In 2008, Lisa Martinez opened a teeth whitening salon at a mall in Waterford, Connecticut. The business thrived. But thanks to a recent decision by the Connecticut State Dental Commission, Martinez could face a felony charge punishable by up to five years in prison and $25,000 in fines if she continues to brighten smiles.
Businesses like Martinez’s have gobbled up the teeth whitening market in recent years, applying over-the-counter products for about a quarter of what dentists charge. That may explain why the commission, | which consists almost entirely of licensed dentists, made it a crime last June for anyone but a licensed dentist to offer such services.
The commission has statutory authority to define “the practice of dentistry,” which requires a state license. In concluding that teeth whitening qualifies, it cited “inherent risks” associated with the service. But its chairwoman, Jeanne Strathearn, admitted there were no “reports of specific harm.” Even the typically restrictive Food and Drug Administration permits anyone, including children, to purchase and use whitening kits without prescription or supervision.

UFC 152: Elite Wrestling Skills Won't Be Enough for Demetrious Johnson
Joseph Benavidez isn't an elite wrestler like his competitor; however, he's a better all-around fighter. Benavidez has incredible power for the 125-pound weight class, and he's very capable of winning via submission, especially if you fall into his guillotine choke.
Expect this fight to be very close. The outcome largely will depend on which fighter impresses his style upon the other, and that puts Johnson at a disadvantage.
While Benavidez can adapt his style and still hold his own, Johnson only has one way to win Saturday night: He has to get Benavidez to the ground and work him over from his back.
If he can't, this fight could end quickly. Benav | idez is 11-2 in his MMA career, and he's won those fights in every way possible.

Ask an American about the connection between love and politics, and he'll probably conjure up heartbreaking images of Elizabeth Edwards, of embarrassed philanderers from both sides of the aisle or of the parade of long-suffering, dutiful political wives who, in the famous words of Hillary Rodham Clinton, "stand by their men."
The truth is that we don't generally associate politics or politicians with happy marriages and deep romance, let alone fidelity. The constant revelation of scandals and peccadilloes in the halls of power have trained us to expect the worst of those particularly the men we elect to shepherd and protect the interests of society. Somewhere along the line, | Americans have even bought into the notion that a politician's private life, in particular his love life, has little or nothing to do with his efforts on behalf of the public good.

Lobregat enjoins support to Interfaith Harmony week

Spurred by tremendous manufactured-back competition, the “winged warrior” Superbird was Plymouth’s stab at NASCAR greatness. The instantly recognizable 19-inch long nose and wildly tall airfoil reduced drag and provided enough downforce to stabilize the car upwards of 200 mph. Plymouth built approximately one Superbird for every two dealerships, producing 1,935 in total to comply with stock car racing.
The seller says this one is “100% original.” Easy enough to believe as it sports only 18k miles from two owners, and has been sitting in dry storage the past | 12 years. As seen from the pictures, the interior is in remarkable condition and the Limelight paint shows no major blemishes. There is only minor surface rust shown under the car, but nothing a bit of elbow grease couldn’t solve quickly.
The 440-ci V8 was underrated at 375 horsepower, and has never been out of the car. The car is equipped with the less desirable automatic transmission, but only 466 of the 440 4-bbl cars came with the 4-speed manual.

Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Hair Legacy
Jean-Michel Basquiat had a professional career that lasted just nine years. Yet during that time he managed to make himself one of the most significant painters of the 20th century and an ever-enduring cultural icon. In many ways Basquiat was the ultimate enigma. The first black artist to ever be internationally acclaimed. Completely unschooled and non-traditional in his approach to art.
Yet he was the epitome of cool. A confident and nonchalant aura. An eccentric wardrobe. And of course, his hair. Basquiat’s hair went through | many different stages throughout his professional career. But aside from the time he spent as Samo (immediately upon moving to New York), all of his hairstyles follow more or less the same silhouette: the faux dreadlock that somehow suspends itself straight up in the air.

Corker says deal will pass, predicts $500,000 threshold
Fiscal solvency hasn't been dealt with, Corker says
Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee sought to assure Americans on Sunday over the looming fiscal cliff, expressing full confidence that most people won't start off the new year with new taxes.
In an interview on CNN, the Republican senator also predicted the income threshold for tax increases will be at least $500,000 per year, rather than President Barack Obama's proposal of $250,000.
While he's "disgusted with where we are" in the deficit-reduction debate, Corker said "there's no question" that Congress will reach some kind of deal "in the next few days or in the next few weeks."
"I would bet my | life that over the next very short period of time (that) 98 to 99% of people in the country are going to be rescued," Corker told CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley.
The Senate reconvened on Sunday as leaders and aides worked to hash out a fiscal cliff deal that will pass in both chambers of Congress. One of the main sticking points is a disagreement over who should pay higher tax rates in order to generate more revenue.

El Paso, TX (Sports Network) - Sean Kugler is returning home to become the
head football coach at UTEP.
Kugler, currently the offensive line coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers, played
for the Miners from 1985-88 and was an assistant coach from 1993-2000. He'll
replace Mike Price, who announced his retirement in November.
"I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to be the next head coach at
UTEP," said Kugler in a statement through the school on Monday. "I'm hoping to
build on the tremendous job that was done by coach Price and his staff. I have
been the Miners' biggest supporter from afar, and the job coach Price and his
staff did was outstanding. I can't wait to work with the players in the near
future. I spent 13 years as a player and coach at U | TEP and loved every minute
of it. I'm excited about starting a new chapter in my coaching career at a
place that has so many fond memories."
Kugler is in his third season with the Steelers and has also been an NFL
assistant with Buffalo (2007-09) and Detroit (2001-05).
In addition to his tenure with UTEP, the 46-year-old Kugler was also a

Garo rebels, security forces exchange fire in MeghalayaJuly 30th, 2012 - 7:33 pm ICT by IANS
Shillong, July 30 (IANS) A fierce gun-battle broke out between the security forces and Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) rebels Monday in the newly-created North Garo Hills district in western Meghalaya, police said.
Though there were no casualties on the security forces’ side, police are yet to confirm if any of the rebels were injured in the exchange of fire which lasted for about an hour.
The gunfight took place at Dabingggre village when the security forces came under fire from hiding GNLA rebels.
“The militants retreated into the jungle after intensive firing from security forces,” a police official told IANS.
The group of 10 GNLA rebels was led by their “area commander” Philiport Sangma, the official said.
A massive hunt is on to nab the rebels.
The GNLA, one of five Garo rebel groups fighting for a separate ‘Garoland’ in the western area of Meghalaya, is headed by police officer-turned-rogue Champion R. Sangma.

Robert McCormick settled at the junction of the old Fort Wayne, Indianapolis and
Muncie Town Trail in 1826. He built a large cabin which was known far and wide as
McCormick's Tavern. He also handled the mail and the Post Office was called
Greenberry. On a beautiful, wooded knoll southwest of his home he found evidences of
an Indian encampment and the grave of an Indian. Here on this knoll in 1830 the baby of
Thomas and Mary Coleman was buried. Later, in 1836 Robert McCormick was buried.
This place is protected by a wire fence and is reasonably free of weeds and briers.

The political firestorm that swept Beijing in recent weeks dominated television, newspapers and the news weeklies. Yet, when a literal firestorm raged through China two years ago, there was no such coverage. Though the conflagration proved to be the worst forest fire in recorded history, it only came to the attention of Harrison Salisbury in a small, poorly detailed story buried in The New York Times in August 1987. Using the Chinese contacts cultivated during 20 years of researching books in that country, Salisbury was able to gain permission to become the only Western journalist allowed to visit the fire-ravaged area in the Greater Hinggan Forest of Manchuria.
The result of his 10-day trip is The Great Black Dragon Fire (Little, Brown, $17.95). Not only is it excellent writing and reporting, but also because of its frightful environmental implications, it is a deeply unsettling book.
The fire began on May 6, 1987. In northeast China and Soviet Siberia, the largest remaining virgin forest and the single largest stand of timber in the world burned for more than a month, destroying a combined total of approximately 18 million acres. That`s an area roughly equivalent to New England. The Chinese fire | was five to six times the size of the Yellowstone National Park fire of 1988. The 3 million acres ravaged in China is three times greater than the biggest forest fire in U.S. history (the Cloquet-Moose Lake fire of 1918 that burned 1 million acres in Minnesota). Together, the Russian and Chinese fires obliterated as much as 10 percent of the world`s coniferous forests.

Upcountry drivers are usually pretty courteous drivers on our narrow, winding back roads. More often than not, they will pull over to the right if a faster driver approaches from the rear. Unfortunately, they don't always think about the safety issues involved in their choices.

Legal capacity and proxy decision making
Issues surrounding the loss of legal capacity
Under the Hungarian Civil Code of 1959, a person may be considered incompetent due to age (under 14), illness or state of mind. Sections 14 and 15 define diminished capacity and legal incompetency as follows:
Persons of legal age shall be of diminished capacity if a court has placed them in the custody of a guardian to that effect.
(4) Persons whose necessary discretionary ability for conducting their affairs is - owing to their mental state, unsound mind, or pathological addiction - permanently or recurrently diminished to a great extent in general or in relation to certain groups of matters shall be placed by a court in a guardianship that limits their competency.
(5) If the limitation of discretionary ability is only partial, the person under guardianship may make valid legal statements independently in all matters in relation to which the court did not limit his/her capacity in its decision.
(6) The court may limit the full capacity of a person placed under guardianship in particular in respect of the following groups of matters:
i. requests for social security, social and unemployment benefits and disposition over such benefits or over income deriving from employment... exceeding the amount | defined in paragraph (2) c) of section 14/B;

The Obama Administration Friday answered critics urging them to weigh in on the marriage equality cases currently before the supreme court by submitting an amicus brief, LGBTQ Nation reports:
Section 3 of DOMA violates the fundamental constitutional guarantee of equal protection.

Because this discrimination cannot be justified as substantially furthering any important governmental interest, Section 3 is unconstitutional.

Q: Until I saw this (and many others in Shakespeare), I was a from-is-redundant maven: “From whence thou cam’st, how tended on. But rest / Unquestion’d welcome and undoubted blest” – All’s Well That Ends Well. What say ye?
A: Well, the word “whence” does mean “from what place,” but, as the Oxford English Dictionary points out, it’s “often preceded by redundant from.”
Indeed, “whence” has been in the language since about 1300, and it’s been dogged (or rather preceded) by “from” for almost as long.
For example, the OED has a couple of citations for plain old “whence” from the first English version of the Bible, the Wycliffe Bible of 1382.
But one citation – “to the mounteynes; whennus shal come helpe to me” – was altered in a 1388 printing to read “… fro whannus shal come helpe to me.”
The OED notes that “from” is used, “more or less pleonastically, before hence, thence, whence | , henceforth, etc.” The word “pleonastically” means superfluously or redundantly.
So what’s right? I agree with Robert Burchfield, editor of The New Fowler’s Modern English Usage, that the “best policy” is not to use “from” with “hence,” “thence,” and “whence.”
I also agree with the editors of The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (4th ed.) that nobody was bothered by the redundancy of “from whence” until the 18th century.
But clearly “whence” has an air of antiquity about it. And if | [

Obama signs Pentagon bill maintaining Guantanamo and military detention
Bill Van Auken
5 January 2013
For the second year in a row, President Barack Obama has signed into law a Pentagon funding bill that allows for the indefinite military detention of anyone, including American citizens, without charges, while barring the shutdown of the Guantanamo Bay prison camp.
The signing of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 Wednesday puts paid to the predictions by the administration’s | liberal and pseudo-left supporters that Obama, freed of re-election concerns, would pursue a more “progressive” political course in his second term. As in 2012, this legislation enshrines a sweeping assault on core constitutional principles and democratic rights.
The legislation’s provisions underscore the link between the eruption of American militarism abroad and the lurch toward police-state measures at home.
It provides $633 billion for Washington’s worldwide military operations, including $88.5 billion for overseas “contingency operations,” the bulk of it going to fund the continuing war and occupation in Afghanistan. It increases funding for the military | [

As we age our complexion tends to become less even toned and we begin to notice age spots, discoloration, and freck | ling. There are ways to lessen the appearance of this skin pigmentation, and ward off further damage. And SOLUTION is your answer.
Skin pigmentation is due to the action of depositing of melanin and affects the color of your skin. When these cells become damaged or unhealthy, it affects melanin production. Pigmentation issues can be the result of sun damage, acne or wound scarring, and hormonal changes. Certain natural ingredients work wonders toward softening the appearance of spots and evening out skin tone. Vitamins A, C and E slow signs of aging and | [

9OYS Immigration Watch
Mass release of illegal immigrants sparks celebration & outrage locally
Reporter: Maggie Vespa
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Days ahead of Washington's dreaded'sequestration' deadline, one federal agency is cutting back ahead of schedule.
Tuesday the US Department of Homeland Security announced it has been and will be releasing thousands of undocumented immigrants from detention centers across the country, with the promise they will appear in immigration court to work out their case.
It's a move few saw coming. 59 year-old Ciria Hayes knew on Sunday, what millions more found out days later.
"Suddenly he's out! Oh, I couldn't believe it."
That her brother Marco Antonio Durazo, held | for four months at Arizona's Eloy detention center was one of thousands to suddenly walk free.
"You know, he's not a criminal! He's not a criminal! How can you keep him there for so long?"
But not everyone is so thrilled with the mass release.
"This underminds the rule of law and the whole idea in America that there's consequences for breaking the law," said Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu.

The stock market’s summer performance has been nothing but stunning. Seeing daily swings in excess of 4% has become as common as American fast food in China.
Sometimes it’s helpful to step back and shift the focus from day-to-day changes to multidecade trends. This kind of big-picture evaluation shows whether events like this summer’s meltdown are just a hiccup or confirmation of a long-term trend (change).
Gradual changes often are so subtle that they are nearly invisible to the naked eye or novice observer. But, just because a change is gradual doesn’t mean it’s insignificant.
Let’s take a look at the basic makeup of the U.S. economy. A few decades ago, sweat-trenched U.S. manufacturing facilities were the most fertile, growth-producing environment on the planet. This growth was fueled by “Made in America” products. The growth was organic and it was real.
The first red box in the chart below captures | this period of powerful organic growth. It lasted from 1947-66. During this period, GDP growth averaged 4.18%.
The second red box captures a period of growth fueled by low interest and financial engineering. During this period — from 1975-2000 — GDP growth averaged only 3.4%.

The Tiresome Myth of Rubio’s “Latino” Appeal

Rarely does a month go by without a head-scratching announcement of some activist group or another “fighting to protect the environment” by attacking somebody involved in agriculture.
They always play to the public’s naiveté, and they always want your money to support their misguided mission.
Now, here’s a chance to put your money behind a decidedly different mission: Help save a small family farmer-producer from being bankrupted by one of the more notorious activist groups around.
Here’s the story.
The Waterkeeper Alliance, a New York City-based group who claims its goal is “to protect | every major watershed around the world through grassroots advocacy,” is suing Maryland farmers Alan and Kristin Hudson for (allegedly) violating the Maryland Clean Water Act.

Extensive Training initiative launched to tackle 4000 asbestos death toll
Asbestos related diseases have been at an all time rise since the last few years in UK. The government has made an initiative to combat the rise by targeting a training campaign for awareness.
A poignant target of 4000 hours of free asbestos awareness training has been set in a new initiative to help tradesmen across Britain protect themselves from the deadly dust. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), in partnership with the training industry, is calling for those who run training course to pledge free hours during September to hit a target of 4,000.
It is targeted to conduct 4000 face-to-face training hours and an additional 4,000 online training hours by various providers around the country, free of charge.
The training will be aimed at | tradesmen such as joiners, electricians and plumbers who are most likely to disturb the fibres as they go about their work - around 20 a week lose their lives to asbestos-related diseases.

SISTERS, Ore. - More than 1,100 people are fighting to keep a wildfire in Central Oregon from forcing residents from their homes.
Residents in the Crossroads and Edgington/Remuda areas west of the Forest Road 16 and south of Highway 20 in the vicinity of Sisters remain on a level two pre-evacuation notice due to the Pole Creek fire.
The fire has burned 16,000 acres and is 10 percent contained.

In fact, it appears as though the fight won't be happening any time soon.
Earlier this week, UFC.com's Ultimate Insider reported that the middleweight clash was signed for Memorial Day weekend. However, a UFC source with knowledge of the situation told MMA Fighting on Friday that the fight was never signed and that Silva has informed the organization that he won't be healthy enough to compete on the card.
As MMA Fighting first reported last month, the organization was hoping to put the fight together for UFC 130.
No opponents have been signed for either Stann or Silva. There is still a chance Stann, the former WEC light heavyweight champion, will compete on the May 28 card against someone else.
Stann (10-3) is coming off a win over Chris Leben in January, while Silva (33-10-1, 1 no contest) hasn't competed since he beat Michael Bisping at UFC 110. He underwent knee surgery in July.
UFC 130, headlined by Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard III | , will air live on pay-per-view from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Official press release:
No Regrets, No Shame: The Bridge Nine Days release captures modern hardcore band Terror in their beginning stages with never-before-seen interviews and performances from one of their most popular albums, Lowest of the Low. Filmed back in January of 2003, Terror performed at the Showcase Theater in Corona, CA and the footage was captured by then-new filmmaker Ian McFarland (now of the established Killswitch Productions).
This amazing footage has been sitting in a vault at Bridge Nine Records for the last nine years and is finally assembled to see the light of day. With stagedives, sing-a-longs, and unparalleled energy from the band, No Regrets No Shame captures Terror in their most raw and nascent form. Bonus features like the "Push It Away" music video and a full set from Terror's Headline Records in-store performance from the same timeframe are also included, and this CD/DVD (and LP with all remastered Showcase Theater audio tracks) release hits stores on April | 24th, 2012.

Robots to the Rescue
Researchers are exploring ways to make rescue robots less "creepy" and more user-friendly, incorporating lessons learned from studies of how humans interact with technology
March 11, 2011
Everyone knows machines don't have feelings. But try telling that to your brain.
"We have one social brain, and it's the same whether we're dealing with a person or a machine," said Clifford I. Nass, the Thomas M. Storke Professor at Stanford University, who studies the social aspects of technology. "People use the same social graces with machines, especially computers, as they do with people."
Nass has devoted much of his research career to studying the ways in which humans respond socially to technology. Despite what most people know intellectually, they still often automatically treat computers and other devices like human beings, he said.
In a | 1993 study, for example, he found that people unconsciously use social rules when interacting with computers. His subjects were much "nicer" to the computer they had worked with--responding favorably to the computer when it "asked" how it performed--than they were to another computer that "asked" the same question about | [
