Those recipes include a sweet and spicy corn salad, miniature mac-and-cheese cups, stuffed puffs, casa-papa meatballs, brownie bourbon balls and chicken satays. There also will be catered items of pork tenderloin, prime rib, rolls and gourmet condiments from Bellas.
Food will be served by local celebrity wait staff, including people featured in NNY Businesss 20 Under 40 issue, Jefferson Leadership Institute members and other influential people in the community.

Knapp. Other items include a Maine getaway package, a kayak, a pair of handmade Adirondack chairs, a two-hour guided fishing tour with Bill Saiff, a wine-and-cheese cruise and a golf trip for two at Rustic Golf and Country Club, Pillar Point, among other items.
Miss Colligan, who was part of the celebrity wait staff at the 2012 event when she worked for WWNY-TV7, said she can attest to the events fun atmosphere.

Mother Stiffs Gay Server On $100 Check: 'I Do Not Agree With Your Lifestyle'
Well isn't this a gem? Apparently a New Jersey mom with two kids at a Gallop Asian Bistro had no problem shoveling $100 worth of food into her family's mouths, but she had a big problem with tipping her androgynous lesbian waitress.
Dayna Morales, a former U.S. Marine posted this on the "Have A Gay Day" Facebook page:
Dayna writes:
I'm a server at Gallop Asian Bistro in Bridgewater, NJ and THIS is what happened to me today.....
The note says "sorry I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle & the way you live your life"
NEVER in a million years did I think this would happen. Not only was it a family with two kids, but as I introduce myself and tell them my name is Dayna - the mom proceeds to look at me and say "oh I thought you were gonna say your name is Dan. You sure surprised us!"
I am THOROUGHLY offended mad pissed off and hurt that THIS is what her kids will grow up learning and that I served in the Marines to keep ignorant people like them free. Sorry lady but I don't agree with YOUR lifestyle and the way you're raising your kids but you didn't see me throwing that in your face and giving you shitty service. Keep your damn mouth shut and pray we never cross paths again.
Dayna M.
How classy of this mom to explain her reasons behind stiffing the server who just spent time on her feet putting food on your table.
Dayna later told her Facebook supporters (and there are many):
Thanks everyone for your support - it took very fiber of my being not to spit in their food and say something. (Not gonna lie if kids weren't there it would of been a totally different story)
How would you have reacted, Instincters?
(H/T: Gaily Grind)
Ingrate. She would be wise to never go back there again or a she might get the special sauce mixed in.
"we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" .... never let her back in.
Oh do let her back in and while she is waiting for that meal prepared especially for her, it would be the perfect opportunity to teach her not only manners, but also what Jeasus had to say about judging others. Then after you have done that and have photographed this encounter, a photo that can they be circulated to every LGBTQ server in the country to ensure she ALWAYS gets the kind of service she is entitled to.
I don't understand why she thought you were called Dan? Ignorant people are everywhere. Do NOT let her stupidity drag you down to her level. I am sad that you were hurt by this POS. Be strong and rise above it. It grieves me that people are so piggish.
I celebrate your class and inner-beauty, Waiter Extrodinaire!
Interesting.. She allowed a gay person to serve her, touch her food, glasses, silverware... but no tip. I think it has nothing to do with being gay but rather the customer being a cheap skate ...
Totally! Using that as an excuse for her to be cheap. What an embarrassment!
Well done keep your head up you got nothing to be ashamed off not only a brave woman but a respectable one pity this so call woman dint have half the manners that you did xx

Pros & Cons: Bringing Tim Tebow to the New York Jets
Last night I turned to Twitter to get a sense of what Jets fans thought the Pros and Cons were to the news that the Jets might be interested in trading for Tebow. Here's some of the answers that I got, which I've expounded on below …
PRO: Added Dimension to the Offense — Sparano brought the Wildcat to the NFL, and Tebow is used to playing in an extension of that – the spread option. The thought here is that Tebow doesn't mount a threat at the starting QB spot because of his accuracy and mechanical issues, but his presense as the TE/FB/RB/Option QB is more than enough to justify his addition. It's the Swiss Army Knife factor. Yes, he's not that accurate, but his ability to be used at multiple spots in the offense wipes out that issue. Heck, Brad Smith was a WR who couldn't catch a football and he was on the Jets for five years … the Jets couldn't find a roster spot for someone like Tebow? Tebow might not be as elusive as Smith was in the open field, but his other attributes still make him a threat.
CON: He's Got Worse Accuracy than Sanchez — Based on the Jets self-admitted desire to add a backup who can push Sanchez, how does adding a Sanchez less mechanically inclined than Sanchez helping the situation? It doesn't. The Jets already showed how little they really cared to stop "coddling" Sanchez this year when they signed Drew Stanton as his backup. On the other hand, you have to think that Santonio's complaints about Sanchez as a QB will go out the window as soon as Tim Tebow throws him his first pass (inevitably a duck) in practice.
PRO: Can He Push Sanchez — Sanchez has had his own successes, but style-points be damned, there's something to be for plain ol' fashioned winning. It makes total sense that Tebow would come in as the #2 QB. It allows him to be activated on gameday and take snaps if required, but also play in the offense in other spots. As the #2, there's going to be a lot more pressure on Mark Sanchez to play well than if Mark Brunell or Drew Stanton is holding the clipboard. Also, Tebow is no stranger to coming in cold and just taking snaps as necessary. Of course he wants to be the starter, but his personality would allow him to accept the role he would be placed in behind Sanchez.
CON: Creates a Short Leash for Sanchez — I stood in the stands in 2005 when Marcus Stroud ripped Chad Pennington's shoulder apart and was dismayed to hear many lusty Jets fans thrilled that Pennington was out of the game. They wanted Jay Fiedler instead. Yes, Jay Fielder. Well they got what they wished for and Fiedler's Jets career lasted six plays before he was injured and out for the season. Adding Tebow to the roster makes his ascension to the starting spot at some point – for good or ill – inexorable in many fans minds.
PRO: It Gets Sanchez off the Field Some — There could be no connection between the two, but without Brad Smith, the Jets barely used their Wildcat formation last year and when they did, it was only when Rex Ryan ordered Brian Schottenheimer to do it. Maybe there's something to getting Sanchez away from Center on a few snaps that worked better for the Jets in 2009 and 2010? (It could also be that their OL and WRs were better)
CON: Tebow Would be the Sanchez Death Knell — Remember when Michael Vick came to the Eagles? Remember the Donovan McNabb "kill it" signal? McNabb knew what was happening … even if it wasn't working at that moment, McNabb was getting phased out of the offense. Every QB wants to be under center every play of the game. Adding more plays where Sanchez is not the QB just confirms that the Jets don't see him as the slinger they sold their fanbase that he said he was back in 2009 and so they are doing things to mitigate Sanchez's impact on the offense. The Jets just gave Mark Sanchez a big apology extension, but adding Tim Tebow to the team in some odd way means that the Jets are giving up on him being the franchise player.
PRO: Leadership / Locker Room — This was a popular one. The thought here is that like it or not, for all Tebow's goody-goodyism it's somehow infectious. Despite the scorn that other players or veterans might have, he somehow still manages to win over. With all the stuff that happened last year, it seems clear that Rex Ryan has had a "come to Jesus" (haha) moment about personalities, chemistry and leadership. He blamed much of the collapse last season on that fact. Somehow I don't think that a high-ropes course near Cortland NY was the problem … it might have been the sheer stupidity of naming Santonio Holmes a captain … anyway … maybe it's just that the locker room will unite in their scorn for Tebow …
CON: Polarizing Figure — For right or wrong, Tebow is a polarizing figure. Can a Jets locker room that already has trouble backstabbing each other benefit or be harmed by a figure like Tebow? Who is going to anonymously endorse Tebow as their starter? Who's going to anonymously talk behind his back?
PRO: The Cost — From what we understand, Elway is asking for just a 2nd & 5th rounder for Tebow. Could the Jets find a way to haggle that down with Elway? Could it be a way for the Jets to throw Bart Scott into the mix and somehow absolve themselves of that sticky situation?
CON: More Pressing Needs — The Jets still need to find a Free Safety, their Outside Linebacking spot needs an upgrade, the upgrade the team made in Chaz Schilens is questionble at best. Right Tackle is a major worry … and so the Jets are trading for what can be called an NFL roster luxury? Why?
PRO: Tickets / Media Attention — Somehow the thought here is that the Jets will sell more PSLs and get more attention and that would be a factor in the Jets deciding that they want Tebow. Not sure either would bear out, but it was a consideration …
CON: Batty Tebow Fans — Tim Tebow fans can be irrational. They can get theology muddled with sports, they can think that based on his nature or faith or something that they have in common with the QB that they somehow not just root, nay, demand he play. Tebow can't control that, but these "plants" amongst the mob mentality seem to only make the echo chamber when Tim Tebow is discussed even more raucous.
PRO: Will God Become a Jets Fan? — I wouldn't have added this, if not for so manypeople mentioning it, even if it was in jest. Is there something in that a team adding Tebow brings some sort of suzerain covenant blessing with him from Tebow's Most High? I don't have time or the tautological wherewithal to write about the subject, so I'd suggest you go read Chuck Klosterman's piece on Grantland from last fall to get an in-depth look into this.
CON: Tebow is an Unneeded Distraction — There's so much hype and zeitgeist around Tebow, it's turned into a runaway train. The media is like water, they always find the lowest course- so bringing Tebow into the team is going to increase team attention, but it's also going to drive some in the media to foster stories of discord. Manish has proven to be very liberal with his unnamed sources in the last year alone … he's already boring into the bedrock of the organization. Add in legitimate household name as in-house replacement for Sanchez? Game over for the current constitution of the organization …

TURIN The first phase of a planned community center here is nearing completion, with the intent to open with an Easter Sunday worship service.
We dont anticipate having any trouble being ready for that day, the Rev. Brian D. Siegrist, pastor of the group building the Christian Community Center, said of the proposed March 31 opening.
The 9,500-square-foot center since July has been under construction directly across from the South Lewis middle-high school building on East Road in the town of Turin.
It features a 4,100-square-foot building, including a kitchen and a couple of classrooms, and an attached 5,400-square-foot gymnasium.
The facility could be used by all kinds of groups, I think, the Rev. Mr. Siegrist said.
The 35-person Christian Community Center congregation for the past several years has been holding Sunday services at the Alpine Restaurant in Constableville while working to construct a new building that could meet the needs of both its members and the southern Lewis County community, he said.
While the building will be utilized for weekly worship services, the intent is to construct something that blesses the greater community by providing more activities for area youth and families, as well as an additional venue to hold weddings, funerals or other community gatherings, the Rev. Mr. Siegrist said.
Its about a safe place for families, for kids, he said.
We dont want it to just sit here, added group member Moses M. Beiler.
Plans are to initially use the main building for services, then eventually move them to the gymnasium when that part of the project is completed.
The gym section is to feature a regulation-size volleyball court. Basketball hoops will also be added, although an official court is not planned.
Group members have also discussed outdoor additions like a playground, volleyball court, athletic fields and even a cross country ski trail on their 25-acre property, which includes an 8-acre wooded portion.
The Rev. Mr. Siegrist said they would also welcome suggestions from members of the community and other area churches on events that could be held at the center, particularly ones designed to encourage and strengthen families. Anyone with ideas is encouraged to contact him at 771-7968.
The group purchased the property from Diane Gaylord in 2010, shortly after South Lewis residents narrowly rejected a plan to buy the land for future field space in case an elementary consolidation project here was ever undertaken.
Mr. Beiler said group members had some discussions with district officials before deciding where on the property to site the center. They hope to continue working with the school to coordinate activities and would be open to discussions on a future project, if the need were to arise and district residents supported the plan, he said.
Volunteer labor has helped to keep costs down, the Rev. Mr. Siegrist said.
Fundraisers including an ongoing scrap metal drive, the rehabilitation and sale of a Lowville home that had fire damage and sale of corn grown on the property have covered a significant portion of the project and should help keep the mortgage manageable, he said.

Game Six: Clippers 118, Phoenix 106
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Thu, 05/18/06, 11:51pm:
- Corey Maggette's True Shooting Percentage was 104%. My hamster-and-wheel operation here in Echo Park doesn't have the capacity to tell me if there's ever been a playoff performer who has racked up a TS% of >100% while scoring at least 25 points, but I'd be curious to know.
For good measure, Corey turned the ball over only once and compiled four assists - not bad for a guy who tends to struggle with basic entry passes into the post. Justin Lester made a really smart observation on the way out of Staples after the game:
When the Clippers space the floor, Corey does his best work, more so than even most wing players.
Against a Suns team that found itself pushed below the foul line having to contain Brand, Kaman and post-happy swingmen Mobley and Ross, Maggette got a chance to find the space to slash and find open holes. Tonight, going to the rim, he looked like Barry Sanders. And when he wasn't driving, he was draining from the arc.
- Quinton Ross, a Clipperblog favorite, went 8-11 in the first half. He destroyed Steve Nash, demolished him on both ends of the court.
Elton was his usual paragon of consistency (14-21, 12 rebounds, 5 blocks, 3 assists for 30 points) and Kaman was a beast in the post despite turning the ball over four times, but the story of the game was a couple of guys who will be battling it out for the hearts and minds of the Clipper brain trust this off-season for the starting SF position for the 2006-2007 season.
Let's break down first Q's first half possessions, then Corey's boffo game:
First Q ...
- Right out of the gate, the Clippers swing it around the perimeter and Ross, being guarded by Nash, passes it into Mobley in the post against Raja Bell. Ross then cuts to the hoop - but Nash decides to double Mobley. So Ross, all alone, works back to Mobley so that Cat can drop it to him right on the block. An uncontested 10-footer by Q. (1st, 11:40)
- Off a non-shooting foul, Ross inbounds the ball to Kaman who leaves it back with Ross. Nash picks up Q, but when Brand sets up just behind Stevie, he backs off Ross, leaving him with a wide open 16-footer. (1st, 7:52)
- Brand has the ball at the top of the circle one-on-one against Thomas. Freezing the frame here at :16, the Clips have the floor spaced beautifully - Maggette on the left block, Livingston on the left wing, Ross on the right wing, Vlad in the right corner. As Elton drives toward the rim, Vlad shifts up to Q's spot and Q breaks to the basket - only Nash doesn't follow him the whole way, stopping to provide help on EB in the lane. When EB recognizes the double-team here and Q all alone under the basket, he sends it priority. Easy lay-in. Credit EB. (1st, 3:00)
- Nothing elaborate. Maggette dumps it into Ross on the right middle post against Nash. Q backs him in, spins left into the lane and buries an easy 6-footer. Abuse. (1st, 2:25)
- When Brand gets caught in the double-team on the baseline with :05 left on the shot clock, the ball gets kicked out, then slung around the perimeter. The hot potato ends up in the hands of Q, and with the clock expiring, it's on him to launch the contested, off-balanced 18-footer. This is his only miss of the half (1st, 1:09)
- Sometimes against PHX, it really isn't that complicated. I'm not being snide here, but I think the most loyal Suns fan would confess that they give up a great deal defensively. Here it's as simple as Q drawing Nash up from the baseline, then quickly cutting back, receiving a nice lob from Sam. Layup. (2nd, 5:33)
- Again, same sequence. Ross has ridiculous position on Nash deep on the right post. Cassell sees it. We all see it. No help from Jones or Thomas or Truck Robinson. An easy 8-footer. (2nd, 4:50)
- Shaun gets it into EB on the side post. The double team comes quickly this time - Thomas (EB's man) and Barbosa. But, again, good recognition from Elton as he dribbles out and gets it back to Vlad on the perimeter, who resets. Vlad sees Ross one-on-one against Nash on the left wing and it's an open invitation. Q backs him in to about 15 feet, spins and hits. (2nd, 1:13)
- The harder you work, the luckier you get. A broken play at the end of the half as the Clips fumble the ball upcourt with only six seconds left. Ross picks up the Vlad deflection, heaves it up from about 21 feet and it goes down. He has 16 in the half. (2nd, 0:00)
Corey Maggette was decisive but not impulsive, irrepressible but not impatient. It was beautiful, vintage Maggette - an athlete molding his talents to the contours of the game.
It didn't get started until he hit a couple of free throws four minutes into the 2nd quarter. Let's take a look:
- Again, the Clips love posting against Barbosa and Nash, and here Maggette gets his first look against Leandro - then actually draws the double team from Nash. Corey works it in, goes up, gets fouled. Though the shot doesn't fall, he hits both free throws.
Corey finishes the night 9-9 from the stripe. (2nd, 7:58)
- When Kaman grabs the rebound off the Marion miss, he kicks it out to Sam who gets it ahead to Maggette in the open floor. He has only Barbosa to beat. What's interesting is that Corey pauses, takes stock of the floor, stutter-steps, then performs a killer cross-over that gets Barbosa off-balance. Corey lunges toward the basket, hits the layup and draws the contact from Barbosa. Three-point play. (2nd, 7:24)
- Corey skies for a rebound off the Nash miss and goes coast-to-coast for a driving layup. He makes sure, of course, to draw the contact from Diaw as he lays it in. Totally in control, almost deliberate - or as deliberate as you can be flying solo from one end of the court to the other. And one. (2nd, 6:10)
- Brand gets caught in the air trying to shoot over the double-team. He realizes a pass out to Maggette is the wiser choice and finds Corey on the arc. Corey catches the pass, dribbles to the top of the circle where he's met by Bell. Corey pulls a Sam and draws two free throws, sinking them both. (2nd, 4:16)
- Into EB in the post. When the Suns double, EB kicks it back up top to Shaun who then swings it over to Q.
In the second half, the Suns adjust and do a much better job of closing on Ross, and that open shot isn't there. Q goes 1-4 in the 2nd half.
Ross dumps it into Kaman on the low post and when the Suns' defense starts to converge below the line, Corey drifts out to the arc. Kaman's pass is a little off, but Corey runs it down and, still, there's nobody around. He launches the 20-footer. Silky smooth. (3rd, 2:13)
- It's not the first time tonight that Mobley has eagerly posted Bell on the low block. Raja is a good defender and it wouldn't seem to warrant a double-team, but Jones leaves Maggette to help. This leaves Corey wide open up top. The moment Jones comes over, Mobley spots it. He zips the ball over the Corey. Three. (4th, 11:14)
- Mobley blocks Barbosa's layup attempt and this launches the Clips in transition. Livingston ahead to Maggette, who goes up strong and is assaulted by Bell ... the prick. Corey sinks both. (4th, 10:06)
- Pretty basic: Livingston to Maggette, who dumps it into Brand on the left side post. Brand dribbles toward the corner, drawing Barbosa away from Maggette. Normally, this is a tough pass for Elton to make, but against the Lilliputians, he finds Maggette with ease. There isn't enough time for Bell to rotate up and Maggette drains the three. (4th, 8:53)
- Same damned play, but this time a defender closes quickly on Maggette, but Corey anticipates it brilliantly - he knows it's coming. So as Marion sprints out to the arc, Maggette drives past the Matrix in the other direction. Very Roadrunner/Wile E. (4th, 6:48)
- Maggette dumps it into the left post and Brand. When the double team arrives, Brand kicks it back out to Corey -- classic two-man game we saw a lot last year. This time Corey misses -- his only miss of the night...from anywhere. (4th, 5:52)
- Interesting little set here. Cassell and EB set up for the ol' bread-and-butter side screen roll, so the Suns load up defensively on the left side. But instead of going into EB in the post, Cassell delivers a bullet pass to Maggette up top on the weak side. There's very little between Corey and the basket and he gets there at the speed of light, drawing the foul on Barbosa for good measure. (4th, 4:05)
We've got two weeks until Game Seven, so we'll have plenty of time to discuss potential adjustments, the greatest hits of the series thus far and who will rip the most deadly brainfart down the stretch.
Most random interesting bit of minutiae of the night. Out on the smoking patio at halftime, we learned that fans in their red Clippers Nacion tees should avoid Highland Park....just sayin'... don't be wearing no crimson at the Mudpuppy...we have it on reliable sources. Clipperblog isn't sure which gang colors rule Echo Park, but he pretty much rocks neutrals.

Yang Laboratory
Yingzi Yang , PhD, Professor of Developmental Biology
The Yang lab uses molecular, cellular, genetic and genomic approaches to investigate critical roles of cell signaling in embryonic morphogenesis and adult physiology. We mainly focus on the mammalian limb, skeleton and liver, and we are exploiting these systems to explore human biology and address the underlying pathological mechanisms of diseases including cancer.
Cell-cell signaling plays essential and pivotal roles in both development and physiology. We are particularly interested in the Wnt, Hedgehog and Hippo signaling pathways that are evolutionarily conserved, act repetitively in different systems and regulate a diverse array of biological processes. Mutations in components of these signaling pathways cause devastating birth defects, degenerative disorders and cancer.
The vertebrate limb and skeleton provide a great system for us to understand morphogenesis and signaling interactions. Early patterning signals, which include Hedgehogs, Wnts, FGFs, and TGF-superfamily members, provide temporal and spatial information to instruct skeletal anlagen formation, long before overt skeletal morphogenesis. These signaling pathways also play major roles in regulating cell fates, proliferation and polarity in the formed skeletal system. Our previous work has provided insights into several fundamental aspects of tissue and organ morphogenesis in the limb and skeleton and tumor formation in the liver.
Our current efforts are divided into three major projects:
- Understand the role of signaling pathways in cell fate determination. We are investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms whereby the Gs and Hedgehog signaling pathways regulate fate choices of differentiating mesenchymal progenitor/stem cells under both physiological and pathological conditions.
- Understand the function of directional information in development and disease. We are investigating the regulatory mechanisms whereby Wnt signaling controls planar cell polarity (PCP) in various aspects of embryonic morphogenesis, skeletal development and homeostasis.
- Understand the molecular and cellular mechanism underlying mechanotransduction in the skeletal system. The musculoskeletal system generates and is also highly regulated by mechanic forces. We are investigating the roles of the Wnt and Hippo signaling pathways in mediating the effects of mechanotransduction in both development, physiology and regeneration in the liver and skeleton.
Intini Laboratory
Giuseppe Intini , DDS, PhD, Assistant Professor of Oral Medicine, Infection, and Immunity
The research in the Intini laboratory, or the intinilab, as we like to call it, focuses on the biology of the adult skeletal stem cells. We use mouse genetics and in vivo imaging to describe the location of these stem cells within the intramembranous bone, their contribution to tissue repair, the effects of aging on these cells, and the molecular mechanisms that control their "stemness". Similar to what Dr. Yamanaka has described for the iPS cells, we believe that a limited number of genes expressed by adult skeletal stem cells confer the stemness quality to these cells. With the final goal of translating our research into clinically useful information we therefore aim to identify these genes and understand the influence that cellular location or aging has on their expression.
Another project at its initial stages at the intinilab focuses on the role of skeletal stem cells and cancer stem cells in development and maintenance of osteosarcoma. In this project we aim to trace the stem cells and identify mechanisms that may prevent metastasis, the ultimate cause of death in children with osteosarcoma.

Xu Laboratory
Lin Xu , MD, PhD, Instructor in Developmental Biology
The Xu laboratory focuses on the pathogenesis of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) degeneration, which affects millions of people around the world. TMJ is the most used and unique joint in human body. Articular cartilage of TMJ is fibrocartilage, which is different from other joints. A question has been raised as to whether the molecular basis underlying TMJ degeneration is similar to or different from other joints. To address this question, we established a surgically induced mouse model and identified two genetic mutant mouse models for study of TMJ degeneration. We have been investigating molecular mechanisms of TMJ degeneration by use of these mouse models. Results from our study will ultimately provide valuable information in search of novel therapeutic protocols for the prevention and treatment of TMJ disorders.

The Nagai Lab combines basic science with clinical and developmental research. Research is focused on color science, soft tissue esthetics in dental implants, and early caries detection, as well as a project involving osteoinductive peptides found by a new biopanning method.
Development of Early Caries Detection System
The Nagai lab has been dedicated to the development of an early caries detection system using near-infrared fluorescence. The goal of this study is to put an end to "Drill, Fill and Bill" dentistry and to enhance natural healing by remineralization. Our preliminary in vitro studies confirm that the sensitivity of this new system is as high as three times that of dental radiography. Also, the odds of underestimation errors (i.e. missing early caries) is reduced by 97% in comparison to dental radiography. The current stage of the development is clinical assessment of the feasibility of a prototype device.
Color Science in Dentistry
A dental spectrophotometer was developed in collaboration with the Olympus Corporation. This is the only dental spectrophotometer providing both numerical data and natural images. Clinical research has been done at HSDM resulting in the publication of several papers.
The next step will be a multi center study employing this dental spectrophotometer aimed at developing a computer color matching system for dental ceramic restorations.
Application of Novel Osteoinductive Peptides for Dental Implants
Novel peptides screened by a new biopaning system will be assessed for osteoinduction ability for a use with titanium dental implants.
Soft Tissue Esthetics at Implant Sites
Colored neck dental implants have been developed with supported from the ITI Research Foundation between 2003-2008. These implants improve the grayish color shine through effects on gingival tissue in anterior dental implant sites.

Rosen Laboratory
Vicki Rosen , PhD, Chair and Professor of Developmental Biology
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), members of the TGFβ gene superfamily, were first identified as potential bone-repair agents. We now know that, along with the bone inductive activity that gave BMPs their name, they are involved in the development of nearly all vertebrate organ systems and tissues, where they play a central role by affecting cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The activity of these locally acting factors is tightly controlled, and increasing or decreasing BMP signaling can have significant physiological effects throughout the lifetime of an organism. Using molecular, cellular, and genetic approaches in frogs, chicks, and mice, work in our laboratory is currently focused on three areas of research:
1. What role do individual BMPs play in the formation and maintenance of musculoskeletal tissues and structures? To answer this question, we developed transgenic mice in which we can control the temporal and spatial expression of BMPs and are using these mice to distinguish between the requirement for BMP activity and the need for specific BMPs.
2. How is BMP signaling regulated by extracellular matrix components found in musculoskeletal tissues? BMP-3, the major BMP component of bone matrix, antagonizes the osteogenic activity of other BMPs. This observation identifies a new way to modulate BMP signaling, and suggests that bone matrix may play an important role in the control of bone mass.
3. Can an understanding of the roles of BMPs during embryogenesis be used to generate novel tissue-repair strategies? Recombinant human BMP-2 is currently used during orthopedic surgery as a replacement for bone grafts. Might other BMPs have analogous properties for repair of other musculoskeletal tissues?

Olsen Laboratory
Bjorn R. Olsen , MD, PhD, Dean for Research and Professor of Developmental Biology; Hersey Professor of Cell Biology
The Olsen laboratory studies skeletal and vascular morphogenesis, growth, and remodeling/repair. Work is currently directed at three project areas.
In the first project, we are studing skeletal morphogenesis and growth. We are interested in genes that control differentiation of mesenchymal cells to chondrocytes and osteoblasts, the control of spatial patterns of mesenchymal condensations during skeletal development and tooth formation, the molecular mechanisms controlling the formation of ossification centers, the regulation of proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes in growth plates, and molecular mechanisms responsible for accrual of bone mass and remodeling of the vertebrate skeleton in response to mechanical stress. In addition to using knock-out, knock-in, and conditional knock-out mice in studies of specific genes, we make extensive use of genetic approaches in mice and humans. This includes mapping of inherited disorders, gene identification, and mutation detection.
In the second project, we are investigating the molecular basis for vascular morphogenesis, using a combination of human genetics of vascular tumors and malformations and studies of cells in culture. In addition, we are studying mice with inactivated alleles for collagens that are expressed in vascular cells, and using conditional knock-out techniques to inactivate VEGF and its receptors in mice.
In the third project, we are studying genetic causes of degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis) in humans and mice. The approach involves identification of mutations responsible for early-onset osteoarthritis as part of inherited osteochondrodysplasias and cellular/molecular analyses of pathogenetic mechanisms.

Lanske Laboratory
Beate Lanske , PhD, Professor of Oral Medicine, Infection, and Immunity, Associate Professor in Medicine, MGH and Harvard Medical School
The Lanske Lab researches the endocrine regulation of mineral ion homeostasis and skeletogenesis. In vivo research requires the use of a wide variety of animal models and molecular biology techniques to answer complex questions. In the Lanske Lab several knockout mice were generated and are currently being used, often in combination with each other and with mice from collaborating groups. The use of transgenic mouse lines harboring the CRE-LoxP system to alter gene expression in specific tissues at specific ages is part of the in vivo investigations. New innovative animal models are being established, such as retroviral mouse lines to study the interaction of genes in specific tissues. In addition to mice, in vitro analyses using various cell lines and primary cell and organ cultures are being performed in the lab. For specific questions, chick embryos are used to study developmental aspects of the genes as well.
A key focus of the Lanske Lab has been, and continues to be, FGF-23, a circulating phosphaturic factor produced in osteoblasts, osteocytes, cementoblasts, and odontoblasts. FGF-23 inhibits renal phosphate reabsorption and vitamin D synthesis, thus playing a key role in phosphate homeostasis. Mutations in FGF-23 and genes that regulate its expression and activation have been linked to several disease processes, including autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (ADHR), oncogenic osteomalacia (OOM) and X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), autosomal recessive hypophosphatemia with hyperphosphaturia (ARHR). Research in the Lanske Lab has provided important data regarding FGF-23, its relationship to other mineral homeostasis regulators such as PTH (parathyroid hormone), Klotho and vitamin D and how it functions in these disease processes. FGF-23 was also found to affect bone mineralization independent of its role in systemic phosphate homeostasis, adding significant new data regarding FGF-23's physiological properties. The work in the lab continues to explore the complex interactions of FGF-23, PTH, vitamin D and other molecules using a new innovative mouse model for which Dr. Lanske received one of the few Challenge Grants from the National Institutes of Health.
More recently the Lanske Lab has expanded its research to investigate the role of Klotho during chronic kidney disease (CKD). Special emphasis is given to explore the possible role and source of Klotho in the development of metabolic bone disease (MBD - renal osteodystrophy). Furthermore, sophisticated in vivo techniques are being applied to identify the responsible genes and/or signaling pathways involved in the development of parathyroid gland hyperplasia during various diseases.
The Lanske Lab is also investigating how Indian hedgehog (Ihh), PTH-related protein (PTHrP) and other factors regulate the growth and maintenance of skeleton. These processes are controlled by a complex network of genes, and unraveling this network is critical to understanding and developing clinical responses for developmental defects, disease processes and skeletal regeneration. The work on Ihh has revealed crucial information on the roles of this and other key genes in the core regulatory mechanism of the development and maintenance of the growth plate and subsequently endochondral bone formation. Recent experiments have identified additional factors in this regulatory network which are now being included in the investigations.

Fields of Interest
1) HTRA1-DDR2-MMP-13 Axis in Development of Osteoarthritis
Based upon the data from our investigations and others' studies, we propose a molecular sequence of events underlying articular cartilage degeneration as follows: Excessive mechanical stresses (either by normal mechanical loading of defective joints or overloading of normal joints) can activate signaling pathways in chondrocytes, such as transforming growth factor beta 1 and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. This, in turn, induces expression of a serine protease, high temperature requirement A1 (HTRA1). Consequences of the induction of HTRA1 are degradation of the pericellular matrix of chondrocytes and enhanced exposure of chondrocytes to type II collagen. Interaction of chondrocytes with type II collagen results in enhanced signaling through a cell membrane receptor tyrosine kinase, discoidin domain receptor 2 (DDR2), which induces the expression of the matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13), as well as expression of DDR2 itself. MMP-13 degradation of type II collagen and aggrecan results in type II collagen and aggrecan fragments, which in turn may activate signals that further increase the synthesis of MMP-13. The result is a feedback amplification loop that causes irreversible articular cartilage degeneration. Currently, we are utilizing mouse genetic approaches to test this molecular sequence of the events in development of OA.
2) Genetic regulation of skeletogenesis
One of the interesting questions in the study of skeletogenesis is how chondrogenesis and osteogenesis are coordinated during endochondral bone development (hypertrophic cartilage replacement by bone). We have been addressing this question by utilizing a mouse mutant strain, osteochondrodystrophy (ocd). The ocd is a spontaneous mutation and homozygous, ocd/ocd, mice exhibit a short stature approximately 7 days after birth. Results from histology analysis demonstrated abnormality in growth plates of the mutant mice, such as disorganized proliferating chondrocyte columns, a reduction in numbers of proliferating chondrocytes, a small size of hypertrophic chondrocytes, a decrease in amount of trabecular bone. This suggests that ocd is a critical genetic factor regulating chondrogenesis and bone formation during the most active phase of skeletal growth. For understanding the nature of the ocd mutation, we established a high-resolution genetic linkage map of the ocd locus and obtained the physical map of the genomic interval including ocd. The interval contains about 1.1 million DNA base pairs. We found the mRNA level of one of the open-reading frames within the genomic interval was dramatically reduced, compared with that of the wild-type littermates. The cDNA and 2 kb up-stream DNA sequence of this open-reading frame was sequenced. No simple mutations, such as a point mutation, deletion and insertion, have been identified in the open-reading frame in ocd/ocd mice. We plan to continue our effort to identify the ocd mutation by direct DNA sequencing of the entire genomic interval of the ocd region.

Whitman Laboratory
Malcolm R. Whitman , PhD, Professor of Developmental Biology
Our laboratory is interested in how cellular signals regulate biological responses to disease, damage, or stress within an organism, and how these same cellular signals effect the formation and movement of tissues within a developing embryo. A major lab focus is defining the molecular basis for the specificity of ligands of the TGFß superfamily during the processes of disease, tissue regeneration, and embryonic patterning. TGFßs are critical regulators of inflammation and autoimmunity, wound healing, muscle and bone maintenance, tumor cell behavior, and embryonic patterning. Many of these activities are important potential targets for pharmacotherapy. Our long-term goal is to establish the molecular basis for the specificity of clinically important responses to TGFß, making possible new approaches to disease therapy through signal inhibition.

Baron Laboratory
Roland Baron , DDS, PhD, Chair and Professor of Oral Medicine, Infection, and Immunity; Professor of Internal Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital
The Baron laboratory focuses on signal transduction and the ways in which it controls cell differentiation and function. For this purpose, members of the lab study primarily skeletal development and remodeling as a model system. In this context, the program of the laboratory is divided in three well-defined but highly interactive main research goals:
1. Understanding the role of the AP1 family of transcription factors, specifically Delta FosB in skeletal development and in particular in the determination of mesenchymal cell lineages between the osteoblast and adipocyte cell types.
2. Characterizing the role of Src tyrosine kinase and its substrate Cbl in the signaling from integrins and other receptors involved in cell adhesion and migration, the role of ubiquitination in these processes, and the role of these processes in cell migration, using as a model system the migration and function of the bone resorbing cell, the osteoclast.
3. Characterizing the molecular mechanisms by which the G Protein-coupled calcitonin receptor regulates the cytoskeleton, adhesion and migration in osteoclasts, and its cross-talk with integrin signaling, Src, Cbl, and the focal adhesion kinase Pyk2.
Dr. Baron's approach combines in-vitro and in-vivo experiments—often involving genetically modified transgenic or knockout mice and their isolated cells—that integrate molecular, cellular, and in-vivo studies to determine both the molecular mechanisms of cell biology and pathology and the impact of these mechanisms and their alteration at the organ level in normal and disease conditions. This work is directly relevant to several medical issues, including osteoporosis, bone metastasis in cancer, cancer itself through his focus on several proto-oncogenes, and endocrine disorders.

Psittacosis is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Chlamydia psittaci, which is found mainly in birds of the parrot family (psittacine) including parrots, parakeets, love birds, macaws, and cockatoos. The bacterium has also been found in poultry, pigeons, canaries, and sea birds.
Psittacosis is reportable to the Iowa Department of Public Health by Iowa Administrative Code 641 IAC 1.
Symptoms of psittacosis can take from one to four weeks to appear after exposure but usually occur within one to two weeks. Symptoms can include any of the following:
Human disease is most often mild or moderate but can be severe, especially for untreated patients.
Psittacosis is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia psittaci which is carried in bird droppings. People become infected by breathing in bacteria from dried droppings, secretions, and dust from feathers of infected birds. Infected birds often appear healthy and can have lifelong infections. Pet birds are frequently the source of human infection. It isn't known how long people remain contagious. The disease is not typically spread from person-to-person and usually occurs only where there is severe coughing from the disease.
Pet birds, especially psittacine birds, are often the cause of infection, especially when owners clean a cage with dried droppings. Occupational exposure can also occur when workers are exposed to areas with contaminated dust during clean up, repair or demolition. Laboratory infections have occurred as well. Farms or rendering plants may be a source of exposure for workers. Many seemingly healthy birds may shed the agent when stressed by crowding or transport. Dramatic outbreaks may occur in poultry packing plant workers. Anyone exposed to the dust and droppings of infected birds is at risk for becoming infected.
The following precautions should be observed to prevent the spread of psittacosis:
Psittacosis is treated with tetracycline type antibiotics. If you suspect you have been exposed, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
No cases of psittacosis have been reported in Iowa since 2005.
For more detailed information and statistics on all notifiable diseases, please see our current annual report.

A cycling classic republished in elegant new hardback
Philippe Brunel's painstakingly assembled anthology of tales and photography quickly became a touchstone for fans of road racing, capturing the ethos and aesthetic of decades of the sport. It is a book born of days in the archives and from countless hours of interviews, making it an indispensible companion for anyone drawn in by the golden age of professional cycling.
After spending many years out of print, Kings of Pain: Masters and Convicts of the Road has been republished by Rapha, featuring re-scanned, duotone photography on Fedrigoni paperstock, bound in high-quality Buckram. From Fausto Coppi in his pyjamas to Bernard Hinault sulking on the train, Kings of Pain consists of some of the peloton's most compelling stories and images.
Be they brave, fragile, or a touch crazy, this book celebrates the riders as human beings and I can't think of a more important or fitting tribute to the sport.
From Simon Mottram's foreword to Kings of Pain
Key features:
- 160 pages
- Dimensions (trimmed paper size): 28 x 24.4cm
- Duotone photography
- Text features in metallic Pantone
- Fresh translation
- Premium-quality Fedrigoni paper stock
- Hardbound in high-quality Buckram

9 Style Tips To Impress Your Boss
- 1 of 18
If you're one of those rare creatures who nails their office outfit every single day, this article isn't for you. For the rest of us (ourselves included!), a little guidance to avoid the common pitfalls of work dressing never hurts. Because, we hate to scare you, there's probably at least one outfit faux pas you might be unknowingly committing. Read on to make sure you never earn the dreaded side eye from your boss.
- 2 of 18
Tip 1:
When in doubt, opt for closed-toe heels.
- 3 of 18
Tip 2:
Daring to go sleeveless? Just make sure the dress or top's shape is structured, and the fabric extends further out onto the shoulder.
- 4 of 18
Tip 3:
A polished up-do makes a better impression than loose locks.
- 5 of 18
Tip 4:
If you have a second of hesitation about a dress or skirt being too short for the office, you shouldn't wear it.
- 6 of 18
Tip 5:
Once your nail polish starts to noticeably chip, touch it up or remove the polish entirely.
- 7 of 18
Tip 6:
Avoid wearing wrinkled clothing to the office. We suggest investing in a steamer. It's a quick and easy alternative to ironing your clothes in the morning. Still seem too complicated? Downy's Wrinkle Release ($7) spray is genius.
- 8 of 18
Tip 7:
Heels! They look infinitely more polished than flats.
- 9 of 18
Tip 8:
If you can get away with jeans at the office, make sure they pass this three-prong test: they can't be faded, skin-tight, or ripped.
- 10 of 18
Tip 9:
If you want to wear a more casual item, like flats or a t-shirt, balance it out with professional pieces, like a blazer and smart trousers.

Audubon prints real or not?
We have 4 prints framed in various sizes. They came from our family estate. Appear to be real and hand colored and names check out. Without undoing frame is there any way to tell if they are indeed real. Mostly squirrels. Thanks for any help.

You'd really have to take them out of the frame and have them physically examined. The Audubon prints have been reproduced several times, some of them very convincingly. There is the original Havell editions date 1827-38 and the Bien Edition, 1858-1860. Here's a link as to what to look for: Original Audubon Prints

Ive watched both Hillman and Mertens. I had been doing Mertens program with my pup until my Hillmans Dvd came in the mail and i like the HIllmans much better. It more structured it seems and fits ME better. I have seen the numbers some of yall have broke down that says each training "day" last a few actual day before moving on to the next. My question is , If you feel your pup hasnt fully "grasp" what your doing should you hold back until you feel he understands it? I know on Mertens dvd she says that but i dont remember hearing Hillman mention anything about what to do if the pup isnt ready to move to the next progression or day. Thanks

"i guess the old saying 'those of us that think we know everything annoy those of you that does' " --bobbyb 9/13/06
"A Good Dog is a Good Dog"
I believe anyone with a fire breathing retriever puppy would do that dog a disservice not using Bill Hillman's material. Imagine that little fire breather sitting calmly watching birds down then unleashing that dog's God given talents.
I like to start our little ones with my wife doing crate training, house manners while using Sound Beginnings material. As things progress we move to Bill Hillman's puppy program. I'm thinking Bill prob wouldn't have any problem interspersing treat training in house while working on his puppy program.
I like Bill's "The Fetch Command" much more than the fetch command on the later part of the original "puppy" DVD.
I think all of DVD's including upcoming ones with the additional blog and U-tube info make for an amazing ever expanding training philosophy. I feel my dogs are ready to stay and train at home or excel with a professional trainer.
I truly believe this training method just feels right and fair to the amazing animals we are molding. It's all about "Balance".
Also remember "Never get mad a puppy!!" (sometimes hard to do) or any of our older retrieving buddies.
My wife Mary thinks Bill should have said "Never get mad at a puppy or your wife" in the original puppy DVD.

A lot of the first videos posted on their YouTube Channel have been removed. Mrs. Mary said b/c those were going to the Basics DVD. They still have a lot left there on the channel.
As far as I know, they were posting most of their more recent videos at http://www.billhillmann.net/blog/
You can go through the archives there. It hasn't been updated much lately as they were preparing for the video, but there's a lot of great stuff there as he seems to be going more and more in his own direction.

Las Vegas, September 22, 2009 – To make it easier to share and manage documents using the new imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging and office solutions, today introduced imageWARE Document Server, a document management application designed to expand upon the sophisticated collaborative capabilities of the new imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series.
imageWARE Document Server represents the server component of a comprehensive collaboration and document management solution. The newly announced imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series of multifunction devices incorporates an abundant collection of features designed to facilitate collaboration and sharing of documents. To fully take advantage of this technology and to extend the interaction of the powerful MFP to desktop users, Canon also introduced imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop utility software on the new imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series. Users can utilize imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop for desktop publishing, remote device monitoring and personal document storage/management activities. When using the software for personal document management activities, the addition of imageWARE Document Server will enable the same users to share documents with other personnel in workgroups or departments within their organization.
imageWARE Document Server is a server application that simply connects the imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop utility and enables workers to collaborate and share information in a networked environment. imageWARE Document Server incorporates a variety of popular document management functions, such as Check In/Check Out, Version Control, Full Text Search, Audit Trail and User Index Search. imageWARE Document Server was developed using Windows SharePoint Services, Microsoft's popular and reliable collaboration platform, helping to make the system easy to deploy and enable IT administrators to easily manage and configure the system from any personal computer using a Web browser.
"The new imageWARE Document Server will help to further extend the information reach of knowledge workers to the departmental level," said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. "The combination of imageWARE Document Server and the advanced desktop and device functionality built into the new imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series will allow workers to easily share and manage information and documents with co-workers."
imageWARE Document Server, licensed on a per server basis, is expected to be available for purchase and shipment during the fourth quarter of this year through Canon authorized dealers and Canon Business Solutions locations. Suggested retail pricing for the software will be made available at the time of product shipment.

If it were possible, we'd invent a new adjective to describe the subject of today's Style Stalker, Aureta Thomollari, as the word "fabulous" seems to fall short of this fashionable globetrotter with the covetable closet! As a style blogger and entrepreneur, Thomollari documents her life--and her endless parade of glamorous ensembles--on Aureta's Blog. Whether she's jet-setting between her three main bases (Washington D.C., New York, and Los Angeles) or traveling to far-flung destinations (Qatar, Japan, and Korea, to name a few), Thomollari always assembles pitch-perfect outfits that reflect her surroundings as much as her eclectic, sophisticated sensibilities.Though Thomollari is somewhat of a fashion chameleon, sporting a breathtaking backless gown one day and quirky printed pants the next, the well-traveled savant has an eye for dramatic pieces. In fact, we think her outfits exude an anything-but-basic vibe! From a little black dress elevated with military-inspired buttons to a sweater-and-jeans combo edged up with silver accents, Thomollari aims to create memorable looks that you won't find anyone else wearing-and that's precisely why she's our June style stalkee.
Thomollari's international travels may help curate her closet, but we scoured the market for similar alternatives that will surely lend you her elegant aesthetic. And the best part is you won't even need a passport to snag this tastemaker's stunning style! Make sure to read on for details about each of Thomollari's perfectly executed ensembles, as well as learn more about her favorite trends, style icons, and more in our exclusive Q&A with her.--Tiffany Tse

Q&A with Aureta Thomollari
Please describe your personal style in two sentences or less.
It's hard to give an objective answer; my style is organic, perhaps eccentric and artistic, influenced by Old World glamour and peppered with my various life experiences and loves.
How does the city you live in inspire your day-to-day style?
Due to my passion for traveling, I feel I'm a citizen of the world. Thus, rather than influence, each city I visit informs the way I dress. The flavors, colors, and scents of the various cultures I am fortunate to encounter help broaden my experiential vocabulary and thus inherently contribute to my sense of style. I'm not of one city or dress, rather I'm a personalized amalgam.
List some of your favorite current trends and why you appreciate them/how you are wearing them.
I am loving the floral prints this season. From Erdem and Mary Katrantzou to Celine and Isabel Marant, nothing says spring to me like flowers. I work beads and sequins into the mix to add texture and light, and have been wearing my Murua flower-print pants with my Isabel Marant floral jacket nonstop. I'm so in love, in fact, I just ordered a pair of Mother's exotic, floral A Day in Paradise jeans and can't wait to wear them!
Who are some of your style icons and why?
My favorite style mavens have to be Tina Chow and Grace Jones. They were both natural, luminous, and daring; ahead of their time, but always at ease with their anachronism. Polar styles, visionary confluence.
Name one go-to piece in your closet and why.
If I had to wear one thing daily, it would be my Issey Miyake black pleated dress. I've had it for 11 years now and I still love it. The craftsmanship is insane-it looks simple from afar, yet not one pleat has ever fallen out, not one stitch is ever out of place. Its timelessness always refreshes me.
What are some of your favorite places to shop? Again, please be specific and feel free to include online and brick-and-mortar stores.
I love Maxfield and Barneys in LA, Hu's Wear in DC, Colette in Paris, Calypso in St. Barth, Jeffrey in NY, Dover Street Market in London, 10 Corso Como in Seoul and Milan, LGB and Bedrock in Tokyo. Also, LA has amazing vintage stores and flea markets; Shareen Vintage, Rose Bowl, Decades, and Resurrection are standouts. For online shopping, I love Net-A-Porter.
What are some of your fashion sites/blogs?
