Its unusual for a dentist these days to have a private lab, but Hawks said he likes having control of the quality. The process begins after Hawks takes a casting of the patients teeth, and Scalise takes it from there. He makes a wax mold from the casting, which is covered with a compound that dries as hard as concrete after being in an oven with temperatures as high as 1,800 degrees. Dental gold is melted with a propane torch, poured into the rock-hard form and spun in a centrifuge. After being cooled in water, the result is a gold crown in the exact dimensions of the original wax model.

So far, Thompson said tests seem to rule out aspergillosis, a fungus infection that initially was thought to be the culprit. Now, Thompson said the cause could be aflatoxin, which is another fungus mold that attacks the liver and can cause cancer.

Both aspergillosis and aflatoxin come from moldy food sources, such as corn, but show different clinical symptoms, Thompson said. Many of the dead geese had an empty stomach, which shows they quit eating a day or two before death, Thompson said.

The Pioneer BDP-HD1 ( usd. 1,500 MSRP) is one of the first Blu-ray players to break out of the mold, adding network media-playing capabilities to the standard Blu-ray features. It has the ability to output Blu-ray at 24 frames per second, the frame rate at which almost all films are made. There are only a few displays that can accept this format, and its supposed to offer improved picture quality, but during our testing we found this highly anticipated feature wasnt the holy grail some videophiles were hoping for.

Companies hired to test the air quality found that the concentration of mold was well above acceptable levels, City Administrator Robert Hanna said. Last week, the City Council approved buying temporary buildings, which should arrive in about three weeks. Before employees can move into the portables, furniture and other items removed from City Hall will be sanitized.

For cleaning, City Hall will be literally torn apart. Walls, ceilings, carpets and tile must all be removed. The city, whose insurance does not cover black mold, is waiting for cost estimates.
