Watch What You Say About FEMA

Politicians decry the Federal Emergency Management Agency at their peril. They never know when they might find themselves shamefully explaining away a misstatement or even a snarky remark about the federal disaster assistance agency in the wake of a big storm. Like now.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney suggested last year in a primary debate that the role of states should be strengthened in response to natural disasters, and that the federal role should decrease. ?Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that?s the right direction,? he said back then.

Here?s what he?s saying now, through spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg in an e-mail to National Journal. ?States should be in charge of emergency management in responding to storms and other natural disasters in their jurisdictions. As the first responders, states are in the best position to aid affected individuals and communities.?

That?s not very different from what Romney said last year, except that the thought of ?taking away? anything from the federal government is buried. The final sentence of Henneberg?s note answers the question that everyone is asking: ?This includes help from the federal government and FEMA.?

For the record: No, Romney does not favor shuttering FEMA. The only presidential candidate who has made such a suggestion is Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas. (It?s worth noting that Paul also wants to eliminate the Federal Reserve, the Internal Revenue Service, the Education Department, the Commerce Department, the Energy Department, the Interior Department, and the Office of Housing and Urban Development.)

What Romney is describing is basically what?s happening now. FEMA exists solely to support states and cities that need help preparing for and recovering from storms, floods, or tornados. It does not take on that coordinating role in states unless they are invited by a governor who has declared a state of emergency. In effect, FEMA now functions as a big checkbook. It provides money to states and cities that need resources to evacuate people, set up shelters, or sandbag. It also directs money to those areas after a storm to help local areas rebuild and clean up.

President Obama and Romney may disagree vehemently over health care and abortion, but they are in pretty close agreement about how federal disaster aid should work, given their comments about Hurricane Sandy. Both want the states and local officials to run the show. They both say everyone needs to cooperate.

?There's been extraordinarily close coordination between state, federal, and local governments. And so we?re confident that the assets are prepositioned for an effective response in the aftermath of the storm,? Obama said from the Oval Office on Monday. Romney, in solidarity with the effort, cancelled all his campaign events.

The appropriate balance between state and federal resources devoted to disaster response is an ongoing (and nonpartisan) question. States with the best preparation can direct their emergency activities toward the greatest needs, with or without FEMA?s help. States that aren?t as well set up have difficulty responding to a natural disaster no matter what FEMA does. Emergency officials in both the Obama and Bush administrations have struggled with this balance, especially when states are facing budget crunches.

?FEMA is only as good as the state it works in,? said Daniel Craig, who ran the recovery division of FEMA in the Bush administration and now runs his own disaster recovery firm, Tidal Basin Government Consulting. ?The states are in charge. If a state can handle it, they handle it. And if it?s beyond their ability to handle it, they ask the government to come in.?

If Romney were to become president, would anything change? It?s hard to know based on his comments, but Craig offers a hint. ?A strong FEMA makes states weak,? he said. ?This is my personal view, but if the federal government is strong, the states start to rely on the federal government.??

If FEMA is seen by states as a default provider of aid, the federal agency can become strained with too many requests for help. Hurricane Sandy is a perfect example. The storm had the potential to affect states up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Where does FEMA go? Atlantic City or Alexandria, Va.? What if the storm didn?t land there? ?You don?t want to follow the storm,? Craig said.

Because FEMA doesn?t do anything in the affected areas without consulting with local officials, the state, local, and federal relationship should be almost seamless. Fortunately, emergency officials at all levels of government are used to working closely with one another.

Emergency response is not a political issue. FEMA and state emergency officials are like one big family. Craig is close friends with the current FEMA director Craig Fugate, for example. He knows the state emergency directors from many of the Northeast and Atlantic states. He says that although the hours and challenges of working at FEMA are brutal?particularly on families?he would go back to FEMA in a heartbeat.

?FEMA has a critical mission, and the people do an unbelievable job. People are working over there 24/7 and nobody sees it. The state governments are the same way,? Craig said.

That sounds a lot like the way both Romney and Obama view the agency, which means there likely won?t be much change to FEMA no matter who wins the election.

You need to find a new dentist. Your old one wasn?t working out or you just moved to town. Whatever your reasons, you?ve decided that this time you really want to invest the time and find the right dentist for you and your family.

Below you will find a step by step guide on how to find the best dentist in the area, especially if you are looking for a dentist in Hawkinsville, Ga..

#1: ?Check to see if your dentist insurance recommends anyone

If you have dental insurance, you can save a lot of money by selecting a dentist that works with your insurance carrier. The easiest way to check this is to contact your dental insurance company and ask them what dentist in Hawkinsville, Ga.?area are covered under your insurance. They should be able to provide you with a list of dentists that you can choose from in your area. Some dental insurance companies allow you to use any dentist. However, this may require you to pay for the services upfront, and then be reimbursed directly from the insurance company.

#2: ?Ask your friends and family for dentist references

One of the best ways to find the right dentist in for you is to ask your family, friends, coworkers and neighbors to recommend a dentist for you. If you trust the opinion of the person you ask, then this could be a great reference for you. ?You can also check online for different references for dentists. Many people use the internet to tell other about their good or bad experiences with different dentist in Hawkinsville, Ga.?area. This may give you a good overall picture of what the dentist?s patients think about his services.

#3: ?Check the Dentist?s (and his staff?s) credentials

When deciding which dentist is right for you, it is important to make sure that the dentist you are considering has the right education and experience. You definitely want to choose a dentist who has either a DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) or a DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) degree. It is also a good idea to choose a dentist who is a member of the American Dental Association. This association makes sure that each of its members has the right dental credentials, and also required continuing education classes. You also want to choose a dentist who has several years of experience in providing dental care to patients in your specific area.

There are two specific areas that you really want to check up on your dentist?credentials:

Dentist?Education

First off, you?ll need to make sure that the dentist is educated and certified. Check into the school where the dentist in Hawkinsville, Ga.?obtained his degree. Was the school reputable or accredited? Did he belong to a particular honor society? You don?t want your dentist to have gone to a fly by night school or a dentist who just barely passed school.

Dentist?Professional Organizations

The next step in choosing a dentist is to look at his current affiliations. Is the dentist involved in any dentistry associations? Has he or she held a position in that organization? The dentist?s involvement in professional associations like the American Dental Association can tell you if they know the best practices and current innovations.

#4: ?Look into your dentists??track record

Find out what kind of experience your dentist in Hawkinsville, Ga.?has had. How long have they been practicing? Are they part of a long, standing, well-known practice if they are new? Do they have specialties? Check to see if they or any previous practices that they worked at have had complaints filed against them. Ask around town. If no one has heard of them, that may be a red flag. Or even worse, someone you know may have received bad service. Of course, sometimes one person may have had a bad experience, while everyone else has had a good one.

#5: ?Find out what services your dentist offers

Not all dentists have the exact same goods and services. When you choose a dentist in the area, call the dentist or go to their website to see the services offered. Make sure that the services offered will fit your current and projected future needs. It can be expensive if you have to go to a specialty office later on. Make sure that they offer comprehensive exams. A good quality dentist will do more than just have an oral hygienist clean your teeth, especially on the first visit. Do they take x-rays? Do they check your whole mouth or just the teeth? Do they offer counseling or financial programs? It?s significant to consider whether or not the dentist in Hawkinsville, Ga.?provides information on all aspects of oral hygiene.

#6: ?Make an appointment with your dentist

After you have gone through all of the previous steps, you should call and make an appointment. There are several reason why you should make an appointment even before you have decided upon your final dentist. First, you can tell a lot about the dentist?s office by how their staff treats you on the phone. Are they polite? Do they get you in quickly? Secondly, you really can?t make a judgment call about the dentist until you have seen them in person. Visiting the office can send some red flags that you hadn?t previously seen.

Your visit shouldn?t be for anything serious. They should just give you a consultation first. Be wary of any dentist in Hawkinsville, Ga.?that suggests immediate, extreme dental work and discourages a second opinion.

#7: ?Give the dentist a post visit evaluation

Was the office clean? Was the staff polite? Did the dentist offer you advice that you were uncomfortable with? Were they up to date on all the latest practices? Were all of their instruments in good repair? DO they work with your insurance?

When you go for your visit, take your check list of important items with you. As you talk with the dentist in Hawkinsville, Ga., mark down things that they have or don?t. This will make your post visit evaluation easier.

NEW YORK (AP) ? New York City Marathon organizers expect Sunday's race to run with little effect from Hurricane Sandy.

New York Road Runners President Mary Wittenberg said Monday that "we have time on our side" ? enough time to prepare the race course and for runners to travel to the city after the superstorm passes through.

She says NYRR has contingency plans every year to adjust to any damage from bad weather.

The deadline to withdraw from the race and guarantee a spot in next year's event likely will be pushed back from Wednesday to Saturday for any runners unable to make the trip because of the storm.

Google removes Nexus Q from landing page, further distances itself from a curious launch

Google had already yanked the "In Stock" status from its Nexus Q as we awaited a re-envisioning of its purpose, but today's Nexus launch is making it ever clearer that we may never hear from the bizarre orb again. Launched in July with an almost unbelievably small set of features, it took but a few weeks for Google to postpone the proper launch while sending free units to those who pre-ordered. Now, its placement on the Nexus landing page has been removed entirely, with the Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 roaming the page alone. The Q's placement in the Play Store remains, but an ominous "This device is not for sale at this time" message accompanies it. Google had not returned a request for comment at the time of this article's publication, but we'll update should we hear back.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) ? Manti Te'o and No. 5 Notre Dame don't care whether people believe in them or not. They're just out to keep winning.

Everett Golson threw for 177 yards and plunged in for the decisive 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, Te'o bolstered his Heisman Trophy candidacy with a late interception and No. 5 Notre Dame beat No. 8 Oklahoma 30-13 on Saturday night to remain undefeated.

Despite winning their first seven games for the first time in a decade, the Fighting Irish came in as the underdogs but certainly didn't play like it.

"What we'd been hearing was a lot of people didn't think we could win this game. That kind of just added that fuel to my fire that was already burning," said Golson, who returned after sitting out last week's win against BYU because of a concussion.

"We just wanted to come out and show them that we can."

Te'o, the standout linebacker who has a penchant for causing turnovers, dove when Landry Jones' pass ricocheted off Jalen Saunders and got his gloved hands under it. Kyle Brindza tacked on his third field goal soon after, and Theo Riddick added a late touchdown run as the Fighting Irish (8-0) put it away with 20 fourth-quarter points.

"We knew what we could do. Today's no surprise," said Te'o, who has five interceptions and two fumble recoveries this season.

"We knew that if we came to work, we came into today with confidence and everybody doing their job that we would be fine. I'm glad we came out the right way."

Jones threw for 356 yards with no touchdowns for the Sooners (5-2), who were still clinging to hope they could get back in the national title race before the loss. Saunders caught 15 passes for 181 yards in just his third game with the team.

"We're better than we were at the start of the season," Jones said. "We hit a bump in the road. Maybe the national championship's not in the picture, that's probably gone, but we still have the Big 12 and a bowl game up in front of us."

Any doubts left about Notre Dame should be fading away after winning at a place where the Sooners had been 79-4 under coach Bob Stoops. The Irish are the only team in the country with four wins against Top 25 teams ? including two on the road against top-10 foes.

"We really don't think about that. We really don't care what other people think of us," coach Brian Kelly said. "(The players) really just care about each other, Notre Dame and winning football games. They'll let everybody else decide who we are."

The game revived a rivalry that had been largely dormant since the 1960s, with only one meeting since then ? in Stoops' first season as the Sooners' coach in 1999. The Irish won eight of the first nine meetings, including three times when they handed Oklahoma its only loss of the season ? most notably in 1957, when the Sooners' NCAA-record 47-game winning streak was snapped.

This meeting between two of college football's two traditional powers was no different, and Notre Dame's throwback defense gave the game a taste of days gone by.

Te'o and the second-ranked Irish defense frequently gave up underneath passes but prevented them from turning into big gains, making the Sooners snap the ball over and over while the Irish waited for a mistake that would snuff out the drive. Oklahoma's first two red-zone possessions ended with field goals, and the Sooners turned to backup quarterback Blake Bell and their "Belldozer" short-yardage run package to finally punch one in and tie it at 13 with 9:10 remaining.

Even then, it was exactly the kind of game the Irish ? averaging nearly 20 points less than Oklahoma's 44.7 ? wanted to be in.

"That was the way we set up. We were going to give up yards to keep the points down," Kelly said. "We could not let the points get out of reach for us."

Golson, who had to come out for the final play of the third quarter after getting flattened by Oklahoma's Tony Jefferson, answered Bell's touchdown on the very next play with a 50-yard post pass to freshman Chris Brown ? his first career reception.

It took five more plays for Notre Dame to punch it in from the 15, with Golson taking a shotgun snap for a quarterback draw and diving into the line from the 1 to make it 20-13 with 5:05 remaining.

Jones tried to rally the Sooners, but linebacker Dan Fox slammed into Saunders as the pass arrived and Te'o ? seemingly always around the ball ? was right there to pick it off. The Irish, who were giving up just 9.4 points per game, haven't allowed more than 17 in a game this season.

"With this defense, when somebody scores, we get really frustrated," Te'o said. "I think it showed our maturity by how we rallied after that touchdown. We just kept going."

An Owen Field-record crowd of 86,031 responded to the university's request to "stripe the stadium," with a candy-cane look of alternating red and white sections ? appropriately so with a cold snap running through Norman.

The Sooners never could get their offense producing points, and Stoops was denied his chance to tie Bud Wilkinson for second-place in school history with his 145th career win.

"We moved it well. We threw and caught it well. It seems when we got to the 35, we sputtered down," Jones said, "but give credit to Notre Dame."

Cierre Wood put the Irish up early, taking a handoff and racing untouched right up the middle for a 62-yard touchdown two plays after Oklahoma struck first on Michael Hunnicutt's 28-yard field goal.

Te'o racked up 11 tackles in the first half, plowing through Jones for his first sack to end one drive. The Irish plodded 13 plays afterward, eating up nearly 6 minutes while driving for Kyle Brzinda's 28-yard field goal and a 10-3 advantage.

It was one of three 13-play drives for Notre Dame.

The Sooners thought momentarily they'd tied it up on a 4-yard touchdown run by Bell, but a holding penalty against guard Bronson Irwin kept the Irish's run of not allowing a rushing touchdown intact a little while longer.

Te'o was disappointed that piece of trivia eventually slipped away ? or any touchdown was scored at all ? but satisfied with another step toward a title.

"We've come a long way," Te'o said. "We're going to continue to get better. That's our main goal right now. Just continue to get better and not be satisfied with being 8-0."

Former pop star Gary Glitter arrested

LONDON (Reuters) - One-time pop star Gary Glitter was arrested on Sunday as part of an investigation into allegations of child sex abuse by the late BBC presenter Jimmy Savile, the BBC said.

It was the first arrest to be reported in a scandal that has already damaged the reputation of the publicly-funded BBC and the legacy of Savile, a former DJ who was one of the broadcaster's top show hosts and a dedicated charity fundraiser.

The head of the BBC's governing body said on Sunday the broadcaster's reputation was on the line, and promised to get to the bottom of the scandal.

A police statement said a man in his 60s had been picked up just after 7 am British Time on suspicion of sexual offences in the investigation into "Savile and others". The statement did not name the man and a spokesman declined further comment.

The BBC and Sky News identified the man picked up from his London home as Glitter, a 68-year-old who was popular as a glam-rock singer in the 1970s. Footage on both broadcasters showed Glitter, who was not handcuffed, leaving an apartment in central London and being driven away.

Glitter, born Paul Gadd, shot to fame in the early 1970s with the hit "Rock and Roll". He has long been dogged by child sex accusations. He was convicted of abusing two girls in Vietnam in 2006 and has been jailed in that country.

Allegations that Savile sexually abused young girls for decades first emerged in an expose on the TV channel ITV. Since then, police say some 300 victims had come forward.

The victims' allegations include claims from one woman that she had seen Glitter having sex with an underage girl in Savile's BBC dressing room while Savile abused another girl.

BLIND EYE?

The scandal has raised troubling questions about the BBC's management and its workplace culture in the past. Revelations that an investigation by Newsnight, the BBC's flagship TV news show, was shelved last December led to claims bosses at the broadcaster knew about the allegations but kept quiet.

"Can it really be the case that no one knew what he was doing? Did some turn a blind eye to criminality?" asked Chris Patten, chairman of the BBC Trust which oversees the broadcaster, writing in the Mail on Sunday.

The Sunday Times said the office of former BBC director Mark Thompson was alerted about the allegations twice, in May and September. Thompson is poised to take over as chief executive of the New York Times, and the Sunday Times quoted his spokesman as saying Thompson had not been told about the allegations on either occasion.

Thompson has told Reuters that he did not know about the nature of the investigation by the Newsnight programme into Savile, and had no involvement in the decision to axe the report.

The BBC said on its website on Sunday that "Thompson has said the first time he had been made aware of claims that Savile had committed serious crimes and that some had taken place while the entertainer was working at the BBC was after he stepped down as director general".

The broadcaster has announced two investigations as a result of the scandal, and Patten promised full cooperation.

"The BBC's reputation is on the line," he wrote. "The BBC must tell the truth and face up to the truth about itself, however terrible."

When Savile died in October last year aged 84, his gold coffin went on public display and he was lauded as a "national treasure" who had raised millions of pounds for good causes.

A year later, police describe him as "undoubtedly" one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders, and the Vatican said a papal knighthood given to Savile decades ago for his charity work "should not have been bestowed".

Savile's family said it was in despair over the allegations and offered its "deepest sympathy" to abuse victims. It also said it had decided to remove the headstone on Savile's grave and destroy it to avoid it becoming a target for vandals.

Bean used in Chinese food could protect against sepsis

ScienceDaily (Oct. 26, 2012) ? Researchers at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research have discovered that a bean commonly used in Chinese cuisine protects against the life-threatening condition sepsis. These findings are published in the current issue of Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (eCAM).

It has been found that a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) protein, HMGB1, mediates inflammation. Inflammation is necessary for maintaining good health -- without inflammation, wounds and infections would never heal. However, persistent and constant inflammation can damage tissue and organs, and lead to diseases such as sepsis. Sepsis affects approximately 750,000 Americans each year, 28 to 50 percent of whom die from the condition, and costs the nation's healthcare system nearly $17 billion annually. It is a potentially life-threatening complication of an infection or injury, and occurs when chemicals released into the bloodstream to fight the infection trigger inflammation throughout the body. The result is that organs become damaged, including liver, heart, lungs, kidney, and brain. If excessive damage occurs, it may be irreversible. Therefore, it is important to identify ways in which persistent and constant inflammation can be halted.

Neutralizing the protein HMGB1 protects against persistent and constant inflammation that results in damage to tissue and organs. Haichao Wang, PhD, and his colleagues, including Shu Zhu, MD and PhD, and Andrew E. Sama, MD, at the Feinstein Institute found that extract from mung bean (Vigna radiata), a bean native to India and commonly used in Chinese food and traditional medicine, reduced the release of HMGB1, thereby increasing survival rates in mice from 29.4 percent to 70 percent (P < 0.05).

"Many traditional medicinal herbs have been successfully developed into effective therapies for various inflammatory ailments, and now we have validated the therapeutic potential of another medicinal product, mung bean extract," said Dr. Wang. "Demonstrating that mung bean extract has a positive effect on septic mice shows promise that this bean can also have a positive effect on septic humans -- of course, additional studies are required to prove the safe and effective use in humans."

The Feinstein Institute and its parent company, the North Shore-LIJ Health System, have been dedicated to studying and treating sepsis. In 2010, the Feinstein Institute hosted an international Merinoff Symposium dedicated to sepsis. This symposia attracted researchers, policymakers and other opinion leaders from around the world who identified that sepsis should be categorized as a medical emergency treatable with fluids and antibiotics within one hour of recognition. The health system mounted an aggressive sepsis prevention and early identification initiative that has reduced the health system's sepsis mortality rate by 35 percent in the last four years, which translates into thousands of saved lives.
