I Spoke Too Soon

My expectations that SJ would be moving to new digs at WordPress yesterday were brutally dashed. My initial reaction was to say "screw it, this isn't worth the hassle anymore," but I spoke with a few friends who persuaded me not to give up the effort. 

It appears that my plans, having already gone through at least three iterations, need to be redrawn. While I remain disinclined to spend a substantial amount of money to make this happen as a matter of principle, the amount of work needed to accomplish this task has proven to be far harder, more involved and less interesting than previously thought.  At the moment, I have neither a solution nor a plan being carried out for an imminent move.  Without one, SJ will vanish one day when GoDaddy pulls the plug.

Hopefully, I will figure out a way to accomplish the move before that. In the meantime, I'll resume what I do here and if it ends up vanishing one day for lack of a viable plan, so be it.  It's the best I can do for the time being and under the circumstances. Sorry that things haven't worked out better thus far, but I'm still working on it.

[JURIST] The Florida Supreme Court [official website] ruled [opinion, PDF] Thursday that employers cannot discriminate against pregnant women under Florida state law. The court held that the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 (FCRA) [text], which makes it "an unlawful employment practice for an employer to discriminate based on an individual," includes discrimination based on pregnancy, which is a natural condition and primary characteristic unique to the female sex. In making its decision, the court focused on previous case law...

Osteoporosis drugs appear to impede cell membrane repair

A class of drugs widely used to treat osteoporosis appears to impede a cell's ability to repair a protective outer membrane that helps determine what enters and exits, researchers report. The inability to quickly repair a membrane is lethal to a cell and may help explain the rare and serious side effect of jawbone destruction that can occur following dental work in patients taking these drugs, the researchers note.

Researchers hypothesized that the decline of cognitive impairment is involved in oral perceptions since its preclinical stage. The aim of this study was to examine association of cognitive function with tactile and taste perceptions in independently-living 80-year-old elderly. These results suggest that the decline of cognitive function was related to tactile and taste perceptions in independently-living octogenarians without dementia.

Top 5 Signs Your Kids Need Orthodontic Treatments

By Colby

 

If you have children, you know that kids are expensive. Between food, clothes, toys, music lessons and school supplies, you probably already spend more money than you want to. If this is the case, shelling out thousands of dollars for braces is probably the last thing you want to do. Before you make a decision on orthodontic treatments for your children, how can you know if they’re really necessary?

Crossbite
A crossbite can happen with just one tooth or a group of teeth. If your children seem to have one or more teeth that are too close to either the tongue or cheek, they could very well have a crossbite. The treatment for this varies, depending on the severity. However, the sooner it is corrected, the less expensive it will be for you.

Crowded Teeth
If your children complain about flossing, they could just hate the feeling of the floss in their mouth, but you should still check to see if their teeth are crowded. Teeth that are too close together can cause discomfort while flossing and are more likely to attract cavities.

Trouble Chewing
If your children’s teeth aren’t aligned right, you may notice them chewing their food on only one side of their mouth or swallowing food before it’s properly chewed. This can lead to complications and more problems down the road, so getting it taken care of soon is optimal.

Overbite or Underbite
If you think your children might be having trouble with the alignment of their teeth, ask them to give you a big smile. If a child’s lower jaw seems pretty far back compared to the upper jaw, they probably have an overbite. An underbite is when the lower jaw protrudes past the upper jaw. This is something that typically requires orthodontic work so it doesn’t get worse or affect other areas of the mouth.

Speech Impediment
While speech problems don’t necessarily come from teeth problems, they can. If you have trouble understanding your children sometimes and have to ask them to repeat themselves often, you may want to consider taking them to an orthodontist.
Irregular Loss of Baby Teeth

All kids lose their baby teeth at different times, but if you notice that one of your children seems to be losing his teeth early or late, it could indicate a problem. Also, pay attention to the rate at which your children are losing their baby teeth.

By taking your children to an orthodontist, their teeth will be healthier, and problems such as having a hard time eating or talking could be improved or fixed.

Anita is a freelance writer from Denver and often writes about family, health, home and finance. A mother of two, she enjoys traveling with her family when she isn’t writing. While many parents choose to take their children to an orthodontist for aesthetic purposes, the benefits of treatment go beyond appearance, says a Buford Orthodontist.

Latest Trends in Document Review: Benchmarks, Metrics, and Drivers

With decreases in data production, increased front-end analytics, and greater emphasis on search terms, it appears that document review projects have been evolving over the past four years. Externally, public pressure to reduce costs and recent developments in law are driving smaller review teams to do more with less. On this episode of the ESI Report, host Michele Lange interviews ESI expert Eli Nelson to discuss the latest trends and predictions for the eDiscovery industry. Eli Nelson is Of Counsel in the Washington, D.C. office of McKenna, Long and Aldridge where he is responsible for developing and implementing firm-wide practice standards for electronic discovery and information governance. Eli counsels clients and attorneys on the efficient use of technology, data mining techniques, and project management practices for litigation and compliance issues.

Salivary biomarkers have been studied to help determine the presence, risk, and progression of periodontal disease. However, clinical translation of salivary biomarkers from bench to chairside requires studies that identify biomarkers associated with the continuum of phases between health and periodontal disease. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify salivary biomarkers associated with gingivitis.

Mid-year union dues increase: Hudson notice required, opt-in not opt-out

The US Supreme Court this morning held that "when a public-sector union imposes a special assessment or dues increase, the union must provide a fresh Hudson notice and may not exact any funds from nonmembers without their affirmative consent."

Knox v. Service Employees Intl Union (US Supreme Ct 06/21/2012)

This is a remarkable decision for two reasons.

First, the Court has never before held that unions must issue a Hudson notice before changing the amount of dues. Hudson notices have always been based on an after-the-fact look-back based on the previous year's audited accounts.

Second, the Court has never before held that unions cannot collect fees from nonmembers unless they affirmatively opt in. The Hudson notice system has always been based on the idea that nonmembers can get an after-the-fact refund.

The union representing California public sector employees has an agency shop agreement which requires nonmembers to pay an annual fee for "chargeable" expenses - nonpolitical costs related to collective bargaining. In June 2005 the union sent out its annual Hudson notice which estimated that chargeable expenses would be 56.35% of its total expenditures. After the 30-day period that nonmembers had to object, the union announced a 25% increase to fund a broad range of political expenses, but nonmembers were given no choice as to whether they would pay into this fund.

The US Supreme Court held (7-2) that

"when a public-sector union imposes a special assessment or dues increase, the union must provide a fresh Hudson notice and may not exact any funds from nonmembers without their affirmative consent."

The Court described this case as one involving compelled funding of the speech of other private speakers or groups, which is akin to compelled speech and compelled association. Therefore, it is subject to "exacting First Amendment scrutiny." In order to prevent the union from extracting a loan from unwilling nonmembers, the union must issue a fresh Hudson notice and must exempt nonmembers unless they opt in.

Two Justices, CONCURRING in the judgment, criticized the majority for adopting an opt-in system of fee collection which was "not contained in the questions presented, briefed, or argued."

Two Justices, DISSENTING, pointed out that unions have always been allowed to calculate each year's fee based on its expenses during the previous year. Although an imperfect system, it is not unconstitutional.

Colored Fillings

"Your child has a cavity."

Not many parents want to hear those words, especially if their child has dental anxiety.

Last summer, I saw a three year old child who needed to have a filling on one of his upper molars.

The only reason he sat still in the chair long enough for us to remove the decay and get a filling put in was because we told him we were going to give him a yellow colored filling.

He loved tractors, and wanted it to be yellow like his toy tractor. When he was all done, we took a picture of it and gave it to him so he could show his friends and family.

I've found that giving children a colored filling (along with some other things we do to make the comfortable), helps them to sit in the dental chair and get their needed dental work completed.

Find out why baby teeth need to have fillings if they just fall out.

Colored Fillings

Colored fillings are made of the same composite materials as tooth-colored fillings, they simply have more exciting coloring added to them.

At our office, we have five colors to choose from: blue, green, yellow, orange, and pink.

To the right, you can see how the pink filling looks on a tooth - it's what most of the girls end up choosing.  That filling, as well as the green one above, was placed to fill in a cavity that formed between the teeth, which is one of the more common places you can get a cavity.

While we can do a colored filling to repair most cavities in baby teeth, nobody has had us do one on a front tooth yet!
