1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a dental appliance, more particularly a tooth isolation device, that permits dental work upon one or more teeth while shielding those teeth from the tongue and body fluids within the mouth. In addition, thedevice captures the residue accumulated during treatment for easy removal by standard dental procedures. The isolation device also provides support to maintain the mouth in a stable open position for easy access.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Dental dams using various techniques to isolate one or more teeth from the surrounding area in the mouth are well known in the art. U.S. Pat. No. 663,178, issued to Nathaniel Kuns, illustrates a metal holder for holding sheet rubber that isinserted over a tooth that is to be worked on. A rubber-dam-clamp is inserted through a perforation through the rubber-dam and the dam and the clamp are then placed over the tooth providing a seal.
U.S. Pat. No. 1,159,496, issued to James Ivory, illustrates a rubber-dam clamp. The clamp comprises a spring frame having a pair of jaws joined together by a spring bridge so that the jaws may be held in place about the teeth. To each jaw isattached a wing over which is wrapped the rubber-dam during placement of the device over the patient's teeth. When the device is in place a rubber-dam is attached to four or more points on the periphery of the wings to form a cup-shaped area.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,092,549, issued to John M. Craigo, discloses various cup-shaped devices composed of a resilient and elastic rubber. In the bottom of the cup are a number of holes for receiving one or more teeth, thereby isolating those teethfrom their surroundings.
Notwithstanding the existence of such prior art devices, there is a need for a simple, inexpensive device that provides a means for isolating teeth rapidly and positively from their surroundings, even when the teeth have little or no spacebetween one another or are misaligned. There is a need for a device that also provides support to the patient's jaws so that the jaws are maintained in an open and stable position for easy access.
The present invention relates to a tooth isolation device whereby one or more teeth are quickly and positively sealed from the surrounding area, while at the same time the upper and lower jaws are maintained in an opened position in relation toone another. The tooth isolation device is particularly adapted for use with upper and lower molars. The device comprises a flexible cup-shaped member having a bottom portion and at least one side that extends outwardly from the bottom portion todefine an open end. The member has at least one aperture formed therethrough that extends from the bottom portion along the side of the member to a point near the open end.
A flexible sealing element is attached to the cup-shaped member so that it sealingly covers the aperture. The sealing element has a slit formed therethrough that communicates through the aperture with the interior of the member. When the memberis inserted into the mouth of a patient, the aperture is aligned with the molars on one side of the mouth and pressed onto the molars so that at least one molar projects through the slit in the sealing element, through the aperture and into the interiorof the cup-shaped member. The sealing element is pressed about the molar and the adjacent gum area so that the molar is isolated from the mouth fluids.
The invention accordingly comprises an article of manufacture possessing the features, properties and the relation of elements which will be exemplified in the article hereinafter described, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in theclaims.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the tooth isolation device of this invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the invention of FIG. 1 with the flexible sealing element having been removed.
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the invention of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a right side elevation view of the invention.
FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view of a portion of the invention illustrating the insertion of a molar through the aperture of the invention.
FIG. 6 is a view of the invention of FIG. 1 that is partially broken away to illustrate the invention in place within the mouth of a patient.
Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
A preferred embodiment of the tooth isolation device of this invention is illustrated in the drawing FIGS. 1-6 and is generally indicated as 10. Referring first to the view of FIG. 1, it can be seen that the tooth isolation device 10 comprises acup-shaped member 12 and a flexible sealing element 14.
In a preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the cup-shaped member 12 comprises a bottom portion 16 and at least one side 18 that extends outwardly from the bottom portion 16. The side 18 has a first end 20 that is joined to the bottom portion 16and a second end 22 that is spaced apart from the bottom portion 16 defining an open end of the member 12. In a preferred embodiment the side 18 is formed contiguously with the bottom portion 16 to provide a smooth transition between the side 18 and thebottom portion 16. In a preferred embodiment, the member 12 has two apertures 26 formed therethrough, the apertures generally opposing one another. Each aperture is formed through the bottom portion 16 and through side 18 extending along side 18 to apoint proximal to the second end 22. Each aperture is wide enough and long enough to receive the molars of the person for whom the tooth isolation device 10 is designed. For comfort and ease of use tooth isolation devices 10 may be made in any numberof sizes between the preferred size for a small child and the preferred size for a large adult. In the illustrated embodiment of FIGS. 1-6, the two apertures 26 each extend into the bottom portion 16; however, the isolation device 10 would worksatisfactorily if the apertures extended only along the side 18. The two apertures 26 are sized and configured to simultaneously receive upper molars 28 from one side of the upper jaw 30 and lower molars 32 from a corresponding side of the lower jaw 34,as seen in FIG. 6. The longitudinal edges 36 of the apertures 26 curve inwardly in relation to the member 12 so that the edges of the aperture 26 do not scrape the gums of the patient. The spacing between the edges 36 must be sufficient to allow thereception of misaligned molars 28 and 32.
In addition, to provide a better fit in the patient's mouth the member 12 is tapered so that the circumference of the member adjacent the bottom portion is smaller than the circumference adjacent to the second end 22. This permits a deeperinsertion into the mouth of the patient toward the hinge point (not shown) of the upper jaw 30 and the lower jaw 34.
A concave segment 38 is formed in the side 18 of member 12 to receive the most forward teeth, usually the eye teeth 40. A concave segment 38 extends between the first end 27 of each aperture 26 to and including a section of the second end 22 ofside 18 to provide a generally figure eight appearance, as illustrated in FIG. 3.
In the preferred embodiment, member 12 is comprised of a light-weight, thin and flexible plastic material that is stiff enough to provide a prop between the upper jaw 30 and the lower jaw 34, but yet is flexible enough to allow the apertures 26to fit about misaligned teeth. In other embodiments, member 12 may be constructed of coated paper or any other suitable material. A lip 44 is formed in the second end 22 of the side 18 to provide increased rigidity in the member 12, maintaining thejaws 30 and 34 of the patient in an open position for easy access. In a preferred embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4, the lip 44 is formed as a rolled edge that generally projects laterally outwardly of side 18, but in other embodiments lip 44 may extendfrom the second end 22 in any direction, including inwardly.
A flexible sealing element 14 is attached to member 12 so that it covers and seals each aperture 26. Sealing element 14 comprises a first part 46 covering one aperture 26 and a second part 48 covering the other aperture 26. The first part 46and the second part 48 of the sealing element 14 may be contiguously joined to one another so that the element extends about the bottom portion 16 of the member 12 and extends along the side 18 covering the opposing apertures 26. In an alternativeembodiment, the sealing element may comprise two separate parts, with each part 46 and 48 covering a respective aperture 26. In a preferred embodiment, the sealing element is comprised of a foam material having adhesive on opposing faces 50 and 52. Face 52 is then attached by the adhesive to the member 12. Face 50 has a protective layer of stripable material 54 thereon to protect the adhesive until the tooth isolation device 10 is to be used. The sealing element 14 in other embodiments may notinclude an adhesive on face 52, requiring it to be attached to the member 12 by gluing or any other means well known in the art that is suitable for this purpose. Each part 46 and 48 of the sealing element 14 has a slit 56 formed therethrough that isgenerally parallel to the edges 36 of the corresponding aperture 26. The slit 56 is generally centered longitudinally between the edges 36 of the corresponding aperture 26 so that the slit 56 is in communication with the aperture 26 and thereby incommunication with the interior A of the member 12.
Having thus set forth a preferred construction for the tooth isolation device 10 of this invention, it is to be remembered that this is but a preferred embodiment. Attention is now invited to a description of the use of the tooth isolationdevice 10 in a preferred embodiment. The member 12 is packaged under generally antiseptic conditions and is manufactured from inexpensive materials so that the tooth isolation device 10 may be used once and then discarded. In other embodiments, themember 12 may be comprised of more sturdy materials that are suitable for sanitizing. Then, all that is required is adding a new sealing element 14 before each use.
In a preferred embodiment, the tooth isolation device is packaged with the sealing element 14 attached to the member 12. Therefore, to use the device 10, the protective cover 54 (shown in FIG. 1) is stripped from each part 46 and 48 of sealingelement 14 and then the device 10 is inserted within the patient's mouth so that one aperture 26 is aligned with the lower molars 32 and the other aperture 26 is aligned with the upper molars 28. The patient then closes his/her jaws 30 and 34 on thedevice 10 so that the molars 28 and 32 project through a slit 56 and its corresponding aperture 26. The eye teeth 40 engage the corresponding concave segment 38, permitting deeper penetration by the molars through the apertures 26. As seen in FIG. 4,with the protective cover 54 removed, the adhesive on face 50 of the sealing element 14 is exposed. As shown in FIG. 5, sealing element 14 may now be pressed against the molars 28 and 32 to provide a tight seal to prevent leakage into and out of thetooth isolation device 10. The sealing element 14 being comprised of a light foam material may be easily formed to the sides of the molars 28 and 32 to fill any gaps. The eye teeth 40 having closed upon the concave segment 38 are held apart by therigidity of the lip 44 so that the jaws 30 and 34 of the patient are held open. The open second end 22 of member 12 provides easy access to the molars that now extend inwardly into the isolation device 10. After work has been completed upon the molars28 and 32 the tooth isolation device 10 may be removed and discarded.
It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above among those made apparent from the preceding description are efficiently attained and, since certain changes may be made in the above article without departing from the scope of the invention,it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all ofthe generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.
Now that the invention has been described,

Nissan, Ford and Mitsubishi, and has also served as a warranty administrator and customer relations manager for multiple dealerships.
Q: What's a good reason to take your car to the dealer for routine maintenance, rather than to the guy with two bays and a private shop?
A: Let's use Ford as an example. If you own a Ford vehicle, the Ford dealership will have Ford-trained technicians who work on Ford vehicles 95 to 100 percent of the time. During that time they will use Ford resources and Ford training to repair your vehicle correctly, and (ideally) they take Ford classes and attend Ford schools to keep up on their knowledge. With the other guy, it's a tossup — he may work on two Fords one week and not see another for a month. Also, on regular maintenance it can sometimes be cheaper, not more expensive. To get an oil change and tire rotation where I live, the Ford dealer is $38.95 plus tax, and Sears wants $75.
Q: So it's not necessarily more expensive, and they know more about your car. Any other reason?
A: Often times at Jiffy Lube or wherever they're paid by the hour, and they're not necessarily trained to know your vehicle. And that can cost you your engine. If I could get half of what I've charged customers to replace engines that were screwed up by Jiffy Lube and Walmart, for such things as not enough oil, too much oil, the wrong weight of oil, wrong filter, loose filter or any combination of the above, I could have retired a long time ago. There's no point to spending $30,000 to $40,000 on a new vehicle and then trying to go cheap on the maintenance.
Q: What's an example of a common tactic by dealers to pad the bill?
A: So-called shop supplies. That is, and always has been, the biggest crock of crap I've ever seen, and it's been going on for years! It is essentially similar to going to a nice restaurant, getting your check and finding you've been billed for napkins and silverware, which are necessary costs of the food service business. Shop supplies include, but are not limited to, shop rags, lubricants — this isn't the motor oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid and steering fluid they might put in your car — and the cost of disposing of used oil. These are just some of the necessary costs of doing the auto repair business. Some dealers do not charge for them, but most do, and what is considered shop supplies is at the discretion of each individual dealer. I've seen a customer get billed for $30 in shop supplies—on top of their estimate — for the use of three shop rags! For that price, I can buy 20 rolls of shop towels at Auto Zone.
Q: If you got a bill that had shop supplies on it, what would you do?
A: Ask to see exactly what that means. Ask to see the precise items they actually used. Challenge them on it. You might not get them to knock it off your bill, but you should try.
Q: You also said that dealer service departments too often recommend fluid flushes and replacements that aren't called for by the owner's manual. The dealers cite the "severe use" schedule that doesn't apply to the vast majority of us. Should drivers simply veto a service or fluid replacement that isn't recommended — in the owner's manual — under the normal or light-duty service requirements?
A: Yes, you should go by what the owner's manual recommends for normal use. And, yes, this is a common practice, and I hate to admit that. When I was a customer relations manager, I had a service manager who would [bait people into buying the fluid changes] by showing new fluid versus used fluid. She made more than I did just in flush commissions, but had the worst customer satisfaction surveys. I have always stuck to the manufacturer recommendations, and my Escape has over 310,000 miles on it. Less than five percent of drivers operate their cars under conditions that would be deemed "severe." The ones who do are usually taxi or pizza-delivery drivers, or those who frequently take their SUV or truck off-road.
Q: What's the single best piece of advice you'd offer to a friend about servicing his car at the dealer?
A: A dealer won't come right out and say it, but if you have your regular service work done at the dealer... (because warranty work pays the dealer a lot less than service work), your value to the dealership increases. Here's an example: Suppose your vehicle goes out of warranty and a week later you have a catastrophic failure. If you have shown loyalty to the dealership by using them for regular service work, they will be more inclined to help you — as opposed to the person who buys a car there and takes it somewhere else for regular service, and only brings it in for warranty work.
Q: So it's about building a relationship with the dealer?
A: Yes. You need to know that dealers make very little on car sales. And warranty service doesn't pay as much as regular maintenance. But if they see that record that you've been loyal to them, they'll likely be loyal to you.
Q: What's a sign that a dealership doesn't value that relationship?
A: Constant turnover at the service desk. You should get the name of the person at the desk. You should ask for him or her. If that person's different every time, it's not a good sign. Good auto service work starts with a relationship between the advisor and the customer, and that cannot be obtained when the customer sees a new advisor every time he comes in. I always knew the person's car, I pulled up its history, and that's something people appreciate. But if that person is new or is always changing, they don't know you or your car — stuff gets missed, and that's typically not good for you or your car.
Q: How come a dealer might charge you 30 percent more for a part than you can find it for at AutoZone?
A: It's one of the hang-ups I've always had about domestic automakers. You can often buy their parts cheaper at the auto parts store than you can at the dealership parts counter. And the dealer knows this, but he can't do anything about it. The problem is that even though that's true, the dealer doesn't want to install a part that he didn't source, because if it fails, how does he warranty it?
Q: So what do you do as the customer?
A: There's not a lot you can do. They can install the part if you went out and bought it, but most won't.
Q: Speaking of AutoZone, you can take your car there to have them read what a Check Engine light means. How accurate will that reading be?
A: Check Engine lights are big moneymakers for dealers and also the bane of a service manager's existence. Anyone can use a code reader. But what does the code mean? For every code there need to be additional diagnostics. I've had customers come in and tell me to swap some part, because they're sure it's the problem. But all that is is a really expensive guess. They might be right 10 to 20 percent of the time, close 20 percent of the time, and dead wrong 60 percent of the time. I had a customer go through six oxygen sensors when all it was was a shorted wire.
Q: What's the smartest thing you can buy from the dealer?
A: A brand-name extended service contract. So if you're buying a Ford, get a Ford contract. If it's a Toyota, buy the Toyota contract. The opposite is also true. Never buy the extended service contract that's generically offered through the dealer but isn't backed by the brand of car they sell.
Q: How come?
A: Because the people who fulfill the generic contracts are paid by how little service they have to do. So they fight the dealer on every penny. They'll want to see the entire labor record on the car. They won't want to pay for parts. They'll fight on the cost of the labor. In the end, the customer is going to have to eat some of that cost, even though the contract supposedly covers the car.
Q: What's the worst day of the week to get your car serviced?
A: Friday afternoon after lunch, because the service department is trying to push out as many vehicles as possible. Maybe a car has been there since Monday waiting on parts. Maybe there are a few cars like that. Then people pour in around lunchtime wanting oil changes. And there are the cars there already with appointments, and everyone's in a rush to get it all done. Make an appointment for a Monday morning as early as possible. It's a lot more orderly, and they'll do a better job.

Muslim woman to head BJP's minority wing

State BJP president Laxmikant Bajpai said, "The new team has been constituted in order to approach all sections and communities. This is the first time a Muslim woman will head a party wing and that is a positive move."
Former MLC Seema Rizvi, who died in 2009, was the last prominent Muslim woman in the party in UP. She was associated with the party's minority wing, but did not hold any post.
Under the party constitution, BJP nominates women on at least 33 per cent positions in the organisation. Bajpai said there are 41 women in the new 105-member state team. "Such a large number of women has been given positions in the party in order to approach every family in rural as well as urban areas," he said.

Some fun pictures of meteorologist having fun in the snow
While snow brings hazardous driving conditions and can be an inconvenience, it can also be fun! After a long morning on-air covering the snow, Ed and I were ready to have some fun of our own, although we didn't wait until the morning show was completely over to begin playing in the snow.
To show the snow off on-air, we first built a mini snowman to set on our weather desk.
Once the show was over, we ventured outside and built a life-sized snowman. We had to get a little creative with the face; luckily I had some candy to help give him eyes and a mouth.
As you can probably tell from the pictures of us posing with our snowman, we were pretty happy with the final project; then came the viewer submitted weather photographs that showed us just how pathetic our snowman was!
Here are some of your snowmen. You can find more snowy pictures in KTKA.com's Weather photo gallery..

Those are darling. Thanks for sharing them. Why doesn't the little bloke have a face?
Ryan Wood 5 years, 3 months ago
I particularly enjoyed the snowman who took a sawed-off shotgun to the chest and saw his blood and guts spill out all over the snow. Smile for the camera kids! Say murder one on three!

Our new devotional "If God Loves Me, Why Did I Lose My Job?" explores the struggle of unemployment. Sign up here.
This chapter gives us a more full account of the reign of Rehoboam than we had before in Kings and it is a very melancholy account. Methinks we are in the book of Judges again; for, I. Rehoboam and his people did evil in the sight of the Lord, 2 Chron. 12:1. II. God thereupon sold them into the hands of Shishak, king of Egypt, who greatly oppressed them, 2 Chron. 12:2-4. III. God sent a prophet to them, to expound to them the judgment and to call them to repentance, 2 Chron. 12:5. IV. They thereupon humbled themselves, 2 Chron. 12:6. V. God, upon their repentance, turned from his anger (2 Chron. 12:7, 12) and yet left them under the marks of his displeasure, 2 Chron. 12:8-11. Lastly, Here is a general character of Rehoboam and his reign, with the conclusion of it, 2 Chron. 12:13-16.

In his annual policy address to the Hong Kong SAR Legislative Council, Chief Executive C Y Leung pledged that the Government would continue to improve port facilities and enhance the efficiency of port operations, thereby seizing the opportunities brought by the growth of trade in the Mainland and Asia. The following is extracted from Mr Leung's speech:
"The logistics industry has flourished in recent years. Ten hectares of land have been set aside in Tuen Mun West for logistics use. Land will also be earmarked in new development areas for the construction of modern logistics facilities.
High Value-added Maritime Services
Hong Kong enjoys a competitive edge in developing quality and international maritime services, such as ship registration, management and broking, shipping agency, ship finance, maritime insurance, legal and arbitration services.
The consultancy study on Enhancing Hong Kong's Position as an International Maritime Centre has been completed. The study concluded that Hong Kong is well positioned to develop high value-added maritime services.
It also proposed setting up a new statutory maritime body. In the coming year, the Government will work out the specific functions, structure and funding of the proposed new body and consult the industry. We will then take forward the necessary legislative procedures as soon as possible."

Lighthouse Christian School believes that given the right opportunities academically, physically and spiritually every child can flourish.
Lighthouse Christian School is a private Christian school in florida's first coast area of jacksonville and orange park.
Lighthouse Christian School is designed for the child who sometimes learns differently.
Many Christian schools use college prep programs that are very fast paced.
This type of program can't be concerned about the student who falls behind.
Once a child is labeled as a failure in these programs it can have a very deep, long term, psychological impact on the child.

Paul Shaffer Might Leave 'Late Show With David Letterman' After His Contract Expires
It's hard to imagine David Letterman without Paul Shaffer by his side, but the late-night host's longtime sidekick and musical director says he might be ready to call it a day when his Late Show contract expires.
"We've been on 30 years so now we've got another two years … I'm going to be certainly ready to lie down after that, take a nap," he told TV Guide Canada over the weekend.
PHOTOS: Outtakes from THR's New York Issue Photo Shoots
Still, he admitted that nothing is set in stone just yet.
"Life is nutty -- anything can happen," he added. "I've been so lucky and blessed to be working this long in show business. And whatever happens now is just gravy to me."
Shaffer, 62, got his start in entertainment as the musical director for the Toronto production of Godspell and went on to become a member of the Saturday Night Live house band. He also released two solo albums and co-wrote and co-produced the 1984 hit song "It's Raining Men."
Shaffer joined up with Letterman in 1982 for the launch of Late Night With David Letterman on NBC, leading the World's Most Dangerous Band. In 1993, he made the move with Letterman to CBS for Late Show, where he leads the CBS Orchestra, after NBC passed Letterman over for the Tonight Show hosting job in favor of Jay Leno.
STORY: Obama Interview Drives 'Late Show With David Letterman' to 2-Year High
Shaffer earns a reported $5 million for his Late Show gig.
Despite the fact that he's considering leaving his longtime cohort, he has nothing but praise for Letterman, calling him the "quickest guy in show business."
Reps for Late Show have yet to comment.

Freshman Focus: Cole Luke
Jul 10, 2013, 1:29 PM EDT
If Notre Dame was looking to solidify the cornerback position during the last recruiting cycle, they found their headliner in Arizona's Cole Luke. With size, speed and technique that ranks among the best in the country, signing Luke was the type of recruiting surprise that Irish fans have started to get used to under Brian Kelly.
Playing for former Irish quarterback Steve Belles at the powerhouse program at Hamilton, Luke had his choice of elite programs before surprising many by leaving the Southwest and heading to South Bend.
While the top of the depth chart is pretty well stocked, wearing the No. 3 jersey usually means something special for the Irish. Let's take a closer look at one of the newest cornerbacks on campus.
Put simply, Luke's offer lists is one of the more impressive in the country. With official visits to Texas and Oklahoma, and interest from a dozen other elite programs, there's no wonder that Luke is among the top prospects at his position, and one of the top players in Arizona.
Depending on the recruiting service, Luke is a fringe Top 100 player, though listed in just about everyone's top 150. Long, lean, and skilled cornerbacks that play at elite programs tend to be highly sought after. His offers and the rankings reflect that.
After talking to people in and around the program, most expect Luke to make his way into the two-deep depth chart almost immediately. While Bennett Jackson, KeiVarae Russell and Lo Wood seem to be a solid 1-2-3, after that Luke is just as likely to see the field as untested players like Josh Atkinson or Jalen Brown.
How the coaching staff expects to utilize nickel and dime packages will likely be determined by how prepared the youth infused into this secondary will be come late August. But there's every belief that Luke is one of the more technically skilled prospects in this class, and he's got pedigree for days.
While he's not the biggest guy physically, you expect Luke to be ready athletically almost immediately, though whether he needs time to grow into college football like Eilar Hardy or immediately make an impact like KeiVarae Russell remains to be seen.
The sky is the limit for Luke. When you look at the opportunities that come after Bennett Jackson leaves the program, Luke has the opportunity to fight for a spot in the starting lineup — or defending in the slot — from the start, with the boundary cornerback job up for grabs in 2014.
There's so much to like about Luke. The staff believes he's a versatile cornerback, a guy that can play comfortably in a Cover 2 or walk up and play press man coverage. He's got great football lineage, with his uncle Darren Woodson putting together a Pro Bowl and Super Bowl winning career as one of the most versatile defensive backs in football. Woodson helped guide Luke through the recruiting process, and as it's happened with a lot of pro athletes' family members, that's come up golden for Notre Dame.
Still, projecting a cornerback's career at Notre Dame hasn't exactly been the easiest process. Elite recruits like Darren Walls and Gary Gray walked winding roads throughout their careers in South Bend, and "future stars" like Clifford Jefferson remind you how star rankings don't always predict the future. But Luke is an immediate talent infusion to the cornerback position, and while guys like Devin Butler and Rashad Kinlaw have some learning to do, Luke comes in with a head start.
Video Roundup from Spring Practice

Bars and Nelson impressing at left guard
Mar 26, 2015, 1:37 PM EDT
Matt Hegarty's unexpected departure opened up a job along the offensive line. With fifth-year center Nick Martin back in the middle, Hegarty choosing to go somewhere else to play center opened up the competition at left guard.
Expectations for Jerry Tillery sky high
Mar 25, 2015, 1:17 PM EDT
Jerry Tillery's recruitment was anything but ordinary. Long committed to the Irish, Notre Dame held off LSU, with Les Miles and the Tigers' coaching staff doing everything they could to talk the local product into staying home.

Elston ready to make his mark on Notre Dame recruiting

Running back Tony Jones Jr. commits to Irish
Mar 22, 2015, 3:23 PM EDT
This weekend's Junior Day netted another recruit, with Notre Dame's coaching staff accepting the commitment of Florida running back Tony Jones Jr. The IMG Academy runner was in South Bend this weekend, and is the first running back in the fold for the Irish in the 2016 class.
Junior Day nets commitments from Julian Love, John Shannon
Mar 21, 2015, 8:37 PM EDT
Notre Dame's 2016 recruiting class took a big step forward on Saturday, gaining commitments from cornerback Julian Love and long snapper John Shannon. Both Love and Shannon pledged their commitment after receiving offers this afternoon from the Irish staff.
2016 recruiting begins with weekend Junior Day
Mar 20, 2015, 1:41 PM EDT
Notre Dame's coaching staff begins their 2016 recruiting efforts this weekend with its first on-campus Junior Day. While the reshuffled staff had an opportunity to hit the road in February, the Irish coaches will host their first major recruiting event of the spring this weekend.
Jeff Quinn officially joins staff as offensive analyst
Mar 19, 2015, 1:30 PM EDT
When Notre Dame announced Brian Kelly's reshuffled coaching staff, one name many expected to be part of the release wasn't. Former Buffalo head coach Jeff Quinn—an offensive coordinator and line coach for Kelly for decades—had been long rumored for a staff position, but wasn't part of Kelly's reshuffled team of assistants.

Notre Dame, Ball State set to meet in 2018
Mar 16, 2015, 4:27 PM EDT
It looks as if another piece of Notre Dame's non-ACC football scheduling has come into place. Ball State has announced an agreement to play at Notre Dame Stadium in early September of 2018, likely locking in the Irish's second opponent of the season.
The road to a successful 2015 season is just getting started
Mar 16, 2015, 2:37 PM EDT
After Notre Dame's men won an improbable ACC basketball title, the team and their head coach did little to shy away from their difficulties in the NCAA tournament.
#NotDoneYet adorns every tweet coming from the team's official account, and likely serves as a mantra for a team that's shown flashes of brilliance during regular seasons past, but too often became pumpkins in mid-March.
Notre Dame Mailbag: It's all about the Quarterbacks

Mar 11, 2015, 2:33 PM EDT

No change to CFB Playoff a good thing for Notre Dame
Mar 10, 2015, 2:53 PM EDT

My daughter-in-law Brittany tasted this sopapilla cheesecake at a wedding and said it was the best thing ever. My step-son Jason is a world class lover of all things "cheesecake" and he gave it a thumbs up!
I looked at the recipe, the ingredients were very basic. It took practically no time at all to throw together so I gave it a shot. It was instant love.
There's something about the butter on top of the crescent dough, sprinkled with all of that cinnamon and sugar and then baked to a perfect crisp that gives it that "sopapilla" spin and that's a hard thing to even think about changing. But…it seems as though the minute I tried this deliciousness, it was all over facebook in various forms.
One friend says she omits the sugar in the cream cheese and spreads strawberry jam over the each layer with just a sprinkling of sugar on the top crust. Yum! Another has used pureed pumpkin and turned this into a pumpkin cheesecake of sorts. She said it was off the charts and I can't wait to give it a try next fall.
My point is that the variations are endless with this basic template of cream cheese, crescent rolls, sugar and vanilla. For now, however, this is the one I'm sticking with because I think it's always the answer when I need a fast and easy dessert. It keeps quite well in the refrigerator so it's perfect for a weekend dinner party and then it makes a nice sweet treat to have around the house later in the week. But in my house a 9 x 13 pan lasts 3 days tops…they're just too addicting!
This is a Pillsbury recipe but Brittany found the step by step instructions on another blog called Cookies & Cups.

Douglas Farah: Muammar al-Qaddafi ... Harvard for Tyrants
Col. Muammar al-Qaddafi is well known now for the abuses he has inflicted on his own people during more than four decades of brutal rule in Libya, but few remember the vast campaign of carnage and terrorism he orchestrated across West Africa and Europe when he was at the height of his powers.
Nor are his more recent alliance with Hugo Chávez of Venezuela and his long-standing relationship with Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua -- both of whom are busy trampling their constitutions and moving toward dictatorship -- well understood. And the fact that all three governments support the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a terrorist group that produces more than half of the world's cocaine and two-thirds of the cocaine entering the United States, is usually ignored.
Ortega and Chávez are among the handful of leaders to publicly defend the Libyan leader's attacks on his own people and urge him to hang on for one last revolutionary battle. In 2004, Qaddafi awarded Chávez the al-Qaddafi International Prize for Human Rights, created by the Libyan dictator. Chávez, who in turn bestowed Venezuela's highest civilian honor on Qaddafi in 2009 while comparing him to South American liberator Simón Bolívar, has now offered publicly to mediate the Libyan conflict. Thus far, only Qaddafi has reportedly accepted the offer.

Why only Left-oriented dictators are blamed for all evils in the world, in general, and supporting Gaddafi regime, in particular, while the west-oriented dictators, some of which were much more
deadly are effectively excused, or at least, "forgotten"?
Why Ortega, e.g. who was twice elected through democratic process, under strict
international observation, or Chavez, thrice elected the same way, who both allow opposition to exist and freely (or almost freely) propagate its political views and platforms are proclaimed dictators by the US mainstream media and political pundits, but the political leaders they once replaced (such as fascist Somosa who did not allow any opposition and parties) have been supported by the same knights of democracy and freedom?
