an email from her home in Tel Aviv. "I only [perform] if there is suffering involved… no one should suffer for my art but me."
Landau is one of Israel's most internationally renowned artists. Her video works are the focus of her first solo exhibition in Canada, Moving to Stand Still, which runs at the Koffler Gallery in Toronto from Feb. 6 to April 6.
Moving to Stand Still will feature six of Landau's most essential video artworks. The exhibit's title speaks to the constant movement of both the Jewish People throughout history and the artist at its centre. Landau was born in Jerusalem in 1969, but also spent her childhood in Philadelphia, London and parts of Quebec.
Landau began making short films to educate soldiers, when she served in the Israeli army. Although she said she prefers making installations and sculptures, film creates a whole new space of possibilities, especially when it focuses on water and the body.
"Video… is contemporary but has its roots in storytelling, painting, dreams," she said. "Some materials are not possible to inhabit the gallery space."
Her videos look at many current topics in Israel, such as war, agricultural exploitation and Jewish-Arab relations. One focus of her work is the history of the Jewish People in Israel and their shifting identity.
"As a people that have a history of being in exile, being thrown out and displaced… [Israeli Jews] haven't really learned to live with borders or with this very defined idea of a homeland," says Mona Filip, curator of the Koffler Gallery.
One of the videos from the exhibit that looks at borders is titled Azkelon. The name is a combination of Gaza and Ashkelon, a coastal city just north of the Gaza Strip.
In the video, three teens are on a beach, playing a game where they throw a knife into the ground and create a literal line in the sand, dividing their space from the other players' territory. It is a clear metaphor for Israel's continually shifting borders.
In another of her videos, DeadSee, Landau appears nude again, lying atop a spiral raft of 500 watermelons floating on the Dead Sea. DeadSee is one of Landau's many videos full of contrasts, Filip says.
"The [Dead Sea] is the heart of the desert," she says. "At the same time, it's the site of all this agricultural exploitation that is further endangering that place."
The irony that a sweet fruit like a watermelon can still thrive in such a salty environment is an apt metaphor for life persevering in the harshest of circumstances – a reality clear to many Israelis.
"[Israeli] society, creative as it is, diverse as it may seem, is living from one catastrophe to the next, despite the fact that for 65 years, the state exists," Landau said. "My works show in a normal way how abnormal things are getting."
Another of Landau's striking works, Salted Lake, is a tribute to her parents, who survived the Holocaust. The video focuses on boots encased in Dead Sea salt crystals, sitting on top of a frozen lake in Gdansk, Poland. Slowly, the shoes melt through the ice, a symbol for the disappearance of Jewish life in Europe.
Moving to Stand Still is the Koffler Gallery's second exhibition at Artscape Youngplace, their new home in downtown Toronto that's quickly becoming a part of the local arts circuit.
Toronto marks Landau's only North American stop on a worldwide tour that includes openings in Rome, Moscow and Johannesburg.


text: Ingenuity and refinement mark the Fall offerings of our womenswear designers, with pairings of unconventional tailoring, athletic-inspired loungewear, and graphic streetwear advancing a fluid approach to modern dressing. A diverse range of outerwear sees wool peacoats, trench coats, and shearling jackets hang alongside sportswear-inspired bombers, varsity jackets, down-filled puffers, and military parkas. With casual basics, eclecticism predominates. T-shirts, sweatshirts, button-ups, and leather jackets are playfully accented with velvet, fur, and crystal, while jeans in distressed and reconstructed vintage denim evoke past eras. Offsetting the feminine elegance of pleated midi skirts, draped blouses, and adventurously proportioned dresses is the androgynous spirit of unisex-styled hoodies, graphic t-shirts, and tracksuits. Athletic loungewear favors technical constructions and performance-minded textiles, while wide-leg trousers, silk slip dresses, and oversized wool and cashmere sweaters bring fluidity to asymmetrically cut dresses, tailored jumpsuits and blazers, and fitted knitwear.

There's more drama in the air for LeAnn Rimes—but this time, it doesn't have anything to do with her marriage, her figure, or Brandi Glanville. The country singer is now embroiled in a legal battle with, of all people…her dentist!
Rimes filed a malpractice suit against Dr. Duane C. McKay on Thursday, claiming that the services he'd provided over the past three years have affected her career.
How's that? Well, apparently, McKay fitted Rimes with crowns and veneers with the intent of treating painful TMJ, as well as just plain old improving her smile's appearance. However, Rimes states that his work was subpar enough to put her in worse pain, plus endure nine root canals, bone grafting, a temporary bridge, and even physical therapy as a result—with the sum being that she's felt unable to perform at times due to the ordeal.
Rimes is seeking an undisclosed amount of money to cover damages, loss of wages, medical expenses, and the emotional turmoil she's been through.
The superstar hid her distress over the matter quite well, with not a whisper of the matter on Twitter (where she is famous for being quite open and outspoken). In fact, on Saturday, she tweeted a photo of herself at the hairstylist, sporting new dramatic bangs...and a big toothy smile.

For the past year, Stephanie Moulton's parents have waited in legislative hearings, wearing buttons bearing her name. They have sat in the front row of the courtroom during hearings for the man accused of killing her, even when he was not there, so she can still have a voice.
On a recent day in Suffolk Superior Court, Deshawn James Chappell seemed to look back at them and made it all worse.
With a new court-appointed lawyer recently appointed to Chappell's case, Kimberly Flynn and Bob Moulton will have to wait even longer before the case is resolved.
"It's head-banging,'' her mother said in a recent interview as the family prepared for several vigils in her memory. "I just feel she's getting lost in all this.''
Justice, the family has realized in the year since Chappell allegedly killed Moulton at the mental health group home where she worked, has moved far more slowly than any of them would have liked, ensnared in a labyrinth of legal procedure and government bureaucracy.
In the last year, the family has proposed a bill, to be called Stephanie's Law. which calls for installation of panic alarms in mental health facilities. That proposal lingers in a committee.
The union that represents social workers has been pushing for a bill that would improve the oversight of community group homes. That legislation, introduced just weeks before the killing, has also stalled.
And the state Department of Mental Health said it is still reviewing recommendations of a safety task force that it created after the killing.
Moulton's family members and a close-knit community of mental health workers who support them plan three vigils across the state today, which would have been her 26th birthday, to call attention to the tragedy and the cracks they are hoping to fill. They say too much time has passed.
"We just don't want anyone to forget Stephanie,'' her mother said. "We don't want it to happen to anyone else.''
Moulton's father added, "It's Stephanie's voice.''
The killing occurred Jan. 20, 2011. Moulton, an aspiring nursing student who was engaged to be married, was months into her job as a social worker at a group home in Revere run by the North Suffolk Mental Health Association, a state contractor.
Chappell was 27, had a history of mental illness and violence, including the vicious beating of his stepfather, for which he served a prison sentence. According to court records, his family raised concerns with the group home days before the slaying that he was not taking his prescribed medications.
Moulton knew none of his history and was in the home with him alone.
Chappell stabbed her in the neck several times, prosecutors have said in court. He dragged her to her Chrysler PT Cruiser, and drove her to a parking lot behind St. George Greek Orthodox Home in Lynn, where he left her body partially clad, law enforcement officials said.
His initial attorney, Jeffrey T. Karp, planned to argue that Chappell was not guilty by reason of insanity. Karp expressed sympathy for the Moulton family but also said that Chappell's mental health examiners should have realized the dangers once they learned that he had stopped taking his medication.
"The system failed both of them, especially her,'' Karp said recently.
The Moulton family has filed a lawsuit against the North Suffolk Mental Health Association, arguing that the agency had no system in place for alerting employees to potentially violent clients.
The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration, in a rare action taken against a social services company, fined North Suffolk $7,000 for failure to provide a safe work environment, the maximum penalty allowed. The association has appealed the fine.
The OSHA violation raised some of the same issues that were identified by a task force the Department of Mental Health commissioned after the killing of Moulton and the stabbing death a week later of a Lowell homeless shelter worker, Jose Roldan.
Both groups cited a need for changes, including the development of proper safety standards for hospitals and for group homes, better training programs, and more spending on care.
"These were systemic issues,'' said Toby Fisher, senior field policy specialist for the Service Employees International Union, the labor organization that represents care workers, who was a nonvoting member of the task force. He said a priority should be a new standard for assessing patients and sharing that information. That has not happened.
Paul F. Healy Jr., a retired first justice of Framingham District Court who cochaired the task force, said in an interview that the group sought to balance a client's right to privacy with the safety of patients and their caseworkers.
He stressed that the majority of patients do not pose any threat to safety. But he also said he found that the system is unable to hold its clients accountable to requirements such as taking medication, something to which he, as a judge, was not accustomed.
The judge said members of the task force differed on points in the report. But all agreed that changes should be immediate and that more funding should be directed to mental health.
"The recommendations would go a long way to possibly preventing something like this, and that's what we tried to do,'' the judge said.
North Suffolk released a statement saying it could not comment on matters before the courts, but that the task force sparked a discussion about safety.
"The safety of staff and clients is, and has been, a priority,'' the statement said. "The tragedy of last Jan. 20 stays with us, as we know it does with the families of Stephanie and all those involved.''
Debra Pinals, acting deputy commissioner for clinical and professional services at the Department of Mental Health, is cochairwoman of a working group the department commissioned to review the task force's recommendations.
Several recommendations have already been incorporated, she said. The department immediately provided training programs for staff and created jail diversion programs to better identify patients in need of care.
She said her working group is collaborating with vendors to review safety protocol and is reviewing recommendations such as whether to conduct background checks on patients and how to share that information.
But she stressed that the department has had to prioritize what changes it could implement in the time since the recommendations were made, according to available funding and the time it takes to properly review them.
Pinals said the department welcomes a proposed increase of more than 3 percent in its budget for next year, at $648 million, but overall spending is still far behind past years. The state spent $685 million for mental health care in 2009, for instance.
The Moulton family is focused on a much more modest figure: about $15 a month. That, according to the family, is what it would cost for a panic alarm that could be placed in a home such as the one where Moulton worked to connect a worker or resident directly to an operator.
Flynn said she understands the complexity of the legislative process and the time needed to assess proposed changes. She understands the criminal justice system, the need for a fair trial.
But if her daughter had known Chappell's background, she would not have stayed alone with him, Flynn said. If someone else had known, they probably would not have let her, she added.
Flynn was frustrated at the recent court hearing, when a judge asked if Chappell understood what was happening and whether he agreed. "He had this look on his face, like it didn't matter what he did,'' she said.

What Went Wrong - washingtonpost.com
THE CRASH Risk and Regulation
What Went Wrong
How did the world's markets come to the brink of collapse? Some say regulators failed. Others claim deregulation left them handcuffed. Who's right? Both are. This is the story of how Washington didn't catch up to Wall Street.
By Anthony Faiola, Ellen Nakashima and Jill Drew
Washington Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, October 15, 2008; Page A01
A decade ago, long before the financial calamity now sweeping the world, the federal government's economic brain trust heard a clarion warning and declared in unison: You're wrong.
The meeting of the President's Working Group on Financial Markets on an April day in 1998 brought together Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin and Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Arthur Levitt Jr. -- all Wall Street legends, all opponents to varying degrees of tighter regulation of the financial system that had earned them wealth and power.
Their adversary, although also a member of the Working Group, did not belong to their club. Brooksley E. Born, the 57-year-old head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, had earned a reputation as a steely, formidable litigator at a high-powered Washington law firm. She had grown used to being the only woman in a room full of men. She didn't like to be pushed around.
Now, in the Treasury Department's stately, wood-paneled conference room, she was being pushed hard.
Greenspan, Rubin and Levitt had reacted with alarm at Born's persistent interest in a fast-growing corner of the financial markets known as derivatives, so called because they derive their value from something else, such as bonds or currency rates. Setting the jargon aside, derivatives are both a cushion and a gamble -- deals that investment companies and banks arrange to manage the risk of their holdings, while trying to turn a profit at the same time.
Unlike the commodity futures regulated by Born's agency, many newer derivatives weren't traded on an exchange, constituting what some traders call the "dark markets." There were now millions of such private contracts, involving many of Wall Street's top firms. But there was no clearinghouse holding collateral to settle a deal gone bad, no transparent records of who was trading what.
Born wanted to shine a light into the dark. She had offered no specific oversight plan, but after months of making noise about the dangers that this enormous market posed to the financial system, she now wanted to open a formal discussion about whether to regulate them -- and if so, how.
Greenspan, Rubin and Levitt were determined to derail her effort. Privately, Rubin had expressed concern about derivatives' unruly growth. But he agreed with Greenspan and Levitt that these newer contracts, often called "swaps," weren't exactly futures. Born's agency did not have legal authority to regulate swaps, the three men believed, and her call for a discussion had real-world consequences: It would cast doubt over the legality of trillions of dollars in existing contracts and create uncertainty over how to operate in the market.
At the April meeting, the trio's message was clear: Back off, Born.
"You're not going to do anything, right?" Rubin asked her after they had laid out their concerns, according to one participant.
Born made no commitment. Some in the room, including Rubin and Greenspan, came away with a sense that she had agreed to cool it, at least until lawyers could confer on the legal issues. But according to her staff, she was neither deterred nor chastened.
"Once she took a position, she would defend that position and go down fighting. That's what happened here," said Geoffrey Aronow, a senior CFTC staff member at the time. "When someone pushed her, she was inclined to stand there and push back."

This, my friends, is the greatest patent the world has ever known. Brilliant in its simplicity, it's a headrest for placement above urinals. I mean, haven't we all been in a state where we would just love to take a quick nap while peeing, but worried about the cleanliness/comfort of the tiled wall above the urinal? I know I certainly have. Come on, manufacturers. Let's make this one happen so drunks everywhere can pee with a bit more comfort and a little less dignity.
Update: Reader Evan Ryan just sent us a picture of a very similar contraption that he and his frat brothers, generally known to be the smartest people on any college campus, rigged up at their house at University of Illinois. They're currently preparing a lawsuit. Click through to check it out. [Inventor Spot via Geekologie]

What better present is there than a book? Not only does it show that you think the gift recipient is intelligent, you get to show off your own taste and sophistication as well. That's what they call a win-win situation. We have a wide assortment of books, and appeal to several different audiences, so here is our recommendation list for this holiday season.
What should you buy for:
A junior high or high school student
High school students need Battle Royale Remastered, our new translation of the cult classic, and the non-fiction companion title The Battle Royale Slam Book. Imagine the year-end term papers anyone so outfitted could write. Sometimes these poor things are told to read a book over winter break, and write a reaction paper, with sources! (The Slam Book is good for that.)
"Okay teacher, I will. I will."
Someone who doesn't actually like to read
All You Need Is Kill: The Graphic Novel. It has pictures. It's a Western-style comic book. It makes a good gift bundle along with Edge of Tomorrow and the manga, and perhaps even the film DVD. It's a transmedia experience with a very low word-count.
My ahead-of-the-curve friend who already reads everything, hears about all the new writers first, and is impossible to shop for
They need a copy of Phantasm Japan, which has stories by some of the best new writers, and is anchored by a stunning illustrated novella by Dempow Torishima. It's…well, it's hard to describe. No matter who your avant friend is, he or she will be surprised.
Young people who love science
Did you know that all our books are still in print? That means Rocket Girls and Rocket Girls: The Last Planet are still available! Ready for a wacky adventure with solid science grounding? These are the books for you. Highly recommended for anyone who loved Andy Weir's novel The Martian.
My uncle who won't stop talking about conspiracy theories and the end of the world at our family parties and just ends up upsetting everyone
Shut him up with a copy of Virus. It's a thriller, like a Japanese Michael Chrichton novel, by Japanese science fiction grandmaster Sakyo Komatsu. This book has everything…submarines, nuclear weapons, fast cars, two billion corpses, biochemical warfare, real science, international cooperation at the South Pole, and hunger-mad politicians! And it's long enough that Uncle Herbie will probably fall asleep with it tented up on his stomach somewhat early in the evening. Snoring is better than going on about the gold standard and chemtrails all night, isn't it?
Old-school types who still tell ghost stories on Christmas Eve
People do that? Yes, or they used to. Still somewhat common in The United Kingdom. For some creepy yet all-ages fun, you need our ghost story collection by Miyuki Miyabe Apparitions.
My creepy cousin who just sits at the dinner table with everyone else and doesn't eat or make a sound
Definitely Asura Girl. Say no more.
Happy shopping, and happy holidays!
