UK Experience Sparks Chemistry Alumna's Research on Traumatic Brain Injuries
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 23, 2015) — Concussions and brain injury have become topics of social concern in response to controversies involving sports — namely the National Football League. But Tanea Reed, who earned her doctorate from the Department of Chemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Kentucky, has been researching therapeutic interventions in traumatic brain injury since long before concussions became matters of public concern.
While Reed's research predates popular interest in issues related to traumatic brain injury, she says her interest in this field is a direct result of her time spent working on her doctorate at UK — specifically her time in Patrick Sullivan's laboratory at the Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Center.
"I had no interest before working at UK. This all sparked after I started on the project at UK and saw the impact this could have. That's my research focus now — looking at therapeutic strategies for helping individuals after they've had an injury," Reed explained.
Reed earned her bachelor's at Virginia Tech, where she engaged in research on biomedical breakthroughs. She then came to UK to pursue her doctorate, and during her time at UK she also worked in a laboratory with Allan Butterfield researching protein profiles as indicators for the development of Alzheimer's disease.
"Allan Butterfield was a great mentor. He encouraged me to apply for an international award for research, and I won it and got to present my work in Italy. I would have never done that on my own," she said.
For Reed, the impact of her time at UK has as much to do with the cooperative atmosphere of the department as it does with exposure to new research fields. "One of the most important things was just the community aspect of working in a research lab where you're in the same environment with like-minded individuals who have the same goals you do," she said. "There is a built-in community of support."
In the fall of 2014, Reed helped form the Chemistry Alumni Board, a group aiming to help alumni stay connected with the UK chemistry department and promote the work done by department graduates. "So many different alumni are all over the world doing chemistry and science, and nobody knows about it. One of the reasons for the network is to keep chemistry alumni involved with what's going on in the department," Reed explained.
"When you're in graduate school you're in close proximity and you make really good friendships and relationships. But when you graduate that sadly ends. Fixing that is really the focus of the alumni board," she continued.
Reed is currently an associate professor at Eastern Kentucky University (EKU), where she specializes in proteomics (the study of the structures and functions of proteins), Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury. She says she was planning on working as a research scientist before her experiences as a tutor near the end of her studies at UK.
"I was working with students and really started enjoying it, to see that light bulb moment where they really start to understand what something means and how ideas connect. After that I thought I wanted to go into teaching," she explained. After leaving UK, Reed taught at Berea College before moving on to EKU — coincidentally filling a position previously held by a co-researcher from Allan Butterfield's lab at UK.
She finds her work at EKU particularly rewarding because smaller classes help her connect with students and because she has the chance to expand the institution's culture of research. The research side of Reed's work allows her to expose students to intellectual and professional opportunities they hadn't considered before.
"When you give them opportunities to do a project with you — that really unlocks a passion in research for different students. Then they apply to graduate school, they work as a research scientist — it really is a benefit to them," she said.
And for students interested in graduate research, Reed would encourage them to follow in her footsteps at UK's Department of Chemistry.
"UK is a great place to go to graduate school for the community aspect and the fact that they really want you to succeed — they want you to be the best you can be," Reed said.

UK Alum Takes Easter Oratorio on the Road
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 23, 2015) — When University of Kentucky alumnus Lorne Dechtenberg wrote his Easter oratorio, "King of Glory," in 2014, he hoped those who experienced the work in Lexington would enjoy it. As it turned out, not only did they enjoy it, but so did residents of other communities who began requesting performances as well. As a result, Dechtenberg and the Bluegrass Opera will present six performances of the work this Easter season in five different Kentucky towns.
The work tells the story of the crucifixion and resurrection through a musical journey that is designed to reach audiences on a visceral level, enabling them to experience the text in a new and vivid way. "It's like Handel's "Messiah" only it's meant for today's listeners instead of 18th-century ears," said Dechtenberg, who has been receiving praise for the work since its premiere last April.
The work features professional singers, auditioned from across a 200-mile swath of Kentucky (from Hodgenville to Hazard), with tight, colorful harmonies and warm, rich melodies that they hope will stay with listeners long after the performance ends.
Dechtenberg, who holds degrees from UK School of Music in composition and conducting, co-founded the Bluegrass Opera in 2008. In 2010, he and his "Honeymoon Symphony" were chronicled in the KET documentary "Composer at Work," an effort that brought together members of the Lexington Philharmonic, UK Symphony Orchestra, and the Lexington Community Orchestra for a premiere at UK's Singletary Center for the Arts.
In addition to Dechtenberg, "King of Glory" will feature several performers with ties to UK, including alumni Gordon Earl Thomas, Kaymon Murrah and Dena Sullivan Smith, as well as staff member Mike Bratcher, of UK HealthCare Information Technology.
"King of Glory" will be presented:
· 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at Actors' Playhouse of Georgetown;
· 2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 29, at Immanuel Baptist Church, in Lexington;
· 7:30 p.m. Sunday, March 29, at Union Church, in Berea;
· 7:30 p.m. Monday, March 30, at First Christian Church, in Frankfort;
· 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, at First Baptist Church, in Richmond; and
· 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 3, at Lexington Seventh Day Adventist Church.
Tickets for "King of Glory" are $20 for adults, $10 for students with a valid ID, and kids 12 and under get in free. Tickets can be ordered online at www.bluegrassopera.org or by phone at 859-940-9379.
The Bluegrass Opera is a nonprofit performing arts company that specializes in the performance of new and underperformed musical works for the stage – operas, musicals, and everything in between.

NIH-Funded Research Tackles Behavioral Disorders in Children, Delivers Training to Appalachia
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 23, 2015) — Children exhibiting disruptive behaviors are at a greater risk for antisocial behaviors, such as substance abuse and criminal activity, later in life. With the support of a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), University of Kentucky College of Public Health researcher Tina Studts, Ph.D, is partnering with health departments in rural Appalachia to increase parent's accessibility to programs to prevent behavioral disorders in children.
Studts, an assistant professor in the UK Department of Health Behavior, was recently awarded a three-year, $450,000 grant from NIMH to improve the delivery of behavioral parent training programs (BPT) in underserved communities. Studts is working with local health departments in the Cumberland Valley district, UK's Center of Excellence in Rural Health and Kentucky Homeplace to disseminate the training to families.
BPT programs are effective in preventing negative outcomes and public health consequences stemming from disruptive childhood behaviors. In Appalachian communities, limited access to BPT programs and a lack of engagement from parents in utilizing these program pose significant challenges to implementing evidence-based interventions. Mental health professional shortages exist in nearly 70 percent of Appalachian communities, where poverty rates are high and health disparities are significant.
"The need is great in many Appalachian communities for improved delivery of parenting interventions," Studts said."Parents in the Appalachian region frequently cite stigma as one of the barriers they navigate in seeking specialized care for their children suffering from mental health issues. Other cultural consideration can also come into play as well, including strong self-reliance and a preference for local providers. These can present major challenges to the delivery of BPT programs by mental health professionals in settings such as clinics."
Studts, who is completing her final year as a KL2 scholar with the UK Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS), initiated her research in BPT programs through a CCTS community-engaged pilot grant, "Preventing Conduct Disorder: Valuing Parent and Provider Perspectives in Appalachia." Aims of the pilot study were to establish a Community Advisory Board (CAB) in Perry County focused on early childhood mental health, and to assess parent and provider preferences regarding modality, location and interventionist of BPT in rural Appalachian communities. Guided by the board, Studts found parents preferred brief interventions delivered by local health workers, and that child service providers recognized the needs but lacked resources and staff to provide preventive BPT services in the community.
Studts' newly funded project will adapt the delivery method of a BPT program, the Family Check-Up, to be administered to families by community health workers instead of mental health professionals. The Family Check-Up is a brief preventative intervention designed to help parents address young children's challenging behaviors before they become more serious.
In collaboration with the Center of Excellence in Rural Health and the Perry County Early Childhood CAB, Studts and her team will adapt and pilot-test the training and intervention protocols of the Family Check-Up, assessing the feasibility, acceptability and costs of service delivery by existing community health workers in four under-resourced Appalachian counties. This study will provide the data and infrastructure needed for a future large-scale implementation trial of the Family Check-Up in underserved communities.

Kohl's Donates Nearly $90,000 to KCH Read to Your Baby Initiative
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 23, 2015) — Kohl's Department Stores recently donated $89,833 to Kentucky Children's Hospital (KCH) to support the Kohl's Read to Your Baby program, a hospital initiative encouraging parents read to their children during the earliest stages of life.
Dr. Donna Grigsby, chief of general pediatrics at KCH, has used these funds to raise public awareness by promoting the importance of reading to babies at events and making reading resources available to parents across the Commonwealth. The Kohl's Read to Your Baby program offers free children's books during infant and toddler storytimes at dozens of libraries across Kentucky. In addition to preparing children for future success in school, reading to infants and toddlers on a daily basis helps calm them and foster healthy parent-child bonding.
"Studies have shown that reading aloud to your infant is the single most important factor in helping your child's language development and love of reading," Grigsby said. "We are so grateful to Kohl's for their support of our mission to encourage families and caregivers to read to their babies."
Kohl's commitment to KCH is made possible through the Kohl's Cares cause merchandise program. Through this initiative, Kohl's sells $5 books and plush toys, and 100 percent of net profits benefits children's health and education programs nationwide, including hospital partnerships like the one with KCH. Kohl's has raised more than $274 million through this merchandise program. Kohl's has donated more than $1.2 million to KCH since 2000.

UK's Bagh Quoted in Wall Street Journal Story on NCAA Tournament Brackets
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 20, 2015) — Adib Bagh, assistant professor in the departments of mathematics and economics at the University of Kentucky, was recently quoted in a March 16 Wall Street Journal article examining office bracket pools for the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Bagh teaches Introduction to Game Theory at UK and applied his expertise to NCAA tournament brackets, saying, "If you really believe that everyone else is following the same rule of thumb…then you have an incentive to deviate from that rule of thumb."
Even as a game theorist, knowing he could win bigger if his bracket was unlike the majority's, Bagh's pick is still UK.
"Game theory or no game theory," he said, "my money is on the Wildcats."

(March 19, 2015) — Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack joined Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear and University of Kentucky officials today to announce the establishment of the USDA Rural Child Poverty Nutrition Center at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. The center will use cutting-edge solutions in child nutrition to reduce child food insecurity in states with the highest number of persistently poor rural counties. Currently, about 85 percent of all persistently poor counties in the United States are in rural areas, and children are one of the most vulnerable groups living in rural areas.
"The Rural Child Poverty Nutrition Center underscores this administration's focus on addressing poverty and food insecurity among children in rural areas where hunger and obesity are too common," said Vilsack. "The center will make it possible for children in rural areas to access much-needed nutrition assistance and help close the large food insecurity gap between urban and rural communities."
"This program will target child hunger and poverty in persistently poor rural communities by partnering with agencies who have the resources and expertise to make a difference," said Gov. Beshear. "This program will do more than offer aid. It will attack the root causes of child hunger and poverty."
"In the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, part of our core mission as a land grant institution is to improve the lives of our citizens," said Dean Nancy Cox. "We are honored the USDA has chosen us to be their partner in this extremely important endeavor to reduce child food insecurity in persistently poor rural counties in Kentucky and several other states."
With USDA's investment of $2.5 million, the Rural Child Poverty Nutrition Center will administer and evaluate a series of sub-grants targeted to as many as 30 rural areas with high poverty rates in up to 15 states. The communities will use the funds to better coordinate existing child nutrition programs and create solutions to target child food insecurity. The University of Kentucky will partner with Altarum Institute and the Southern Rural Development Center to develop the center.
This announcement is part of the Obama administration's continuing efforts to combat poverty and food insecurity among children, especially in rural areas. In Kentucky alone, over 26 percent of children live in poverty. In 2014, President Obama designated Eastern Kentucky as a Promise Zone, to receive integrated federal efforts to create jobs, increase economic security, expand educational opportunities, increase access to quality, affordable housing and improve public safety through local community partnerships. Seventy-three counties in Kentucky are also part of the USDA's StrikeForce for Rural Growth and Opportunity, a strategic approach to addressing the unique set of challenges faced by many of America's poorest rural communities.
USDA's Food and Nutrition Service administers America's nutrition assistance programs, including the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, the Child and Adult Care Food Program, the Summer Food Service Program, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Together these programs make up the federal nutrition safety net. USDA's focus on nutrition and obesity is also an important component of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative to combat childhood obesity.

Key Agency Upgrades UK's Credit Rating Reflecting Financial Strength, Growing Reputation
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 19, 2015) — A national agency has upgraded the University of Kentucky's credit rating, reflecting the institution's increasing enrollment, strong health care system and growing reputation.
Standard & Poor's, one of the country's major credit ratings agencies, recently upgraded the university's bond rating from AA- to AA. The upgrade is occurring as many institutions across the country have faced challenging financial circumstances and, in some cases, a downgrade in ratings.
"This endorsement of our direction from a national credit ratings agency underscores that the vision our Board of Trustees and others have for this institution is a compelling and strong one," said UK President Eli Capilouto. "The work of so many — in administration, enrollment management, our faculty and staff, and at UK HealthCare — is reflected in this endorsement of UK's expanding reputation as a vibrant, residential public research university."
In particular, S&P cited UK's increasing enrollment, revenue diversity aided by a strong health care system, financial performance and low debt burden. The agency also cited the university's strong governance and management as well as continued philanthropic support. UK had a record first-year class this year of nearly 5,200 students and, for the first time, more than 30,000 students overall. UK HealthCare patient volumes are expected to be more than 35,000 this year and the university has initiated some $1.5 billion in construction in recent years, including the recent approval by the state of a $265 million multi-disciplinary research building focused on the state's health disparities. UK is paying half the cost of the facility.
In fact, in a news release about the upgrade, S&P said:
"UK, although at the moment getting a lot of attention for its undefeated
basketball team as the March madness national conference playoffs are
underway, is in our view increasingly being recognized for its role as a
comprehensive research-based university that according to management now pulls
almost 40% of its freshman students from out of state. Also, UK's health
system known as UK HealthCare is gaining national recognition for clinical
care in a number of disciplines including its Markey Cancer Center that in
2013 was designated by the National Cancer Institute as a comprehensive cancer
center, one of only a very limited number of such centers nationally. In
addition, the health system enjoys generally rising patient utilization and
increasing health services market share as it continues to draw more patients
from a wider area for its services."
"Those words, by knowledgeable experts who closely follow our industry, say so much about what we are doing together as the university for Kentucky," Capilouto said.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 23, 2015) — As University of Kentucky students complete their final projects, many of them must go beyond simply writing papers — making presentations in front of the class.
Utilizing video in coursework is becoming more and more common for students across a wide variety of majors and minors. Fortunately, resources are available to students regardless of their level of experience. Media Depot, located in The Hub @ WT's inside the William T. Young Library, is one of those resources.

The "Where I 'see blue." video feature is part of a special series produced by UKNow focusing on locations across campus that are meaningful for UK students, administrators, faculty, staff and alumni. The idea is to show how the physical spaces on campus help foster discovery, community, research, knowledge and success for the UK family. As the university celebrates its 150th anniversary, we want to show readers what our campus is like today by showcasing locations that have stood for decades along with some of our newest spots.
Since the "Where I 'see blue.'" video series is now a monthly feature on UKNow, we invite you to submit future ideas. If there's an obscure spot on campus you don't think many people know about or an area that's on everyone's radar but you have a special connection to it, email us. Who knows? We might just choose your suggestion for our next feature!

UK College of Dentistry Students Bring Home Two 2015 ADEA Preventive Dentistry Scholarships
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 19, 2015) - University of Kentucky College of Dentistry students Lauren Morris and Mike McQuinn are two of only 13 dental students in the nation to be awarded the 2015 American Dental Education Association (ADEA) Preventive Dentistry Scholarship. The award, presented annually, is given to support predoctoral dental students who have demonstrated academic excellence in preventive dentistry.
Morris, a fourth-year student, and McQuinn, a third-year student, will each receive $2,500 to be applied to their tuition and fees for predoctoral dental study.
"With only 13 of these scholarships being awarded, it is a real honor for two UKCD students to receive this honor," said Sharon Turner, dean UK College of Dentistry.
Scholarship recipients were required to demonstrate a strong interest in preventive dentistry through their personal activities and achievements, possess a superior academic record and be nominated by their school's dean.
"When I decided that my goal and passion in life was to become a dentist, I knew this career would provide me with the opportunity to make a positive impact on the oral health of my community and state. I'm hopeful that my research on post-operative care compliance of pediatric patients will lead to changes that will enable more children to obtain preventative dental care and education in the future," said Morris. "I'm truly honored to receive this prestigious scholarship supporting dental students who have demonstrated academic achievements in preventive dentistry."
"It is truly an honor to receive the Preventative Dentistry Scholarship from the American Dental Education Association. The fact that two students out of the thirteen selected nationally attend the University of Kentucky speaks to the fact that we, as students, are truly blessed to have an amazing group of faculty and staff providing us with the best education and mentorship available. The hard work and dedication that they invest in us will continue to open up opportunities for us to serve as the top scholars, clinicians and philanthropists in our field," McQuinn stated.

Drink between: 2008 - 2024 (Add My Dates)
How do you say rock star? On this night, you said with 1998 Guigal La Landonne! Full bodied, fresh, lively, intense, pure, long, mouth filling and balanced, with a nose that never stopped and a finish that lasted even longer. Still young, the wine clearly improved with air. Wait another 5 or more years, or give it 2 hours of air.
Drank in Hong Kong
Had along side a '98 Grange, what a nice way to try old Vs new world. Both were beautiful but this just has some more class and finesse. Wonderful stuff.
Drank for the second time within 48 hours, though 13.000 kilometers apart. How lucky can a wine-lover be? Based on the earlier experience, wine was opened 12 hours and double decanted 4 hours before drinking. This did not open the wine completely, but the impressive intensity and purity stood out from the first sip. See tasting note below. This wine will be a stunner for 30+ years. The contrast with its sexy, approachable and utterly pleasant 1998 La Turque sister is striking.
A private tasting and dinner (Bilthoven): Double decanted. 100% Syrah. Very youthful, extremely energetic and concentrated, incredibly pure and powerful but completely closed, fabulous fruit, needs decades, an essence of Côte Rôtie. I could imagine this wine achieving perfection in 10 - 20 years.
Drank together with La Turque 1998. Opened 8 hours before and decanted just before drinking over the course of 3 hours. Stunning wine, clearly too young, initially closed, but gradually opening up. Though certainly massive, it's a mammoth on ballet shoes, elegant and gracious. Typical shiraz notes of spice box and black pepper. Lots of black fruit: huge blackberry and raspberry scents, later also creme de cassis, strawberry and some lighter, fresher hints of mint and citrus. Gradually deepening, smoke, bacon, juicy meat, smoked ham (pata negra!) taking over. After 3 hours in the decanter Cuban cigars, cedar, figs, ripe plums, tar and earth. Fresh with good acidity. All signs say this wine can still improve over the course of the next 20+ years. Can't wait to be around when it happens!

Boston University School of Medicine's CityLab Academy Graduation a Success
Contact: Michelle Roberts, 617-639-8491 | email@example.com
(Boston)—Thirty-one students graduated from Boston University School of Medicine's (BUSM) CityLab Academy today. CityLab Academy is a free nine-month academic and laboratory skills training program for qualified high school graduates interested in pursuing a career and further education in biotechnology.
Guest speakers at the ceremony included Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, Karen Antman, MD, provost of BU Medical Campus and BUSM dean and Neil Sullivan, executive director of Boston Private Industry Council.
"I'm glad to be here and support Citylab because it's an investment in you, all of you. BU made a commitment to helping Boston succeed in the life science field. We continue to make gains toward humanity and expanding Boston in competitive roles in a global economy. Life science is the future of Boston. You're starting right on the ground floor. The future is yours. Whatever you decide to do, you will be successful," said Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino.
The students earned a certificate in Biomedical Laboratory Science, which qualifies them for job opportunities created by the new laboratories being built on the medical campus including the Level 4 National Emerging Infectious Diseases laboratory and the growing biotech industry in Boston.
Addressing the graduates, Neil Sullivan, executive director of Boston Private Industry Council stated, "You have the skills necessary to participate in a vibrant expansion of Boston's science sector. You represent our neighborhoods as well as so many cultures from around the world. Boston is becoming an international city. Your future and Boston's economic future are one in the same," said Sullivan.
Boston University announced in 2004 that it would contribute $1 million to expand the program and provide funds for 100 Boston residents to attend CityLab Academy. The program is free as Boston University covers the students' tuition, supplies and other expenses.
At the conclusion of the semester, students receive 12 Boston University credits. Some choose to continue their education; others receive job placement assistance from Boston University.
Classes will begin this September, to learn more about the program visit www.bumc.bu.edu/citylabacademy.

PepsiCo returned to the headlines last month, when it announced its plans to buy a major stake in Russian juice company Lebedyansky. The transaction, for a 75% stake in the company - which accounts for 30% of the country's juice market - marked a clear statement of intent for the company in the emerging markets of the world. In the second part of this month's just-drinks interview, PepsiCo International's chairman and CEO, Mike White, tells Olly Wehring of the company's approach in the developing markets, and considers the effect of the current economic climate on the soft drinks giant.

The boards rave about OEL, I never read you or anybody else complain about his shooting percentage.
DZ has produced 37+ points in 3 out of his 4 years in the league, yet doesn't get the respect he deserves because some on this board decided he is the whipping boy in vogue, and keep repeating the non sense of "he misses the net and has no hockey IQ" based on no facts whatsoever.
IMO it says a lot more about them than about DZ.
My point was that he doesn't have all the tools right now to be a PPQB. I am far from the only one that holds this opinion, (and it being a popular opinion doesn't make it wrong). Brian Boyle was the whipping boy, and I defended him at every chance. I had my gripes with Torts also, but I defended him also when I thought he wasn't in the wrong. I think I've given relatively neutral opinions about this team, (except Brassard, of course), not everyone who disagrees with you is just "repeating memes".
Stats don't lie, but they are easily misconstrued. How can you rate hockey IQ based on facts? You can't base your opinion solely on stats either, because they don't tell the whole story. It's not your stats I refuse, it's your way of using them.
Anyway thanks for the article, I did agree with it's general points.
