These are trying times for teachers in dental colleges.
Before this column goes to press the right to personal liberty (Article 21 of
the constitution) of a highly respected dental teacher would have been decided
in a High Court. Until then he will remain under judicial custody for an
alleged crime of pulling up a student for indiscipline (1). Can the heads of institutions take criminal
responsibility for the unfortunate death of a student who commits suicide
because legitimate disciplinary action was taken against the person for
violation of the college rules? The tragic death of a young student is painful
but can a teacher take the rap for their emotional reaction to a legitimate
action? Several High Court and Supreme Court verdicts have laid down norms
against police harassment in these situations (2) (3) (4) (5). There are of
course instances of genuine harassment
and we will need to leave the matter to the Courts of Law to decide.
Teachers in Dental Colleges are also facing an intense
crisis with job security. In many ways it is our own doing. In the last 15
years, particularly the decade between 2001 and 2010, has seen a proliferation
of dental colleges and increase in seats far beyond the manpower requirements
in the country. Some states like Karnataka, Kerala, Tamilnadu and Maharashtra
have a dentist to patient ratio which has caused enormous unemployment in the
profession. In the initial stages this proliferation of dental colleges was a huge bonanza for dental postgraduates
due to the teaching jobs in the market . I remember many teachers defended this
abnormal proliferation. Growth has a way
of subsuming its own existence by shifting demand and supply. These Colleges
soon turned out more post graduate dentists, who in turn returned to compete
for teaching jobs. The large number of unemployed teachers created through this
growth is now threatening the existence of the old teachers in a wage war of
plummeting salaries. Now private managements are happy to hire and fire at
will, offering pathetic salaries based on market demands. Post graduates cannot
find jobs in dental colleges, unless of course more dental colleges are started.
This is fortunately not going to happen! In Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, it
is predicted that by 2020, 80% of OMF surgeons will not have teaching jobs at
the rate at which post graduates are being churned out(6)
The third major area of discomfort is for teachers in administration
as Deans and HODs. Many private managements have violated statutory provisions
related to entrance examinations, eligibility criteria and excess admissions
for monetary purposes (7). Heads of institutions sometimes have to face the
wrath of students affected by these decisions. In some instances the Principals
and HODs have also been subjected to enquiries by investigative agencies for
decisions taken by unscrupulous managements (8). The staff are usually fall
guys who have no option but to obey their paymasters!
It is needless to say that in some extreme cases teachers
mutely accept non -payment of salaries for several months. This has caused
enormous financial and social strains in the job environment.
The solution to this can only come through a broad
unionization of teaching faculty to protect their interests. The Dental Council
should also lay down service rules in the interest of teachers. A teacher's
organization will have to:
To stand up for innocent teachers in the event
of unfair actions against them.
To protect the salaries of incumbent teachers by
creating a national salary structure for all levels of teaching staff and thus
prevent under payment of staff
To create service conditions that ensures job
security and prevent arbitrary firing of teachers on specious grounds
To ensure that payment and perks are received by
the staff in accordance with service conditions.
In the absence of a system to protect the interests of
staff, dental college teachers may have to face an undignified future!

Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090173231 | Carbon canister with valve activated by weight of saturated carbon - A carbon canister with a valve activated by the weight of nearly saturated or saturated carbon communicates with piping from an underground tank. The invention includes carbon within a casing inside a canister, a weight actuated valve, and piping in communication with the atmosphere. When an ORVR vehicle refuels, the pressure lowers in the tank that draws air into the canister. After refueling, the tank remains subject to conditions that generate hydrocarbon vapors. Those vapors then return to the canister and adhere to the surface of the carbon. The carbon, heavier with hydrocarbons, lowers the canister and closes the weight actuated valve. Closing the valve returns pressure control to an external pressure vacuum relief valve. The next refueling draws in atmospheric air to purge the hydrocarbons in the canister and thus lighten it. A secondary purge valve also removes hydrocarbons from the canister. Once the carbon lightens, the inlet valve opens and the vapors return to the canister for adsorption. This cycle regenerates the carbon. | 07-09-2009 |
20120145006 | Carbon canister for vapor recovery systems - A carbon canister as utilized relative to underground fuel storage tank vapor recovery, including for the capture and purging of hydrocarbon vapors as air is introduced into and released from an underground storage tank, and wherein, in one form intended primarily for use in Stage II Vapor Recovery systems, the carbon canister includes a valve activated by weight of saturated carbon and wherein, in another form intended primarily for use in Stage I Vapor Recovery systems, the carbon canister is a free breathing carbon canister with a surge protection device. | 06-14-2012 |

Lizzie Miller
Lizzie Miller is a plus-size model who gained fame when she posed in the September 2009 issue of U.S. Glamour as part of a story about women who are comfortable with their bodies.[1]
Miller signed with Wilhelmina Models as a plus-size model at age 13.[2]
Miller created a firestorm of reactions when her picture appeared in the September 2009 issue of Glamour without any airbrushing. One roll of fat can be seen in the picture, and her picture caused a storm of letters and responses, causing Glamour to rethink their use of only skinny models.[3] Glamour claimed that it would start to feature more plus-size images starting with their November 2009 issue.[4]
Since the Glamour picture, Miller has appeared in a number of campaigns for plus size retailers. She has walked in runway shows for One Stop Plus' New York fashion week show, the Elena Miro runway shows in Milan and the Lane Bryant runway show in Las Vegas. She has been in commercials for Lane Bryant and for Elena Miro.

It took over 22 years for the first trial in the drug adulteration cases to be completed mainly because of the manipulation of the legal process and the drug regulatory body's sheer indifference.
The revelation by the Bangladesh Law Commission is a wakeup call for policymakers in a judiciary already weighed down by the huge piles of cases pending at different courts and levels for decades.
As many as 18 years and three months were spent in getting an owner and two staff members of Adflame Pharmaceuticals punished for producing tainted paracetamol syrup that caused the deaths of many children between the late 1980s and early 1990s, the commission said in a report.
The report came following the country's first-ever verdict against the Adflame drug adulterators last month.
On July 22, a Dhaka court sentenced the company's director Helena Pasha, manager Mizanur Rahman and production officer Nigendra Nath Bala to 10 years in jail for manufacturing adulterated drugs that killed 76 children in the 1990s.
The report, submitted to the law ministry on Monday, said only 10 percent of the time (about 11 months) was wasted in the trial because of legal wrangling by the defence.
Prepared by the three-member commission headed by Justice ABM Khairul Haque, the report made 16 recommendations to ease the sufferings of justice seekers.
"It is the call of the time to improve this intolerable legal crisis," reads a line in the report before offering recommendations for a judicial reform.
"Although this kind of reform cannot be made straightaway, it must be ensured that it is initiated right at this moment."
Punishment for witnesses defying summons from court, improvement in police performance in producing witnesses, witness protection and facilitating their travel to court, prioritising deposition of witnesses, and modernising the court in terms of providing alternatives to the existing practice of the judge himself writing testimonies from witnesses are some of the proposals for the reform.
Getting rid of the practice of imposing stay on case hearings unless there is really any crisis and stipulating the effectiveness of High Court stay orders by a deadline of six months are two other recommendations.
"It is necessary to maintain adequate cautionary measures in cases of a rule and a stay order coming from the High Court division," said the report, stressing the role of the chief justice in discouraging "unreasonable" rulings.
The report said the Adflame trial was a "classic example" of procrastination in case disposal.
"It is uncertain how long it may take in disposing of the trial [against Adflame] finally [through the higher court division and the appellate division]," it said.
The report said the Adflame trial should have been completed in two years after the filing of the case in 1993.
It added the HC "terribly failed" in managing cases, resulting in the long delay.
Proceedings of two other pending drug cases involving adulteration had been stayed for 18 years, following an HC stay order in 1994.
Still, it took one year for the HC order vacating the stay to reach the trial court, situated no more than a kilometre from the HC. This means 19 years were wasted in the "legal process", and it took another two years for the trial to begin.
It took 13 months for the drug court to see the Adflame case argument completed, said the report.
Citing the HC order that ended the 14-year-stay on the proceedings of the case in 2007, the report said the order bore testimony to the "utmost irresponsibility of people concerned with our judiciary".

McAuley: Town haven't produced
Roy Keane saw his side claim a remarkable 17th draw of the season on Saturday as they were held by Bristol City and McAuley knows Town have not done enough this term. He said: "We are all fighting for the football club, no-one wants to be the in the position we are in. "We haven't produced enough results, so that's when the criticism is going to come towards the players and the rest of the staff. "But we don't have sympathy with the manager, because sympathy's the wrong word. We all have respect for him and everyone wants to do well for him and push on. "It's embarrassing really, the situation that we're in, struggling at the bottom. But the fans have stuck with us and it's very much appreciated."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The United States Navy's Officer Candidate School, currently located at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island, provides training to become a commissioned officer. Attendance is one possible way for civilian college graduates (bachelor's degree or higher) with no military experience to earn a commission as a U.S. Navy officer. Additionally, the Navy also enrolls a significant number of candidates with current or prior enlisted experience in the military. In this way, OCS serves as a path to commissioned status for high-performing enlisted personnel. Alternatives include the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps, Officer Development School (ODS), and graduation from the United States Naval Academy.
MISSION; To develop civilians, enlisted, and newly commissioned personnel morally, mentally, and physically and imbue them with the highest ideals of honor, courage, and commitment in order to prepare graduates for service in the fleet as Naval Officers.
OCS classes are designated by the fiscal year of their graduation (e.g., 28-09 was the twenty-eighth class to graduate in fiscal year 2009; 01-10 was the first class to graduate in fiscal year 2010). Upon completion of the 12-week course the candidate is commissioned an Ensign (O-1) in the United States Navy (formerly in the Naval Reserve, or USNR). In previous years, Naval OCS was a 16-week curriculum.
Officer candidates are mustered in at the paygrade of E5 but hold a special title known as Officer Candidate. This title is held from the beginning of week 2 through the middle of week 9 when an Officer Candidate completes the "Victory Run" and earns the title Candidate Officer; Officer Candidates are regarded as basic recruits. As training progresses, Officer Candidates obtain more responsibility and are eventually given command authority over other Officer Candidates through use of a series of "positional ranks" denoted with small gold bars worn on the collar (typically referred to as "railroad tracks"). These positional ranks include "Regimental Commander", "Regimental Sub-Commander", "Regimental Adjutant" and other responsibilities. All positional rank assignments are competitively awarded from among the entire regiment. It is considered a significant honor to be selected to serve in any of the top leadership positions while enrolled at OCS. As training progresses over 12 weeks, individuals gradually move from Indoctrination Candidates, or "Indocs," to Officer Candidates, to Candidate Officers, or "Candios." The latter being a position of authority over less senior candidates.
Officer Candidates are assigned to battalions within a single regiment and are either quartered at Nimitz Hall or at King Hall at Naval Station Newport. Over the 12 weeks they are immersed in Leadership, Physical and Military training as well as Academics ranging from Navigation to Shipboard Engineering and Damage Control. Their every action is scrutinized and any shortcoming rigorously corrected. There is a strict Code of Honor that is expected; violators are removed.
Previously, OTCN operated out of 1940/50s-era facilities that present many shortcomings for the training and housing of students. Construction began in the spring of 2011 on an all-new Nimitz Hall to replace the aging building. Construction was completed in winter 2012-2013. Construction will soon commence on a modern King Hall.
The Navy previously operated two officer candidate programs, OCS at Newport, Rhode Island, and Aviation Officer Candidate School (AOCS) at NAS Pensacola, Florida. AOCS trained prospective Naval Aviators, Naval Flight Officers, Aviation Maintenance Duty Officers, and Air Intelligence Officers, while OCS trained all other Naval Officer communities (i.e., Surface Warfare Officers, Submarine Warfare Officers, Special Warfare (SEAL) Officers, General Line Officers, Supply Corps officers, etc.).
AOCS contained two parallel track programs, the traditional AOCS for college and university graduates that operated on a year-round basis, and the Aviation Reserve Officer Candidate (AVROC) program during the summer and early fall. AVROC, similar in nature to the Marine Corps' Platoon Leaders Class (PLC) program, split the AOCS curriculum in half, with college and university juniors attending the first half during the summer between their junior and senior years, then returning the following summer after college graduation to complete the second half of the program and receive their commissions. During the summer months, AVROC classes would typically enter every other week, with their graduations on alternating weeks from AOCS graduations. For AVROCs, the advantage of their program was that their Pay Entry Base Date (PEBD) was adjusted to the day they signed up for the AVROC program, typically two to three years before their commissioning. As a result, when they were finally commissioned, they received a higher base pay rate reflecting two to three years of service (i.e., O-1 over 2 years, O-1 over 3 years) versus their traditional non-prior service AOCS counterparts (i.e., O-1 less than 2 years). AVROCs were otherwise indiscernible from traditional AOCs.
Another subset of the traditional AOCs was the Naval Aviation Cadet (NavCad) Program. NavCads, who had some college, but typically lacked a bachelor's degree, attended their entire flight school program as non-commissioned candidates and did not receive their commissions as Ensigns until they completed flight training and received their wings as Naval Aviators or (prior to 1966) Naval Aviation Observers or (1966 and later) Naval Flight Officers. These former NavCads, commissioned officers without bachelor's degrees, would complete their initial fleet squadron tour and would then be sent to the Naval Postgraduate School or a civilian college or university as Lieutenants on their first shore duty assignment in order to finish their baccalaureate degree. AOCS stopped taking NavCad civilian and enlisted candidates in 1968 and the program was discontinued. The NavCad program was reintroduced in early 1986 due to increased fleet requirements for Aviators (Naval Flight Officers were not procurred via the later incarnation of NavCad), but was eliminated in October 1993 as a result of the end of the Cold War and resultant manpower reductions in the active duty naval officer ranks.
The original US Navy OCS at Newport, Rhode Island began operation in 1951 and was closed down in April 1994 when the programs were merged into a single AOCS at NAS Pensacola. However, in September 2007 the U.S. Navy Aviation Officer Candidate School (AOCS) in Pensacola, Florida was closed after graduation of the last AOCS candidates there. The AOCS training program was moved to Newport, Rhode Island by direction of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission of 2005. A difference in class numbering between OCS and AOCS was that AOCS classes were numbered by graduation date in the calendar year versus fiscal (for example, the first class to graduate in January would be Class 01-YY as opposed to the first class in the fiscal year (October)).
In AOCS, all basic military training was administered by enlisted drill instructors from the United States Marine Corps, a holdover from World War II and the 1950s when AOCS and NavCad graduates were still given an option of a commission as an Ensign in the Navy or a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps. This facet of the training (origin of the slogan "Navy owned, Marine Corps trained") at AOCS in Pensacola was considered a point of pride and mark of distinction by the graduates of AOCS that separated themselves from the graduates of OCS in Newport, as well as NROTC and U.S. Naval Academy graduates. When the single OCS was established in Newport, RI, the program utilizes both the Marine DIs of AOCS and Navy boot camp Recruit Division Commanders (RDC).

This whole poll sounds fishySubmitted by Guest61246 (not verified) on Thu, 08/09/2012 - 1:20pm.
This whole poll sounds fishy at best. First of all, I am as heterosexual as they come. However, I feel that the "reported" turnout to CFL the other day was for one thing and one thing only, for the Bible-thumping bumpkins to have yet another opportunity to show their ignorance and intolerance by bashing a segment of our society just for the sheer pleasure of it. It had nothing to do with freedom of speech, which was never an issue anyhow. Do you think Jesus whould have gone to CFL that day? »

Saturday, October 17
Bobby Dodd Stadium At Historic Grant Field
Attendance: None
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Quarterback Josh Nesbitt ran for 122 yards and three touchdowns as 19th-ranked Georgia Tech upended fourth-ranked Virginia Tech, 28-23, in an ACC clash at Dodd Stadium.
Nesbitt completed just one pass -- to Demaryius Thomas for 51 yards -- on seven attempts for the Yellow Jackets (6-1, 4-1 ACC), but led all rushers and recorded the game-deciding touchdown in the final minutes to give his team their fourth consecutive victory.
Jonathan Dwyer added 82 yards on the ground and Marcus Wright posted a rushing score for Georgia Tech, which hadn't bested its foe in Atlanta since November, 1990.
"Well, it seems like we have to make every game come down to the end," noted Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson. "I'm proud of our guys, especially our defense who came back and played fast, which is the way you want to see them play. We simplified for them, our defensive coaches did an outstanding job. I think they were all on the same page."
Tyrod Taylor gained 63 yards rushing with a TD and also threw for 159 yards and one touchdown on 10-of-14 completions but was picked off twice for the Hokies (5-2, 3-1), who had reeled off five straight wins after a season- opening setback to Alabama.
Ryan Williams picked up 100 yards and a score on 14 carries and caught a touchdown pass in defeat.
"I want to say this about our players; they hung in there, they battled," said Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer. "They didn't always play as well as we need to, but it wasn't lack of effort. It wasn't lack of trying."
Taylor shook off pressure and rolled 22 yards for a score with 4:52 left, but a conversion pass failed leaving Virginia Tech behind 21-16.
That set the stage for Nesbitt, who closed out a 75-yard drive with an electrifying 39-yard run for a touchdown to give Georgia Tech an insurmountable 12-point edge with three minutes to go.
The Yellow Jackets were facing a 3rd-and-7 prior to the score but the fleet- footed signal caller took matters into his own hands and tiptoed into the end zone -- a call upheld after a review to see if Nesbitt slipped out of bounds before hitting the pylon.
However, Taylor found Williams for a seven-yard TD only 1:12 later and Virginia Tech climbed back within 28-23. An onsides kick attempt fell into Yellow Jacket hands at the 40, and Nesbitt took a knee on three straight plays to run out the remainder of the clock.
"Josh is such a competitor," Johnson said of his quarterback. "All-in-all, he does what it takes to win the game."
A scoreless first quarter bled into a slow-paced second period which finally saw the Hokies break the scoreless deadlock on a 34-yard field goal from Matt Waldron with 4:01 to play in the half.
Georgia Tech got untracked on the following series, culminating with Nesbitt's one-yard keeper for a 7-3 game at the break.
Nesbitt capped the opening drive of the third quarter on another one-yard plunge for a 14-3 home advantage, then Williams broke off a 66-yard TD run to bring the Hokies within four.
An 86-yard drive followed for the home side, though, as Wright hit the end zone from 13 yards out for a 21-10 game.

With only a couple weeks left, the crunch is on for current students to complete final projects and start preparing for final exams. Your senior year, or maybe your final semester before transferring, is also moving along quickly, so before we take up any more of your studying time…
Where's Willy? With finals rapidly approaching, Willy is at the Lydia M. Olson Library. The library is open nearly 100 hours a week. Aside from books and printed materials, it provides the NMU community with more than 80,000 e-books; 34,000 e-journals; 8,800 videos and cds; more than 7,000 maps; and ARTstor, a digital library with over one million images. Good luck on your final exams, Willy!
Get the Superior Edge: All students – regardless of major, class year or grade point average -- have a unique opportunity to "learn to live a life that matters" through NMU's Superior Edge program. Participants will grow as competent, ethical and effective leaders; become engaged and involved citizens; develop a world view so they better understand and appreciate diversity; and put all that theory to practice. Sound interesting? Learn more about the Superior Edge program at www.nmu.edu/superioredge. There is no cost- except your time and initiative- to be one of the one-third of all NMU students involved in Superior Edge. Together the students have put in 600,000 hours since the program began seven years ago. Won't you join them?
Happening on Campus: Even though we are nearing the end of the semester, there has been no slow down in the number of activities on campus. Here is a quick list of recent, and upcoming, campus events:
• NMU Senior Art exhibit by graduating art and design students opened at the DeVos Art Museum. (www.nmu.edu/devos)
• "Snaptanx," a post-surgical garment for breast cancer patients, is the winner of the annual NMU Business Competition. (www.nmu.edu/business)
• A spellbinding production of "She Kills Monsters," which played at Steppenwolf in Chicago last spring, is being held at Forest Roberts Theatre. (www.nmu.edu/theater)
• The Celebration of Student Research, Creative Works, and Academic Service Learning took place last week on campus with presentations from students throughout campus. (www.nmu.edu/studentcelebration)
FYE: We talked a little bit about the First Year Experience (FYE) program in a few issues, but it deserves another mention here. The blocked classes (meaning you attend several classes with the same small group of students, so you get to know them well) and the academic advising that students receive in this program make your chances of being successful at Northern even more likely! The blocks for Fall 2014 have been posted, and, if you are admitted in good standing, you should register for one now. Learn more about the program by visiting First Year Experience.
Orientation Is Fast Approaching: For those of you who have not done so yet, signing up for orientation should quickly be moving up on your to-do list! All new students are required to attend an orientation session prior to the start of the fall semester. At orientation you will meet with academic advisers, schedule classes, finalize housing and financial obligations. Sessions are filling up fast, so don't wait to register at www.nmu.edu/welcome. Or, call us at 800-682-9797 and request a transfer to the Orientation office.

Doppler Monitor
The Doppler monitor showed two different sounds in the womb. Can you tell me what these different sounds are?
Using the Doppler machine, which looks like a small microphone, we can usually hear the heartbeat by 12 weeks. Of course, we can see it about six weeks before this with ultrasound.
To hear the baby's heartbeat with a stethoscope is usually more difficult and doesn't normally work until the third trimester.
The two different sounds that you hear on the Doppler most likely are the actual baby's heartbeat and your heartbeat, which is about half the rate of the baby's.
Also keep in mind that the sound you hear varies depending on where the doctor places the monitor. In other words, if the monitor is placed directly over the baby's heart, you will hear a cloppity-clop sound, like horse hooves. If the monitor is placed over the umbilical cord, you will hear a swoosh-swoosh sound. Both of these sounds are normal.
The only way to accurately diagnose twins is by ultrasound.

Forget their taste anytime soon
The angel enters the other angels shrine bowing, its halo a faint autumn purple.
Do you have a name? it asks the other one sitting beside a window. I mean, right now.
I dont. I dont need one right now. Do you? the other one replies, not turning towards the door. Then it adds You are welcome.
Thank you. As for the name, yes I do have one. I was asked to pass it on to you, after making sure you dont have one already.
I had quite a few recently. None now, nods the one still sitting. Do speak it to me then.
The one in the door moves in, crossing the small, bright room. It casts shadows, and theres a loose feather trailing a circle slowly behind it in the air. It is a black feather, tinted purplish by the autumn halo. When the angel reaches the other one, it leans to it and whispers something in its left ear.
No, the sitting one says, not a shadow crossing its pure face. I cannot bear that name now. I am too light for the task it implies.
The raven-winged one reaches into a pouch of its robes. Its arm loses some of its colour.
That is why I was told to bring you some of these.
What do you mean, these?
Pills. A new invention of internal affairs. Its called a depressant, and it comes in pills. It helps taking on certain names. Its effects do wear off after a while, Im told. Im not yet sure it is true, however. Giving you the name has already helped a bit, but Ill just have to see if I can forget their taste anytime soon.
