SIKESTON - Stories of able-bodied people "drawing a Social Security check" are all too familiar for many people in this area. If you ask around, it's not hard to find someone who can tell you about someone they know who has allegedly "cheated the system."
Evidently the Social Security Administration has heard enough: Sikeston was approved in September to receive funding for a law enforcement officer to be assigned primarily to investigating Social Security fraud.
"He actually started his duties in October," said Capt. Mark Crocker of the Sikeston Department of Public Safety. "He's part of a task force for the Social Security Administration, and he works out of our office. He's part of DPS staff."
The Social Security Administration is funding the position with the goal of "cutting back on Social Security and disability fraud," according to Crocker. "It was a request from the Social Security Administration. They had reviewed statistics and determined the Bootheel was disproportionately high in the number of people receiving disability."
The latest figures from the Sikeston Social Security Office show as of December 2003, there were 1,726 people receiving Supplemental Security Income benefits in Scott County for a total of $671,000 per month, up from 1,649 recipients five years ago.
The number of SSI recipients in New Madrid and Mississippi counties actually dropped since 1998 from 731 to 696 recipients and 1,123 to 1,066, respectively.
The dollar amounts, however, have grown from $233,000 in Mississippi County to $260,000 and from $350,000 to $367,000 in New Madrid County due to cost-of-living increases.
Total figures for the beneficiaries of Social Security disability program which may include SSI recipients among them, are not available for 1998, but from December 1999 to December 2003, they number rose from 1,765 recipients to 2,040 in Scott County with a total dollar amount rising from $1,008,000 to $1,348,000.
For both the Social Security disability program and SSI, "the definition for disability is the same," according to Vernestine Bounds, district manager for Sikeston Social Security office.
Examples of fraud include working without reporting it to Social Security; a unreported improvement of a medical condition; or even a medical condition that the recipient never actually had.
"He'll be all over the Bootheel area," Crocker said of the investigator, working as far north as Cape Girardeau, down to the Arkansas border and west as far as Poplar Bluff.
Crocker said Sikeston was selected as the base of operations "probably for central location."
The program will allow the Social Security Administration a chance "to see if its feasible before they expand it on to other areas," Crocker said. "It's kind of a pilot program. I think there were only two approved across the entire country and we were one of them."
The Social Security fraud investigator will be a familiar face to many Sikeston residents, although officials declined to name the officer as it may impede his ability to conduct investigations. "It was one of our existing detectives," Crocker said. "In the event of a major crisis, we can still call him in to do our work, too."
With the position being funded by the Social Security Administration, the money formerly used by the city to pay this detective can now be used by DPS to bring in another public safety officer, according to Crocker.

121 Tasting Notes
One of the better Earl Grey teas I've had; I let my steep a minute or so longer than the recommended steep time (I like my Earl Grey strong). Good all around aroma and flavor; the stronger it is the better it holds up with milk and sugar (the way I prefer my black teas). Don't notice that the decaf detracts from the flavor at all.
First thing to notice: Nice aroma, notes of pumpkin, a bit of spice, and white chocolate in equal parts; very warming.
When brewed (5 minutes, boiling water), the white chocolate chips melt and make the tea a bit murky, but the flavor isn't as heavy and oily as I thought it might be. (The NecessiTeas' Tuxedo Strawberry, which also has chocolate chips and chocolate flavoring, is a bit heavier and slightly oily because of the chocolate.) Still has a nice warming aftertaste, not much sharp spice as one might find with other spiced teas / chai, but a nice smooth all-around subtle pumpkin spice flavor. Must add milk (full milk or half-and-half) and a bit of sugar to round out the tea.
When I opened the container, I first noticed just how gorgeous the tea smelled and looked: It smelled strongly of chocolate covered strawberries (my favorite flavor), complete with chocolate chips and small bits of strawberries. The aroma was just amazing.
The brewed tea itself was not as good as it smelled, though. It tasted a bit heavy and slightly greasy (because of the chocolate chips melting); it also looked and tasted slightly murky (for the same reason). It did hold up very well with milk and sugar, and I would not drink this tea without adding regular milk or half-and-half (adding 2% or skim milk would not be good). I could drink this tea a cup at a time, but not several cups in a row.
Nice subtle aroma of chocolate marshmallow, and a few notes of cherry, too. Nicely rounded, held up very well with milk (in my case, half-and-half) and sugar; very smooth! Not too sweet; a small amount of sugar did the trick to bring out some of the subtleties of the sweetness in the tea. Good dessert tea.
What a great tea! Brewed mine for about six minutes, added milk and sugar, and was a warm, well-rounded, cup of tea without any bitter aftertaste. Light cinnamon aroma, slightly nutty; didn't smell the carrots but definitely had a flavor of carrot cake. Not a heavy flavor, though, and not overtly sweet.
Has a wonderfully deep, rich, classic cacao aroma, unsweetened pure chocolate that smells like cocoa nibs (not surprising). Without milk or sugar it had a clean, chocolate flavor, but unsweetened, and with a bit of a bitter aftertaste. With half-and-half and sugar, the residual bitterness disappeared, yet the tea retained its pure chocolate aroma and flavor.
I steeped mine for 5 minutes using boiling water (their 0.5 ounce sample was for two servings), but I think in the future I would use a little bit more tea for two cups (granted, I use larger mugs for my day-to-day tea) and steep for another minute or two, but no longer.
One of my new favorites!
I love Earl Grey; it's my favorite blend. I also enjoy it when blended with lavender or vanilla / creme notes. I enjoyed this blend as well; I steeped mine for 5 minutes, and in the future would add 2 teaspoons per 8-ounce serving. Really nice Earl Grey and cream aroma; held up well with milk and sugar.
I could see how the flavor combination might not appeal to everyone, and I was a bit hesitant myself at first, but it's an interesting combination, one I hadn't thought would work well – especially with the addition of milk and sugar. The lime is subtle, and builds: The more you drink, the more lime you can taste. The coconut and chocolate are in fairly equal parts, both complemented and made a bit stronger by the addition of milk and sugar. (The lime remains the most subtle of the flavors.) The aroma is equal parts lime and coconut, with the chocolate being the most subtle of the three. An interesting tea!

Mercosur was founded in 1991 by Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay with the signature of the Treaty of Asuncion. Venezuela is a full member since July 2012, Bolivia is in the process of becoming a full member since December 2012; while Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru are associated states. Its Secretariat is based in Montevideo and it has a six-month rotating Presidency.
Profound asymmetries in size and economic characteristis among its members might translate into differences in capacity. The European Union has favoured the strengthening of Mercosur and supported its initiatives, notably through the Interinstitutional Agreement to provide technical and institutional support for its newly created structures.
In 1995, the EU and Mercosur signed an Interregional Framework Cooperation Agreement, which entered into force in 1999. A joint declaration annexed to the Agreement provides the basis for the political dialogue between the parties, which takes place regularly at Heads of State, Ministerial and Senior Official levels.
In 2000, the parties opened negotiations for an Association Agreement including three chapters: political dialogue, cooperation and trade. Negotiations were suspended in 2004 over fundamental differences in the trade chapter. Political relations continued, notably with the signature, during the EU-MERCOSUR Summit of Lima in 2008, of an agreement to expand relations to three new areas, science and technology, infrastructure and renewable energy .
After a six-year suspension, negotiations were re-launched in May 2010 at the EU-LAC Summit of Madrid and are ongoing. The objective is to negotiate a comprehensive trade agreement, covering not only trade in industrial and agricultural goods but also services, improvement of rules on government procurement, intellectual property, customs and trade facilitation, technical barriers to trade.
EU is Mercosur first trading partner accounting for 19.8% of Mercosur's total trade with the World and worth €109.895 billion in 2013.
The EU provides assistance to Mercosur through its 2007-2013 Regional Programme adopted in August 2007 in the framework of the Regional Strategy for Mercosur. The Regional programme provides €50 million to support projects in three priority areas:

Basic training project management (IPMA standard)
5-days training
MANAGEMENT: Acquire the basic competences:
- hard skills: respect of time, budget, scope, ...
- soft skills: motivation and communication
Reasons of this program?
A lot of projects occure across the line organization. Most of them are over time or budget, or dont bring the hoped results because there were no clear agreements in the initial stage concerning the objectives and the delimitation of the project.
During their realisation, projects often slow down due to problems that could have been foreseen and avoided using a structured planning and follow up methods, in combination with a good management of risks. Besides, anticipation of problems is one of the basic principles of project management.
When different project are executed simultaneously by the same group of people, problems even become more acute. Nevertheless, leading a project is more than just planning and follow-up. A lack of leadership skills causes demotivation, conflicts, stress and burn-out situations. The motivation of a well-collaborating team requires leadership including relational and communicational skills.
Making clear agreements with the team and other key actors, and systematically follow them up afterwards are probably the most important tasks of the project manager.
What can you expect from this basic training in project management?
This 5-days training is meant for (oncoming) project leaders and procures a qualitative and theoretical knowledge from the hard instrumental and soft social aspects of project management.
During the training, you will familiarise yourself with the basic competences you need to manage a project in a good way.

IPMA Certification of project managers
More and more employers try to stimulate their project managers to obtain the IPMA-certificat because working with IPMA increases the chance to reach the project objectives within time and budget. Project managers themselves believe that the IPMA-certificat proves their capabilities for the job. This proof (IPMA certificat A, B, C or D) will be delivered if the participant passes the exam with an external evaluator (CITO).
What is IPMA?
IPMA, the worlds first project management association, was founded in 1965 by a group of innovative people as a forum for project managers to network and share information.
In order to concretise this, IPMA developped the International Competence Baseline (ICB), which describes the necessary knowledge, skills, experience and attitudes for project management.
IPMA-certification is a system in which project managers can obtain a certification on 4 different levels. Projectmanagers tend indeed to differ in experience as well as in the level in the organization where they operate. This is also applicable to the complexity of the projects they lead. IPMA makes a difference and also makes clear which knowledge and skills project managers possess. Clarity for the employer, the customer, and even for the project manager himself! Besides, IPMA is a rich awareness- and reflection process, that enables project managers to deepen their knowledge and to become more professional.
The IPMA-certificats contain 4 levels with an international validity (in over 40 countries), from starting manager (level D) to experienced, responible program manager on top of the organization (level A):
Level of experience
Certified Project Director
At least 5 years as program manager
Certified Project Manager
At least 5 years from which 3 years complex projects
Certified Project Management Professional
At least 3 years
Certified Project Professional
Bron: CITO
5 reasons for a project manager to choose an IPMA certification
- IPMA certification is appropriate for every branch
- IPMA certification is appropriate for every project manager: the system consists of 4 levels of certification: from IPMA-D (starting project manager) to IPMA-A (senior programme manager or project director)
- IPMA certification is based on competences: IPMA certification evaluates knowledge, skills and attitudes concerning project management
- The IPMA certificate is an objective external evaluation : you can prove your level of excellence with an international diploma
- The IPMA certificate is recognised in over 40 countries

Social commerce has now been around for nearly ten years if you are counting Yahoo!'s initial coining of the term back in 2005, with the introduction to the early generation of digital shopping tools such as "Shared Pick Lists", "User Ratings" and other similar user generated content.
With the introduction of social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter and the now ever-so-popular "Pictionary-Sharing" platform, Pinterest, companies are no-doubtedly seeing the value to capitalize on such platforms. The opportunity seems endless for brands (particularly those in fashion) to increase the brand connection with their most valuable consumers…those who are online and who are social.
A recent study from Forrester Research (conducted by Gina Sverdlov) found evidence to support that a brand's Facebook Fans, are actually their most valuable consumers across all channels. Particularly the study found that Facebook Fans are more likely than Non-Fans to:
- Consider Buying
- Purchase (79% vs. 41%)
- Recommend (74% vs. 38%)
There is a great article from Social Commerce Today, that goes into its details and I highly recommend reading this but the essence to pull from this post, is that the findings are shouting to a more obvious assumption which many Social Media marketers and E-commerce professionals have been trying to argue all along – that Social Media can drive sales and generate a monetary ROI for your organization!
There are seemingly endless amounts of tools, apps and platforms that brands can use to help drive engagement but the challenge that remains is how do you connect the dots from Fan to Revenue? For fashion brands especially, this becomes a hurdle as there aren't many tools that can drive traffic directly from your Facebook Page to your E-store.
Luckily the new Timeline launch for Facebook Pages have been a huge improvement to help fashion brands drive traffic to their products but the major issue is how do you convert the consumer's habits from using Facebook for socializing, to using Facebook for shopping? This has been the age-old (and million dollar) question.
A slow shift is occurring though, with companies like Pinterest doing an excellent job of bridging that gap between commerce and Facebook, as well as Facebook's push towards creating more real estate for app development. These shifts are luckily providing brands the opportunity to push and promote that connection between consumer and brand but even with these improvements, some major hurdles still remain.
In our next post we will go into some examples of how fashion brands are using social commerce tools to bridge the consumer shopping gap and the trends of where the industry is heading.

Some 120,000 women in rural parts of northern India now have access to small loans and increased credit, thanks to a partnership between IFC and Utkarsh Micro Finance, a start-up based in the low-income state of Uttar Pradesh. One of those women, Phool Pati Devi, had struggled for 15 years to earn a living by selling food off a cart that she pushed through her village.
She took her first loan, for a little more than $200, from Utkarsh in 2010 and used the money to open a small grocery store in her house. The store's sales have been brisk, allowing Devi to send her children to a better private school and put $50 in the family savings account each month. Now she is planning her next investment: a refrigerated unit for cold drinks. "I am now able to lead a better life," Devi says.
The micro loans by Utkarsh, which means "progress" in the local language, are aimed at allowing women borrowers to start or expand their businesses. The microfinance institution aims to expand its reach to 500,000 women over the next five years. IFC has invested $1.7 million in Utkarsh, and with advice has helped the company strengthen its operations and establish a credit- and risk management system to support expansion to the lower-income states in India. With IFC's help, the company is instituting practices that avoid over-indebtedness, encourage better credit appraisal policies, and promote transparent pricing.
"Very few bankers and private players want to take risks, especially in those markets that have typically not benefited from mainstream growth in the past," said Govind Singh, Utkarsh's Managing Director and CEO. "IFC's support is helping us reach out to women who have not been served traditionally.

The sale of products from the physician's office raises several ethical issues and may affect the trust necessary to sustain the patient–physician relationship. When deciding whether to sell products out of the office and, if so, which ones, physicians should carefully consider such criteria as the urgency of the patient's need, the clinical relevance to the patient's condition, the adequacy of evidence to support use of the product, and geographic and time constraints for the patient in otherwise obtaining the product. Physicians should make full disclosure about their financial interests in selling the product and inform patients about alternatives for purchasing the product. Charges for products sold through the office should be limited to the reasonable costs incurred in making them available.

The World Climate Research
Programme (WCRP) organization comprises many partners
and stakeholders around the world. Each of these contributes services, information,
solutions or funds into the global WCRP enterprise. The overarching
objectives of all members of this network are to contribute to improved
understanding of the climate system, climatic change and the interactions
between climate, people and the environment.
Together with the International
Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), the International
Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP) and DIVERSITAS,
WCRP provides the international framework for scientific cooperation
in the study of global environmental change through the Earth
System Science Partnership (ESSP).
WCRP participates in many WMO activities. It works closely with National Meteorological and Hydrological Services on the implementation of the Global Framework for Climate Services, in which it is expected to act as the main research component. Together with the WMO Atmospheric Research and Environment Programme, WCRP is developing a "seamless prediction system" to enable a wide range of weather, climate, hydrological and environmental predictions.
Research observations are an essential element of monitoring climate variability and change, understanding trends, and initializing models for climate prediction. WCRP's key partnership with the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) advocates for the complete implementation of the climate observing system, with sustained support for quality-assured observations.
Scientists affiliated with WCRP produce the climate change and ozone layer projections and predictions that underpin much of the work of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), as well as the Stratospheric Ozone Depletion Scientific Assessments carried out by WMO and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). WCRP regularly informs the UN
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its subsidiary bodies on the scientific issues related to climate change.
WCRP is a co-sponsor of the SysTem for Analysis, Research and Training (START), a programme to make the knowledge and the tools of climate predictions available to scientists from developing countries. The ultimate goal of WCRP is to foster scientific capacity in all nations of the world in order to address challenges and opportunities resulting from climate variability and change at the regional and global levels.
WCRP's research and network facilitation is an important contributor
to efforts to meet the UN
Millennium Development Goals, especially environmental sustainability
and combating malaria and other diseases. WCRP is partnering with
DIVERSITAS and other global environmental change programmes to build
on the Millennium Ecosystem

The Yellow Wallpaper
by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The Yellow Wallpaper Introduction
In A Nutshell
In 1887, Charlotte Perkins Gilman went to see a specialist in the hope of curing her recurring nervous breakdowns. The specialist recommended a "rest cure," which consisted of lying in bed all day and engaging in intellectual activity for only two hours a day. After three months, Gilman says, she was "near the borderline of utter mental ruin." (See "Why I Wrote the Yellow Wallpaper")
In due time, Gilman disregarded the specialist's advice and wrote "The Yellow Wallpaper" to demonstrate the kind of madness produced by the popular "rest cure." It was published in 1891 in New England Magazine . For the first decade of its life, "The Yellow Wallpaper" was read as a piece of horror fiction firmly situated in the Gothic genre. Since the 1960s, however, it has been anthologized as a piece of the women's movement illustrating 19th century attitudes towards women's physical and mental health. (See our discussion of "Genre" for more on this.) According to Gilman, the short story was never intended as a Gothic horror, but rather as a cautionary tale about what supposed "rest cures" could do to the mental stability of patients. In her own words, Gilman wrote: "It was not intended to drive people crazy, but to save people from being driven crazy, and it worked." She sent a copy to the physician who had recommended a rest cure, and he subsequently changed his medical practices.
Why Should I Care?
Remember when you were a kid and you were being maybe a little obnoxious and your parents sent you to your room or gave you a timeout? Remember when you had to sit still or stay inside, when all your friends were playing and you weren't allowed to join them, the time seemed to streeeetch on forever? Maybe your mind started to waver and wander, and perhaps you started to imagine, we don't know—something along the lines of the wallpaper in your room coming alive? There's a reason people in movies freak out in solitary confinement: Having nothing to do for hours on end makes you a little nuts.
The thing is, Charlotte Perkins Gilman is counting on the fact that you, the reader, have at some time in your life been sent to bed without supper or been stuck inside when you wanted to go out. She's counting on the fact that you know something about claustrophobia or resentment so that you can sympathize with the narrator of this short story in her slow trajectory towards madness.
Gilman doesn't want to create some clinical study of insanity here; she wants you to feel every crawling inch of craziness. She knows you've got an imagination, that you can guess, from your experiences of a couple of hours of tedium, what a whole summer of solitary confinement would be like—and we're gambling that she's right. It's tough to read this story without wondering if, under similar circumstances circumstances, you yourself might start crawling out of the yellow wallpaper.
Maybe the specific injustices Gilman fights in this story—issues like men's excessive power over their wives and doctors' excessive power over their patients—seem like they belong more to the 1890s than to the current millennium. But we still read "The Yellow Wallpaper" even so, because the story's language is powerful enough to reach out of the page and make you feel like maybe you're cracking up. Gilman relies on the reader's own enduring (and often ugly) human feelings to give you a deeply disturbing snapshot of what you might be like after something as simple as a summer inside—and that snapshot is no pretty picture.

Award-winning artist and art instructor M.E. "Mike" Bailey presents new work in "Something Beyond the Obvious," a show opening Mondayat Viewpoints Gallery. A reception with the artist will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday.
Bailey says he first started painting in watercolor at age 46 as a method of stress release for his job in high tech marketing. After a few years he started working as an estimator in the roofing business, which he recalls was "an ideal setup" for concentrating on his painting. "We didn't work on rainy days," he notes wryly.
He began his artistic studies earnestly, "painting often and in multiples," and then studying at one-week workshops with various artists in the United States. "I studied as hard as I could, consuming nights until the wee hours and reading lots of publications and books about painting," he said.
It finally came together after five or six years "of being so driven to learn." At that point other painters started coming to him for instruction. Bailey taught for about five years for the UC Santa Cruz extension. After that he started teaching at art societies in the Bay Area.
"As my paintings began garnering awards around the country in various competitions and exhibitions, the demand for my teaching reached across the United States and beyond," he says. He's taught from coast to coast and internationally in Spain and France.
He has many fans who think of him as an extraordinary teacher and give him credit for their breakthroughs to artistic understanding. Bailey has a great sense of humor that helps keep his workshops fun as well as challenging and fruitful. He spends 15 to 20 weeks each year instructing groups, from beginning painters to the advanced.
This spring he is teaching the plain air class "Paint Point Reyes Landscapes" from April 26-28. In July he's presenting "Paint in France with Mike Bailey and Friends" at the Domaine du Haut Baran Art Retreats in Puy l'Eveque, France. That course is July 8-18. Check his website at www.mebaileyart.com for full information about these classes and others he is giving in the coming months.
Open studios are another way of sharing his art with the public. Bailey notes that he has held an open studio at his home every year for 23 years.
His most recent honor is having his work accepted into the International Biennial Watercolor Competition in Shanghai, China. That exhibition had more than 9,000 entries from 62 countries as well as China, and just 180 were chosen for exhibition. His painting "is currently touring with a few others in the show to various venues in China," he says.
Bailey is associated with the Santa Clara Valley Watercolor Society and is a signature member and president emeritus of the National Watercolor Society (NWS). His works are held in private and corporate collections in the U.S., Europe and Australia.
"Something Beyond the Obvious" will be on view through Feb. 23. Viewpoints Gallery is at 315 State St., Los Altos. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays. Call 650-941-5789 or visit www.viewpointsgallery.com.
It's love
Gallery 9 focuses on "Love, Love, Love" for its next exhibition, which opens Tuesday and will continue through Feb. 23. A reception for the 30-artist group show will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday.
The show includes work by mixed media artist Joyce Savre, oil painting by retired clinical psychologist Gene Zukowsky and the monotype "Love" by Cherise Thompson. Other media in the show are etching, monotype, metal work, photography, ceramics, wood sculpture and jewelry.
The gallery is at 143 Main St., Los Altos. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. Call 650-941-7969 or visit www.gallery9losaltos.com.
Human spirit
An exhibition of paintings and drawings by Roberto Chavez is on view at Wiegand Gallery through Feb. 23. A reception, which will feature a discussion by painter Robert Ross, a friend of the artist and author of the catalog essay, from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday.
There are more than 40 works featured in the show. In addition, an 88-page catalog with 69 color reproductions will accompany the exhibition. The artist, now 80, is recognized as an influential figure in California art.
Ross writes that Chavez's work "is powerful and life affirming in its celebration of color, of light, of the pure discovery of human meaning and pictorial possibility," although "much of his work is challenging and even troubling."
The Wiegand Gallery is on the campus of Notre Dame de Namur University, 1500 Ralston Ave., Belmont. Gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Admission is free. Call 650-508-3595 or visit www.wiegandgallery.org.

Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly resulting from the invaginations of the enamel organ into the dental papilla during the soft tissue stage of development. As the hard tissues are formed, the invaginated enamel organ produces a small tooth within the future pulp chamber. This kind of tooth malformation was described first by Ploquet in 1794 who discovered this anomaly in a whale's tooth1.
Dens invagination in a human tooth was first described by a dentist named 'Socrates' in 1856 2. Synonyms for this malformation are: Dens in dente, invaginated odontome, dilated gestant odontome, dilated gestant odontome, dilated composite odontome, tooth inclusion, dentoid in dente, gestant odontome, dents telescopes.
The aetiology of dens invaginatus malformation is controversial and remains unclear. Over the last decades several theories have been proposed to explain the aetiology of dental coronal invaginations:
Kronfeld (1934) suggested that the invagination results from a focal failure of growth of the internal enamel epithelium while the surrounding normal epithelium continues to proliferateand engulf the static area3.
Rushton (1937) proposed that the invagination is a result of rapid and aggressive proliferation of a part of the internal enamel epithelium invading the dental papilla. He regarded this as benign neoplasma of limited growth4.
Oehlers (1957) considered that distortion of the enamel organ during tooth development and subsequent protrusion of a part of the enamel organ will lead to the formation of an enamel-lined channel ending at the cingulum or occasionally at the incisal tip. The latter might be associated with irregular crown form5,6.
Atkinson (1943) suggested that the problem was the result of external forces exerting an effect on the tooth germ during development7. Such forces could be from adjacent tooth germs, e.g. the central incisor or canine which develop at least 6 months prior to the lateral incisor8 whilst other external factors such as trauma9 and infection10 have also been suggested as a cause.
During tooth development the ectomesenchymal signalling systems that occur between the dental papilla and the internal enamel epithelium affect tooth morphogenesis11. These signals have specific roles such as the regulation of growth and the folding of the enamel organ12. The absence of certain molecules can result in abnormally shaped teeth as well as defects in the developing tooth germ13. For this reason the proposal that genetic factors may be the cause of dens invaginatus has some credibility14-16. Support for this possible cause also comes from a reported case of an individual lacking chromosome 7q32 who presented with dens invaginatus in addition to other dental abnormalities such as hypodontia17. There is further support from a clinical study of 3020 Swedish children that reported 2.7% of patients with dens invaginatus, 43% of their parents and 32% of siblings also had evidence of the condition14.
The first documented attempt to classify dens invaginatus was by Hallet18 (1953) who suggested the existence of four types of invagination based on both clinical and radiographic criteria. Other classifications have also been described involving a variety of criteria and standards19,20. For example, Schulze & Brand21 (1972) suggested an assessment based on twelve possible variations in clinical and radiographic appearance of the invagination. However, the system described by Oehlers5 (1957a) appears to be the most widely used, possibly because of its simple nomenclature and ease of application. This system categorizes invaginations into three classes as determined by how far they extend radiographically from the crown into the root (Figure 1).
Type I: The invagination is minimal and enamel-lined, it is confined within the crown of the tooth and does not extend beyond the level of the external amelo-cemental junction.
Type II: The invagination is enamel-lined and extends into the pulp chamber but remains within the root canal with no communication with the periodontal ligament .
Type IIIA: The invagination extends through the root and communicates laterally with the periodontal ligament space through a pseudo-foramen. There is usually no communication with the pulp, which lies compressed within the root.
Type IIIB: The invagination extends through the root and communicates with the periodontal ligament at the apical foramen. There is usually no communication with the pulp.
In Type III lesions, any infection within the invagination can lead to an inflammatory response within the periodontal tissues giving rise to a 'peri-invagination periodontitis'.
The limitations associated with the use of conventional radiography in the classification and management of dens invaginatus may be overcome in the future with the increasing availability of computerized 3D imaging22,23. Currently, such clinical techniques do not provide images of sufficient quality to fully evaluate the morphology of an invagination in situ although for extracted teeth sufficient detail can be obtained.
Prevalence and Distribution
The reported prevalence of adult teeth affected with dens invaginatus is between 0.3% and 10% with the problem observed in 0.25% to 26.1% of individuals examined (Table 1). The wide variation in reported prevalence may be explained by the different cohorts studied, identification criteria used and diagnostic difficulties However, more recent studies24,25 have utilized a recognized classification system.
The permanent maxillary lateral incisor appears to be the most frequently affected tooth26 with posterior teeth less likely to be affected27,28. This is supported by Hamasha & Al-Omari29 (2004). A number of case reports have identified dens invaginatus in mandibular teeth30-34.There is also some evidence that the problem may be symmetrical7,14,24. However, conflicting opinions exist with Swanson & McCarthy35 (1947) . There have also been case reports of dens invaginatus occurring in the primary dentition36-39.
However, all the documented case reports are of males which, if a true reflection, contrasts to the permanent dentition where females appear to be more at risk40 or there is no gender difference reported24. The dental literature on dens invaginatus malformations contains several case reports presenting invaginated teeth coincident with other dental anomalies, malformations and even dental or medical syndromes.26 (Table 1).
Nature of Invagination
The invagination may be associated with changes in the morphology of the root canal itself. One study that examined an extracted root filled invaginated tooth observed that the root canal was irregular in cross-section, with wave-like constrictions and dilatations56. There have also been reports of multiple root canals being present in association with the invagination57-59. Investigations into the histological, microscopically and radiographical nature of dens invaginatus have provided conflicting results. In some studies, the invaginated surface has been described as being uniform and regular with no communication with the pulp60-63. In contrast, others have described interruptions in the invaginated surface which could potentially act as a portal for irritants to the pulp 3,5,9,61,63,64. Beynon 65 reported hypomineralized enamel at the base of the invagination where as Morfis 66 in a chemical analysis, detected up to eight times more phosphate and calcium compared with the outer enamel, but in his analysis magnesium was missing completely. Bloch -Zupan et al67 found differences in structure and composition between the external and internal enamel. The internal enamel exhibited a typical and more complex rod shapes and its surface presented the typical honey comb pattern but no perikymata which however was observed on the outer surface of tooth.The structure of the dentine surrounding the invagination has also been reported as being irregular with connective tissue inclusions and communications towards the pulp7,60,62,65.
The variation in findings of the nature of the invagination can possibly be explained by the different techniques used in each study, namely, histological62 chemical analyses66, SEM67,68 and microradiographic65 and micro X-ray diffraction60 techniques employed.
Diagnosis of Dens Invaginatus
In most cases a dens invaginatus is detected by chance on the radiograph (Figure 2). Clinically, unusual crown morphology ('dilated', 'peg-shaped', 'barrel-shaped') or a deep foramen coecum may be important hints, but affected teeth also may show no clinical signs of the malformation. As pulpal involvement of teeth with coronal invaginations may occur a short time after tooth eruption early diagnosis is mandatory to instigate preventive treatment.
The invagination allows entry of irritants into an area which is separated from pulpal tissue by only a thin layer of enamel and dentine and presents a predisposition for the development of dental caries. In some cases the enamel-lining is incomplete. Channels may also exist between the invagination and the pulp3,69. Therefore, pulp necrosis often occurs rather early, within a few years of eruption, sometimes even before root end closure19,35,70. Other reported sequelae of undiagnosed and untreated coronal invaginations are abscess formation 71-73, retention of neighbouring teeth 74,75, cysts 27,71 and internal resorption 76
Normal conventional radiograph can not provide detailed structural information about this malformation.
A latest radiographic technology, spiral computed tomography, have been introduced by Reddy et al which is not only helpful in diagnosis of dens invaginatus but also provide3-dimensional image of variations in root canal anatomy. 77
Management of dens invaginatus
The treatments options are;
1) Prophylactic or preventive sealing of the invagination 78,79
2) Root canal treatment 34,80
3) Endodontic apical surgery 81,82
4) Intentional replantation 83
5) Extraction 43,84
Type I and Type II
Once an invagination has been identified, base-line vitality test readings should be taken to get current pulpal status. Where pathological disease is absent the instigation of appropriate prophylactic measures should commence as soon as possible. There have been a wide variety of techniques advocated for prophylactic treatment. This has included the preparation of the invagination entrance and the placement of an amalgam restoration whilst more contemporary techniques have included the use of fissure sealant. 85,86 Where possible the use of magnification to open up the invagination entrance using a combination of fast hand piece burs and ultrasonic instruments should be considered to gain full access to the invagination.84 Once the invagination is fully exposed, MTA can be used to obturate the invagination and access cavity will be sealed with composite The tooth should be regularly monitored for vitality loss. If this arises, appropriate root canal treatment should be instigated.85
Antiseptic control is usually achieved by intracanal medicaments such as calcium hydroxide most commonly used but recently introduced triple antibiotic (ciprofloxacin,metronidazole,minocycline) paste has also been used and open apex problem is overcome by forming apical plug either using calcium hydroxide or by MTA (mineral trioxide aggregate).34,87,88 When simple endodontic therapy fails then combination of nonsurgical and surgical treatment could be performed.81
Type III
In a vital tooth associated with periradicular inflammation, the invagination should be treated endodontically in the same way as anormal root canal to preserve the pulp vitality.89 A combined endodontic and surgical therapy in a vital tooth has also been reported.82 Pulp necrosis occurring in a tooth with the usual form of type III invagination is often successfully managed by endodontic therapy of root canal and the invagination alone, or by a combined endodontic and surgical therapy.90,91 In some cases ultrasonic can be used for the complete removal of invagination to facilitate endodontic therapy.84
As the morphology of these teeth is complex, if root canal treatment is not possible then extraction is usually recommended and prosthetic replacement is done.85,92 The role of intentional replantation has also been reported in very complex forms of type III dens invaginatus.93,94 The use of MTA in combination with gutta percha may be considered, where the post preparation apical portions are wide and blunder-buss in their formation.95

outstanding choice for my dining area. It has received many positive comments from my friends.
From my perspective, this rug is beautiful. I especially like the way the silk threads stand out under certain lighting conditions. It has proven to be durable, easy to maintain, and most comfortable under foot.

Latitude 2010
Latitude Festival 2010 Reviews (14)
Theatre503 bring their regular new writing night PLAYlist to Latitude, showing again that they've bused more talented people onto site than any other company. Like other new writing nights, the aim is to showcase short new plays by up-and-coming writers; but the innovation in this format is that each new play must be inspired by a song, and preferably last no longer than the song itself.
For Latitude, nine writers have been commissioned to pick a song by an artist or band performing at the festival, and write a theatrical response to it. A versatile cast of five cover all the parts, and Derek Bond directs. Each piece lasts barely five minutes: it's a great format and produces some fine little gems (that benefit, of course, by never being able to outstay their welcome).
The nine pieces are: The Geese of Beverley Road by Daniel Kanaber, inspired by The Geese of Beverley Road by The National; Foreground by Tom Morton Smith, inspired by Foreground by Grizzly Bear; A Hundred Years or More by Hannah Mulder, inspired by The Testimony of Patience Kershaw by The Unthanks; The Other Side of the Fence by Ben Ockrent, inspired by Infinity by The xx; I'm Thinking I Was Wrong by Sian Owen, inspired by New Romantic by Laura Marling; Waiting for the Heartaches by Lola Stephenson, inspired by Waiting for the Heartaches by The Coral; Arse by Colin Teevan, inspired by You've Got the Love by Florence and the Machine; 1993 at the Candy Shop by Jack Thorne, inspired by Coles Corner by Richard Hawley; and Paperweight by Rosalind Wyllie, inspired by Paperweight by Joshua Radin.
My particular highlights were Hannah Mulder's touching vignette of a nervous man trying to strike up conversation with the girl who stocks the shelves in the supermarket; Jack Thorne's lovely little piece about adolescent love, with a boy waiting to meet the girl of his dreams outside the sweet shop and his mate stoking up his fear; and Colin Teevan's retelling of A Midsummer Night's Dream (the second of the festival), with a lowly actor from an improv troupe given "magic dust" by a stranger, transformed into an ass and finally getting to cavort bestially with Florence herself.
Best of the lot, for me, was Colin Teevan's Arse, which has a gay pig - meant to be breeding stock and so now in line for the abattoir instead - recalling with quiet, upper-class reserve the events of one night's romantic liaison, which made him realise what he was. It's a lovely bit of comic anthropomorphism, all the funnier for the delicate restraint of Teevan's writing; and as the pig Simon Darwen brings the house down.
There's no overall continuous theme to the pieces, so the idea is that we appreciate each one as a complete entity in itself. It's great for getting us to respect the craftsmanship that has gone into making each piece of work, however short it may be. And it would be nothing without the quality of the writing: Theatre503 continuing their fine record of giving as many artists as possible the platform on which to shine.

Vin's GW2 Art
Posted 05 February 2013 - 07:18 PM
Two newest ones, very rough, but I hope I'll be able to finish them one day. So far it's mostly just some general lighting / composition practice. My sylvari necro and, well, what I'd want to be my mesmer, hopefully we'll get more "mesmerish" armors one day:
An older, but more finished, Sylvari sketch:
Pencil sketches of my ranger and (now retired) Norn necro, with some digital colors added:
And last, but not least, Shan's mesmer portrait:
I gotta admit GW1 was a game that taught me a lot about art (well, concepts for the game mostly), and I just love getting inspired by the franchise, it has the best art team I've ever seen. That said, I'm never trying to blindly copy their designs, so all my works are rather GW inspired than typical fanarts.
Hope you'll like them!

As for commissions - no commission threads are allowed at the moment, but also I simply have no time right now. So that's a no. At least for the time being.
As for npcs - we'll see. To be honest I haven't found that many interesting so far (and I'm done with the storyline on a few alts, all orders).. Not sure why. They all feel somewhat generic. I only liked Tybalt and that Asura 'bomber' dude (with a horrible wife).. and somehow I don't see myself sketching a charr anytime soon ;)

Mississippi is playing a big role in the largest study of it's kind when it comes to mapping out the future of children's health care.
Mississippi parents, children, and researchers will be a part of an unprecedented study to shine a light on children's healthcare throughout the state and the nation.
The Magnolia State research will come from University Medical Center in Jackson.
"The study is designed to watch children as they live, and grow to help us learn about what keeps them healthy, and what may be contributing to long term illness," says researcher Sharon Wyatt.

Throughout their life researchers will be looking at everything that could trigger illness from immediate surrounding to behavioral patterns.
