More Americans seeking dental treatment at the ER

(AP) ? More Americans are turning to the emergency room for routine dental problems ? a choice that often costs 10 times more than preventive care and offers far fewer treatment options than a dentist's office, according to an analysis of government data and dental research.

Most of those emergency visits involve trouble such as toothaches that could have been avoided with regular checkups but went untreated, in many cases because of a shortage of dentists, particularly those willing to treat Medicaid patients, the analysis said.

The number of ER visits nationwide for dental problems increased 16 percent from 2006 to 2009, and the report released Tuesday by the Pew Center on the States suggests the trend is continuing.

In Florida, for example, there were more than 115,000 ER dental visits in 2010, resulting in more than $88 million in charges. That included more than 40,000 Medicaid patients, a 40 percent increase from 2008.

Many ER dental visits involve the same patients seeking additional care. In Minnesota, nearly 20 percent of all dental-related ER visits are return trips, the analysis said.

That's because emergency rooms generally are not staffed by dentists. They can offer pain relief and medicine for infected gums but not much more for dental patients. And many patients are unable to find or afford follow-up treatment, so they end up back in the emergency room.

"Emergency rooms are really the canary in the coal mine. If people are showing up in the ER for dental care, then we've got big holes in the delivery of care," said Shelly Gehshan, director of Pew's children's dental campaign. "It's just like pouring money down a hole.

"It's the wrong service, in the wrong setting, at the wrong time," she said.

The center in Washington, D.C., is a division of the nonprofit Pew Charitable Trusts.

Pew researchers analyzed hospital information from 24 states, data from the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and studies on dental care.

Not all states collect data on ER visits for dental care, but those that do reveal the trend, Gehshan said.

In 2009 alone:

? Fifty-six percent of Medicaid-enrolled children nationwide received no dental care.

? South Carolina ER visits for dental-related problems increased nearly 60 percent from four years earlier.

? Tennessee hospitals had more than 55,000 dental-related ER visits ? five times as many as for burns.

Using emergency rooms for dental treatment "is incredibly expensive and incredibly inefficient," said Dr. Frank Catalanotto, a professor at the University of Florida's College of Dentistry who reviewed the report.

Preventive dental care such as routine teeth cleaning can cost $50 to $100, versus $1,000 for emergency room treatment that may include painkillers for aching cavities and antibiotics from resulting infections, Catalanotto said.

These infections can be dangerous, especially in young children, who may develop fevers and dehydration from preventable dental conditions. In Florida, for example, 200 children were hospitalized in 2006 for those types of infections, he said.

The recession has contributed to the trend, Catalanotto added. When a family member loses a job, dental care may take a back seat to food and other necessities.

Part of the problem is low Medicaid fees for dentists. In Florida, only about 10 percent of dentists participate in the state Medicaid program, he said.

The numbers also are rising in hospitals in Illinois, where dentists have complained about low Medicaid reimbursements.

Pekin Hospital in the central Illinois town of Pekin has seen a significant increase in ER patients with "very poor dental health," said Cindy Justus, the hospital's ER nursing director. They include uninsured patients and drug abusers, and many are repeat patients.

"There's just not a lot of options" for them, Justus said.

Shortages of dentists, especially in rural areas, have contributed to the problem, Gehshan said.

She said the Pew center is working with states to develop training for dental hygienists and other non-dentists in treating cavities and other uncomplicated procedures. Other potential steps include increasing water fluoridation and use of dental sealants.

Putting plastic sealants on molars can prevent cavities, but "children at the lowest risk are most likely to get them. It needs to be the opposite," Gehshan said.

CERN researchers find flaw in faster-than-light measurement

Last year, scientists at CERN clocked neutrinos traveling faster than light, a speed widely regarded as physically impossible. Now they say the measurement might have been flawed.?

Researchers have found a flaw in the technical setup of an experiment that startled the science world last year by appearing to show particles traveling faster than light.

Skip to next paragraph

The problem may have affected measurements that clocked subatomic?neutrino?particles breaking what Nobel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein considered the ultimate speed barrier.

Two separate issues were identified with the GPS system that was used to time the arrival of?neutrinos?at an underground lab in Italy, James Gillies, spokesman for the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, said Wednesday.

One could have caused the speed to be overestimated, the other could have caused it to be underestimated, he said.

"The bottom line is that we will not know until more measurements are done later this year," Gillies told The Associated Press.

The results of the experiment were received with great skepticism by scientists when they were published last September because they seemed to contradict Einstein's theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. That rule is fundamental to modern physics, and breaking it is seen as a step into the realms of science fiction where time travel and warp speed engines exist.

Even researchers involved in the experiment cautioned at the time that the measurements would need to be independently verified by other scientists before a genuine finding could be declared.

The experiment involved?neutrinos?being fired from CERN's site on the Swiss-French border to a vast underground laboratory 454 miles (730 kilometers) away at Gran Sasso in Italy.

Researchers found that the?neutrinos?appeared to arrive 60 nanoseconds sooner than if they had been traveling at light's speed of 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second).

The experiment's margin of error allowed for just 10 nanoseconds. A nanosecond is one-billionth of a second.

Corporate Team Building Struggles Of A Growing Business

February 25, 2012 on 3:01 am | By admin | In business news | Comments Off

For any business that is experiencing a rapid rise or turnover in staff, corporate team building is key. It?s not only key as in creating an atmosphere that attracts new staff, but it can also help retain exiting staff and therefore save money in HR. Therefore team building should always be seen as one of a companies most important and valuable investments. Corporate team building packages range from small and quirky half day sessions which can be undertaken and organised by a specialist company within your city, to bigger corporate hospitality packages which are ideal for bigger companies looking to entertain a larger number of people.

Roll Out the Barrel Aged Cocktail: Hands-On Innovation is Catching ...

For the cocktail geek, barrel-aged cocktails are one of the most interesting developments of the 21st century.
For the bar owner, barrel-aged cocktails are an opportunity to grab some hip cachet and pull in extra customers. And off-premise sellers should keep an eye on this trend, because pre-made versions are already available in bottles.

Barrel-aged cocktails are ?a big part of our business,? says Shawn Vergara, owner of Blackbird in San Francisco. ?We get a lot of people who like to come in and try these: industry people and cocktail enthusiasts.? Blackbird is a two-year-old bar in a city well known for its food and drinks scene. It serves no food, but the barrel-aged cocktail program put it on the map.

When a barrel-aged cocktail is good, it?s like nothing your best bartender can immediately whip up. The spirits have melded together over a period of weeks, yielding a seamlessly smooth drink. Depending on the type of wood used, it might also have interesting accents from the barrel.

Carin Galletta Oliver, president of the word-of-mouth marketing agency Ink Foundry, says having such cocktails as a signature item is a good way to impress. ?When consumers come into a restaurant and bar, they want something new and they want some sort of ?wow? experience,? says Oliver, whose clients include Outback Steakhouse and California Pizza Kitchen. ?A barrel-aged cocktail is something people want to go home and tell their friends about.?

However, there?s a reason barrel-aged cocktails are still found at only a few bars around the country: they take some investment, both in time and money. And if you find out after six weeks (or more) that you don?t like what you made, you have to either sell it anyway or, better, eat the losses. That?s why Jeffrey Morgenthaler, the bartender who imported the trend from London and now manages the bar at Clyde Common in Portland, says in an instructional video for Hudson Whiskey: ?Start small.?

A barrel-aged cocktail program like Blackbird?s can be elaborate: the bar does three or four cocktails at a time with different types of aging vessels. But even a single barrel-aged cocktail?perhaps a classic like a Manhattan or Negroni?can get attention.

You can try the concept by sampling High West?s ?36th Vote? Barreled Manhattan, made with the Utah distillery?s rye, sweet vermouth and bitters. It?s a steep $57, but it is delicious, with a softer profile and longer finish than you?d expect from a 74 proof drink. But if you?re in the bar business, you?re going to want to make your own.

Nick & Toni?s Caf? in Manhattan has been doing a barrel-aged Negroni for about a year. Assistant General Manager Richard Scoffier found inspiration on his honeymoon in the Finger Lakes, and uses Seneca Drums Gin as the base. ?It took a while to catch on last year,? he says, ?but then it sold out quickly at the end of the summer so we had a bit of a gap where we were out of it this fall. It?s a steady seller and I?m getting ready to put my third batch in the barrel now.? Promotion of the cocktail is low-key: ?When someone asks for a Negroni we tell them we?ve got a house version. Other people are just intrigued about the barrel aging and want to give it a shot.?

Getting on the Barrel Bandwagon

A few months ago, this story might have said, ?The first thing you need is the barrel.? Tuthilltown Spirits in New York, which makes Hudson Whiskey, is the main company selling the small new barrels used to make these drinks. A 5-liter barrel is $96 before shipping. You can and should use the barrel more than once, but it is a startup cost.

However, now there?s an even cheaper way. Blackbird has begun aging cocktails in glass barrels with oak staves, ironically the exact same way that the wine industry saves money on barrels.

?We wanted to offer a lower price,? Vergara says. ?A $10 cocktail moves a lot better than a $12 cocktail. If we can use products that allow us to keep the price down to $10, that helps.?

The ingredients list is important. Avoid anything that isn?t spirits-based, such as juices, because they can go cloudy or even spoil. Fortified wine products like Vermouth and Sherry will work, but avoid unfortified wines or beer. Vergara now avoids organic liquors, which may not have the same preservatives. ?We used one product that was organic, an organic cordial, and it fell out of the solution,? he recalls.

Consider using white liquors instead of those already aged in wood, so you avoid double-oaking. But before you reach for the vodka, consider this: the cocktail enthusiast tends to favor whiskey-based drinks. Solve this by using unaged ?white dog? whiskies.

Make sure to prime the barrel first by filling with water and draining. You can pour the ingredients right into the barrel and stir. There?s no set time for the cocktail to be ready. Morgenthaler suggests you begin tasting it after six weeks, and often after that until you like the results.

At that point it?s important to empty the barrel into a glass vessel so the cocktail won?t absorb any more wood. Morgenthaler suggests leaving some of it behind as an experiment, so you can see if you would have liked it a week or two ?woodier.? Filter the drink through a cheesecloth to remove stray bits of wood.

Selecting the Right Real Estate Property for Your Business

HTML Ready Article. Click on the "Copy" button to copy into your clipboard.

By: Jason Lom

Finding a new commercial real estate property for a business can be a difficult and time-consuming process. There are several different factors that need to be considered, and the selection and negotiating process can take months. If you don't know what you're doing, the whole thing can get rather frustrating. Here are some guidelines to help in finding the right commercial property for your business.?

When you're looking for commercial office space for which you want to lease out some space to other tenants, the general rule of thumb is "more is better." Of course, this also assumes that you do not overpay for the property with the higher number of units. But all things being equal, it is better to have more units to rent out. This way, you can afford to charge less for each unit and still turn a profit. You can also afford to have a couple vacant units at any given time and still be able to make money on the venture.

As the old saying goes, the three most important aspects of real estate are "location, location, location." This is especially true with commercial property. If you are acquiring a property for any type of retail purpose, you need to thoroughly examine the area in which it's located. How much traffic does it have? What are the demographics of the area? Is it a growing or dying area population wise? Do the people in this area have a need/desire for your product/service? All these things need to be examined.

When it comes to getting financing from the bank, make sure all your financial statements are in order. One of the major criteria banks are looking at is how well organized your company is, because a better organized better run company is far more likely to succeed. If the financial statements appear to be messy, this alone could be enough to cause the bank to turn down the financing.

When it comes to choosing a commercial real estate broker, be sure you're dealing with one who is reputable and knows what they're doing. Ask others you do business with for references and find a commercial realtor you know you can trust and will have your best interests at heart. If you don't feel like you can trust the folks you're working with, then you could be in for some major headaches during this transaction.

Square footages works a bit different with commercial real estate verses residential. With commercial property, buyers normally look at total square feet and usable square feet. Total square feet is everything including the walls and all other unusable space, while usable square feet is the space that is available to be used to conduct business. Both figures are needed to properly assess the value of the property.

Finally, consider the tax implications of any commercial real estate transaction. Unlike residential, we are talking about more than just property tax. You will want to go over with your accountant how you will benefit tax-wise from this investment. Often, you will be able not only deduct interest, but take a nice write down for depreciation as well.

Retirement Savings in Drawdown? Keep in mind Equity Publish ...

A lot of people are combating this prolonged recession. Researching the news, it doesn?t necessarily expect to be getting any better in some unspecified time in the future. Meanwhile, those who recently retired thinking they had a big enough nest egg or pension to aid them, have watched the markets slash the value of their total investments and pensions, while aprs keep savings accounts providing insufficient value in any respect. Some individuals just need a dollop of extra help financially, for their own reasons or others with their family. These products should seriously consider home equity release schemes.

What is equity release?
Principle definition of equity release is just finding a way for you to getting money out of an investment. For most people, the most significant investment they have would be the home, so most plans are mortgages on property assets called lifetime mortgages. Those are under no circumstances standard mortgage, like the ones having just been paid in full once retirement has been attained. Rather they?re really a specialist lifetime mortgage that has specific features of the individuals over 55 yrs of age that they really are restricted to.

The rest of your life mortgage is principally duplicate re-mortgaging your residence. However, the financial adviser who works to created the equity release plan has a volume of potential options to offer any prospective applicant. People like having their equity release loan paid to them in an, one-off cash ? just like a traditional mortgage. Others might require the tax free lump sum payment to be paid in stages, as an alternative to all at once. A less common request is made for the bucks to become paid as a thoughtful regular income.

What can the tax-free cash be accustomed for?
This arrangement is excellent for someone trying to enhance their retirement lifestyle by way of renovating their own home, build an extension or build a gift for their children. By re-investing funds taken out of your respective property are going to have longer term positive effect on the end value of your property after it is all mixed up sold. This is of curiosity for your children & their inheritance.

Therefore, people taking a look at a release of equity should not consider lifetime mortgages being a poor choice, as although these are taking cash-out, these are upgrading the home & hopefully adding or helping to retain its value.

Which are the choices?
You will find further methods available in a potential applicant when contemplating equity release schemes. They can now pay for the interest on an monthly basis, therefore keeping the magnitude of the equity release loan fixed. This example is really a fixed interest only lifetime mortgage, as well as a great way of keeping how large debt at bay.

These plans are actually given much consideration as there is also the flexibility to choose how much of the interest you want to pay. Therefore, you could work at your own budget.

Another option for all those wanting to make extra savings or pensions would be the skill to release the equity release funds slowly; using the tax free cash being withdrawn in smaller increments being a wage would. Which means that a further quantity of funds can be made usable with a monthly basis, making it not difficult to supplement pensions or savings and not must go back to work or sell the domain entirely.

If ever you choose flexibility of when & simply how much you withdraw then getting a drawdown equity release plan may well be considered. After taking an initial tranche of capital from a facility stimulated by the obligation provider, next you can draw ad-hoc payments from thus reserve whenever required. Therefore, any time a new car, boiler or holiday requires payment the funds are accessible inside of a 1-2 week window.

In both of such examples, the value of our home equity release loan might be repaid in the event the residence is sold; either if downsizing, or if the policy holders move into care. Alternatively, while the inheritance estate is dispersed, the equity release loan is going to be a section of the liability at the value of your house.

How is ta lime mortgage repaid?
When the residence is sold, then the equity release plan is repaid. Alternatively, in case a participant in the family wishes to retain ownership of a typical property, maybe for letting or investment purposes, these will pay back the equity release loan ? possibly through a residential or buy-to-let mortgage arrangement.

However, what is vital may be that there are alternatives for all those struggling financially inside their retirement, when staying on a significant family home. Often people believe that financing the property might be shifting a debt to another generation, however it is associated with a house asset ? and as such passes at the option of keeping the family home, or selling it at a later time. Hopefully, once property values do start to rise it may have better market values than throughout the current recession.

equityrelease.net Summarizing, the choices that lifetime mortgages present could possibly be comforting the people who need some extra money. They can be helpful with their timeliness, they are available and could be completed inside a relatively short period of time (when compared to that of selling real estate). Such as features that prone to be agreeable and attractive into the over 55?s who will be attempting to find this support likewise equityrelease.net.

'Sweethearting' deals cost retailers billions

By Eve Tahmincioglu

Jim Dailakis, a comedian and actor, got a free day on his rental car last year thanks to a generous company employee who was flirting with him.

?Not only was she sweet, she had the best smile and a wonderful personality,? said Dailakis, who lives in New York. ?I was very grateful.?

Executives of the unidentified company probably would not be so grateful.

The freebie Dailakis enjoyed has a name in business lingo. It's called "sweethearting," and it costs companies billions of dollars in losses, according to a new study to be published in The Journal of Marketing.

While there are some companies that encourage perks for favored customers, the new study focuses on ?unauthorized discounts to customers, thus not embraced by management,? said Clay Voorhees, assistant professor of marketing at Michigan State University and a co-author of the report.

Voorhees and his colleagues surveyed about 800 customers and employees? of restaurants, hotels, car washes and other services, and some 67 percent said they had participated in sweethearting in the past two months, according to a summary of the study. Some employees said they were motivated by the potential prospect of receiving better tips.

Voorhees said the freebies translate to $80 billion in losses for the retail industry annually.

?For some firms,? Voorhees said, ?if their employees hook up one out of 20 of their customers with completely free goods and services, this means the profitability of this employee can approach zero.?

But there is another side to the sweetheart deals: Close customer?employee relationships are key to building customer satisfaction and loyalty the researchers note.

Still, they suggest that employers do better pre-employment screening, training and supervision to limit "the potential damaging effects of deviant acts such as sweethearting,? they wrote.

It is not clear that everyone views the sweetheart deals as deviant.

?Restaurants, of course, have their own internal policies for these things, and some do allow for discretionary comped items, especially to regular customers,? said Annika Stensson, a spokeswoman for the National Restaurant Association.

For Dailakis, the deal he got motivated him to want to return to the same rental counter. ?My ego enjoyed the massage, and I enjoyed the vehicle,? he said.

Have you ever been sweethearted, or have you sweethearted customers against your boss? will? Weigh in on our Facebook page.

Zynga posts 4Q net loss on IPO-related stock costs (AP)

NEW YORK ? Online game maker Zynga Inc. reported a net loss for the last three months of 2011, weighed down by hefty stock-compensation expenses and other costs in its first quarter as a public company.

Its adjusted earnings and revenue inched past Wall Street's expectations, but that wasn't enough to lift the stock of the company that is behind the most popular games played on Facebook. Zynga's stock fell 6 percent in after-hours trading following its report.

San Francisco-based Zynga said Tuesday that it lost $435 million, or $1.22 per share, in the fourth quarter. That's down from earnings of $16.1 million, or 5 cents per share, a year earlier when it was still privately held.

Adjusted earnings were 5 cents per share in the latest quarter, surpassing Wall Street's expectations by 2 cents. This figure excludes one-time items, including $510 million in stock-compensation expenses triggered by Zynga's initial public offering of stock in mid-December.

Revenue rose 59 percent from a year earlier to $311 million as Zynga grew its user base, ad revenue and the money it makes from games such as "CityVille," "FarmVille and "Zynga Poker." On average, analysts surveyed by FactSet were expecting $302 million.

Investors may have been hoping for more. Zynga's revenue climbed just 1 percent, compared with the third quarter. In contrast, its revenue grew by double-digit percentages from one quarter to the next for the year's first three quarters.

Zynga's IPO raised $1 billon, at the time the largest IPO by a U.S. Internet company since Google's in 2004. Facebook, though, is expected to dwarf both when it goes public in the next few months. The world's largest online social network plans to raise $5 billion in an IPO that could value the company at $100 billion. In comparison, Zynga's market capitalization was about $10 billion as of Tuesday.

Zynga relies on its Facebook games for nearly all of its revenue, though it has been working on expanding to other areas, notably mobile devices. "Words With Friends," a Scrabble-like game played mainly on smartphones, is one of its best-known titles. Of the 12 games Zynga launched last year, eight were for mobile devices.

The company said it had 54 million daily active users in the fourth quarter, up 13 percent from 48 million a year earlier.

"Zynga set new records in the year in terms of audience size, revenues and bookings," CEO Mark Pincus said in a statement. "We saw great momentum in mobile and advertising and ended the year with a strong pipeline of new games."

For all of 2011, Zynga lost $404 million, or $1.40 per share, down from earnings of $27.9 million, or 11 cents per share, in 2010. Revenue nearly doubled to $1.14 billion from $597 million. The company ended the year with 2,846 workers, 92 percent more than at the end of 2010.

The company expects adjusted earnings of 24 cents to 28 cents in 2012. Analysts are forecasting earnings of 23 cents per share.

Getting no love from investors on Valentine's Day, Zynga's stock fell 77 cents, or 5.4 percent, to $13.48 after hours. It closed up 93 cents, or nearly 7 percent, at $14.35 before the earnings report.

The shares have ranged from $7.97 to $14.44 since their debut at $10 in December.
