Current Updates On The Massachusetts Breathalyzer Problems
This page provides up to date information on the Draeger Alcotest 9510 challenge provided by Local Breathalyzer expert, Attorney Greg Oberhauser who is one of the lawyers involved in the case.
Latest Update: April 4, 2019
Skirmishes over breath tests point to battles to come – Judge excludes '9510' result in vehicular homicide case
Defense attorneys are touting a March 14 decision from Malden District Court as demonstrating persistent dysfunction at the State Police Office of Alcohol Testing, the agency responsible for calibrating the Draeger 9510 breath-testing devices used in the commonwealth.
"We're still finding errors within the protocols," Oberhauser said. "They weren't being vetted. And they have not done their validation studies. That takes a while."

Another success! The use of breath test is suppressed until the Office of Alcohol and Testing can comply. Read a partial part of the ruling below and use the link to open/download the pdf of the full motion.
EXPANSION OF THE COURT'S FEBRUARY 2017 ORDER
On February 16, 2017, this Court ordered that the defendants' Daubert motion be allowed "as to any results produced by a device calibrated and certified between June of 2011 and September 14, 2014, subject to the possibility of a case-by-case demonstration of the reliability of OAT's calibration of a particular device to a trial judge in the court in which the Commonwealth seeks to offer the result as evidence."
Commonwealth v. Ananias, et. al., 1248CR001075, 32 (2017). The parties agree to expand the period for which the instrument shall be deemed "presumptively . . . excluded" from use by the Commonwealth. Id. at 31.
The Commonwealth further agrees not to seek to establish the reliability of OAT's calibration and certification on a case-by-case basis in this enlarged period at trial in any offense alleging a violation of G.L. c. 90, or 90B except in cases alleging motor vehicle homicide by operation under the influence, in violation of G.L. c. 90, § 24G; operating under the influence causing serious bodily injury, in violation of G.L. c. 90, § 24L; and operating under the influence of liquor as a 5th or
greater offense, in violation of G.L. c. 90, § 24(1)(a)(1).12.
The parties have good-faith disagreements as to the date to which this period should be enlarged and agree to submit the question for a hearing. The parties agree to be bound by the decision of this Court. The parties agree that the earliest date at which said period shall end will be August 31, 2017, and the latest date shall be the date at which OAT achieves accreditation.

Latest Update: October 17, 2018
The Court will be holding a hearing on October 22, 2018 at 9:00a.m. at Salem District Court on one unresolved issue — the date before which certain breath-tests shall be excluded. The Commonwealth proposes breath-tests prior to August 31, 2017 should be presumptively excluded, while the defense proposes that breath-tests that depend on a calibration performed prior to the date of accreditation (not yet achieved) of the Office of Alcohol Testing should be excluded. The Court will decide this issue and include the exclusion criteria in its order.

Thousands could seek new drunken-driving trials over faulty breathalyzer
Thousands of people convicted of drunken driving since June 2011 will soon be able to seek to have their convictions set aside and to get new trials as a result of an agreement between prosecutors statewide and defense attorneys.
Oberhauser, a Lowell-based attorney deeply familiar with the science behind the machines, said the state should be forced to prove that the machines are reliable.
"They should be forced to verify that they've got a good product that can be trusted by the public and by the courts," Oberhauser said. "I think more and more the need to get public trust and public safety needs to be forefront."

Defense bar sees lot to like in proposed breath-test deal
The attorneys for the consolidated Ananias defendants are Springfield's Joseph D. Bernard and Thomas E. Workman of Taunton.
Lowell OUI and criminal defense attorney Gregory D. Oberhauser praised Bernard and Workman for "getting the football across the goal line" in Ananias.
"The commonwealth had to wake up and see what was going on," Oberhauser said of the proposed agreement.
With the settlement in Ananias pending, Oberhauser said his advice for defense counsel is to get as many of their clients' cases to trial as possible. With breath tests currently not being introduced by prosecutors, he said he has won 52 of 57 trials since October, most involving clients with test results over .08.
"They need to get all their ducks in a row before we let this black box go out and destroy people's lives," he said.
Mass. legal challenges put breath test results on hold
District attorneys statewide have suspended the use of test results from a widely used breathalyzer machine as the state sorts through thousands of documents that should have been turned over to attorneys challenging the machines' reliability.
Lowell Attorney Greg Oberhauser, who is certified as a forensic lawyer-scientist by the American Chemical Society, said officials have said in court that about 95,000 documents that should have been turned over have since been identified.

Boston 25 News Investigates: Breathalyzer boss fired amid inaccurate testing
According to a spokesman for the state Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, Melissa O'Meara was fired from her position as head of the Office of Alcohol Testing.
O'Meara's Monday dismissal comes after Investigative Reporter Eric Rasmussen pressed the state for answers on Friday about why an investigation into inaccurate breathalyzer tests for suspected drunken drivers had been delayed for weeks.

OUI attorneys see 'Camblin II' as key test of Alcotest devices
SJC ruling may foreshadow fate of 'Ananias' defendants
The justices are scheduled to hear Commonwealth v. Camblin on Sept. 7. It will be the second time the court hears the case.
In Camblin II, the SJC will decide whether District Court Judge Mark A. Sullivan reached the proper conclusion when he ruled on remand that the Alcotest 7110 functions in a manner that "reliably produces breath test results."
Camblin II will be closely watched by attorneys mounting a challenge to the reliability of the Alcotest 9510, currently percolating in Concord District Court in Commonwealth v. Ananias.
Gregory D. Oberhauser of Lowell is a member of the Ananias defense team who filed an amicus brief in Camblin I on behalf of the DUI Defense Lawyers Association.
Oberhauser said Camblin has already been of assistance to defense lawyers in Ananias.
"What the justices recognized in the [Camblin I] decision was that we had a good reason for what we were doing in the Daubert-Lanigan hearings," he said. "Being foreclosed from that [in Camblin] opened their eyes. That helped us quite a bit in Ananias because we were able to get more information on the good and the bad of how [the State Police Office of Alcohol Testing] has been operating and not following forensic science principles."
Thousands of OUIs may blow away – Lawyers: Breath test data hidden
If it is determined that the state withheld relevant evidence regarding the devices, it could affect cases from 2011 to "at least" February 2017, Bernard said.
"We believe this was the intentional withholding of a treasure trove of documents," said Thomas Workman, an attorney and forensic scientist who has worked on the case. "It appears to have been intentional. That's very troubling."

The Memorandum of Decision on the Draeger Challenge
All breathalyzer tests using the Draeger 9510 before September 14, 2014 are in question. That effects 33,000 breath tests because of bad work by the OAT.
…Without demonstrating a scientifically sound methodology, the Commonwealth cannot convince the Court that Alcotest 9510 devices deployed or last certified by OAT prior to September 14, 2014 were calibrated routinely in a manner that would produce scientifically reliable results. Accordingly, any Alcotest 9510 BAC result from a device calibrated and last certified by OAT between June, 2012 and September 14, 2014 presumptively is excluded from use by the Commonwealth in any criminal prosecution.

COMMONWEALTH'S NOTICE OF DISCOVERY
Now comes the Commonwealth in the above-entitled matter and hereby states that it has this day provided copies of the following discovery material to counsel of record for the defendants:
The Commonwealth learned from Draeger, through Brian Shaffer, that after reviewing the Table of breath test results compiled by the consolidated defendants where the IR and EC agreement were outside of the ".008 or 10%, whichever is greater" range, they, with assistance from OAT, began to look into the issue. There is a setting in the instruments that would be set at 38mg/L in order for the agreement to be the ".008 or 10%, whichever is greater" but that the setting was at 60mg/L in two of the instruments from the list and at 30mg/L, a setting more favorable to the subject, in three other randomly chosen instruments not on the list. If set at 60mg/L the IR/EC agreement range would be .0126. As of today's date five instruments have been tested, but more tests will be run on the other instruments moving forward; a plan is being formulated as to how and when that will be done. Based on the Commonwealth's review of the database (2011-October 2015) the only tests falling outside the ".008 or 10% whichever is greater" range are the fifteen listed on the table. The Commonwealth also learned that when the breath test result is near zero the algorithm is not run to check for the IR and EC agreement being within .008 or 10%.
Any additional discovery material will be provided under separate cover upon receipt of same by the prosecutor.
This 1st day of February, 2017.
Respectfully Submitted
For the Commonwealth,

December 28, 2016 Update
A historic challenge is being waged on behalf of all DUI/OUI/DWI defendants in Massachusetts who took the Breath Test (BT) using the Draeger Alcotest 9510 machine. How is this being done and why will be addressed below this is meant to be an information page to keep all apprised of the ongoing litigation.
To start, the BT is also known as the black box that sends you to jail if you blow into it and the reading is over 0.08 percent of ethanol in your blood stream, also called the Per Se Law. The Legislature of Massachusetts felt so confident that the breath test machine was so good that they did not do any testing to see if it is accurate and reliable. No one knows how the machine works and whether it is accurate and reliable.
The above mentioned Challenge is designed to see if the Draeger Alcotest 9510 is scientifically reliable and accurate.
This challenge actually began in 2008 with the old Draeger 7110 machine in an attempt to look at the source code and whether it was actually accurate and reliable. A judge ruled that because the Legislature said it is good then no Court should touch it, hence if it reads over 0.08 you go directly to jail. Case closed. One can see this case called the Camblin (HL) decision. This case is still proceeding almost parallel to the present case.
Well our 4th Amendment, Due Process and the Confrontation Clause does not allow cloak and dagger litigation—to prepare for a defense we as OUI defense lawyers needed to know how the machine works in order to attack the readings. Too many times videos show a person seemingly sober but the machine reads over a 0.08. This is called a disconnect defense, are you going to trust your eyes or the lying machine?
The present case sets new precedence. For the first time in the U.S. we were able to compel the Government to turn over two (2) Draeger 9510 Breath Testing Machines for not only dynamic but static testing of the machine. Dynamic testing is taking the machine apart to see how it works and to test it in a number of different scenarios. Static testing is reading the source code and seeing how the code implements the science and technology along with if it meets industrial standards.
What is the hearing all about?
It is called a Daubert- Lanigan hearing where five (5) issues must be resolved in order for the results of the breath tests can be offered to the fact finder, ie jury. Adopted and endorsed in Lanigan are as follows:
whether the theory or technique can be and has been tested;
whether the theory or technique has been subject to peer review and publication;
whether a particular scientific technique has a known or potential rate of error;
whether standards controlling the technique's operation exists and are maintained; and,
whether the technique is generally accepted in the relevant scientific community.
The Government has the initial burden of proving that the BT results and machine are reliable and accurate then the defense will attempt to show that the reliability of the machine is inaccurate and can't be trusted.
If you are a defendant and want more information, please feel free to contact Attorney Oberhauser at www.Oberhauserlaw.com or at 978-452-1116.
Hearings begin January 17-20, 2017 in Concord District Court, Concord, Massachusetts.
What the defense expects to prove and to show that the machine is not reliable nor accurate.
The source code utilized in the Alcotest
9510 fails to meet accepted industry standards and best practices as it concerns revision control systems, programming best practices and security practices and the use of a USB access key, in the relevant field that results in unreliable Breath Alcohol Content Percentage ("BAC") results;
The source code utilized in the Alcotest 9510 operates using unchecked return values resulting in unreliable BAC% results;
The source code utilized in the Alcotest 9510 utilizes an electrochemical sensor bit location in hardware configuration that results in unreliable BAC% results;
The source code utilized in the Alcotest 9510 operates using uninitialized variables that results in unreliable BAC% results;
The source code utilized in the Alcotest 9510's has flawed data integrity and management programming that results in unreliable BAC% results;
The source code utilized in the Alcotest 9510 operates using clipping of sensors measurements that results in unreliable BAC'% results;
The source code utilized in the Alcotest 9510 operates using a flawed programming for hardware error checking and results in unreliable BAC% results;
The electrochemical sensor used in the Alcotest 9510 experiences fatigue and affects the reliability of results especially with regard to long-term performance of the Alcotest 9510;
The Alcotest 9510 calibration protocols are flawed and do not result in accurate calibration rendering unreliable results;
The Alcotest 9510 fails to detect and accurately report interfering substances and results in unreliable BAC% results;
The Alcotest 9510 methodology implemented in the development and use of the machine does not meet relevant industry standards of traceability, an uncertainty budget or measurement of uncertainty necessary to determine the accuracy of and error rate associated with any reported BAC%, resulting in unreliable BAC% results; and,
The Alcotest 9510's application and methodology relies on flawed scientific theories and principles as applied, including aspects of Henry's Law, and results in unreliable BAC% results.
Furthermore, it is asserted that the Alcotest 9510's methodology and application of the methodology is unreliable and inadmissible as a result of
The lacking of general acceptance in the relevant community as it concerns the source code programming, best practices, calibration methodology, and reliance on scientific principles not applicable to the Alcotest 9510.
That the Alcotest 9510's source code and its operation has not and cannot be adequately subjected to adequate testing, peer review and publication as a direct result of the conduct of its manufacturer.
That there is no reported error rate or attempt to demonstrate unreported and undetected errors that can and do occur in the operation of the Alcotest 9510 using the current source code.
That the Alcotest 9510 methodology, underlying theory or process, is not governed by recognized standards.
Wherefore, for the reasons set forth herein and (1) as set out in the previously submitted reports of various experts and witnesses that give examples and details of these many issues, (2) the memorandum accompanying this motion that summarizes the many issues raised in this motion, and (3) as set forth in the attached memorandum the application of relevant law the Defendant move to exclude the evidence.
Alternatively, the Defendants move for a hearing wherein the proponent of the evidence, the testing results produced by the Alcotest 9510 and any and all opinion testimony, must demonstrate that the evidence is reliable and admissible.
Failure to exclude such evidence, or alternatively, to require the proponent to demonstrate its reliability would violate the Defendants' rights to due process, a fair trial, the confrontation of witnesses, to present a defense, to not have unreliable evidence presented, under the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendments to the Federal Constitution, art. 12 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights, the common law's prohibition to the introduction of unreliable evidence. See Commonwealth v. Camblin, 471 Mass. 639 (2015); Commonwealth v. Lanigan, 419 Mass. 15 (1994); Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, 509 U.S. 579 (1993); Kumbo Tire Co. v. Carmichael, 562 U.S. 1 (1999)' Massachusetts Guide to Evidence, Section 702; see also Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward, National Research Council, National Academies Press (2009).

Fleet boss frustrated by draw with 'Benchmark' Eastleigh
Sep 4, 2017 | Headlines
Ebbsfleet United maintained their unbeaten season yesterday but victory was snatched from them late on by visitors Eastleigh.
Daryl McMahon's side made it eight games without defeat although were denied their second win of the campaign.
After Craig McAllister's equaliser ten minutes from time gained a point for the Spitfires, manager McMahon reflected: "I thought we were well in control at 2-1 and then it was a little error with the ball when we turned it over in our own half. Disappointed because I think we probably should have seen the game out at that point.
"The important thing is we're creating chances. I think we had a fair few second-half that we could have scored from but overall I'm pleased with the attacking, we need a bit of work defensively again, conceding too many cheap goals for us but we'll get that right.
"We reacted well to going a goal down, like we always do. We didn't lack quality after that. I thought we were very good in possession of the ball second-half, we came out and played really well and then it's just a kick in the teeth.
"I didn't think we defended very well first-half, I don't think we got near their midfield," he explained. "Rancey gave us more balance in midfield, won more second balls and freed up Payne and Powell to get forward a bit more."
On their opening eight Vanarama National League games, McMahon said: "You look at Eastleigh and they're probably the benchmark for us as a football club, they've been in the division three years and we've just come into it.
"I think our remit was to go into the division and be competitive. I think we've been more than competitive so far, we've been very unlucky a number of times not to take three points, sometimes down to our own bad play that we need to improve.
"But we're an evolving team. If you look at us, we're very young. You've got Keds the only player in the group over 30, Eastleigh's team has players with hundreds of League games, probably thousands."

You guys have no idea how ready I am for Wisconsin to get back into the Fall weather. This past week it's been in the high 80's and I wasn't too happy about that because the week before that we literally had 60-degree weather. Like mother nature turned on the heat on us again. NOT COOL! Fall is by far my favorite season. I just love everything about it from the candles, decorations, weather, all things pumpkin, Halloween and of course fashion. This week I am showing you guys, my must-have Fall Fashion Staples.
This post is also a collaboration with my friends: Alexis, Steffanie, Kelsie, and Ashleigh. So you definitely want to make sure that you check out their post since we all have different taste in fashion and you can definitely find inspiration from them as well.

Cardigans – Wearing cardigans for me are a must because they're so comfortable to wear with a t-shirt or tank. I own a lot of cardigans and I just continue to purchase them.
Over-sized Knit Sweaters – Uh! Another must. Great way to wear over leggings and a cute pair of boots or even pair of Converse or Vans. Plus keeps you warm.
Shoes – I want to be comfortable when it comes to what I'm wearing on my feet. So booties with either a small heel or no heel, comfy fuzzy slippers for the house, Vans, and of course slouchy boots. I'm not that type of girl who wears boots with big heels on them or over the knee boots because I'm short lol.
Long Sleeve Shirts – I probably own more long sleeve shirts than short sleeve shirts. I like the fuzzy long sleeve shirts or "off the shoulder" style (pictured below).
Distressed Boyfriend/Skinny Jeans – I only wear this style of jeans. I don't like having plain jeans. So this is another must whenever I wear jeans in the fall.
Blanket Scarves – I didn't like these until I started to work at Charlotte Russe like 3 years ago (no longer do!) but Charlotte Russe always had deals on scarfs so I decided to get with the blanket scarf trend and fell in love! They seriously keep you warm.
Down below you'll find some of my other fall fashion staples that I have purchased and can't wait to wear.

Oamaru hosted a minor Argentinean invasion tonight.
We took our three Argentinean visitors out to dinner and were joined by a fourth.
We chose Cucina, which is owned by an Argentinean couple and by coincidence three of their compatriots were sitting at the table beside us.
Tonight I'm grateful for delicious food in delightful company and the serendipitous meeting of so many people from Argentina.

How to Dad fence climbing edition
If you haven't already discovered How to Dad on Facebook and Youtube, here's a good place to start:
Internet star 'How To Dad' has released a hilarious new video, this time teaching his baby daughter how to climb a fence.
Jordan Watson, the man behind the popular Facebook and YouTube series, demonstrates many ways of climbing a fence in the video – from the classic 'farmer dad' to the ungraceful 'city slicker' and the impressive 'stunt man'.
He posted it to the NZ Farming Facebook page, which has been providing help and support after this week's devastating earthquakes.
"Hopefully this gives people a brief smile while all this madness goes on. I'm up the top of the North Island so it's not affecting me, but I know a lot of people are doing it hard. So hopefully my videos give them 10 seconds of escapism," says Watson.
His 21-month-old daughter features in the video, watching his antics while remaining completely unimpressed. . .

Stranded cows surfed to survival – Charlotte Shipman:
A geologist says the cows stranded on a quake island likely "surfed" the land as it crumbled around them.
Their image went around the world; two Hereford cows and a calf stranded on a tiny piece of pasture thrust two-and-a-half metres above the ground.
Stranded cows rescued from quake island near Kaikoura
GNS engineering geologist Sally Dellow flew over the cows yesterday with Newshub, and she says they likely surfed the land as it crumbled. . .
Quake cows won't be slaughtered – farmer – Simon Wong:
Kaikoura's three world-famous cows were never destined for the slaughterhouse, says the farmer who owns them.
The two Hereford beef cows and a four-month-old calf made headlines when they were stranded on a small, elevated patch of pasture following Monday's 7.5 magnitude earthquake, and Newshub's footage of them was broadcast around the world.
Stranded cows 'surfed' to survival
Stranded cows rescued from quake island
The animals were rescued from their precarious location on Tuesday morning after owner Derrick Millton and a group of five others dug out a track to get them down.
"Once they got off, they drank the water which was in the pond at the end of the block, they've got plenty of feed there, and they just needed to rest because like anyone in the earthquake they had a pretty horrific time." . .
Farmer flies in to help quake-trapped family in Kaikoura – Glen Scanlon:
Andrew Bowmar sums it up pretty simply: "It's just what you do when you need to help."
When the magnitude 7.5 quake struck yesterday he was at home near Gore with partner Lucy Millton. The problem was Lucy's mum and family were on their farm in Waipapa, on the southern bank of the Clarence River outside Kaikoura.

Mr Bowmar, a farmer, said he needed no convincing – the choice was easy. He and Ms Millton got his Cessna 185 out and were in the air by 8am on their way to find out what was happening. . .
This is becoming sabotage – Peter Jackson:
It's all very well for the likes of SAFE and Farmwatch to lobby for animal rights and the prevention of cruelty, but SAFE went too far with its 'Drop Dairy' billboard in Auckland's Hobson St.
The billboard, showing a bobby calf carcass draped over a map of the North Island, was part of an on-going campaign aimed at raising awareness of the fact that approximately two million unwanted dairy calves are killed at a few days' old every year. . .
Cycle trail ruling frustrates local council –
An Environment Court ruling against the planned Oreti River section of the Around the Mountains Cycle Trail is a blow for communities in the area, Southland District Council says.
Mayor Gary Tong says he's deeply disappointed by the court's decision to uphold an appeal by Fish and Game Southland.
He says areas like Lumsden, Mossburn, Five Rivers, Garston and Athol are reporting significant benefits attributed to increased visitor numbers as a result of the cycle trail development. . .
Syrian food production at all-time low:
Food production has dropped to an all-time low in Syria where millions of hungry civilians are struggling through their sixth winter in a war zone, UN agencies are warning.
Many farmers have had to abandon their land, unable to afford the soaring cost of seeds, fertilisers and tractor fuel, the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Food Programme said on Tuesday.
Wheat output – vital for making flat loaves of bread which are a staple of the Syrian diet – dropped from an average 3.4 million metric tonnes harvested before the war began in 2011 to 1.5 million this year, they said in a joint report. . .

Clinton let her people down
I am appalled by Donald Trump's misogyny and narcissism but I think he won the presidential race in spite of those traits rather than because of them.
I don't think Hillary Clinton lost because she was a woman and I simply don't believe this:
Recently I met a man whose wife is a pilot for American Airlines. Occasionally, he told me, she flies with a female co-pilot. At those times, in certain parts of America, a male passenger will board the plane, see that the cockpit contains two women, and turn around and get off. He would rather not fly than travel in a plane in female hands. . .
On all but the smallest of planes it's difficult if not impossible to see the pilots. Whether or not the door to the cockpit is open, one of the cabin crew stands in front of it as passengers enter.
How could someone get on, see both pilots, be more worried about their gender than getting to his destination, get off past the other passengers getting on and not trigger a full-scale terror alert?
The writer, Jennifer Egan continues:
We've watched Hillary bear, with dignity . .her shocking defeat by Donald Trump. She is a consummate leader: wry, forbearing, mature.
On election night she didn't have the courage and composure to face her supporters.
Those hard-core Democrats, who would have worked very, very hard to help her win, had to make do with campaign manager John Podesta.
Failing to front wasn't dignity.
It was putting herself before her supporters most of whom were volunteers who would have been just as upset as she was.
Failing to front wasn't the act of a consummate leader.
It was a total lack of leadership.
It wasn't wry, forbearing or mature.
It was the opposite.
She let her people down.
We were with Americans the weekend before the election. They said they didn't like Trump but they didn't trust Clinton.
Her election night failure to front her supporters gives credence to their doubts of her.
If she couldn't do the right thing on election night, tough though it would have been, how would she have acted when faced with the even tougher tests a president must face?

Praise, Gratitude, & Joy – Page 4 – The new Praise, Gratitude, & Joy seeks to encourage, enlighten and convince today's mature woman of a fundamental fact: "You are never too old to become what you were meant to be." God had a plan when you were formed. Retirement in today's society happens long before we have reached the end of our potential to serve the Lord.
Hope you have a wonderful day. Day two of VBS. Love seeing all the children learning about God.
I may go to the beach after Church today.
Closer and Closer – Still Much To Do!


When it comes to your oral health, proper gum care is just as important as tooth care. And it also turns out that the health of your gums is intricately linked to the health of the rest of your body. Recent research has shown a clear link between gum disease and serious system conditions including heart disease, strokes, respiratory disease, reproductive difficulties, diabetes… even some forms of cancer.
At Family Dentistry of Royal Oak, we take the health of your gums very seriously. We are careful during your cleanings to remove traces of plaque and tartar from beneath the gumline, and during your examinations, we'll perform assessments to check for any signs of gum disease. We'll teach you ways to prevent gum disease from ever starting, and if you already have gum disease, we'll work hard to stop it in its tracks.
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the gum tissue and bone that holds your teeth in place. In it's mild stages, the most common symptoms are redness, swelling, and some tenderness. As it progresses, you are likely to develop bleeding in the gum tissue when you brush your teeth and pockets around your teeth as your gum tissue recedes. These pockets provide an opening for bacteria and infection to thrive.
Gum disease is most common in people who aren't in the habit of regularly brushing and flossing their teeth, but it can also develop in people who are simply more genetically prone to the condition.
At your appointments, we'll discuss your brushing and flossing habits and help you improve your technique to reduce your risk for developing the disease.
In the early stages, gum disease can be treated (and even reversed) with a renewed commitment to good dental hygiene habits and the addition of a few antimicrobial products.
After gum disease passes a certain point, however, the damage it causes can no longer be reversed (except through surgery) although its progress can be slowed and even stopped.
Deep cleanings known as scaling and root planing are used to clean out the pockets caused by gum disease. These cleanings destroy bacteria and smooth out the surfaces of the roots of your teeth to remove the places where bacteria can cling. An antibiotic called Arestin is also applied locally to the pockets to prevent bacteria from returning.
If you have gum disease, we'll work with you one-on-one to create a comprehensive treatment plan so that you can have the best results possible. Call us today to schedule an evaluation and examination with Dr. Chalasani so we can get started.

Edward Trowbridge Collins Sr. (May 2, 1887 – March 25, 1951), nicknamed "Cocky", was an American professional baseball player, manager and executive. He played as a second baseman in Major League Baseball from  to  for the Philadelphia Athletics and Chicago White Sox. A graduate of Columbia University, Collins holds major league career records in several categories and is among the top few players in several other categories. In 1925, Collins became just the sixth person to join the 3,000 hit club – and the last for the next 17 seasons. His 47 career home runs are the fewest of anyone in it. Collins is the only non-Yankee to win five or more World Series titles with the same club as a player.

Collins coached and managed in the major leagues after retiring as a player. He also served as general manager of the Boston Red Sox. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939.

Early life
Born in Millerton, a 384-acre village in Dutchess County, New York, Collins was unique in his time in that he was focused on both his athletic skills and his education and intelligence. He graduated from Columbia University (where he was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity) at a time when few major league players had attended college.

He started his professional baseball career on September 17, 1906, when he signed with the Philadelphia Athletics organization at the age of 19. At the time of his signing, Collins was still a student at Columbia, and he played some of his early minor league games under the last name of Sullivan so that he could protect his collegiate status. Collins had lost his collegiate eligibility when it was discovered he played with Plattsburgh and Rutland in the 1906 Northern Independent League. He then signed with the Athletics and made his debut.

Major league career

Philadelphia Athletics

After spending all but 14 games of the 1907 season in the minor leagues, he played in 102 games in 1908 and by 1909 was a full-time player. That season, he registered a .347 batting average and 67 steals. He would also be named the A's starting second baseman in 1909, a position he would play for the rest of his career, after seeing time at second, third, shortstop, and the outfield the previous two seasons. In 1910, Collins stole a career-high 81 bases, the first American League player to steal 80+ bases in a season, and played on the first of his six World Series championship teams.

Collins was renowned for his intelligence, confidence, batting prowess and speed. He is one of only five players to steal six bases in a game, and the only person to do so twice, with both occurrences happening within eleven days, on September 11 and September 22, 1912, respectively. He was part of the Athletics' "$100,000 infield" (and the highest-paid of the quartet) which propelled the team to four American League (AL) pennants and three World Series titles between 1910 and 1914. He earned the league's Chalmers Award (early Most Valuable Player recognition) in .

In 1914, the newly formed Federal League disrupted major league contract stability by luring away established stars from the AL and NL with inflated salaries. To retain Collins, Athletics manager Connie Mack offered his second baseman the longest guaranteed contract (five years) that had ever been offered to a player. Collins declined, and after the 1914 season Mack sold Collins to the White Sox for $50,000, the highest price ever paid for a player up to that point and the first of only three times that a reigning MVP was sold or traded (the others being Alex Rodriguez in 2003 and Giancarlo Stanton in 2017, both to the New York Yankees). The Sox paid Collins $15,000 for 1915, making him the third highest paid player in the league, behind Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker.

Chicago White Sox

In Chicago, Collins continued to post top-ten batting and stolen base numbers, and he helped the Sox capture pennants in 1917 and 1919. He was part of the notorious "Black Sox" team that threw the 1919 World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. However Collins was not accused of being part of the conspiracy and was considered to have played honestly, his low .226 batting average notwithstanding.

In August , he was named player-manager of the White Sox and held the position through the  season, posting a record of 174–160 (.521). HIs two full seasons were the only winning seasons enjoyed by the White Sox from 1921 to 1936.

On June 3, 1925, he collected the 3,000th hit of his career to become the sixth player in major league history to join the 3,000 hit club, doing so for the White Sox off pitcher Rip Collins of the Detroit Tigers at Navin Field on a single. Incidentally, this was also the first game in which there were two members of the 3,000 hit club playing in the same game, as Ty Cobb played center field.

Return to the Athletics
Collins returned to Philadelphia to rejoin the Athletics in  as a player-coach. For all intents and purposes, however, his playing career was over; he recorded only 143 games in his last four years, mostly as a pinch hitter. The A's won the World Series in 1929 and 1930, but Collins didn't play in either Series. His last appearance as a player was on August 2, 1930.

Collins finished his career with 1,300 runs batted in. To date, Collins is the only MLB player to play for two teams for at least 12 seasons each. Upon his retirement, he ranked second in major league history in career games (2,826), walks (1,499) and stolen bases (744), third in runs scored (1,821), fourth in hits (3,315) and at bats (9,949), sixth in on-base percentage (.424), and eighth in total bases (4,268); he was also fourth in AL history in triples (187).

He still holds the major league record of 512 career sacrifice bunts, over 100 more than any other player. He was the first major leaguer in modern history to steal 80 bases in a season, and still shares the major league record of six steals in a game, which he accomplished twice in September 1912. He regularly batted over .320, retiring with a career average of .333. He also holds major league records for career games (2,650), assists (7,630) and total chances (14,591) at second base, and ranks second in putouts (6,526). Collins is one of only 31 players in baseball history to have appeared in major league games in four decades.

Front-office career
Following the A's 1930 World Series victory, Collins retired as a player and immediately stepped into a full-time position as a coach with the A's. After two seasons as a coach, Collins was hired as vice president and general manager of the Boston Red Sox. The new owner, Tom Yawkey, was a close friend and had bought the Red Sox at Collins' suggestion. He assumed management of a team that had bottomed out from a long decline dating from their sale of Babe Ruth; the 1932 Red Sox finished 43–111, the worst record in franchise history.

Collins remained GM through the 1947 season, retiring at age 60 after a period of declining health, thus ending 41 years in baseball.  During his 15 years as general manager, Collins helped turn a dreadful team into a contender once again. After two years rebuilding the awful team he had inherited, Collins managed winning seasons in seven of his final twelve years as general manager. His 1946 team won the Red Sox' first pennant since 1918. In May 2018, shortly after the City of Boston reverted the name of Yawkey Way to its original name of Jersey Street at the Red Sox' request, the Red Sox removed plaques honoring Yawkey and Collins from outside Fenway Park, reportedly due to Collins' refusal to sign black players. Present owner John Henry had made considerable efforts to separate the team from its perceived racist past. Collins' plaque had been in place since 1951.

Collins was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939.

He struggled with major heart problems for several years at the end of his life. He was admitted to a hospital in Boston on March 10, 1951, and died there due to the heart condition on March 25 at age 63.

Managerial record

Legacy
In 1999, he was ranked number 24 on The Sporting News' list of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players, and was a nominee for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team. He played on a total of six World Series-winning teams (1910, 1911, 1913, 1917, 1929, and 1930), though he did not participate in any of the final two series' games.

Under the win shares statistical rating system created by baseball historian and analyst Bill James, Collins was the greatest second baseman of all time.

His son, Eddie Jr., was an outfielder who played for Yale University. He briefly saw major league action (in 1939 and 1941–42, all with the A's) and later worked in the Philadelphia Phillies' front office.

Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh's Song 'Love Charger' Tops Jimmy Fallon's List. Do Not Play, List!
If you are still wondering why Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insaan (GRRSI) is making films, you are no exception. Hopefully this piece of news will help him understand why we DON'T want any more sequels of his film Messenger of God. Giving out a strong message about GRRSI is none other than comedian and television host Jimmy Fallon. Yes, the man is that famous (or infamous) to have found a mention on Jimmy's popular series, 'The Tonight Show.' In the recent episode of 'The Tonight Show,' Jimmy introduced the west to GRRSI's rock number, 'Highway Love charger.' Yes, he really did, but the segment it was mentioned in is definitely not going to go down to well with the self-confessed godman's followers.
We are well aware of Jimmy's 'Do Not Play' segment where he gives viewers a list of some of the worst music albums in the world and strictly advise against listening to them. And the segment, in the last episode, was kick started with GRRSI's 'Love Charger,' which topped Fallon's hot list.
The comedian-actor-host introduced the album saying that it was a real artist's work and roughly 10 seconds after playing the music strictly advised viewers to not play the track.
Hope you are reading this GRRSI! This charger has fused completely. Check out the 'awesome' song right here. Don't miss out the lyrics!

Q: LibGDX Screen Resize with ClickListener I am trying to create a simple platformer game using Java and LibGDX.
However, whenever I resize the menu screen, I have issues with my ClickListeners. The ClickListeners are not 'listening' at the right place in the screen.
I have a feeling that camera.unproject(); might work but I don't know where to implement it.
I have looked at many questions on Stack Overflow but have not found an answer that works.
Here is my code:

A: I have recently solved the solution.
IntelliJ IDEA just needed a refresh. If this happens to you, modify your build.gradle file (e.g. add a random line break then delete it).
The software will then come up with a prompt to resync your gradle project files; click 'Yes'.

A: In your resize() method, try updating the stage viewport after menuTable.setSize() instead of before.

We live in a world of modernization and technology where the world has become so fast that the people sometimes fail to cope up with the speed of time and situations. Thus this has become the foremost reason for most of the medical issues lately people have been facing and going through and every time it is not possible for them to take out sometime from their busy schedule to consult the doctors and buy the medications for themselves and specially in the cases where the prescribed medicine is allergic or not working out to give the patients the desired results. Then there comes the need of a doctor and a prescription which is present just a click away and is always there to help with most of the medical issues. That solution has broadly been classified as Online Chemist.
This concept is very much new to this world because there was a serious need of it for the patients who have not much time for everyday consultation and everyday medicine shopping time. Thus this concept of Online Chemist has been doing really well and has managed to gain much popularity lately. But most of the people in the world are still not aware about the services they can avail from the Online Chemist which we have been describing in our next section.
There are certain times at which you are not able to avail the medicines which have been prescribed to the patient and at that time you can avail the services of the Online Chemist which would never fail to understand your needs.
The benefits are numerous but some of them are going to be counted in this section like there can be chances when you have certain problems regarding the prescribed medicines such as the allergic responses but if you consult the Online Chemist then you get an expert advice from many doctors and physicians all over the globe to help you out with the alternatives which you can order at that time and you can avail them at your convenience.
Our services can be availed by the customer's at the most reasonable prices as we understand how important it is for them to avail their medications at the best possible prices and sometimes at great discounts also. Because unlike the medical store chemists we have been thinking and understanding the needs of our customers very well.
We have been receiving a great response from all over the world and we have been successful in managing our trade as our clients have been showing an immense faith in us and they have believed in our services. To some extent we have tried and reached out loud in the audience as some of them have been making us a first choice on their priority list and this makes us very proud and motivates to work more hard each day for the clients and make a difference in their medications and their pocket too so that they feel that they have been trusting and making a trade with the best chemists all over.

'Zero Trust' Requires Sophistication
By Yulia De Bari, Vishal Salvi March 2020 | Article | 12 min read | Email this article | Download
Total business loss from cybercrime will rise to $6 trillion in 2021, up from $3 trillion in 2015. 1 A significant proportion of this crime is caused by internal actors. It can often feel like a business that is trying to protect its data simply doesn't know who to trust anymore.
Zero Trust was defined as an approach to protect against cybercrime back in 2010, by John Kindervag at Forrester Research. But more recently, it has grown as a popular concept in cybersecurity circles. The often oversimplified and common narrative is that companies should not trust anyone, and that they should verify all the possible parameters before providing access to any information. But applying Zero Trust effectively requires a lot more sophistication.
Who to trust?
Zero Trust is different from its predecessors. Earlier approaches to information security focused on protecting the external perimeter — ensuring that no "outsider" could enter (e.g., through the use of firewalls or virtual private networks) and gain access to important information. The assumption was that anyone on the inside wasn't a threat. But today, insider threats are becoming more frequent. According to Verizon's 2019 Data Breach Investigations Report, 34% of breaches that occurred in 2018 involved internal actors. 2
This does not necessarily mean that a third of employees are criminals. Often, these actors are unaware that they have enabled a breach. Today's users and devices often interact outside the corporate perimeter (Figure 1) and can bring in unwanted threats. So does that mean companies literally cannot trust absolutely anyone and anything?
Security architecture has always relied on trust models. Yet the common narrative about Zero Trust has a few misconceptions. First, the model is often perceived as an alternative to earlier approaches to information security and as a replacement, rather than as something that can coexist with the other models. Second, it is perceived as an absolutely binary approach. A company can either have it or not. There is no middle ground.
But this is not the case. To be effective, Zero Trust relies on a much more sophisticated understanding of how to balance the needs of a business, its employees and its partners with the need for security. To understand this better, we must first consider the meaning of the word "trust."
Figure 1. As businesses become more connected and flexible, securing trusted touchpoints becomes increasingly complex.
What is trust?
Trust is defined in the dictionary as a firm belief in the reliability, truth or ability or someone's strength. In the digital world of cybersecurity, the use of the word trust is very intriguing. It is not only a feeling of confidence and security in someone or something, it is also a set of expected behaviors or an abstract mental attitude.
Trust creates conditions that lead to the emergence of new capabilities between parties that otherwise wouldn't exist. Without digital trust, companies could not innovate quickly, as they would always be on the defensive — unsure whether to rely on their colleagues to deliver their needs.
According to Gartner, "Trust is the bidirectional belief established between two entities that the other entity is what it claims to be and that it will behave in expected ways during the duration of the interaction. Trust leads to access to capabilities between the entities that otherwise should not be possible." 3
Furthermore, there are several implications to this, say Gartner. First, "Trust is not inherently a good thing. Trust is what we use in lieu of absolute certainty. However, we need trust to extend or access capabilities that otherwise should not be possible." 3 Take, for example, customer trust. When a person buys something online from Amazon, he or she doesn't know for sure whether the product's described qualities are true. By making a purchase, customers believe that their expectations will be met. Before they believe, they need to be able to trust the provider. Customers' trust can disappear at any time. Nevertheless, it is a mandatory and necessary stage in the formation of belief.
Lack of digital trust would slow down the ability of companies to innovate while making them defensive
Second, "Trust is not absolute, binary or static. It is an indication of the relative level of strength of the assurance of the belief. Further, the level of trust is dynamic and changes over time. Thus, access to the capabilities should be adapted." 3 Most "data leakage" incidents occur due to human mistakes. Insiders are particularly dangerous. They are just ordinary users of corporate IT systems such as employees, contractors and customers. All it takes is one careless mistake. Many insider users become victims of social engineering attacks such as phishing via email or social networks. And some leak confidential information on purpose.
Third, "To compensate for the risk of extending capabilities based on a belief, we should monitor for expected behaviors during the interaction. If behaviors deviate from expectations in a risky way, access to the capabilities should be adapted or removed entirely." 3
For us humans, trust is a feeling. This feeling is contextual and built on endorsements or past experiences. But what about trust in the cybersecurity world? Is digital trust absolute or contextual?
Explaining the Zero Trust model
Companies have to think of Zero Trust as an additional layer to existing security. This approach is not binary. It is actually more about understanding behaviors and expectations. And that means understanding the context is key.
Figure 2. Contextual control prevents leaks by blocking unauthorized attempts to transmit data.
Sometimes people will work on specific projects or initiatives that may require additional access to resources. Someone from a finance department may need access to an employee database. Granting or denying access in this case depends on that person meeting certain requirements.
In the security world, these decisions are based on the foundation that prior to approving, denying or verifying a data transaction one would have to validate the Five W's: Who, What, When, Where and Why (Figure 2). This makes digital trust contextual.
The field of information security is and will always be a risk management function. The most common characteristics of the risk management function are trade-offs. They are risk acceptance decisions. During the implementation of security controls, trade-offs occur across different stages. And before making a final decision, one will have to make final adjustments and implement appropriate security controls based on a risk assessment.
The main assumption of Zero Trust is not about trusting nobody. It is that your company is constantly being compromised. It also means that the traditional model of perimeter-based security is outdated. Therefore, businesses need to implement continuous security controls within and outside the perimeter, i.e., across people, devices, data, networks and workloads. This can be done through a combination of strategies that includes strong identification, authentication, authorization, isolation, segregation, encryption, obfuscation and automation tools.
Zero trust is about operating under the assumption that your business is constantly compromised
More than Zero Trust
The pure English meaning of the word combination "Zero Trust" challenges the risk management principles, adaptive nature of security controls, defense in-depth principles and trust relations across entities in security management.
Businesses can't have zero trust — it will kill them. What they need to do is to continuously monitor against behaviors and expectations. This will enable them to proactively discover, assess and prioritize risks. They need to understand what the expectations are to use a certain application or data. They need to analyze the behaviors within the system that people, devices and applications are displaying. Based on that, they need to design contextualized security controls that determine final decisions. Flexibility is important.
To leverage Zero Trust into any security program, businesses can take the following three steps: First, operate under the assumption that the business is constantly under attack. Build security controls and responses based on this assumption. Second, replace the traditional model of perimeter-based security with context-aware, flexible and programmable security platforms. Discover, assess and monitor threats continuously. Third, design integrated, flexible and programmable security into systems, processes and people from the start. This approach will create an adaptive system that is not binary and understands context and expected behaviors. It will allow businesses to maintain defense in-depth principles and build trust across entities. Moving away from the security posture of default denial, this approach will help design and build strong multidimensional and comprehensive security parameters.

Gil's Home Sweet Home project achieved critical acclaim by actively involving the children of the Charlotte school system in the creation of a giant mural. As a result of this project, Gil met with then Senator of New York and current Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and presented her with one of his paintings.
His Nuestra Bandera, Nuestro País, Nuestro Hogar (Our Flag, Our Country, Our Home), united displaced Colombians around the world by having them place their handprints on a giant canvas. The canvas was presented in 2010 to Colombian President Alvaro Uribe during Colombian's bicentennial celebration in Bogota. These efforts have earned Gil international recognition from the Latin community with recent awards like the Premio Nueva Generacion (New Generation Awards) and the Premio Huella Colombiana en el Exterior. In addition, Gil was named Latino of the Year by Agencia EFE joining a select group of individuals that include Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Journalist Jorge Ramos.
His most recent social art project, Flag of Hope, will see Gil travel throughout North Carolina once again collecting handprints and signatures to develop the nation's first handprint flag made of North Carolina residents. A new project in recent years has been Painting4Diversity which works with concepts of diversity through art projects in select schools in three North Carolina cities. He has also worked with CMS program Making It Better and a project called Ten Faces of Diversity. Two of the ten designated projects have been completed so far. He is also extremely involved with diversity workshops in the community and at local universities such as Queens University of Charlotte and UNCC. Other groups he has worked with include Leadership Charlotte, and International House.

Changan Automobile
China has a new Tesla clone, and it starts at just $26,000
Fred Lambert | Sep 21 2022 - 3:53 am PT
Chinese automaker Changan Automobile has launched a new electric vehicle that strongly resembles the Tesla Model 3, but it starts at just $26,000.
Tesla has had some issues with Chinese companies getting "inspired" by its designs in the past. Those vehicles are often referred to as "Tesla clones."
We previously reported on China's Xpeng copying Tesla's vehicle user interface and even its website at one point. Tesla is even suing a former employee who the company believes stole information about its Autopilot for Xpeng.
Now Tesla is facing a new major competitor in China that some believe took some inspiration from Tesla.
Changan Automobile, a state-owned automaker, recently launched the Shenlan SL03, a small electric sedan. The front end of the vehicle where the bonnet meets the fascia looks very similar to the Tesla Model 3:
The vehicle's dimensions are also extremely similar to the Model 3. It is only about 4 inches longer, but it has virtually the same wheelbase, width, and height.
Also, the interior is very minimalist and features a large horizontal center display like in the Model 3.
The display also appears to feature a user interface that mirrors Tesla's:
Software features, especially the user interface, is the most often copied feature used by Tesla clones.
In terms of specs, the base version comes with a range of 515 km (320 miles) based on the Chinese standard. A bigger battery pack is also available with a longer 705 km (438 miles) range.
Those options are comparable to what Tesla used to offer before it stopped taking orders for the longer-range Model 3 in China – presumably because of an extended backlog of orders.
Where the Shenlan SL03 shines is with its pricing. The electric car starts at just ¥183,900, which is the equivalent of about $26,000 USD.
In comparison, the Tesla Model 3 starts at ¥279,900 in China, or about $40,000 USD.
Electronics giant Huawei and CATL, a battery cell manufacturer and a major supplier to Tesla, have participated in the development of the Shenlan SL03 with state-owned Changan Automobile.
The company took over 15,000 reservations for the new electric car only hours after launching it. It plans to deliver the first units to customers by the end of the year and ramp up production to eventually 15,000 units per month.
What do you think of the Shenlan SL03? Is it a Tesla clone? Let us know in the comments section below.
