Kaine: Israel stance 'no, no, no' on Iran enrichment
Posted on February 24, 2014 by Laura Rozen
Israel's stance on acceptable terms for a final Iran nuclear deal remains as uncompromising as that which divided Washington and Jerusalem on the merits of an interim nuclear deal last fall, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Virginia) said Monday following a trip last week to the Middle East.
"Their position is no, no, no: No enrichment, no centrifuges, no weaponization program," Kaine, referring to Israeli leaders, said in answer to a question on a conference call briefing with journalists Monday on his trip last week to Israel, Ramallah, Lebanon and Egypt.
Netanyahu, in a meeting with Senators Kaine and Angus King (Independent-Maine) in Israel last week, "said nothing about the pending legislation," Kaine said, referring to stalled Iran sanctions legislation co-sponsored by Senators Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Ron Kirk (R-Illinois). "He expressed what he has [previously] expressed. He has not backed away one iota [from his position] that the interim deal is a bad idea in his view. But he acknowledged…that the deal is done."
Now the Israeli leader is turning his focus to how to "structure the final deal …so that it accomplishes what needs to be accomplished, and what would such a deal look like," Kaine said, adding that Netanyahu did not refer to specific draft U.S. legislation on the matter. "He's aware that if we can't find an acceptable deal, it's not hard to get Congress to pass more sanctions."
When Netanyahu comes to Washington next week to address the American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference and to meet with President Obama, "I suspect that rather than a speech that three quarter deals with" the six month Join Plan of Action that went into effect last month, he will spend "a lot of time on what should be the components of a final deal" and what "assurances will be needed."
Asked if the Israeli leader had shown any signs of softening his maximalist positions from last fall that an acceptable Iran nuclear deal could allow no centrifuges or domestic Iranian enrichment, Kaine said no.
"I understand and they [the Israelis] understand that this is a negotiation," Kaine said. "At the end of the day, we have the same goal of a diplomatic solution, [of Iran] without a nuclear weapon and easy ability to produce a nuclear weapon. Exactly how to define that question of what is acceptable in terms of nuclear research and what is unacceptable, that gets too close to a weapon, there are some gray areas."
"The US and Israeli perspectives may be a little different," Kaine continued. "That demands communication."
"I would like there to be zero enrichment, I would like there to be no facilities, I would like there not to be an indigenous program," lead US Iran negotiator Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman told journalists in Israel over the weekend. "I think I would like many things in life. But that does not mean I will always get them, and that is not necessarily the only path to ensuring that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon and that the international community can have confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of its program."
Kaine also said that both Israeli and Palestinian leaders expressed gratitude for Secretary of State John Kerry's efforts to advance a framework for an Israel-Palestine two state solution, but that both expressed doubts the other side was willing to make the necessary compromises and concessions for it to succeed.
In Lebanon, he said Lebanese leaders told him and King that they appreciated US financial support for humanitarian efforts to support the hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees in the country, but that what was needed is to improve conditions inside Syria to slow the refugee exodus and move to end the conflict. He and King were preparing to leave a briefing at the US embassy in Beirut last week when a suicide blast went off some five miles south at an Iranian cultural center, killing several people–the latest sign of sectarian spillover violence from Syria's civil war that threatens to destabilize its neighbors.
Kaine, the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Near East and South Asia subcommittee, plans to hold a subcommittee hearing on Lebanon on Tuesday.

Retired at 35 is mediocre, made a huge mistake in the pilot, and doesn't have Betty White to save them.
TVLand's newest foray into original sitcom land premiered with a show just about as good as the pilot of Hot in Cleveland, which was good but not great. It felt dated, but not in too terrible a way, harking back to the sitcom 'Golden Age' of the '80's and '90's. The humor was mildly funny, without pushing many boundaries, or being too racy. I call it 'TV Fast Food': not much substance, but still enjoyable. Not the next big TV hit, but something I wouldn't mind watching.
What makes me think Retired at 35 won't achieve Hot in Cleveland levels of improvement, though, can be summed up in one name: Betty White. There is no comparable player on this second show. The closest they come is Jessica Walter (Archer), whom I considered one of the best parts of Arrested Development, but who just doesn't get to the same level as White. She's funny, yes, but her humor is more straightforward. She doesn't have the ornery gleam in her eye.
The story goes: a thirty-five year old man named David (Jonathan McClain) visits his parents, Elaine and Alan (Walter and George Segal, Just Shoot Me!), in their retirement village. While there, he realizes his job making "all wood involving foods" is majorly stressing him out and quits, staying with them. His friend, Brandon (Josh McDermitt), lives nearby, so he has a buddy to hang out with, and his high school crush, Jessica (Ryan Michelle Bathe, Trauma, Boston Legal) works at the local bar.
After David quits, it inspires his mother to quit her marriage, taking off to find a hunk in Central America. Alan doesn't want to waste time being single, so he asks David to set him up, but rejects David's choice of Susan (Christine Ebersole, Royal Pains, Saturday Night Live) as too old. David feels bad, as Susan has already arrived for the date, and agrees to take her to dinner, only to quickly wind up in bed with her. Alan reconsiders, claiming nerves, and David learns Susan is Jessica's mother, which is supposed to be a big surprise twist, considering their different skin colors.
Which to me means that Jessica and David are doomed from the start. How can he possibly get with her when he's slept with her mom? It would take many years, at minimum, for Jessica to get over that information once learned, which will surely be before too long. Does the show really expect to build proper will they / won't they chemistry after jumping off that cliff? I don't see it happening, and that one little moment kind of ruined the episode for me right there. Funny, yes, if Jessica had been a random girl of the week for David. Since she's a main character, it's nearly unacceptable. I understand David and Jessica needed obstacles to overcome, since they were both so willing to go for the relationship, even if they hadn't told each other yet, but this was way too big an obstacle.
I was disappointed that Walter was in so little of the episode, taking off early on. As I mentioned before, she is the biggest draw for me. However, her name also graces the opening credits, so I'm sure she will be returning quite soon, likely after her husband sleeps with someone. Or, more funny, he doesn't, but she has.
I don't know if this show is going anywhere, but if you're bored, it wouldn't hurt to watch. Retired at 35 airs Wednesday nights at 10:30 p.m. on TVLand.

God believes in you! God believes in you not because at some point in the past you've "crashed and burned" but because of what the Holy Spirit is doing in your life right now. God's belief in you is so grounded in the life of Jesus that even when you don't believe in him he continues to be faithful to the love and faith already invested in you through the life of Jesus.
There are times in our lives when we find ourselves wandering in a dark jungle of our own making and God seems a million miles away yet when we find time to look back on our life there are genuine times when God displayed his belief in us through blessings. This morning let's look at another aspect of prayer closely connected with yesterday's aspect of praising and thanking first. The prayer I am talking about comes out of taking an honest look back on our lives and discovering God did indeed "go beyond the distance" for us. And as we remember and rehearse God's past blessings through the words of a prayer we will suddenly find ourselves walking in the light of God not in some self-created dark jungle.
And by the way – the same God the Psalmist reflects on is the same God that believes in your and is NOW intimately at work in your life, and you can build your future on awesome FACT that GOD BELIEVES in YOU today!


Today I went to an interesting talk by Nigel Marsh all about work/life balance. What a great speaker! One of the first things he told us is how the "work/life balance" phrase is flawed. "Work/life balance" implies that there should be an even balance between work and personal life- but that's just not realistic. Not only that, different people need different things to feel fulfilled. Does going to the gym every day give us balance? Does having dinner with the family three times a week suffice? Will you feel happy if you get to come in to work at 10am even if it means you have to work until 8pm? No one can really answer these questions because it's different for everyone. What may be joyous for one individual would cause depression in another. I for one would rather sleep an extra hour than get up and exercise at 6am, but others wouldn't function without their morning cardio.
Also, we need to shy away from adding things to our routine because we feel like we "should" do them in order to maintain our sanity. Sometimes I feel like in order to be balanced I SHOULD get home before 6:30pm and I will then start to get anxious at 4:30 when I look at the clock and realise have another three hours of work to do and I won't meet that goal. But is there really a ticking clock of happiness? What does it matter if I get home late one night if I don't even have any plans that evening?I probably would be less stressed if I didn't put pressure on myself to finish everything by this imaginary deadline I've set for no reason. Additionally, I sometimes think I would like to go to yoga more often during lunch, but then dwelling on the fact that I don't have the time for that adds even more stress, thus fueling the feelings that I'm failing at my goals.
Nigel also made a really interesting comment about our perceptions of time. We seem to view this "balance" as something that has to happen all in a day; as if you won't have a good "work/life balance" unless you can leave work on time, as well as get in some exercise, meditation, and time with the family – every.single.day. He challenged us to be flexible with these time frames. Maybe one will feel happier if they can get out on time to do yoga twice a week – even if they work 10 hours days on the other three days. Maybe simply refusing to answer work calls after 7pm will provide some peace. I won't go into all the other points he made (all of which resonated so well with me) but you can hear more about his thoughts on the topic in his TED talk here.
So why am I writing about all of this? Well first off, it was inspiring and I wanted to share. Secondly, as I noted in my update blog last week, work has been crazy. For the entire month of March, there were literally only a handful of days where I worked less than 9-10 hours and at least two times per week where I worked 12 hours or more. I traveled to two countries and three states all in one day and had to get up and go to work bright and early after being awake for nearly 21 hours straight the day before. Now, some of my investment banker friends may laugh at that and think 10 hours is nothing… "oh boo hoo, you had to do it a whole month"… however let me remind you that I do not work for an investment banker salary. And it wasn't just the long hours which were wearing me thin. Not only was I working 10-12 hours per day, I also wasn't taking a lunch break… EVER. I would hold my pee for hours because I just had to finish ONE MORE THING before I got up and walked to the restroom. I turned down dinner and other social invites because I knew I wouldn't get out in time. I stopped walking to work in the morning because I always had my computer and cords in my bag which weren't pleasant to carry on a 30 minute walk, etc. I would get to 6pm on Friday and think… what just happened? Did I just live that week? I just did not stop. So when the email invite for this "How to make the work life balance work for you" talk came into my inbox- I nearly deleted it- because really, how could I take two hours out of my day to go to a presentation when I dont even have three minutes to spare for a pee break. Let's get real, it wasn't going to happen. That was pretty much my "A ha" moment, the moment I knew that email was practically written FOR me! And you know what? I'm really glad I went. It was like a group therapy session for researchers. Ok, maybe not, but it felt good to take time out and do something that was just for me.
Don't get me wrong, I really like my job and absolutely love the people I work with. It hasn't always been this intense. Over the last few years we've had busy times, even busier times, and slow times. A busy month is usually followed by a slower month so it's easy not to feel burnt out. But recently client requests have been increasing, while the hours in my day are not. So how does one manage to keep up? Well in my case, it's by cutting out bits of my life that make me happy. Morning walks, lunchtime or evening yoga, dinner with friends, watching TV in the evening with my husband, blogging (yeah- now you see why I'm so slack)… they all go out the window when you can't say no to new projects coming your way. I think we're all crossing our fingers that we'll be able to hire some more people to manage all the work coming through (and that April will be busy, but not crazy like March), but in the mean time, my amazing (seriously, he's wonderful) boss has been having conversations with me reminding me to breath, not to freak out and blow a gasket, and just to call him when I need help. That support makes all the difference.

Life Force International Member LiquidWholeFood.com Trashes Current Green Office Practices
'Out with the old, in with the new' shouldn't generate garbage, says award-winning liquid vitamins online retailer LiquidWholeFood.com. They are expanding their award-winning commitment to Green Office Practices by using single-stream recycling.
Lancaster, PA, January 02, 2010 --(PR.com)-- On the eve of both a New Year and new decade, one online retailer was working even harder to make sure running their business benefits people on the inside and outside. LiquidWholeFood.com, a Life Force International organic liquid vitamins and liquid supplements dealer, has announced they are now going to recycle more of their business waste than throw out.
"We're really thrilled we now have access to single stream recycling like this," said Darryl Schlicher, owner of the health and nutrition site. He continued, "Just yesterday we got the receptacles in place and went through the garbage cans to pull out the stuff that could now be recycled. We were fastidious before, but I was surprised to see the resulting garbage cans go from almost full to barely full." Single stream recycling is the practice of placing all recyclables in one container instead of the traditional method of separating them. It is only possible to single-stream recycle when the collection contractor is capable of recycling a vast array of waste material.
LiquidWholeFood.com received Green Office certification from Greenline Paper Company in July of 2009. Greenline Paper is a York, PA company that has garnered national attention for its commitment to supplying green products for all office needs and educating businesses on how to "Go Green." Their website description states, it offers special certification to companies that "use energy wisely, recycle, use recycled and energy efficient products, and [are] environmentally savvy."
At the time when LiquidWholeFood.com was certified, single-stream recycling wasn't an option and the company made an extra effort to sort out recyclables and regularly take them to recycling centers. Even with this added contribution, they were still unable to recycle certain items and instead got creative on how to reduce or reuse them so they wouldn't end up in the landfill. Even those extra measures don't compare to what the company is able to do now. "Basically, we're down only to soiled material, such as facial tissues or items with dirt or food waste on them. Kermit was wrong," Schlicher concluded. "It is easy being green."
Further details of LiquidWholeFood.com and Life Force International Green initiatives can be found on the LiquidWholeFood.com website at http://www.liquidwholefood.com/greeninitiatives.html.
About LiquidWholeFood.com:
Life Force International independent member LiquidWholeFood.com is a preferred site for organic liquid vitamins, natural liquid supplements, and other natural liquid health supplements.

Ottavino botches throw, Yankees miss chance to clinch
Posted: Sep 19, 2019 / 02:20 AM UTC / Updated: Sep 19, 2019 / 06:44 AM UTC
Los Angeles Angels' Michael Hermosillo (21) slides past New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka to score on a throwing error by relief pitcher Adam Ottavino during the sixth inning of a baseball game Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2019, in New York. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II)
NEW YORK (AP) — An hour after the Yankees missed a chance to clinch the AL East, reliever Adam Ottavino was back on the field with a ball and glove, standing solemnly halfway between the mound and the plate.
It may still be unofficial, but the Yankees are preparing for October baseball, and New York's mad scientist in the bullpen has work to do.
"It's a do-or-don't league, and I didn't do it today," he said.
Ottavino sailed a 30-foot throw home on Albert Pujols' tiebreaking chopper, and the sloppy Yankees lost to the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 Wednesday night with an opportunity to wrap up the AL East race.
New York still would have won the division title with a Tampa Bay loss at Dodger Stadium later. But with the Yankees waiting around to celebrate with bubbly, the Rays rallied for an 8-7 victory in 11 innings that ended nearly three hours after New York's game finished.
The Yankees had plastic-wrapped the home clubhouse anticipating a Dodgers win before Tampa Bay came back in the ninth. Manager Aaron Boone joked that he was ready to spend the night on the cot in his office waiting for the West Coast game to finish.
"We got pretty close there," Boone said. "We were all ready to go."
The Yankees would have been assured a playoff spot if Cleveland had lost, but the Indians beat Detroit 2-1 in 10 innings.
Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton stung the ball in his return from injury and CC Sabathia got an emotional send-off in his final regular-season start in the Bronx, yet New York dropped to 99-54 after entering the night tied with Houston for the majors' best record.
New York hasn't won the AL East since 2012, the third-longest drought for the club since divisions were formed in 1969.
Angels right-hander Luke Bard (2-2) struck out five over three perfect innings of relief. David Fletcher had three hits and Pujols added two hits, an RBI and a stolen base. Los Angeles had traffic all night and left 13 on base.
Defensive whiz Andrelton Simmons dived to his backhand at shortstop to rob Luke Voit of a hit in the ninth, helping Hansel Robles complete his 22nd save.
"I'm sure they'll get their celebration soon enough," Angels manager Brad Ausmus said. "But I'd rather not be here."
Fletcher loaded the bases in the sixth on an infield single when Voit hesitated at first base on a slow roller, and Ottavino (6-5) blundered two batters later. Pujols hit a big one-hopper toward the mound, and Ottavino missed high and wide trying to toss the ball home. Michael Hermosillo scored to make it 3-2.
"I tried to rush the throw a little bit," Ottavino said. "I wasn't so close that I could flip it, I didn't think, so I tried to make a quick transfer and I just never gripped it."
Ottavino has allowed at least a run in four consecutive outings, pushing his ERA to 1.84. He and Boone agreed his stuff was sharper Wednesday, but Ottavino— who famously rebuilt himself as a pitcher with high-speed cameras in a vacant Harlem storefront — was still upset, especially about Hermosillo's rally-starting double.
"Obviously, really disappointing," he said. "I haven't gotten great results of late. Obviously not tonight. Try to take the emotion out of it."
Aaron Judge hit a tying, two-run homer for New York in the third, his 24th during an injury-shortened season.
Stanton played just his 10th game this year and first since straining the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee June 25. The 29-year-old slugger lined a double into the left-center gap leading off the second inning, socked a 114.3 mph groundout in the fourth and struck out in the sixth before being replaced in the seventh to manage his workload.
Stanton nearly threw out a runner from left field during the third inning, but catcher Kyle Higashioka dropped the ball trying to apply a swift, difficult tag at the plate.
Sabathia, set to retire after the season, made his 147th start at Yankee Stadium, most since the ballpark opened in 2009. He struck out four straight at one point, but then allowed five consecutive batters to reach in the third inning. He left trailing 2-0 with the bases loaded and two outs.
Fans stood and cheered as Boone pulled Sabathia, and the 39-year-old tipped his cap after handing off the ball. Yankees players lined up outside the dugout, and Sabathia smiled wide as longtime teammate Dellin Betances offered up a hug.
"When I saw Dellin, first person I saw, I got a little emotional," Sabathia said. "That's my little brother."
Fans chanted "CC! CC!" while the left-hander embraced more teammates, and Sabathia waved his hat once more before ducking into the dugout.
Domingo Germán, an 18-game winner this year, replaced Sabathia in another trial run of New York's plan to piggyback starters in the postseason. Germán pitched out of the third without further damage and covered 2 1/3 scoreless innings of one-hit ball to keep it tied at 2.
WHO'S THAT?
Bard has been shuttled from Triple-A to the majors and back throughout the season.
"This might be as good an outing as I've seen from Bard going back to the beginning of last year when he was here," Ausmus said.
Angels: OF Mike Trout will have surgery Friday morning on his right foot to treat Morton's neuroma, a thickening of tissue around a nerve leading to toes that causes pain. Trout had already been ruled out for the season. … INF Luis Rengifo was placed on the 60-day IL with a left hand hamate fracture.
Yankees: Stanton will play regularly at DH and left field down the stretch to build up his timing and durability. … Betances was added to the 60-day IL with a partially torn Achilles tendon. New York is awaiting results from a second opinion.
The Yankees pushed back LHP J.A. Happ's scheduled start a day and will throw RHP Masahiro Tanaka (10-8, 4.60) in Thursday's series finale against the Angels. LHP Andrew Heaney (4-5, 4.76) is set to start for Los Angeles.


Discussion in 'Video Game and Fantasy Football Board' started by Gin Buckets, May 12, 2016.
Bought this for my son and he played for the first time today. Said he ended up in jail?
Yeah that makes sense. He can't have any clue what he's doing.
My friend is bugging me to get this game so we can coop online. Is it any good?
Mixed reviews. I purchased it with the intent to play on Saturday evenings with some friends. After a week or so of my friends playing it nonstop, they're bored with it. I've only played it twice and have had tons of fun. What I'm getting at is there isn't much to do and gets super repetitive.
What I'm getting at is there isn't much to do and gets super repetitive.
Got dam. You kids have no idea what 'super repetitive' is. I have no idea how many rounds of tetris I played as a young lad.
game is getting a lot of love on Twitch due to summit. kinda makes me want to get into it. only played it a little when it was first released.
It wanted to like it. Didn't buy at launch after it came apparent it was pretty bare bones. I played a bunch of the betas and had a blast.
Logged on through game pass couple months ago to explore the new island and my crew was still bored. Didn't see any other ship.
What's new his time around?
I'm a jaded lover. It had loads of potential but was ultimately hollow. It was telling when the most memorable moments were just me and some friends dicking around because there was nothing to do outside of repetitive fetch quests.
yeah i'm not sure exactly what has been updated. it's probably just got a higher player count now cause some top streamers are giving it a shot.
i dont like completely linear games, but SoT seemed to have no direction when it was first released. still dont know if it's much more than sail to island, find treasure, sail to new island, find treasure.
but i havent really watched more than a couple hours of new gameplay and maybe it was the users making it appear more fun.
Downloading it now. Anyone jumping on tonight?
Summit1G causing this game to make a huge resurgence. Anyone watch his stream?

Gum Disease Signs Gum Disease Treatment Oral Health & More
Fillings Prevent Cavities Decay Prevention Tooth Decay
Teeth Advances Gum Laser Surgery HOME
ABOUT GUM LASER SURGERY
Two companies who market the laser for dental decay are Premier Laser Systems Inc., of Irvine, CA and BioLase, of San Clemente, CA.
The erbium:YAG laser essentially vaporizes decayed tooth tissue. A stream of laser light that passes through a fiber connected to a pencil-like hand piece is directed to the decay. The laser hand piece looks like the standard hand piece and, like the standard hand piece, must be used in a controlled manner so that it doesn't slip and damage healthy tissue.
"The laser is a cutting instrument," says Susan Runner, D.D.S., branch chief of dental devices in FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health. "And like any cutting instrument, dentists have to be careful any time they use it. The laser has many of the same risks as the drill."
Another similarity between the dental drill and the laser is that both use water and air to cool the tooth and clean the surface during removal of decay. While dentists and patients may wear eye protection during conventional treatment to protect against the spray of water and particles, they must wear goggles during the laser procedure to protect their eyes from straying laser light.
The laser has several benefits over the hand piece: Because laser treatment is usually painless, there is no need for anesthesia or anesthetic injections in many patients, and dentists do not have to wait until their patients' mouths are numb to begin treatment. Also, the laser eliminates the vibrating sensations of the high-speed hand piece
Also, compared with the standard hand piece, the laser can work with better precision, saving more of the healthy tooth. And when the laser procedure is done, patients do not have to wait for the numbness and puffiness related to the use of anesthesia to fade.
For many patients, especially those particularly fearful of the dental drill, the laser has drawn rave reviews. "My patients love it," says Edward Romano, a dentist in Morristown, N.J., who has used the laser since 1997. "They say: 'I can't believe it's so comfortable, that dentistry has come this far.'"
However, the laser is not without its own shortcomings. For one, it can't be used on teeth with fillings already in place. According to Runner, there is the risk of damage to the tooth because the filling heats up. Romano says silver fillings also damage the laser tip. Also, studies show that the laser procedure takes longer than the conventional method.
"The laser is really ideal for virgin teeth -- for new decay," Runner says. "Dental lasers is a growing field, but they can't do everything. There's still a need for the standard hand piece"
Another potential pitfall is expense. In December, Premier Laser Systems was citing a list price of about $45,000 for its Centauri laser. That includes training for the dentist. The standard high-speed hand piece typically sells for around $600.
Premier Laser estimates, however, that while the typical laser procedure costs about $13 more on average than the same drill procedure, the cost reductions of not using anesthesia and having more time to spend with other patients could actually save dentists about $70,000 over three years.
Still, some dentists say they are putting off buying a laser for treating cavities, at least for the near future. "Our position [in my dental practice] is that the laser looks promising," Harms says. "But we're not using it yet. We're waiting for long-term studies and newer tools."
The other alternative to the traditional high-speed hand piece is the air abrasion hand piece Air abrasion involves the use of a high-pressured instrument similar to a tiny sandblaster. A stream of tiny aluminum oxide particles cuts away the decay. There is no heat and no vibration, and often, it can be used without anesthesia. It also can be used to remove some fillings, although it is not yet cleared for removing amalgams (silver-colored fillings).
Harms, who uses air abrasion, says the technique is ideal for small cavities and fillings in children, but she notes, "It doesn't replace the drill."
The longer plaque and tartar are on teeth, the more harmful they become. The bacteria cause inflammation of the gums that is called "gingivitis." In gingivitis, the gums become red, swollen and can bleed easily. Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease that can usually be reversed with daily brushing and flossing, and regular cleaning by a dentist or dental hygienist. This form of gum disease does not include any loss of bone and tissue that hold teeth in place.
Who gets gum disease?
People usually don't show signs of gum disease until they are in their 30s or 40s. Men are more likely to have gum disease than women. Although teenagers rarely develop periodontitis, they can develop gingivitis, the milder form of gum disease. Most commonly, gum disease develops when plaque is allowed to build up along and under the gum line.
When gingivitis is not treated, it can advance to "periodontitis" (which means "inflammation around the tooth"). In periodontitis, gums pull away from the teeth and form spaces (called "pockets") that become infected. The body's immune system fights the bacteria as the plaque spreads and grows below the gum line. Bacterial toxins and the body's natural response to infection start to break down the bone and connective tissue that hold teeth in place. If not treated, the bones, gums, and tissue that support the teeth are destroyed. The teeth may eventually become loose and have to be removed.

Q: Get function arguments value by pointer to this function? I'd like to get value of function arguments by pointer to that function.
def cons(a, b):
    def pair(f):
        return f(a, b)
    return pair

def car(cons):
    # local_a = cons.a
    # return local_a
    pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    assert car(cons(3, 4)) == 3

A: Creating a Signature for the function is easy via the signature function:
    from inspect import signature
def someMethod(self, arg1, kwarg1=None):
    pass

sig = signature(someMethod)

Now, you can either view its parameters quickly by string it:
str(sig)  # returns: '(self, arg1, kwarg1=None)'

or you can also get a mapping of attribute names to parameter objects via sig.parameters.
params = sig.parameters
print(params['kwarg1']) # prints: kwarg1=20

Additionally, you can call len on sig.parameters to also see the number of arguments this function requires:
print(len(params))  # 3

Each entry in the params mapping is actually a Parameter object that has further attributes making your life easier. For example, grabbing a parameter and viewing its default value is now easily performed with:
kwarg1 = params['kwarg1']
kwarg1.default # returns: None

similarly for the rest of the objects contained in parameters.

A: You're on the wrong track. Looking at the code in the new version of your question, you're trying to extract the first element of a Church pair.
cons(3, 4) evaluates to a function that, when passed another function f, returns f(3, 4). To extract the 3, you should pass it a function that takes two arguments and returns its first argument:
def car(pair):
    def firstarg(x, y):
        return x
    return pair(firstarg)

Then car(cons(3, 4)) calls cons(3, 4)(firstarg), which calls firstarg(3, 4), which returns 3.

Robert Yapkowitz's & Richard Peete's Intimate Film Portrait of Karen Dalton
by Greggory Morris • December 7, 2020
Karen Dalton is often championed as one of the most unique and influential folk musicians to come out of the 1960's Greenwich Village scene. It's been a long while since "I've had a music-doc bring about a mind-body-soul experience." By Gregg W. Morris
THE LAST OUT Film Review
Eighty-four minutes of riveting cinematography. An edge-of-your-seat, bittersweet, smashingly lensed story about the fates of three young promising Cuban ballplayers dreaming of making it big in Major League Baseball in the States. Because of the U.S. embargo against Cuba, however, Cuban ball players like them who want to be signed to big contracts must leave their homes to try to establish residency in The Dominican Republic, Haiti or Costa Rica. This Caribbean rite of passage means players must trek the dangerous Central American migrant trail where bodies and atrocities never stop piling up.

TO CALM THE PIG INSIDE (Originally ANG PAGPAKALMA SA UNOS) Film Review
by Greggory Morris • November 29, 2020
Eighten-plus-minutes of exquisite black and white imagery of the gruesome and the horrific rendered beautifully in a narrative using folklore about the ungodly desolation caused by Super Typhoon Yolanda AKA Super Typhoon Haiyan, a Category 5 mega-monster that started laying siege to the Philippines Visayas group of islands, the country's central region, population 17 million people, November 26, 2013. It shook the Philippines to its roots.
This stunning film short is winning one award after another.
DOC NYC 2020 Film Review
Director Aleksandr M. Vinogradov's visually stunning 91-minute film about the Belgian choreographer Thierry Smits's creating his new visually stunning contemporary dance piece, Anima Ardens – stirring up this reviewer's collective unconsciousness and consciousness to a feverish pitch. The athleticism of 11 men, naked, whirling, pirouetting, dashing around huge alabaster stage as well as enmeshing and scrumming with arms and legs and heads and torsos going this way and that, rhythmically and synchronously and kinetically, forming and reforming edificial shapes and collages with human building blocks that expand and melt away into other forms and entities was transfixing.
MIRROR Film Review
Stylized & Minimalistic, Undeniably Delicious & Brooding, Edged With a Touch of Cynicism
by Greggory Morris • October 11, 2020
This reviewer has no idea if Director Christina Yoon ever watched a 'Twilight Zone,' and could care less if she did or didn't. It is only in this reviewer's imagination that there are irresistible similarities between MIRROR and 'Eye of the Beholder,' a Twilight Zone episode. If challenged, I would give Sterling's 5 stars out of 5 for its time. And Yoon's? 5 stars, undeniably delicious.
AFTER CLASS Film Review
by Greggory Morris • October 5, 2020
A familiar ring of a single, hard working mom willing to do whatever she can muster to help her young daughter. But it's the sumptuous way that Director Xiu tells the story with impressive acting by principal and supporting actors, imaginative cinematography, a suspenseful plot with several surprises, a film score poignantly sweet. There will come a time in this film when viewers will gasp like they've never gasped before because of a brilliantly done scene in a exquisitely made film with flawless cinematography. Audiences should also for a tapestry of spell-binding irony.
DESERT ONE Film Review
by Greggory Morris • June 27, 2020
Shimmying like a kinetically charged Hollywood action-adventure film, DESERT ONE can make audiences feel as if they are flies on the wall, eyewitnesses to history through the marvel of a space-time-continuum created for them by a filmmaker in pursuit of truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth regarding The 1979 Iranian Hostage Crisis.
Film Review: THE LAST FERRY FROM GRASS ISLAND – A Palm Springs International ShortFest Nominee for Best U.S. Short
Fate catches up to a retired Hong Kong hit man who found sanctuary, spiritually and otherwise, as a fisherman on the peaceful Grass Island where he dutifully takes care of his mom who is being ravaged by dementia. One day, his former Chinese apprentice shows up to execute him.
Film Review: DAY RELEASE (FREIGANG)- A Palm Springs International Shortfest Nominee for Best Live-Action Short Over 15 Minutes
A hell of a story. Compelling. Picturesque, from the doe eyes of star Anna Suk playing with incredible finesse single mom Kathi (with a felony conviction) struggling to keep the nasty fates and cruel verities of life that have dogged her from being passed on to her wide-eyed son Patrick, played with aplomb by Patrick Schmidl.
A THOUSAND CUTS Film Review by Marivir R. Montebon
"Diaz's film is clear, gripping, balanced – straight from the mouths of journalists, apologists, and the president himself. One is taken to the finer detail of the glorification of power, the abuse of power, and the deadly engagement of writing it as it is."

Corrective osteotomy of the distal radius for malunion has always been a challenging procedure. Deformity involves length, angulation and rotation. Planning an osteotomy on plain x-rays is difficult and in-exact. Reproducing that planned osteotomy in the operating theatre is even more difficult.
Attempts to improve accuracy with the use of CT scanning and even the production of models have met with varying success. More recently however, software (Materialise N.V, Belgium) has been developed which allows the generation of virtual 3-D models of the bones of both forearms from a CT scan following a specific protocol. These models can be manipulated in a virtual environment. The contralateral model can be mirrored and superimposed on the malunion. Following a virtual osteotomy the fragment of the malunited radius can be manoeuvred into a desired post-operative position using the normal radius as a template for correction. Virtual models of a specific plate and corresponding screws can be fitted into the best position.
Reverse engineering this virtual plan allows a series of patient specific guides to be designed and produced using additive manufacturing technology. All the screw holes can be drilled first followed by the osteotomy. The soft tissues are released as necessary and the plate applied.
In comparison to experiences with similar cases done conventionally, the observed accuracy of the surgery is quite astounding. The correction is achieved to within millimetre tolerance. Operative time is reduced. The real strength of this approach is its versatility. The surgeon can sit down with an engineer over the internet and actively participate in the planning of each surgery. In simple corrections this can be straightforward, however more significant corrections require careful assessment and a flexible approach.
The technology will be presented from a surgeon's perspective and three cases used to highlight the versatility of the approach.

Ali Fedotowsky has learned the hard way that kayaking can be dangerous.
The former The Bachelorette star and The Bachelor bachelorette landed herself in the hospital on Sunday after her kayak turned over in La Jolla, CA, during what was supposed to be a recreational activity, People reported Monday.
"Ali and Roberto had a little mishap when their kayak capsized this weekend," the reality TV star's representative told People. "Ali was taken to the hospital and had five staples put in her head."
Fedotowsky -- who got engaged on the sixth season of The Bachelorette to Roberto Martinez and has said the couple is planning a 2011 wedding -- admitted the incident scared her but noted her injury could have been avoided by taking one simple safety precaution.
"Made it out of the ER with staples in my head and a little less hair after falling out of a kayak. Scary stuff. Wearing a helmet next time," Fedotowsky wrote on Twitter on Sunday. "I think I freaked out more when the doctor cut my hair rather than when he put staples into my head. Lol. Very thankful to be ok :)."
Martinez apparently stood by his fiancee's side and aided her through the recovery process.
"Roberto was fantastic," Fedotowsky's representative added. "He kept her calm and took great care of her. She is doing fine, and actually off to work this morning."
Fedotowsky -- who moved to San Diego with Martinez following their engagement last summer and now works as an entertainment reporter for the local Fox affiliate -- said she is receovering well.
"Thanks so much everyone for your concern. Big headache, but managed to hide staples with hair part and I am back at work this morning :)," Fedotowsky tweeted.
Last week, The Style Network announced it is developing a lifestyle weekly series that would be co-hosted by Fedotowsky.

« Browns Coach Mangini Says Cribbs Expected to Play Sunday
Week 11 Preview: Cincinnati at Oakland »
A Few Words from the President of Bears GM Jerry Angelo's Fan Club
November 20th, 2009 Jeff Fisher Posted in Chicago Bears, Off the Cuff
Come with me on a stroll down memory lane, fellow Bears fans…
Flashback to February 2007….
Your Bears were fresh off a Super Bowl season. They headed into the offseason with a lame duck head coach signed only through the upcoming season. National pundits and fans were outraged at the possibility that the first coach to take the Bears to the Super Bowl in 20+ years could actually walk away a season later!
Well, the dude calling the shots did not let that happen. Jerry Angelo did what everyone was begging him to do at the time – he locked up Lovie for the foreseeable future.
Now fast forward from that flashback to the summer of '08…
Brian Urlacher – a 6-time Pro Bowler – was lobbying for a contract extension. Tommie Harris – 3-time Pro Bowler – was getting dangerously close to entering the final year of his rookie contract without an extension in place. Fans across Bears nation were clamoring for Angelo to lock up the cornerstones of the Bears D. Before that season's kickoff, Angelo accommodated our requests by signing both players to long(er)-term contacts.
Dateline: April 2009.
With a young, strong-armed All-Pro QB shockingly on the market and in high demand, Angelo asked the Broncos "What's it going to take to make this happen?" In the blockbuster deal of the decade, the Bears landed Jay Cutler…albeit for a hefty price. And just like that, the Bears had their first franchise quarterback in 60 years.
I won't even get into his nixing of the proposed Briggs-to-'Skins deal that would've netted us what – a talented but inconsistent safety (Laron Landry)? Could your stomach really handle the thought of the 2009 Bears D without Urlacher AND Briggs?
I think you get the moral of this story – let's lay off Jerry.
I'm guessing 90% of you would have done exactly the same thing he did in each of the above instances. But now, with an under-achieving team mired in mediocrity, every Grabowski worth his weight in sausages wants to run GM Jerry out the back door.
Sure, he's missed on some personnel moves:
· Passing on a proven WR to pair with his rocket-armed QB.
· Refusing to stock-pile some young O-line depth (Chris Williams and Josh Beekman could put that argument to rest though).
· Continuously refusing to move up in a handful of drafts to get a difference making player, only to settle for the next best thing.
But let's face it Bears fans – this roster has enough talent to compete for the playoffs (as we did last year and where we are (at least mathematically) this year). Angelo deserves a lot of the credit for that. He built a Super Bowl team through a perfect mix of the draft and free agency. He aggressively acquired our QB of the present and future. He's turned his share of late-round draft picks into productive players (Briggs, Alex Brown, Robbie Gould (who went undrafted), Johnny Knox).
Let's see how the remainder of this season and 2010 shake down before we launch the 'Fire Angelo' social media smear campaign. Jerry won't stand pat this offseason. Coaching changes on the offensive side of the ball are on the horizon, and Jerry will have a hand in that. The team is in good shape cap-wise, which will allow us to lock up some good young players either currently on the roster or through free agency.
So let's cut Jerry some slack. At least for another year.
3 Responses to "A Few Words from the President of Bears GM Jerry Angelo's Fan Club"
Steve McCarthy says:
Let us jump down Jerry's back for these moves. These are huge move and you are listening to the fans? The same fans that continue to pine for the days where you could win championships by running the ball 70% of the time?
He resigned Lovie Smith because they got to the Super Bowl one time. You would have thought that Angelo would have learned his lesson on making decisions like that until after the next season after he signed Dick Jauron long term after a 13-3 season.
Jerry Angelo isn't terrible but he isn't great either. He is middle of the road and you don't win championships with middle of the road.
InScoresofOtherGames says:
Hasn't drafted a pro bowl player since 2004. That's all you need to know. Can't win without drafting good players.
rodney says:
sorry been a fan long time and i think we should have pick up a reciever to help this cutler dont get me wrong i like him we need a reciever to off set what we have they are still young ,fast but young

THE POLICE MURDERS
The report that the Kelly gang of bushrangers have been at the Murray near Barnawartha is now pretty generally credited, and whether they have since crossed the river, are concealed in the ranges about Chiltern, or have returned to their old haunts, seems to be the present problem. The hunting parties appear to be busy, and some definite intelligence ought to be soon received from them. The Murray is said to be well guarded on both sides with police and volunteers, who are continually patrolling the banks. The searching parties will have to adopt some plan of recognising each other, or some serious mistake may happen. It will be seen that the Wahgunyah police have been fired on by another party of police, but fortunately no one was injured. Constable McIntyre, who is in a very weak state of health, has been sent to the police hospital at the Richmond Depot. He gives us some explanatory particulars, which appear with the telegrams in another column.
Constable McIntyre is now in the police hospital at the Richmond depot, having been sent there on Saturday in consequence of the impaired state of his health. The terrible scene which he witnessed, his own jeopardy and narrow escape, occasioned a great shock to his nervous system, the effects of which he is now realising; and when in his race for life he fell from horseback he sustained such injuries and bruises to his back as would be alone sufficient to throw him off duty for a time. He was and still is most anxious to be after the murderers of his comrades, but it is doubtful if he will be allowed to return to the bush until all danger of his being assassinated is over. Being the only eye-witness of the slaughter, it is thought that the bushrangers or their friends might attempt to destroy him, and it is stated that his life has actually been threatened. He says, however, that he has no fear on that account, and that the only threat he knows of was made when he was arresting "Wild" Wright, who muttered to him, "You have escaped once, but you won't next time." A contemporary on Saturday represented McIntyre as saying that on the Friday evening before the murders he fired several shots at kangaroos, and it was this foolish conduct which had probably attracted Kelly and his mates. McIntyre desires us to contradict this, and to say that he never made any statement to that effect. The facts were that on Friday evening Sergeant Kennedy said he had seen several kangaroos in the bush, and asked McIntyre to shoot them. McIntyre found that the game had disappeared, and returned to the camp without firing a shot. The firing at the parrots on the following morning took place under these circumstances:— During the absence of Sergeant Kennedy and Constable Scanlan Constable Lonigan said he had heard a strange noise in the direction of the creek. McIntyre determined to ascertain the cause of the noise, and taking a fowling piece and some cartridges with him he proceeded to examine the locality. He reconnoitered the creek for some distance, but could find no trace of any one, and concluding that the noise had been occasioned by a wombat, he returned. On his way back some parrots attracted his attention, and he fired at them twice. McIntyre also gives us the following particulars, which will further explain some points in the tragedy. When Kennedy and Scanlan left the camp it was with the view of reconnoitring and determining their exact position. There had been a difference of opinion as to what creek it was they had encamped at, some of them thinking that it was Holland's Creek, and others that it was one of the sources of the King River. It was their intention, having ascertained their position, to strike eastward, and form their next camp on the King River. They believed that they were fully 20 miles from the Kellys, as they had information that they were to be found in the ranges near Greta. Between their tent and the creek and a little to the left were two fallen trees, one lying over the other at right angles. In the angle facing the tent McIntyre, on Saturday afternoon, kindled a large fire to make the night cheerful. After he had prepared tea at a small fire at a stump of a tree nearer the tent, he was standing in front of the large fire whilst Lonigan stood in the opposite angle of the fallen trees. The four miscreants suddenly emerged from tall grass on the right of the camp, and advanced in skirmishing order. Edward Kelly was the man on the extreme right of the line, and consequently nearest to the policeman. The events which followed and the shooting of Lonigan need not be again described, but as some persons ask why McIntyre, on seeing Lonigan fall, did not spring forward to seize his revolver, and make a fight, it may be well to point out that the fire and fallen trees intervened between him and Lonigan, and that in addition to this the desperadoes advanced upon him immediately with levelled guns, and would have shot him on the spot if he had stirred. Ned Kelly appropriated all the firearms about the camp before he would allow McIntyre to lower his hands. He inquired particularly as to how the fowling-piece was loaded, and on finding that it only contained round shot he picked them out, and replaced them with bullets. This weapon he then exchanged with one of his accomplices for a single-barrelled rifle. Kelly had thus two rifles, one of his mates a double-barrelled fowling-piece, loaded with bullets, and the other two one gun each, besides revolvers. When they appropriated the tea which had been prepared, they asked McIntyre if it was poisoned, and it was probably for the purpose of satisfying their minds on that point that they required McIntyre to drink the beverage with them. When Kennedy and Scanlan were approaching, the leader of the gang, Edward Kelly, placed one of his men in the tent, stationed his brother Daniel and the other ruffian in the tall grass already referred to, and concealed himself within the angle of the fallen trees where Lonigan was shot. He ordered McIntyre to sit upon the cross-tree, and told him that one of his rifles was for him, and that if he did not act as directed he "would make a hole in him." These arrangements were so made that when Kennedy entered the camping ground he was covered by the rifles of Daniel Kelly and the other two unknown offenders. Scanlan was only a yard or two behind. Both men dismounted together. Kennedy walked a few paces from his horse, was challenged by the bushrangers, and fired at. McIntyre had, in accordance with Kelly's orders, walked up to the sergeant and advised him to surrender. Although Kennedy called out "Stop it, boys," the villains continued shooting, and Scanlan was killed. McIntyre, seeing then that the miscreants intended to slaughter them all, looked about for a way of escape. Kennedy's horse, frightened at the firing, and was rearing about beside him. With a spring he was soon seated in the saddle, and his feet slipped easily into the stirrups. The horse shied, and in urging it forward with his heels he lost a stirrup. Seizing the horse's mane he leaned to one side to catch the stirrup with his hand. The assasins had evidently just fired at him, and concluding from this movement that he had been wounded, they set up a fiendish yell of delight. With the aid of a twig, which he snatched from a tree as he was passing, he was able to gallop out of their sight. He could not look back to see what had become of Kennedy, for if he had done so, he would have been sure to dash his head against some tree. After a perilous ride, he fell from the horse—how, he cannot tell, but supposes he was caught by a branch. The photograph of Kelly which has been circulated amongst the police is, he says, a good likeness, but the outlaw presents a rather altered appearance, as he now wears a square-cut moustache and a short beard—at least he did so when he stuck up the camp.
There can be no doubt that this deplorable affair has found the police in the districts contiguous to the outrage very inadequately equipped. In addition to what has already stated on this subject, it appears that the fowlingpiece possessed by Kennedy's party was borrowed from the Rev. Mr. Sandiford, of Mansfield. The mounted troopers are well trained in sword exercise, which is very well in its way, but it seems to be considered unnecessary to train them to the use of rifles or carbines. For 12 or 18 months before the butts were removed from Sandridge the men of the Richmond depot were regularly exercised at them in revolver practice, and in commending this practice in September last year we suggested that the troopers should also be furnished by carbines, and taught the use of them, a suggestion which has not yet been adopted. The revolver now used by the police is called Webley, and notwithstanding reports to the contrary, is a most effective and reliable weapon. Adams' and Colt's revolvers were both discarded for it. When the men where practising at the butts, Sergeant Fegan, their drill instructor, tested its throwing power, and found that at a distance of 200 yards the bullet struck the target with as much force as if it were fired from a carbine. The thirty fowlingpieces purchased the other day by the government have cartridges containing 18 or 20 round shot, and are said to be deadly at a long distance.
A fear has been expressed that the parties out hunting for the bushrangers might mistake each other in their disguise, and shoot each other down. That this fear was not without grounds will be seen from the following telegram from our Corowa correspondent:—
"Corowa, Saturday.
"Police patrolling both banks of Murray. The Wahgunyah party were fired on last night by another party of police, fortunately without injury. Impression prevails that the Kellys have crossed the Murray. If Christian's report be true there can be no doubt. The difficulty of crossing the river is imaginary. Scores of boats on its banks."
Some understanding should be come to so that the various police and volunteers parties might recognise each other, and so prevent such a dangerous mistake being repeated. The weight of evidence is still in favour of the report that the gang were seen in the Chiltern district, and that one of their number was wounded. Our Chiltern correspondent telegraphs:—
"Chiltern, Saturday.
"Information reached us last evening, and again this morning, that the party of ruffians causing so much excitement are lurking in the ranges known as Rats' Castle, near the Mares' Flats, Indigo Creek. Volunteers can be obtained from the township and about if arms were to be had. The police are very active, and have received fresh news, I hear, this afternoon. It is also said that one of the party must be wounded, as when sticking up Christian's house he could not sit upright. Rats' Castle is well-known to have been the haunt of Sullivan, Power, and Morgan, but the Victorian police also know the place well."
From our Mansfield correspondent we have the following:—
"Mansfield, Sunday, 5 p.m.
"Nothing new has transpired here since I last sent about the bushrangers, but there are all sorts of rumours of their having been met with in various parts of the border, which are not believed here. It was an old trick of Power's to elude the police by appearing to cross into New South Wales, and Kelly is quite capable of the same ruse. Eleven Troopers disguised left here in haste about 11 o'clock this morning for Benalla.."
At a later hour our special reporter telegraphs the following intelligence from Benalla:—
"Sunday, 10 p.m.
"A telegram was received from Superintendent Nicolson at 6 o'clock, stating that the men seen at Barnawartha answered the description of Kelly's party, and two of the horses the description of those taken from the murdered troopers. The police are following up the tracks. The troopers who reached Mansfield from the ranges on Friday came on to Benalla to-night for fresh orders. It came on to rain heavily at sundown."
(FROM THE ALBURY BANNER, NOV. 2.)
In consequence of information received on Thursday last, a number of constables were despatched down the river on the afternoon of that day to the neighbourhood of Bungowannah, where it was anticipated that the murderers might attempt to cross. Large reinforcements of police have already been received on the border, and specially selected men from other districts are expected to arrive to-day (Saturday). There is now a strong cordon of police right along the border, and parties stationed back from the border, so that they can be met if they break through the first line. Every possible crossing is being closely watched by strong parties of police. Warrants for the murder of the police against all four offenders have been received from Victoria, and have been duly backed for this colony.
THE MANSFIELD MURDERS
To The Editor Of The Argus
Sir, —Might one venture to make a suggestion to the chief of the department under which is the police force of this colony?
The constables are not allowed any ammunition for rifle or revolver practice, and if a shot is fired by them they have to make a return of the fact, with details of the circumstances under which that one round of ammunition was expended.
I have been told by a mounted constable that there are men in the force who have never fired a shot at a mark, and whose only experience of revolver practice, is how to keep the pistol clean.
For men so unskilled in the use of firearms to be sent in pursuit of armed and expert ruffians, such as the kellys, is sheer cruelty; and I would suggest that every man in the force should be supplied with at least 300 rounds of ball cartridge per annum, which he should be obliged to use in fair target practice; and that annual prizes should be given for the best shot in each constabulary division, and a very substantial prize for the best shot in the force.
These men would then have some chance of knocking over a bushranger. As it is, they are sent out on very unequal terms.

November 06, 2017 In an effort to help accelerate the development of new technologies that can improve oral health, the ADA announced Oct. 12 it is collaborating with MATTER, a Chicago-based health care technology incubator and industry hub.
"The ADA has always been committed to research and innovation that will advance the practice of dentistry and improve oral health across the board," said Dr. Gary L. Roberts, immediate past ADA president.
According to MATTER's website, it provides space, equipment, mentors, experts and an environment that encourages a fast-track development of technologies and ideas than can help solve health care challenges. It helps innovators and entrepreneurs from across the health care industry collaborate. Their goal: to further develop technology that can improve health care and provide solutions to industry challenges — in an accelerated fashion.
Through the collaboration, the ADA can observe and learn more about what health care-related startups and entrepreneurs are doing to make meaningful innovations. There are currently two dental-related startups at MATTER, including supplyclinic.com, an online marketplace for dental supplies.
"As we look toward the future, improvement in the delivery of dental care becomes more and more dependent on rapid innovation," said Dr. Joseph P. Crowley, ADA president. "We're glad to be partnering with MATTER, whose membership is working to identify and support the growth of next-generation technologies."

Modern windsurfers are confronted with thousands of sail types, sizes, and specifications. If you plan to own more than just a windsurfing sail, take a look at the following quiver building tips.
The number of variables that relate to a sail is nearly infinite. And, to make things even more complicated, just add the sailor's height, weight, the level of experience, and favorite windsurfing discipline.
Spindler believes that wind range should play a critical role in gear buying because "wind range means less messing around, and more time and fun on the water."
It is also important to know if you're building the quiver around some existing core items or if starting out from scratch - modern windsurf boards need less power from the rig, whereas older boards will demand greater drive to get them up-and-running.
The man behind Loftsails considers that you should "stretch" the range of your quiver as much as possible because contemporary sail brands have optimized how many sails their masts will fit.
You should also understand that the difference between a 4.0 and 4.5 is most definitely not the same as between a 7.5 and an 8.0, despite the same difference in square meterage.
"As a general rule you can go 0.5 increments from 5.5 down, maybe larger gaps if you are heavier. Above this, the gaps can be significantly larger. In fact, you can probably jump from 7.8 to that 5.5 straightaway," underlines Monty Spindler.
If you're a recreational windsurfer, don't get a racing sail when a free ride sail delivers more. Try to build a sail quiver around your core board sizes before extending the options above and below.
Windsurfers who only leave home in 18-knot plus winds can be happy with the following equipment combination: a 95-liter wave/freestyle board (for a rider weighing 85 kilograms), a 5.3 sail (18-24 knots), a 4.8 (24-30 knots), and a 4.2 sail (30+ knots).
