Pulpal necrosis can result from an untreated irreversible pulpitis or immediately after a traumatic injury that disrupts the vascular system of the pulp. A necrotic pulp does not respond to cold tests, EPT, or heat tests.
Periradicular Diagnosis
Chronic apical abscess: Radiography typically reveals a radiolucency. Clinically, there is a sinus tract present on the gingival tissue. The draining sinus tract should be traced with a gutta-percha cone and then confirmed radiographically (Figure 5 and Figure in the periapical region. The opacity represents a localized osseous reaction to a low-grade inflammatory stimulus.
Choosing the Correct Local Anesthetic
In conjunction with integrating regional and supplemental local anesthesia, selecting the correct type of local anesthesia plays an important role in a clinician’s ability to obtain profound pulpal anesthesia.
Regional Block
Epinephrine is acidic and therefore lowers the pH of the injection site. This lowered pH will enable fewer amounts of base to be available for nerve sheath penetration. Also, although epinephrine acts on both alpha receptors (vasoconstriction) and beta receptors (vasodilatation, bronchodilation, and increased heart rate and contraction), its effect on beta receptors is equal to its effect on alpha receptors.17 Therefore, the amount of vasoconstriction that will actually occur in the injection site will be affected.
Since the introduction of articaine into the US marke betweenin IANB anesthesia.18,19 with 2% lidocaine.20,21 The clinician must consider these risks along with the benefits of administering 4% articaine for IANB anesthesia.
Periodontal Ligament Block
The use of 2% lidocaine with 100,000 epinephrinein achieving pulpal anesthesia through a periodontal ligament injection than using a local anesthetic without a vasoconstrictor.23,24
Although the literature supports the use of an anesthetic with vasoconstrictor for administering for an intraosseous block,25 the clinician needs to be aware that this will increase heart rate in most patients.26 Therefore, the clinician needs to balance a longer anesthetic effect along with a patient’s tachycardia response versus using 3% mepivacaine (with no epinephrine) and eliminating the cardiac effect but shortening the duration of the local anesthetic effect. A study by Reisman et al27 reported that when a repeated intraosseous injection with 3% mepivacaine (with no epinephrine) was administered, there was an increase in anesthetic success to 98%. Empirically, most patients get an uncomfortable feeling when their heart begins to race after the epinephrine enters their system as the result of the intraosseous block.
NSAID Usage Preoperatively Before Local Anesthesia
Residual Canal Debris
Residual canal debris is organic and/or inorganic material that remains on the dentinal wall after conventional endodontic chemomechanical canal preparation is completed.35 This residual canal debris is also referred to as the smear layer. The organic and/or inorganic substance is derived from ground dentin; pulpal remnants; and, in cases of infected root-canal systems, bacteria.36
The clinical goal of endodontic obturation of a root-canal system is to fill empty spaces, promote hermetic sealing, and prevent bacterial activity from infiltrating the periapical tissues.43 Although gutta-percha has been a consistent material used in canal obturation for the last 40 years, techniques and sealers have changed during that time. Various techniques, such as lateral compaction, warm vertical compaction, and carrier-based obturation, have been reported in the scientific literature.44,45 In regard to sealers, the most current trend is the bioceramic sealer.46 It has been reported that bioceramic sealers are nontoxic, are hydrophilic, expand upon setting, and are antimicrobial.47

Land Use Planning envelops our entire future: Jobs-Housing-Transportation. How much of what is built where, determines revenue, sustainability and quality of life.
Impact fee for new commercial development will fairly address a variety of housing needs. Redevelopment Agencies once provided funding for schools and housing. Taxpayers should not assume the burden.
Liz moved to San Francisco, and for 10 years was an Associate with Parsons, Brinckerhoff, Quade and Douglas BART extensions and Light Rail systems for Santa Clara County, Baltimore, Austin and Denver.
In 1990, Liz was tapped to take on the conversion of Campbell Avenue. The project would be a game changer for the city. The redevelopment of Historic Downtown Campbell would ultimately revitalize the downtown core and create an undeniable sense of place. Once again downtown Campbell Avenue became a two-way street. New sidewalks, parking, street lighting, parks and landscaping were all part of its economic development, which would include the creation of Ainsley Park and the Orchard City Green.
Prior to 2014, Liz served 17 years as the Campbell Planning Commissioner. In this capacity Liz garnered significant understanding of city codes and ordinances, which included time on the General Plan Committee in 2000, and the 2009 and 2015 Housing Element updates. Recognized for her leadership and depth of knowledge, her colleagues on the Campbell Planning Commission elected her Chair for a third time in 2010. It’s this depth of knowledge that enables Liz to ask the tough questions, as the city explores the current General Plan Update.
Liz understands how all the pieces — budgets, ordinances, guidelines and codes – must fit together to maintain Campbell’s stability and quality of life. She wants to be ready for any economic fluctuations or potential natural disasters. Liz is deeply engaged in the politics of addressing affordable housing and homelessness. Most importantly, she wants to make sure our neighborhoods thrive.
BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Liz has the professional background to make sure Campbell carries positive momentum into the future. This includes Bond Measure O, which the city placed on the November 2018 ballot to upgrade Campbell’s public library and police facilities both constructed in the 1970s. With 40 years of professional experience, Liz understands the complexity of what needs to be built and at what cost. She consistently questions assumptions and requires the facts to assure that our tax dollars are well spent. As a licensed architect, Liz managed design and construction budgets from $5M to $100M. Under her direct supervision, teams of 5 to 25 staff produced exceptional on-time and on-budget work resulting in repeat clients. Additionally, Liz was LEED AP certified in 2004.
To date, the city’s governing has a proven track record.
· Campbell has award-winning financial management.
· Our prized parks are well maintained and updated, and thanks to a $1M Santa Clara County grant, we will have an ‘Inclusionary Play Area’ at John D. Morgan Park.
· Road replacement and resurfacing continues to receive significant funding increases from local and state resources.
Land Use Planning envelops our entire future. What we build, and where we build, determines sources of revenue and our sustainability

Silva flew into Manchester on Thursday night and arrived at City’s Etihad Campus training ground to complete his medical on Friday.
It’s believed City and Monaco struck a deal just days after the close of their respective league campaigns and the French club allowed Silva to fly to Manchester in the middle of this week.
It’s thought that City will pay £43m up front for the Portugal playmaker, with that figure likely to rise to somewhere between £60m – £70m after bonuses and other variables.
Meanwhile, City are determined to get their business done early having been made to wait for certain key signings ahead of Pep Guardiola’s first season in charge.
John Stones did not arrive until just before the Premier League season started while Claudio Bravo only joined after the first international break of the season.

“Gi” Dr. Suzuki said. “”


Thanks to the National Park Service, which turns 100 this year, our region has beautiful places to hike. Here are some favorites for every skill level:
Distance from DC*: 64 miles.
Why Go: Blue Ridge Mountain vistas, river views, and a generous dose of Civil War history are all on tap at this West Virginia park. Its 20 miles of trails—including the midpoint of the 2,178-mile Appalachian Trail—range from the pancake-flat C&O Canal towpath to challenging climbs over hardscrabble terrain.
Best Easy Hike: Appalachian Trail North
Starting at the information center in town, the route crosses the Potomac River footbridge and traces the C&O towpath on the most level 2.5 miles of the Appalachian Trail.
Great Strenuous Hike: Maryland Heights
The 6.5-mile trail can get crowded on weekends, but there’s a reason for its popularity. Departing from the information center, it leads to an old stone fort, a naval battery, trenches, and other Civil War relics, many with interpretive signs. The reward: a spectacular view of historic Harpers Ferry and the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers.
With an 80-foot gain in elevation, this challenging, 7.5-mile hike isn’t for novices. From the information center, cross the Shenandoah River bridge and follow the trail to several scenic lookouts. It ends at the Split Rock overlook with fabulous views of the Potomac and Shenandoah confluence from a southern perspective.
Stay: Jackson Rose Bed & Breakfast (1167 W. Washington St.; 304-535-1528) is in a late-18th-century dwelling that briefly served as Stonewall Jackson’s headquarters.
Eat: Order a burger or salad and watch the trains go by from the expansive patio at the Potomac Grille (186 High St.; 304-535-1900).
Nearby: Pre- or post-hike, explore Harpers Ferry, where the National Park Service operates 24 historic structures. Start at the information center for an orientation (171 Shoreline Dr.; 304-535-6282).

Distance from DC: 32 miles.
Why Go: This 15,000-acre refuge is an often overlooked gem. Yet with 37 miles of hiking trails—including one that stretches for nine miles—it harbors Northern Virginia’s most extensive trail network. Historical fun fact: During World War II, it was used as a spy-training facility by the OSS, precursor to the CIA.
Best Short Hike: Cabin Branch Pyrite Mine Trail
A pyrite mine was in operation here from the 1880s until 1920. (Pyrite was used to make sulfuric acid.) The mine sites are filled in, but vestiges of various operations and buildings remain, along with educational signs. This trail is just three-tenths of a mile long but links to other trails for a total 2.5-mile moderate trek.
Best Moderate Hike: Farms To Forest Trail
The three-mile trail, which starts near Oak Ridge Campground, runs through former farmland. Though forest has reclaimed some of the territory, it’s easy to see where crops were cultivated. Other evidence of past inhabitants includes a cemetery.
Best Long Hike: South Valley Trail
The 8.7-mile trail starts from Oak Ridge Campground and follows the south fork of Quantico Creek. (The less energetic can trim the 18-mile round trip by simply turning back.) Along the way, it passes a couple of lakes and New Deal–era cabins built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Stay: Basic park cabins with beds, a picnic table and grill, and a shared bathhouse accommodate three to ten guests.
Eat: Harold & Cathy’s Dumfries Cafe (17670 Fraley Blvd., Dumfries; 703-441-1465), a local haunt, serves classic diner fare.
Nearby: The National Museum of the Marine Corps traces the history of this branch of the military. Aircraft hang from a soaring, glass-domed gallery, with adjoining exhibits on major conflicts (18900 Jefferson Davis Hwy.; 877-635-1775).
Distance from DC: 71 miles.
Why Go: Home to the presidential retreat, Camp David, this Maryland park features 25 miles of hiking trails across 5,810 acres of hardwood forest. Many of the trails boast great views of the Monocacy River Valley as well as remains left by early settlers who used the land over the years for farming, mining iron ore, and brewing hooch.
Best Easy Hike: Blue Blazes Whiskey Still Trail
A one-third-mile stroll along this trail leads to the site where a large commercial moonshine operation stood until a raid in 1929. Placards tell the story of the dramatic event, during which a deputy sheriff was killed, while a period-appropriate still helps convey how moonshine was made.
Best Moderate Hike: Falls Nature Trail
From the visitor center, the 1.4-mile trail heads to Cunningham Falls, the tallest waterfall in Maryland, at 78 feet.
Most Challenging Hike: Wolf Rock/Chimney Rock
The approximately five-mile loop offers a pair of sweeping vistas, particularly from Chimney Rock, which extends 1,419 feet above the valley. The trail begins with a moderately strenuous climb heading east out of the visitor-center parking lot. Beware of an occasional rattlesnake sunning itself on the rocks at the top.
Stay: The park’s Owens Creek Campground has 50 sites set among tall oaks and tulip poplars. Reserve a spot along Owens Creek and the bubbling brook will serenade you all night.
Eat: Picnicking is permitted at the Owens Creek and Chestnut picnic areas. Both have tables and grills. Better yet, join the locals for some “broasted” chicken, corn fritters, and a black-raspberry milkshake at Thurmont Kountry Kitchen (17 Water St., Thurmont; 301-271-4071).
Nearby: Pick up a basket of just-picked apples, peaches, or blueberries from Pryor’s Orchard, a 50-year mainstay off Route 77 by the park entrance (13841-B Pryor Rd., Thurmont; 301-271-2693).

Distance from DC: 88 miles.
Why Go: This 80,000-acre park, established in 1935, is best known for Skyline Drive, which follows the ridgeline of the Blue Ridge Mountains for 105 miles, from Front Royal to Waynesboro, Virginia. Seventy-five overlooks feature stop-worthy views of the Shenandoah Valley and the Shenandoah River, and 500-plus miles of hiking trails offer more reasons to get out of your car.
Best Short Hike: Bearfence Trail
While bears can be spotted throughout the park, I’ve seen them several times in the woods next to the parking area of the aptly named Bearfence trailhead. Yes, the cubs can be cute, but it goes without saying to keep your distance. The 1.2-mile, moderate hike can be done as an out-and-back or as a partial loop when you’re connecting to a portion of the Appalachian Trail on the return. A fun rock scramble leads to a rocky peak. From there, it’s less than a quarter mile to the true summit and a 360-degree panoramic view of the park. The trailhead is at mile 56.4.
Most Challenging Hike: Little Devils Stairs
Feel your quads burn on this intense, five-mile trek that climbs 1,585 feet in a little over a mile and a half into a narrow gorge. You’ll encounter several stream crossings before entering the gorge; there, the wooded trail switches to rocky terrain that requires scrambling over rock ledges. The payoff is dramatic scenery—including a few small waterfalls about halfway up. A fire road makes an easy trip back down to the trailhead, which is off Route 211 near Sperryville.
Great Waterfall Hike: Whiteoak Canyon
The four-mile, out-and-back, moderate hike features six waterfalls, most with a catchpool at the bottom where you can wade, swim, or simply enjoy the spray. (The tallest waterfall is 86 feet.) The trail has a few steep sections that can be slippery, so take your time on the two-mile journey down into the canyon. The trailhead is at mile 42.6 of Skyline Drive.
Stay: Skyland Lodge and Cabins (Skyline Drive mile 41.7; 877-847-1919) features traditional hotel-style rooms as well as one-bedroom suites with fireplaces. The main draw is the view of the valley, enjoyed off the private balconies and porches. Some rooms are pet-friendly.
Eat: Skyland also has a good restaurant with a mix of down-home cooking, gourmet fare, and vegetarian options. Try the Gourmet Burger with brisket, Gouda, and béarnaise. Or if you’re looking to picnic with a view, head to Big Meadows (mile 51.2; no phone).
Nearby: On the way home, consider stopping by one of the many vineyards in the area, such as Little Washington Winery (72 Christmas Tree La.; 540-987-8330) and Gadino Cellars (92 Schoolhouse Rd.; 540-987-9292), both in Washington, Virginia. Or pop into Luray Caverns (101 Cave Hill Rd., Luray; 540-743-6551). A one-hour tour covers the cathedral-like chambers’ spectacular rock formations.

"Don't leave yet. Please wait."
"I think that although the four of you have different tempers, you all have good character. Accepting you as disciples today is in accord to time, flow, and my heart's desire. I also hope that you will be diligent in the future and work hard for many days to live up to my expectations. For this so-called studying together, the examination for fame is second. You should learn from the ancient sages to cultivate the body first. The character and morals, then the knowledge, then the sincerity, and then the heart. When the heart is right, then the body is cultivated, and when the body is cultivated and the family is together, then one can govern the country, and then the world is peaceful."
Xue TingRang asked curiously: "How did the teacher tell you that he wants to accept you as disciples?

 class. I didn’t know I loved moss, tenacious
green on stones, spongy under my feet, and grass—today
a bumblebee drowsed, ignoring the tiny white ground daisies,
which I also love, and lichens, earth-brown and green
on rowan trunks, and gorse, brilliant yellow dotting hillsides.
I didn’t know I loved “Mind yourself” and “God bless,” “Give it
a lash,” “Take a listen,” “For the craic,” “She’s chesty,” “Grand
on this end.” Caramel muffins, Irish chicken, roosters mashed
and curled into a ball by a wrist flick, Chef Maria’s luscious salads
in An Bhialann. Summer fruits jam from the Saturday market,
poitin and its heritage. Tea, tea, tea and the Cloud Café for
cheerful hot water refills.
I didn’t know I loved remote places, Inis Mor’s Black Fort,
mussel lines strung across Connemara lakes, limestone barrens
of The Burren. How could I know I loved ruined castles,
abandoned friaries whose roofs open to the sky, stone walls
stacked with spaces for the wind (“if you build ‘em tight,
they go over”), everywhere stones, Famine walls snaking up
hillsides. Burning evening skies over the quad, frisky horses
in fields I walk past daily, the neighbor’s Irish cat, those cocky
magpies. Lone pair of swans, way up the Corrib. One bright
morning, a glowing red fox in our yard.
I didn’t know I how much I loved Irish voices, Synge’s Aran Islands,
Heaney and Yeats and Boland, RTE’s Sunday Miscellany’s poets
and essayists, the throng of NUIG writers. I didn’t know I loved
the shrieks of gulls, no water in sight, rhythms of oars in racing shells
on the river. Didn’t know I loved the smell of fresh-cut March grass,
raked into rows, scent of sheets dried on a line. How warm sun can be,
and the sharp cut of the wind, reminding me of the claims of earth.
I didn’t know I’d love my students, and all they have brought
to our work, their poems and stories of mums and grans, of men
who work with their hands, The Troubles and madness, dirty words
and pubs and grief, churches and laughter, crows and sloths, sounds
of the sea and family—always family. Their joy in finding a space
where words and images can breathe, a page ready to receive their gifts
as they’ve learned to listen, to attend. I’ve loved their different voices
intertwining, writers working together, trying out new tongues.
Their patience, teaching me to sing the special music of their names.


My first obstacle race was the Atlanta Spartan Sprint in Atlanta Georgia way back in 2012; I’ve been doing the races before most of the pros, not to brag.
I love obstacle racing, there’s so much about the sport that makes it unique – the adventure, the endurance challenge, and the culture are unlike most other sports. Unfortunately, sometimes the races can get repetitive. Many have similar obstacles, use the terrain in similar ways, and after doing this for years, I have come to know what to expect as the status quo in each race series (although this expectation is not quite the same as the predictability of a road race or triathlon). That’s what makes a small place like the King Compound so great; due to the smaller scale, they can innovate each race to create new racing experiments like we see whenever a new race series begins.
The King Compound is not an extremely large facility, i mean, it’s a backyard of sorts, and a training facility primarily,but Where space is limited ingenuity abounds. In order to give the race complexity each lap included a quarter mile carry with a concrete block, the full ones for males and hollow for females. Most races have carries, and there are the legendary spartan double sandbag carries, but a mile and a half over the course of a 10k spent lugging around a concrete brick is unusual. Forced burpees also add an extra element, jacking up your heart rate right before the run makes the run more of a challenge, especially with the technical (and hilly) trail that the race is held on that includes a dip in a creek. This extra challenge is often difficult to enforce. Spartan Race, which is known for it’s burpee penalties, has had difficulty in the past ensuring competitors and open participants complete their burpee punishment. However, it works for this race.
BattleFrog may have ended their race series but their lasting impression on the sport can be seen in the rise of the rigs. All the race series now have these grip killing contraptions that can make or break races. The king Compound is famous for it’s changeable rig system. Before this race rock climbing holds and a “cliff hanger” system, along with a ring board and peg board were added, and were used.
As far as the race actually went: I ran the competitive 10K in the early morning, I had raced all of their other races, but this one was memorable in it’s own way. Primarily, the quarter mile carry each lap added a new element, along with the 4 different rig routes. I enjoyed the challenge, and would have had a much more difficult time had I not been training grip, but all the same the Savage Race king Yuri Force beat me out for the top spot.  (the red on my chest is from markers not blood, the markers were to denote each lap)
What made you decide to host races in your backyard?
We had the training facility, and we figured it was a great way to advertise and say come back to train, because there is nowhere around here to train for these races.
What’s your inspiration for designing the courses?
We try to get the meat and potatoes of the obstacle races, the stuff Spartan and Savage have, what Battlefrog used to have, but then we want to add in a couple of things, try to be inventive especially with the rig attachments, the stuff people are not good at so they can get better at them, first and foremost we are a training facility. We want to get people to do things they normally couldn’t do.
With so many races becoming somewhat predictable how do you keep it fresh?
Every race we’ve done here has been completely different, we gotta think outside the box, changing up the rig, changing the directions of the run, changing as much as we can with what we have here. You were not expecting to have to carry a 65 pound block every lap. we’re just trying to keep that unexpected factor. The rig is always going to be different, the run isn’t even a gimme with the hills and going in and out of the creek
What’s the best and worst part about putting on these races
Best: Watching the competitors finish despite the hardshis
Worst: All the behind the scenes logistics, because the three of us all have full-time jobs on top of this
How long does it take y’all to set these up:
We start planning as soon as the last race is over, if it’s a year then a full year, we’ll start planning as soon as this one is over, and we were out there last night at 10 putting the finishing touches up.
How do Y’all decide the distance and difficulty for each race?
We want to make it doable but hard enough for athletes to be humbled at the same time
How do y’all think of new stuff?
We like to take stuff people never would think of and think what we could do with them to make them fun. We have 2 tennis nets and here in the near future we’re looking forward to doing something fun with them.
Many of the National races are almost forced into filling out a certain litany of requirements in order to be a worthy race of its series; The King Compound races have showed me that innovation in this sport may stem from small local or niche events. #supportlocalraces

You forgot the 10th alternative- repeal the entire legislative mess and throw it out !
We had group coverage at my business. Despite massive premiums, my personal medical costs were peanuts. According to contract with our insurer, to qualify for coverage, each covered employ had to prove a 30 hr work week. When renewing coverage I asked the insurance rep. — if I had a stroke or stricken with cancer and our insurance cos. could prove (shouldn't be hard) there was no way any human could pull off a 30 hr week with those serious conditions would I lose coverage. Her answer was — of course but then I could get Medicare disability (2 year wait) or the state high risk plan if available. So with tremendous out-of-pocket to prevent us for going for routine check-ups or minor accident treatment, it's even questionable if we even had catastrophic. This is the scam we call health insurance!

We’ve all heard about eccentric and insane pregnancy cravings. You’ve probably even watched on TV where pregnant women want nothing but pickles dipped in ice cream or potatoes in the middle of the night. If you are currently a pregnant woman, you could be conflicted about Should you just eat everything your heart desires, or should you take a more cautious approach? We’ve answered those questions for you below.
Aren’t You Eating For Two?
One theory is to that you are eating for two so eat whatever you want. If this is your game plan, then you’ll definitely want to visit an article coming out later this week on stretch marks. Your baby is going to weigh somewhere around the average of 6-9 pounds, so for nine months worth of eating for two, this theory doesn’t go too far other than it’s fun to say you are eating for two. You are most definitely eating for two, but not two adults. One adult and one teeny tiny growing infant are who you are feeding while pregnant. Around ten weeks of gestation, your baby is only the size of a fun sized candy bar. Half way through your pregnancy at 20 weeks, your baby still won’t even weigh a pound yet. Check out a baby gestation growth chart here. Granted you are growing a new organ, a placenta which is pretty amazing in itself, but the caloric requirements aren’t going to be much more at this stage than before you became pregnant.
My plan when I was pregnant with my daughter was to eat as nutritionally sound as was possible. So for me, that was nine months of no junk food, no caffeine, and remembering that everything I put in my body was going directly to her too and her developing body. If you think of it that way, would you want to feed your baby who is developing his or her brain, and important organs, potato chips, and pop? One benefit of eating for nutrition is that chances are many of your cravings won’t even exist because you are fueling your body and your baby’s with dense nutrition.
So, if at this point in the article you are getting frustrated because you wanted to hear that those cravings serve a purpose and a reason that you need to feed every thought of french fries and candy to your baby and you, don’t stop reading yet. There are a lot of healthy things and possibly cravings that do serve a purpose. By feeding your growing baby and giving in to healthy cravings, you may just stop the not so healthy cravings. How about all you can eat fruit and vegetables, yogurt, and lean red meat? I drank a protein and vitamin drink every day in my pregnancy that I think helped me hit those nutrients I may have missed even though I was eating healthy. I also ran every day in my pregnancy because I had been a runner before becoming pregnant and had a healthy pregnancy. I had one craving, one day during my pregnancy and that was for a big steak. I think I needed it and boy did it taste good, so I gave in to the healthy craving and to this day it has been the best tasting steak I ever ate.
So whatever your take is on the cravings, caving in for that cake and ice cream once in awhile isn’t going to hurt much at all, but if it becomes a daily habit, try fine tuning your nutrition and see if the cravings cease. Enjoy this time, eat well, and be happy. Your baby will thank you for it later.


“Xena: Warrior Princess”It out to redeem herself. She waeyed the ancient world and fouahaha, I would have done the same thing about the name of the show!
I never watched it, but I did watch a series that Lucy Lawless starred in, which was set in Australia. She was a curmudgeonly vet person (I think, I get the series mixed up sometimes) OR she was a cop in the outback…either way she did a great job with it. I’m sure Xena was as good!
Xena is a great choice – I admit to being a bit obsessed by Lucy Lawless in my young teenage years!
I only saw a few episodes. They were pretty good though. It pairs well with Kevin Sorbo’s Hercules. So it depends on how you feel about action adventure shows.


Are you confused on what type of toothpaste you should use?
Which type of toothpaste you should use is equally as important to what type of toothbrush you should use.answer is specific to the needs of the patient.
Which toothpaste should I use for my children?
For children, a good rule of thumb is if your children can comfortably spit on their own, then they can comfortably use a children’s toothpaste that contains fluoride.
If your child is struggling with spitting or is not yet able to comfortably spit, then a safe-to-swallow toothpaste is ideal. When in doubt, use the safe-to swallow children’s toothpaste.
What’s the difference between all these toothpastes on the market?
Toothpaste for sensitive teeth: A major ingredient is usually Potassium Nitrate, which is added to these toothpastes to help calm nerve fibers that cause sensitivity.
Fluoride-containing toothpastes (Prescription only): Sometimes a dentist may recommend a prescription strength toothpaste based on your cavity risk.
Tartar-control toothpastes: These toothpastes can contain additional chemical compounds like pyrophosphates, zinc citrate and/or triclosan to help control tartar buildup.
Whitening toothpastes: These toothpastes usually contain some amount of hydrogen peroxide to help brighten teeth.
Fluoride-free toothpastes: For those patients that would like a fluoride-free alternative.
All-natural toothpastes: These toothpastes claim to contain more natural products and less chemical products. Some toothpastes contain fluoride and others do not.
Most toothpastes will contain some abrasives to help clean teeth. Some toothpastes are less abrasive than others. No toothpaste is completely non-abrasive. The best combination for a healthy mouth is a lowWhen in doubt, look for a product that bearwould like some recommendations, please discuss with your dentist.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A 2-week-old boy "will die of his injuries," a prosecutor told the court during the father's first appearance on charges he caused horrific blunt force injuries to his son's skull, stomach and groin area.
Luis Pacheco, 27,told sheriff's deputies the newborn was injured when he accidentally dropped the baby on a concrete floor during a diaper change.
Pacheco admitted to not telling his wife what happened, and deputies said he waited a few hours, only calling 911 for help when the baby's breathing became labored.
The baby was rushed to the hospital in grave condition. The doctor told investigators Pacheco's story was not consistent with the injuries.
In court, a prosecutor detailed the baby's prognosis.
The judge granted the state's request for a high bond of $250,000. Pacheco also has an ICE detainer. He could face an elevated charge of capital murder if the child dies.

TAMPA, Fla. - In c, COVID-19 cases rose by more than 50%. That is according to new research by the CDC.
The study analyzed not-for-profit schools with 20,000 or more students across 101 counties nationwide. Within three weeks of campuses opening for in-person instruction, those localities saw a surge in the incidence of coronavirus cases.
Back in early August COVID-19 cases were on the decline. By the end of the month, the fall semester had started and college campuses across the country were dealing with coronavirus outbreaks.
"Universities that tried to bring their students back had a lot of students who were not behaving very well before the start of classes with large parties and unmasking at the fraternities and things like that," said USF College of Public Health Distinguished Professor, Dr. Thomas Unnasch.
Students pivoted to online learning, facilities were temporarily shuttered, and sporting events canceled.
A new CDC report finds in-classroom learning at colleges and universities were major drivers of the surge across the country.
"Indicating that the universities were really contributing to a real increase in the rate of infections in the communities in which they were embedded," Unnasch said.
It was not just more people contracting COVID-19. According to the CDC study, the counties where these schools also saw more testing, a higher percent positivity, and were more likely to be identified as hotspots.
"Once they saw what was happening a lot of these University Administrators really started to crackdown," said Unnasch.
The counties where schools did remote learning experienced a 17.8% drop in incidence, while counties where students remained in the classrooms had a 56% increase.
"Once again underlines the fact that no matter who you are or how old you are, if you behave irresponsibly the virus is going to take advantage of that," Unnasch said.
Unnasch tells us the spike of cases happening now is not due to campus life. However, the CDC research shows it is critical forCOVID-19 transmission.
"I think if you get out there, and you get the right message out there, and you develop a decent layered program, these sorts of problems that they saw in August and September can be avoided," said Unnasch.
Many college students here in our area have been home since Thanksgiving break and will be starting the spring semester over the next few weeks. Experts say the schools need to have an aggressive testing, screening, and quarantine plan in place sincalready happening.

Ring Story - Allie's Custom Three Stone Sapphire Engagement Ring - Philadelphia Jeweler
December 07, 2016 2 min read
What do Japan and a Delaware museum have in common?  They're both an important part of Allie and Whitney's ring story!
Whitney and Allie's moms work together at a museum, and wanted their kids to meet.  Whitney and Allie had both traveled to and loved Japan, which was enough in common for the moms to set them upCount this as the most successful mom setup ever!  Whitney and Allie hit it off and have been inseparable ever since.  You can tell that these two completely adore and admire one another.  They're both entrepreneurs and 100% support and respect each other's passions and ambitions.
The antique old european cut stone that Whitney chose for Allie in a simple solitaire setting. // photo Alison Dunn Photography
Needless to say, I was over the moon when Whitney got in touch about proposing to Allie!  Allie is a CAD expert and a toy designer, so Whitney knew she would want some input on her final ring design.  For now, we would focus on getting a beautiful round diamond.  We eventually decided on a lively antique Old European Cut stone.  Whitney proposed on the banks of the Schuylkill River with a simple solitaire and of course she said yes!  He then asked Allie to work with me to create her dream setting.
I chatted with Allie and Whitney to get some inspiration for the new setting.  Luckily, Allie already loved many details on the original solitaire.  The open and airy side details appealed to her.  She knew she wanted to incorporate sapphires into a 3 stone design.  Over the next few days, I worked on a CAD rendering of a three stone with a trellis design.  Allie gave me the "ok" and I sent it off for casting!
Softer sapphire on the left, darker sapphire on the right - which would you choose for this three stone diamond engagement ring?
In the meantime, we had to choose the sapphires.  Allie is particular about the tone and shade of blue in sapphires, so I chose two pairs to show her - one more vivid and bright, the other a softer blue.  After seeing the softer blue sapphires next to her antique stone, Allie chose them for her engagement ring.  She'll likely want sapphires in her wedding band, so I made sure they had a matching hue available in smaller stones for when we make her wedding band!
The finished three stone diamond and sapphire engagement ring design.
Once the stones were set and the ring appraised, Allie picked up her beautiful new ring.  Congratulations Allie!  I couldn't be more excited for you and Whitney.

A federal grand jury indicted the former Trump White House advisere panel and for refusing to provide documents.
“’re not going to be able to avoid it,” Kinzinger said.
The indictmentn with the panel earlier in the day.
The House voted to censure Bannon in late October after he refused to meet with the committee, taking directions from former President Trump, who said he would exert executive privilege over the committee’s move. The committee has largely rejected Trump’s arguments on executive privilege, arguing that President Biden currently holds that authority.
The panel subpoenaed Bannon for details on any involvement Trump had with planning the Jan. 6 rally as well as any conversations he had with anyone else with the White House about Trump’s remarks during the rally.
The committee also asked about activities at the Willard Hotel, where Trump’s team established a “war room” for pushing Trump’s false voter fraud claims and where Bannon attended a meeting the day before the rally.


Like I was saying last time, housing a sandwich in a pretzel roll or bun does not make for an automatically great sandwich. Too often, the bread itself is cold, the flavor is lacking, and its heft is all out of proportion to the fillings within. However, every once in a while, a sandwich comes along that reminds me why people go crazy about pretzel bread in the first place.
NYC Bagel Deli offers a variety of bagel flavors to go with their Boar's Head meat and cheese selections, but when I saw that pretzel salt was an option, I knew my search was over..


Standard: Distinguish between information provided by pictures or other illustrations and information provided by the words in a text. RI.1.6
Grand Conversations: To delve deeper into the relationship between an illustration and the words in the text, conduct a grand conversation with a small group or whole class. Pair visuals with tactile supports (outline the picture with glue or puffy paint). See this TIP Sheet for more information on Whole Group Discussions. Questions might include:
Look at the illustration of the topic. What does it show? Let’s listen to the words from the text. How does the author describe the topic?
What does this illustration show us about the topic?
Socratic Seminar: To encourage students to think more about the author’s purpose of the text, including what question the author is answering, explaining, or describing. Have the question presented clearly so students can keep it in mind as they read or listen to the text. Teachers can lead students in Socratic Seminars, modeling how to make a list of questions to ask about the author’s purpose. Provide ways for students to record their ideas during the discussion, such as a graphic organizer or digital option. Throughout the seminar, the teacher should model how to be a question-asker. Students should have a free-flowing conversation with minimal interruptions from the teacher. Provide flexible ways for students to contribute to the conversation, such as verbally or through a non-verbal backchannel.
Think, Pair, Share: Ask students to think individually about the author’s purpose, then meet with a peer to discuss their answers. Encourage them to record their learning using graphic organizers, bulleted lists, or using other tools. After they have had time to discuss with a peer, they can share their thoughts with the rest of the class. They can share verbally, using charts or other non-verbal options. See this TIP Sheet for more information on Think, Pair, Share.
Think Aloud: The purpose of asking students questions about texts is to get them into the habit of self-questioning as they read by themselves. To model this, share an informational text in front of the class. The audio can be captioned, signs, images, and key words can be used to support understanding. Then periodically, stop and ask questions out loud. Think-alouds can also be pre-recorded so that students can listen and watch them multiple times with captions. Then, as you continue to read, model how you begin answering the questions yourself. See this TIP Sheet for more information on how to model using a Think Aloud.
Make reducing barriers a process - take a few minutes to think about your process! Is there a barrier related to:
background knowledge? Think about how to highlight key ideas and define key vocabulary…
The Big Idea: Determine the source of information
Tell me more about… Sources of Information
Students are constantly gathering information from a variety of media. It is important for them to develop the ability to determine the source of information so they can critically evaluate the credibility of the information and determine what is factual from what is shaped by their opinion or the opinion of the author.
Characteristics of Different Media: Texts can present the same information differently from other media. While texts use words to describe aspects of people, topics, or events, these elements can be represented visually through other media.
Science/Math: Students can use illustrations, including charts, graphs, and diagrams, to better understand the text.
On the Phone: Invite students to think about the different ways they express words, such as using emojis, gestures, or expressions to convey an idea.
Second Grade: Identify author’s purpose (RI 6)

As it comes down to the wire with the Healthcare Reform Bill being merged from the Senate and the House, cries of unconstitutionality of the bill begin. Apparently several state attorneys general and trade associations have expressed concern. It all comes down to the federal government ‘mandating’ insurance coverage.
Opposi health coverage or impose fines on those who don’t obtain coverage. Supporters say it falls under the legislative power to levy taxes.
Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum released a statement in December saying:
"I mandate. Such a 'living tax' is worrisome because i … Given these concerns, my "
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has sent a letter to legislators in Texas stating that Congress's power to levy taxes is "not unlimited".other state attorneys general challenged constitutionality over what is called the "Cornhusker Kickback," which has the cost of all newly eligible Medicaid enrollees in Nebraska be paid for by the federal government, apparently to obtain the vote of Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson. Seems there is a U.S. Supreme Court case that states'display of arbitrary power.'
Word has it that several trade associations will challenge the Healthcare Reform Bill as well, arguing that the federal government is beyond its scope of authority in passing the bill or that the billIf any of this is true; if the expectation is that lawsuits will start to fly as soon as the Healthcare Reform Bill is passed; a‘hurry’ the bill along; doesn’t it make sense to take the time to do it right; get it right; and get support? How will it possibly help the American people if we pass a bill that will be tied up in court for years? Force this bill and all I can say is… Let the Lawsuits Begin!


"I," McEwan says. "I'm like, 'Oka?'"
"It's really funny how they come up with all these thoughts that they believe are so invaluable to me."
Their supposedly invaluable thoughts?
An "That side's usually empty."
Which is all pretty much the way Mark McEwan intended it. "Everybody thinks alike in this business. It's a herd mentality," he scoffs. "And so I've gone against the grain."

The museum makes tremendous efforts to preserve and display all of these invaluable assets, ensuring they are kept in good condition.

This is the Impala driven by the rapper in the halftime show.
Low riders have become some of America's most iconic automotive enthusiasts because of their incredibly low to the ground cars. These vehicles minimize ride hide severely; they also sport some crazy paint colors and designs. To many, these cars were created to reflect the incredibly colorful culture of central America, which is something that they do very well. With today's straightforward access to parts via the internet, we've seen a lot more classic cars popping up left and right. These cars have become extremely popular as it is easier than ever to build your very own lowrider. S unique compared to its California cruiser cousins?
The main distinction of this car is the attentive design and focus on the most minor details, which makes this one of the most visually attractive Impalas of all time. Countless hours were spent by the owner perfecting every pinstripe and planning out the suspension. Initially, the car was going to be on airbags. However, the lowrider community tends to look down on air-ride suspension as it's a lot easier than dealing with a hydraulic setup. Eventually, the car evolved into a complete low riding champion with a suspension system that could rival any hopper or weekend cruiser.
Under the hood of this car was a definitively chosen V8 engine which was meant to combine the power of a muscle car with the lowrider style that the owner had looked up to for so long. This car was built as the bridge between the iconic attitude of the 1950s lowrider scene with the 1960s and '70s focus on power and performance. Without a doubt, the owner did what he set out to do but in case you needed more proof, this car was also featured in a Super Bowl ad. In this commercial, the legendary Snoop Dogg got behind the wheel of this low riding masterpiece and forever cemented the name "Mothership" into the community's history.

r, especially if they want to challenge in Europe
Retired Italy international Gianluca Vialli believes that Paris Saint-Germain star Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be a superb signing for Juventus as they continue their search for a high-profile attacker.
Vialli, who wore the Juve jersey from 1992 until 1996, has admitted that Napoli's Edinson Cavani could be an even better alternative due to his age, but has stressed that the Old Lady could challenge for top honours again in Europe if they were to re-sign Ibrahimovic.
"I can imagine Ibra returning to Juventus. If I could choose, I would go for Cavani due to his age, but Ibrahimovic could be the answer to all of Juve's problems," Vialli told Sky Sport Italia.
"With the arrival of Zlatan, we would see a Juventus that would not only be able to challenge in Italy, but in Europe as well.
"A-m.

Typically, when patients come to me, and they're interested in breast surgery, they're really interested in improving their proportions in hips, to their breasts, and their shoulders. They want to be a little more natural appearing. After having babies, they deflate. Or it could just be improved volume based on what they were born with.
Breast augmentation, you have three different planes or different pockets where we can place an implant. The first pocket is under the breast. It's called a subglandular pocket. That's directly behind the breast tissue. The second pocket is completely under the muscle.
Expected cost for a breast augmentation ranges anywhere between $5,000 to $6,000. Typically, the cost difference is usually between a saline and silicone product, and if there's any other adjustments of the breast shape, the breast tissue, any kind of asymmetries that may or may not be required at the time.
