Examining the Clinical Utility of Subjective Visual Horizontal (SVH) Testing During Unilateral Centrifugation (UC) Testing
Alyssa Whinna
Dr. Jorge Gonzalez; Audiology and Speech Pathology Department
Examining the clinical of SVH during unilateral centrifugation will be the expansion of current knowledge regarding the assessment of otolithic function. Assessing otolithic function has historically been a limitation of traditional balance testing, as traditional balance testing primarily assesses the horizontal semicircular canals. Examining SVH of individuals with normal vestibular function during unilateral centrifugation will enable the creation of more clinical tools to evaluate otolithic function, thus allowing a proper diagnosis of individuals with vestibular dysfunction. This research was presented at the American Balance Society on March 4, 2015, and was well received with interesting questions regarding the clinical utility of SVH during CH testing.

Dr. Candice Klingerman; Biological and Allied Health Sciences Department
Understanding how specific proteins of the brain effect eating habits and therefore sexual behavior is especially important, and may one day lead to a cure for obesity. Maintaining proper nutritional uptake is essential for achieving reproductive success, thus overeating has evolved over time in order to ensure and increase success rates. This research is sponsored by a BU Research and Scholarship Grant.
Effects of Specific Neuropeptide Y Subtypes (Y1, Y5) on the Sexual and Ingestive Behavior of Female Hamsters
Shandna Burroughs
Dr. Candice Klingerman; Biological and Allied Health Sciences Department
Overeating has improved reproductive success but in a developing world this mechanism has resulted in obesity and other health complications. Understanding how certain neuropeptides influence ingestive and sexual behavior might give us insight on how to combat obesity. This research is sponsored by a BU Research and Scholarship Grant.
Missed Departure: the Potential Role of GNG4 in Kallmann Syndrome
Andrew King
Dr. William Schwindinger; Biological and Allied Health Sciences Department
Kallmann Syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a defect in cell migration which in some cases is linked to mutations in G-protein coupled receptor signal transduction. by modeling the condition in vitro using cell culture and genomic editing we can gain a greater understanding of the mechanisms behind the condition.

Relative Population Density and Behavioral Time Budgets of Seaside Dragonlets (Erythodiplax bernice) in Impaired and Intact Saltmarsh Habitats
Alan Newnham
Dr. Clay Corbin; Biological and Allied Health Sciences Department
Through statistical analysis of our latest study, Summer 2014, we determined males are less dense than females in both intact and impaired salt marsh habitats. While there is no difference in density with respect to the relative impairment of the environment, dragonlets may be quick to colonize or respond to the restoration efforts. We do not have historical data on dragonlet population densities during the oyster harvesting years, but we assume, given the amount of human activity in the area and a lack of suitable habitat, dragonlet densities were lower. However, males and females both are relatively quiescent in the impaired habitat suggesting this habitat may be an ecological sink. For future studies an incorporation of wider sampling of sites with increased life history scope will help to elucidate environmental factors affecting dragonlet density and source-sink dynamics. This research was presented at the Fall 2014 BU College of Science and Technology Research and Scholarship Day.
Differential Methylation of Gng7 in Normal B6 Mouse Tissues
Ali Hussain
Dr. William Schwindinger; Biological and Allied Health Sciences Department

Chemical Analysis of Solid-State Shear Pulverization Processed Plastics
James Gamler
Dr. Mark Tapsak; Chemistry and Biochemistry Department
Solid-state shear pulverization (SSSP) is a process that uses mechanical energy to chemically modify polymers. This mechanochemical alternation is performed by SSSP without the use of a catalyst or solvent. SSSP used high-shear forces, generated by a twin-screw extruder, to break chemical bonds and form free radicals which can recombine, thereby resulting in new polymer bonds. The polymer mixtures tested in this study were water insoluble (polyurethane at 80%) and water soluble (either poly (1-vinylpyrrolidone) at 20% or poly (1-vinylpyrrolidone-co-2-dimethylyamindethylmethacrylate at 20%). After SSSP was performed, mixtures were analyzed in an attempt to obtain direct evidence of polymer-to-polymer bond formation. Analyses including gel permeation chromatography (GPC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) were performed on these mixtures to test for the new chemical and physical properties.
Cobalt Catalyzed Cyclotrimerization Alkynes: A Comparison Between Using a Microwave Reactor and Traditional Methods
Jocelyn Legere
Dr. Eric Hawrelak; Chemistry and Biochemistry Department
A previously prepared cobalt compound, pentafluorophenylcyclopentadienyldicarbonyl colbalt {[(C6F5)C5H4]Co(CO)2 1}, has been shown to catalytically produce substituted aromatics. Catalytic reactions were initially performed via refluxing in Schlenk glass ware. Using a microwave reactor, the reaction time can be significantly reduced. Catalytic production of aromatics with 1 versus a literature prepared catalyst, (C5H5)Co(CO)2 2, was compared. It was determined that using the fluorinated catalyst the reaction rate was improved versus 2. All compounds were analyzed via 1HNMR. This research was presented at the National American Chemical Society Spring Conference in Denver, Colorado.
The Calculation of Equilibrium Constants and Equivalent Conductivities of Aqueous Lanthanide Solutions
Frank Rodemer
Dr. Greg Zimmerman; Chemistry and Biochemistry Department
This research results in the calculation of two critical fundamental quantities: equilibrium constants and limiting equivalent conductivities. An equilibrium constant gives the proportion of the dissolved chemical species that exist in an aqueous solution for a given salt, and the limiting equivalent conductivity gives how fast the species will move in an electrical field. These quantities are a necessity to the understanding and advancement in a very broad range of fields, from industrial to geochemical processes. This research was sponsored by the BU Honors Program and will be presented at the 2016 American Chemical Society National Meeting in San Diego, California.
Drinking Before the Drills: A Study of Three Pristine Water Sites in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania
Shelby Coleman
Drs. Cynthia Venn and Christopher Hallen; Environmental, Geographical and Geological Sciences, and Chemistry and Biochemistry Departments
During the last decade, technologies have improved allowing for extraction of natural gas from the Marcellus shale at depths of eight to ten thousand feet, opening Pennsylvania for drilling and fracking. Economic reality, however, has caused oil and gas companies to delay drilling at many of the sites for which they have obtained drilling permits. This affords us the opportunity to measure natural non-impacted chemical qualities (aka baseline data) at several ponds in Sullivan County, specifically Sones Pond, Beech Lake and Shumans Lake. This research was sponsored by the Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity Grant (URSCA) and also by the Degenstein Foundation. This research was presented in poster format at the Northeast Section Meeting of the Geological Society of American.
Acid Mine Drainage Treatment System - Pine Forest Mine in St. Clair, Pennsylvania
Audra I. Mitchell
Drs. Cynthia Venn; Environmental, Geographical and Geological Sciences Department
The anoxic limestone drain channels water flowing from the Pine Forest Mine underground through a limestone channel. Oxygen contact with the water is eliminated to keep metal oxides in solution. The water reaches the surface and flows into four consecutive ponds. The limestone raises the pH and alkalinity of the acidic water. Metal oxides precipitate out of the solution and settle at the bottom of the ponds. The treatment system improves the overall quality of the water This research was sponsored by the BU Department of Environmental, Geographical, and Geological Sciences, and will presented at Geographic Society of America in Maryland in October 2015.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency contributed to the funding of the Marietta Fire Department's Inspection Program for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing through its Fire Prevention and Safety Grant. The program's design consisted of several elements that included the purchase and installation of free Lifetone HL Bedside Fire Alarms. By combining our funds with the generous grant from FEMA, we were able to purchase a finite number of alarms. Regrettably, we have exhausted our supply and therefore have discontinued that portion of the project. We do, however, continue to advocate to the Deaf and hard of hearing community the use of alerting devices such as the LIfetone Bedside Fire Alarm as we seek to serve and protect from fire all who reside in or pass through the City of Marietta.
The most current alarm that Lifetone offers is the HLAC151 model. It's technologies are scientifically proven to be most effective for waking you in an emergency (lifetonesafety.com). Lifetone recommends this alarm for:

10 SEO Myths that Friggin' Tick Me OffBlog Post: March 09, 2015
One I heard this week: "The internet (and SEO) is the wild west. There are no rules".
Really?! I guess someone better tell all those sites that were hit by Penguin, Panda, or any other algorithm update, filter, or penalty that their suffering is all in their heads.
Actually, I don't think the person who said that to me really believed it. They were angling for a written guarantee of rankings in some ridiculously short time.

Emerging Stocks Drop to Eight-Week Low on Greece, Goldman Cuts
Emerging-market stocks fell, sending the benchmark index to an eight-week low, as concern over Greece's debt crisis deepened, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. lowered its rating on South Korean shares, and oil dropped.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index retreated 0.7 percent to 1,136.66 as of 5:17 p.m. New York time, the lowest close since March 24. South Korea's Kospi Index slipped 0.8 percent to its lowest since April 12 and the Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0.8 percent. Russia's Micex Index slid 0.6 percent as oil fell in New York.
Emerging-market stocks dropped for a fourth day on concern the European debt crisis and China's efforts to curb inflation will slow global growth. European finance chiefs endorsed a 78 billion-euro ($111 billion) bailout for Portugal in Brussels today as they stepped up pressure on Greece to do more to win improved aid terms.
"As far as the peripheral European debt issue is concerned, it's a lot more challenging to resolve because it involves politics as well as economics," said Khiem Do, Hong Kong-based head of Asian multi-asset strategy at Baring Asset Management (Asia) Ltd., which oversees about $10 billion.
European Finance ministers said the role of International Monetary Fund as the contributor of a third of the bailout money for Greece, Ireland and Portugal won't be hampered by the arrest of the IMF's Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn May 14 on sexual-assault charges in New York. Europe's donor countries tied extra money for Greece to pledges that it deepen spending cuts and reap more revenue from asset sales.
Oil Slides
Concern over aid for Greece, coupled with speculation U.S. fuel demand may be slowing, sent oil falling for the first time in three days. It lost 2.3 percent to $96.37 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. OAO Gazprom, the world's biggest natural gas exporter, slid for the fourth day in a row, losing 1.6 percent in Moscow.
Petroleo Brasileiro SA, Brazil's state-controlled oil company, overcame the drop in oil and advanced 1.8 percent after posting first-quarter profit of 10.99 billion reais ($6.72 billion), beating analysts' estimates. Brazil's Bovespa index declined 0.6 percent as most stocks fell on speculation policy makers will lift interest rates for longer than expected to curb inflation, offsetting an increase in first-quarter earnings. Mexico's IPC index advanced 0.2 percent.
Copper for three-month delivery added 0.2 percent in New York. Grupo Mexico SAB, the country's largest mining company, climbed 1.3 percent. The real strengthened the most among Latin American currencies tracked by Bloomberg, rising 0.1 percent.
South Korean Stocks
South Korean stocks were downgraded at Goldman Sachs amid concern inflation isn't abating and the global economy is slowing. The brokerage also reduced its recommendation for Japanese stocks to "underweight," citing "greater cautiousness on U.S. growth."
Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., South Korea's third-largest steelmaker, plunged 9.4 percent, the steepest decline since Jan. 15, 2009. The company was cut to "sell" from "neutral" at Goldman Sachs, which said its earnings growth may slow. Samsung Electronics Co. retreated 1.6 percent after a U.S. trade panel ruled Whirlpool Corp., the world's largest appliance maker, is being harmed by low-cost refrigerators from Mexico and South Korea, paving the way for tariffs on those imports.
Money-Market Rates
In Shanghai, Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd., the world's biggest bank by market value, dropped 1.5 percent after money-market rates jumped the most in three months. China's money-market rate rose on speculation a surge in banks' reserve ratios to a record will lead to a cash squeeze in the financial system.
India's Bombay Stock Exchange Sensitive Index, or Sensex, decreased 1 percent after the commerce ministry reported that the wholesale-price index rose 8.66 percent in April, exceeding the 8.5 percent median forecast in a Bloomberg survey.
The extra yield investors demand to own emerging-market debt over U.S. Treasuries was little changed at 3.02 percentage points, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s EMBI Global Index.

Until We Meet Once More by Josh Lanyon - Romance>LGBTQ>Gay eBookNothing cracks Army Ranger "Stone Man" Vic Black's granite front. A mission to retrieve an injured Navy SEAL from the treacherous mountains of Afghanistan is all in a day's work -- until he learns the missing SEAL is his former lover. This time it's most definitely personal.

Excerpt:Present day, 0001, Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan
"What we don't want," Lt. Colonel Marsden said, "is another Roberts' Ridge."
"Understood, sir."
Army Ranger Captain Vic Black was thirty-two, a tall, broad-shouldered man with dark hair prematurely silver at the temples, and eyes a color a former lover had once referred to as "jungle green." Those light green eyes studied his commanding officer as Marsden, his face lined with weariness, looked instinctively at the silent phone on his desk.
Vic understood only too well what Marsden was thinking. The parallels between this rescue operation and the disastrous Battle of Takur Gar -- commonly known as Roberts' Ridge -- were painfully clear. In the Battle of Takur Gar the rescue of a Navy SEAL had resulted in two helicopters getting shot down and the deaths of seven U.S. soldiers -- including the Navy SEAL, Petty Officer First Class Neil C. Roberts. Yeah, the last thing anyone wanted was another Roberts' Ridge.
Marsden admitted, "I know what you're thinking, but we're in better position to get their man out even if they didn't have their hands full with Akhtar Shah Omar on the other side of the valley."
"That's what we're here for," Vic said woodenly. Well, it was one of the things the rangers were there for. Rapid response. Rescue. Whatever was needed. Like the SEALs, the Rangers were an elite special operations force, highly trained and able to handle a variety of conventional and special op missions -- everything from air assault to recovery of personnel or special equipment. This missing Navy SEAL seemed to qualify as both of the latter.
"No QRF. No TACP. No USAF. Just a three man rescue team carried in by a MH-47 Chinook and inserted at 0200 hours 1000 meters on the Arma mountain range." Marsden pointed to a place on the map.
"Has there been any further communication from the surviving SEAL?" Vic asked, scrutinizing the map. Those impenetrable mountains were riddled with Taliban and al Qaeda fighters. Another enemy was the weather -- it was winter now -- and the brutal terrain. The Shah-i-Kot valley and surrounding mountains provided natural protection. For the last 2,000 years Afghan fighters had successfully resisted everyone from Alexander the Great in 330 B.C., to the British Army in 1800's to the Soviets in 1980.
"No," Marsden replied. "But this is a valuable man with valuable intel. They -- we -- need him back."
"That's what rangers do. Kick down the doors, take care of business, and bring the good guys home safe and sound."
Marsden met Vic's gaze -- reading him correctly -- and grimaced. "I know, Vic. I know. He may be dead. But his IR strobe is still active and a Predator drone live video feed showed him on his feet and making for the landing zone as of two hours ago."
"Good enough," Vic said. And he did mean that. If there was a chance of getting that poor bastard off that fucking mountain in one piece, he was willing to try.
"If we're all very, very lucky, you'll be in and out before the enemy ever knows you dropped by."
Vic nodded curtly. They would all certainly be very lucky if it went down like that. If he developed that kind of luck, he might take up betting on the ponies fulltime when he got back to the States next month. "Does this frogman have a name?" he inquired.
"Lt. Commander Sean Kennedy."
The wallop was like…looking both ways only to get hit by a passing freight train.
"Sean Kennedy?" Vic repeated faintly.
"You know him?"
Marsden was staring at him, and no wonder. Vic's nickname wasn't "Stoney" for nothing. He managed to say evenly, "If it's the same man. Yeah. I knew him. A long time ago."
"Sean Kennedy is a common enough name." Marsden was still eyeing Vic curiously. "Well, it's a small world, and that's a fact. Good friend, was Kennedy?"
The best.
And more.
"Funny how things work out," Marsden said, apparently in one of his philosophical moods. "Well, whether this Kennedy is your Kennedy or not, it looks like it's your job to bring him home. You deploy at oh one hundred hours."

Blood Smear Showing Reduced Red Blood Cell Count : Anemia is caused when there are too few RBCs circulating in the bloodstream. That can happen when they are lost through bleeding, destroyed too quickly or produced too slowly. When a person is anemic, the blood is less effective at transporting inhaled oxygen to cells and retrieving carbon dioxide from the tissues and carrying it back to the lungs to be exhaled.
The hematocrit (Ht or HCT, from the Greek "αιματοκρίτης" which means blood judge'), also known as packed cell volume (PCV) or erythrocyte volume fraction (EVF), is the volume percentage (%) of red blood cells in blood. It is normally 45% for men and 40% for women. It is considered an integral part of a person's complete blood count results, along with hemoglobin concentration, white blood cell count, and platelet count. Because the purpose of red blood cells is to transfer oxygen from the lungs to body tissues, a blood sample's hematocrit—the red blood cell volume percentage—can become a point of reference of its capability of delivering oxygen. Additionally, the measure of a subject's blood sample's hematocrit levels may expose possible diseases in the subject. Anemia refers to an abnormally low hematocrit, as opposed to polycythemia, which refers to an abnormally high hematocrit. For a condition such as anemia that goes unnoticed, one way it can be diagnosed is by measuring the hematocrit levels in the blood. Both are potentially life-threatening disorders.

The Nazi-Holocaust Survivor Romance Novel You Weren't Waiting For
A few weeks ago in New York City, Romance Writers of America held their annual conference. The agenda included the RITA awards, the equivalent of the Oscars of the romance writing world, and one of those nominees, for "Best Inspirational Romance" and "Best First Novel," was a book called "For Such a Time" by Kate Breslin.

A Brief History of Mikveh in the Ghettos
This piece was written by and shared with permission from the Eden Center.
Throughout history, the mikveh has stood at the very core of religious Jewish life and practice, and said to protect the Jewish people both physically and spiritually. It is therefore fitting on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, to explore some of the discourse surrounding mikveh during the Holocaust, when Jewish existence was threatened in both these realms. Though this piece is not an exhaustive examination of the topic, it is meant to join the conversation in an attempt to pay respect to those who endured the suffering and thereby fought for the physical and spiritual survival of our nation.

[Ecademy interviews] Getting all cosy and social. Meet William Buist.
If you haven't yet come across William Buist, you probably aren't on Ecademy much. But if you haven't already met him face to face, spend some time with him. He has established a number of successful enterprises based around collaborating and using social media - and he's got an enviable track record of helping people win more business.yourBusinessChannel has produced a number of shows with William, recorded as part of a series of interviews with Ecademy Blackstars. I gave William some extra time in front of the camera, as he's never short of something intelligent to say. So there are a handful of shows in the playlist below.
Loading playlist ...This interview is one of 16 I conducted late last year with fellow Ecademists. Please take a moment to look at more of them - you'll find the full list here.

Research Institution:
AbstractOBJECTIVE: To provide new and innovative conventional weapon concepts that can neutralize (e.g., kill or decompose) large quantities of containerized chemical and biological warfare agents in a non-permissive environment with no intentional agent release, minimizing collateral effects. DESCRIPTION: For offensive operations, current conventional weapons rely on blast and fragmentation as their primary mechanism to defeat chemical and biological targets. Unfortunately, these same mechanisms can create large and unacceptable consequences through the release of hazardous and toxic materials into the environment. A preferred solution to this problem is the ability to neutralize large quantities of chemical and biological warfare agents within their storage containers and warheads, rendering the agents ineffective to the adversary. This type of capability is envisioned to directly transfer the neutralizing energy, environment, or materials into the containers with no intentional release of the agents. No intentional release of the agents in turn basically negates any potential collateral effects issues. It should be noted that ionizing radiation technologies for bulk neutralization have shown promise in this area, but are beset with potential political and legal issues, as wells as create additional collateral damage concerns. Consequently, alternative conventional technologies are sought that cannot only neutralize large quantities of chemical and biological agents, but are also robust against a wide variety of agent types and can easily be integrated into weapon systems. It is expected that proposed technologies may run the gamut in terms of time and distances to neutralize, and effective performance may be limited to certain building environments. Note this solicitation does not address demilitarization operations, although proposed concepts may be based on similar technologies. PHASE I: Phase I must develop a potential weapon payload conceptual design(s) and its method to neutralize bulk quantities of chemical and biological warfare agents. Concept(s) effectiveness will be proven through modeling and simulation against specific agents and containers stored in both production facilities and storage facilities. The design concept should be benchmarked with data that validates its underlying assumptions. A clear Phase I to Phase II decision point must be part of the final delivery in Phase I along with a roadmap that takes the program through Phase III. PHASE II: Phase II must develop a prototype payload capable of neutralizing chemical and biological warfare agents in typical containers and demonstrate and evaluate the prototype payload against bulk stored biological simulants and measure its effectiveness. The final report must clearly demonstrate how this concept will be made into a fieldable system with a complete discussion of the design tradeoffs required to make this system a viable system for field use. Potential partners for production and future use of the developed technology along with a clear Phase II to Phase III decision point must be included along with a roadmap that takes the program through Phase III. PHASE III DUAL USE APPLICATIONS: Potential dual use applications of this technology include uses by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), Department of Homeland Security, or first responders for industrial accidents, contagious outbreak or toxic spill decontamination needs, and homeland security situations. Technologies may also have dual uses for demilitarization or elimination operations. REFERENCES: 1.

Each Silhouette has been designed to smooth, suck, and slim every inch of a woman's figure. From the high waist all the way down to the lower hips along with the inner thigh which has been suction wrapped and trimmed out. The Enclosed Sculptured yoke and pockets gently smooth out and lift the entire back yoke hip and derriere. Pockets have been custom tailored for each size and belt loops have even been placed at optimal visually slimming points.
Summarized key features:
• Vortex

• Custom tailored pockets in Ration to each size.
The end results are a profoundly improved appearance ‐ woman not only see their body transformed into their ideal shape but also feel instantaneously sucked in and substantially thinner, tighter, and lifted. Designer and co‐founder Seun Lim says, "We're very excited to introduce the new James Jeans Couture Collection. We have been birthing this since the end of last year and we believe we have created something that will truly improve a woman's self image. We have our Core James Jeans Line which already compliments and enhances the form on a daily basis and now for the first time ever we have something that is more of a secret weapon. You may wear them everyday or only pull them on for special occasions, regardless you will be putting on your wonder‐self, a perfect 10 without the scalpel". The James Jeans Couture Collection will be available at exclusive retailers nationwide in January 2012. Patent pending.

Awesome jeans, WOW

This is nonsense:
• Vortex Waist Contouring
• Suction thigh Wrapping
• Sculpted Derriere Volumizers.
• Secret Booster Hip Accentuaters
• Custom tailored pockets in Ration to each size.
Example: If I am not mistaken, every (most) contemporary company sizes there pockets and have a contoured waistband… Suction thigh wrapping. What a joke.
These look amazing!! Can't wait to try a pair on for myself..
Awesome shala. Nice design. I want to buy where i found this?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: brotherhood of lan & mack
Its fairly easy to alter the depth of the emboss, its type and angle of illumination in that feature.
As you are in UK, if you go to a bookshop like Ottakers (don't think WH Smith have a large range) you can browse the shelves to get something that suits you.
You can teach yourself, but it really is much quicker from a book (or better still find someone to give you hands on). Photoshop is so large, that I don't think any of us use it to the full
should be able to teach you the fundamentals without having to shell out for a book!
I find the web very good for many things, but when it comes to learning the itty gritty of fairly complex software like Photoshop, I personally would shell out the fairly modest sum for a book (well modest in relation to the price of Photoshop)

Doylestown, PA (February 1, 2016) – 1 out of 3 Americans admits to being nervous about seeing the dentist and nearly half consider dental visits a "necessary evil," according to the results of an online survey published today. Conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of OPT-In Dental Advantage, the nation's first branded private practice organization dedicated to patient advocacy, the survey found that misconceptions about dental visits persist among a significant portion of Americans.
"Despite considerable advancements in preventative care and technology, making dentistry easier and more comfortable than ever before, patients still have real concerns about dental visits," said OPT-In Dental Advantage Founder and President, Dr. Dean Mersky. "We as dentists have a responsibility to address those concerns. We need to bridge the gap between truth and fiction to create trust between dentists and patients. That's why OPT-In is launching a dental education campaign, Speaking The Tooth, focused on dispelling patients' fears by sharing free and accessible information about everything from the reality of how dental insurance works to what to ask your dentist at every check-up."
The survey of more than 2,000 adults released today also revealed that older patients tend to have more negative perceptions of dental visits than their younger counterparts, and nearly 1 in 5 of those polled lacks certainty about their personal dental health.
"We want to address the factors that are preventing patients from feeling confident and comfortable in their interactions with their dentists," Dr. Mersky explained. "Sharing quality information about the true in's-and-out's of oral health will open communication channels and help make patient-dentist relationships what they should be. It's time to take the worry and mystery out of a dental visit and make the experience one that builds confidence instead."
In support of the aim of empowering patients through access to dental information, Speaking The Tooth materials are now available on the OPT-In website http://www.optindentaladvantage.com/blog.
The UConn School of Dental Medicine has been named winner of the 2016 William J. Gies Award for Outstanding Achievement by an Academic Dental Institution. The Gies Awards are considered to be among the preeminent awards in the field of dental education.
The Gies Awards, named after dental education pioneer William J. Gies, are presented by the ADEAGies Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the American Dental Education Association (ADEA).
"We are truly honored to be the recipient of this prestigious, national award," said Dr. R.L. Monty MacNeil, dean of the UConn School of Dental Medicine. "It is a cooperative achievement, and all faculty, trainees, and graduates of the program since its inception have made significant contributions and should share in our pride. The award extends beyond the dental school and includes the Graduate School and our valued faculty colleagues in the School of Medicine."
The School of Dental Medicine is home to more than 70-full time faculty, 110 staff, and 167 dental students. Founded in 1968, it has issued 1,585 dental medical degrees since its first graduating class of 1972. The School offers a full-range of clinical dental services and last year, provided care for nearly 75,000 dental patients.
The Gies Award for Outstanding Achievement by an Academic Dental Institution recognizes worthy and socially commendable actions that make a substantial contribution to oral health and dental education. The accomplishments of UConn's Skeletal Biology and Regeneration Program were highlighted in the nomination.
The Skeletal Biology and Regeneration Program, one of the seven areas of concentration in the Biomedical Science Ph.D. Program at UConn Health, is highly multidisciplinary and collaborates with basic science departments and centers across the Schools of Medicine and Dental Medicine.
Formerly known as the Skeletal Craniofacial and Oral Biology Program, it was developed in 1980 and was one of the first programs established in the United States dedicated to advancing academic dentistry by educating and preparing outstanding and dedicated leaders in dental education.
"The UConn School of Dental Medicine was considered a pioneer at the time for introducing the DMD/Ph.D. training track," says Dr. Mina Mina, professor and chair of the Division of Pediatric Dentistry, Department of Craniofacial Sciences, and a graduate of the program. "Our alumni have made an impact on the academic world by becoming successful researchers and educators not only in dental institutions but also in medical and graduate schools."
Dr. Caroline Dealy, director of the Skeletal Biology and Regeneration Graduate Program, says, "The program has made a tremendous impact on training academic dentists and continues to educate the next generation of scientific scholars and health care practitioners.
The Gies Award will be presented to UConn on March 14 at the ADEA's Annual Session and Exhibition in Denver, Colorado.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- For the fourth year in a row, Colgate-Palmolive Company ("Colgate"), as part of its Bright Smiles, Bright Futures™ program, and Family Dollar have partnered to inspire African-American families during February's Black History Month to honor their past and treasure their future by paying close attention to overall health and oral hygiene.
February is a special month where the nation acknowledges the strides made in the African-American community. But there's still more to go in the area of oral health care — currently, approximately one-third of African-American adults live with untreated dental caries1. Without proper treatment, tooth decay can progress and eventually result in a cavity or even tooth loss. It's important that parents teach their children about adopting healthy dental habits at an early age, and Colgate and Family Dollar are committed to providing education and improving oral hygiene in families across the U.S. As such, Colgate will be offering exclusive in-store promotions on Colgate® toothpastes, toothbrushes and mouthwash products during February 2016.
"Colgate is thrilled to continue the longstanding partnership with Family Dollar in celebrating Black History Month," says Carla Kelly, general manager of multicultural marketing, Colgate-Palmolive. "We share the common goal of empowering African-Americans and all families to be their best selves by taking charge of their dental and overall health and are proud to bring this program to multiple cities across the U.S. for the fourth year in a row."
The Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® mobile dental van, which reaches more than 1,000 towns and more than 10 million American children each year, will visit 22 select Family Dollar locations in Atlanta, Baltimore, Charlotte, Houston and Memphis this month to provide complimentary dental screenings, wellness packs, and treatment referrals for children ages 3-12. In addition, there will be oral care tips and educational information on hand for the entire family.
St. Louis, February 10, 2016 — Young children (ages 6-10) with severely protruded upper front teeth, commonly called "buck teeth," are at increased risk for dental trauma and may benefit from an orthodontic correction, according to a study published recently in the American Journal of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics*. The study found that approximately 1 in 3 children who were treated for severely protruding teeth were less likely to experience dental trauma (such as a chipped, broken or knocked out permanent tooth).
"Active children who play organized sports or love the playground and who have severely protruding teeth may benefit from early intervention by an orthodontist," says Morris N. Poole, DDS, president of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).
"Youngsters with protruding teeth don't have adequate lip coverage to protect their teeth from a blow or a fall. The result of losing or damaging a front tooth in childhood becomes a lifelong problem. We only get one set of permanent teeth, and the corrective measures to restore or replace a broken or lost tooth can be expensive, and likely will need to be repeated over the course of a lifetime."
According to the study, protruding teeth occur in about 15% of children ages 12-15 in the U.S. and is one of the most common problems treated by orthodontists. Early intervention (before adolescence) is warranted in some cases, say the study's authors. The AAO recommends that all children get a check-up with an orthodontist no later than age 7. If a check-up reveals a child will need orthodontic treatment at some point, the orthodontist will be able to recommend the most appropriate treatment at the most appropriate time.
"Protruding front teeth cause other problems for children. The 'bite' – the manner in which the upper and lower teeth meet – may be improper, and make it difficult for a child to bite food or to chew properly. The condition can interfere with speech for some individuals. And there's an emotional toll, too, for children who may be bullied because of their teeth," says Dr. Poole. "Interceptive treatment addresses the immediate protrusion problem. Parents need to know that most patients will require a second phase of treatment after most or all of their permanent teeth are in to move teeth into their final, optimal positions."
"Parents should also understand that children go through what we call an 'ugly duckling' phase, when permanent teeth begin to emerge and seem too large or appear to be spaced incorrectly," Dr. Poole says. "Most children will 'grow into' their teeth and go through this phase without the need for orthodontic treatment. But for those children whose teeth protrude significantly, I recommend parents take their child to an orthodontist for an evaluation."
AAO's Find an Orthodontist service at www.mylifemysmile.org can locate nearby AAO members. Orthodontists are specialists in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of patients who have misaligned teeth and/or jaws. After graduating from dental school, prospective orthodontists are required to successfully complete 2-3 additional academic years of study in orthodontics at an accredited orthodontic residency program. Only those with this level of formal education may call themselves "orthodontists." Only orthodontists are admitted for membership in the AAO.

(Charlotte, NC, February 10, 2016) – America's ToothFairy: National Children's Oral Health Foundation® and The Salvation Army's National Headquarters announced a new collaborative initiative to address the issue of pediatric dental disease. Joining efforts to maximize resources and impact on the health of underserved children, this partnership will focus on rescuing children from potentially debilitating, yet preventable, tooth decay through oral health education, awareness building, and expanding access to preventive services and treatment.
The Salvation Army will also participate in the America's ToothFairy Smile Drive – a national campaign held throughout February, National Children's Dental Health Month, to collect toothbrushes, toothpaste and other oral care products for underserved children.
"The Salvation Army is committed to addressing the most basic human needs, of which health is one of the most important," said David Jeffrey, National Commander of The Salvation Army USA. "We look forward to collaborating with America's ToothFairy to raise awareness of the devastating impact of pediatric dental disease and to ensure the children and families we serve have access to quality, affordable oral health resources and services."
"We are very proud to partner with The Salvation Army, recognizing their vital contributions to the health and wellness of families across our nation," said Fern Ingber, America's ToothFairy President and CEO. "We can think of no better partner in our effort to serve children and families in need."
Pediatric dental disease is one of the most prevalent illnesses affecting children in the U.S. More than 40 percent of U.S. children have dental cavities by the time they reach kindergarten, and 1 in 5 go without dental care. Left untreated, severe tooth decay can lead to malnourishment, anemia, life-threatening secondary infections and even death.
Dr. Brian Schmidt and Dr. Igor Spigelman will focus on the therapeutic utility of recently developed synthetic cannabinoids, which work to relieve the chronic inflammation and neuropathic pain symptoms of oral cancer without "getting high."
Chronic pain affects more than 50 million adults in the U.S. Upwards of 9 out of 10 cancer patients suffer from pain, with oral cancer ranked consistently as one of the most painful cancers. This chronic pain management represents a major socioeconomic and clinical challenge because the side effects of existing treatments—mainly prescribing opioids—greatly limit their effectiveness, especially over time.
Alternatives to opioid treatment are found in synthetic and naturally occurring cannabinoids (CBs) which have demonstrated effectiveness in numerous chronic inflammatory and neuropathic disorders in both human and animal models. However, major impediments to the widespread use of CB-based therapies are their psychotropic side-effects, mediated by the activation of central nervous system (CNS) CB1 receptors (CB1Rs).
In other words, cannabis-based drugs work wonders to alleviate chronic pain for patients, but up until now they have come with undesirable psychotropic side effects—patients "get high."
"We have developed a novel class of drugs, peripherally-restricted cannabinoids (PRCBs), that are free of central nervous system side effects, for treating chronic pain," said Igor Spigelman, PhD, professor in the Division of Oral Biology & Medicine, UCLA School of Dentistry. Brian L. Schmidt, DDS, MD, PhD professor in the NYU College of Dentistry Department Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and director of NYU's Bluestone Center for Clinical Research and the NYU Oral Cancer Center, added: "With this funding, we propose to broaden our research to determine the antitumor potential of PRCBs, their effectiveness against cancer pain, and also against chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain."
The purpose of the five-year, $2,494,784 R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute (NIH/NCI) is to test PRCBs for oral cancer and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy pain reduction. To this end, the research team proposes three specific aims for their investigations:
1. To examine the efficacy of novel PRCBs against the chronic pain symptoms of oral cancer. The team hypothesizes that cancer pain can be alleviated by decreasing sensory fiber activation and by reducing tumor burden. Molecular and clinical assays will be used to quantify the anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects of PRCBs. Other experiments will measure the decrement and restoration of orofacial function following PRCB administration. The team will also study the effectiveness of continuous PRCB administration and the possible development of tolerance to the PRCBs for the relief of cancer pain symptoms.
2. To examine the effects of novel PRCBs on proliferation and apoptosis of human oral carcinoma cell lines. Using state-of-the-art sensors which can monitor the reduction in the cancer tumor's size or rate of growth in real time, the researchers look to measure the dose-response rates of their synthetic cannabinoids being administered.
3. To determine the effectiveness of PRCBs to suppress or prevent the painful symptoms of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathies (CIPNs) without the psychotropic effects of traditional CB treatment. CIPN is a major side effect of chemotherapeutic agents. The researchers have developed their synthetic cannabinoids which have been shown to suppress CIPN symptoms in male rats via CB1R activation, at doses that produce no CNS side effects, and without development of tolerance to daily dosing. Given potential advantages of PRCBs over brain-penetrant cannabinoids, it is important to test if pretreatment with PRCBs can prevent the development of CIPN.
The research team looks to achieve these aims through the use of innovative and validated operant assays which provide a measure of cerebral processing and orofacial function in mouse oral cancer and rat CIPN models. Gender differences in cancer and CIPN pain sensitivity and their responsiveness to PRCBs will be determined. The researchers note, to their knowledge, that no one has studied gender differences in CBR responsiveness in CIPN. Therefore, putative gender differences in responsiveness to PRCBs in CIPN and their causes must be explored. It is also important to establish dose parameters for continued suppression of CIPN symptoms during continuous PRCB administration. The team will also look at whether PRCBs are more or less effective in reducing oral cancer pain in male versus female mice. While oral cancer pain affects men more often than women, it can be profoundly difficult to relieve in both sexes.
"In order to further characterize PRCBs, we plan to perform pharmacokinetic studies and determine their receptor targets with tissue-specific transgenic mice," said Dr. Schmidt. "We will be looking at how the synthetic cannabinoid moves through and out of the body, charting the time-course of its absorption, bioavailability, distribution within the tissues, and measuring the body's ability to effectively metabolize the drug."
In order to measure potential off-target actions and peripheral side effects of PRCBs, the researchers will use a suite of invasive and non-invasive physiological tools, assessing the potential development of tolerance to PRCBs after chronic administration.
"We are keenly interested to determine if pretreatment with PRCBs may actually prevent oral cancer pain and reduced oral cancer proliferation," said Dr. Schmidt. "Successful completion of the proposed studies would allow us to translate pre-clinical findings to a clinical trial; thus this work would improve outcomes for cancer patients."
From a public health perspective, the researchers note that, tragically, approximately half of all oral cancer patients will not be cured with surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the US; however, in certain regions of the world it is the most common cancer. The intensity of oral cancer pain escalates with disease progression, and terminal patients generally experience debilitating pain during their final months of life. Currently, there is little that can be done for these patients. The global burden of oral cancer pain is enormous.

Miami, FL, Feb. 8 2016 -- MIS Implants, a global leader in implant dentistry, announced today a Mini-Fellowship program in implant dentistry which will be held in conjunction with the University of Miami's Division of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. The program, which will consist of four modules, will be held at the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine with faculty from the school's Division of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. The Mini-Fellowship is being sponsored by the Dental Implant Training Center (DITC), a program supported by an unrestricted educational grant from MIS Implants Technologies, Inc.
The program chair, Dr. Michael Peleg, has held various roles in the University Miami School of Medicine including Professor of Clinical Surgery, Residency Program Director, and Fellowship Program Director. Dr. Peleg has designed the mini-fellowship program to allow clinicians with limited Implantology experience to gain an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of implant dentistry including but not limited to: Anatomy, osseointegration, treatment planning, bone grafting, socket preservation, immediate implant placement, sinus augmentation, prosthodontics, occlusion and biomechanics, aesthetics, guided surgery, and complications in implant dentistry.
The four-module program will be held April 8,9; May 6,7; May 20-21; and June 10-12. All modules will consist of both a didactic portion and hands-on experience. The course will be limited to no more than 15 participants to ensure one on one interaction between the faculty and participants. The Mini-fellowship program is priced at only $5,900, which is a considerable savings from similar programs thanks to MIS's donation.
"It's our policy that we do not profit on education so we are able to offerworld class programs such as the University of Miami Mini-Fellowship at a fair price. I am really excited to kick-off this program and to continue our long standing relationship with the faculty at the University of Miami Division of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery." - Motti Weisman, MIS Implants USA President and Chairman of the Board

Do you want the captions permanently written onto the image, or do you want them to be overlayed on the photo while browsing the imaes in Aperture?
- To add the captions as part of the image file you will need an external editor or a plug-in - Aperture does not do compositing. Use the versatile BorderFX plug-in (download from the BorderFX's site. ), the free Gimp, Photoshop, Pixelmator, or simply Preview.
- To see captions while browsing, enable Metadata overlays and edit the Metadata presets, or enable captions in a slideshow (in the settings for individual slide).
See this manual page for how to display the metadata with your images: Displaying Metadata with Your Images

Development Studies
Development Studies is an interdisciplinary concentration whose main mission is to provide students with the knowledge, critical perspectives and skills they need to engage with the issues of economic and social development, especially as they relate to the Global South. The concentration is grounded in the social sciences – anthropology, sociology, political science, and economics – but it also heavily draws from history, art, and other disciplines in the humanities. The requirements are designed with three goals in mind: first, provide concentrators a solid foundation in the question of development; second, allow concentrators to develop expertise in a specific region that is of interest to them; third, give concentrators access to a wide range of courses in a large number of disciplines of interest to them. Concentrators are encouraged to do their own original field research. During the senior year, concentrators complete a capstone experience tailored to their interests in some aspect of international development. Towards this end, they benefit from extensive faculty and peer support.
Here's what concentrators from the classes of 2012, 2013, and 2014, reported they were doing in their first year after graduation.
