"I am humbled by this award and recognition," said Dubyak. "I am passionate about trying to align higher education ― and now K-16 ― with Maine businesses and the growing need for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) graduates.

Dubyak sits on the University of Southern Maine Foundation's Board of Directors. Previously, Dubyak served as chairman of the University of Southern Maine's Board of Visitors. Dubyak has also served on the United Way of Greater Portland's Board of Directors, the Governor's Council on Competitiveness and the Economy, the New England Advisory Council of the Boston Federal Reserve, and the Maine Chamber of Commerce's Executive Board.

As a graduating senior at Tonawanda High School, John Gorman had an idea about what he wanted to pursue for his career, he just wasn't entirely sure how to put his plan into action. He had just completed the auto tech program offered through Erie 1 BOCES, and he was quite good at it.
So good, in fact, that John and a classmate took part in the annual Niagara Frontier Auto Dealers Association/Ron Smith Memorial AutoTech Competition and finished in second place. That achievement led to the National Automotive Technology Competition in New York City, where the duo would finish in a very respectable seventh place against the strongest teams from across the country.
Growing up in Niagara Falls, N.Y., Tyler O'Callahan loved to get his hands dirty tinkering with four wheelers and dirt bikes. So when he went on to Niagara Falls High School, it's no wonder he decided to check out the Niagara Frontier Auto Dealers Association's Ron Smith Memorial AutoTech Competition.
The local competition is open to Western New York high school juniors and seniors enrolled in a Career & Technical school automotive program. Junior's get their first taste of the program by participating in a Tire Rodeo, while seniors have a chance to put their overall automotive skills to the test and earn scholarships and other prizes. O'Callahan, now 22, participated in both competitions and in his senior year, went on to win the local competition and earn a spot at the national competition.
Football season is here, and Western New York's rabid football fans couldn't be happier. And while game day is always highly anticipated, it is also a day frequently associated with heavy drinking, reckless behavior, drinking and driving, and an increase in vehicular crashes.
"Western New Yorkers love football and love to cheer for Buffalo with their friends and family — oftentimes while drinking," said Monica Farrar, director of The Resource Training Center in Amherst. "The best way to celebrate a great game is to plan ahead and, if you plan to drink, plan on having a sober ride home."

Most people don't think twice about grabbing their pet and taking it for a ride in the car, to run some errands or to visit friends and family. However, with an increased focus on distracted driving and overall driving safety, there is growing concern about pets in the car.
Most dogs love to go for a car ride, but it's up to their owners to ensure they ride along safely. We've all seen dogs sitting on a passenger's lap or unrestrained in the back seat, so just as we've learned the importance of securing children when riding in a car, we also need to focus on pet safety.
Is there anything that Americans take for granted more than their vehicles? They play a hugely significant role in our daily lives, transporting us to work, school, the grocery store, doctors' appointments, entertainment venues and a wide variety of destinations both near and far. We hop in, turn the key and expect to be on our way within seconds — until that fateful day when a dead battery, flat tire or some unexpected mechanical problem stops us dead in our tracks.
Today's vehicles, as we are well aware, are more like computers on wheels, filled with state-of-the-art technology from bumper to bumper. As a result, it requires superbly trained automotive technicians to ensure that our vehicles continue to run in a safe and efficient manner.
Says technology will decrease lines and wait times
Erie County, NY – In his continued effort to utilize technology to improve customer service, Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs announced today the roll-out of Self-Serve Kiosks at the three main auto bureaus. "Similar to what you see at the airport, these kiosks allow you to by-pass the customer service window and print out a wait-time receipt on your own," said Jacobs.
Jacobs' says the Kiosks are a result of a "re-engineering study" done in the auto bureau in an effort to improve customer service and revenue. "The study found that customers are often waiting longer in the customer service line then they are waiting to be serviced by a cashier…the kiosks will be a powerful tool to decrease the customer service queue," stated Jacobs.

Les Fradkin, the virtuoso of MIDI Guitar, presents "Warp Drive" from his "One Link Between Them" CD featuring his revolutionary new instrument- The Starr Labs Ztar!
Robert Fripp once remarked in Guitar Player Magazine: "There is a new music to go with this new instrument. Therein lies my interest in the guitar synthesizer. That something entirely new will appear." This COULD be it! Come have a look and listen to the MIDI Guitar sound of the future.
This album has received wide acclaim in publications such as Keyboard Magazine and across the Internet.
Les, who is classically trained, is moving at Hyper speed. In this video, he's playing the Starr Labs Ztar MIDI Guitar in a Jean Michel Jarre meets Yngwie Malmsteen, Bach and Vivaldi influenced style on his own composition.
The Ztar can be strummed with string triggers or tapped with one or both hands as seen in this video.
Background sounds are being triggered from Ableton Live using clip launches and "follow actions".
The main lead sound is the Arturia Moog Modular V and the Logic ES2. Background sounds are from Reason 4, GForce M-Tron, Roland XV-5080 and Arturia Soft Synths. The sounds at the intro are made with Propellerhead Reason.

Intense aromas of ripe fruit, sandalwood and perfume. Full-bodied, with lovely ripe fruit flavors and velvety tannins. Long, sweet fruit finish. Soft, layered and gorgeous. Exciting in a reserved way. Best after 2008. (12/ 2006)
The 2000 Barolo Granbussia is the freshest of these 2000 Baroli from Aldo Conterno. Pretty floral notes meld into a generous core of fruit in this open, generous Granbussia. The 2000 should continue to drink well for another decade or so. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. (6/ 2011)

The Ottawa Technical Secondary School (name changed as of May 1st, 2010) is an Ottawa-Carleton District School Board high school in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It specializes in teaching students trades. It is located at 485 Donald Street, just east of the Vanier neighbourhood of Ottawa. Until 2001, it was known as McArthur High School . From 2001 until 2010 it was known as Ottawa Technical Learning Centre. Name change occurred May 1st, 2010.
The school opened in 1973 and was one of several vocational schools operated by the Ottawa Board of Education. In the 1990s, attendance was steadily declining, falling from a high of 800 students in 1980 to about 390 in 1996. The school had a poor reputation due to its poor academic record and a history of violence and crime.[citation needed] Around this time, all the other vocational schools in Ottawa were closed or converted into standard high schools. Because of the expense of its specialized programs and its low enrolment, McArthur came close to being closed. In 2001, however, it was renamed and upgraded. Again, in 2010 the name was changed to Ottawa Technical Secondary School. Due to the merger of various municipalities into the new City of Ottawa, it can draw on a much larger base of students. Its enrolment has rapidly increased, and is now around 600. The school continues to serve special needs students. Increasingly, it also serves older students who have been away from school for some years.
After it was renamed, the school was upgraded and refurbished. The school board refused to pay for this, but a fundraising effort led by Dave Smith saw substantial donations of money and equipment allowing the school to expand and upgrade its programs. A number of local business leaders supported the school due to the shortage of skilled tradespeople in the city.[citation needed]
OTSS educates for the world of work, providing life and vocational skills in an adaptive and diverse environment to encourage responsible citizenship. The school offers a wide array of programs from the culinary arts to welding to auto-mechanics. It is the only school in Ontario to offer courses in several of the areas.[citation needed] Students can receive a high school diploma, but most do not, instead staying only long enough to obtain a certificate in a certain trade. In higher grades, students spend much of their time in co-operative education programs. The severe shortage in skilled blue-collar workers across Canada has meant that most graduates quickly find employment.[citation needed]

"By alternating didactic learning with other methods of instruction and multimedia, physicians may retain more information and be able to apply what they've learned more readily in a clinical situation," said Dr. Moores. Although a diversified approach to CME is advised, it is not clear which combination of these diverse modalities results in the most effective learning experience. "Additional research is needed to identify which combination of modalities, like simulation education, case-based learning, etc., provides the most impact."
However, CME research provides its own set of challenges. During the literature review process for the new guidelines, the guidelines panel discovered extensive variation in terminology used to define educational interventions, target audiences, learning objectives, content areas, and educational teaching methodologies. This variation has led to a lack of standardized CME approaches and CME research including research controls, making comparison difficult and quantitative syntheses impossible. As a result, the guidelines advocate for a more standardized approach to CME research made easier by the adoption of a consistent set of CME terminology and methodologies.
"The ACCP is to be applauded for its efforts in the area of CME," said John E. Prescott, M.D., Chief Academic Officer for the Association of American Medical Colleges. "Although the research in this field has been clear for two decades about the need for a changed model, this guideline confirms the importance of CME and its effect on changing provider performance--especially when it uses multiple teaching methods or truly engages the clinician. The Association of American Medical Colleges has simila

Dopaminergic pathways
Dopaminergic pathways, sometimes called dopaminergic projections, are neural pathways in the brain that transmit the neurotransmitter dopamine from one region of the brain to another.[1][2]
The neurons of the dopaminergic pathways have axons that run the entire length of the pathway. The neurons' somata produce the enzymes that synthesize dopamine, and they are then transmitted via the projecting axons to their synaptic destinations, where most of the dopamine is produced. Dopaminergic nerve cell bodies in such areas as the substantia nigra tend to be pigmented due to the presence of the black pigment melanin.
Pathways [edit]
There are eight dopaminergic pathways. The four major ones are:
Name | Description | Disorders |
mesolimbic pathway | The mesolimbic pathway transmits dopamine from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to the limbic system via the nucleus accumbens. The VTA is located in the midbrain, and the nucleus accumbens is in the ventral striatum. The "meso" prefix in the word "mesolimbic" refers to the midbrain, or "middle brain", since "meso" means "middle" in Greek. This pathway is part of the mesocorticolimbic projection. | schizophrenia, ADHD, addiction |
mesocortical pathway | The mesocortical pathway transmits dopamine from the VTA to the frontal cortex. The "meso" prefix in "mesocortical" refers to the VTA, which is located in the midbrain, and "cortical" refers to the cortex. This pathway is part of the mesocorticolimbic projection. | schizophrenia, ADHD |
nigrostriatal pathway | The nigrostriatal pathway transmits dopamine from the substantia nigra to the striatum. This pathway is associated with motor control. | Parkinson's disease, chorea |
tuberoinfundibular pathway | The tuberoinfundibular pathway transmits dopamine from the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland. This pathway influences the secretion of certain hormones, including prolactin. "Infundibular" in the word "tuberoinfundibular" refers to the cup or infundibulum, out of which the pituitary gland develops. | hyperprolactinaemia |
- Minor pathways[3]
- Ventral tegmental area (VTA) → Amygdala
- VTA → Hippocampus
- VTA → Cingulate gyrus
- VTA → Olfactory bulb
The mesocortical and mesolimbic pathways are sometimes referred to simultaneously as the mesocorticolimbic projection, system, or pathway.[2][4]

Neurons from the SNc densely innervate the dorsal striatum where they play a critical role in the learning and execution of motor programs. Neurons from the VTA innervate the ventral striatum (nucleus accumbens), olfactory bulb, amygdala, hippocampus, orbital and medial prefrontal cortex, and cingulate cortex. VTA DA neurons play a critical role in motivation, reward-related behavior, attention, and multiple forms of memory. ... Thus, acting in diverse terminal fields, dopamine confers motivational salience ("wanting") on the reward itself or associated cues (nucleus accumbens shell region), updates the value placed on different goals in light of this new experience (orbital prefrontal cortex), helps consolidate multiple forms of memory (amygdala and hippocampus), and encodes new motor programs that will facilitate obtaining this reward in the future (nucleus accumbens core region and dorsal striatum). ... DA has multiple actions in the prefrontal cortex. It promotes the "cognitive control" of behavior: the selection and successful monitoring of behavior to facilitate attainment of chosen goals. Aspects of cognitive control in which DA plays a role include working memory, the ability to hold information "on line" in order to guide actions, suppression of prepotent behaviors that compete with goal-directed actions, and control of attention and thus the ability to overcome distractions. ... Noradrenergic projections from the LC thus interact with dopaminergic projections from the VTA to regulate cognitive control. ...

Help, I forgot my username and/or password
Master developer Nakheel has said that owners who are withholding service charges at its Shoreline Residences on Palm Jumeirah are not only flouting the law, but also damaging Dubai's reputation.
"It is important for everyone to play their part. While the owners have rights, they also have certain obligations," said Nakheel acting CEO Sanjay Manchanda at a media round table, Construction Week Online reported.
"As a service provider, as a developer, I have a responsibility not only towards the community, but also towards the population of the country. If I do not clean the beaches, if I do not provide the necessary inputs into those beaches, the water quality, there will be no beaches."
Nakheel has been embroiled in a months-long row over service fees and access to the beach, pool and gym facilities at Shoreline Residences.
It threatened to ban residents with unpaid service fees from using the communal facilities. RERA has since commented that Nakheel cannot prevent residents from accessing the beaches.
A bone of contention has been tenants who have paid their rent, but owners who in turn have not paid over the service charges in question to Nakheel.
Manchanda said Nakheel had procured documentary evidence of illegal sub-leasing at Shoreline Apartments.
"I can say this with confidence, we have produced documents, that in Shoreline you have people doing things that are not in accordance with the law.
"According to the law, an annual lease is the only document which is recognised... People are doing short-term leases, and these people are being sold certain services at a certain price without them knowing what has actually happened.
"They get infuriated when they confront us and ask why they are being denied access. If your owner has not paid the service charges, how can you even access those services?
"Secondly, it is for residents, not for people that just come in... If Nakheel allows that, it will be a disservice to some of the owners. It is an owner behaviour we are trying to highlight … There are people who are not in compliance with the law."
Manchanda added: "We cannot allow these things to continue. What we did was a soft approach to get our collections. If we had not done this, can you imagine. I would have had to continue to provide sums of money which I have borrowed at a cost to run these communities. I am sure all of you would be saying to me that is a bad business decision.
"So I think it is very important to realise we continue to provide a transparent and objective service to everyone ... Post-restructuring, Nakheel is the only developer who has no company or any interest in providing any of these services. We do not own any security or MEP companies. We are very focused on what we want to do, which is develop.
"Among the larger community of Palm Jumeirah, there has not been anybody else who has voiced any statement about the quality of services and service charges.
"Shoreline Residences has had unfortunate incidents, and I am confident we will work with residents and restore calm and peace. As such, people have been very happy with the measures we have introduced," said Manchanda.

Posted by: Kelly P Monday, 20 February 2012 9:28 PM[UAE] - UAEI am stunned at the audacity of Mr. Manchanda. How on earth can Nakheel justify banning tenants from pools and gyms (tenants who paid rent in one instalment many months ago) because the owners, many who reside overseas, have not paid service charges? This issue has made global headlines and the damage this has done to Dubai's reputation is immeasurable.
Posted by: ssdubai Monday, 20 February 2012 4:25 PM[UAE] - UAEthe CFO is a bit rich in comments, what does he have to say about Nakheel's debt- surely he was heavily involved in all those bad losses which rocked the whole of Dubai.
Posted by: fahim Monday, 20 February 2012 9:54 AM[UAE] - UAENot sure whats happening with Nakheel but its not good.
Jebal Ali Gardens residents have had their cooling charges upped by over 100% overnight.
This is unheard of anywhere in the world
Posted by: Mervie Sunday, 19 February 2012 1:57 PM[UAE] - BahrainNakheel is hilarious to make such claims. I emailed Nakheel over charges and never received a response. I made a payment months ago yet the customer log shows a receipt issued and cancelled on same day, then 3 months of late fees and FINALLY a receipt issued 5 months after my payment! Also, they want owners to pay for club house fees for the last 6 months of 2011 even though they've prevented those same owners from accessing the facilities unless they paid a separate charge as well.
Posted by: matt Sunday, 19 February 2012 12:37 PM[UAE] - DubaiOne of the posters below asked the valid question what is the per sq ft Nakheel service charge in the Palm Shoreline Apartments. We have asked friends and the answer seems to be that "it depends on how hard you argue with Nakheel". In our case, last year our service charge suddenly jumped from about Dh13/sq ft to Dh25/sq ft. We disputed this increase but got nowhere, and were banned from all the facilities and threatened with being blocked from our carparking and eventually our apartment. After about 50-80 individual attempts over 3 months to resolve this matter with Nakheel "Customer Service"(!) and finally threats of legal action against Nakheel, they suddenly "found" the error in our bills and reduced the bill back to Dh 15/sq ft, and so we paid it.
But we have several friends who did not have the huge time required to fight the Nakheel machine, and just paid the hiked rates to avoid being banned from everything.
I dread this year's fight with Nakheel over increases.Posted by: ALA Sunday, 19 February 2012 3:20 PM[UAE] - ukMatt, I do not know how you managed to pay only AED15/sqft, I am charged at AED25/sqft in total.
