The Times of Israel liveblogged Sunday’s events as they unfolded.
Syrian rebels advance on Kurds in dramatic escalation of ‘Euphrates Shield’
Turkey-backed Syrian rebels seize a number of villages and towns from Kurdish-led forces in northern Syria amid Turkish airstrikes and shelling that have killed at least 35 people, mostly civilians, according to rebels and a monitoring group.
Turkey sent tanks across the border to help Syrian rebels drive the Islamic State group out of the frontier town of Jarablus last week in a dramatic escalation of its involvement in the Syrian civil war.
The operation, labeled Euphrates Shield, is also aimed at pushing back US-allied Kurdish forces. The fighting pits a NATO ally against a US-backed proxy that is the most effective ground forces battling IS in Syria.
Turkish officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
Israeli aid group building shelters for victims of Italy quake
IsraAID, the Israeli NGO dedicated to helping victims of natural disasters around the world, is aiding victims of last week’s deadly earthquake in Italy by building temporary shelter camps, distributing food and nonfood items, and providing grief counseling to families that lost relatives as well as to the Italian rescue teams, which suffer from burnout and acute stress.
A team of 20 volunteers is currently in the country, the first of whom arrived 24 hours after Wednesday’s earthquake in which nearly 300 people were killed.
IsraAID team member Mickey Noam Alon described how his team helped Gabriele Gabiza, an 82-year-old man from the town of Scai whose house was destroyed.
“Like hundreds of others, Gabiza was left stranded in the middle of the night, without shelter or a safe roof over his head. After hours of wandering through what remained of the streets, Gabiza headed to one of the community shelters that was erected within 24 hours of the quake. When I met him, he was clearly exhausted, shocked and confused…. Immediately an IsraAID team member helped him to find a place to sit, offered him a warm blanket and some water.”
At least 80 residents are now seeking safety in the community shelter, IsraAID says.
Italy’s national Jewish museum joins cultural sites donating day’s proceeds to earthquake relief
The National Museum of Italian Judaism and the Shoah in Ferrara, Italy, is one of dozens of state museums and cultural sites that will donate all proceeds from Sunday’s visitors to aid earthquake victims and rescue efforts in central Italy.
The museum, which is under development, does not yet have a permanent exhibition but announced it would donate Sunday’s entire proceeds from visitors to its temporary exhibit on the Torah.
Italy’s Culture Minister announced Thursday that Sunday’s proceeds from state-run museums and archeological sites all over the country would go to the area devastated by the quake that hit early Wednesday morning and urge Italians to visit them to show solidarity.
At least 291 people have been confirmed dead in the 6.2 magnitude temblor, which struck on Wednesday.
Shimon Peres appoints Israeli soccer star Eran Zahavi as ambassador for peace
Former president Shimon Peres appoints Israeli soccer star Eran Zahavi as “Ambassador for Peace” on Zahavi’s first trip back from China after joining the Gwangju RP China football team last month.
The honor was given “in recognition of the importance of promoting peace and tolerance through football, as well as Zahavi’s role in serving as an example and role model for hundreds of thousands of young Israeli and Chinese, Arab and Jewish children,” a statement says.
Speaking at the ceremony held at the Peres Center for Peace in Jaffa and attended by Chinese Ambassador to Israel Zhan Yongxin, Peres addressed the importance of sports to promote peace.
“Football is an international language. It does not matter if you speak Hebrew, Arabic or Chinese; everyone has a place on the court. I believe that the children here today who are playing together will lead the advancement of peace,” he said.
Turkish army says 25 Kurdish ‘terrorists’ killed in Syria strikes
The Turkish army says it has killed 25 Kurdish “terrorists” in airstrikes on Syria on the fifth day of an unprecedented operation inside the country.
It says that 25 “terrorist members” of the Turkey-based Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the Syrian Democratic Union Party (PYD) had been killed in the strikes in the area of the Syrian town of Jarabulus and five buildings used by them destroyed, according to the state run Anadolu news agency.
A monitor said earlier that Turkish shelling and airstrikes killed at least 35 Syrians, in the first reported civilian casualties in Turkey’s intensifying campaign in northern Syria.
The army said it was doing everything to avoid civilian casualties.
Nigeria’s president says Boko Haram leader ‘wounded
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari says that Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau is “wounded,” in his first comments on military claims that the jihadi leader was injured in an attack.
Nigeria’s armed forces said on Tuesday that Shekau had been wounded in an airstrike on Boko Haram’s forest stronghold, but released no further statement or evidence confirming his condition.
“We learnt that in an airstrike by the Nigeria Air Force he was wounded,” Buhari says in a statement from Nairobi, where he is attending a development conference.
“Indeed their top hierarchy and lower cadre have a problem,” Buhari said. “They are not holding any territory and they have split to small groups attacking soft targets.”
Buhari says that Shekau had been “edged out” of the group, adding credence to claims that Islamic State (IS)-appointed Abu Musab al-Barnawi was now in charge of the insurgency.
Iraq requests Saudi ambassador be changed
Iraq officially asks Saudi Arabia to recall its ambassador to Baghdad after the envoy allegedly told media outlets of a plot by Iran-backed Iraqi groups to assassinate him.
“The Iraqi foreign ministry has sent an official request to the Saudi foreign ministry to replace its ambassador to Iraq,” ministry spokesman Ahmad Jamal says in a statement.
“Several statements and opinions voiced in the media overstepped the boundaries of diplomatic protocol and of an ambassador’s duties,” he says.
Thamer al-Sabhan, whose credentials were received in January 2016, became the first Saudi ambassador to Iraq in a quarter century, after relations were cut following ex-president Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait.
US pushing for 3-way summit with Israel and PA — report
The United States is pushing for a trilateral peace summit with Israel and the Palestinian Authority, according to the Jordanian newspaper Alghad.
The report (Arabic) says that the US has invited both Israel and the PA but the Palestinian leadership has set two preconditions: Israel freeing Palestinian political prisoners and freezing settlement construction.
An unnamed PA source is quoted as saying, “We welcome any initiative to restart the diplomatic process but there are conditions that Israel needs to meet first.”
Italy lowers quake death toll back to 290
Italian authorities are revising the death toll in the country’s earthquake down by one, to 290 people killed.
Officials with the Civil Protection agency gave the 290 figure during a televised news conference Sunday.
The agency, which combines the figures it receives from different provinces affected by the quake, said the number is lower than the previous toll of 291 dead due to a correction in the numbers from the province of Rieti, where most of the victims died.
Military court begins discussing Ofek Buchris rape charges
Tel Aviv’s military court holds its first session in the trial of Ofek Buchris, the former military brigadier general accused of rape and other sexual crimes against subordinates.
The court decides that the trial will officially open on September 29.
The court session was a procedural one, in which the sides set the dates for further sessions. Buchris himself was not present at court.
Buchris officially resigned from the Israel Defense Forces in July in order to manage his legal defense as a civilian.
Buchris was indicted on charges of rape, sodomy, indecent acts and conduct unbecoming of an officer.
Iran arrests nuclear negotiator accused of spying
Iran’s official news agency is saying the country’s judiciary has confirmed the brief detention of a member of Iran’s negotiation team with world powers on suspicion of “infiltration.”
Earlier on Wednesday, hard-line news outlets said authorities detained a dual Iranian-Canadian national, Abdolrasoul Dorri Esfahani, who was a member of a parallel team working on lifting economic sanctions under one of the main negotiators for last year’s landmark nuclear deal between Iran and world powers. The Sunday report by IRNA quotes judiciary spokesman, Gholamhosein Mohseni Ejehi, as saying, “The report is correct. He was released based on bail. Yet, his charge is not proved.”
He did not elaborate.
It remains unclear why Esfahani is under investigation, though dual nationals have been increasingly targeted by security forces since the nuclear deal.
Uzbekistan president hospitalized
Uzbekistan’s cabinet of ministers says that the country’s 78-year-old leader Islam Karimov has been “hospitalized,” in a statement published by the country’s state news agency.
The statement, widely reported by local and Russian media, does not offer any details about strongman Karimov’s condition.
“According to experts, a full medical examination and follow-up treatment will take a certain time,” the statement adds.
Authoritarian leader Karimov has long been the subject of rumors of ill health that are difficult to verify, since information in the Central Asian country is very tightly controlled. He has held power in Uzbekistan since before Uzbekistan’s independence from Moscow in 1991.
Karimov has no obvious successor and the country has never held an election judged free and fair by international monitors.
Uzbekistan is a landlocked former Soviet state with over 30 million people bordering Afghanistan.
Soldier who shot unarmed Palestinian questioned under caution
An IDF soldier is being questioned under caution for shooting a Palestinian man to death on Friday after he allegedly charged at troops in a guard post near the West Bank settlement of Ofra, north of Ramallah, according to Hebrew media reports.
Preliminary reports said the suspect most likely did not pose a threat to the soldiers.
Palestinian medical officials say Silwad resident Iyad Hamad, 38, a father of three, was shot in the back. Hamad is said to have suffered from mental illness and was receiving psychiatric treatment, Hebrew media reported.
According to the IDF, troops stationed outside Silwad identified a suspect running toward them and opened fire, killing him. Initial reports Friday said the man had opened fire on the post and Israeli troops returned fire, but the IDF later said it appeared that the suspect was not armed when he approached the guard post.
Former defense minister Binyamin ‘Fuad’ Ben-Eliezer dies at 80
Former defense minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer passes away at the age of 80, according to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.
He was hospitalized last month after complications from a routine dialysis treatment.
A former Labor Party leader and presidential candidate, Ben-Eliezer has suffered from various health issues for a number of years, and in December 2014 underwent a kidney transplant. Several months later, he was hospitalized with a serious case of influenza, at which time he was hooked up to life support until his condition improved.
Ben-Eliezer, 80, who left the Knesset in 2014 after a 30-year career with Labor, was indicted in December by state prosecutors for allegedly demanding and receiving more than NIS 2 million (over $500,000) from businesspeople in exchange for actions he allegedly took as a public servant.
He was also accused of receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of foreign currency that he kept hidden and unreported in safes in his home and a bank, apparently in violation of tax laws and transparency rules for Knesset members. The funds were purportedly used to buy real estate, including an apartment in Jaffa.
In May, state prosecutors offered Ben-Eliezer a plea bargain aimed at punishing the octogenarian without forcing him to serve time in prison.
In December 2014, the politician announced he would leave politics to focus on his health and clearing his name, ending a 30-year political career.

10-year-old girl stabbed in family dispute
A 10-year-old girl was stabbed with scissors by a family relative in Neve Yaakov neighborhood in Jerusalem, according to police, who say they are not treating the incident as terrorism.
The girl was taken to hospital in moderate condition.
Two people arrested by police at the scene.
Herzog: Ben-Eliezer was a ‘brave warrior’ and ‘good friend’
Opposition head and chair of the Israeli Labor Party Isaac Herzog responds to the death of former party chair and long-time colleague Binyamin “Fuad” Ben-Eliezer.
He was “a lone kid from Iraq, a brave warrior that finished his military service as a brigadier general and went on to an impressive political career, reaching the positions of defense minister and chair of the Labor Party,” Herzog says in a statement.
“Recently, I spoke with him at length about the cloud that hung over him [regarding accusations of fraud] and he always repeated that he was innocent,” he adds.
“We say good-bye to a good friend to so many for many years.”
Edelstein: Fuad’s contribution to Israel ‘immeasurable’
Knesset speaker Yuli Edelstein responds to the death of veteran Israeli parliamentarian Binyamin “Fuad” Ben-Eliezer.
“The immense contribution of Binyamin Ben-Eliezer to Israel and its security is immeasurable,” he writes in a statement.
“Fuad dedicated the majority and best part of his life to the fortification of the Jewish people in its homeland and was an important and dominant voice in our public life for many years.”
Defense Minister: Ben-Eliezer made ‘huge contribution to the security of Israel’
Defense Minster Avigdor Liberman says Binyamin ‘Fuad’ Ben-Eliezer made a “huge contribution to the security of Israel.”
“The State of Israel and the Defense Ministry lowers its head over his passing,” he writes in a statement.
Ben-Eliezer was regarded as a fearless fighter who led Israeli troops in several campaigns, and later as the defense minister who steered the country during the restive years of the Second Intifada from 2001 to 2003, and engineering Operation Defensive Shield to crush Palestinian terrorism in the West Bank.
“Ben-Eliezer made a huge contribution to the security of the State but beyond all the grand titles, Fuad was always a good man in the fullest sense, with a smile and a friendly slap on the back,” Liberman adds.
“We will always remember him with respect and fondness.”
PM Netanyahu eulogizes Ben-Eliezer
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu releases a statement expressing condolences for the passing of former defense minister and veteran politician Binyamin ‘Fuad’ Ben-Eliezer.
“For decades, Fuad served the State of Israel as a fighter, commander public servant and senior minister,” Netanyahu says.
“In many conversations I had with Fuad, he expressed his concern and commitment to the future of this country which he loved so much.”
Russia to resume charter flights for tourists to Turkey
Russia lifts its ban on charter flights to Turkey, opening the way to a resumption of package tours that were once a major source of revenue for Turkey.
In rescinding the ban on Sunday, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said he was doing so on the orders of President Vladimir Putin.
Russia imposed the ban in November after Turkey shot down a Russian warplane at the Syrian border, an action that Putin denounced as a “treacherous stab in the back.”
After Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan apologized for the downing, he and Putin patched up relations at a meeting three weeks ago. Putin said then that charter flights to Turkey could resume “in the near future,” but added that painstaking work was still needed to revive trade and economic cooperation.
President Rivlin praises once-rival Ben-Eliezer
President Reuven Rivlin praises Ben-Eliezer for “giving his best years to defend and fortify the state.”
“In his many years as a parliamentarian and minister, he served faithfully and wholeheartedly,” the president says. “In his passing, we salute his love of Israel.”
Rivlin successfully ran against Ben-Eliezer in the 2014 election for President of Israel.
Mouse grounds Air France flight
A small rodent, probably a mouse, caused the grounding of an Air France flight from Bamako to Paris, the firm says.
It took several hours to remove the unwanted passenger from the flight bound for the French capital in the early hours of Saturday.
By the time the stowaway had been expelled, the cabin crew had reached the maximum time they are permitted to work to avoid fatigue, airline spokesman Christophe Paumier says.
The flight was delayed by 48 hours and is expected to operate later Sunday.
Mice and other rodents are a significant danger to aircraft as they have a tendency to nibble through vital cabling.
“Air France regrets the inconvenience caused by this significant delay and recalls that the safety of its passengers and its crew is its top priority,” the airline says in a statement.
Six bodies found in past 2 days in quake-hit Italian town
A spokesman for firefighters says that rescue workers have found six bodies over the past two days from the rubble of Amatrice, the hardest hit of three towns struck by the recent earthquake in Italy.
Luca Cari says three of those bodies have been recovered and three others are stuck in a place that is hard for workers to safely reach and that it will still take more time to recover them.
All the bodies were found in the rubble of Hotel Roma.
Cari says that the workers are now “clearing the pathways so that our men are safe from possible collapses.”
There are 290 confirmed deaths from Wednesday’s 6.2 quake. It wasn’t immediately clear if the newly discovered bodies are included in that official toll.
10-year-old girl in serious condition after stabbed in family dispute
Shaare Zedek Medical Center says a 10-year-old girl admitted earlier today with multiple stab wounds to the upper body is in serious condition.
She has been put into an induced coma and is being aided by a breathing machine.
She was stabbed by scissors in what police described as a family dispute. Hebrew media are reporting the attacker was the boyfriend of the girl’s mother.
Egypt seeks tougher penalties for female circumcision
Egypt’s government says it will ask parliament to approve a draft law that would increase jail terms for those who perform female circumcision.
Female circumcision, or female genital mutilation (FGM), was banned in Egypt in 2008. But the practice involving the partial or full removal of the external sex organs, ostensibly to control women’s sexuality, remains widespread, especially in rural areas.
In Egypt, the procedure is practiced by both Muslims and Christians.
Under the current law, those who practice FGM can be sentenced to jail terms of between three months and two years.
The new bill seeks those convicted of female circumcision to be jailed for between five and seven years, a statement from the prime minister’s office says.
Merkel rejects Muslim migrant ban, urges fair distribution
German Chancellor Angela Merkel slams countries in Europe who say they won’t take in Muslim refugees, a position that several eastern European governments have taken in response to the influx of migrants from the Islamic world.
Merkel says she was hopeful that European Union members would reach an agreement on outstanding questions arising from the migrant crisis, one of which is how to fairly distribute asylum-seekers among all the bloc’s 28 member states.
She told German public broadcaster ARD that “everybody has to do their bit” and didn’t rule out the possibility of letting some countries take in fewer migrants if they contribute more financially instead.
But she reiterated her stance that blocking refugees based on their religion was misguided.
“What I continue to think is wrong is that some say ‘we generally don’t want Muslims in our country, regardless of whether there’s a humanitarian need or not,'” she said. “We’re going to have to keep discussing that.”
Her comments come almost a year after Merkel’s decision to allow hundreds of thousands of migrants stuck in other European countries to come to Germany.
French environment minister announces partnerships in Iran
France’s environment minister signs a plan for French firms to help tackle Iran’s environmental problems, but criticizes the refusal of her country’s banks to work with the Islamic republic.
Segolene Royal met in Tehran with the head of Iran’s Environmental Protection Organization, Massoumeh Ebtekar, and a group of ministers, agreeing to work together on the water shortage, energy efficiency and pollution problems facing Iran.
She is travelling for three days with senior business figures from French environmental and renewable energy firms, including the boss of multinational Engie.
But both sides are aware that the refusal of major French banks to work in Iran is a huge obstacle to working together.
“It’s a real problem. It’s been raised by the Iranian ministers but also by French businesses,” she told reporters in Tehran.
“It’s completely unacceptable. We can’t ask Iran to make efforts on energy transition… while the financial system doesn’t respond, including on industrial cooperation that could help deal with energy, climate and pollution issues,” she said.
Despite international sanctions being lifted under a nuclear deal with world powers in July 2015, major banks remain fearful of working in Iran in case they fall foul of remaining US sanctions related to its human rights record and ballistic missile programme.
Moscow said planning Israel-PA summit
Russia is trying to organize a peace summit between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, according to Hebrew media reports.
Preliminary talks have reportedly taken place but no date has been set.
Palestinian sources say they will not agree to a summit until Israel freezes settlement construction in the West Bank and releases security prisoners.
“A few weeks ago, they were talking about Cairo and now they’re talking about Moscow, and perhaps in the future, they’ll talk about someplace else,” Dr. Ahmed Majdalani, an advisor to Abbas and member of the PLO’s Executive Committee, told Haaretz. “But changing the venue won’t change the Palestinian position, and there are agreements Netanyahu must fulfill, like freezing settlement construction, freeing the fourth tranche of veteran prisoners and setting a deadline for ending the occupation. Otherwise, any meeting will be superfluous and won’t lead to any progress.”
Amid speculation over a developing Egyptian bid to revive stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said last week that Russian President Vladimir Putin was willing to host Israeli and Palestinian leaders for direct talks.
Earlier today Jordanian media reported a similar effort by the US to hold a three-way summit with Israel and the PA, also rejected by Palestinian officials.
Argentine Jewish boxer Carolina Duer wins world bantamweight title on return to ring
Argentine Jewish boxer Carolina Raquel Duer won the interim International Boxing Federation’s world bantamweight title in her return to the ring after two years.
Duer, 38, nicknamed “The Turk,” knocked out Aline de Casia Scaranello of Brazil in the sixth round Friday in Quilmes, a Buenos Aires suburb. The bout was aired live by the main Argentine TV channel sport TyC, which called the knockout “spectacular” and spread a video of the victory via social media.
Duer, a former World Boxing Organization super flyweight and bantamweight champion, raised her record to 19-3 with one draw. The knockout was her sixth. She must defend the IBF crown against Chile’s Carolina Rodriguez, who is unbeaten in 15 bouts.
¡Ganó la Turca! Duer se consagró Campeona Mundial Gallo de la FIB tras vencer con este KOT https://t.co/7n2ujDmDDr
— TyC Sports (@TyCSports) August 27, 2016
Duer is the daughter of Syrian immigrants to Argentina and attended the Jaim Najman Bialik Primary School in Buenos Aires. She spent more than a month in Israel in her younger years working on a kibbutz and touring the country.
In 2010, Duer was the first Jewish woman to hold a WBO crown, which she defended six times. In 2014 she became a boxer announcer for Argentine National TV.
As an amateur, Duer won 19 of 20 fights.
Egypt frees renowned rights lawyer
Egyptian authorities release a renowned human rights lawyer arrested after protests against President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi’s decision to hand over two islands to Saudi Arabia.
Malek Adly had been held in pre-trial detention since being arrested by plainclothes police on May 5.
His defense team confirms his release.
“The case has not been referred to trial yet,” Tarek Khater, one of Adly’s lawyers says.
Adly had supported protests in April against the decision to hand over two Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia, which provoked outrage in Egypt and accusations that Sissi “sold” them in return for Saudi investments.
Police arrested dozens of activists ahead of an April 25 protest, after more than 1,000 people had chanted for “the fall of the regime” in an earlier demonstration in Cairo.
Kerry heads to Bangladesh, India amid South Asian tensions
US Secretary of State John Kerry is set to visit Bangladesh and India amid increasing concerns about terrorism in both South Asian nations.
After talks on Syria with Russian and UN officials, Kerry plans to depart Geneva this evening for meetings with Bangladeshi officials, opposition and civic leaders who are coping with a series of extremist attacks. The most recent killed 20 people, including 17 foreigners, at a popular restaurant last month in Dhaka, the capital.
The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but authorities maintain that a local banned group, Jumatul Mujahedeen Bangladesh, or JMB, was behind it.
Kerry, on his first visit to Bangladesh as secretary of state, plans to discuss counterterrorism cooperation, along with human rights and economic development. On Saturday, police said they had killed three suspected militants, including an alleged mastermind of the cafe attack. Attacks over the past two years have killed atheist bloggers, foreign aid workers and religious minorities.

Your team of Denver area orthodontists are the best at making sure you have a positive orthodontic treatment experience. But if you’re just now thinking about beginning treatment, you may be nervous about getting braces or Invisalign aligners and wonder if there is any pain involved in the process. We want to be as up front as possible in letting you know exactly what you will experience when you visit our Aurora, Arvada or Thornton offices for braces treatment.
Getting Your Braces On
Your appointment to put on your new braces is fast and completely pain-free. First, your teeth will be conditioned, rinsed, dried, and sealed - a totally painless procedure - to prepare your teeth for braces (or brackets.) Our orthodontic specialists are skilled at creating an advance plan to cement your brackets in exactly the precise place for the most successful treatment. Although it may take up to two hours to cement your brackets in place, there is no discomfort as your orthodontist will simply use a dental cement on each tooth and stick your bracket in place. When the rings on your back teeth are put in place, you may feel a slight pressure, but it is usually controlled by you as you bite down on a stick to push those in place. After the brackets are cemented, your orthodontist will set the archwire into brackets and then use ligatures (tiny colored O-rings or thin wires) to attach the archwire to the brackets. This might produce a slight pressure.
After First Getting Your Braces On
While your time at our Aurora orthodontist office should be pain-free, the next few hours and over the following few days you may experience some discomfort from your new orthodontic appliance. When you exercise muscles that are not used to the workout, those muscles tend to react with some pain and discomfort. That’s the same type of discomfort your teeth, gums and jaws may produce following getting your braces. The archwire installed will begin to put pressure on your mouth as it attempts to begin moving your teeth and jaws into place. You may experience some tenderness when you bite or chew and possibly a slight headache. Our Denver area orthodontists recommend eating soft foods during this time and taking over-the-counter ibuprofen. Most of our patients say that the discomfort is more annoying than painful, but if you feel extreme pain or think your pain is unusual, don’t hesitate to contact our office
Rubbing Cheeks and Lips
At the very beginning of your braces treatment, your mouth will need to get used to the new structures that are on your teeth. During this time, your brackets may rub the inside of your cheeks and lips. To assist you, your orthodontist will give you wax to cover the part of the bracket that may be a problem. Once your mouth becomes accustomed to your braces, you will not need to use the wax and you should not have any discomfort from rubbing braces.
Orthodontist Visits to Adjust or Tighten Your Braces
During your braces treatment, you will make regular visits to the Thornton orthodontist office every six to eight weeks for adjustments, sometimes called tightening, of your braces. At this time, your orthodontist will change and/or adjust your archwire to continue putting pressure on your teeth to move into place. Following these visits, you may experience discomfort and tenderness. Similar to when you first received your braces, we recommend soft foods, but this discomfort shouldn’t last more than 24 to 48 hours. Regardless of whether you are wearing metal or ceramic braces, or using Invisalign clear aligners, anytime your teeth are pressured to move, you may experience some initial discomfort.
Getting Braces Off
Just like when you got your braces ON, getting them off doesn’t hurt at all. We remove your brackets using debonding pliers that pop off the brackets without any pain. Then, we polish off the glue that feels like a tickling vibration to reveal your slick, straight, beautiful smile. Once you arrange for your retainer, you’ll be on your way to show off your new look!
Still Concerned? Give All About Braces A Call Today!
Our All About Braces orthodontic team wants to answer any concerns you have about your braces treatment. Just give one of our convenient Denver area locations a call. We can explain the exact procedure you will experience, show you how to use braces wax, ease your fears. We promise that for the majority of time you wear your braces you will not even remember you have them on. Whether you’re still wondering why you should get braces, or you’re ready to get started on the journey to the smile you’ve always dreamed of, use our online appointment form to schedule your first free consultation. We look forward to you joining our family of smiles.

The administration of the Indonesian city of Bekasi has launched an ambitious Smart City programme with the establishment of a command centre including real-time parking records and use of public monitoring application Qlue.
Amid criticism that the municipality should be spending resources on poverty and child malnutrition, Mayor Rahmat Effendi went ahead with the use of IT platform in three locations that has actually increased municipal revenues from parking.
“Before the introduction of real-time parking records, we only received around Rp 6 million [US$456] a day, but since the system has been applied, we receive Rp 347 million a month,” he said.
However, there are still a number of obstacles to the introduction of a wider Smart City program, the main obstacle being the mindset of officials.
Bekasi is among the satellite municipalities of Greater Jakarta that wants to be part of Smart City initiatives using the Qlue app to more effectively register and address residents’ complaints .
Qlue application is free for use by local authorities. “Costs will emerge if the app is layered with other dashboards, he said.

Through your donations we can proceed to complement the local people within the area’s of tradition, schooling, gerontology and ladies’s issues. Teaching is likely one of the most popular occupations amongst Japanese girls. The number of feminine lecturers is particularly high in preschool education, with over ninety% of kindergarten lecturers being feminine. The greater the extent of education, the smaller the number of females among lecturers. While over 60% of grade college academics are females, the proportion of female faculty members at schools and universities is only 20%. This consists of many women who educate at girls’s schools and junior schools. They are additionally caregivers and home helpers who work with the handicapped and the aged.
More than 40 percent of part-time working women earn ¥1 million ($9,100) or less a year, in accordance with Japan’s Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry. The lack of advantages, job safety and opportunity for development — hallmarks of full-time employment in Japan — make such girls financially susceptible, significantly in the event that they don’t have a companion to share expenses with. According to government data, the monthly cost of dwelling for a Japanese family with more than two people is ¥287,315 ($2,650). Some 15.7 p.c of Japanese households live beneath the poverty line, which is about $937 per thirty days. “I had no need to work whereas taking care of my kid,” she said in an interview. Instead, Nakajima spent a decade raising two youngsters before returning to work.
But inside that scope of translated literature, it’s feminine Japanese authors who show to be the writers that transfer and inspire and challenge me essentially the most as a reader. Today, the best Japanese novels are all penned by extraordinarily talented ladies.
Some Japanese ladies of their 20s appear to have started in junior highschool, whereas those in their 30s and 40s were cut up of their solutions. However, nobody wore make-up every day during their elementary and junior highschool days. “Why are international ladies persevering with to be pressured into prostitution in Japan?”. The proportion meet japanese women of births to unmarried women in selected nations, 1980 and 2007. As could be seen in the determine, Japan has not followed the pattern of different Western international locations of youngsters born exterior of marriage to the identical diploma.
We should also bear in the mind the very sensible level that given the declining population and the low birth rate, the Japanese economic system needs extra employees. Women are being called to the office as a result of there isn’t a one else to ask, for the government has been reluctant to allow large-scale immigration, although some current developments suggest this policy might change in the near future. Piece together animated jigsaw puzzles of lovely girls from Japan wearing conventional attire.
What Most people are Saying About Japanese Women Is Dead Wrong And Why
After a sexism row sparked by Tokyo Olympics chief’s saying ladies talked an excessive amount of at conferences, Japan’s ruling party wants women at key meetings — however only if they don’t discuss. Yoshiro Mori, the top of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic organizing committee, resigned final week after derogatory feedback about girls talking too much at conferences and making them too lengthy triggered backlash at residence and abroad. Those female observers cannot speak through the conferences, but can submit opinions separately to the secretariat office, the every day newspaper Nikkei reported. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party has proposed a new plan that allows 5 female lawmakers to join the party’s key conferences as observers.

She imagines that after he retires and is round the home all day, he’ll do little greater than sit back and give orders, and she is going to lose no matter freedom and autonomy she has. Incidentally, Japanese girls have referred to as the “ineffective” retired husband nure ochiba, meaning moist fallen leaf, an expression that evokes a picture of a busy spouse attempting to brush her bothersome husband away, solely to have him cling to her broom. Marriage used to be a necessity for women to survive however right now it has clearly turn into an choice, and the person has the liberty to choose whether to marry or stay single. For the commenters unable to see the forest for the trees, the bigger story here is the economic system as a whole, which has seen a dramatic improve in low-paying, non-regular jobs over the previous 20 years. What is true of the younger women in the article can also be the case for growing numbers of Japanese employees, no matter age. The same race-to-the-bottom situations likewise apply to many English teaching positions and different kinds of employment for expats. I do not know why @JJ Jetplane gets so many downvotes, as countless studies show every thing they are saying.
These males share as a lot as potential within the domestic duties . They find nothing uncommon or unsettling about having a feminine boss or female colleagues. Why are these managers having such a tough time determining what their women staff want? One of the explanations I assume derives from issues in communication. First of all, there is a basic tendency for Japanese to not express their views clearly and verbally.
It is a beautifully written, elegantly translated brief novel a few lady’s rediscovering of herself and her environment after she leaves her husband and takes her two-year-old together with her. Kawakami is an author whose writing is commonly filled with hope and love.
But to work those kind of hours means less time for kids, which is normally the purpose of working half-time in the first place. Machiko Nakajima’s employment trajectory is typical of this state of affairs. Nakajima, who used to work full time at a tourism company, left her place at age 31 when she turned pregnant. With entitlement prices skyrocketing, the federal government has responded by scaling back benefits while proposing to raise the retirement age. Some Japanese responded by transferring money out of low-curiosity financial institution accounts and into 401-fashion retirement plans, hoping funding features might soften the blow. But such a technique requires financial savings, and women in Japan are less prone to have any.
According to Seiichi Inagaki, a professor at the International University of Health and Welfare, the poverty rate for older Japanese women will more than double over the following 40 years, to 25%. Also making the rounds on social media had been comments by Kengo Sakurada, head of a robust Japanese business foyer, who said Japan’s glass ceiling was “partly ladies’s fault.” This week, a bunch of feminine lawmakers at the Liberal Democratic Party asked Nikai to increase the ratio of ladies in key posts at the get together. Japan is ranked 121st out of 153 nations on the World Economic Forum’s 2020 Global Gender Gap Index — the worst ranking gap among superior nations — scoring poorly on girls’s economic participation and political empowerment.
That’s why Mr Mori’s feedback did not surprise me, and the governing celebration’s choice to permit non-speaking ladies to attend their meetings is a tactic we’re acquainted with. As a Japanese woman, informal sexism is what I sadly got used to over time. It could occur at business conferences, work drinks or household gatherings. At those moments, many of us just snort, pretend we did not hear it and move on. Currently simply 46 of 465 politicians in Japan’s Shugiin or House of Representatives are women – that is about 10%, in comparison with 25% international common.
The Dirty Truth on Japanese Girl
Born in Osaka, Tsumura quit her first job earlier than having worked there for even a yr. It’s a book which tackles monumental themes of individuality, happiness, satisfaction, capitalism, wealth, womanhood, feminism, accountability, and extra.
According to the White Paper on Leisure Activities which got here out recently, fifty two.2% of male respondents of a survey claimed that they by no means take part in household chores. Men of their 30s showed the best participation fee at 57.2% and the chore they do most is “take out the garbage,” leaving the bulk of family chores and childcare as well as aged care upon the shoulders of women. The burden of household chores additionally serves to discourage girls from giving delivery. Japanese women, extra highly educated and extra financially independent than ever before, are additionally looking for new calls for from the connection with their husbands. They want to keep up their freedom and autonomy even after wedlock. This, mixed with the prolonged life expectancy, has seen the divorce fee begin to rise in Japan. This pattern shows that women are less willing to place up with a wedding they find insupportable.

Music seen at Slainte, July 12, 2008
With side projects, you always learn a thing or two about the scope of the musician’s interests and influences. At Slainte on Saturday two members of two of Portland’s most popular rock acts shared with a full house their latest musical endeavors. And, as we had hoped, there were some surprises.
Daro (led by Cambiata guitarist Sean Morin) are a five-piece ensemble that could be one of Portland's most interesting new acts. They blend contemplative alt-country with an atmospheric openness. Morin's voice has a wide range but is always soft and even sometimes calming. They do go big sometimes, but like Morin’s lyrics, the grander aspects of the band are always controlled and down to earth.
Why Hello performed acoustically, in a solo performance by frontman Billy Libby. Libby has a golden voice and a knack for writing a perfect pop song. Sometimes like the Shins, sometimes like The Format, Billy sang his big lovable heart out. His lyrics stick to the theme of romance, but he sneaks in a bit of wit and cynicism that gives his songs a more playful voice. If you want a well-performed drama, pull home aside and ask him to sing you Aladdin’s "A Whole New World." It’s flawless.

When buying or selling real estate, we have all heard the longtime real estate mantra of “location, location, location”, and today more than ever, this stands to be so true.
Hi, I’m Tanja Odzak, Our East Bay Home brokered by eXp Realty.
During the last couple of years during the pandemic, there was a national frenzy to purchase real estate as buyers spent thousands of dollars on homes just about everywhere. This created multiple offer scenarios and drove real estate prices up around the country.
However, today there doesn’t seem to be a national housing market but rather a very regionalized market with different scenarios happening around the country. As mortgage rates continue to increase some markets are experiencing a slowdown while others are heating up. Home prices are accelerating in some areas while other markets are seeing a decrease. Bidding wars in one neighborhood may not be happening in another nearby.
The real estate market is all about location. But why is that? According to Ali Wolf, chief economist with Zonda says, “Since interest rates have risen, inflation is higher and there is economic uncertainty, we’re reverting back to very localized housing markets. There is no national housing market as every single city and street has its unique housing market.” And this is definitely true of the San Francisco East Bay!
Of course with all this being said, there is still one big caveat, the low supply of housing has buyers still willing to pay a premium for move-in ready homes in communities with good schools and near big cities.
If you are planning to enter the housing market and are feeling a bit confused about what is going on, it is best to consult an experienced real estate team. Feel free to connect with me so I can guide you through this important decision.
And if you’re someone that needs to sell a home, ask me about my home selling plans where you get to pick which real estate services you want and the fee you pay… Most of the them include my super duper digital marketing that… no one else does in our area. I’m Tanja and I sell homes. I offer simplified and transparent choices!
I’m a Top Producing Realtor® in the OAKLAND / BERKELEY / EAST BAY AREA. I’ve been in the San Francisco East Bay Area since I came up to do my undergrad at UC Berkeley (a long time ago!), with a short stint at UC Davis while getting my Master’s. I take my duties as a Realtor® and Fiduciary very seriously, I enjoy educating my sellers and buyers along the way. Putting People, Before Profit.

Kenosha Blasts Rockford 13-3
The Kenosha Kingfish hit a home run cycle and blew out the Rockford Rivets 13-3 at Historic Simmons Field on pride night Thursday night.
With the win, the Kingfish extended their win streak to three games while denying the Rivets’ opportunity to win three straight.
Kenosha put up a pair of homers in the first inning to get the scoring started. Parker Stinson hit a solo shot to lead off the game for his third blast on the year, and Brady Counsell hit his second slam of the year to send Jacob Tobias home. This made the game 3-0 early on.
Tobias extended the early Kingfish lead to 4-0 in the third frame with a double in the right-center gap that sent James McCoy home.
Northwoods League RBI leader Matthew Mebane hit a solo shot for his fifth RBI of the year in the top of the fourth frame to make the game 4-1. Tobias responded with a bases-clearing three-run homer to send McCoy and Stinson home. This extended the Kenosha lead to 7-1.
Mebane responded on the Rivets’ behalf once again, as he hit an RBI-double that plated Ty Crittenberger in the sixth frame to make it a 7-2 contest.
Kenosha tacked on another run to make it 8-2 via a sacrifice fly off the bat of Drake Westcott that scored Stinson.
Rockford dug into the lead once again when Brody Harding hit Crittenberger home on an RBI-single to draw it back to an 8-3 game.
The Kingfish busted the game wide open in the eighth inning. Drake Varnado kicked off the inning’s scoring with an RBI pinch-hit single that scored McCoy. Gage Williams provided an explanation point when he completed the team’s home run cycle with a grand slam that scored Westcott, Counsell and Varnado.
Jacob Tobias led the hot Kenosha bats, as he went 3-for-4 with his three-run blast, four RBIs and two runs scored.
Matthew Mebane showed out for the Rivets, as he went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs on the day.
Jacob Gehring (3-0) gave up two runs and three hits on four frames with a pair of strikeouts to get the win.
Tanner Knight (1-1) took his first loss on the season after giving up four runs on five hits while fanning one batter in three innings of work.
Kenosha will wrap up their commuter series against Rockford on June 24 with a first pitch at 6:05 p.m.

Selling brands while staying “authentic”: Instagram influencers’ negotiation of the imagined audience
This paper investigates the position of Instagram influencers within the new media landscape. These influencers started out as ordinary people documenting their everyday life through a stream of photographs (Abidin, 2016b; De Veirman, Cauberghe, & Hudders, 2017). However, they are increasingly emerging as an intermediary between advertisers and consumers. This leads to tensions, as influencers find themselves in a position where they need to present an authentic and trustworthy version of themselves to their audience, while also keeping in mind the demands of the advertisers that they wish to work with. Furthermore, these relationships do not take place in a void, rather they are mediated by the platform Instagram, which, as a corporate entity, shapes the behaviour of its users. This study shows how Instagram influencers negotiate the relationship with their audience, advertisers and the platform Instagram itself, using data from 11 interviews with travel influencers, combined with a visual and textual content analysis of their twelve most recent Instagram posts (N = 132). The paper suggests that, in negotiating their newly professionalised position within the media landscape, these influencers need to present themselves as authentic whilst creating content that meets the standards of their imagined audience. On the one hand, they adopt a range of personalisation strategies to interact with the audience, while on the other hand the content which the social media influencer produces is becoming increasingly standardised. Thus, these influencers carefully curate their self-presentation in order to build a loyal audience that is attractive to advertisers.

According to a study conducted by Small Biz Report, 43% of companies actually lack the proper cyber security training that should be offered to their employees. This is a problem due to approximately 70% of business centers moving to a cloud computing system. A cybersecurity team should be at the forefront of any potential threats to your company’s electronic systems, which is why this type of training is a key point in enhanced business safety and productivity.
- Yahoo is paying for a class action lawsuit which compromised the information of 3 billion users.
- Over a third of businesses lack any kind of regular cyber security training.
- The weekly news and information roundup includes information on cyber security.
“It goes without saying, the issue of cybersecurity is an ongoing problem that will be around as long as the Internet exists.”

I’m not sure about you, but I’m ready for Summer. Actually, I’ll just be happy when Spring gets here. My family has been sick since right after Christmas, and it seems like we’ve been stuck inside for a lifetime. I just took my daughter back to the doctor last week for the
9384093285098th 4th time and she has Bronchitis and an ear infection. Oh joy! Needless to say, no one wants to come out to play with the sickly people because they’re brats really smart and don’t want the same thing too, so we’ve been forced to entertain ourselves at home.
Yesterday I decided that my daughter and I would work on some Valentine’s crafts. Actually, my daughter kind of decided that when she went into one of my craft drawers and pulled out some sequins and started handing them to me. Making Valentine’s crafts was a great way for me to spend some time with my daughter and feel better about our
crappy unfortunate situation. I had everything on hand except for regular non-toxic glue, so I decided to whip up some of my own and then we were set to craft. See below for the homemade glue recipe.
Here’s what we came up with:
How To Make Your Own:
Things you will need:
- Sequins (because it’s easier to clean than glitter)
- Empty baggy
I decided to make my own hearts out of some printer paper since that’s what I had on hand. If you want them to be even more durable, you can use stock paper or something thicker. I drew one side of the heart and it looked really good, so instead of goofing up the other side, I decided to fold the paper in half to get a symmetrical heart! After cutting out the first heart, I traced a few more of my original on other open spaces of the paper. (Obviously if you have older children you trust with scissors, they can do the cutting for you).
After getting our hearts cut out, we were ready to craft. If you have school glue or glue sticks available, you’re ready to get going. We didn’t have any sort of glue that didn’t guarantee us to glue our hands together in the house, so I decided to whip up some of my own before starting the rest of the project! The best part about this is that it’s truly non toxic and totally edible, so you can feel good about your child using it (not that you would want to eat it, my daughter can vouch that it doesn’t taste that great. lol).
I decided to pour a tiny bit of the glue in a random baggy I had laying around and I cut a tiny bit of the corner off. By doing this, it let my daughter squeeze out her own glue, but not too much of it. I honestly let my daughter have at it, letting her smear her glue onto the paper (she was a little taken back at first and didn’t know what to think, then it was all fun and games). I even let her sprinkle her own sequins on her paper. I guess she didn’t really sprinkle them. She dumped them out and the placed them on one by one. LOL! Needless to say, it was a hit! I plan on stringing our finished projects up with some dental floss and putting them up on the fridge! It’s never too early to teach your little one to be an artist!
Homemade Glue Recipe:
- 1 Cup flour
- 1 1/2 Cup water
- 1/3 Cup sugar
- 1 Teaspoon vinegar
In a pot, mix the flour and sugar. Add half of the water and mix until it forms a smooth thick paste.
Add the rest of the water and continue to mix until smooth.
Pour in the vinegar and put on medium-low heat until mixture starts to thicken. This will happen very quickly, so I recommend keeping a close eye on it and stirring non stop. If you start to see clumps, remove from heat and mash them up and continue to stir. After your mixture has thickened, cool and place in an airtight container. I used an old jelly jar. :)
|This is what half of the above batch amounts to.|
This glue is much more thin than Elmer’s or something of the sort, and will take a little longer to dry but works well. Also, any unused portion can be refrigerated to prolong it’s life as the vinegar will help naturally preserve it. If you do not want to end up with a lot of leftovers, you can divide this recipe in half, as I did.
Happy Crafting! :)
Thanks to sustainableecho for the homemade glue recipe.


Sounding forth from a resonating body, the music of Six Organs of Admittance seems to reach us from an ancient remove. Ben Chasny's 6OOA vehicle is a wide-ranging craft, spanning over a dozen albums whose gaze is always shifting, but whose focus never wavers. With Hexadic II, Ben Chasny's unique touch on acoustic guitar is brought back to our ears after what feels like a kind of forever. What may identify to some ears as folk music is caught in an equally compelling undertow of powerful subterranean energy.
Hexadic II is ultimately what the listener hears it to be - a darkly spiritual listen, filtered through their ears and their perceptions and choices. As ever, Chasny has a head-full of ideas that are driving him; Hexadic II simultaneously explores the same charts and paths that gave birth to its predecessor, while creating music of a totally different order. The Hexadic II songs have direct correlates to the Hexadic songs, yet are much more than mere acoustic versions. "Exultation Wave", for example, simmers with an undercurrent of ethereal transcendence, the strings bending under the virtue of Ben's voice. Think of them as distant cousins to the songs on Hexadic, obsessed with greek choir, the desert, and the sea.
Simultaneously more inviting and challenging than Hexadic I, Hexadic II is a powerful musical journey into the enigma of interpretation and inspiration; begin the journey on November 20th!

"There were around 50 houses burnt. There was about 1000 people who came from the Comoro market area and Lurumata," Marito, a 46-year-old resident of the Comoro neighbourhood where gang battles raged earlier this year, said.However, a Portuguese policeman who declined to give his name said only a handful of houses had been burnt, saying: "Only four to five houses were burnt this morning, so maybe there were 10 houses burnt since yesterday."
Hundreds of houses in Dili have been unoccupied since May when 150,000 people fled to refugee . . . .

Question from California, USA:
I am in my 38th week of pregnancy and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 29 weeks. I have been keeping my numbers between 110 and 130 1 hour after meals with diet and exercise. My fasting sugar is between 70 and 85. For the last week my 1 hour after meal numbers have been quite a bit lower, ranging from 98 to 112. My fastings are about the same. Does this have something to do with placental hormones towards the end of pregnancy? I have not change my routine at all, so I am trying to figure out why my numbers have decreased like they have. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
I have seen this happen before. I am not sure, but I think that insulin resistance might decrease towards the end of pregnancy due to less production of the hormones that cause the insulin resistance in the first place. I am really speculating about this however.

A good day gone bad for Michael Shank Racing at Laguna Seca
(Monterey, CA) 7 May 06-- With less than thirty laps to go in the U.S. Sports Car Invitational, things were going exactly according to plan for Michael Shank Racing, as Oswaldo Negri led the field in the Flight Options Lexus/Riley, and the sister Mears Motor Coach of Antoine Bessette and Mike Borkowski also ran firmly in the top ten.
However, when the fifth full course caution period of the race was called, the Flight Options machine was already heading full speed into turn one as the pace car began to roll from pit lane.
The Grand Am officials declared that Negri was to blame for the pace car not catching him as he led the field, and penalized the team by sending it to the back of the pack, meaning that the leading car was demoted some eighteen positions and out of contention for the podium or a possible win.
"It's really disappointing," said team owner Mike Shank. "Both cars were obviously very competitive today, and to have it all thrown away by a tough call by the officials is very frustrating."
Mark Patterson started the race from the front row after Negri scored second in Saturday's qualifying race, and the South African kept the pace and in the lead pack despite not getting off to an ideal start.
"I'm not sure why the pole sitter had us basically at a walking pace at the start, but it didn't help us out at all because the car in third was already ahead of me before I even made it into the first turn," said Patterson. "But once everything settled down, I was able to stay in the lead group no problem and I was really having a ball out there because the car was just handling beautifully."
The Mears Motor Coach car of Antoine Bessette and Mike Borkowski started from tenth on the grid as Bessette made his first Rolex Sports Car Series start, holding station at the start before making inroads to the lead pack, including pulling off an impressive outside pass in turn ten.
"Antoine did a fantastic job," said Shank. "He was patient when he needed to be, and then when he got his chances, he took them. Very smart in the car, and a great pace, so we were really excited about his run."
Shank wasn't alone in his excitement.
"This is fun," were the first words out of Bessette's mouth after turning the car over to Borkowski. "You have to be very careful out there because you are running very close with the other cars, but you can't mistake that for a chance to pass just because you are close-you really have to set up a pass to do it cleanly in the traffic. It was also different for me because I had to keep in mind saving the car a little bit for Mike (Borkowski), so it was a different challenge than running in formula cars, and I really can't wait to race again soon."
Borkowski and Negri both took over the controls during a caution period thirty laps into the event, and the two charged up the order from twentieth and twenty-first, with Negri clearing his way to the lead by lap sixty before the problem with the pace car.
"It's a shame to be officiated out of a win like that," said Patterson. "Clearly Oz was in control of the race, so to have all this work taken away is very disappointing."
Negri, who has four Rolex podiums to his credit but is still chasing his first win in the category, was equally frustrated by the turn of events.
"I don't understand it at all," said a mystified Negri. "It completely ruined our race and a chance at a win today. The car was perfect, the crew did a great job, and I know we would have been strong at the end, but I guess it just wasn't our day today."
Borkowski was also dealt his share of bad luck, as a competitor crashed into him late in the race, sending him off-track. Making matters worse for the team, Negri was coming back from the penalty and had to go off-track to avoid Borkowski's car.
"I guess Valiante wasn't happy just sending the Ganassi car into the gravel trap, and wanted to do the same to me," said Borkowski. "Maybe he just didn't like that I'd passed him, I don't know, but he just crashed right into me. And poor Oz (Negri) was right behind us and he had to go off track to make sure I didn't hit him."
Both cars resumed racing, and charged to the finish, as Negri came up just two feet shy of a top-ten finish, with Borkowski coming home an unlucky thirteenth.
The team will once again get the chance for a strong result in less than one week, as the Gainsco Grand Prix will be staged on Saturday night at Phoenix International Raceway. The team led the race convincingly last season, and will be looking to exact a measure of revenge at the track that owes them one next week.
