Aggie fans won the right for one of the most popular sports programs on television to shoot a commercial at Texas A&M. Thursday, it debuted.
ESPN College Gameday's promo, shot late on July 31 and into the early morning of August 1, has been posted to YouTube. It will air on television beginning Monday and throughout the season to promote the network's Saturday college football pregame show.
In the commercial, the thousands of Aggies who turned out to Kyle Field are seen reenacting a Midnight Yell Practice led by Yell Leaders. Most of the College Gameday crew and A&M Head Football Coach Kevin Sumlin are seen looking on and discussing the tradition.
Gameday analyst and former coach Lee Corso walks in wearing pajamas and holding a stuffed animal. After complaining about the noise, he walks back to a tent set up on Kyle Field next to a smaller tent where Reveille VIII is laying inside.
According to ESPN, nearly a million online votes were cast in the contest that wrapped up in May. It pitted 124 schools' fan bases against each other to see who could get the most support for the commercial. More than 200,000 votes came in for A&M.
"The GameDay Vote contest and the Midnight Yell GameDay spot are a really big step for this iconic franchise," said Scott Parker, vice president for ESPN marketing, in a statement. "From fans selecting the location of the shoot to thousands of A&M students participating in the spot, the campaign really captures the unique, interactive, on-campus experience of College Gameday in a brand new way."
The first edition of College Gameday this season will take place in Texas, as Michigan and Alabama face off at the Cowboys Classic in Arlington.
A&M last hosted an episode of College Gameday in 2006 for the Oklahoma game. During the show, analyst Kirk Herbstreit called the Aggies the best student section in all of college football, a soundbite played by A&M's 12th Man TV before every game at Kyle Field.
The Aggies open their season September 8 on ESPN against Florida in the team's first SEC game.

All of this vegetable wonderfulness gets simmered up in some chicken broth, which is thickened with a little flour and spiced with a little poultry seasoning. After that, all that's left to do is stir in some cooked shredded chicken and the pasta, and voila! A springtime version of chicken pot pie. Because it's important to celebrate springtime in every way we can.
Serves: 4 servings
- 8 ounces short pasta (penne, campagnelle, ziti, etc)
- 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
- 1 leek, light green and white part only, cut in half lengthwise and sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup sliced celery
- 1 cup diced carrots
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 cups chicken broth (I like the Pacific and Imagine brands in the box)
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions. Save ½ cup of the pasta water and drain.
- Melt butter in a large deep skillet. Add leeks, carrots and celery and stir for three minutes.
- Add flour and stir until it is mixed into the vegetables. Add broth and bring to a boil, stirring.
- Add poultry seasoning and reduce heat. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in chicken until heated through. Add pasta and stir. If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little of the reserved pasta water and serve at once.

'Call of Cthulhu' as a Dr. Seuss book
I would so read this on a boat with a goat. DeviantART's DrFaustusAU dares bring R'lyeh's famous monster to comical light with The Call of Cthulhu, a Dr. Seuss spin on the H.P.

North Carolina legislators who have not shown much of a penchant for listening to the views of their constituents in recent weeks would do well to pay closer attention to what one select group of constituents is saying regarding proposed legislation that would allow guns on college and university campuses across the state.
That small group — the police chiefs of all 17 campuses of the University of North Carolina system — is dead-set against the portion of House Bill 937 that would allow handguns on university property, from Cullowhee in the west to Elizabeth City in the east. Many of the police chiefs traveled to Raleigh recently to voice their opposition, and all of them signed a statement expressing their concerns with the bill as currently written.

On the server side, virtualized infrastructures are proving to be a direct on-ramp into cloud computing, and cloud computing starts with a private cloud for most large organizations. In addition, IDC is closely tracking and forecasting the dramatic acceleration of client virtualization deployment and the emerging workspace-as-a-service market. IDC believes this market is poised for an explosion over the next few years, driven in part by the consumerization of IT and the continued explosion of the mobile device market. Cloud and Virtualization System Software explores both the server-to-cloud transition and the market for delivery and management of virtualized desktop and virtualized server resources.

Spain and Australia are shoring up their maritime cooperation through an agreement to send a Spanish Navy ship to operate with the Royal Australian Navy next year. The decision enhances the existing relationship between the nations, while emphasizing the importance of stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
TechNet Asia-Pacific 2012 Features
Cybersecurity remains the foremost concern for the man tasked with overseeing U.S. military communications technology in the Asia-Pacific area as the national defense strategy shifts focus to that region of the globe. New opportunities for technologies and programs are opening, but cyber issues continue to hold top billings in importance, and moves to shore up operations predate the recent official guidance.
Cutting-edge warfighter technologies, ranging from nanoscience products to micro air vehicles, are advancing through the combined efforts of multinational top researchers within the Asia-Pacific region. This technical collaboration is driven in part by a U.S. Air Force research and development office in Tokyo, which is building international relationships while optimizing the intellectual talent within one of the world's most active arenas for scientific breakthroughs.
The new U.S. strategic thrust toward the Asia-Pacific region is boosting longtime efforts in both coalition building and force projection. Bilateral alliances are evolving into multinational operations, and U.S. forces are increasing their forward deployed presence in quantity and capability.
Recent improvements in Chinese destroyer technology have opened the door for greatly expanded surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, particularly for undersea operations. Advances range from new power plants and weapons to radars and sonars that provide versatility known to other modern navies. Many of these upgrades involve long-overdue improvements in warship operations. Electronics and missile advances acting synergistically are enabling new shipboard defense systems. But new sensor suites, particularly in sonars, are changing the nature of Chinese naval missions.

After toasting to the anti-douchebags in her "Raise Your Glass" video, P!nk treads similar thematic ground in her brand new video, "F****** Perfect." Only this time around, she does a 180 from the light "Don't get fancy / just get dance-y" message of that party jam and, instead, reminds the section of her fanbase that are suffering from the repercussions of having a negative self-image that things do, indeed, get better.
The song recalls the likes of R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts" and Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful," other powerful anthems that carried an empowerment message meant to remind us all that no matter how dire things may seem, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. "F****** Perfect" follows the plight of a young woman (actress Tina Majorino, who you might recall from Napoleon Dynamite) who has been bullied by both teachers and mean girls while growing up and found the pressure to be "cool" overwhelming to the point where she considers taking her own life. We won't spoil the ending of the video for you but, suffice to say, our protagonist does finally find an outlet where her talents can shine.
Before we let you go, we'd like to pass along this personal note from none other than P!nk herself about why the subject matter of this song and video is so important to her:

Here Comes Everybody*
Thanks to a post on the A-list blog TechCrunch late Friday night, Britannica's WebShare program is getting a lot of attention this weekend. We've been swamped with requests for free subscriptions, and we're processing them as quickly as we can. We do look at each one, so the screening process is not entirely programmatic, but no one should have to wait more than about 24 hours (3-4 business days; please see update below) between applying for a free sub at our registration page and receiving an answer from us.
The majority of the people who have applied so far, by the way, have qualified and are receiving subscriptions.
If you have any problems with or questions about your subscription or the registration process, please send us an e-mail about it. (Update: Please also write to us if you've applied for a subscription and haven't heard back from us in 36 hours a week or longer.)
Many people have noticed and commented on our widgets. We only have a few posted here right now, but many more are on the way, and we'll get them up here as quickly as we can. Please come back.
NB: One issue I've noticed with some of our widgets is that under some circumstances they may not display properly in Internet Explorer 6. (Okay, "issue" is a euphemism; problem is the right word.). We're looking into this and would welcome any reports about your own experience. Thanks.
* Apologies to Clay Shirky.
Update (4/25): I may have overpromised about the 24-hour turnarond. We're getting a lot of applications, and since they go through some screening by human beings, it's taking time. In general we will try to respond to applicants within two business days, though right now, while we're getting a surge of applications, it may take a bit longer. Please be patient; we'll get to you. Thanks.

The purpose of the Criminal Justice internship is to provide you with a real world work experience in a criminal justice agency. Each internship credit is defined as being the equivalent of a 40-hour workweek. Therefore, for every internship credit scheduled, you must work 40 hours, i.e., 3 credits = 120 hours; 6 credits = 240 hours; 9 credits = 360 hours; and 12 credits = 480 hours. Undergraduate students must have earned 60 credits and have a 2.0 QPA. Graduate students must have earned 9 credits; have a 3.0 QPA; and are limited to a maximum of 6 credits.
Internship supervision will be the responsibility of two individuals: an academic advisor and an agency supervisor. The academic advisor will be assigned by the Department chair and may not be the faculty member you see for schedule advising. The agency supervisor is the agency employee assigned to you by the agency for field supervision.
a. Criminal Background Check - PA State Police Request Form (SP4-164)
b. Child Abuse Clearance - PA Clearance Form (CY-113)
c. Professional Liability Insurance*
*Some students may obtain a rider from their parents insurance company which will cover professional liability. Another type of insurance is part of the American Psychological Association (APA).
Go to http://www.apait.org/ and pay $35 for the liability insurance that covers you for $1,000,000 per incident, $3,000,000 in the aggregate.

By the end of Friday each week, students should submit an e-mail summary of the week's activities to the academic advisor. Place your weekly summary in the body of your e-mail, not as an attachment. The weekly e-mail summary should be structured as follows:
The academic advisor will then respond with specific questions or observations designed to facilitate critical analysis, integration of concepts, and an appreciation of different perspectives and alternatives. This requirement allows weekly monitoring of student activities and provides a continuous series of opportunities for faculty to help students gain maximum value from the field experience.
The title page of the paper is to include: student name, agency name, and the name of the agency supervisor. The minimum length of the paper is ten pages. The title page is not to be included in the page count. The paper is due no later than one week after the last day of your internship. An end-of-term paper is required and will be structured as follows:
A. Brief overview of the agency, including:
Type of agency (local, state, federal, law enforcement, court, corrections, and any relevant descriptive information).Location (including address).Size of the agency (number of personnel, offenders, geographical area served, and any descriptive information
A. Brief overview of the agency, including:
A. Expected Employee Behavior:

Your grade for the internship will be Pass or Fail. Your academic advisor determines your grade. The grade is based satisfactory weekly e-mail summaries, satisfactory completion of an end-of-internship paper, and a satisfactory Evaluation from your agency supervisor. The academic advisor will call the agency supervisor to discuss your internship experience.
The professions of Counseling and College Student Personnel, Criminal Justice, Educational Leadership and Policy, Exercise Science, Military Science, Teacher Education, and Social Work/Gerontology comprise the College of Education and Human Services. This College is charged with upholding a learning environment in which faculty, administration, staff, and students work together to develop a lifetime commitment to being of service to others. Together, we define who we are and who we aspire to become as members of the College of Education and Human Services community.
Each of the professions represented in the College are guided by ethical codes of professional practice enforced through the prescribed channels of its profession. We acknowledge and respect the individual codes and standards of ethical conduct that are prescribed by the disciplines of the College. From these codes our College has created a unifying ideal that consists of seven ethical statements of principle. These statements reflect the fundamental belief that intraprofessional collaboration provides a more comprehensive service system to children, families, clients, students, and institutions than individual disciplines acting in isolation. The administration and faculty of this College believe that it is important to actively uphold the following standards of ethical conduct throughout their careers:
Honoring, and dignifying ourselves and others;Valuing differences among and between us;Advocating for and acting to attain social justice;Using discretion vested in the privileges of our positions appropriately;Performing our jobs at the highest standard;Upholding the trust of those with whom we work;Respecting the work of other professionals
Individually, in order that others may know who I am, what I believe, and know of my works, I, with all others here, will be accountable for the privileges and responsibilities that accompany my membership in the College of Education and Human Services.
The purpose of the internship is to provide the student with an opportunity to apply and evaluate academic experience in a professional setting; explore possible career choices; gain useful criminal justice experience, thus improving employment potential upon graduation; and provide a link between academia and the field for the purpose of improving knowledge and delivery of criminal justice services.
In criminal justice, all agencies are different and, therefore, it is impossible to delineate with great detail the responsibilities and the role an intern should play in a respective agency. In general, students should observe the professional work of an agency and to the extent possible, participate in that agency's work. While it is realized that from time to time an intern will be asked to answer phones, and perhaps provide the agency with some secretarial assistance, it is important for the agency to understand that these types of tasks should be the exception rather than the rule, and should not occur on a frequent basis.
Criminal Justice internships are unique in that issues of confidentiality, privacy, and personal integrity are so critical to appropriate functioning. Therefore, for a student to successfully complete an internship with a criminal justice agency, he/she must be able to demonstrate high levels of maturity and integrity. Additionally, Criminal Justice interns must possess emotional stability to the extent that unpleasant sites and situations (which are occasionally encountered) can be observed and dealt with in an appropriate manner.
To facilitate good rapport with the chosen agency, interns must also have good listening and interpersonal skills.
In addition to possessing the above personality traits, all criminal justice interns should abide by the following rules:
The primary responsibility of the agency supervisor is to permit the student to observe the central functions of the agency. Other responsibilities of the agency supervisor are to schedule student's work; to mentor and direct the student's work; to evaluate the intern's work; and to ensure that the intern's experience is productive.
It is the responsibility of the student to immediately contact the academic advisor should he/she believe that the agency is not fulfilling major programmatic responsibilities, or if other issues arise that are deemed to be serious by the student. While no simple solutions exist for these types of problems, the academic advisor will work with the student to remedy the situation.
Should a student fail to fulfill his/her responsibilities, the internship may be terminated. Examples of infractions which may require action are: the student not showing up for assignments: engaging in behavior deemed inappropriate by the agency; engaging in illegal or immoral behavior, as determined by the agency; or not performing the duties as requested by the agency.

Does God look big in your preaching?
I'd particularly recommend John Piper's The Supremacy of God in Preaching, to anyone seeking to dig for diamonds instead of simply raking up leaves in their preaching. It's a great book for anyone involved in any kind of word ministry.
Piper draws us into the text to meet with God. He reminds us that we come only through the cross of Christ to the word of God. And he directs us to rub people's noses in the text, that they would come to savour Christ all the more.
Then, our preaching may become less concerned with self-help and self-interest. Then we might become more concerned with making God look big by way of the gospel. Then our preaching might become an act of Christ-exalting worship! As we gather before God to hear, by the Spirit, through a preacher, from the Bible.
It's a joy and a priviledge to be part of the church preaching team. Its something I feel pretty inadequate for and not something I ever imagined doing a few years ago. Now, taking that place in the body I want to direct people not to see me, but to see Christ. And, in my preparation for preaching I want to keep asking the question: Dave, does God look big in your preaching?
4 comments:
Thankyou for your encouraging comments and for stopping by and linking my site.ReplyDelete
I have not read Pipers book that you are presenting here but I want to take a look at it as sounds like it speaks to my heart.
Blessings in Christ Jesus!
I love the ESV... I find it hard to back to anything else. It's trustworthy- that it doesn't make interpetive decisions too much - this begs you to dig deeper with the text and engage with God's word.ReplyDelete
Since I'm not an active preacher (yet) God looking big in my preaching isn't directly applicable. But I guess I can ask "Does God look big in my life?" Does His glory, his love and his grace resound as supreme in my life?
Ouch... my prayer is that God would reign in me...
The "life" question is exactly the one we have to be asking. And that has to be far reaching. It has to affect the way that I work, rest and play.ReplyDelete
Big question is what does that mean in a tutorial or lecture theatre? What does that mean in an office or classroom? What does that mean over breakfast or dinner? What does that mean in front of the tv or while blogging?
I was first introduced to The Supremacy of God in Preaching 10 years ago. At the time I had no idea who John Piper was or what was ahead for me as I read his little paperback. God used it to change the entire trajectory of my life and ministry. It brought about a major paradigm shift in my view of living all of life as a Christian and my view of preaching the Christian Gospel.ReplyDelete

Natur are a four piece trad metal band from Brooklyn, New York, USA. Formed in 2008, Natur refer to themselves as "old metal." Head of Death is their debut full length on legendary metal label Earache Records. Their debut follows on from their self released demo, Spider Baby 7" and split 7" with Hessian.
The line up is as follows
Weibust - Rhythm Guitar/Lead Vocals
Dino - Lead Guitar
Sound Mound - Lead Bass Guitar
Tooth - Lead Drums / Backing Vocals
Dino - Lead Guitar
Sound Mound - Lead Bass Guitar
Tooth - Lead Drums / Backing Vocals
Given that my first introduction to buying vinyl was purchasing cheesy pop, by artists too embarrassing to mention on this here blog. I take comfort that my father just happened to have Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Frank Zappa for me to discover. Thank God!
That's the thing isn't it? Music is about stages or periods in your life, that shape and guide us as individuals. To truly embrace heavy music, it's about the process of dusting down that gatefold, cleaning your vinyl and hearing the crackles of your favourite record playing on your turntable, listening intently with your headphones on. Playing vinyl is about making the effort and taking the time to do something you enjoy, with the big pay off being that first burst of riffs.
So, when I pressed the play button on my iPod (how time have changed), Natur's music reminded me of such a time, Head of Death takes the listener on a nostalgia trip. A time of bell bottoms and beer. It's just plain old school metal, nothing flashy or showy, just balls to the wall, classic sounding riffage of yore, with Iron Maiden esque dual guitars, explosions of squealing lead guitar solos with a raw garage rock flavour. A tight and crisp guitar sound, with the droning bass and steadfast beat of the drums.
Head of Death is an album written by students of heavy metal for fans of heavy metal. Natur have delivered an enjoyable and cohesive album with flashes of thrash metal gusto and thunderous lead guitar solos, they are not blisteringly fast but they fit the tone of the songs beautifully. The album has an impeccable variety of riffs and it never gets boring. Weibust provides a powerful vocal delivery throughout the record and what is the strongest point on the record, is that you can hear every note of the galloped riffs. Whilst the album is not blisteringly heavy, it is hooky and gutsy and fun and just addictive. It is dark, eerie and atmospheric and at times it is just plain sinister.
The album just harks back to the age of flairs and long hair and denim. You can imagine yourself handling the gatefold. An album made as a tribute to their heroes, an ode to their influences and a timely reminder of what it meant to buy a record on the day of release. The anticipation of getting the record home and playing it for the first time, Head of Death makes you want to step back in time and remember where heavy metal started.
Whilst the songs on offer appear to follow a similar style, Natur are tight musicians and invoke a Gothic macabre vibe in terms of their lyrics, but occasionally mix things up with a beautiful acoustic guitar breakdowns or an excellent guitar solo. The riffs are simple but addictive, however the album is just infectious and a delight in as much as their obviously psyched to be playing the music they love. Head of Death is music to inspire future guitar heroes and a nostalgia trip you'll want to repeat again and again.

Below is the poem entitled PARADISE WHERE? which was written by poet
Webster. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Merv Webster
Us folks out here 'round Coalstoun Lakes we like to till the ground,
but when it comes to water ... well .. the prospects are not sound.
Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not, you live in hope each day,
then hallelujah ... from nowhere ... a prophet came our way.
"I've had a vision folks" Dean said, "brown water 'gainst a wall
and in your district too at that, it's bound to help you all.
A land of milk and honey folks is what you all will see
and soon you'll live in paradise as happy as can be."
For prophecies to come to light, you have to wait your turn,
perhaps a year, or maybe two, that's something we would learn.
Now folks 'round here are patient like and wouldn't mind the wait,
but Dean the paradise you saw was miles from here old mate.
While heading off on tour in April, we had problems with tyres near Coalstoun Lakes,
between Biggenden and Ban Ban Springs. We called in at a property where we met Debbie
Bird, who kindly let Chris stay with her while I went into Biggenden to replace the
damaged tyres. In December Debbie rang to say they were having a function where Dean
Collins, who works for the Department of Natural Resources, would be present. He had
worked in the Coalstoun Lakes area for some time apparently and had became well known
to the locals as he pursued the idea of putting a dam in the area which would benefit
folk on the land. Sadly, a dam was to be built and would be named Paradise dam, but not
anywhere near where it would help the Coalstoun Lakes folk. Debbie asked me if I'd pen a
few lines to use on the night, as a bit of a send up.

A dental apparatus for perforating the cortical plate of human maxillary and mandibular bones comprises a solid metal needle moulded into a plastics shank, the shank being formed with means for cooperation with a dental contra-angle or straight handpiece into which the shank may be inserted. The shank has a collar at its front end, and a hollow protective cap is removably fitted over the exposed needle and engages the collar.
1. A dental device for forming a perforation in the cortical plate of human maxillary and mandibular bones in order to permit intraosseous injection of local anesthetic solution, said dental device comprising:
a shank having a first end, formed with recess means for latching in a latching-type powered dental handpiece, and a second end;
a perforator needle extending from said shank second end and having a free end opposite said shank, the diameter of said perforator needle corresponding to the diameter of a dental injection needle, said free end being beveled to provide a cutting edge to form the perforation by rotating said perforator needle while gently pressing said perforator needle against the cortical plate; and
protective cover means enclosing said perforator needle, said cover means being secured to a part of said device and being removable therefrom to expose said perforator needle when said device has been latched in the powered dental handpiece.
2. A dental device according to claim 1, in which said perforator needle is solid.
3. A dental device according to claim 1, further comprising collar means on said shank adjacent said perforator needle.
4. A dental device according to claim 1, in which said securing part comprises collar means on said shank adjacent said perforator needle, and said protective cover means frictionally engages the periphery of said collar means.
5. A dental device according to claim 4, in which said collar means comprises a first collar member directly adjacent said perforator needle and a second collar member adjacent said first collar member and having a diameter greater than that of said first collar member, said two collar members cooperating to require bacteria to make three 90 degree direction changes in order to reach said perforator needle, thereby forming a barrier against bacterial contamination of said perforator needle.
6. A dental device according to claim 1, in which said perforator needle is made of metal and said shank and protective cover means are made of plastic.
7. A method of performing intraosseous injection of local anesthetic solution through the cortical plate of human maxillary of mandibular bones to produce local anesthesia, said method comprising the steps of:
latching in a latching-type powered dental handpiece a dental device for forming a perforation through the cortical plate, said dental device including a shank having a first end with recess means for latching said dental device in said handpiece and a second end, a perforator needle extending from said shank second end and having a free end opposite said shank, said free end being beveled to provide a cutting edge, and protective cover means enclosing said perforator needle, said cover means being secured to a part of said device;
removing said protective cover means from said part of said dental device to expose said perforator needle;
pushing said free end of said perforator needle through the attached gingiva associated with the cortical plate and into contact with the cortical plate;
actuating the powered dental handpiece to rotate said dental device while gently pressing said perforator needle against the cortical plate, to form a perforation through the cortical plate;
withdrawing said perforator needle from the perforation;
manually inserting into the perforation a dental injection needle having a diameter corresponding to the diameter of said perforator needle;
injecting local anesthetic solution through said dental injection needle and into the cancellous bone; and
manually withdrawing said dental injection needle from the perforation.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/188,966, filed May 2, 1988, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,057,013.
The present invention relates to a dental apparatus for cortical plate perforation.
There are a variety of methods and apparatus currently in use for providing local anaesthesia in dentistry. These methods and apparatus, however, all have disadvantages either being difficult for a dentist to perform or being painful or unpleasant for the patient.
For example, in the infiltration method, a local anaesthetic solution is injected into soft tissue adjoining a tooth and disperses around that area. In doing so, the anaesthetic passes through the cortical plate of bone and thus affects the nerve bundle entering the tooth. This method has numerous disadvantages some of which include the delay between injection and effect, the long duration of the effect and the ballooning of tissues.
In the regional block method of injection the local anaesthetic solution is injected around the nerve trunk as it enters the bone, thus anaesthetising all of the areas served by that trunk. This technique also has disadvantages which include the fact that it is difficult to locate the nerve trunk accurately, the injections are uncomfortable, and there is a delay between injection and effect.
Other techniques include the intraligamentry method, mandibular and maxillary anaesthesia all of which have disadvantages.
Intra-osseous anaesthesia is a technique which has been used to anaesthetise teeth by injecting local anaesthetic solution into the cancellous bone around the apex of the tooth. In order to do this, access must be gained through the cortical layer of bone and into the cancellous bone.
Intra-osseous anaesthesia (FIG. 1) is a desirable technique as among its many advantages it provides instant anaesthesia and profound pulpal anaesthesia, the effect may be localised and only a small dose of anaesthetic solution is required. However, as the cortical plate is very hard it is difficult to perforate.
At present two types of apparatus have been used to perform intra-asseous anaesthesia. These are a surgical bur used to perforate the cortical plate and the villette injector.
The use of a surgical bur has disadvantages in that burs are expensive and they have to be sterilised between uses or a new bur used each time. In addition, the method is slow requiring the attached gingiva and periosteum to be anaesthetised before the cortical plate is perforated.
The villette injector is an apparatus that serves as both a perforator and an injector. It uses specially designed needles on the front end of the instrument and a conventional dental motor attached at the rear of the instrument. The needles used are hollow and as the required region is perforated, the needle often becomes clogged with pulverised bone which prevents the injection of the anaesthetic solution.
It is often difficult to remove the clogging material from the needle thus often necessitating the use of a second needle. Other disadvantages of this method include, the initial capital cost of the instrument purchase, the particular needles are expensive, and the design of the instrument makes access to various parts of the mouth difficult if not impossible.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to mitigate the above problems and disadvantages of delivering dental anaesthetics.
According to the present invention there is provided a dental apparatus for perforating the cortical plate of human maxillary and mandibular bones, comprising a solid metal needle fixed in a shank, and collar means on the shank adjacent to the needle, the shank being formed with means for cooperation with and fixing of the shank into a dental handpiece.
In a preferred form of the invention the apparatus is disposable and there is provided a collar on the front end of the shank which is adapted to receive a hollow cap which protects the needle prior to use.
Preferably, the shank has a second collar immediately behind the first collar, the second collar in use abutting the front end of the dental handpiece to prevent any residue in the dental handpiece from falling onto the sterile needle.
The needle is preferably of the standard gauge for dental needles, typically about 27 gauge thickness, and has a sharp bevelled free end.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a drawing illustrating intra-osseous anaesthesia;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a dental apparatus for cortical plate perforation; and
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic cross-sectional view of the apparatus of FIG. 2.
In the drawing, the cortical plate perforator is generally indicated at 10 and comprises a cylindrical metal needle 11 fixed coaxially in a cylindrical shank 12. The rear end 13 of the shank 12 has formed therein suitable recesses 14 for cooperation with and fixing of the shank into a conventional dental contra-angle or straight handpiece. At the front end 15 of the shank there is provided an enlarged collar 16 which is an interference fit with the open end of a hollow protective cap 17 for the needle 11. A second collar 18 is provided immediately behind the first collar, the second collar 18 being of a substantially larger diameter than the first collar 16. The surface 19 of the second collar in use abuts the front end of the dental handpiece (not shown) to prevent any debris in the handpiece from falling into a patient's mouth. The cap 17 is preferably formed of a hard rubber or plastics material and has a roughened outer surface 17' to faclitate gripping. The needle 11 is solid (i.e. it is not hollow) and has a sharp bevelled free end 20. The shank 12 is preferably moulded of a plastics material and the needle 11 is preferably fixed in the shank 12 during the moulding of the shank. As shown in FIG. 3 the end 30 of the needle 11 which is fixed in the shank 12 is preferably bent into a double `V` shape which ensures that the needle 11 does not rotate relative to the shank 12 during use. It is important that the needle 11 is rigidly fixed in the shank 12 and it has been found that the crimping of the end 30 of the needle 11 into the double `V` shape provides the optimum securement of the needle 11 relative to the shank 12.
The apparatus has as a main advantage the fact that it can be manufactured very inexpensively and the apparatus can therefore be disposable. The apparatus may be sold with the needle 11 sterilised and covered by the cap 17, and the shank 12 can be inserted into the dental handpiece by holding the end cap 17. Once the apparatus is fixed into the handpiece the cap 17 may be removed to expose the sterile needle 11. Thus, the needle 11 will remain sterile until use.
The hollow cap 17 is also useful for removing the apparatus from the dental handpiece after use. Therefore, after use, the hollow cap 17 is readily engaged on the collar 16 and with the needle 11 protected the apparatus is removed from the dental handpiece and disposed. Thus, the cap 17 provides a means whereby the apparatus may be removed from the dental handpiece without any risk of the user being in contact with body fluids which will be present on the needle 11 after use.
This is extremely important particularly since there may be a risk of contracting aids or hepatitis should a user accidentially prick a finger with the needle 11. It is therefore desirable that the cap 17 should be of a hard or rigid rubber or plastics material not easily penetrated by the needle 11. Moreover, for ease of operation the internal diameter of the cap 17 and the diameter of the corresponding collar 16, should be as large as possible and preferably be of a diameter of between 2 to 20 times greater than the diameter of the needle 11.
Another advantage of the collar 16 is that it provides a stop to limit the depth of penetration of the needle 11. Thus, the exposed length of the needle is preferably of a length between 5 mm and 15 mm and more preferably 8 mm, and the collar 16 in use acts to limit the depth of penetration of the needle 11, the depth of penetration being determined by the length of the exposed part of the needle.
A further advantage of the invention is that the two collars 16,18 combine to form a barrier to prevent bacterial contamination of the needle 11. Thus, the apparatus is supplied with the needle 11 sterilised and protected by the cap 17. However, the shank 12 and the surface 19 of collar 18 and the outer annular surface 31 are exposed. To contaminate the needle 11, any bacteria which may be present on surfaces 19 or 31 would have to change direction once through 90� to travel along surface 32, change direction again through 90� to travel along surface 33 and change direction a third time through 90� and travel along surface 34 before it could reach the needle 11. However, it is believed that bacteria are reluctant to change direction through 90� and since in the present apparatus they would have to make this change of direction some three times, the collars 16,18 provide in effect a bacterial barrier which serves to prevent or minimise the risk of contamination of the needle 11.
The following technique should be used:
1. Select a site for injection.
2. Disinfect and topically anaesthetise the attached gingiva over the injection site.
3. Place the bevel of a standard gauge needle against the attached gingiva, and inject a small amount of local anaesthetic until a slight blanching of the tissues is observed. This will anaesthetise the attached gingiva and the periosteum.
4. Place a cortical plate perforator 10 in a contra-angle or straight dental handpiece and remove the cap 17.
5. Hold the cortical plate perforator 10 with the needle 11 against and perpendiclar to the cortical plate, and perforate the plate by rotating and gently pressing the perforator. It is easy, with practice, to tell when this is done because there is a sudden "give" when the plate is perforated.
6. Remove the perforator.
7. Insert a standard gauge needle into the perforation and inject the required amount of local anaesthetic.
The apparatus therefore allows the ready perforation of the cortical plate after which a conventional dental needle is used to inject a small amount of anaesthetic solution, directly to the region to be anaesthetised. As the anaesthetic is delivered directly to the required region only a small amount of solution is required which is quick acting.
The apparatus has been found to be extremely useful in that it enables a procedure to be followed to deliver an anaesthetic to a patient with the following advantages:
it gives guaranteed profound pulpal anaesthesia;
it is quick acting;
it uses only a minimum dose of local anaesthetic;
it is easy to administer:
it is inexpensive:
it does not cause ballooning of tissues;
it does not leave the patient numb for hours afterwards;
it does not involve risk of haematoma or trimus;
it permits work in all parts of the mandible at each session;
it dispenses with the need for a palatal injection;
it is relatively painless.

As claims that the OED is looking towards ceasing print publication of the 'complete' edition circulate (and are countered), I ruminate on the OED and dictionaries.
Anyone involved in writing by now will know by now there are claims that the next edition of the OED – The Oxford English Dictionary – may not appear in print form. Other reports suggest this is not a done deal as initial accounts in newspapers around the world say. Nevertheless, it's a nice excuse to ponder on the OED and dictionaries.
It's a colossus of the English language, with the second edition running to 20 weighty volumes. There's even a guide to it and a word of the day RSS feed, which you can also view as a webpage. ('to cross or pass the Rubicon' is up today. Given how many words they have to chosen from it'll be a long time before they double up…)
On my shelves is a copy of Simon Winchester's The Surgeon of Crowthorne. (I believe this now goes under the title The Professor and the Madman.) In it Winchester recounts how (paraphasing from the blurb on the rear cover) 'Dr. W. C. Minor, lascivious, charismatic, a millionaire American Civil War surgeon and homicidal lunatic, confined to Broadmoor Asylum, pursued his passion for words and and became one of the OED's most valued contributors.' It's a short book (207 pages), but a great read. I have to admit I still haven't gotten the account of this gentleman's self-surgery out of my head. (I would give the spoiler, but it's stunning.)
A later book, The Meaning of Everything, looks further into the history of the dictionary. (See the cover for a beard you'd rarely see today! The gentleman could step right into Lord of the Rings as a wizard.)
I have faint memories of an older edition of the 'full thing' arrayed on the shelves of my college at Cambridge. While impressive, the volumes were so big and the writing so small as to make it unwieldy to use so rarely I did, preferring for most uses the more compact (and current) shorter versions.

When I was little, I was NOT a very healthy eater.
Not that I'm the epitome of healthy eating now. But I still like to think I'm pretty good about keeping myself balanced and in check for the most part (you may question this statement by the end of the post).
But not when I was little. To be specific, it's the school lunch that killed it for me.
My teachers had to have been concerned when all I'd eat was bread every day and the cinnamon rolls they'd serve once every few weeks. Every once in a while I'd eat the peanut butter they'd set out on occasion for the bread.
Snack time was no better. Pretty sure if there were a lactose intolerant kid in my class, even they would have gotten more stars for finishing their milk than me.
Even as a young tyke, I was a defiant little booger.
Point of my story is that I hated school lunches. I grew out of it a little, but was so frustrated that I wasn't allowed to bring lunch from home. In my school, not many people did. But I wanted to. Maybe for the food. Maybe for the cool lunch box (I heart Lisa Frank). Whatever reason, I wanted to bring my own lunch.
So you can see how I'd also feel a little jipped about missing out on the classics. Snack packs with the fake cheese. Pudding cups. Juice boxes (even though I hated juice, it irked me).
And the fluffernutter sandwich.
Bread + Peanut Butter + Marshmallow Fluff.
I actually didn't know this combination existed until much later in life. And, quite frankly, am not sure if children should be allowed to eat such massive quantities of sugar and call it their lunch for the day.
But that's a debate for another day.
Either way, it exists and it sounds like a lovely thing. So when browsing recipes for the BBQ I went to on Monday, this was one of the options I sent to Mon (she was the final vote).
I think she ended up picking the fluffernutter cake bars because of the name. Pretty sure she won't deny it if you asked.
The recipe for the fluffernutter cake bars came from Picky Palate's website. She's pretty much a genius in taking desserts one step further to make them over-the-top delicious. My kind of gal. :)
Anyway, what's nice about this recipe is the ingredient list is short and as often as I bake, most things are kept on hand.What? You don't keep marshmallow fluff on hand?
What is wrong with you?
*And yes, I do love my natural peanut butter from Trader Joe's, but when it comes to baking, I buy the processed stuff with sugar in it. I think it tastes better in most baking. And I'll stand by that statement.
One thing I will suggest- do not bake these early in the morning after a night out. You'll swipe way more "batter" than normal. Oops.This leads to sugar coma by 9:30 in the morning if you're not careful. Again- oops.Man I really need to polish my tea pot. That's just shameful.This is the point where I always get nervous. And also why I'm much better at/more comfortable with cookies. Is it done? Is it good? Will the grocery store be open for me to buy a cookie cake if they're awful?Turns out I was quite safe. My favorite part was the yellow cake mix crust- kind of like the ooey gooey butter cake I made earlier in the year.
The marshmallow/peanut butter "cream" party was very rich- but not overly sweet. Good for if you decide to mass consume. ;)
In all honesty, I think the ooey gooey butter cake edges these out in the dessert bar category, but these are a good alternative. Promise!
Now I don't feel so left out from getting the cool school lunches anymore…
How was the school lunch program in your part of the world?
I eventually expanded my tastes to include the big slices of square pizza and burritos that were quite suspect. Um- yum?

ELECTRIC CITY, Wash. 1/10/12 (PennWell) -- Bonneville Power Administration will soon begin construction of six new 500-kV overhead transmission lines at Grand Coulee Dam.
The decision to move forward follows BPA's completion of the final environmental assessment for the project and the release of its Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) report. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which operates the 6,809-MW Grand Coulee project, has also released a FONSI on the project.
The six 500-kV overhead transmission lines will replace six existing underground lines that consist of "aging, oil-filled cables between Grand Coulee's third power plant and the 500kV spreading yard," according to a BPA release. The new lines will transfer power across the Columbia River before proceeding uphill to connect to existing lines that transfer electricity into the regional power grid.
Construction is expected to begin in February 2012, with work continuing through winter 2012 as weather permits, according to the release. The tender for the project is available now, and BPA says a contractor will be named soon.
