General dentistry has come a long way, even incorporating lasers to treat a variety of dental issues. Dr. Bagga uses the latest laser technology at his dental practice to safely and efficiently treat things like periodontal disease, gum lifts, and detecting cavities.
One of the lasers Dr. Bagga uses is the soft tissue laser. This laser is used to treat cold sores and fever blisters, as well as recontouring gums. The laser destroys the bacteria or virus that causes cold sores and fever blisters. It also shields nerve endings to prevent pain and sensitivity. With gum recontouring, the laser can improve the tooth to gum ratio by eliminating gum tissue that creates "gummy" smiles.
The DIAGNOdent laser is used in early detection of cavities before they become visible to the eye. By using DIAGNOdent, Dr. Bagga is able to ensure that your teeth are protected and decay is caught as soon as possible.
Another way lasers can be used in dentistry is in the removal of frenums. A frenum is the fold of tissue connecting the tongue, cheeks, or lips to the jawbone. In some cases, the frenum may be attached too close to the tooth, which can interfere with the structure of the bone and jeopardize the teeth. Teeth may erupt from the gum line very crooked in young children causing discomfort, speech may be impaired, or frenum tissue may need to be removed for dentures to be placed comfortably. In these cases a frenectomy, or removal of frenum tissue, is performed with a laser. This can be done quickly and is a fairly routine procedure.
If you would like to have more information on the use of lasers in dentistry, please contact experienced laser dentist Dr. Bagga. Dr. Bagga serves the area of Randolph, New Jersey.

The future of digital learning
MOOC's are facing challenges but seeking to become better learning outlets for students
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC's) were once considered the solution to many educational issues plaguing students today, including cost and accessibility. However, despite all of the positive movements forward, MOOC programs are still encountering many issues. For one, employers admit that they are more likely to hire applicants with a traditional degree versus an online education. MOOC's also see a higher dropout rate and lower overall grades in comparison to a conventional education. Education scholars speculate on whether or not this online movement is just a passing fad that will not last to see long-term results.
What is the future of MOOC's?
In order to combat some of the issues that have arisen with MOOC's, online learning platforms and traditional schools have started to come together to combine both old and new leaning efforts. NovoEd, a student-centered online learning platform that uses collaboration and teamwork at the center of their online learning experience, has partnered with Princeton University, Wharton University of Pennsylvania, SRI International, University of Maryland, Decision Education Foundation, Kauffman Fellows Academy, Entrepreneurship at UCSF and the Carnegie Foundation to create some of their courses. This learning center describes itself as a three-step working process that has students network with peers, alumni and mentors, encourages students to learn to lead and work in a team setting, and to join the "world's classroom" at a global level.
This learning experience is different from traditional MOOC programs in that it offers online and in-person study groups and requires students to work on real-life projects. Students also seek out mentors and from this are able to start their own projects to enhance individual learning. "Traditional online courses focus on the most boring parts of education through tedious practices such as multiple choice questions which creates an isolating, lonely environment for students," says NovoEd's founder, Amin Saberi. Contrary to that idea, NovoEd and the schools they partner with seek to motivate students and create an environment in which they want to expand.
In the NovoEd MOOC learning experience, students are able to find mentors and networking opportunities through online forums, work in teams and establish global relationships with classmates from around the world. Individuals and companies both utilize the program, people are able to gain degrees while working or training in their career field.
Skepticism of MOOC's has often stemmed from the low success rate of early online learning platforms which saw an average of about five percent success rate. So far, the NovoEd educational model has seen a large increase in success with a 45 percent to 65 percent success rate of students finishing a certain course. Professors and students who have witnessed the success cite the positive feedback as a result of the collaborative learning experience. Students are more engaged and likely to complete their studies in a group setting versus independent study.
The ultimate goal of the MOOC is to make college degrees more accessible with a more affordable price and to increasing online course retention rates. While the future of online learning and MOOC's is often changing, there is no doubt that strides are continually being made in order to improve the educational future for students, both online and traditionally.

Broadcasters Catch a Break on License Renewal Advertising Certification
Pity the post office. Even its federal brethren have abandoned it. Today the FCC announced that, with the beginning of the broadcast license renewal cycle fast approaching, it will not be sending its traditional postcard reminders to broadcast licensees. It did say, however, that it would email reminders to broadcasters for which it has email addresses in an effort to minimize the number of enforcement actions it will need to take against those failing to file on time. The base fine for a late-filed renewal is $3,000, but because most stations that miss the filing deadline have their license expire before they realize their mistake, an additional $4,000 fine for unauthorized operation (for a total of $7,000 per station) is nearly automatic.
While those of us following the FCC's enforcement actions have noticed a fairly dramatic upward trend in the size of FCC fines (noted in an earlier post), the Media Bureau is to be commended for taking steps to assist broadcasters in meeting their filing obligations rather than just fining those that don't.
To accomplish this, the FCC today released a Public Notice announcing the availability of its new license renewal form, discussing the changes found in it, and providing a link to the state-by-state schedule of license renewal deadlines. The idea is to make the information readily available to broadcasters, though not by way of their mailboxes. Make no mistake, however, as the Public Notice reminds us, that broadcasters are responsible for meeting their own filing deadlines, and cannot defend a failure to timely file by claiming that the FCC didn't remind them.
More importantly, the Public Notice is not just a procedural announcement. The FCC took the opportunity to address a critical question regarding its new requirement that license renewal applicants certify that their "advertising sales agreements do not discriminate on the basis of race or ethnicity and that all such agreements held by the licensee contain nondiscrimination clauses." This new certification was adopted as a way of preventing advertisers and ad agencies from engaging in "no urban/no Spanish" ad placement practices. In creating the certification requirement, the FCC once again used its authority over broadcasters to force a change in the conduct of those for which the FCC lacks jurisdiction (in this case, advertisers).
In an early February post, our own Dick Zaragoza raised a number of issues that broadcast license renewal applicants need to consider before making this new certification. An additional source of concern is that the FCC had not made clear how far back the certification must reach. The FCC adopted the requirement in 2008, but didn't provide a specific date by which nondiscrimination clauses had to be incorporated into broadcasters' advertising contracts. Many communications lawyers told their clients that the requirement had gone into effect in mid-2008, while others, including myself, noted that it could not go into effect until the FCC had taken some additional procedural steps to effectuate it, but when those steps would be completed was impossible to predict.
Thankfully, today's Public Notice answers that three year old question, stating that the certifications must cover a period starting today, March 14, 2011, to the date a station files its license renewal application. Stations that successfully implemented this change anytime between 2008 and now will be able to make the necessary certification, and stations that were frozen by uncertainty need to implement it immediately or face the consequences at renewal time. While the license renewal process can be a stressful one, particularly for those who barely remember filing their last renewal application eight years ago, the Media Bureau today helped broadcasters by eliminating at least some of the uncertainty that can make it so stressful.

Thanks to the public, Launceston CIB has identified the man pictured in last week's released photo of the person of interest in the Cataract Gorge assault.
"At this stage we have eliminated him as a suspect in the assault and are therefore again asking for any public assistance in relation to the incident," Detective Inspector Kim Steven said.
A female walker was assaulted by a man about 4.15pm on Sunday 31 March as she was walking along the track near the old Duck Reach power station. She was not injured during the incident.
The man is described as wearing a khaki shirt, baggy track pants, being between 174 cm and 180cm tall, with blonde bushy eyebrows, fair complexion, blonde scruffy hair, of slim build weighing around 70kg, with a slender face and a pointed chin, aged in his early to mid-20s.
Launceston Police is requesting any witnesses who may have observed this man in the area to come forward and speak to police on 131444.

Q: Automated test "all changes are feature-flagged", possible? Let's say in an effort to improve quality, your team agrees on the following policy:

*

*all commits to the master branch (direct or via pull request) have to be categorized as either bugfixes or feature changes; never both at the same time.

*to easily distinguish the two, commit messages have to start with e.g. [bug 123] or [feature 456], respectively

*in feature commits, all code changes have to be feature-flagged (using some sort of application settings tool such as NFig). The idea is that while the feature flag is turned off, the commit is not supposed to change app behavior in any way.
EDIT: feature-flagged are supposed to be short-lived and only for release purposes. Martin Fowler calls those release toggles.
So for example, a feature commit like this...
function existingCode() {
   // existing stuff

+   doSomethingNew();  // <--- NEW

   // more exiting stuffstuff
}

... would be in violation of the policy because doSomethingNew() introduces an immediate change in behavior. Feature-flagging the change like this...
function existingCode() {
   // existing stuff

+  if (Config.FeatureFlags.NewFeature456)
+  {
+    doSomethingNew();  // <--- NEW
+  }
   // more exiting stuffstuff
}

... would be compliant with the policy: there is no change in behavior until the NewFeature456 feature flag gets enabled (and therefore no risk of accidental breakages, feature leaks etc).
My question is: would it be conceivable to enforce the feature flag policy with an automated test?
The way I would imagine a test like this to work is, roughly:

*

*inputs: git repo, commit hash, name of feature flag

*build repo with and without commit (feature flag disabled in both)

*check if both builds behave the same

That last "behaving the same" part is obviously the tricky part. A number of things come to mind here, from running a number of other automated tests to code analysis - something like comparing the ASTs of both builds (that might get difficult).
Could that possibly work? Has it been done before?

A: I think you totally miss the root cause of your problem. I guess your real porblem is this:
want features to only become active when someone who is not a developer (management?) decides that now is the right time.
The solution, IMO, is NOT to clutter your code with distracting and leaky/incorrect if (featureIsEnabled) checks and weld some wanky static code analysis on top.
Your solution is to use your VCS correctly. You say master branch so i assume you are using Git. When using git, your best option is to use one of the standard branching models (e.g. GitFlow). What all proven and widely-used git branching models have in common is this:

all commits to the master branch there is your problem. NEVER commit to the master branch. ONLY EVER merge to master from a branch that, prior to merging, has undergone a full test-cycle.

If you use e.g. GitFlow you can have your feature branches ready. You can test them to your hearts content and make sure they stay integrated with the main branch as that moves on. Then, when someone decides the feature should become active, you do another integrate&test cycle on the feature branch, then merge it.
When a particular feature needs a feature flag (e.g. to only activate for certain customers / on certain system settings), that should be part of the feature. Test that flag as if it was part of the feature (just like when i click that button, the foo is frobnicated).

If, however, your requirement is that all features should be possible to enable or disable at will, you're in BIG trouble. That is  a problem your entire organization must be ready for: with every new feature the possibility of system states is multiplied by (at least) 2. Do you have test cases for all possible combinations of enabled features? Are you prepared for the massive overhead this encurs on development and release? Do features depend on each other and if so, do you have mechanisms in place to prevent a feature from being enabled while its dependencies are not?
Also, if you really want to go this route, you should consider a module system rather than putting all of the code into one thing. Take a look at how e.g. modern CMSs handle modules/plugins.

A: I think the only way to do this is to have extensive testing for all the existing features, including testing things like the content of menus to make sure no new unexpected items show up.
If the application has a GUI, then some integration tests that make screenshots of the GUI and compare them to reference screenshots in the repo might make this a bit easier. There are tools that will check for similarity if 100% binary identical images are not feasible. More generally you can compare any output of the application to a reference example.
You might then be able to enforce a rule that a new feature commit doesn't change any of the existing integration test files, but to be honest I think you could probably do this as well by code review as by an automated system.
I don't think you'd want to use code analysis of the production code as a check for this. If you did that, you could ensure that other than the feature-switched-on branches of the code everything is the same as before, but then you'd end having to duplicate any code which would need refactoring or extending to support the new feature.
You'd delay any bugs caused by mistakes until the time the feature is switched on. Delaying bugs is a very bad thing - if bugs are going to happen the sooner they do the better since they will be much easier to fix. In fact if you're using if statements to separate out the new code from the old code you're not really integrating, and you might as well have long-lived feature branches in the VCS. It's much better to let the new code run straight away, and just hide the result of it at the UI layer.
As I suggested in my comment, I think you also need a third type of commit. Feature flags are tech debt if you have too many in an application at once. So you need to make commits that remove feature flags, by going through the codebase and replacing a value like Config.FeatureFlags.NewFeature456 with either true or false, and then refactoring.

A: If your language supports parsing to AST, it sounds like relatively simple code analysis problem. For each changed file, parse it to AST before and after change, then descent it concurrently, until you hit the difference, skipping over "if(feature) { }" statements.
It may have some nuances, for example you probably want to allow declaring variables with default values so that they could span over several "if (feature) {}" statements, but overall seems doable

Describing their sound as "Upper West Side Soweto," New York City's Vampire Weekend mixes preppy, well-read indie rock with joyful, Afro-pop-inspired melodies and rhythms. Ezra Koenig, Chris Baio, Rostam Batmanglij, and Chris Tomson formed the band early in 2006 when they were finishing up their studies at Columbia University. Taking their name from a movie Koenig made during his freshman year, the band started out by playing gigs at the university's literary societies and at parties. Word spread about Vampire Weekend's unique sound and lyrics buoyed by the band's self-released EPs, which they recorded in locations spanning their Columbia dorm rooms to a family barn. The buzz around Vampire Weekend reached a peak in 2007; that summer, the band embarked on their biggest tour yet, made several appearances at that year's CMJ Music Marathon, and signed with XL Records in the fall. The Mansard Roof EP was their debut release for the label, followed by their self-titled first album early in 2008.
