In July 2011, Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced the creation of the Supportive School Discipline Initiative. The collaboration is aimed at targeting school disciplinary policies and practices that push youth out of school and many times into the justice system, also known as the school-to-prison pipeline. The importance of continued commitment to reforming our Nation's school discipline practices was most recently underscored in The White House's January 2013 plan to protect children and communities and its call to identify and share best practices on school discipline policies and equitable implementation.[1]
To increase awareness and understanding of the issues around school discipline and provide practical examples of policies and practices that maintain school and classroom safety while ensuring academic engagement and success for all students, we are pleased to announce the Supportive School Discipline (SSD) Webinar Series. Webinars in the series are open to anyone and will explore numerous topics, including current school discipline philosophies, policies, and practices, and emerging alternatives; addressing truancy and absenteeism; infusing restorative justice principles; the role of school resource officers (SROs) in supportive school discipline; the promise of trauma-informed practices; the importance of youth, family, and community engagement; and the need for professional development across all stakeholders.
This sixth Webinar in the series provided the knowledge that school, district, and court staff, law enforcement and legal personnel, youth, families, and other community stakeholders need to better understand how the use of youth courts in schools can ensure offender accountability while offering fair and restorative consequences for discipline infractions. By directing lower level cases away from the formal justice system, youth courts can be an integral part of a school's supportive disciplinary process, serving as an alternative to traditional disciplinary measures such as suspension and detention.
The Webinar featured Ms. Nancy Fishman, Project Director for the Center for Court Innovation's Youth Justice Programs, who introduced the concept of youth courts and discuss various youth court models currently used in schools. She was joined by Ms. Lorrie Hurckes, Co-Director and Youth Court Coordinator with the Dane County TimeBank. Ms. Hurckes shared Madison, Wisconsin's unique approach to youth courts in schools, which builds on the success of the national TimeBank model for exchanging time and services in the community. The Webinar also featured Ms. Kate Spaulding, who oversees the Pima Prevention Partnership's (Tucson, Arizona) Teen Court in the Schools (TCIS) program. She discussed TCIS' models of peer-led court proceedings and highlighted the program's success in Tucson-area high schools.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: As a result of participating in this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand the primary purposes and functions of youth courts
- Examine how, through policy and practice change, schools can use youth courts to develop a supportive discipline system
- Understand the importance of peers in the youth court process and the goals of accountability and restoration.
- Identify various models of youth courts employed by schools and districts using examples from some jurisdictions
AUDIENCE: This Webinar is appropriate for school district superintendents and allied staff, teachers, and support staff, school climate teams, student support personnel, school resource and security officers, probation/parole officers, law enforcement, judges and court administrators, legal personnel, youth, family members, and other community stakeholders.

The rhino population of South Africa is being decimated by armed insurgents who are crossing the border from Mozambique to the tourism flagship of South Africa, the KRUGER NATIONAL PARK and other areas. Please send a personal message to Mrs. Graca Mandela, the wife of beloved Nelson Mandela to intervene on our behalf and call on the Mozambican Government and its citizens to halt the vicious attacks on our rhinos. Mrs. Mandela was born in Mozambique, and was once married to a President of that country. She is one of the most influential persons in the world and we call on her to use her considerable connections and leverage to help us to bring the poaching scourge under control.

The 11 Most Important Guns in History
Firearms have evolved constantly ever since their start around 800 years ago. From primitive hand cannons to automatic weapons, here are the gun breakthroughs that changed the battlefield and beyond.
By David Hambling
Glock 17, 1982
Austrian Gaston Glock came from the world of polymer engineering rather than that of gunsmithing, and his revolutionary 9-mm Glock 17 is a simplified handgun made mainly from plastic, except for the barrel. The frame is lighter and more durable than steel and absorbs some of the recoil on firing. The 17, which takes its name from
its 17-round magazine being Glock's 17th patent, was designed with improved ergonomics and three independent safety mechanisms; it will not fire unless the trigger is pulled and all safeties are off. The Glock rapidly won a two-thirds share of the U.S. police market.

- 0Oct 11, '13 by KimO pedsI commuted an hour each way for about a year to a job I loved. I didn't mind the actual drive but it killed me knowing how much I was spending on gas.

If you want to give out the most popular candy on Facebook and other social networks to trick-or-treaters for Halloween Friday, invest in some M&M's, as it was the top candy brand among the nine major ones monitored by social marketing and analytics platform Engagor.
Facebook Marketing
INFOGRAPHIC: Facebook's Development In Three Years
In January 2010, Facebook had just 337 million users — a figure that has ballooned to roughly 1 billion this year. While Facebook is still most popular in the U.S., the social network has grown in leaps in bounds in countries such as Brazil and India over the past three years. An infographic from Socialbakers illustrates how the demographics of Facebook have changed since 2010.
What Kind Of Candy Should You Give Trick-Or-Treaters? Ask Facebook
Halloween is approaching quickly, and it's almost time to stock up on the big bags of sugary goodness to pass out to trick-or-treaters. Can't decide between Skittles, Kit Kat, or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? Let Facebook be your guide. Here are the most popular candies on the social network.
ComScore: There's More To Social Marketing Besides Facebook Likes
There's more to Facebook marketing besides racking up a bunch of "likes." ComScore Tuesday released "The Power of Like 2," which illustrates how companies should focus on engaging fans and sharing content for social marketing success.
Mob The Rainbow And Send Valentines On Facebook
Crowdsourcing online is nothing new. Every social voting site and its cousins crowdsource content moderation. You can also use the Internet to crowdsource advice, non-profit donations, movie funding, movie content, "flash mobs" (though that's usually through text messaging) and more. Now, Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, makers of Skittles candies, wants to crowdsource the digital equivalent of random acts of kindness. They're trying to leverage Facebook's huge user base to "cause some fun," via their Mob the Rainbow Facebook application and campaign.

Smell Good, and Make a Difference
Left, a vanilla-bean farm in Uganda where vanilla is sourced for pureDKNY. Right, the pureDKNY bottle is 100 percent recyclable and comes packaged in compostable Certified Forest Paper and biodegradable Nature Flex material.
Donna Karan.
It was a natural step for Karan to partner with CARE—a humanitarian group whose aim is to fight global poverty. In Uganda, where pureDKNY sources all of its vanilla, CARE is training rural women through a Village Savings and Loans Associations (VASLA) model. VASLA, which provides microfinancing to women, gives locals tangible tools to support themselves and their families. Through the program, women can take out loans to help them start small businesses and pay for necessities like health care or education—a first for many villagers. By tapping the resources of Ugandan vanilla-bean farms, which are mainly run by women, pureDKNY hopes to help expand the scope of CARE's work and provide a sustainable means of income for rural women.

Every Wednesday we're giving you a deeper look into what makes the minds behind Kempt tick. We call it: The Kempt Five.
Cannes Do: For anyone planning on doing some impromptu hobnobbing in Cannes, make sure to book one of these five celeb-magnet hotels.
Showing ID: Details makes the case for the return of a forgotten piece of men's jewelry: the ID bracelet.

Can It: Bon Appétit celebrates the technological advancements of man's greatest ally: the beer can.
It doesn't get much better than this when it comes to dressing for the equally Mediterranean and glamorous climate of Cannes.
Yesterday, to kick off the cinematic festivities, Joel Edgerton showed up to the inaugural photo call as Cannes personified: an airy off-white suit with peak lapels, a crisp white shirt with collar open, an interesting pocket square and a pair of Wayfarers (he ditched them once the flashbulbs started popping).
Last time we checked in on the Gatsby crew, we were less than thrilled with the turnout, but we're taking it all back with regards to Edgerton (the charcoal grays from Leo and Tobey still felt a bit out of place) and giving him top MOTH honors.
It's worth the whole damn bunch of Palme d'Ors put together.

Weekend Specials: European and Global Cultures / Perspectives on Architecture & (Creative) Economy< Back
a panel coordinated by Stephan Trüby
07 | 23 | 2014
two days of debate focused on Globalization
Venice, Corderie of Arsenale, July 26th and 27th 2014, stage E
Coordinated by: Stephan Trüby
Participants: Aristide Antonas, Gerhard Buurman, Elena Esposito, Ute Holfelder, Gerd Folkers, Simon Grand, Hannes Mayer, Desmond Hui, Yudhishthir (Raj) Isar, Frédéric Martel, Andy Pratt, Manfredo di Robilant, Ruth Schagemann, Klaus Schönberger, Annette Schönholzer, Christoph Weckerle, Georg Zoche.
The Weekend Special titled European and Global Cultures / Perspectives on Architecture & (Creative) Economy, coordinated by the architectural theorist Stephan Trüby, will take place as part of Monditalia, at the Corderie of Arsenale, on July 26th and 27th 2014, Stage E.
During two days of debates, scholars and experts will take stock of globalization, which was spread from Europe and is now barely controlled by the "old continent". Banking and finance are firmly in hands of the States, as are the digital revolution and its data records. Only Russia and China, with their seemingly unlimited access to raw materials and human resources, can somehow match the United States. It seems that in this context, Europe stands - besides some undisputed areas of high technology and the pharmaceutical industry - for refining the "old industries" in fields as machine and automobile construction for the luxury goods industry and as the often not clearly defined creative industries. In times of crisis, with the construction sector almost coming to a complete standstill in southern European countries, from Portugal to Greece, Europe's commonalities, which have grown over the past years, are retreating increasingly due to aggressive re-nationalization tendencies, which emphasize different financial cultures. Which are the headway taken by architects and other creative artists? Is Europe still a possible reference frame for cultural practice? Or have we gone so global that such a practice is nothing but folklore? These questions stand at the heart of the two-day conference.

Marine Animal Encyclopedia
Razor Shell Ensis americanus
So called because their shells resemble a straight razor, razor shells live in deep, vertical burrows on muddy and soft sandy shores. They are native to the northeast coast of North America, and the free-swimming larval stage is thought to have been introduced to the North Sea in 1978 when a ship emptied its ballast tanks outside the German port of Hamburg. This clam has subsequently spread along the continental coast. In places, it affects local polychaete worm populations, but it is not considered a pest.

It might lack the power of Adobe's Creative Suite but what can Corel's upgrade offer the more creative artist?
Being centred on a vector application, CorelDRAW isn't the first application you'd consider when creating fantasy or science fiction artwork. However the bundle of tools has been revised since the last version of the suite, to remove elements such as R.A.V.E, which failed to challenge the might of Macromedia Flash. Instead, Corel has chosen to dwell more on fusing together the best of both worlds, with CorelPAINT providing bitmap controls and CorelDRAW catering for more traditional vector illustration.
One of the key improvements in this respect is the introduction of PowerTRACE. This provides impressive results when converting bitmap images into vectors, with options as to how detailed you want such a conversion to be.
The scaleable vector formats provide numerous advantages over raster, as we've seen with Xara Xtreme, and this may be an area you choose to take your work, in which case PowerTRACE will be invaluable.
The brush size and shape controls show influences from stable-mate application, Painter.
However, for the more creative artist, CorelDRAW is too much of an all-round application. This weakness is a strength for graphic designers but if you're a fantasy artist you'll find that the PowerTRACE vector conversion options are the main reasons to consider parting with your cash.

Hello Leaders of Industry, my name is Daniel Caplan, and welcome to my ePortfolio! I am aspiring director of photography, cinematographer, grip, editor and actor in my junior year of post-secondary education. In the spring of 2012, I graduated from Middlesex Community College in Middletown, Connecticut with an Associate's Degree in Broadcast Cinema. During my tenure at Middlesex, I took a variety of classes that afforded me the opportunity to explore a number communications fields, and to hone my craft as a cinematographer, editor and actor. In the winter of my second year, during my final semester of community college, I wrote, directed, edited and starred in a short form music video project as my thesis for an Advanced Media Production Class. For this production I received an 'A' and also had the distinction of being included in Middlesex's 2012 Arts & Media Festival.
In the fall of 2012 I began my junior year at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York as Cinema Production major. I intend to graduate from Ithaca in the spring of 2014 with my Bachelor of Sciences degree in Cinema Production. Following graduation, intend to utilize the resources offered to me by the college to attend a semester long internship program in Los Angeles. During my time in California, I intend to gain as much experience in the field, and in the editing suite as I possibly can, forming lasting bonds with my peers and contemporaries, learning and growing together into successful, insightful industry professionals.

Shared earth—critical insight
Software Services - a powerful combination of discipline, application and integration expertise
Integrated modeling, from subsurface to economics.
Field development planning is pivotal to the success of E&P companies. The decision to develop an asset means committing to major capital, personnel, operating, and legislative obligations. Making optimal decisions requires a simultaneous understanding the reservoir, wells, and facilities, while also gaining a comprehensive appreciation of risks and uncertainties.
The Petrel, Techlog, and Avocet software platforms enable workflows to be integrated across disciplines, preserving the cumulative knowledge of asset teams and enabling the interdependencies between the reservoir, wells, and facilities to be understood in context.
Avocet Integrated Asset Modeler allows subsurface and surface models to be coupled so interaction effects between the production system and the reservoir are included when evaluating design alternatives and defining contingencies.
Once the final investment decision has been taken and procurement and construction begin, development wells are drilled and equipment is commissioned. This leads to a wealth of new data that are rapidly assimilated into the design models via the Petrel platform. This cyclic approach enables models to be continuously updated and used for reservoir and production management throughout the life of the asset. It also ensures that asset knowledge is retained from conceptual designs through brownfield redevelopment.
As a field development plan progresses, the size of the investment decisions increase dramatically; therefore, the detail in the plan must increase accordingly. The Petrel platform makes it effortless to move between models with the appropriate level of detail to support make-or-break investment decisions.
In the early appraisal stage, the objective is to qualify the resource and determine recoverable volumes. The Petrel and Techlog platforms provide powerful capabilities, extracting the maximum value from measurements to accurately characterize the subsurface. Petrel Uncertainty and Optimization, together with the MEPO multiple realization optimizer, enables engineers and geoscientists to incorporate uncertainties arising from gaps in these measurements into their field development schemes. Risks are formally captured and propagated into design contingencies and reservoir management plans.
At the concept stage, the feasibility of the development is quantified. Evaluating multiple development scenarios and identifying risks all contribute to determining the optimal development plan. Reservoir uncertainties and multiple recovery schemes are rapidly simulated with the ECLIPSE reservoir simulator.
During the design stage, detailed specifications, costings, and mitigation strategies are defined. The INTERSECT simulator enables high-resolution simulations to accurately represent complex geology and wells. This "no compromises" approach provides a rich understanding and results in highly informed decisions. The optimization capabilities of the Petrel platform and MEPO optimizer make it straightforward to design complex wells or development strategies.
Throughout both of these phases OLGA transient and PIPESIM steady state flow simulators enable the design of the production system of wells, pipelines, and facilities. The PIPESIM simulator is used to screen numerous design scenarios, while the OLGA simulator provides increased resolution into the flow assurance challenges that have been identified. Understanding the transient flow conditions in deepwater wells and pipelines is essential to determining the feasibility of the design concept and in creating operational procedures. Without the OLGA simulator, many deepwater developments would be impossible.
Decision-appropriate modeling and analysis are essential to efficient planning. The multiscale capabilities of the Petrel platform ensure you can quickly and easily access the right model for the right decision—from a straightforward analytical calculation to a high-resolution, full-field simulation with multiple realizations. With the Petrel platform, reservoir models are rapidly constructed and updated with new data as it becomes available.
Ultimately, the collated information must be transformed to an economic decision. Economic evaluation of prospects can be incorporated into appraisal well plans and refined to support field development schemes. Merak petroleum economics software couples with Avocet Integrated Asset Modeler to evaluate production economics throughout development and redevelopment operations.
The complexity of commissioning a large-scale project, especially when you have many sources of information and multiple sources of uncertainty, is challenging. Our software technology consulting services work with your team to develop the most effective strategies to maximize the returns from your investments.

Metalforming companies anticipate little change in business conditions during the next three months, according to the October 2010 Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) Business Conditions Report.
The October report shows 20% of participants forecast an improvement in economic activity during the next three months (down from 22% in September), 54% predict that activity will remain unchanged (compared to 59% last month), and 26% report that activity will decline (up from 19% in September).
Metalforming companies expect incoming orders to remain virtually unchanged for the next three months. 25% of participants predict an increase in orders (down from 26% in September), 45% anticipate no change (compared to 49% last month), and 30% predict a decrease in orders (up from 25% in September).
Average daily shipping levels in October continued to be steady. Forty-nine percent of participants report that shipping levels are the same as three months ago (up from 39% in September), 32% report that shipping levels are above levels of three months ago (compared to 40% in September), and 19% report a decrease in shipping levels (down from 21% in September).
The percentage of metalforming companies with a portion of their workforce on short time or layoff dipped to 17% in October from 19% in September. This number is significantly lower than it was one year ago when 60% of companies had workers on short time or layoff.
"October's data reflect normal expectations for the 4th quarter with a modest shift to a more cautious outlook anticipating lower orders and shipments as year-end approaches with a shortened work schedule during the December holidays," said William E. Gaskin, PMA president. "PMA's separate Monthly Orders & Shipments Report confirms that the metalforming industry has generally experienced a solid recovery in 2010, with year-to-date orders through August up 47%, on average, from the same period in 2009 and shipments up by 41%. New orders have been above the 12-month rolling average for 15 months, since July 2009, and shipments have been above the 12-month rolling average for 14 months, since August 2009. Most companies are still very cautious about making large capital investments and rehiring workers, but business trends continue to be positive."
The monthly Business Conditions Report is an economic indicator for manufacturing, sampling 121 metalforming companies in the United States and Canada.

This past weekend at Target, I scanned my shopping list: sunblock, sparkling water, a new pair of flip-flops for my daughter, and maybe some sand toys for our upcoming trip to Catalina Island. This assortment of sundries was united by a single theme: summer.
So imagine my shock and dismay when I walked into the mother of all superstores and was met by a ginormous back-to-school display. An army of backpacks and binders, pencils and pens, scissors and Scotch tape stared at me, and for a split second, I felt guilty for having forgotten all about the impending school year and all its copious gear. Then I felt angry. Back to school? We're barely halfway into summer! We've got at least six more weeks of loafing -- and not making lunches or having a single homework war -- yet to go, people. Picture a kid happily sucking on a lollipop the size of her head when the dentist calls to tell her she's late for her appointment. That's how I felt.
I understand how retail works, and I get that the bullseye brass are just doing their job, which is to hook me in early so I don't buy my lunch boxes and Trapper Keepers at a competing shop instead. And believe me, give me a few more weeks and I'll be dancing through the aisles like the dad in that hilarious "It's the most wonderful time of the year" Staples commercial. Just let me have my lollipop for a tiny bit longer, okay?
Have you thought about back-to-school shopping yet? Chime in below!

Slumping Ravens fire offensive coordinator CameronBy David Ginsburg
The Associated press | December 11,2012AP FILE Photo
Former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron speaks with quarterback Joe Flacco during a practice session at the teams training camp in Baltimore.OWINGS MILLS, Md. Cam Cameron was fired Monday as offensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens, who have lost two straight and are still striving for consistency in the running and passing game.
Cameron ran the Baltimore offense since the start of the 2008 season for coach John Harbaugh. Since that time, the Ravens attack has repeatedly taken a back seat to the teams defense, and this year the offense ranks 18th with 344.4 yards per game.
Jim Caldwell, who was hired as quarterbacks coach before the season, will assume Camerons duties. Caldwell was head coach of the Indianapolis Colts from 2009-11.
Harbaugh didnt give a detailed explanation for the move, which came less than 24 hours after the Ravens lost to the Washington Redskins 31-28 in overtime.
We put 28 points up, so youre not going to say its a reaction to a down offensive performance. Its not that. I think thats really important to point out, Harbaugh said. Its what I believe is best going forward for our offense and for our football team.
Cam was doing a heck of a job here. He was doing a heck of a job here for a long time. Nobody knows that better than me, and nobody has stated that more times. I believe that. I also believe right now at this time, the timing says this is the best thing, and this is what were going to do.
The move comes with the Ravens stuck in their first losing streak since they dropped three in a row in October 2009. Yet Baltimore (9-4) needs only one win to sew up its fifth straight playoff appearance and holds a two-game lead in the AFC North over Cincinnati and Pittsburgh with three games to play.
I dont know that staying pat wouldnt have gotten us there, Harbaugh said. What you try to do is put yourself in the best position possible as you see it to be the best football team you can be and then go compete and go see what you can get accomplished.
Our first goal right now is to secure a playoff berth. Our second goal is to win the AFC North. Thats squarely in our sights. Our next goal is to secure as high a playoff seed as we can. The next goal is to win playoff games, get to the Super Bowl and win that thing. I feel like this is going to give us the best chance to do that.
Caldwell, 57, was quarterbacks coach for Peyton Manning at Indianapolis before taking over as head coach. He will make his NFL debut as an offensive coordinator on Sunday against the Manning and Denver Broncos (10-3).
I had an opportunity to talk with (the offense) and really, in a nutshell, I just tried to make them understand that what were trying to do is get that much better, Caldwell said, holding his index finger and thumb about an inch apart. Thats about it. Thats a difficult task, obviously, trying to get that done in this league. But thats what were shooting for. Its not a system change. Obviously the Ravens offense is the Ravens offense. Its not a philosophical change. John sets the philosophy here of this team and we follow suit.
Although Harbaugh refused to criticize Cameron, the Ravens offense has sputtered at times this season. Baltimore scored touchdowns on three of its first four possessions against the Redskins but managed only seven points after halftime. Fifth-year quarterback Joe Flacco passed for 182 yards and committed two turnovers in the third quarter.
Baltimores running game ranks 17th in the NFL despite the presence of Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice, who has topped the 100-yard rushing mark only three times (compared to six times last year). Rice led the NFL in yards from scrimmage in 2011.
Flacco, meanwhile, has been erratic while operating the no-huddle attack and has showed little improvement from a year ago.
Maybe things will change under Caldwell. Thats Harbaughs hope, anyway.
The move was made because it gives us a chance to be the best we can be. Its just an opportunity to try to get this thing going, he said. We feel like its whats best for the team at this time. So thats why we made the move. Theres nothing more to it than that.
Flacco has committed pivotal turnovers in the last two games, but those defeats can be attributed heavily to the defense. Two weeks ago, the injury-riddled unit couldnt stop Pittsburgh Steelers third-string quarterback Charlie Batch in a 23-20 loss, and the Redskins moved downfield rather easily during a beat-the-clock touchdown drive in the waning minutes of regulation.
Cameron, 51, went 1-15 as head coach of the Miami Dolphins in 2007 before being chosen by Harbaugh to run the Baltimore offense. The Ravens made the playoffs in each of his previous four seasons, and under his direction Flacco became the teams career leader in passing yards, touchdowns and completions.
Harbaugh worked as an assistant coach for Cameron in 1997 at Indiana. After taking over for Brian Billick in Baltimore, one of his first moves was to hire Cameron.
There is a very human side to this. Cam is my friend, he taught me a lot about coaching, and he is an outstanding coach, Harbaugh said. Personally, this is the hardest thing Ive ever had to do as a coach. Cam has been a significant contributor to all of our successes over the past four, almost five, seasons. Deservedly, he is highly-regarded, and we owe thanks to him for what he did for the Ravens.
In other news, Harbaugh said injured linebackers Terrell Suggs (torn right biceps) and Ray Lewis (torn right triceps) could return Sunday. Harbaugh described guard Marshal Yandas sprained right ankle as somewhat serious but not a break.

The USO brings a galaxy from far, far away to Marines stationed in Miramar, Calif. for a special USO Entertainment event.
The critically acclaimed Cartoon Network series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" will offer two screenings of features on Friday, Jan. 19 at the Bob Hope Theater at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. The first show will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a "youngling-friendly" episode entitled "The Gathering." The second screening will follow at 8:00 p.m. and marks the U.S. premiere of "Eminence," featuring the return of popular villain Darth Maul.
In addition to the features, the USO will treat Marines and their families with a 20-minute Q&A session and a 30-minute autograph session featuring the show's supervising director Dave Filoni and five cast members. Among the actors scheduled to be onsite to greet troops and talk animation include: Dee Bradley Baker (voice of Captain Rex, the clones and Bossk), Catherine Taber (voice of Padme Amidala), James Arnold Taylor (voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi), Matt Lanter (voice of Anakin Skywalker) and Ashley Eckstein (voice of Ahsoka Tano).
Prior to the USO screenings, the group will tour the installation to learn about military operations and extend their heartfelt gratitude to servicemen and women. The group will also make a stop to talk with pilots, view aircraft and pose for photos. This trip will mark the second USO experience for Taylor, who traveled to Japan in 2009 and will be returning to the Pacific in early March. The USO event is the first for the remainder of the group.

Gut Flora and Impaired Glucose Regulation
Byron's Comments:
An imbalanced gut contents is linked to blood sugar dysregulation as a major independent risk factor.
Study Title:Gut metagenome in European women with normal, impaired and diabetic glucose control.
Study Abstract:
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a result of complex gene–environment interactions, and several risk factors have been identified, including age, family history, diet, sedentary lifestyle and obesity. Statistical models that combine known risk factors for T2D can partly identify individuals at high risk of developing the disease. However, these studies have so far indicated that human genetics contributes little to the models, whereas socio-demographic and environmental factors have greater influence1. Recent evidence suggests the importance of the gut microbiota as an environmental factor, and an altered gut microbiota has been linked to metabolic diseases including obesity2, 3, diabetes4 and cardiovascular disease5. Here we use shotgun sequencing to characterize the faecal metagenome of 145 European women with normal, impaired or diabetic glucose control. We observe compositional and functional alterations in the metagenomes of women with T2D, and develop a mathematical model based on metagenomic profiles that identified T2D with high accuracy. We applied this model to women with impaired glucose tolerance, and show that it can identify women who have a diabetes-like metabolism. Furthermore, glucose control and medication were unlikely to have major confounding effects. We also applied our model to a recently described Chinese cohort4 and show that the discriminant metagenomic markers for T2D differ between the European and Chinese cohorts. Therefore, metagenomic predictive tools for T2D should be specific for the age and geographical location of the populations studied.
From press release:
Intestinal bacteria may have a greater influence on us than was previously thought. In a study published in the journal Nature on 29 May, researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden and Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, show that patients with type 2 diabetes have an altered gut microbiota. Their findings have led to a new model to identify patients at increased risk of developing diabetes.
The human body contains ten times more bacteria than human cells. Most of these bacteria comprise the normal gut microbiota. Our bodies thus contain a vast number of bacterial genes in addition to the genes in our own cells, and are collectively known as the metagenome.
Three Swedish, Gothenburg-based research groups led by Fredrik Bäckhed and Björn Fagergberg, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, and Jens Nielsen of Chalmers University of Technology compared the metagenome of 145 women with diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance and healthy controls, and showed that women with type 2 diabetes have an altered gut microbiota.
Furthermore, healthy women have higher numbers of gut bacteria known to be producers of butyrate, a fatty acid that has previously been linked to beneficial health effect.
On the basis of these findings, the researchers developed a new model that can distinguish between patients with type 2 diabetes and healthy women by analysis of the metagenome. This model has better predictive value than the classical predictive markers used today, such as body-mass index and waist-hip ratio.
"By examining the patient's gut microbiota, we could predict which patients are at risk of developing diabetes. The big challenge is to find out whether the composition of the gut microbiota promotes the onset of age-related diabetes. If this is the case, this would indicate new opportunities to prevent the disease," says Professor Fredrik Bäckhed.
"In this study, we have developed new methods to analyze the metagenomic data and have been able to exploit much more of the 'unknown' metagenome, that is, the bacteria that have not been previously mapped," continues Jens Nielsen, Professor of Systems Biology at Chalmers University of Technology. "The study is an excellent example of how novel technologies, developed in connection with Chalmers' initiative in life science, can assist in analyzing large amounts of data from the clinic."
