John Kerry as secretary of State: expect a more traditional style (+video)
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, with her late-night dancing and talks with children, was known for her 'people to people' style. John Kerry is expected to adopt a more traditional version of diplomacy.

When Sen. John Kerry (D) of Massachusetts replaces Secretary Clinton as secretary of State ? the job that President Obama nominated Senator Kerry for on Friday ? expect the tone set by America?s top diplomat to change. In an era when being secretary of State is increasingly about style as much as substance, many foreign-policy experts say, the five-term senator and quiet policy negotiator is expected by many to return the office to a more traditional version of diplomacy.
In announcing his selection of Kerry, Mr. Obama said that, as the son of a Foreign Service officer and the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who is well known and ?respected? by dozens of world leaders, Kerry ?is not going to need a lot of on-the-job training.? Kerry still must win Senate confirmation, but he is not expected to encounter much resistance, with key senators like John McCain (R) of Arizona already referring to him as ?Mr. Secretary.?
While international experts equate Clinton with ?people to people? diplomacy, some cite another ?P? word for Kerry ? patrician. But they add that, in the world?s diplomatic circles, that won?t necessarily be a drawback.
Kerry may be known for a certain ?aloofness,? but ?it?s not particularly germane to being secretary of State if you?re seen as the type who has beers with the guys at the local tavern or you?re seen as patrician,? says James Dobbins, director of the International Security and Defense Policy Center at the RAND Corp. in Arlington, Va., and a former US envoy to Afghanistan.
?In fact in international terms, being seen as a patrician is not a disadvantage,? he adds. ?A dignified person with some or substantial familiarity with the elites of the world is not at a disadvantage at all.?
Some foreign-policy experts with diplomatic experience say Kerry is ?the right man at the right time? because the tough international issues he?ll face ? ranging from Iran?s nuclear program to Syria?s civil war and a rising China ? require a serious ?issues person? who can hit the ground running.

Brooklyn, NY Periodontist, Dr. Navid Baradarian Works To Stop the Progress of Gum Disease With New Laser Gum Disease Treatment
Navid Baradarian, DDS, stops the progress of gum disease by utilizing the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure. This new dental procedure is not considered very invasive and aids in the reduction of gum recession.
Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) December 21, 2012
Dr. Navid Baradarian of Marine Park Periodontics & Implantology and Central Park Periodontics performs the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure as a method of gum disease treatment for his patients. This new technology provides the dental facility with a less invasive method of treatment that greatly reduces discomfort or pain as well as patient down time.LANAP is performed with a specialized laser, the PerioLase MVP-7, which is highly selective. It is actually capable of disintegrating the infected gum tissue and killing off the bacteria that cause the disease while at the same time leaving the healthy gum and bone tissue intact. Since only the diseased gums are removed, recession is much less than with the traditional method of cutting away the gums with a scalpel.
This dental procedure begins with the dentist probing the depth of the periodontal pockets so that the majority of the bacteria can be removed. The laser is used to kill the bacteria. It also promotes clotting so the healthy tissue can seal against the teeth roots. One other very important benefit of using the laser is that it stimulates bone regeneration.
Although there are millions of people who have gum disease, many of them do not seek treatment. The new LANAP procedure should encourage those who have been unsure of their treatment options to be more willing to get the treatment they really need. In addition to the dental health problems connected to the disease, it has been linked to a number of serious ailments such as diabetes and heart issues.

trading between now and yearend ? PRACTICAL STOCK INVESTING
Practically speaking, 2012 is already in the books for investment professionals around the world. ?Many are already on vacation. ?Many global stock markets will be closed for most of the handful of business days between now and December 31st?Wall Street being a notable exception. ?On days that markets will be open, trading volume will doubtless be very light.
Is there anything useful we can do as individual investors during this deadest of all trading weeks? ? ? ?other than celebrating the holidays and resting up for the challenges of 2013, that is.
Yes, there is.
1. ?If you haven?t done so already, check the year-to-date tax position in your brokerage account. ?You may want to consider either selling losers to minimize taxable gains or winners to lessen realized losses.
I believe very strongly that transactions driven solely by taxes are invariably a bad thing. ?But I also think that tax considerations can be a useful way of overcoming one?s psychological aversion to admitting a mistake (every rookie professional?s biggest stumbling block) and thereby be an excuse for exiting a bad investment. ?Yes, it would be better to man up and just sell the loser, without rationalization. ?But the most important thing is getting the weak stock gone.
2. ?the ?window dressing? phenomenon. ?I guess there really are professional portfolio managers?most of them soon to hit the unemployment line?who buy trendy stocks to ?dress up? their portfolios so they?ll be cosmetically more attractive right before meeting with their customers. ?And there may be financially illiterate customers who are fooled by this. ?But that?s not really what I?m talking about.
There?s also a type of illegal stock manipulation of small-cap stocks on the next-to-last or last trading day of the year that is euphemistically called window dressing. ? The stock ?magically? rises (or falls, if a short-seller is at work) ten or fifteen percent, often in the last half hour of trading?in a way that helps a manager, or group of managers, achieve a higher performance-based bonus. ?Nowadays, this most often happens in smaller markets in the EU or in the Pacific. ?But it also happens in the US on occasion.
In my experience, this is always a good chance to sell. ?The stock in question invariably crashes back to earth the first day of the new year.
3. ?the fiscal cliff. ?As I?m writing this, the S&P 500 futures are down about 1.5% on worries that Washington won?t reach an agreement to soften the economic damage from already legislated tax increases and government spending cuts slated to go into effect on January 1st.
It?s possible that politicians are even hoping for a 5%-10% stock market decline to give them the political ?cover? they feel they need in order to justify compromise to the ir constituents.
In my view, 1.5% isn?t enough to act on, but a larger decline would doubtless an excellent opportunity to buy a stock you want to own, but think is too expensive?or to add to a position you have strong conviction in but think is too small.
